65. The Magic Furnace, the Treasury and the Mystery Room

If the room layout of the sixth-story intermediate knights in Shandong is like a hotel suite in Rand's hometown; The fifth and fourth floors are like school dormitories (the third floor is like the former barracks in Rand's hometown; The salt worker's room on the second floor is completely covered and floored, and it looks like a pigsty, and the air in the whole room is also very turbid.

The smell evoked very bad memories for Rand, and what he admired most now was that the ascetic Wright had been living on the second floor, eating and living with many salt workers.

Rand casually looked at the two rooms and went down to the first floor of the cave, and after listening to Gandalf talk about the leylines, he wondered how the energy in the leylines was converted into heat energy in the salt boiling workshop.

"This is the Magic Furnace, this furnace has been here for a long time, it was not activated until Master Gandalf came, and it took several months of repairs after his arrival to be used again."

In a medium-sized room on the first floor of the cave, Rand saw the magic furnace he was extremely curious about.

The room where this magic furnace is located is very special, the room has a stone door, the stone door can be opened automatically through magic, and after entering the room, you can find that the walls, roof and floor of the whole room are very smooth.

Except for a cylindrical 6-meter-tall furnace that protrudes into the ground at one end, all that remains is a magic pattern circle that emits blue light, and the circle is centered on the furnace, extending from the ground to the surrounding walls, and even the roof is a format circle.

"Did you get this furnace running again? It's amazing! ”

"This furnace is not a human creation, and I was only able to restore a small part of its function at that time, and this furnace is still the result of the repair of this furnace by the people of the Salt and Iron Division four years ago."

"Is this stove connecting the leylines to the entire cavern?"

"I'm afraid that's not all, this stove should be connected to more facilities besides the leylines and rooms, but now the only thing that can be used is the workshop and the room in the cave."

"It's amazing," Rand said, but he was thinking in his heart, how the hell did the Terrans get driven out of the Galloping Horse Plains by the orcs? Could it be that they came here in a hairy mecha?

The first and second floors were not only workshops, but also a number of natural caves that served as warehouses for the entire salt mine, and at Rand's request, Albert and Makoto led the people to check the valuable and useful goods in several large caves according to Lannia's list.

According to Albert's preliminary search, there were dozens of natural caverns in the cave, with stocks ranging from boiling salt cauldrons, various tools, fuel, rune plates, leather and bones of demonic beasts, to cured meats that were no longer edible.

Wendy and Albert even found several hidden rooms that resembled the Magic Furnace Room, with stone doors that merged with the stone walls of the cave and could only be opened by magic.

After entering these rooms, you can see that there are also glowing magic circles in the room, according to Albert, these magic circles should be used to maintain the stability of the space and delay the loss of mana.

There are many magic sealing boxes in the room, these magic sealing boxes are hundreds of years of inventory, basically rotten almost, after opening two boxes are magic crystals that have long been turned into powder, and four boxes are brand-new enchanted armor and enchanted weapons that have no magic reaction, these armors and weapons should have been stored here by the Human Empire in case of unforeseen needs on the plains.

These completely unused enchanted equipment not only have a magic array such as sharpness and solidity, but can also stimulate fixed moves or spells through fighting energy or magic power, which can be said to be rarer and more valuable than magic pattern equipment.

However, these equipment no longer have a magic reaction, according to Gandalf, can only be re-smelted, decomposed into various metals and reprocessed into armor, the good news is that the magic metal of these equipment has not been lost, and today's 100 sets of equipment have been carefully reforged, how can 90 new sets of equipment be produced.

Rand looked at the hundred sets of armor and weapons that were now only worth one material, because of the age, they couldn't even be used as ordinary armor, and they were very distressed.

Albert was very happy, these armors can be smelted in the future, even if they can't, these are obviously brand new armor from 300 years ago, and there should be many nobles who want to buy them home as part of the family display.

Of course, it's not that there are no things that can be used, such as two boxes of gold coins, a full 2w gold coins, which is the biggest gain of the rand since going north.

