ps: Modify the wording.

"As usual, go left first?" Barrett shook the lantern in his hand.

Claudia followed. Auditore nodded: "Listen to you!" ”

After turning left to the corner of Guò without hesitation, players are greeted by two metal gates. Barrett immediately gave Noodle a look, and the halfling wanderer immediately put away the crossbow he was holding and unloaded a leather bag from his back.

One by one, the Wanderer's tools were removed from the noodles, but this time it was a special gelatinous telescopic stick based on a mine-detecting tool. In the book, he held the noodle of the mine detector and turned his head to signal to his companions behind him: "Everyone stand back a little. ”

As their companions pulled apart in unison, the halfling wanderer began his work. It was as if he was carefully moving around the two metal doors in front of him, relying on his light weight and agility to reach out and try the floor tiles in front of him one by one.

After making sure there was no threat on the ground, Noodles began to use his pathfinder stick to test the metal gate and the wall tiles around it. Then there were a few crunchs on it—the structure of the surrounding buildings was judged by the sharp senses of the halfling, and by the preaching of the sound of the tools in his hands. to rule out potential trap traps.

Noodles, who finished his work, wiped his forehead with his cuffs, then put away the telescopic stick and turned around: "Guys, there's good news and bad news!" ”

"Don't sell it! Just say something straight! "Rielly really doesn't even bother to raise her hand now.

"The good news is that these two gates in front of us should not be protected by any special traps." The halfling wanderer's voice changed as he spoke, "But again, I didn't find the mechanism to be opened. So I think that the door of this real yàn room is the same as the previous ruin entrance. Yes, you need to be certified magically. All I can say is that there is nothing I can do about it. ”

"Do you need to do magic seriously?" Rielly said. With that already a little soft hand. He pulled out the runestone he had found in the ruins.

Unfortunately, after a few attempts, she still shook her head: "This control device does not just correspond to the enchantment on the ground. It also has a clear impact on the two gates in front of it. But I don't know what password to use. ”

"Do you want to try it with the mage's blood like you did before?" That's when Claudia. Auditore said without a shy mouth.

Everyone's eyes turned to Claudia. Auditore, but after revisiting the now-squishy Derielly, the players shook their heads in unison.

Even Rielie smiled self-deprecatingly, as if sarcastic at her previous impulsiveness: "I don't think it's a good idea. His Highness Tymorrah can't look at us every time. Moreover, the two metal doors in front of me are so big, and they do not have special signs like the previous statues. You can't let me smear these two metal gates with blood! ”

"Rielie is right! And it's important to note that the previous curse had put her in this state. If you do it again, you may have to go to the temple in advance and wait for the resurrection. Barrett on the side also made his own statement at this time.

Claudia. Auditore threw this problem directly in front of everyone: "I'm just talking. But is there anything you can do to solve the problem at hand? ”

"Try it with percussion!" The noodles were very reluctant to mention yì at this time.

A two-ring spell of the percussion arcane class. Doors that are stuck, latched, locked, sealed, and locked by arcane locks can be opened. It can open both closed doors and locked boxes or secret boxes. It can also be used to loosen welds, shackles or chains.

For the Arcane Lock, of course. This spell is not removed entirely, it just renders it inactive for 10 minutes. Also, this spell cannot lift a wooden gate or similar obstacles (such as an iron gate), nor can it affect things like ropes or vines.

Also, the effect of the spell is limited by the user's ability and has a spell area. If a secret door is closed for multiple reasons, it can only remove two obstructive causes per cast.

Although like most similar spells, it has a number of limitations to its use. But that doesn't stop people from praising this simple and violent spell. In fact, after the discovery of this spell, its existence greatly affected the jobs of the wanderers.

The trap that originally took dozens of minutes to open slowly was only a matter of 3 seconds in front of this spell. It's no wonder that Noodle had an embarrassed expression when he proposed this Jianyì!

