Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 431 Watcher
The Eye of Illusion used magic power to light up two illuminated magic stones, and gently threw them along the corridor that suddenly cracked in the hall. The white magic stones rolled down and soon reached the bottom of the corridor.
"It's just a basement sandwiched between the oil storage room. I thought the mechanism had already penetrated deep below the sea surface." The Eye of Illusion drew out the magic revolver from his waist with some unfamiliarity - this was just what he had applied for from the logistics officer of the Northern Army today, and he had always disdained to carry it with him before.
He pointed the muzzle of the gun slightly downward and took the lead in walking down the stone steps into the underground corridor, followed by Duncan and the astrologer.
There was nothing dangerous or strange in the underground secret room, and even the defensive mechanism had not been triggered. After all, after such a long time, coupled with the impact of the landslide, even if there was any mechanism array, it would have been broken and ineffective long ago.
When everyone lit up the magic stones, they immediately illuminated the not-so-spacious underground stone chamber - there were four thick stone pillars in the center that were too big for a single person to hug, and the low ceiling was still inlaid with a large number of magic gems that Harvey had just discovered. It also looked dim with its magic power exhausted. After obtaining Harvey's permission, the astrologer carefully pried off a piece and held it in his hand to observe it, and then tried to inject a tiny bit of magic power into it.
The magic stone immediately showed a sharp reaction, with a slight orange-yellow light, but it went out again in an instant.
"It is indeed a kind of magic stone of undiscovered nature..." Harvey nodded slightly and guessed, "I think they are embedded here to drive and activate some kind of magic device. After all, the protective magic circle in the ground hall does not need so many magic stones."
Asdaren pondered for a moment, shook his head in confusion and said, "My lord, I'm sorry... I have never heard of the rumors about the underground secret room in the oil storage room in the city... After all, there are too many secrets in the family, and only the direct high-level people can probably know the truth thoroughly."
A hybrid like Asdaren who can't even guarantee the purity of his bloodline did not even have the qualifications to live in the City of Eternal Night in the past.
But from the perspective of the alienated protective magic circle in the ground hall, Harvey can at least judge that the magic device hidden underground is not an attack or trap type... After all, even if there is any treasure hidden, it is impossible to hide under the fuel storage room outside the castle.
Thinking of this, Harvey nodded to the Eye of Illusion and the Astrologer, indicating that they should try to inject magic power into the magic stone on the ceiling and try to activate the magic device hidden in the dark.
As the magic power continued to be injected, the orange-yellow light of the magic stone embedded in the ceiling became more and more blazing. With the sound of stone slabs and metal rubbing and colliding, everyone was surprised to see that the four thick stone pillars in the center of the room suddenly sank slowly, and the area surrounded by them in the center, as the ground cracked and lifted... a strange-shaped thing appeared in front of everyone.
A thick brass metal tube was inserted straight into the ground, and the upward end was horizontally connected to a winch like a steering wheel. The tail gradually narrowed, and a transparent crystal piece was embedded at the end as a seal.
The Eye of Illusion rushed to the side before Harvey, raised his hand and knocked on the tube body, "This thing is hollow."
Harvey frowned, vaguely feeling that the device looked unusually familiar, and it didn't seem to be an alchemical device that needed magic to drive it.
He subconsciously moved to the end of the metal tube that bent upward and looked inside through the crystal partition... It was dark and nothing could be seen clearly.
Wait! Harvey raised his head suddenly, he seemed to know what this thing was!
Telescope! Or...periscope is more appropriate!
In order to verify his bold conjecture, Harvey moved closer to the mouth of the pipe, raised his hand to the winch that looked like a steering wheel, and with a little force, he turned it with a click.
It was still a dark patch that stretched as far as the eye could see, and suddenly... a flash of fluorescent green flashed past quickly and came into Harvey's eyes!
Sure enough! This periscope can be directly connected to the sea through a copper pipe deep underground, so that it can observe the seabed situation without diving into the water.
But why should such a non-magical device be hidden mysteriously in the basement of the oil storage room? It is no problem to put it outside for use openly. It does not involve any secrets of magic knowledge at all. It is purely the creation of a skilled craftsman.
Harvey stood up and asked Asdalen to try it out, and asked, "Was this thing used to help the whaling team find whales?"
Asdalen shook his head, "The ice whale appears near every sea swell, and there is no need to chase its traces. It is big and stupid, and has slow reactions... Hunting it does not require any tracking skills."
"If you can look at the bottom of the sea... but it is not for fishing, what else can it be used for?" The Eye of Illusion couldn't help laughing, "Could it be that there are legendary mermaids under the ice sea?"
Nonsense! The astrologer couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
Harvey suddenly felt a layer of cold sweat on his back.
The situation they have always imagined is that the alien enemies in the [Center of the Continent] will cross the huge natural buffer zone of frozen soil and wasteland and launch an extinction invasion against the southern tribes living in the [Corner of the Continent].
But the biggest doubt is naturally why they have never done this in the past. After all, apart from the long distance of nearly 10,000 miles, there is no insurmountable natural barrier to prevent them from arriving.
Unless... the enemy comes from the bottom of the sea!
According to the description of the skinned monster by Duncan and the Eye of Illusion, it is invulnerable to swords and guns and immune to magic... Even if you twist the opponent's neck, you can't tear the strange skin.
The more Harvey imagined, the more he felt that it sounded so much like a "diving suit" with a tougher material and certain magical properties.
There is also the rusty metal cylinder on his back, and the terrifying black water that can be manipulated and condensed into any shape of weapon at will.
No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
Well, since there is a "diving suit", it doesn't feel wrong to use this thing as an "oxygen tank".
The more Harvey thought about it, the more strange it felt. It seemed that all the images of the enemy and the clues they obtained were all pointing to a final answer-those skinned monsters came from the sea!
And the so-called [Center of the Continent] is also very likely to be in the depths of the endless ice sea from beginning to end... or it sank completely to the bottom of the sea due to some accident.
Only in this way can we explain clearly why those powerful tribes that had never set foot in the southern [corner of the continent] in the past now have the intention to invade in a large scale.
They have lost their homeland where they thrived and need to plunder and occupy new land and resources to make up for the loss and consumption of their tribe.
And the Kingdom of Eternal Night, which has built a city on the ice sea and has been waiting for hundreds of years...
They never look to the north on the ground, but... they always stare at the boundless, vast and bottomless cold ocean under the ice!
