41. Valerika's laboratory

ps: There will be two shifts today, but there will still be only one shift tomorrow...... Well, please understand the suffering of those who have to stay up late tonight to watch the game......

Sure enough, Asa's guess was correct, and a candlestick in the upper left corner of the fireplace was the switch, and when he twisted it, the fireplace slowly rose. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Mom...... She's always been more ...... than I thought Wisdom. Serana looked at the mechanism in front of her with a complicated expression, and although it sounded like a compliment, the expression revealed more of a concern about what a shocking secret her mother was hiding.

"Don't be stupid, why do you think so much, just ask in person." Although the words are still in such a frivolous tone, Asa's expression is very gentle at this time, Serana couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook her head helplessly, and spread her hands and said: "It's really sad, I have fallen to the point of asking for comfort like you~~"

"Please, don't use the indecent term 'this kind of goods' when mentioning me, okay......" Asa's smile was very stiff, and the big tic-tac-toe on his forehead made the smile on Serana's face even brighter, and when he saw Asa, he was about to pounce on himself Serana dodged lightly, and then trotted forward, opened the last door and said: "I won't play with you anymore ~ Let's come and see this place ~ ~ Oh! Oh my God! This is for sure! That's where my mom hides. ”

At this time, the door was still blocked by Serana, and Asa couldn't see the situation in the room for the time being, but listening to Serana's tone, she was really shocked. However, Serana looks like an "ice beauty", but inside she is a curious baby, and she is the kind who has no knowledge, and making a fuss is a common thing, but she doesn't care much about it.

But when he looked inside, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this top floor room was really open, not inferior to the chief mage room of Winterhold Academy. Although the decoration inside looks ordinary, the huge mammoth skull in the middle is truly impressive.

Of course, a mammoth skull can't stop Asa, the key is the "software" facilities in this room. From the fact that the old man Ah Ransao wanted to plant an alchemy garden in the room, he knew that he was most proud of the various alchemy materials in his room, but at this time, compared to the alchemy materials placed everywhere in this room, it was really shabby! Void salt, giant's toes, the old man's room can barely find one or two, but in this room there are extremely rare super alchemy raw materials such as the demon heart!

Not only that, but in terms of soul stones, it is also completely compared to Ah Ran, the best thing on this old man's enchantment table is the large soul stone, but Valerika's laboratory not only has extremely eye-catching extra-large souls, but there are also several black soul stones! You must know that this black soul stone is the best of the best soul stones, because only this kind of soul stone can imprison the soul of a human being! (There are few non-human creatures with extra-large souls in the game, and dragon sacrifices, mammoths and the like are all the kind that are difficult to find, so the best soul stone must be a black soul stone, and the one who chooses the white star in the Azura mission is usually for the priestess, right?) )

"Well, I have to say, your mother runs a very complete laboratory." Asa nodded, admiring from the bottom of his heart.

"I didn't know anything about her having a lab. She has a set of alchemy equipment in her studio, but it's still far from here. ”

As a mage, Asa was also deeply attracted by the "treasure" in this room at this moment, and sighed: "Indeed, although I haven't seen the studio you mentioned, I feel that this place is more high-end than my old man's room." It's almost like an old man, and he planted a flower garden of alchemical raw materials in his room. By the way, do you know what she's working on? ”

"Looking at the equipment and materials, it looks like she's going to improve her spells."

"What kind of spell do you think?"

"I don't know. It's certainly not for longevity, it's a waste of time for vampires. Walking over to a long table full of strange materials, Serana pointed to the materials on the table and continued, "I know she's a profound necromancer. She taught me a lot, but I didn't know she had such a plan. Look at these, she must have spent many years collecting these parts. ”

Asa also counted the materials on the long table, including dragon bones, skulls, delicately ground bone powder, troll skulls, and so on. Except for human skulls, none of them are ordinary things, especially dragon bones and delicately ground bone meal, needless to say, dragon bones, as for this delicately ground bone meal, it takes about a hundred parts of bone powder to refine this small bowl of things, in other words, it takes a hundred human bones to make this small bowl of expensive things.

"What is this?" At this time, Serana noticed a spiral-shaped floor on the floor in front of the long table, which was also a rarity, and could be seen as soon as the door was opened, but there were too many treasures around, and the two of them had only now discovered this obvious thing.

