Chapter 119 The collapse of an adult is in an instant
The deep tunnel extends obliquely downwards. Although the group of wizards used Muggle-like manual digging, things like magic are usually unreasonable.
The enchanted shovel cuts through the soil and gravel like tofu. The enchanted mining pick can smash the big stones blocking the way with just one click. The special potion can solidify the soil holes dug downwards. Yes, there is no such thing at all.
Fast pulled out his wand and threw many light spells forward. The fist-sized ball of light instantly illuminated the tunnel. Although there were no stairs, it was inconvenient when going down, but with a floating spell, they could You can even play a drift by falling lightly along the ramp.
After a short while, Fast fell to the bottom, and the group of mice dug to the outer wall of the castle basement, which was close at hand, and dug a small space here, but the black stones blocked them Step forward, this black stone made by unconventional means is something that they can't break even with the mining picks in their hands.
"It seems that this group of people is still a little smart, and they know how to dig down and get in through the sewer, but this kind of ancient war fortress doesn't have a sewer, this is common sense."
"If he was really smart, he wouldn't have come to do this. He must be a wandering wizard from some small country. Aren't all magic schools like Hogwarts?"
"That's true." Mr. Zhang nodded. "I doubt that the students taught by the United Magic School in those small countries can pass the ordinary wizard exam. They need to be reformed through labor and re-educated."
"To avoid embarrassment, right?"
They laughed 'hehehe' a few times, and Fast once again took the lead and jumped towards the passageway below.
"Pay attention to Ron later, it will be another world after going down here."
Digo is No.1 who came here with the Ministry of Magic. He has a temporary job in the Ministry of Magic and does not have to go to work. Whenever he encounters something like this about the ruins, he will follow the Aurors and provide them with some professionalism. There is no fixed salary, and it is a profession similar to that of a consultant. After all, you may not be able to meet once or twice a year, so there is no need to set up a special position.
"What's down there?"
"Just jump down and you'll know."
Diego followed Fast's footsteps and jumped into the hole below, and Ron followed suit.
This downward path is much longer than the entrance. The rats who dug holes before are trying to find the entrance of the sewer they imagined. The twisted tunnel is hundreds of meters long. This group of people probably also dug He was dizzy, and even deviated from his original destination.
At the end of the corridor, a broken collapsed pothole appeared there, and the irregular broken cracks connected a downward crack. As the falling time became longer, the width of the crack became wider.
The floating spell slowed down the falling speed, and Ron floated for nearly a minute in the crack illuminated only by the light spell.
The sound of running water came to the ears. There should be an underground river under the crack. When the sound of the water became intense, Ron's falling posture suddenly froze. He stepped on the hard rocky ground. The big hand grabbed him and moved to the side, and Mr. Zhang was the last one to fall down.
"Welcome to the adventurer's paradise, the lost land that contains countless unknown mysteries and riches."
A ball of light appeared from the tip of Digo's staff to illuminate the surroundings. When the white light dispelled the surrounding darkness, an underground passage with obvious traces of artificial processing appeared in front of Ron.
Not far behind Ron's back was a rushing underground river, and a dilapidated building similar to a pier could be vaguely seen on the bank of the underground river, but now it was hard to tell the exact shape.
"In order to prevent all-pervasive thieves, most alchemy workshops are built in underground caves. Thieves are not only wizards. Those highly intelligent magical creatures, such as goblins, are even more difficult to guard against. , but it is relatively simple to deviate from the end point of their migration."
Digo explained for Ron, and then pointed to the wall of the cave.
"I bet that there must be a lot of bones left over from that era in the soil layer near here, and they were moved to the side layer. Your body will be mixed with the soil, and there is absolutely no possibility of surviving."
"What about the stone man?"
Fast, who was setting up a temporary camp, asked with a smile.
"If I can meet a stone man in my life, I will definitely ask for you."
"By the way, Ron, don't step on it. There used to be a layer of plasma intestines and the like. After the group of mice fell, they triggered a trap that still works. The place where this crack connects is the ruins. Their previous entrances and exits, their luck was not so good, but after coming here, I think they have been used up.”
"Ron's a kid, don't scare him like that."
Looking at Ron who moved back with a look of disgust, Mr. Zhang patted Digo on the back angrily.
"Don't worry, kid. Digo is a very powerful trap cracking expert. He has dismantled all the traps that are still in effect or may be in effect in this passage. Our current location is definitely one of the safest places here."
"That's right, I cut off all the magical circuits buried here that are still effective, and the magic stone that alone powers the mechanism trap has been scrapped. To be on the safe side, I also dismantled all those things, but open the door. Deciphering is not my job, it's up to Byron."
"I have to mention one thing." Digo pointed to the scattered places that had been turned over. "The traps here are the most and most vicious that I have seen so far."
