In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 139 Promethium Metal

The ninja placed his right hand on his chest and saluted Shimizu.

"Master Walter, you can call me Rattlesnake."

Shimizu took a look at the tattoo on the ninja's arm. It showed a poisonous snake entwined around a sword and spitting out its tongue, as well as some complex patterns representing the Assassin's League.

Different levels of members of the Assassin's League have different code names. Ordinary members are generally divided into two levels. The first level has tattoos of swords and knives, while the second level of elite assassins combines dragons, snakes, scorpions and other animals with swords and knives. The patterns include demon head patterns representing the head of the devil, and there are also dragons and snakes in the code names.

It's more casual when you go up to level 1. At this level you are the high-level members of the Assassin's League. There are no strict restrictions. For example, Black Arrow's title in the Assassin's League is Magician, and Sandra Wu Shan's title is Siva, which means Shiva, the god of destruction in Indian mythology.

There are also those who still use animals in their titles, such as Ms. Shiva's senior brother Bronze Tiger, who is a fighting master at the same level as Ms. Shiva, Batman, and Deathstroke. The fact that he uses the tiger is related to his early experiences.

Even sisters like Talia and Nissa don't have these code names and use their names to represent their identities.

"Tell me what's here and how you can help me with my operation."

Qingshui said casually.

"Yes! Where would you like to start?"

Rattler asked.

Qingshui replied: "Power, wealth, and connections."

Rattlesnake: "The Great Demon Chief has a total of twenty people in his base in Gotham. Six of them are trainees who are still in training. Among the official members, except for me, Scorpion, and Chameleon, the others are ordinary members."

"What about Scorpion and Chameleon?"

"They are not here. Scorpion is the leader of the Scorpion Gang, and Chameleon is an official in Gotham City Hall. They respectively collect all the information about the black and white worlds in Gotham for the great Ninja Master."

Qingshui quickly remembered that there was indeed a second-rate gang in Gotham called the Scorpion Gang, which was quite far away from his territory and usually acted in a low-key manner, but was quite powerful, so no other gang had any fierce conflict with it.

In this way, the so-called Scorpion Gang can actually be regarded as a peripheral force of the Assassin's League.

Rattlesnake paused, and seeing that Qingshui didn't say anything, he continued:

"The great demon leader has accumulated endless wealth. He left a ton of gold in Gotham, and other wealth worth about $200 million as funds for our operation, in addition to some precious weapons and equipment."

Qing Shui nodded slightly: "Weapons and equipment... Then there should be channels to obtain some controlled precious materials here, right? Is there any promethium metal?"

"This... there is a dagger that was once used by the Demon Chief. It is made of promethium. If you want more promethium, I will apply to the headquarters for you. However, this metal is too rare. I am afraid..."

"It's okay. It's best if you have it, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it. Let me see the dagger first."

"Yes!"

Rattlesnake lowered his head and took Qingshui to the warehouse of the Assassin's League base. He took out a box, held the promethium metal dagger in both hands, and presented it to Qingshui.

This is a small dagger, about fifteen centimeters including the handle. It looks cold and sharp, and sparkles under the white light.

Qingshui picked up the dagger, weighed it twice, and then swung the knife around.

The weight of the dagger is slightly heavier than that of iron of the same volume. A promethium metal dagger like this weighs about two kilograms.

"Can I melt it?"

Qingshui wanted to know if he could melt promethium into his puppet. With such a small weight, he could either melt it into the blade of the White Warrior's high-voltage electric sword to increase its strength and sharpness, or pull it into a thread to serve as an energy conduction device inside the puppet.

However, if it is the latter, the chakra conductivity of this metal needs to be tested.

“I’m sorry, Lord Walter, I don’t mean to stop you, but… I want to melt the promethium metal, but I’m afraid it’s almost impossible to do.

This metal is a man-made new metal element invented by Dr. Dayton more than 40 years ago. It is so strong that it is almost indestructible and can absorb and store all energy. Therefore, no matter whether it is processed by physical methods or high-temperature smelting, it is impossible to reprocess the already shaped metal. The shape can only be fixed by using a mold at the beginning of production. "

Rattler replied.

"Then do you know where we can produce promethium metal? Does the Assassin's League have any channels?"

Qingshui asked again.

But the rattlesnake just shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Lord Walter, at my level, I'm not qualified to access this information."

"alright."

Shimizu tried to channel chakra into the promethium dagger.

To his disappointment, the chakra was like a drop in the ocean and the promethium metal dagger did not react at all.

The biggest feature of this thing besides being hard is its ability to absorb and store energy.

This makes it almost impossible for energy-based attacks such as magic, electric current, and heat rays to take effect on Promethium alloy, which has extremely high magic resistance, but it also means that Shimizu cannot currently use it as a conductor for chakra transmission.

However, nothing is absolute. Batman and Cyborg's father both have the technology to utilize the energy properties of promethium. They can inject large amounts of energy into the metal for storage, and then activate it using specific methods when needed, and use it as a super battery or high-tech weapon.

The former has the ability to inject enough energy into promethium metal to generate electricity for a large power plant for a long time, while Cyborg relies on the power of the Mother Box.

Qingshui certainly didn't have that kind of skill. To him, this promethium dagger could only be used as an extremely sharp and strong dagger.

Putting away the dagger, Qingshui listened to Rattlesnake's introduction for a while.

For example, the various resources and industries related to the League of Assassins in Gotham City, and how they used these resources to help Dr. Hugo push Sharp to the mayor's throne.

Now that Shimizu has received these resources, it can also use these resources to exert influence on the Gotham Police Department and Gotham City Hall and strengthen its own power.

However, these still need to be planned slowly according to the actual situation.

In comparison, Qingshui now has a more important task at hand.

After coming out of the Assassin's League base, Qingshui bought a few bags of snacks and put them in the car to hide his tracks, then returned to Hogg's Car Dealership.

"You are finally back..."

In a room full of ice, Mr. Freeze took off his glasses and looked at Qingshui anxiously.

"We have prepared enough condensate to maintain my vital signs. Now we should take Nora with us and head to Midtown."
