Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Chapter 173 Ancient Security Facilities

Dudley did not indulge in the shock of this underground city. He shook off the rotten flesh tissue adhering to his body and quickly rushed to the remains of the Sandstorm Dragon.

If Sally took away the magic core, she removed the power supply of the Sandstorm Dragon. Falling from nearly 200 meters like this, she shattered all the bones of the Sandstorm Dragon. Its huge eyeballs stared at Dudley. From its eyes, Dudley saw many human emotions, hatred, resentment, anger, fear, sadness...

Peter couldn't figure it out until his death. Where did Dudley appear from, clinging to him like a ghost behind him, and whether it was fate or time and space, it seemed that they were on Dudley's side, regardless of Peter. No matter how hard he tried and struggled, he finally fell in front of Dudley like a dead fish.

"Are you... Peter?" Dudley asked in surprise. He could no longer find the half of Peter's body that originally belonged to Peter, but he could see from the eyes of the Sandstorm Dragon that the body of the giant beast was now occupied. , should be Peter's soul.

"Rest in peace. I hope you can be a good person in the next life." Dudley ruthlessly pressed the fusion rifle against the sandstorm dragon's eyeball. Regardless of any creature, the eyeball is always the most vulnerable area of ​​the head.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

Three shots were fired, causing white, red, yellow... all kinds of filth everywhere, until Dudley's ordnance manual sent a prompt:

[Successfully killed the Sandstorm Dragon (lv15).Mission: Desert Hunter (completed once)]

[Acquire 150 hunter points and obtain B-level desert beast ingredient pack*3. ]

Dudley didn't have time to take a closer look at what the reward was, but he could judge whether he had completely killed the Sandstorm Dragon through the mission reward. Who knows if there is any strange escape method for such a huge monster with certain intelligence? .

After killing the dragon and Peter, Dudley shook off the blood on his body, put the fusion gun back in his arm, returned to Sally and said, "Do you know this place?"

Sally's expression was a little excited as she said, "You should have heard the legends about the Wasteland Continent, but I probably know more about ancient history than most humans."

Sally led Dudley as they walked deeper into this magnificent underground city, while explaining simply: "The continent more than 2000 years ago was more than three times larger than it is now. There were many countries that ruled here, and the technology was the most advanced. At its peak, a spacecraft that could travel between the ground and the moon had been developed.”

The moon Sally mentioned is the largest of the three satellites of the planet where the Wasteland Continent is located. Dudley's language module directly translated it as moon, which was easier for Dudley to understand.

"Then there was a world war?" Dudley asked.He visually inspected the size of the city and the size of the collapsed buildings. He estimated that at least 300 million people lived in this royal capital. Although it was far less than the metropolis of the 21st century on earth, it was already considered a prosperous scene in the wasteland continent.

Sally said: "The first lesson I learned from human history is that greed leads to destruction."

Dudley looked at Sally with some surprise. He found that his understanding of Sally was too one-sided. He always felt that she was a giant plant with great supernatural powers. It followed the natural law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. However, with recent communication, he I feel that Sally has richer thoughts even compared to some human philosophers.

"Have you been here?" Dudley asked.

"Today is also the first time," Sally turned around and said with a smile: "In ancient times, this place was also a federal country composed of many city-states. Kemarea was the most powerful city-state, commanding a large area of ​​territory around it, and God Underground in the City of Grant is Gailu Lun, an ally of Kemarea. This is where I was born, grew up, and gained knowledge. The documents of Gelu Lun contain a lot of knowledge about Kemai Rea, and it also makes me wonder. The second lesson I learned was that jealousy makes people crazy.”

"You are a good student..." Dudley felt a little ashamed, and finally understood that he felt some characteristics from Sally that were different from humans. Humans do not learn from failure, but Sally felt that she was in trouble from the bottom of her heart. Overcome the negative emotions in human nature.

She overcame greed, took the initiative to help humans draw water from the depths of the desert, and saved countless desert residents. She never even took credit for herself and silently devoted her efforts;

She overcame her jealousy. Even though she was very interested in Dudley, and even said that it was somewhat similar to the human relationship between men and women, she still spared no effort to help Mia and protect this worldly love rival...

"Hurry up, if we are lucky, we may find something very powerful!" Sally was as excited as a sunny little girl in her prime.

"According to the records of Gelulun, Kemailia is the technological center of the Western Continent. In the final stage of the war, they launched a top-secret plan, and the city sank underground and disappeared," Sally continued: “It’s very well preserved here.”

