From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 79: Keep the diary, don’t let people see it casually

After a small encounter, everyone reassessed their situation: several shields were injured, people fell a little dumbfounded, and everything else was fine.

Geralt scanned the room with his demon hunter senses. Since there is a magical mechanism, there must be something wrong with this room.

Suddenly, the Demon Hunter’s gaze turned behind the statue, and in his field of vision, there was a hazy light attached to the wall there.

He walked over and raised his hand to slap [Alpha Seal]!

Then the entire wall shattered, and there was a hole in the back.

Everyone stepped forward to observe, and saw another simple passage behind the wall, which looked like the style was completely different from the ancient elf-style building they had seen before.

It is clear that the builders of this passage built their own secret laboratory based on this ruin. The gold and silver outside were even deliberately placed just to hide the real treasure inside.

Only now have they really seen the tip of the iceberg of Thomas Moru’s secret laboratory.

Following the tunnel, the group quickly came to the end. I saw a huge stone ball two feet tall embedded in the bend in front, and a broken skeleton was sandwiched between the stone ball and the wall.

“Someone doesn’t seem to have escaped the trap.” ”

Obviously, the stone ball rolled from the other side of the passage, just smashing the tomb robber into this wall.

Lan looked into the passage, there seemed to be several broken bones and pieces of cloth in the darkness, and this stone ball seemed to have achieved great results and crushed many people.

Geralt stepped forward to search the body and found a piece of parchment, which turned out to be very well preserved.

Lane took the parchment and began to read it:

“…… Since suspicious people started to haunt the perimeter of my lab, I had to take more security measures. I think they should just be ordinary criminals, looking for valuable things to steal, and have no interest in my research, but it’s better to be cautious. ”

[Handwriting unlegible]

In addition, I decided to follow the advice of old engineers and use simple mechanics to protect the laboratory. In one of the rooms leading to the laboratory corridor, I installed a mechanism to lock and unlock the door, which was operated by pressing four protruding stones high up in the wall.

I can open the lock with simple magic, but the average thief faces a twofold challenge: first I have to notice the four stones, deduce the function of the stones, and then try to press the stones…

[The handwriting is illegible]”

The parchment appears to be an experimental diary, and large chunks of pen and ink have become illegible due to time and impropriety, but the only remaining text on it is also valuable to Rann and them.

The name of the owner of this diary is already on the horizon – Thomas Moru!

The druids sighed: “It’s just a group of tomb thieves, they really found Professor Moru’s magic laboratory.” It’s a pity that there are lives in and out of the way. ”

Lan said to Geralt: “Then it’s simple now, follow these grave robbers and walk through the place where you will definitely find the secret laboratory.” ”

With Geralt’s demon hunter senses, everyone followed the direction of the tomb robber’s escape and searched backwards, and soon reached the edge of a huge underground canyon.

At this time, there was no trace of the ruins of the elven palace around, and it turned into the simple architectural style of a traditional research warlock.

The rock walls on both sides are simply carved out with a bold method, and the road is very crowded, even the two people passing side by side are very reluctant, and if you are not careful, you may be transferred to the canyon below.

There is a little traces of construction on each side of the canyon, and there is a small section of the remains of a bridge on each side, apparently the two sides could have been unobstructed before.

Geralt pointed to a small rope tied to a pillar on the edge of the canyon and said, “These grave robbers are not the same entrance as us, they slid along the rope from the other side and established a small stronghold here. ”

There are traces of human life on the ground, including food that has almost merged with dust, braziers and torches that cannot be lit, and temporary fortifications that are completely inconsistent with the surrounding architectural style.

Geralt pointed to his eyes: “And the purpose of their temporary camp here is for this, this is a door.” ”

Geralt pointed to the wall in front of him, which contained a small “wall” of brick sunken in.

If it weren’t for the hints of the demon hunter’s senses, normal people wouldn’t think it was a door.

The druid stepped forward to observe and commented: “It is indeed the engineering architectural style hundreds of years ago, and it should be right here.” ”

Schild asked, “So how do we get in?” Do you want to pile up the remaining bombs and blow them up? ”

The sword attendant’s face flashed with excitement, and after the battle of the water ghost, he seemed to have a strong interest in the alchemy bomb. Although he said that this method would damage the way of the knight against the enemy, in fact, he tried in every possible way to find an occasion where he could blast.

Lan slapped Swarde’s head and reprimanded angrily: “We are here on the edge of the underground canyon, the devil knows if a large-scale explosion will trigger a chain reaction such as a collapse, don’t bomb without my order!” ”

Then, regardless of the attendant who rubbed his head and nodded yes, Lane pulled out the parchment that Geralt had before and scanned the surroundings.

This is the scene he experienced in the game in his previous life. His memory of how many monsters he encountered and how many treasures he found may be blurred.

After all, no matter how strong the monster is, as long as there is a blood bar, it can always be cut off with a knife in the game; No matter how precious the treasure is, it is just exchanged for coins, into a string of numbers in a backpack. These are simply not worth taking Ran’s precious memories.

What really sticks in my mind is the cumbersome maze decryption and escape room process. For example, the one in front of him originally embarrassed Lan for more than half an hour.

At one point, he thought that he would have to go to the opposite side of the canyon to find the laboratory, instead of opening this damn door in front of him!

“Isn’t this part of Professor Moru’s diary? Rann unfolded the parchment so that everyone could see “one of the rooms in the hallway of the laboratory, with a mechanism for locking and unlocking the door, operated by pressing four protruding stones high up in the wall.” ”

Lane looked around again, and everyone followed his gaze.

Geralt hadn’t thought that this was the environment described in the diary. After he finally connected the contents of the diary with his surroundings and consciously searched for “protruding stones”, four places on the rock wall suddenly flashed red in his demon hunter’s senses.

“Found it! ”
