Main Text Volume Chapter 309 Iron-Armored Granny
The blue lake water covered his ankles. Angel could see ripples on the surface of the lake, but there was no feeling of moisture under his feet. Instead, he felt as if he had stepped into the void.
Looking across the lake, he could see the dazzling water plants at the bottom of the lake, but he couldn't see his own feet. The lake is like a mirror, separating two worlds.
His whole body was soaked, and when Angel opened his eyes, he had already arrived at the foot of a magnificent peak.
Behind him is a door leading to nothingness, and in front of him is a mountain climbing road.
Angel stood at the foot of the mountain, took out the recording card, and input a little magic power into the round hole in the center of the card. The next moment, a straight red light flashed from the round hole, shooting straight into the sky.
Baisi told him at that time that as long as he input magic power, there would be a red light rising into the sky, and this red light was the signal to summon the Ironclad Castle.
As for what the Iron Armored Fortress is and where his alien laboratory is, Baisdu remained silent, only leaving a sentence: "We will know when the time comes."
Pretending to be mysterious. Angel remembered how he answered Baisi at that time. Now that he saw the red light, he also had the same idea.
Red light pierced the sky. Angel stood in front of the door of nothingness. After waiting for less than 10 seconds, he heard the sound of "clang, clang, clang, clang--" coming from the side of the rolling mountain range.
The clanking sound got closer and closer, accompanied by the whistle of the train.
"Could it be a train? But the sound sounds like it's going too fast." Angel muttered in his heart, looking around, but saw no trace of railroad tracks.
Just when Angel frowned, a line of gray-blue smoke suddenly appeared from the lush mountainside.
Then, an iron house with legs jumped out from the mountainside. Every time the iron sheet house moves, the patched iron sheets outside the house will make a "clang, clang, clang, clang" sound.
The iron house rushed toward Angel from the mountainside on its slender iron legs.
At this time Angel also noticed that the whistle of the train came from the chimney of the tin house.
The iron house only ran a few steps, then flew down like a kite, and finally landed firmly in front of Angel.
Angel was still in a daze, when the iron frame legs bent down, the door of the iron house was pushed open, and an old lady wearing a blue and white dress, with a stooped body and a head full of silver hair, came out.
Although Mrs. Yin's steps were slow, her figure was very nimble. She jumped down from the iron house in a few seconds and landed in front of Angel.
"Who are you?" Angel used honorifics.
Old Mrs. Yin said with a kind face: "You must be Angel, come here, let my mother-in-law take a good look at you."
Old Mrs. Yin looked up and down carefully. Angel was a little embarrassed when he was looked at, and he didn't know whether he should move.
"As expected, he is a good boy. He is handsome and has a gentle personality. It's a pity to leave it to Sanders. You are actually more suitable to follow Wallace." The old lady Yin motioned for Angel to follow her: "The boy Bai Si is already here. You told me hello, you can use the record card to flow the source for the next five years.”
When Mrs. Yin climbed up the iron house, she turned around and realized that Angel had not climbed onto the iron fort.
"Come up?" Old Mrs. Yin urged.
Angel stood under the iron roof and said with confusion: "Old lady, what should I call you?"
The silver boss said "Ouch" and patted the balled up silver: "Look at me, why did you forget to introduce yourself? I am the caregiver of the Iron Armored Fortress and the watchman of the entire flow source." She He patted the shell of the iron house and said, "This is the Iron Armored Fortress. If you want to go to your own laboratory in the future, you can call me and the Iron Armored Fortress will take you there."
"As for me, just call me Granny Iron Armor. I have forgotten my name a long time ago."
After the armored mother-in-law finished speaking, she signaled Angel again to board the armored fort. This time, Angel did not refuse, but entered the tin house as usual.
"This is your first time here. I will send you over slowly and tell you the rules of the source of flow." The armored granny motioned for Angel to sit down.
The iron house has three floors. The first floor where Angel is located is filled with various things, including mechanical parts and flowers and bread. The items are very miscellaneous but not messy. There is a square wooden table in the middle, covered with a blue and white plaid tablecloth, and two cups of hot tea are still smoking.
"Come, drink tea." Granny Iron Armor pushed the tea in front of Angel.
Smelling the scented tea with the scent of roses, Angel hesitated for a moment and waved his hand: "Thank you, mother-in-law, I'm not thirsty now."
The armored mother-in-law did not try to persuade her. She took a slow sip of tea and took a long breath: "Source of Flow, there are a total of 138 alien laboratories, but currently only 36 places have been released to the outside world. You are now 36 One of the places.”
