Vol 2 Chapter 34: Buried

　　 As the monster and the mirror Ace deepened, the dark road gradually widened and bifurcated, and a faint light began to appear in front of it.
Various dangers also gradually appeared in the dark tunnels, from the sudden appearance of sharp knives to high-speed rotating cutting blades, from falling rolling stones to the sudden collapse of the entire passage. With all kinds of dangers, and the sound of friction of gears, the monsters were also in batches. Death.
　　 Mirror Ace moved forward, and arranged the magic signal base station at will. In such an environment of inertia of mental power, only through the magic signal base station can we get in touch with the body.
　　 Finally, Mirror Ace walked to an old, heavy steel door.
"what!"
　　Along the way, all the traps are pure mechanical traction without magic power. Now this door has an obvious magical rhythm, which makes Mirror Ace very confused.
　　 He carefully perceives with mental power, the triggered magic rhythm is similar to the magic circle, but it is very different.
　　 This difference is similar to the same meaning, the feeling expressed in different languages.
　　 Mirror Ace carefully perceives that the design of the magic rhythm is very exquisite, combined with the original mechanical gear structure, if it does not meet its certain conditions, it will cause the entire passage to collapse.
　　 Mirror Ace calculated the distance, applied a defensive spell-like effect to himself, and gently triggered the magic rhythm with his mental power.
　　 The magic power gathered, and finally formed a light curtain, and emitted a burst of magic radiation, scanning him.
　　 Ace looked at the light curtain in front of her and tilted her head.
　　 turned out to be math problems, and Ace looked at these math problems expressed in lingua franca, silently.
　　 The difficulty is roughly equivalent to the mathematics level of the previous junior high school. He quickly answered and submitted it, and then the light curtain shattered and turned into a little magical starlight, flying regularly to the old, heavy steel door.
　　 He carefully perceives the way of magical rhythm, summarizes and absorbs the knowledge in it, and records it on the magic book.
　　 can be transformed into an exquisite exterior magic circle, which can trigger effects through a fixed program, and has the ability to scan and judge. If it was invented by a native, he can only be said to be a genius.
　　 Many designs and rune structures here can be strengthened by Ace into his perception spells.
　　 The entire steel door slowly opened before being driven by magic, making a violent rubbing sound and the sound of old gears turning.
　　 Then, the magical stars gathered to form a light curtain again.
There is a paragraph written in common language above, "Unknown latecomer, you passed the test of my subject. You do not have the blood of a god, but you have the power comparable to a hero. Be vigilant! The hero is our enemy, and the chaser is even more so. The executioner among the enemies. — Nicholas"
　　The light curtain then formed several figures, dark clothes, a black iron mask embroidered with a unique coat of arms, and a huge sickle.
　　 "Nicholas may not have died, at least he did not die in the massacre on the ground. He should have gone underground to explore at that time, and his subsequent traces are unknown."
　　 mirrored Ace stepping into the gate, bright as day.
　　 The sudden change of light and darkness made Mirror Ace a little dazzling. After a few seconds, he closed his eyes and opened them slowly.
　　 There is a huge underground city in front of me. Almost the whole city is made of steel. There are row upon row of buildings made of steel. Several huge cogs in standard steampunk style are slowly turning.
　　 The center of the city is a tall tower, which directly penetrates the highest point of the entire underground city, where it is also the source of light.
　　 A huge ball of fiery flame is burning there, emitting light and heat all the time.
　　 The entire city was built in a natural underground cavity. It seems to have been expanded and transformed. The entire cavity is nearly one thousand meters high. The stone walls in the cave are composed of dense steel bars, forming a whole steel sky.
　　 The light and heat emitted by the fiery ball of flame, along the entire steel sky, shone the underground city like daylight. Mirror Ace followed the steps behind the steel door, stepping down.
　　 There is a strong magical inerting power here. After trying and testing the remaining monsters, Mirror Ace found that the power has been greatly suppressed.
　　 "The overall concentration of magic power here is lower, and there is a kind of power that interferes with the absorption of magic power. The inherent magic power is not suppressed here, and it may be necessary to use enchanting martial arts."
　　 Mirror Ace is testing, while transmitting information to the main body through the magic signal base station. After entering the city, the magic signal will also be blocked by interference, which is not stable. After confirming the basic safety, it is more convenient for the main body to explore together.
　　 About half an hour later, the main body Ace arrived at the iron gate.
　　 The body and the mirrored eyes are facing each other, and the mental frequency begins to be in tune. Aisi quietly digested the information of mirroring exploration, and then opened his eyes.
　　 "Let's explore this underground city separately. If we encounter any danger, we will exit as soon as possible, and safety first!"
　　 The main body and the mirror image walked together for a while, preparing to separate at a fork in the city.
　　 "If there is no accident, we will gather near the iron gate in four hours. If there is any accident, remember to mark a hexagram at this location."
　　 Then, the main body moves to the left and the mirror image moves to the right, separately exploring this buried city.
　　 The whole city should have been abandoned for a long, long time, and the smell of mechanical decay and rust everywhere.
　　 "Why is there such a hot ball of flame burning in such an abandoned city? Could it be that Nicholas did something?"
　　 Ace thought while exploring ~EbookFREE.me~.
　　 Following the central axis, he gradually walked to a huge steel building.
　　 "The dome, cylindrical, seems to be some kind of performance hall." Esmo speculated with his chin.
　　 He spread the restrained and weakened mental power, condensed into a line, scanning and sensing, and found that there are many seats and a high stage.
　　 "It really is a hall for performances."
　　 Ace opened the door and walked into the hall, seeming to feel that epics had been staged here.
　　 Suddenly, his eyes were a little serious!
　　 "Fresh soil is too rare in this steel city. It seems that someone has entered here!"
　　Unknown explorer, new variables, Ace is solemnly vigilant.
　　 He drove the remaining monsters to enter the buildings first, slowly collecting information. In a steel building, he found a large number of books not made of parchment.
　　 "This seems to be an abandoned library!"
　　 He glanced at random, his expression was a little joyful, unknown language and writing.
　　 The dull hair on Ace's head began to sway. With the help of the book elves, Ace quickly understood this new language and text, which was similar to the Barbarian language, and could even be said to have the same origin.
　　 Maybe the barbarians really have a close relationship with the previous civilization, even the descendants of the previous civilization.
　　""The Chronicles of the Agustin Empire", "The Principle of Steam", "Mechanical Fighters and the Bloodline of Gods", "How to Use Monsters to Make Powerful Fighters", "High Pressure Air Guns and God Blood Transformation", "Universal Bloodline Purification Method"..."
　　 "These books!"
　　 Ace has a feeling of being stunned by luck. These books represent the crystallization of a civilization, completely different from the pure steam age of the previous life. This is the legacy of the magical steampunk civilization!
