Little Lord's Dark Castle

Chapter 113 Exploring the Ruins
Soon, Chu Xin got a feedback from the ghost wolf, and learned that there was an empty platform inside, and there was no danger.But the further situation, the ghost wolf can't express it in detail.

Chu Xin began to organize a group of troops to enter one by one. The battle dwarves took the lead, followed by ghost wolves, gray goblin crossbowmen, yellow scarf magicians, Rosa and others.As for himself, he finally entered it after confirming that there was no danger inside.

Inside the wall is a large platform, the floor is covered with neat and orderly stone bricks, inside is a series of stairs extending to the ground, and outside is a metal gate.

The stairs are made of wood and look brand new. They extend down, and there are dim magic lamps hanging on the walls on both sides.

I have to say that this magic laboratory is really powerful. Judging from the ruins, I don't know how many years have passed, but the items inside have not corroded and disappeared with the passage of time, and even still maintain a normal operating state.

Chu Xin's heart was a little more vigilant, and normal operation meant that some of the magic traps inside hadn't expired with the passage of time, and a careless move would kill someone.

Continuing down the stairs, Chu Xin came to a small stone room with a stone door surrounded by more than a dozen statue-like objects.

Out of caution, Chu Xin stopped the team and checked the information of these statues.

[Lion's warrior puppet]: A magic puppet made by Ryan, melee physical type.Magic energy 5/1000, strength? ? ?
[Lian's mage puppet]: A magic puppet made by Ryan, a long-range magic type.Magic energy 5/1000, strength? ? ?
[Lian's Bow and Arrow Puppet]: A magic puppet made by Ryan, long-range physical type.Magic energy 5/1000, strength? ? ?
[Lion's giant shield puppet]: A magic puppet made by Ryan, a melee physical defense type.Magic energy 5/1000, strength? ? ?
[Lian's Assassin Puppet]: A magic puppet made by Ryan, melee physical type.Magic energy 5/1000, strength? ? ?
Several kinds of puppets have the same tall body, and their types are distinguished by simple colors.Among them, the warrior puppet is red and holds a two-handed epee; the mage puppet is blue and holds a one-handed staff; the bow and arrow puppet is green and holds a bow and arrow; the shield warrior puppet is yellow and holds a short sword and giant shield; the assassin puppet is purple. , holding two daggers.

Compared with the warrior puppet and giant shield puppet, the other three forms are slightly smaller, especially the assassin puppet, which looks the thinnest.

However, Chu Xin knew that being the thinnest did not mean that it was the weakest, on the contrary, it was probably the most difficult to deal with.The smaller body size also means that they will become more flexible. To be honest, Chu Xin doesn't like such high-sensitivity and high-attack opponents.

All the magic puppets have some cumbersome magic lines engraved on them, but I don't know what they are for.

At this time, these magic puppets remained silent, but Chu Xin knew that once he entered rashly, he might be attacked by them.

It seems that this is the guard of this laboratory. There are fifteen magic puppets in total, three of each.

Chu Xin didn't want to take risks if he couldn't find out the real strength of these magic puppets. After all, the walls outside the house were made of five-star metal materials. How could the magic puppets be weak as gatekeepers?
According to his estimation, at least the strength of going up to five stars, this level of combat power, currently no one under his command can resist it.

A frontal breakthrough is definitely not advisable, so Chu Xin decided to find another way.

As for the breakthrough point, these magic puppets only have five points of magic power left. As long as you are patient enough to drain the magic power of these magic puppets as power, you can take down these magic puppets without bloodshed.

The most important thing is that the puppet's body can also be preserved intact, whether it is for secondary use or as research, it is excellent.

However, Chu Xin had no way of knowing how long the 5 points of mana could last, so he could only try slowly.If it really can't be consumed, then the iron scale can only be circled again, and a passage is dug out from the other side to enter the laboratory.

"Bang!"

Huge stones were thrown on several puppets, but there was no movement, and the magic puppets didn't respond at all, ignoring the provocation of these stones at all.

Chu Xin frowned. It seemed that these puppets should have some kind of automatic detection mechanism, and would not be automatically activated by inanimate objects.

"Go up and have a look, if the situation is not right, just withdraw from the ghost attack!" Chu Xin asked the ghost wolf, who had a faster speed, to seduce him, while he himself consciously stepped back tens of meters, separated from the stone room below. distanced.

