"What the hell is this?" Lily calmed down a little and gasped, "It doesn't look like a creature." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Probably the experimental creatures here, and the wizards' ...... Let's leave it. Yufphe's face was unusually dark, "When the Elna people's spells exploded, they were also turned into undead and trapped in this room. I don't know if it's the characteristics of the undead, or the abnormal magical environment here that prompted them to devour and fuse with each other, and finally create this stitching monster-like ...... Stuff. ”

"The end of those wizards may be as they wish." Lynn sighed softly, "Make yourself part of the experiment." It's just that fusion...... If only it could rest in peace. ”

The two looked at each other and stopped the conversation. They could be spotted by the demon at any moment, and they didn't have much time to be sentimental or spend more time on that monster. After Yuffie had treated Amber and Lily, the Exploration Team moved forward once more.

With Fangcai's lesson, the team members were more cautious before entering the room, but aside from the monsters in the room, the research institute was generally safe.

Along the way, they find some research files left behind by wizards - but the research materials from two hundred years ago are now outdated; A small amount of money and some jewels - gems make good spell materials and are easy to carry, making them more popular with wizards than coins; A list of wizards of the White Tower family - on which Yuffie found the name of Fermir Stark, rated as a mid-level wizard, and framed in black; and a few barely usable magical items - most of the rest, like those potions, had been depleted of mana over time.

Of course, they also awakened some of the wizards' undead. After turning into a skeleton or zombie, the wizard's former knowledge is completely useless. And the usually weaker physical fitness makes them easier to deal with than ordinary human warriors.

No matter what race you are, it is indeed a blessing to be able to have a mind and free will. Yuffie watched as the zombies fell under Lily's sword, thinking wordlessly.

The exploration team rounded the second corner and stopped in front of another two-open door.

"Hmm...... This place is also protected. After the inspection, several wizards discussed, and Yuffie concluded, "Unlike the laboratory, it is not forbidden to leave the contents inside, but not to be opened from the outside. ”

"To put it simply, you just can't get in?" Lily spread her hands.

"Time has weakened protection. It's still in effect, but it won't be too hard to crack. Yudina replied with a grim face, "But are you ready to fight that fused monster or something like that again?" ”

"There may also be a key clue in there, and that's why it's protected." Lynn tried to knock on the door, and it echoed crisply, "What do you think?" ”

"What do you think of your instincts, Yufy?" Lily asked without thinking.

Leaving this choice to her instinct - Yuffie was a little amused, and thought it was worthy of Lily. She walked to the front of the group, stroked the cold metal door, closed her eyes, and let consciousness sink into her heart.

"There's something important in there." Suddenly, she opened her eyes and turned around, "But I also see the danger that is imminent, and it's not easy. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, since it is an important thing, it makes sense to work hard to get it back!" Amber patted the girl on the shoulder hard—but fortunately not with a bear's paw, "As for the danger...... If you don't see the danger, I think it's weird! ”

Lily was the first to agree. Alphonse, Eska, and Bell agreed, in turn, with Amberly. At this point, no one would even consider backing down on the spot.

Yuffie suppressed a trace of uneasiness in his heart, calmed his mind, and began to analyze the structure of protection. As Yudina had said, the centuries-old protective spell had been shattered, and it only took a few minutes for the girl to disarm it.

The metal door slides open from side to side, embedded in the walls on both sides, revealing the interior scene.

It was a spacious hall. The lighting fixtures were still working, a soft milky glow shining evenly from the ceiling, and the floor was paved with gray-white marble, perhaps magically reinforced, and still as clean as new. In the back half of the room was a large mahogany table, flanked by high-backed wooden chairs, and on the table was draped with a curtain embroidered with white towers, silver pegasus, and stars—the emblems of the White Towers, long gone.

In the first half of the room, a colorful serpent is holding its upper body up, staring at the strange intruders with a human female head. Long rainbow-like hair runs down from the top of her head, beautiful and graceful like a dream.

But beauty does not equal safety. Lily stepped in front of Yuffe, her body half-crouching, the greatsword dragging to one side. Bell gripped the cutlass hard. Alphonse also raised his right hand, his eyes flashing over the 'giant serpent'.

"Don't be nervous. I am the caretaker here, but not necessarily your enemy. She spoke, her voice soft as expected, "Can you let me know what you're here for?" ”

Yuffie reminisced about what she had learned. The Naga Guardian is a resident of the Upper Realm, and is often used by wizards as guards to protect important objects due to their extreme commitment and longevity of thousands of years. Most of them are good, but it's not necessarily - there may be good people among the demons.

The girl looked up and saw Lynn step forward first, muttering to Miss Naga about the team's experience so far. She couldn't help but laugh and feel a little relieved. Friendship with all sorts of magical creatures always seemed to be Lynn's natural talent - though she couldn't tell where it came from.

"I roughly get it." After a moment, the patrolman Naga straightened his upper body and slowly turned his gaze in a half circle, "You are the exploration team of the Elna people, the forest is polluted, this palace is sunk into a lock, and a demon has appeared in the lock. She lowered her gaze, "It all sounds like something terrible." ”

Everyone was silent for a moment.

"I was called here to preserve the work of Mantur Stark." Naga uttered a name that was somewhat familiar to Yuphiro, and she thought back for a moment that it was one of the last high-ranking wizards of the White Tower family, the leader of the institute, "As an otherworldly creature, I was able to avoid becoming an undead. For 200 years, I've been waiting for someone to come here - maybe that's you. ”

"It's been so long to be alone...... Lynn is more focused on other places than the research results, "Is it going to be boring?" ”

"Not really, we're very good at taking loneliness. Even in the celestial realm, we often live alone, killing time by calculating various problems. Miss Naga smiled, "I'll give you some of the results later." Now, I hope you will listen to Mantur Stark's last words. ”

Yuffie nodded earnestly.
