Section 2588 Transfer Station
"This window is also included in the magic array. If it is not necessary, it is better not to touch the magic array here." Angel: "I suggest looking for an exit in this building first."
"Of course, it is just a personal suggestion. If you have other ideas, you can bring them up."
Angel is very self-aware. The main reason why he became the leader is that he knows the location of the wall. In terms of experience in exploring ruins, he may not even be better than Kael. Therefore, he will not act arbitrarily, and will listen to the suggestions of his teammates...especially the suggestions of a teammate who is very inspired but does not know it.
Angel looked around. Kael and Wai did not dare to speak, and the Black Earl did not speak for some reason.
Only Dox nodded and said, "Although I think that if we break this window, even if the magic array backfires, it shouldn't be a big deal. But let's follow your suggestion. Since this building is the base of those demon cultists, there may be more information here."
After Dox finished speaking, he glanced at the stone slab floating in the air in the distance: "Let me say in advance, if you get it here, please give it to me, and use that Uyisu language. Some people should stop deliberately concealing important information."
Everyone knew who Dox was referring to, and although they thought what Dox said was right, Dox's words still made them jump in their hearts.
The tone was too yin and yang... So, this is a direct confrontation with the Black Earl?
Wai looked at the Black Earl carefully, fearing that his master would overreact, but to his surprise, the Black Earl was not angry.
The Black Earl just said lightly: "The agreement between me and Angel is already made. It's my freedom to say anything."
It was not surprising for Dox that the Black Earl would refuse, but the Black Earl's calm reaction made him slightly suspicious. But Dox didn't bring it up, instead he looked at Angell pretending to be helpless: "I just think you didn't need to make an agreement with him just now, look, he's getting proud now."
Angel smiled but said nothing, if they didn't make three rules, the Black Earl would come in person, and their exploration would be almost over. Because, Angell knew very well that this exploration of the ruins would definitely not be able to bypass the ancestor of the Noah family-Augustine.
After all, even the alchemical omen that appeared when refining the "key" of the wall was judged by Augustine himself, which was enough to explain everything.
"Since everyone is not opposed to exploring this building first, let's start." Angell looked at the corridor in front: "There is a corridor on this floor, so there must be a room. Let's go to the room on this floor first to see if there are any clues about this place."
Although the corridor is divided into two ends, they did not go separately, not because they were worried that they would be in danger and would not be able to provide support in time, but because Dox was afraid that the Black Earl would find some information but not tell them.
Of course, even if the Black Earl found the information with them, it was his freedom to tell them whether he was willing or not. But at least they knew about it, instead of being completely unaware of what the Black Earl had obtained.
Dox's thoughts were too obvious, everyone could guess it, and the Black Earl could naturally see it, but he still didn't say anything. He chose a direction with everyone and started walking.
After three minutes of exploration, they basically understood the structure of this floor.
The whole is a "HUI" character, and the corridors are completely connected. There is a room on each of the four sides of this "HUI", but nothing was found in three of the rooms. It's not that they are completely empty, but that nothing useful can be found.
As for the last room, it's called a room, but it's actually a hall, which is larger than the other three rooms. At the same time, they also found an upward staircase here.
"There seem to be some spots here, which is a bit strange." The speaker was Kael, who was squatting near a stone wall in the hall at this time.
The stone wall is made of star-colored stone, but unfortunately the stone wall is still blank, and the painting on it has long disappeared. However, at the bottom right of the stone wall, there is a little black and gray spot.
"The murals of the star-colored stone disappeared, but there are still scars here, which means that they were added by later people. Moreover, the time should be about a thousand years." Angel took a look and saw the door: "Although the star-colored stone is easy to retain color, not all pigments can retain color on it. At least there must be a trace of extraordinary energy. And this scar does not look like someone deliberately mixed pigments with extraordinary power to paint it."
"So, the only possibility." Dox found the gap where Angel paused, and hurriedly joined in to show his presence: "It can only be that someone fought here or was injured. Judging from the shape of the scar, it does not seem to stay here deliberately, so the former is more likely?"
"Fight? Why?" Wai looked at Dox in confusion.
Dox rolled his eyes at Wai: "You have really been a dog these years. Where is the passionate boy back then?"
