The rest area, which had lost the protection of magic light and other facilities, fell into an unspeakable silence. For a while, only the whimpering unique to the storm from the connected area not far from the passage was still echoing. Duan Qing and others The exit leading to the connecting area where it came from also showed the aftermath of the raging storm, and the ground that had been cleaned up by the strong wind spread out from there as the center. Their eyes moved from the wind that was still pouring out in that direction to the other side. The attention of Duan Qing and others also stayed on the back of the departing tall magical creature for a long time, until the huge When the heavy steps produced by their bodies began to drift away in the corridor and the echoing sounds became indistinguishable, the movements of these few people suddenly changed from extremely quiet to extremely active.
Judging from the process shown in the core area after entering the ruins, the idle time in front of them was probably the rare time they could leave Kyle II to act alone.
"Quick, quick, hurry up and act! How are you doing over there?"
"Nothing found, what about you?"
"There are no papers or written records left here at all! At most, there are traces of books placed there... Look, there should have been a bookshelf there, or it was a streamlined one - —Tsk, tsk, tsk, they have a pretty good style in the library."
"It's all turned into powder. What's the use of observing these trivial details? Hurry up and find me some more useful clues!"
The busy steps back and forth gradually turned into a burst of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, accompanied by the scene of countless remnants of tables and chairs scattered on the ground being turned upside down. Duan Qing and others who stayed in this dim room were also at this time Instead of resting like they were in the exhausted state at this time, they turned the place upside down like locusts passing by: "... Huh, it is indeed worthy of the underground ruins that have passed through for thousands of years. What's the use? No information is left."
"There must be some useful information left here, but the system - ahem, we didn't find the right place." After clearing his throat, a certain gray-robed magician who almost leaked the information stopped temporarily. He noticed that he was also rummaging through boxes and cabinets: "It doesn't matter. If this room is not available, just find the next one. If this area is not available, just find the next one. Anyway, sooner or later, you will find something useful."
"I think so too, but that guy named Kyle II doesn't think so." Pointing to the end of the corridor on the outside of this dilapidated room, Shi Ayunna was throwing a certain piece of debris. He also became lazy: "If it comes back soon, I'm afraid we will be treated as thieves and robbers."
"Thieves and robbers? How is it possible? We have not done such a shameful thing. At most, it is just a 'destruction of property'." He stood up expressionlessly, and the one belonging to Duan Qing was slightly pale. At this time, his face also became particularly conspicuous in the dim room: "Of course, if we really find something strange, we don't rule out the possibility that we will break the agreement and rules and hide it secretly without telling the magic weapon. Sex...what?"
"What is the problem?"
As if he noticed the sudden unusual movements of another player who was also rummaging around, the gray-robed magician quickly turned his attention there: "Did you find any useful clues?"
"No, I just suddenly thought of something."
The movements that were frozen in place seemed extremely unnatural in front of the two men who turned around. The gaze belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing was also glazed over the countless circuit board-like magic circuits piled up in front of him: " I was thinking...since this is an era of highly developed magic technology, so-called records should also become very advanced, right?"
"Although we found many book-like fragments in this rest area, they are most likely just designed to solve some of the spiritual needs of people who come here to rest." The white-haired woman raised her head. , the originally confused gaze also gradually became clear in the process of condensation: "A real record should not require the existence of paper or parchment scrolls, but should be a more advanced storage medium, right? ?”
"It makes sense." He stared at the other party and nodded. Duan Qing's brows gradually wrinkled as Xueling Huanbing said these words: "Our way of finding clues is indeed affected by our inherent thinking. Those similar words The paper with the image recorded may not be what we should be looking for at all, but should be some higher-level device."
"Like this?" With a vague expression on his face, the homeless man named Shi Ayun handed over the fragments he was throwing: "I don't understand what you are talking about like magic, but this The stuff looks very similar."
"What? Let's take a look!" They looked at each other, and Duan Qing, who was squatting next to Xue Ling Huan Bing, hurriedly stretched out his hand to snatch the piece of debris: "I thought you just picked up a piece of table leg there. Just playing around! It turned out--"
"It turned out to be just an ordinary piece of debris."
Looking at the withered expression of the gray-robed magician who gradually became silent, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who stretched out his head and poked his head, then smiled and looked away from the surface of the fragment in his hand: "It's a pity that I disappoint you. "
"Hey, let's start over with this idea." Shiveringly, he stuffed the piece of fragment back into the arms of Shi Ayun, who had a strange look on his face. Duan Qing, who was also trembling at the corner of his mouth, then moved towards the door of the room. Direction from the door: "You can continue searching here, I'll go to another room."
"next door?"
"I have neither a picky eater nor a reason to be picky." He turned around while holding on to the door frame. Duan Qing, who was standing at the door of the room, looked helplessly around the metal door frame: "It doesn't matter which one you choose. If you are trying your luck, you might as well just let nature take its course."
"By the way, it's not because I'm angry." He glared at Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was still laughing in the room, and quickly disappeared into the invisible darkness: "Put me before Drink the potion I gave you and then have a good rest.”
"No need to follow me here, I can handle it by myself."
