Then, a magical scene happened, Salian and Teresa saw a small vine stretching out of Vigli and tapping it on a certain point on the wall, and the hexagonal clearing immediately began to descend rapidly, it turned out that this was a convenient mobile device, and they must ask Evangeline to make one when they go back. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When they stopped again, it suddenly dawned on them that a large man-made structure had appeared, outwardly made of some unknown black stone. Although Salian searched carefully, he did not find any parts that resembled the door.

Vigli probably knew their doubts, so he stopped and said.

"Master Gurundal is a man who likes to play tricks, and he has set up many elaborate mechanisms here to deal with ignorant intruders. ”

"Hehe, prudence is a virtue, and I don't find it strange. ”

Through the guidance of the vines of Hell, Salian found a small hole between two inconspicuous bricks in the black outer wall, and then put the ring that helped them enter the wasteland prison, and then there was a sound similar to the rotation of large gears, and the bricks around the small hole gradually recessed apart, and a dark door appeared out of thin air.

"There are mechanisms all the way here, pay attention to step on the floor tiles with special patterns on the ground and go forward!"

"Oh, what a clever and simple design, ordinary people always think that ordinary ground is the safest, and they will unconsciously walk over it, who knows that what awaits them will be endless despair!" Salian thought of a design that could be used as a reference.

After passing safely through this corridor, they came to an empty hall with several black statues of various shapes standing only on the perimeter of the wall, and Salian noticed that at the bottom of each statue was an ornately decorated wooden box.

"These are golems designed by Master Gurundal, made of necromantic obsidian that is a specialty of the Wasteland Prison, and are specially prepared by the master for adventurers who come to steal treasures, as long as the chest at the bottom of the golem is opened, the golem will be activated to attack. Crafted from the Wasteland Prison's specialty stone, these golems possess incredible strength and durability, and unless they are completely shattered, they will fight forever. ”

"It's a powerful pile of stones, it doesn't look like anyone has been here yet, right?"

"Yes, it's almost impossible to walk through the forest I'm guarding without being detected, hahahaha!"

Salian asked, "So where is Master Gurendal's secret treasure hidden?"

"Actually, there is a secret passage in one of the treasure chests here, which can lead to the master's laboratory. ”

"So we still have to deal with these golems?"

"That's not necessary, it's perfectly fine to have my First Wise Man in the Wasteland, I've seen how Master Gulundal fiddles with these strange stones before. ”

Then the vines fumbled around the hall for a while, and soon a dazzling magic lamp illuminated the hall, and Salian realized that the central part of the hall floor turned out to be a huge sixty-four red and black chessboard, on which there were many soldiers, queens, kings, etc., and the sound of what seemed to be some kind of machinery sounded.

"Visitors, welcome to the depicted Chess Hall, where you only need to force me to admit defeat within twenty-five moves, and you will be able to open the way to the Secret Treasure Hall and obtain my most important treasure!"

"Salian, this is asking us to play chess, are you sure?"

"I don't know what the strength of my opponent is, but although I am confident in my riding power, 25 steps is really not easy to grasp. "As a nobleman, chess is one of the most basic skills.

"Hehe, human, I can't help you here, as a hellish creature, I can't play your human game. I can only tell you that this is the consciousness left by Master Gurundal, and he plays exactly according to his strategy. ”

"Well, give it a try anyway!"

As a result, fifteen steps later, Salian completely checkmate the opponent's "king" to death. As the chessboard disappeared in an instant, one of the many treasure chests around it opened automatically, and Salian knew that the path they had been searching for was the one they had been looking for.

Seeing that everything was going well, Vigli opened his eyes wide and said to Sallian.

"I really don't see that you still have such a hand, I used to want Master Gulundal to teach me this way to play, he is not busy with research, can you ......"

Seeing the opportunity, Salian replied: "Haha, of course there is no problem, you must learn this kind of carving insect skill as soon as you learn it, I just have a small request." ”

"Oh, what request?"

"I want your flower stems, a small piece is enough, not too much. ”

"Oh, little meaning, I can grow this thing a meter in half a day, do you want it now?"

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Salian immediately agreed, and the only raw materials missing were the leaves of the World Tree and the heart of the Leviathan. He put a fresh stalk in his belt, thinking silently.

"Alright, now that the door is open, let's go. With that, Vigrius jumped straight into the chest, followed by Salian and Teresa.

