Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 197 The Failed Search and the Dragon King's Clue

The Kassel Manor in the sunset is beautiful. The warm golden sun is projected onto the gray and white walls, showing a glazed texture. The shadows of the trees in the garden are reflected on the window panes with wooden frames, swaying with the wind. .

The manor is very quiet, the gate is unguarded, only thick iron gates and towering railings guard the former glory of this secret party.

Zheng Shu and the vice principal walked to the main entrance and looked at this gorgeous manor.

"I remember that this place should be a museum and a monument now?" The vice principal scratched the back of his head, recalling the materials he had read.

"That's right, let's go!" Zheng Shu nodded, opened the door first and walked in.

With the rusty creaking sound of the heavy iron gate, the two walked into this seemingly deserted manor.

"Is this kind of place actually empty? The secret party should at least send someone to guard it, right?" Zheng Shu looked curiously at the scene in the manor, even if the secret party only regarded it as a cemetery, at least A tomb guard should also be arranged.

"Of course there are people, but they're not here." The vice-principal tidied up his clothes. After all, it was also a holy place for the secret party. Under the coercion of the elders, he finally took off his stinky denim Instead of a suit, put on a suit that looks quite well-fitting.

"Every day, servants and gardeners come to the Cassel Manor to clean and clean up, but they have been notified before we come, so no one will disturb us today. As for the guards, you have actually seen them before. gone."

Hearing the vice-principal's words, Zheng Shu turned his head with some doubts. After thinking about it for a while, he finally thought of the biggest possibility: "You mean the toll booth on the road?"

What Zheng Shu was referring to was a tollbooth-like place they encountered at the end of the road. Their car was also parked there, but that location was at least ten kilometers away from where they were now.

"It's called the guard room, and he didn't charge us." The vice principal took Zheng Shu to the back of the manor with ease, "In order to protect the relics of the battle at that time, the Secret Party bought all the surrounding land. Otherwise, why do you think there is no road extension, because this piece of land is legally private land.”

"It's really rich and powerful." Zheng Shu, the corner of his mouth twitched, followed the vice principal to a sea of ​​flowers.

This is a huge garden with a lot of different flowers growing in it.By skillfully planting a variety of flowers with different flowering periods and different origins, we can ensure that the flowers in the entire garden will not fade all the time, and you will be intoxicated by the charming fragrance of flowers every second.

And surrounded by this sea of ​​flowers, a tombstone lay quietly among the wreaths.

——Hilbert Jean Angers, the hero of the Secret Party, is buried here. He faced the Dragon King without fear, and shed the last drop of blood for the Secret Party.

Looking at the inscription written in German on the tombstone, the vice principal hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Zheng Shu next to him, his voice trembling: "Are we really going to dig the grave?"

At the end of the day, the vice-principal felt entangled again. After all, the bones of the heroes who died in the summer mourning event were buried in the Kassel manor. They are not only heroes of the secret party, but also heroes of mankind.

Under the propaganda of the secret party for many years, the incident of mourning in summer has become a landmark event in the old and new eras, and its status is probably similar to that of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Even the vice-principal, if he wanted to dig such a grave, would feel entangled and afraid because of the moral condemnation in his heart.

The reason why Zheng Shu chose the vice-principal to act with him this time was also because other than the vice-principal, no one in the elders would agree with his crazy idea.

No matter how deviant the half-breed, it would be a serious insult.

"Of course, it's already come to this point, can you still expect me to stop?" Zheng Shu shrugged and walked to the tombstone, "Also, fortunately you came here with me, I don't understand morality. Wen, originally planned to dig all the graves..."

There are many tombstones like this around. Those who died in the Summer Mourning Event and whose bodies could be found were all buried under this garden, enjoying an eternal sleep.

Hearing Zheng Shu's outrageous words, the vice principal twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to do it.

"I'm really crazy, those old men from the group of elders will definitely bore me to death, let's go!" The vice-principal turned around and was about to leave.

"where to?"

"Of course, go to the utility room to look for tools like a shovel. The burial method here is very traditional. The coffin is buried at least one meter below the ground. You don't want to dig it with your bare hands, do you?"

Facing the vice-principal's question, Zheng Shu answered his question with his own actions.

Reaching out and knocking on the tombstone, Zheng Shu determined all the structures of the catacombs with the help of the perception returned by the vibration, and also confirmed that there were no corpses in the tomb at all.

