Release that Witch - Chapter 1076

[Chapter 1054 The Place of Sacrifice]

“Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Chenxi!” The guard walked into the office and placed a thick sheepskin bag next to Roland’s mahogany table. “According to the messenger, Xiao En entrusted them to deliver it.”

“Oh?” Roland couldn’t help but regain his spirits. He put down the design drawing of the biplane in his hand, stood up and said, “Take it apart and have a look.”

It has been almost two months since the exploration team left Neverwinter, and the last time they heard from them was when they crossed the border of Graycastle.

The moment he learned that the source was not within the territory, Roland was still a little worried. After all, mining and transporting ore is a long-term process, and the first army has limited mobility. The farther away from his sphere of influence, the more difficult it is to control the plan.

Now that he finally got a reply, he was naturally very concerned.

But what surprised him secretly was that the package was too big, almost reminding him of express mail in later generations.

No matter whether it was found or not, a piece of letter paper could clarify the situation. What kind of situation did the exploration team encounter to make Xiao En send such a large package back?

“It’s full of papers,” Nightingale said, probably seeing his doubts.

“Paper?” Roland turned his head and asked in a low voice, “Could it be that your ability has evolved to see through objects?”

“I’d like to think so, but unfortunately it’s not.” Nightingale lazily said, “I just reached into the bag and fumbled when the other party entered the door.”

So that’s the case, her vigilance is really… wait, Roland suddenly felt something was wrong, when Evelyn came with a new Chaos drink, or when the chef came in with a snack trolley, would she also Such a “touch”?

Having said that, it seems that the portion of afternoon tea has been reduced recently?

“Your Majesty, it’s full of paper,” the guard’s words interrupted his thoughts, “and most of them are covered with ink.”

What is this new way of reporting?

Roland looked inside, “Is there no letter to read?”

“Please wait a moment…” After the guard poured out all the contents of the sheepskin bag, he finally found something new, “There is a letter with sealing wax at the bottom.”

“Take it here.”

“These blacked out papers—”

“Let’s spread it all out on the floor,” he ordered. “Sean can’t spend a lot of energy and send back a bunch of useless things.”

“Yes!”

Roland sat back on the chair and opened the envelope.

Judging by the date, it should have been posted a week and a half ago.

Like the bag, this letter is also surprisingly long, with as many as ten or so pages—it’s hard to imagine that an exploration result needs to be expressed in such a lengthy discourse.

This may also be the reason why the other party used the urgent method of reporting, but did not transfer it to the animal messenger after entering the northern border of Graycastle.

“Your Majesty, Ms. Azima has found the source you want—it’s at the northeast junction of Dawn and Wolfheart, where the locals call it Cage Mountain.”

Sean’s first words made Roland feel relieved.

Fortunately, this trip is not fruitless. The mining area is still within the Kingdom of Dawn, which means that he can control the entire mining process through the Quinn family. Well done.

Moreover, the other party’s wording didn’t seem complicated, which also made him more curious about the content behind it.

“It’s just that the source is not in the mine, but in a very ancient ruin. What’s even more incredible is that it neither belongs to the underground civilization nor has anything to do with the Taquila fugitives. We once suspected that it might come from the sea devil hand, but Miss Witch’s discovery refuted this conjecture.”

“Your Majesty, this is definitely a relic left by an ethnic group that has never been known to us.”

Roland frowned suddenly.

Did the unknown new alien race haunt the territory of the Four Kingdoms?

This is information that even the Witch Union has not mentioned.

Although this territory was barren and backward in the past, it does not mean that they will ignore their rear area. If there are alien activities, it is unlikely to escape the witch’s detection.

That is to say, if Sean’s conclusion is correct, then they probably existed earlier than the underground civilization.

The key question is, why is this group so interested in uranium ore?

He then looked down.

“The masons left a large number of murals on the stone walls at the bottom of the ruins. The various monsters shown in the paintings do not match the images of alien races we know. Through speculation on their contents, Ms. Rosser and I both believe that this This building is most likely a place of execution.”

“Not only is it located on the source of the ore veins, the masons also fired the ore into bricks to lay the walls and the ground – Azima observed the existence of the same elements in every corner of the ruins, even the murals A lot of mineral raw materials were also used. And around the ground floor, we found a lot of cages and bones, which are also reflected in the murals.”

“They seem to have imprisoned a large number of enemies here-including not only aliens, but also those of the same kind as the executioners, and then used the power of the source to torture each other, as if doing so would please their gods.”

“I have tried my best to print those murals, and sent the courier of the Tokat family to Neverwinter. However, due to the limited number of protective clothing and the huge size of the painting, the current progress is relatively slow. The murals you see are just Part of it is expected to take one to two months to complete.”

“In addition, I am very worried about Ms. Rosser’s situation. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com She did not wear protective clothing to enter the ground, so I don’t know if she will encounter the danger you mentioned. The local people discovered this ruin earlier, As a result, they were infected with a strange disease during the search, and many people died, so it is also called the Temple of the Cursed. In addition, judging from the execution purpose of the ruins, this danger should exist.”

“Oops.” After reading this, Roland couldn’t help whispering.

“What’s the matter?” Nightingale asked in the mist, “Even if the God’s Punishment Witch is cursed, changing her body can solve all problems, so there’s no need to worry about them, right?”

“What I’m worried about is not God’s Punishment Witch, but Sean and Azima.” He shook his head solemnly, “According to the plan, they shouldn’t stay in the mining area for so long.”

Whether it is uranium ore or highly enriched uranium, the decay radiation is mainly alpha particles, and it is difficult to penetrate the skin and cause harm to the human body, but this does not mean that it is the same in mining areas.

The situation is different when you consider that these radioactive elements have existed for hundreds of millions of years, some of which have decayed into more dangerous elements, such as radon.

The half-life of radon is only 3.8 days, and it is a gas itself, so it is very easy to be inhaled into the body to form internal radiation, so it must be shielded.

The protective clothing he prepared for the exploration team was designed for going deep into the mining area-the fully-wrapped jacket can effectively isolate a variety of highly toxic elements decayed in the uranium mine, and the activated carbon mask can absorb radon and other toxic gases , As long as they don’t stay in the mining area for a long time, they can basically guarantee safety.

But it will be different after a long time. The adsorption of carbon particles is limited, which means that people who participate in rubbing murals may inhale radon gas that exceeds the safety standard, and thus receive excessive ionizing radiation.

“They must evacuate the ruins immediately.” Roland picked up a pen and paper from the table, “Call Honey over here, and this reply letter must be delivered to them as soon as possible.”