"Where are the 102 alien laboratories?" Angel asked doubtfully.
The armored old woman smiled and asked instead, "Do you know how many official wizards there are in our Savage Cave?"
Angel recalled it. He remembered that when he first entered the Savage Cave, Abbrey once said in the resource hall: "118 people?"
The iron-clad old woman shook her head: "When you first entered the Savage Cave, there were 118 people. But in nearly a year, 11 of the official wizards of the Savage Cave died, 3 defected, and 3 left voluntarily. One more person has been promoted. So, there are currently 1o2 official wizards in Savage Cave.”
After the Iron-Armored Granny finished speaking, Angel immediately realized that the 102 alien laboratories belonged to these 102 official wizards. But compared to these, Angel was more concerned about the seemingly trivial but potentially bloody data.
In one year, 11 official wizards died, but only one was promoted. Angel suddenly felt a chill in his spine. In terms of the number of wizards, this was completely a negative growth.
No wonder, the huge wizard world is unknown to mortals.
Because there are really too few wizards. And, according to this ratio, there may be fewer and fewer.
Angel put away these unnecessary thoughts and whispered: "Are those 102 laboratories the quotas for official wizards?"
Iron Armor Granny shook her head: "Of course not quotas, these 102 laboratories are gifts directly given to official wizards by the organization."
"Every time a wizard dies, you wizard apprentices will have one more quota. The quota is for you." After saying this, Iron Armor Granny took out a map and pointed out the laboratories where the 102 official wizards were located one by one: "Although there are less than a handful of people in these 102 laboratories, you must never step into these areas. Many wizards will set traps outside the laboratory, which is not something you can afford now."
Angel nodded in response.
"You can use your laboratory at will, but if there is an explosion or destruction, you must pay an equivalent compensation." Iron Armor Granny sipped the mellow rose tea and explained the rules of the source of flow one by one.
"...Except for the above, there are basically no other rules to be observed in the Flow Source. Oh, one more thing, if you want to bring friends in, they must follow you at all times, otherwise there will be no record card in the mountains and forests, and no one will come to rescue you if you encounter 'danger'." The Iron Armor Granny said this, smiling and pointing at Angel's chest.
In the lining of Angel's wizard robe, Toby was lying on his back in the chest pocket and sleeping.
Angel laughed and said, "I know."
"Okay, we're here. In the future, whether you leave or come in, you can call the Iron Armor Castle to pick you up." The Iron Armor Granny walked slowly to the second floor: "I won't see you off. There is no one living within a hundred miles around here. No one will see you if you want to tinker with any strange signs, don't worry."
After the Iron Armor Granny said this "considerately", she disappeared at the corner of the stairs.
Angel touched the back of his head and showed an embarrassed expression. It seems that the black cloud omen he created in Apprentice Town has spread, and even people like Iron Armor Granny have heard of it.
However, Iron Armor Granny's reminder reassured Angel. The space prop he was about to refine could be promoted to the intermediate level if nothing unexpected happened. If the omen appeared again, it would be troublesome.
——Although the alchemy omen is indeed not a master, it is rare after all. It can only be seen two or three times a year in the Savage Cave. If Angel's alchemy speed, coupled with the high completion of enchantment alchemy, will appear soon, and the omen will be different every time, then it may turn from a small matter into a big matter.
Angel was extremely grateful to Bais at this time. He could do alchemy in the source of flow with confidence.
Not to mention that there is no one within a hundred miles, even if there is someone, they will not break into other people's laboratories at will. This is the basic principle of the source of flow.
…
The laboratory marked with the number 13 is about ten meters high. It is a complex three-story castle-like building, but like the Ironclad Castle, it is made of iron sheets.
In addition to its magnificent appearance, the design inside is also full of ingenuity.
The upper three floors are daily residences. Angel strolled around and found that the basic furniture and decorations were all available. The basement was designed as a laboratory, covering an extremely wide area, and it was divided into dozens of blocks, belonging to different professional designs. Even the tools used by tailors can be found here.
Angel found the alchemy area, which was ten times the size of Angel's laboratory. The tools were also more advanced than those used by Angel. Angel just looked at the carving pen that could add carvings and couldn't let it go.
After casting a dust removal spell and checking the magic settings in the house, and confirming that there were no strange things and traps, Angel woke Toby up.
Toby took out all the materials stored in the Snow Feather, and Angel moved the materials one by one to the material area. The materials area here also has several different greenhouses and botanical gardens, including equipment that can gather external sunlight and culture chambers that can be used for observation. Considering the uniqueness of various materials, Angel feels that he has made a profit just for this reason.
