"This window is also included in the magic energy array. If it is not necessary, it is better not to touch the magic energy array here." Angel: "I suggest finding an exit in this building first."
"Of course, it's just a personal suggestion. If you have other ideas, you can put them forward."
Angel is very self-aware. Most of the reasons why he became the team leader is that he knows the location of the wall. In terms of experience in exploring the ruins, he may not even be able to compare with Kal-El. Therefore, he will not
Act decisively, but also listen to the suggestions of teammates...especially the suggestions of a teammate who is very inspired but unaware of it.
Angel looked around. Neither Kael nor Vai dared to speak. The Black Earl, for some unknown reason, did not speak either.
Only Doakes nodded and said: "Although I think if this window is broken, the backlash from the magic energy array will not be big. But I'd better follow your suggestion. Since this building is the stronghold of those demon cultists, maybe there are others here.
More information."
After Doakes finished speaking, he glanced at the stone slab suspended in the air in the distance: "Let me tell you in advance, if you get it here, please give it to me. It is still in Uisu language. Some people should stop deliberately concealing important information.
"
Everyone knew who Doakes was referring to openly and covertly. Although they thought Doakes was right, Doakes' words still made their hearts skip a beat.
This tone of voice is too yin and yang... So, is this a direct confrontation with the Black Earl?
Vai looked at the Black Count carefully, fearing that his master would overreact, but to his surprise, the Black Count was not angry.
The Black Earl just said lightly: "The agreement between Angel and I has been made, I am free to say whatever I want."
That the Black Earl refused did not surprise Doakes. It was just the Black Earl's calm reaction that made him slightly suspicious. But Doakes did not bring it up, but looked at Angel helplessly:
"I don't think you needed to make an agreement with him just now. Look, he's getting proud now."
Angel smiled and said nothing. If they didn't agree to three chapters, the Black Count would come in person, and their exploration would be almost over. Because Angel knew very well that this exploration of the ruins would definitely not avoid the Noah family.
That ancestor - Augustine.
After all, even the alchemical signs that appeared when refining the "key" to the wall were judged by Augustine himself, which is enough to explain everything.
"Since everyone is not opposed to exploring this building first, let's get started." Angel looked towards the corridor ahead: "There is a corridor on this floor, so there must be rooms. Let's take a look at the rooms on this floor first.
See if there are any clues about this place."
Although the corridor was divided into two ends, they did not walk separately. It was not because they were worried that they would be in danger if they separated and they would not have time to support them. It was simply because Doakes was afraid that Earl Black would find some information and not tell them.
Of course, even if the Black Earl followed them and found the information, he was free to tell them whether he wanted to. But at least they knew about it, instead of not knowing what the Black Earl had obtained.
Doakes's thoughts were so obvious that everyone could guess it, and the Black Earl could also see it, but he still didn't say anything, chose a direction with everyone, and started walking.
After three minutes of exploration, they basically understood the structure of this layer.
The whole thing is called "Hui", and the corridors are completely connected. There is a room on each side of this "Hui". However, nothing was found in three of the rooms. It is not that they are completely empty, but that nothing useful can be found.
.
As for the last room, it was said to be a room, but it was actually a hall, which was larger than the other three rooms. At the same time, they also found an upward staircase here.
"There seem to be some marks here, which is a bit strange." The speaker was Kael, who was squatting near a stone wall in the hall.
The material of the stone wall is star-colored stone. Unfortunately, the stone wall is still blank, and the paintings on it have long since disappeared. However, on the lower right side of the stone wall, there are some black and gray spots.
"The mural of the Star Color Stone has disappeared, but there are still marks here, indicating that it was done by latecomers. Moreover, the time should be around a thousand years ago." Angel took a look and saw the clue: "The Star Color Stone
Although it is easy to retain color, not all pigments can retain color on it. At least there must be a trace of extraordinary energy. And this stain does not look like someone deliberately painted it with pigment mixed with extraordinary power."
"So, the only possibility." Doakes found the gap where Angel paused and hurriedly spoke to show his presence: "It can only be that someone has fought here or been injured. Judging from the shape of the scars,
It doesn’t seem like you deliberately stayed here, so the former is more likely?”
"Fighting? Why?" Vai looked at Doakes doubtfully.
Doakes rolled his eyes at Vai: "You have really become a dog these years. Where was the passionate boy back then?"
Vai tilted his head and said, "If you don't tell me, forget it."
After a pause, Vai looked at Angel again, with a slight twinkle in his eyes and a hint of expectation.
Angel understood Vai's eyes, didn't he just want him to explain? But he just didn't understand why his eyes were a little strange.
