Chapter 203: The Duke's Manuscript
Just when Ye Ling was interested in the Hongyuan Terracotta Army, in the darkness deep in the corridor, there was a sudden sound of "knock, knock" metal impact.
Garcia used her shield to light the way.
Two terracotta warriors with heavy shields walking side by side, holding heavy shields in one hand and sharp spears in the other, walked calmly towards the two.
Ye Ling looked at the moving mercenary with a look of sudden realization.
He finally knew why he felt strange.
These terracotta warriors are not works of art used for collection, but the machine warriors used by the royal family to guard the palace!
Later, with the popularization of the technique among the common people, the machine warriors also began to appear in the homes of wealthy merchants and nobles.
It seems that this duke has not only been to the Hongyuan Continent, judging from the fact that he will arrange the Organ War Warriors, this duke definitely has a great connection with the Hongyuan Empire!
"Let's turn them off. Ye Ling whispered softly and ran towards the Organ Warriors.
The warriors stabbed with spears, Ye Ling dodged lightly, and then crossed behind them, and pointed their fingers at their Xunfeng Acupoint, Tianling Acupoint, and Shangmen Acupoint.
After these three acupuncture points were pointed, a palm-sized square box was exposed behind the warriors.
In this box, the mechanism that drives the warriors only needs to be twisted half a turn in the direction of the counterclockwise, and the warriors will immediately stop moving.
After staying in the general's mansion for a long time, Ye Ling read a lot of books on mechanical arts, the reason why this kind of war warrior has long been eliminated in the current era is because there are three "dead holes" on the body of the war warriors, which is a problem that the war warriors cannot solve in terms of structural design.
As long as these three positions are pointed, the war warriors will become scrap copper and rotten iron, which looks stupid.
After turning off one of the war warriors, Ye Ling went to close the other.
At this moment, a strong energy bombarded him, and Ye Ling was startled and hurriedly retreated.
With a bang, the remaining warriors were burned into a black ball of shrunken metal by the fiery energy emitted by Garcia's shield.
"Hmm...... That's fine. Ye Ling shrugged helplessly.
Ahead was the Duke's private study, where there was very little blood and filth, and it seemed that few demons had come to this place.
Just as they were about to catch their breath, several demons from behind them were chasing them up, flying wildly down the corridor.
Ye Ling didn't bother to deal with them personally, so he easily twisted the mechanism of the heavy shield warriors, and pushed them forward, and the warriors became the temporary guardians of the two.
Kicking the door of the study open, Ye Ling was instantly shocked by the decoration of the study.
I saw that in this room, there was a luxurious fragrant wood desk, behind which was a stocky mahogany Taishi chair, and on the bookshelf facing the bookcase, there were many thread-bound books with worn title pages.
Isn't this a typical Hong Yuan style?!
Ye Ling realized that something was not right, could this Duke be a Hongyuan person?
The two began to search the contents of the house.
"Ye Ling, look at this!"
Ye Ling was called to the bookcase by Garcia.
In the drawer of Garcia's bookcase, a stack of handwritten manuscripts was pulled.
This is a cursive Hongyuan script, which is difficult to read because the handwriting is connected to each other and the strokes are often omitted.
However, Ye Ling found that the manuscript was clearly marked with the date of the manuscript being written.
The order of these manuscripts was scrambled, and while Ye Ling was sorting them out, Garcia found a few pages of manuscripts hidden in the cracks elsewhere.
Organize them by date.
After tidying up, Ye Ling started reading from the first page.
Unexpectedly, the first line of this manuscript made the two of them gasp.
Their goddess is already dead. 】
"Don't get excited, I'll take a look. Ye Ling comforted this Garcia and continued reading.
[That goddess of theirs has died a long time ago, and I, as a Hongyuan person and a martial arts cultivator, have no habit of worshiping gods in the first place, and I went to their worship ceremony entirely out of curiosity. Their rituals were strange and made me very interested in the goddess, and now that my preliminary research is over, I can say with certainty that their goddess is indeed long dead. 】
Next Manuscript.
[July 13: It's strange why the Holy See warned me not to study their gods?]
[August 1st: Their warnings have made me feel very rebellious, I spent a lot of money to find some ancient Magus Continent god texts, but they are difficult to translate, my language skills are obviously insufficient, I need to find a reliable assistant. 】
[August 8: In the assistant's translation, I found that there was no 'Goddess of Dawn' in the ancient Magus continent, but there was a god born between the shadow and the light, I think they seem to be the same person, keep this speculation for the time being, and I will continue to study in secret.] 】
[August 20: The people of the Holy See went crazy and actually sent someone to assassinate me in the dark alley! Don't think that I can't see the number of exercises of those killers, I am a martial artist in the realm of the king of people! But after all, I am old, I am still injured, and I will not be able to go to the black market to pick up the goods in person in the future, this task can only be handed over to my assistant in the future, and in addition, I have built a new secret research room under the castle. 】
[September 10: The Holy See's persecution of this god is simply outrageous!I will do my best to help her, first of all, I must find a way to another plane, and besides, the assassin's dagger is poisonous, and my cultivation is plummeting, I am worried. 】
I don't know if he was originally a member of the Holy See, or was later bribed by them, but the alien is really not credible, and now my formation has been destroyed, and the time and space of this castle have changed. 】
[September 30th: All destroyed]
The last piece of manuscript is like a child's graffiti, not dated, but just written "October." ”
Throughout, there are only two words: [Black and white black and white black and white black and white!]
Among other documents, Ye Ling found the name of the duke, his name was Li Lanxing, a merchant from the Hongyuan Empire, and also a warrior.
"Secret Laboratory......" Ye Ling muttered to himself, "Gotta find that place." ”
recalled that in the maid's letter before, Li Lanxing disappeared into his room, and the organ of this secret laboratory must also be in his study.
"Xiaoya, look at places like candlesticks and bookshelves, press where you can press it, and twist it where you can twist it. ”
"Good. ”
The two fumbled in the room for a while, and Ye Ling inadvertently bumped into the brass lamp on the bookcase.
However, it was this collision that did hit crookedly, touching a small button on the lamp.
Suddenly, the entire bookcase moved, and an arm's length moved forward, and a narrow dark passage appeared under his feet.
This passage can actually allow one person to go down, Ye Ling said: "Xiaoya, you stay on it, I'll go down and take a look first." ”
