Chapter 747: Secret Base
This basement is a natural cave remodel, most of the place retains the original form of the cave, only some support columns have been added in some key places, and torches and braziers have been placed on the support columns and some walls, which are supposed to be used for lighting, but because of the age, the wood inside is still rotten.
Leo and Sylvia walked up a short stone staircase to a small hall.
The room was a bit large, built like a banquet hall in a castle, with a huge brazier carved out of stone in the middle, surrounded by three stone sculptures, and around the hall were four small rooms of the same size, the room had no door, but there was a blue barrier similar to the energy stance that formed a wall to seal the room, but the contents of the room could still be seen.
I saw that those rooms were a study room, a laboratory with a large number of alchemical equipment, a bedroom and a storage room.
"Looks like this should be someone's secret base at the time!" Sylvia said with a smile at the sight in front of her.
"To be able to build such a secret base and keep the energy for so long, it seems that the identity of the owner of this secret base is not simple!" Leo analyzed it briefly and said, "I hope something of value can be left here." ”
At this moment, Sylvia stepped into the hall, and Leo, who was following behind, suddenly felt that the calm energy around him was suddenly activated, and followed like a tide towards the three stone figures next to the brazier.
"Be careful, there's something wrong with those three stone figures. Leo handed the torch to Sylvia, walked forward quickly, activated the reinforced neural network on his body, and said to Sylvia, "Help me watch out in the back." ”
As he spoke, the three stone figures shook almost simultaneously and slowly rose from the ground.
Leo knew very well that the three stone figures were probably something like a vigilant robot, and he naturally would not wait for the three stone figures to be ready to attack, so he kicked the ground with his right leg, and the stone slab under his feet also shattered under the huge force, and then his whole person rushed towards the stone statue like a cannonball.
The stone figure was not in combat mode at all, and was punched in the waist by Leo, who was wearing twin fists.
The power transmitted from the fist gloves was like some kind of heavy cannonball, breaking the waist of the stone figure more than three meters high, and the upper and lower parts of the body were carried out by the remaining force. Crashed into the stone figure on the other side, knocking it to the ground.
Leo didn't stop there, moving laterally, knocking down another unaffected stone figure.
The stone figure seemed to have entered an attack mode, and smashed a punch directly into Leo's head as Leo approached.
Although the fist is powerful, the speed is too slow, not to mention that the enhanced neural network has been activated, even if it is not activated, it is very easy for Leo to dodge such an attack.
I saw Leo tilt his head slightly, dodging the stone fist that smashed over, and then his fist, which was already full of strength, smashed into one of the legs of the stone figure at once, directly breaking that leg.
Losing the support of one leg, the stone figure fell to the ground in front of him, and Leo circled around to avoid the fallen stone figure, and at the same time, his fist swung with the rotation of his body, smashing the stone figure's head to pieces with a single punch.
When Leo was about to deal with the third, Sylvia drew her sword and cut the stone figure in half.
After sensing that the energy on the three stone figures was rapidly dissipating and could no longer form a kinetic force for activity, Leo picked up the torches on the ground and was about to check if there were other means of defense around him, but he found that Sylvia's expression seemed to be a little serious at this time, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with my cane and sword. Sylvia looked at the staff sword in her hand and said, "It's not as sharp as before, and I feel that the power inside the staff sword is weakening and draining, and there are many abilities that cannot be used." ”
"It seems that this cane sword, like some of the power in my body, will be affected by the different worlds. Leo took the staff sword from Sylvia's hand, examined it carefully, and said, "You'd better not use this staff sword again, otherwise if all the power inside is lost, I'm afraid this staff sword will be irreparably damaged." ”
"Hmm!" Sylvia replied a little helplessly, she finally got a sharp weapon, she was just familiar with it, she was used to it, but she couldn't use it, which made her really unhappy.
"Where's the crossbow?" asked the attentive Leo again.
"The crossbow? should be fine, right? Sylvia hesitated for a moment, her tone was not so sure, she took off the hand crossbow hanging from her waist and looked at it, her slightly furrowed brow showed that the situation did not seem to be very good, "It can only be used as an ordinary hand crossbow, and the extraordinary power in it cannot be used either." ”
Leo comforted her and said, "It's okay, even if you can't use supernatural power, this crossbow is a sharp weapon in this world. ”
"Hmm!" Sylvia replied noncommittally, slung her crossbow to her waist, put her sword back into its scabbard, turned it back into her staff, and then looked around and asked, "Are there any other fortifications here?"
Leo carefully surveyed the surroundings, felt the power around him, and said, "There should be no more, what we have to do now is to deal with these walls formed by extraordinary powers." ”
"Let's start with ...... Hey, what is this?" Sylvia was about to go to the door of the collection room to find a solution to the wall, when she noticed a flash of light from the rubble on the ground, so she immediately stopped Leo, crouched down, swept away the rubble, and found an eyeball-sized gem from the rubble.
"Looks like we don't need to worry about money anymore. Sylvia handed the gem to Leo, and then found a similar gem from the other two piles of stone figure rubble.
Leo took the gem and looked at it, shook his head slightly, and said: "This should be the energy core of these stone figures, the stone figures have been destroyed, and the energy core has also been damaged, you take a closer look at the cracks in the gem, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sell for a good price." ”
Sylvia didn't want to believe it, looked at the gem in her hand at the light of the torch, pouted a little helplessly, turned her head to look at the collection room, and said, "I hope there can be something good in there." ”
The two walked outside the collection room, and through the transparent force field wall, they could see that there were more than a dozen large and small boxes neatly placed in the collection room, not to mention that a dozen boxes were treasures, as long as a box contained valuable things, they didn't have to worry about money anymore.
