Chapter 168: Underground Labyrinth (5000)(1/2)
In the dim classroom, four will-o'-the-wisps emitted a faint green light. The spinal worm sucked the secret technique to create soul energy. The light from more than a dozen pairs of eyes projected the image seen by the host in the white smoke.
Qingkong led the students to watch.
Since I couldn't fast forward, I could only patiently read through everything the host had experienced. During this period, due to the consumption of soul energy, the will-o'-the-wisp weakened and swayed, so Heidisike immediately took his classmates to add mole bone powder to the candle.
Kaili was not parasitized for a long time. After he was frozen by the clear sky, the picture projected by the Spinal Worm changed to another scene. In a dark room, the host was standing in the corner under the control of the Spinal Worm. Image
It can be seen that Portlem is leading four abyss mages to deploy secret techniques, but it is difficult to judge where they are just by looking at them.
Qingkong continued to watch, paying careful attention to the details of the room. The stone bricks on the wall were seriously damaged and should not have been used for a long time. Perhaps it was a house from the Oulu Academy period a hundred years ago. After the disaster, the Oulu Academy underwent a major reconstruction
, many underground buildings are buried under the new college.
It's not easy to identify them.
At this time, Dean Willred appeared in the Department of Occult Arts. This time he did not make any disguise, which made the students immediately nervous. They all knew that the Dean disliked occult arts, and they came into contact with occult arts at Oulu College.
The technique has always been taboo.
"Children, guard your positions. I know you are protecting the academy." Willred comforted the students. He walked to Qingkong's side and looked at the impact being cast in the white smoke: "It's a very magical secret.
The magic actually allows the spinal worm to project what the host sees! It's really Portlem...can you find where they are?"
In the image, Portlem, who had completed the deployment of the secret technique, came closer, and his face clearly appeared in the image. When he took out the spinal worm from the host, the projected image immediately stopped.
The past life record of the spinal cord can only play what the host saw, not what the spinal cord saw.
Soon the image appeared again. Although it was still a sealed room, it was no longer Oulu College. Judging from the fact that there were many mysterious props and some corpses and body parts in the room, it should be Portlem's occult laboratory.
Qingkong shook her head and said to Dean Willred: "I don't know much about the buildings left behind by the college a hundred years ago. Can the Dean see where it was just now?"
Willred thought back to the scene, which was not too long: "The disaster a hundred years ago destroyed most of the buildings of Oulu College, some were buried underground, and some were stuck in sub-space. Judging from the state of the room, it should be buried
There's a part underground where I can't tell where they are, but at least we narrowed down the search area."
Qingkong said: "I have asked Professor Ben to take people to the library to use secret tracking to find the direction of the secret release. If they have any results there, they can narrow the scope again."
Just as he was talking, Bruce Ban suddenly broke in.
"Professor Qingkong, we found... the dean..." Bruce Ban was stunned when he saw Willred and Qingkong standing together.
Willred said kindly: "Don't be nervous, I know about your rebuilding of the Oulu Academy Occult Department. After such a long time, I have put down this burden. I hope you can re-establish the Oulu Academy Occult Department."
Former glory.
Now tell us, what did you find?"
Bruce Ban looked at Qingkong. Although he didn't know what happened specifically, since the dean accepted the Department of Occult Arts, it was always a good thing. He saluted Dean Willred: "Your Excellency, Professor Qingkong, We found the direction of the other party's spell... near the college's historical archives."
College Historical Archives!
It was a circular three-story building located in the northwest corner of the college. The archives itself was not large, but a hundred years ago it was located in a student dormitory. In that disaster, an earthquake caused by a magical confrontation destroyed the entire student dormitory. The dormitory area is entirely swallowed underground.
Many people died inside, and later due to the mutual conflict of magical energy, a large number of undead were produced. The earthquake made the internal structure of the student dormitory area buried underground extremely complicated. Although the college conducted several explorations, it was unable to completely eliminate it. The undead left the academy with no choice but to seal this underground area.
And the college historical archives were built on it.
Because students have little interest in the college's historical archives.
For players, the underground of the Oulu Academy Historical Archives is a very good exploration map. After being killed, the undead inside will reorganize within half an hour to an hour. Players will often encounter front and rear attacks there. .
However... if you take a girl with you on an adventure, you will generally have a good experience.
Qingkong recalled the room he had just seen, and said to Dean Willred: "The room where Portlem and the others arranged the secret arts really looked like an old-style student dormitory. I took Professor Madara to search the underground of the college's historical archives. Commander, you will lead the battle mages to surround the archives to prevent Portlem from escaping."
"Are you two the only ones entering the underground of the Historical Archives?" Willred said worriedly: "I will send a few battle mages to go down with you...Portlem is a very difficult guy, especially in In a complex environment like the underground.”
Qingkong said: "We don't know what kind of secret techniques Portlem has arranged in the underground dormitory area. If too many people enter, they will easily be ambushed by him. Secret techniques should be used to deal with them. Professor Ben can do it in such a short time." Looking backwards to find the location where the spell is to be performed shows that he has a very high talent for secret arts.
If the two of us go in, even if we can't catch Portlem, it will be easier for us to escape."
Wilred acknowledged what Qingkong said.
The gap period in Oulu Academy's research on occult arts has been too long. At this time, the only one that can be used for occult confrontation is the recently established Department of Occult Arts. And within the Faculty of Occult Arts, only those who are accomplished in occult arts are Clear Sky and Bruce Benn.
As the mysterious professor of the Department of Occult Arts, Willred knew how high Bruce Ban’s talent for the Occult Arts was. If placed in the Department of Occult Arts a hundred years ago, he would definitely be as much a leader as the first apostle Victor. figure.
Willred knew that as the dean, he could not take risks, and the only ones the college could send at this time were the two of them.