Wai turned his head away, looking like "If you don't say it, forget it."
After a pause, Wai looked at Angel again, with a slight gleam in his eyes, and at the same time with a faint expectation.
Angel understood Wai's look. Didn't he want him to explain? He just didn't understand why his look was a little strange.
Angel didn't think much about it and said, "Because this stain is most likely blood. Whether it is the blood of a wizard or the blood of a monster, it contains extraordinary energy that can color the star stone."
"The only situations that can cause blood to appear on the star stone are the ones that Dox mentioned."
"As for the blood finally appearing in black and gray, according to the texture of this star-colored stone and excluding the two situations of human care, it can be basically determined that it was a thousand years ago. Perhaps it was around 1,300 to 1,500 years ago."
Angel gave another approximate time range.
This explanation was quite complete, and Wai naturally understood it, and his eyes brightened when he looked at Angel.
"You actually worship this kid, how many times have you seen him?" The voice of the Black Earl suddenly came to Wai's mind.
Wai was stunned for a moment, scratched his hair, and said: "It's not to the point of worship, but I think the super-dimensional wizard is very powerful. Especially just now, so many magic pattern faults were repaired at the same time, which is unprecedented."
The Black Earl snorted coldly, but did not continue to speak, because Angel's previous technology of repairing magic pattern faults was not only surprising to Wai, but even he was a little bit unbelievable.
Originally, it was thought that the R&D Institute pulled Angel in just because he was lucky and almost came into contact with the mysterious class. Now it seems that Angel is fully qualified to become a member of the R&D Institute.
Although he only had a glimpse of Angel's skills just now, the Black Earl had a hunch that Angel's alchemy skills were not very impressive, but the time had not come yet. It should not be long before he would make a big splash and truly secure his position as a member of the R&D Institute.
So, when Wai mentioned this and had some respect for it, even the Black Earl could not say anything.
"Also, the super-dimensional wizards seem to be very peaceful to get along with. They are the white wizards of the academy." Wai likes the white wizards of the academy very much... or rather, there are few wizards who don't like the white wizards of the academy.
Even if they mock these people as weaklings, they still trust the white wizards of the academy more in their hearts.
Just look at the "Holy Light Walker" Gandalf, whether it is a wandering wizard, a family wizard, a black wizard or other human-like extraordinary life, they are all very friendly to Gandalf. This alchemy master is a white wizard from the academy. He is very easy to talk to. As long as you give a reasonable reason, he will help you make potions, and he will only charge for the materials. Think about it, an alchemy master only charges for the materials to make potions for you. This is simply a great opportunity.
So, there is a reason why Gandalf is called "walking opportunity".
"White wizard from the academy? Humph, do you think that guy Sanders can teach a white wizard from the academy? Can he tolerate his disciple being a white wizard from the academy?" The Black Earl snorted coldly.
"Put your mind in his shoes. If I were the Lord Phantom, I would definitely not want my disciple to be a white wizard. But if this white wizard has talent and skills, I don't think it's necessary to stick to the principle." Wai: "Just like adults, if a super-dimensional wizard becomes your student, will you refuse?"
The Black Earl's throat suddenly choked. When did Wai become so eloquent...
And he really couldn't refute it.
If there was really a chance to take Angel into his family, how could he refuse.
However, in order to show his majesty, the Black Earl still said with a hard mouth: "There is no if in this world. All assumptions will be caught off guard by sudden variables."
"Whether Angel is an academic white wizard, you can observe for yourself next. I don't think he is a white wizard, and even whether he is an academic should be questioned."
After the Black Earl finished speaking, he ignored Wai. But Wai was not affected by the Black Earl at all. With the previous few things as a foundation, it is currently difficult to remove the filter of the little fanboy.
...
In this hall, except for the bloodstain of the star-colored stone, there is no other discovery. There are some furniture made of extraordinary materials, but...the previous people did not take them when they swept, which shows that these things are not worth much money.
Since there are no clues in the hall, their only choice now is to continue going upstairs.
As they climbed the stairs, Kael touched his chin and said, "It's a bit strange. We should have come out of the basement, this is the first floor, so we're going up to the second floor... Where's the door?"
