The gray-green-skinned Christo walked slowly out of the elevator with a cane, his once flexible steps became trembling, his pointed ears had lost their support, hanging weakly on the sides of his head, his previously agile eyes glowing with cloudy light, a pair of thick glasses framed on his still pointed nose, his thin figure, his rickety back, all the images made him look so ridiculous, as if he were a crappy clown in a country circus. A very short fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid girl in Kristol's side followed closely, ready to hold the old goblin's arm at any time, but she didn't do it for the time being, because Christo didn't allow it, and the old goblin also had his own insistence, and he didn't let others help him with anything he could do, including seemingly simple walking. Therefore, the little maid can only follow her side at all times to prevent the old goblin from falling, and try to maintain the last pride of the old man with practical actions.

“k...... Ahem, Pannis, you're finally back. Seeing the figure of Pannis in front of the reception desk, Christo's cloudy eyes flashed with excitement, and he trotted over at a speed completely inconsistent with his age, grabbing Pannis's arm tightly: "I've been waiting for me to go crazy, why are you only coming back now." ”

"For the last piece of the puzzle," Pannis shrugged and said helplessly: "When I went, I didn't expect that Doris and the sea fox had already sent the puzzle first, since I took other people's things, I must finish the work." ”

"Kay ......" Christo shook his head vigorously, "No, no, Pannis." ”

"Teacher, I already know. Freya hunched her waist, her fat hand grabbed Christo's arm like a coquette, and inadvertently supported the old goblin: "The identity of the hero has been guessed by me, hehe, it's useless for you and your father to hide it from me, I'm so smart, how can I hide it." ”

"You little one. Christo has never been married in his life, and of course he has no children, so he is especially fond of this 10,000-year-old disciple, as if he were his own child. Hearing Freya speak in a coquettish voice, the old goblin felt that his whole body was refreshed, as if he was dozens of years younger, patted Freya's head, and said with a smile: "You're the smartest, okay, but you can guess it's really scaring me." Okay, don't be coquettish, let's come along, and let you see the results of my research. ”

"Huh?" Freya saw that Christo did not go to the location of the elevator room, but walked in the other direction, and asked in some surprise, "Didn't you go to your research room, Teacher?" ”

"You still don't know him, this guy is very timid, he definitely doesn't dare to carry such an important thing with him, it should be put in a special vault underground. Pannis said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have called him down, for he would have to go this way anyway." ”

"Bastard, I'm cautious, won't I speak, what do you mean by cowardice, you idiot. Christo broke away from Freya's support, slowly walked in front to lead the way, and after shouting a few times, he couldn't help but sigh: "You are still the same, you take everyone's everything into account, but you don't want to think about your own business, we friends are watching from the side, I really don't know whether to praise you or scold you." ”

"I wouldn't have listened to me when he scolded me. Pannis stretched out his hands: "I don't need you to scold now." By the way, this little lady looks very familiar, have we met somewhere, since we have met again by such a coincidence, why don't we go to have dinner together after the matter is over?"

"Sure enough, what the eldest sister said is not wrong at all, you are simply a beast, even a fourteen-year-old child will not be spared. Freya quickly pulled the little maid behind her, and said viciously: "Of course you have met, she accompanied me on the way to the wedding half a year ago, and you must have seen her a few times when she got off the car halfway, this is my former close friend, I have watched her grow up since I was a child, warn you, don't beat her idea, otherwise I tell the eldest sister to go, it is estimated that you can only climb the tree and hide all day today." ”

"I was wrong, please don't do it. Freya's threat was obviously quite effective, the corners of Pannis's mouth twitched and she took a few steps back, and secretly glanced at the little maid: "You must have misunderstood me, hahaha, how could I beat her idea, although she is petite and cute, not tall but has good proportions, but after all, she is only fourteen years old, hahaha, I can't be tempted by children, you must believe me." ”

"The more I talk about it, the more I don't believe you. Freya gritted her teeth and said to the little maid, "Renee, go back to the teacher's house and rest away, and stay away from this beast, or I'm afraid you'll be eaten by him." Don't worry, we'll send the teacher back, and the teacher is really, and he will definitely let you stay with him in the research room for several days, so get tired, take a good rest. ”

"Yes, thank you, Miss. The little maid nodded obediently, and with Christo's permission, quickly fled from Pannis, lest she might be eaten if she ran any slower.

