If the layout of Intermediate Knight's rooms on the sixth floor of the cave is like a hotel suite in Landen's hometown; the fifth and fourth floors are like school dormitories (the third floor is like the former military camp bunkhouse in Landen's hometown); the salt workers' rooms on the second floor are completely bunkbed and floor-to-ceiling, looking like a pigsty, and the air in the whole room is also very turbid.
This smell brought back extremely bad memories for Landen. What he admired most now was that Ascetic Monk Light was willing to live on the second floor, eating and living with many salt workers.
Landen visited two rooms and then went down to the first floor of the cave. After listening to Gandalf's knowledge about Ley Line, he wanted to know how the energy in Ley Line was converted into heat energy in Salt Boiling Workshop.
"This is Magic Energy Furnace. This stove has been here for a long time. It was not put into use before Gandalf Mage came. After he came, it took several months of maintenance before it was put into use again."
In a medium-sized room on the first floor of the cave, Landen saw his extremely curious Magic Energy Furnace.
The room where Magic Energy Furnace is located is very special. There is a stone door in the room. The stone door can be opened automatically through magic. After entering the room, you can find that the walls, roof and floor of the entire room are very smooth.
Except for a cylindrical 6-meter-high stove with one end extending into the ground, the only thing left in the house is Magic Pattern Magic Array that emits blue light. Magic Array is centered on the stove and extends from the ground to the surrounding walls. Even the roof is in the pattern Magic Array.
"You got this furnace running again? That's amazing!"
"This stove is not a human creation. I could only restore a small part of its functions at that time. The current condition of this stove is the result of repairs made by the Salt and Iron Department 4 years ago."
"Is this the stove that connects Ley Line to every room in the cave?"
"I'm afraid it's more than just that. In addition to Ley Line and the room, this stove should be connected to more facilities, but now the only ones that can be used are the workshop and the room in the cave."
"It's amazing," Landen said, but he was thinking in his heart, how on earth did Human Race get kicked out of Gallop Plains by Beastmen? Could it be that they came in a furry mecha?
There are not only workshops on the first and second floors, but also many natural caves that serve as the warehouse for the entire Salt Mine. According to Landen's requirements, Albert and Makoto led people to check the valuable and useful goods in several large caves according to Lannia's list.
According to Albert's preliminary search, there are dozens of natural cave warehouses in the cave. The inventory includes almost everything from salt boiling cauldrons, various tools, fuel, Rune Board, leather and bones of Warcraft, to bacon that is no longer edible.
Wendy and Albert even found several hidden rooms through their joint search. These rooms are just like Magic Furnace's room. The stone doors are integrated with the cave walls and can only be opened using magic.
After entering these rooms, you can see Magic Array glowing with dim light in the room. According to Albert, these Magic Array should play a role in maintaining space stability and delaying the loss of Magic Power.
There are many Magic-Sealing Boxs in the room. These Magic-Sealing Boxs are hundreds of years old and are basically rotten. After opening, there are two boxes of Magic Crystals that have long since turned into powder. Four boxes. Inside are brand new Enchanted Armor and Enchanted Weapon that have no reaction from Magic Power. These armors and weapons should have been stored here by the Human Empire in case of emergencies on the plains.
These completely unused enchanted equipment not only have Sharpness, solidity and other magic Magic Array, but can also inspire fixed moves or spells through Battle Qi or Magic Power, which can be said to be rarer and more valuable than Magic Pattern Equipment.
However, these equipment no longer have the Magic Power response. According to Gandalf, they can only be resmelted, decomposed into various metals and then reprocessed into armor. The good news is that the Mana-Conductive Metal of these equipment has not been lost. Today's 100 sets of equipment have been carefully recast, and 90 new sets of equipment can be produced.
Landen I feel very distressed when I see that these one hundred sets of armors and weapons are only worth one material price now, because they have aged so much that they can no longer be used as ordinary armors.
Albert is very happy. These armors can be smelted in the future. Even if they cannot be smelted, these are obviously brand-new armors from 300 years ago. Many nobles should want to buy them home as part of their family display.
Of course, it's not that there are no usable things at all. For example, there are two boxes of Gold Coin and 20,000 pieces of Gold Coin. This is Landen's biggest gain since he went north.
