Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.

"It sounds interesting." After thinking for a moment, Rune said goodbye to Colonels Henry and Ryan.

Then he returned to his own exclusive cabin on the warship with Little Carter and others.

If the descriptions of the two colonels are to be believed, the quicksand this time is extremely unstable.

As far as the naked eye can see, the situation is as rough as the sea.

As a result, based on the clues, everyone speculated that the name of this alchemical element was actually Balanced Quicksand.

How to balance quicksand

Is it its surface properties or its internal structure?

This sense of contrast reminded Rune of his previous training in Black Mountain Town, where he sought balance amid the fluctuations of the earth.

There is a mysterious feeling in it.

Rune's heart was filled with curiosity at this moment, and he couldn't wait to reach the tomb and learn about the specific situation of this third element.

Furthermore, according to his previous speculations about the concepts of good and evil, he just needed a gentle and stable ability to combine the two types of people and the two types of alchemical spells, so as to achieve a harmonious and unified project.

I hope this balance quicksand will not let itself down.

The warship was sailing calmly on the sea. Except for Rune, everyone on board was busy to the extreme.

The second time I entered the tomb to explore, it was completely different from the first time.

Before, people could only speculate about the crisis and possible existence in the tomb based on the little information recorded in the history of the empire.

However, now that everyone has been to the tomb once and has some understanding of what is inside, they naturally know that the dangers inside are much more terrifying than what is recorded, and they may die at any time.

The first batch of people sent by the four major forces were no more than two hundred people, and now each force has sent five hundred people, which can be considered to provide some guarantee for the safety of the underground.

Rune looked at these carefully selected and repurchased teams of extraordinary people and nodded silently.

The abilities of every extraordinary person are useful, and they can display their corresponding expertise underground, which is obviously more comprehensive than the first preparation.

But in his mind, the abilities of these people are still somewhat insufficient, judging by the two tests they encountered last time.

The first environment might be survivable, but the second is a place of death, and even if the current group of people enter, they won’t survive much longer.

If he were to form a team, then he would have to be at least Sequence 6 or above to be eligible to go, and it would be best if most of them were Sequence 5 or above.

But it was just wishful thinking on his part.

After all, it is not so easy to plan for the middle-level extraordinary people, and there are not many of them in the entire Beloberg. They dare not take such a risk by moving their wealth into the tomb.

Being able to send these people out shows that the four major forces have made a great determination.

After all, after the last understanding, the four major forces all knew that there were many extraordinary things in Constantine's curtain.

Rune heard through a source that the mechanical puppet core that was brought out from Constantine's Tomb last time had been disassembled and studied by alchemists from various forces, and was now making good progress.

It is expected that completely new alchemical formulas will be created based on these mechanical puppets, which will greatly innovate the current alchemy methods.

This alchemical innovation could quickly cause domestic imbalances in various countries, triggering a series of consequences.

Moreover, the last time the warships successfully returned were only those of Beloberg and the Duchy of Wisteria, and these two countries also gained the most benefits. As for the Duchy of Renard, it is said that although their warships did not come out later, they conveyed some important information, which enabled them to make breakthroughs in the research of alchemy.

This means that the research of the Principality of Renard is slightly behind that of Beloberg.

This second time they go to the tomb, they will definitely invest a lot of important resources in order to catch up with the progress of other principalities.

And last time, Beloberg sent out Captain Blood Sea, such a powerful figure, the Principality of Renard and other forces had to be on guard.

They will also have corresponding strong people entering.

It can be said that the second time entering the tomb, both in terms of competition and various situations, was more complicated than the first time.

In addition, the old lord would target Rune in the tomb, so Rune did not dare to relax his vigilance too much at this moment.

The warship arrived at the base of the four-party coalition forces above the tomb of Beloberg.

The base construction at this moment is much better than when Rune first came.

A variety of complete facilities and professional personnel are busy, constantly spying on the situation of the tomb below through the teleportation array on the sea.

Among them, Rune even saw some individual soldiers being sent out specifically to explore the specific issues and geographical location of the tomb.

However, most of the soldiers disappeared without a trace after they went down, and only a few were able to bring back some fragmentary information.

But even these fragmentary pieces of information are taken extremely seriously by various forces.

Seeing the arrival of Rune and others, Major General Ores, who was in charge here, also nodded slightly at him.

"You're here. You look stronger than before." Major General Ores patted Rune on the shoulder. "Don't underestimate the enemy this time. As far as I know, the Principality of Raynar sent three Sequence 5 colonels as leaders, hoping to gain an advantage in this tomb robbery. Shuanglong Castle even sent out a well-known major general."

"Although this major general is also a Sequence 5 Transcendent, he can break through to Sequence 4 at any time. He is just suppressing his strength at this moment and wants to lay a better foundation. He may be here this time to find an opportunity to advance, and he also wants to avenge his compatriots who died last time."

"And the Duchy of Wisteria is also fully prepared. Their veteran strongman Lincoln has been ready for action."

"But you can rest assured. Apart from the Principality of Raynar, we will not have direct conflicts with other people. After all, we cooperated with the Principality of Wisteria in the last tomb and rescued the Dragonborn in Shuanglong Castle. They all owe us a favor."

After everyone exchanged greetings, Ores and Rune quietly came to the side.

He whispered, "I said those words to everyone before, but now I want to remind you that there are people in our team that the old lord has planted. I can give you a list of names. You have to be careful with these guys, and you have to be vigilant even among our people."

