Chapter 48: The Treasure Room
The treasure room is located in the basement of the property management department, and is protected by a heavy iron door.
Different from the architectural style of the property management department, the iron door does not have any ornate decorations, nor is it beautifully carved, and there are even rust stains in some places.
Somlley pulled out a palm-length brass key, inserted it into the keyhole, and after a few turns, the iron door made a crisp "click" and then shook violently.
Da, da, da...... This was followed by the sound of a series of gears turning, coming from behind the door.
Then, the iron door slowly opened outward.
Somlley took a few steps back and motioned for the others to retreat to safety.
Lacey frowned, "This voice is so harsh, Somley, your property management department is so well-funded, can't you change to a better protective measure?" ”
"Better?" Somlley sneered, "This is an iron gate specially built by the former director, and the internal name is 'Prism'. ”
"Lacey, as the captain of the Investigation Department, you can't be without common sense."
"You say I don't have common sense?" Lacey's eyes narrowed.
"Ahem, no? I mean, the protective rune of this iron door is very powerful, it is a rune circle called a prism. Look over there,"
Somlley hurriedly pointed to the top of his head, "Those are the patterns of the magic circle, and all the nodes are inside this iron door. ”
Wayne looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, he saw some faint black lines on the ceiling, which were more complicated than the sacrifice rituals of the Desperate Sect that he had seen before.
Dense and organized, all the lines connected to the iron door.
As the iron door opened, there were two distinct nodes inside, which were inlaid with precious stones.
At the same time, there are some exposed mechanical gears rotating in the door panel of the iron door.
Wayne looked at those gears and rune nodes, the perfect combination of machinery and runes?
It seems that the transcendents of this world are very open-minded and thoughtful.
"What does this 'prism' circle do?"
Somlley said proudly: "The main effect of the 'prism' is two, one is that it can rebound attacks, and the other is that when encountering a major situation, it can protect the contents in a special space from the outside world. ”
Hearing this, Marco said thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard of this magic circle somewhere, it is said that in the last era, it was widely used in some secret laboratories. ”
"Marco, you still know the goods." Somley gave him an approving look, then at Lacey, "Got it, Captain Lacey?" ”
Lacey stretched out her hand and beckoned her two-handed axe, looking at him eagerly, "Is it powerful?" ”
"Say you don't have a permanent ...... You can go in, like I said, don't touch it. ”
Somlai hurriedly entered the treasure room, and knew that violence was used, so this secret division couldn't find some people with normal brains to come in?
Lacey pursed her lips and followed, followed by Wayne and Marco.
As several people entered, the enclosed treasure room seemed to come to life, and the gas lamps lit up one by one, reflecting the entire space in bright orange.
"Welcome, to the Treasure Room."
Sommere seemed to be a different person, bowing gracefully and beckoning, like a well-behaved butler.
But several people ignored him, and they were all attracted by the dazzling, fantastical and eerie light in front of them.
I saw that this room, which was only the size of a football field, was divided into several areas of equal size.
Complex and elaborate defensive circles are painted on the floor. Bizarre runes and geometric shapes weave together to form one protective shield after another.
The most conspicuous thing is the set of alchemical equipment placed in the middle.
The half-human-high alchemy furnace was placed on an oak pedestal, and the furnace body was inlaid with dense runes, round and round like an erected compass.
Next to the furnace are crucibles, workbenches, grinding instruments, measuring equipment, etc.
On the display shelf on the left, there are various books and parchment scrolls, very similar to the relics of the Epoch of the Eternal Life Society.
These relics that have experienced the change of epochs have poked out something strangely shaped from time to time in the rune circle, or a white bone claw, or a strange face.
There are bottles and jars around, and from the labels on the bottles, you can see that these are all kinds of rare potions, such as invisibility potions, berserk potions, dawn light potions, etc.
The area on the right is larger, where dozens of strangely shaped armor and weapons are displayed.
Among them was an arm-length staff, made entirely of white bone, and placed alone in a rune circle.
In addition to these epoch relics, equipment, and bizarre prop materials, the treasure room also contains a number of steam mechanical artifacts.
A mechanical cannon made of copper gears and mechanical parts, dozens of mechanical golems, and a number of musket-like mechanical weapons.
The entire treasure room is a perfect blend of rune circles and steam machinery, presenting an eerie beauty.
"How's it going, aren't you shocked?"
Somrea walked up to the crowd to block their view, "There are a lot of things, but according to the rules, you can only choose three ordinary or one precious item. ”
Wayne came back to his senses and humbly asked, "May I ask which ones are ordinary?" Which ones are precious? ”
"It's simple, it's a precious item to be stored separately."
Somlley was pleased with their expressions, or rather the expressions that no one had ever seen before.
"See the bone staff? It is a precious object, an ancient staff from the Third Age, the Touch of the Dead. ”
As he spoke, Somlley looked at him with a wicked smile, "But it's not something a rookie like you can control......"
Bang!
Lacey slammed a fist on his head, "Don't talk about it's useless, hurry up and help him find something he can use." ”
Somlley covered his head and glared at her, "Lacey, didn't anyone tell you to be more polite when asking for help?" ”
"Is there one?"
Lacey clenched her fists, "All I know is that everything that is unpleasant will be shattered, whether it is a human or a deviant." ”
This punch is really ...... See-through.
Marco laughed and helped him up, "Somley, in my experience, it's better to work honestly at this time, what do you say?" ”
"I can't say it, will you agree?"
Somlley shook off his hand angrily and looked at Wayne with a cold face, "Good luck boy, what's your transcendent profession?" ”
Wayne hesitated, but replied honestly, "Wizard." ”
"Wizard?"
The three of them all looked at him in surprise, and Lacey frowned slightly: "You said that you were the inheritor of the family that day...... Wizard family? ”
"Sort of, sort of."
Wayne touched his nose and followed this line of thought and said, "We in the Loft family had a wizard who returned from the Wraith School two generations ago. ”
Originally, he wanted to hide it for a while, at least after he learned how to make potions, and then make a lot of money.
It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes......