Angel didn't think much and said: "Because this mark is most likely blood. Whether it is the blood of wizards or monsters, it contains extraordinary energy and can color the star stones."
"The only conditions that can cause blood to appear on the star stone are those mentioned by Doakes."
"As for the blood finally turning into black and gray, based on the texture of this star stone and the exclusion of human care, it can be basically concluded that it took place thousands of years ago. Perhaps around 1,300 to 1,500 years ago.
"
Angel gave another approximate time frame.
This explanation was quite complete, and Vai naturally understood it, and his eyes brightened when he looked at Angel.
"You actually admire this kid, how many times have you met him?" The voice of the Black Earl suddenly came from Vai's heart.
Vai was startled for a moment, scratched his hair, and said: "I don't even have to worship him, I just think that the super-dimensional wizard is very powerful. Especially when he repaired so many magic pattern faults at the same time, it is simply unprecedented."
The Black Earl snorted coldly, but did not continue to speak, because Angel's previous skills in repairing magic pattern faults, not to mention Vai was shocked, even he was a little unbelievable.
I originally thought that the R&D Institute brought Angel in just because he was lucky and almost came into contact with the mysterious class. Now it seems that Angel is fully qualified to become a member of the R&D Institute.
Although he only had a glimpse of Angel's skills just now, the Black Earl had a hunch that Angel is not very good at alchemy now, but the time has not come yet. It shouldn't take long before he will become a blockbuster.
, truly secure his position as a member of the R&D Institute.
Therefore, Vai mentioned this and had some respect for it, even the Black Earl could not say anything.
"Also, the super-dimensional wizards feel very peaceful to get along with. They are the white wizards of the academy." Vai likes the white wizards of the academy very much... In other words, there are not many wizards who don't like the white wizards of the academy.
.
Even though they mocked such people as weaklings, they still trusted the academic white wizards more in their hearts.
Just look at Gandolf, the "Walker of Holy Light". Whether they are wandering wizards, family wizards, dark wizards or other human-like extraordinary beings, they are all very friendly to Gandolf. This master of pharmacy and alchemy
He is the academic white wizard who is very easy to talk to. As long as you give a reasonable reason, he will help you refine potions and only charge material fees. Think about it, an alchemist master only charges material fees to make potions for you.
This is simply a great opportunity.
Therefore, there is a reason why Gandolf is called "Walking Chance".
"Academic white wizard? Humph, do you think that guy Sanders can teach an academic white wizard? Can he tolerate his disciple being an academic white wizard?" the Black Earl snorted coldly.
"Think about it from your perspective. If I were Lord Phantom, I would definitely not want my disciple to be a white wizard. But if this white wizard has talent and skills, I don't think there is any need to stick to principles." Vai: "Just like you, sir,
If a superdimensional wizard becomes your student, will you refuse?"
The Black Earl's throat suddenly choked. When did Vai become so eloquent...
Moreover, he really couldn't refute it.
If there was a real opportunity to bring Angel into his family, how could he refuse?
However, in order to show his majesty, the Black Earl still insisted: "There are no ifs in this world. All assumptions will be caught off guard by sudden variables."
"Whether Angel is an academic white wizard, you can observe for yourself next. I don't think he is a white wizard, or even whether he is an academic. There is a question mark."
After the Black Earl finished speaking, he ignored Vai. However, Vai was not affected by the Black Earl at all. Based on the previous events, it is currently very difficult to undo the little fan's filter.
…
In the hall on this floor, apart from the blood stain on the star stone, nothing else was found. There were some furniture made of extraordinary materials, but... the predecessors did not take them during the sweep, which shows that these things are not worth much if they are taken out.
money.
Since there are no clues in the hall, their only choice now is to continue upstairs.
As he climbed the stairs, Kael rubbed his chin and said, "It's a bit strange. The place we came out should be the basement, this is the first floor, and the one we go up to is the second floor... Where is that door?"
Normally, the exit door would be on the first floor, but they had just walked around the entire corridor and didn't see the exit door at all. Instead, they saw two windows, but these two windows happened to be at both ends of the word "hui", and there were all the windows outside.
Alley, nothing else to be found.
"Does it matter whether there is a door?" Doakes said lazily: "Besides, this is an underground maze. Who said the door must be built like the ground? It must be on the first floor. Maybe the door here is upside down.
Yes, on the top floor."
"Is that so?" Kael was a little skeptical.
"Don't worry about it. There is really no door. I'll build a door." Doakes said, grinning his teeth and rubbing his fists, as if he was going to smash the wall if he disagreed.
No one answered the call. Others didn't want to answer. Kael didn't dare to answer, for fear that the shining red fist would fall on him.
Silently, he continued upstairs.
To be continued...
