If the layout of the rooms of the intermediate knights in Shandong on the sixth floor is like a hotel suite in Lant's hometown; the fifth and fourth floors are like school dormitories (the third floor is like the former military camp Tongbu in Lant's hometown; the salt workers' rooms on the second floor are completely Tongbu and The floor was paved and looked like a pigsty, and the air in the whole room was very turbid.
This smell brought back extremely bad memories for Lant. What he admired most now was that the ascetic Wright was willing to live on the second floor, sharing food and accommodation with many salt workers.
Lant looked at two rooms and then went down to the first floor of the cave. After listening to Gandalf's knowledge of the earth's veins, he wanted to know how the energy in the earth's veins was converted into heat energy in the salt boiling workshop.
"This is the mana furnace. This furnace has been here for a long time. It was not activated before Master Gandalf came. After he came, it took several months of repairs before it was activated again."
In a medium-sized room on the first floor of the cave, Rant saw the mana furnace that he was extremely curious about.
The room where this magic furnace is located is very special. There is a stone door in the room. The stone door can be opened automatically through magic. After entering the room, you can find that the walls, roof and ground in the entire room are very smooth.
Except for a cylindrical 6-meter-high stove with one end extending into the ground, the only thing left in the house is a magic pattern array that emits blue light. The array is centered on the furnace and extends from the ground to the surrounding walls. Even the roof is a formal magic circle.
"You got this furnace running again? That's amazing!"
"This stove is not a human creation. I could only restore a small part of its functions at that time. The stove is now in its current condition after people from the Salt and Iron Department came to repair it four years ago."
"Is this the furnace that connects the earth's veins to all the rooms in the cave?"
"I'm afraid it's more than that. In addition to the earth veins and rooms, this furnace should be connected to more facilities, but now the only ones that can be used are the workshops and the rooms in the cave."
"It's amazing," Lant said, but he was thinking in his heart, how did the human race be driven out of the Galloping Horse Plains by the orcs? Could it be that they came in a furry mecha?
There are not only workshops on the first and second floors, but also many natural caves that serve as warehouses for the entire salt mine. According to Lant's request, Albert and Makoto led people to check the valuables and minerals in several large caves according to Lanya's list. Useful goods.
According to Albert's preliminary search, there are dozens of natural cave warehouses in the cave. The inventory ranges from salt boiling cauldrons, various tools, fuel, rune boards, leather and bones of Warcraft, to almost inedible cured meat. Everything you need.
Wendy and Albert even found several hidden rooms during their joint search. These rooms were like magic furnace rooms. The stone doors were integrated with the cave walls and could only be opened using magic.
After entering these rooms, you can see that there are also glowing magic circles in the room. According to Albert, these magic circles should play a role in maintaining the stability of the space and delaying the loss of magic power.
There are numerous magic-sealing boxes in the room. These magic-sealing boxes are hundreds of years old and are basically rotten. After opening, two boxes contain magic crystals that have long been turned into powder, and four boxes contain magic crystals that have long been turned into powder. Brand-new enchanted armor and enchanted weapons that have no magic reaction. These armors and weapons should have been stored here by the human empire in case of emergencies on the plains.
These completely unused enchanted equipment are not only equipped with magic circles such as sharpness and solidity, but can also inspire fixed moves or spells through fighting spirit or magic power. It can be said that they are rarer and more valuable than magic pattern equipment.
However, these equipments no longer have magic response. According to Gandalf, they can only be re-smelted, decomposed into various metals and then reprocessed into armor. The good news is that the magic-guiding metal of these equipments has not been lost. Today, there are 100 sets of equipment. After careful recasting, 90 new sets of equipment were produced.
Lant felt very distressed when he saw that these one hundred sets of armors and weapons were now only worth one material price, because they had aged and could no longer be used as ordinary armors.
Albert was very happy. These armors can be smelted in the future. Even if they cannot be smelted, these are obviously brand-new armors from 300 years ago. Many nobles should want to buy them home as part of their family display.
Of course, it’s not that there are absolutely nothing that can be used, such as two boxes of gold coins and a total of 20,000 gold coins. This can be regarded as Rand’s biggest gain since he went north.
