The bright lights tunneled through the darkness and swept in from a distance, like several lightsabers scanning something in the darkness.
In that direction, the man holding a bull's-eye lantern was wearing imperial-style armor. The tassel-like relief pendants on the shoulder armor hung down like eagle feathers. There was a curly blade-like neck protector on the collar, but the whole body was pitch black, with a Wearing a visor with only his eyes exposed, and a bunch of pale feathers on his helmet.
In Fang Yu's impression, the empire did not have such an army. The border guards wore gray wolfskin capes, and the Praetorian Guards' helmets were decorated with a bunch of golden-red phoenix feathers. They were distinguished from other imperial legions by wearing golden armor. No legion in the empire was dressed like this.
Miss Nightingale lay in front, looking down at the imperial soldiers. We were all on the upper level of the mine tunnel, about the height of a cliff from the imperial soldiers below. The light beams that penetrated the cave could not illuminate the things above our heads, but Fang Pliance, Luo Wei and their group could see each other clearly. .
They saw the soldiers of the Empire walking through the stalactite-lined caves below, the lights in their hands gradually fading away. These Oshu people seemed to be familiar with this place. They were just on routine patrol and did not stop in the middle. They seemed to be familiar with it.
"Huh, it makes me a little nervous," Xiaoyao wiped his sweat and said, "It's really the Imperial Army, I've seen them in the capital," the chief craftsman of Silver Vislan chattered as usual, but still Lowering his voice, he turned around and asked the others: "What do you think will happen to the Empire if we are discovered?"
"Are you a good boy?" Shui Wuming replied angrily, "There are a few selectors who really abide by the rules, and we are fine. What else can the Empire do? We're deporting you. Besides, even if you do commit something, it will only be people from the Alliance who come to trouble you."
The former looked like he was suddenly enlightened.
But Fang Yu realized that they had not yet figured out the truth of the matter. The key question now is, why are the imperial troops here? He cast doubtful eyes on Sylvester, only to find that his ship officer was also looking at him, with a playful look in her eyes, "Sylweide," he said in a low voice.
But the ship officer interrupted him with a smile and whispered: "Captain, there is no need to say, let me guess." She said: "Captain, does he think that the Imperial Army should not appear in this place?"
"It shouldn't be," Xiaoyao heard the two whispering on the side, and he didn't mind being an eyesore to himself, so he interjected, "Didn't you say earlier that the Imperials had blocked the mining area down here, so why is it so strange that the Imperial Army appears here? of?"
Shui Wuming punched the guy and winked at him in the dark - didn't anyone see the young couple whispering?
But Fang Plover didn't care.
Because he really wanted to discuss this issue.
"The strange thing is indeed not the imperial army," Luo Hao said, "but this imperial army."
Only then did Fang Plover look at the other party. He was worthy of being a member of the group. Luo Wei and the others didn't realize what the problem was, but everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade had obviously experienced too much and were already much more perceptive than ordinary people.
But the person who spoke next surprised him.
Liu Liyue, who had been cowering behind and pretending to be cold, suddenly said: "The Imperial Army is divided into two systems: the Border Guard Corps and the Central Garrison Corps. I have never seen the legendary Imperial Border Guard Corps that is active, but the Garrison Corps is A bunch of stinky guys, it’s definitely not these people.”
"The Imperial Border Guard Corps is the main force of the Empire's foreign operations, and there are many legends about them." Luo Hao usually kept silent, but this fat man from the military knew these things like a treasure. "The most famous one is them. The silver-gray wolf skin shawl is draped on the shoulders. Of course, there are definitely not that many wolves in the empire. The Imperial Border Guard Corps maintains a size of more than 200,000 people all year round, and a batch is rotated every seven or eight years. Even though there are so many wolf photos This method of killing was also used by the Oshu people."
Seeing what he said was interesting, Shui Wuming couldn't help but smile and asked, "So, who are those wolf skin shawls?"
