"Over there, across two streets..."
After saying that, the bear-headed man seemed to have used all his strength. He suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Xu Tian's leg, his eyes filled with despair and pleading.
"Please, save me! I don't want to die! I have family here..."
Xu Tian looked at him expressionlessly, without the slightest ripple in his eyes.
"Let's go."
Xu Tian completely ignored the orc's desperate pleas. He kicked away the bloody hand that was clinging to his thigh, turned around, and strode straight in the direction the bear-headed man had pointed.
Chen Xu and his two companions merely glanced coldly at the dying man on the ground before disappearing around the corner of the alley, leaving the bear-headed man standing there, waiting to die in despair.
Following the bear-headed man's directions, the four avoided several groups of orc thugs fighting in the streets and finally arrived at a huge courtyard with an extremely large area.
Unlike the simple and rough stone and wood buildings in the outer city, the building in front of us looks particularly magnificent and solemn.
The towering black stone walls and the heavy iron gates were tightly closed.
Xu Tian raised his head, his gaze falling on the huge plaque above the gate, carved from some kind of unknown animal bone.
Although they couldn't communicate verbally, the translation function immediately projected the three large characters "City Lord's Mansion" into his eyes.
This is the core hub of Blackrock Fortress.
However, standing in front of the city lord's mansion, Xu Tian and the other three frowned in unison.
It's too quiet.
This quietness seemed particularly jarring in the midst of the deafening clamor and rampant murder and arson that plagued the Blackrock Fortress tonight.
Just outside the wall, countless orcs were fighting tooth and nail for human slaves.
Inside the city lord's mansion, which represented absolute power, there was no sound of movement. No guards came out to quell the rebellion, and there was no magical light. No one knew what was going on inside.
"Something's not right."
Xu Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the tightly closed iron gate, his brain racing.
"The city lord's mansion is unusually quiet. It's impossible that the people inside can't hear the commotion outside. Their decision to remain still is definitely a ploy."
"Shall we charge in now and test their strength?"
Niu Niu gripped the sword tightly, looking eager to try.
"no".
Xu Tian decisively shook his head and raised his hand to stop Niu Niu's impulsive act.
"Now is not the time to go in and investigate. Dianfeng and his team's plan in the square over there has just reached its climax, and human slaves from all over the city are flocking to their location."
"If we rashly break into the city lord's mansion now, and alert the enemy, triggering a counterattack from the expert inside or a full-scale operation by the city lord's mansion, then the peak team's relocation operation will be completely exposed to the enemy's vision, and may even be forcibly interrupted."
Xu Tian's voice carried a hint of caution.
"To ensure we can completely exploit the human slaves in this city, we must wait, at the very least until Peak and Madman have taken over all the humans and completed the transfer. Only then can we freely explore the city lord's mansion. Before that, we must not cause any unforeseen complications."
After listening to Xu Tian's analysis, Chen Xu and the other two suddenly understood and nodded in agreement.
Chapter 211 Music Box
The capitalists' sickle has just been swung down; how can you ruin your own livelihood because of curiosity?
"Then let's retreat first, find a high point with a good view to keep an eye on this place, and wait for news from Dianfeng and the others."
Chen Xu suggested.
Then, the four of them quietly disappeared into the darkness and lay in ambush on the roof of a towering clock tower not far from the city lord's mansion.
Just as Xu Tian sat down on the roof tiles.
"Ding!"
A system notification suddenly sounded in his mind, followed by several lines of text emitting a pale golden light that appeared on his retina.
Side Quest Completed: Bloodstained Arena
[Task Reward 1: 2000 Energy Points]
[Mission Reward 2: New expansion module unlocked, more music box modules available]
Xu Tian looked at the prompt panel in front of him, and his eyes immediately revealed an undisguised excitement.
"The task has been completed."
Without hesitation, he immediately focused his attention on the detailed description of the "More Music Boxes" module.
As he clicked on it, a detailed introduction to the module instantly appeared before his eyes.
[Module Name: More Music Boxes]
[Feature Introduction: Adds several new types of music blocks to your world. The new advanced music box supports breaking through the original game's limitations, allowing players to directly import audio files from real-world devices and play them out in high fidelity within the game.]
