The mage arrives

"I'm Rivet 050, you two, welcome to the master's underground castle."

Looking at the tall metal man in front of him, Gordon showed a helpless smile: "Hello, Mr. Rivet 050."

After passing through the gate and entering an underground complex with well-connected and complex structures, within half an hour, Gordon and Jier encountered another iron guy.

Gordon suspected that the entire building complex was under the magical surveillance of the mysterious owner, so although he was very cautious and careful, he was discovered not long after.

But this is to be expected.

"I am Rivet 050. I have no gender. There is no need to use a gender-specific title of 'Mr.' before my name. This is unnecessary." The metal man said in a smooth and emotionless voice, "Please follow me .”

"Okay, Rivet 050." Gordon nodded.

"That... Rivet 050, where are we going?" Jier asked tentatively, looking at the unique appearance of the metal man with a curious look on her face.Although she was born in a noble family like Phoenix, being able to speak and having intelligent constructs is still very new to her.

"In the underground laboratory, most of the areas are not suitable for living creatures like you. There is only one place, which was used by the Sun Elf army during the previous war, and has the necessary conditions to guarantee your life. You can live with the previous Like the guests, stay there temporarily. The master will come to see you after work. He has not communicated with the outside world for a long time. The information you bring may be very useful to him."

Following Rivet 050 through a corridor, Gordon and Jill came to a three-person-high metal gate.On the rusty door panel, those patterns and patterns have long been blurred. Gordon can only infer from experience that behind the door is the stable where the sun elves placed cavalry mounts underground.

Rivet 050's heavy, powerful metal arms pushed open the rusted gate.There was a creak.After the sound of an old lady grinding her teeth, the iron door opened.As soon as Gordon and Jier walked in, a stench came over their faces, making them frown.The clean noble lady took out her handkerchief and covered her nose.

Gordon is no stranger to this stench.When he was on earth, when he and his girlfriend went to the zoo for a date, he could often smell this kind of smell-a special smell formed by the mixture of animal body odor, feces, and sweat.

"You two, is there a problem?" Rivet 050 asked as Gordon and Jier's expressions changed suddenly.

"Nothing," Gordon said.The other party has no sense of smell.Of course there is no smell.Complaining about air quality issues with construct creatures is purely a pain in the ass.

Walking into the long and narrow room, under the illumination of the dim yellow magic lights on the ceiling, Gordon could clearly see the scene inside.

"No wonder it smells so bad. It turns out that it's a place where animals are raised." Gordon secretly thought.

on both sides of the channel.Thick iron railings separate the space into individual cages.Inside the cage are all kinds of animals.Winter wolves, foxes, frost bears, tigers, deer, badgers... most are common beasts in the Coldmist Mountains.

But there is one thing in common.It is these animals that are raised.They are all filthy creatures infested by the fierce fog!

"This is the experimental animal breeding area." Rivet 050 seemed to see the doubts in Gordon and Jier's mind, and explained, "There is also the second breeding area. However, in yesterday's accident, the second breeding area collapsed, including The three experimental animals, including the filthy rat, all escaped. Piston 363 is responsible for leading the team to recover the experimental animals. I don’t know if they succeeded.”

Ji'er quietly pulled a corner of Gordon's mage's robe, and pleaded softly, "Go, it stinks here..."

Gordon wanted to observe it again, to see if he could see it.What is the purpose of that mysterious owner keeping these filthy creatures in captivity.However, the smell in the first breeding area was really bad, so he decided to ask directly if he had the opportunity in the future.Too lazy to endure the stench any longer, he took Jier, followed Rivet 050, and quickly left here.

After throwing the pungent stench behind them, Gordon and Jill heaved a sigh of relief.Rivet 050 glanced at the relieved two people, shook his head and said, "It's really a fragile and imperfect body."

Gordon was not in the mood to argue with this big man about the merits of organic and inorganic life.They continued on their way, passed through the passage again, and walked into a huge underground space with an area of ​​20 square meters and a height of more than [-] meters.

"Passing through here, we will arrive at our destination soon." Rivet 050 said in his metallic voice.

The construct is not affected in the slightest by entering the new environment.But Gordon and Jill were different.

"What the hell is this place? I just got rid of the unbearable stench, why is there such a strong smell of blood here?" Ji'er frowned her delicate eyebrows and looked around.

In this underground space, it seems that a fierce battle of legendary strongmen once took place. The walls are full of potholes and cracks caused by the violent impact of giants.The flat floor, which was originally paved with granite with a side length of about two meters, seemed to have been smashed inch by inch by a giant hammer of thousands of kilograms, and the ground was covered with gravel powder.

