This basement was transformed from a natural cave. Most of the cave's original shape was retained. Only some support columns were added in some key places. Torches and fire pots were placed on the support columns and some walls. It should be

It was used for lighting, but because of its age, the wood inside was still decaying.

Leo and Sylvia walked along a short set of stone steps for a short distance and came to a small hall.

This hall is quite large, built like a banquet hall in a certain castle. There is a huge stone brazier in the middle, with three stone sculptures standing around it. The hall is surrounded by four small rooms of the same size. The rooms have no doors.

But there is a blue barrier similar to an energy barrier that forms a wall to seal the room, but the things inside the room can still be seen.

I saw that those rooms contained a study room, a laboratory with a large number of alchemical equipment, a bedroom and a storage room.

"It seems like this was someone's secret base at that time!" Seeing the scene in front of her, Sylvia said with a smile.

"Being able to build such a secret base and maintain the energy for such a long time, it seems that the identity of the owner of this secret base is not simple!" Leo briefly analyzed it and said: "I hope there are some valuable things left here.

.”

At this time, Sylvia stepped into the hall, and Leo, who was following behind, suddenly felt that the calm energy in front of him was suddenly activated, and then rushed towards the three stone statues next to the brazier like a tide.

.

"Be careful, there is something wrong with those three stone statues." Leo handed the torch to Sylvia, walked forward quickly, activated the enhanced neural network on his body, and said to Sylvia: "Help me from behind.

alert."

While speaking, the three stone statues shook almost simultaneously and slowly stood up from the ground.

Leo knew very well that the three stone statues were probably something like warning robots. Naturally, he would not wait for the three stone statues to be ready to attack, so he kicked the ground hard with his right leg, and the stone slab under his feet was also huge.

It shattered under the force of the force, and followed him like a cannonball as he rushed towards a stone statue.

The stone statue did not enter the fighting state at all, and was punched on the waist by Leo, who was wearing twin fist gloves.

The force transmitted from the glove was like some kind of heavy artillery shell, breaking the waist of the three-meter-tall stone statue, and the upper and lower body parts were carried away by the remaining force. It hit the other side.

He hit the stone statue on one side and knocked it to the ground.

Leo, who succeeded in the attack, did not stop there. He moved his body laterally and knocked down another stone statue that was not affected.

This stone statue seemed to have entered an attack state, and when Leo approached, he punched Leo in the head.

Although the fist was powerful and heavy, the speed was too slow. Even if the enhanced neural network was not activated, it would be very easy for Leo to dodge such an attack, not to mention the enhanced neural network.

Leo tilted his head slightly to avoid the stone fist that was thrown at him, and then his fist, which was already full of power, hit one of the legs of the stone statue, directly breaking the leg.

Losing the support of one leg, the stone figure fell to the ground, and Leo moved around to avoid the fallen stone figure. At the same time, his fists followed the rotation of his body and punched the head of the stone figure with one punch.

The whole thing was smashed to pieces.

Leo, who had dealt with two stone statues, was about to deal with the third one when Sylvia had already drawn out her staff sword and cut the stone statue in half.

After sensing that the energy on the three stone statues was dissipating rapidly and could no longer form a driving force for movement, Leo picked up the torch on the ground and was about to check if there were other means of defense around him, but he found Sylvia at this time

His expression seemed a little serious, so he asked: "What's wrong?"

"There is something wrong with my staff sword." Sylvia looked at the staff sword in her hand and said: "It is not as sharp as before, and I feel that the power in the staff sword is weakening and losing, and many abilities cannot be used.

.”

"It seems that this staff sword, like some of the powers in my body, will also be affected by different worlds." Leo took the staff sword from Sylvia's hand, inspected it carefully, and said, "You

It is best not to use this staff sword anymore, otherwise if all the power inside is lost, the staff sword may be irreparably damaged."

"Yeah!" Sylvia responded helplessly. She finally got a sharp weapon. She had just become familiar with it and got used to it, but she couldn't use it. This made her really unhappy.

"Where's the hand crossbow?" Leo asked again attentively.

"Hand crossbow? It should be fine, right? You used it just now." Sylvia hesitated for a moment, her tone was not so sure, she took off the hand crossbow hanging from her waist and checked it, her slightly furrowed brows showed that the situation seemed to be different.

Not so good, "It can only be used as an ordinary hand crossbow, and the extraordinary power inside cannot be used either."

Leo comforted her and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if you can't use extraordinary power, this crossbow is still a powerful weapon in this world."

"Yeah!" Sylvia responded noncommittally, hung the crossbow on her waist, put the staff and sword back into the scabbard, transformed into a cane, then looked around and asked: "Is there anything else here?

Fortifications?”

Leo carefully surveyed the surroundings, felt the power around him, and said: "It should be gone. What we have to do now is to deal with these walls formed by extraordinary power."

"Let's start with... Hey, what is this?" Sylvia was about to go to the door of the collection room to find a solution to the wall, but she found a bright light flashing from the gravel on the ground, so she immediately stopped Lei.

Ou, squatted down, swept away the gravel, and found a gem the size of an eyeball from the gravel.

"It seems that we don't need to worry about money." Sylvia handed the gem in her hand to Leo, and then found similar gems from the other two piles of stone statue rubble.

Leo took the gem and looked at it, shook his head slightly, and said: "This should be the energy core of these stone figures. When the stone figures are destroyed, the energy core is also damaged. If you look carefully, there are already cracks in the gem.

I’m afraid it will be difficult to sell it at a good price.”

