"It concentrates more than 10 disciplines such as agriculture, animal husbandry, botany, zoology, medicine, etc., and all life-related disciplines can be found in this research center. Christo made an encirclement gesture to strengthen his tone: "This is the place where my ancestors have achieved the highest achievements in biological research, if goblin technology does have a way to save that little girl, then it is most likely to be found here, if there is no place at all, it only means that the goblins have no choice." However, I think it is very likely that you will find a solution there, because after all, the medical technology of the ancestors of the Second Age was much more powerful than it is now, and many of the treatments are beyond the imagination of modern people. You won't understand that biology is the most important research direction for a race like goblins, which is extremely weak, and only by thoroughly studying biology can we maximize the development of medicine and improve the overall lifespan of the race. In comparison, puppet manufacturing, crystal technology, and metal smelting are just inconspicuous trivialities, so the ancestors stored the information of this research center as a top secret in a silver code disk. ”

"Such a complex cipher disk, can only provide this map that is not detailed?" Pannis muttered with some confusion, "I always think it shouldn't be so simple." ”

"Of course it's not that simple, do you think it's only a map? Remember the last picture, the text next to the image kept scrolling, it was a detailed description of more than 30,000 words, including the types of subjects and laboratory distribution in each area, as well as more general research directions and research results. I've sorted it all out, and I'll take it with you in a moment. Christo was a little tired and gasped for a moment on crutches before continuing: "And these are not the key, the most critical ones no one can think of. See these parts, hey, hey, hey, in fact, they are spare start keys, each component corresponds to an area, as long as it is inserted into the corresponding slot, you can urgently start the data storage and control center in this area, and then access the detailed map and detailed information of this area, including the specific project of each laboratory, the person in charge of the laboratory, specific members, Research funds and so on, without these cipher disk parts, even if you find the research institute and then go in, except for finding some mechanical accidents that you don't know the purpose of, there will be no other gains. ”

"That's right. Pannis's face was a little ugly, and he looked at Christo with a look of worry and hesitation for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and whispered: "I have bad news for you, you better be mentally prepared." ”

"What?" Christo asked nervously with a sense of foreboding, "What did you find?"

"I probably didn't tell you how I got this cone-shaped tetrahedron. Pannis, feeling a little bitter in his mouth, played with the goblin obeli that had been removed from the cipher disk, and said, "Something very inappropriate. ”

Christo was silent for a moment and sighed: "Let's go upstairs first, let's talk about something back to my research room, I'm a little tired." ”

Pannis sighed and patted Christo on the shoulder. The three of them left the vault of the Colossus Tower, returned to the hall on the first floor, and teleported directly to the sixteenth floor through the elevator and teleportation array. The old goblin remained silent all the way, not at all as excited and talkative as he had just been along the way, and even his back seemed a little more stiff, as if he was a few years older. None of the three of them talked, and the suppressed silence continued, until the old goblin took everyone into his research room and sat down on a familiar rocking chair, his face slowly regained his calm, leaning on the back of the rocking chair and letting the rocking chair sway slightly, and the originally sharp voice became low: "Okay, I have adjusted my mentality, at most, I should have never seen this set of password disks, or I should have never been able to put it together." Tell me, where did you find out about this? Rest assured, I can still hold on. ”

"In a nearby village called Angus Village, when Lina and I were attending the harvest festival, we accidentally found a goblin structure deep underground. Pannis described to Christo in detail the sights he had seen and the strange monsters he had encountered, and Freya didn't know about the experience, and they listened very attentively. After recounting what happened to the two of them, Pannis continued: "It was obvious that the building was a small part of a large building that had been twisted and divided, and this obelisk, popping out of a groove in the wall of a room that was supposed to be a control room. ”

The old goblin closed his eyes as if he were asleep and said nothing, and Pannis sat down across from the old goblin, took Freya's poured tea, and quietly watched the rocking chair sway rhythmically one after the other. Sunlight poured in through the transparent crystal window of the research room, shining warmly on the floor of the research room, but it could not dispel the invisible haze in the room.

"Kyle. Christo said with some frustration: "Do you think that the laboratory has been destroyed by the aftermath of the Great War at the end of the Tertiary Age, because of the fragmentation of the continent?"

