Angel followed Midora and walked deeper into the quiet and narrow corridor.
Midora did not tell Angel the reason for calling him here, but told Angel in a mysterious tone and asked him to just follow him.
"Lord Midora, why is the R&D Institute so deserted? Where are the others?" Angel couldn't help but ask after walking a long and quiet road.
"Others? There is usually no one in the R&D Institute. Only when an important item is released, will someone come back." When Midora said this, she sighed slightly: "I really hope that the dean's item can be released as soon as possible."
Perfect and publish it, then those people will definitely come back. Maybe, by then, I will be able to find someone to replace me in the R&D institute."
Angel's head was filled with questions.
In his mind, the status of the R&D Institute should be extremely lofty, a place that countless alchemists are fascinated by. Why did Midora say it with such an obvious sense of disgust?
Midora did not explain why there was helplessness and disgust in her tone, but changed the topic and talked about the members of the R&D Institute.
"Today, there are less than a hundred registered members in the R&D Institute, but many of them have lost contact. They have either died or left this world. In fact, there are only more than thirty people who are still in contact." Midora:
"Actually, the vast majority of these thirty people are like you. They are not from Sky Mechanical City, but from major wizard organizations."
"On weekdays, they are not stationed in Sky Machinery City. Only when the R&D Institute releases new products, they will get wind of it and come over as soon as possible." When Midora said this, she turned to look at
Angel: "Do you know why they came?"
Angel pondered for a moment and replied: "Is it to learn the latest technology?"
"If you want to learn technology, they have already paid attention to it when they started developing this product." Midora smiled and said, "You might as well think about it again."
It's not to learn technology, but to obtain information? Angel hesitated for a moment and said what he wanted to say.
"That's right." Midora nodded: "They are indeed trying to bring this new product's information back to their respective wizard organizations as soon as possible."
Because the things researched by the R&D Institute are basically works that are highly practical and versatile and difficult to replace. For the wizard organization, they will naturally come to inquire about the information as soon as possible. If it is useful to them,
Then you can purchase it in advance.
Just like every stargazing day in Crown Star Church, why do the prophecy wizards who are usually scattered in major organizations gather together to get the latest information?
"You should now understand why the area where the Savage Cave is located is called the Alchemy Desert, right?"
"Because there are no members of the R&D Institute in the Savage Cave?" Angel replied.
"That's right. In other words, it didn't exist before, but it exists now." Midora glanced at Angel with a hint.
Angel didn't know what to say. According to Midora, he would become the mouthpiece between the Savage Cave and the R&D Institute in the future? Or should I say, the middleman of information media? This always feels a bit...
"Do you think it will be troublesome? If it is really troublesome, all the alchemist masters will come back specially?" Midora saw through Angel's thoughts at a glance and said with a smile: "You will know when the time comes.
"
The value of knowledge, the lucrative benefits, and the exchange of favors, none of which will make anyone regret it.
They were chatting and walking when they came to a hall.
This hall is empty, except for a mechanical door at the end. There is only a stage-like height in the middle, but there is no one on the stage, but a display box.
The appearance is similar to the display box Angel saw before, but there is one difference
Extremely complicated! Extremely luxurious!
Just looking at the materials used to make the display box, Angel could see several extremely rare materials with his naked eyes. Not to mention, there was a magic energy array and inscriptions on the display box.
In addition, the display box is located at the center of a ceremonial stage, which shows that it is under the protection of an unknown ritual.
With such strict precautions, I wonder how precious the items in the display box will be?
Angel couldn't help but look.
But no matter which angle he looked at, it was empty and there were no items inside.
"Is it something that requires a special state to be observed?" Angel couldn't help but look at Midora, hoping to get an explanation from him.
However, when Angel looked at Midora, he realized that he was also looking at the only display box, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"There is...a display box reserved for a certain mysterious object."
"Mysterious object?" Angel was full of surprise: "You mean, someone has ever refined a mysterious object?"
Midora was silent for a moment and nodded: "Although it was refined, the consequences are not so good."
Midora quietly walked towards the display box. When he approached the ritual circle, a light screen appeared out of thin air. There was a row of words written on the light screen: "Name: Unknown (Box of Reincarnation), Effect: Unknown, Creation"
Author: Ivo Spruit
Angel had never heard of Ivo Spruit. He originally wanted to get the answer from Midora, but Midora remained silent about the person and the matter.
Midora was obviously unwilling to talk more, and just said lightly: "Although this mysterious thing is not here, sometimes it may not be a pity to leave it behind. Let's go, you will naturally know about him in the future, and it is useless to listen now."
Angel was not the one to break the pot and ask the truth, but he was a little curious. An alchemist who had reached the mysterious realm should be very famous. Why not only had he not heard of it, but Midora seemed unwilling to do so.
How much can we say about this?
Shaking his head, suppressing doubts in his heart, Angel continued to follow Midora.
Finally, they stopped in front of the only mechanical door in the hall. Midora said: "Did you see an oval building on the top of the R&D Institute's tower outside?"
Angel nodded: "Could it be that building behind the door?"
Midora: "That's right. Haven't you always been curious, why is it all display boxes when it's obviously a research and development institute? The answer is behind the door."
Midora motioned to Angel to take out the access card.
With the appearance of the access card, the door seemed to come alive, and all the metal turned into tentacles, twisting and opening a passage.
A dazzling light emitted from behind the passage.
When his eyes gradually adapted to the light, Angel looked into the passage. His eyes suddenly widened and his pupils shrank suddenly!
"How is it possible?! This is..."
A city?!
What appeared in front of Angel was a steel city controlled by machinery!
While Angel was watching this scene in shock, a little bird fluttered out of the door and hovered in front of Angel.
Upon closer inspection, this little bird was not a living thing at all, but a mechanical bird made of brass, with its wings shining with metallic luster and its eyes inlaid with pigeon blood rubies.
"Fantasy Mechanical City has a rare new blood, bring him in." A voice with a lazy tone came from the mouth of the mechanical bird.
After the mechanical bird said this, it flapped its wings and flew into the passage, stopping on a high steel pillar.
Midora said to Angel: "Let's go, someone has been looking forward to your arrival."
Someone? Who?
Angel hadn't come back to his senses yet, and he looked at Midora in confusion. Midora smiled mysteriously at him, and without saying a word, he took the lead and stepped into this veritable fantasy mechanical city.
After Angel followed Midora into the passage, he discovered that it was a city built in a huge steel space, layered on top of each other. All the places he thought were houses were filled with gear machinery and unknown steam tools.
"This is a fantasy mechanical city. Whether it's the appearance or the name, it's someone's bad taste."
Before Midora finished speaking, the mechanical bird on the high steel pillar opened its mouth and said: "What is bad taste? It is a preference with a strong personal color. Don't you think it corresponds to the Sky Mechanical City?"
Midora ignored the mechanical bird and continued walking up the metal stairs with Angel: "Actually, to put it bluntly, this is the real R&D institute, or in other words, R&D laboratory."
"Yes, there are large public laboratories here, as well as separate laboratories for all members of the R&D Institute." This time the speaker was a kitten half-covered in machinery, still sitting on the high steel pillar, and the voice was still the same.
