MTL - Iron Armored City-Chapter 4 Dilapidated Castle
The 'Self-Explosion Collar' is a device that restrains slaves. It is worn around the neck, and if found to escape, the master can detonate it.
More reassuring than a contract, more humane than poison.
It is a relatively common thing in this world!
Li Yinguang looked at Goda, the housekeeper who was kneeling on one knee, weighing in his eyes, then looked down at Alma who was full of vicious eyes. It was not difficult to kill her, but it would not be worth the candle to face Goda's crazy counterattack.
"Okay, then I will trust you one more time for now!"
After the butler Goda put on the self-destruct collar and confirmed that it was put on for Alma, Li Yinguang was relieved, at least the immediate crisis was resolved.
But seeing Elma's sinister and vicious eyes, I knew in my heart that it was impossible to trust the two of them safely!
"Old Dick is dead!"
Li Yinguang shook the red wine glass. He heard that Old Dick had bought this glass from Mambach Town at a high price. It was polished from pure natural crystal and he liked it very much, but he drank low-quality red wine.
However, these things are now Li Yinguang's property.
Alma and the housekeeper Goda, who were kneeling on the ground, couldn't believe it. Old Dick didn't succeed in taking the house? Then the young man in front of him...could it be Bruce the fool?
"Whether you believe it or not, this is true."
Li Yinguang took a sip of the red wine in the glass, frowned slightly, a little hard to swallow, put the crystal goblet on the table casually, and said with a smile: "Gorda, if I betroth Alma to you and let you continue Would you like to stay and serve me in the iron-clad city of 'Castle'?"
To marry Mistress Alma? No, it should be the former hostess Alma!
The housekeeper Goda was overjoyed and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, master, of course we are happy!"
Li Yinguang looked at Alma and said with a smile, "What about you?"
"Of course I would be happy too!" But the smile was far-fetched and a little fake.
This woman has a sinister and greedy personality, and loves vanity. She has been reduced from the majestic hostess of the "Old Castle" to a housekeeper's wife. It is no wonder that she feels comfortable in her heart.
"Okay, then you can live together in the future, it can be regarded as lovers who will eventually form a circle." Li Yinguang didn't point it out, and said with a smile.
He didn't like Alma, so he definitely wouldn't let her sleep next to him. As Old Dick's wife, sending her away casually in exchange for the loyalty of the housekeeper, Goda, was definitely a bargain.
"Gorda, you know a lot about the situation on the 'Old Castle', so please introduce it to me!" Li Yinguang changed the topic to the 'Old Castle'.
As the most precious thing in Old Dick's legacy, Li Yinguang also attaches great importance to it.
Steward Goda said respectfully: "There are now sixty crew members on the 'Castle', including twenty combatants, twenty-six coolies, three repairers, two dismantlers, two cooks, seven Maids, among the coolies only twelve were hired workers in the town of Mambach, the rest were purchased slaves.
Of the three repairmen, only one is a slave, and the rest are employees. As for the cook, all the maids are slaves.
The combatants are confidantes trained by old Dick, the captain is Saipan, except for the maid and us, the rest of the people live below the fifth floor of the 'Castle'..."
Li Yinguang got more detailed data about the 'Old Castle' from the mouth of the housekeeper Goda.
"Winter is coming. In order to prepare for the 'seize the house', the former owner purchased a large amount of potions and alchemy materials. The Iron Armored City has not replenished fuel for several months. The fuel stored in the warehouse is less than 10%, let alone Going to the wilderness to scavenge and hunt, if you encounter an Iron Armored City that is bigger than us, if you want to escape, you may not be able to escape." The housekeeper Goda sighed.
Li Yinguang asked with flickering eyes: "Is it true that we can't beat the Iron Armored City, which is bigger than our 'Old Castle'?"
Butler Goda said with a wry smile: "The size is similar, depending on the number of weapons and fighters carried, if you encounter a large armored city and cannot escape, the only fate is to be annexed!"
'Steel' is a kind of resource. Having steel can strengthen the Iron Armored City and make the Iron Armored City bigger. Of course, to evolve the Iron Armored City, in addition to steel, you also need a 'smelting furnace', and weapon systems. The steampunk world is a systematic engineering discipline.
"Where can the Castle be ranked in the town of Mambach?" Li Yinguang asked thoughtfully.
Butler Goda thought for a while and said, "It should be ranked among the top 1,000. In the town of Mambach, the former owner, Old Dick, was quite famous."
Into the top 1,000?
Li Yinguang scratched his head, he seemed to be a 'little guy' too.
"How far are we from 'Mambach Town' now?"
"A day's journey!"
Because of the fuel and the loss of the house, Old Dick did not drive the 'Castle' to the depths of the wasteland. The deeper he entered the wasteland, not to mention the need to consume a lot of fuel, the risk factor would gradually increase.
He paid a lot of money to buy the alchemy materials needed to seize the house, resulting in a financial deficit. Old Dick also put all his eggs in one basket, putting his fate on the down-and-out nobleman Bruce.
As long as you can live, the rest of the things will turn around.
Li Yinguang thought about it: "That is to say, we have to go back to Mambach town to replenish fuel before we can go to the wilderness again?"
Butler Goda shook his head: "In order to buy alchemy materials~www.novelbuddy.com~ Old Dick dismantled and sold the only long-range weapon 'Cannon' on the 'Old Castle', and now there are only two left on the 'Old Castle'." In addition, the armor of our 'Castle' is also rusted and damaged in many places and needs to be repaired with steel."
Li Yinguang: "..."
After a while, he said helplessly: "That is to say, in addition to fuel replenishment, the 'Castle' also needs to add weapon systems and repair armor?"
"Yes!"
The butler Goda showed a slight smile on his face: "If the master wants to go to the wilderness to scavenge and explore, it is best to buy a few mechanical chariots and mechanical motorcycles, and then hire some people, otherwise the fighters on the 'Castle' and The maneuverability is terrible."
Li Yinguang was right, the 'Old Castle' is an old, dilapidated and small garbage iron-clad city!
arms? Demolished! armor? Rusty leak!
If you want fuel, you don't have fuel, if you want combat power, you don't have combat.
"My adoptive father is really bad at it!"
Li Yinguang couldn't help muttering.
As luck would have it, Old Dick's legacy is also a very attractive piece of fat in the eyes of others.
In the dark night, an armored city similar in size to the Castle was slowly moving in the wilderness.
"Have you found the exact position of the 'Castle'?"
"Master, the mechanical scout reported that the 'Castle' was parked more than 20 kilometers to the southwest of us."
"Hey, okay, this old Dick is really stupid. He even sells the cannons on the Castle. He really doesn't think his life is too long. Put enough fuel in the smelting furnace and move forward at full speed. I will kill old Dick tonight. , 'swallow' the Castle!"