"It's really a non-innovative way of hiding." Zheng Shu complained casually.

Stretching out his hand to grab the tombstone, Zheng Shu easily pulled out the tombstone weighing hundreds of kilograms under the stunned eyes of the vice principal. It looked as easy as pulling a branch out of the sand.

Throwing the huge tombstone aside, Zheng Shu lightly raised his foot and stomped on the edge of the entire tomb. The thick soil in the center of the tomb seemed to be dug up by an invisible excavator. One meter was more than two meters long and the length was more than one meter. The cuboid soil clod with a width of more than one meter and a thickness of more than one meter rose up out of thin air.

Zheng Shu grabbed the edge of the clod and lifted it up. The loose clod looked as if it had been glued together in his hands.

What appeared in front of the two of them was a hard metal plate, emitting a warm light under the brilliance of the setting sun.

"Okay, let's go down and have a look." Zheng Shu stood up and patted the dirt on his hands.

The vice-principal next to him looked as if his jaw had been dislocated, his mouth was wide open, and he stared dumbfounded at the clod of dirt thrown away by Zheng Shu in the distance.

As an alchemist, the vice-principal was so startled by Zheng Shu's unscientific and mystical digging method that his head was about to shut down. He finally recovered after Zheng Shu called him several times. Looking at the metal plate under the ground in a daze.

Fortunately, his professionalism as an alchemist played a role. After reacting, he immediately jumped into the deep pit and examined it carefully.

The so-called metal plate is actually a square cellar door, and the surrounding door frames are firmly embedded in the reinforced concrete wall next to it. It is unknown who built it.

"I kind of believe what you said now." The corners of the vice principal's eyes twitched a few times, and he sighed, "The alchemy protection on this is very familiar, and it's very likely that I set it up myself, but I don't have any relevant memories. "

"So you didn't believe me before?" Zheng Shu's eyes turned golden, and he looked carefully at the metal cellar door, "The substrate for burning the alchemy circle should be buried in the interlayer of the cellar door. Otherwise, there is a good chance that the contents inside will be damaged.”

"No." The vice-principal narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and kept sliding on the metal door, "What you see is a layer of traps, if someone wants to use this method to destroy the things inside, they will find this The alchemy circle is actually blasting outward."

Glancing at the vice-principal who had already taken out all kinds of odd and odd materials from his pocket, Zheng Shu narrowed his eyes again and took a closer look, finally finding the trap that the vice-principal said.

I have to admit that although I have been able to create the end point of alchemy: the Nibelungen, in many ways it is still inferior to the vice-principal's attainments in alchemy.

Following the vice-principal's fiddling, a spiritual wave invisible to the naked eye flashed on the cellar door, and then the wave shattered under the vice-principal's control.Reaching out to brush the dust off the cellar door, the vice-principal found the handle of the door after groping for a while on the metal plate:

"Let's go, let's see what's hidden under here." The vice-principal took a deep breath, and pulled the cellar door majestically, but there was no movement.

"..."

The situation seemed a bit awkward, the vice principal pulled the iron door again with some disbelief, this time it finally made the door shake, but soon stopped due to lack of strength, and finally the iron door only showed a gap.

Zheng Shu grinned, stepped forward to take the doorknob from the vice principal's hand, and pulled the cellar door open with force.

The moment the cellar door was opened, a gust of wind blew past the two of them and poured into the cellar, followed by a dull sour smell seeping out from the cellar, making people unable to hold their noses.

The vice-principal took out the windproof match that he carried with him, struck a match, and threw it in. The match fell into the depths of the cellar and continued to burn slowly until the whole match was completely burned out.

"It seems that the oxygen content inside should not be a problem." The vice-principal turned to look at Zheng Shu, "But it's clear that no one has been in for a long time, are you sure that Anger put his 'black box' in there?" Is it in here?"

"Don't worry, with Angers' eloquence, he can put things in before the smell inside is gone, and then run out." Zheng Shu turned on the flashlight and walked into the cellar on his own initiative.

The air in the cellar was cold and sticky, and under the light of the flashlight, the fine dust was flying in the beam of light like bugs.

Frowning, Zheng Shu endured the rotten smell inside and walked down the stairs at the door. The stairs were so narrow that only one person could pass, and the ground below was hidden in darkness, as if the wooden stairs had no end.

