(Note: Restricted Plane Rules, Weapons Don't Work Perfectly)
The heirloom holy weapon of the royal family, the symbol of imperial power in the past dynasties, has only been seen three times in the night, and the most of them are in the Taimiao of the royal family. It's a pity that after the destruction of the Eastern Kingdom, the Taimiao Temple was breached, countless treasures were plundered, and the dragon's reverse scale was also among them.
Not to mention the significance of this weapon, the use value alone is enough to make Cangye unscrupulous to get it. Compared to it, his own ordinary weapon, which was only a second-order, was too shabby.
It's a pity that the auctioneer originally knew the value of the scale itself, and also knew the origin of this weapon, the starting price was 50,000 yuan, and it was finally auctioned at a price of nearly 300,000 yuan.
Cangye doesn't feel a pity, he has a cold-blooded brain that is very different from humans, so that he will not be bound by the so-called justice and morality, and he can do whatever it takes.
……
Nightshade waited until the end of the auction, and then followed the auctioneer away.
His stealth skills aren't perfect, but they're ingenious, and with the super-dynamic vision that comes with SuperBrain, he's capable of possessing the Eagle Eye's vision.
Returning to the outside world along another tunnel, Cangye hung more than 100 meters behind the buyer.
Stopping in front of a mansion in the civilian quarter, near the aristocratic quarter, the buyer takes off his disguise and reveals his true face.
It was a young woman with beautiful long flaxen hair, with an ordinary countenance, no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and a faint freckle on her face.
Look carefully at each other's outfits, although extravagant and expensive, they avoid some of the necessary accessories of the nobility.
Although he is rich, he is not an aristocrat, and he should be a big businessman.
Lei Chuan quickly came to a conclusion, only to see the woman running into the mansion as if she were flying, her cheerful steps were like magpies, and the oncoming guards and maids all saluted respectfully.
It seems that the eldest lady who is not familiar with the world has entered the black market for fun, and has a huge amount of money, coupled with the location of this house, this big businessman has considerable wealth and power, even if he is not a nobleman, and he is only one step away from the noble honorary citizen.
In addition to this, Cang Ye also found that there were more than a dozen bodyguards escorting him all the way in the dark, otherwise this naïve eldest lady might really fall into the black market, you know, the people there are no longer enough to describe as bold.
Recording the position below, a panorama of the route from the central arena to the merchant's mansion was immediately engraved in his mind, with several additional roads connecting the north gate, the Jakun mansion, and the Romu mansion.
A plan was taking shape, and the night was going to wait until the last day of the festival, when all the Romans would be at their highest level of emotion and the lowest level of vigilance, when the chances of success were three times greater.
However, the Dragon's Scales are of extraordinary value and cannot be given up either.
Buying a weapon at the cost of hundreds of thousands of gold coins is by no means as simple as collecting, it will change later, and the plan must be advanced.
After some careful consideration, Cangye decided to start the plan in three days, which happened to be the time for his holiday.
……
Short swords, poisons, and dead souls were all stored near the North Gate by Night. A few months after a gladiator riot, where tens of thousands of people fought, buildings within a few hundred meters were almost flattened, and financial resources were limited during the festival, so a few months later it was still in ruins, and the inhabitants were temporarily resettled in the slums.
The Romans could not help but be cruel to foreigners, as well as to civilians.
Finding a hidden pit, Cangye put things in it, and after camouflaging it, he walked away quickly, because at this moment, the sun was about to set.
……
Three days later.
The festival has entered its second month, and the unhappiness caused by the gladiator rebellion has long since subsided, the body of Spartacus crucified has long been exposed to the sun, and in the first few days, there are passers-by who will come forward to spit and spit on it, but no one cares about it now.
This is a good sign for the night.
For more than two months, although there were still large-scale patrols at night, their posture was much slacklower than at the beginning.
During the holidays, Cangye was allowed to spend the night outside, but since he stepped out the door, he has been vaguely aware that someone is following him, despite the skill of the other party's concealment.
Passing through several streets in a row, the location became more and more remote, and the pace of the night became faster and faster, and the walk was like flying, so to speak.
A faint breath came out.
Over there!
"Detect the location of enemy units with an accuracy assessment of 95%! ……”
"Fulfill the conditions and obtain the basic skill [Anti-Reconnaissance], points +1."
Night's constitution attribute is 6 points, while ordinary people in the harvest area only have 2 points, and professions such as miners and blacksmiths may reach 3 points, and 4 points are the standard of elite soldiers and gladiators.
It is impossible for the tracker to have a physique above 5 points, and he was dragged down by the night in a short period of time, and the moment the horse's feet were exposed, the night shot instantly.
"Swift Offensive!"
The tracker was taken aback by the half-cut knife peeking out of his trouser leg.
How can it be? How did he get the weapon out of the gladiatorial arena?
Although he is a free man, he still can't carry weapons when he goes out during the holidays, and the weapons and equipment of the night are guarded by special personnel.
The dagger ejected from the shoesword, and the man kicked it into the night.
A crunch!
The long knife severed the dagger, and by the way, the head of the tracker.
After a little look at the other party's outfit, a typical thief's dress, there are no identifiable items on his body, but the one who will follow him is only the owner of the gladiatorial arena, after all, he is the most expensive commodity with the "freedom label" in his hand.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a sneer, and Cangye dragged the corpse into the dark alley to solve it and then dodged away.
In the middle of the night, the figure of the night stopped in front of the wine cellar.
In just a few days of vacation, Nightnight quickly discovered the locations of various wine cellars and wineries in the city, distributed in all directions of the city.
Relying on the knowledge in his head, Cangye used saltpeter, sulfur and other items to concoct improvised explosives, and crashed into various cellars and wineries.
Explosions could be heard in the distance, and the sky-high flames instantly illuminated the night, and the reveling crowd scattered and fled, letting out cries of terror. The flames from the gunpowder spread in all directions due to the alcohol, and in a short time spread to a quarter of the city, leaving only the north gate to be reached.
With the knowledge in Cangye's mind, mixing gunpowder is just a trivial matter, and it is not just a simple black powder, as long as a small package can instantly collapse a wooden house covering an area of forty or fifty square meters.
The Harvest Area is a hunting ground for gods and demons, and the areas below 10 Mystic are maintained in the dark and obscurantist Middle Ages, and gunpowder is an important item related to the handover of the era of cold weapons and hot weapons.
For this reason, Cangye also tried to cover it up, and the fire after the explosion was the last way to destroy it.
With the raging flames, the night slowly departed.
The fire spread quickly, walking between the flames, but the night did not feel hot at all, only the smoke was a little suffocating.
Early on, he discovered that he was not afraid of fire, and that could have something to do with his bloodline. Superbrain has detected that its own genes contain unknown components, and none of the genetic samples stored in the Galactic Federation match them.
For this, Cangye knew it in his heart.
Dominant in the multiverse "Wings of Annihilation" and "Vengeful Dragon Prince", the legendary boss naturally has an extraordinary bloodline in his body.
