Chapter 312: Chapter 299: The Final Battle of a Certain Individual (Long Chapter)_3

As soon as he finished speaking, Owen Bertram appeared, still alone and with his hands behind his back.

The people of the Lioyd Sect brightened and rushed to greet him, "Lord, you have returned."

Rachel was very sure that if she were the one returning from a journey, these fellows wouldn’t be so enthusiastic.

"Hmm," Owen Bertram said indifferently, glancing at the crowd and pointing at Rachel and the elder, "I need to speak with the two of you."

He avoided the Scott Clan, making Sherry and the others look rather awkward.

Owen snapped his fingers and released a Soundproof Barrier, which he had obtained from his younger classmate.

After blocking the possibility of the Scott Clan eavesdropping, Owen cautiously asked, "Does your sect have any clever and effective means of measuring, for example, to analyze the array, sealing, etc., in a massive building without causing damage?"

The elder laughed, "Of course! We are a sect specialized in Mechanical Techniques, and one of the crucial elements is discovering ancient relics."

Smiling, the elder winked at Lord Algernon, fearing he might not understand, and further explained, "Excavating ancient relics of our predecessors is mainly about excavating the Great Tombs of the Demon Clan."

Owen then realized that since the rise of the Human Race, there had been many calamities, but history had never been interrupted. The most severe was during the Three Desolations, where those above the Sixth Great Realm were extremely rare.

In the ancient relics of their predecessors, they could indeed find some broken Mechanical Techniques. However, they were not only few in number but also not very advanced since they had been cut off from their inheritance.

But the Demon Clan was different.

Before the Human Race, the Demon Clan was extremely prosperous, and their Cultivation and Mechanical Techniques were highly developed skills.

Moreover, the Demon Clan’s corpses and sacrifices were precious Treasure Materials.

Compared to the Human Race, the Demon Clan, who had been removed from their dominant position in the world, had suffered the most severe loss of inheritance.

The elder continued, "Whether it’s exploring tomb structures or analyzing Mechanical Techniques, we need some ingenious surveying methods. By asking the Lioyd Sect for help, you’re working with the right people."

Owen looked forward to collaborating, but the elder didn’t say more. Owen weighed his options and hinted, "There are some things you can’t decide on."

Suddenly, a calm voice beside them said, "I can make the decision."

It was Rachel. When Owen looked at her with some suspicion, her eyes shone brightly, "I only ask one thing: please instruct my father in Mechanical Techniques. I promise to persuade him to cooperate with you and the power you represent!"

Rachel’s purpose in coming to Copper Gorge was actually to find a Seventh Level expert to guide her father.

Both her father’s Cultivation and Mechanical Techniques were stuck in a solid bottleneck.

In this era, those above the Sixth Great Realm were extremely rare.

For example, Owen only knew of Abner Lane, who had only recently broken through.

When both the Wood Dynasty and the Nine Witch Demon Court tallied their top forces, they only counted those at the Sixth Great Realm. Anything above that was meaningless, as not only were their numbers too few, but their level was also too high to be controlled by the Imperial Court’s laws.

Even more rare than the Seventh Level were those who could instruct the Lioyd Sect Master in Mechanical Techniques!

Without a doubt, Owen was one of them.

Owen smiled slightly, "Good, since we’re family now, Elder, bring a few clever men with you and come with me."

"Great!" The elder was overjoyed, immediately selecting four disciples he approved of. Those who were not chosen could only watch enviously as they followed Owen, flying away and disappearing beyond a mountain peak.

As soon as they left, Sherry approached sneakily, with a sly grin, asking, "Fourth Young Master... "

Rachel didn’t give her a chance to speak, coldly saying, "Elder, don’t ask too many questions. It’s not something you can know.

We, the Lioyd Sect, have always been faithful and righteous. Since our two families have reached an agreement, we will certainly protect you in Copper Gorge."

Sherry’s face turned ugly.

Rachel glanced at Emma Scott in the distance and added, "You don’t need to panic. With the young lady here, as long as the Scott Clan doesn’t do anything crazy, there won’t be any major disasters."

Sherry returned angrily, looking resentfully at the still cold and aloof Emma Scott.

...

Owen brought the elder and his disciples to the dried-up lake, and the people of the Lioyd Sect were astonished. How could such a place have been built? Only professionals could understand the wonders of the stone poles.

Owen pointed to the five stone holes, "The structure below is extremely massive. You should start soon."

"Yes." The elder obeyed and quickly gestured for the disciples to get to work.

They took out wooden boxes from their Storage Brocade Pouches. Inside, neatly arranged, were Broad Bean-sized Mechanical Bats.

Then, with some unknown method, the Mechanical Bats were set in motion, some flying into the stone holes and some dispersing into the sky.

The elder took out a Magic Treasure drum and gently struck it after everyone was ready.

"Boom —" The sound was deep and penetrating.

He continually changed his position, hitting the small drum at each spot. The whole process lasted about half a Shichen (1 hour), after which the Mechanical Bats were retrieved. Several disciples used the Lioyd Sect’s Secret Skill to construct the entire underground structure with spiritual light in front of them.
