Chapter 575 574 Old Flywheel and His Hungry Factory for the "Huo Zheng Is Good" Brother [1630]

Chapter 575 574. Old Flywheel and his Hungry Factory - Extra chapter for brother "Huo Zheng is good" [1630]

The strange owner of Hungry Mountain called out Murphy's name and called him a "famous" lord, which fully shows that someone outside of Transia has paid attention to Murphy.

But the Lord was not surprised.

Shani once reminded her that the Thieves Guild established by the halflings monitors the entire continent. It is the largest intelligence organization on the continent. And Luke Flywheel is a halfling with a mysterious origin. It is not incredible that he can use the channels of the Thieves Guild to understand the situation.

As far as Murphy's own thinking is concerned, he believes that a guy who can gain a foothold in a place like Hungry Mountain is definitely not a naive person. Luke Flywheel's behavior of recruiting a group of ogres as guards may seem funny, but this guy is definitely one of the most complicated people Murphy has to face since his rebirth.

As we all know, in most contexts, "complex" means "dangerous".

After passing the stage of the four hungry brothers, Murphy, who was able to walk from the platform on the mountainside into the hidden space of the mountain, soon felt a wave of heat coming towards him.

He walked through the corridor of the natural cave and saw several fully armed bear goblins patrolling in front.

It was a humanoid creature with green skin and a body of more than two meters. It was shorter than the wolf soldiers, but taller and stronger than humans.

Their most famous feature is a pair of sharp ears, which are very similar to the ears of elves, but their manners are much sloppier and uglier than elves, mainly because these guys have fangs and long hair.

Their bodies are covered with not very thick hair, which makes them look barbaric.

Bear goblins are also indigenous creatures of the Dark Mountains. This race has huge individual differences. The bear goblins in front of Murphy are normal individuals, but Tris has seen a huge species of bear goblins of the same size as young ogres.

They do not have their own civilization, but bear goblins are one of the few creatures with high intelligence in the Dark Mountains, so they have their own city near the Eternal Rift.

The Bugbears are peaceful and have certain psychic talents. They occasionally organize their own caravans to travel around the Dark Mountains to do some small business. There are also some Bugbear travelers and mercenaries on the continent. These guys have good brains and their fingers are as flexible as humans, so they can make quite good products.

This is the first time Murphy has seen Bugbears, and it is also the first time he has seen so many Bugbears gathered together.

Looking in the direction of the Bugbear guards wearing rough but heavy steel armor, Murphy can see a "factory in the mountain" in operation. Tools like waterwheels rotate to lift the magma below and send it into the grooves for forging. In the steaming heat, several Bugbear workers carry heavy ore and pour it on the magma.

Then the operator at a high place pulls the lever to let the heavy forging hammer fall, and it hits the ore with a bang, sparks flying.

It was a very sophisticated device. The ore was crushed by the forging hammer and melted in the magma smelting. Then it went into the next process along the flow channel. There were three different groups of workers. Some carried forging hammers to hit iron blocks to forge weapons, some carried molds to cast some parts, and finally a group of bear goblins operating strange tools to refine the ore.

The whole factory was very large, and there were quite a lot of bear goblin workers. At a glance, there were at least two hundred people working.

It was very busy.

Murphy also saw something very similar to a mine cart track, which extended directly from the center of the factory to a natural cave below. There were also some bear goblins waiting for carts of iron ingots to be sent there for secondary processing.

This was not just a simple factory. They had developed the concept of a "processing center". At least in the area that Murphy could see, there were three workshops for weapons, armor and engineering items.

Sulk Flywheel must have spent a lot of time and money to create such a grand show in Hungry Mountain. It is said that he has been entrenched here for more than 40 years. It seems that this halfling warlord has really made a big move quietly.

More importantly, on the way to the laboratory, Murphy saw bundles of weapons and boxes of armor being packed up, as if they were to be transported to other places.

