Plural Apostles

"The standard model magic field constitutes the base plate, the number of seals: 3000, the magic capacity... a bunch of proper nouns." Karen pulled the corners of her mouth and rubbed her forehead, "This can only be as the name suggests... By the way, Mei, you Have you tried opening this thing?"

"There is no way to open it." Leiden Mei shook his head, "The material of this metal box is extremely strong, no matter if I bombard it with lightning, it can insulate my lightning. I hacked with a sword, and finally broke a few holes in the blade , and there is no trace of it."

"What's more troublesome is that the space inside this metal box is more densely encrypted. I can't perceive what's inside. It's like a huge machine. Although the inside is invisible, it is actually working."

Sirin (Kiana) knocked on the metal box: "This technology uses magic power, but compared to those magicians outside who are still studying their own power and making family heirlooms in a personal way... it is obvious that here The technology has reached the level of mass production and automation.”

"Use your space to cut." Kiyana (Sirin) suggested, "Usually you often tell me about your space cut, which can cut the material carried by the space instantly. If you want to cut into tofu, you can Cut it into tofu, and if you want to cut it into vermicelli, cut it into vermicelli?"

"That depends on the situation. The technology of this thing obviously involves affecting space. Of course, I can't divide the material from the space level..."

"Chicken."

"I think you're looking for trouble!"

"You two stop! Hurry up and stop!" Lei Dian Mei said with a headache, "There is time to quarrel there, but I still don't think about how to open this thing."

"Say my space cutting doesn't work, I'll let you see it today!"

Sirin (Qiana) sneered, raised her hand and waved her hand at the metal box in front of her, a distortion visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared in the space, and a dark and deep line condensed in the middle of the twisted ripples—not because of It itself is black, but because the material carrier is torn apart, the light cannot pass through the area of ​​the crack.

Without light, everything is naturally black.

It's just a little subtle... the space is crazily distorted ten centimeters away from the metal box, and there is a gap of about one centimeter from the outer wall of the metal box in the center of the blackness.

Sirin (Qiana) took a deep breath, blushed and increased the output of the Honkai power, the black crack finally spread to the metal box, and then disappeared suddenly, leaving a gap of about one centimeter. Deep, three-centimeter-long opening.

"Haha... how about it... it will be useful if you say it is useful!" Sirin (Qiana) laughed twice with her hips on her hips. Promoted: "It hurts so much! What did you do to my body?!"

"Get lost! This body is half the credit for me! What is your body!"

"Don't waste half of you! Ahhh, it hurts and I'm tired... You pretend to be a wolf with a big tail!"

Mei Lei and Karen looked at each other, sighed silently, then looked helplessly at the huge metal box in front of them. The thing like a runic compass on the door should be a strange door lock, but how to open it is a problem , or not at all.

Lei Dian Mei subconsciously thought of Siegfried: "Maybe let Qi Jun come over, and use his ability to open this door easily."

"Contact him later, Mei, since you can't open this, where did this book come from?"

Kallen curiously took out the "Magic Rune Theory Textbook".

"When I was looking here, I found that a box stopped working, and there were various items piled up in it... I wanted you to try to open these intact boxes, but now it seems that there is no way." Thunderbolt Mei After explaining, she turned her head to look at Sirin and Qiyana who were pinching themselves again, she couldn't help raising her brows, and gently persuaded, "Okay, okay, you two just calm down..."

"You rookie!"

"You mentally retarded!"

Lei Dian Mei laughed a few times with a stiff expression, and made a gesture of vain pressing with both hands: "Okay, okay, you all don't say a few words..."

"Unlearned fool!"

"Self-righteous bastard!"

The smile on the corners of Leiden Mei's mouth trembled, and his eyes narrowed into curved slits.

Crackling! !

After a burst of lightning and thunder, Mei Lei dragged Qiyana (Sirin), who was covered in black, and led the way towards the boxes that stopped working.

