Star Forge Titan

"What?" Diana was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help showing an angry expression.

"The underground racing is managed by the largest gang in downtown, the Black Sparrows. They also run the largest casino in downtown - the Canary Cage. And the gambling game involving magic car racing is one of the fastest-growing gambling games for them." Canon began to slowly explain the whole story.

"Ever since the Lutetia City Hall banned cars from exceeding 30 mph in the city, only the underground racing circles outside the city can hold various magic car races without restrictions."

"Otherwise, why would those city dwellers who love watching the game be willing to leave the safety of the city in the middle of the night and run to Salt Park to stay up all night to watch the game?"

"And these people are exactly the ones who invested the most money in the gambling." Canon looked helplessly at Diana who was becoming more and more angry.

"After you joined the competition, you won so many times that the bets related to you became less and less profitable, so..." Canon spread his hands.

"To be more specific, this has something to do with me. Considering the existence of the Orphan Gang, they didn't dare to directly deal with you as a variable. That's why they found that unscrupulous and vile bastard Gore House and had him secretly take action during the game."

"After the game, I sent someone to secretly follow him, and we saw him drive directly into the Canary Cage, the largest casino under the Black-billed Sparrow. He hasn't come out until now." After saying this, Cannon looked at the dark night outside with cold eyes.

The gang leader was also in a bad mood at the moment. Attacking Diana, who was under his protection, was, to some extent, a violation of the reputation of the Orphan Gang.

If not handled properly, the gang's reputation throughout the downtown area will be significantly damaged.

If the Orphan Gang loses its deterrent effect, it may even be divided and swallowed up by other downtown gangs.

The living environment of downtown gangs is so harsh that they cannot afford to show any weakness, otherwise they will be regarded as weak targets who can be bullied by their peers.

"Can you determine the guy's current location?" Alvin suddenly asked.

"That's not difficult. My people are now guarding all the exits of the Canary Cage. Unless he doesn't want his magic car, he should still be in there." Canon was a little confused.

"Why are you asking this?"

"I think there's something wrong behind this, otherwise the other party wouldn't have to do it so drastically." Alvin thought to himself.

If it was just to defeat Diana, Blackbeak would not have gone so far, considering the existence of the Orphan Gang. The Orphan Gang was famous for its fighting ability and ferocity, and as the ones wearing shoes, they did not want to have an overly violent conflict.

Obviously, there are other forces behind that guy named Gore House.

"And then? I know it's not that simple. But how else can anyone know about this except the person involved? We are not ready for a full-scale war with the black-billed sparrows for the time being." Canon frowned, not quite understanding what the other party wanted to say.

However, the necromancer who had remained silent the entire time could not help but let out a low mocking laugh. He had already guessed that someone was going to be in big trouble because of this.

"Oh, is that so?" Alvin snapped his fingers nonchalantly.

"Then I'll go ask him alone."

Chapter 52: Breathing is wrong

Is there something wrong with you?

Ivan's words made Canon's confusion almost turn into question marks popping up above his head.

He found it difficult to understand their intentions. He had clearly informed them that the Black Sparrows were the largest gang in downtown, and that the Canary Cage was their largest casino. With Gore House hiding there, even the Orphan Gang would have a hard time taking him down.

Why would the other person want to go there alone...just ask?

Ignoring Canon's stunned face, Alvin turned to look at Diana.

"I understand your desire to win again on the court."

"But..." The boy stood up from the chair, his tall figure full of persuasiveness just by standing there.

"But?" Diana repeated subconsciously.

"Don't waste your time with trash." Alvin said this in a calm tone, which made the short-haired girl stunned.

"I'm not targeting anyone specifically, but gangs are all garbage." He didn't even look at Cannon.

"Asshole, what did you say!" Several sturdy gang members showed anger on their faces. They stood up angrily and wanted to go forward to get back at the enemy.

As a result, their steps became slower and slower as they walked.

Even though the diplomat ring changed his body shape, when he stood up, Alvin was still a head taller than everyone else.

At this moment, the magical pressure emanating from him was controlled extremely skillfully within the confines of a single room.

Although the scope of the impact was limited, this invisible pressure was like pressing on other people's souls, causing those strong adult gang members to break out in cold sweats and their legs to tremble uncontrollably.

The only one who performed reasonably well was the leader, Canon, but even he could feel sweat dripping down his back. Looking at the young man standing there quietly, even as a First-Class Warrior Transcendent, he couldn't muster the slightest desire to fight.

