Steel steam and flame

"Curiosity killed the cat, as many books say, Ross." Another person expressed his opinion, with curiosity and the vigilance of a member of the advance team. Being in the tunnel network that he accidentally discovered, he has the consciousness of being an explorer. The weird and abnormal things he sees with his eyes are all put into the queue to be thought about, hoping to get answers one by one.

As a result, many of the things in the thought queue will not have answers. But this was his expectation. Every answer he came up with was a surprise to him, and it was also information to understand the weirdness and anomalies.

"I'm not a cat. I should be some other beast that can easily kill a cat. The kind of curiosity you mentioned cannot kill me, Lothar."

"It's just a metaphor." The man Ross called Losark replied calmly, and then he raised the fiery light on his right index finger, slowly leaving it from the fingertip, and floated gently into the sky like smoke, and finally Stopping at the upper position of the center of the cavity, it becomes a "lamp" in the true sense. "Three people form a team, using this cavity as a starting point, and spread out to explore."

"You can rest assured that the owner is not at home." He said, "When exploring, draw a map of the cave based on your body sense. If you see strange characters and symbols similar to those on the cave wall here, remember to mark the key points. Rock blocks with polishing marks, Weapons,,,, well, weapon models also need to be marked. Remember, the scene here is a template for comparison, and there are differences. I hope that after the map is compiled, it will be marked with detailed information. Description. Finally, the time to return here is one hour later."

There was a sudden sound of footsteps around the two people. The people were arranging and grouping, memorizing the appearance and scenery of the surrounding things, and matching the team members with the several holes connecting the cavity. For about a minute, the tiny sounds completely disappeared as the teams poured into the huge cave one by one.

There was no sound anymore, neither of them needed to breathe, and their heartbeats only seemed to have a weak beat for a long time. The bright light above the head is not the type that consumes fuel, so there is no "chichi" sound.

The light became brighter at this moment, instantly covering up the shadows in the entire cavity. "Let's wait for the results here, and we can also exchange opinions based on the things in our eyes. Mainly because I want to take a short rest." Son. The continuous rush makes me feel tired."

Losak jumped onto the neatly stacked rock blocks, and a brighter beam of light shot out from the hot spot in the center of the cavity. As his eyes moved, the rocks on the cave wall were illuminated. The details of the strange characters and symbols are clearly revealed.

"Things drawn directly with the tip of a claw." He touched each of the strange characters and symbols that were the size of a human body, and said the results of his observations, "Just from the arrangement, it seems to be derived from original memory, and cannot Combine it into complete sentences and carry information."

"Very good control, Losark. Have you mastered the induction field to this extent?"

The two people in the same place say and think in completely different places. Ross did not pick up what Losak said, and Losak did not answer Ross's question.

The two seemed to realize this at the same time, and both chose not to speak. In silence, Ross was still watching with interest the spot of light in the center of the cavity and the beam of light that was constantly being stimulated. He himself also walked around the huge cavity wall to obtain useful information.

Standing on the rock, Losak concentrated on looking at the neat or skewed strange characters and symbols on the cave wall with obvious time differences, and thought about it from time to time.

After a short silence, Losak opened his mouth to break the silence, and his words echoed faintly, "Unfortunately, it would be nice if one of you and me could understand the strange characters and symbols." He looked at Ross, "You are Gray The rising star of the regional branch, I often hear your name in the family headquarters. There are both good and bad in various reports. Should you have reached the level of authority to study and access relevant information? Although the fifth stage of the operation begins, except for the lowest level Except for core secrets, the family database will be fully open. However, there are still many people who have the relevant restrictions lifted one by one by the family after the middle of the fourth phase."

"Xinxing? Where did you learn this word?" Ross, who was walking around the cave wall, stopped and looked over in confusion, "If I hadn't killed a group of people from the Holy Shiluo Empire in the gray area, I wouldn't have I was sent here to perform a mission. The people above said they were trying to protect me, but in fact they probably wanted to push me out."

"As long as the traces are exposed, a vast and extreme area like the southern forest, a bunch of more than a hundred of us, can't even compare to a dead leaf. It's not a strange thing to burn it in any place, right? Really? It’s for protection, shouldn’t I be allowed to stay at the family headquarters in Manoma?”

"By the way, I'm not a rising star, although in the gray area branch, the number of people who can suppress me can be counted on both hands."

Losark smiled, "Is it dangerous to be in the same team with you? I have never heard you say anything like this along the way. But the report about the gray area, the dead people of the Holy Shiluo Empire, will not Is it a team going to establish a stronghold?"

"Otherwise, why do you think there is a conflict between us? Those people are very smart, and they don't even look at the areas controlled by the Holy Emperor's Hall and the King's faction. Those with the shadow of the Chira Andi family behind them also act cautiously, fearing that they will suddenly It's like the self has disappeared. What's left, like our Grand Duke family, which has not expressed its position yet, will be treated as the primary target whoever comes over. The other party didn't think of using a gentle way at the time, so naturally I won't be gentle either. It's just, ," Ross spread his hands, "Is your situation the same as mine?"

"Who knows." Losak didn't answer. "Do you want to use this as a future base of semi-finished products to take revenge on the family's senior officials? You can definitely see that there is something wrong and strange about this network of underground caves. Yes. Personally, I think this place is very, very dangerous. Even wild dragons with primitive memories and the ability to carve strange characters and symbols will not be simple in their thinking."

"It seems that I thought about you too much." Ross sighed for some reason and answered unclearly.

Losak kept a minimum smile and said nothing.

For more than half an hour, before it was time to rendezvous, two teams hurried back from similar caves.

"Lord Ross, Lord Losark, there is a new situation that requires you to go and take a look immediately." The two teams met on the way and spoke together when they came back.
