The mercenary watched all this with some blankness. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yuffie and Yudina glanced at each other, and the wizard of the Elna people spread his hands, as if to affirm the girl's thoughts.

"This was supposed to be a secret entrance, but because it hasn't been used for too long, the activation circle has failed." Juffie smiled wryly and turned to the organgist, "Alphons, can you please blow up the ground here?" ”

The head of the organ agreed. He turned his palms to the ground and motioned for the group to take a few steps back.

Green flames of light flowed from the silvery white fingers and spilled onto the cracked floor tiles. Wherever the light went, the ground quickly turned to dust and disappeared into the air.

The vertical crater, which is nearly a meter in diameter, extends downward. Suddenly, the green in the air darkened, and Alphonse withdrew his right hand and nodded to Yuffe.

The crowd approached together. Lily looked over and saw only a hole more than ten meters deep, hidden in darkness at the end. She withdrew her gaze.

"If nothing happens, it's a good thing." Yuffie waved his hand, letting the light of light drop from the hole, and then cast a simple spell for himself and the rest, "Excuse me, Lynn." ”

The blonde girl answered and jumped into the pit first. It was as if something was holding her body and slowly sending her to the end of the pit. She looked around cautiously and waved upwards to signal that everything was safe.

Lily and the rest of the group jumped off in turn, with Bell remaining last. Underneath the crater was a room about five meters square, with a complex circle of circles seemingly carved into the floor, and the entire room was almost spotless.

“…… I don't feel like anyone is there at all. Lily sniffed the air, her fingers brushing over the smooth floor, "But it's too clean here?" ”

"Because dust and some of the outside matter interfere with research, this place should have the function of cleaning the visitor's body, but now it is also ineffective." Yuffie walked over to the closed door of the room, and after making sure there were no traps, he gently turned the handle, "Welcome to the Wizarding Institute from two hundred years ago. ”

The originally closed silver door opened, and the scorching air rushed in, making the temperature of the room instantly increase a lot. The air still had a faint smell of sulfur, and although it was still silent, it was as if it had instantly arrived in another world. The mirror-like corridor was paved with a dark red glow that led to the corner in the distance.

Lily felt her heart beat a little faster, and the hunter's instinct told her that there might be a formidable enemy here. It gave her a little nervousness, and even more excitement.

"It's the pure magic of the Fire Elemental Realm." Lin pointed to the corridor ahead, "The magic that escapes has reached this intensity, how big of a trick do they make?" ”

"So we have to be careful." The sorcerer of the Elna people had a heavy face, "This may be the power that the other party borrowed through rituals, but the caster's ability is probably above mine." ”

Lily nodded, and continued to walk ahead with the Organiser. They slowed down a bit, giving Yuffie enough time to make sure the path ahead was safe. Closed doors were scattered on either side of the pathway, and Yuffie stopped in front of the nearest door, carefully checking for traps and traps on the door.

"It's the same as before, it's dead." She sighed, "I don't know if it's because of the time, or because of the drastic changes in the environment...... Even magic has its limits. ”

Lily didn't care about the girl's exclamations. She pushed the door open and found it spacious and tidy, with a platform about a meter high filled with jars and jars, as well as instruments she couldn't see the purpose of. On the shelves next to it are many sealed transparent jars or dark brown vials containing liquids of various colors.

"Hmm...... I don't understand it at all. She tried to read the labels on the bottles and cans, and found that they were full of words she couldn't understand, "Yufie, Lynn, and Yudina, why don't you come and have a look?" ”

The three wizards stepped forward and took a moment to inspect the room and exchange opinions with each other. Then they each took a few bottles and cans from the shelf and put them in the small bags around their waists.

"Most of them are neutralizing reagents, but there are also some finished products...... However, most of them have passed their expiration date. Lin said as she opened a small bottle, licked it with her tongue, and spit it out with a bitter face, "The light potion was supposed to be orange-flavored...... But this bottle has become salty! Sure enough, it's still used to drink......"

They didn't look too closely at it. Even if there were no more demon patrols, there would still be limited time left for them. The team moved on, inspecting a few rooms of little significance, before pausing in front of a two-open door.

"There is a guard on the door so that it can only be opened from this side - and it is still in effect." After the inspection, Yuffie affirmed, "There may be something dangerous inside, do you want to go in and have a look?" ”

"Go?" The mercenary said nonchalantly, "It's all here, what else is there to worry about?" ”

The pink girl hummed and put her hand in the center of the door. Since it wasn't a trap or a seal, it didn't take long to dismantle it. She took a few steps back, signaling that Lily's door was ready to open.

Lily held the greatsword in one hand and pushed the door open with the other. As the door silently turned inward, a smell that seemed to have been deposited for hundreds of years and was too bad to describe came to her face, and she couldn't help but cover her nose and take two steps back.

The space behind the door is quite vast, and the large and small iron cages are scattered all around, and most of them have been twisted to resemble the prototype. The ground was strewn with dark purple marks and the bones of various creatures, from which she barely recognized the skulls of dogs, monkeys, sheep, and humans—many more were so broken that they were hard to identify.

In the center of the room were several waist-high platforms, some just big enough for a person to lie down, others much wider. Silver-white locks hung on either side of the table, apparently used to secure something to it.

The walls and floors were littered with traces of battles of varying shades, some of them caused by spells, which had faded over time; Others are the pits of impact, and the scratches left by the claws. Most of the marks are shallow, making a few of them particularly conspicuous - they are in groups of four, thirty centimeters wide, and have carved parallel lines in the walls that are five centimeters deep and nearly a meter long.

The mercenary slashed at the wall with a slamming thud. She used nearly half of her strength, but only a faint white mark was left on the wall.

"This is the Wizard of the White Tower's biological laboratory...... This. Lynn walked over to her, lowered her eyebrows, and surveyed the room, "For their own research, wizards can be enemies of any creature. Two hundred years before the "Code of Biological Experiments" was completed, the content of the experiment was probably only more excessive—be careful! ”

Before they could finish speaking, a large, translucent figure appeared in front of the two of them, and quickly turned into a physical entity—as if it had been hidden in the air, and only revealed the moment it attacked.

It raised its stout left arm, four sharp claws forged from metal that glistened with cold light, tearing through the air and slashing straight at Lily's chest and abdomen with lightning speed.
