Chapter 714: Jianzhu, underground seventh floor

Under the surprised gazes of everyone including Laos himself, several slender and winding white tentacles suddenly grew out from the hilt of the long sword at his waist, wriggling constantly and looking a little disgusting.

"What is that?! And it's getting longer!"

Malucil instantly moved away from Laos, with a look of surprise and strong disgust. At the same time, the growing tentacles actively climbed up the door in front of her and stretched into a huge gear-like device on the door.

Falin looked at Jianzhu curiously, then looked at the situation in front of her and guessed:

"Could it be that it is helping to open the door?"

Just as she finished speaking, she heard a clear "click" sound from inside the door, followed by a sound as if some mechanism had started to turn. At this moment, Malucier realized that the ancient magic cast on the door seemed to have been lifted.

“It seems like the door is really opened!”

Mashu opened his eyes wide in surprise, but at the same time, Chilchak heard some subtle unusual noises, looked up at the top of the gate, and exclaimed:

"Be careful, there seems to be something up there!"

As the door opened, the three gargoyles sleeping above woke up and attacked everyone.

Thanks to Chilchak's reminder, everyone was prepared in time. Ritsuka Fujimaru, Mashu, and Marlucel each killed one head and ended the battle quickly.

However, compared to the battle and the opened door, everyone was more concerned about another thing right now——

"Kensuke, I didn't expect you to have this ability?"

After the door was opened, the tentacles that had grown out retracted again, looking no different than usual. Laos held the sword in his hand and stared at it with surprise and confusion in his eyes.

The surprise was beyond words, but what puzzled him was that in their previous battles with each other, the other party seemed to have never displayed this ability.

"Le. O. S...."

Suddenly, a voice called out word by word, which made him feel terrified. He immediately turned around and saw Malucier staring at him and the sword in his hand with a dangerous look and said:

"Should you explain to us what's going on with that sword?"

"Of course!"

Laos nodded quickly, but at this time, Chilchak had already made a rough guess and said unhappily:

"Isn't that a living armor that's parasitic inside the sword? Are you going to keep it by our side without telling us?"

"Active armor?" x3

Looking at the curious looks of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu and Farin, Laos explained with a smile.

For monsters like the Living Armor, the outside world has long believed that they are magical creations like golems and gargoyles.

But this time, when they were fighting at the entrance to the third underground floor, they accidentally discovered that it was not magic that made the armor move, but some kind of creatures living in various parts of the armor.

They hold hands to form muscles inside the armor, use the armor as an exoskeleton, and control the armor to move and fight. This is the truth about mobile armor.

The sword in Laos's hand came from the leader of the movable armor who fought with them at that time. It was also inhabited by that kind of creature, and he named it Kensuke after discovering it.

As he spoke, Laos showed the Kensuke to everyone. As if he noticed everyone's gazes, his two eyes like snail tentacles cautiously poked their heads out.

"Oh, so cute—"

Falin was curious and wanted to reach out to touch it. Seeing this, Jianzhu immediately made a threatening gesture, and then quickly retracted it. Falin withdrew her hand with some regret and smiled:

"So this is a pretty remarkable discovery, right?"

"Right!"

"What the hell!!" x2

Facing the angry Malucil and Chilchak, Laos scratched his head and laughed:

"I'm sorry for keeping it a secret from you for so long, but at least Kensuke did help a lot this time, so it shouldn't matter, right?"

"Forehead,"

The two were speechless for a moment, but Malucier quickly reacted and frowned slightly and said:

"But the situation just now was obviously a bit strange. If the movable armor had such ability, I'm afraid the secret would have been discovered long ago, right?"

"indeed……"

Laos also held his chin and pondered, and soon he suddenly thought of something and said:

"Is it possible that Yaad or the Winged Lion is helping us?"

"If that's the case, it's not impossible."

While everyone was discussing and speculating, Fujimaru Ritsuka was looking at Kensuke with a thoughtful expression.

During this period of time, she occasionally felt that someone was spying on her. She originally thought that the gazes were just from ghosts, but now there seems to be another possibility...

Laos and others didn't reach any conclusion in the end, but the door was opened anyway, so they naturally continued to go deeper.

The painting style behind the gate is completely different from that in front of the gate, as if it had suddenly changed from the Middle Ages to steampunk. Old machines of unknown purpose are placed beside the passage, and the walls are covered with various steam pipes. Even the temperature has become a little stuffy.

From here to the seventh underground floor, you have left the castle and arrived underground, which are the real remains of the ancient dwarves.

After walking through a passage, they came to a platform. Next to the platform was a huge machine. Senxi recognized it at a glance and said:

"That should be an automatic mining car. Let's get on it."

After walking into the automatic mine cart, without any operation, the mine cart started automatically and began to carry everyone to a deeper level.

Falin looked at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly remembered something and said:

"Come to think of it, we are the first group of adventurers to explore here, right?"

"Yes."

Laos agreed with a smile. Next was the completely unfamiliar seventh underground floor. Although he didn't know how many unknown dangers there would be, he was more curious and looked forward to encountering more monsters he had never encountered before.

Of course, the most important thing is to defeat the crazy magician and restore Falin's freedom.

Mashu looked curiously at the lights on the front and sides of the car windows. Even the seats in the car were similar to modern styles. Seeing this, she smiled at Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"The civilization of the ancient dwarves seems to be quite advanced!"

"Ok!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in agreement, also looking around curiously. At this time, hearing their conversation, Marusil explained:

"Due to the long-term war between the elves and the dwarves and goblins, both sides continued to conduct research in order to defeat each other, and at one point both sides developed a fairly advanced civilization."

"It's just that in the end, both sides suddenly discovered that what they created had become extremely terrifying, and even posed a terrible threat to themselves and the entire world."

"So the two sides finally reached a consensus and chose to seal up everything they created, prohibiting further research and use. This also marked the end of the First World War."

"And the ancient magic that is considered taboo today, as well as these ancient dwarven relics, are mostly products of that period."

"I see."

Both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu had a look of realization on their faces, and they had a clearer understanding of this world.

After a period of peaceful time, the mine cart finally reached the bottom. Everyone got out of the mine cart and passed through a tunnel that was neither too long nor too short. Suddenly, the front became open, and in front of everyone was a complex of buildings built close to the rocky mountain.

This is the seventh underground floor, the remains of the ancient dwarves.