It turned out that the treasure chest was hiding a slide, and after a long journey they fell in the air, and Salian put his arm around Teresa in one hand and the one-eyed vine with the other, and landed firmly on the ground. He laid them down and looked around earnestly, to find that the passage through which they had been brought was gone, and there was not a single door or window in the room. Despite being abandoned for hundreds of years, the place remained spotless, and Salian realized that there should be a long-lasting dusting magic mechanism still in operation.

It was clear that Master Gurendal did not want to give up on this place, and all the laboratory utensils were well preserved, neatly arranged on several shelves and test benches, a few of which still contained strangely colored liquids, and several large writing desks and bookshelves filled with manuscripts and books.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've been here, but all the furnishings are exactly the same as the last time I came, and it seems that no one has ever been to the Master's laboratory during this time. ”

Salian couldn't help but be a little excited when he heard this, and he said to Vigli kindly.

"Wise friends, do you know how Master Gurundal's things are stored?"

"I don't know, the master brought me here to talk to me about his great ideas, and he never said anything about how to manipulate them and what they were. ”

It turned out that the master had brought the vines of hell to relieve boredom, and Salian finally understood.

"Teresa, then we're welcome, please feel free to play!"

"Gee, is that really good?"

"What's not good, we're salvage digging!"

With that, the boy and girl began to rummage through the cabinets like hungry wolves, and Teresa and Salian stayed together for a long time, so they naturally learned his good habits.

Salian first attacked the bookshelf by the wall, and soon found a passage on the title page of an autobiographical notebook.

"By chance, I obtained the alchemy secret technique of the Second Dynasty, and its method is to dissolve the soul of the ancient into the beam metal, which is the mystery of the seven artifacts of the empire. ”

This manuscript was what Salian wanted most, and it was a no-brainer. According to the Gurendal master in the book, all it takes is a specially treated beam of metal to solidify the soul of the deceased, turning it into a living weapon like an imperial artifact. He continued to flip through the notebook, and found that it detailed the method of synthesizing the metal, as well as the techniques for fusing souls.

At the same time, the short sword "Ilosa" in Salian's leggings also made a sound.

"Your Excellency the Earl of the Borderlands, this may be the technology that made me, it has been almost lost due to too strict surveillance methods, but fortunately the inheritance has been found here. ”

Salian looked to himself and said, "Well, this thing is very important to me, I forgot, I never asked you what material you made it from!"

"Oh, you want to ask about the so-called beam metal? Actually, this metal itself is not special, the alchemist who transformed me back then can also make it, but the raw materials used are rare. The only difficulty is how to merge the soul into it. Unfortunately, the moment I woke up from a distant dream, my soul had already merged with the light metal, so I can't tell you more. ”

"Thank you, with this notebook, you can always succeed if you study it slowly. ”

Salian was confident that he had put the treasure in his pocket, and he couldn't understand the mystery, but with Teresa, there was no problem at all.

At this time, Teresa, who had been rummaging through the cabinets, came over to show him something, a cascading crystalline metal with a cyan glow.

"Salian, look at this, I think you're going to like it. ”

As Salian took the piece of metal in his hand, the voice of "Ilosa" rang out again.

"Your Excellency, this is the light metal, and the same thing is in the hilt of my sword. ”

Salian happily said to Teresa, "Yes, dear Teresa, we have been a great success today, and you are really my lucky star!"

Then he couldn't help but put his arms around Teresa and kissed her on the cherry lips. And Teresa did not resist, and in this way, the relationship between the two took another step forward.

Unlike his usual style of wreaking havoc in the past, Salian didn't take much of it this time, and he thought that the secret base might be of greater use in the future, so it remained intact.

He put his arms around the delicate body of the beautiful witch and asked the hellvines, "Wise Vigri, our business is over, what should we do if we want to leave?"

The strange one-eyed swayed from side to side and replied, "Let me think about it, oops! In the past, Master Gulundal used magic to reopen the pipe to let me out, and I really don't know how to get out by myself, hehe!"

Salian frowned slightly, kissed Teresa, and said to her, "My dark mage girl, now it seems that you can only rely on your strength to return directly to our world with that ring!"

He turned his head back to the useless plant and said, "How are you, do you want to go with us or stay here and wait for us to come again?"
