Chapter 57: Old Jack's Discovery
Although the question asked by Alan involved the secrets of the Shenlong royal family, as Yulong said before, this underground palace has long been abandoned, so there is nothing unspeakable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This underground palace has a very good history, according to records, it was built at the same time as Dragon Blood City, and the time was earlier than Longxiao Palace, so this underground palace was naturally built underground, and the current passage was only built when Longxiao Palace was built. ”
Yulong's statement confirmed Allen's guess, no wonder there was such a long passage, although I don't know why the Shenlong Empire wanted to build such an underground palace in the imperial capital, but thinking about people's habits of hiding treasures, you can roughly guess the role of this underground palace.
After the convergence, the group sped up, and soon walked to the door of the underground palace, the black gate with a heavy feeling, like a wall blocking the way, Yulong handed the torch in his hand to the guards on the side, and took out a round golden box from his arms.
At this time, Alan found that there was a circular groove on the stone door, and he saw Yulong put the golden box into the groove, and then reached out and pressed it on a raised pattern in the middle of the box, and there was a small sound in the box, and then there was a huge sound of turning in the door.
With the sound, the stone door slowly slid to the sides, probably due to the recent frequent opening, the stone door opened very smoothly, and soon there was an opening large enough for one person to enter.
Several guards were the first to enter the stone gate, although there would be no danger here, but they still strictly followed the rules, and Old Jack also walked in, just when Yulong wanted to follow, he was stopped by Allen.
"Honestly, what are you trying to do by hiding something in such a secret place?"
"What are you talking about? Of course I'm just afraid that someone will steal it or spread it again. ”
Under the firelight, Yulong's face seemed to flicker and darken, making it difficult to see the true thoughts in her heart, Allen's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly revealed a dangerous aura, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.
"It's better to destroy all of this stuff when it's over. ”
Yulong gave Alan a blank look, "Of course that's the case." Then he shook off Allen and took his hand and walked into the dungeon, Allen was silent for a moment and followed in.
Yulong's heart is a little uneasy, in fact, "dreams" are still very useful, anyone in power will be tempted by it, since Yulong has been made the crown prince, the things she considers will naturally not be so simple, but she is also hesitating.
Because she knows that once this kind of thing stays, no matter what your intention is, there may be accidents, and along the way she also learned about the events of the year from Old Jack, who just hoped that his research results would not disappear, but in the end they were used by people with intentions, resulting in today's situation.
So Yulong has been hesitating about what kind of attitude to use to treat "dreams", but Allen's words just now made her a little uncomfortable, and that tone seemed to be suspecting that she wanted to use "dreams" to do something bad, and people obviously hadn't figured out what to do.
The guards who entered the dungeon first had already lit up all the torches in the dungeon, and there must be ventilation ducts in this dungeon, so there was no need to worry about suffocation.
The confiscated water bags were randomly stacked on the ground not far from the entrance, and Old Jack was already squatting there and began to check, but Alan could not help in this regard, so he wandered around the dungeon at will.
The area of the main hall of this underground palace is quite large, almost the size of five or six football fields, the whole main hall is a regular rectangle, and there are many doors around it, Alan approached one of the doors, tried to push it, but the door did not move at all.
"No need to try, the doors here can't be opened, and the key has long been lost, but it is estimated that there will be nothing inside, so I have been ignoring it. ”
Yulong saw Allen's movements, and kindly reminded him, Allen glanced at the slightly empty main hall again, and turned back to Yulong and asked:
"Has this been so empty all along? Do you know what this dungeon was built for?"
Originally, Alan thought that this was a treasure room built by the Shenlong royal family in the early years, but now when I look at it with my own eyes, I find that it doesn't look like it, this place is inevitably too big, the Shenlong royal family has never been a rich person, and it is too much to spend such a large price to build a treasure room that is almost impossible to fill.
"yes, it's always been so empty, and I'm sorry I don't know what it's built for. Yulong obviously didn't want to talk about this dungeon anymore, turned back to Old Jack, and asked in a low voice.
Alan also gave up the exploration of this strange dungeon, after all, it was not an important matter, it was just a casual question out of curiosity, and it can also be seen from here that Matthew's teaching is quite effective, at least Alan has learned to keep asking for clues.
Old Jack had opened a number of water bags, and he had to ask about each of them, and then taste a little, which made people worry a little about whether he would become addicted to it and become a slave to this "dream", but apparently Old Jack was quite skilled in it, at least for now, he seemed to be in a very conscious state.
Putting down the water bag in his hand, Old Jack looked back at Yulong and Allen, and a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, because from these "dreams", he was almost certain that all his formulas had been leaked.
Old Jack believed that his old friend would not do such a thing, so it was difficult to say if there were other problems in this, either the other alchemists obtained Priscilla's relics, or worse, after all, Priscilla died much younger than Old Jack, but died before Old Jack, and it is difficult to say if there are other problems here.
Old Jack closed his eyes, and it took another moment to open them, which made Yulong and Alan anxious, but they didn't dare to disturb him, seeing the eager expressions of the two, Old Jack finally spoke:
"The unfortunate news is that the recipe for 'Dreamland' has all been leaked. ”
Both Alan and Yulong knew that "Dreamland" had multiple recipes, and now Old Jack's words meant that it would be difficult for them to lock on to their opponents from a certain ingredient, because the opponent could constantly change the ingredient to confuse the public.
"But there's one more thing, and that's that I only recorded one configuration method back then, and they obviously didn't develop a new method, so if you want to make a 'dream', you can't do without that kind of thing!"