"Most of them are imitations. Imitation of artificial leather is simply not a problem for alchemy and magic. However, for non-commissioned officers of knights and above, most of them are genuine products, and they are not only decorative, but also have elemental magic attached to them. The structure of the Imperial Army is like this. They recruit soldiers from ordinary people. Most adults have to go through three to five years of military service in their lives, but only the backbone will stay in the army for a long time. They are the non-commissioned officers and knights in the Imperial Army. "
Luo Hao continued: "Non-commissioned knights are not real knights, but they have gradually become a part of the civilian promotion system over the years. The higher ups are the real imperial knights, who are promoted from ordinary people to the aristocratic class, but they are not They had no real power, and their income was very meager, and many people even went bankrupt trying to maintain the dignity of the nobility."
"Even so, this class is not hereditary, and titles often cannot be passed down. However, this is the last dignity that the empire relies on to maintain military deterrence, and it is also the reason why the Imperial Border Guard Corps has been able to maintain its combat effectiveness for a long time."
"So?" Xiaoyao asked.
"So the following people are neither affiliated with the Central Garrison Corps nor the Border Guard Corps." Liu Liyue summarized for him.
"But they are wearing the armor of the Imperial Army, and the styles of their shirts are exactly the same, except for the decorations on them that represent the legions they belong to." Fang Plover replied.
"Uh-huh," Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, "Why are you so skilled?"
"I just have a certain interest in the military system of China and Japan, and Aitaria is in this era." Luo Hao has all the bad habits that a netizen of this age should have, including building a government and being a nerd. "It's not just the imperial people. I have also done some research on the forest people and the people of the wilderness in Lotao. In addition to the mysterious forest elves, some of them must not have left the clan era."
This fat man obviously had some grudges against the residents of Giant Tree Hill, so he took the opportunity to take advantage of Miss Attila's absence and take advantage of them.
Fang Yu didn't explain his reasons clearly, because since he was wanted from time to time in Kaolin-Ithurian, he had a premonition that he would encounter the same trouble in the empire, so he did some research in advance. opponent. As expected, isn't this used in Ayin Block?
He was deeply pleased with his foresight. Of course, Miss Nightingale also said that she hopes their captain can have foresight elsewhere next time.
Liu Liyue said nothing, not bothering to explain to others why she knew so much about the Imperial Army.
"Can you recognize those patterns?" Luo Wei asked him.
Fang Yu shook his head. There were more than twenty border guard regiments of the imperial army, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands. There were hundreds of kinds of heraldic decorations. He couldn't remember them all.
Besides, even if he has finished memorizing it, the military system is a secret belonging to the Oshu people, and what is circulated outside is only public information. Even if there are some private heraldry that he does not understand at all, it is entirely possible to accidentally see it. It is extremely possible to have a black eye.
"Is there a possibility, I mean a possibility," Parker on the side finally spoke. The Papalar man finally recovered from the painful experience of breaking his butt in half - no, four pieces. He rubbed his butt and said, "These imperial soldiers exist in two systems." A third system outside of that?”
"It is possible," Luo Hao nodded, "What we know may not be comprehensive. After all, these things are military secrets. But the question now is, why do the Imperial people go to such great lengths to disclose this information? The system is hidden, what is the reason why they should do this?”
"Also," Alyssa added, "Why do these strange soldiers appear here?"
"Uh-huh," Parker asked, "is this important?"
Liuli glanced at him.
Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning in his eyes was obvious.
MDZZ.
"What's that look in your eyes?" Parker asked loudly.
"You know it yourself."
Everyone looked at Fang Plover, because he was the one giving orders here. Fang Yu thought for a moment and interrupted them: "In short, no matter what the situation of these imperial troops is and what organization they come from, it will not be wrong for us to follow them and take a look. We are here to find out what the origin of ancient alchemy is. Where."
Everyone nodded.