These magic puppets are extremely powerful, in order to avoid dying from unknown AOE, he decided to persuade them.

Sure enough, as soon as the ghost wolf approached, one of the green bow and arrow puppet's eyes lit up red, and it raised its hand and shot two arrows at the ghost wolf.

Its arrows were so fast that almost instantly, the ghost wolf was nailed to the ground before it could enter the ghost state.

If it wasn't for the ghost wolf's quick enough reaction to enter the ghost state in time to avoid the third arrow that must kill, it would probably die.

The ghost wolf withdrew quickly, and the bow and arrow puppet seemed to have a fixed range of movement, and did not catch up with the ghost wolf's escape path. After waiting in place for a few minutes, the red light in its eyes went out again, and it entered a standby state.

[Lian's Bow and Arrow Puppet]: A magic puppet made by Ryan, long-range physical type.Magic energy 5/1000, strength? ? ?
Chu Xin checked the state of the bow and arrow puppet, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. The seduction of the ghost wolf just now didn't consume too much magic energy of the bow and arrow puppet, but almost got him into it.

What's more, these puppets are just watching the dishes, and they will make their own judgments based on the strength of the intruders, and they will not resume their actions all at once.

"Try again!"

Chu Xin asked the yellow scarf sorcerer who came with him to use the technique of paper figurines and grass horses to directly imitate a large group of monsters and kill them inside.

This time, all the puppets came to life, and with two or three strokes, the yellow turban sorcerer's paper figurines were wiped out. A few minutes later, the puppets fell into silence again.

After repeating this several times, finally, the mana of the bow and arrow puppet who woke up first dropped to 4.

Chu Xin guessed that most of its energy should be consumed in starting, just like driving, the vehicle is constantly starting and shutting down, which consumes a lot of fuel.

In the following time, the yellow turban sorcerer and the ghost wolf appeared on the stage in turn, and they ran away after flirting up. After nearly an hour, these puppets finally languished.

All the magic power of the magic puppets had been reduced to 0. No matter how the ghost wolf spun and jumped up, they would not move. Chu Xin finally felt relieved and stepped forward to check.

Fifteen magic puppets were tried one by one, and none of them could be stored in the warehouse, which gave him a bit of a headache.

But such a good thing, Chu Xin didn't intend to let it go, and called the fighting dwarves to move it outside.These magic puppets must have manipulation props or instructions, and they can be studied slowly when they are moved back to the territory.

The magic puppets are more than three meters tall, and the passage they came in is not enough to move them out, but they can go out through the gate. Iron Scale only needs to dig a passage leading to the gate from the outside.

After removing these magic puppets, there is a small door in the depths of the stone room, with many magic inscriptions engraved on it to protect the door.

It is definitely not advisable to break the door by force. Chu Xin took out the special item he just got, Joke's master key.

This master key looks like a Rubik's cube. As it approaches the door lock, it starts to turn rapidly, as if a pair of invisible hands are turning the Rubik's cube.

"Crack!"

As the Rubik's Cube returned to its six-sided perfect state, the door lock also made a crisp sound, and the door opened automatically!
"It's amazing!" Chu Xin tossed the Rubik's Cube in her hand with satisfaction. It was really unexpected that the adventurer still had such a good thing in his hand.

Behind the door is a deep corridor. At first glance, it is almost more than 100 meters long.

"This mage named Ryan is really cautious!" Chu Xin muttered, and ordered the team to start repairing in the stone room.

Whether it's the paper figurine horse of the Yellow Turban sorcerer or the ghost impact of the ghost wolf, they have consumed a lot of magic power, and it takes a while to recover.

While waiting, Chu Xin tried to throw a few stones, but as expected, there was a certain recognition ability in the corridor, and no trap was triggered.

In desperation, he had no choice but to suppress his restless heart and wait patiently. Hot tofu is definitely not enough to be impatient.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Chu Xin began to explore again.As the pioneers of the pathfinding, the first to bear the brunt is naturally the yellow turban sorcerer's paper man and grass horse. These transformed monsters easily deceived the magic trap in the corridor.

Flames, ice, lightning, wind blades...

