The road is still the dark corridor, and the door is still the iron gate of Proverbs.

At the end of the underground hall, Huggins stands in front of a closed iron-clad door and removes a strange key from his belt, opening a new world for Todd.

The hand-polished floor of "Five Lotus Red" granite covers the entire room, and four huge marble slab tables are placed in the center of the room, on which are placed tools such as iron frames, asbestos nets, alcohol lamps, beakers, test tubes, gas collection cylinders, reagent bottles, mortars, etc., although the alcohol has long been volatilized, and the iron mesh has long been rusted, but the long-term sealing makes these objects look at least not damaged.

Three cedar glass cabinets sit side by side against the wall, and inside are various bottles and jars, some containing specimens soaked in liquid, some containing unknown dry powder, and some with broken seals and even fungus and mildew. With the torch in Edgar's hand, Todd scrutinized the faded markings on the jars, removing the difficult symbolic symbols, and leaving the Latin characters to describe things he had never heard of.

A cloth circle was hung on the wall directly opposite the gate, depicting an octagonal pattern resembling a magic circle, with water, earth, fire, and wind in the south, south, west, and northeast, and cold, dry, hot, and wet in the southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast.

The apprentice monk stood in the center of the room, turned his steps, looked at the vast room of nearly two hundred square meters underground, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he really didn't expect to see such a medieval chemistry laboratory in such a place.

Seeing the satisfied look on the boy's face, Huggins raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You think this is the end?" I guarantee you'll be shocked when you see the next one!"

The man walked to the end of the room, opened a dark compartment in the wall with his hand, grabbed a handcrank handle, and carefully turned it with force.

From the ceiling of the basement came the sound of gears spinning and shafts rolling.

After a few moments, a huge natural crack slowly cracked in the dim roof rock wall. The noon sun passes through the many bronze mirrors and glazed stones installed above the cracks, using the principle of light reflection and scattering, instantly illuminating the whole room transparently and brightly, and fresh air also slowly flows in from above, driving away the dirt and dullness in the closed environment, making people feel cool and relaxed.

"Groove ......" (Chinese)

Todd raised his head and opened his eyes, his mouth wide open, and he couldn't help but praise as he thought, "The person who designed such a room must not only be proficient in alchemy, basic chemistry, and physiology, but also in engineering, optics, and mechanics. Such a person must be a genius......

The intoxicated expression on the apprentice's face gave Huggins great psychological satisfaction.

Throwing the key to Todd, the man whistled to the room, and then said, "It took us a lot of effort to open this room, and I wanted to take these things out and sell them......"

"No way!"

Without thinking about it in his head, he opened his mouth and directly expressed his opposition. When the boy came back to his senses and saw the narrow expression on the other party's face, he laughed embarrassedly.

The Slavic man patted him on the shoulder: "Then it occurred to me that such a place might be able to discover its true value." ”

"This is the best gift I've ever received in my life......"

Todd looked into the other party's eyes, opened his arms, pursed his lips and said sincerely.

Huggins, who was wearing gloves, raised his hands, took two steps back, shook his head and said, "Hug is free, I'll leave time for you and this room." ”

The man who was going to turn around and leave with Edgar turned around and saw little Jerry who was staying by Todd's side with a curious face, sighed, walked over and grabbed the other party's clothes, pulled him out, and said to himself: "Don't join in the fun here, you kid! Don't forget, it's been three days since you last went crazy, and honestly follow us to soak in cold water!"

Looking at the tall young man with a reluctant face that said pleading words in his mouth, Todd shook his head helplessly.

Since the last attack, he and Huggins have developed a "stress relief plan" for Jerry Jr.:

Every time he went berserk, he immersed his body in cold water. Low temperatures cause the parasite to move less quickly, which slows down adrenaline emissions. Although the total amount of emissions remains the same and the emission time becomes longer, the pain of the body will be greatly reduced, and there will be no mental collapse.

Both understand that this solution is a palliative solution, but at least the best option at the moment.

After sending off the group of three, Todd closed the door and excitedly came to the room, touching here and looking there.

Soon, several places caught his attention.

One is the experimental glassware, which is different from modern glass technology, all the glassware has a metallic luster, and some large utensils have some strange words on the bottle mouth, a bit like Arabic characters.

One is the powder in the jars in the cupboard, some of which look at the shape and smell, and Todd can probably guess what it is, such as calcite (calcium carbonate), obsidian (silicon dioxide), cassiterite (tin oxide), alum (potassium aluminum sulfate), etc., and some are unknown.

The last one is the strange specimens, some of which can be seen to be animal tissue, some of which resemble the rhizomes of plants, and some of which resemble mutated organs of humanoids.

Suppressing his curiosity for a moment, Todd thought that the most important task at the moment was not to identify objects.

The apprentice felt the sticky floor under his feet, touched the thick accumulation of dust on the stone table, and couldn't help but think of a phrase that had often hung on the wall in the laboratory in his previous life.

"Hygiene is everyone's responsibility!"

Fetching mops and rags from the storage room in the underground hall, and carrying the barrel to the underground river to fill the water, Todd rolled up his sleeves and began a complete cleaning of the laboratory, which had not been set foot in for many years.

Mop the floor, wipe the stone table until it is reflective, wipe the bottles and cans shiny and transparent, buckets of black dirty water are carried out of the room, and baskets of useless waste are poured out of the room.

Hours passed.

The light cast by the zenith slowly turns golden, indicating that even if the day is over, the night will soon come.

Todd poured the last bucket of sewage into the ground deep in the aisle outside the door. When he returned to the experimental room, he looked at the room with a bright window and nodded with satisfaction in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Maybe it's a bit ridiculous to think like this, but this may be the starting point for me to live and create legends in this other world in the future......

The boy shook the handle and closed the crack in the roof. Reluctantly closed the door, and took one last look at everything in the room before leaving, thinking to himself.