"No!" Rielly shook her head weakly, "Because I knew I was here to hunt for treasure, so I copied a few percussion scrolls before." If it were on any other occasion, I would definitely agree with the idea of noodles. But in front of you, this is the Arcane Research Institute of the Old Empire. I don't think the door here can be easily opened by tapping. ”

Barrett smiled and patted the Mo knife behind his back: "If I really can't help it, how about I try to split them with a weapon?" ”

"Never!" Rielly immediately stopped him.

Claudia. Auditore even complained: "Barrett, why do you have this feeling of violence in your head!" ”

"It's not a question of violence or not. Judging by the situation along the way. Although the aura of the spells in the research institute is like a candle in the wind, it may be extinguished at any time. But after all, it is still running tenaciously. If violence were to be used here, I was worried that it would trigger a self-defense mechanism within the Institute. "Speaking of which, Rielie looked at the 'booty' that Barrett was carrying behind.

If it had just entered the ruins and had nothing to gain, Rielly might have asked Barrett to give it a hand. But now that she has made a decent amount of money, she naturally doesn't want to take such a big risk to do this kind of thing anymore - she is reluctant to break her own bottles and cans!

"Training room and training room!" Barrett touched his chin and turned his gaze to the door of the cultivation room written in the old imperial Chinese on the right: "This room is used to store the finished cultivation products, and the little family behind me also grew up here." Don't you have the interest to go in and have a look? ”

Claymatis. Bott suddenly said with a dark face, "Eighty percent is a room full of glass sinks, and maybe there are some highly rotten humanoids floating in the sinks. When the time comes, it will not be good to be so frightened that he vomits so much that he can't stand up. ”

"Miss Bote! Why did you suddenly have this thought? Have you seen a similar institute before? Barrett rubbed his chin and looked at the priest in the line with interest.

It's a pity that the few remaining players are hearing about Klymatis. After Both's statement. The associations in my head are too fast. One by one, their faces turned bad. Rielly, who was already a little weak. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand!

"It's necessary for you all to be so exaggerated!" Claymatis. Bot said angrily, "I'm just telling the film and television materials I've seen before." ”

"I think there should be a big difference between the film and television materials in reality and the ones in this game." Barrett stretched out his finger and shook it, "And you must have seen the few researchers with only corpses left!" It's been so long, and the corpses that were originally rescued in it have already turned into white bones. It's not going to happen in the kind of scenario you're talking about. ”

"Klimatis, you really have a bad heart!" Rielly, who had finally recovered from her recovery, stretched out her hand and pointed at the pastor's nose and scolded.

Claymatis. Bot unceremoniously pushed Rielly's finger aside, "What a bad heart! Think about how many fights we've experienced along the way, and how many dead bodies we've seen. I was supposed to be because you should be surprised by this kind of thing. Who knew there would be such a big reaction! I don't think your current expression is logical at all! ”

"It's just the corpse, of course we're not that sensitive. But when I contact a glass sink. I don't know why it's supernatural and chemical. In short, the combination of the two is unbearable. "Speaking of Claudia. Auditore waved his hand, "Let me have a good rest and catch my breath first." ”

As his companions calmed their mental nausea, Barrett pressed his hand to the door that had been confirmed by the noodles as non-dangerous. The three of them pressed the iron door hard, and found that the door did not move at all, and even the closed door cracks did not appear because of this--it shows that the salary of the year was exquisite.

After a thousand years, the gate in front of me can still be like this. It also proves that their materials are very strong and reliable. However, in Barrett's opinion, the reason why the institute spent so much effort on it in the first place. In addition to preventing foreign infiltrators, it is more necessary to guard against those test subjects!

The players who have finally recovered seem to have lost the ** that stepped into these two rooms. Although Barrett has a strong interest in the training room and training room of the old empire, he is not willing to drag the whole team into the water because of his own death.

Players who retreated to the T-junction immediately turned into another hallway. Again, this corridor is nowhere further away than players might think - it's easy to overlook a research site like this when digging underground these days. It seems that the original builders did not waste the Empire's budget on meaningless aisles.

