Chapter 502 Prison
Seeing this scene, Ryan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Of course, but, Sir Hiram, you have to be careful of your injuries."
But less than two minutes after Ryan's reminder, Hiram's face flushed with excitement, his eyes widened, and he said to Ryan hurriedly:
"Sir Ryan, this... This memory crystal actually contains complete knowledge of goblin engineering! Do you know how useful this thing will be!"
"I have a hunch that your discovery will bring huge changes to the Federation, the Empire, and even to the entire human race!"
"Hiram, I think maybe you should take another look at this." The dawn wizard Hernandez on the side saw Hiram's excited expression, and his expression became more complicated.
As he spoke, he handed the memory crystal in his hand to Hiram.
"Hmm?" Hiram couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Could it be that there is more important information than goblin engineering?
So, Hiram took the memory crystal handed over by Hernandez and quickly injected his mental power into it. After a few seconds, he began to tremble slightly!
"Oh my God! Floating city! This is the complete design and production process of the floating city!"
Although Ryan had just said that this ancient goblin capital was actually a floating city.
But Hiram had just thought that Ryan had drawn the conclusion from some residual diary or other things, but now it seems that it is not at all!
It comes from this memory crystal.
The difference is equivalent to the difference between a person discovering the wreckage of a carrier rocket and discovering a complete set of carrier rocket design and production drawings.
It is simply a world of difference!
Especially for the Federation, with systematic goblin engineering knowledge, coupled with a complete floating city design and production method, it can be said that after a certain period of time, the Federation is fully capable of creating a new floating city that belongs exclusively to humans.
No, it may even be more than one!
Of course, the quickest way is naturally to repair the floating city under your feet.
"The final solution to deal with the giant beast and the resurrection of the gods has finally appeared!" Hiram was so excited that he danced with joy!
"Sir Ryan, you are simply the savior!"
"Ahem Sir Hiram, your bandages are bleeding." Ryan reminded him in a friendly manner.
"Hiss~"
Hiram realized that most of the bandages on his body were bleeding, and he couldn't help but gasp in pain.
"It's okay, Sir Ryan, your discovery this time is really too significant, and I'm not celebrating with all this blood!"
"This..."
After hearing Hiram's words, Ryan didn't know how to respond for a while.
After a little thought, Ryan said:
"By the way, everyone, I have found a way to leave in the design of the floating city. You can leave the floating city from Exit No. 3 on the negative first floor."
"That is, the upper floor." Ryan pointed to the top of his head and said.
"Sir Ryan, don't you want to continue exploring?" Hiram said hurriedly.
"Hiram, don't let the harvest go to your head. Don't you look at your injuries?" Sword Saint Tirion said in a deep voice.
"I have wanted to leave this hellhole for a long time."
"Moreover, the harvest of these three memory crystals alone this time has greatly exceeded expectations, and is much greater than the harvest of the previous ruins exploration. I think we should be content!"
"This" Sword Saint Tirion's reminder was like pouring a bucket of ice water on Hiram's head, which immediately made him sober up.
Yes! It's too dangerous to continue exploring!
But, it's really a bit unwilling.
This is a floating city. Once it is repaired, it means that
Hiram struggled.
"I also think we should leave first." Hernandez nodded and agreed with Tirion's opinion.
Seeing that his two epic-level masters both felt that they should leave first, Hiram couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, he also knew that with a three-to-one ratio, it would be meaningless for him to say anything.
"In that case, let's go to the ground first, pick up the people in the temporary camp, and then go to the negative first floor and leave here from the third exit of the floating city." Ryan smiled and said.
"Well, Mr. Ryan, I'll follow your arrangement."
"I agree."
Soon, the four people came to the negative first floor from the negative second floor without any danger.
Near the hole that was punched, some goblin mummies and mechanical devices gathered because of the alarm, and Ryan needed to explore and clean up in advance.
As Hiram was seriously injured, the other three naturally would not let him participate in the cleaning process. He was quite excited to check the memory crystal that recorded the floating city.
More than ten minutes later, several people returned to the ground.
"Hey, there is actually a military camp area on the negative third floor." Hiram followed the team and muttered to himself while thinking.
The three people naturally expressed their understanding of Hiram's obsession with the floating city.
"There is also a prison on the negative second floor? It seems that I didn't see it just now." Hiram muttered again.
Wait, prison?
Hiram's careless words suddenly reminded Ryan of something.
It was as if a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the fog, breaking through the darkness.
Ryan realized that he seemed to have missed a possibility!