"I'm satisfied. Freya gave Pannis a blank look, and clung to Christo's side in place of the little maid. Christo walked over to a wall and tapped it a few times, and the metal wall immediately unfolded to the sides, revealing a hidden elevator behind the wall.

"Only six people have access to this elevator. The elevator is silent and stable, descending at a constant speed along the track, Christo said with some pride: "I did the speed control and power balance, which perfectly solves the problem of unequal speed and excessive noise of the general lift." Unfortunately, the materials used are too complex and expensive, and even a slight reduction in the standard cannot reduce the loss of materials, so it cannot be put into civilian use, which is a pity. Hopefully, in the future, someone will be able to build on this, and it would be better to find cheap alternative materials, which will be a massive leap forward in the field of architecture in the world of Yara. ”

"You're too pessimistic, little Carat. Pannis joked: "Why do you pin your hopes on the people of the future? Maybe this time we go to the place pointed by the cipher disk, and we can bring back some key technologies, and when the time comes, you can get inspiration from it, and you can make up for this regret yourself." ”

"Don't learn to call me Carat from that dead kid. Christo habitually shook his fist angrily, and immediately gasped tiredly and said: "I hope this is the case, I am looking forward to it now and I dare not look forward to it, I can't figure out what I am thinking." ”

As he spoke, the door of the elevator slammed open, revealing a deep corridor outside. Pannis smacked his lips and said, "It's taken so long to arrive, and the ambient temperature has actually risen, it seems that this place is really deep enough." ”

"Of course. Christo said: "Now we are in a position that is 500 meters underground. If someone breaks through the defenses of the Colossus Tower in the lobby and forcibly breaks into the elevator without certification, then when the elevator reaches the middle section, the hedron bombs buried in various locations of this vertical tunnel will detonate at the same time, burying the intruder hundreds of meters underground, just by virtue of this, even if the demigods come, they will be trapped for a long time, enough for them to ask the Tower of Shine and the Adventurer's Guild for help. ”

"It's really cautious to be prepared. Pannis nodded, "I remember you bragged to me and Nelly that the real good stuff of you mechanics was hidden here, right?" ”

"Actually, you misunderstood, the good things you said are not here. Christo shook his head and said, "There are only the most important things here." ”

"Oh, I see, literature and lab notes, recipes and structural diagrams. Pannis reacted immediately and nodded, "Indeed, compared to the finished product, these formula structure drawings and notes are the most important. ”

"That's right, my research notes from all periods of my life are stored here, including my idea for the creation of the demigod power spar gun. Christo's old face turned red with excitement, and he said proudly: "From the beginning of the first period to the beginning of the application of spar energy, so many years have passed, there are only four crystal guns in the world that can be used by demigods, each of which is made according to the user's habits with different principles, and other demigod spearmen other than the maker will always be worse to use, I am the fifth, and it is also made according to my own principles." ”

"I know you're amazing, okay. Pannis patted Christo on the shoulder and said, "But you've been smirking at this door for two minutes, and it's because you got through this door that you never got married?"

"Kyle, I notice that your mouth is now more vicious than those two dead kids. Christo turned his head and glared at Pannis: "Can't you remind me in normal language?"

With a wicked smile, Pannis made a gentlemanly gesture to the door. The old goblin glared angrily for a while, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh along, shaking his head helplessly while laughing, lying on the door and starting to control the magic power, and not forgetting to say: "This feeling is so good, it seems to have gone back to the past, although the person who quarreled has become you." ”

Behind Christo, Pannis's smile slowly faded, with a sad shadow in his eyes, but he said in the same normal brisk tone as before: "I'm afraid there are a lot of traps set up here." ”

"Of course, there are more traps here, and even if you learn the tricks of breaking them from Asker, you won't be able to deal with them here. Christo raised his hand and pushed open the door, explaining casually: "There is no chance of error at all, there is only thirty seconds from the beginning of the input of mana to the end, more than thirty seconds, the doors of the eight rooms in this passage will be locked, and only the owner of the tower with the highest authority of the Colossus Tower can open it again, and after locking, the flames of hell will rage in this passage for an hour continuously." ”

"It's that simple?" Pannis felt that such a murderous defensive measure was not enough: "I don't think so." ”

"Hey, the next step is inside the door. Christo pulled Pannis, and the three of them walked into the secret room together: "It's even more ruthless inside." (To be continued.) )