"This is, it seems to be the conference room of the Institute." Look at the big round table in front of you. There are also pictures hanging on the walls. Players seem to be able to determine what the room in front of them does.

It's a pity that the state here is maintained well, but all the paper items. None of them have stood the test of history. After the door opened, the stagnant air began to flow, and in just a few seconds, all the carbonization dissipated.

Fortunately, the metal engraving on the wall can still provide players with a little information, and Barrett shook his head with a wry smile: "It seems that we have destroyed a lot more items than we have gained this time." ”

"How can it be said that we sabotage, even if we don't come, these materials have already been corrupted." Claudia. Auditore said and straightened his chest, "At least for now, because of our rescue." Many books and documents that were on the verge of destruction have been preserved. It's all about contributing to civilization again. ”

"I just think it's a bit of a pity. If it's a large sorcery organization that excavates. There should be a way to hold part of the Wen jiàn who has been ashes! Barrett sighed at this point.

After hearing Barrett's words. Claymatis. Bot squinted his eyes angrily: "If it's really a large mage organization that is excavating." What do you think we can get out of it? When the time comes, let alone eating meat, you won't even be able to drink a mouthful of soup and water! ”

"I just haven't said anything about our own approach. Two eldest ladies, why do you always love to go online like this. Barrett, with his hands on his hips, said with a stern expression.

"Come and see, come and see. There seems to be some trial number on these metal engravings! As if she had discovered a new world, Rielly pointed to the metal engravings that hung around the walls.

After entering, Barrett suddenly noticed that the pendant in front of him, which had been mistaken for a metal engraving, seemed to be somewhat similar to some of the items in his memory. He reached out and touched the bronze metal pendant, and then saw that the 'engraving' had a ripple like a lake.

This defense has given Barrett even more confidence. He immediately came to the conclusion that "this is not a metal engraving." Rather, it is a liquid metal recorder used during the old empire. The effect is a bit like an e-book in reality, and it seems that this institute uses the text of the meeting in it. ”

"So, can this thing still work?" Stretching out her finger and poking at the scroll whose surface rolled like mercury under external force, Claudia. Auditore couldn't help but ask.

Barrett continued to fiddle with the liquid metal recorder up and down with his fingers, and after not seeing any reaction from it for a while, he could only declare defeat: "Looks like it's no longer effective because of the lack of maintenance in hiding." Only the minutes of the last meeting before the accident occurred, and some of them have been preserved on the changes that were said to have occurred when these strange objects were last used. ”

"Looks like these things won't sell for much money." Claymatis. Bot said with some reluctance.

Barrett is now more optimistic: "Although the effect of the strange thing has disappeared. But this kind of strange thing is a technology that has long been lost on the mainland. Although it is no longer without substitutes, and the number of excavations is not small. However, for those researchers, research samples are always scarce. So even such waste can be sold for more than the price of a refined weapon. ”

While the two were chatting, Rielie was pointing to the liquid metal recorders and beckoning to her companions: "Barrett." If I'm not mistaken, it seems that most of the content recorded above is related to medicines. There are also anatomical drawings of humanoids and organs. ”

"Looks like the value of these items is going to go up a bit!" Barrett nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Clematis. Bot asked, "Priest, these liquid metal recorders can still fit!" ”

"If there is no amount of harvest in the other channel, I think there should be no problem. But if we keep stuffing things into it, I think we're going to have to make a trade-off. "Claymatis. Bot pointed his finger to his chin and said in estimation.

"Well, let's put it away first! If we need to sort out the space capacity, we'll talk about it later. Then Barrett clapped his hands: "Guys, hurry up and put all these things away." Let's hurry to explore the next passage at the previous three-pronged entrance.

Because of the clear goal, players who quickly completed the loot immediately began to return the same way. Because they are already familiar with the car, the pace of the players is much faster than when they came.