"There are very few human remains here...have they all been evacuated in advance?" Dudley looked left and right. There were only remains and fragments of buildings and machinery, but no human skeletons.

"Gailulun dropped a large number of magic energy bombs on Kemarea that can completely decompose human flesh..." Sally said with some seriousness. Although she was a person from thousands of years ago, she still felt regretful.

Dudley suddenly realized that it was no longer important what caused the war that spread across the continent thousands of years ago, but Dudley was still curious. If Kemarea's technology had become so advanced that it could travel back and forth to the moon, would there be any possibility? One possibility is that some people built a spaceship and escaped?

"Although Kemailia is very technologically advanced, they are still a theocratic country. The king and priests represent the will of the gods. They believe that the gods live on the moon, and their spaceships are built for pilgrimage." Sally continued. , she is like a tour guide. Although it is her first time here, she seems very familiar.

They passed through streets one after another and arrived at a very open square, which should be the center of Kemarea.

"I think it should be here!" Sally said in surprise.

Dudley looked left and right, but he didn't see anything strange. This oval square with a slight bulge in the middle was made of hard basalt, but even if there were some symbols or mechanisms carved on the floor, they were still there. The shock wave of a certain big explosion had almost completely destroyed it. Coupled with more than 2000 years, the surface has been completely weathered and no graphics can be seen.

However, Sally did not look for clues as slowly as a human archaeologist. She stood in the center of the square, and her hands and feet began to sprout thin vine branches, which began to spread in all directions along the gaps in the stone slabs on the ground of the square.

"The basis of technology is the use of energy. Human beings in the ancient kingdom are very different from the earth you are on. They do not use fossil energy, but inadvertently obtain magic energy. The crystal core of the Sandstorm Demonic Dragon is also magic energy ore. Some ancient books mentioned speculation about the source of magic energy. It may be the energy leaked out from the core of the planet after being damaged in some way. However, this has not been verified... Below this square is Kemai Rui. Ya's magic energy system hub, I should be able to find a way to activate it..." Sally closed her eyes and explained to Dudley.

It looked like he couldn't find the group for a while, so Dudley found a slightly damaged high platform, climbed up carefully, put on the night vision goggles, and looked around.This place is so hidden. If they hadn't gotten into the sandstorm dragon's body by mistake, who would have thought that hundreds of meters underground in the vast desert, there would be such a large underground space and a building hidden there. Such a magnificent city.

He saw many devices similar to city defense weapons. Although they were seriously damaged, they could still be seen as powerful when intact. If scientists from the Iron Lion Principality saw them, they would probably go crazy with joy on the spot.

In today's wasteland continent, many technologies were developed through reverse engineering of the remnants of ancient kingdoms. Dudley was not interested in those cannons. He focused his attention on the building in the distance that resembled a spaceship launcher.

The moon, the satellite of the earth, hides many secrets that are horrifying to think about. They have not yet been solved. What secrets does the moon of the wasteland continent hide?What did the humans of the ancient kingdom discover on the moon?Is there really a god living up there?

Dudley was deep in thought when a slight sound of machine activity suddenly came from the square. He was startled and turned around to look, startled.

Because many cells and tissues were branched out to form tiny vine branches to explore the magic energy hub hidden under the square, Sally became like a seven or eight-year-old girl. She was still branching out more branches and leaves, trying to expand the scope of the search, but Around her, at some point, eight large stone tablets over three meters high had risen.

"Dudley, I seem to have touched the security facility!" Sally said anxiously, her eyes still closed. Controlling hundreds of vine branches required a lot of energy and concentration from her.

Dudley gritted his teeth and his wrist turned into a revolver. He quickly jumped down from the high platform, just in time to see a black door open on a stone monument, and a brass-colored statue standing in it. It had a body similar to that of a human. , wearing gorgeous metal armor with exquisite patterns etched on it, but its shoulders and arms were impressively equipped with energy-fusion weapons.

Of course Dudley would not regard it as an ancient work of art. It looked like the alien robots depicted in some science fiction movies. It was a mechanical soldier guarding the central square of the ancient kingdom.

"Bang!" Dudley struck decisively first, and shot the mechanical soldier in the head. It must have gone through a long time, and the originally strong helmet was no longer as strong as it used to be, and was shot out by Dudley's bullet. A deep pit.

But the head of the mechanical soldier was not blown apart. Instead, the power of the statue seemed to be activated. Six bright lights lit up on its head. Then, the mechanical soldier seemed to have a switch turned on, and it shook left and right. Walked out of the big stone monument.
