0 Dangerous Relics

Jue and his party walked through a small hole in front of them, which was an empty corridor into which some plant roots had penetrated, and some of the fractures of the iron walls had been severely oxidized and showed some signs of mineralization.

"Where is this?" said Ice Chidori as he looked around.

"It should be the passage of the warehouse to the north," Jue said as he lit it with spells, "There should be some experiments to be developed in the depths of this place...... Well, if I'm not mistaken, some very dangerous semi-finished products are still here. Jue said with a headache expression.

"If the record is so detailed, why hasn't it been found?" asked Shani.

Jue knows so much, for Xia Ni, it is because Jue has read a lot of literature. And since the documents record such detailed contents, it is likely that the location of the ruins will also be recorded.

Most of these messages were written down from memory by some fugitives at the time of the cataclysm, and no one would know about the fall of Atlantis at the time, so the location of the warehouse was still treated as a military secret. "In other words, people only wrote down the goods in the warehouse, but not the strategic information about the warehouse." ”

Jue nodded after hearing this, as if he fully agreed.

When Naal on the side saw it, he said, "It's amazing, have you all read so many books?"

"Yes, it's my job!"

"Ah, it's just idle. ”

Lomi and Jue gave different answers at the same time.

"The motivation of the two of them is really interesting. Nal said with a wry smile.

Maybe Lomi was too excited to say it just now, and it alarmed the bats that inhabit it. A large number of bats scurry around in small spaces.

"Are you alright?" Jue asked after the bats had passed. At this time, Ice Thousand Birds was already clutching Jue's clothes.

"Hey, you're a big general, can you not be so unproductive?" Jue whispered to Bing Chidori beside him.

"No, there is no way...... "Ice Bird looked ahead in fear and wariness, "How did you know there would be so many bats?!"

"No, haven't you changed your character even if you are afraid of animals?" Jue said, as if talking to himself, as if he was saying it to Ice Chidori.

Ice Nestory looked helplessly ahead, and at the same time she also looked at the demon dragon who was with the team, and she was also holding Jue's other arm.

Although it is comforting that someone is as afraid of Ice Chidori as she is, she also doesn't like it when others choose Jue as a shelterer like her. However, she was not a bad boss for her subordinates, so she just coughed lightly and then gave her hand away.

It's a pity that Ice Nestory's hint didn't alert the demon dragon.

Ao Li was naturally taken aback, she grabbed Jue's arm in a daze and walked forward, and her whole person was so frightened that she shut down.

"Hey, Oli. Jue stretched out his hand and shook Ao Li and whispered, "Why haven't you recovered yet?"

After Ao Li reacted, she said "ah" innocently, and then immediately reacted to her gaffe and let go of her hand.

At this time, Ice Thousand Birds was already looking at each other coldly.

"Haha, it's really amazing here, I didn't expect animals to inhabit here. Lomi said rather innocently in front.

"Miss Lomi, why are you so obsessed with magic weapons?" asked Shani as she looked at Lomi.

"Hmm, that's a complex. "I love stories, and I read about Atlantis as a child, and I admired the Terrans who were weak and powerful at the time, and I was fascinated by their powerful magic civilization. ”

"That's right. ”

"And!" Lomi said excitedly, "Don't you think it's strange? Obviously, the Terran is so weak, and the only transcendent at that time was Odin, but he gathered the Terran and established a civilization under the World Tree under the extreme conditions of the royal race? The development of science and technology requires a stable internal environment, but the cohesion of the Terran was not strong at that time, what is it that unites this race? More importantly, it is clear that the royal race is more powerful, but only the Terran has established three unified regimes in history, don't you think it is strange? ”

Halfway through speaking, Lomi shifted his gaze to Jue, as if begging Jue for an answer.

"Uh...... Don't look at me, I don't know. Jue pursed his mouth slightly and said.

Ice Chidori and Shani looked at each other, and they both realized that Lomi seemed to value Jue's opinion.

The group said this as they moved forward, and in a moment they came across their first obstacle, a half-open iron door.

"Oh, even after 100 million years, it's still not fully mineralized?" said Ice Nestory, looking at the door.

Normally, if a steel had existed for 100 million years, it would have been mineralized and returned to the rock cycle, but this is still here, so people are very concerned.

