Lara Croft didn't take her words to heart. After all, this woman had said too many nonsense. Apart from reminding her to avoid the invisible cleaners at the beginning, she didn't seem to show any ability.
The knowledge and ability to leave here. In contrast, she is now more focused on the stories recorded in the archives, and the hot cocoa drink that is about to be boiled from ice cubes and chocolate in the pot. "Do you want some cocoa?" she asked.
, "Or do you want to hear a bedtime story?"
"Get some cocoa." The woman sat up immediately. She still didn't take off the funny eyepatch, and her two absurd impressionistic eyeballs were moving around. Although she tried very hard to reach out and take Lara Croft's hand.
thermos cup, but she seemed to have forgotten how she stuffed her arms into the sleeping bag. After a struggle, she lay on the ground again, "Let's have some bedtime stories too. I like to listen to stories the most."
"This is a horror story that happened in the Kingdom of West Francia and has some relationship with members of the Carolingian royal family. After this incident, the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, King of Germany, Otto I of the Saxon Dynasty of the Kingdom of East Francia. West Francia
After the fall of the kingdom, Pope John XII crowned the first Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in Rome, and the Holy Roman Emperor became the guardian and emperor of Rome, as well as the supreme ruler of the Roman Catholic world."
Once it comes to her professional field, Lara Croft seems to be very interested and does not care about the increasingly weak breathing of the woman next to her. "But decades before this, that is, in 911, Canada
The last king of the Lorraine family, Ludwig IV, the child Louis, passed away. This is the background knowledge you must understand before telling this story. This story is related to the illness of Ludwig IV, the Holy See and the Kingdom of East Francia.
In the dispute, Ludwig IV announced that John XII was involved in heresy, which had a lot to do with it, which involved the real heresy, which is the protagonist of this story..."
She happily told stories using the information she had sorted out. It wasn't until the hot cocoa in the pot solidified again that she noticed that the woman beside her had stopped moving. Unrecognizable, she reached out and touched the woman's smooth neck, which was cold.
The touch made the woman sit up suddenly, and then the buzzer also started beeping.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it!" Lara Croft quickly waved her hand to explain, "I was just too involved..."
"Now is the time when my favorite TV show is airing." The woman shook her messy black hair and sounded a little regretful. She pulled her arm out of the sleeping bag, and the children's watch with a plastic case kept making a beeping sound. "
I missed the time when I could watch the program most clearly."
"You have a watch? Again?" Lara Croft planned to change the way of asking, "How many times has this watch rang since you came to this place from the closet like The Chronicles of Narnia?"
"What is The Chronicles of Narnia?" the woman asked curiously. She really didn't know what the Chronicles of Narnia was, and naturally didn't know the way she got from the cupboard to the library or the behavior of the protagonists of The Chronicles of Narnia.
So similar that Lara Croft began to doubt that The Chronicles of Narnia was fact rather than story.
"You don't have to worry about this. You just need to tell me how many times your watch has rung."
"There should be...twelve times!"
"You didn't bring any food or water?" Lara Croft blinked, a little disbelieving. She spoke again to confirm, with a very serious expression, and even grabbed the woman's wrist to carefully check the children's watch. She didn't believe it.
Someone can survive in this maze for twelve days wearing such thin clothing and without taking in any food or water. "The program you like to watch should only be broadcast once a day, right?"
"Yes."
"This is impossible!"
As soon as Lara Croft finished speaking, she smelled a strange smell. It was definitely not the smell of burnt chocolate, she had extinguished the alcohol stove. It was like a mixture of moist dust, torn linen and tears.
Then, mixed with the odor of gnashing hatred and futile anger - it was impossible for me to smell these things with my nose - Lara Croft had just thought of these, and immediately took the woman's wrist and pulled her
Pulling out of the sleeping bag, she was certain that the person attracted by the alcohol stove and the sound of conversation was definitely not the ghost cleaner from before.
"Can you deal with the devil?" She loaded her HK45 as she ran. For safety reasons, she had removed the magazine of the pistol that used 45ACP ammunition from the thigh holster, and did not leave it in the chamber.
