From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 82: The Portal That Leads Away (Second Edition)

After collecting the materials, everyone began to work on the next step.

Geralt scanned the room with his Demon Hunter senses and said to Ran, “My Demon Hunter senses tell me there is something wrong with this altar, but I don’t know what the problem is. Maybe this is not the way to the lab, shall we take a look? ”

Lane had been patiently waiting for the two to squeeze the residual value of the gargoyle, and then pointed to the altar and said: “Look at the shape of that altar, does it look like this gargoyle’s feet?” ”

Geralt was stunned, this was a direction he had never thought of. After all, gargoyle’s feet were not magical materials, and he never thought that this thing could do anything.

Who in a normal person would use a gargoyle’s foot as a mechanism?

He crouched down and tried to break the gargoyle’s foot, which had lost its magical connection and was easily removed.

Sure enough, there are organs!

Geralt looked at Lan with a complicated expression, and suddenly said: “I suddenly have a feeling that you are familiar with this ruin. You prepared the bomb in advance before you set out, specially asked me to make the Moon Dust and the Devil Blocking Gold bomb, and instructed the soldiers to familiarize themselves with a variety of weapons; After entering this ruin, I also know the institutions of some key places.

But you seem to be visiting this place for the first time, and strangeness and familiarity appear in you at the same time. It makes me feel awkward. ”

Should I sigh that I am worthy of being a white wolf? What a keen insight.

Rann shrugged, he couldn’t say that he had brushed this place in a previous life.

“I have my information channels, and it seems that the quality of the information I receive is very high. And wouldn’t it be easier to explore the ruins? ”

It’s nice to explore the ruins with ease. Jellote nodded, did not ask any more questions, and turned to place the gargoyle’s foot on the altar.

The sound of reeds and stones rubbing that had been heard many times today sounded, and the altar slowly descended, and then the wind began to blow in the house.

Everyone looked around, and saw that in front, back, left and right, including the second floor of the hall, nearly ten portals suddenly appeared at the same time.

Unlike the golden-bordered portals that the druids had temporarily opened before, these portals emitted a faint blue light and a pitch-black center.

If you look from this side alone, it is impossible to perceive the situation on the other side of the portal.

Geralt’s face was embarrassed, and he just looked at these portals, and there seemed to be a sense of dizziness in his brain:

“Lan, did your information channel explain this situation? ”

The druids did not have any bad feelings about these portals, but instead exclaimed with amazement: “How much magic power is needed to maintain these.” Professor Thomas Moru deserves his reputation! ”

Lan is also familiar with this scene, after all, this is the decryption level that embarrassed him for a long time. It’s a pity that the complexity of this level is not something he can fully remember, and he only has a rough idea of how to clear the level in his mind:

“The portal on the first floor connects to the second floor, and the portal on the second floor only has one that can connect to our destination, Professor Moru’s laboratory. Other portals teleport people back to the first floor. ”

Listening to Lan’s story, the demon hunter’s brows furrowed. How many times does this have to go through the portal?

“But there are a lot of us, just try them one by one – Geralt can rest a little and be fine – everyone will choose different portals to enter later.” Whoever gets to the lab first immediately comes back and brings the others in, understand? ”

“Yes! ”

Everyone quickly dispersed, each choosing a portal and entering.

Lane took a deep breath, looked at the deep darkness in front of him that emitted blue light, closed his eyes and crashed in.

After a brief moment of vertigo, Rann opened his eyes.

As far as the eye can see, there is a brightly lit room.

He was surprised because what he saw was completely different from what he had imagined.

The room was large, and near Rann there was a broken wooden table with some experimental equipment that Rann could not understand. Leaning against the wall stood a wizard-like human statue, and there were several fragments of statues on the ground, it seemed that their owners did not care about them.

There is an upward staircase on the left and right sides of the room, and a further down staircase when you look ahead, and it is clear that this room has more than one floor.

This is…… Thomas Moru’s lab, so easy to get in?

Lan was surprised, in theory, shouldn’t it be some portal on the second floor that connects here, how can it be directly here?

And then, Lane was even more surprised, because he faintly seemed to hear the neighing of the black wind.

…………

Towcent, capital Bowland, at night.

The lonely moon hangs high and the evening breeze is piercing. From time to time, one or two crows pass in mid-air, croaking and annoying.

Tombstones stand in the cemetery, and weeds that cannot be removed no matter how much care grows on the side, and the bouquets that the family offers during the day have long been crushed into petals, and the tribute has long been divided among small beasts and birds.

There is a large tree in the center of the cemetery, and I don’t know if the geographical location makes it look particularly strong and coiled.

House and Ace rested against the tree, and they had just checked the tombstones in most of the cemetery and came here to rest. The four soldiers scattered to identify the names on the remaining tombstones one by one.

Diikon Paul, Quinn Masson, Edson Jafari… Alone, there is no target of this mission – Thomas Moru.

Ace muttered, “You say, is it possible… Lord Count is wrong? ”

House rolled his eyes and shot back: “I think you are wrong with this idea, there are still some here that have not been checked, take a break and get up and continue.” ”

Ace pointed to the soldiers who were busy in the moonlight: “Aren’t there still them?” ”

House got up and said, “I don’t worry about them, only after I have seen them with my own eyes can I be sure that there is no omission.” ”

Ace couldn’t stand the stubbornness of his best friend, and followed with a pout.

After working for another half an hour, the moonlight became brighter and brighter as time passed, but the hearts of the two gradually sank.

All the tombstones have been checked.

“This is an urban cemetery, and if it doesn’t exist here, it’s probably a mass grave outside the city.” Ace sighed, “Isn’t that Thomas Moru a warlock?” Can a person who is almost as honorable as Mossack’s adviser find a random place to bury himself? ”

House shook his head: “Not sure.” Didn’t the druids say that there were not even graves, they were all directly ‘back to nature’, and it was normal for a few warlocks to have strange tempers. ”

“Weird doesn’t spoil your corpse so much, right? Ace was indignant: “If you go to check the mass grave, it is not a matter of one day or two.” ”
