"A control hub for a rune mechanism?"
Gray has not come into contact with many rune items, but they are not too few. Noble families will have some rune items more or less, such as drying rooms for quick drying of clothes, rune lamps for night lighting, and heaters for heating in winter. etc.
And both the original Fergus Castle and the newly built Fergus Castle are equipped with rune mechanisms.
Of course, it is just the simplest rune mechanism, with no attack ability. It only has the functions of switching on and off the rune lights in the passage, or opening the exit of the escape passage.
Ordinary rune masters can only do this. If you want to have a certain attack power, you must ask a rune master to take action. If you want to have strong attack power, you must ask a master among rune masters to take action.
The cost is really high, and these things require personal connections. The Fergus family did not have relevant personal connections when they built the castle, so after considering it, the Fergus family finally decided to only hire ordinary rune masters.
The metal plate in front of him seemed to him to be the control of a rune mechanism.
Gray reached out and touched the metal plate, and then a trace of blood power was poured into a pattern on the metal plate.
There was no reaction. When the power of blood was poured into it, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any reaction.
Gray was not discouraged, and the power of blood was re-infused into another pattern.
After changing more than 10 lines in succession, there was still no change at all, just when Gray was about to give up.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the space in the secret room shook slightly, and then Gray saw that on the innermost side of the secret room, where there should have been no gaps at all, there was actually a boulder weighing tens of tons rising, and finally there was a strange place that could allow two people to pass through. Door leaf.
"And the secret room!"
Gray's eyes narrowed slightly.
Originally, he was curious about why there was only one secret room like this in a place guarded by a powerful agency. It was really a bit abnormal. Now it seemed that there were not other secret rooms, but the entrances to these secret rooms were covered up.
Through the door, Gray looked inside.
Behind the door is a huge room. The room is very exquisitely built, with murals on the walls, rune lamps above the head, all of which have been lit. There are white jade stone pillars around it, and there are also stone carvings.
Gray walked in and looked around. The more he looked around, the more he felt that this place was not like a secret room, but like a castle hall.
"It's actually built like this. Could it be that someone once lived here for a long time?"
Gray was very curious about what kind of person actually wanted to live in a dry well.
Looking around the underground hall, he quickly discovered many rooms connected to the hall.
Pushing open the almost rotten wooden door, he walked into a room on the left. It was a room similar to a conference room. The room was filled with tables and chairs, but they were all rotten.
Enter a room on the right. It is a large room with a kitchen counter and pots and pans. This is a kitchen.
After walking some distance, another room appeared, and Gray opened the door and walked in.
Facing him was a huge bed, and there were several wardrobes on the left and right sides of the room. This should be a bedroom.
After searching the room and finding nothing, Gray continued to move forward and saw another door again.
Although this door is made of wood like other rooms, the wood used seems to be extremely special. Even after such a long time, there are no signs of decay.
"They actually use special wood as the door. What's inside?"
Curious, Gray opened the door and walked in.
What caught the eye was a room that was not too big. There were two rows of bookshelves in the room, and hundreds of leather-bound books were sparsely placed on the bookshelves.
Not being cleaned for a long time left the bookshelves and these leather-bound books covered in dust.
Gray walked over, carefully brushed off the dust on one of the leather-bound books, and took out the leather-bound book.
"Physical power!"
This is the title of the book, which seems to be an introduction to physical type abilities.
"I wonder if the paper is decayed?"
From the name alone, Gray could tell that the value of this book must be quite high. After all, this is a book about physical abilities. Whether it was in the empire period or the kingdom period, books on this kind of content were all Extremely precious.
He was a little worried that the paper in this book might be rotten.
He carefully opened the pages of the book, and then breathed a sigh of relief. The pages were severely yellowed, but they were not rusty. Although the words recorded on them were a little dim, they were still legible.
Obviously these papers have been processed, and the special door outside has a strong effect of isolating moisture, which also prevents the paper from decaying to a certain extent.
Gray checked other books and found that some of these books had decayed due to poor paper quality, while the paper used in some books was similar to the paper used in the book of physical abilities and had not decayed due to this.
Putting the dozens of uncorrupted books into the purple ring with great value, and after searching for more and finding no other results, Gray left the room.
