Chapter 35, Sustainable Resources

The territory of Earl Lanny.

The headquarters of the Gondor branch of the Artisan Alliance.

There was only a loud "bang".

The blast furnace that was forging exploded again.

Since yesterday, all the forging furnaces in the entire branch have exploded uncontrollably.

This situation almost made the branch leader of the Artisan Alliance explode.

"Impossible!"

"The blast furnace has been running for so many years, how could it explode casually."

"Go check it for me, and you must find out the results."

The furious branch leader Zhao Yu roared.

Because just now.

The corpse of the Shadow Wolf that was hard to obtain was also destroyed in the blast furnace explosion.

This is an orange-level material.

Moreover, the explosion also injured the high-level heroes he recruited.

This is unbearable for Zhao Yu.

And not long after he issued the order for a thorough investigation.

Wei Xu, the deputy leader, walked in.

"Alliance leader."

"I just asked an astrologer to do divination."

"According to the results of the divination, you are cursed."

"And it is a very powerful curse. The explosions of blast furnaces in our alliance are all related to this."

Hearing this.

Zhao Yu felt a nameless anger "teng" up.

"Curse!"

"Who, which vicious beast cursed me."

You should know that the most feared thing for these forging lords is the curse.

Once it is hit, even a very small mistake during forging will turn the materials they have collected with great effort into a pile of ash.

Therefore, many lords of the Artisan Alliance carry amulets.

Specially used to protect against curses.

But Zhao Yu was cursed this time but the amulet did not trigger.

This made him both afraid and angry.

What he feared was that his amulet could not block the curse.

What made him angry was that the other party actually cursed him.

In the following time, if the curse is not dispelled.

Then he will not be able to forge.

And the leader of a craftsman alliance cannot forge equipment.

Then he is no different from a waste.

At that time, the leader of this branch alliance will not be able to sit firmly.

Wei Xu, who was standing by, heard Zhao Yu's voice with a little fear in his anger.

As he had coveted the position of leader for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little happy at this time.

At the same time, he was secretly glad.

Fortunately, he was not the one who was hit.

The person who cursed this time was very powerful.

His astrologer couldn't find the opponent's trace.

So in response to Zhao Yu's questioning, he could only bow and say: "Leader, I can't find it, and I can't tell the type of this curse."

"My astrologer told me that the opponent's strength is far greater than his."

"He can't dispel this curse either."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu felt a chill in his heart.

He knew Wei Xu's astrologer.

This is a rare purple unit, and ordinary curses can be found and dispelled.

In addition, he has a rare orange weapon in his hand.

Even orange-level curses can be dispelled.

But now there is no way to dispel the curse on me.

What does this mean!

It means that the curse on me is probably an orange rare unit.

Or even a higher gold!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu trembled.

"What high-level lord have we offended recently?"

Zhao Yu asked tremblingly.

Wei Xu on the side shook his head after pondering for a moment.

"Although we sell some low-level equipment, the things are good, and the price is just a little more expensive at most."

"If customers come to us, we will make up some of the difference if the other party has a background. Basically, we have never offended any high-level lord."

"Besides, we sell things through the lords who specialize in distribution below."

"Our Artisan Alliance does not participate, even if there is trouble, it will not come to us."

"As for customized equipment, we have never cut corners, and we will not and dare not offend those high-level lords."

After saying that, he paused and said.

"If I say I offended someone, it was a low-level lord yesterday."

"I offered a bounty to that person named Fang Yuan."

"But he is at most a second-level lord."

"How could he use such a powerful curse?"

"Even my astrologer can't expel it."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu nodded silently.

He didn't believe that the low-level lord named Fang Yuan could curse him.

It's not him!

Then who is it?

Zhao Yu couldn't think of which god he had offended.

Just when he was in despair.

Wei Xu said.

"Alliance leader, why don't you use the astrology stone."

"Try and see if we can find the other party and find out the reason!"

"If we did something wrong, we will compensate him."

