The land of the Lancet family, most of which is built around ancient tombs resembling schools. The core area of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is naturally an ancient tomb.

Although it is a place where dragon ancestors are buried, it is more of a frontier for the study of ancient technology. Even thousands of years ago, the Lancet family did not give up on the study of power.

Some of the buildings were built very early, and the seals and passages left behind after the destruction of the corrupted dragon species were the research chambers built in ancient times. For unknown reasons, the Lancet family has no record of this hidden secret room.

"Except for this newly discovered passage, the rest of the places have been documented. There's basically no place you haven't been. Garcia led the way and said silently. "I don't know what happened to lock this area off completely. One thing is certain, though, that it's definitely not a good thing. ”

"If it's a good thing, there will be no puppets and corrupted dragons guarding the seal. Don't worry, we have enough combat power and should not encounter any danger. The egret responded. It's not that the egret can predict anything, it's just that the elf attached to the body has probed, and the passage in front of him is not dangerous, and even the trap or anything doesn't exist.

Fiona and Nina walked behind the egret together, Fiona was very interested in the pattern engraved on the passage, and after taking a closer look, she said, "This pattern should be the style of a thousand years ago, not only for decoration, but also for energy supply lines." ”

The transmission of magic energy was still using lines thousands of years ago, and it was not as fully used as it is today. Although the Magic Energy Furnace is older, the technology that uses magic energy is at its peak. Modern technology has optimized and upgraded this ancient technology, making it miniaturized and refined. The matte-level magic energy furnace that Garcia said cannot be manufactured in modern technology, and can only be disassembled from the remnants of the ancient period's strategic equipment and repaired for use.

Much of the technology of ancient times was lost due to disasters and wars. Because at that time, it was not human beings on the continent as the hegemon, and the tendency of science and technology was in all directions. Some races are born with various advantages and do not need to rely entirely on magical energy, while others develop different technological directions due to cultural tendencies than humans.

But human beings are the best at learning from each other's strengths, and in countless years of elimination and competition, they finally stood in the position of hegemon. It has also established a diversified mode of technological development, as long as it is conducive to the development of technology, no matter which race or power it belongs to in ancient times, it will eventually be integrated into the human technology tree.

"The cost of such a large-scale energy distribution line must have been astronomical at that time. Garcia, your family is far richer than the Luthers. Fiona concluded.

Garcia smiled wryly, "That's in the past, too. The Lancet family's past wealth has caused the members of the family to have their own independent ideas, and although the headquarters is still there, the cohesion is far less than before. It can only be said that there are pros and cons. ”

As the crowd spoke, the passage came to an end. An open space came into view, but this was where the entrance gate was, and there was nothing but a building that resembled a laboratory gate.

This gate is very sci-fi with a peculiar metallic sheen. Even after I don't know how many years have passed, there is still a glow of magic energy reflected on it. This shows that there is still energy here.

"The Third Biological Experiment Institution of Ransolt. Garcia frowned, "The family has no record of such an institution. Not to mention the third, the first, the second have not been heard of. ”

"Secret Institute?" Fiona's eyes lit up. This eldest lady is very fond of exploring ancient technology, and she is also a well-known expert in the family. Although he is not as knowledgeable as Dhoni in history, he has a vision that is not inferior to that of the family master in biotechnology and energy technology.

There shouldn't be any secret research institutes, and it's so secret that it should be kept secret from your own family. The egret said silently in his heart, this place looks very strange, the distance of the passage is not far, but it is enough to lead to the range of entering the ancient tomb. The Institute of Biology was established here, and who knows what the Lancet family studied.

"It's weird. The egret spoke, "The corrupted dragon species must have escaped from here, isn't it because of the corrupted dragon species that the seal was built to seal this place in its entirety?"

This is a critical issue, if the Corrupt Dragons escaped from the lab, then this place should have been destroyed. If not, why did the Corrupt Dragons appear on the outside and be locked under the seal of the square?

No one can answer this question, but it has caused everyone to think.

Fiona didn't think too deeply about it, "If nothing else, the door seems to be closed. Can it be opened?"

"This is a common access lock that needs to be authenticated in ancient times. As long as it is a clansman with a certain authority in the family, there will be a nameplate for identity authentication. Garcia said, then took out an ancient piece of metal from his body and pressed it against the area where the gate was certified.

"Drop! Level 2 Permission Holders, welcome to the lab, please pass. A pleasant but slightly stiff word came from above the gate. Then the door pulled up and slowly opened.

