The sword is like thunder, moving forward without hesitation!

boom! !

The air waves rolled, and it turned out that the sword tip, which was wrapped in a large amount of magic power, pierced straight through the center of the automatic defense device!

In an instant, red lightning went wild, causing the temperature of the tunnel to rise instantly!

Bang!

The heavy sound of the automatic defense device falling seemed to indicate the end of the battle.

But Li Ye did not dare to relax his vigilance at all. He stared at the dull automatic defense device and whispered, "Mr. Holmes, what is the possibility of this guy's curse being leaked?"

"It's Zero, Mr. Li Ye. This type of curse is achieved by engraving runes. It's not about storing curses and then releasing them. Unless the magic circuit goes berserk and causes rune overload, normally the curse won't leak. This is common sense."

Holmes laughed.

After getting Holmes' answer, Li Ye finally felt relieved.

Nitocris also finished unfolding the Book of the Dark Mirror, and the eerie magic that lingered around her disappeared.

"Are you trying to get Pharaoh to fight for you? You rude bastard!"

Nitocris glared at Li Ye.

"This is all King Osmandis's mission—"

Li Ye has found the best way to communicate with Nitocris, and when in doubt, he brings up Osmandis.

“Disrespectful person!!”

Following Nitocris's angry shout, Li Ye pushed open the door.

Although it was very heavy, it was pushed open by brute force.

"It's not locked, and there's no corresponding mechanism—"

As he opened the door, Li Ye felt a heat wave accompanied by a strange smell coming towards him.

"This is not something that should be seen in this era, Mr. Holmes."

The door opened, and Li Ye couldn't help laughing when he saw the scene inside.

Behind the door was a modern room filled with daily necessities and alchemical materials.

They were basically some very common objects, completely different from the forbidden weapons that Li Ye had imagined.

However, it was also within Li Ye's expectations. According to Holmes, the weapons manufactured by the Atlas Institute were basically sealed up, and it was impossible for them to be placed in such a place.

There are no protections in place yet.

"Yes, Mr. Li Ye, this is indeed not something that exists in this era, but it seems that Mr. Li Ye is also very familiar with it——"

Holmes walked beside Li Ye with a smile on his face.

When a servant is summoned, he will be given knowledge so that he can better adapt to the current era, but Li Ye is not a servant, and as a living person, he should not know this information.

'Tsk——'

Li Ye smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Holmes, I know these things are not strange. You can cross the singularity and come here. There are also people who can do similar things."

Holmes paused and did not follow Li Ye into the room. Instead, he stood outside the door and looked at Li Ye's back.

After successfully entering the room, Li Ye looked around and turned to look at Holmes outside the door: "Mr. Holmes, do you have anything to ask?"

Chapter 27 Heart to Heart

"I'm just surprised that Mr. Li Ye's situation is much more complicated than I thought—"

Holmes shook his head and laughed, then walked into the room.

"That is quite complicated. Mr. Holmes is interested in it?"

The room was not big, and Li Ye quickly walked around it.

"If Mr. Li Ye wants to talk to me, I'm happy to listen."

"Before that, let's take a look around this room. Mr. Holmes, do you see anything special about this room?"

Li Ye did not continue the conversation, but abruptly changed the subject.

"This doesn't look like a workshop, but just an ordinary room. What did Mr. Li Ye find out about it?"

Holmes, who came in last, looked at Li Ye's busy back, but he was not in a hurry to search the room.

"Yes, yes—"

Li Ye, with his back to Holmes, picked up a notebook.

"2017—"

Li Ye slowly read out the time recorded in the notebook. It was a long time of 745 years from now, a time so far away that it was unreachable.

"Mr. Holmes, what do you think of the year 2017?"

Li Ye turned around and leaned against the wall, throwing the notebook to Holmes.

"2017 is the year when the Human Burning occurred. It seems that this Atlas Courtyard was operating normally from BC to 2017, and it drifted to this singularity after the Human Burning."

Holmes quickly finished reading the notebook and spoke slowly, holding his pipe.

"It's 2017, Mr. Holmes, do you know Chaldea?"

Li Ye lamented the distance of time and said casually: "The organization that guarantees the survival of humanity, Chaldea, is an organization that is saving humanity. They came here in 2017, right?"

Now that they had arrived at Atlas Court, Li Ye's last reservations about Holmes disappeared.

During this period of time together, Li Ye confirmed that Holmes was indeed in poor condition and unable to form combat power.

From Li Ye's current perspective, the weak Holmes is far from being Li Ye's opponent, both in strength and speed. Moreover, as long as he uses the Death Eyes, Holmes will definitely die in his hands.

'The advantage is mine! '

With this progress, Li Ye felt that he needed to build a good relationship with Sherlock Holmes. After all, the brain is really strong.

Before Chaldea arrives, strengthen yourself as much as possible.