The advantages of God Emperor, who is more than 1,000 years old, are now reflected. For a full 1,000 years, all currencies have been minted according to the first version of the currency that was minted after God Emperor ascended the throne., only differing in part of the drawings, so the entire Human Empire recognizes the legitimacy of all versions from the first version of the currency minted in the 20th year of Emperor Subordinate God to the 80th version of the currency minted in recent years.
Therefore, the two boxes of Gold Coin found by Landen can now be used and spent directly.
"If these Gold Coin are discovered by the Grey Goose Tribe," Albert's eyes went straight as he looked at these Gold Coin
"How's it going?"
"If they go south directly with these Gold Coin, Count will sell them 200 Mana-Wielder without hesitation."
"Why are we, Count Bristle-Wolf, short of money?" Landen asked.
"More money is needed than you think."
Two boxes of Gold Coin went directly into Landen's account. No matter what, I planned to restore Gallop Kingdom, so there is no shame in restoring the heritage of my motherland first.
Outside the last hidden room, Landen stopped, not daring to go in rashly, because outside the door of the room, Landen saw a nameplate that said "lounge" in human language. But underneath the word, Landen actually saw the words of his hometown.
[Emergency Communication Room] This is what Landen saw, a piece of text that came from his hometown but had stopped being used decades before he was born.
Landen grabbed Pete who was about to walk in, "Gandalf Mage, I think there is no need to continue to maintain Magic Power for these houses. Can Magic Furnace stop supplying Magic Power to a few rooms?"
"Oh?" Gandalf was a little curious as to why Landen asked to disconnect Magic Furnace before entering the room, "Of course, I'll do it."
Gandalf found a small square hole that was also hidden next to the door, similar to an electrical box. From the outside, you could see that the hole was full of magic Magic Array. There was a crystal in the center of Magic Array. The appearance of the crystal was very similar. Landen found several crystals in the magic teaching scrolls in the Bull Tribe.
Gandalf unscrewed the crystal, and Magic Array in the hole lost its light.
Since there is no energy source, the stone door of the room can only be pushed open by Intermediate Knight. After entering the room, there is no lighting in the room. Only a guest room for rest can be seen, with a wooden desk, mirror, bookshelf, bed, and chairs. The layout of the bed is very similar to that of Lannia's room.
Landen searched this room more carefully. In a corner of the room, Landen found a Magic Mirror, which Albert recognized as sunglasses used for communication.
This palm-sized one-handed mirror can monitor the situation in the entire room. The original Magic Crystal Base in the mirror was removed and connected to the magic Magic Array in the room. That is, the original magic energy in the room can automatically power Magic Mirror. Using another mirror, you can monitor the situation in the room at any time.
Landen I don't know if the so-called emergency communication uses this mirror, but if Magic Mirror is used, why do we need to build a separate room?
Soon, Landen's subordinates found several letters from the past year. These letters were just blank sheets of paper when they were opened. After Gandalf used visualization magic to process them, they could see some tasks sent from the empire Palace Front Department. Most of them required the recipients to always pay attention to the movements in Salt Mine and Grey Goose Tribe.
Just as Landen was reading the letter, Wendy actually found a hidden room in the room. When Wendy opened the room, Landen and everyone saw a stone room of less than 4 square meters. Magic Array in the stone room was still radiating light.
"Don't go in, there's something wrong with this room." Landen vaguely felt that the so-called Emergency Communication Room might refer to this small stone room.
"Ah?" Landen It was too late, Wendy had already stepped into the stone chamber.
In the stone room, you can see 8 square mirrors on a wall. There is a stone table under the mirror wall, and the stone table is covered with magic Magic Array.
Afraid that Wendy would be in danger, Landen could only enter the stone room. However, the layout inside the stone room was the same as Mirror Hall's in the castles of various great nobles. It was very similar to the control room in Landen's hometown. After Landen came in, except for Magic Array who was still glowing, he couldn't tell what was wrong.
On the stone table, Landen found a letter. It was hard to imagine that the letter could still be preserved so completely after hundreds of years.
Landen opened the letter and vaguely saw that it was a letter written by one of Landen's ancestors 400 years ago. The recipient was a person named Zhuoqin. However, Landen had just briefly read the content of the letter when Magic Array on the ground glowed brightly. The letter was suddenly ignited and turned into ashes lifelessly.
