"Let's talk about it. Catherine brought the three into the room with a strange smile, and took the lead in the soft chair in the living room, staring silently at Lina and Vivien.
"Hehe, hehe. Lina's eyes fluttered around, and she said with a dry smile: "Eldest sister, you are smiling...... It's dangerous, hahahaha. Vivien sat with her neck hunched and nodded.
"yes, hahahaha. Catherine laughed a few times, and suddenly slammed the coffee table: "Don't change the subject, tell me honestly, what the hell is going on with you." ”
"Woo, don't you know everything, eldest sister. Vivien lowered her head and muttered quietly.
"I want you to tell me personally. Catherine glared, pursed the corners of her mouth and said angrily: "Such a big matter, you didn't discuss it with me, you didn't tell me, what did you treat me for?"
"We're afraid you're worried. Vivien lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake, and whispered, "We don't want you to worry, that's why we hide it from you." ”
"And then, do you think I won't be worried if I hide it from me?" Catherine looked at Vivien very calmly, "Or do you think I can't be trusted at all to support you in helping you share the danger?"
"No, eldest sister, of course you can be trusted. Vivien stood up in a panic and explained incoherently with a random sign of signs
After a long time, he sat down suddenly, hung his head and whispered: "I'm sorry eldest sister, I was wrong." ”
"Look, look. Lina poked Pannis, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Does the eldest sister look like a mother who has been deceived by her child for the first time?"
"Lina, shut up for me. Catherine turned her head and glared at Lina: "And you, Vivien's brain sometimes can't turn, and you go crazy with her?
The girls hung their heads listlessly and listened in frustration to Catherine's angry reprimand. Catherine's reprimand continued for half an hour, until she was dry-mouthed. Catherine took a sip of the water that Pannis had just prepared for her on the coffee table, and sighed: "Okay, don't scold you two, let's talk about your actions this month in detail." ”
Seeing that Catherine was finally no longer angry, Lina and Vivien looked at each other and snickered, Vivien thought for a while and said, "As you know, Lina and I went to Angus Village first to have a look, and found that there was really nothing hidden, so we left there and went back to the Neville Federation. ”
"We first went to Neville's Morrowind Town, bought a small house in a corner of the town, and then in the basement of the house, we opened up a small hidden room and arranged an exit for a one-way teleportation array. Lina continued Vivien's narrative, "After that, we went to Neville's Fog Wind City, and bought a small house in the downtown area, also arranged a secret room, and set up a one-way teleportation array exit. Eventually, we returned to the town of Kanzil, bought a third house in the Outer Ring District, and built the entrance to a one-way teleportation array, all three of which were encrypted and could only be opened with a fixed special frequency. ”
"So, you're back in the lab at the bottom of the Weeping Cave?" Catherine nodded and said, "But how did you get into the lower cavern, and how did you break through the completely destroyed lab entrance?"
"We don't need to break through. Vivien said with a smug look, "When we were still inside, I had already secretly set up the entrance to the one-way teleportation array. So, after the entrance to Kanzir Town was set up, we activated the teleportation circle and went directly into the lab, and then set up the entrances to match the other two circles inside, so that we had one entrance and two exits to use. Next, I plan to ask Pennis to help me take another portable teleportation circle port to the River of Flames in the lower layer of the Weeping Cave, and ask the fire element Dilan to keep it as a backup emergency entrance, so that the entry and exit are separated, and it is basically guaranteed that there will be no danger. ”
"That's the way it is now. Lina concluded: "According to the rule that the two ends of the teleportation circle cannot exceed three hundred kilometers, we randomly selected two locations as exits within three hundred kilometers around the laboratory, and separated the exit entrances, so as to ensure that even if there is an accident, we will not be blocked in the laboratory. Then Vivien transformed the alchemy puppets in the guard area inside, rewriting the functions of some of the puppets into the daily life type, responsible for the daily hygiene in the laboratory, and the other part of the combat type was also activated, so that even if someone broke in, they would be defeated in front of a large number of alchemy puppets. The next thing to do is to carry a large amount of food to supplement the cold storage inside every time she accompanies Vivian in the experiment, so that she can live in it for a long time. ”
"You're very careful. Catherine's face finally softened: "However, if you live for a long time, what about the concentration of demonic energy in it, is it okay?"
"No problem at all. Lina said with certainty: "It's okay to live in it for a month or even two months, as long as you come out to bask in the sun, it won't have any effect on your body." ”
"So, now that lab is completely under our control?" Catherine finally put her mind at ease, exhaled, and suddenly reached out and poked the heads of the two girls one by one: "You two bastards, scared me to death." Do you know how worried I am about you this month, and you can't let me save some snacks if you don't sleep well every night? ”
"So we're bringing you a gift as an apology. Vivien covered her head with one hand, and quickly grabbed her big backpack in front of her, took out three items from the backpack and put them in front of Catherine: "Look, big sister, this is a gift. ”
"The former director's collection?" Catherine was diverted by the gift and let go of the heads of the two girls: "Hmm, this is a metal engraving by Master Marigas, this is very valuable, why haven't you seen it before?"