Serana circled the pattern around the ground and muttered, "I don't know the meaning of this circle, but it's clearly ...... What it represents. Then he shook his head and said to Asa, "Let's take a look around, we should find clues about her whereabouts." ”

Asa rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "What the hell are we looking for?" Don't look like it's big here, but there's a lot of stuff. "It's easy to say, but I'm blinded.

Serana, apparently noticing that she was not clear, pointed to a place behind Asa and continued, "My mother is meticulous in her research, and her research notes are meticulously recorded. If we can find her notes here, maybe there will be some hints there. "It turned out to be several large bookcases.

……

"Your mother is quite interesting, she actually watched "The Energetic Argonian Maid"! And I saw the third volume. After only a few books, Asa found the "baby". Remember that on the way from Snowman to Isvatayd, there was an abandoned prison, and to the south of it, next to the river, there was a wooden house crushed by trees. The owner of the house had been crushed to death by a tree, and when Asa and Hamia, along with Jane Sara and Lydia, two guards, entered the house to inspect and found that the man was still reading a book before he died. The title of the book is "The Energetic Argonian Maid (Volume 1)", Hamia was curious, took the book and looked at it, and soon threw it out with a blushing face, Asa picked it up and looked at it, good fellow! I didn't expect a "tail warped" to be so yellow! Of course, immediately after that, Hamia beat Asa violently, on the grounds that her eyes were too lewd, just like a beast in heat, which made the little princess instinctively feel a crisis in her chastity.

Serana showed a puzzled expression, and Asa slapped her head, by the way, it was normal to forget that this adult book who had been out of touch with the times for hundreds of thousands of years and did not understand this new era. Then he rolled his eyes again, and the thief smiled: "It's a pity that there is only the third volume here, and you don't have a head or end after reading it, and my brother will take you to start reading the first volume in the future, so that you must be able to understand your mother better~~~"

Although Serana felt that Asa's smile at this time made people want to beat him up, there was nothing strange in what he said, and the book was indeed on her mother's shelf, so it should be okay to read it...... He nodded subconsciously, which made the expression on Asa's face a little more obscene.

"Dowry? Looks like your mother wants to marry you off. "Opusculus Rama Balta Mezamoti" seems to me to be a book about how the first vampire was born. Oh, Serana, come and see if it's this? Asa flipped through several more books, when a red-covered pamphlet came into view, and when he opened it, it seemed to be some experimental notes or something.

"What's the catch?"

Asa raised the pamphlet in her hand, and Serana exclaimed in surprise when she saw it: "That's right! That's it! You've found it! ”

"I just flipped through it, and she mentioned a place called [Soul Stone Mound], she seems to have gone there, do you know what this place is?"

"You don't know the Soul Cairn?" Hearing this, Serana was even more surprised than Asa, who seemed to be unaware of this place as a mage who was quite proficient in necromancy. However, it occurred to me that it was a good thing not to know about this place, so I nodded and said, "I only know what my mother told me about this place." She has her own opinion on the Soul Stone. She believes that after human beings are sucked blood, the souls in their bodies do not actually disappear, but go to the [Soul Stone Mound]. ”

Vampires can't be considered living creatures in the strict sense, their souls are naturally different from ordinary people, and no one knows what the difference is, at this time, listening to Serana's words, Asa also became interested and asked: "This statement is interesting, but why does she care about where the soul goes after being turned into a vampire?" ”

"I don't know much about this, but I know that the [Soul Stone Mound] is a gathering place for powerful beings, and the necromancers provide souls to the stone mound, and in return, they gain power. My mother spent a lot of time trying to get in touch with me directly...... Well, it's the part of the soul that I went to the [Soul Stone Tomb]. If she survives, we can find her. The circle in the middle of the room must be some kind of entrance. If I understand correctly, here's a recipe that should allow us to enter the Soul Stone Tomb safely. ”

"Okay, so what do we need?" Asa didn't know much about it, but he knew what to do now.

"I'll see...... A handful of soul stone shards, some finely ground bone powder, and a little pure Void Salt...... Oh! Damn it! Serana frowned suddenly, and Asa suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