In his ears, Shi Ayun pointed at his nose and asked with a puzzled expression. However, the gray-robed magician seemed to have no idea. He just took a little precaution against the threats that might appear in this room. , and then completely pushed away the scattered pieces of wood half-covered at the door of this room. After looking up and down at the chaotic wreckage that was also scattered in every corner of the room, the gray-robed magician covered his chest and slowly pressed against the wall. The aftereffects of the previous series of battles and movements caused by casting spells , it seemed that it was just beginning to explode in this man's body: "Huh, uh... Damn it, is this body still too forced?"
"If you don't want to be so ugly, you may need to stock up on more magic gems next time." With his back to the next door to the room he just came from, the gray-robed magician raised his gaze and revealed something more. Too helpless: "But this disc was returned to my hands only after arriving at the Continent of Wind. It is impossible to prepare in advance..."
Recalling the origin of the disc in his hand and the familiar figure of the little girl with golden braids flying everywhere, his voice that became increasingly low and low fell silent again, and he fell into silence for a long time. The sound of breathing gradually became calmer with the passage of time, and finally turned into a muffled groan as he climbed up with difficulty: "Well, problems always have to be solved one by one. This dilemma before us It seems that clues are starting to emerge.”
"I hope I can persist until the end."
Duan Qing took a deep breath, tightened his broken arm and left hand, and walked towards the depths of the room where he was. The staggering steps that had never appeared in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing and Shi Ayun also followed. The weak figure gradually moved and merged with the dim interior of the space: "Let me... ahem, let me see what good things are hidden in this room... hmm."
"It seems to be the entertainment room." His eyes swept over the countless large and small stone ball-like things scattered among the fragments of wooden boards on the ground: "What is this, a glass ball? But the sizes of these balls seem to be different. , nor any numeric type markers...etc."
"There seems to be a magic circuit in it." He bent down to pick up one of the small balls with extremely slow movements, and Duan Qing carefully inspected its surface: "It seems to be designed to accelerate rotation. There’s only one way back to the center—damn it.”
"Do all the relics here have such a circuit? Why didn't I find it before?" He threw the ball aside casually, and pressed his forehead hard: "Sure enough, it was due to excessive consumption of magic power that led to a sensitivity to magic. Reduced? That’s not good news.”
Shaking his head, the gray-robed magician forcibly cheered up and groped deeper into the messy room again. Various strange items also appeared little by little as he refocused his attention. Appeared in front of him: "What is this? A wooden pole? Ha, if you have billiards, you should have a billiard cue, right? Is your place really a recreation room?"
"I seem to have found an iron needle. Is it the iron needle used to shoot darts? Although there is no trace of magic blessing... Wait, why is there dried blood on it!"
"There was supposed to be a wooden table here, but I don't know where it is now... Hmm, I think I found chess pieces. Maybe this was originally a place for playing chess."
"Notches, dominoes, horizontal bars for stacking and metal discs that can be used as chips... Ha, I want to stud, is there anyone who hasn't followed?"
"Ah, I found it, I found it, a book made with magic. It seems that only magic can be used to activate the contents inside. Let me see... The love story of Zilit II and Queen Marahavan·Continued ? What the hell kind of weekly magazine is this? Do you dare to put something more exciting - uh no, something more healthy and uplifting is here!"
Dancing up and down a stone slab engraved with unknown words in his hand, Duan Qing almost dropped it to the ground. The blurry figure standing in the dim light then fell silent for the gray-robed magician. He paused in his movements for a long time, and after a while, he turned around with his renewed energy: "Well, at least with systematic translation, I can still understand the meaning of these words, but -"
"It seems to be driven by magic." Quietly putting down the slate that looked like the cover of a book, Duan Qing scratched his head in distress: "The same goes for those things just now, each of them is more or less the same. There are traces of magic involved in the ground...that is to say, only by injecting magic energy can these things really work, right?"
"Do we have to wait for Kyle II to repair the energy source?" He stood there hesitating for a while, his eyes swinging up and down due to the ups and downs of his thoughts: "I don't want to conduct an investigation in front of Kyle II. , God knows if there are any secrets here that cannot be learned, or there are violations of prohibitions, etc... huh?"
"What is this?" His swaying gaze stayed in the corner of the room, his eyes fixed on a spherical object that looked like it had fallen to the ground: "This should be a monitor. Right? It seems to be designed like this in reality, but the size may be much smaller... Hmm."
"There is a lack of energy source." Duan Qing squatted slowly in front of this corner and reached out to pick it up. He inspected the round surface like a lens. His fingers that kept turning back and forth seemed to have discovered something. He gradually climbed up along a straight line at the corner: "The energy circuit should have extended to the top along this line. This thing was also hung there at the beginning, and then for some reason, the power was cut off and it finally fell. Come down..."
"If the magic supply can be restored, this thing should be able to resume work." The gray-robed magician thought for a while, and then tried to reach forward again: "The question is whether this thing has its own storage function. If If the same magic technology is used as a storage method, both images and data will be affected by decay."
"Wait a minute, I found it." The fiddling movements paused again, and Duan Qing's fingers stopped directly behind the spherical device: "This should be the input port of energy. The incoming and outgoing lines are all from Here...well, what type of magic energy should I input? Fire type? Earth type? Or wind type? Or a mixture of them?"
Snapped.
The ear-piercing magic burst then appeared on the surface of this spherical magic device, frightening Duan Qing, who was trying to input various types of magic energy, and raised his head back. The radiance that gradually extended forward was followed by With the rising magic smoke, it gradually appeared from the circular glass hole in front of the spherical device.
"...A new batch of goods has arrived."
