Chapter 667: Public Weapons for Private Use
"Wait, Captain! Don't shoot, no, don't use the pincers..."
"You just said that bail for intruders will be determined based on the severity of their crime, so that means bail is possible? How much would you set for a suspect like him? I'll cover it. Honestly, he's very important to me and the group! Very important...he's not just any ordinary suspect!"
"I have a letter from Mr. Katz here. You'd better read it before making a decision, lest you regret it later!"
Erica, Covent, and Ross had a sudden inspiration and pulled out their cousin's letter. The contents of the letter were not important; what mattered was the Covent family crest and the signatures and seals of Katz's personal guards.
Upon hearing Kaz's name, the goblin guard captain of the security team at the underground city's inner city venture capital firm was already somewhat polite. He took the letter, glanced at it quickly, and what he saw was:
......
"To Miss Rose, the star of the family..."
"Hey girl, come to me. I'll give you a position as assistant supervisor or chief engineer. People from the Covent family are always elites..."
"Work in Ratchet isn't fun. Come to me, I'll take you treasure hunting... Let's open the bone pile at the Storm Altar, there are amazing treasures inside..."
“Go catch a troll to play with… They’re different from the savage Gurubashi breed; these are much more valuable. I plan to send them to the clan’s humanoid zoo. The clan will definitely remember this, and I’ll count you in too. As long as you get to the Undercity, Erica… I’ll take care of everything…”
"Written by Kaz & Covent, the number one genius communications master of the Covent family, the venture capital firm of Azeroth, and the Eye of Diamond..."
......
After quickly reading the secret letter, the goblin captain's expression changed three times, his green face turning even greener, his eyes darting around, and he subtly blinked his thick, sharp, hawk-like eyelids...
Lorraine, lying on the ground with her buttocks sticking out, glanced back and forth between Miss Rose and him...
In Lorraine, goblins all looked pretty much the same. This armed guard captain, with sharper teeth and less pointed fangs than the average goblin, did have more ornate armor.
This guy is also very small, and he's holding a short gun similar to the one in the Katz, which means he's not an ordinary thug or soldier.
At the venture capital firm, he was a senior employee, at least a manager. Facing Ross, a temporary worker, he actually bowed and scraped, revealing a lewd goblin smile, "Employee Ross, no, esteemed Miss Erica, please give my regards to Supervisor Katz."
"Lord Kaz is away on official business. We are doing our duty and have to be on high alert to protect the underground city. Please forgive us, Miss Erica."
"As for the Forsaken suspect... the contaminant he possesses poses a very high threat level, and his bail may be over 5000 gold..."
"5000?"
"No, no, its hands have different sources of contamination, and I think there's a deposit of at least 10,000 gold coins. Given your reputation and family honor, I can offer a 20% discount!"
......
"A 20% discount? You decide the price of gold?"
"Of course...of course not! This is system pricing. I merely made a reasonable assessment of its level of danger and acted in accordance with the law...The underground city has strict laws. This is a system construction that our company has repeatedly emphasized needs to implement before listing. Everything is traceable..."
Two goblins were haggling over a price. The person in question lay prone on the metal floor, and all they could hear were the sounds of stock market traders bidding and auctioning overhead.
......
"Hey, could you take those things away? They're hurting me... Sister Ross!"
Huge pincers had secured Lorraine's arms at both ends, and two small, unidentifiable covers were placed over her hands.
The two giant steam-powered pincers, operated by three goblin guards respectively, had already made contact with Lorraine's arm.
Logically, given Lorraine's small size, it should have experienced the inconvenience and embarrassment of losing its hands. Strangely, the giant, steam-pressurized pincers, pressed against its shoulders, couldn't be pressed down any further...
With fire in one hand and ice in the other, the originally cool special effects were emitted by two death knight minions the size of figurines.
They seemed to have not only fused with the energy of the capacitor, but the two strange creatures that could have merged originally seemed to have automatically grown onto Lorraine's body.
They became living armor.
To put it simply, I don't know if you've seen Guyver or Armor Hero, but I certainly haven't. However, it sensed something similar, and even acted on its own impulses.
Bones, muscles, congealed blood, the energy field of the capacitor core, connecting with the original necromantic power of Lorraine, the undead body has an additional shell.
The entire process accelerated rapidly under the pressure of the giant steam pincers, and Lorraine was now clad in a stylish suit of armor, essentially two arm guards.
The arm armor automatically protects the owner...
"8888P, that's the most I can do!"
"Countdown 9999, may it last forever, so we can come again..."
"Hmph, deal. Release them now...release them first..."
......
"Okay, Miss Erica, don't worry, we will safely deliver your goods to the second exit... Hmm, everything is in accordance with company regulations... Someone, quick, remove the net and let the person out. I've earned some wages for the brothers again, thank you boss."
"The Forsaken are normally required to wear protective suits within the inner city, but I've waived that requirement out of respect for Lord Kaz. Miss Erica, you see, we are all reasonable people; everything is negotiable..."
......
"Why are your men still using steam tongs? Those things are dangerous and can cut through cannon barrels! Stop right now, if even a single hair is missing, I'll deduct 1000 gold from your pay."
"No, no, no... Yes, guards, what are you doing? Release him! You dare disobey my orders? Don't you have any duties to perform normally?!"
The captain was furious. The goblin soldiers looked embarrassed, shaking their heads and straining harder, their sweat soaking their armbands. But the giant pincers wouldn't budge...
Four goblins guarded one side, and together they pulled—meaning all eight guards on both sides were trying to remove the giant clamp. More guards were being added after the captain of the guards gave the order...
10 people, 12 people, 16 people...
A bunch of little goblins are trying their best to relieve the pressure on the prisoners.
Despite my best efforts, it was all in vain.
......
"Report! We can't remove the pliers and net; it seems to be stuck to something."
"what?"
"I don't know what it is..."
"What? What are you? Can't you understand the officer's orders?"
“Report, I’m not a coward, I’m Guard 007. We heard all the orders you made without our consent for 9999 gold coins… We strictly followed your orders for your share of 3 gold coins each… Brothers, thank you for the captain’s generosity.”
"Shut up, you stupid 007! Your 3 gold coin bonus is gone. Before I lose my temper, release that damned undead..."
"Report... The undead refuses to come out. Its electromagnetic waves have attracted the pincers, and now the bigger problem is that the electromagnetic waves are intensifying, and everyone is being attracted. Look, watch out... where did that iron pot come from...?"
While the goblin captain and Miss Rose were still stunned, a strong suction force was indeed emanating from Lorraine, and all the metal tools on their bodies seemed to be stirring...
This suction force, like Magneto's, or perhaps a black hole, was bizarre. In the instant Lorraine was completely bewildered, he was covered in fragments of bottles, tubes, parts, and scrap metal...
