(Make up for yesterday's.,Special thanks to "Oh He" has been active support and reward ^^ Recently, I've been busy, please forgive me if you are negligent.) ļ¼
And so it was.
Xia Lan stared at the stairs of the underground cave entrance, breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, and only after his perception detected that there was nothing unusual in the cave entrance, he slowly walked towards the bottom of the stairs.
When he didn't take a few steps down the stairs, the walls of the wide passage suddenly lit up with bright lights, as if they were specifically guiding the road ahead, similar to this kind of underground passage arrangement Xia Lan had seen a lot, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Walking down the stairs for a long time, until the eyes lit up, a spacious and bright real yĆ n room came into view, a clean and tidy real yĆ n room was placed in a silver-white giant desk, on which you could see carefully arranged alchemy utensils everywhere, there was a ventilation duct above the far wall, and the propeller-like fan blades were constantly rotating to make a slight wind sound.
Xia Lan only glanced at the alchemy desk, and then turned her attention to the bookcase and desk in the real room.
He is not Winnie, if she saw the things on the alchemy table, she might have rushed up with her eyes shining up, what he needed was research materials, and research materials could not be placed on the alchemy table.
"Miss, why are you here?"
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded silently behind Xia Lan.
Xia Lan was taken aback, because his perception did not detect the slightest breath of the arrival!
"I encountered a problem in an academic research, so I planned to look up my father's latest research materials to see if there were any solutions that could be used as a reference." Xia Lan's face did not change, and replied calmly.
"I see, all the materials of the adults are in the bookshelf. Miss, you can browse as much as you like. The voice behind him said.
Xia Lan nodded. Pretending to be casual, he came to the bookshelf and searched carefully. His eyes glanced at the person behind him without leaving a trace, and only then did he see the other person's appearance slightly.
Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be an old man who looked ordinary on the outside, without the slightest aura of strength on his body, he was holding a book in his hand and flipping it, his eyes kept on the pages, as if he was ignoring Xia Lan.
How exactly did he come about? Why didn't the senses detect his breath?
With such doubts, the vigilance in Xia Lan's heart became heavier and heavier.
"There doesn't seem to be any of my father's latest research here, do you know where my father put it?" Xia Lan decided to say something to test the old man's details.
"The latest research? Which one are you talking about, Miss? The old man raised his head slightly. Half-squinted cloudy eyes looked at Xia Landao.
"Father's presentation at the time of the academic exchange in Minas." Xia Lan said quietly.
"Oh...... You're talking about that document, which Master Magnison took with him when he went out. The old man thought for a while and suddenly realized.
What the? The data was taken away?
Xia Lan's heart was not calm all of a sudden.
"Didn't my father leave a backup?" Xia Lan then asked.
"I remember that the Lord seems to have left the original information, but it's just ......" The old man stared at Xia Lan and said, "Why is the eldest lady in such a hurry to ask for this information, maybe it would be more convenient to wait until Lord Magnison returns." ā
"I ...... I just wanted to surprise my father. Xia Lan was silent for a moment.
"It seems that you have made new progress in academic research, Miss?" The old man was surprised.
"Yes, but I'm stuck on the last important argument question, so ......," Charan pursed her lips.
"In that case, I'll help you find it."
The old man nodded, closed the book in his hand, and then slowly walked to another bookshelf and began to flip through the information on it, and after a while. I saw him walking up to Xia Lan with a stack of texts and saying, "These are all academic texts that Master Magnison researched a few days ago, but the content of the materials recorded in them is too scattered. I'm afraid that you need to sort it out slowly before you can figure out the specific research content of the information. ā
"Thank you."
Xia Lan reached out and hugged the information, nodded and thanked him.
"It's the first time I've seen you so polite, Miss." The old man smiled slightly.
With the information in hand, even if it was the original information, Xia Lan decided to leave immediately, besides, for some reason, there was always something about the old man that he felt strange and dangerous.
After Xia Lan said goodbye politely, the old man stayed in the real yĆ n room and watched him leave, until Xia Lan's figure disappeared in the passage stairs, and the old man suddenly sighed lightly.
"To be a man, you must always have a bottom line of conscience......"
ā¦ā¦
It was difficult to infiltrate, and it was easy to leave, and Xia Lanshun, who put the information into the Void Ring, left Magnitson's villa, until the next day, he came to the Alchemy Association to find Baird, and handed over most of the information in the Void Ring to Baird for verification and verification.
Baird looked at it carefully, and his face became heavier and heavier as time passed, and after he had read all the information, he immediately asked Xia Lan, "The information is not complete!" ā
"Yes! Because I still have some of the information in my hands. "Charland." When you give me the potions I need, the final information will be delivered. ā
Baird stared at Xia Lan for a while, and after a long time, he said with a gloomy face, "Come here next week and take it along with that woman's potion!" ā
"I want to ask one thing, is this information really okay?" Thinking that this information was the original material after all, Xia Lan asked like this.
"You know what?! Although the records in this document are scattered, the direction and content of the research have been clarified, and many problems that I have not understood have been solved! I really didn't expect that Magnison and they would study it to this point! Baird said in a low voice. If I don't listen to your advice and forcibly disclose Magnison's theft of my academic research, I'm afraid I will end up ruined! After all, they have greatly surpassed me in the progress of this academic research, and I have no ability to argue such ironclad facts! ā
Xia Lan was silent, he didn't expect that even the original materials could inspire Baird so much, could this be the reason why they were masters? He didn't know, but the old man in the real room on the ground floor of Magnison's villa always came to his mind inexplicably.
Who is he?
"Baird, last night I met a very strange person when I sneaked into the real room of Magnison's villa to steal information." Xia Lan couldn't contain the doubts in her heart and asked Baird, who was familiar with Magnison, hoping to know some answers from him.
"Who?" Baird frowned.
As he spoke, Xia Lan carefully portrayed the image of the other party.
Baird was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "You don't have to take this matter to heart. ā
"Huh?"
"I kind of know who he is."
"Who is he?"
"Magnison's mentor back then!" (To be continued......)