The team of the Valzig School, they were also outsiders. If they were defeated by the goblin machines, they would either be executed on the spot or sent to the prison on the negative second floor by the goblin mummies who still followed some instincts in their lives.
But once they were sent to the prison on the negative second floor, it meant that the things they carried - the follow-up of the meditation method, would also be in the prison.
A few minutes later.
The four of them returned to the temporary camp. After hearing their experiences, the people who stayed in the camp were amazed!
Several wizards from the Mechanical Research Institute where Hiram worked held the memory crystals like pilgrims, their eyes shining!
At this time, Ryan said to Tirion and the other two: "Everyone, I want to go down and explore the prison on the negative second floor."
Hmm?
Everyone was stunned!
"Sir Ryan, do you think there will be some relics of the prisoners there?" Before the other two reacted to Ryan's intention, Hernandez seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up immediately.
And the Sword Saint Tirion and Hiram, after Hernandez's reminder, also woke up to something.
"I understand, Sir Ryan, although those prisoners have long died, you think you can find some clues about the truth of the fall of this floating city from their wreckage or relics, right?"
"Tsk tsk, it's amazing, thinking in reverse!" Hiram praised repeatedly.
"Thank you for the compliment. First, we may find some clues. Second, I think that even if only some outsiders like us are imprisoned in prison, there will be some lost witchcraft or other treasures left in the prison."
Ryan naturally did not talk about the meditation method directly, but slightly changed the words.
In fact, Ryan was telling the truth, because if the leader of the Walzig School was arrested, he would naturally be one of the outsiders imprisoned.
"Sir Ryan, I will go with you." Tirion stood up and said.
"The wound on my body has scabbed over. It's a minor injury and it's not a big problem." Sword Saint Tirion added.
"Thank you, but Your Majesty Tirion, although your injury is not serious, your physical strength is greatly consumed, and it is not suitable for further exploration. In addition, the three important memory crystals are here. I think the first priority is to ensure the safety of the crystals and send them out." Ryan shook his head and said.
"So, you should stay in the camp to recover and rest. I will be back within 24 hours."
"Of course, if I don't come back within the specified time, you already have the structural diagram of the floating city, so you can evacuate on your own."
"This..." Tirion and the other two looked at each other, wanting to say something, but not knowing where to start.
Because what Ryan said was right, the three memory crystals were too valuable.
If they took the crystals to explore the prison, the risk was too great, and if they stayed in the temporary camp, the combat power of the people present was too weak, and they were worried.
"Well, Sir Ryan, please be careful!"
"Be careful, Sir Ryan."
"Thank you, I will." Ryan nodded and turned to leave.
Soon.
Ryan returned to the mechanical structure area on the negative second floor again.
At this time, some wandering goblin mummies had gradually come to the explosion area, but the number was still scarce.
After Ryan killed a few of them, he walked west according to his memory, which was the direction of the prison.
After walking about 700 meters quickly while avoiding the goblin corpses, the dense chains and parts hanging down began to gradually decrease, which made Ryan's vision clearer.
A few hundred meters ahead, there was a spacious hall.
On the west side of the hall, there was a deep corridor. In addition, at this entrance, there stood two strange and huge busts.
Although it was only half of the body, it was more than ten meters tall, with extremely strong gray metal arms, each holding a seven or eight meter long double-handed hammer, staggered in the air, as if the guard of honor was crossing bayonets during a welcoming ceremony!
"Huh? Is this the Thorim Golem modeled after the ancient Thorim Giant?"
Ryan looked at the statue and immediately found something wrong.
This was thanks to the goblin engineering content he had forced himself to memorize before.
Although the statue is a half-body shape, it is very similar to the appearance of a kind of goblin engineering called Thorim Golem recorded in the second memory crystal.
If someone mistakenly thinks that this is just a statue, they are wrong.
There is a high probability that they will be severely injured or even killed!
Because the Thorim Golem was imitated by ancient goblin engineers and imitated the Thorim giants who had the ability to control thunder in ancient times. Of course, it is only a partial imitation, but the power is amazing enough.
Ryan tried hard to recall the relevant content.
"When the heavy hammer hits, it will be accompanied by a thunder strike with a diameter of ten meters. Wow, it covers the whole area." Ryan glanced at the width of the passage that was less than five meters wide and thought to himself.
"If you are hit, your whole body will be paralyzed. Even if you have a strong resistance to lightning, your limbs will be stiff and your movement speed will be greatly reduced!"
