Chapter 232: The Magic Laboratory

However, whether it's metal ingots to craft weapons or travel to the Pit City, it's unlikely that these will happen anytime soon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Dwarven Capital is also a player city that opened after the open beta, but it is at the northernmost point of all player cities, which is much longer than the distance between Amen ~ Kanso, and even if there is a regular airship to sit on, it is estimated that it will take a week of gameplay time to arrive.

And you have to take into account the time it takes to build and the return journey, at least in the epic quest you will face next, Anichi will not be able to get the help of these five metal ingots.

The Repudiation Circle Scroll will only be effective against undead creatures, not against demons at all, the frost thorn grade is too low, and a mage's hand-to-hand combat feels like death.

Therefore, don't look at the fact that they have found so many things in the alchemy laboratory, but in fact, the improvement of strength can only be reflected in the long run, and the current strength is still like that, without the slightest improvement.

"Open that door too"

After scavenging those few pieces of precious metal, there was nothing worth taking in this alchemy laboratory, and Ann pointed to excitedly ordered Graeme to open another door.

In addition to the grand and excellent story, the most exciting thing about RPGs has to be the fun of opening treasure chests, and this excitement generated by curiosity is something that countless RPG lovers will never tire of.

Of course, even the kind of kryptonite unboxing game is forgotten, and even An Yizhi, a rich N generation, can't afford to play......

- Long!

Graeme carried out his master's orders perfectly, pressing his thick arm against the stone door, but this time it was not as easy as the previous two times, and he failed to open the door with two consecutive exertions.

"Is it a door that opens outward?"

Elph said.

"It shouldn't be, those two doors are open inward, it doesn't make sense that this door is facing outward"

Asking Graeme to stop first, Ann pointed to the door and studied it carefully.

Through a little gap, you can see that the door axis of this door is on the inside, and it is obviously a door that opens inward, is there something behind the door that is blocking it?

It's a pity that Graeme can't speak, he can only make a 'rumbling' sound, otherwise you can ask him how it feels.

"Hela, is there any magic on this?"

"No, I don't see any traces of spells"

That's strange, there is no magic to stop it, and this door is open inside, why can't it be opened?

"John, would you use a spell that increases your strength?"

"Not much, I'll only be a little"

This kind of state-added spell is either a change or an enchantment, and it just so happens that these two are what John is good at, and she really can.

"Use it on Graeme, and then we hide behind it"

It was not clear what was behind the door, so it was safest to arrange it, and even if there would be an attack after opening the door, it would be blocked by Graeme.

- This thing is really going to call Graeme.

"Giant Magic!"

Graeme, who was already tall, doubled in height under the spell, from more than three meters to four meters tall and suddenly became a big guy of about eight meters, and one of its hands was bigger than the door.

The increase in size also meant a great improvement in strength, and this time it didn't take much effort, and it only took a few fingers to open the stone door completely.

If it is said to be broken, it can be considered open......

However, the moment the door opened, a gust of wind swept out, as if they had opened a wind tunnel, and the violent air flow gushed out like a high-speed train.

It's not just the airflow, the appearance of Graeme who was directly hit by the airflow is a little strange, its size is constantly getting smaller, and the earth and stone that make up the body are also constantly disintegrating in the airflow, until the airflow completely subsides, Graeme does not even have a complete piece of gravel left.

[Warning: Your Minion Graeme is dead and cannot be summoned again for 1 hour]

What's such a dick?

"Hela...... Hela? ”

Just as he was about to ask Hela, Ann pointed to find that the Hela that was originally on his shoulder was missing, which frightened him, but fortunately, Hela then emerged from the dimensional pocket:

"Master, I'm here"

"What are you doing in the dimensional mouth?"

Hela first looked around with her little head and found that there was no problem, so she flew back to Ann's shoulder:

"That gust of air just now has a very powerful magical energy, which seems to have the effect of dissolving magic, which is too deadly for alchemical life"

Essentially, alchemical beings are creatures that rely on the alchemy core in their bodies to act, and disarming the magic is like stopping a person's heart.

"Dismantle? Why didn't you see the magic aura just now? ”

When a spell is activated, it emits a magical aura, whether it is cast by the person or a trap, and it is very obvious unless it is blocked by a masking aura spell.

Vaolek lived in an era where there was no means to conceal the aura, and after opening the door, An Yiyi did not see any magical aura.

"It's not magic, it feels ......"

Hela thought for a moment, and Elf interjected beside her:

"More like residual spell energy"

"Yes, more like a remnant"

"You know?"