Generally, the door to leave is on the first floor, but they just walked through the entire corridor and didn't see the door to leave at all. There were two windows, but these two windows happened to be at the two ends of the "Hui" character. There were alleys outside, and there was nothing else to find.
"Does it matter whether there is a door or not?" Dox said lazily: "Besides, this is an underground maze. Who said that the door must be built like the ground, and must be on the first floor? Maybe the door here is upside down and on the top floor."
"Is that so?" Kael was a little skeptical.
"Don't worry about it. If there is really no door, I'll make one." Dox said, grinning and rubbing his fist, looking like he was going to smash the wall if he didn't agree with him.
No one answered. Others didn't want to answer, and Kael didn't dare to answer, for fear that the fist shining with red light would fall on him.
Silently, continue to go upstairs.
The second floor - let's call it the second floor. The layout here is very similar to the first floor. It is also a "U" corridor, but it is smaller than the first floor and has no windows.
The second floor also has three small rooms and a hall. After searching, they finally got the first clue to enter the building: on the door of each of the three small rooms, there was a nameplate.
There were familiar words on it.
The common language of the mainland, but it was the common language that had not been simplified in the earlier period.
Everyone knew this.
The nameplate clearly states the functions of the small room: cleaning room, review room, and transfer station.
Although understanding is understanding, they still haven't surmised its specific function. There were no cleaning utensils in the cleaning room; the review room was also weird, with nothing in it.
As for the transfer station, it is the strangest place.
Because here they saw a familiar material - the human-faced eagle demon blood stone.
It's just that the human-faced eagle demon blood stone here is just a base, and on top of the base is a broken altar. This altar is in pieces, and you can see some magic patterns carved on it.
Unfortunately, there were so many pieces that even Angel couldn't restore them. I could only barely recognize a few magic patterns, which seemed to be related to the teleportation in the space magic patterns.
But if this is a teleportation array, why build an altar? Moreover, the altar is not big, so it would be a bit difficult to teleport people.
Angel stated his analysis and asked at the same time: "What do you think?"
In order to show his presence, Doakes immediately answered without even thinking: "Let's not talk about other rooms for now. I have a guess that this room must have been re-arranged. The transfer station was the original function, but it was later removed by the mirror. The devil’s followers took over and arranged this altar.”
"Is there a reason?" Angel looked at Doakes.
If Doakes had no idea at all, how could there be a reason, but he didn't want to say that he was talking nonsense, his eyes were rolling.
After a while, Doakes pointed to a certain wall: "Look, there is a slight difference in color on this wall, which seems to be a kind of mark. The size should be similar to the cabinet in the basement."
"That is to say, there may have been a cabinet similar to that in the basement. If you think about the material of that cabinet, and then look at the material of the altar, it is obviously not the same style. Therefore, when I say secondary decoration, there is possible."
The more Doakes spoke, the smoother he became, and everyone seemed to think it made sense.
When Doakes breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, everyone basically believed that Doakes was justified.
Only Angel, sensing Doakes's emotional changes, vaguely guessed the truth in his heart.
But Angel didn't point it out, because if Doakes added later, it was really possible.
"Since this place may be a secondary arrangement, and it was arranged by followers of the Mirror Demon God, then this may be an altar for sacrifice. As for the object of sacrifice, it may be the so-called Mirror Demon God."
After Angel finished speaking, he thought for a while and then said: "I remember a friend I met in the abyss once told me that the altars of ordinary demon gods must be engraved with the corresponding demon god's symbol, which is the true name and number. Only the great demon god , and the altar of the peerless great devil, so it doesn’t need to be marked with its true name.”
This was what Canaan, the lovely clerk, said in daily chat when he opened a store in Rasudran.
However, this is not exactly exclusive news.
Human beings have been dealing with demons and demon gods for so long, and these things can still be found out, but you may not be able to understand them before you reach a certain level.
Just like everyone present, the Black Earl also knew this information.
As for Doakes, he was qualified to know, but as a wandering wizard, he did not have the most cutting-edge intelligence source.
"I don't know if the Mirror Demon God is an ordinary Demon God. If so, maybe we can find some clues about Him on this altar."
