Chapter 24 Corundum
There was no such cold mist just now, but it appeared at this time. It is not difficult to guess that there are substances that intermittently generate cold mist inside.

This natural phenomenon caught Nora's attention, so the three of them continued to go deep into the cave.

As they went deeper, the thickness and scope of the cold fog gradually increased.

Not long after, the three of them came to an irregular and narrow hole, the size of which only children aged three or five could pass through.

The cold mist is slowly penetrating from the other side of the cave entrance.

Nora, who often travels to and from various archaeological sites, habitually launched a bee eye detector to find the way.The bee eye detector is about the size of a bee, but it is equipped with real-time imaging and basic scanning functions.

The pictures sent back showed that there was still a long corridor inside, and it was obvious that the source of the fog was still deeper.

Recalling the bee-eye detector, Nora discussed with Eli.

Eli surveyed the structure. This location is not a load-bearing wall. Miniature electromagnetic bombs can be used to conduct single-point blasting to open up a passable space without causing collapse.

Eli took out a coin-sized miniature electromagnetic bomb, also known as a button bomb, and activated it after successfully placing it.

The miniature electromagnetic bomb is a common weapon used by northern agents, special forces and mercenaries. It is small and easy to carry, and it does not move much when it works.

The wall was shaken by the button bombs, and soon, the opening for them to pass through was opened.

After the dust fell to the ground, a gust of cold mist that was visible to the naked eye, condensed like frost, undulated like a wave, rushed towards the face.

The apparent temperature of the armor dropped a few more degrees, and they were not far from their destination.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the originally narrow passage instantly opened up, and a cave with a space that was less spacious than the mine outside appeared impressively.

It can be vaguely seen that there are spherical white crystals scattered here and there. They are not as tall as the crystal pillars outside, but they are like ice cubes, and they are constantly emitting cold air.

This space is filled with a long white mist, even wearing armor, it seems that the sticky and cold cold mist floats into a haze, blocking the line of sight.

Eli turns on the night vision goggles to check the entire space for unknown threats.

There is no sign of living things, but there seems to be something on the four walls and the center of the cave here.

Nora looked at these spherical egg-shaped white crystals and took samples for analysis as usual.

But at the moment of contact with the surface of the spar, it was found that the cold air generated by these spar turned into frost and quickly spread to the armored arm.

The armor's alarm system indicated that the temperature was too low, the temperature was -46°.

If she hadn't reacted quickly and pulled away in time, the armor would have been damaged due to the lack of heating and being frozen in time.

Nora looked around. The temperature of the air outside the armor was 4°C. There was no such a low-temperature environment around here. This kind of spar was strange and had to be sampled and analyzed.

She changed to a non-contact method, using a portable laser pointer for quantitative cutting and sampling.

By the way, remind An Randyll and Eli not to come into direct contact with this spar.

Alanduil wandered around casually, and when he saw a unique spar, he immediately felt amusing.

"Brother, you look a little unruly."

"You see everyone is round, how come you are rectangular?"

The white spar in front of Alanduil is different from all the spherical crystals present, it is in the shape of a flat stele.

Nora was attracted by Alandir's voice. She stepped forward and saw that this spar was different from the surrounding spherical spar. It was 1.5 meters high, 1 meter wide and 20 centimeters thick.

There are traces of processing, not natural formation.

Look carefully, there are some pictographic patterns carved on it.

The strokes and shape of the pattern are somewhat similar to the characters of ancient times, but they are quite different from the history of the language after the dark ages in the north.

Nor is it like the southern script they see from the southern metaclass memory images.

The cold fog gradually faded, and the location of the crystal tablet was revealed. The surrounding spherical crystal stones surrounded the square crystal tablet, diffracting outward like water ripples.

Alanduil couldn't figure it out: "It's really strange, the cold fog disappeared without a trace, and the surface temperature of these spherical crystals became normal."

After the cold fog disappeared, the line of sight became clear. The space of this cave was almost half the size of a football field.

There are roughly hundreds of spherical white crystals on the ground, and there are three square crystal monuments, all surrounded by their own spherical white crystals.

On the surrounding walls, strange symbols and inscriptions are engraved, densely occupying the four walls.

On the other side of the hole, there was a different entrance and exit from the one they entered.

Alanduil approached the cube, but couldn't think of anything, so he chose the simplest method and asked the beauty.

"Nora, what is this place, and what are the graffiti around here?"

Nora quickly got into the mood: "This should be an ancient relic in the south, or a tomb."

"Specifically, we have to scan and extract the information here, and bring it back for analysis."

Alandir got goosebumps instantly, did they break into someone else's cemetery?
"Then why are there no coffins or mummies like museums?"

"Or is it like an ancient entertainment drama, with a mechanism?"

Thinking of this, Alanduil was eager to try, touching and touching.This spherical spar is not good, so I will change it to another one, and even the square crystal tablet will be fiddled with.

After a lot of tossing and no movement, Alanduil lost interest.

But seeing Eli standing by the wall all the time, he seemed to be in a daze.

Alanduil leaned over, preparing for a sneak attack from behind to avenge his previous fall!
Alendir approached cautiously and quietly, 3, 2, 1!