The styles of these weapons and armor are not for humans, dwarves or vampires.

"This bastard is doing business with the gnolls! The weapons he made here are all for the gnolls to use in war. Chao, if I were a hero, I would find a way to blow up this evil factory now.

Unfortunately, I am not."

Murphy had an epiphany in his heart.

He snorted. As a vampire, he was not comfortable in this scorching place, so he quickly walked forward and followed the guidance of the core gem to Sulk Flywheel's laboratory.

That place was deeper in the factory, and there was a hole in the mountain.

Until this moment, Murphy realized why Sulk Flywheel chose Hungry Mountain as his base camp. It was an active volcano with enough magma and heat to provide the factory with the necessary forging materials.

This guy is really crazy.

Isn't he afraid that some righteous silver dwarf earth priest will pass by here one day and "activate the volcano" to destroy all his foundation and himself?

Hmm.

Considering that even Marshal Loren needs to buy the calculation orbs that are banned from export by halflings from Sulq Feilun, this guy is probably not afraid.

Well, mastering the core technology is awesome. Doing whatever you want is not enough to describe the arrogance of this wild warlord, Su Ke Feilun.

"Hey, stop! You need to be searched before you go in."

Just as Murphy entered the cave where the laboratory was located, a sharp sound with a strange metallic sound sounded in the darkness in front of Murphy, causing the vampire to frown immediately.

It was a halfling dressed in assassin attire. Judging from the outline of his figure, he looked like a woman.

Halflings, as the name suggests, are individuals half the height of humans.

They are very short, even a little shorter than dwarves, and their bodies are very thin and slender.

However, most halflings are not ugly. Their appearance is as "refined" as their bodies. This allows the civilized camp, which always likes to judge people by their appearance, to undoubtedly confirm that halflings are members of the civilized people.

What's more, halflings possess the best wisdom on this continent.

The brains of these little people are really very useful, and they can empathize with humans. Most of the emotions between the two parties are mutual, and this creates a rather embarrassing fact, such as hybrids.

The largest number of mixed-race species on the continent are humans and elves. After all, in human legends, elves have always been synonymous with beauty, purity and nobility, but the second-largest number of mixed-race species, well, if you have seen little Sharon's mother, you will You know, degenerate things like humans will go into heat with halflings.

Ah, it sounds like this civilization is hopeless.

In Murphy's previous memories, he had seen halfling merchants in his long-forgotten and lost hometown of East Prussia, but these timid "pacifists" almost never went to Transia.

They feared the rudeness of the Transians, and the Transians, who worshiped strength, rightly despised the weakness of the halflings.

But this was not the main reason why Murphy felt that the halfling assassin in front of him was strange.

Murphy had no ill feelings towards halflings. What really made him frown was that the guy in front of him had no "blood" in his body. After the previous binding candidate awakened the scarlet secret power, Murphy could sense and manipulate blood, but this guy in front of him had no "blood" in his body. Guys have no weaknesses that he can exploit.

"Are you a robot?"

Murphy said vigilantly:

"Has the black technology of halflings developed to this extent?"

"Robot? Ha, what a stupid layman's term."

The halfling assassin whose identity was revealed made a harsh sneer. The guy approached Murphy nimbly, then raised his head and stared at him. Under the assassin's mask, there was a pair of weird, lifelike ruby ​​eyes.

she says:

"You are definitely not a steam engineer, and I don't expect your stupid vampire brain to have even a shred of wisdom. I'm going to search you. You don't have any quirks, do you? You shouldn't bite me on the neck and try to turn me into a A vampire?"

"You don't even have blood, madam. The blessing of midnight has left you forever. You have lost the possibility of walking into the night forever in your life, but I don't think you will feel regret."

Murphy stretched out his arms and said:

"Just search it and don't touch it."

"Ha, you vampire is much easier to talk to than your compatriots who came before. They are all a bunch of idiots, you know? They call me a monster. Bah, a bumpkin who has never even seen the Mysterious Steam Golem!

