Release that Witch

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the morning sun!" The guard went into the office and placed a bag of thick sheepskin bags on the red wooden table in Roland. "I heard the messenger say that Shawn entrusted them to send it."

"Oh?" Roland couldn't help but get the spirit. He put down his biplane design and stood up. "Get it open and take a look."

It took almost two months for the exploration team to leave the Winter City. The last time they received the news was when they crossed the Grey Fort border. At the moment when the source was not in the country, Roland was quite worried. After all, mining and transporting ore is a long-term process. The first army has limited mobility, and the farther away from its sphere of influence, the harder it is to control.

It’s hard to get a reply today, and he is very particular about it.

But what makes him secretly strange is that the package is too big, almost reminding him of the express mail of the next generation. Whether it is found or not found, a letter can clarify the situation. What kind of situation did the exploration team encounter, will Shawn send such a big bag of things back?

"It's all paper," I probably saw his doubts, and the nightingale said to her ear.

"Paper?" Roland turned his head and pressed his voice down. "Did your ability have evolved to see through objects?"

"I think so, but unfortunately." The nightingale was lazy. "I just touched the hand into the bag when the other person entered the door."

It turned out to be the case. Her alertness was really... and so on. Roland suddenly felt a little wrong. When Evelyn came to visit with a new chaotic drink, or when the chef pushed the snack car in, she would not So "touched" a hand?

Having said that, the weight of tea in the afternoon seems to be really less.

"Your Majesty, all of them are loaded with paper," the words of the guards interrupted his thoughts. "And most of them are covered with ink."

What is this new reporting method? Roland groaned inward. "Is there a letter that can be read?"

"Please wait..." The guards poured out all the things in the sheepskin bag and finally found a new discovery. "The bottom is a letter of sealing wax."

"Take it over."

"These blackened papers"

"It’s all spread out on the floor," he said. "Shawn can’t afford to spend a lot of effort and send a bunch of useless things back."

"Yes!"

Roland sat back in the chair and uncovered the envelope.

From the date, it should be sent a week and a half ago. Like the bag, this letter is also surprisingly long. It is difficult to imagine that a single exploration result needs to be expressed in such a long story. This may be the reason why the other party used the emergency report method, but did not transfer it to the animal messenger after entering the northern part of the gray fort.

"Your Majesty, Miss Akima has found the source you want, at the northeast junction of the morning sun and the wolf heart. The locals call it the place of the cage mountain."

Sean’s first sentence made Roland put his heart down.

Fortunately, this trip is not without any gains. The mining area is still in the territory of the morning sun. It means that he can control the whole mining process through the Quine family. Although the cost is much more, it is always limited by the wolf heart and the winter. Come well.

And the wording of the other party is not cumbersome, which makes him more curious about the content behind.

"It's just that the source is not in the mine, but in a very old ruin. What's even more incredible is that it is neither an underground civilization nor a Tacula fugitive. We suspected that it might come from the bottom of the devil. The hand, but the discovery of Miss Witch has rejected this conjecture."

"Your Majesty, this is definitely a relic left by a group that we have never known."

Roland's brow suddenly wrinkled.

Unknown new aliens, have they been in the four kingdoms?

This is not even the intelligence that the Witch Federation has mentioned.

Although this territory was both poor and backward in the past, it does not mean that they will ignore their own rear, and if there are alien activities, it is unlikely to escape the investigation of the witch.

That is to say, if Sean's conclusion is correct, then they may exist earlier than the underground civilization.

The key question is why this group is interested in uranium ore?

He then looked down.

"The masons left a lot of murals on the stone walls at the bottom of the ruins. The various monsters displayed in the paintings are inconsistent with the alien images we know. Through speculation about their contents, Ms. Rother and I think this. The building is likely to be a place of execution."

"It is not only located above the source veins, but the masons also burned the ore into bricks, used to lay walls and ground Ajima in every corner of the ruins, and observed the existence of the same elements, even the murals are used. A large amount of mineral raw materials. Around the bottom layer, we found a large number of cages and white bones, which is also reflected in the murals."

"They seem to have imprisoned a large number of enemies. They include not only heterogeneous, but also the same kind of image as the inmates, and then use the power of the source to torture the other party, as if this would please their gods."

"I have tried to print out those murals as much as possible, and let the Tokat family's messengers be sent to no winter. However, due to the limited number of protective clothes and the huge size of the paintings, the progress is slow. The murals you see are only Some of them are expected to take one to two months to complete."

"In addition, I am very worried about the situation of Ms. Rother. She did not wear protective clothing to enter the ground. I don't know if I will encounter the danger you mentioned. The locals discovered the ruin earlier and the result was dyed during the search. The plague, many people die, so it also has the title of cursing the temple. In addition to the purpose of the execution of the ruins, this danger should exist."

"It's awful." Reading this, Roland couldn't help but whisper.

"What's wrong," the nightingale asked in the fog. "If the gods punished the witch, they would be cursed. If you change your body, you can solve all the problems. Don't worry about them?"

"I am not worried about the witch, but Shawn and Achille." He shook his head in a dignified manner. "According to the plan, they should not stay in the mine for so long."

Whether it is uranium ore or highly enriched uranium, its decay radiation is dominated by a particles, which is difficult to penetrate the skin and cause harm to the human body, but this does not mean that it is also in the mining area. Considering that these radioactive elements have existed for hundreds of millions of years, some of them have decayed into more dangerous elements, such as cockroaches, and the situation has become different.

The half-life of cockroaches is only 3.8 days, and it is itself a gas. It is easily inhaled to form internal radiation, so it must be shielded. The protective clothing he prepared for the exploration team is a full-wrapped jacket designed to penetrate the mining area to effectively isolate a variety of highly toxic elements from decay in uranium mines. Activated carbon masks can absorb helium and other toxic gases, as long as The long-term resident of the mining area can basically guarantee safety.

It can be different for a long time, and the adsorption of carbon particles is limited, which means that people involved in the rubbing of murals are likely to inhale helium gas exceeding the safety standard and thus suffer from excessive ionizing radiation.

"They must evacuate the ruins immediately," Roland took a pen and paper from the table. "Come on honey, and the reply will be sent to them as soon as possible."
