Section 501 X Thinking of Different X (6)
"You're not looking at the wrong person." One of the mages looked at the people around him and said. "There was a lot that was wrong with the previous thing."
"It's not just us, but the students who are close to Halwick have all kinds of anomalies. In such a situation, if something goes wrong, it is normal for us to be sacrificed. Another mage next to him said. No problem, Hughes, we've got your back. β
Solidify and fade.
"Why are you telling them?"
In an underground stone house, Pluto said to Hughes with some dissatisfaction. "Aren't you afraid that some of them will leak the news?"
"Hopefully they won't." Hughes said. "But even if you want to take this risk, you have to tell them that ---- rely on you and me to study this kind of magic. This kind of thing, you have to find someone to help. β
Pluto sighed.
"What's the point of concealing it if they need to do it?" Hughes said. "How can research be carried out without concealing the purpose?"
"If Harwick knewβ" said Pluto. It's going to be a hassle. β
"Then he can't do anything." Hughes said. "Do you remember? I questioned him before, and he didn't do anything in front of everyone. Now if something happens to me, everyone will suspect him. β
"He...."Pluto thought for a moment and nodded. Well, that's all there is to it. β
"The trouble now is that in addition to manpower, we need a lot of materials to conduct experiments." Hughes said. "There are some materials, there is no way to apply to Tonks, he will be suspicious."
"I can get some of this." Pluto muttered. "Before, the family's warehouse...."
"Halwick has pretty much cleaned up the nearby beasts lately." Hughes said. "Listening to Tonks, it seems that he intends to start moving the nobles' warehouses after this operation is over."
"Does he know where the warehouse is?" Pluto was surprised.
"It seems that some of the people who were resurrected before also knew about the situation in the warehouse." Hughes said. "Those noble mages..."
"That is, we must move faster." Pluto said. "Normally, how long does it take for outsiders to enter?"
"The specific incident is difficult to determine, but it will take at least more than a month." Hughes said. "A lot of the teams that came in before were killed. According to the past rules, there will be a lot of new outsiders coming in next time. When the time comes, we can re-lock another team..."
"Let's talk about this then.... Do you think Halwick will continue the same strategy as before? "Pluto didn't object to the 'relockdown' argument, but asked." Using outsiders to help us clean up the beasts? β
"Maybe he'll use them all as test subjects." Hughes said. "I've heard Tristan talk about it before, and they've had a few discussions about that 'revival' magic. After that, experiments may be carried out multiple times. β
"In that case," Pluto muttered. There's not much we can do. β
"We had a discussion about this magic, and there were a lot of difficulties. It's not so easy to succeed in research. Hughes said. I feel like it's going to take at least three months to get some eyebrows. Are you sure we can really follow the Contractors from outside into their world? You are not mistaken. β
"This... Not fully guaranteed. Pluto said. It can only be said that theoretically this magic can achieve this effect...."
"Then more needs to be tested." Hughes groaned. "Maybe it's going to take years to complete."
"How would we live if we entered those worlds? Is it possible for the body to return to its original state at that time? β
He began to say some ideas for the future. While hearing this, Yuan Sen remembered some of the changes he had seen before.
Well, after they enter the 2012 scene, some of them will become scientists and do research in research institutes; Some will become 'undead'... Or some other chivalrous man, hoeing the strong and helping the weak everywhere in the city, and doing chivalrous deeds.
That's the world these people come into. It didn't take years, it didn't take three months, and their research worked right away.
"Maybe we can find some people to work with." Pluto said. "If they had understood our situation, they would have helped us.... What do you think Harwick would have done if he found out we'd left? β
"That's another story. If we do research, he can't do anything. But if we leave, he'll probably come after him. Hughes said. Escaped experiments. β
"This aspect should also be considered in advance." Pluto said. "Be prepared...."
Solidify and fade.
"The contents of the warehouse have been counted and are being transported back to the castle. Now, another group of people has been arranged, and they are cleaning up the surrounding beasts, and when they are done, they can move on to the next warehouse. β
Tonks stood on a hillside, looking down, listening to the apprentice beside him read this, but didn't say anything.
Not far in front of him, skeletons dressed as soldiers were carrying many boxes out of the underground passages. Next to them, a handful of mages and apprentices supervised and reprimanded them, with no intention of helping with magic.
"These are going to be transported to the teacher's lab?"
Beside him, Tristan's voice rang out. It turned out that he didn't die either.
"yes." Tonks turned and looked at his companion. "There's less material here than expected."
"And the armor and weapons they say." Tristan said. "Maybe we've only found part of it."
"And where is the rest hidden?" Tonks asked. "We've searched it all. I've also used detection magic...."
"Why don't you blow it up?" Tristan turned his head, looked into the distance, and said.
"Explode?" Tonks was surprised. "Seriously?"
"Those nobles don't have great magic." Tristan said. "The way they camouflage warehouses is nothing more than the traditional ones."
"In such a situation, wouldn't it be nice for us to be a little rough? If they blow it up, how will they cover up and hide the materials hidden inside? β
"But," Tonks thought. If you do that, you'll destroy the materials. β
"Destroy it, destroy it." Tristan said. "So what? As long as we can confirm exactly where the destroyed materials are and what methods they use..."
