While they were roughly looking through the equipment, the contents of the stone room were also decreasing rapidly. Mo Bei didn't even miss the display racks and dragged them all into the inventory.
"It's runes! There are also skeletons, they are all placed on this side!"
He casually opened a storage cabinet that was as tall as one person, and he was pleasantly surprised when he saw that the small partition inside was filled with gray-black stones and gray-white small skeletons. There were as many as two to three hundred pieces in total.
Compared with the gems just now, this quantity can be said to be pitifully small, but the explosion rate of runes and skeletons is really ethereal, and the demand is not low, so it is amazing to be able to hoard so many.
Probably because the prices of rune stones and skeletons fluctuate greatly, and you may not be able to exchange them for double the price when needed, they are not placed together with hard currencies with stable prices such as gold coins and gems.
The highest-level rune is Phar No. 19, which has a level requirement of 41. When embedded in all types of equipment, it increases power by 10 points. There are two in total.
Other runes are also very complete, especially numbers 7 to 13, which are currently in high demand and cost-effective. There are several of them, plus a large number of gems, so they can upgrade some of the low-level top-grade dark gold on them. , that doesn’t hurt at all.
Moreover, now that he has a huge amount of synthetic materials and can use the Horadric Cube to train his mental strength, the days ahead will be simply wonderful.
In addition, with a lot of gold coins in their hands, they really have the confidence to make trouble during this operation in Kaltim City. The ultimate goal is no longer just to collect information conservatively. If you have money, you must not be willful. ! ?
On the wall on one side of the stone room, the stacked boxes were filled with metal ingots. Mo Bei could also recognize thorium, black gold, a small amount of mithril, and a dozen other kinds of metal ingots. He didn't recognize any metal with special texture or halo.
The materials that can be placed here are all very rare materials. Gold coins and gems are piled randomly, but these metal ingots are neatly stacked. Some of them even have paper seals, which shows their preciousness.
There are also two sets of noble robes of different sizes and matching swords, which are all placed in a very exquisite crystal cabinet. Just like the outfit Jie Hain prepared for Mo Bei, it was extremely luxurious.
But the too colorful colors and exaggerated shapes reminded Mo Bei of clown costumes. He felt that they were incomparable to his own, and he couldn't accept this exotic style of painting.
If this is an aristocratic dinner, wouldn't it be like a lantern parade?
These two outfits should have belonged to Conrad's ancestors. They were not buried with them, but were placed here to be passed down from generation to generation.
Thinking of the funerary objects, Mo Bei had another thought in his mind about whether to visit their ancestral grave. .
At this moment, not only was his mind busy, but the movement of his hands never stopped for a moment.
"These two boxes are good."
He threw the two sets of noble clothes and the two jeweled swords into a pile of broken equipment. Instead, he put away the two crystal cabinets, thinking of using them as decorations later.
There were really many kinds of things in this stone room, so he stuffed them all into the inventory without having time to look at them carefully. When the two left, there was really not even a hair left in the two stone rooms, only two The sound of people's retreating footsteps and Mo Bei's cheerful laughter echoed in the empty stone room.
Back in the bedroom, there was a faint light coming through the gaps in the curtains. Mo Bei looked outside the door and everything was normal, and then returned to his place with a somewhat shaky step.
"Did you find anything?" Alvin asked in a low voice impatiently when he saw him coming back.
Mo Bei nodded and did not answer directly. But seeing Alvin constantly lifting his legs and changing his feet, looking a little unsteady, he said:
"That's not true. I've only been standing here for less than half the night."
"It's a bit hard to stand. Don't you think it's better if you run away? The more we want to stand still, the more we want to move..." Alvin complained with a grimace.
Mo Bei smiled suddenly, but he understood.
Standing guard like this is as normal for the palace guards as eating and drinking, but it is indeed a bit painful for Ned Alvin.
The two of them now felt that even the sentries or patrols at the top of the city were much better than this. At least they could walk back and forth. They were amazed at how these people could stand like sculptures for several hours or even a whole day.
Ned can also meditate to pass the time, but Alvin, a lazy man who can sit or lie down, is really in pain.
Mo Bei arranged a change of guard, and the six members of the team met in a room to discuss the details of the next move.
At this time, in another luxurious mansion in the east of the inner city, a fat man with a big beard was shirtless. While rinsing his mouth, the maids carefully wiped his fat body with a wet towel.
The cool touch gradually dispelled the sleepiness, but it could not reduce the slight tinnitus caused by sleepiness, because the reports from the men behind him also made his anger and blood pressure continue to rise.
This fat man is the great nobleman of the Kingdom of Kegistan, Theodore and Virgil, who has a similar status and wealth to Conrad. He is the largest mine owner in Alkanas and Conrad's biggest competitor.
This family made its fortune in quarrying and developed into a huge force during the construction of Kurast and Trevank. During the turbulent period of the kingdom, it entered the Gale Land and was one of the most important forces in rebuilding the mining city of Alkanas. One, this also laid the foundation for their current status.
Because of his body shape, he was afraid of the heat, so he only put on a lined and breathable silk robe to cover up his bloated body and sat at the dining table under the service of the maids.
Waking up early already left him with little appetite, and the news coming back from Kurast Harbor made him even less interested in eating. He habitually stretched out his hand towards the glass of cold dew wine and paused, as if he didn't want his judgment to be affected by alcohol at this time, even in the slightest. Then he picked up the water glass on the side and drank it down in one gulp.
Virgil's round face and bearded face looked quite honest, but the occasional cold flash in his eyes at this time somewhat destroyed this honest and kind disguise.
"Full acceptance..."
He rubbed a piece of fluorite in his hand and muttered with a sullen face, speculating on Conrad's intentions.
When Conrad left Caldeum City a few days ago, he was not able to avoid his spy. He would not ignore the unusual behavior of his old rival, and immediately sent someone to follow him to gather information.
However, because he felt that the Tolaran Rainforest was unprofitable in recent years, he neglected to operate the intelligence network at Kurast Seaport, and was slow to obtain information that was only circulated among the management, so he did not learn about it until now The whole process.
The situation caught him off guard. He really didn't expect that the stones laid on the edge of the garden garden to provide decoration at night would be what they desperately needed.
Mining and transportation account for only a small half of Alkanas Mining's expenses, while smelting accounts for the other half.
The profit from selling ore is very low, and the transportation cost will also increase, which is very uneconomical. This is why they need to build a city to smelt ore.
However, this place does not have the vast Salva Forest like Ernstinger, and the mineral deposits are small but refined, so the energy consumption is not large.
Although there are immeasurable mineral reserves in the Gale Land, there is no grass growing, let alone forests. Therefore, the fuel consumption required for smelting has limited the development of mining to a great extent.
At present, they mainly use gem-driven magic circles for smelting. Even with the assistance of mage mercenaries, the consumption is very terrible, and the remuneration of mercenaries is definitely not low.
The flux in his hand can lower the melting point and improve the quality of metal. After testing, the value of the flux in his hand is close to that of a broken gem!
Virgil now only regrets that the information came too late. The agreement between the two countries is no joke. Although he can get the authorization from Emperor Hakan, he has no room for maneuver and can only make other plans.
Thinking of this, he stood up and decided to meet his old rival.