"There's a special spell circuit in it for time fine-tuning," Jue said and glanced at Ouyang Taxue to let her open the door, "In the previous era of scarce resources, how could there be so much time and money for the constant maintenance of items, and only a special spell circuit could be engraved inside to ensure that it was in good condition." ”

"But there will be interference between the circuits, how can this problem be solved?!" Lomi asked immediately.

"It's just a matter of trying to keep these two things running separately. The idea is given to you, do you have any solution?" Jue said, guiding this Lomi to think independently like a teacher.

"Hmm...... Ahh

"Clever. Jue snorted.

At this time, Ouyang Taxue also opened the door with the access card in his hand.

"Authentication...... Certification successful. Identity: Guard. Confidentiality Level: Low. Name: Not documented. There was a muffled sound from the steel door, and then the door slowly opened with the crunch of chains as they were stretched.

As soon as the door opened, there was a "clang" sound from inside the door, as if some heavy steel was coming.

Sure enough, a huge puppet several meters tall was walking over step by step. It was almost three meters tall, its entire body covered with a dozen centimeters of heavy iron sheet, and it held a giant axe in its hand.

"Enemy!" said Ice Chidori, as the girls around Jue prepared to fight the seemingly invulnerable giant puppet.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Jue hurriedly stopped them on the side, "This thing won't attack us, probably." ”

"You're probably out of the game. Nar said with a frown. And Ao Li, who was dressed as a demon dragon, was also trembling there, not because she was afraid, but because Naer's words just now hit her laugh.

Sure enough, the puppet didn't attack the group, it just scanned Ouyang Taxue, and then scanned the people behind him.

"Ouyang stepped on the snow and stood here with us. Jue whispered.

After Ouyang Taxue heard this, he slowly retreated into the group.

The puppet watched and left silently, and no one knew where it had gone.

"Whew~ That was ...... just now," Ice Chidori breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nomads. Jue said, "A kind of siege puppet like a meat shield, generally speaking, this thing will not let this thing guard the door, but this is the first door, so it would be better to give the other party a dismount first." ”

"It's really creative. Shani said with a wry smile.

Jue nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

"So where is that thing going? Looks like it's a dangerous thing. Shani asked again.

"No, it's not very strong in terms of strength, and its only function is to split the enemy's city gates and accept the fire of the defenders in the city. Ah, is that two things?"

Inside the door, the interior is revealed.

It is a huge cylindrical space with many glass jars on the inner walls of the space. Some of them have been shattered, but some of them have retained their contents - some materials, both solid and liquid. Both solids and liquids are suspended in the air and do not come into contact with the inner wall.

But it would be incorrect to say that the jars were made of glass, because they don't look like glass with neat fractures. It's more like a purified substance that has undergone some colloidal matter.

"These are ......," Lomi asked, looking at the scene in front of him.

"Material room. Jue walked forward, "The things here are all high-grade materials at that time, some of them were trained by alchemists, and some were excavated naturally. ”

Jue walked to a platform with several holes with crystals floating on them, and several of them were no longer crystals.

"Has it been damaged like this?" Jue looked at the platform in front of him and said, "The basic functions have been lost, and it will take a while to repair it......

"What is this?" asked Lomi.

"It's just a console. Jue said and stretched out his hand to repair the console. Some of the surrounding stones gathered towards Jue's hand as if they had liquefied.

"Don't mess around here. Jue said, "Since the storage jar has been broken, it proves that the holding spell on it has lost its function." Some materials are things that can kill you. ”

"Deadly?!" Ice Chidori was shocked when he heard this, "Do you all have this kind of thing all day long?!"

"That's something that only high-level people are qualified to touch, and ordinary people are not qualified to touch. Haven't you even heard of it? ”

"That's right...... Aren't you a high-ranking officer?!" Ice Chidori said, "Aren't you going to be killed by this thing at any time?!"

As soon as Ice Chidori said this, Xia Ni and the others looked at Jue, as if they didn't realize the problem before.

"Thank you for your concern. Jue said as he repaired the console, "But we have all undergone rigorous training, and those who can reach the advanced level have survived the intermediate level and have some experience." Jue turned his head to look at Xia Ni and the others, "There is no way for a person who dies in the intermediate level to become a high-level person. ”

Jue's words made Shani and the others shut up.

"But......" Nal walked to the front door, "is there any authentication on this access card?"

"Everyone's access card is authenticated. Jue repaired the console, "It's just that this access card doesn't have such a powerful information network as it is now, even if someone makes a fake, it can be opened." ”

"And what's in my hand?" said Nal, pulling out her access card and looking back and forth.