[Derivative Cube: Portable Miniature Music Box, Music Box]
[Hidden Collaboration Gameplay: Sound Disguise - Place the head of any creature on top of the music box and establish a connection with it using a portable miniature music box.]
When the player speaks into the portable music box, the music box will perfectly simulate the voice and racial timbre of the skull in life.
After reading this detailed explanation, Xu Tian suddenly understood.
"Great stuff, this is definitely a magic weapon for infiltration, assassination, and playing tricks."
Xu Tian was secretly amazed.
Although they have props like piglin heads to conceal their faces and auras, their voice has always been a weakness.
They could only try to keep their voices down or speak as little as possible, because if they were questioned by familiar orcs, they would easily be exposed because of their accents and tone of voice.
This so-called hidden collaboration gameplay is practically a perfect voice changer tailor-made for them.
Moreover, the ability to import real-world music will definitely create unexpected and wonderful effects in this world.
With this in mind, Xu Tian did not hesitate at all.
He immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes.
Then, he directly selected another character, Tianxia Wending, located within the territory in the system interface.
With a slight dizziness, Xu Tian's consciousness instantly traversed thousands of miles and landed in the core room of his territory.
Xu Tian didn't waste a second. He skillfully opened the storage box and took out a large amount of wooden planks, redstone powder, iron ingots, and so on.
Following the newly unlocked module recipe, his hands flew across the nine-square grid of the workbench.
Accompanied by several familiar jingling sound effects.
Two oddly shaped cubes appeared in his hands.
One of them is larger, made entirely of dark walnut wood with intricately inlaid sound holes, and has a recessed area on top specifically for placing items; this is the music box.
The other one is very small, only the size of a palm, with a leather shell and a thin redstone antenna standing on top.
This is a portable miniature music box.
Xu Tian quickly stuffed both of the newly made props into the Ender Chest in the corner of the room.
Consciousness jumped again.
Less than a minute later, Xu Tian, who was sitting on the roof of the Black Rock Fortress clock tower, suddenly opened his eyes.
He took a deep breath, pulled the Ender Chest from his inventory, and placed it steadily on the tile.
As the Ender Box was opened, Xu Tian reached inside and took out the two music boxes he had just created.
At this moment, Chen Xu, Niu Niu, and Chu Jian had already been drawn to Xu Tian's actions and gathered around him.
"Tianxia, what kind of rare thing are you holding in your hand?"
Chen Xu stared at the dark wooden box and asked curiously.
Xu Tian smiled and waved the cube in his hand.
"I'll buy a new module to test it out."
Upon hearing this, the three of them were stunned, their eyes filled with surprise.
"A new mod is out so soon? That's quite a speed of updates."
Xu Tian nodded, and then decisively placed the music box on the roof.
Then, he held the small, portable music box in his right hand.
"Take a look at this."
Xu Tian pointed to the groove on the top of the large music box.
"This thing is used to perfectly fake a voice changer. These two music boxes, one big and one small, have a special connection. All we need to do is..."
Xu Tian turned his head and looked around. When they came up, there was a werewolf corpse that had been hacked to death in the alley below the clock tower.
"Wait me a moment".
Xu Tian leaped directly from the rooftop into the alley. He grabbed the werewolf corpse by the back of the neck and effortlessly dragged it back onto the roof.
Amidst the three people's puzzled gazes, Xu Tian swiftly raised his sword and severed the werewolf's head, then placed it steadily in the groove on top of the music box.
The moment the werewolf's head was placed on the music box, a faint red light appeared around the sound holes on its surface, as if it were reading some remaining information from the head.
Then, Xu Tian brought the small portable music box to the mouth of the mask and pressed the switch on it.
"Just test it out, that's all."
When Xu Tian uttered those seven words.
The voice coming from the music box containing the werewolf's head was not Xu Tian's original voice at all.
Instead, it was a low, hoarse wolfish voice.
"Roar... Let's test it out... Just like that... Awooo!"
The voice was exactly the same as the voice of the wolf howler they had just killed in the square, and even the heavy breathing unique to orcs was imitated perfectly.
Upon hearing the incredibly realistic voice-changing effect, Chen Xu and the other two gasped in astonishment.
"Holy crap, this stuff is amazing."