"If possible, I absolutely do not want you to participate in this operation. Unfortunately, your path to advancement lies in this, and you have no choice but to go. Therefore, the enemy has also seen this aspect and will definitely target you."

"Just do your best to find opportunities to advance. Don't worry too much about those two guys, Kasruto and Liad. General Niels has made all arrangements for them."

Lu En nodded silently and said, "Then I feel relieved."

He was a little worried that his affairs would implicate other innocent people, but he felt relieved when he heard Ores say that he was ready.

Ores took Rune on a tour around the Four-Nation Alliance base and showed him all the properties of the balanced quicksand below.

Just as Henry and others had reported before, the Quicksand of Balance looked extremely strange.

It looks like a desert, but every place is full of mysteries.

There is rarely any place for people to gain a foothold.

If Rune were to say, this place seemed to be alive, but he could not feel any breath of life from it. Perhaps this is the power of Constantine's alchemy.

"Did you see it? Based on the information we collected before, this piece of balanced quicksand may be the last level of the upper level of Constantine's Tomb."

"Whether you can learn something from it and get any reward depends on your individual level."

"We have collected some quicksand for research and found that it can be used as an extremely precious alchemical material. Any alchemy can achieve a very stable effect by adding some balanced quicksand."

"Even some of the original unstable alchemy formulas can be used directly after the addition of balanced quicksand."

"Especially the golden quicksand, which is seven to eight times more effective."

"So now that our various forces enter, even if we only collect these quicksands, we can gain a lot of benefits."

"Moreover, this is a large sea of ​​sand with a lot of quicksand. If anyone can truly possess it, I'm afraid it could really overturn the entire world."

"We have now had these quicksands evaluated by many alchemists, and they are being sold at market prices based on their effects. The estimated value of each grain is around 200 gold coins."

Listening to Major General Ores's story, Rune also realized the opportunities contained in the tomb of Constantine in front of him.

This vast sea of ​​sand actually represents huge and countless wealth!

Ores smiled at Rune and said, "Are you wondering what kind of wealth someone would gain if he could control this sea of ​​sand?"

Before Luen could answer, he said, "At first, several of us had similar ideas, but later we found that it was not so easy to obtain what was left. The reason why we delayed going down to the tomb was that we were all developing a device that could collect the quicksand. It is only now that we have gained something."

"It will probably take another three days before the real launch can begin. During this time, you should take a good rest, get familiar with the people around you, and observe them."

After a round, Major General Ores left to take care of his own business.

Rune stood in a secluded place, carefully observing everything around him.

Not long after, a soldier found Rune. In his hand was a transparent glass vessel similar to a cylinder, with countless golden threads emerging in the middle, like faintly roaring thunder.

And in the middle is a balanced quicksand, floating up and down, appearing and disappearing.

"This is what Major General Ores asked me to give you. Please keep it carefully."

The soldier saluted Rune and then slowly walked away.

Rune held the vessel, frowned slightly, observed it for a long time, and finally understood something.

Major General Ores gave this thing to himself. The key was not this grain of balancing quicksand, but this vessel.

The transparent glass jar in front of you was developed by countless alchemists after many days and nights. It can hold balanced quicksand.

If Rune could get this thing, he would be able to quickly find a way to load and balance the quicksand and analyze the formula involved.

Knowing Ores' good intentions, Rune did not waste his time and began to study this vessel in the next few days.

Until the moment before departure, his research on this new alchemical formula was almost complete.

"I'll leave the rest up to you all." Ores looked at the people who were about to set off. "This mission is very urgent and dangerous. I hope we can meet again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Beloberg's transport ship slowly moved forward.

This time, Beloberg dispatched three transport ships.

Both the defensive power and the offensive alchemical devices loaded are much stronger than last time.

No one knows what the outcome will be when entering the world of balanced quicksand this time, so they can only do their best.

The ships of other forces also moved forward slowly.

There are 12 transport ships in total, and each one is filled with extraordinary and powerful people that are rarely seen in normal times.

Rune looked at the people from other forces and silently memorized their strength and appearance in his mind.

Among his own members, he quickly identified those who were sent by the old lord to target him.

As soon as they enter the world of balanced quicksand, Rune will kill these people.

He had no intention of beating around the bush with these people, and the reason he didn't kill them now was just to save the old lord's face.

At this moment, I don't want to tear off the opponent's disguise and start a war with him directly.

All the ships slowly moved down through the portal of the tomb.

After the familiar dizzying experience, Rune opened his eyes and found that all the other ships had disappeared. Only his ship was left, floating in the sky full of yellow sand.

"Captain, they are all gone, what should we do now?" Little Carter asked from the side.

"Let's get rid of the traitor first." Rune decisively pulled out the knife beside him.

There was a flash of knife, and several guys who had been targeted were killed.

None of the plans they had prepared in advance were realized, and they were killed by Rune first.

Although the other extraordinary people were shocked by this, after a simple explanation, no one had any more objections.

How much have they heard about the conflict between the Vasek family and the old lord?

"Now, let's go to the center point to meet up as planned."

The transport ship slowly floated up.

The topography and location of this place had been almost completely figured out before, and Rune already had a corresponding map in his hands.

While the warship was sailing in the air, some unusual creatures slowly raised their heads in the flowing sand below.

The sharp-eyed little Carter saw it and said excitedly, "Captain, look, it's the Quicksand Snake! I saw it in the manual before we set off!"

“That thing is full of treasures!”
