Chapter 1654: Energy Absorption
HALL-E’s workplace was not far from its dwelling.
In fact, the entire Steel Ruins served as both its living space and its daily worksite. HALL-E led Sein and the others to the nearest waste disposal area.
It was a vast, level expanse.
Carving out such a flat clearing within this steel jungle of ruined structures had clearly required immense effort.
In one corner of the open area, rows of compressed metal cubes were stacked with meticulous neatness.
Crushed under tremendous pressure, these metal blocks no longer bore any resemblance to their original forms.
HALL-E was not a combat robot—Sein understood that well.
Still, just how much raw strength HALL-E possessed was something Sein had never measured precisely.
He walked over to one of the neatly stacked piles and picked up a metal cube, examining it for a long while.
Gilbert soon joined him, but the old Rank Four mage struggled slightly as he lifted one of the cubes.
“This is essentially metal essence, though the composition is rather impure,” Gilbert said.
“A metal ingot like this could sell for about ten magicoins in Steel City. Considering these alloys originate from a top-tier technological civilization like the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization, their value might be even higher,” he added thoughtfully.
