After a few days, with all the supplies in place, and another two days for the team to familiarize themselves with the use of the equipment, and with everything ready, Cervantes and Ziegler led the team into the ruins of the Arcane Empire again.

During this time, they had expected that the Dragon Hunter Order or the Omniscient Eye would scare them out of nowhere, but when they re-entered the ruins, neither organization jumped out to make trouble.

This made the two-headed dragon very disappointed, these two organizations are usually secretive, even if they want to take revenge on those two organizations, there is no chance, especially in the period after the gods seal was broken, those two organizations disappeared directly, although these two organizations are definitely still active, but there is no news on the surface.

Due to cost and technical constraints, the team members only used mass-produced equipment, but for the soldiers, the equipment was enough to excite them.

A revolver for short- to medium-distance defense, a universal dagger and sapper shovel engraved with 'armor-piercing' and 'solid' runes, and a wear-resistant wilderness survival expedition suit and backpack can hold more than enough things, but that's just the basics, and mages have it.

The main ones are the 'Shield Armour' that can release magic shields, the hook and safety rope to climb dangerous terrain, and a small number of directional blasting grenades.

Finally, there is the 'Short Range Communication Headset', where the Soldier has two hosts in his team, using the same channel, as long as the signal is not interfered with, it can ensure that the lost Soldier can call for help to other team members, and each person is also equipped with at least three [Scorching Ray] spell scrolls and two bottles of highly effective healing potions, whether it is breaking walls or facing enemies, healing themselves or healing teammates.

Even the mages were amazed by the magnitude of the equipment, and they couldn't quite understand why the head maid had approved so much of the supplies.

In the old days, each piece of equipment required at least fifteen gold coins, and even now, the combined value of these pieces of equipment is not low.

Is this group of soldiers worth spending so much on supplies?

The mages were suspicious, but Cervantes and Ziegler didn't bother with their confusion, and once the members of the team were familiar with their equipment, they eagerly led them into the institute.

Passing through the familiar corridor, no one let their guard down, because the two-headed dragon noticed a detail.

"There's still no dust here...... Ziegler walked at the end of the line with the puppet girl, carefully observing the surroundings.

From the moment they entered here, they sensed that something was not quite right here, and there was not even a trace of dust on the road at the entrance!

Anyway, this is also the depths of the mine, and maybe the air here is not very circulating, but it is not so bad that no dust enters the passage, because the door has not been closed since it was opened.

And if nothing else, they must have brought some dust with them when they walked in the other day, but when they came here again today, they found that the dust was gone.

When they weren't looking, the place seemed to be cleaned, but it didn't catch their attention.

Automatic?or is it a Taling?

Either way, it's not good news for them.

"Search carefully to see if there's anything you didn't find in the first place!"

After passing through the long and boring corridor, Cervantes stood in the hall and gave the first order to the members of the team, while he himself stood in the center of the hall and watched.

Ziegler also walked around, but it wasn't long before he noticed a serious problem—the hall was so big that there was nothing but a 'counter' and a few elevators.

The area is not much smaller than the church of Radiance in Wyndcity, but there is nothing here, and at first glance it can make people feel 'empty'.

There were no tables and chairs, nothing and even a strange sense of 'oppression' because of the emptiness.

Moreover, the passage they had passed through before was too narrow to meet the requirements of 'freight', although it is conceivable that with the technology of the Arcane Empire, there should be a lot of things with 'space storage'......

So, is it now possible to be sure that this is not a research institute for 'biological' technology?

After thinking for a while, Ziegler shook his head, it was still a bit arbitrary to speculate now, everything had to wait until after entering the lower layer.

It didn't take long for the soldiers and mages to regroup, and their reports were the same - nothing was found!

Not only was there nothing behind the surrounding walls, but there was anything in the conspicuous counter, and the elevators were also 'automated', with the buttons on several elevators identical, except that only the mages could control them.

After hearing these reports, Cervantes didn't look at this cold hall with silver and white on all sides, "Enter the next floor!"

Several elevators are of average size, and after everyone in the exploration party stands up, it is only slightly crowded.

Soldiers and mages carried backpacks large and small, and the two-headed dragon, even in human form, was relatively large, and when the group of twenty-three people climbed one of the elevators, it was only slightly crowded.

The crystal panel used to control the elevator is inlaid on the right side, allowing you to access the next floor without any authentication.

It doesn't indicate how many floors the institute has, so unfortunately, Ziegler can't confirm his conjecture just yet.

Keng ......

Cervantes and Ziegler's ears moved slightly, and they immediately turned their heads to look.

They heard a faint voice, but it didn't seem to be heard by anyone but them.

The sound came from behind them, the other side of the elevator, which was naturally sealed in an unknown silvery-white metal...... Fully enclosed?

Cervantes raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his head to look at Ziegler, "Did you notice, there don't seem to be ventilation ducts here?" ”

Hearing this, Ziegler was immediately stunned, carefully recalled his experience along the way, and then noticed this.

He then sniffed and closed his eyes, "The air is fresh, but there is no smell of natural magic...... The air here is synthetic!"

After noticing this, the red dragon couldn't help but grin, "Good guy, 'synthetic air'!"

The black dragon also raised his eyes, "Yes, the synthesis air ......"

The conversation between the two dragons left the rest of the party confused, they knew what their lord and Mister Ziegler should know, but what could just a 'synthetic air' represent?

The door in front of him slid silently to both sides, and if Ziegler hadn't been aware that he had only done it once, he might have been a little puzzled about how many floors he had reached.

Cervantes picked up his pocket watch and glanced at it, fifteen seconds after the elevator began to operate.

The black dragon stepped out of the elevator, and behind him, Ziegler motioned for the team to hurry up, and he remained at the end of the group.

The space on the second floor was as wide as the hall above, and if they hadn't known that this was a research institute, they might have thought it was an underground city built by the Arcane Empire.

There was a house in front of them, and those houses looked exactly the same, maybe a place for the researchers?

But just after coming down the elevator, is there a dormitory in front of me?

After waiting for a while, Cervantes did not give any orders, and walked straight to the houses, and the team followed closely behind, and officially began this exploration. ()
