Click! Click! Tick! Tick!

When the iron gate in front of Ye Gu and Luo Wu gradually opened, in addition to the sound of the gears that controlled it, the sound of machinery, accompanied by the black and purple shining magic, densely reached the ears of the two of them in an instant.

Luo Wuru seemed to have been accustomed to it for a long time, gathering the faint green magic source power in his hand, and with the help of the light it formed, he groped for something in the darkness and depth.

Woo——————

A violent tinnitus sounded through these cacophony of mechanical formations, gradually covering the other sounds in Ye Gu's mind, and became the mainstream of his ears for a short time.

"Ah, it's so noisy!" Ye Gu cried out covering his ears.

These sounds, as if concentrated in one place at this time, were like mechanical thorns, starting from his eardrum and stabbing straight into the depths of his brain.

At the same time, not only his brain, but also his forehead, his eyes, and his heart, were all pierced by sound back and forth in the darkness, and there was not a moment of peace.

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, the surrounding mechanical sounds vanished entirely, revealing a chilling darkness that was replaced by a few bright lights hanging overhead.

"My lord, what's wrong with you, do you need me to help you?" Luo Wu said with concern to Ye Gu in front of the switch not far away.

At this time, Ye Gu's face was covered with sweat, and his ears were tightly covered by his hands. The half-crouched body trembled and trembled for some reason. Like a beast deep into an ice cellar, it is almost impossible to control its body.

"My lord?" Luo Wu shouted again.

With the shouting, he had to light his hands and feet and slowly approached in the direction of Ye Gu.

After all, there are many people who have entered the Luo family's military station, and in the past few decades, some have been surprised, some are surprised, some are puzzled, and some are even disdainful, but such as Ye Gu, who is about to collapse, Luo Wu is the first time to see it. Even if some of the above emotions are told by people from the Luo family's predecessors.

"My lord!" Luo Wu detoured behind Ye Gu and continued to shout, under the shaking light, he chose to reach out and pat Ye Gu's back.

This shot immediately pulled Ye Gu back from his unknown terrifying thoughts and returned to the actual military underground.

"What's wrong?" Ye Gu replied gasping, he didn't notice, his cheeks were covered with sweat at this time, and his right hand was shaking uncontrollably.

"Are you feeling unwell, my lord?"

"No, it's not. It may be that I was too tired from fighting before, and I felt a little uncomfortable hearing these mechanical sounds. Ye Gu told the truth.

"Haha, my lord, there are many fears of these machines, and you are the first to fear the sound. Luo Wu said with a smile.

"Whew-" Seeing Luo Wu's relaxed expression, Ye Gu got up and breathed a long sigh of relief, trying to alleviate the fear brought by the previous machine.

After feeling his body return to normal slightly, Ye Gu pointed to the surrounding machinery and asked, "By the way, how long have these machines been here? What are they? If the dragon clan reappears, will they be afraid of these machines?"

"These machines have been produced since before the era of imperial steam thirty years ago, and they are basically the work of mechanics from the southern capital. Personally, if the dragons reappear, they will surely be afraid of these machines from the soul. As for what? We still have a lot of time, so adults can come with me and check it out. Luo Wu said, taking two steps forward.

After his emotions calmed down and the light was full, Ye Gu had the opportunity to carefully look around the underground space of the Luo family's military station.

Following Luo Wu's guidance, Ye Gu followed closely and at the same time, he also had an understanding of the general environment in this space.

The small space that I entered just now did not have many stairs, and it was a closed suspension ladder from the ground of Luo's house to the underground. After entering the suspension ladder, under the action of machinery, the suspension ladder and the people in the quadrangular space are pulled vertically by the rope. At the end of the final fall is this huge underground space filled with steam and magic.

"This place can actually be called Nandu Laboratory. It took our Luo family ten years to build. Presumably, the young lady once told the adults that the style of our Luo family is to spend a long time in various parts of the empire, but also to build a complete underground system. As for why this is so, probably our patriarch knows. Luo Wu stepped on the echoing footsteps and introduced the history of the laboratory to Ye Gu.

"You see, this giant clock is the product of a mechanic's spare time. The way Westerners keep time is different from our Flame Empire. If you use a sundial, oh, I believe no one in the imperial capital will use this either. If it is used, it is generally measured in twelve hours. But Westerners are different, they regard the day as 24 hours, one hour and sixty minutes, and one minute and sixty seconds. Through the precision operation of the machine, this thing can guarantee that the error is within one second. ”

Luo Wu said, leading Ye Gu to the huge clock that was two people high.

The clock has a circular structure, with the hour, minute, and second hands moving in a regular manner, and in the present and its quietness, Ye Gu can faintly hear the subtle sounds of the internal machinery.

Compared with the mechanical sound just now, this sound is actually the same!

"It's really amazing! does it have a small one?" Ye Gu asked in amazement.

"There should, but I don't have one. Luo Heng replied with his hands spread.

In the afterglow of Ye Gu's observation of the clock, a glimmer of light flashed among a pile of mechanical objects, which he keenly captured.

"What's that?" Ye Gu asked, striding to the side.

"Is this it? Wow, it's pretty heavy. Luo Wu said, laboriously taking out the object that Ye Gu pointed to from the pile of scrap metal.

The object is slightly smaller than Yegu's cannon, but it resembles the center of the cannon's long barrel, and it emits a hint of light, which is what attracts Yegu.

"yes, it doesn't look like a normal mechanical weapon. Ye Gu said.

"Well, it's a flame gun. It can emit continuous flames, and the center is powered by a stone with magical power found near the Imperial Volcano. As long as you pull the trap, it can be fired. Luo Wu said that he was about to pull the mechanism to demonstrate for Ye Gu.