It took Chu Xin more than two hours for the Yellow Turban sorcerer's magic power to recover and dry up, and the magic traps in the corridor became less and less powerful, and finally stopped completely.

With the failure of the magic trap, Chu Xin found that most of the magic lights on the top of the corridor were also dimmed. Obviously, the energy inside the ruins had reached a rather embarrassing level.

After making the ghost wolf and the fighting dwarf try several times, Chu Xin entered the long corridor with confidence, and at the end, there was a hall.

"call!"

Chu Xin let out a breath and spent three or four hours before finally entering the core area of ​​the magic laboratory.

I have to say that this relic is indeed very powerful. If it wasn't for the lack of energy that caused many protective measures to fail, with Chu Xin's current strength, he might not be able to break through to the inside of the relic head-on.

After entering this core area, it becomes very safe. After all, no one will place a lot of traps in their own home.

The area of ​​the magic laboratory is not large, about seven to eight hundred square meters. It is divided into multiple functional areas such as bedrooms, study rooms, and laboratories. Among them, the laboratory occupies the largest area.

The first thing Chu Xin explored was the study room, which was full of bookshelves, with all kinds of books piled up on it. It seemed that there were at least thousands of them.

"How Puppets Are Made", "The Mystery of the Soul", "Lian's Experimental Log"...

There are many books in it, of all kinds. Chu Xin, who knows that knowledge is power, decisively packed all these books away.

Including those bookcases, they seem to be made of some fragrant sandalwood. Chu Xin checked and found that it was still a six-star special wood. Good guy, take it away!

Soon, only the bare walls remained in the study room, which was filled with the smell of books, and even the chandelier on the top was pried away.

Next, the second room is the laboratory.

Chu Xin found some finished medicines and some scientific research supplies in the laboratory. They were nothing fancy. The big ones were put into the warehouse, and the small ones were moved directly.

Lab, evacuate!

Finally, Chu Xin entered a small room.

This room is very clean and beautifully decorated, with all kinds of gemstones inlaid on the walls and plush blankets on the floor.

On the bed, lay a skeleton, the corpse of Ryan, who seemed to have been dead for a long time.

Chu Xin hesitated for a moment, considering whether to let Friday absorb it, but after thinking about it, forget it.After all, they ransacked someone else's house without leaving any bones. Chu Xin was afraid that this guy would turn into a wraith and come to cause trouble for him.

Of course, the main reason is that Friday is not very interesting.

In the bedroom, Chu Xin also found a diary and a book with a black cover. The cover was painted with complex textures in gold and red. These textures flowed with unknown luster and fluctuations as if they were alive.

The diary roughly recorded some of Ryan's daily life. Through the above records, Chu Xin learned that the owner of this laboratory was a seven-star mage named Ryan, who died more than 200 years ago.

And that book was a magic book, and it was a six-star magic book. Chu Xin was overjoyed to put it in the warehouse.

After putting away the bed in the bedroom, Chu Xin accidentally found the control center of the entire territory under the bed, inlaid with five alien beast cores that had gradually turned white. Chu Xin checked and found that it was an eight-star The magic core, but the energy in it has been consumed almost.

This kind of magic core is difficult to reuse, but Chu Xin remembered that the construction conditions of the Elven Garden did not restrict the use of magic cores that had exhausted energy, and maybe they could be used to build Elf Garden resource points.

As Chu Xin took out the magic core, the entire magic laboratory lost its magic power. The magic lamps in all the passageways were quickly extinguished one by one, and the entire ruins fell into darkness in an instant.

At the same time, the map also showed the existence of this ruin. It should have concealed magic circles, but with the exhaustion of energy, it gradually lost its effect.

Chu Xin organized the evacuation of the people from the ruins while taking stock of his gains.

The most important gains are of course a six-star magic book, five eight-star alien beast cores, and fifteen magic puppets. In addition, there are more than 1000 books of various types, experiment logs, and other items in the laboratory. Medicines and medicine recipes.

Chu Xin didn't take a closer look at the latter. He planned to sort it out slowly after returning to the territory.

During this trip to the small town of Ferlon, Chu Xin picked up a lot of mistakes. He never thought that there would be such a ruin hidden under the mage tower.

　Finished working overtime, I'm in a hurry, I'll fix it tomorrow
