Chapter 59 The master is gone (2)(1/2)
The flame lasted for almost a minute before slowly extinguishing. The air was filled with a smell and smoke similar to that produced by burning rubber. The wall was blackened, leaving large radial traces. The items placed on the table were
Many alchemical instruments were damaged and were in a mess.
Thanks to the fact that most of the things around are made of metal, otherwise it might cause a fire.
Alton carefully took two steps closer, picked up the short knife that originally belonged to the little maid on the ground, and asked tentatively with lingering fear:
"Are you dead?"
"It should be about the same."
Pei Renli pointed to the dark blue liquid seeping out from the ground:
"That's magic transmission fluid. The internal pipelines melted due to heat, causing the liquid to overflow."
Hearing what the expert said, the other three people breathed a sigh of relief.
Vondar braced himself with a mace:
"I really didn't expect it to be a Taiwanese puppet."
Gary echoed:
"The golems in school are completely different from it."
Due to its relatively small size, the golem can undertake delicate tasks that the golem cannot handle. If you talk to it, it can only answer you some words or sentences set in advance, and it does not have the ability to think, similar to the beginning.
The development of artificial intelligence.
There are many golems in the school library. If there are no new orders, they will only act according to the set pattern and be responsible for maintaining and organizing the books.
But this devil is different. It has a certain degree of thinking ability. For example, when the battle just started, it tried to attack Perrenli twice instead of attacking Alton and Vondar who were closest to it. This was because it judged that Perrenli
The threat is greater and needs to be eliminated first.
Although this kind of thinking ability is still very rudimentary, it is still far behind the dolls in the school library.
In addition, because it is a machine, it can easily perform actions that living things cannot do due to its skeletal joints. It can fly with exaggerated flexibility, and its combat effectiveness far exceeds the standard model in the school.
If you think about it carefully, the place they are in is a secret research institute that studies golems, and the essences of golems and golems are the same, so it is normal for such strange golems to appear.
Pei Renli took a few steps closer, took off the water bag and poured it onto the remaining hot metal skin and frame. A large amount of steam mixed with a stronger burnt smell rose up.
Looking at it this way, it really looks like a Terminator.
The other three heard him muttering, "I hope it hasn't been burned," and then saw him pointing to the location under the three small holes made with the scorching ray and saying:
"Cut it from here. Generally, the alchemy core is in the chest. That is the most valuable trophy."
As soon as they heard about the alchemy core, the keyword 'thousand three hundred gold coins' immediately came to the minds of the three of them, and Alton and Gary, who were immediately overjoyed, hurriedly came closer.
"Be careful. It's full of pipelines. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the core. I won't repair it if it's damaged."
Alton was holding the short knife that originally belonged to the maid golem and saw Pei Renli walking to the side:
"Why are you going? Come here and give us guidance. We have never dismantled the puppets."
"I haven't dismantled it before. Anyway, just be careful. I have to take a rest first."
As he spoke, he picked up a chair and sat down on it.
Most of Pei Renli's magic power was used in the door-sealing spell, and he used spells continuously when fighting the maid golem. I'm afraid he could only use the remaining magic power to use a small magic-level spell like the light spell.
A mage without magic power is like galgame of all ages, he has not a drop left now.
Without the ability to use spells and close combat, Pei Renli can now bully the goblins or not be in a hurry when being attacked at close range.
After all, he had only started training for less than a month, and this kind of result was all forced by himself, which is already quite good.
In terms of magic power, his talent is not particularly outstanding, and he does not have inexhaustible magic power. To be precise, the problem of insufficient magic power troubles almost all mages.
Because magic power is limited, the most basic operation of a mage is to know how to count the magic power and cast spells to ensure that each spell is used exactly where it should be used.
What's more, Pei Renli's current level is still very low, that is, the blue bar is not long enough, and the battery life is inevitably insufficient.
Currently, there is no potion that can quickly restore magic power. Apart from rest, the only way is to use magic crystals. However, Pei Renli is too poor to afford such high-priced non-renewable consumables.
But as mentioned just now, the problem of insufficient magic power exists widely, and mages who are limited by this will of course find ways.
The solution is the scroll.
It is very convenient to pick up and use at any time, and the magic power required to activate the scroll is negligible.