What did he say he was? An alchemist?

Are you kidding me? There's no such a tall and strong alchemist!

Canon's mouth twitched uncontrollably. It was not like he had never seen a real alchemist before. Those scholars who were good at making alchemical equipment looked no different from ordinary scholars.

"If you accidentally step into a mud puddle, you should pull your foot out immediately instead of continuing to jump in the mud as if to vent your anger." Alvin withdrew his magical pressure and looked at Diana very seriously.

"Things that happen underground are always shady, but the Lutetia Magic Car Competition does give you the opportunity to completely change the fate of you and your family."

He really liked the Valkyrie character named Diana in the game, so when he saw the short-haired girl in front of him who looked extremely young compared to the former, he couldn't help but want to say a few words of advice.

After all, underground racing is just something that cannot be seen in the light. The gambling industry that depends on it is destined to hide countless disgusting crimes and darkness in this kind of event, not to mention other extraordinary organizations that regard it as a free and irresponsible testing ground.

But the Lutetia Youth Magic Car Competition officially organized by Linde is completely different.

Through the competition, Linde officials will select young people with real potential, and the Carolingian royal family will provide all teaching resources and train them with unremitting efforts to become various new types of extraordinary people born based on magical engineering.

In the foreseeable future, these young people will become the most backbone of Linde's military and research departments, and it is even possible that real big figures will emerge in the future.

Right now, the reason why Alvin wanted to find the cheater to find out the situation was actually because he saw that there seemed to be some person or force hiding behind the scenes.

Those guys are likely to become their opponents in the Magic Car Competition later, so it is very necessary to know a thing or two about them in advance.

Besides that, what about black-billed sparrows and canaries? Do they matter?

He had dealt with this downtown gang in the game, so he naturally knew their details very well.

Besides, what level was I at that time?

Oh, by the way, I was still a trainee at that time, that is, a beginner player who was not even a transcendent.

Simply put, the gangs of Lutetia's Lower Town are essentially the same basic enemies you'll encounter early in the game. They're only slightly more dangerous and cunning than low-level monsters like slimes and goblins. In some ways, they're probably not as formidable as the true monsters.

"I'm very interested in your channel." Then, Alvin turned and looked at Canon.

"I need a relatively complete magic workshop. If I can't guarantee a complete set of instruments, at least the venue must be clean and spacious enough. In addition, I also need a large amount of high-quality metal materials and industrial parts such as gears."

Looking at the silent gang leader, he chuckled softly and continued:

"I know what you want. Prepare these things within three days. After tonight, you will see my sincerity."

"Be ready within three days..." Canon hesitated and then slowly lowered his head.

"Yes, my lord."

Alvin nodded, then gestured to the necromancer who had been eating melon and watching the show for a while.

Khayon nodded knowingly, indicating that he would keep an eye on the gang members who looked like they were on his side.

Looking at Diana who was lost in thought, Alvin knew that this girl was the kind of person who would think actively. There was no need to say much. Just a little hint or two and he believed she would find the right path.

"Well, everyone, I'll be gone for a while."

After saying that, the black-haired boy disappeared into the night.

In the moonlight, a large house with bright lights can be seen in the distance.

This is the area closest to the Gate of Heaven on the edge of the lower city, and it is also the most magnificent-looking area in the lower city.

Yes, although there are a large number of poor people living here, it is filled with a variety of colorful service industries. Many industries that were looked down upon by noble lords and considered unsuitable to be placed in the perfect city of Lutetia have been relocated here.

Among them are the Moulin Rouge, the largest cabaret and a place with a secret business, as well as the Canary Cage, a big casino where people can spend huge sums of money.

At this moment, Alvin walked into this large casino where all kinds of luxurious decorations could be seen everywhere.

Because he was wearing a formal suit, the casino doorman had no intention of stopping him. In fact, considering that his clothes were obviously expensive, he even bowed to him in a very flattering manner.

For rich people, the casino's attitude is naturally the best.

Soon, a waitress dressed in bright clothes came forward to talk to Alvin.

"Sir, is this your first time here? We..." Before the waitress could finish her words, Alvin raised his hand to stop her.

"Where is the VIP room?" the boy asked bluntly.

"Huh?" The waitress was stunned, but when she saw the handsome face and the majesty and attraction emanating from him, she couldn't help but quicken her breathing.