Leo didn't venture to touch the harmless-looking force field wall, but picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the force field wall.
When the stone hit the wall of the force field, a spark immediately erupted, and then the stone was bounced away, and there were burn marks on the surface.
"I really can't figure out how those elves were defeated by ordinary humans in Tousente with such magical extraordinary powers?"
Leo also couldn't figure this out, so he didn't give any answer.
Leo picked up a few more stones from the ground, and then kept throwing them at the force field wall, provoking the energy reaction on the force field wall, and at the same time he sensed the trend of energy fluctuations, so as to find the details of the composition of the force field wall, and soon he found the source of the force field wall.
"Are these the Turing roots of this world?" Sylvia asked, looking at the mysterious patterns on the walls, towards Leo beside her.
"No, these contain not only Turing roots, but also runic magic. Leo corrected his statement, and carefully looked at the patterns full of mysterious powers, and compared them with the Turing roots he had mastered and the rune knowledge he had learned in Lake Town.
Although the patterns on the walls are very different from the transcendent knowledge that Leo has mastered, the inner principles are all related, and even Leo suspects that the extraordinary power of this world is the same source as the Turing root in the world of Veron and the rune magic in Lake Town.
"Is this wall so hard to solve?" Sylvia asked, seeing Leo standing in front of the wall for a long time, frowning.
"No! these walls are easy to solve, I'm just remembering the patterns and details of this pattern magic. Leo recovered from his musings, explained, and told Sylvia to wait a little longer, and then continued to write down what had not yet been written.
After checking twice and making sure nothing was missed, Leo motioned for Sylvia to step back a distance, and then used the power of nightmares to mimic the Witcher's Seal of Arden's Seal, placing a magic trap on the wall.
Immediately after, I saw that the walls crackled like wires were short-circuited, and some energy sparks appeared, and the surrounding force field walls also flickered brightly and darkly, and finally with the burst of a dazzling energy light from this patterned wall, all the force field walls disappeared.
Seeing the effect of the Demon Hunter's Seal in front of him, Leo couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, feeling that the person who created the Ardennes Seal back then probably not only planned to use the Ardennes Seal to create a trap, but also planned to use it to destroy the trap, I have to say that using the Ardennes Seal to destroy other supernatural power traps and arrangements has an unexpectedly good effect.
"It stinks!" Sylvia couldn't wait to walk towards the collection room after seeing the force field wall disappear, but as soon as she entered the collection room, she quickly retreated with her nose covered.
Leo walked over and smelled a pungent stench, so he used his psionic energy to wrap the stench in the room, pull them out and throw them on the torch.
The stench contained a flammable gas, causing the torches to burst into more than twice the light, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime, but soon the light diminished as the stench burned out, and returned to normal.
After cleaning up the stench, Leo carried the torch and entered the room, although there was still some stench lingering in the room, but it was much better than before.
"I don't have much hope for these boxes. Sylvia walked in after her, the smell coming from the inside of the box, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Leo stretched out his hand and opened the boxes one by one, only to see that there were some herbs in the boxes, but these herbs had already been completely corrupted into dust, and the smell of corruption was blocked by the force field wall in this room and could not be dispersed, so there was the scene just now.
"Maybe there's something to be gained from the other rooms?" Leo comforted Sylvia, and then asked Sylvia to search the bedroom room where the possessions were most likely to be kept, and he walked to the alchemy lab.
Givie Elle had taught Leo the Witcher's alchemy at the beginning, and also talked about alchemy equipment, Leo made a set of equipment when he was in Port Set, and designed some functions specifically for his own needs, so when he saw these alchemy equipment in front of him, he was not unfamiliar.
Although there are a lot more equipment than the equipment used in the witcher's alchemy, and there are a few more pieces of equipment of unknown function than the equipment he used in Port Set and the equipment in his storage space, the basic principle of use of these equipment is the same, and Leo can easily identify the function of these equipment, and deduce the process of using the equipment when making various medicines.
In this room, except for the alchemy equipment that is still in good condition, which is slightly valuable, only a few bottles of potions of unknown function on the table may be worth some money, of course, the premise is to know the efficacy of these potions.
Leo did not take the liberty of pulling the cork to see what the effect of the potion in the bottle was, in addition to guarding against the danger of the potion itself, but more often to avoid the evaporation of the agent and the weakening of the effect after the cork was uncorked.
Leo put away the flasks and prepared them to see if there was a pharmacist in Bockland, so that the pharmacist could discern the effects of the flasks.
After packing up the potion, Leo double-checked the room for nothing else before turning to the study next to it.
As Leo had guessed, almost all of the books in the room were completely damaged, and on the surface they appeared to be intact, but when they were picked up, all the pages were reduced to shreds and dust, except for the cover.
Only, a few books supported by nitrate animal skins have survived, but they were written in a font he didn't recognize, and this font looked exactly like the pattern that contained special powers.
"It seems necessary to learn the elven language of this world. Leo put away the books in his hand, turned and left the study.
At this time, Sylvia also walked out of the opposite bedroom, and judging by the smile on her face, she should have something to gain there.