What's even more frightening is that red and black blood is sprayed all over the ceiling, floor, and walls, just like a bloody abstract painting by a twisted and sick author.

"Oh my God! Look, what is that?" The blond young lady clutching her nose suddenly tugged on Gordon's robe, and pointed at a few constructed creatures not far away that looked like rivets 050 and were cleaning. Said.

They are pulling a huge severed limb out of the subterranean space.

Gordon took a look at the severed limb with thick black hair, which was about three meters long, made some calculations in his heart, and took a breath.

The creature with that severed limb is about the same size as an adult dragon!

Glancing at the huge severed limb, the bloody section made Jier sick for a while, she dared not look any further, and asked Rivet 050, "What happened here?"

Rivet 050 seems to have no concept of secrecy at all, or in other words, what happened here is not a secret in its view, it said: "The fusion test conducted by the master last night failed, and the experimental creature Cerberus II failed because it could not bear Due to the huge mental pressure, he exploded and died. And before he died, he caused tertiary structural damage to the entire underground complex, and also triggered a small-scale earthquake."

"...It turns out that the culprit who caused the chaos last night was the mysterious owners of these constructed creatures." Knowing the truth, Gordon became even more curious.

The filthy creatures were kept in captivity, various biological experiments were carried out, metal plates were installed in the bodies of the filthy creatures... and even "fused" with some huge unknown creatures... a large group of intelligent construct creatures were created, living Under the Danzig ruins...

This kind of existence who lives in a place forgotten by the world, has outstanding attainments in many arcane fields, and is almost like an expert outside the world, really makes people want to see it.

After Rivet 050 led Gordon and Jier out of this messy underground space, Gordon felt that the surrounding environment suddenly changed a lot.

The light on the ceiling is no longer the dim yellow that was too dim for the eyes to get used to, but has turned into a bright white light.The air becomes fresher, almost as much as the surface - and to do this deep underground requires a well-built and efficient ventilation system.The surrounding walls are clean and tidy, unlike the rough passage just now, where water leaks can be seen from time to time, and there are even dark corners with moss growing.

It's really a very livable environment.

"Welcome to the residential area. Although there have been almost no guests staying here for more than 1000 years since the end of the war, the facilities are still in good working condition. You can rest as you like. After the fusion failed last night, the master It needs a period of rest. When the master recovers, he will come to talk to you. The master is very interested in the changes in the outside world." Rivet 050 said.

Listening to what it said, after communicating with that mysterious master, it should be able to leave here freely.

After Rivet 050 introduced the situation of the residential area to Gordon and the others, he left with clanging metal steps.

This residential area has ten independent rooms, five large dormitories that can accommodate 200 people, in addition to warehouses, restaurants, toilets, bathrooms and other facilities, which can supply the daily life of 1000 people.In the army establishment of the Sun Elf Empire, 1000 people happened to be a squadron.

The ten independent rooms should have been exclusively used for the Sun Elf commander's residence back then, and they were very luxuriously built. Although they have gone through thousands of years, they are still well preserved.

The double bed carved and cast from a whole log is as clean as new, free from dust, and even faintly exudes the unique fragrance of wood.The wall is full of natural and artistic hollow decorations. Looking at the complicated design, it must take a lot of effort to make it.This made Gordon sigh, the sun elves are indeed a race that is so delicate and perfect that it is almost paranoid.

You said that you are facing the situation of urban invasion and underground resistance, but you still spend so much energy on these useless places.

For pragmatist humans, this is simply unimaginable.

It is no wonder that the once powerful Sun Elf Empire will retreat steadily in front of the rising Netherdulan Magic Empire.

Gordon picked a room at random as a place to rest, and Gordon breathed a sigh of relief.At least it feels more secure to rest here than in the wild Danzig Ruins, which is full of dangers and needs to be vigilant at any time.

Jier also chose her own room, and then the two of them were going to go to the dining room to have a look.

"Big Beard, can you share some of the wine with me? I eat bacon and bread all day long, and my tongue is almost numb...It's a pity that Gregor is no longer here, otherwise, with his craftsmanship, eating would not be a waste of time. Painful experience."

"Hmph, little girl, don't even think about trying to get me to drink!"

A familiar voice came from the dining room, and Gordon smiled knowingly: "Sure enough, I guessed right, it's the dwarves Grago and Sera." (To be continued...)