The merits of the Divine Emperor and his old man of more than 1,000 years are now manifested, and all the currencies for the entire 1,000 years have been minted in accordance with the style of the first version of the currency minted after the Emperor ascended the throne, with only some differences in the pattern, so the entire human empire recognizes the legitimacy of all versions of the currency minted in the 20th year of the Emperor to the 80th version of the currency minted in recent years.

As a result, the two chests of gold coins that Rand found now can be used and spent directly.

"If these gold coins are found by the Grey Goose Tribe," Albert's eyes straightened as he looked at them

"How?"

"If they go south with these gold coins, the Earl will not hesitate to sell them 200 demon charmers."

"How come our Maned Count is short of money?" Rand asked.

"More money than you think."

The two boxes of gold coins went directly into the Lante account, no matter what, he planned to restore the Galloping Horse Kingdom, and there was no shame in writing the inheritance of his homeland.

Outside the last hidden room, Rand stopped, not daring to rush in, because outside the door of the room, Rand saw a nameplate, which read "Lounge" in human language, but underneath the word, Rand actually saw the text of his hometown.

This is what Rand saw, a text from his hometown, but which had been discontinued decades before he was born.

Rand grabbed Pete, who was about to walk inside, "Master Gandalf, I don't think there is any need for these houses to continue to maintain their mana, can you stop the magic furnace from supplying mana to several rooms?" ”

"Oh?" Gandalf wondered why Rand had asked to disconnect the furnace before entering the room, "Of course, I'll do it." ”

Gandalf found a small square hole next to the door that was also hidden, resembling an electrical box, and from the outside, it could be seen that the hole was full of magic circles, and there was a crystal in the center of the circle, which looked very similar to the crystals in several magic teaching scrolls that Rand found in the bull tribe.

Gandalf unscrewed the crystal off, and the circle in the cave lost its light.

Since there was no energy source, the stone door of the room could only be pushed open by the intermediate knights, and after entering the room, there was no lighting in the room, and only a room for resting could be seen, with wooden desks, mirrors, bookshelves, beds, and chairs, and the bed was arranged very similarly to Lanya's room.

Rand was more careful about the search pen in the room, and in one corner of the room, Rand found a magic mirror, which Albert recognized as sunglasses used for communication.

This palm-sized one-handed mirror can monitor the situation in the entire room, and the magic crystal base in the original mirror has been removed and connected to the magic array in the room, that is, the original magic energy in the room can automatically power the magic mirror, and the situation in the room can be monitored at any time with another mirror.

Rand didn't know if the mirror was used for so-called emergency communications, but if it was a magic mirror, why build a separate room?

Soon, Rand's men found several letters from a year old, which opened as blank paper, and after Gandalf used the imaging magic, they were able to see a number of tasks sent from the Imperial Palace, most of which required the recipient to keep an eye on the movements of the salt mines and the Grey Goose tribe.

Just when Rand read the letter, Wendy actually found a hidden room in the room, and when Wendy opened the room, Rand and everyone saw a stone room of less than 4 square meters, and the magic circle in the stone room still exuded light.

"Don't even go in, there's something wrong with this room," Rand vaguely felt, and the so-called emergency communication room might be referring to this small stone room.

"Huh?" Rand was still late, and Wendy had already stepped into the stone chamber.

In the stone room, you can see a wall with 8 square mirrors, and under the mirror wall there is a stone table, and the stone table is covered with magic circles.

Afraid that Wendy would be in danger, Rand could only enter the stone room, but the layout of the stone room was the layout of the mirror hall in the castles of various nobles, which was very similar to the monitoring room in Rand's hometown.

On the stone table, Rand found a letter, and it is hard to imagine that hundreds of years later, the letter could still be so intact.

Rand opened the letter, and vaguely saw that it should be a letter written by one of Rand's ancestors 400 years ago, and the recipient was a person named Zhuo Qin, but Rand had just taken a cursory look at the contents of the letter, and the magic circle on the ground was shining, and the letter was suddenly ignited, and it turned into ashes lifelessly.