The rest of the Seven Seas Brigade all relied on Fang Plover's opinion. Even if the maid made some criticisms here, she would not offend her own lady. She was naturally cautious and opposed Fang Plover taking his own lady to any dangerous places. But Sylvide herself seems to enjoy it endlessly, and is keen to go on adventures with Fang Plover, which often troubles Siesta.
As for Parker, he always wants to go against their captain, claiming that one day he will raise the flag of rebellion against someone who is arbitrary and arbitrary, but even the box that is closely related to him is silent about this, so Mr. First Mate (he The self-proclaimed) usurpation of the captain's throne has been repeatedly frustrated. Fortunately, our Papalars are indomitable and are still persisting in maintaining the resistance on the ship.
He is currently the only one in this organization, plus Fang Nini, who was lured here by greedy food, and even took her mount, Xiaojiao. Of course, Mr. Lizard, who could breathe fire, would not speak and would only watch the two men's actions with a cold eye and reservations.
As for Luo Wei and Xiaoyao, they are just outsiders and lack understanding of the 'intricate' relationships on the ship. Their current identity is as a hired party in this small 'archaeological team'. Due to their lack of experience in such activities, they For the time being, we can only follow the professional opinions of Fang Pliong and his team. Of course, this major still has a quotation mark and a question mark in Fang Yu's heart, because our captain himself is participating in this kind of activity for the first time. Fortunately, at least he has a tough mouth.
Fang Plover has little experience in archaeological activities, but he has rich experience in adventures, and he knows how to deal with official forces - because of the relationship between the wanted party and the wanted party. After all, he has this experience with Sylvester No one can match it, and the current link is just right.
The Imperial Army had been gone for a while, and it was dark down there, but that didn't bother Fang Plover, so he took out a few pairs of goggles and distributed them to everyone.
"What is this?" Shui Wuming asked as he weighed the goggles. The heavy mechanical structure attached to them was heavy in her hand. She didn't want to put such a thing on her head in a dark and narrow environment unless necessary.
"A device that converges and enhances light," Xiaoyao said as he took over the goggles with familiarity. "The core is a light element crystal inside, and the bulky mechanical structure outside is just to strengthen it and the light path array."
"Speak humanly."
"A night vision device."
Shui Wuming rolled his eyes at him and stretched out the elastic band of the goggles and put them on his head.
She raised her head. The huge device covered half of her face, making her look a little top-heavy.
Others also followed suit and put on the devices, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud at their funny looks.
Because the Papalar man was smaller, he looked like an alien wearing that thing, so he received the most strange looks. He was so angry that he yelled angrily: "What are you looking at? This is a serious adventure. Be serious!" As a result, everyone was even more excited.
Mei frowned beautifully as she looked at that thing.
The little paladin lady can endure the most difficult environment in all aspects, but she still has a reserve that she can't let go of. In the end, she put it back without leaving a trace, and said to Fang Plover: "Mr. Captain, in fact, as a member of the Papalal family, Mei has the ability to see in the dark, so she shouldn't be able to use this thing in low-light environments."
"That's right!" The Papalar man pulled the thing off in surprise and discarded it like a pair of worn-out shoes. "I almost forgot that there was such a thing! Ha, who loves this thing that looks like a large toad? Who wears it?"
"You can forget this." Alyssa's voice was full of contempt.
"Well, ha," Parker said, feeling a little ridiculous himself, "I just didn't notice it for a moment, what's the fuss about."
Jita looked at the cumbersome device in her hand hesitantly, and finally sighed and put it on her head. But because she was too petite, she almost stumbled forward due to a heavy weight on her head. Fang Plover was so frightened that she quickly reached out to support her, "Be careful!" he warned.
Miss Scholar raised her head, holding on to the clumsy top-heavy device a little pitifully.
Fang Plover scratched his head in embarrassment, but this thing had such a structure on the drawing he bought from the Craftsmen Association. Okay, he admits that this style is a bit old, but he has tried his best to optimize it, but you get what you pay for. On this ancient structure, after countless optimizations by previous alchemists, almost every part is necessary.