"It's all powerful magic mechanisms. I don't think any wizards who want to force their way here, whether they are wizards or not, or even giants, can survive here."
"Of course, what I'm talking about is that when these organs were in good condition, at least thousands of years have passed, and the things left in them are already broken. Only those stupid thieves will be recruited. It is absolutely impossible to follow me. Something will happen."
After eating something in the temporary camp that was set up, Ron followed the three of them along the corridor.
The corridor in front was not long, about 30 meters ahead, a round stone gate that completely blocked the narrower corridor appeared in front of everyone.
Four metal rings were inlaid on the stone gate. Even after such a long time interval, these metal rings shining with brass luster still did not have the slightest rust, and even the words on the discs were not blurred at all. signs.
After the remaining dust was swept away, the ring reflecting the cold metallic luster revealed their appearance.
"This was one of the most popular and reliable entrance designs at the time. The gate was connected to the alchemy array that covered the entire building. If you want to break through the gate, you must either instantly output destructive power beyond the limit, or It is necessary to weaken the magic power in the alchemy formation to the point where it cannot maintain the operation of the alchemy formation."
"Of course, this door is not unbreakable."
"Did you see the words on the four rings? The only disadvantage of this gate is that no matter how it changes, they can only use a regular combination of magic words to connect the gate and the alchemy array behind the building."
"32 runes. At that time, runes were divided into groups of horoscopes, which are slightly different from the 777 we like now. I heard that there were gods and demons at that time, and 8 was sacred. number."
"But maybe the god was pulled from the sky by a wizard and killed, so the most magical number becomes 7."
While taking out some small props to check the gate, Mr. Zhang explained to Ron how to tell which arrangement the owner was using.
Runes are relatively rigid characters, and they correspond to a unique magical power one by one, so if they want to achieve similar or similar effects, there will not be too many changes in them.
Just like the magic text combinations used in this door, there are only 250 or six combinations.
But after completing all the tests, Mr. Zhang turned around and opened his hands to everyone.
"There is good news and there is bad news, which one are you going to hear?"
"Good news." Fast said very calmly. He has seen this situation many times.
"The good news is that I have found the combination of magic patterns. The magic used to hide the magic wires has been invalidated. I can make the key very quickly,"
"What about the bad news?" Diego asked.
"This door can't be opened normally, it's disconnected."
Mr. Zhang moved the metal disc, and after several manipulations, he transformed into a strange looking key, inserted it directly into the hidden keyhole of the innermost ring, and then twisted it hard.
It seems that there is a clicking sound of some mechanism being opened.
However. Nothing happened. Finding the password and making the key is of no use.
"As you can see, this thing has been scrapped. If it can be activated, this thing will unscrew in front of us."
"It looks like it's about to be demolished?"
Fast stared at the door eagerly, he couldn't wait a long time ago.
"I think it's better not to blow it open directly. The door lock is unexpectedly well preserved except for the disconnection. If you take it off and take it away, it will be worth at least one or two thousand Galleons, and a buyout of ten thousand Galleons." We paid the fee, so we can’t go back at a loss, right?”
"It's easy, just lock the door, right?"
Fast took out the portable crucible holder from the space bag, then quickly lit the magic fire, scraped some powder from the stone door with a knife, and immediately started to prepare the potion.
As for forced demolition, Fast, who was born as an Auror, is quite good at it.
The disconnected gate no longer had the protection it once had. Although this stone was not an ordinary stone, under the action of potions worth hundreds of Galleons, the stone finally turned into a cloudy pool of liquid and was completely wiped out. Elimination, the door that was stripped of clothes was brutally handled by Fast's salty pigs, and piece after piece of metal parts were unloaded and packed into the space bag.
After stepping through the gate, the scene in front of him was very different from the alchemy workshop Ron thought of.
The first impression of something like a workshop is that it is a small workshop. One or several alchemists and some apprentices are busy tinkering in front of the alchemy table, but after walking through the gate, this kind of petty idea is instantly dismissed. Throwing out of cloud nine.
"Oh~~~~~ah!!!!!!"
A cry of grief and indignation echoed in this cave that no one had visited for an unknown period of time, and the echoes echoed non-stop, colliding in this cave.
Instantly knelt on the ground supporting the floor and wailing bitterly, Fast and Digo hammered the floor hard. The joy of just earning more than 1000 Galleons disappeared in an instant, and even Mr. Zhang couldn't help showing a very heartbroken expression. expression.
"Run!"
Looking at the three adults who were still in a daze, Ron picked up Mr. Zhang who was still a little conscious and threw it on his back, and then picked up Fast and Digger one by one and ran wildly.
"Let me cry for a while, just for a while." Fast wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in despair.
"Then I throw you back?"
"Forget it then, thanks a lot, Ron."
Ron took the three of them back to the temporary camp, and then drew his wand.