Most of the facilities in this building sealed underground are still in operation after an unknown number of years, but it is inevitable that some things have malfunctioned during operation, but no one has come to repair them.

The door lock like a compass on the failure of the facility has already lost its function, so Raiden Mei was able to remove the door before, and took out the book from inside, and in this malfunctioning box...

"A lot of books... Are these the ones kept in this metal box?"

Sirin temporarily stopped fighting with Kiyana in the space of consciousness. She snapped her fingers to summon a group of Houkai Energy that emitted purple light, and the light illuminated the contents of this huge box.

These are huge bookshelves, each shelf is full of books, and the metal bookshelves are engraved with the classification titles of the books. This kind of storage metal box keeps the books inside from being eroded by time. decay.

Ten thousand copies?One hundred thousand copies? 100 million copies?

The wide space was filled with metal bookshelves, and the passage left was enough for two people to pass through side by side, but it also seemed extremely narrow.

"Basics of magic power...basic knowledge of runes...applied runes...theoretical runes...rune mechanics...rune pharmacy..."

Karen walked slowly among the bookshelves, identifying the subject categories engraved on the bookshelves, and at the same time carefully took one or two books from the bookshelves and flipped through them... Sure enough, she still couldn't understand: "Sirin, these books..."

"As you can imagine, these are all the things that I recently led the group of magicians to study and calculate. Compared with us who are still putting forward hypotheses and verifying them in practice, these things are the obvious answers." Sirin (Qi) Yana) frowned, her golden eyes kept moving slightly, she took a book from the shelf from time to time, turned a few pages and put it back, then went to take the next one, she glanced at the information on the page with a serious expression , "Every book here is different, and some of them are simply blueprints of actual creations."

"Magic Empire Royal Road No. 2000 Street Mystery Publishing House... The Magic Empire collapsed in an unknown disaster [-] years ago. If you guessed correctly, this underground ruins should be the legacy of the Magic Empire, including these books, compared to those today. For magicians who know magic but don't know why, the cognition and exploration of magic here is obviously extremely profound, and the structure of runes is also obviously different-naturalized magicians generally believe that things like runes come from magic. Inherited from the empire era, it is a method of using magic power that was comprehended and created by the group of magicians who studied themselves."

Sirin (Kiana) took down a copy of "Origin of Runes", and she flipped through it: "And what is recorded in this textbook is—'the tools given to humans by the gods, a manifestation of the laws of nature'."

God? !Leiden Mei and Karen subconsciously thought of the situation on the previous planet, and they leaned over to read the "Origin of Runes". The chapters are all describing the origin of the runes, interspersed with stories quoted by the person who compiled the book and so on.

The three obviously couldn't appreciate the effect of the quotation, after all, they were not natives of this civilized culture, but this was not very important.

"What people here now know is that a huge disaster invaded the magic empire, causing it to perish in a short period of time. The original capital became the present Nightmare Plain, and then human beings were divided into large and small separatists. The forces fought against each other, and finally stabilized, forming the current situation..." Sirin (Qiana) glanced at the large number of bookshelves and books, "The Magic Empire seems to have made a lot of preparations, otherwise they would not need to bury a ruin underground , and stuffed with various things, I feel that the buildings on the surface of the planet must have something to do with the Magic Empire."

"Indeed...Generally speaking, this kind of research, private sorting, official research, etc., even if it is the same theory, there will be many books. The books here seem to be streamlined and effective, and basically have no content. Too many books overlaying each other."

Thunderbolt Yai pinched her chin and fell into deep thought: "It seems that before the destruction, the Magic Empire was ready to build such a place."

Karen thought of something. She ran over and opened the door.

"Knowledge, covering mathematics, runes, magic, materials, mechanics, a total of 220 million books..."

Then, the three of them continued to search here, but they couldn't find it. By identifying the words on the door, they determined what was sealed in each metal box. After looking around, they even guessed and speculated that the things kept here It seems that they are all tools of some technical products. Compared with the names in the books found, the functions of these things can be roughly guessed.
