Fort of Disobedience, Southern Region.

The magic crystal lamp that had been set up at the end of the corridor was still working normally, and the bright and constant light dispelled the darkness in the corridor, which also made Thordrin feel a little relieved.

The magic crystal lamp set in front of the shadow experimental field is not only for lighting, but also as a "detection device" - this magic crystal lamp relies on a group of special magic net units for energy, the magic net unit has runes that detect abnormal magic surges, as long as the surrounding magic concentration suddenly changes, the magic net unit will be burned immediately, and the lights will be extinguished, and the follow-up exploration team members will be able to get early warning, and now the lights are still bright, which at least shows that in the two days that Thorderlin and others left, There was no anomalous surge of magic in this area.

Exploring in the ancient and mysterious ruins, the most feared thing is to encounter ancient magic mechanisms that are still in operation, or magical creatures wandering in the ruins, Toldrin's caution is completely a lesson that countless adventurers have summed up with their lives.

"It's normal, no anomalous magic," a Steel Ranger soldier reported to Thorderlin, using a detection eyepiece to confirm that the area outside the lights was safe.

Thorderling nodded: "Set up an emergency defense point and prepare to open the door." ”

Some of the warriors immediately pushed several large boxes they had brought along to the isolation door - these large boxes had weight-reducing runes, and there were magic capacitors inside that were specially used to power the weight-reducing runes, which were special "transfer boxes" used by machine builders to transport heavy materials, and after opening the boxes, the parts to be assembled and some strange equipment were immediately displayed in front of everyone.

Thorderling bent down in front of the box, his fingers brushing over one of the large pieces of gear.

It was a strange device with a grip, and its main body was made of two "U" shaped metal rails mounted opposite each other, the back of which was a sealed steel "box", where the metal rail and the "box" were connected, and the slightly glowing magic runes could be seen, and the grip of the device was located in the middle of the metal rail, and at the front and rear ends, respectively, the handshake and shoulder rest for auxiliary stability could be seen.

Thordrin knew that unlike Cecil's current standard equipment that followed the route of "mass production, cheap, and simple", what he had in front of him was a weapon that was manufactured almost at any cost, this weapon was created by the best master craftsmen in the territory and the ancient mage, using the best quality substrates that the current rune foundry could provide, and in the "energy box" at the back of the rail, even the second-generation mana capacitors that were still in the testing stage and only produced in small quantities, even the acceleration array on the rails, It is also the product of a special design, and all this is to meet one requirement: to create an orbital accelerator gun that can be carried by a single person.

But Sölderling also knew another thing - every piece of cheap mass-produced standard equipment started with such an expensive test model.

The more data the Steel Ranger collects in the process, and the clearer and more effective the proposed improvements, the sooner the day will come when this expensive weapon will become a cheap industrial product.

Normally, even with a mature idea, it takes a long time for a product to go from drawing to physical object, but thanks to Nicholas?? Mr. Egg's tireless efforts allowed Sölderling to get a few samples in advance during the second expedition.

"In groups of three, one in each group," Thorderling began to distribute the soldiers' equipment, "according to the previous plan, one launcher is equipped with two guards, the shield guard is responsible for supporting the shield, and the shooter is responsible for the cover of small arms, no matter what situation comes inside, you must be calm and calm - don't forget, you are the land of this land, and you will be the most elite 'Steel Rangers' in the world!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers took out the equipment in the weapon box one by one, in addition to the four individual launchers, there were also emergency shields supported by large mana capacitors and thermal ray guns with better continuous fire performance for them to use, these "special warfare equipment" modified from the existing technology were all orders placed by Solderlin ten days ago, and today is the time to verify them - if a battle really breaks out.

Miss Tyr, the Siren, who had temporarily stepped in to look for cookies, looked at these heavily armed Steel Rangers a little stunned, although she didn't go out often, but Gawain?? She still knew what kind of painting style the things invented by Cecil's military experts, and after holding back for a while, she still couldn't help but speak: "Are you sure you want to use this kind of thing to open the way in an ancient ruin?" Are you elves such a reckless race? ”

"This ancient relic is a creation of the Gondor Empire, and while it is ancient, it is incredibly strong, and we are not using these things to open the way, just in case," Thorderling smiled slightly, then looked proud, "As for the fighting style - I believe I am the first awakened among the elves, and I have found a more effective solution to the problem when my people were still obsessed with bows and magic. ”

As he spoke, the high-ranking ranger couldn't help but think of the earth-shattering battle he had with the cultist woman last winter......

It feels good to have seven or eight grenades on the enemy's head...... If he had brought a few more, he might have won.

"You people on land have weird brains," Tyr felt that there was something wrong with his communication with Thordelin, so he shook his head helplessly and arched away, "No wonder the sisters in the clan say that if you leave the water for too long, your brain will break......"

Amber didn't care about Thordrin and Tyr's conversation, she just walked to the closed gate with curiosity, looking up at the patterns on the gate - she didn't understand the fancy letters of the ancient Gondor Empire, she just looked for the breath of shadow power in the runes in other areas of the door.

