The faint blue lake water overflowed his ankles, and Angel could see ripples on the surface of the lake, but there was no wet feeling under his feet, instead, there was a frivolous feeling of stepping into the void.
Looking across the lake, he could see the swaggering water plants at the bottom of the lake, but he couldn't see his own feet. The lake, like a mirror, separates the two worlds.
The whole body was soaked, and when Angel opened his eyes, he had come to the foot of a magnificent peak.
Behind him is a door leading to nothingness, and in front of him is a mountain-climbing road.
Angel stood at the foot of the mountain, took out the record card, and entered a little magic power into the hole in the center of the card. The next moment, a straight red light flashed from the round hole, reaching the sky.
At that time, Baisi told him that as long as the magic power was input, there would be a red light, and this red light was the signal to summon the Iron Fortress.
As for what the Iron Fortress is, and where his Xenopus laboratory is, Baisi remained silent, just left a sentence: "We will know when the time comes."
So make a fool of yourself. Angel remembered how he answered Baisi at the time, and now he has the same idea when he sees the red light.
The red light pierced the sky, and Angel stood in front of the door of nothingness. After waiting for less than 10 seconds, he heard the sound of "bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!".
The clanging sound was getting closer and closer, accompanied by the whistle of the train.
"Could it be a train? But listening to this sound, the speed is too fast." Angel murmured in his heart, and his eyes were looking left and right, but he did not see any traces of railroad tracks.
Just when Angel frowned, a gray-blue smoke suddenly appeared from the lush mountainside.
Then, a tin house with long feet jumped out from the mountainside. Every time the tin house moves, the tin sheets outside the house, like patches, will make a "bang bang bang bang" collision sound.
The tin hut stepped on the slender iron legs and rushed towards Angel from the mountainside.
At this time, Angel also noticed that the whistle of the train came from the chimney of the tin house.
The Tin Hut only ran a few steps, then flew down like a kite, and finally landed firmly in front of Angel.
Angel was still in a daze, the iron frame bent down, the door of the iron house was pushed open, and an old lady wearing a blue and white dress, hunched over, and covered in silver threads, came out.
Don't look at the slow pace of old lady Yin, but her figure is very flexible. She jumped from the tin house in three or two and landed in front of Angel.
"Who are you?" Angel used honorifics.
The old lady Yin said kindly: "You are Angel, come and come, let mother-in-law take a good look at you."
The old lady Yin looked up and down carefully. Angel was a little embarrassed to be looked at, and he didn't know if he should move.
"Sure enough, he is a good boy. He is handsome and has a soft personality. It's a pity to leave it to Sanders. In fact, you are more suitable to follow Wallace." Mrs. Yin motioned for Angel to follow her: "The child of Baisi has already Say hello to me, and for the next five years, you can use the record card to be the source of flow."
When old lady Silver climbed to the iron house, she turned around and realized that Angel hadn't climbed the iron castle.
"Come up?" Mrs. Yin urged.
Angel stood under the tin hut and said suspiciously: "Old lady, what should I call you?"
Boss Yin said "Oops" and patted the group of silver: "Look at me, why did you forget to introduce yourself. I am the caregiver of the Ironclad Fort and the watchman of the entire source of flow." She He patted the shell of the iron house, "This is the Ironclad Fort. If you want to go to your own laboratory in the future, you can call me, and the Ironclad Fort will send you there."
"And me, you can call me Tiejia Granny. My name has long been forgotten."
After the iron-clad mother-in-law finished speaking, she signaled Angel again to board the iron-clad fort. This time, Angel did not refuse, but entered the tin house with good deeds.
"It's your first time here, so I'll take you there slowly and tell you the rules of the source of flow." Granny Tiejia motioned for Angel to sit down.
There are three floors in the tin house. The first floor where Angel is located is full of various things, including mechanical parts, as well as fresh flowers and bread. The items are very complicated but not messy. There is a square wooden table in the middle, covered with a blue and white checkered tablecloth, and two cups of hot tea are still smoking.
"Come, drink tea." Granny Tiejia pushed the tea in front of Angel.
Smelling the scented tea with roses, Angel hesitated for a while, then waved his hand: "Thank you, mother-in-law, I'm not thirsty now."
Granny Tiejia didn't persuade her too much, she sipped her tea slowly, and took a long sigh: "The source of flow, there are a total of 138 Xeno Labs, but only 36 places are currently open to the public, you are now 36 One of the places."
"And there are 102 Xenometry laboratories?" Angel asked in confusion.
Granny Tiejia smiled and asked without answering, "Do you know how many official wizards there are in our Savage Cave?"
