Infrastructure Throne

Lance's brow sank: "My brother can't do it! Please don't think too much about him!"

Shen Qingze narrowed his eyes indifferently: "... Can you shake the water in your head? Don't be filled with yellow waste all day long!"

Lance wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Shen Qingze ruthlessly waving his hand: "Give me your brother's information, don't talk nonsense about the rest, I'm not interested in listening."

"You promised to save him?" Lance was surprised and excited.

Shen Qingze nodded slightly: "I lack talents who are good at building ships, and for this reason I am willing to give it a try. Don't think about what you have and what you don't have."

Lance gave him a strange look, and began to recount the bits and pieces of news he had heard from his previous owner...

It is said that Lott built a smelting workshop in the inner city, where all the goblin craftsmen and slaves he bought were kept there, and they worked day and night to make magic weapons for him. Every day, slaves were exhausted to death, and then their bodies were dragged out to be buried. Enter the mass grave.

It's fine to die from exhaustion. There are also some weapons made by slaves with painstaking efforts. Lotte is not satisfied, and it is common to beat slaves to death on the spot.

Those slaves are consumables for nobles like Lott, and a life is not as valuable as a weed on the side of the road.

Shen Qingze frowned slightly: "So, what if your brother is already dead?"

"No!" Lance said firmly, "He and I are siblings of the same mother and are connected by blood. If he dies, I will definitely feel it."

... so mysterious.

Shen Qingze raised his eyebrows: "Then can you sense where he is?"

Lance lowered his head and thought for a while, "If we're close, we might feel a little bit."

Shen Qingze is helpless, saying this is the same as not saying it.

He silently opened the small map, because the main city was bound, everything in Yuanliu City and its surrounding area was completely open to him.

However, the map of Mingzhu City only shows an area near the place he passed by, and the place where he has not set foot is still blank.

He went to poke the clues and instructions of the side missions.

[You heard about the tragic experience of the Lance brothers, and felt sympathy and indignation in your heart. You decided to punish these cruel nobles, rescue Els, and reunite the two brothers. 】

[You have heard some information from Lance. Lott's smelting workshop is located in the west of the inner city. It is heavily guarded and it is not easy to infiltrate. However, the manager of the workshop, Fu Tan, is a lustful and hungry ghost. He often summons female slaves at night. Maybe this is an opportunity. 】

[Please complete the side mission within 24 hours, otherwise Els may face death, and there will be no reward for mission failure. 】

The more Shen Qingze reads, the uglier his face becomes, and it's a time-limited task, the system is too stingy, the task that can earn amethyst, how can it be easy to complete?

Summon lucky female slave?Do you want to wear women's clothes and mix in?Then steal a man out?

Seeing that Shen Qingze's long eyebrows were furrowed, Lance thought he was unwilling to take risks, so he hurriedly said: "Let me go with you, if there is any danger, I will bear it, I can help!"

Shen Qingze raised her eyes and glanced at him, then asked casually: "Are you willing to wear women's clothes?"

Lance: "???"

Shen Qingze first pretended to be an ordinary businessman, went to the smelting workshop to step on it, and then ordered Jin Da to get two sets of female slave costumes, and when the guards changed at night, he dressed up as a lucky female slave and sneaked into the workshop to find someone.

The City Lord's Mansion in the inner city of Pearl City.

This huge city lord's mansion was built on a low hill, covering an area almost five times the size of Yuanliu City's city lord's mansion, including most of the center of the inner city.

The City Lord's Mansion is divided into upper, middle and lower floors by high walls of gray stone bricks. The uppermost floor is the residence of the City Lord and the council hall, the middle floor is the residence of other family members, and the bottom floor is the place where the complex supporting defense facilities and the guards live.

It is well known in Pearl City that the two brothers Lott and Tia are at odds, and the courtyards where the two live are also far away from each other, almost at the east and west ends of the middle floor.

Fu Tan, the butler of Lott's smelting workshop, got a precious knife from Shen Qingze today, and he couldn't wait to present it to his master.

Lotte has a tall and handsome appearance, which is completely different from his frail and beautiful brother.

At this moment, he was holding the long knife, slashing a pair of bright silver iron armor vigorously. The sharp sawtooth of the blade drew white marks on the armor, and the ear-piercing friction sound of gold and iron clashing echoed in the spacious hall.

Soon, many parts of the iron armor were dented, deformed, or even damaged, and the blade was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Futan bowed obsequiously: "Young City Lord is really born with supernatural power."

"It's the knife." Lot snorted in satisfaction, and gently wiped the blade with silk, letting the maid come up to wipe his sweat.

Futan was overjoyed, and bent even lower: "This knife was made in the smelting workshop after several months of hard work. During these few months, my subordinates have put all their energy into dedicating it to you. My lord, only a general with gods and supernatural powers like you can possess such a treasured sword."

Lot laughed a few times: "Very well, Fordan, I thought that the smelting workshop has been unable to produce good things for a long time, and it's because you didn't manage the relationship well. From this point of view, you have done a good job in the smelting workshop , there should be rewards, um, a new batch of female slaves have been paid in the city, and I will give you two."

Fortunately, I got a good knife in time to save my life and save my position!

Futan breathed a sigh of relief, secretly wiped off the sweat on his forehead, and knelt down to thank his master.

As for who forged this knife, does it matter?A group of country bumpkins who want to look up to him, can they still compete with him for credit?

into the night.

The outer city of Mingzhu City has gradually lost its lights, but the inner city is still brightly lit.

Shen Qingze led Lance to squat at the side door of the workshop for a long time, just in time to meet the female slave who was rewarded by Lott to Fu Tan, and there were only two guards who were in charge of escorting them, and they were easily knocked down by the two.

Wearing women's clothes, Shen Qingze and Lance swaggered into the smelting workshop through the side door instead of female slaves.

The moment Shen Qingze stepped into the workshop, a new blank area on the small map was gradually opened to him. He carefully identified the direction of the patrol guards and the location of the slaves, and led Lance to sneak in smoothly all the way.

"I can feel it! It's almost there! Els must have felt us coming!" Lance's hoarse voice trembled with excitement.

Shen Qingze held the hem of the small skirt in both hands, relying on the guidance of the small map to quietly avoid the patrolling guards, seeing the slave room not far ahead, but was blocked by the guards guarding the door.

Lance gritted his teeth: "What should I do? Break in?"

Based on years of experience in playing games, Shen Qingze shook his head calmly: "No, once we are discovered, there will be a steady stream of reinforcements coming, and our operation will fail."

He was thinking about whether to find a way to divert the tiger away from the mountain, when he caught a glimpse of a black figure out of the corner of his eye, passing silently by the high wall above their heads, and disappeared in an instant.

Shen Qingze was slightly startled, before he had time to react, a sharp whip flew through the air and accurately captured his right wrist!

In the dim light, he quickly made two moves with the person coming, and grabbed the whip with his right hand and yanked it fiercely.

In the shadow of no one, the two of them leaned against the corner of the wall, Shen Qingze's expression moved slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Yan Zui?"

The black shadow stopped suddenly, pulled down his hood slightly, and his long black hair fell softly behind him.

With a ray of hazy moonlight, Yan Zui's eyes fell on Shen Qingze's powdered face, continued to look down, and stopped on the bulging chest, his expression became extraordinarily subtle:

"Alas……"

On the other side, seeing Shen Qingze being restrained, Lance took out the short dagger hidden in his sleeve in desperation, put it on Yan Zui's shoulder and neck from behind, and said viciously: "Let go of him quickly! Pervert!"

Shen Qingze: "..."

Gan!