"Is this the so-called Shadow Experiment Ground behind this......" Miss Half-Elf muttered, "Don't you feel a little bit of Shadow......

"Maybe it's all blocked by the door, the interference of purple steel with magic is very strong," Thordrin said as he took out a silver disc engraved with intricate runes from his bosom, "Step back a little, I'm going to try to unlock it." ”

He poured some magic into the silver disc, and then began to try to unlock the ancient gate according to the unlocking pattern explained by Kamel.

- Although Kamel doesn't know this area, and he doesn't know the access codes for the various areas of the Fortress, he knows the universal unlocking rules, and now that a thousand years have passed, all the energy systems of the fortress have undergone a reset, and the original passwords must be invalid, so theoretically, as long as you have a universal unlocking device, you can open any gate of the fortress.

With a faint glow from the silver disc, there was a sudden creaking sound of a mechanism running from inside the heavy ancient purple steel gate.

As soon as she heard this, Amber knew that Sölderlin had succeeded: she had heard the same movement when Gawain opened the northern gate of the mountain ruins.

Everyone was on alert, and under the gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, wisps of magical light finally emerged from the ancient gate, and slowly opened to both sides under the influence of the repulsive mechanism—

The alarm devices and defense equipment of a thousand years ago have been silenced, the guards of the fortress have long since fallen, and the arrival of uninvited guests has not triggered the slightest counterattack, only the smoke and dust raised with the opening of the gate, and a rotten and unpleasant smell.

A near-transparent shimmer of light immediately appeared beside each Steel Ranger warrior, the breeze shield blocking out potentially harmful aura, and Amber pursed her lips, her figure fading and vanishing in the air, turning into a distorted shadow and "slipping" into the door.

After a few moments, Miss Half-Elf came out: "Come in, it's safe inside—and most of it has been through landslides and geological changes, and half of it is flooded." ”

Behind the heavy barrier gates is a vast hall shrouded in darkness...... No, in Sölderling's opinion, this is more of a primitive cavern than a hall, with only a few traces of man-made objects inside.

The space behind the door is very large, at least as large as two dock squares, and in such a vast space, there are only a few places where you can see man-made stone slabs, stone pillars, and platforms on which equipment once were placed, and there are only a few collapsed shacks dotted between the man-made facilities, which may be a hut for researchers to rest and work, but other spaces are naked. On the dark and high dome, you can see the stalagmites hanging from the roof of the cave, and from time to time water drips from the roof of the cave, and in the lower part of the cave, you can see that the groundwater that has infiltrated from somehow has gathered into puddles and streams, and soaked those ancient man-made objects in the seepage.

A glowing bryophyte grows between the damp rock walls and stalagmites, so the cave is dim but not completely invisible, but the eerie light does not dispel the oppressive feeling of the cave, but rather makes the people in it feel uneasy.

Except for one person.

Amber turned into a shadow and deftly jumped between several boulders in the cavern, the dim and gloomy environment of the cave made her quite useful, and after using her shadow jump to check several nearby footholds and platforms, she returned to Tölderrin: "The thing has been emptied, but it's strange...... It's more like it's unfinished, and the cave isn't topped out...... Or did the people who built the Rebellious Fortress deliberately build it like this? ”

"It's not impossible," Thorderling analyzed, "maybe they're using some kind of magical environment in this cave to conduct research, so they can't easily change the structure of the cave or add too many artifacts here......

Tyr listened to their analysis, feeling bored - she wasn't interested in the shadow studies conducted by the landmasters a thousand years ago, which was not something the Kraken was good at, but she was interested in the water seepage, which seemed to be a good place to sleep......

The moment the strange waiter uttered the words "all things are dying", Francis II reacted, and he suddenly raised his left hand, and a strong magical shield condensed almost instantly, keeping out the monster with a burst skull and twisted flesh and blood.

Seeing the disgusting appearance of the flesh monster, Francis II's face changed slightly, but the spell casting action in his hand did not stop at all, he quickly outlined a series of magic runes with his free right hand, and the complex and profound spell was compressed into a few short syllables, accompanied by a piercing explosion, a dazzling cloud of arcane energy suddenly erupted between the magic shield and the monster, and the powerful explosive force lifted the monster directly out!

After the monster flew out, Francis II's face changed dramatically - he did not call the guards.

The Assassin had come in within seconds of Master Duke going out, and the battle had been loud enough that the guards or Master Duke should have rushed in immediately, even if he didn't have to call for help.

And yet no, not a single one.

The people here want the king to die.

The monster that had been blown out of the air wriggled wildly on the ground, and healed and crawled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the near-zero distance arcane explosion did not fatally injure it at all, and the moment he saw this scene, Francis II made the wisest decision at this moment-

He raised his hand and fired a disruptive fireball at the monster, then rushed straight to the nearest window and jumped!
