"Tell me." Catherine took the three of them into the room with a strange smile, and sat first on the soft chair in the living room, staring silently at Lina and Vivian.
"Haha, hehe." Lina looked around with a slight look, and said with a dry smile: "Sister, you are laughing... so dangerous, hahaha." Vivian sat aside with her neck shrank and nodded.
"Yes, hahahaha." Catherine laughed dryly, and suddenly rowed the coffee tables: "Don't change the topic, tell me honestly, what's going on with you?"
"Woo, sister, don't you know everything?" Vivian lowered her head and muttered in a low voice.
"I want you to tell me in person." Catherine stared at her eyes and pursed her lips and said angrily: "Ask this big thing, I didn't discuss it with me, but I didn't tell me, what do you think of me?"
"We are afraid you will worry." Vivian lowered her head, whispered like a child who made a mistake: "We don't want you to worry, so we hide it from you."
"Then, do you think I'm not worried about hiding it from me?" Catherine looked at Vivian calmly: "Or, do you think I'm not trustworthy at all and can't support you in sharing the dangers for you?"
"No, sister, you are of course trustworthy." Vivian stood up in panic and explained incoherently insignificantly.
After a long time, I sat down dejectedly, lowered my head and whispered: "I'm sorry, sister, I was wrong."
"Look at it." Lina poked Panis and leaned into her ear and whispered: "Does the eldest sister look like a mother who was deceived by her child for the first time?"
"Lina, shut up." Catherine turned her head and glared at Lina: "And you, Vivian sometimes can't turn her mind, and you go crazy with her? I know if you know there is a possible danger there, and you run away if you are not ready. Do you think your life is so cheap?"
The girls hung their heads listlessly and listened to Catherine's anger in frustration. Catherine's reprimand lasted for half an hour until she was dry and she was not over. Catherine picked up the water that Panis had just prepared for her on the coffee table and took a sip of it, and sighed: "Okay, I won't scold you two anymore, let's talk about your actions this month in detail."
Seeing that Catherine was finally no longer angry, Lina and Vivian looked at each other and smiled. Vivian thought for a while and said, "Lina and I went to Angus Village first to look at it, and found that there was really nothing hidden, so we left there and went back to Neville Federation."
"We first went to Chenfeng Town in Neville, bought a small house in a corner of the town, and then in the basement of the house, magic, we opened a very small secret room and arranged an exit for a one-way teleportation array." Lina continued Vivian's narration, "After that we went to Wufeng Town in Neville, bought a small house in the downtown area, and set up a one-way teleportation array exit. Finally, we returned to Kanzier Town, bought a third house in the outer ring area, and built an entrance for a one-way teleportation array. These three teleportation arrays are encrypted and can only be opened with a fixed special frequency."
"So, you are back to the laboratory at the lower level of the Crying Cave?" Catherine nodded and said, "But how did you enter the lower level of the cave, and how did you break through the entrance of the laboratory that was completely destroyed?"
"We don't need to break through." Vivian said proudly: "When we were still inside, I had secretly set up the entrance to the one-way teleportation array. So, after the entrance to Kanzier Town was set up, we activated the teleportation array, went directly into the laboratory, and then arranged the entrances to match the other two magic arrays inside, so that we had an entrance and two exits to use. Now I plan to ask Panis to help me take another portable teleportation array port to the River of Fire at the lower level of the Crying Cave, and ask the Fire Element Dylan to keep it as a backup emergency entrance and exit. If the entry and exit are separated, we can basically ensure that there will be no danger."
"This is the situation now." Lina concluded: "According to the rule that the two ends of the teleportation array cannot exceed 300 kilometers, we randomly selected two locations as exits within 300 kilometers around the laboratory, and separated the exit entrances, so as to ensure that even if an accident occurs, we will not be blocked in the laboratory. Then Vivian transformed the alchemy puppets in the guard area, rewrite some of the puppets into daily life, responsible for daily hygiene in the laboratory, and activate the other combat-type ones, so that even if someone breaks in, they will retreat in front of a large number of alchemy puppets. What we need to do next is to carry a lot of food to supplement the cold storage inside every time we accompany Vivian in for the experiment, so that we can live in it for a long time."
"You guys are very careful." Catherine's face finally soothed: "But if you live for a long time, is there no problem with the concentration of the demonized energy inside?"
"It's absolutely fine." Lina said with certainty: "It's fine to live in it for a month or even two months. As long as you come out to bask in the sun, it won't have any impact on your body."
"So, now that laboratory is completely under our control?" Catherine finally felt relieved, took a breath, and suddenly reached out and poked the two girls' heads: "You two bastards, I'm scared. Do you know how worried I'm about this month. If you can't sleep well every night, can't you let me save some snacks? Two fools."