A bullet. After all, there was a crazy woman lying next to her. She had to ensure the most basic safety when going out. Compared with her, this woman was very thin. Lara Croft believed that even if there was a conflict, she could survive a physical fight.
Gaining an advantage. Now she regretted it. The pistol bullets coated with refined silver were very slippery, as if they were coated with a layer of oil. She even dropped a bullet.
"Or are you actually not a witch?" She led the woman back and forth between the bookshelves. Without any destination, she only went to places where she could not smell the smell. She also looked back frequently to make sure that the strange woman would not
Alone. When she finally loaded the bullets, she and the woman had arrived at a place where even the candlesticks above their heads were extinguished. The huge books were like barriers that penetrated deep into the invisible darkness. They didn't even know how high the ceiling was here.
high.
"I'm a witch! I just forgot the spell!" the woman yelled, "Don't breathe, beware of the dust demon!"
"Seraph Serum!"
"This is impossible!" Master Hamil shook his head. He stood at the door of two carved wooden doors, blocking Hammurabi's footsteps. Even though he knew that he could not stop the guards, he still wanted to explain something here.
"Our yield is less than 1%, and the inventory is not large enough. This is the closest thing we have to a panacea. We must have a few copies just in case. The Mystic Mage family will never agree with your idea.
.These seraphim serums are the life-extending potions second only to the First Honey Flower and the Red Dragon Wet Mercury. If you use these shares that belong to them, no matter what kind of power the Lord gives you, the Mystic Mage Family will
Against you."
"Have I not given them anything better?"
"But you didn't give them the real panacea. People are greedy, even mystics are no exception."
Master Hamil glanced at Master Xiao Wang beside him. This time, the Supreme Master had left Kama Taj for too long. If the Supreme Master had not handed over the power to Salomon before leaving, Salomon would have divided some of the power.
It gave Master Hamil, Master Wu Guiyue and other direct descendants of the Supreme Master, and arranged many armed forces to control various important places of Kama Taj. Otherwise, this power dispute would be more intense than expected, and even bloody conflicts would not be unavoidable.
possible.
The only person in Kama Taj who can create the Philosopher's Stone is Salomon. This is a height that no one else can reach. Even if a mystic stays by his side and imitates his movements, spells and formulas, it is impossible to create it.
He created the Philosopher's Stone because alchemy is a technology related to the soul, and other mystics cannot compete with him in terms of soul height.
Wizard Hamil knows what this means.
The remains of the Philosopher's Stone in Paracelsus are also found in Kama Taj, and the fragments of the Philosopher's Stone created by Salomon in the laboratory of the Immortal City are also found here. You only need to compare them once to know the difference between the two.
The difference is that the latter has gone quite far in the path of alchemy and arcane magic. No one except the Supreme Mage can keep up. But Salomon cannot waste all his time on making the Philosopher's Stone. He truly completed the Philosopher's Stone independently.
The Philosopher's Stone is actually only Dinah, and the other Philosopher's Stones are actually ether separated from the Reality Stone, creations in which precious metals react with his soul. It is impossible for him to put all his magic into it to create the elixir of immortality - in this world
There are many kinds of elixirs. Although the effects are different and the methods of use are different, the principles are basically the same and they are very rare - even Kama Taj only keeps one copy of Otkid's Elixr, so Seraphim
The existence of serum appears to be very precious.
"If you go in," Master Hamil said, "leave the holy sword outside."
"You know, I can kill them without a holy sword."
"This is just a matter of attitude. I don't believe you don't understand such simple political tactics." Master Hamil sneered, "Kama Taj can connect to the Internet. I know the political games you are playing in Latvinia. Those companies
The Lord is much harder to deal with than those old guys."
Salomon glared at him, but the old guy didn't give in.
"Hammurabi, stay outside. King, come in with me."
Master Hamil moved away and opened the door to the meditation room for Salomon. "And your firearm, it cannot bleed." He said, "At least it cannot bleed until the Supreme Master comes."
