Chapter 63:
There was no rush to enter the house, Duke had to ensure safety first.
He walked to the window. The glass was a little blurry, and the room was very dark on a cloudy day, making it difficult to see clearly what was inside.
"It would be great if there was a flashlight!"
Duke complained a little. The Erudite Tower of the Seven Towers Federation had invented light sources such as the Spirit Wind Lamp, but they were too big and inconvenient.
You can't let him go on an adventure with a lamp in his hand.
"Xiaoyi, take note. Once the 1.2 scope version of the Sand Eagle is successfully developed, we will immediately start developing the 1.3 tactical light version of the Sand Eagle!"
He wanted to install a light on the Sand Eagle so that he could shoot at will at night.
"Okay Master."
"By the way, how is the development progress of 1.2? Is it still stuck at 67.3% and unable to move?" "
Reporting to you, Master - Process 3: Sand Eagle 1.2 Scope Version, R&D consumes 47% power. Current R&D The progress is 67.3%. The technical points have not yet been calculated and the time budget cannot be estimated." "
Let's change it. Keep the progress of version 1.2 and develop version 1.3 first. It is just a tactical light. It should be successfully developed soon." "
Okay. Master, we have changed the new research and development process for you." Xiaoyi immediately executed.
At this time, Duke had already peeked through the window and had a glimpse of the interior of the wooden house.
This wooden house is not small, it must be one hundred square meters. Through several windows, you can see a kitchen, a study room, and a workshop filled with bottles and cans. There are also stairs leading to the attic on the roof, which is a very exquisite layout.
Go back to the front door of the cabin.
There was no padlock on the door. Duke tried to push it, and a large amount of dust shook off, but the door did not open.
"Is it locked from the inside?" He was a little surprised.
Then with a strong force, the latch on the door of the wooden house was broken, and the door opened with a sound.
Kabuto stood up from his shoulders nervously. He didn't feel any danger, but his instinct began to get nervous for the unfamiliar and gloomy place.
It was probably the living room, with very simple furnishings.
A table, two benches, and no other furniture.
Duke carefully checked the corners and determined that the wooden house must have been in ruins for a long time, and the floors and walls had been corroded with holes.
The dust is even thicker.
Pushing open the door from the living room to other places, the first thing you see is the kitchen, which has an old-style spiritual rice cooker and a spiritual stove. However, it has not been used for a long time, and the appearance has become rusty and corroded. There is also a spirit storage card inserted into the card machine interface of the spirit weapon.
Duke wanted to pull out the spirit storage card, only to find that the spirit storage card had been corroded with the interface of the card machine, and it shattered with force.
"Completely scrapped..." Duke let go of his hand.
Not a single spiritual weapon in the entire kitchen was well preserved, all were rusted and corrupted.
However, you can see from the sink that there are piles of dishes. It seems that someone has put the dishes in before but has not started cleaning them.
Leaving the kitchen, he entered another room.
Inside is the study room. The bookshelf is filled with various books. There is also an unfolded book on the desk. It is slightly moldy, but it does not affect reading.
"Leon's Bones", this is the title of the book.
"Xiaoyi, have I read this book?" Duke asked.
"The owner has not read it, but there is a book title in the database. This is a novel, not a professional book."
Duke has read almost all the professional books in the town's Faling Society, but he is not interested in non-professional novels and poems. Category, see very few.
He walked to the bookshelf again.
Scanning through it, I found that many of them were literary and artistic books such as novels, poems, and dramas, but there were also some professional books.
"Alchemy's Inspiration to Life, Charles' Circle of Time, Analyzing the Soul, Evil Immortality, Assembling Puppet Parts..." Duke found that he had not read most of these. The Book Law Spirit Society did not recruit.
He glanced to the other side of the bookshelf, which was stacked not with books but with newspapers, magazines and periodicals.
""Daily Puppet", "Journal of Life", "Introduction to Arcane Tower", "Daily Shenjiao Market", "Spirituality"...these are all academic journals and newspapers!" Duke couldn't wait to open a copy of "Arcane Tower" "Introduction to Shu Tower".
He had heard about this journal.
When he was at the Magic Spirit Pagoda in Shenjiao City, he saw subscription information. Spiritual apprentices could subscribe, but each issue cost 5 silver dragons.
Knowledge needs to be paid for!
This is the code of the Arcane Mage!
Duke truly understood this truth when he opened the journal. The inside of the journal was completely blank, with no words or pictures.
"There is no doubt that this journal has contract restrictions. It can only be read by the contractor, and there is also a time limit."
Just like the "Universal Blood Refining Method" he purchased, it can only be read by one person.
Then he opened many journals and magazines one after another, and found that most of them were just like "Introduction to Offa Tower", blank.
Just some newspapers and a few magazines with text and pictures.
He read one of the newspapers, "Daily Shenjiaoshi", which showed that the publication date was July 18, 4382 in the storm calendar.
"4382?"
Duke himself was born in 4396. This newspaper was 14 years earlier than he was born, that is, it was published 29 years ago.
"At that time, Snake Head Town hadn't even been established yet. It was just a small town in the war to open up the Black Snake Lair, right?"
This "Daily Shenjiao Market" was also the latest newspaper in the bookshelf, which means, It was about this time that the owner of the cabin left.
"And this person should be an arcane mage!" Duke was convinced.
For one person to be able to subscribe to so many newspapers, magazines and periodicals with contracts, it is obvious that he has amazing financial resources, and these magazines are quite professional. Unless they are people in the spiritual arcana industry, ordinary people will not subscribe to these magazines.
"Twenty-nine years ago, an arcane mage built this wooden house here, far away from the city at that time... I don't know what the purpose was, but he must be dead. There are no undead people in the pioneering war. Yes, the arcane mage will die as well."
If not.
It is impossible for the arcane mage to abandon this wooden house. No matter what, the spiritual weapons, spirit cards, and books in the wooden house should be taken away.
He put down the "Daily Shenjiao Market" in his hand, left the study, and entered the last room.
When he opened the door, he was greeted by a rotten smell.
There is a long table against the wall, which is piled with various bottles and cans. It could not be seen clearly from the window before, but now it can be seen clearly.
Duke's pupils suddenly dilated.
Not only were there various insects, animal specimens, and some turbid colorful liquids in the bottles, but there were also human heads in a few bottles in the corners.
The head was soaked in the liquid, and the eyes were still wide open.
"Human experiments?"
Duke gasped.
Suddenly, I understood why an arcane mage wanted to build a wooden house to live in a jungle far away from the city.
Isn't this just for research on human subjects?
"Arcane Mage..." After the shock, Duke quickly accepted it calmly.
There are scientists all over the earth doing all kinds of unethical experiments. In this world with extraordinary power, it is not incredible for arcane mages to conduct experiments on people - after entering the extraordinary realm, some arcane mages may not even treat ordinary people. Become a human being.
"Huh!"
Duke calmed down and left the specimen storage room. He was going to go to the attic to take a look. The arcanist's human experiments were probably carried out in the attic.
