Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 268 Thunder Pond

On the third floor of the underground palace, Ren and the others surrounded the black cat that collapsed on the ground in a coma, talking in low voices.

After listening to Gannix's narration, Ren asked in surprise, "You mean that little girl just now turned into this black cat?"

Ganix shrugged helplessly and said, "Although I also find it unbelievable, I'm afraid it is. Mr. Wren."

"."

Hearing this, everyone frowned and remained silent.

Ren also took a closer look at the rune chain, and was sure that it was the one locked around Naleta's neck just now.

Moreover, this big black cat with dark fur and smooth facial features was very familiar to him.

Because, on the walls of the third floor of the underground palace, there are such black cats on the stone carvings everywhere, and the number is not less than that of the dog head monster.

Judging from the content on the stone inscription, the origin of this cat is not simple. It is said that it is a "waiter" who often accompanies Death.

Before seeing Naletta, Ren thought that the black cat carved on the stone was a kind of monster or other creatures. But I don't want to, it's actually a human change?

And Guy was surprised for a moment when he saw Naleta turned into a black cat, and then seemed to think of something, and said, "I saw a record in the cave that recorded the legend of the 'Curse Clan' lineage. Perhaps, Beastization is the extraordinary power of this bloodline inheritance."

"It should be."

When Ren heard this, he nodded.

There is a "werewolf" Bazel beside him, so he is not too surprised that there are such demihumans in the world who can transform into beasts.

A good-natured little girl suddenly turned into a black cat, and the truth was right in front of her eyes. After a moment of shock, everyone accepted the reality.

Ren squatted down and checked the physical condition of "Naretta". As he expected, there was a "psychedelic potion" in her blood.

After injecting the "Awakening Potion", the rune chain was unlocked, and after a while, the big black cat slowly opened its eyes.

Naletta seemed to be sober after a hangover, her pair of jewel-like amber cat eyes were full of confusion, and she curled up instinctively.

But when she saw Guy not far away, she relaxed again.

But in the blink of an eye, she also noticed the strangeness in herself, and raised her hand to look at her paws with soft fleshy palms, a human-like frightened expression appeared on that delicate cat face.

In a panic, she uttered some low and strange words: "@Σ*\u0026#Ψδξ∮" (What's wrong with me?)

This is the "Ancient Demon Language".

Others could not understand this old saying, but Ren did.

He looked at Naletta who was at a loss, and responded: "#%*@ёжз" (Don't worry, it should be your blood power that turned you into a beast)

After saying this, the face of Naletta's transformed into a black cat suddenly froze for a moment.

The content of the speech was second, and what was even more shocking was that someone actually understood what he was saying?

It was the first time in so many years that she heard someone who could speak the same language as her.

On the other hand, Guy, Catherine, and Ganix on the side also showed surprise at the same time, and they all looked sideways at Ren.

Gannix on the side seemed to have discovered some new world gate, couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked, "Mr. Lane, can you speak cat language?"

Guy was also very surprised, although he knew that Naletta was not dumb, but could only speak a language that normal people could not understand.

Who would have thought that this Dr. Ren could actually communicate with her?

Ren smiled and explained: "This is not 'cat language', but 'ancient demon language'."

Ganix is ​​proficient in archaeology, obviously he has heard of this language, and he was shocked: "The language used by ancient demon gods to communicate in legend? Isn't that already lost in the mythical civilization?!"

A strange "cat" could speak the ancient devil language, but what he didn't expect was that the Mr. Wren he knew could also?

Hearing this, Catherine and Guy on the side also showed very incredible expressions.

Both of them are well-informed people, but they have never heard of any "polymath" in the two empires who is proficient in this language.

Where did this guy learn it from?

"Um."

Ren nodded without further explanation.

Turning around, he looked at the black cat who was still panicking.

Waking up and turning into a monster, no one would be able to accept it.

