Chapter 901: Serving as a Guard

In front of Leo's eyes, the familiar metal cans were neatly staggered, divided into three layers from the bottom to the top, although each layer was divided by a thick metal mesh, but the mesh gap still allowed people on each floor to see the situation above and below.

The reason why Leo said that the scene here is very familiar is mainly because the cyborg workshop that produced him back then was full of rows of cultivation cabins like now, and everything in front of him was like a cyborg manufacturing space in the steam age, which evoked a lot of not very good memories for him.

"Your task is very simple, usually stay here, if someone knocks on the door, go and see who the person is, check the pass sheet on the door, let the people in if there is a record on the pass sheet, and don't let them in if there is no record. The glasses doctor led Leo to a small room next to the door, pointed to a table hanging on the door, and then pointed to a mechanical watch next to him, and said: "If the mechanical watch starts to tell the time, you need to go out and check it, you are mainly responsible for the container on the first floor, mainly to see if the container is damaged, once you find that it is damaged, immediately pull the lever next to the container." Do you understand your responsibilities now?"

"Understood. Leo nodded.

The doctor took off his glasses, wiped them, and said, "If you have any questions, ask them now, I can answer them, and then I will go to the experiment, and I will not care about these things anymore." ”

"Am I only in charge of this floor? What about the top?" asked Leo.

The doctor said clearly: "You are only responsible for this floor, there are other people in charge of it, and you can't go up, and if you go up, the consequences will be equivalent to you violating the strictest prohibition rules of your department." ”

Leo asked, "What if something happens up there?"

The doctor said very seriously: "Even if something happens to the top, or even destroys it, you can't go up." ”

Leo asked, "Do I have to stay here all the time, and when is the break?"

"You'll check in about three times a day, and then someone will come and take over your work, and then you can go back to your room and rest. At this point, the doctor paused again and said, "I don't know if your department made the situation clear when it gave you this task, from today onwards, for the next ten years, you must stay here and not leave, and after ten years, the empire will grant you the corresponding noble seat according to your work." ”

Hearing what the doctor said, Leo was slightly stunned, not because he had to stay in this place for ten years, but because after this work was over, he would be awarded a noble seat, according to the rarity of nobles in the empire now, the value of the noble seat can be said to be extraordinary, let alone ten years, even if it is twenty years, I am afraid that there will be people who are willing.

It's just that since the empire has offered such excellent conditions, it means that this kind of mission is very dangerous, and you may lose your life at any time, otherwise, there will definitely be a flood of nobles in the future.

The doctor obviously didn't think too much about it, and continued: "But you don't have to worry about being bored here, there are many magical things here that will not appear in a few hundred years, you will see and even experience it in the future, you can come here for your luck, cherish it!"

Leo turned his head to look at the guard's room and asked, "What about my weapon, I should have a weapon to use in case of an emergency, right?"

"By the way, I forgot about your weapon. As he spoke, the doctor walked into the room, then motioned for Leo to come over, pointed to a button on the wall, and said, "This is the switch button for the weapon rack, you just need to press the ......"

As he spoke, the doctor reached out and pressed the button, and heard a mechanical sound coming from the surrounding walls, and then the metal plate on one side of the wall quickly lifted, and a weapon rack full of various weapons appeared in front of Leo's eyes.

This weapon rack is not so much a practical weapon rack, but rather a display cabinet of ancient and modern cold weapons, only to see that the weapons in the dark compartment of this wall are all cold weapons, and even the practical flail of the early church knights is also among them, and the only thing that can be regarded as a long-range weapon is a military repeater, and it is also a single-shot mechanical repeater.

The doctor pointed to the weapon rack and said, "You can use these weapons, try slowly, and you will have time to get used to them." With that, he retreated to the back of the room and said, "If you have any problems in the future, you can shake the bell next to you, and there will be a special person to solve the problem for you." But don't touch that thing unless it's a particularly important issue, after all, people here are busy. ”

After saying that, without waiting for Leo to respond whether there was no problem anymore, he turned around and walked quickly towards the laboratory, and soon the figure disappeared into the rows of jars.

Obviously, he felt that it was a bit unreasonable to use this kind of cold weapon for the guards here, and he even felt that Leo would be annoyed by it, so in order to avoid becoming the object of the other party's anger, he would leave quickly.

It's just that he doesn't know that Leo doesn't think that these cold weapons are useless, in fact, according to the people selected and assigned here to be guards, they are all mutants whose physical strength is different from ordinary people, and for these people, if they encounter any accidents, cold weapons may be more convenient than weapons such as steam repeaters.

Leo walked to the weapon rack, picked up a battle axe of the early Maris Kingdom mountain warrior and waved it twice, and found that the workmanship of this battle axe is very fine, it is definitely fine outside, and the material seems to be made of some special metals, so that the battle axe is still sharp, and the weight is also reduced a lot.

However, this also proves that the person who made this tomahawk is obviously not a real cold weapon forger, because the power of the tomahawk is reflected in the weight, and when used, the weight of the tomahawk itself drives the user's body to make various rapid attacks, but now that the weight is reduced, the power of the tomahawk is naturally greatly reduced, and instead of using this tomahawk, it is better to use a sharper and faster long straight sword.

Leo picked out a few more weapons and looked at them, and found that all weapons were the same, although the workmanship was exquisite and the materials were real, but the weight of the weapons, the length of the handles and other details were contrary to the use of the weapons themselves.