Ahead, we have reached the end of the room, but at the end, there is a corridor two or three meters wide.
The corridor is more than a hundred meters long, and there is a silver metal door at the end. Even after so many years, the door still shines silver under the light, with no trace of decay.
Gray walked towards the corridor and just took a few steps inside.
Uh-huh!
Suddenly, Gray felt a green light flash before his eyes, heading straight towards him. The speed was so fast that he had no time to avoid it.
He only had time to metalize his body before he was hit by the green light, and then his body flew out uncontrollably and flew into the hall outside the corridor.
Gray lowered his head and looked at his chest. At his chest, the aristocratic clothes on his body were completely torn to pieces. Under the clothes, on the bronze skin, a deep wound appeared, and a large amount of bright red blood spilled out.
He's seriously injured!
Gray couldn't believe it. Even the attacks of wild-blood warriors on the battlefield were hard to inflict serious injuries due to their strong defense. He was actually seriously injured under the green light just now.
Although the power of that blue light was not as destructive as a wild blood warrior using blood skills, it was not far behind.
"What a powerful rune mechanism!"
At that moment, Gray noticed that in addition to the green light, rune patterns were flashing in the entire passage, on the walls and even on the ground. It was obvious that there was a rune mechanism in that passage.
And it is certain that the rune mechanism is powerful if it can inflict strong defense such as his serious injury in an instant.
The rune mechanism in front of me is even more powerful than the last rune mechanism in the King's Cemetery.
If we really want to compare, the power is probably comparable to that of the large rune mechanism at the outermost edge of the King's Cemetery.
"In such a small space, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be possible to prepare such a powerful rune mechanism!"
Holding back the pain, Gray looked into the passage and immediately understood why there was such a powerful rune mechanism.
The walls, roof, and floor on both sides of this passage are all made of purple jade material, and this material is the top rune material purple gold stone.
The extremely luxurious rune mechanism made entirely of purple gold stone, no wonder it must have such power.
"The rune mechanism is made of purple gold stone to protect it, and the door is made of silver metal. It has not decayed even after an extremely long time. What is in this room?"
Gray looked at the silver metal door in the depths. To be protected by such a powerful rune mechanism must be an extremely precious and precious thing.
"I'm afraid this is the real secret room. The secret room outside is just a place to hide from others!"
Obviously, the most valuable thing must be the secret room outside behind the silver metal door. It is just a fake secret room to cover up the existence of this secret room.
The fake secret rooms all contained the blood of king-level blood beasts. It was hard for Gray to imagine what kind of things would be in the real secret rooms. Even if there were silver-level magic weapons in them, Gray would not doubt it.
"My strength is not enough to get close to that silver metal door..."
Staring at the silver metal door, Gray's eyes kept flickering, and he finally shook his head helplessly.
"Even if my strength reaches the second level of barbarian level, I'm afraid I still can't do it..."
Just the outermost attack has such terrifying power. Gray estimates that the power of the rune mechanism deep in the corridor may be even stronger.
“You’ll know after you try it!”
Gray took out a battle axe, which was a bronze-level magic weapon, but its quality was only average among bronze-level weapons. It was one of his trophies on the battlefield.
Using his metal ability, Gray controlled the battle ax and flew inside quickly.
The next shocking scene appeared in front of him.
Swish, swish, swish!
Blue rays of light appeared one after another, chopping at the tomahawk. The ax was rolled around, first hitting the ground, then bouncing up and hitting the side wall...
Control its trajectory with difficulty and let it move deeper into the channel.
As the battle ax goes deeper inside, the number of cyan rays becomes more dense and the color becomes darker.
Keng!
The metal handle of the battle ax actually broke under the attack.
Gray continued to control the broken battle ax to fly inside.
Clang, clang!
In the end, the entire tomahawk was chopped into countless small metal pieces and scattered on the ground.
A bronze-level magical weapon was actually damaged like this, sending chills down Gray's back.
No matter how strong his defense was, it would never be comparable to a bronze-level magic weapon. Even bronze-level magic weapons were chopped into pieces, let alone him.
"It should be difficult to break through the existence of the second level of the desolate level. Only the third level of the desolate level has some possibility. To be absolutely sure, I am afraid that only a king-level warrior can do it."