"But there are only two of you, and the number is still too small. There are only four Abyss mages we saw..."
At this time Lydia teleported in, and with her came sandpaper and a kestrel.
Qingkong said to Willred: "As long as we have sandpaper and kestrel to follow us in."
Sandpaper fingers turned the large wrench and said: "I also brought Boiling and Sally. Miss Qingkong, when are we going to set off? I brought all the tools so that I can severely repair the guy who made you unhappy."
"Now!"
…
In the early morning, no one was asleep in Oulu College. Under the protection of faculty and battle mages, students gathered in the many safe houses set up by the college.
In a forest northwest of the college, a large number of Oulu battle mages stood on the branches, heavily surrounding the college historical archives in the middle. All the teachers on duty in the archives had evacuated, Qingkong took Bruce Ban, sandpaper, and red
Falcon walked through the gate and walked into the small round building.
Following behind them were the war machines boiling and the repaired Abyss Leopard Sally.
The war machine Boiling has been transformed by Sandpaper and has a certain ability to perceive the outside world. He followed Sandpaper step by step with steely steps, like a little brother who can't live without his sister. Especially after seeing the clear sky, he followed Sandpaper
He followed even tighter.
The assembled Abyss Leopard was named Sally. She was not a mechanical creature, but she had good intelligence because she possessed an elemental soul.
A group of people entered the hall of the college's historical archives. When the staff left, they turned on all the lights, making the whole building very bright. On both sides of the hall were corridors extending to the left and right, with an upward staircase in the middle, and two
There is a statue of a mage, and many magical portraits representing honor are hung on the walls.
Bruce Ban, who was following Qingkong, was a little nervous. After all, he was facing the Abyss Mage and the legendary Abyss Apostle this time.
He looked at the empty hall warily and asked Qingkong: "Professor Qingkong, I have been to the college's historical archives many times, and there seems to be no underground passage here."
Qingkong observed the two mage statues on the left and right. The mage on the left was holding a magic wand, and the mage on the right was holding a magic book. At the same time, he asked Bruce Ban: "Have you been to the Historical Archives many times? What is there here?
How can it attract you so much?"
Bruce Ban knew that he had unintentionally exposed some private things. He hesitated and said: "I...I want to use the information here to find out what happened in the Department of Occultism a hundred years ago. I want to see if it is related to the Occult Arts."
s things."
"What did you find?" Qingkong walked to the mage statue on the left, reached out and pulled out the magic wand in the statue's hand.
"Professor Qingkong..." Bruce Ban wanted to stop him. The figure in this statue was one of the founders of Oulu Academy, but thinking of Qingkong's past behavior, he could only shut up. Then he replied: "The former Department of Occult Arts has obtained
With their extraordinary achievements, it is no exaggeration to call them the founders of modern occult arts. It is precisely because of them that I am more determined to learn esoteric arts.
Thank you, Professor Qingkong. Without you, I would have been an alchemist assistant who accomplished nothing."
"You should thank me...but I still want to remind you not to do anything wrong. I will still look at you according to my standards and be ready to kill you at any time." Qingkong grabbed the magic wand in his hand and used the bottom of the wand.
Knock the end heavily on the floor. Once, twice, three times, and then chant the incantation: "Turn over!"
Valley fluke
The entire hall turned very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, a group of people stood in a dark hall.
There was a faint ghost cry in my ears, and the will-o'-the-wisps swimming on the wall provided a glimmer of light for this spacious space. At this time, Boiling turned on the searchlights on his shoulders to illuminate the hall.
The walls are made of large solid stones, so even after being buried for more than a hundred years, the entire building is still very strong. Under the illumination of the searchlight, you can see that there are many large-scale cracks on the walls and some heel-shaped vines.
Strips protruded from the cracks and climbed along the cracks in the wall.
In addition, there are many scattered benches and long tables. On the tables are water glasses covered with dust and moss, and there are many things that are rotten and cannot be seen.
The hall of the student dormitory of Oulu College is also the main activity and social space for students. In their spare time, many students will eat, study, and chat here...
After Qingkong observed a circle around the hall and found that there was no danger, he said: "We are now on the bottom floor of a student dormitory building at Oulu College a hundred years ago. Its area is much larger than that of the college's historical archives above, and it is also due to the ground subsidence.
The reason is that the environment is more complex.
We have to face not only the abyss mages, but also the undead that existed a hundred years ago, so everyone should be careful."
"Yes, Professor Qingkong (Miss)!"
"Now we start searching from the first level, and then go up layer by layer. The sandpaper explores the path in front, and the boiling supports the sandpaper; the kestrel drags Sally behind; Professor Ben and I are in the middle.
Sandpaper and Kestrel will guard the corridors on both sides, and leave the task of searching the room to me and Professor Ben."
"Understood, Professor Qingkong (Miss)!"
"Operation, start from the corridor on the left and search clockwise."
Sandpaper held a large wrench and turned on the combat mode. Her feet left the ground, and her twin ponytail hair turned into a metallic color and floated. The powerful perception ability spread, and the suspended body floated towards the corridor on the left.
Boiling followed Sandpaper. After it took a step and made a heavy sound, Bruce Ban immediately took out his magic wand and cast a silent magic on Boiling's feet. Although Boiling's footsteps were still there, they were no longer the same as before.
loud.
At this time, Kestrel also turned on the battle mode and floated. She pulled out her rapier and stood behind Sunny with Abyss Leopard Sally.
Occupying a subspace, the architectural design of Oulu College is very luxurious. Even the corridor of the student dormitory is five meters wide and four meters high, and it does not seem too narrow when walking in the middle.
The dark and humid environment, the cries of ghosts everywhere, and the undead that can appear at any time.
