Chapter 168: A Threat Hidden in the Dark
The night was getting darker, and standing beside this huge pit, Kanin was still waiting, how long had he been waiting? Only he and Clarence knew that although Clarence still hadn't appeared after all this time, Canin stood in a thick coat and waited in the biting night wind as if he had expected him to come.
"I've been waiting."
To the frustration of all Canin's opponents, he had to admit that his judgment was surprisingly accurate every time, even in the absence of any so-called key evidence, this time his judgment was no exception, and after waiting for several hours, Clarence, who did not know what he had done during the period, finally appeared, and he stood quietly at a distance from Canin, and whispered to him.
"It's nothing, but since you're here, it means you're willing to help me, right?"
Canin didn't know that someone was quietly approaching him, until Clarence spoke, he didn't know who this person was, although his body had recovered, but the disordered magic in his body still made him unable to use magic normally, he was completely isolated at this time at the weakest moment, if Clarence chose to sneak attack from behind, he had no possibility of blocking this blow, and he had no defense, did he have some kind of hole card, or had already calculated the situation? Only he knows that, but the truth is, he won again.
After hearing Clarence's voice, Kanin slowly turned? One? Root? Read? Novel xstxt turned around and said with a smile, Clarence nodded slightly in response, he just came here alone, and he had nothing to rely on except his own weapon: "Even if it's good, then, where is the new weapon you said?" I've checked the vicinity of this small town, but it's just a large meadow, and where is the so-called dangerous place? ”
"The real danger is always hidden in the shadows, stand here and look down, you will know everything, but be careful, please don't fall from here, your body can't stand this kind of impact."
As he spoke, Kanin turned on the lights on the aircraft at the same time, and the edge of the huge pit became clear under the light, looking at the scene in front of him, Clarence was not surprised, he calmly walked to the edge and leaned down to look, turned around and picked up a stone from the side of the road to throw it down......
"Please don't do that!" Seeing that he was going to test the depth of this place in this way, Kanin, who was frightened by this approach, immediately stopped him, "I can tell you that this place is about a hundred meters deep, and the width is about seventy meters, but it took me some effort to disable the surveillance device set up here, if you do this, it will attract unnecessary attention." ”
"Really? Underground Research Base ...... This is really the style of Noxus" After being stopped by Canin, Clarence didn't insist, he silently estimated, and then looked at Canin with a smile and said, "In this case, even the Zuan people don't know about your experiments?" You've really put a lot of effort into keeping it secret, but forgive me for being ignorant, the armor-piercing effect of this weapon you developed is good, but the attack range is not as large as imagined, and the strategic-level main gun on our heavy air carrier can destroy half of the city at full power, the kind of thing you are studying...... Is it for Noxus, which has many underground facilities? ”
"No, young man, as you say, 'strategic-class main guns fire at full power', if I tell you that this is the destructive power that can be achieved by a single weapon, what do you think is the value of this weapon?"
"This ......" Clarence was shocked by the answer, if a single weapon could achieve such destructive power, it would be a genius invention, but we all know it...... This is nothing more than Kanin's lie.
"That's it, because there was some trouble during the experiment, so I accidentally destroyed this place, but if I guessed correctly, the prototype of this weapon is still safely placed on the lowest level, so, I need someone who can be trusted and powerful to bring this prototype back to Noxus, and you, my friend Clarence, you are the most suitable person here, the concentration of magic here is still too high, and the magic energy engine used by any machinery will be scrapped after going deep into here, with your skills, It shouldn't be a problem to climb down this huge pit, after finding that prototype - or fragments can do it, bring these back, I'll be waiting for you on it, by the way, put this on, this is the communication headset that Zaun uses, because it doesn't rely on magic to transmit sound, it can still be used here, if you run into any trouble, let me know immediately, but I want to ...... It shouldn't work. ”
"Are you just waiting here......?"
