Chapter 597 Key
Andefah smiled awkwardly and continued to explain: "This kind of thing is basically not dangerous. It is usually used to hide some valuables. It is not mainly for protection. If it cannot be opened normally and violently destroyed, the things inside will also be destroyed. However, it is still rare to make such a luxury with star gold. The things inside must be amazing..."
Lin Yun nodded. Although he has a wide range of knowledge, he is definitely not as clear as Andefah about such small historical details.
A few manuscripts were taken out, and the quill pen quickly calculated on the manuscripts. The things in this box must be very precious. If there is a mistake, it is very likely to destroy the things inside. At that time, I am afraid that this star gold box can only be used as a magic material.
After calculating twice in a row and confirming that the calculation is correct, Lin Yun began to use the crystal pen to crack the alchemy array on the box.
All the alchemy arrays were cracked and eliminated, and the alchemy runes and patterns disappeared, but there was still no gap in the box. Lin Yun was a little dumbfounded.
Andefa said calmly: "Look for the mechanism."
Lin Yun suddenly realized that he was only thinking about the alchemy array, but forgot that this kind of box basically has a mechanism!
Recalling the alchemy patterns on the box just now, he immediately found two places that were not covered by the runes and patterns of the alchemy array.
There is only one alchemy array on the box, which is not symmetrical, but there is a symmetrical place on both sides of the box that is not covered by the runes or patterns of the alchemy array, which is very telling.
The double opening mechanism is still very popular now. Only when it is opened at the same time can the box be opened. Otherwise, it will trigger another mechanism.
Lin Yun prepared for protection in advance. Take a deep breath, and then his fingers exert force on two small blank areas at the same time.
Click...
A clear sound. A crack suddenly appeared on the box that had no gaps, and the box opened automatically...
No danger appeared.
Gently open the box, but the contents inside are a bit beyond the expectations of the three people.
It is not a treasure that is very precious at first glance, but a key.
The key was very old-fashioned, brown, with a hint of rust. The key handle was an exquisite skull.
The skull also had a one-eye patch and two crossed long knives on its head.
The three recognized it as the symbol of Red Beard at a glance!
Sir Sean took a look. He left a word and went back with the Soul Crystal.
"I'm going back."
Lin Yun was a little surprised that there was a key inside. The shape of this key was the shape of the oldest locks. In today's era, it was the shape of a craft.
If it wasn't hidden so tightly, Lin Yun wouldn't be able to tell what was so precious about it if it was thrown on the ground.
Andefa frowned and thought hard, but he had no clue.
"I can't see what this key is for, but since it's hidden so secretly, even that monster wants to take it away. It must be very important. It could be the key to Red Beard's treasure room, or it could be something else."
Lin Yun shook his head and put the key back into the box of star gold. If you can't figure it out for now, don't think about it. Anyway, the monster cares about it, so you have to take it away.
After a short rest, Lin Yun recovered his magic power and looked back at the entrance that was still a wall. He felt a little uneasy.
Recalling the time when they arrived at the Dreadnought, it seemed that there was a pair of hands guiding them. It was not only dangerous along the way, but every cabin was full of murderous intent.
Even if the Dreadnought was dangerous, it was impossible for every place to be full of murderous intent.
And now this cabin is obviously an abandoned alchemy laboratory, with a lot of abandoned tables and chairs, and some alchemy puppets that have long been covered with rust.
The fact that they can rest here during the off-duty period means that there is no danger after the exploration.
If every cabin along the way was very dangerous, Lin Yun would not doubt anything, but suddenly he was safe. Thinking back, he felt that he might have entered a trap before.
The cabin with the floor completely covered with soul-sucking wood, twelve true spirit arrays, and even a dimensional corridor maze array, plus the soul-sucking wood, is a death cell dedicated to imprisoning evil things.
But if they don't crack it, they can't get out. The thing released now may be a bigger trouble.
After recovering half of his magic power, Lin Yun couldn't sit still. He walked to Xiuban who was sleeping soundly and kicked him, but this guy didn't react at all.
A fireball was thrown at Xiuban, and this nerveless dragon blood orc howled and jumped up.
"Who? Is there an enemy? Where is the enemy?"
Turning his head, he saw Lin Yun standing behind him with a sullen face.
