Chapter 13: The Adventure of the Ancient House
Lulunaka completely destroyed the gate that had been closed by plants for hundreds of years, where parasites and iron shelves had formed one. The thorny, misshapen vegetation had been burned to the ground, and the iron door had been melted into a hole just enough for people to get in and out. Junia and Jessica, along with Gendina with a small package on her back, walked over to her, but Lulunaka was not the first to enter, but crouched to the side, fiddling with the powerful device she was carrying.
Lulunaka saw the three of them approaching and waved at them, "You guys go in first, I'm going to have to deal with this thing, or it will be fun to explode." β
Jessica walked half a step into the burned hole, looked around, and stepped in, "There's no smell of danger, I'll go in first." As she walked in, Gendina followed, and trotted alongβit seemed worse to stay with the fire-breathing, incredibly hot thing Lulunaka was carrying than an unknown place. "Don't get too close to her, the thing she's carrying has exploded, maybe it will explode again later!"
In the end, Junia stayed with Lulunaka. His gaze fell on the fully roasted iron doors, the iron frames that had been roasted to a charred color, covered with a black substance like oil, and the flames on which were not extinguished, sustaining their own weaker and weaker lives.
"No, what you're trying to make is just not reliable. Lulunaka took off her backpack and tossed it aside. The leather backpack turned red on the surface, as if it had been baked, and it was very hot, and only a fool would touch such a hot thing. "The performance is unstable, and the security measures are completely devoid...... It's a hassle to use, and it's a complete failure. β
Lulunaka sighed and tossed the iron pipe aside. Junia noticed that the two slender iron pipes were no longer what they had been at the beginning. The tip of the iron pipe melted into a lump, which was a large shortening, and completely turned into two rough iron lump sticks, which were not suitable for use as weapons. The worst thing is that the iron pipe is also burned red, and there is a black liquid constantly oozing out, which makes people's scalp tingle when they look at it, and the torture is nothing more than this when you hold such a thing in your hand.
Lulunaka was a little depressed, and this look was not something that Junia had never seen before. In the past, she was like this, making some strange things, and when it was confirmed as a failure, she would look like she is today, looking very helpless.
But in the failed product, there will be two types of valueless and dangerous. And the fire-breathing device used by Lulunaka is a dangerous good.
Junia reached out and touched the hot door, the temperature was very high, and he had some black substance between his fingers. If it's just a high temperature, it won't hurt Junia, it's just a little hot. He pulled the black substance into a line between his fingers, and then watched the dripping fall to the ground, "What did you use to make the flames burn so amazingly?"
"Some animal fats...... There are also some monster grease bars, mixed with a lot of things, but most of them are a mixture of various animals and monsters, so that the sprayed flames can be more viscous. In fact, there has been such a burning formula for a long time, but no one has been able to make it portable. β
Junia was silent for a moment before she spoke, "If this is used in war......
He didn't continue, but Lulunaka knew what he meant. "What if it were used in war? It's an interesting development. She smiled, "But I can't see such a trend for the time being, after all, there are a lot of mages everywhere, isn't it just to prepare for war, start war, and prevent war? β
Lulunaka showed her hands to Junia, who saw a pair of palms that had turned black, "If ordinary people use this, their hands will be gone, and I don't think this is suitable for mass production...... At least not for now. β
Lulunaka's palms were not only burned, but even roasted to the color of charcoal, which looked terrifying. Junia frowned, reached out and grabbed Lulunaka's hand, pulling her up from the ground. "If you want to live like a human, you have to look at least a human being, not a grinning with a pair of burned hands. β
"Who cares if I look like a person in a place like this where I can't even see a human figure?" Lulunaka laughed, clapping her hands on her skirt, leaving black handprints one after another. "Maybe that's not right, maybe there are really one or two figures in this place...... It's just going to be weirder. β
As the two entered the manor, Lulunaka said this, and her eyes fell on the ancient manor in front of her. After stepping through the melted iron door, the temperature inside seemed to plummet several degrees, and there was a faint mist in the air. The buildings of this manor, not far in front of them, could not be seen in the fog, but the outlines could be seen. It's not a castle, but it's not an ordinary mansion, it looks more like a hybrid of the two.
In these long centuries, Lulunaka and Junia, who entered as the third and fourth people, joined up with Gendina and Jessica. Zendina and Jessica didn't step into the building in front of them casually, waiting for Lulunaka and Junia on the sidelines. However, Jessica is doing some simple reconnaissance, putting a reconnaissance spell into the mansion, so that the spell with the shape can enter it first. But it didn't seem to be going well, at least Jessica's face was not happy, full of trouble.
"It's too vague, is it disturbed by something?" Jessica muttered to herself, she had already cast the third reconnaissance spell, but each time she didn't get anything, she couldn't see what was inside the mansion, she couldn't even see where the stairs were, only a gray-black world.
"Want to know what's inside, won't it be clear once you're inside?" Lulunaka nudged Jessica's back, causing her to interrupt the spell, "Don't rely on spells for everything, you're not a traditional mage, don't you still have this?" Lulunaka touched her waist, and Jessica's waist was hung with her favorite and skilled weapon. She wields a rapier, which may be more decorative than a weapon in combat, but for her, it's more than that.
"Let's have a great time of adventure, guys. The hosts here don't necessarily welcome us, but if a dead man wants to stop us, that's impossible. Lulunaka pulled out a lantern out of nowhere, walked towards the door of the mansion, and with a push of her hand, half of the door was pushed open, and she casually walked in.