But for Zheng Shu, this level of darkness could not block his sight at all. He walked on the stairs easily, and the vice principal could only follow behind him and move forward step by step cautiously.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly endless stairs at the top reached the bottom after only a few steps. Zheng Shu held a flashlight and shone around the surrounding walls, looking a little curious: "I never knew that the Secret Party used to follow German shit."

"Germany used to be a reserve for secret party talents. After all, it is easy to produce outstanding talents in this land full of war and chaos, and the complicated political situation can also make it easier for mixed races to hide." Vice President Looking at the huge black eagle and the reverse swastika illuminated by the light, "After all, the so-called Kassel itself is a model of the German dragon-slaying family."

"As far as I know, the elders of the secret party were monopolized by the Germans, and the three elders were all famous German dragon slayers. disappeared completely.

In addition, in order to seek a chance of victory, the crazy Third Reich carried out cruel experiments after finding traces of the mixed race. It is said that the cruelty of the experiment shocked every mixed race that had been seen. The secret party, unwilling to get involved in politics, began to stand in front of the stage, and with the progress of World War II, the political center of the secret party continued to move southward, and finally came to the United States. "

The vice-principal talked eloquently about the relevant history, without the sloppy cowboy look of the past. As a generation of Flamel, his academic achievements still cannot be questioned by anyone.

The underground space is still not very big, the two of them groped a little and found an iron door underground.

This time, there was no alchemy circle protection on the iron gate, and Zheng Shu casually broke the iron bolt as thick as an arm.

"Are you... are you really human?"

The vice-principal fell silent looking at the metal latch broken by Zheng Shu. It was as thick as his arm, and even if a part of the surface was corroded by rust, it could not be destroyed casually, even with a large cutting machine. It also took a long time to cut, and the vice-principal even doubted whether he could move it.

"Don't be stupid, what else can I be if I'm not a human being." Zheng Shu didn't care about the vice principal's question, and opened the three-finger-thick protective iron door casually.

Hearing that the sound of the iron door sliding was a bit strange, the vice-principal quietly moved forward for a while and fell silent again... This thing is actually solid.

After opening the door, Zheng Shu and the vice principal were surprised to find that the space behind the door was surprisingly spacious.

They originally thought that the space behind this door was at most like a vault, but they didn't expect it to look like an empty hall.

The air was filled with the smell of dust and mist, but compared with the smell of corruption in the space before, it was very mild, and could even be called clean.

There are also some long tables and chairs in the hall, which seems to be a canteen.

There were several doors on both sides of the hall. Zheng Shu walked along the edge of the hall, holding the dusty doorknob, and pushed the door open.

The light of the flashlight shone in, revealing several bunk beds inside. It seemed that this place should be like a dormitory.

Zheng Shu and the vice principal looked at each other, and suddenly found that things here seemed more complicated than they imagined.

"What do you think might be the situation? Who will build a secret space under this manor." Zheng Shu continued to walk towards the next door.

"The sign we saw just now has actually told us the answer." The vice-principal turned the flashlight to the ceiling, where there was also the same sign, "Cassel Manor was built a long time ago, and then the Secret Party built it. There was indeed no underground space built at that time. So the answer is already very obvious, the only one that could build such a large underground space in a short period of time and make use of it was the Third Reich, which ruled Germany at that time."

Zheng Shu opened another room, and a cloud of dust rushed in. With the light of the flashlight shining inside, Zheng Shu and the vice principal could see the reflection of many ancient glass bottles and experimental instruments.

Obviously, this is a laboratory.

As soon as Zheng Shu stepped in, he was attracted by a layer of black dust covering the floor of the house. These things looked like coal debris.

And there is also a piece of charcoal on the experimental table, which is in the shape of a dying rabbit, which looks lifelike as if it is a work of a famous artist. Both the rabbit's hair and body shape are very delicate.

"Tsk tsk tsk, were the researchers in the Third Reich so leisurely? They still had time to practice carving techniques of this level." The moment the vice principal saw the charcoal rabbit, he immediately Habits have judged its value, "Although its value has dropped a lot because it was carved with charcoal, it has saved a lot of points in terms of craftsmanship because of its carving with charcoal, and it can be regarded as a good one if you take it out. art for sale."

