1171 Playing Around

"Upstairs, I found some tools and parts. I made them myself."

Tang Mingyue's face showed disdain.

A player who did not even know a simple blueprint of a cart?

No wonder he couldn't even become a World Lord.

Seeing Ed in a daze again, Tang Mingyue could not help but frown, "Hurry up and help!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Ed threw away the strange thoughts in his mind and loaded the alchemy machine's torso into the cart.

"Oh right, where are your friends? What was their response just now?"

"Yes, I've sent the message to them. I've also given them the price. I asked them to help me get some energy magnetic field absorption and transformation devices."

Ed shook his head as if there was not much hope. He continued, "They haven't replied yet. Maybe they're still hesitating. I don't think the success rate is high. We still have to rely on ourselves."

"Yes."

After Fang Heng dismantled the two machines, he raised his head and looked at the end of the corridor. After estimating the time, he nodded to Ed and said, "I'll go to the second floor's maintenance room to take a look. After you're done with the shipment, go back to the eighth floor. We'll meet there."

...

On the first floor of the Alchemy Society, Yu Ruilin and his brother were following Moravic's group. They just stood there and watched the royal guards search the first floor carefully.

The figure beside him gradually solidified.

The younger brother, Yu Ruichen, went online and whispered a few words into Yu Ruilin's ear.

"Brother, they want the energy magnetic field absorption and transformation device. They also want to get the broken alchemy machinery on the second floor. They need our help."

Yu Ruilin was confused.

"Did he say what he wanted the components for?"

"I don't know. He didn't say anything."

Yu Ruichen shook his head repeatedly. He thought for a moment and added, "Brother, but the price they offered was very sincere."

"There's sincerity, but the corresponding risk is also great."

Yu Ruilin glanced at his younger brother and said, "It wasn't easy for us to join the Alchemy Society. We shouldn't be blinded by the immediate benefits. Look, the Alchemy Society is our foundation."

"Okay, I understand. I didn't promise them just now. I only said that this matter is a little difficult and we will try our best."

"Well done."

Yu Ruilin was quite satisfied with the answer.

He didn't intend to take the initiative to push this matter. Of course, he wouldn't mind helping the Prilla Gaming Guild earn a fortune as he did before.

"Brother, what do you think the people from the Prilla Gaming Guild are doing? Why did they suddenly go against the royal family? Her Highness' disappearance is also related to them?"

"I've heard about the contact between the Prilla Gaming Guild and the barbarians before. This time, the disappearance of Her Highness Mingyue is most likely related to the barbarians. I'm not sure how deep their involvement is."

Yu Ruilin thought for a moment and continued, "But I think they're more likely here for the enlightenment stone formula."

"Ah? They also want to..."

"Shh, let's just wait and see."

As the two of them were talking, the alarm suddenly rang throughout the entire passage.

"Brother? What's going on?"

Yu Ruilin furrowed his brows and answer, "It seems like Prilla Guild has made their move."

Hearing the alarm, Moravic's face darkened.

The chief guard, Quark, who was leading the search, was shocked as well. He turned around to look at Moravic and asked, "President Moravic, what's going on?"

"The alarm has been triggered."

"Enemy?" Quark's heart skipped a beat as he pressed, "Is it an enemy?"

Two members of the Alchemy Society hurried over and reported, "President, the alchemy machine on the fourth floor triggered the alarm! They suspected that the enemy had invaded! Please send reinforcements immediately!"

"Heh, so they're all hiding on the fourth floor!"

Quark waved his hand when he heard that and shouted, "Follow me, together!"

As he said that, Quark led the royal guards behind him and rushed toward the fourth floor.

Moravic's expression was gloomy. He did not step forward to stop the royal guards. Instead, he silently followed the people from the Alchemy Society.

"Brother, have we been exposed?"

"Not really. Let's follow them and see how first."

Yu Ruilin responded and quickly followed the team, heading towards the fourth floor.

...

On the third floor of the Alchemy Society, the royal guards and a large number of alchemy machines were caught in a bitter battle.

In less than five minutes, more and more alchemy machines were attracted from the upper floors of the building to join the battle.

More and more royal guards heard the commotion and came to help, and the scale of the battle between the two sides grew bigger and bigger, until Quark, Moravic, and the others arrived.

Quark initially thought he was here to catch the criminal, but he did not expect to see Garthor and his men fighting with the alchemy machines the moment he stepped into the hall on the third floor.

Where were the enemies?

What was going on?

Why did the royal guards and the alchemy machines start fighting first?

Quark suddenly felt like he was being played and rebuked loudly, "Garthor! What's going on?"

Garthor was also under a lot of pressure. When he saw the reinforcements, he immediately felt relieved and reported, "Captain, the alchemy machines are attacking us. We are forced to fight back."

The Alchemy Society!

Upon hearing that, Quark abruptly turned to look at the Vice President of the Alchemy Society, Moravic, with a questioning look in his eyes.

This group of trash was actually driving alchemy machines to attack them?

"Moravic, what are you waiting for? Aren't you going to make them stop?"

Moravic's face was cold as well. He glanced at Quark and snorted before slowly reaching out his hand from his sleeve and forming a mark with one hand.

"Buzz..."

The ring on Moravic's finger emitted a faint light, and the shadow of an alchemy magic array appeared under his feet.

The alchemy machines sensed it, and the indicator lights in their eyes turned white. They all stayed in place and entered standby mode.

Quark looked at Moravic and asked, "I need an explanation."

"Explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?"

Moravic sneered, shook his head, and said, "You should ask what your people did. These are the alchemy machines on the fourth floor. If it wasn't for your people trespassing on the fourth floor, the alchemy machines wouldn't have taken the initiative to attack."

"Captain! We definitely didn't enter the fourth floor!"

Quark was still staring at Moravic and said, "You heard it. My men don't lie."

"Hmph," Moravic snorted and said in disdain, "Alchemy machines don't lie too. I believe in alchemy more than humans."

Seeing the conflict between the two parties getting worse, Yu Ruilin's brows furrowed. Then, he seemed to have figured something out and a smile appeared on his face.

"I underestimated them. I didn't think that they would be so capable," Yu Ruilin mumbled to himself.

He took advantage of the chaos caused by the quarrel between the two sides and sneaked out of the group. He turned around and walked toward the second floor.

"Ah? Brother, what did you say? What do you mean by 'capable'?"

Yu Ruichen still didn't understand. He blinked his eyes and caught up with Yu Ruilin and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Creating a diversion. If I'm not wrong, that farce was planned by the Prilla Gaming Guild. Their target is the maintenance domain on the second floor. Let's go there and take a look."

"Uh, okay. But didn't we just say that we won't take the initiative to participate? "

"That's right. We're just going to take a look. We're going to see the legendary mage, Lord Fang Heng, with our own eyes." Yu Ruilin paused and added, " And I've changed my mind."
