When Beauty Meets Beasts

601 Wheel Of Machinery

Archie opened the bag he had brought, revealing a square brown box.

Huanhuan walked around the box and didn’t think there was anything magical about it. It was just an ordinary wooden box. She asked curiously, “What’s in it?”

Archie didn’t keep her in suspense. He opened the box on the spot and revealed its contents.

The box didn’t look big, but it was filled with a lot of things. They looked strange and useless.

Huanhuan casually took out a metal mouse and asked with interest, “What is this? It looks quite interesting.”

“It’s a tracking mouse. I invented it last year. It can be used to track targets. It’s very fast.”

Under Archie’s guidance, Huanhuan winded up the little mouse, then twisted its tail and lowered it to the ground. Its eyes darted around and it began to spin in place.

Archie said, “You need to give it a sniff of the target before it can find it.”

Huanhuan took out the small crossbow Mark had given her. She held it in front of the little mouse and waved it.

The little mouse squeaked, then quickly crawled out of the room and ran away.

Huanhuan waited for a long time, but the little mouse did not return.

Elman gloated. “Don’t tell me that little thing got lost?”

Archie was very confident. “It’ll be back.”

A moment later, the little mouse returned. One of Mark’s boots was dragged back by it.

The boot was dirty and smelly. Huanhuan quickly told it to stop and not approach her.

The little mouse threw the boot to the ground and squeaked.

Archie explained, “It’s telling you to go with it. It can lead you to the owner of this boot.”

Huanhuan quickly waved her hand. “No need. I already know how powerful this tracking mouse is. Have it get rid of this smelly boot.”

The entire house was almost smelly from the smell of the boot.

Archie gave the little mouse an order. “Send it back.”

The little mouse immediately grabbed the laces of the boot and dragged it out, sprinting toward Mark’s residence.

Huanhuan took out a small metal gear from the box. “What is this?”

“That’s the Wheel of Machinery. Legend has it that it can reverse time and travel through time.”

Huanhuan’s eyes widened in surprise. “It’s that powerful?!”

Elman exposed him bluntly. “Madam, don’t believe his nonsense. This is just an ordinary small gear. It’s impossible to reverse time. That legend is fake. No one has ever seen the real Wheel of Machinery.”

Archie looked a little embarrassed, but he still said stubbornly, “This is indeed the Wheel of Machinery, but Elman is right. It’s no different from ordinary small gears. I’ve tried many ways, but I can’t make it reverse time. I guess… it’s broken.”

In the end, his voice gradually weakened, and he didn’t seem confident.

Clearly, even he was not sure that this wheel could be as magical as the legends said.

Perhaps the legend was a lie and it was really just an ordinary gear.

Huanhuan looked very interested in this small gear.

Little Brat shouted in her mind, “This is the Wheel of Machinery! This is good stuff! I didn’t expect to find it here! What are you waiting for? Put it away!”

Huanhuan didn’t understand why Little Brat’s reaction was so big, but she still took the initiative to ask, “Can you give me this Wheel of Machinery?”

Archie looked pleasantly surprised and nodded vigorously. “Of course!”

Huanhuan accepted the gear with satisfaction. “That tracking mouse…”

“You can have it too,” said Archie quickly, afraid that she would go back on her word. “To be honest, everything in this box is for you!”

Huanhuan did not expect him to be so generous. “Thank you so much. In that case, I’ll sell the gold mine to…”

Before she could finish, Elman interrupted her hurriedly.

“Madam Huanhuan, don’t be anxious. You haven’t seen what I have! I can guarantee that the things I offer you are definitely not inferior to Archie’s. Please give me a chance!”

That was a gold mine. Elman would never allow it to fall into the hands of that fat dwarf!

Huanhuan hesitated for a moment. “Then show me.”

Archie, who was interrupted, glared aggressively at Elman!

Elman ignored the dwarf’s anger. He quickly opened his bag and took out a black jar. He placed it respectfully in front of Huanhuan. “I dug this out of a ruin. I’m sure you’ll like it.”

She slowly opened the jar and saw that it was filled with bright red liquid. Her gaze paused. “This is dragon blood?”

“Yes, it’s dragon blood.”

Xue Ling extended his hand. “Show me.”

Huanhuan handed him the jar filled with dragon blood.

Xue Ling lowered his head and sniffed. “The blood of an ancient dragon is quite rare. You must have spent a lot of effort to steal it, right?”

He glanced at Elman with a half-smile.

Elman did not feel embarrassed at all that the truth of him stealing from the dragon ruins had been exposed. He said, “That ruin is hidden very deeply and has many traps. In order to get this bit of dragon blood, we lost two gnomes and a dozen gnomes were injured.”

Xue Ling closed the jar and placed it in Huanhuan’s hand. “Take it. It’s a good item.”

Huanhuan was stunned. “But I just…”

“Don’t be anxious, Madam. I have something else.” Elman took another small leather pouch from the bag. “This is the seed of a butterfly flower. It might be useless to others, but it should be very useful to you.”

Huanhuan took the small leather bag and opened it. There were more than 10 purple-red seeds inside.

She took out a seed.

Little Brat immediately shouted, “It’s a butterfly flower. You can tame it!”

Huanhuan put the seeds back into the small bag. She looked at Elman, then at Archie. “The things you brought me are very good,” she said very awkwardly. “But I only have one gold mine. Now…”

Elman and Archie looked at each other as if they had reached a tacit understanding. “Then let’s split it equally!” they said at the same time.

Huanhuan was stunned. “Huh?”

Elman took the initiative to explain, “To be honest, although the things we’re offering you are precious, your gold mine is still more valuable. If either of us gets the gold mine alone, we’ll be taking advantage of you. Why don’t we split the gold mine in half? The dwarves and gnomes will each take half. That’s fair to everyone.”

Archie nodded in agreement. “Yes, I think that’s good too. What do you think, Madam Huanhuan?”

Huanhuan looked at them for a long time and asked coldly, “Actually, you already reached an agreement before you came here, right?”

The two of them chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed.
