Ying Lan walked briskly down the empty corridor of the Charm Research Institute, her long ponytail tucked into her clothes and then exposed at the end of her robe. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the past, although there were not as many people here as the Instrument Research Institute, there should be people coming and going, but now, the corridor was quiet only the sound of Ying Lan's boots stepping on the floor.

The doors around the hallway were all open, but no

She held a pair of drawings in her hand, and the dense lines and numbers on them were a headache to watch.

This is also the purpose of Ying Lan's here.

This is what Gig brought back with almost all the hands of the research institute before, just such a drawing. Although Ying Lan wanted to ridicule on the spot, because the other party was still the boss of the research institute, she had to hold back.

Giger didn't look at the drawings after he brought them back, but found a cabinet and sealed them up, making them an exhibit again—if Ying Lan hadn't looked at them again.

At the end of the hallway is a door with a sign that reads "Do Not Disturb at Work".

"It's good that people are still there. Ying Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and then pushed the door hard.

The door didn't push open, and it didn't move.

"Huh?" Ying Lan pressed the door suspiciously: "The door is locked?"

"Come in. Suddenly, a dull, old-sounding male voice sounded inside the door.

The door opens automatically.

Ying Lan pushed the door in, and at the same time opened her mouth and teased: "As the chief adult, there is no ...... Watlier, what's going on with you?"

Ying Lan looked at the man in front of her in surprise.

Watlier was the first director of the Charms Institute, one of the three chiefs of the City of Fire, on an equal footing with Chalmer and Leslie, a genius in the study of ancient spells, and a pioneer in the field of rune applications - his achievements are all recognized, and if nothing else, he will eventually become one of the legends of the Imperial City.

Ying Lan looked at this legend in surprise, he turned his back to Ying Lan and leaned over to study the runes on the table, just like he usually did.

But the layout of this house is very different from usual, I saw that it was all covered with rune paper, on the walls, on the tabletop, on the floor...... Densely pasted with one rune paper after another.

If Lynch were here, he would have a strong sense of déjà vu.

"What are you doing here? It's just a matter of hiding in the research institute and not participating in the development, and still playing with stickers here?"

Ying Lan complained, and at the same time twitched her nose and sniffed, there was a faint fragrance in the room.

Ying Lan seemed to be very familiar with Watlier, at least most people would not dare to speak to Watlier, who was one of the three highest-ranking people in the Imperial City.

Watlier, dressed in a gray robe, stopped what he was doing, straightened up, and slowly turned around.

"It seems that our genius lady is the only one who dares to come in without knocking. ”

Vattellier's hooded face was also covered with rune paper, revealing only a pair of bright and clear eyes.

Ying Lan looked at the old man in front of him in surprise, and forgot the purpose of his coming here in surprise: "What are you doing here? My lord? Paste the wall? And our resources are not enough to make an inner lining with rune paper, right?"

"I'm working on a newfound rune, kid, thank you for your concern, you do have a good sense of humor, but I guess Gig won't like it. Watlier laughed twice and looked at the girl in front of him: "You should have something else to do here, right?"

"Oh, yes. Ying Lan reacted and slapped the drawing in her hand on the table in front of her: "Look at this." ”

The old man sighed, shook his head, and then focused on the drawings on the desktop: "You shouldn't come to me for this kind of thing. ”

"Can I still go to Jiger, or my grandfather?" the girl stroked a strand of hair in front of her forehead and pursed her mouth, "They can't read it, so I can only come to you." ”

As a genius, the rune master is not only interested in ancient spells, but he has dabbled in many things.

The old man noticed the girl's use of honorifics, and his lips under the paper smiled slightly, but his attention was quickly drawn to the dense vocabulary and lines on the drawing.

"This is ......," he looked up at the girl who was also looking at the drawing.

Ying Lan didn't notice the old man's gaze, she looked at the drawings intently, one hand unconsciously playing with the hair on her forehead, while replying: "This should be a kind of ancient driving device, it can carry a building as big as a castle, and then move quickly!"

Ying Lan said and suddenly became excited: "In other words, this should be a driving device researched by people in ancient times to escape the black fog natural disaster! We can use this to explore from a distance! We can even arrange some possessed people to move in one direction all the time? We can use it to get out of the end of the black fog!"

The old man's eyes were fixed on the drawing.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "Even if we have drawings, we don't have the ability to make it. ”

"I asked the guards who went out to explore at the time, and they said they had seen some props similar to those on the drawings," the girl replied at once, apparently she had made a draft before she came, "maybe there is a ready-made drive there, and we can get the answer if we bring some of the guards to look at it." ”

After that, Ying Lan looked at the old man who was looking at the drawings with his head down, and he was unpredictable when he only showed a pair of eyes under the cover of the rune paper.

Under some kind of intuitive reminder, Ying Lan did not open her mouth to urge, but chose to stand quietly and wait for the old man's answer.

"It's a pioneering period," the old man finally spoke, speaking slowly, as if he were thinking about the wording, "we are now short of manpower, and even the children who have just passed the test for a year have to be sent to patrol the inner ring. Even in the next year, I suspect that there will be no room for new testing and selection activities on the part of the academy, so there is no way to arrange anything other than opening up now. ”

"So I'll have to wait until the opening is over?"

"Yes. ”

Ying Lan shrugged: "Okay then, I'm leaving." ”

With that, she turned around and was about to leave.

Watlier smiled and looked at the girl in front of him gently, but unfortunately this expression was all under the cover of the rune paper: "Don't you have to participate in the development?"

"In two days. The girl turned around helplessly: "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Oh, yes, I do remember that when you reminded me," Watteller patted his head, looking as forgetful as a real old man, and he bent down and pulled out a book from under the table, "You give this to Luo Yu, I remember that you have a good relationship." ”

"What is this?" Ying Lan walked over and took the book in the old man's hand suspiciously, but did not open it: "What kind of book is this?"

"Luo Yu is very talented in runes," Watlier said and sighed, "It's a pity that she doesn't have time to come to me to study, this book has some of my research notes on runes, you should be careful before handing them over to her, don't lose them." ”

"Then this is really priceless!" Ying Lan made an exaggerated expression and carefully stroked the rough cover of the book: "You didn't say to leave me a copy!"

"It's certainly not alone, and you have a terrible grasp of the syllables. The old man responded with a smile.

"Then I'm leaving. Ying Lan pursed her lips to express her dissatisfaction, and then turned around and walked out the door.

"Wait a minute. ”

“...... Is there anything else you can do?"

"You take this drawing back. The old man didn't do it himself, but motioned with his eyes to Ying Lan to come and get it himself.

"Wouldn't it be good for you to take a look?" Ying Lan asked in surprise, "Don't you really like to watch this kind of thing?"

"Hmm...... I'd love to see it too, but unfortunately I don't have much time right now, so let's take it. ”

"Hey. Ying Lan sighed helplessly, and picked up the drawings with her other free hand: "I'm really leaving." ”

"Let's go. The old man responded with a smile: "Say hello to your grandfather and Luo Yu on my behalf." ”

The girl turned her back to the old man and waved her hand in response. This action is quite similar to Luo Yu.

Watlier watched the girl walk out the door, the smile on her face fading. The door slowly closed, and an unknown force imprisoned the door, and no one could enter without the old man's consent.

The house was full of rune papers, which shimmered brightly and dimly in the dimly lit room.