"In addition, the eyes will also shoot arc rays, which is a very powerful long-range attack.
" "It's quite tricky."
However, knowing that the two statues are actually golems, Ryan has avoided the biggest trap.
Moreover, he knew the other party's origin and the special abilities he possessed.
After a brief thought, Ryan gave up the trick.
Since there was no trick, let's keep it simple.
As he quickly recited the spell, he raised his right hand above his head. Soon, a dark silver disc with a diameter of several meters and a high-speed rotation appeared above his right hand.
This was exactly the single-body morning light killer move that Ryan had just mastered, the 'Blade Tooth Spinning Disc'!
"Go!"
The next moment!
The high-speed rotating dark silver disc, with a circle of bright colors, drew a beautiful arc and cut into the Thorim Golem on Ryan's left!
"Chi!"
The extremely hard and permanently solidified shell on the opponent's chest only lasted for less than a second before being cut into by the blade tooth spinning disc.
"Sizzle!!!"
It seemed that some kind of energy device was hit, and a large number of arcs suddenly appeared at the cut of the opponent's body.
The reason why Ryan attacked this position was because the energy device happened to be located three meters below the opponent's neck.
As the blade-toothed disc rolled and left, the next second!
"Boom!!!"
A violent explosion sounded, and the Thorim Golem was completely destroyed by Ryan without even firing a single move.
If the goblin engineer who made this golem was still alive, he would probably be pissed to death.
Seeing the Thorim Golem on the left explode, Ryan narrowed his eyes.
"Sure enough, after thousands of years, this Thorim Golem is still able to operate, and it seems that the energy storage of the internal energy device is still quite strong."
"This shows that the energy transmission system of this floating city is still operating to some extent."
"In addition, the other party only placed half of the Thorim Golem's body, which has a special purpose."
"There should be some kind of charging line layout on the ground below." Ryan immediately figured out some key points.
Suddenly!
It seems that because there is some kind of connection between the two golems, or that the linkage was set up when they were designed, the Thorim Golem on Ryan's right side actually started up on its own.
"Intruder spotted. (Ancient Goblin language)"
Along with a low mechanical sound, the other party's huge head turned and looked at Ryan, and the fist-sized eyes suddenly lit up!
"Hmm? Want to release arc rays?"
"Unfortunately, there is no chance!" Ryan thought.
Almost at the same moment!
"Chi!"
A huge dark silver metal disc cut into the chest of the Thorim Golem like lightning, and suddenly, the electric snake danced wildly!
Obviously, the opponent's energy device was in the same position as the destroyed Thorim Golem next to it, and was naturally destroyed instantly by the blade-toothed disc.
The other party's shining eyes dimmed again.
Ryan stepped forward and confirmed again that the two Thorim Golems were completely destroyed, and then walked towards the passage.
However, his speed was not fast, but he was always on guard.
Although he had obtained the design drawings of the entire floating city, knew the location and size of the prison, and even knew the size of each cell, he did not know what was imprisoned inside.
It's better to be careful.
The area closest to the prison entrance is the ordinary prisoner area. There are narrower passages on both sides of the corridor. If you enter these two passages, you can find a large number of small cells.
These cells are used to hold ordinary prisoners.
Ryan thought about it and decided to take a look.
He turned left and walked into the branch passage on the right. However, after walking a few steps, he smelled a kind of dusty smell in the air caused by the lack of ventilation for many years.
And a unique smell of decay.
The dim light did not affect Ryan's sight. Soon, he saw the densely packed prisons.
The prisons were relatively dense and not large. There was only a bed and a sink-like thing placed inside, about seven or eight square meters, which looked like pigeon cages.
There were no prisoners alive inside, and the ground was full of bones of different sizes.
Moreover, Ryan also noticed that judging from the length of the leg bones, most of them seemed to be goblins.
Ryan scanned it, shook his head slightly, and turned away.
Since he decided to take a look, Ryan naturally had to take a look at the ordinary prison on the left.
But there was no additional discovery. Both sides were the same, without any survivors.
It seemed that even the black bugs had no interest in infecting such ordinary combat power.
"Will ordinary people not be infected?"
"Or disdain? This is an interesting discovery." Ryan thought.
Suddenly, Ryan stopped and looked up.
If he was not mistaken, there seemed to be a sound coming from inside. How to say it, it was not the stiff footsteps of the goblin mummy, but the sound of some air flow.
"Breathing sound? Could it be that something can survive thousands of years?"
Ryan's eyes flashed with surprise!
