Chapter 1184

(Unedited)

…

Two days later… a large convoy came out of the misty forest and behind the convoy are two 4-meters tall Mechas. They are walking behind the convoy and two pilots inside are looking a bit bored as they follow the slow marching pace.

In fact, if these two pilots wanted it, they could run back to the stronghold using the two mechas which would be faster and more fun.

Although the energy consumption of Ki would be great, it would still be more efficient than following the long convoy. However, they could not do such a thing as they are part of the escort.

"Hey… Do you think the smithing masters and the runemasters could figure out how this thing works?" one of the trained pilots inside a Mecha asked using the communication rune in the Mecha.

"I don't know… I just hope that they could. These things are awesome… If we have ten of these, then our kingdom would be unbeatable… Hahaha…"

"You're thinking too much… There are still powerful individuals like those that have reached the Ki Adept and Ki Master realms…"

"Ah… you're right… But according to that small guy, these things could withstand even a beating of a 15th level Ki adept…"

"Haha… Beating, yes… But you cannot fight back…"

"Hahaha…"

The two talked to each other as they followed the convoy to prevent themselves from getting bored.

The communication rune on the Mecha is one of the gifts that Xin Ja wanted to give to the military, he did not know if he could come back and return home. But while the war is happening, he would not stupidly go back. He has already lost his faith in the leaders of the military. As a cautious youth, he would not stupidly follow anything unless he is sure of the consequence.

With his weak power, he would be playing in their hands… that he knew.

That night before Yao Mai Lin left with the convoy, she tried to once again convince him to return. However, Xin Ja is already decided… he would not come back and just continue to develop the Mecha in the misty village. He also wanted to improve his gear. With his weak power, he could only rely on his gears to augment his weaknesses.

But there is a weapon that he has not revealed yet in this world and even his uncle, Xin Han, also advised him not to reveal the weapon at this time.

If the Ki buster appears in this world, then there would be a more chaotic result that he did not want to happen.

And so, the compressed air weapon is enough for now.

However, Xin Ja has already found that a compressed air weapon is already powerful enough that when used by powerful beings would have the same power as that of a Ki buster. The only difference is the noise they make. Ki Buster, although stronger and has more range, is loud. Meanwhile, the compressed air weapon is more silent and only has that muffled sound.

Xin Ja once again spends his time in his workshop perfecting the Mecha one step at a time.

…

Meanwhile, the news that Ra Gaofang has disappeared in the Misty village reached the Silver Glade merchant Company. They also learned of the new weapon that the kingdom of Jimal is developing and it seems that it came from the misty village.

In the town just outside one of the fortresses, there is a two-story house that seems to belong to a rich noble.

This house is secretly under the name of the Silver Glade Merchant Company.

In a large room of the house a group of people, wearing exquisite robes worn by noble houses, are gathered together.

"We have received the news that the convoy is returning and they are carrying two of those metal golems that the enemy kingdom feared." A thin man said with a glint of slyness in his eyes.

"Should we make a move against the convoy? Hehe… It would be easy taking for us…" another one suggested.

"Yes, if we get our hands on those things they are calling Mecha, and then we can have a chance to make a deal with the military… that would mean more money for us… Hahaha…"

The group showed excited expressions on their faces as if they can already get their hands on the item they wanted.

Amongst them is a tall middle-aged man which looks at everyone with despise.

"Ahem… I think you all have forgotten that this thing was made by an enemy of our merchant company… That little fellow that Elder Ra is hunting…" the tall middle-aged man sitting straight on his seat in a dignified manner.

"Haha… Ra Gaofeng that fool! He used our resources just to hunt the killer of his profligate son… What a waste! I think he is already dead in that place…"

"Why did you say so?"

"As if you did not know what kind of person he is. If he has found that boy and killed him, then he would have already come back… He wanted revenge and what better way to do it than to kill the son of the killer…"

"Hmm… You are right…"

"Let's forget about that fool… Let's just divide amongst ourselves his things. Let his family settle down in his state, but the rest would be ours… Hehe…"

No one said anything with this suggestion as they all agreed to such a proposal.

"Then what should we do about the Mechas? How can we get our hands on one?"

The room turned silent.

Inside this room, there are ten people. The one with the highest cultivation level is a 13th level Ki adept just like Ra Gaofeng. He is the current leader of the branch of Silver Glade on the southern border, the 5th fortress.

Beside him are the other elders assigned to this territory. But after this meeting, they would all return to their own assigned town fortresses.

And so after planning for a bit on how they could get their hands on the Mecha technology, they all went back to their own territories.

In the mansion, there is a big bedroom. After the meeting, the Elder assigned to this branch walks towards the bed while taking off his robe.

This Elder of the Silver Glade merchant company is named, Lin Rongxian. He is a 13th level Ki Adept and the 8th elder of the Silver Glade Company.

He was sent here as a temporary head of the branch to ensure that Ra Goafang did not cause more trouble than he already is causing.

The 6th prince is very concerned about this matter that he explicitly instructed him to clean up the mess if there ever would be.

But it seems that he did not have to clean anything.

"Hmm… The plan to attack the village and steal a prototype is the most feasible solution to this problem… Who cares what happens to that village… As long as we can infiltrate it, even if we kill everyone inside of it, it is worth it… Hehe…" Lin Rongxian said with an evil smile on his face.

Ever since becoming one of the elders of the Silver Glade Merchant Company, he had been at odds with Ra Goafang. But now that the latter has not returned, he would now gain an upper hand and gain more. And if he gets his hands on a Mecha or even its blueprint, then he would gain far too much than he could ever imagine.

He had seen what those powerful metal golems could do. And he could already tell the business potential of such a product. He could even sell it to the other kingdoms, that way he could get more money. And if there would be a war someday, then they would surely need to create more and destroy more.

Upon thinking to his point, Lin Rongxian could not help but show a smile on his face.

"Haha… That brat of the Xin is really something else. If there was no enmity between the Silver Glade and him, I don't mind taking him under my wings… Hehe…" he muttered.

"But there is no if… He can just blame himself for carrying gold while being a pauper… Hehe…"

He then looks at his side.

"Approve the deployment of three level 10 Ki fighters…" he said while showing a sinister glint in his eyes.

10th level Ki fighters are already enough to infiltrate that village. With the use of the gas mask, they could enter that misty forest without a problem.

…

Meanwhile, Xin Ja at this time decided to further advance his research in the Mechas. But to do that, he needed a more secure place to do the research and development. Although the village is covered in mist and is protected, he knew that those powerful beings could still infiltrate the place.

So he decided to change something in the defense of the village. Only when the village is safe… that he could continue his research.. And then further the development of the Mecha and his gears.
