Chapter 92: The Magic Tower and the Puppet
Chiyo Tachibana was already eager to try, "Honey, let's go up and have a look, maybe we can move all the materials here back home and build a magic tower for me on the farm."
With a wry smile, Lan Jiawei looked at his wife, who was still very childish, "Okay, but follow me, oK?" ”
The inner wall material of the magic tower is something similar to stone, and after asking Ash, I found out that this is a star stone that only exists in the universe, and it is a very precious and rare material, and the curiosity of the three people is like a cat scratching up.
The door to the inner room on the first floor is made of obsidian stone, there is no magic pattern defense here, Lan Jiawei and the others easily pushed open the smooth and new door and walked into the inner room, only to find that this floor seemed to be an apprentice or servant's room, all kinds of simple wooden furniture, making the room where several people were resting a little crowded.
It can be seen that the original people left in a hurry, there are scattered items everywhere, mainly books, Lan Jiawei picked up a book, and found that he couldn't understand the words on it, although they are very similar to the square words of Huaguo, but the font is streamlined and fancy with elements of Latin letters.
"Ash, can you analyze what the text is?" , Lan Jiawei can only turn to the intelligent housekeeper who has traveled in the universe for a long time.
"Uh", Ash let out a human-like surprise for the first time, "Master, this ......, this is the text of the magical planet that I went to with my previous master in the Andromeda constellation, it's really strange, how can it appear on Earth?" ”
Then Ash translated the content of the book, and in the form of a large-screen projection, several people could understand that it turned out to be an apprentice-level magic foundation book similar to that of Mir.
And in the diary of another apprentice, everyone finally found a clue, after Ash's translation, the book reads: "We thought that we could be safe and sound when we came to this blue planet, build cities here, reproduce and continue, and look for intelligent life everywhere on this planet, and after many generations of cultivation, those natives have begun to accept our education, but why has Teacher Neliad always been preoccupied lately, I have a very bad premonition...... do we need that thing again?" ”
After reading it, Lan Jiawei and the three of them looked at each other, and they all thought to themselves: "Is it true that many of our cultures are inherited here?" ”
The first floor has an area of more than 1,800 square meters, and the rooms are all semi-arc structure, and the circular road connects each room, and in the middle of the whole floor is a hall with a staircase leading upward.
Chiyo is sensitive to magical items, but she didn't find anything very good, they were all simple magic jewelry, but they were all included in the ring.
The three of them didn't find anything on the first floor, so they walked to the second floor, this floor is more spectacular, it is the library on the entire floor, probably because they are in a hurry, although most of the books have been moved, but some of them are still left on the shelves, and you can also see the cleverness of the guy who designed this magic tower, the book is just like Lan Jiawei just read it yesterday, there is almost no sign of aging at all.
Chiyo is particularly fond of these books, and after Ash's translation, she knows that most of them are magic books, and although they are all basic things, they can also be used as references. Moreover, this magical civilization seems to pay more attention to alchemy, and the introduction to this aspect is particularly detailed. The others are all books on the history and humanities of their original planet, which are priceless treasures for Lan Jiawei and others, and are extremely valuable for research.
When he walked to the third floor, Chiyo couldn't help but vomit, this floor is estimated to be the alchemist's laboratory, there are many experimental subjects soaked in glass bottles, lifelike, and most of them are specimens of early apes and other animals, disemboweled, it is indeed disgusting, even the mentally resolute Zhu Qing feels uncomfortable.
Asking his wife to wait at the staircase on the upper floor, Lan Jiawei and Zhu Qing, with the help of Xiao Zhi, studied the experimental notes that they didn't have time to take, which recorded the experimental transformation data and records of ancient humans, one of which reads:
"Our experiments have been basically successful, but the brain capacity and usage of the only intelligent creature on this planet has always been the biggest problem, and so far we have only been able to develop a utilization rate of one percent, which will be a prison-like planet, according to this wisdom, it will take at least 50,000 years to slowly evolve and develop to the universe, but the good news is that we have finally implanted the outer skin gene of a marine mammal into the bodies of these natives, so that their skin has lost its hair and become as smooth as ours, Laliel is a flawed guy who thinks one skin tone is too monotonous, so we designed several colors of skin and spread it all over the planet."
Lan Jiawei and Zhu Qing, as well as Chiyo, who couldn't hold back their curiosity and listened to Ash's translation from a distance, all felt a little uncomfortable, their own body inheritance actually came from the transformation of others, although their experiments promoted the civilization of human beings, but using their ancestors as experiments still made several people feel complicated.
Lan Jiawei planned to go back and bury all these specimens, he didn't care about any scientific research, but his inner respect for his ancestors and his conscience prompted him to do so.
Walking on the corridor leading to the fourth floor, Lan Jiawei said to everyone: "These are not simple elemental magicians, but legendary wizards, I have heard relevant rumors on the planet Mir, in the dark age of Mir, when the elemental rules were chaotic, they were mainly wizards, they were different from magicians who absorbed elemental energy, but obtained and cast magic through some strange medium items, such as banshee eyes or other strange things. And most of them are pale, not human, not ghost"
Chiyo wasn't too surprised when he heard this, "My dear, those books you gave me, through my own translation, have seen the relevant historical records, the Mir planet had a battle between wizards and nascent elemental magicians thousands of years ago in your life era, and in the end the wizards were defeated, this can't have anything to do with the rules of the universe, right?" These wizards seem to have fled as well."