"We found the director's office in the core area where we didn't have time to explore. Vivien proudly showed off: "These gifts were found in the office." Sister, you appreciate the gift first, and I'll give you a super surprise later. ”
"Really?" Catherine was skeptical that the surprise was as Vivien had said, but she looked at the next gift: "Ah, this is a porcelain plate in the style of the Pattaya dynasty in the middle of the Tertiary period, and this one plate is at least fifty thousand gold coins now." There is another one, it should be the standard bracer of the Sea Clan Janissaries that were popular for a while two thousand years ago, and it can be activated with Dou Qi to summon the water elemental every ten days. Although I am not satisfied with your reckless entry this time, I have to admit that with these three things, your harvest has exceeded our last harvest. ”
"What is this? Vivien pouted: "Most of all the equipment there can still be used after overhaul, and there are many large instruments, each of which is no worse than these three." ”
"That's right. Lina also patted her bulging backpack: "And you see, I have brought back a lot of good friends, and every time I go in in the future, I can bring out a lot of them, which is the most satisfying harvest for me." ”
Catherine sighed and said, "Although you have gained a lot, I still have to warn you once again that there will be no next time. If there is anything, everyone can discuss it, like this time, although I will feel a little risky, I may nag, but if you insist, can I not accompany you? Without me as a shield for you, without Pannis to help you explore and be vigilant, can you guarantee that you will always be as lucky as this time and everything will go well? So, it will never be allowed in the future, understand?"
"Ha, thank you for your forgiveness. Lina and Vivien took Catherine's hand and shook it a few times, "Never again." ”
"Hmph, you should thank Pennis for helping you speak. Catherine said, "If he hadn't always promised me that it would be okay, I would have chased after him." ”
"Hey, thank you, Pannis. Lina said thank you, but bared her teeth at Pannis, making a threatening expression.
Pannis shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "No matter what the process is, now there is finally a happy result." Well, from the Institute of the Crying Cave ......"
"No, it's going to be called the Nellie Adventure Group Research Institute now. Vivian held her immature chest and said with her head held high, "Exclusive to our research institute, our second base." ”
"Okay, okay. Pannis changed his words: "So, what did you find from the Nelly Adventure Group Research Institute that can be called a surprise?"
"Hehe, you would never have thought of it. Vivien mysteriously took out a neat stack of paper and spread it on the coffee table: "A piece of information, a very important message." ”
"What information?" asked Catherine and Pannis, leaning over the paper and reading it.
"Remember the records we found in the director's locked room? The director's report to King Naryn mentions a treasure room that only the Naryn royal family knows. Lina lowered her voice, looking very mysterious.
"Of course I do. Catherine's eyes lit up: "Could it be that this piece of paper is ......?"
"That's right. Vivien said, "This is the map of the storeroom, and the markings made in magical ciphertext have been translated into lingua franca, but those markings don't mean much, they are all the names of the surrounding places in the past." ”
"Well, it looks like it's in the heart of the Glitter Forest. Catherine lay next to the coffee table, holding a contemporary map in her hand, carefully comparing it with the map on the coffee table: "Although there are some changes, most of the terrain has not changed, it should be the southwest location in the middle of the glitter forest." ”
"This is also more reasonable, the territory controlled by the Naren Kingdom at that time included a part of the Glitter Forest, and it is entirely possible that they will build a treasure room inside the forest. Lina nodded in agreement.
"But the glitter forest is so big. Catherine frowned and said, "Where the hell is it?" ”
"It should be near a hill. Vivien pointed to the map and said, "If you look at the icon here, it should represent a hill. And I have a painting here that I found together, and I think it should be a code word that hints at the entrance to the treasure room, but I can't read it. ”
Vivien pulled out the painting she was talking about, and the picture was very simple, in a dark cave, with a long straight tunnel at the top of the cave leading directly to the outside world, and from the entrance of the tunnel you could see a full moon in the sky. There is a small waterhole on the ground in the center of the cave, which just reflects the moon in the sky.
"What does that imply?" the four men looked at each other, none of whom could understand the contents of the painting.
"No matter. Catherine finally decided: "Let's prepare for three days, and in three days we will set off, aiming for the Flash Forest." By the way, which of you is familiar with the Flash Forest?"
Despite this question, the eyes of the three girls never left Pannis's face. Pannis scratched his cheek in a lot of pressure: "Don't look at me, although I have been there, I am not familiar with it." ”
"It doesn't matter. Catherine said, "No, hire a guide in a nearby village, where many people make a living from hunting, and some of them are good guides." Okay, you go and rest first, and then get ready when you wake up, remember, you'll leave in three days. ”
