"Here we are, the experimental area is ahead."
The long passage between one person and one machine was gradually thrown behind each other. Also being thrown behind at the same time were the increasingly rare voices between the two, which were all over the walls of the surrounding passages.
The traces of magic pipelines and circuits began to become more and more dense as time went by, and the hum of magic circulating in them gradually became more obvious. It drove away the unprovoked black shadows that appeared here from time to time.
, Kyle II, who was leading the way, finally stopped. The scanning ray used to observe the periphery finally moved towards Duan, who had been protected behind him, with the electronic synthesized sound that kept ringing in front of him.
Qing turned around: "Warning again - there are too many unknown dangers ahead. Visitor, you'd better leave first."
"This is the experimental area." The answer was a deep sigh belonging to Duan Qing: "After a lot of hard work, we finally reached this place... Hey, why did we get to this point?
, shouldn’t we have just made a clean break and left here?”
"I'm sorry, visitor, I can't meet all your requirements." As if he could hear Duan Qing's increasingly low voice at this time, Kyle II's square head slowly lowered towards him:
"After everything calms down, I will send you out as quickly as possible and in the best way."
"Don't make unnecessary guarantees. That magic teleportation area you call may be paralyzed now." Duan Qing shook his head and then pulled his emotions out of some strange direction.
: "When the time comes, I'll just hit my head on the ground and die, and I won't care about any other consequences... Well."
"Let me confirm again, you really haven't seen anyone with chains come to the depths of this ruins, have you?" His voice paused obviously, and when it sounded again, it was also full of doubts.
Ingredients: "Or a human being bound by chains?"
"99% of the first-level life forms passing through the upper area are within my surveillance range. Even if I don't find it in the end, I can still track his activity track or the corpse left here." He answered.
There was no emotion in Kyle II's voice: "Unless he broke into this underground core area using a method I don't know about - as far as I know, this is even more impossible."
"Okay, then our other guess may have to die here." Duan Qing threw out of his mind the situations related to Shi Ayun that he and Xue Ling Huan Bing had guessed, and his face was expressionless.
He curled his lips and said: "Anyway, a person who came here later may not know anything about everything that happened here... Let's go."
"I feel abnormal fluctuations." Duan Qing's steps that were about to lift were stopped behind the mechanical arm, and Kyle II's electronically synthesized voice echoed in the passage again: "Please follow me, keep the distance
No more than three leagues—"
boom.
As if encountering some difficulty, the magical mechanical creature's forward-stretched arm stopped in mid-air. The metal door that had been opened countless times under his own magic signal did not respond at this time.
Its movements, the cracks in the door that glowed with dim yellow light, and the light that reflected traces of magic didn't seem to have any reaction: "..."
"What's wrong?" His eyes moved back and forth between the gate in front and the back of Kyle II for a long time. Duan Qing asked in a low voice: "Did you encounter any unknown problems?"
"No, no problem."
Kyle II shook his head lightly and replied while keeping his arm raised and took two steps forward. The finger-shaped part stretched out in front of the arm was also pulled by Duan Qing.
The expression on his lips was deeply embedded in the gap of the closed door: "Please step back."
A creaking sound then sounded in front of the gray-robed magician, and the motionless magical creature then used powerful force to open the door in front of it: "Okay."
"Please come first, please come first." Duan Qing raised his hand subconsciously. Duan Qing's voice seemed to be trembling like the distorted metal door: "What if there is something inside?"
I can't bear this responsibility, so I'd better let you, the culprit—er, no, the manager go in first."
"I'm not a manager. Ever since my mission was replaced, everything here has nothing to do with me." There was an inexplicable fluctuation in his tone. Kyle II who answered him had already removed the glowing red metal.
The door was torn to both sides: "As for the managers themselves - as far as I know, the life span of humans like them is not even one-tenth of the life span of our magical weapons."
The hot breath gradually leaked out from the door it opened as the huge black figure disappeared, blocking all the words Duan Qing originally wanted to say next. He waved hard and was a little weak due to excessive weakness.
With his left arm, he extended his gaze forward with all his strength and looked into the door: "It seems that the situation is indeed what I thought. There is no living entity here."
"If you don't count the existence of those undead units."
Following the direction indicated by the magical creature at this time, Duan Qing finally distinguished the scene that was gradually emerging under the hot air in front of him. A ring-shaped device suspended by a huge ring also brought
With the roaring sound of crackling energy, it slowly rotates amidst the magical waves filled with countless transparent energy tubes that converge. The emerald green light spots representing the flow of energy are also connected to each other under the guidance of these energy flows.
Together, they condensed into the same ring-like flocculent shape along the direction guided by this huge device. The countless magic circuits and magic runes gathered around these energy pipelines also had a trembling sharpness at this time.
The sound floated on the surface of the huge ring-shaped pipeline, forming a sharp contrast with the dense black skeletons around it: "So——"
"So many undead."
The words he almost shouted were swallowed back by him. Duan Qing, who was choking on his neck, quickly pulled his weak steps behind Kyle II: "So they have been here for a long time?"
"The situation doesn't seem to be that simple." He shook his head and said this. The voice belonging to Kyle II also seemed much blurred due to the obstruction of his back and the agitation of the ring devices filling the vast hall: "They
The life energy contained now...is too low and unstable."
