The two girls, who had stopped arguing, finally noticed what was happening, and the advancing team had stopped while they were discussing amicably, and at the end of the tunnel in the permafrost appeared to be a wall, which was so stained with mud and frost that it was barely discernible in its original color. To the right and above the wall, there is a bulge that resembles a door frame, but not on the left side, or is not visible on the left side, and the raised door frame extends into the permafrost.

"These ice crystals are lazy enough. Pannis pursed his lips and muttered dissatisfiedly: "If you want to dig a tunnel, you don't just expose the whole door, but only half of it is exposed, and the other half seems to have to dig it yourself, which is very tiring." ”

"You're here again. Catherine glared at him angrily, and did not touch the wall, but looked carefully near the door frame for a while before saying, "It's okay, it's not half of it, at most a quarter of it hasn't been in the frozen ground, it's easier than expected." You should actually think differently, if we don't have the help of the ice crystals, even if we find the location of the ninth laboratory, we will have to dig through the ice and frozen soil of more than 200 meters by our own strength, which is much harder than now. Ava, you've confirmed it before, but once again, is the inside of this building the ninth laboratory of the goblins, and are there any external defenses on the walls and gates?"

"There is no defense system in motion. Eva said with a stiff expression: "I can confirm that this is the Ninth Laboratory, and I have received a response from the Control Center of the Ninth Laboratory, and the connection is being established, please wait." ”

"Well, although you're starting to connect to the control center again, it's better to be intentional and humane in your way of speaking. Catherine thought for a moment and persuaded, "This will be more conducive to your adaptation to human behavior and identity." ”

"Okay. Eva's eyes lit up on behalf of the data, and after a moment she replied, "I see, I'll try to keep the human way I behave, the connection has been established, the data exchange is underway, the estimated time, three minutes and forty-seven seconds." ”

"Alas. Catherine sighed. Abandoning the habit of correcting Eva, he reached out and wiped it on the dirty wall, and although it had been in the extreme cold for 10,000 years, the performance of the goblin metal did not deteriorate. The dirt and frost, which were still as smooth as new, seemed to be firmly attached to the gate, but with Catherine's wiping, they easily detached from the surface of the gate, revealing the silver shiny metal under the dirt. It is a door that opens horizontally to the sides, and the left and right doors are closed tightly. There was only a small gap in the middle, as seen in Angus Village before.

Lina poked Pannis's waist and pouted, "Aren't you able to open the door with a strip of cloth, why don't you try?"

"Because I'm afraid. Pannisy rolled his eyes to the sky and shook his head vigorously, "Opening the door abnormally, if something like a trap is triggered, it will be bad." We may not be afraid of those traps, but I don't think that healer has the same defense as we do, and if the healer is affected by the traps, do you think Catherine will kill me?"

"I guess not. Lina actually really thought about it, and said seriously: "Well, it will definitely not." If you try it or not, I'm sure I won't lie to you. ”

"I don't, I'm going to try you. Pannis refused: "You don't have to use your brain to guess the ending, so I won't do it." ”

"Have you two had enough, have you played enough to help. While Lina and Pannis were teasing, Catherine had already wiped the dirt off the entire gate, took out a shovel from her backpack, and beckoned: "Let's start digging now, I think this project is not small, and it will not be completed in a few hours." The earlier you start, the sooner you can get in. ”

"Wait a minute. Eva, who was connecting with the internal control center, suddenly stopped Catherine, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, there shouldn't be any need to dig, there is a way to open this door." We'll talk about that later. ”

"Don't you need it?" Catherine was stunned, looked the silver door up and down, and suddenly said, "Oh, that is, the left and right doors don't need to be opened at the same time, you can only open one side? ”

"Yes. Eva responded to Catherine's question in the simplest of words, and continued to stand still in a daze and exchange some data with the control center. It wasn't until another minute passed that he raised his head, and there was a faint excitement in his voice: "The data exchange is complete, the basic control permissions have been obtained, and more usage permissions need to be activated after further interaction." The existing daily maintenance data shows that the whole body repair automatic treatment device is in good condition and can be put into use after simple testing. ”

"Click", hearing Eva's words, Vivien seemed to be drained of all her strength, and fell backwards with a limp of her body, no one was mentally prepared for this reaction, if it wasn't for Freya standing behind her, I'm afraid she would have landed on the back of her head defenselessly. However, fortunately, the mage girl immediately shook her hand, stood up again, and explained with a slightly red face: "Don't be nervous, I'm fine, it's just that there was a little problem with the puppet manipulation technique just now, it must be the sequelae of the deterioration of the condition before, and it has only been exposed now, that's right, that's it." ”