Too lazy to talk to them. "

The voice was harsh. The little man who called himself "Steam Golem" quickly touched Murphy's clothes. There was a strange instrument on her wrist that was beeping like a detection device. When the mechanical shotgun was fired, the thing suddenly made a piercing sound.

"Wow! A marvel of engineering!"

The chattering little man screamed:

"The thing that can transform must be a miraculous creation! Maybe it's the legacy of the Creator! You vampire are so mysterious. Hey, can you let me see your big baby? Handsome vampire, I promise I'm just taking a look. I haven't seen you for a long time. I’ve seen such an amazing creation heritage.”

"Of course I can touch it for you. I'm here with good intentions after all."

Murphy glanced at the guy. He took off his shotgun and said:

"But you can't watch it in vain, right?"

"I have no money. Everything I have belongs to Suik Feilun. As you can see, the poor halfling in front of you has lost everything, leaving only a functioning brain."

The steam doll pretended to be pitiful and said:

"I don't have any property of my own. In fact, as long as Fei Luan gives an order, I will pop out the high-powered cutting saw on my wrist to slit your neck, and add two high-explosive gold-burning bombs to your heart.

For someone who was once a high-ranking member of the Assassin's Guild, it's pretty tragic that I've ended up in this situation, right? "

"Since you were a member of the Assassin's Guild before, are you still taking jobs now?"

Murphy handed the changing shotgun of the Vientiane Device to the steam golem, and he said:

"I really need some powerful people to support my camp on the other side of Desolate Mountain. If you can make it cheaper, I will be happier."

"Oh, as long as Fei Lun agrees, I'll be fine."

The demon was playing with this cool mechanical shotgun very happily, and she said:

"You can call me 'Jasmine'. Of course, it's just a code name, but I think we are already friends. So if someone places an order for your head in the future, I will try to be gentle, handsome vampire brother.

Go quickly, Flywheel is waiting for you.

Oh, an extra reminder, don't touch any liquid he pours for you. In addition to being a great engineer, Flywheel is also an alchemist.

That guy is a real genius!

It's a pity that he was dumped by his girlfriend and cheated on by his best brother, which makes him a little bit mentally unstable now."

"Thanks for the reminder."

Murphy smiled, straightened his clothes and put the necessary evil in the storage box at the door, then pushed open the door of the laboratory, and then he wondered if he had opened the wrong door and entered a "garbage dump" full of various mechanical parts.

In the corner of the large mountain laboratory, there were several strange, missing limbs of steam walkers, and in the opposite corner stood a complex coil device that was still flashing arcs.

The bookshelf where books should be placed is full of all kinds of strange engineering objects. What is incomprehensible is that between a black multi-purpose wrench and a silver automatic screwdriver, there is a roasted lamb leg with teeth marks left after eating.

The owner of this place, the wild warlord of Hungry Mountain, Lord Ryuk Flywheel, is wearing an engineering goggles like VR glasses, standing in front of a halfling girl who is suspended in the air and busy.

He holds a sparking pliers in his left hand and a cable in his right hand, constantly talking to himself like a genius lunatic immersed in his own world, and the halfling girl who is hung by three chains is naked, making this scene look full of some kind of "restricted" flavor.

However, to be honest, there is nothing to see.

Because the halfling girl who is hung up is a steam puppet like Jasmine outside the door.

Her limbs and torso have been disassembled.

The strange thing like a circuit board in the chest was taken out and put aside. Sulk Flywheel put a strange device with five computing orbs connected in parallel in the heart position of her chest. He is now trying to activate this "mechanical heart".

This scene looks horrifying.

But Murphy did not interrupt the process. On the contrary, he took the core orb and recorded the scene with interest. He threw this thing into the forum as a "development material", which would definitely cause a lot of people to scream.