"There are many obstacles!"
The smoke dragon that was roaring towards them was immediately blocked in the passageway they had just left. The three adults who were pulling out their wands were stunned, and then retracted their wands in embarrassment. Now they have nothing to do.
"What's the matter with you guys?"
After dealing with these matters, Ron asked with some doubts. He didn't think these three people were poor people who had never seen the world. They were definitely not What kind of people with no family background, as professional adventurers, they must have made a lot of money in their previous adventures.
"This is the alchemy workshop." Fast, who had regained some energy, said.
"I know, what then?" Ron was still a little confused.
"A few words need to be added before the alchemy workshop. This is the war alchemy workshop of the Elric family."
"The Silver Age was an era of endless fighting. They intentionally destroyed all records related to the battle, but it is undeniable that that era had absolutely nothing to do with peace."
"Wizards, magical creatures, and even many things that we don't know, have no records, or have deleted records are fighting a war on a grand scale! A war that has lasted for a long time!"
"That was the most prosperous era in the wizarding world!"
"But he cut off and disappeared for no reason, and even the inheritance has a huge tear. The magic spell we use now is very convenient, but in terms of effect strength, compared with the previous rune magic, it is rubbish. .”
"Sorry, I got off topic. What we just saw was War Workshop, a top-notch alchemy workshop specializing in the production of war machines such as alchemy golems and alchemy colossi!"
Fast's trembling fingers pointed at the calming dust dragon.
"Those floating in the air. They used to be golden little cuties"
"My money."
"It's all ashes!"
"An opportunity to be fucking, goddamn, inhuman rich is right in front of us, and all we can do is watch these cuties turn into worthless dust"
"My heart hurts so much. I could have given those ragged girls a warm and happy home!"
"But it's all gone"
"If these alchemy golems weren't broken, or if they weren't broken so thoroughly"
"We can bring back at least."
Fast held up a finger.
"A billion galleons?" Ron tried to guess.
"It's not that much." Fast withdrew his finger a little embarrassedly, "1000 million should be fine, but it's all turned into ashes."
He sat down on the ground dejectedly, poked the bonfire with his wand, and took out a bottle of clean water 'ton ton ton', intending to get himself drunk. Drinking is absolutely not allowed when taking risks.
"Maybe there are some left in the warehouse?" Sensing the depressed atmosphere, Ron instantly switched identities with them and comforted them. "Maybe there are still many in the warehouse."
"Do you still remember how the Elric family died?"
"Forbidden Alchemy?"
"Yes, they touched the absolutely untouchable taboo of alchemy, and then perished, although there is no detailed record of how they died."
Mr. Zhang sighed.
"But all the records show that their family died at a very fast speed. I can almost think that they died in an instant."
"Didn't I tell you before that the most magical number in the Silver Age is 8, and the one that was erased may be the gods and ghosts recorded in Muggle legends, they are the one that was erased one."
"Perhaps they possess higher powers, but they were pulled down by the wizard and slaughtered cleanly."
"Human beings have never had a history of being ridden on their heads by other strange things. Even if there were, those things would be trampled under their feet in the end, either turned into food, or completely slaughtered. In Europe I don’t know if it’s like this, but in my hometown we have a cookbook, the food on it is quite rich, it’s called "Shan Hai Jing", if you are interested, you can read it."
"We are the most ferocious and terrifying creatures in this world!"
"I wasn't sure how long it took for the Elric family to perish before, but now I'm sure that they should have disappeared within a very short period of time after completing the forbidden alchemy."
"Some of those golems are still on the assembly line, and many of them are piled up at the exit of the assembly line. This shows that when the workshop was still operating, the manager had died, or disappeared, leaving This one is left unattended and continues to operate according to the previously set procedures."
"Look at those golems piled up like a mountain. Most of the materials in the warehouse have been completely used up."
"But let's go and see."
Mr. Zhang, who was a little frustrated, regained his spirits.
"Maybe it's because of this. Maybe we can find some secrets here that we can't see in other places."
"The dead can't erase the things they want to erase together. If we can find those records, this trip will not be in vain."
"Old fellows, Ron has seen enough of our jokes. Although Garen is gone, at least I can brag in front of my grandson about this adventure."
"Oh, by the way, fast, if you want to borrow money, just say it. I have acquaintances in St. Mungo's who specialize in infertility."
"Then I really thank you, the one who lent me [-] yuan and didn't pay it back."
It feels a little short, today is [-] words, I will write a little more, and I don’t guarantee that I can post it today.
The weather is too hot, to be honest, it affects the efficiency a bit, the hard-pressed code writers can't afford the air conditioner, and the code word collapses at that moment
Slip away, code word go.
Notice in advance, the foreshadowing and introduction have been written, and the feature film will be entered next, it is time to start the film and make a way out.