As for the more advanced models, there are several more zeros after the price.
In front of the shiny price plate, Fang Plover didn't even dare to look at it, for fear that the alchemist from the craftsmen's association would ask him if he needed it, and it would be embarrassing if he couldn't afford it.
The Seven Seas Travel Group still has some money on its books, but every penny must be spent wisely. The operation of the Seven Seas Traveler requires a lot of money. It is simply an endless gold-eating beast. He does not want to one day own his ship. Anchored in a certain port.
What's more, even if you park in the port, you still have to pay sky-high berthing fees every day.
Fortunately, most others understood and didn't mention it much. Xiaoyao was very curious about this. He groped around on it with his hands, pressing several knobs and escapement gears and adjusting them constantly. Shui Wuming on the side couldn't help but remind him: "Take it easy, be careful not to mess with this thing." broken."
"Don't worry, I know it well," Xiaoyao was full of confidence, "Hey, you may not know that this thing is the masterpiece of a crystal craftsman. I have heard about it for a long time, but I have never had a chance to get it started. I am a crystal craftsman myself. No one here knows this stuff better than me...well, except Ed."
Shui Wuming frowned and looked at this guy, full of distrust of Silver Vislan's choice of the main craftsmen, "You'd better be the best," she said.
Everyone else put on this night vision device. Luo Hao walked to the cliff and took out a hook gun. He leaned out and looked around, then aimed at a stalactite pillar hanging down from the top of the rock. , with a bang, the hook was firmly nailed into it. The fat military man held the rope and tugged it. After confirming that it was firm and secure, he tied it to a rock nearby and circled it in a circle, then threw the rope roll down.
Rolls of rope hung down to the bottom of the cliff.
Then everyone descended the cliff along the rope one by one, and came to the rocky path below where the imperial soldiers had passed.
At this moment, it was already dark here, and there was no sound around. Only the occasional stone slid down from the cliff where they had stepped loose, making a series of tiny sounds, attracting people to look in that direction. The rock top is towering above, and the dark space is deep and majestic. In the empty environment around it, there are only some dim light sources from the fluorescent moss, and the stars are dotted like a sparse star.
But with the help of night vision devices and the dim vision of the Papalar people, they can clearly see that there is a steep cave there. Rock blocks are piled up randomly under the steep slope. It is not noticeable when looking down from above, but it is only noticeable when looking up from below. I found that the cliff was surprisingly high, especially in the environment of this underground cave. It supported a dark and deep space, as broad as an underground hall.
This is definitely not a mining area.
Sylvide took out the three-dimensional map and projected a beam of light from the crystal to project the upper and lower structures of the entire mining area. Finally, she concluded that they should be on the edge of the lower mining area of Nozpiz. It seems that their decision to repair the second lift was very wise and avoided most dangerous areas, even though that decision itself was not safe.
Fang Plover even raised his head and glanced in that direction. He still doesn't understand the reason why those earth elements don't chase them down. Large earth elements have a very high ecological niche in their ecology, almost second only to the lords and their elemental masters. What is there down there that makes them so afraid? , or even give up the pursuit of the 'intruders' in their territory?
The elements in the rage were extremely aggressive, and Fang Yu had never heard of such a thing happening before.
"The direction those imperial soldiers came from should be the mining area of Nozpitz," the ship officer pointed in that direction, but looked to the other side with some confusion, "As for that direction, it is an unknown area on the map, maybe It is the entrance to the lower area we are looking for, but it may also be the location of other secrets. But in any case, I am afraid we can only find out the details if we follow up."
"Then let's follow!" Xiaoyao said excitedly.
Fang Plover gave this guy a strange look. "Why are you so excited?"
Xiaoyao blushed, "Isn't this a bit curious?"
