Chapter 26 God-given Metal

"Hell, impossible, absolutely impossible." Mobak was almost shouting, "How could you see the curse metal here."

"I can't think of any other reason for the special building made of lead alloy except for the cursed metal storage." Shure was not as strong as Mobak's reaction, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his voice. "You don't think that they were just built with lead alloy because other metals just didn't have enough."

"Say, say, maybe there are other reasons." Mobak gritted his teeth and tangled for a while, and replied loudly, "Anyway, I don't believe there is that kind of thing here."

"Idiot dwarf, you'd better wipe your saliva first." The half-hearted man mocked her face, "I was so happy that I wanted to jump up, but I was still stubbornly saying something impossible. Haha, I understand, you are afraid that you will cry if you are disappointed."

"Bastard, you know, if it's curse metal, we're really going to make a fortune this time, how can we not calm down?"

Mobak was right. If Shure's guess was correct, then Zhuying's gains this time would be really unexpected. Being able to find a little curse metal is worth several Zhuying's gains.

In the world of Pavatiga, cursed metal is a very special mineral, which is extremely dangerous. In the past, some miners accidentally dug them and then died unknowingly under its influence.

As the name suggests, in legend, this metal is born with a strong curse and will affect all living things around it without any difference. It is exposed to its influence without any protection. Even if it passes by once by chance, it will be affected by the curse and feels very uncomfortable in the body.

As long as the time is long, the curse will exert its power, the hair will fall off, the teeth will loosen, the nails will fall off, the organs will become ulcerated, and the body will be deformed. If the vitality is complete, the body will eventually become a monster. Of course, most people have already supported their bodies and die early before they become monsters.

If you want to avoid being influenced by the curse, you can only wrap the curse metal with thick lead alloy and then leave far away. Alternatively, the priest's protective curse barrier can also effectively prevent the influence of the curse, but the barrier must be maintained at all times. Once the barrier disappears, danger will occur, and it is not as reliable as the lead alloy packaging.

Fortunately, the number of curse metals is very rare, especially the high-purity curse metals are calculated in grams, otherwise the daily work of miners will be very dangerous.

If this metal only has a curse effect, it is no big deal, so it won't make the shadow chasers care so much, but it has another effect besides curse.

After decades of the time when the curse metal was dug out, the energy of the curse slowly diluted and dissipated, and the effect of the curse gradually weakened. Finally, when the curse energy is completely purified, their names will change from curse metal to God-given metal.

Among the substances that have been discovered, God-given Metal has the strongest energy expansion and is one of the best materials for making weapons. Incorporating alloys made of God-given Metals can amplify their energy by 3% to 15% in proportion. Whether it is a weapon filled with Dou Qi, a Dou Qi blade released through weapons, a variety of magic emitted by magic staff, or even a healing magic released through ritual tools, it can be increased.

This means that once you have a high-level divine metal weapon, combat professionals can greatly improve their combat capabilities, and can even use this as a secret weapon to challenge higher-level strong people.

Therefore, the price of God-given metal has always been very amazing. It can be said that it has a price but no market. In the most exaggerated war years, the price of one gram of God-given metal was even speculated to 30,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to the total tax revenue of a small city with thousands of people in a year. Even now, the price of God-given metal has become more rational, and the price of one gram has fluctuated up and down 5,000 gold coins. This is already a huge sum of money. Many civilians in remote areas have worked hard all their lives and their total income cannot reach 5,000 gold coins.

Of course, this is the price of the God-given metal. If it is its predecessor, the price will drop sharply. Basically, the price of one gram of curse metal is only three or four hundred gold coins. The price is lower than that of the God-given metal, but as long as the amount is found, such as finding dozens or even hundreds of grams, everyone can enjoy the joy of swimming among piles of gold coins.

"I still can't believe it. Curse Metal. It's been more than a hundred years. I dreamed of having a God's metal alloy axe." Mobak's excitement was not just for money, or in other words, everyone present was not just for money income. For combat professionals, strange things that can greatly improve their combat effectiveness are willing to buy them even if they spend all their money to buy them, let alone the harvest that comes out of thin air.