Lan Jiawei was also puzzled, "I heard about this by chatting with the mages of the Human Empire, and I haven't paid attention to the book, maybe it's really as you guessed."
Zhu Qing has been following the two of them, listening silently, these are just stories to her, none of them are as important as the lives of Lan Jiawei and his wife, as long as she follows them, she can do her best.
At this time, Lan Jiawei had already opened the stone door on the fourth floor, and Ash's warning voice sounded: "Master, there is a danger signal, pay attention to precautions"
The three of them immediately became alert, Lan Jiawei took out the meteor and put on gloves, Chiyo quickly took out the staff that he had dealt with the magic pattern, and Zhu Qing took out the pair of top-notch daggers from the FBI laboratory.
After walking a few more steps, Lan Jiawei was relieved, thinking: "No wonder I can't find the danger, it turns out that it's not a creature, it's this thing", there are 5 identical bronze puppets more than 3 meters high on the opposite side are moving towards where everyone is, and I don't know what kind of energy is driving, but it is still full of the hideous killing machine of mechanical fighters.
For fear that the puppet would hurt his wife and Zhu Qing, Lan Jiawei couldn't talk to this lifeless machine, and directly shot a series of specially made arrows, but more than ten arrows only made a puppet lose power, and its whole body was cracked and scattered underground.
Chiyo continued to send out a cold grip and ice arrows, freezing a puppet into a large block of ice, Zhu Qing cooperated with her, and continuously stabbed on the frozen puppet, the dagger rubbed against the bronze shell and burst out sparks, strong thermal expansion and contraction is the nemesis of metal, and soon the puppet also collapsed to the ground.
The remaining three puppets began to fire various hidden weapons, and many of them flew towards the crowd with short swords like hidden arrows and small frisbees with sharp edges.
The role of the Elf of Time was manifested, she added a shield of light to everyone, neutralizing most of the hidden weapons, while the other smaller ones were shot down by Lan Jiawei's bow and arrows and Zhu Qing's dagger; At this time, the nature elf sent out a piece of vine man, and entangled all the puppets that were about to come forward.
Soon Lan Jiawei cooperated with his wife and Zhu Qing to eliminate two more, and looking at the last one, Chiyo suddenly said, "My dear, what principle is this made?" I'd love to keep it for a while."
"I've seen the puppets made by the goblins earlier in a dungeon in Mir, basically all of them are magic pattern magic arrays as the core, absorbing the unknown energy of the universe endlessly, you have to study it very simply, I'll control it, the puppet magic arrays I've seen before are on their backs, you open it and take a look"
After speaking, Lan Jiawei put away the bow and arrows, and under the peach hearts of Chiyo and Zhu Qing's eyes, he used all his strength for the first time, grabbed the last puppet entangled by Fujiman and raised it with both arms, and then put it down face down, and said: "It's much worse than the goblin's craftsmanship, and I can only kill one of them when I work together with Lantes when I explore the Mir Underground Palace", he may have forgotten the fact that he had taken the Fountain of Life.
Soon Chiyo found a hidden button on the back of the puppet, and after pressing it gently, the shell of the puppet's entire back was opened, and Lan Jiawei was pressing the puppet's arms with both hands, so he had to signal his wife with his eyes: "Oh, that's it", Chiyo followed her husband's eyes and saw something similar to a computer motherboard, which was depicted by various unknown metal symbols.
Seeing his wife disassembling the magic pattern plate, Lan Jiawei asked Ash, "Ash, can you analyze the structure of this thing?" ”
"Master, it takes a little time, symbols are not a problem, this was when I went to the magic planet of Andromeda, the previous owner bought a similar book and entered it into my database, there are relevant records. The problem now is that these metals come from other spaces in the universe, and we have to find alternatives."
Chiyo quickly disassembled it with the help of Zhu Qing, and the entire puppet collapsed like a deflated ball.
Due to the small capacity of his wife's ring, Lan Jiawei packed this complete puppet into his spatial ring. Then continue to explore what is the place where this level is closely guarded.
A few people turned around and quickly understood, this is where the warehouses of the wizards who used to live are located, and many things have not had time to be moved, this layer is from the trace analysis, it is the passage of the people on the lower floors who directly pass through the upper floor, and they did not stop at all, except for the warehouse keeper who took some things away, everything else was left here intact.
Lan Jiawei and the three of them were pleasantly surprised and began to scavenge, most of them were all kinds of strange ordinary materials collected on different planets used by wizards, such as the feathers of a phoenix, the beard of a black dragon, etc., but they were all priceless treasures now.
It seems that the storekeepers were taking away mainly money, and there was an open lot with a few gold coins and a few small gems scattered on it. All other materials were left in place.
Zhu Qing was pleasantly surprised to find two daggers made of unknown materials, and after cutting them in front of her own daggers, she easily cut her top-grade metal daggers from the FBI laboratory in half without the slightest stagnation. Lan Jiawei looked at her playing and gave a thumbs up, "Good thing"
And Chiyo was like a mouse that fell into a rice tank, not only saw a lot of various metals used for the production of magic patterns, but also found some materials made of magic staffs that should belong to elemental mages, these are all scarce items that the earth does not have, all of which made Lan Jiawei fit into the ring, and the space of the ring that harmed him was very crowded.
Ash laughed like a human: "Master, now you don't have to worry about the source of the metal to make the magic pattern, but it is still recommended to use it carefully, these items are used as little."