"You need to show your membership card to enter the VIP room. If you are a new guest, you need at least one or more members to act as an introducer." She took the guest's arm and introduced him while leading the way.

"It doesn't matter. I'm qualified to go in." Alvin smiled at her and said very gently.

Naturally, he would not act like a cold judge towards these ordinary girls who were just trying to make a living.

When they arrived at the door of the VIP room, two tall security guards reached out to stop them.

"Sir, please show me your membership card." The security guard in a Lavonki jacket asked very politely.

"Is this okay?" Alvin took out a gem that was so bright red that it seemed to be glowing and threw it to the other party.

The security guard subconsciously used the gem, and then immediately showed an ecstatic look.

"Of course! Please come in! Please come this way!" He bent down very respectfully and took the initiative to open the door of the VIP room for Ivan.

"Thank you." Alvin said and walked into the VIP room.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard a burst of laughter.

A guy with a very obvious hooked nose, small eyes, and a protruding chin, who looked like an enlarged version of an ugly goblin, was sitting at the gambling table with people around him.

"I'm the champion today, I'll treat you all!" the man shouted arrogantly.

Very good, the target jumped out by itself, so proactive.

Chapter 53: Breathing is wrong

In the VIP room of the casino, Gore House's unpleasant duck voice shouted arrogantly.

However, not everyone buys his account.

"Come on, weren't you ranked second? How did you become the champion?" someone couldn't help but ask sarcastically.

"You can't say that. That lord from the Temple of War God came here to test the new car. He even took the initiative to say that his results would not be counted in the competition rankings. Then I, who came in second, am naturally the champion." Gore House said shamelessly.

"You are such a shameless guy." The man cursed with a smile.

"Thank you." Gore House shamelessly accepted his insulting words as a thank you.

He knew that most of those who could come to the VIP room were rich and powerful young men or noble lords, so he didn't mind dressing up as a clown to impress these people.

For a small figure like Gore House, no matter what, it is better to be remembered by those noble lords than to be ignored by them.

Being remembered means having the opportunity to interact with them, and also the opportunity to be someone else's dog.

That's how he survived.

Otherwise, how did he get that priceless magic weapon? And how did he get that magic car that used experimental technology?

Even if they play the clown, the despicable villain has his own way of survival.

Alvin watched all this coldly. He did not take action immediately, but seemed to casually let the waitress lead the way and stroll around the VIP room.

As the VIP room of the largest casino in downtown, the decoration here is naturally full of extremely luxurious style. The tops of the exquisitely shaped pillars are carved into the shapes of angels or divine creatures, and the surface is also covered with gold foil using sophisticated means.

When you look up, you will see the ceiling, which is not simply pure white, but a huge painted oil painting that takes up the entire ceiling.

It describes the imagined scene of gods feasting in heaven. The tall and handsome gods sit upright on a stage, surrounded by little angels flapping their wings to pour wine for them, or singing and playing musical instruments. The edges are filled with pure white clouds to indicate that this scene takes place in heaven.

In addition, there are many places where you can see various decorations using gold colors.

The production process of this decoration is quite complicated. People need to melt the gold first, and then use a special method to stick and hammer it into gold foil. Then find special craftsmen to attach the gold foil to wooden furniture and marble building components by polishing or oiling.

The ancient craftsmanship used in it can even be traced back to thousands of years ago. In addition to being expensive, the decorative effect is luxurious and extravagant. It is simply the concrete embodiment of hedonism and belongs to the typical Baroque style.

However, Alvin couldn't quite accept it. After all, his aesthetic taste was different from that of people of this era.

In addition to various gold foil decorations, the most eye-catching thing in the VIP room is the huge aquarium placed in the middle.

This is a fish-raising vessel invented by Genoa merchants recently. Compared with the original porcelain or stone basins for raising fish, this aquarium uses a metal frame to support the force and is surrounded by transparent glass as side walls, so the aquatic animals raised in it can be observed very clearly.

Therefore, once it was released, it became popular among the nobility and wealthy businessmen.

As the largest casino in downtown, the Canary Cage couldn't help but keep up with the latest trends. Thus, this renowned VIP room now features a massive aquarium.

In the gorgeous aquarium, which matches the Baroque decorative style of the surroundings, colorful tropical fish can be seen swimming around everywhere.

They originally lived in the hot southern waters. With today's technology for transporting living things, every tropical fish that successfully crossed a long distance to reach Lutetia, the capital of Lind, meant that dozens of times its kind died on the way here.