Fang Yu shook his head. He always felt that this guy regarded this trip as some kind of strange adventure. Although it was indeed an adventure, the real adventure was by no means as romantic and exciting as people imagined - on the contrary, it was exciting. It's exciting enough, but sometimes full of scares. Especially this time they have to deal with the Imperial Army. If they are not careful, their actions in the Empire will fall short.
But there was a reason why he came here and couldn't let it go. The Zero Crystal was too important to him, and it could even be said to be the foundation of his foothold in this world. He is not worried that the technology will spread, but what he is afraid of is that he will not be able to analyze the real future of the Zero Crystal before then. Hain has left him a technical route, but how far can this technical route go? ——
It remains to be verified by himself.
And this expedition deep into the center of the earth is actually to find more technical clues. In addition to the Type Zero Magic Furnace itself, which can enhance the strength of the Seven Seas Brigade, Fang Plover also hopes to find some of the basic ideas of the alchemists when developing Zero Crystals from it, so as to inspire his own inspiration. He has become more and more aware that the further back he goes, the road to Zero Crystal is not as smooth as he originally thought.
Since the successful development of gamma crystal, the subsequent development of delta crystal has been full of difficulties. He has overcome the difficulties more than once, but he still cannot touch the next technical threshold. After repeated verification from the technical documents left by Hain, he could not find the last few most accurate material ideas. The structure and magic circle were still full of fog. This was the reason why he urgently started Nozpiz and his party. location.
Therefore, even if the Imperial Army was ahead, he had no reason to look back.
Everyone walked through the dark environment, and even the most talked about Xiaoyao became quiet. The surrounding environment was deep and silent. Behind the stalagmites, there seemed to be a silent beast stalking, swallowing up all the sounds that everyone passed by, and looking at it with golden eyes. Watch them. When people accidentally turned around in surprise, their gazes disappeared from behind the stone forest and disappeared without a trace.
Everything seemed like an illusion rooted in darkness.
Most of the people in the Seven Seas Brigade have experienced underground adventure environments and are unaware of all kinds of illusions. However, Shui Wuming and Xiaoyao are obviously a little nervous. Even the usually calm senior Luo Wei looks a little restrained and looks around from time to time. . Fang Yu reminded her gently, "Those are your own footsteps, senior sister."
"Well, I know," Luo Wei nodded lightly, "but I just can't help but want to see it."
"It's human nature," Fang Plover replied, "I was the same way when I was underground in Fenris."
It was a long-standing story, a magnificent adventure that took place in the past.
Those who listened were fascinated. Most of the people present had either personally participated or had heard about what happened that day, even Luo Wei and Shui Wuming were no exception.
Fang Yu used a few words to eliminate a few people's doubts about the darkness, leaving only the endless curiosity about this underground cave. This place was obviously not man-made, but the miraculous workmanship of nature left traces here. After all, the Imperial people had never promised What was excavated under Zipiz's mining area, and why did the alchemy of ancient times leave traces here?
The road bifurcated in the darkness, and the underground caves became more spectacular ahead, vaguely revealing the atmosphere of an underground world that once existed here. This undoubtedly confirmed everyone's suspicions, but it also increased the possibility that they would lose clues about the imperial soldiers in front.
Fortunately, Miss Nightingale lived up to expectations and found the clues left by the imperial soldiers in a stalagmite forest.
"It seems that those people stayed here for a while after leaving the rocky path." Alyssa said to everyone while carrying a dagger sheath.
"Those things are missing." The Papalar people commented sharply on the Imperial Army.
"But you're pretty much the same."
Alyssa glanced at him and was about to tell the story about the silver sword that came from the sea of trees.
The Papalar quickly changed the subject and told her to stop.
But this small episode did not prevent everyone from regaining control of the movements of the person they were following. After finding the right direction, they moved more smoothly. They crossed the silent and dark stalagmite forest. Not long after, Miss Nightingale stopped in front. Come down and make a soft 'ugh' sound.