With a bang, Alanduil fell heavily to the ground. He was protected by armor, but he was fine, but he felt a little tight in his chest!
Why, he is so careful! ?

Eli stepped over the lying corpse of Alendil, and said to Nora: "You need to read the information on the wall here."

Nora is adjusting the scanning thresholds of the three bee-eye detectors. The information that Eli can pay attention to must not be simple.

Nora ignored the self-inflicted Arendil, stepped over his body, and looked at the wall.

This wall is basically engraved with strange inscriptions and symbols, but there are a few scenes similar to stick figure murals.

According to the murals, it can be preliminarily judged that the theme is sacrifice and battle.

The Southern metaclasses are at war, and based on their attire and runes, are clearly two opposing factions.One of them was an eye-like symbol they had seen in Sanda Village.

The other one looks like a horizontal 8-character symbol. The cold weapons in these people's hands are all emitting light.

The crowd with the eye symbol wins, and then an image of a god appears, and this god, who can only see his body shrouded in light, bestows honor on these people.

These myths are not what Nora focuses on, but the gem-like spar patterns that appear many times in these scenes.

One of the jewel-like luminescent patterns may be the ether spar!
That's what they were looking for!

But this mural has no color, and the specific properties of this spar remain to be studied.

"This is indeed the ether spar we are looking for. Now extract all the information about this cave."

Alendir, who had been left out all the time, stood up after some self-comfort, and worked hard.

After a while, they finished extracting the information, and Yang Chen's call came.

The three of Nora immediately returned to the crystal mine from where they came from. At this time, the village chief of Sangda Village and several of their warriors gathered in the mine, and they were taking the three tied Luosha city back to the mine. The people in the village took them away.

Yang Chen couldn't wait to share it with Alandier: "Brother Alan, I found a solvent to stabilize the shells. I tested it outside and it succeeded!"

"If I improve the outer packaging, I can keep it for a long time!"

Alandir responded with a few words: "Very good, you don't have to be afraid of being oppressed by other villagers in the future!"

"However, sell us a dozen or so at the previous price."

Yang Chen thought, these are all worthless materials: "I'll give you some self-defense."

The village head learned the whole story through his granddaughter Qiuyan, and when he heard Yang Chen's words, he interrupted: "Thank you three for saving my granddaughter and Yang Chen, as a token of respect, please come to the village to rest and let us express our gratitude. "

Alanduil looked at Nora, and Nora signaled that the most important thing now is for her to go back and analyze the white spar inside the ruins.

"No need for the village chief, we have spent a lot of time here, and we need to go to the next village."

"Since this is the case, then we will not force it. Sangda Village thanks everyone for their help."

When the village chief saw this, he didn't hold back, and with other warriors, leaning his right hand against his left chest, he bent his body forward to show respect to them.

The three of Nora had limited knowledge of southern etiquette, but they just followed suit.

The right hand rests on the left chest, and the upper body is half bent to express the return.

The village chief, who got up after the ceremony, glanced at a white spar in a transparent container from the corner of his eye, paused, and then strode forward, approaching Nora.

The tone was extremely sullen: "How did you get the corundum?"

Feeling the killing intent, Eli quickly stood in front of Nora, staggering the distance between the village chief and Nora.

Nora was very surprised by the village head who suddenly changed his face. The spar in this test tube could not be their treasure, right?
The village chief signaled the warriors to be alert, with a cold expression: "Say it!"

Alanduil laughed: "Isn't it just a piece of spar? If you want it, you can go to the cave inside to collect it, there are a bunch of it!"

The village chief's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Trespass into the forbidden area of ​​my Sangda village, arrest them!"

The warriors of Sangda Village drew out their weapons one after another and surrounded the three of Nora.

Qiu Yan and Yang Chen on the side were also very surprised and embarrassed, why did they suddenly become like this?

Eli entered the state of preparation for battle. These five people were all elderly senior warriors, and their combat experience was not comparable to that of the three people from Losa City.

It is basically impossible to get out safely without using hot weapons.

Nora held down Eli's movement to draw the gun, and said to the village chief; "Village chief, we didn't intentionally break into the forbidden area of ​​Sangda Village, but we just found the cold fog and followed into that cave!"

"If offended, we apologize!"

Qiu Yan and Yang Chen also interceded: "Grandpa, they really don't know where the forbidden area of ​​our Sangda village is. It was just unintentional to enter the forbidden area by accident. They saved us just now. Isn't it revenge for doing this now?"

Yang Chen: "I haven't found the forbidden area when I come here several times, how could they do it on purpose?"

The village chief snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the love they helped you just now, these three people would not be locked up so easily!"

Although Nora was at a loss, she knew that the ruins were a forbidden area of ​​Sanda Village, and it was much faster to obtain information from them than to slowly decipher it.

Nora: "Village Chief, we will go back with you, there is no need to hurt both of you, but after you calm down, I hope we can have a good talk."

At Nora's insistence, Alanduil compromised, and the three were tied up and locked in the cellar of Sanda Village.

　Welfare notice, after the collection exceeds 1000, I will send a big red envelope to express my gratitude, and I can only get it by voting for the recommendation~ I hope everyone will continue to pay more attention, high-quality comments, forwarding support, and there will be more benefits in the future~