He explained to Naletta in the ancient devil language: "The power inherited from your 'Curse Clan' bloodline should be similar to that of a 'Werewolf'. Don't worry, you should be able to change back after you get familiar with it."

"Huh? A werewolf?"

Finally someone was able to communicate normally. Naletta looked at her hand. Although her eyes were still flickering with anxiety, she chose to believe his words.

Before "Black Wind Collar", Ren treated her injuries, and Naletta had a good impression of this doctor.

After thinking about it, she asked a little timidly: "I am of the blood of the 'Curse Clan'. Are you the same as me?"

"Our situation is different."

Ren simply explained a few words.

The two exchanged a few more words, and he found that because Naleta hardly communicated with others on weekdays, her knowledge of the world was extremely limited.

I have never heard of the "seventy-two gods".

However, now is not the time to give her popular science.

Apparently, Naleta turned into a black cat after entering the third floor of the mausoleum, probably due to "environmental factors".

Asked that she didn't feel any discomfort after "changing into a cat", Ren also tried to ask some questions in a guiding way, saying: "Do you remember why you changed? Also, do you think there is anything here that is interesting to you?" Is it special?"

Naletta: "I don't know, I just think, I seem to know this place, very familiar."

"What familiarizes you?"

"There are a lot of them here, I saw them, and they seem to be familiar."

"."

The one-person cat communicated in this way, and the low-pitched demon language, which made Gannix and the others next to them look dumbfounded.

Naletta felt that this underground palace was very familiar, but she was sure she had never been here before.

After hearing this description, Ren also understood that her inexplicable "familiarity" should also be the reason for the blood inheritance.

Now "touching the scene and feeling", reminded her of something.

It's a pity that his understanding of the "curse family" is very limited, and he only comes from a small passage in the goblin's material classics, knowing that her blood is a kind of psychic medium.

Didn't know she would transform, or any other

However, now it seems that Naletta must know more secrets in this mausoleum, Ren thought, and guided her to see a magical light gate in [Land of Inheritance].

Naletta looked at the engraving on the stone wall with "Black Cat Serving Death" and seemed to awaken some memories.

Naletta turned to the crowd and said, "I think there is something very important to me behind the magic door. I want to go in and have a look."

Ren listened with a strange expression on his face. He pointed to the balance in the golden kobold's hand and asked, "But it is written on the stone carving that you need to put your heart on the balance when you enter."

When Naleta heard this, she also showed puzzlement on her face.

Then, to Ren's surprise, she actually spoke a few words with the golden kobold he thought was a sculpture.

But instead of speaking normally, it was a beast-like roar, which even Ren didn't understand.

I don't know how they communicated, but Naletta understood anyway, and seemed to be still "bargaining".

"Is this golden dog head alive?"

Ren was startled and didn't notice any signs of life on the golden sculpture, so he couldn't help but think of those gargoyles.

He guessed that this golden kobold might also be a product of alchemy.

After the exchange, Naletta turned to Ren and said, "It said that I am the servant of Death, so I can go in."

When Ren heard this, the corners of his eyebrows twitched, that's it?

So there was no need to cut the heart open?

He asked, "What about the others? Can they go in too?"

Naleta shook her head, and said again: "Trialists must pass the test of the 'soul balance', otherwise they will die if they rush in."

Sure enough.

Ren also thinks it is reasonable, since it is a "trial", it must not be a useless setting.

Thinking about it, he asked again: "What I want to make sure is that this is not a trap, but is it really necessary to put your heart on it?"

This is the inheritance of a "seventy-two generals", he really wanted to go in and have a look.

Hearing this, Naletta asked the golden kobold again, and got an affirmative answer: "Yes. It said that the tester must pass the test, and only kind and upright people can pass the test."

She obviously also saw Ren's curiosity about the magic light gate, and after a pause, she said, "I think that you, an upright person, Mr. Doctor, must be able to pass the test."

Ren translated the content of the conversation to Guy and the others.