"You can't let me climb down with my bare hands like you, can you?" Seeing that Clarence's face immediately showed an obvious expression of distrust, Kanin smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "What's more, you also know what kind of magic I'm good at, and with your magic, you shouldn't have to worry about anything at all, right?" “
…… In a sense, this is indeed the case, but this must also have enough strength as a guarantee, Clarence silently assessed in his heart, although he was not sure that his interference magic was enough to resist Kanin's domain, but with the increase of magic level, his instantaneous step skills have also been strengthened, and now he can move to the target position from fifty meters away, with this advantage that Kanin doesn't know, even if he does him this favor, there is no problem, right?
"Alright then, please wait a minute, I'll go find this amazing weapon."
Clarence said meaningfully, holding the two daggers in his hands, standing with his back to the edge of the pit, he jumped vertically on his tiptoes without using ropes or any other safety equipment, and after falling some distance, he plunged his knives into the dirt, bringing himself to a stop on the straight wall.
Is this really the destruction caused by individual weapons......?
When he stood at the top and looked down, Clarence was a little puzzled, and after falling more than ten meters, this sense of doubt became even stronger, it felt like a wall built by a mason, except for being cut by a sword, Clarence didn't know what weapon could cause such a flat section, what did Kanin guy, what did he create?
After going back and forth on the wall in this dangerous way many times, Clarence quickly landed at the bottom of the pit, unlike the smooth side walls, just stepping on it would reveal that it was covered in various debris, and Clarence raised a small ball of light, which was the simplest light magic that everyone who knew some magic would use, and when the not-so-bright light illuminated the place, Clarence was stunned.
…… What's really going on here?
He didn't land on the real ground at all, but stepped on a hill of debris that had piled up like a crater in a deep pit, and if Clarence had just taken a few steps forward, he might have slid straight down the mountain, which was about ten meters high, if it was caused by recoil...... Can this still be considered a single weapon?
Never mind...... After all, Kanin also said that it was an accident, and he pressed the headset, and while looking around, he asked Kanin, "I've arrived, and it looks like this place is ...... It's not that chaotic, but if you want to find out what you're talking about in this pile of rubble, I'm afraid it would take me months on my own, and I don't have that much time. ”
"Ruins...... I think it's a consequence of the impact of the explosion, and you can look in the middle of the area, and the weapon should be in the middle. ”
In between...... Clarence looked down and pulled a relatively intact door out of the pile of debris, which he used as a surfboard and slid down the hill in style.
After taking a few steps forward, the flat ground appeared in front of Clarence's eyes, he didn't dare to waste too much magic power, the area that the ball of light in his hand could illuminate was indeed limited, walking in this silent and empty underground depth, Clarence was indeed a little nervous, he walked forward step by step carefully, always paying attention to the movements around him......
Hum -
"Who is it?"
At this moment, the ball of light in Clarence's hand suddenly flickered twice, which also meant that something was interfering with his magic, and there was really someone ambushing him here. Clarence, who had already been prepared, immediately took out a few daggers from his bosom and threw them towards the fan-shaped area in front of him.
There was no reaction, with a few sounds of metal hitting the ground, several daggers all missed, and it took a long time for Clarence, who was already lying on the ground, to slowly stand up, and the thing that interfered with his magic didn't seem to have any new movements, was he too careful? He raised the ball of light in his hand and tried to expand his field of vision......
Hum -
Again, the light of the ball of light flickered twice, and Clarence noticed that every time he raised the ball of light in his hand a little, the flicker would happen again as before, so to speak......
"Found it!"
"What? Have you found it already? What's going on there? Hearing the sudden exclamation from the headset, Kanin, who was standing above, couldn't help but shake his whole body, "Tell me what exactly you found, where is that thing now?" “
“…… In the center of the clearing, a huge black ball floats in the air! What kind of weapon did you design...... This black ball is simply a spatial rift that is still in a stable state, right? If this is really the destruction caused by a single weapon, it is more powerful than any of the main guns of a fortress, right? “