The next person to stop was Fang Plover. The road cuts off in front, and a cliff appears on the outer edge of the stalagmite forest. There was once an underground rock lake at the bottom of the valley, but the underground river has dried up, and the lake has dried up, exposing the rugged bottom of the lake.
In the center of the lake, what was once an island in the middle of the lake, now forms a hill rising from the ground. It is connected to the four sides by suspension bridges and cableways. It is brightly lit, and the Oshu people built a fortress on it.
The rays of light from the spotlights protruding from the fortress pierced the darkness underground, and swept over everyone's heads from time to time. However, the rays of light that went straight to the top of the rock revealed a person behind them. A deeper and vaster underground world.
Fang Yu gently took off the clumsy device on his head. He actually didn't need this, it was just to set an example. And here, the lights in the Oshur fortress are illuminating the underground world like daylight.
In the gray light, many imperial troops were setting off along the fortress, passing through the gray basin, and heading in all directions. There were also Imperial troops returning from various places, converging along the bottom of the lake towards the mountain peak. The vast underground space was nearly several kilometers wide. They even saw the group of Imperial troops they had encountered before.
Those imperial troops were all the same as they had seen before, wearing gray-black armor and battle robes, which were very different from anywhere else.
"This is..." Among the crowd, even Xiaoyao, who talked the most, stopped and stared at this scene in stunned silence. No matter how crazy he is, he can still see that something is wrong here. Is this an underground mining area? This is clearly an underground city and an underground fortress.
"What are the Oshu people doing here?" Shui Wuming was also dumbfounded, "They built a fortress here?"
"Look over there!" Jita suddenly pointed in a direction and said.
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, only to discover that there seemed to be amazingly large-scale projects behind the fortress - or rather, the fortress existed precisely for these projects. There were rows of tall buildings. The iron pillars, like the iron nails used by giants, were driven into the ground one by one.
There are thirty iron nails in total, each one is almost as high as the outer wall of the fortress. The Oshu people used a strange device to power those iron nails. From the appearance, it can be seen at a glance. Recognize that those magic furnaces have a deep connection with the tower type magic furnace.
Densely packed coils were wrapped around those iron nails, surrounded by crystal arrays for energy storage, widely distributed on the other side of the gray lake bottom. The scene reminded the group of molten salt power plants on the earth. Tall columns and densely packed reflective panels below.
"The Imperial people are extracting magic power from the underground?" Xiaoyao seemed to understand something, "No wonder, no wonder the earth elements from the underground will swarm out, but what do the Imperial people need so much magic power for? Don't they know that doing so is harmful to the floating world? Is it harmful to the stability of the mainland?”
"No." Luo Yu, who came out from behind, saw this scene and shook his head, "That's not a device for extracting magic power."
"He's right," Shui Wuming also saw it. She was not an all-round craftsman like Fang Pulver and Weiyu, but she finally had some understanding of ship equipment. "Those devices look more like …”
She looked at Fang Plover and Luo Wei with some uncertainty.
Among everyone, if anyone could recognize these devices, in her mind, it was only these two people.
Fang Yu was gently placing his hand on the stalactite aside and nodded. Although he was equally shocked at this moment, it did not prevent him from making the correct judgment. "From the shape point of view, those do look like a large-scale stalactite." The prototype of the Guy Generator, it’s really strange why the Empire would use such a backward method as the tower magic furnace to power it..."
"Guy generator?" Xiaoyao stared at those things with wide eyes, "Is it the Guy generator I imagined? It is the main source of lift for the aerospace ship. Why are they building this thing here? For the future Imperial warships for experiments? Or is the Nozpitz underground mine actually a secret experimental base for the Imperial Navy?"
"God, even the Guy generator is a bit too big. Those devices are even bigger than the largest floating battleship itself. Do the Oshu people have any secret plan? Or are they planning to upgrade this entire mining area? To heaven?"
"Who knows," the Papalar man shrugged and smacked his lips: "It's better to say that they actually carried out such a big project down here and concealed it from everyone. What about the depletion of groundwater and the sinking of the mine foundation? Everyone was playing around, and the selectors from the first division seemed like fools and didn't even notice."
