#668 - Chapter 668 Unexpected Enemy
“Alright, I've made my choices.”
Finally, after agonizing for quite some time, Wu Wei ultimately selected the two artifacts he desired.
One of them was the Dano Bone Shield, which could provide significant damage reduction. With this shield, Wu Wei's tactics would become more diverse.
The other was an ancient robot capable of replicating any mechanical creation.
This robot was shaped somewhat like a soccer ball with a small workshop inside.
However, this artifact robot had a very useful ability.
That is, as long as it was provided with enough resource points, it could completely replicate any mechanical creation using the small workshop within its body.
Remember, it could replicate *any* mechanical creation.
Whether it was a powerful future firearm or an ancient mechanical device whose craftsmanship had been lost, it could perfectly replicate it.
However, the robot's manufacturing speed was limited.
The larger and more complex the machine, the longer it would take to replicate.
Wu Wei chose to rent this artifact entirely because he intended to use it to replicate a new Kerrigan!
In the previous wars, the Kerrigan, this giant combat satellite, had opened up countless opportunities for Wu Wei.
Therefore, Wu Wei intended to acquire another one.
Of course, because the Kerrigan was so massive.
It would take this artifact robot at least two months to completely replicate it.
But Wu Wei didn't care at all, after all, this artifact robot was rented.
And Prince Shi Renjun never said that rentals couldn't exceed a certain time limit, right? (Actually, he did, but Wu Wei didn't care).
In short, Wu Wei chose these two artifacts.
Although Wu Wei also very much wanted to obtain the other eleven artifacts, considering that Prince Shi Renjun's artifacts were subject to a rental system, and that this seemingly honest lord did not carry the artifacts with him, Wu Wei ultimately chose these two artifacts to rent.
————————————
After Wu Wei rented the artifacts and agreed with the lord on the details and content of the standard equipment, the lord hurriedly left Carlos's Tavern to complete Wu Wei's order.
At the same time, the lord also informed Wu Wei that although the customized equipment he ordered would take about a week to be delivered.
The artifacts he rented would be delivered by someone special in the afternoon.
Therefore, Wu Wei, who had originally planned to return to the Endless Abyss directly, decided to wait a few more hours in Evernight City.
As for money...
The two of them didn't mention money at all.
What a joke, how could you mention money when serving His Highness the Prince?
As long as Wu Wei could achieve his goals, all his reasonable needs would be met.
So, although Wu Wei obtained such expensive items in one go, he actually didn't need to pay anything.

“Lord, um, I have something I want to talk to you about...”
However, not long after the lord who provided Wu Wei with the artifact rental service left, just as Wu Wei was about to relax...
Carlos Yang, the blood clan member guarding the door, sneaked in furtively.
“Oh?”
“What is it?”
Seeing Carlos Yang acting so furtively, Wu Wei was quite puzzled.
He was curious, what could make Carlos Yang, who always paid attention to his image, become like this.
“Um, Lord, do you remember...”
“Sophia, the professional adventurer I brought over before?”
“Sophia?”
Listening to this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Wu Wei pondered to himself.
“Don't remember.”
Obviously, the Abyss Lord had many shortcomings, and among these many shortcomings was forgetfulness.
Seeing his lord so forgetful, the Fallen Angel Lilith immediately nudged Wu Wei and reminded him.
“Lord, Sophia is the current Mother of the Forest, Elsa!”
“She even seduced you and provoked me with her blood elf identity before.”
It must be said that Lilith's memory was frighteningly good when it came to certain trivial matters.
“Oh, so it's her.”
“What's wrong?”
Seeing Wu Wei finally recall the blood elf Sophia, Carlos Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
“Lord, do you remember that I once told you that this elf lady named Sophia was actually the mistress of some big shot?”
“Don't really remember.”
To be honest, Wu Wei really didn't remember this.
Because he himself was not interested in such "gossip".
However, this was Wu Wei's mistake.
Because in the Lord Era, so-called "gossip" often had another meaning.
That is, the meaning of intelligence!
Sure enough.
Seeing that his lord didn't care about Sophia so much, Carlos Yang's face became even worse.
“Lord, the blood elf Sophia was the Ironblood Duke's favorite mistress a long time ago.”
“And now, due to the blood elf Sophia's disappearance, they have begun to investigate.”
“So....”
“If you don't return the blood elf Sophia, you and I may have to face the Ironblood Duke's wrath!”
