Chapter 126: Underground
After connecting the power source pulled from the surface and installing searchlights in the underground palace, Lu Mingfei focused his attention on the twelve huge stone coffins in front of him. These were the coffins that the scientific expedition team reported might have corpse guards.
, one of them has been opened, it is the sarcophagus where the corpse guard who was killed by him the night before yesterday is located.
Researchers are carefully loading the huge coffin into some even larger transparent glass cabinets. That is one of the equipment brought by the vice-principal, a storage cabinet with a small alchemical matrix. This is the underground alchemy cabinet of Kassel College
The department's standing equipment can seal some non-high-risk alchemy items. After being transported outside, they will be transferred to transport boxes with a higher protection level. It is also in order to rush to produce these things that they are later than the people in the execution department of the headquarters.
arrive.
The danger of an activated corpse guard is naturally extremely high, but the danger of an unactivated corpse guard still lying in a coffin is not so high. There is also an alchemy matrix flowing with mercury on the surface of this hall, which was arranged by the vice principal.
Used to prevent the corpse guard from waking up.
Of course, just in case, in addition to Lu Mingfei, there are other execution department specialists holding equipment who are also on the alert. Once there is any movement in a coffin, the alchemy spray guns in their hands will spray ultra-low temperature
The degree of liquid nitrogen stopped the corpse guard's movements.
Although this low temperature may not be of any use to the skeletons, when paired with a glue gun that has also been treated with alchemy and can fire a glue that can solidify at extremely low temperatures. With mutual cooperation, there is a high possibility that it can be used.
Successfully captured these things.
If the vice-principal hadn't requested that these things be recovered as intact as possible, these things could have been dealt with faster using the Dragon's Breath Spray Gun modified by the Equipment Department.
And now, the head of the West Asia branch who followed us down was holding a dragon's breath spray gun and carrying a fuel tank behind his back, staring at these coffins. It was as if he was expecting some movement in a certain sarcophagus so that he could rush up with the gun and vent his anger from the night before yesterday.
The frustration of being helpless when encountering a corpse.
Everyone around him also wore protective clothing to prevent him from being accidentally injured by the liquid nitrogen, colloid and flames flying in the sky when the corpse guard ran out.
While Lu Mingfei was staring at the sarcophagus, he was also asking the shadow followers to stare at the surroundings. He did not forget that there was something more difficult to deal with than the Corpse Guard deeper here.
The commissioners of the Executive Department also thought of this, and buried mines that would release a large amount of mercury vapor and set up a high-voltage power grid around the underground palace, which looked more like a temple than an ancient tomb, to guard against possible disasters.
Other creatures that appear. Of course, the Mercury Alchemy Bullet is equipped by all specialists.
However, except for the innermost room in this underground palace, all other rooms have been explored by drones. Except for some cultural relics suspected of being alchemical items, there is nothing else to see in those rooms.
The vice-principal led some people to recover those alchemy items that were very dangerous to go up.
Lu Mingfei, who also knew this through the Shadow Servant, held on to the magic gift under the protective suit, and waited until the hall and surrounding rooms were cleared before opening the innermost room. Lu Mingfei didn't know what was inside.
, in order to prevent irritating the things inside, he has not let the shadow followers in.
And the things inside have not shown up yet or sent Deadpool or the like out to fight against their group of invaders. They are probably in a very bad state, but they cannot take it lightly.
Based on the Alchemy Department's research on the Corpse Guard that was eliminated by Lu Mingfei, it is not something simple that can be guarded or guarded by the Corpse Guard transformed by this kind of pure-blood dragon. Even if this Corpse Guard was unknown during his lifetime, it was not something simple.
It has been planted for generations.
As the last sarcophagus was put into the alchemy glass cabinet, everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief. The storage work was completed without any incident, which was really beyond their expectations.
Next, these items will be sealed and transported by land to the Persian Gulf in specially designed trucks, and then sent to the Kassel headquarters underground ice cellar outside Chicago on a ship converted from a warship that has been waiting there for a long time to be sealed. It is estimated that they will never be seen again.
The day the lockdown is lifted.
The other group of people who followed the vice-principal also carried large and small boxes and followed the glass cabinet and left. The vice-principal, who was still dressed as a cowboy, came over with Ling, who was pulled over by him to record the mural.
"According to the murals and cuneiform writing here, this place probably existed in the Sumerian era." The vice-principal shook the wine bottle and put it away with some disappointment after feeling that it didn't hold much.
Lu Mingfei took the camera from Ling's hand and looked at the carvings and cuneiform characters engraved on the metal wall. I don't know if the metal carvings were buried underground because of the material or alchemy.
It is still very clear even after thousands of years.
These patterns describe many things. There are winged monsters that lower fire in the city-state, and then there are people like priests praying in a palace-like place. In the next picture, a humanoid creature with wings appears and prays to that person.
The raging winged monster threw something that looked like a chain. After that, the winged monster was subdued and taken to a prison-like place to be imprisoned.
The other paintings are basically the same content, only the monsters look different, but they are all winged creatures.
Lu Mingfei could only understand a little bit of the cuneiform text on the side. The word "demon" or "monster" appeared frequently, followed by the words "chain" and "prison".
Combining the above patterns, Lu Mingfei guessed that this place should be used as some kind of prison-like facility. The people imprisoned are those evil demons, or in other words - dragons.
"So this is a prison, and we just packed up the jailer and took him away." Lu Mingfei said, and he finally understood the reason why they had been busy here for a long time and no dragons came out to chase away the guests.
"Yes, if my guess is correct, this should be a place where the dragons kept prisoners of war after the civil war. Those corpse guards were also set up to prevent short-sighted humans or other similar people from running in."
The vice-principal came to the stone steps facing the unopened bronze door of the temple. There was a winged human statue carved on the wall. "After the dragons lost control of the world, they fell into civil strife for a period of time. Here.
What is recorded is most likely the history of the dragons who were still enslaving humans at that time and were fighting against each other.”
"They serve as the protectors of mankind in the city-states built for them, and fight against the hostile dragons." Lu Mingfei recalled what he had read about various countries in the library of Kassel College.
The connection between mythical monsters or evil gods and dragons.
"So, the imprisoned dragon is still imprisoned deep here?" The branch chief came up and asked.
Lu Mingfei nodded. The magic power fluctuations coming from the room deep in the palace proved that the imprisoned dragon was still alive.
"Then isn't this great?" Branch Chief Xiang licked his lips, and then remembered that he was wearing a mask to prevent mercury vapor. "After doing this, maybe my photo will have a chance to be hung in the Hall of Valor after my death.
inside."
"Stop daydreaming, kid." The vice-principal opened the wine bottle and drank the last sip of wine. "The imprisoned dragon is not that easy to deal with."
