Volume 2 Amber Chapter 70: Different Numbers, Different Plans
Chen Lun carried a wooden box and came to the fourth-floor attic of his small manor villa.
Place the wooden box in the corner of the attic and cover it with a black cloth.
There were already several such wooden boxes neatly placed nearby, filled with muskets made by a team of craftsmen led by Connie, as well as some ammunition.
We now have thirty or forty finished products. After the initial run-in and with Connie's guidance, the craftsmen have made rapid progress and the team's efficiency is getting higher and higher.
Chen Lun once took a repeating flintlock rifle and disassembled it for Connie, but Connie said that it was impossible to copy it because it used some special materials and parts. In the absence of drawings, it was even more impossible to build it.
Chen Lun felt regretful for a while, and finally could only sigh that the extraordinary workshop in the shelter was really fucking cunning and had such a good confidentiality mechanism.
He then took out a pair of Connie No. 1, which was the first piece to be made in the true sense. The previous sample had been taken back by Connie because she found several flaws and improved it.
"To some extent, this pair of gloves is more suitable for dealing with low-sequence extraordinary beings... The lethality is stronger than that of ordinary muskets, comparable to ordinary combat- type [D-level weird things].
But I can make this thing in bulk, which is a great way to make a fortune."
Chen Lun kept it as his trump card.
After he finished cleaning the attic, he planned to ask the coachman to take him to Pompeii Manor to give Rebecca lessons.
At present, it is basically certain that [Philip's inheritance] is not in the backyard, and Viscount Pompey has no trace of getting this "treasure" , so Chen Lun has to focus on saving Floy first.
During this period, apart from Vigere's temptation, everything else was calm, and he and Floy moved back to their own small manor.
There is only one month left, so we must hurry.
He locked onto Vigeri, the adopted son of Viscount Pompey. This [Sequence 8 - Gourmet] transcendent was most likely Dolly himself.
But after that night, Viger left Pompeii Manor the next day. According to the Viscount, he interrupted his vacation because the troops were urgently recalled.
But Chen Lun remained silent on this statement.
Obviously, Vigeri had failed in his attempt to test him, so he did not intend to stay in the manor to avoid a conflict with him. Now this person was probably hiding in the dark, and could launch a fatal attack on him at any time.
Baron Barney, the Black Knife Brotherhood, and now Vigerry, as well as the "Lord Oil Paint" as he calls him, Chen Lun just treats it as a matter of fact.
These things revolve around Pompeii Manor and are related to the "Dark Clouds" mission.
The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so we are in a very passive position.
Chen Lun was accumulating strength for himself while waiting for the moment to counterattack.
"Connie has recently developed some good stuff, and I have combined two characteristics to develop a new technique... Don't let me catch you, or you will be in big trouble!"
…
A few days later.
Clank, clank, clank...Woo!
Polaris was sitting on the train, looking at the scenery outside the window.
After going through untold hardships, they finally got on the train to the big city.
On the way from Emerald Town to the train station, they encountered four waves of robbers, some of which were smaller, with three or four bandits, and some were larger, with more than a dozen.
If there are few enemies, they can still fight to the death to kill one or two, but if there are more, they will face annihilation.
Later, they learned to be smart and ran away when they saw that the situation was not right. When the robbers met such a target, they would give up after chasing for a distance. Then they would bypass this section of the road and continue to move forward.
On average, each person died two or three times on the road, which was quite difficult.
Fortunately, the resurrection point is not too far from the place of death, otherwise it would be really frightening. This is also the price of opening up new land and running maps, but as long as you can get through it, the future is bright.
Ding ding ding!
"The next stop is Amber City Station! Hurry if you want to get off the train! The stop will only last half an hour!"
A middle-aged man in a uniform and a round hat was ringing a small bell and reminding people along the aisle.
"We'll get off here soon. The next large city is farther away and will take five or six days to travel. We don't have that much time."
said the centaur, sitting opposite the North Star.
Polaris and Su Keying nodded to show that they understood.
Soon the train arrived at the station. The platform was crowded with people, many passengers carrying bags and suitcases coming and going.
After double checking by police officers and Imperial Guards, Polaris and his group were issued temporary identification cards, limiting their activities to the outer city area.
After leaving the train station, Ma Ren asked about his next plans.
"Let's split up and gather intelligence more efficiently."
Polaris is not used to being told what to do, which is why he is unwilling to join a guild and has always been a lone ranger .
"Then let's add each other as friends and contact each other online if there is any news."
The centaur didn't comment, but just showed a regretful expression.
After Polaris and Su Keying added the three of them as friends, the two sides parted ways on the spot.
As he walked away, Goutoujin sneered.
"Those two guys are really stupid. If they follow us, they can share some inside information. If they fight alone, they will definitely not be able to move forward in such a big city."
The centaur looked at the two of them and said with a smile:
"Forget it. Everyone has their own aspirations. When they regret it, they will have to provide valuable information in exchange for our help."
He hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively:
"By the way, what is the initial goal of your 'God's Love'?"
"What do you think, Brother Centaur? The think tanks of our three major guilds actually have similar command directions. They just lay the foundation of information first and pave the way for the large forces behind."
Oblivion chuckled.
"Don't tell me that you, the Heroic Spirit Pavilion, are not like this."
The centaur laughed, then patted Forgotten Wuji on the shoulder.
"Of course it is... So I don't need to tell you where we are going now."
“Let’s go, find the local bosses in the outer city and join them.
Although you can't gain extraordinary knowledge, it's a good place to gain a foothold."
Forget Wuji said.
The backs of the three people gradually walked away.
Polaris and Su Keying stood outside the train station, discussing their next plan. But after a while, they still had no idea.
"We can't possibly keep doing manual labor. What's the difference between this and working somewhere else..."
Su Keying said depressedly.
"We can't help it. We don't have much money left. We may have to sleep on the street tonight."
Polaris said calmly.
When Su Keying heard this, she immediately got angry and her eyes widened.
"No way! I want to find a place to take a shower... This game is too real, I feel like I stink!"
"How wonderful! You can record these as well, showing the cruelty and reality of the world."
Su Keying rolled her eyes.
"Come on, no one likes to see the daily life of a beggar, okay?"
They chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting dark, they decided to walk around.
Before they knew it, they were at Denton Street.
But before he took two steps, he met two patrolling guards.
"Hey! You two!"
The guard looked at their attire and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Show me your identification."
Polaris glanced at the guard's armor and the dagger at his waist, and obediently handed over the temporary certificate issued at the railway station.
But after the guard took a casual glance, he frowned.
clang!
He drew out his dagger on the spot and pointed it at Polaris and Su Keying.
"Your temporary status has expired! Now follow me to the prison!"
Su Keying was startled, and Polaris' heart sank.
He knew that the two guards were planning to extort money from them because they were new arrivals.
Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem, but the problem is that they have no money now!
If we are caught and taken to jail, this internal test will basically fail.
"--what to do?"
Su Keying secretly sent a short message.
Polaris felt a slight headache.
