Chapter 663 Blushing and Heartbeat
"Capacitor? What capacitor...?"
Lorraine muttered to himself, "So this thing is a capacitor. No wonder it's leaking electricity."
He looked puzzled... then raised his hand and pointed ahead.
"Huh? What place is that?"
Seeing Lorraine's clumsy acting, the goblin girl pouted, frowned, and patiently pointed ahead, giving a brief introduction, "This is the members' exclusive service area. Members can't just wander around; you need to follow me... and you can't be careless with dangerous items, like... capacitors!"
"That's it..."
Lorraine turned her head and looked in another direction...
......
The other party extended an olive branch to Lorraine, demanding that it hand over its hidden spoils of war.
Miss Screw demanded the core module of the Triangle Head Combat Magic-Powered Mech Prototype. Lorraine instinctively feigned ignorance, changing the subject. He felt his face burning, though it was already deathly pale...
This guy always feels awkward when he lies... he's nothing like his teacher, Rowling.
They had entered the second level and were standing on the platform above the ecological botanical garden.
After Lorraine followed the goblin guide out of the Crystal Corridor, the tunnel behind him suddenly snapped shut like a spring, and the way back vanished instantly.
Through the purple barrier membrane, Lorraine could indeed see the new corridor drifting in from the void... like the magazine of a revolver automatically approaching from afar, stopping behind Lorraine and Ross.
A few seconds later, the hatch locked, with at least ten layers of security added to it.
The familiar lighting filled the scanning corridor, and the disinfection process in the hallway was indeed running automatically... proving that the goblin girl hadn't lied to Lorraine. Was this goblin staff member a sincere messenger?
Lorraine remained skeptical...
......
A distinctive purple barrier separated the inner and outer areas.
Finally, we stepped into the legendary underground city's inner field, inside the so-called giant mechanical giant's belly... inside it lies an independent ecological experimental field.
Following the goblin's description, I saw some familiar flags and symbols at the entrances to different areas, the most prominent of which were the Horde's blood guillotine and the Alliance's lion's head.
Next came the Night Elf sigil, bear head emblem, antlers and battleaxe... wolf heads and shields—unrecognizable symbols lined up. In each camp, people thronged, all busy at work.
Only a few guards stood watch at the boundaries and gates of each area.
Keep out of the way... The guard's weapon blade gleamed with a dazzling golden light.
There were numerous similar camps of varying sizes, comprising dozens of different factions. This was larger than the survey team mentioned by Kaz and the Staghelm siblings, as well as the Tauren Druid Red Mist Venerable.
These places clearly belonged to different organizations, and didn't seem like the work of goblins; they were more like a regular military camp. Lorraine had forgotten that this was the infamous underground black market... or rather, a high-class black market resembling a private club.
Without a certain reputation or strength, one is not qualified to enter the inner area of the underground city, let alone have an exclusive residence.
The black market involves both buying and selling, unlike the main market which only has showrooms and vending machines. There are consignment centers of varying levels, and valuable items are often auctioned off anonymously.
......
I stood on tiptoe and looked carefully.
The familiar half-face of the Banshee, the emblem of the Forsaken, also appeared in the right corner near a tomb-like structure. The Queen's followers also had a base here, which surprised Lorraine.
It seems there's a high chance I know someone here.
At least there will be no shortage of people of the same clan...
Could Lilith be there?
He pretended not to understand Miss Rose's request, looking around as if searching for what he was looking for...
At first glance, Lorraine seemed to have misjudged something; the place in the distance bearing the insignia of the Dark Queen's mask wasn't simply a tomb, but more like the entrance to a dilapidated train station...
Railway tracks extend deep into the tomb entrance, and in the distance, tracks faintly extend to unseen heights, as if reaching the top of the second level of the underground city.
Through the cracks in the dilapidated building, the station's indicator lights could be faintly seen flashing. A uniquely shaped skull train was parked among them, seemingly loading and unloading various supplies...
This train was the terrifying, automatically operating train on the outskirts of the underground city, and Lorraine remembered it vividly.
Lorraine has no eyes, but his eyesight is excellent. With the help of the Mirror of Truth, nothing escapes his notice.
That train station must have been one of his destinations.
The important thing now is not to foolishly rush into this strange and potentially extremely dangerous second-level ecological botanical garden to find Lilith's whereabouts.
......
There are some things and thorny issues that need to be clarified and explained... The goblin girl's eyes clearly said, "You little brat, don't even think about cheating or getting away with this..." If he didn't hand over the item, she would just stand there and stare at him.
Lorraine could only bite the bullet and ask:
"Oh, by the way, how did you know who I am?"
"The Star Realm Consortium is going to fund my business?"
"Security or collateral? I don't understand."
......
"This... capacitor, sir..."
......
"To be honest, I don't even know who I am. Haha, I don't know why an nobody like me would be chosen by the legendary and mysterious Astral Consortium. My career? Apart from avenging the Queen and the Forsaken, what career is worth sacrificing for?"
"I don't understand...you've mistaken me for someone else."
"Besides, if I remember correctly, this is venture capital firm territory, right? What does it have to do with the Star Realm Consortium? Isn't this the venture capital firm's black market?"
What exactly does the Astral Consortium do?
......
“Mr. Lorraine, the capacitor is dangerous! The core of the magic capacitor is the property of the group. Please do not take it out of the inner ecological zone. I am only warning you once.”
"Oh, you beautiful goblin girl, am I not the VIP you just mentioned? You haven't answered my question yet!"
“Mr. Lorraine! Even if you say that, I must follow company regulations for your safety. Please hand over the capacitor; it is indeed very dangerous.”
"I don't know what you're talking about... Could you please tell me more about what kind of company you are?"
......
Erica, Covent, and Ross insisted that Lorraine hand over a fragment of a Pyramid Head that he had been hiding, but Lorraine pretended not to understand what they were saying and changed the subject.
Lorraine began his own clumsy performance.
It's obvious they want to keep the treasure they found for themselves.
Little Lorraine has gone astray.
He remained completely calm and composed; he was simply waiting.
Just waiting for the opponent to lose their temper, just waiting for my underlings to recover quickly, just waiting for my treasures to cool down... I'm going to challenge the opponent's bottom line.
He was testing the other party's true attitude. This girl had almost killed him just now, and her current change in attitude was not normal at all. Who knew if what this guy was saying was true or false? He hadn't forgotten who had activated that deadly mechanism.
“Beautiful Miss Rose, I have not seen any of the capacitors you mentioned. As you can see, I am merely collecting their remains for my companions. I cannot leave my companions here, whether out of emotion or feeling.”
"You won't believe me, just wait and see..."
