(After a whole morning of thinking, I decided that today is better for two, in order to repay everyone's love.) ps,Friends who have passed by ask for a collection and a recommendation.,It's been the last two days on the new book list.,Please give me a gorgeous curtain call)

"For the mage tower, the warning area is generally built outside the tower, and the gate that enters the mage tower through the warning area is the reception area, and the reception area of the mage tower is generally placed on the first floor, one is for the convenience of receiving visitors, and the other is to prevent visitors from entering the core area to spy on any secrets. Walking into the corridor belonging to the reception area, Vivien pushed open a door on one side and entered, revealing a spacious room with a round table of solid wood in the middle of the room, and seven or eight wooden chairs beside it.

"Can it still be used?" Lina approached the table and chair and touched it, and found that it was still in good condition, so she sat on it and tried it, but it was still very strong, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I never thought that wooden furniture could be preserved for so long." ”

"I didn't expect that either. Vivian also admitted: "I guess it's because it's dry and windless, so the life of the tables and chairs has been extended." ”

Lina nodded, but asked puzzledly: "But in the reception room in the reception area, why is it empty, only tables and chairs?"

"What more do you want?" Vivien said with some self-deprecation, "mages are a bunch of creatures with little interest and don't know anything but research. For such a group of creatures, do you expect to find room furnishings in the reception room? You haven't been in my bedroom, just think about it. ”

Thinking of the monotonous arrangement in Vivien's bedroom, Lina realized: "Then there will definitely be no mission items for us here, let's go." ”

"Every reception room is open a little bit. Vivien followed out of the door of the reception room and reminded, "Otherwise, maybe something interesting has been missed, just take a look at it, and don't need to search carefully." ”

"I found that each reception room is different in size, and the porch is also long and short, why is this Vivian, is it because of the identity of the visitor?" asked Lina with interest after opening several reception rooms in a row.

"I don't know. Vivien, who also didn't get anything, didn't expect much in her heart, but she didn't get the slightest frustration at this time: "The reception rooms of the Mage Tower that I have traveled before are all the same size, and I have never seen such a situation. ”

"I guess it's because of the different sizes of the natural caves. Closing the door to the last room, Pannis replied, "This must have been built with the help of a natural cave complex, otherwise if it were all excavated by hand, all the human labor force in Yala would not have been able to be completed without tens or hundreds of years, let alone a small country." So, because the caves on both sides are of different sizes, the rooms are big and small, I guess so. ”

Walk through the corridor of the reception area with rooms on both sides, and open a heavier door. After going through it twice, we have already gained some experience, this kind of heavy metal door is to divide different areas, through such a door, it represents entering a new area, and the ordinary metal door is to separate the various rooms in the area. After leaving the reception area, you will be greeted by a circular corridor with smooth walls on the outside and small doors on the inside.

"This should theoretically be a residential area. Vivien guessed uncertainly, "Other mage towers tend to be habited from the second floor, and this should be no exception. However, this area should be the residence of ordinary people, the most ordinary people of the miscellaneous and guards. ”

Several doors were opened one after another, and inside the doors were small double rooms of the same size, two metal beds, a small double-layer cabinet, and two boxes, which almost filled the entire room. The bed was covered with a simple futon, which had become decayed with time, and the rest of the items were relatively well preserved because they were completely metal.

"Would you like to search one by one?" Catherine asked Vivien for advice, "It's just that there are a lot of rooms." ”

"No, our mission items can't be here. Vivien stopped Catherine's thoughts: "As for other valuable items, no matter what their value, if they could get them, they wouldn't come here to do chores." You know, if you come to a place like this that can only be entered through teleportation to do miscellaneous labor, I'm afraid that you won't have the opportunity to go home once on vacation for a few years or more than ten years, and few people who have other options are probably willing to come here. So we don't need to waste time, just go around the circular corridor and go to the opposite side, the door to the next area should be on the opposite side. ”

"Did you find a problem?" Pannis, who had been silent since entering this area, touched his chin and asked thoughtfully: "I calculated, there should be more than thirty rooms for the handymen here, two people in each room, even if it is not full, it is estimated that there should be more than fifty people living here." ”

"Almost. Vivien nodded, "Is there any problem?"

"Did you see the body?" asked Pannis.

