Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 67

If we say that the room layout of the middle-level knights on the sixth floor in Shandong is like a hotel suite in Rand’s hometown; The floor is paved and looks like a pigsty, and the air in the whole house is also very turbid.

This smell brought back terrible memories for Rand. What he admires most now is that the ascetic monk Wright is willing to live on the second floor all the time, eating and living with many salt workers.

Rand went down to the first floor of the cave after looking at two rooms at random. After listening to Gandalf's knowledge of the leylines, he wanted to know how the energy in the leylines was converted into heat in the salt-boiling workshop.

"This is the magic furnace. This furnace has been here for a long time. It was not activated before Master Gandalf came. After he came, it took several months of maintenance before it was activated again."

In a medium-sized room on the first floor of the cave, Rand saw his extremely curious magic furnace.

The room where this magic furnace is located is very special. There is a stone door in the room. The stone door can be opened automatically through magic. After entering the room, you can find that the walls, roof and ground in the whole room are very smooth.

Except for a 6-meter-high cylindrical stove with one end extending into the ground, the rest of the room is only a magic circle emitting blue light. The magic circle is centered on the stove and extends from the ground to the surrounding walls. Above, even the roof is a format circle.

"You got this stove running again? That's amazing!"

"This stove is not a human creation, and I could only restore a small part of its functions at that time. The current state of this stove is the result of the people from the Yantie Division coming to repair it four years ago."

"Is this the furnace that connects the leylines and all the rooms in the cave?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that. In addition to the leylines and rooms, this stove should be connected to more facilities, but the only ones that can be used now are the workshop and the rooms in the cave."

"It's amazing," Lante said, but he was thinking in his heart, how did the human race be driven out of the Galloping Horse Plain by the orcs?Could it be that they came here in a hairy mecha?

There are not only workshops on the first and second floors, but also many natural caves as warehouses for the entire salt mine. According to Rand's request, Albert and Makoto led people to check the value and value of several large caves according to Laniya's list Useful goods.

According to Albert's preliminary search, there are dozens of natural caverns in the cave, and the inventory ranges from the salt cauldron, various tools, fuel, rune boards, the leather and bones of monsters, to almost inedible cured meat. Everything you need.

Wendy and Albert even found several hidden rooms under the joint search. These rooms are like magic furnace rooms. The stone door is integrated with the stone wall of the cave, and can only be opened by using magic.

After entering these rooms, you can see that there are magic circles glowing with dim light in the room. According to Albert, these magic circles should all play a role in maintaining space stability and delaying the loss of magic power.

There are many magic-sealing boxes in the room. These magic-sealing boxes are hundreds of years old, and they are basically rotten. After opening, two boxes are magic crystals that have been turned into powder a long time ago. The four boxes contain nothing. Brand-new enchanted armor and enchanted weapons that do not respond to magic power. These armors and weapons should have been stored here by the human empire for emergencies on the plain.

These completely unused enchanted equipment not only have magic circles such as sharpness and solidity, but also can stimulate fixed moves or spells through fighting spirit or magic power. It can be said that it is more rare and valuable than magic pattern equipment.

However, these equipments have no magical response. According to Gandalf, they can only be smelted again, decomposed into various metals and then reprocessed into armor. The good news is that the magic metal of these equipments has not been lost. Today's 100 sets of equipment After more careful recasting, 90 sets of brand new equipment can be produced no matter what.

Lant saw that these hundred sets of armor and weapons were only worth one material now, because they were old and aging, and they couldn't even be used as ordinary armor, and felt very distressed.

Albert is very happy. These armors can be smelted in the future. Even if they can't be smelted, these are obviously brand-new armors from 300 years ago. There should be many nobles who want to buy them home as part of their family's display.

Of course, it is not completely useless, such as two boxes of gold coins, a total of 2 gold coins, this is the biggest gain for Rand since he went north.

