There were a few things that mattered when it came to picking a lock. Skills, tools, experience, and intuition were all indispensable.
Tian Chen's movements were extremely slow. He used the iron wire to slowly probe along the edge of the hole. He was very careful because this was, after all, a holy artifact of the Aiins Continent. Who knew if there were any anti-theft mechanisms inside? If Tian Chen accidentally touched any Dou Qi device and a burst of Dou Qi burst out from it, then he could reincarnate again.
The fear of the unknown and the absolute confidence in his skills made Tian Chen feel as if he had returned to his past life as a thief.
Taking a huge risk and using exquisite skills in exchange for huge wealth, this feeling was extremely satisfying! It was even better than Tian Chen being forced by the Seven Swords to do good deeds!
After advancing a few millimeters, Tian Chen felt that three of the wires could not enter, but the other one was unimpeded.
"Ancestor Siglu!" Tian Chen was ecstatic. This feeling was too familiar to him. One hole opened, three holes closed. Could this be the Four Key Lifting Lock?
The structure of the four-key lift lock was like a four-layered safe. When the first layer was opened, there would be a second layer, a third layer, and a fourth layer. Only when the first keyhole was opened with the most correct method would the second keyhole be revealed, and so on!
"If that's the case, you first have to turn the lock body counterclockwise, then use the key to turn the first layer of the lock core clockwise, and then gently lift it up!”
Crack!
Tian Chen heard a crisp sound coming from the metal ball. Immediately after, he could stuff the iron wire into the second small hole.
"Hey! It's really good! Then there should be a screw on the second level. Three hard wires should be used to clamp the screw and rotate it in a clockwise direction before pressing it down! Damn, the iron wire is too thick, I still need to grind it…"
Ka ba, ka ba, ka ba!
With three crisp sounds, the remaining three locks were all opened by Tian Chen!
Immediately after, the metal ball began to change. It expanded a few times, then began to disassemble from the cracks on it, quickly forming another form.
Tian Chen used his sneaky eyes to record the changes in the metal ball. He could not help but blurt out," F * ck, Transformers?”
In the blink of an eye, the metal ball turned into a small hammer and landed on the grass in front of Tian Chen.
……
At this moment, in a manor in Saint John City.
Kaman, whose face was bruised and swollen, was complaining to a fat nobleman in front of him." Father, lend me a few of the family's Guardian Battle Gods. I'm going to settle the score with Francis!”
This fat noble was Kaman's father, the descendant of the Storm Battle God, Duke Weideno, the Minister of Rites and Law of the Lanning Empire." Kaman, Francis is just a good-for-nothing who can't cultivate Combat Aura. Why are you angry with him? Moreover, he is a descendant of the Holy Brilliance Battle God after all, and he beat you up today to save someone. If you seek revenge on him because of this, it is not allowed by the sacred code of law!”
"I don't care. This matter can't just be…Aiya!”
Kaman clutched his chest and screamed. He quickly searched his pockets, and his face turned ashen." Father, my holy weapon, the Goat Warhammer, is missing. It has been recognized as its owner by someone else!"”
" What?!" Weideno suddenly stood up and slammed the table." Impossible! Your Goat Horn Warhammer is a third-grade holy weapon. If you want to force it to recognize you as its master, I'm afraid only a ninth-grade Battle God can do it. However, only Godfather Ferdinand is a ninth-grade Battle God in the empire!!!”
"But father, my connection with the artifact has been severed!”Kaman paced back and forth anxiously and said,"It must be Francis. Today, I'm only going with him…No!”
Kaman himself cleared the suspicion of Heavenly Earth." Francis can't even cultivate Combat Aura. Even if he stole my Sacred Artifact, he can't force him to recognize me as his master! Furthermore, the strongest member of the Saint Caine Family, Anjis, did not have the ability to force a Rank 3 Saint Weapon to recognize him as its master!”
Wei De Nuo frowned and thought for a moment, then said,"You must have lost the saint artifact and let a ninth rank Battle God pick it up! Immediately go to the city guards 'station and tell them to search the entire city!”
"Alright, I'll go now!" " Father, where's Francis?" Kaman turned around. Are you going to watch me get beaten up and not take revenge?？”
Weideno smiled. The words 'harmony breeds wealth' seemed to be written all over his chubby face. From the looks of it, he looked like a genuine merchant annihilator!
"How could that be? Kaman, my only son, you are the descendant of the Storm Battle God Arman, you cannot be bullied by an idiot! However, Francis was helping the damned poor to beat you up. According to the code of the Holy Church, he did not do anything wrong. Instead, he should be rewarded! Therefore, we can't use this excuse to take revenge on him!”
