Chapter 329 28. The Stark family’s “secret treasure”

After several hours of driving, the spider car full of people finally arrived at today's camp site as night fell, which was a wasteland gathering point nearly a hundred kilometers northeast of Hammerfell Town.

This place is as chaotic and dirty as Hammerfell.

But the good news is that there are no gangs causing trouble nearby, because Team K has entered the sphere of influence of the "Ant Gang".

According to "Wasteland Bai Xiaosheng" Eagle Eye, this area is the "most orderly" place in the entire wasteland. The Ant Gang rules here in a cruel and efficient way and refuses the intervention of all external forces.

Although they are still poor and difficult, as long as the people here can pay the monthly payment, at least they don't have to worry about dying.

The spider car stopped in front of the only "bar" at the gathering point, which had already been bought by the wealthy Barbara with several boxes of compressed biscuits and purified water.

Hawkeye, who had just endured the "torture" of the bone spirit, struggled to get out of the car with the help of the old wolf. Facing Barbara who came to greet him, Harley dragged Ashley Parker, whose mouth was covered but was still struggling.

He vividly told Batgirl everything they encountered in the canyon.

When she heard that the filial daughter in front of her tried to kill her biological father to show her strength, Barbara looked at Ashley with eyes full of disgust and contempt.

The Bat Family doesn't want to hear this the most.

However, out of humanitarian considerations, Barbara still reached out and tore off the tape on Ashley Parker's mouth. This wasteland bully girl didn't care about other people's looks at her. She immediately looked at her after she could speak.

To Mason walking towards the bar.

She shouted hoarsely:

"You are the powerful one! You are the leader, and I want to join you! I want to share your power."

"I'm not interested in crazy people."

Mason waved his hand and said without looking back:

"Harry, check her out to see if she has any psychological problems. Barbara will take care of her tonight. If she dares to act like a monster, I'll give her a good beating."

"No, you can't trust Clint Barton!"

Ashley Parker shook her head and shouted:

"That man lied to you. When he left my mother and me, he said he wanted to bring hope back to this hopeless world. He went to the no-man's land of South America to look for the Avengers' secret treasure!

The fact that he is back now means that he has found the leader!

This news is enough for you to accept me, it is the most valuable treasure in this wasteland."

"Bang"

Unable to listen any longer, Barbara cut her neck with her palm, and like Harley, dragged the crooked spider girl into the second floor of the bar.

They had to treat her wounds and give her a bath.

Look at her dirty mud monkey look, as if she rolled in a pit.

As for the "Avengers Secret Treasure" Ashley just mentioned, it didn't stop Mason. The goods delivered by Hawkeye were in his luggage.

If Eagle Eye really found the so-called treasure, it must be in that box.

But Mason has no interest in any of this right now.

He said hello to the team members who were sitting at the cramped and dark bar enjoying a weird "wasteland dinner", and then went to the room on the second floor.

He took out the alchemy workbench, and then took out the Magneto helmet found in the Canyon Gang.

He wants to crack the secret of this helmet as soon as possible.

This thing is really extraordinary. It is definitely the most valuable trophy that Mason can find on his "journey back home". The most important thing is that this thing has extraordinary commemorative value for all mutants.

The dark red helmet was designed by Magneto to have a very elegant yet powerful appearance. From this detail, we can see that Lao Wan in this world is also an absolute showman.

After being washed with Stark's mecha cleaning fluid, Mason placed the dark red helmet that was clean and odorless in front of his eyes.

Information label pops up:

Helm of the Black King

Quality: Legendary forged items·Perfect craftsmanship

Features: Psychic protection·Permanent magnet·Energy enhancement·Never wear out

Special effects:

1. Mental isolation:

Magneto specially made this helmet in order to fight against his best friend and old enemy Professor

When wearing this helmet, the user is immune to all mind control, thought peeping and charm interference effects, and remains [awake] at all times.

2. Permanent magnet:

Magneto's special abilities endow the helmet he never leaves with with certain characteristics.

When wearing this helmet, the power of the user's energy attacks (including magic effects) will be enhanced, because it has a stable and indestructible magnetic field interference, so the user cannot be tracked and located by any electronic device.

When attacked by electromagnetic weapons, this helmet can give the user an [Attack Deflection] effect.

Producer: "Magneto" Eric Ransel

Item description: Although Lao Wan never takes off his helmet, Magneto is an elegant gentleman who is so demanding about his hygiene habits that he is almost mystical, so you don't have to worry about any oil and dandruff remaining on the helmet.

hint!

When your forging skills reach Level 4, you can try to learn the smelting formula for the helmet's special material.

"Hat, I think you might be retiring."

Mason put this not heavy but very high-quality war helmet in his hands and played with it. He whispered to the Sorting Hat placed on the other side of the workbench:

"Look at this helmet. It's much more powerful than you in every sense of the word."

Faced with Mason's teasing, the Sorting Hat protruded a vague human face on its hat, and responded with a hint of sneer:

"It is indeed powerful, but I don't believe you can take it with you when taking a shower. The Occlumency I gave you is effective for a long time. Besides, will it change its shape?

Does it have such an elegant shape as mine?

Can it have a thousand-year history like mine?

Anyone with a brain knows which hat you should choose between me and it."

"You're just bullying this Black Emperor's Helmet who can't speak."

Mason complained.

Of course he was just joking. Lao Wan's helmet can be used during battle. It is very uncomfortable to wear it normally. The soft material of the Sorting Hat is more comfortable.

"The current blacksmithing skill is Lv2+1, which is still one level behind."

Mason stroked the helmet in his hand and thought:

"This kind of material that can weaken or even isolate the power of the mind is very rare. It must be mastered as soon as possible. In the future, the suits made for the members of Team K will have to use this material to avoid being secretly used.

As we all know, those who play with psychic powers are hard to guard against, and not every psychic manipulator is as ethical as Professor X.

It would be difficult to deal with a bastard like Ziren."

"There's someone approaching outside the door, Mason."

The hat suddenly reminded him, and the captain nodded, put Magneto's helmet in his hand, pulled out a silver pistol from his waist and pointed it at the door.

A few seconds later, there was a knock on the door.

"Hello, Mr. Mason, I am Sonny, the owner of Stark's Bar, and I will bring you a midnight snack."

A flattering voice sounded outside the door. Mason blinked and said:

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and the fat boss carrying a dinner plate walked in. His face was full of flattery, and he immediately became frightened when he saw the black muzzle of the gun in Mason's hand.

He raised his hand while holding the dinner plate and shouted:

"No! I didn't mean any harm. I even used the best ingredients in the cold storage to cook the food myself. I just wanted to get closer."

"He's lying."

The hat in Mason's hand said coldly:

"His thinking activities are quite intense. It's not just because of fear. He has other purposes. Maybe you should give him a shot to calm him down."

"I said! I said everything!"

Sonny Stark, the owner of Stark's Bar, saw that he could no longer hide it, so he frowned and moved his fingers nervously, and said to Mason:

"I am. I want to ask you for help, an unknown big shot.

I just heard your team members complaining about something while eating. If they are not joking, then you should all be from another world, and you have saved some people in Hammerfell before.

I would like to ask you to have mercy and take me and my family out of this wasteland.

I mean, leave forever!

I've had enough of this damn place, it has taken away everything from me and reduced me from an upper-class kid with no worries about food and clothing to a miserable failed operator."

Faced with this request, Mason was noncommittal.