Sylvia didn't want to believe it, so she looked at the gem in her hand in the light of the torch, curled her lips helplessly, turned to look at the collection room, and said, "I hope there are good things in there."

The two of them walked outside the collection room. Through the transparent force field wall, they could see that there were more than a dozen boxes of various sizes neatly placed in the collection room. Not to mention that the dozen boxes were all treasures, as long as one box contained

By storing valuable things, they no longer have to worry about money matters.

Leo did not touch the seemingly harmless force field wall rashly, but picked up a stone on the ground and threw it towards the force field wall.

When the stone hit the force field wall, a spark immediately erupted, and then the stone was bounced away, with burn marks on the surface.

"With such miraculous extraordinary power, I really can't figure out how those elves were defeated by ordinary humans in Toussaint?" After seeing the effect of the force field wall, Sylvia couldn't help but wonder again.

Regarding this point, Leo was a little confused, so he didn't give any answer.

Leo picked up a few more stones from the ground, and then kept throwing them at the force field wall, stimulating the energy reaction on the force field wall. At the same time, he sensed the trend of energy fluctuations to find the details of the force field wall.

Soon he found the source of the force field wall.

"Are these the Turing roots of this world?" Sylvia looked at the mysterious patterns on the wall and asked Leo beside her.

"No, these not only contain the Turing root, but also the rune magic." Leo corrected his statement, and looked carefully at these patterns full of mysterious power, while holding these patterns and the diagrams he had mastered.

Compare the spirit root and the rune knowledge learned in Hushang Town.

Although the patterns on the wall are quite different from the extraordinary knowledge that Leo has mastered, the inner principles are all connected. Leo even doubts that the extraordinary power of this world is related to the Turing root of the Velen world and the talisman of Lake Town.

Literature and magic all come from the same source.

"Is this wall difficult to solve?" Sylvia asked when she saw Leo standing in front of the wall for a long time with his brows furrowed.

"No! These walls are easy to solve. I'm just memorizing the rules and details of the pattern magic above." Leo recovered from his contemplation, explained, and then asked Sylvia to wait a little longer and followed.

Continue to write down those things you haven’t written down yet.

After double-checking that nothing was missing, Leo signaled Sylvia to step back some distance, then used the power of nightmare to imitate the Arden Seal in the Witcher Seal, and placed a magic trap on the wall.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the wall crackling like a short circuit in the wires, and some energy sparks emerged. The surrounding force field walls also flickered brightly and darkly. Finally, as the patterned wall erupted with a dazzling energy light,

All force field walls disappear.

Seeing the effect of the Witcher's Seal in front of him, Leo couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. He felt that the person who created the Arden Seal was not only planning to use the Arden Seal to create traps, but also intended to use it to destroy the traps. It had to be said.

, using the Seal of Arden to destroy other traps and arrangements of extraordinary powers, the effect is unexpectedly good.

"It stinks!" After seeing the force field wall disappear, Sylvia couldn't wait to walk towards the collection room, but as soon as she entered the collection room, she covered her nose and quickly backed out.

Leo walked over and smelled a pungent odor, so he used his psychic energy to directly wrap the stench in the room, pull it out and throw it on the torch.

As expected, this stench contained flammable gas, causing the torch to emit twice as much light, illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime. However, the light soon weakened as the stench burned out.

and returned to normal.

After cleaning up the smell, Leo held a torch and entered the room. Although there was still some smell lingering in the room, it was much better than before.

"I don't have any hope for these boxes." Sylvia followed in and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the stench emanating from the boxes.

Leo reached out and opened the boxes one by one. He saw that there were some herbs inside the boxes, but these herbs had long been completely corrupted into dust. The smell of the corruption was blocked in the room by the force field wall and could not be dissipated.

That was the scene just now.

"Perhaps there is something we can gain from other rooms?" Leo comforted Sylvia, and then asked Sylvia to search the bedroom where the property was most likely to be, while he walked towards the alchemy laboratory.

Jivielle taught Leo the alchemy of the demon hunter and also taught him about alchemical equipment. When Leo was in Port Set, he specially made a set of equipment, and also designed some specially for his own needs.

Their functions were very specific, so when he saw these alchemy equipment in front of him, he didn't feel unfamiliar.

Although the equipment here is much more than the equipment used by the Witcher in alchemy, and there are several more equipment with unknown functions than the equipment he used in Port Set and the set of equipment in his storage space, but

The basic principles of use of these equipment are the same. Leo can easily identify the functions of these equipment and deduce the process of using the equipment when making various medicines.

In this room, except for the still well-preserved set of alchemy equipment, which is slightly valuable, there are only a few bottles of unknown potions on the table that may be worth some money. Of course, the efficacy of these potions must be known first.

Leo did not rashly remove the cork to check the effect of the medicine in the bottle. This was not only to guard against the danger of the medicine itself, but also to prevent the medicine from evaporating and weakening its effectiveness after the cork was removed.

Leo put away these bottles of medicine and planned to see if there was a pharmacist in Beauclair and let the pharmacist identify the effects of these bottles of medicine.

After putting away the potions, Leo carefully checked the room again and found nothing missing, then turned and went to the study next to it.

As Leo guessed, almost all the books in this room were completely damaged. On the surface, they seemed to be intact, but after picking them up, except for the covers, the pages were all reduced to fragments and dust.

Only a few books supported by tanned animal skins survived, but these books were written in a font he didn't recognize, and this font looked similar to the one that contained special powers.

The patterns should be exactly the same.

"It seems necessary to learn the Elvish language of this world." Leo put away the books in his hands, turned and left the study.
Chapter completed!