"Hey, help me hold this cable. I have to fine-tune the current to make Dina's "heart" work again. Those damn dusk cultists almost destroyed her last hope.

Fortunately, Jasmine went in time to pull my poor student back from hell."

Sulk Flywheel shouted to Murphy behind him very irritably. The vampire lord shrugged and stepped forward to hold the sparking cable. He took this opportunity to look at Sulk Flywheel.

This guy is a typical halfling mechanic.

He is extremely smart and has an awkward Mediterranean hairstyle, but other than that, there is not much to attract attention about Ryuk Flywheel, just like an ordinary middle-aged halfling. But seeing how skillfully he modifies the settings of the magical steam puppet in front of him, you can tell that this guy is definitely not an ordinary person.

After all, Murphy just learned this term a few minutes ago, and he is sure that Xiao Sharon has never described this branch of engineering that sounds very high-end, so Xiao Sharon, who is judged as the "First Engineer of Transia", has never heard of it.

This thing must be a "restricted" taboo knowledge in the field of engineering.

Building a humanoid Gundam with bare hands?

It sounds very high-end!

"You just mentioned Dusk."

Murphy maintained his grip on the cable and whispered:

"So they are your enemies too? Do you know that Dusk is behind the Jackals pushing the Black Plague? If you knew, why did you sell weapons to the Jackals?"

"You have too many questions. I can only tell you that there are many things in this world that you can't just not do if you want to."

Sulphur replied casually:

"Even if I didn't sell as many weapons as I did, the Jackals wouldn't be any gentler when they entered the continent, and those idiots couldn't find the positioning devices hidden in the weapons, which would at least give the Assassin's Guild a guide for their cleanup operations during the war.

Young vampire, you can't just look at the surface.

As for Dusk

They are a marijuana I admit that, but my relationship with them is not as bad as yours, so if you are trying to persuade me to join you, then you can give up.

Old Flywheel lost everything when he was young, and I have nothing to do with what this terrible world will become in the future!

As you can see, I am just a wild warlord who is not worthy of being in the upper class, and I can only make a living by selling contraband.

Hold on tight! "

After he said that, Murphy immediately moved the cable in his hand forward to touch the strange "mechanical heart" on the chest of the puppet in front of him. As Sulk Flywheel pulled down the operating lever, a current of a specific frequency surged out, causing the "sleeping" steam puppet in front of him to scream a series of times.

The good news is that she seems to be "alive".

The bad news is that this guy's head was "blown" off, allowing Murphy to finally see the "secrets" hidden in the brain of this puppet.

It was an "organ" protected by a special spherical cover. The complete brain was immersed in a transparent liquid. There were weird electrodes underneath connected to the golem's engineering body, making this scene look horrifying and evil.

“Do you use ‘wetware’?”

Murphy said something in surprise. Su Ke Feilun next to him wiped the oil on his hands and grabbed the coil pistol at hand. He said:

"Do you still know about wetware? Tsk, you seem to be an expert. I like experts. After your brains are removed, they will become the best wetware. I have never used a vampire's brain to make a golem. I heard that you It can regenerate, but I don’t know if a new brain can grow after the brain is removed?”

"Shua"

The coil pistol with a beating light point was pressed against Murphy's chin. The strong paralysis made Murphy almost lose control of his body at this moment, but the scarlet secret power was also ready, allowing him to "pinch" the halfling in front of him. Blood flowing through the heart.

Sultan Flywheel took off his goggles, revealing two terrible scars, which immediately filled his plain face with "story" eyes. He stared at Murphy with a gentle and horrifying look, and said:

"Then, let's get down to business, thief Murphy! Loren paid the money but didn't receive the goods, and you intercepted the goods without paying. Not only did you greatly damage my credibility, but you also made me Lost an important customer.

How are you going to compensate me? "

"Giving you another important customer?"

Murphy shrugged and said:

"I heard that you have a lot of backlogged calculation orbs in your hand? Very good, I want them all!"
