Volume 3 New World Chapter 50 Taboo Metal
After Ma Wen said this, the vampires still looked confused.
Obviously, this guy has never heard of any [K series] metal.
Marvin didn't care. Gwen was probably intimidated by the Pale Hand. The only thing the vampire wanted to do was to leave this hellhole as soon as possible, return to the Ming Party's base camp, and report to Archduke William.
This is just as well. The less he cares about the treasure, the better. After all, in a place as big as Saruha, there may not be enough K metal stored.
When Marvin thought of this, he immediately said, "You wait here for me. It will only take fifteen minutes at most."
"In fifteen minutes, I will lead you to find the secret passage out."
Gwen nodded slightly.
Marvin turned on stealth and strode towards the small warehouse.
Although the small warehouse looks dilapidated, the detection constructs all around it are very dense.
However, Marvin is no longer the same person he used to be. With 200 points of super stealth, he can even dodge the detection spells of legendary wizards, let alone the detection of these small constructs?
He passed directly between the constructs without making any noise.
He groped around the low building again and again, but the front door and side door were both sealed and there seemed to be no way to get in.
Marvin had no choice but to jump up, onto the roof, and finally found a skylight.
"Fortunately, the skylight was not locked, otherwise opening the door violently would have attracted many constructs and alerted the madman who only cared about killing!"
Marvin's light body landed steadily inside the warehouse.
Faintly, countless faint voices sounded in Marvin's ears.
Waves of cries seemed like calls from ancient times, so real that they went straight into Marvin’s brain!
"The legend is indeed true, the K-series metal has amazing sound absorption capabilities."
"These sounds are probably the wails of the ancient goblins when they were in trouble."
"What happened back then?"
Ma Wen's face was serious, and he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
Even though he knew Fernando well, he still didn't know much about the history of ancient times.
After all, the official information provided was very limited, and what he explored on his own were all things that happened after the Cataclysm.
The Cataclysm destroyed a lot of things, leaving behind not much information about the ancient times. The few goblin ruins that were occasionally excavated could only provide some fragmentary information. If you really want to figure out all this, you may have to go to the Citadel.
But since Marvin traveled through time, there has been almost no news of any player being able to enter the academy and obtain the knowledge they want. Even those players who have taken the qualification of apprentices and vowed to become scholars for life are the same. Their levels are too low and they have no authority to find out anything.
…
The destruction of the ancient goblins was naturally very shocking.
However, Marvin's will became even more resolute after receiving the bonus of the [Magic Armband].
In just a few seconds, the sounds faded away from his ears.
His eyes began to scan the entire warehouse.
Although this warehouse is not big, it is piled with small boxes of raw materials!
Marvin knew that this place was where the ancient goblins stored the peerless mineral [K metal] that they dug out from the ground.
Because there is no sign outside this warehouse. Except for K metal, every warehouse has a sign outside that says "items are stored inside".
K metal is not a type of metal, but a series.
It is said that in the distant wild times, the Night King had just led the creatures of Fenan to fight their way out of the bloodshed and repelled the monsters in the chaotic wilderness. The remaining creatures began to divide the territory, and the weakest ancient goblins asked the Night King for the desolate land along the coast of the Pangbo Sea.
The other races were very surprised at the choice of the ancient goblins, but at that time, a very remarkable person emerged among the goblins, at least a great prophet-level strongman. This was his intention, and the goblins were very obedient.
They discovered countless mineral deposits here. The Great Prophet relied on his wisdom and fully utilized the talents of his people. Soon, an unprecedented country was established on the coast of the Pangbo Sea.
That was the first era of Fenan, the end of the Chaos Era!
How powerful the Goblin Empire was can be seen from the ruins they left behind.
During many mysterious missions to unearth the ancient Goblin Empire, people gradually learned that the Goblin Empire's troubles began with a kind of metal.
This story is quite bizarre. After it was revealed on the player forum at the time, it was called one of the most bizarre unsolved cases in Fenan's history.
The story is about the late Goblin Empire, when the Great Prophet was about to die, and at this time, they discovered a mysterious mineral deposit at the bottom of the Pangbo Sea. At that time, the Goblin Empire was already powerful to a certain extent, and even built something like a submarine.
They built a mining platform on the seabed offshore and wanted to dig deeper.
However, the excavation this time was not smooth. It is said that many goblins died in the construction of the platform. Although the Goblin Empire continued to invest in skilled engineers, it was always difficult to stabilize the platform.
Although the underwater platform was later secured, many inexplicable accidents occurred.