Angel recalled. He remembered that when he first entered the Savage Cave, Abley once said in the resource hall: "118 people?"
Granny Tiejia shook her head: "When you first entered the Savage Cave, there were 118 people. But within a year, 11 of the official wizards of the Savage Cave died, 3 defected, and 3 were voluntarily asked to leave. One more person has been promoted. Therefore, there are currently 1o2 official wizards in the Savage Cave."
After the iron-clad mother-in-law finished speaking, Angel immediately realized the ownership of the 1o2 Xenomorph laboratories, which must be these 1o2 official wizards. But more than these, Angel is more concerned about the data that seems to be an understatement, but may be bloody afterward.
In one year, 11 official wizards died, but only one was promoted. Angel suddenly felt a chill down his spine. In terms of the number of wizards, this was a complete negative growth.
No wonder, the huge wizarding world is not known to mortals.
Because there are really too few wizards. Moreover, according to this ratio, there may be fewer and fewer.
Angel put away these unnecessary thoughts and said in a low voice, "Is that 1o2 laboratories just for official wizards?"
Granny Tiejia shook her head: "Of course it's not a quota. These 1o2 laboratories are a gift from the organization directly to the official wizard."
"Whenever a wizard dies, your wizard apprentices will have one more quota. Quotas are for you." After the iron-clad mother-in-law said, she took out a map and pointed out the laboratories where 102 official wizards are located. Lai: "Although there are less than a handful of people in these 102 laboratories, you should never step into these areas. Many wizards will set traps outside the laboratory, which is not something you can afford today."
Angel nodded yes.
"Your laboratory can be used as you like, but if there is an explosion or damage, you must compensate for it." Granny Tiejia sipped the mellow rose tea and explained the rules of the source of flow one by one.
"... Apart from the above, there are basically no other rules to pay attention to. Oh, and one more point, if you want to bring friends in, you must follow you at any time, otherwise there is no record card in the mountains and forests, and no one will be in danger. Go save me." Granny Tiejia said this, and pointed to Angel's chest with a smile.
In the lining of Angel's wizard's robe, Toby was sleeping in his chest pocket on all fours.
Angel smiled and said, "Got it."
"Okay, we're here. In the future, whether you leave or come in, you can call the Tiejia Fortress to carry you." Granny Tiejia walked to the second floor with slow steps: "I won't send it away, there are hundreds of people nearby. There is no one within a mile radius. No one will see any signs you want to play, don't worry."
After the mother-in-law Tiejia said this "intimately", she disappeared at the corner of the stairs.
Angel touched the back of his head, showing an embarrassed expression. It seems that the dark cloud that he created in the apprentice town has already spread, and even a humble person like Granny Tiejia has heard of it.
However, the reminder from the iron-clad mother-in-law reassured Angel. The space props he immediately refined could be promoted to the intermediate level if there were no accidents. When the omen comes out again, it will be troublesome.
—Although Alchemy Omen is not really a master, it is rare after all, and the barbarian cave can only be seen two or three times a year. If, with Angel's alchemy degree, coupled with the high completion of enchanted alchemy, strange signs will appear after a long time, and the strange signs will be different from time to time, then it may turn from a small matter into a big one.
Angel was extremely grateful to Baisi at this time, and he could do it with confidence and boldness in alchemy in the source of flow.
Not to mention that there is no one in the radius of a hundred miles, even if there are people, they will not break into other people's laboratories at will. This is the basic principle of the source of flow.
…
The laboratory marked No. 13 is about ten meters high. It is a compound three-story castle-like building, but like the Iron Fortress, it is made of iron.
In addition to the grand appearance, the interior design is also full of ingenuity.
The upper three floors are daily residences. Angel strolled around, and the basic furniture and decorations were all available. The basement is designed as a laboratory, covering an extremely wide area, and it is divided into dozens of blocks, which belong to different professional designs. Even the tools used by tailors can be found here.
Angel found the area of alchemy. This area alone is ten times the size of Angel's laboratory. The tools and equipment are also more advanced than those used by Angel. Angel just couldn't put it down just by looking at the engraving pen that can be added.
After putting on a dust removal technique and checking the magic energy settings in the house, Angel woke Toby after confirming that there were no oddities and traps.
Toby took out all the materials stored in Snowy Feather, and Angel moved the materials one by one to the material area. In the material area here, there are several different flower houses and botanical gardens, among which there are equipment that can gather outside sunlight, and cultivation cabins that can be used for observation. It can be said that considering the uniqueness of various materials, just this, Angel I feel like I have earned it.