"Some are still growing."
After saying something that surprised Duan Qing, the body of the magic weapon slowly walked forward again. Duan Qing, who hurriedly followed behind him for protection, then calmed down his mind that was boiling for a moment and delivered it forward.
A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes: "So this is the refresh point we mentioned countless times before - uh, no, it's the monster's lair? Is it the place where these skeletons were made?"
"This is not what it should look like." Pointing to the long pipe in the distance that was obscured by countless black bodies, the tall magical creature named Kyle II replied calmly: "Collected
The energy is gathered here and then transmitted to the next place - this large-scale orbital diversion device is originally supposed to play this role."
"but now."
Halfway through the electronic synthesis, the scanning light that was constantly patrolling suddenly stopped at a certain position. Duan Qing, who noticed this abnormality, then slightly shifted his focus and looked at it from a distance.
A corner of the hall blocked by countless connected black figures: "What's wrong?"
"It should be right there."
Without answering Duan Qing's words, the heavy body of the tall magical creature gradually sank down. The buzzing of magic caused by the gathering of power also caused more and more obvious electric currents on the surface of the damaged body.
The next moment he wanted to charge in that direction, he was stopped by a shout from Duan Qing behind him: "Wait a minute!"
"The threat must be eliminated." The green light of the scan flashed in front of him, and Kyle II's voice seemed to be trembling due to the appearance of these words: "And-
The source of the threat—"
"Didn't you just say that you wanted to protect my safety?" He shouted this loudly at the other person's back, and Duan Qing's pale face seemed to become a lot more rosy because of his solemn tone: "
Do you still want to rush into that pile of monsters with me? Do you have a way to protect me in this situation?"
"Protect - Visitor -" The sizzling current gradually fell silent, replaced by Kyle II's electronically synthesized voice that had lost all human simulated emotions: "The content of the agreement conflicts, and the priority determination process is activated.
.”
"The target has not been listed as a hostile object, and the level of maintenance of the first-level life form is high." I don't know if it is due to the influence of strong energy fluctuations around it, but its self-reporting voice seems to have become extremely uncomfortable in Duan Qing's ears.
Stable: "According to Article 1 of Chapter 2 of the Priority Determination Agreement, the priority of Agreement No. 76 will be higher than that of Agreement No. 413 in this case."
"Sorry, visitor." The magic weapon once again resumed the way of speaking that simulated human emotions. The magic weapon raised his tall body again: "Please don't leave my side for the time being. The situation here is currently safe."
"I didn't mean to stop you, at least we can neutralize it a little bit." Enduring the ground vibration caused by the huge body gradually turning around, Duan Qing's face turned pale again because of his dry smile.
: "Just like the previous operations in the connected area, as long as we cooperate properly, the two purposes of 'eliminating threats' and 'protecting my safety' do not necessarily conflict completely."
"This is a good proposal." The sound of electricity and the hum of magic echoed in the air, and Kyle II's square head turned to look at the top of his head: "But there are only two of our units here, even if it is again
No matter how perfect the battle plan is, it is very difficult to clear the target without being damaged."
"Then let's think of other ways. Since our own strength is weaker in comparison, let's use everything we can use." Duan Qing, who answered, also pointed to the tall magic machine that was looking at him at this time.
Direction: "This is also the law that we adventurers are good at utilizing."
"In my data records, this tactic is one of the combat methods that you humans are better at." Kyle II replied calmly: "However, as you just saw, my control over this place is very limited.
, even the gate is no longer within the scope of my command authority."
"It's okay, it's not like you really need to turn off any device to clean it." After answering this, Duan Qing couldn't help but touch his nose: "But...is this really okay? Let me see
These magical experimental devices?”
"Haven't you always kept the contents of the experiment a secret?"
He raised his head and blinked at the square face of Kyle II who lowered his head. The magic light flashing on the screen-shaped face also followed the brief look between Kyle II and Duan Qing.
It kept circulating, and finally settled on a series of yellow light signals that went out: "Filtering of information - filtering completed."
"In order to prevent other accidents, I will only explain and explain the device you saw." It turned around and appeared in Duan Qing's eyes in the distance. At this time, it was entangled with those black undead creatures.
The half-circle device that was put together introduced: "This experimental device is called a large-scale orbital diversion device, and it was one of the Morris family's previous research projects."
"Its function is to use the theory of magic circulation to accelerate the elemental energy filled in it." Slightly raising one of his arms, Kyle II's explanation also turned to those transparent light tubes that seemed to be solidified.
The green energy surface in: "Ultra-high speed elemental energy will produce extraordinary changes and show many different characteristics - this is one of the main functions of this large-scale experimental device."
"Well, it's a bit like an electron accelerator." Duan Qing held his chin and raised his head, and his eyes began to gradually sweep along the energy pipelines and the tributaries flowing into them: "But the flow of these energies seems
It doesn’t look like it has super speed, but it looks like it is frozen in place..."
"That's because they have been accelerated to the second stage." Shaking his square head, Kyle II pointed to the direction from behind him and said: "Under the acceleration of the second stage, a large number of elements will
They will be gathered together, smaller in size, but containing greater energy."
"Just like the energy storms that are rising in the upper area and the connecting area at this time."
It put away its mechanical arm and replied in a low voice in plain words.
