The underground waterway is dark and eerie. Fortunately, this time Dust went through the water distribution pipeline, so there was no smell. This mysterious atmosphere far away from the ground made Amy a little excited. She had always been interested in various adventure stories. She couldn't protect herself before, but now that she has elf-level strength, she is even more yearning for adventure.
"Do you think there are people living here?"
Amy asked with interest.
But Dust and Anna looked at each other: "Impossible, who would live in a place with such harsh conditions?"
"Could it be that some fugitives built an underground kingdom here to take refuge, marry wives and have children here. Newborn babies grow up in it and have never seen the sun..."
Dust and Anna shook their heads, obviously not interested in this topic. Amy felt bored and closed her mouth.
It's hard to tell the way in the underground waterway. But the passage has been laid out during the day. The pirates clearly marked every corner. With the help of these marks, Amy and others sneaked into the Alchemy University from the underground waterway without much effort.
It was already late at night, but the lights of Alchemy University were still on, and noisy voices could be heard coming from the laboratory building. I think the alchemists are working on something important.
"Where should we go?" Anna asked Amy. Both she and Dust entered Alchemy University for the first time.
"Let's go and have a look in Paracelsus' room first."
Amy sneaks into the woods with Anna and Dust. The cabin was pitch black, completely hidden in the night. If Amy hadn't known there was a cabin here in advance, she would have hardly been able to discover it.
There were no human sounds in the room. Amy was unwilling to give in, opened the door and took a look. The things in the room were in a messy state, and it was obvious at a glance that it was Ella's fault. It seems that no one has been here since Ella left.
Amy was a little disappointed. Before leaving, she watered some pots of flowers in the room.
"If there isn't one in the room, we can only find an alchemist and ask. The person who knows the most about Paracelsus is the principal John de Lupisisa. It's best to ask him directly. I I remember his office is..."
Dust suddenly covered Amy's mouth and pulled her aside. I saw a man who looked like a teacher pushing a cart of boxes past where Amy was just now. He came to a wall. There are many sealed boxes piled up against the wall.
The teacher carefully picked up the boxes on the cart one by one and arranged them against the wall.
While he was doing this, two patrolling soldiers also passed by. They saw the teacher moving boxes and came over to help. Unexpectedly, the teacher drove them away rudely; "Go away! I've said it several times, you will destroy these things, don't come close." here!"
The two soldiers didn't mind and left directly. The teacher cursed, "It will only cause more trouble," and then turned around and walked back to the laboratory.
As soon as the teacher entered the door, Dast immediately dodged out and came to the pile of boxes.
"What's inside?" Anna asked in a low voice behind the wall.
Dast looked at a box from side to side, and then replied in a low voice: "These boxes are sealed very tightly, look for tools quickly!"
At this moment, new footsteps came from the distance. Dast made a quick decision, picked up a box and hid in a crack in the wall. The footsteps came from another group of patrolling soldiers. One of them raised a torch and looked into the corner where the boxes were stacked. So another soldier immediately cursed: "Don't use torches to get close to those things! Do you want your life?"
"I just seemed to hear something coming...maybe it was the teachers."
The soldier withdrew his torch and followed his companions away.
Two groups of patrolling soldiers passed through in a short period of time, which meant that this place was not suitable for staying for a long time. Amy and others took the box and hurried back to the cabin in the woods.
The box was made of metal, and the lid was carefully sealed so that not even air could escape. Daxter shook the box, and the sound of rushing water came from inside.
"liquid?"
A look of surprise flashed across the faces of the three of them. The people of the island republic treated these boxes so carefully, thinking that the contents must be some kind of flammable substance. Since it is a liquid, why can't fire get close to it?
"Anyway, you have to open it and take a look to find out."
Daxter took out a small knife and tried to insert it into the gap of the cover to pry it open. But the box is too tightly closed. Dust stabbed and smashed, and finally the joint sank a little. Taking advantage of the sunken gap, Dast finally succeeded in inserting the knife into the cover and pried it hard!
The air poured into the box following Dast's movements, and almost at the same time, a ball of fire suddenly burst out of the box!
Daxter was startled and threw the box away. The box made a circle in the air, but no liquid was poured out - only fire, fire, and fire poured out of the box!
In the blink of an eye, the box was surrounded by fire. The fire quickly ignited nearby weeds and spread along the weeds, all the way to the big tree.
Amy immediately used Loki's protection. She used magic to control the trajectory of the flames, trying to gather the spreading fire. However, every time she absorbed the fire, new fire would immediately burst out of the box. Amy had no choice but to control the flames around the box to prevent it from spreading outwards.
Daxter took a closer look at the box and saw that the content in the box was indeed just a liquid. However, it keeps spitting out fire! Daxter was stunned for a moment: "What's going on? What on earth is this?"
Amy lowered her voice and said, "Think about these things later. This fire was not caused by my magic. I can't extinguish it. Get some water quickly, otherwise the teachers and students of the school will come when they see the fire!"
Dast reacted and quickly ran to the well to fetch a bucket of water. Amy withdrew her magic so that Dust's water could successfully extinguish the fire, and Dust threw the entire bucket of water towards the flames without hesitation.
——An unexpected situation happened again.
The moment it touched the water, the box suddenly exploded violently. Not only was this burning fire not extinguished by the water, but it burned even more fiercely after it came into contact with the water!
The explosion alarmed everyone in the school, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of guards surrounded them. What appeared in front of them was a burning iron pot and several burning trees.
"It seems like someone has sneaked in here."
John de Rupisisa walked out of the crowd. The wrinkles on his face were much deeper than before.
"Be careful, don't pour water on that jar." John de Rupisisa stretched out his hand to stop the soldiers who were about to pour water to extinguish the fire. "This is ocean fire, bring some sand!"