When Zhao Yu heard about the astrological stone, his heart trembled.

The main function of this thing is to predict the future.

One is worth tens of millions of gold coins.

Even if he is as rich as him, using one at a time is bleeding.

We have to grit our teeth and live from now on.

"Is there really no other way?"

Wei Xu shook his head.

"Alliance leader, tens of millions of gold coins are a lot, but if you can't continue forging, the loss is~"

Hearing this unfinished words, Zhao Yu finally gritted his teeth.

"You are right!"

"Tens of millions of gold coins are painful."

"But if this curse cannot be dispelled, the loss is not money."

"You can earn more gold coins if you lose them, but if you can't forge."

"I am no different from a dead person in the battlefield of all realms."

He took a deep breath and opened the internal alliance channel of the Artisan Alliance.

I bought an astrological stone with the authority of the sub-alliance leader.

The purchase of the alliance will be known to other sub-alliance leaders.

Suddenly, people in the sub-alliance channel of the Artisan Alliance began to shout in surprise.

"Fuck, Zhao Yu, you are so rich that you actually bought astrological stones. Are you preparing to start a wasteland war?"

"6666, how long has Zhao Yu been a sub-alliance leader and he has started a wasteland war."

"Tens of millions of gold coins, Brother Yu, you are so rich."

"No, the Kingdom of Gondor is in the midst of the undead disaster. Are you starting a wasteland war at this time because you think you are not dying fast enough?"

"Hehe, top secret information, several blast furnaces in the Gondor branch exploded, probably because they offended the big guys."

"Wow, that makes sense."

"I was wondering why Zhao Yu, a stingy guy, was willing to spend money to buy astrological stones. It turns out that he offended someone he shouldn't have offended."

"You deserve it!"

Looking at the news mocking him, Zhao Yu took a deep breath.

He gritted his teeth.

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, just wait~"

Then he closed the chat channel directly.

Take out the astrology stone and hand it to Wei Xu.

"The future of our Gondor branch depends on you."

Wei Xu took the stone and nodded. Now they are united against the outside world.

He didn't dare to make any small moves, in case the other party was not only targeting Zhao Yu.

If he killed him, he would definitely be the next one.

Wei Xu was not a fool. He knew when to fight and when to unite against the outside world.

Soon, Wei Xu handed the astrology stone to his astrologer hero.

With the injection of astrology magic energy.

Soon!

The curse on Zhao Yu began to appear.

After a moment, the astrologer suddenly opened his eyes.

"Found it!"

"Lord, please use the power of the curse to talk to him now."

Zhao Yu's expression was complicated when he heard the voice. He wanted to strangle the other party to death.

But thinking about his own future.

Zhao Yu took a deep breath.

Then he said to the air.

"Boss, I am Zhao Yu from the Gondor branch of the Artisan Alliance."

"I don't know where I have offended you, so you cast a curse on me."

"Can you please give me a chance and let me go?"

"Boss, please let me know if you need anything."

"I, Zhao Yu, will do it for you even if I lose everything."

"I just ask you to lift the curse!"

After saying that, Zhao Yu began to wait quietly.

Waiting for the other party's reply.

At the same time.

In the Lord's Hall of the Wasteland Territory.

Fang Yuan listened to Zhao Yu's voice coming from the earthbound spirit.

A hint of excitement appeared on his face.

"There is such a good thing!"

"This is just a big fat sheep coming to the door!"

"The initiative is completely in my hands."

"You can do whatever you want."

But Fang Yuan soon calmed down again.

"No, if the request is too much, the other party might turn the table over."

"It is better to do it in small amounts and multiple times, step by step to cross his bottom line."

"In the end, as the sunk cost of investment increases, you will be firmly controlled by yourself."

"This kind of revenge by exploitation is not as worthwhile as killing the other party with a knife, and the satisfaction of revenge is worth it!"

For this kind of person, a word suddenly popped up in Fang Yuan's mind.
