Wizard: Gou adds a little bit of hunting in the era of steam

Chapter 48

The collection room is located underground in the property management department and is protected by a heavy iron door.

Different from the architectural style of the property management department, the iron gate does not have any gorgeous decorations, nor exquisite carvings, and there are even spots of rust in some places.

Somle took out a palm-long brass key and inserted it into the keyhole. After turning it a few times, the iron door made a crisp "click" sound and then shook violently.

Da, da, da, click... followed by a series of sounds of gears turning, coming from behind the door.

Then, the iron door slowly opened outward.

Somlai took a few steps back and signaled the others to retreat to a safe area.

Lacey frowned, "This sound is really harsh, Somley, your property management department has so much money, why can't you use better protective measures?"

"Better?" Somley sneered and said, "This is an iron gate specially hired by the former director. The internal name is 'Prism'."

"Lacey, as the captain of the Investigation Department, you must not lack common sense."

"You say I have no common sense?" Lacey narrowed her eyes.

"Ahem, no? I mean, the protective runes on this iron door are very powerful. It's a kind of rune array called a prism. Look over there,"

Somley quickly pointed to the top of his head, "Those are the lines of the magic circle, and all the nodes are inside this iron gate."

Wei En looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough he saw some faint black lines on the ceiling, which were more complicated than the sacrifice ceremony of the Despair Sect that he had seen before.

It is densely packed and organized, and at the same time, all the lines are connected to the iron door.

As the iron door opens, there are two obvious nodes inside, with some gems inlaid on them.

At the same time, there are still some exposed mechanical gears rotating inside the iron door.

Wayne looked at those gears and rune nodes, the perfect combination of machinery and runes?

It seems that the supernatural beings in this world are very open-minded and full of ideas.

"What does this 'prism' array do?"

Somle said proudly: "'Prism' has two main effects. One is that it can rebound attacks, and the other is that when encountering a major situation, it can protect the things inside in a special space and not be affected by the outside world."

Hearing this, Marco said thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard of this magic circle somewhere. It is said that it was widely used in some secret laboratories in the last era."

"Marco, you still know the goods." Somley glanced at him approvingly, and then looked at Lacey: "Do you understand, Captain Lacey?"

Lacey stretched out his hand to summon the two-handed axe, and looked at him eagerly, "Is it very powerful?"

"Say you don't often...you can go in, just like I said, don't touch it casually."

Somley quickly entered the treasure room and knew to use violence. Couldn't the secret investigator find some normal-minded people to come in?

Lacey pouted and walked in, followed by Wayne and Marco.

As several people entered, the airtight collection room seemed to come alive, and the gas lamps were lit one by one, turning the entire space into a bright orange.

"Welcome to the treasure room."

Somley seemed to be a different person, bowing and beckoning gracefully, like a well-behaved butler.

But the few people ignored him, they were all attracted by the dazzling, fantastic and strange light in front of them.

I saw that this room, which was only about the size of a football field, was divided into several areas of equal size.

A complex and delicate defensive circle is drawn on the floor.Strange runes and geometric figures are woven together to form one protective shield after another.

The most conspicuous thing is the set of alchemy equipment placed in the middle.

The alchemy furnace with a height of half a person was placed on an oak base, and the body of the furnace was inlaid with dense runes, circle after circle like an erected compass.

Next to the alchemy furnace, there are such things as crucibles, workbenches, grinding instruments, and measuring equipment.

On the display shelf on the left, there are various books and parchment scrolls, which are very similar to the era relic of the Eternal Life Society.

These relics that have experienced the change of eras, from time to time, some strange-shaped things protrude from the rune circle, or white bone claws, or strange faces.

There are bottles and jars around, and from the labels on the bottles, it can be seen that these are all kinds of rare potions, such as invisibility potions, berserk potions, and dawn brilliance potions.

The area on the right is larger, and dozens of weird-shaped armors and weapons and equipment are displayed there.

Among them is a staff that is as long as an arm, made of white bones, and placed alone in a rune circle.

In addition to these era relics, equipment and strange props and materials, there are also some steam mechanical creations in the collection room.

A mechanical cannon made of copper gears and mechanical parts, dozens of mechanical puppets, and some mechanical weapons similar to muskets.

The entire collection room perfectly integrates rune arrays and steam machinery, presenting a weird beauty.

"How's it going? Are you shocked?"

Somlei held his head high and walked in front of the crowd to block their sight, "There are a lot of things, but according to the rules, you can only choose three common items or one precious item."

Wei En came back to his senses and asked humbly, "Which ones are common? Which ones are precious?"

"It's very simple. It is a precious item that is stored alone."

Somley was very satisfied with their expressions, or in other words, every time people walked into the collection room, they would show such unfamiliar expressions.

"Did you see that bone staff? It is a precious item, an ancient staff preserved from the Third Age - the Touch of the Dead."

As he said that, Somley looked at him with mischief, "But it's not something a rookie like you can handle..."

boom!
Lacey punched him on the head, "It's useless to talk less, hurry up and help him find something he can use."

Somley covered his head and glared at her, "Lacey, did no one tell you to be more polite when asking for help?"

"Have it?"

Lacey clenched her fists, "I only know that anyone who is uncomfortable will be smashed, whether it's a human or a mutant."

When this punch hits, it's really... the whole body is transparent.

Marco laughed and helped him up, "Somley, according to my experience, it's better to work honestly at this time, what do you think?"

"I can't tell, will you agree?"

Somle threw away his hand angrily and looked at Wei En with a cold face, "Good luck boy, what is your extraordinary profession?"

Wei En hesitated for a moment, but replied honestly: "Wizard."

"wizard?"

The three of them looked at him in surprise, and Lacey frowned slightly: "You said that extraordinary profession was a wizard? Is it a school of wizards, or a family?"

"...It's all considered."

Wei En rubbed his nose, and said in a low voice following this train of thought: "Our Loft family had a wizard who returned from the Ghost School two generations ago."

Originally, I wanted to hide it for a while longer, at least after he learned how to make potions and made some money.

It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the change...
