Chapter 136 - Weapon Facility
After pressing on certain symbols Harman's sky watch showed a timer running down. There was only 1 minute and 21 seconds left on it . Harman pressed on it one more time to stop it and gave an embarrassed smile towards Dror who was still observing him through his spiritual sense.
He spoke with a slight cough
" Ahem.. ahem .. I have this habit of setting a timer when I go on chasing some criminals,
My skywatch is synchronized to another equipment my skywatch is damaged or it lose its signal the timer will start running out and if the timer is not reset before completely running out, a message revealing my last known location along with a SOS signal would be send from the synchronized equipment to certain people.
There is nothing to worry, I have already reset it..
"
Dror gave an emotionless look towards the other guy and then he could only give a sigh and curse in his head
" yeah , yeah …reset my ass, it was only left with around 1 minute before running out, I should stay away from this cunning guy..
"
Harman showed a wronged face implying ' this is only my standard working procedure'.
After departing Dror went back to the town to return the hower vehicle and went on with his journey to the ancient civilization structure.
On his way he thought
" I should buy one of those cool hover vehicles then I can rest all the way in my journey, after getting to drive it some time I have finally got the gist of it.
It is much smoother than driving a car and even the cheapest one can go from a speed of 0 to 100 in 1 second.
I liked that old American muscle car model, but it is pricey…
"
While thinking all kinds of things Dror reached a valley inside a jungle and as he further went inside, he discovered more and more wild beasts roaming around, but Dror was too fast for any of them to attack him.
Finally he stopped at a mountain slope and spread his spiritual sense through the earth searching the whole area.
Finally after around half an hour of searching he discovered parts of a building that was buried deep under the ground. The entrance to the facility had also got buried under the ground he had to dig through to reach it.
The entrance was a metal door which was very hard to go through even without any security measures, he found one of the weaker walls to break through.
Clearly the air inside was not breathable anymore, someone in warrior level might find this difficult but this didn't affect him much as he was already a True warrior who could absorb energy from the surroundings to maintain his bodily functions.
He found many skeletons of the people from the ancient civilization and as he went further in he understood that this was some secret weapon manufacturing facility of one of the old governments of the ancient civilization.
The ancient civilization had three nations ruling over the entire planet Ayangdad, before the catastrophe struck them and they each had their own army and weapons development departments, But most of these military facilities and weapon development departments were closely guarded secrets of the nation, Dror was lucky to find one of these secret bases.
The few facilities that Dror had handed over to the rebel army were the minor ones mostly used as minor warehouses, but the facility that he was visiting now was a full fledged weapon research department.
Earlier he had thought of exploring this specific facility after further studies and preparation, but now with him gaining the death impartation related to the artifact master from Earnest, he was much more confident and itching to try out his skills.
After exploring for around three hours he had a general understanding of the entire facility, this was mainly a plasma gun and laser cannon development facility.
At first Dror was very sad about the fact that this one was a facility focused on modern and technological weapons , rather than old school magical artifact forging facility.
But the further he studied he knew it was not that simple, the cannons and guns they created were a combination of magical artifact and technology, which was a common thing.
But this also meant that the facility had a specific department which forged magical artifact parts for the weapons.
He soon found the area, it was much smaller compared to the technological research area, but according to his analysis few artifact masters worked here and their leader was probably someone in 3rd level.
Dror was blooming with a smile after finding the person's space ring and his own personal smithy.
The personal smithy of an artifact master was a holy place for the artifact master, The specific equipment to draw magical runes were all high grade magical artifacts on their own and the forge itself was nothing less than a magical cauldron for the alchemist.
But unlike a cauldron a forge was many times bigger and should be able to produce heat and fire that was thousands of times stronger than a cauldron.
A magical forge was created with magical fire from the most fierce regions of the start system sealed inside it with runes and formations.
It is said that apex level Artifact masters have small stars sealed inside their forge, Such forges were nothing less than heaven grade or above weapon in itself.
Then there was all kinds of other related equipment's like hammers,
chisels, sets, hardy, tongs, drifts and so on.
But a Artifact master who has reached the first level , will not use such equipment from outside but they have techniques to form those equipment with their own warrior energy, it was nothing less than a battle technique of a warrior, Some artifact master even use their own special flame as the forge itself, but this only possible for very high level artifact master who could also completely control the specific flame.
The Artifact master has to continuously practice the methods to become better at their craft and of course like battle techniques you need higher level techniques to create better equipment and handle higher grade material.
The artifact master technique that Dror currently possessed from Earnets could support him to become a 3rd level artifact master at best and along with Earnest's experience from the death impartation it won't be long before he would be a 2nd level Artifact master himself.
Dror couldn't hide his gleeful smile after going through the artifact masters space ring he was happy to find all kinds of material, a high grade forge and weapon blueprints.
But he was also a little sad to find that there were high grade artifact master techniques that could help him reach up to a 5th level artifact master, but the technique jade was useless without the seed mantra.
Dror was completely satisfied with this exploration as the facility as a whole with the amount of raw material, the equipment , production line and the weapon blueprints if sold could bring in enough money for him to buy a town.
Of course he could not just sell it and would have to hand it to the rebel base to gain lots of perks and resources, but at the same time he would already empty the most valuable resources here for his own.
Dror had found three more space rings from the skeletons of people who seemed to be the highest official, the highest technological side artifact master and a third skeleton who wore a certain luxurious dress that was probably of very higher grade which has not been completely degraded with the passage of time.
This person's space ring was also of higher grade and required much more force and time to break through, so Dror didn't push it for now and put it aside.
Dror didn't wait any longer and returned to the Earth base after covering up the tunnel he had dug out.
It took him 5 days to complete the entire journey and when he returned, he was more than happy to find Levi who had completely recovered standing at the entrance of his residence with a smile on his handsome face.
Dror could see that Levi has returned to his former cheerful play boy style, but at the same time there was also a dangerous coldness hidden away in the deepest part of his eyes which could not be easily detected.
After going through what he has gone through it would be weird if he didn't retain that bit of coldness.
After receiving the news of Dror, Old Zhao and his comrades also came by to express their heartfelt thanks.
All of them had completely recovered, of course it would take them more time to get used to their regrown body parts especially for Old Zhao and his colleagues who had been handicapped for a long time.
Chow and Mark were also present, the only person that was not present was Xander who was still in his deep meditation. After all a 5th level pill was not something easily digested, more importantly it contained a very potent energy if used more properly not only could Xander gain back his whole cultivation base of peak level True warrior he would also be able to take a step into the supreme warrior realm.