"It was so advanced thousands of years ago? The corners of the egret's mouth twitched, a little beyond comprehension. Speaking of which, this other world is often like this, science and technology are chaotic, some places are very advanced, and the means of transportation, weapons and equipment are almost beyond the knowledge of the egret. But in terms of life, it is a little simple, and most of the facilities seem very ordinary when you are in a free city.

When she said this, she was amused by Fiona.

"Living facilities are rudimentary, you don't seem to be from this world. There are often conflicts on the continent, and under the influence of demonic erosion, there are often monsters in chaos. How can we protect local security without developing weapons and defenses?" Fiona explained dismissively.

It is no wonder that the culture of this world is weakly disseminated, and the ideas are not particularly bright, and the ancient aristocracy is still used to rule the country. It's been peaceful for a long time, but it's been a bit of a disquiet lately.

Egret shook his head, it wasn't something he needed to take care of. As a knight, he couldn't let Fiona and Nina go into the lab before him, because it would be a dereliction of duty on the part of the egret in case of danger.

After entering the gate, there is an open space, and you can see a passage that leads straight to the front, and the passage is horizontally drawn in the shape of "Feng". At the front is an open square-like area, so you can see the other side vaguely. On the walls of the passage, there are small doors one after another, which are independent laboratory rooms. There are about a few of them in each passageway, some are iron doors, most of them are some experimental areas, and some are ordinary doors, which are dilapidated, about offices or reference rooms.

On both sides of the passage that passes through the middle are walls made of crystals, which look like glass. It's just that the dust is already covered with crystals, and it's impossible to see through every room.

"It's a real taste. The egret's face was all together, and as soon as he opened the door, the indescribable stench came to his nose, making him sick and dizzy.

Nina and Garcia's expressions were different, and when they smelled the smell, their faces became solemn.

"This is a corpse stench. Nina said, "The stench of corpses that has been deposited for a long time will not be dissipated. ”

Garcia walked briskly over to a crystal wall and cut a circular hole with his knight's sword. Look into the room of the lab.

The room was already a mess, dusty, and all kinds of equipment were scattered on the ground, with the point that there were a few dried corpses inside, lying on the ground in different states.

"It looks like I experienced unimaginable pain before I died. Garcia judged, "I don't know what caused this, but these people were all researchers here who died after some struggle." The equipment in this lab has been completely destroyed by the struggle. ”

The egret and others also came around to take a look, and the egret seemed to have seen it in the original world documentary, which was a bit like poison gas.

If that's the case, wouldn't the air still be toxin-laden here?

The egret's heart was shocked, and he immediately looked at Garcia and the others and said what he thought.

"Probably not. Garcia frowned and glanced at the knight's sword in his hand, "My weapon has the ability to discern toxins, and if it is poisonous, it will give a glorious warning in the morning." ”

Garcia's knightly sword is called Guardian Heart. It has the function of discerning dark negative energies such as toxins, curses, and necromancy. The knight's sword did not warn, indicating that the toxin had long since passed.

"These rooms are in such a state. The egret looked around, came back and frowned. "It can only be roughly judged that it is a sudden situation, it should be an incident of toxin leakage, which eventually caused such a scene. ”

"Let's go to the front and have a look. "If none of these rooms indicate that the incident was the starting point, the source is probably ahead." ”

Egret and Nina looked at each other and agreed with Garcia's judgment. Walked in the front together, letting Garcia escort Fiona to walk behind. According to the distribution of combat power, this is the safest way, although several people have cooperated for a short time, but there is already a tacit understanding.

An open plaza in the laboratory.

The first thing that catches your eye is the huge crystal cylinder. The red liquid was still tumbling inside, and small white ** guide pillar-like objects were placed around it. On top of the crystal cylinder are several large pipes that are inserted horizontally into the wall at the back.

Fiona recognized the pillar at a glance and exclaimed, "Magic Bomb!" This thing is the same type as an aerial bomb. It was first developed in the airship period and was mainly used for aviation bombing. Because it is impossible for the Air Combat Knight to carry a lot of mana bombs, they mainly protect the airship to carry explosive bombs and bomb ground targets.

However, this kind of explosive bomb was eliminated after the development of the magic defense wall device on the ground, as a physical attack, it is difficult to break through the city's magic defense wall without blasting, but the consumption of blasting is not acceptable for strategic costs.

The magic bomb that the egret saw now was obviously not a magic explosive device, but a highly concentrated liquid in front of him.

"The device on this head can vaporize and spray these liquids. Fiona appraised, "It's a great design." I just don't know what these liquids are. ”

"I think I know. Garcia's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were fixed on the huge crystal cylinder, "That's dragon blood, dragon blood!"
