Chapter 979: Exploring the Five
"Do you feel it?"
On the way to the next complex, Cervantes suddenly asked out of his head.
The rest of the group were silent, knowing that the lord was not asking them, but Mr. Ziegler, who was at the end of the line.
"Leaving aside the possibility of 'the Arcanist's aesthetic is different,' then it looks like 'unfinished' here......," Ziegler replied nonchalantly, "Is that what you want to say?"
"If you're only working here for a short period of time, it's fine, but if you're staying here for a long time, it's easy to have psychological problems. "Cervantes had been observing the place, and everything in this ruin seemed to have a cold bias.
Even though the institute would have been full of people when it was in operation, the institute was so empty that it could be uncomfortable to look at it.
If you live in this kind of place for a long time, then there will definitely be a lot of psychological problems for the researchers, and at that time, if a group of mentally problematic arcanists are let out, maybe at some point it will cause huge losses to the Arcane Empire itself.
The current mage system is inherited from the Arcanists, and the division of the eight major factions also comes from the Arcanists, whether it is the [Enchantment] or the [Illusion] mages have a full study of the human psyche and the psychology and spirit of other lives, Cervantes does not believe that the Arcanists are not aware of this.
And so far, they haven't found out where the real research facilities are, and they haven't found buildings like 'warehouses', which is really puzzling.
With the dormitory on the right side of the space, would the Arcanists still have the research facilities at the other end?
The most important thing is that they didn't see any equipment and facilities related to 'food' in the dormitory, which means that if this place is really inhabitable, the place where the researchers eat on weekdays should be somewhere else, but along the way, they have found no place similar to the 'cafeteria'.
It is impossible for every researcher to have the power to use precise teleportation, but if the teleportation ability that comes with this research institute is used, I am afraid that the two magic energy furnaces will not be able to meet the daily needs of the researchers, after all, there are so many places that need to use energy here that it is impossible to use all of them for 'teleportation'.
In addition to the neat arrangement of the dormitory complexes, the architectural distribution of the two complexes they had just seen was simply miserable, as if they had been designed by a mad low-level demon, and the scattered appearance looked a little maddening.
Some of the walls are just next to each other, while others are far apart, and the complexes look huge, but if you subtract the wasted space, they are actually about three or four times larger than the dormitory complexes.
Everything about this ruin is so strange that until now, the two-headed dragon still has a lot of doubts in his heart.
"Cervantes, do you think there is such a possibility......" As he was about to reach the next complex, Ziegler suddenly called out in a loud voice, his voice paused slightly, and continued, "These buildings can actually be moved, those buildings may be built on some kind of 'plates', and those plates can be moved, the real appearance of this institute may not be what we see now, so it seems so awkward and unreasonable now." ”
Cervantes pondered for a moment, but then sneered and asked, "Does it make sense?"
Ziegler was also stunned, yes, does that make sense?
Soon, though, he put the question behind him, as they had come to another complex.
The buildings here are as cold as the ones that came before them, but they are taller and taller.
"Here it is...... Library, or archives?"
As far as the eye can see, there are very few buildings here compared to the previous buildings, only a few scattered on this steel land.
Walking to the door of one of the buildings, Cervantes kicked it in, but to his surprise, this time he only opened the door of an area in front of him, not the entire door.
With a slight raise of his eyebrows, the black dragon took the lead in entering the entire building.
The building was so brightly lit that he didn't even know where the light came from.
"Search separately!"
After giving an order, Cervantes himself walked over to the metal utensils that looked like bookshelves.
His eyes swept over the empty utensils, and then saw the tables and chairs placed in the center of this floor, and subconsciously thought of the 'library', and the library in Wende City was also a similar display.
Ziegler walked over to Cervantes with a frown and whispered, "It looks like here...... It's not that it's been cleaned, it's that it's really not used. ”
There aren't a single book on the shelves, it's so abnormal, could it be that the Arcane Empire still has the leisure to clean up everything here when it goes to war with other organizations on the continent, and then throw this 'research institute' here?
During that period, almost all of the Arcane Empire's research institutes were put into combat readiness, and experimental objects, whether proven to be effective or unproven, were thrown onto the battlefield, bringing great combat power to the Arcane Empire.
But this institute is unusual, instead of stepping up research, it has packed up everything, abandoned this place here, and set up an automatic cleaning function before leaving, waiting for future generations to find out and accept it?
No, it can't be!
Cervantes didn't answer, he looked thoughtfully at the things here, as if he thought of something.
Then, suddenly, he asked, "Didn't we just come in and find that from the direction we came we could see a passage to another place?"
"yes...... Ziegler nodded, blinked, and reacted, "You don't think that passage is actually a passage to a research facility, do you?"
"Dormitories, farms, farms, libraries...... Can you find what these buildings have in common?" asked Cervantes, counting the complexes one by one, and then asked thoughtlessly.
Ziegler's brows furrowed again when he heard this, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, "Living buildings? are all buildings related to life, that is, it is very likely that this is just a living area?"
Cervantes shook his head and said indifferently: "I'm not sure, but then I'm going to go directly through those complexes, without checking, and go directly to the next area to have a look." ”
"You decide!" Ziegler neither disagreed nor approved.
In fact, Cervantes did exactly that, leading the party through the other two complexes and heading straight to the gate that separated the two areas.
The gate, like the one they had passed through when they entered the ruins, was topped with an extremely cumbersome magic lock that even Ziegler, who had had experience in unlocking once, would have taken nearly an hour.
It's a bit strange why there is such a cumbersome magic lock between the two areas, and even comparing the magic lock on the door at the entrance.
It is believed that the Arcanist should have a fairly easy way to pick locks, but this is also too strange......
Then, as if to confirm Cervantes' words, when the door was once again pulled open by brute force by the two dragons, an area that looked like a research site appeared before them.
Compared to the previous area, the color scheme here is completely opposite, with a predominantly dark color instead of silver and white.
But, the same ice-cold!
Even if the lights shone in this area, they could not dispel the darkness that shrouded everyone's hearts......