The advantages of the God-Emperor, who is more than 1,000 years old, are reflected at this moment. For a full 1,000 years, all currencies have been minted according to the first version of the currency minted after the God-Emperor ascended the throne, with only some differences in the patterns. Therefore, the entire human race The Empire recognizes the legitimacy of all versions of the coin, from the first coin minted in the 20th year of the God-Emperor to the 80th coin minted in recent years.
So now the two boxes of gold coins that Rand found can be used and spent directly.
"If these gold coins are discovered by the Gray Goose Tribe," Albert's eyes went straight as he looked at these gold coins.
"How about it?"
"If they go south directly with these gold coins, the earl will sell them 200 demon worshipers without hesitation."
"Why is our Earl of Maned Wolf short of money?" Lant asked.
“Money is more scarce than you think.”
Two boxes of gold coins went directly into Rand's account. No matter what, he planned to restore the Galloping Horse Kingdom, so there was no shame in restoring the heritage of his motherland first.
Outside the last hidden room, Rant stopped, not daring to go in rashly, because outside the door of the room, Rant saw a nameplate that said "lounge" in human language, but behind the word Below, Lant actually saw the words about his hometown.
[Emergency Communications Room] This is what Lant saw, a piece of text from his hometown that had been discontinued decades before he was born.
Lant grabbed Peter who was about to walk in, "Master Gandalf, I think there is no need to continue to maintain magic power in these houses. Can the magic furnace stop supplying magic power to a few rooms?"
"Oh?" Gandalf was a little curious as to why Lant asked to disconnect the magic furnace before entering the room. "Of course, I will operate it."
Gandalf found a small square hole that was also hidden next to the door, similar to an electrical box. From the outside, you could see that the hole was filled with magic circles. There was a crystal in the center of the magic circle. The shape of the crystal was very similar to Lant. Several crystals from magic teaching scrolls were found in the Bull Tribe.
Gandalf unscrewed the crystal, and the magic circle in the cave lost its light.
Since there is no energy source, the stone door of the room can only be pushed open by the intermediate knights. After entering the room, there is no lighting in the room. Only a guest room for rest can be seen, with wooden desks, mirrors, bookshelves, The bed, chairs, and the layout of the bed are very similar to Laniya's room.
Rant searched this room more carefully than others. In a corner of the room, Rant found a magic mirror. This was the sunglasses used for communication that Albert recognized.
This palm-sized one-handed mirror can monitor the situation in the entire room. The original magic crystal base in the mirror was removed and connected to the magic array in the room, which means that the original magic energy in the room can automatically The magic mirror is powered, and you can use another mirror to monitor the situation in the room at any time.
Lant didn't know whether the so-called emergency communication used this mirror, but if it was just a magic mirror, why build a separate room?
Soon, Lant's men found several letters within a year. These letters were just blank sheets of paper when they were opened. After Gandalf used visualization magic to process them, they could see some tasks sent from the front office of the Imperial Palace. Most of them were The recipient is required to pay attention to the movements in the salt mine and the Gray Goose Tribe at all times.
While Lant was reading the letter, Wendy actually found a hidden room in the room. When Wendy opened the room, Lant and everyone saw a stone room of less than 4 square meters. The magic circle in the stone room Still radiating light.
"Don't even go in, there's something wrong with this room." Lant vaguely felt that the so-called emergency communication room might refer to this small stone room.
"Ah?" Lant said it was too late, as Wendy had already stepped into the stone chamber.
In the stone room, you can see 8 square mirrors on a wall. There is a stone table under the mirror wall, and the stone table is covered with magic circles.
Afraid that Wendy would be in danger, Lant could only enter the stone room. However, the layout inside the stone room was the layout of the hall of mirrors in the castles of various great nobles. It was very similar to the control room in Lant's hometown. After Lant entered, in addition to the glowing magic circle , and I can’t tell what’s wrong.
On the stone table, Lant found a letter. It was hard to imagine that the letter could still be preserved so completely after hundreds of years.
Lant opened the letter and vaguely saw that it should be a letter written by one of Lant's ancestors 400 years ago. The recipient was a person named Zhuo Qin. However, Lant just took a brief look at the content of the letter. On the ground The magic circle glowed brightly, and the letter was suddenly ignited and turned into ashes lifelessly.