"So we bring you a gift to apologize." Vivian quickly grabbed her big backpack while protecting her head with one hand, took out three items from the backpack and put them in front of Catherine: "Sister, look, this is a gift."
"Is the collection of the former director?" Catherine was diverted from her eyes by the gift and let the two girls go: "Well, this is a metal engraving by Master Marligas. This is very valuable. Why haven't you seen it before?"
"We found the director's office in the core area where we didn't have time to explore." Vivian proudly showed off: "These gifts were found in the office. Sister, please appreciate the gifts first, and give you a super surprise later."
"Is that?" Catherine was very doubtful whether the so-called surprise was like Vivian said, but she looked at the next gift: "Ah, this is a porcelain plate in the style of Pattaya dynasty in the mid-Terminal period. This plate is now at least 50,000 gold coins. And this one should be the standard wrist guard of the Sea Clan Guard that was popular for a while ago. It can use the fighting spirit to activate the water element that summons every ten days. Although I am very dissatisfied with your rash entry this time, I have to admit that with these three things, your harvest has exceeded our last harvest."
"What's this?" Vivian curled his lips: "Most of all the equipment there can still be used after maintenance. There are many large instruments, and each of them is no worse than these three."
"Yes." Lina also patted her bulging backpack: "And look, I brought back a lot of good friends. Every time I go in, I can bring out a lot of them. This is my most satisfying harvest."
Catherine sighed and said, "Although you have gained a lot, I still want to warn you again, no next time. If there is anything, everyone can discuss it. Just like this time, although I will feel a little risky and I may nag, but if you persist, can I not accompany you? Without me as a shield for you and without Panis helping you explore and alert, can you guarantee that you will be as lucky as this time? So, you will definitely not be allowed in the future, do you understand?"
"Ha, thank you for your forgiveness, sister." Lina and Vivian took Catherine's hand and shook it hard a few times: "Never again."
"Hmph, you should thank Panis for your help." Catherine said: "If he hadn't always been like me, I would have chased after me."
"Hehe, thank you, Panis." Lina said thank you, but she grinned at Panis and made a threatening expression.
Panis shrugged with laughter and cry: "No matter what the process is, there is finally a satisfactory result now. Then, from the Institute of Crying Cave..."
"No, now we're called Nellie Adventure Group Research Institute." Vivian said with her tender breasts and raised her head: "Our institute is our second base."
"Okay, okay." Panis changed his words: "So, what can you find in the Nellie Adventure Group Institute that can be called surprise?"
"Hehe, you would never have imagined." Vivian mysteriously took out a neat stack of paper and spread it on the coffee table: "A message, a very important message."
"What information?" Catherine and Pennis asked while looking at the paper.
"Do you remember the records we found in the locked room of the director? The report written by the director to King Naren mentioned in it about a treasure room that only the royal family of Naren knew." Lina lowered her voice, looking very mysterious.
"Of course I remember." Catherine's eyes lit up: "Can this piece of paper be..."
"That's right." Vivian said: "This is the map of the storage room. The marks made in magical essays have been translated into common terms, but those marks are not very important, and they are some surrounding place names from the past."
"Well, it seems that this is in the center of the Glitter Forest." Catherine lay next to the coffee table, holding a contemporary map in her hand, carefully comparing it with the map on the coffee table: "Although there are some changes, most of the terrain has not changed. It should be the southwest position in the middle of the Glitter Forest."
"This is also more reasonable. The area controlled by the Naren Kingdom at that time included a part of the Shining Forest. It was entirely possible that their treasure room was built inside the forest." Lina nodded in agreement.
"But, the Glitter Forest is so big." Catherine frowned and said, "Where is it?"
"It should be near a hill." Vivian pointed to the map and said, "You see the illustration here, it should represent the hill. And I have a painting I found together. I think it should be a code word that hints at the entrance of the treasure room, but I can't understand it."
Vivian took out what she mentioned. The picture was very simple. It was in a dark cave. There was a long straight tunnel at the top of the cave and directly led to the outside world. From the entrance of the tunnel, you could see a full moon in the sky. There was a small pool on the center of the cave, which just reflected the moon in the sky.
"What is it implying?" The four people looked at each other, and no one could understand the content in the painting.
"Don't worry." Catherine finally made a decision: "Let's go for three days, and then set out in three days, and target the Shining Forest. By the way, who are you more familiar with Shining Forest?"
Despite asking this, the three girls' eyes never left Panis's face. Panis scratched his cheeks under great pressure: "Don't look at me, although I have been there, I'm not familiar with it."