No matter what the means.

"Mr. Li Ye, have you heard about Chaldea? It seems you want to talk to me?"

Holmes raised his pipe with a smile, his eyes deep.

With Holmes' wisdom, it is not difficult to see that Li Ye wants to open his heart.

"Of course, but I still hope that Mr. Holmes can treat me like he treated Chaldea. After all, our positions are similar. We are both for the salvation of mankind and for the resolution of this human incineration."

Li Ye covered his chest with his hands, looking sincere. His sincere tone made Holmes smile even more.

"How much does Mr. Liye know about me and Chaldea?"

"Not much, just a little bit—"

Li Ye pinched his index thumb and second finger and looked at Holmes with a smile.

"For example, which singularity is Chaldea in now? Since Mr. Holmes has come here, they should have solved the singularity in London."

"In other words, the Demon Pillar that appeared in London has been eliminated by Chaldea!"

Since he had decided to have a good relationship with Holmes, Li Ye had no choice but to be open with him and let Holmes determine his position.

Only when your position is determined can you open up to each other.

"......."

Holmes did not speak, but bit his pipe and raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

Li Ye knew so much information, it was abnormal.

"So - Mr. Li Ye, how much do you know about the Magic King? If you are like this, you should know a lot about the Magic King."

After a moment's silence, Holmes spoke slowly.

"The Magic King - Solomon, the king who burns away human reason. Mr. Holmes, I can't provide you with any information about this king. I have never met the Magic King directly, so it will not be of any use to your reasoning."

Li Ye shook his head: "Why not wait until Chaldea arrives and Mr. Holmes confirms the information about the Magic King——"

"What are you talking about behind Pharaoh's back?"

Just then, a discordant voice interrupted the atmosphere between the two.

Nitocris tilted her head and looked at Li Ye and Holmes. After a while, the content of their conversation became something she could not understand.

"Ms. Nitocris, you can ask King Osmandis later. After all, he has his own reasons for not giving you the relevant knowledge."

Li Ye smiled.

The topic was interrupted, and Li Ye didn't say much, letting Holmes think alone for a while.

After spending some time to confirm that there was no other information, Li Ye and others left the room.

Ten minutes later——

Li Ye couldn't help scratching his head when he encountered a fork in the road again: "After moving forward, the way we came from will change. There are two roads forward, but there will be three roads backward.

It's just like a maze. Is this a maze designed specifically for uninvited outsiders like us? Mr. Holmes."

"Yes, this maze-like building is made up of structures that can make outsiders get lost. It is easy to enter but difficult to get out."

Holmes nodded, confirming Li Ye's doubts.

Nitocris at the side could not help but wonder: "With this structure, it can't prevent thieves from entering, right?"

Holmes lit his pipe and took a deep puff: "Because they are more afraid of insiders going out than outsiders coming in.

Atlas Academy is an academy for geniuses, and each of them is immersed in research in their own independent workshops.

There are no taboos here, no matter what kind of inhumane works you make, no one will blame you. "

“But there is only one condition, you must not take the works here outside—

This is also the great principle of the Atlas Academy, a principle that has been strictly adhered to for the past two thousand years; if there are any exceptions, they are only the seven contracts made when the Atlas Academy was first established. "

"Only for those who hold a contract, the Atlas Institute will promise to make an exception and help.

This must be a headache for the deans of all generations. After all, it was a contract signed by their ancestors without authorization. As of 2000, four contracts have been recovered, but the whereabouts of the other three contracts are still unknown. "

"How far can this contract reach?"

Li Ye asked, pinching his chin.

"All of this is the limit of what Atlas Academy can do—"

Holmes' light words lingered in Li Ye's heart for a long time.

"Now that the people are gone, this contract won't be of much use, right? Or can they avoid being burned by human reason?"

After being attracted by the contract, Li Ye suddenly realized that Atlas Academy was now deserted and even the contract would be of no use.

"Maybe it will come in handy in the future." Holmes looked at Li Ye meaningfully.

The sudden sound of the alarm interrupted Holmes, who smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that the automatic defense device has been accidentally triggered again."

"This time it's easy to solve—"

Li Ye turned his head and glanced at the automatic defense device that rushed out from the depths. It was exactly the same model as the one he first encountered.

After quickly disposing of the automatic defense device, Li Ye and others finally escaped from the intricate tunnel.

A huge door appeared before my eyes.

When the door opens——

In this Alchemy Academy which was located at an unknown depth underground, Li Ye saw the sky again.

The obelisk stands tall under the majestic blue sky.

Pseudo-spirit calculator Hermes!

Chapter 28: Triobelisk Hermes Part

A magnificent building that looked like an underground city appeared in front of Li Ye and others.

The huge obelisk guarded by countless square bodies is engraved with a large number of obscure inscriptions, and strange fluctuations flow through it from time to time.