The seven people looked at each other and could see the excitement in each other. Even the elf mage who had always been indifferent and alienated, his hand holding the staff was trembling slightly, and the tendons on the back of his hand were protruding, which obviously took a lot of effort.

"You can see if it's a curse metal?" Shuer took several deep breaths in succession to adjust his mood and tried to remain calm. "The focus of the task is shifted. Now everything is focused on exploring this building. If you really find the curse metal, even if you can't restore the energy supply, even if you touch the darkness and go straight to the exit and leave the projection world, we won't lose money. No one has any objection to this?"

Of course not, who would be unable to get along with gold coins?

"But, everyone, if you want to find the curse metal alive, calm me down, otherwise, your epitaph will probably be written on it that you died of greed for money."

"Mobak, Militi, don't go anywhere, just guard the door. Except for us, you can't let go of anything that can move."

"learn."

"Moriya, you and Macajren are in the same team. You two are fast. You circle around the lead alloy building and look around it. There should be some kind of annex. Creatures like curse metal must not be exposed directly to them. If the frogman really stores some, they will definitely have clothes that can protect the curse. They will be replaced every time they enter. You two try to find it. By the way, patrol it here and confirm that there is no enemy."

"Understood."

"Saf, you have the best listening skills, so the task is the heaviest. You are with Mobak and the others, but the task is to connect the links, always listening to the situation of the other two groups. If there is a problem, you three will immediately give up guarding the gate and go to support."

"Yes." The shy swordsman is very satisfied with this task that does not require communication with others.

"Mia, let's go in and explore the road first."

When there is no protective clothing, Shur and Mia are the best candidates for the path to explore. The priest's protective curse barrier and the elemental mage's energy reflection shield can just control the influence of the curse metal. They both go in. Although the consumption is a little bit greater, they will not go in and die like others.

As soon as they entered the door, the two of them discovered that they might have found the right place this time, not cursing metal, but energy supply equipment.

Unlike other buildings, there is light inside. Although the light is very weak, and the red, green, orange and colorful, it is the first time that it has seen an artificial light source in this city, which means the normal supply of energy.

Light up the surroundings with magic. First, there is a small room closed with lead alloy. There are several transparent wardrobes on one side of the wall, and there are several strange-shaped white clothes. On the other side are several separate rooms. There are lotus showers on the roof, which should be used for cleaning for staff.

"These are the clothes you are looking for." Mia pointed to the white clothes.

"Probably, don't care about it for now and go in and see the situation." The two are very close, and the two protective measures can ensure their safety.

When you walk through the locker room, you can see the two passages crossing, dividing the entire building into four parts. There are some unused equipment on both sides of the passage, with various prompt lights flashing on it.

“Where is the end point of the energy channel of the backup line?”

"The one on the front right."

"The energy pipeline should have passed through a certain room before it was transported out."

"Yes, this is the one on the right."

"Haha, it seems I've found it."

"I think so too." Mia nodded coldly, pointing to the three positions on the right front, right and left front in turn, "Supply energy supply equipment, energy storage and distribution equipment, and the largest area, mainly energy supply equipment. But the one on the left..."

"It is probably a warehouse that specializes in storming metals." Shur pondered, "Dear Teacher Mia, I..."

"You better not tease me. The mountain elves are not that resistant to teasing. I told you two years ago." Mia said expressionlessly, "What do you want to ask? You are much higher in the team than me, at the knowledge level..."

"Okay, actually I want to ask, have you heard of using cursed metal to provide energy?" Shuer smiled bitterly, "Although I was so sure what I said outside, I regretted it as soon as I said it. After all, I have never heard of cursed metal that can be used for energy. If it is just a specialty similar to cursed metal in this world, everyone will be happy."

"I don't have it either, but you'll know it just look." Mia was stunned for a moment, "You can't be nervous, right?"

"How is that possible, haha, it's just tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gold coins. I have anything to worry about, haha, okay, I admit, I'm a little nervous." Shuer sighed, and suddenly opened the door of the room on the left that was regarded as the warehouse without any warning.

Open the door and close it immediately.

There is no need to go in and take a closer look. As soon as you open the door, you will feel a strong curse energy coming towards you. If it weren't for the protection of the two of you, you would be seriously affected in a few seconds.