"Lord Merlin, you are back safely. I knew that monster would definitely not be Lord Merlin's opponent..."
Xiuban flattered him with a calm face.
Lin Yun looked at the others and his tone was not very good.
"Everyone, leave here first. Although the monster was injured, it's probably not a big problem. It might catch up with us at any time."
The exit of this abandoned alchemy laboratory is not as hard to find as those cabins before. As soon as you see it, you can see the only alchemy array that is still running.
It is an array that alchemists often set up at the entrance and exit, and a password is required to enter and exit.
It was also very simple to crack. Lin Yun spent one minute to crack the password of this alchemy array.
"Doroa."
A strange spell command sounded, and a gate-shaped exit appeared in the center of the alchemy array.
"Go!"
The thick-skinned dragon blood orcs walked in front as usual to explore the way, and the others followed behind.
After leaving, unexpectedly, it was not another cabin, but a spacious corridor. The corridor was immersed in darkness and no one knew how long it was.
On both sides of the corridor, you can see closed doors, and each door is covered with a simple alchemy array.
Lin Yun's heart sank, and he realized that now, he had entered a normal place on the Dreadnaught. This should be a place where the crew members are active. Who knows what the hell those were before.
The entrance is hidden in the innermost part of the alchemy laboratory, which is definitely not a simple place.
"Nosfedro."
A simple command sounded, and the alchemy array door behind him closed.
The place where we are now is the center of this corridor, and there are more than 20 alchemical portals that can be seen on both sides of this corridor.
"Let's take a look at each one. I don't know where the captain's room is. This damn ship is too weird. Try to find some useful clues. It's impossible that there are no clues left. It would be better if we can find the structural diagram of the ship."
Lin Yun left a sentence and began to crack an alchemical portal next to him. In less than half a minute, he recited a simple opening spell and the door opened.
The sad-looking off-duty master was kicked in again.
The space of this room has also been expanded a lot, but it is far less than the previous cabins. It is only three or four miles. Based on the things that have long been decayed by time, it can be seen that this was a warehouse before, and it was a warehouse for storing food.
There is no danger, and there is no gain.
After exploring more than a dozen rooms in a row, there is still no gain. It is either a group of abandoned alchemical puppets that can't even remove a useful part, or a place for a large number of slaves to rest. There is nothing except the messy and dirty beds and those bed frames that have long been decayed.
Or there is a group of low-level undead creatures that even Xiuban is too lazy to take seriously.
I explored all the rooms on both sides of this corridor all the way, but there was no useful harvest, and no useful information was found.
I opened the last room, which looked much better. It should be the room of some well-treated crew members. It stretched for several miles, like a small world. There was a permanently solidified powerful lighting spell hanging on the top, and there was also a huge crystal next to it to provide magic power, but now the crystal was very dim, and the light emitted by the powerful lighting spell seemed to be extinguished at any time, just like an old man in his twilight years.
The ground was not made of wood, but a kind of black soil. It can be seen that there were lush lawns growing on this land.
Apart from these, there were only small courtyards built on this land.
"Xiuban, go and see if there are any living things in it."
Lin Yun ordered, and Xiuban did not say a word and hurried to do as Lin Yun ordered. There were so many rooms, and there was no threat at all. It was too simple.
Lin Yun also searched from one courtyard to another and found some books, but they were all rotten and not even a single word could be seen clearly.
Some books that looked intact, shattered into ashes when touched by fingers.
There were more than 40 courtyards in total, and he searched all the way to the innermost, but still found nothing.
When he arrived at the last small courtyard, it was still the same. It seemed to have been abandoned for thousands of years, and all the useful things had been decayed by time.
"Lord Merlin, I have found it!"
Xiuban's shouting voice came from the back of the courtyard.
Several people rushed to the backyard and saw a magic morning glory that was about to wither in a corner of the backyard. Xiuban stretched out his hand to grab it, but the magic morning glory was like a phantom. Xiuban's big hand passed through the magic morning glory and could not catch anything.
"Lord Merlin, I know this one is alive. The others, not even a dead soul."
Lin Yun took a look and knew that the space here was distorted.
Taking out the crystal pen, a large piece of alchemical runes was written out. In less than two minutes, the distorted space was cracked.
Following Lin Yun's signal, Xiuban stretched out his hand and pulled up the morning glory by the roots. To be continued. .
