Behind the Door
"Yo. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Tia didn't look surprised, and as soon as she watched Lawson walk into the room, the door behind him disappeared.
"How long have you been awake?"
Rosen felt the familiarity and put away his sword.
"Not long after, after walking through a few rooms, but basically didn't find anything valuable, and was still thinking about how to get out, I met you. ”
She sniffed the air, then smiled, revealing her sharp fangs.
"This is supposed to be a twisted space, where time passes slowly, about one-fiftieth the outside, and the number of these rooms seems to be quite large, and it seems that it takes more than time and perseverance to get out of here. ”
"I just met that guy from the Hot Wind Mercenary Regiment. ”
Rosen didn't elaborate, anyway, as long as he is standing here safely now, then the result is quite obvious.
"You didn't meet anyone else?"
"No, it seems like I'm not in the welcome category. ”
Tia said, placing her hand on the cold wall.
"The material of these stones is very special, it has the effect of isolating the senses, and it is also quite resistant to magic, if it is used to imprison the strong people of the bronze rank, it should still be able to maintain for a period of time. ”
Rosen didn't speak, the guy with magic resistance in Tia's mouth had been blasted into scum, and he didn't think that the girl in front of him had nothing to do about the situation at this time.
"Do you know what this place does?"
"I guessed a little, but I didn't confirm it. ”
Tia withdrew her hand and turned to look at Lawson.
"As I said before, the remains of the Chaos Folk were not destroyed, but were sealed by the Rainbow Tower and the Sanctuary, so the question is, where are they sealed?"
"You mean, here?"
Rosen quickly guessed what Tia hadn't said.
Indeed, whether it was the special material of stone or the space here, it all told him that this place was not simply a realm distorted by the magic of chaos.
"Quite possibly. ”
Tia nodded.
"These rooms are traps for those trying to find the remains of the Chaos People, and if you don't understand the doorway, you won't be able to get out of this labyrinth, even if you're strong. ”
"In other words, you already understand the structure here?"
At this time, Rosen had to admire the mage's thinking circuit was different from ordinary people, he boasted that he had the knowledge of two worlds, so his vision was much higher than ordinary people, but for this kind of thinking and logical things, the mage was better at it.
"Almost, you see. ”
Tia raised her hand and pointed behind Lawson, and the door that had disappeared gradually reappeared.
"These doors come up on a regular basis, and what we need to find is the one that leads to the core. ”
"How do you know if there's no trap or something behind the door?"
Lawson hesitated, this method is similar to the lottery, Tia has always won the empty lottery, and he has won the lottery the first time, who knows if they will encounter some kind of monster after opening this door.
"It's simple, look at the markings on the door. ”
Tia glanced at Lawson, then walked to the door.
"Marking?"
Rosen had inspected the doors before, but had not found anything to call them markers.
"Of course, because you're not a mage, these marks don't exist for you. ”
As she spoke, Tia stretched out her hand, and a magic array with a shimmering light appeared in her palm.
Rosen saw that the door gradually changed as the circle shone, periodically radiating a slight magical power that seemed to resonate.
"These doors have a trigger mechanism that can only be activated with a special technique, and according to the frequency of the magic emitted, the doors can be divided into two categories, one means that there is an empty room behind the door, and the other means that there are other things behind the door, such as this door, and there are other things in the room behind it. ”
Tia withdrew her hand, and the door dimmed, turning into an ordinary wooden door.
"There's something else, there's someone else?"
Rosen thought of several possibilities, the best would be to meet Davos or Paul, and the worst would be to meet the monster or Nilva who was set up here to defend here.
"Not necessarily, if there were some items, it would be like this. ”
Tia shook her head.
"It seems that as Lord Erwin, who designed this seal, said, you will never know if you don't open the box. ”
Rosen didn't bother to find out what this familiar phrase meant, but since Tia said that there was something in the next door, he had to be careful.
"Try it. ”
He said, placing his hand on the hilt of the Wolf Knight's greatsword.
Lawson slowly pushed open the wooden door, and stepped into the new room with Tia.
Then they see what the so-called "thing" is.
This is a laboratory.
The reason why Rosen thinks it's a laboratory is because there are bookshelves in one corner of the room, test tubes and beakers on the tabletop, and some food on the side, which seems to be still in use, and there is not much dust.
"Who could be doing the experiments here?"
Rosen was confused again.
"Paul doesn't have any aura of chaos on him, and it seems that he should not have been here. ”
As soon as she rescued Paul, Tia examined him carefully in case something happened.
As she spoke, she approached the table and removed the food and books that had been covered.
"It seems that he is doing an experiment of condensing magic power, and as for the source of magic power, it seems to be these things. ”
She picked up a beaker, which was a thick black mass of substance, and she couldn't tell what the ingredients were.
"Instilling the power of chaos into magical items to cause qualitative change is an interesting experiment. ”
Rosen immediately thought of the Chaos Creations of the Hot Wind Mercenary Group, and it was obvious that those items should also be products infused with the power of Chaos, and they seemed to be inextricably linked to the experiment that Tia was talking about.
But it had been ten years since Nilva and the others had obtained those items, and if they had lived for that long, why didn't the researchers leave here if they could really live that long?
Lawson shook his head, focusing on the books on the shelves.
"The Mathematical Principles of the Philosophy of Magic", "Number Theory", "The Application of Emeidal's Geometry in the Construction of Spells", "The Theory of the Circle of Magic", "The Examination of Major Events in the Capital of Crime", ...... With the exception of a few books on the history of the humanities, most of them were books dealing with magical theories, and Rosen did not know when these theories took shape, so he looked at Tia.
"These are books published in the last hundred years, that is, at least in the last two years, the owner of this room has left or met outsiders......"
Tia swiped her fingers across the bibliography and fell into thought.
But before she could reach a conclusion, a sharp sword had pierced her heart directly from behind.
"Hmm......"
A burst of blood rushed up her throat, and the long sword was menacing, and she was almost defenseless, so it pierced directly through her body, bringing out bright red blood.
"Why ......"
She turned her head, and there seemed to be a little ghost fire in Lawson's visor, and the wolf knight's sword in his hand was the murder weapon that pierced her body.
"Tia, whom I know, is not indifferent to the food in front of her, and has no interest in it at all. ”
Rosen said, turning the sword in his hand, causing blood to gush out.