"That's not a work of art. To be precise, it should be regarded as a 'corpse'." Zheng Shu came to a conclusion after carefully examining the charcoal rabbit on the experimental table.

"The water in the body was completely drained in an instant, and then suffered a huge amount of fire element baptism, but because there was no air around it, it couldn't burn, and finally it could only become this kind of charcoal-like form." Zheng Shu turned his head and looked To the vice principal next to him, "Don't you think this step is very familiar?"

"Line!" The vice-principal thought for a moment, then took a sharp breath, "Line will remove the moisture from all the substances in the field before releasing it. This is the trace left after the explosion of the release of the Rhine."

Zheng Shu nodded, but agreed with the reason why this basement appeared.

At the end of the Third Reich, due to the reversal of the offensive at that time, the upper echelons of the empire were so anxious that they did everything they could to reverse the situation. In history, there was even an attempt to use black magic to curse the leaders of the Allied Powers.

By the way, the Allied Powers at that time also had corresponding witch groups, which were used to conduct magic confrontations with the wizard groups of the Third Reich.Note 1
In order to reverse the decline and even use such obvious and nonsense things, the top leaders of the Third Reich at that time could be called a dog jumping over the wall, not to mention the exact existence of such forces as the Rhine explosion, of course they would not let it go.

However, Zheng Shu could also imagine how desperate those scientists would be when they came here, faced with the enormous pressure from above and the completely unscientific mysterious phenomenon in front of them.

Zheng Shu glanced roughly at the laboratory, confirmed that all the paper materials had been destroyed or taken away, and left the room, looking at the hall and frowning.

"What's wrong?" The vice principal came out of the room, still holding the charcoal rabbit in his hand.

"Although it seems that the harvest is good, we haven't found what we're looking for—where did the old Angers put his 'black box'?"

Then Zheng Shu and the vice-principal quickly searched the remaining rooms, but found that the remaining rooms were all storage rooms. After so many years, the smell of the things in them even forced Zheng Shu and the vice-principal to retreat. .

After searching until night, Zheng Shu and the vice principal finally found something rather strange.

"The traces of the fire here are obviously searched by someone. A normal fire should not be like this."

Zheng Shu and the vice principal returned to the laboratory again, squatting in front of a brazier and inspecting it carefully.When they evacuated, those researchers probably used this brazier to burn most of the materials, but the ashes in the brazier had obviously been rummaged by someone, and a large piece of the bottom of the basin was even exposed.

At this moment, the phone on the vice principal's body suddenly rang.After he went to one side to answer the call, his face suddenly became very serious, and Zheng Shu could hear the conversation between him and the other side through his extraordinary hearing.

"I found it. Through a carpet search, the janitors found a secret compartment in the cabinet of the principal's office. There was a memory card stored by Angers in it." The vice principal immediately returned to Zheng Shu's room after hanging up the phone. There was a strange emotion on his face.

"Okay! Then let's go back and have a look." Zheng Shu didn't continue to entangle here, and quickly left the basement with the vice principal.

However, when he was filling back the clods that had been thrown away at the beginning, Zheng Shu suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" The vice-principal was a little curious when he found that Zheng Shu had stopped what he was doing.

"The number of plant roots in this soil block is a bit too small." Zheng Shu glanced at the vice-principal who was a bit unresponsive, and could only sigh, and explained to him, "If the number of roots is small, it means that the soil here is It was refilled."

"But from the perspective of the plants, the height of the plants here is not much different from that of the plants on other tombs." The vice-principal frowned and glanced at the tomb next to it. There was also a low lawn on it. The gardener who was looking for was not lazy, and he took care of all the tombstones very neatly.

"Yes, this means that the person who backfilled the soil has the ability to make plants grow quickly." This sentence just passed through Zheng Shu's heart, but he didn't say it out.

He originally thought that Angers discovered the basement, but now it seems that the person who discovered the basement was not Angers, but the other party should also be able to use the words of the wind king.

Do not!wrong!

Zheng Shu, recalling all the scenes he saw in the basement just now, denied his thoughts.

"The falling dust on the ground did not leave any traces, which shows that the opponent's manipulation of time is far beyond Angers, plus the accelerated growth of plants."

Zheng Shu thought quickly in his heart, and unconsciously licked the corner of his mouth: "With Anger's ability to control the language, there is only one existence in this world that can surpass him: the king of sky and wind——Li Wuyue. "