Guy also felt that it was a good thing that Naleta could find her own blood inheritance. Although it might be dangerous to enter the magic light gate, he also expressed his support.

Then Naletta's transformed black cat walked in on catwalks.

Ren and the others were still a little worried at first, and they were all focused on the magic door.

But not long after, she came out again.

Not only was he safe and sound, but he also had a strange black-skinned book in his mouth.

This is a "living" book.

The book cover is like the wrinkled human skin of a cat-faced old lady, and it still looks wriggling to the naked eye.

Others didn't dare to touch it, because there was the breath of a living person approaching, and a face of a living person would really condense on the book cover, surrounded by black air, which looked very evil.

"This is the book that led me in"

Naletta introduced to everyone: "I got it, and I remembered a lot of things. This is the inheritance of our family [Necronomicon]."

I don’t know if I don’t say it, but once I say it, it’s really a wicked book.

Those who are not of their "curse family" blood will have a fatal curse similar to "bad luck" when touched.

Moreover, this book cannot be read by others.

Turning the pages, one by one, the pages of the book were made of human skin, and the "text" on them, Ren and the others, looked like folds like palm prints, which were completely ghost books.

And Naleta said that it was some "spells".

A small part she can understand now, most of them are special abilities related to manipulating undead and curses.

But most of them, she still can't understand in her current realm.

Since it is the exclusive inheritance secret book of the Cursed Clan, Ren didn't bother to wonder what was recorded in it.

Instead, he asked curiously, "Naretta, is there anything else inside the Might and Magic Gate?"

Naleta thought about it, and said: "There is also a pool of lightning flashing inside, a temple, stone carvings, and strange devices, but those things are reserved for 'trialists', I only looked at them from a distance , and cannot go to the altar."

Hearing this, Ren was finally tempted.

Temple?

He wasn't sure what was in the Magic Light Gate before, and he hesitated whether it was worth the risk, but now when he heard this, his heart was moved immediately.

Renn has personally explored the inheritance temples of the two "seventy-two generals", so he naturally knows what this means.

Even if there is no "divine power crystallization" in it, those inherited exercises and so on are priceless treasures.

Hearing that Ren was planning to cut out his heart and put it on the balance to be weighed, others were quite frightened.

Although Guy and Renata felt that if this level was a test of the "soul", Dr. Ren should be able to enter. But the act of cutting one's heart is still too unbelievable. The heart is such a vital point, can it be cut out casually?

Catherine didn't hide her worry at all, and asked, "Are you really planning to do this?"

After all, Ren had saved her life several times, and he was still Canossa's man. Now, she also completely regards him as a close family member.

"Yes, Mr. Wren, just in case"

Gannix on the side also looked hesitant to speak, "What if it doesn't work?"

He was also curious about the place of inheritance behind Might and Magic, but naturally he dared not try such a frightening and crazy act of cutting out the heart.

Ren chuckled and shrugged, "It's okay to try."

Now that Naleta had communicated with the golden kobold, it was not a trap, but a real test, so he naturally didn't have much worries.

He thinks that the Three Views are fairly upright, and he should be regarded as an "upright and kind-hearted" person. It would be better if he could pass the test. Even if he failed, since he was a doctor himself, it would not be a big problem if his heart was isolated for a short time and then stitched back up again.

Just do it.

Ren will never drag his feet on what he intends to do.

He went straight to the foot of the golden dog's head, and then took out a scalpel. He didn't hesitate too much, took off his shirt, and made a precise cut in his chest with the blade.

Then, under the shocked gazes of Catherine and the others, he put his hand deep into his chest, cut out his still beating heart, and put it on the golden balance.

There was an almost numb calm in the whole process.

This is Ren's confidence in his medical methods.

Then, a magical scene happened.

Because the heart was placed on one side of the balance, it swayed slightly to the sides of the "Angel Feather" balance a few times, and finally it was really balanced!

Ren looked at it and felt relieved.

But at this moment, the golden kobold actually spit out words and said a word in Monkel language: "Congratulations, tester, you have passed the test."