Perrenli thought that this adventure should be able to earn a lot of shiny gold coins. When he got the money, he planned to let Ravna use the teleportation ability to take him to Muxing City, buy some special ink and parchment for making scrolls, and study it later.
.
Carrying a bunch of commonly used spell scrolls on your body can greatly increase your battery life.
But that was a matter for the future. Pei Renli thought about it for a moment, then took out the golem assembly drawings he had found earlier and looked through them. His brows furrowed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although the Elvish language on the drawings can be easily understood, it does not mean that it can be understood.
It's like the difference between being able to write and being able to write a paper. I know every word, but when put together, the meaning is unclear.
Pei Renli did not have a background in mechanical design or other related majors. To him, the blueprint of the Golem was like reading a comic. He tried his best to use the lines and graphics above to imagine what this part was originally used for.
It’s not enough if you don’t read it, and others won’t be able to understand it even more...
Seeing that everyone else was busy, Vondar shrugged and continued the adventurer's favorite job, which was searching.
Take out the jars containing potentially valuable metal powder and the smelted metal ingots, and pack them away when you go out.
"I dug it out, let's see if it can still be used!"
Peri Renli put down the drawing and saw Alton holding up a square metal object with many translucent hoses inserted into it.
The size is close to that of a Rubik's Cube, and it seems to be made of brass. A large number of fine magic texts and magic circles can be faintly seen on the flame-blackened surface.
This is the core of alchemy.
He took it and held it in his hand, injecting a small amount of magic into the core. Immediately, he saw that the dim magic light slowly lit up along every fine line on the surface of the core.
"No problem, the core is intact."
Alton happily snatched it back, quickly wiped off the black marks on it with his clothes, and stuffed it into Gary's backpack. Because of his strong strength and heavy load, everyone decided that Gary would carry all the loot.
However, although the core is intact, there are still some problems.
Pei Renli doubted whether using this core to make a golem would kill the owner with a sword when it was activated. This should be because there was something wrong with the artificial soul part of the core.
It is not impossible to repair it, but it is an impossible task for Pei Renli, who has just come into contact with alchemy and is still making the simplest potion. I hope this flaw will not affect its selling price.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Everyone rested on the spot for about ten minutes. Pei Renli felt that he should have recovered some magic power, but it was still not enough to support the battle.
In fact, Von Dahl's condition may not be much better than him, but as a priest, Von Dahl can't cast spells and still go up to melee, while Pei Renli obviously can't.
Taking into account the physical consumption, the team basically no longer has the ability to continue taking risks.
In this case, it is very dangerous to continue exploring in depth, not to mention that they have found enough loot. Carrying more will affect their actions.
So everyone's current goal has changed from finding the treasure to finding a way out.
Rubbing his temples, Pei Renli put down the golem assembly drawing. He had been looking at it for a long time and now he had just finished reading the head, and the structure there was the simplest on the golem...
"Look here, I've found a door."
Alton pointed to a heavy shelf and said:
"In the back, it was deliberately hidden."
He folded the drawings and stuffed them back into his backpack, and Pei Renli walked over with the others.
The illumination from the lighting technique shines through the gaps in the shelves, and the wall behind the shelves can be seen slightly reflecting the light of metal.
"There is a layer of paint on it that is the same color as the wall, but some of it has peeled off. There may be an entrance or exit. Please help push it away."
The hard work had to be left to Gary and Von Dahl. As soon as they heard they could go out, they worked together to move the shelves aside.
After the cover was lost, everyone immediately saw the unusual details of this door.
At present, all the doors they have found in this secret institute are unlocked, but this door is different. Not only is it blocked with a finger-thick metal bolt, but there is also a row of locks hanging on the edge of the door panel. It feels like
was tightly blocked.
"It's not like there are entrances and exits..."
Alton pressed himself against the door panel and listened carefully to what was going on behind him:
"But I didn't hear anything unusual."
He turned around and looked at the others:
"Do you want to open it? Those locks are not secret locks. It only takes a few seconds for me to open them."
Logically speaking, a door with this style of painting should not be opened casually, but everyone has no other way out.
So the others nodded and raised their weapons to indicate they were ready.
Alton really wasn't bragging. He took the tool and opened a row of locks hanging on the door panel at a speed of about two to three seconds. It is estimated that on earth, he is one of the legendary people who can open a community with a pack of instant noodles.
God man.