The great prophet was about to pass away and originally didn't want to care about these things.
But since so many talented engineers had died , he had no choice but to drag his sick body to see the doctor in person.
But when he saw the magical metals that had been excavated, his face changed immediately.
His orders were immediately issued: stop the project and forbid the goblins to mine this series of mysterious metals.
Even though the metals in this series do have very magical abilities.
Although the top leaders of the Goblin Empire were surprised, the old prophet was still there, so the project was hastily completed.
However, the greedy goblins easily forget the lessons of their ancestors, and about fifty years after the death of the Great Prophet, they reopened the project and collected this metal on a large scale in the sea.
But they didn't expect that it was this metal that brought them a catastrophe.
That’s right, this metal is the K-series metal that Marvin wants to obtain.
People say that this metal carries a curse that is directed not only at individuals but also at the entire greedy goblin kingdom.
At the end of the Chaos Era, information communication between the major racial forces was extremely underdeveloped.
When the high elves established their own civilization and began to travel around, they were shocked to find that the once-mighty Goblin Empire had collapsed at some point.
And not many people know about the legendary K metal.
As a time traveler, Marvin is naturally one of them.
…
Marvin didn't know much about the secrets of K metal, but he learned from the players who had done the mission of the secret of the fall of the Goblin Empire that the fall of the Goblin Empire was indeed related to this metal, but it was not purely the curse of this metal, but this metal aroused the fear of some creatures.
The ancient goblin empire collapsed overnight, which was not simply caused by these so-called curses. Marvin never believed in curses. He had survived the twelve curses, so why would he be afraid of K-metal?
He only knew that in the game, the K series metals were divided into three types. Players roughly named them K1, K2, and K3. The three metals were different from ordinary metals. They had very natural properties, namely [Demon Breaking], [God Forbidden], and [Indestructible].
When forging weapons, you only need to add a small amount of K metal to the weapons, and these weapons will automatically have these three enchantment effects!
You know, it is extremely difficult to add these attributes to weapons through ordinary enchantment methods.
In the entire Fenan, weapons with magic-breaking properties are extremely rare; divinely forbidden weapons are even rarer, and as for indestructible weapons, they are almost extinct.
Only a true master of enchantment could spend his entire life to create a weapon that has the power to break magic or divine forbidden weapons.
Otherwise, Marvin wouldn't have been so excited about getting the pair of [Green Leaves].
It possesses the two major attributes of breaking magic and prohibiting gods, and the blade is as thin and light as a cicada's wing. There is absolutely no K metal added. It is purely a powerful alchemical effect. Only a super grandmaster can create such a weapon.
It is impossible for an ordinary person to obtain such a magical weapon in his entire life.
However, this common sense was broken in the face of K metal, a divine object that even the scholars of the Pearl Tower called "forbidden metal".
Marvin knew very well what kind of turmoil would arise if these K metals were released to the public.
This is his trump card!
After the catastrophe, chaotic magic ran rampant in Fenan, and many wizards became the walking dead with magical powers because they were unable to pass the will test.
The gods will also send their subordinates into the Fenan world one after another.
Witchcraft and theocracy will be the mainstream forces in the future world.
And K metal is precisely their nemesis.
They are one of Marvin's most powerful trump cards against the chaos monsters and gods!
…
While recalling the power of K metal, Marvin began to plunder.
In fact, most of the boxes in the entire warehouse are empty, and it seems that most of the K metal has been used up.
Fortunately, Marvin found some in the corner.
He roughly counted and found that he had obtained eight small boxes of K metal, three of which contained K1 and K2, which had the effects of breaking magic and prohibiting gods respectively.
K3 only has two small boxes, which have the effect of [Indestructible].
Each small box contained only a fist-sized amount of K metal, but Marvin was already quite satisfied.
Because these K metals have been purified and have very high purity, they can be used to secretly smelt weapons and used at critical moments, which will definitely surprise future enemies!
…
Fifteen minutes later, Marvin sneaked out of the small warehouse as promised.
Gwen heaved a sigh of relief.
He was not curious at all about what was in the warehouse, but just urged Marvin to take him away from Saluha.
Marvin did not hesitate and walked around the arsenal , avoiding the patrols of several constructs, and finally opened the manhole cover of a sewer.
"Is this the secret passage you mentioned?"
Gwen frowned, looking disgusted.
Marvin couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Which is more important, escaping or keeping clean?"
After saying that, he ignored Gwen and jumped off the manhole cover first.