The God Emperor is more than 1000 years old at this moment. All the coins have been minted according to the first version of the currency minted after the God Emperor ascended the throne for a whole 1000 years. Only some patterns are different. The Empire recognizes the legitimacy of all versions from the first coin minted in the 20th year of the Emperor to the 80th coin minted in recent years.

Therefore, the two boxes of gold coins found by Rand can be used and spent directly.

"If these gold coins are found by the Gray Goose Tribe," Albert stared straight at the gold coins

"How about it?"

"If they go south directly with these gold coins, the Earl will sell them 200 demon possessors without hesitation"

"Why is Earl Maned Wolf short of money?" Rand asked.

"More money than you think."

The two boxes of gold coins went directly into Rand's account. In any case, he planned to restore the Benma Kingdom, and it would not be shameful to reclaim the inheritance of the old country first.

Outside the last hidden room, Rand stopped in his tracks, not daring to go in rashly, because outside the door of the room, Rand saw a nameplate that said "Lounge Room" in human language but in the word Below, Rand actually saw the text of his hometown.

[Emergency Communication Room] This is what Rand saw, a text from his hometown that had been stopped decades before he was born.

Rant grabbed Pete who was about to walk in, "Mage Gandalf, I don't think there is any need to continue to maintain the magic power in these houses. Can you stop the magic furnace from supplying magic power to a few rooms?"

"Oh?" Gandalf was a little curious why Rand asked to disconnect the magic furnace before entering the room, "Of course, I will operate it."

Gandalf found a small square hole that was also hidden beside the door, similar to an electric box. From the outside, you can see that the hole is full of magic circles. There is a crystal in the center of the magic circle. The crystal looks very similar to Rand Found the crystals in several magic teaching scrolls in the Bull Tribe.

Gandalf unscrewed the crystal, and the circle in the cave lost its light.

Since there is no energy source, the stone door of the room can only be pushed open by intermediate knights. After entering the room, there is no light in the room, and only a guest room for rest can be seen, with wooden desks, mirrors, bookshelves, The bed, the chair, the arrangement of the bed was very similar to Lenia's room.

Rand was more careful about the other things in the room's search pen. In a corner of the room, Rand found a magic mirror, which was recognized by Alberto and used for communication.

This palm-sized one-handed mirror can monitor the situation in the entire room. The original magic crystal base in the mirror is removed and connected to the magic circle in the room, which means that the original magic energy in the room can automatically Powered by the magic mirror, another mirror can be used to monitor the situation in the room at any time.

Rand didn't know whether the so-called emergency communication used this mirror, but if the magic mirror was used, why build a separate room?

Soon, Rand's subordinates found several letters within a year. These letters were just blank paper. After Gandalf processed them with visualization magic, he could see some tasks sent from the Imperial Palace, most of which were The recipient must always pay attention to the movement of the salt mine and the gray goose tribe.

While Rand was reading the letter, Wendy found another hidden room in the room. When Wendy opened the room, Rand and everyone saw a stone room less than 4 square meters. The magic circle inside the stone room Still radiating.

"Don't go in, this room is not right." Rand vaguely felt that the so-called emergency communication room might refer to this small stone room.

"Ah?" Lante said it was too late, Wendy had already stepped into the stone room.

In the stone room, you can see 8 square mirrors on one wall. There is a stone table under the mirror wall, and the stone table is covered with a magic circle.

Afraid of Wendy's danger, Rand could only enter the stone room, but the layout inside the stone room is the layout of the hall of mirrors in the castles of the great nobles, which is very similar to the monitoring room in Rand's hometown. After Rand entered, except for the glowing magic circle , I can't tell what's wrong.

On the stone table, Rand found a letter. It was hard to imagine that the letter paper could be preserved so intact after hundreds of years.

Rand opened the letter and vaguely saw that it should be written by one of Rand's ancestors 400 years ago. The recipient was a person named Zhuoqin. The magic circle was full of light, the letter was suddenly ignited, and turned into ashes without life.