First the first shot, then the second shot.
Then Lara Croft dropped the pistol, then dropped the backpack, dragging the woman and continued running forward.
The pistol has no effect. Even if the silver bullets are used, what she just did is no different from shooting a swarm with a pistol. It is even stupider. What kind of person would think of using bullets to deal with a cloud of gray mist? Laura
·Crawford shook his head and held the signal stick in his hand while holding the woman who was still cracking her fingers trying to recall the spell. She took advantage of the corner and passed a rough rock wall to rub the signal stick and ignited it, and a red fire suddenly appeared.
Lighted up, the dense fog following them suddenly shrank as if being pricked by a needle. The rich adventure experience made Lara Croft realize something. She suddenly stopped and straightened the burning signal stick.
Poke into the thick fog.
Lara Croft thought about the past, the anatomy class she had experienced in middle school.
When she gently touched the dissected frog with a metal rod, the bioelectricity caused the frog's muscles to contract and its legs to twitch. The scene in front of her was exactly the same as that time, with a thick gray fog like a frog stimulated by bioelectricity.
Shrinking suddenly. Only now could Lara Croft see what was chasing them - it was a giant fog that filled every corner from the rough stone tile floor to the high ceiling -
—There was a faint white light where the bookshelves touched the fog creature cluster, and static electricity occasionally appeared. Lara Croft felt her scalp numb. She didn’t know if she was hallucinating, because she saw every dust demon.
appearance.
It is a cluster composed of countless extra-dimensional creatures that are too small to be seen. From the appearance, it looks like a big gray fog. Extra-dimensional creatures have no concept of mass, volume, etc., but powerful extra-dimensional creatures undoubtedly have
Can squeeze more of their spiritual power from the gap between reality and illusion - only those extremely weak extradimensional creatures, those whose life process is like a mayfly in the eyes of creatures in the real universe with time scale, will be able to squeeze in
The material universe appears like dust.
“N’okii, no, it’s N’ooi!”
Lara Croft ignored the meaningless spells of the woman next to her. She lunged forward like a sword, and the red fire pierced the ash cluster. "Now, stand behind me." She pulled the woman.
He walked behind him, then faced the thick dust and fog, and slowly backed away, "Are you sure you still remember the spell?"
"Of course I remember, I'm a witch!"
"You better remember, ma'am." Lara Croft took a deep breath. This was the rare time they could breathe freely. "Otherwise we are dead!"
At this time, a steel statue next to them started to work. Originally, Lara Croft thought it was just a decoration installed in the library, but the industrial-looking statue was taking heavy steps, with its shoulders
The giant cannon made the sound of being loaded, its pincer-shaped arms stretched forward, and the metal barrel of an unknown purpose emitted a dazzling hot white light, and strode towards them with agility that the Boston Dynamics robot could not match.
"Do you recognize this thing?"
"No!"
"We're doomed!"
When Salomon and Master Xiao Wang left the meditation room, Master Hamil immediately looked to see if there was blood on their hands and clothes. When it was determined that they were no different from before entering, Master Hamil relaxed.
After taking a breath, Hammurabi also removed his finger from the power switch of the garrison spear. There are no more powerful warriors in the material universe than the Praetorian Guards. Hammurabi believed that he had the ability to rush into the monastery and kill those who were with him.
The emperor was the one who was against him, but then the emperor stretched out his hand to Hammurabi and took the garrison spear in his hand.
Master Hamil originally wanted to ask about the outcome of the negotiation, but now he doesn't want to ask, because Master Xiao Wang's expression said it all. The garrison spear weighs about 120 kilograms, and the weight of the explosive bomb loaded into the magazine can be temporarily
Ignore it, and the sharp blade of the garrison spear is used to cut armor rather than flesh. No human being can withstand such an attack.
"They packed the crazy woman into the library." Master Xiao Wang looked around and found that no one was willing to speak, so he could only speak. "What's worse is that they also slightly let go of the library's defense."