But just as Barrett was about to enter the final passage of the three-pronged entrance, Claudia . . . Auditore suddenly said: "I'm a little nervous! I don't know what kind of wealth is hidden in this road! ”

"No matter what kind of wealth it is, it has nothing to do with you!" With these words, a dazzling electric light appeared in the players' pupils.

"Get down!" Barrett, who shouted this, took Claudia beside him. Auditore pushed away, and leaned his whole body in front of his eyes, allowing the speeding thunderbolt to leave a charred mark on his armor.

And the players who heard Barrett's reminder also noticed the thunder rushing in from the entrance. Rielie and Claymatis. Bot immediately fell to the ground and avoided it. Noodle relied on his small form and shrank back behind one of the previous passages. Lalu made a quick left flip, but unfortunately his tail was rubbed and he was so electrified that the fluff all over his body exploded.

Under this sudden lightning beam, a pitch-black dent appeared in the room, which had already lost the protection of the spell. In its path, all obstacles were broken down or shattered. Even some ordinary metals become soft under the high temperatures that come with them.

At this time, almost everyone in the audience was injured. The slight ones like Barrett and Noodles were only rubbed and felt a little numbness and pain, but they didn't have much effect on the fight.

Weighing like Claymatis. Bot and Claudia. Auditore, the two eldest ladies in pitch-black chain armor, were all black, not to mention that their hair stood on end. Although there is no mortal danger yet, combat effectiveness will inevitably be affected.

"Whoosh!" An arrow flew out of the corridor behind Barrett and struck the room from which the thunderbolt had come. Unfortunately, the arrow was less than 5 feet away from the mage who had just rubbed the glass rod with his fur, as if it had hit something and stopped in the middle of the road.

"Damn it, protective arrows." He glanced at his boots, which had been destroyed by lightning, and his little feet that had been charred and blackened. Noodle endured the pain and spat on the ground.

"Come on! Rest in the ruins! I thought......" Before the caster could finish speaking, his voice stopped abruptly. Barrett then discovers that a spell scroll has lost its original brilliance in Rielly's hand lying on the ground.

"Silence?" Barrett, who immediately understood, hurriedly launched a charge towards the area that had fallen into silence. He was followed by the kitten whose fluff had become unusually fluffy. Although the lightning didn't hurt him too much before, it also changed his image a lot.

Suddenly, a heavily armored guard holding a tower shield appeared in front of the originally unobstructed door. The result of the weight of the metal riding boots was that each step he took sent a slight vibration to the ground.

It seems that the spellcaster did not come alone to face the protagonist like the villains in the Ranger story. The middle infantry in front of him even had his face covered by a metal fence, and it could be said that he was armed to the teeth.

He was a little worse than the Shield Defender, who was about 9 feet tall and weighed more than 1,200 pounds. But in the underneath passage, which has only one exit, it is like a high wall between the players and the attacking mages.

'Damn! The caster in that room must be eliminated before the silence time expires. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble. Rielly: I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand the second bolt of lightning. As he thought of this, Barrett suddenly spotted a gap between the guard and the gate behind him—there was a space of about 50 centimeters above his head.

Barrett, who was galloping, immediately made a gesture towards the cat-man warrior monk behind him with his free hand. It's a tactic that the two have already practiced during their training in Karada, but this is the first time they've used it in real combat.

'The mountain is broken! Like a boulder tumbling down a cliff, Barrett draws power from the earth beneath his feet with astonishing momentum and transforms them into destructive power. So that his next attack is as powerful as a landslide.

There was a loud bang, and the Mo knife in Barrett's hand slammed into the tower shield of the heavy infantry in front of him without any fancy fancy. Even this class, which has always been known for its strength and chassis stability, has taken half a step back in the face of Barrett's enormous power.

It was then that the players behind Barrett noticed. Barrett now shows a lunge forward and a ramp that helps the noodles fly. (To be continued......)