"From the available evidence, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Pannis nodded, "Of course, the premise here is that it is indeed the research center we are talking about. However, I think the only one that can be activated with this obelisk is the research center. ”

"Well, that's probably part of the research center. Christo said: "The monsters you mentioned are all artificially modified creatures, and they should be a laboratory in the research center on biological modification. Of course, not all, it is a place for the display and preservation of the finished products of the laboratory. ”

"You don't have to be so disappointed. Pannis smiled bitterly and said: "It should be us who are really disappointed, if the institute is really destroyed, you are just unsatisfied curiosity, and we, heh, Vivien may really have no hope at all, fortunately I didn't tell her in advance, otherwise I really don't know how to say such a cruel thing to her." ”

"I wasn't disappointed, I figured it out two minutes ago. The old goblin raised his head from his rocking chair and said calmly, "I don't think the institute has been completely destroyed, maybe some branches are indeed missing due to the collapse of the earth, but I want to believe that the main part must still exist in its original location." ”

"Why?" Pannis raised his eyebrows and asked expectantly, "You can't be comforting yourself, there must be a good reason." ”

"There are two reasons for this. Christo silently sorted out his thoughts in his heart, and his old face finally brought a glow, and he regained his sharp voice and said loudly: "First, historical records show that during the battle of the end of the Third Age, the area of Kuran was not a hard-hit area, and the collapse was not serious, let alone the complete collapse of a certain area. ”

"It's just an inference. Pannis, however, shook his head and said, "As evidence, it is not sufficient." ”

"So I have a second reason. Christo squealed and laughed: "You don't understand the way goblin technology is powered by it, if the main body of the research center is damaged, the containers containing demonic beasts that you saw under the underground of Angus Village should have lost their effect long ago." But in fact, there is still energy in that area, right, this means that the main body of the research center is still intact, after all, the energy absorption center and the energy distribution and supply center are included in the main part, and if they are damaged, the research center is completely destroyed. Well, the evidence is sufficient. ”

"Well, it makes sense. Pannis touched his chin and said with a deep groan, "Looking at it this way, maybe it's just a small part of the damage that we just happened to encounter." Well, very likely, it looks like I'm going to go to the land of mountains. ”

"I don't believe that if I can't find a reason, you won't go. Christo smiled: "With your character, for that genius little girl, I'm afraid there is only a one percent chance, and you will also go and verify it yourself." ”

"Of course. Pannis glared at the old goblin and said, "But your goblin's technology is really interesting, obviously it has been separated from the main part, and it is more than 4,000 kilometers away from the main part, and as a result, it can still receive the energy distributed by the main part? ”

"So you don't know how Goblin Tech supplies energy. Christo said: "The current magic technology and crystal energy technology, if you want to supply energy, you must rely on the magic array and the Mithril wire to transmit energy, which is too low-level. At the height of the Goblin Empire, the ancestors would use higher ways to provide energy. ”

"A higher way?" said Pennis, frowning, "Is there another way?"

"You're not a scholar, and you won't understand what you're talking about. Christo shook his head and said, "To put it simply, it is a direct energy supply that does not require wires and ignores the distance." ”

"Okay, okay, you win. For the first time, Pannis was hit by his knowledge, and said, "Since you are sure that the main body of the research center is normal, then we should go there as soon as possible." Solving Vivien's hidden dangers earlier can also free her from the pain sooner. Now I watch her roll around in pain in pain where no one is now, but because she doesn't want to put too much pressure on us, she only moans secretly behind everyone's back, and usually has to pretend that everything is normal on the surface, which is really distressing. And according to Catherine, the phenomenon of her body being worn through the skin by bones is becoming more and more frequent, and it will not take more than a year to develop like this...... Forget it, let's not talk about that, if we find a research center, what do you want?

"Most of the materials in the research center are actually useless now, because those things are based on the goblin technology at that time, and most of the other technologies that are now used as basic support have been lost, and those cutting-edge materials alone have no effect. Christo said seriously: "But let me tell you, the goblin clan perished by divine punishment, and now the reason for the legend is that the war that is enough to destroy the world has angered the gods, but it is likely that there is no such so-called war at all." There were other reasons for the demise of the goblins, and some goblin scholars once believed that the cause of the demise of the goblins originated in that research center. So, Kyle, my friend, find out the truth for me anyway, it's something our people have been thinking about for generations. ”

"As you wish. Pannis gave Christo a deep look, and for the first time he saw him look so solemn: "As long as there is the truth there, I promise to find out for you." ”

"Thank you, my friend. (To be continued.) )