Since there were no selectors from the first division present, there was no one to refute his harsh comments.
Others did not intend to defend their colleagues in North America, but the Imperial people made such a big noise under the mining area. Even if the Imperial Army blocked it, the Selectors were indeed a little too quiet.
The people of Gray Dagger once opened another passage, but the collapse of the mine tunnel and damage to one of the elevators now seems to be a bit too weird a coincidence. The Chosen Ones have always been pervasive, and the prohibition of the aborigines is a big problem for them. It's like an invitation.
Unless there are local Chosen forces involved and keeping all these secrets for the Empire. No, the local selector power may not be enough. Fang Pliance almost immediately thought that several major guilds in the first division, or even the alliance, might also be involved.
As in Kaulin-Ithurion.
But what is hidden underneath?
What secrets do those huge devices hold?
Miss Nightingale was quietly staring in that direction. When everyone was whispering, she pointed out the direction for everyone, "But the Imperial people have marked the direction for us to move forward. Look there."
Fang Yu finally came out of his thoughts and looked in the direction Alyssa pointed. Behind the rows of towering devices, the deep rock top was like a giant bowl upside down in the lake bottom basin. Above, the hard rock is covered with purple quartz-like crystals, densely distributed between the gaps in the rock, arranged like stars in the sky.
The closer you get to the devices, the denser the clusters of purple crystals become, eventually growing into clusters of huge crystal forests, but they are hanging down, growing from the rocks, and the crystalline surfaces reflect the lights of the underground world.
Between those crystals, the rock cracked a deep gap, like a giant door, leading to the endless underground dark world. And the imperial fortress was actually guarding the exit of this giant underground door.
Fang Yu looked up at the giant door carved by nature's miraculous craftsmanship, and couldn't help but take a breath. He had imagined that there was a natural entrance to the underground world under this mining area, but he did not expect it to be such a scale.
No wonder the Oshu people shut down the entire mining area when they discovered it. I am afraid that such a rift leading to the underground world is rare in the entire Aitaria. It is difficult to imagine what the workers felt when they discovered this place. of shock.
Those people might think that this is the door to hell.
"The passage leading to the underground world!" Xiaoyao carefully identified it for a long time before he shouted out in a low voice. He waved his fist excitedly, "Our guess was indeed correct. The Imperial people actually hid such a big secret down here. Then the ruins of ancient alchemy must be found down there!"
"Ancient alchemical relics?"
"Think about it," Xiaoyao analyzed lucidly, "those technologies of the middle and modern times must have been discovered in the abyss below, which means that there must have been a line of alchemists living down there. Since they have lived there, they definitely don't They will live in the wilderness. Even if those alchemists are ascetic monks, they must need an alchemy laboratory or something, right?"
"So aren't those the relics of ancient alchemy?"
"What you said makes sense," Shui Wuming said in a perfunctory tone, "But why did alchemists who lived in the middle and modern times leave behind ancient alchemical relics?"
"Well……"
"Well..."
However, the two people's casual talk about Bupleurum aroused Fang Plover's thoughts. Did the alchemists who mastered the sixth technical route once live in the underground world here? But what happened in the above-ground world that made them live in seclusion here?
Why did Hein's successors leave their technical routes here?
Just like the Zero Crystal, why is it located under the underground temple in Vanna Forest?
He searched in his mind for the mystery behind it.
But Luo Wei on the side asked at this moment: "How do we enter that place?"
She pointed in that direction. The majestic fortress of the Oshur people was stuck in front of the entrance to the underworld. Obviously, the empire is keeping its own secrets here and has no intention of letting outsiders easily enter. The imperial soldiers in gray and black uniforms patrolling around are the first problem they have to face.
…
My state was never very good before, and the things I wrote always felt like they were not what I wanted. It took me a long time to adjust to get the feeling back.