"Everybody's the same. Jue said, and then he began to manipulate the crystal into the empty slot on the console.

"Is there a more advanced access card?" asked Ice Chidori as well, looking at the card in his hand.

Jue nodded. "Yes, it's just that advanced access cards are difficult to make. I chose a better access card to make. ”

"Have you been making it since last night?!" asked Lomi.

"Ah, I've just researched some processes that can mass-produce low-level magic weapons, so I gave it a try. Seems to be okay. Jue said and injected energy into the crystal.

"Is there any difference between a premium access card and a regular one?" asked Shani.

"Yes, there are some places where you can get in with a premium access card, and some where you won't. Even when you open it with a low-level access card, it will directly trigger the guard puppet inside. ”

"Hopefully, we'll be able to tell what the door is in the high-level area. Nar said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, I'll show you the way. Jue said, "Only this area has a high-level area, and there are no other places, which is why I let the others go first." ”

"You're familiar with what's in there. Ice Chidori said.

While talking, Jue activated the console.

He lifts some of the crystals up, and then pushes them down, or moves some of them into position.

The storage jar on the wall began to move. Without any power, the storage tank flew towards Jue.

"This is...... Wow, it's beautiful!" Shani said, looking at the metal in the storage jar.

That's some minerals like pouring red dye and black dye into white dye. The ink-like colors give people a poetic feeling.

"Is this some kind of dangerous good?" asked Ice Chidori.

"No, it's a piece of ...... I told you the name, and you didn't understand it. Jue took the jar from the air and opened it. "I can't imagine that I can get something so rare. ”

Jue constantly examined the mineral in his hand, and he looked at it like a critic.

"This thing is mostly used to make the skeleton of magic weapons, but under normal circumstances, what is mined is some broken things, but I didn't expect that there is such a complete piece here. ”

"Is there any value in the whole piece?" asked Lomi, like an intern student.

"It's not valuable, it's just rare. And don't you think this ore is so beautiful?"

The girls around Jue looked at each other, and then smiled awkwardly.

What's the same thing, is Jue's aesthetic only like this?

Shani and the others thought in unison.

"Is there any other important material here?" asked Lomi.

Jue looked at the wall and said, "There are some Tao, but you can wait until you leave to come back and get them." ”

"Yes. Lomi said.

Jue looked at it for a while and said, "But there are really some very dangerous materials here." That, that, and that are all very dangerous things, and they can't come into contact with the air cut. ”

Jue pointed to several storage tanks, some of which were solid and some of which were liquid. If you have good eyesight, you can see that the jar is labeled with a hazard tag.

"And how did you get these, and if you mine them, something will happen, right?" asked Ice Nestory, puzzled.

"It wasn't mined, it was made with alchemy. Jue said and refined the stone in his hand into water. "Some things can only be obtained by alchemy, which is why alchemy appears in the world. ”

At that moment, the earth suddenly began to tremble, and a dull rumbling sound came from above and shook the place to smoke and dust.

"What's wrong?!" Nal said, looking at the ceiling.

"Was it an earthquake? Or is it ......" Just as Jue was speaking, Jue's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Jue...... Demon ......"

The call was made by Ying Ning, but since they are now underground, contact with the outside is intermittent. But Jue can hear some information from it—the demons are coming.

"Did you come here so soon?" Jue said after hanging up the phone.

"Get out of here now, we're in danger if the people outside can't stand it. Ice Chidori said.

Jue put away the minerals in his hand and planned to leave. But at this moment, an even stronger vibration came, and the surrounding walls could not withstand such a powerful vibration and cracked. Since the blast wave was not absorbed by the walls, the excess energy was transmitted towards the storage tank.

The storage tank began to shatter or twist in the vibration, and some of the material inside flowed out directly. Naturally, the tanks that stored the dangerous goods could not withstand the impact and shattered.

Dangerous materials explode strongly the moment they come into contact with the air. It was far more powerful than the shock coming from above, and the explosion did whatever it wanted in this cylindrical warehouse. The floor cracked open as if someone had slashed it.

"There's one more layer underground!" said Ice Chidori as he looked at the gaping crack under his feet.

It's a pity that it was too late, such a short time didn't give Ice Chidori and them time to activate the flying spell, and all the girls fell into the lower level, leaving Jue alone in place.