After putting the weapon back on the shelf, Leo did not hide the weapon rack in the dark compartment, but let it hang on the wall publicly, then walked to the desk in the room and sat down, picked up a copy of the document next to the desk and read it.

These materials are not important experimental materials, but some records of the work of the former guards, and the content is very simple, such as when the new jars were delivered, when the jars were sent away, when the people were received, etc., from these contents, it is not difficult to see how boring it is to do things here, and the former guards obviously don't know what is in these jars.

At the end of these records, the last record was incomplete, it was supposed to be what happened halfway through the writing, he left to check it, and then never came back to finish it.

However, the records that preceded this record provided some information, such as the fact that he heard sounds coming from some of the jars, and some of them shaking, except that the jars that generated the movement were not located on the level he was responsible for, but on the top floor.

At this time, the mechanical clock on the wall suddenly rang, and Leo saw this, so he casually picked up a knight's sword of the most standard from the weapon rack on the wall, hung it on his waist, and then walked out of the room and walked into the iron can.

Although these iron cans are the same shape, they are large and small, the large iron pipe is almost two or three people high, almost close to the top of this layer, but the small but the jar is very small, only half a person high.

Leo deliberately pretended to inspect the jars as he walked past some of the jars, reaching out and inadvertently tapping the jars to check the inside of the jars through the vibrational feedback of the power of blood.

As he had sensed before, these jars were all concoction tanks, filled with liquid, and some of the mutants whose bodies had undergone violent mutations and had been completely dehumanized were all placed in these jars, some of whom were still alive, but some of whom were dead. And the bodies of the dead mutants are being dissolved by the fluid.

It is conceivable that when the bodies of these mutants are completely dissolved, the dissolved liquid will be turned into a new concoction liquid and reused.

The area of this laboratory is very large, and a rough estimate shows that there are probably more than 700 such iron cans stored on the first floor, and counting the number of iron cans above, the entire laboratory should have more than a thousand iron cans.

Although Leo didn't examine it closely, he could tell from the physical qualities of the mutants who were still alive that none of them were naturally formed mutants, nor were they made by alien cells, but another kind of artificially created mutants, just like that Colin.

It's just that, judging by all indications, this manufacturing method is not very successful, and uncontrollability should be its biggest flaw, but if the mutation tide in Miria City is caused by this method, then this method can be considered successful to some extent.

Leo's inspection was not fast, but it didn't take long, it took about a few tens of minutes to get down, and after he finished checking the iron cans, he deliberately walked past the row of experimental rooms on this floor.

Although the rooms were made of stone and covered with roofs, the floors were still metal, which did not interfere with the vibrational feedback of the blood force.

By the time Leo walked down, he had a general idea of what was going on in the lab on this level.

It has to be said that he was a little surprised by the trials that are now underway here.

Originally, when he saw the man with glasses dressed as a doctor and the iron cans filled with special liquids around him, Leo thought that these people should be using some kind of medical technology to conduct experiments, but after some investigation just now, he found that it was not the case at all, what the experimenters here were doing was actually using the alchemy of wizards to refine the special substances in some special mutated organs on the bodies of these mutants.

Although at first glance this is somewhat similar to medical refinement, in reality there is a huge difference between the two, one through equipment and rigorous science, and the other through that unknown power.

The people in those rooms who were doing the refining work weren't wizards, not even wizard apprentices, but they were able to push the Turing roots on the refining tools.

Through vibration feedback, Leo easily obtains the information of the Turing root on those tools, and the content is not complicated, that is, the Turing root formed by the superposition of three basic roots, and the function is very simple, which is to refine.

According to what Leo knew from the wizard's notes, this kind of Turing root used to refine a certain substance was not uncommon, and in the early days, the wizards of the High Tower would take in many vassal villages, and they would select some people from those villages to cultivate, and those who were gifted would become wizard apprentices, and those who were not qualified would become the lowest helpers.

The main job of these helpers is to extract the part that contains mysterious power from the various substances collected, and later these helpers became the earliest pharmacists on the Velen continent, and with the emergence of herbology and pharmacy, the regular and easier potion making process gradually replaced this unpredictable method of herbal extraction, and eventually this refining method passed down from wizards gradually disappeared.

It wouldn't surprise Leo to see this method reappear and be used now, in fact, countries with a little ability were able to find this complete set of refined Turing roots, and what really surprised him was that the power that drove the Turing roots was not some supernatural power, but the electricity that was now emerging in the world of Velon.

This electricity is not injected directly into the Turing root, but is passed through the wire into a sealed box, and then through the transformation of the box, another short-distance energy wave is formed, which continuously emits radiation towards the Turing root, and finally the Turing root begins to work.

Those dressed as doctors mainly use the light changes on the Turing root to control a rudder-like regulating device to control the intensity of the current introduced into the box, and then refine the desired substance.

It's just that in Leo's opinion, this approach is completely a matter of luck, and it is already very good to be able to successfully refine once out of a hundred refining.

Now Leo is most curious about the sealed box, because the metal plate used around the sealed box has a blocking effect on the power of blood, and also blocks the vibration, making it impossible for him to discover the secrets in the box.

Although Leo was curious about the secret of the energy transformation inside the box, he was not in a hurry, as he still had plenty of time to explore the secrets.

After returning to the small room, he picked up a book of materials again and looked through them, these materials were not important materials, they were all duty notes left by the previous guards, the content was similar, only a few parts of the content would mention some special circumstances, and through these contents, he was able to understand the situation here more quickly.