Facing Ann's puzzled gaze, Elph said:

"I roughly know what is in this, if I don't guess wrong, this room should be the magic practice room of Vaolek, a place where various spells are often experimented, which is why there is such a huge amount of magic power spewed out as soon as the door is opened, it is estimated that they are all traces left by Vaolek when he experimented with spells, after the precipitation of time and a relatively sealed environment, the residual magic power gradually converges to form a natural phenomenon."

Ann pointed to Hela for confirmation, and the latter nodded to indicate that Elf was right, but she was unwilling to be robbed of the limelight by Elf, and said with some meaning:

"I think, Elph, it's time for you to clean up your room."

The latter made a big red face, apparently being told by Hela.

"Why do you say tidy up your room?"

"Because only a closed and unventilated room with a lot of spells can form such a magical turbulence, and Elph has experience with this, so ......"

So in addition to the lost attribute, does she have the disadvantage of not liking to tidy up the room?

"Let's go! Let's see what's different about the magic lab in Vaolek"

Elph said embarrassedly, Ann also knew that it was enough, and did not ask too much about this issue, but John was a little confused, why do you talk like playing dumb riddles?

Because the magic turbulence that just burst out has the effect of dissolving magic, so don't worry about any magic traps left in it, and even if there is, it will be eliminated by disarming the magic a long time ago.

Elph and Hela looked at it with keen vision, but couldn't find anything like a mechanical trap, so the three of them reattached their defensive spells and entered the magic lab.

The magic lab is something absolutely necessary for NPC mages, especially powerful mages who have too many ideas and new things to experiment with.

Magic is something that is developed and explored by people, and the spells studied by some powerful mages are used by future generations, and these people may be in the reason that they don't want future generations to forget, so many spells have the name of the mage who developed this spell.

For example, Yomo Ma's strong acid arrow, such as Anyi's commonly used Gaedley electric shock circuit, and the recently acquired Bigby Talisman Ball, all of which are prefixed with the developer's name.

The development of these spells was far from smooth, and even a mage of Jeskode's level had a very difficult time developing a completely new spell, and he needed countless trials to achieve the desired effect.

And the place to do experiments can't be casual, given that there is no intellectual property protection in this world, not to mention that there are many people or gods in the outside world who have the ability to peep, and want to make the new spell developed become their own nirvana or backhand, which must be kept secret, so the magic laboratory came into being.

This thing is mainly composed of three parts, first, it must have the ability to isolate prying eyes, second, it must have the ability to expand the space for mages to experiment with a wide range of spells, and third, it must have an extremely durable target, otherwise it will break in two casual hits, how can it be experimented well?

The first two were no longer there due to the disarming effect, and when Ann pointed them in, what they saw was the room as it was.

The area is the same as the previous alchemy lab, but compared to the full alchemy lab, it is very empty, there is nothing superfluous, and the only thing that can be called an item is a stone in the middle of the room.

This stone is black all over, with a crystal-like translucency and some jade-like flesh.

"It's a dark crystal, and mages generally use it as a target"

Hela said, adding:

"Don't try to take it away, this thing is only half a person tall, but it actually weighs several tons."

An Yizhi could only let go of the hand that tried to put it in the dimensional pocket, and it was almost his habit to want to stuff everything into the dimensional pocket when he saw it.

"Like, there's nothing worth taking here"

John said, looking around.

Indeed, apart from this black crystal that can't be held at all, there is not even a piece of paper in the room that has turned to ashes, and there is nothing to explore at all, is this just a prop set to enhance the sense of substitution?

Rao is good at digging three feet into the ground to scavenge for equipment and items, and An Yizhi has to admit that he can't find anything here, even the floor is made of heavy whole rocks, and there is no possibility of digging at all.

"It's a little weird"

"It's a bit weird indeed"

At this point, Elf said, and Hela agreed.

"What's weird?"

"The magic turbulence just now was weird"

Hela jumped up and down saying that she was worried that Elph would steal the limelight from the commentary again, and that was the reason for her existence because she was not good at fighting......

"It takes time for the magic turbulence to form, but usually the magic turbulence does not exist for too long, if this underground palace was really established by Vaolek 1300 years ago, and the magic turbulence has long since subsided for so long, it is impossible to retain such a strong effect, I estimate that this magic laboratory has been used for spell experiments with the effect of dissolving magic fifty years ago at most."

Only 50 years ago? Could it be that someone else here has come in?

"John, how long ago did the Three Towers Alliance use this island as a testing ground?"

"Huh? I want to think about it...... It seems to have started from my grandfather's generation, about thirty or forty years ago? ”

The timing seems to be roughly right, but if it was the people of the Three Towers Alliance who were experimenting with spells in the magic laboratory, then why didn't they leave footprints and why didn't they take the contents of the other alchemy laboratory with them?

It doesn't seem to make sense......