Ren was overjoyed when he heard that, and couldn't hide his joy on his face.

Then, he unhurriedly picked up the bloody heart and stuffed it into his chest cavity. The "gang thread" was stitched and sewed quickly, and his chest healed into a faint blood line in an instant, and there was no serious problem.

Putting on his clothes, Ren turned to look at Catherine and the others who were more nervous than himself, and said relaxedly, "I seem to have passed the test."

Catherine and the others were too shocked to speak.

Hearing this, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Oh my god, you actually succeeded."

Although they knew that Ren was a very good doctor, they still looked like they were seeing hell when they saw him cut off his heart and put it back in again.

Don't blame them for "rare and more strange".

On the contrary, because they have seen a lot, they know that there is no one in the world who can do this kind of unbelievable surgery!

What's more, I didn't notice it when I was wearing clothes before, but now I took off my shirt and saw that Ren's bulging and knotted muscles were very visually impactful. And the totem with the purple thunder on the skin, which seems to be the same as the totem of the previous "Sunflower Chamber of Commerce" Mr. Wumu?

Faintly, they felt that Ren was getting more and more unfathomable.

Ren didn't delay much, got dressed, and then stepped into the magic light door.

As if a special barrier had been penetrated, everything outside the door was isolated.

He could see clearly the layout of the [Land of Inheritance] at a glance.

It's not big, covering an area of ​​about a few thousand square meters.

This is somewhat similar to the structure of the Tiankeng Shi Temple. There is a huge stone statue not far away. Judging by his face, he is King Pallas XV of the ancient kingdom of Monkel and one of the seventy-two generals, [Thunder Nightmare] Aruret.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is not the statue, but an ancient "energy supply system" on the altar.

"It turns out that the energy supply for the moving maze above actually comes from this 'Thunder Pool'?"

When Ren saw the thunder pool of about 200 square meters on the altar not far away, he immediately understood what was going on.

It was a pool with purple lightning flashing and a silver glow at its core. The pool is surrounded by stone pillars lit with mysterious runes, and connected by some metal pipes, which are submerged into the ground.

Ever since he saw a lot of ancient technology from the goblin ruins, he instantly understood that the mine pool and those conduction devices in front of him are the "energy supply system" of this underground palace.

"What the hell is in the thunder pool that can continue to supply energy for so many years?"

Ren looked at the shining thunder pool, as if he saw a short-circuited high-voltage electricity, his eyelids twitched. Although restricted by stone pillars, the overflowing light made people feel a deadly threat.

"Is this the power of the high-level lightning system?"

Now that Ren has seen Bazel and Mafa standing at the top of the extraordinary, he is naturally not a novice who has only a half-knowledge of extraordinary power.

After a little perception of the raging thunder elements floating in the air, which was almost skin-burning, he guessed that there must be some high-level treasure of the thunder element in the thunder pool.

"The power of high-level laws" is a field that only extraordinary people of the fifth level of Dzogchen are qualified to touch. So this "thunder pool" is a fatal threat to other extraordinary people, even the fifth-level extraordinary, and if they are not careful, they will be electrocuted into roast chicken.

But for Rennes, the problem is not big.

Because, he has the most important treasure of the thunder system [Totem of Thunder] on him!

Also because of the totem, as soon as he entered the secret room, he felt the surging, rich and joyful thunder element in the air, as if there was an inexplicable attraction, "sucking" his body to get closer to the thunder pond.

Ren went up the steps cautiously. If he wanted to get to the statue, he had to go through Lei Chi.

Fortunately, there were no institutional restrictions triggered along the way.

But it didn't go very far,

A silver crow more than ten meters in length attacked him viciously.

Crow's beak, eagle's claw, swallowtail, peacock's wing

This is a pure elemental creature.

When Ren saw the appearance of this evil bird, the system immediately matched with a mythical creature, and he almost blurted out: "Mythical creature, undead thundercrow?"