Kaman looked at his father in confusion, waiting for further explanation.
"Oh, my son, you're fifteen this year, right? Hehe, if father remembers correctly, Francis is five years old this year…"
Weideno waved his hand at his confused son." Hurry up and go. Father will give you a legitimate chance to kill him!”
……
In Saint Caine's manor, Tian Chen cheered as he leaned over to size up Little Hammer.
It was similar to the claw hammers on Earth. It was entirely golden in color, and the handle was only about 30 centimeters long. One end of the hammerhead was cylindrical, and the other end was divided into two halves, bending toward the handle. Overall, it looked like a sheep's head.
"Tsk tsk, not bad. It's very handy to open a large safe!”Tian Chen chuckled, grabbing the hammer handle and picking it up.
The hammer did not move.
Tian Chen was stunned. He exerted more strength, but he still could not move the hammer.
Saint artifacts could only be used with Dou Qi! Tian Chen suddenly understood this logic. Stolen things can't be used, how infuriating!”
Although he was unwilling, Tian Chen had no other choice. Other than a few more tattoos on his back, he was basically an ordinary human. He did not even have any so-called Dou Qi.
At this moment, Tian Chen felt as if a tuft of foxtail grass had grown on his heart. It itched to death, but he could not scratch it!
But fortunately, according to Steve, being able to forcefully open the Sacred Artifact had already cut off its connection with its master. At least now, Tianchen was not afraid of being scratched.
As the sun set, the night sky enveloped Saint John City. The pitch-black night sky was just like Tian Chen's current mood, depressing!
The lights in Saint Caine Manor lit up, illuminating the huge manor as if it was daytime.
It was time for dinner.
When Tian Chen returned to his tower dejectedly, Ariza was squatting at the door waiting for him." Young Master, where's the roast cow you promised me?”
Tian Chen smiled and threw his unhappiness to the back of his head. He led Ariza into the tower. The first floor was Ariza's bedroom and also the living room for the three of them. The layout was very simple. The walls were made of bluestone, and there was only a huge wooden bed and a set of mahogany tables and chairs.
Old Foye was setting the cutlery at the table.
"Uncle Fuye, shall we eat roasted cow tonight?" Tian Chen smiled. I promised Ariza!"
Old Foye looked troubled. He looked at Ariza reproachfully." Why are you so insensible? Half of Young Master's monthly salary has been used to support you, and you still want to eat roasted cow? It's only the 13th today. Do you want Young Master to eat black bread for the rest of the month?”
"Oh!" Ariza nodded, feeling wronged." Then I won't eat!”
It was only after asking that he found out that the three sons of the St. Caine family had a fixed monthly allowance. Old Foye did not know how much the second young master Charlie received, but Steve did not hide it from him. The eldest young master's monthly allowance was one gold coin, which was 100 silver coins.
As for Tian Chen, this Third Young Master, he only had ten silver coins!
Tian Chen then asked about the prices of grain in Saint John City. Using his special sensitivity to property, he calculated that the purchasing power of these ten silver coins was equivalent to more than 1,000 RMB in his previous life.
One thousand yuan, three people, including a two-meter-tall big-bellied man. It would be an exaggeration to say that they depended on each other, but Yue Zi was indeed tight.
Tian Chen was a little angry. Angelis had gone too far. Although his son was a fool and couldn't cultivate Dou Qi, he was still his flesh and blood. How could he be so mean!？
Looking at the plate of steak and the bowl of pea soup on the table, Tian Chen angrily threw down his knife and fork and said,""Ariza, Young Master will definitely do what he promised you. I'll think of a way to treat you to roast cow tomorrow!”
"Young Master, are you going to borrow money from Young Master Steve? That wouldn't do. Young Master Steve usually had to entertain the young masters and ladies of other families, and he didn't have much money!”
"No, I have my ways!" Tian Chen smiled and picked up his knife and fork. He thought to himself,'The rich people of Saint John City better not go out tomorrow!'
Old Foye continued to nag." Sigh, Young Master Steve is good at everything, except that he spends a lot of money on the noble lady. His monthly salary, plus the Battle God allowance, is not enough for his expenses. He often borrows money!”
"Battle God allowance? Do you think the Battle God will get paid?" Tian Chen asked curiously.
"Yes, Young Master Steve is a Level 3 Yellow Devil Fighter. He can receive an allowance of 15 silver coins from the Battle God Holy Church every month!”
Tian Chen punched Ariza's chest." How much is Ariza's monthly allowance? If he was so powerful, the allowance he received would be enough to eat roasted cows, right?”
" Young Master," Ariza said reluctantly," I don't have any allowance. I'm a slave, so I can't cultivate battle energy!"”