"What corpse?" Vivien didn't react for a moment.

Catherine reacted immediately when she heard Pannis's question, and said with some surprise: "Yes, why are there no corpses? Doesn't it mean that this area suddenly erupted with demonic energy, causing everyone in the research institute to be polluted and demonized, and finally died? Why haven't there been any corpses so far?"

"Maybe, maybe......" Vivien wrinkled her little face and tried to use her imagination: "By the way, demonic energy pollution also needs a process, maybe they found that the demonic energy exploded, so they gathered together and tried their best to resist the pollution?" It's not right, the outbreak of demonic energy is gradual, and it is difficult for the people in it to feel the changes in the demonic energy around them, especially in such a closed environment, it is difficult to find out without people from the outside world entering, and when they can find it, they are basically already heavily polluted and close to the edge of demonization, and they have no chance to concentrate in advance. ”

"That's right. Catherine echoed: "And the pollution of demonic energy is very difficult for ordinary people to bear, most ordinary people will die under the pollution, and they don't even have the opportunity to demonize, so it doesn't make sense to say that they are concentrated after demonization, and the dead have no chance to concentrate." ”

"Could it be that these people are not demonized, and they are not dead here?" Vivien couldn't be sure now, scratching her head and thinking hard.

"No, they did die. Pannis suddenly turned his head, took a few steps back, opened a door that had been opened before, and walked over to one of the beds: "Look at the traces of this. Death here may not decay but only wither, but in any case it will still leave a trace, and this trace is left by the corpse. ”

"Anyone else here?" Catherine's face grew serious, "They took the body?"

"Not now. Pannis shook his head: "This trace can be seen to have been a long time, and it looks like the body was taken away at least a few hundred years ago." But think about the guy who attacked Rachel and them again, and think about the clothes on him, what did you figure out?"

"I can't figure anything out. Catherine replied dryly: "I don't understand what is going on at all." ”

"That's right, I don't understand it at all. Pannis suddenly turned back and faced Gasteen, "We can't figure out what's going on, do you understand?"

"Me?" Gasteen was startled by Pannis's sudden question and pointed to his nose, "How could I possibly understand?"

"You don't understand. Pannis sighed meaningfully: "It's okay, let's continue to go inside, there will always be a chance to reveal the mystery." Vivien, where's next?"

"Down, oh, oh, that's where the research mages live. Vivien turned around, no longer bothering to look from room to room, and led a few people around the circular hallway, through a three-meter-long passage, and into the next area. As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a hall of more than 3,000 square meters, with hundreds of sets of tables and chairs placed in the hall, and there are several small rooms with open doors on both sides of the hall.

"This is a restaurant and a place for mages to rest, and it seems that there are only about a hundred mages doing research at the peak of the number of people here. Without stopping at the restaurant, Vivien walked through the door at the other end of the restaurant. On the opposite side of the gate, there are six consecutive oval spaces, which connect the city in a straight line, and each oval space has six or seven gates on both sides.

"This is the residence of the mages, and it is important to start exploring carefully from here, especially the notes, from which it is possible to deduce the location of the quest items. ”

"Six porches, there are seventy or eighty rooms, shall we all inspect them carefully?" It was Justin who asked the question, and he asked with a bitter face, "How much effort does it take?" ”

"You can wait at the door and search without having to follow up. Vivien was very cold to Gasteen, to be exact, everyone was very cold to Gasteen: "Let's just search." ”

"Forget it, I'd better go inside. Gasteen looked at the deep and silent corridor, and there was no one except them, and there was no other voice, and he said with some uneasiness: "We can take care of each other when we go in together." ”

"Huh. Vivien smiled noncommittally without comment, and walked to the door of the first room, her hand on the doorknob.

"Hey, there's a sign here. Gasteen suddenly pointed to the wall across the door and shouted, "It looks man-made." ”

"What mark?" Vivien looked back, but her hand had already pressed the doorknob and opened the door.

The soft "click" sounded at the same time as the sound of the door opening, and the two sounds were mixed together to make it almost impossible to distinguish. With the sound, a cloud of liquid fell from the sky, and the landing point was that Vivian, who had already entered the door half of his body, but still looked back at Vivian, who was looking back, was distracted at this time, and did not notice the liquid spilled on his head at all.