"No, there's no need to demonstrate, let's go watch "Dragon" first. I haven't been able to let go of Lin Hai and Lingxu's words for the past two days, and I want to see what this "Dragon Book" is. ”

"Alright, please come with me, my lordship. With that, Luo Wu put the flame gun back in its place and walked straight forward along the corridor of the laboratory.

After walking for a distance of more than a hundred meters, at the end of this corridor-like laboratory, an iron gate appeared again in front of Ye Gu and Luo Wu.

Different from the previous one, this time the gate is no longer carved with the totem of the Luo family, but the flame and dragon representing the imperial family.

Although there were doubts about this decoration, Ye Gu didn't want to be curious about anything anymore. If he is overly curious about these unimportant things that have little to do with his purpose and delay time, I am afraid that when the dragons are all resurrected, they will still remain in Nandu.

Click, click, boom!

Luo Wu inserted, twisted, and rotated the key in his hand, and then opened the door.

After this series of skillful movements, a bright purple light is particularly eye-catching in contrast to the external space that does not appear bright.

After following Luo Wu into the iron gate, Ye Gu looked a little disappointed. He thought that after the huge and long underground laboratory would be a larger, empty space, but in reality, this space was only the size of the bedroom where he lived in the imperial capital.

It's as if there was no more space to be set up here, and a place was forcibly set up.

And in this small space, there are no other furnishings other than an iron door and a booth in the center.

"This is "Dragonborn". Luo Wu pointed to the source of the purple and said.

"This is the "Dragon Book" that Lin Hai and Lingxu wanted, can I flip through it?" Ye Gu asked as he stared at the booth in front of him.

"Absolutely. But my lord, don't you want to know how we got our hands on it?" said Luo Wu with a strange smile.

"I'd love to find out. ”

In fact, as far as the "Dragon Book" itself is concerned, most of his content descriptions may be based on the history of the Dragon Era. With the dragon yuan as the unit, one small story after another is connected. It was originally created by an unknown Archaeologist of the Empire. It is said that this demon source master has the magic source power that is connected to the dragon clan, and can shuttle between the dragon realm and reality at will and without constraints. There was a time when "Dragon Book" and "Dark Book" were both sleeping in the extremely cold realm of the palace of the northern cold country. ”

"Northern Cold Country, how did you get to my Flame Empire?" Ye Gu wondered.

"The northern cold country was mired in civil strife fifty years ago. Their palace was in ruins due to the war. Therefore, the "Secret Book", which recounts the ancient wars and darkness, has been dedicated to the hands of our old emperors of the previous generation through many ways. And "Dragon Book" was lost in the people of the empire, and it was also a kind of fate and coincidence that it was obtained by our Luo family. ”

"The appearance of these two books is a kind of fate. Ye Gu said with emotion.

"Yes, it may be that our empire itself has a relationship with the dragons. In short, it was not all smooth sailing for us to hold "Dragon Book". In fact, a month ago, the laboratory here was broken into by an unknown group of people, and "Dragon Book" was also stolen by them. Luckily, after the battle between the Lord and the dragon, we found it in the Consulate after the water receded. Our patriarch guessed that it might have been the Wu family who stole it. In the end, Luo Heng was a little angry.

"Wu family, I know, one of the four major families of the empire, has the same status as the Lin family and your Luo family. ”

"But what you don't know is that they are now completely in refuge with the Lin family. Wu Li is the lackey of the Lin family, otherwise he wouldn't have come to us in "Dragon Book". ”

Feeling that his emotions were a little too angry, and he actually spat out fragrant mouths, Luo Wu sorted out his emotions for a while, and then said: "But these are not important. "Dragon Book" is in our hands, and this is the most important thing. Remember a philosopher in the empire who said, "Seize the present, and you will seize the future." ”

"yes, that's true. Ye Gu said with a smile.

"Then can I flip through the Dragon Book now?" asked Ye Gu, staring at the glowing purple booth.

"Of course, sir. However, there is a limit to anyone who wants to view Dragonbook, so I'd better tell you first. ”

"What restrictions?"

"Everyone's magic source power is different, and the chapters that can be seen are different each time they flip through, and one person can only view two chapters at a time. After each flip through it, there will be seven days apart after the same person's magic source power is injected before the next time you can check it. However, one can read something different every time you look at it. I'll take it down for you and read it. ”

After that, Luo Wu stepped forward quickly, his hands emitted a green magic source power, and under the influence of the light of the magic source power, the "Dragon Book" that was originally suspended in mid-air instantly fell to the stand, and the intense purple magic source power that was originally emitted also dissipated a lot in an instant.

"My lord, try it and see what you can read?" Luo Wu said, handing the "Dragon Book" that still had some purple light left and had some warmth to Ye Gu.

"Infused with demonic source power?" Ye Gu said in a low voice.

After taking over the "Dragon Book", Ye Gu used his consciousness to gather the magic source power of his own flames between his hands.

It was faster than he expected, and almost instantly, the fiery red magic power flowed down his hands into the Dragon's Book, a thick book with dragons carved on the cover.

A moment later, the intense fiery red replaced the previous purple, and the "Dragon Book" gradually suspended in the air under the rendering of this demonic source power, and the pages above it were also waving rapidly.

After a few minutes, the page stopped turning and remained in a page where pictures and words were intertwined.

Ye Gu immediately took the "Dragon Book" to check, but except for the Arabic numerals on the first page of each text, the other Western-style characters composed of letters made this imperial general who had used imperial hieroglyphics all year round feel strange and helpless.