"Snort. Lina and Catherine couldn't help laughing at the same time, and Catherine said with a smile: "You guy, it's the first time I've seen you so cute." Okay, okay, I know it's the sequelae, don't worry. ”

"Hmm", the silver door on half of the side of the ninth laboratory was opened under Eva's control, but when it opened, it was not as smooth as other goblin buildings, it seems that the low temperature and the weight from the stratum still caused some damage to the building's equipment, but fortunately, the degree of damage was relatively low, and it was within an acceptable range. From the open door, you can see another door that has not moved, and the two doors are connected in a zigzag shape, so that all the dirt and debris can be kept out of the door, and it can also mitigate any impact from both sides of the door to some extent, and the design is almost exactly the same as the goblin ruins of Angus Village.

At the same time as the door opened, the lighting equipment in the research room flashed and lit up in turn, illuminating the laboratory more brightly than during the day. Behind the door, there is a horizontal corridor that glows softly all around the hallway, leaving only a faint shadow. The corridor is relatively low, only a little more than three meters, and at first glance it is in the style of goblins, and on the walls on both sides of the corridor, you can occasionally see some portraits of people hanging.

"These are all members of the Medical Hall of Fame, scholars who have made outstanding contributions to biology in the 7,000-year history of goblins. Eva pointed to the portrait and explained, "No, to be exact, there are scholars in this laboratory who have contributed to medicine, and all the researchers are proud that the portrait can be hung here after death. ”

"Well, that's so little. Vivien looked along the wall, in fact, the portraits on the wall were similar in appearance in everyone's eyes, and it was difficult to distinguish each individual, but fortunately, there was a profile of the character and the achievements obtained under the portrait, and Vivien could barely read most of the goblin script, so she could distinguish it by the introduction. Walking down the corridor for a while, the mage girl suddenly let out a surprised whisper, pointed to a goblin with a slightly high nose on the wall, and said, "Hey, this person, the name is, yes, Anton, well, Anton? ”

"You've found this guy too. Eva nodded, "That's right, he is the inventor and manufacturer of the whole-body repair automatic treatment device." In fact, he was originally a manufacturing businessman, but he was born with a love for biology, so he has been studying in his spare time, and his theoretical level is very high, but he has never actually treated patients. His invention of the healing instrument, which was an epoch-making achievement in the history of medicine, was exceptionally awarded the title of first-class scholar in medicine by the Goblin Coalition Government, and after his death, his name was inducted into the Medical Hall of Fame, as you can see now. ”

"I suddenly felt a little kind. Hearing Eva's explanation, the psychological factors made several girls have a great affection for the goblin in the portrait with an upturned nose and two slightly different eye sizes, and the girls bowed in front of the portrait in turn before passing, silently thanking him for bringing a device that could treat Vivien.

"By the way, which one is Dr. Serchi?" Lina bowed and suddenly asked, "Eva, you should be able to remember the arrangement of these portraits, take us to see them, I think you need to pay some respect to Dr. Serqi." ”

"It's a pity. Eva shook her head and said: "Dr. Selqi is not qualified to be inducted into the Medical Hall of Fame, although he discovered Selqi syndrome, but from the perspective of the overall medical history, there is no outstanding contribution, so although some descendants have proposed to posthumously consider him a member of the Hall of Fame, but after the discussion of the Medical Federation, he was finally defeated." ”

"Hey, I don't have any vision. Lina pursed her lips and waved the novel in her arms in the air, not knowing whether she was simply venting her anger or fantasizing about beating up the members of the Federation who refused to induct Dr. Selqi into the Hall of Fame.

A few people walked all the way along the corridor, browsing the portraits with serious expressions on the wall with great interest, and occasionally encountered people of interest, so Eva introduced the life and achievements of this scholar to others one by one, and the history of goblin medicine for seven thousand years, so it was connected by a series of portraits, and slowly unfolded in front of the girls.

The corridor is long, and there are many portraits, but there is always a moment to finish. After skipping a few doors in the hallway, Eva and the other five stopped in front of a metal door. After a beep, the metal door slowly opened to the sides, and Eva took the lead and walked in: "This is the road to the laboratory where the healing instrument is located, come with me."
