Chapter 910: Finding the Laboratory Inside the Ice Throne Secret Realm
"Just as you have learned, the Ancient Glacial Ice Clan is indeed an ancient life race revived by witches, belonging to very precious life assets."
"As for what you learned about the relationship between the Ancient Glacial Ice and the Great Snow Throne Spell, it is true. The creation inspiration and ability derivation of the Great Snow Throne Spell were taken from this race. In other words, they are indeed the most compatible with those fragments you hold."
"So... if those Ancient Glacial Ice gather all the fragments, doesn't it mean their power can rival a Grand Spellbook?"
"Strictly speaking, it cannot compare."
The mentor shook her head and denied this conjecture.
"Then... the academy's attitude towards the Ancient Glacial Ice Clan is..."
"Precious experimental material, valuable academy property. The academy does not wish for the Ancient Glacial Ice Clan to be exterminated again, at least guarantee the survival of the royal bloodline. As for the rest, the academy will not care."
"Mentor... the academy should have mentioned this point to us earlier."
"At first, we didn't think you could exterminate the Ancient Glacial Ice Clan, and the most correct choice should have been to cooperate with the Ancient Glacial Ice Clan to develop the Secret Realm, but what a pity..."
Speaking up to here, this mentor also stopped speaking.
The academy's help basically ended here.
The rest was up to them.
As for whether they would change their strategic direction later, that was also their own business.
Since they admitted their ability was insufficient and wanted to skip the test to get some help in intelligence and information, then the academy wouldn't be polite with them, stating their bottom line.
While the academy clubs got busy again because of this news, Tan Han and the others had already arrived at their destination.
"Finally found it! It's the main laboratory!"
"Can't be sure yet. Let's go in first, don't damage the structure between the building and the ice layer."
Although Tan Han said so, her tone was also full of excitement!
They also searched for quite a while before finding the entrance in this experimental area.
The laboratory here wasn't a single building, but an experimental area stretching over a large region.
Tan Han also used detection spells to roughly map the terrain before locking onto the building they wanted to enter.
And the materials used to build these were also extraordinary.
Although buried under the snow, and many spell structures, rune rituals, inscribed inscriptions, etc., had failed, this still cost Tan Han and the others a lot of effort to finally open an opening.
As for entering from the main entrance?
Sorry, the door was even more outrageous than the wall, so they decisively gave up entering from the main entrance.
But after entering inside, the three of them were confused.
"Tan Han, do you know how to operate these devices? Feels like they've been in disrepair for years, right?"
"Go find the energy supply center first, see if it's magic power driven. Then go look for paper materials, collect them all. Xiao You, cooperate with me to operate the relevant equipment and docking of the Earth Vein system."
Tan Han arranged methodically.
The equipment in the laboratory inside the Secret Realm required past Earth Vein system related equipment for docking, unable to actively dock with the Seed of Great Knowledge unless forcibly docked using the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell, but that would only be an interaction at the information level.
Previously, they had also encountered some small temporarily built laboratories, so naturally, they knew some operations of Earth Vein equipment, so this was a very tedious process.
The Ancient Glacial Ice knew nothing about this, so it was responsible for keeping watch under this ice layer.
As for Lucianne... she was placed in a convenient place for now; anyway, she had no major issues currently.
After being busy for a while, the laboratory suddenly flickered, and energy supply began in the laboratory; even the most basic lighting could be provided.
However, this laboratory was very large, and there were many partitions.
Tan Han and the others could only take it step by step; they couldn't rush this kind of thing.
At this time, me, far away in the Primal Dream State laboratory.
I also noticed Tan Han's movements and the information she shared.
At this moment, I was guiding the three body cultivator witches to adapt to the environment of the Primal Dream State.
They were not me after all; many things couldn't be described clearly with language.
So I used the Consciousness Communication Spell to barely let them understand the situation.
But this spell couldn't be used in the Primal Dream State.
It had to be experimented in reality first, then return to the Dream State.
After all, spells couldn't be used inside the Dream State.
Although this method could promote their understanding of concepts indescribable by language, it couldn't be described in a timely manner.
After all, "experience" was something that couldn't be delayed.
However, Muli and Fannie, having Self-awakened Body Cultivation, made delightful progress.
After all, in the Primal Dream State, the only thing they could rely on was their soul essence, and Self-awakened Body Cultivation was their foundation in the Primal Dream State.
Although it couldn't be counted as "power" yet, Self-awakened Body Cultivation was the cornerstone for them to structure power in the Primal Dream State!
That's why I said they were much more impressive than Big Sis Bai.
It would take them not many days to reach the level Big Sis Bai took at least half a month to start!
As for comparing with me... of course, I didn't recommend letting them compare with me.
After all, self-discovery and being guided by others were two concepts.
The speed of exploring the unknown and the speed of learning were incomparable.
The only pity currently was that they were not practitioners of the Great Project of the Soul.
Even cramming related knowledge was a bit too late.
But this was nothing to me.
Any theory can be verified by practice!
Teaching theory during the process of practice would make the memory more profound.
However, Long without Self-awakened Body Cultivation had much slower progress.
But compared to Big Sis Bai, her experience, insight, and comprehension ability far exceeded Big Sis Bai.
Even in a domain she had never touched, she showed considerable "talent".
However, this unquantifiable talent still couldn't compare to Muli and Fannie with Self-awakened Body Cultivation.
Long could only rely on Heart Sense, then borrow the feeling of Emotional Body Cultivation to adapt to the environment and order in the Primal Dream State.
If she wanted to structure a power, an order, she could only rely on her own soul and the understanding of Heart Sense to forcibly shape that "order".
The path she walked was the same as Big Sis Bai.
After confirming that the Dream State Domain experiment at this moment required no interference from me, I went to the Fool's Dream, confirmed there would be no problems, and then dealt with the issue on Tan Han's side.
The data Tan Han shared successively was very messy, but these data were quickly integrated by the Great Tree of Knowledge.
This was research data related to the Great Snow Throne Spell.
By analogy, it was like a small part of the research data on the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell given to me by Academy Head Mei.
After all, creating a Grand Spellbook required researching many things, then integrating all these to achieve a Grand Spellbook.
The Great Snow Throne was the same.
There were even some common coincidences.
After all, the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell was completed by Academy Head Mei using the Fool's Dream as inspiration, while the Great Snow Throne Spell was innovated by the Ancient Glacial Ice race.
Of course, this was merely a similarity.
The creation style and research direction of the two Grand Spellbooks were completely different.
After all, every witch had her own rhythm, and this also represented that every Grand Spellbook was unique.
Regarding the information Tan Han transmitted currently, I mostly took a rough look, then backed it up into the Great Tree of Knowledge for retention, then organized and simplified it, and finally fed it back to Tan Han and the others.
After all, I wouldn't go looking for trouble to research another Grand Spellbook for no reason now.
Providing them with necessary help was the limit of what I could do.
But unfortunately, the data Tan Han transmitted currently didn't mention information related to the fragmentation of the Grand Spellbook, so these had no meaning for Tan Han and the others.
What they needed most now was intelligence related to fragmentation and techniques on how to "integrate" these fragments.
And just when Tan Han and the others were busy almost forgetting to eat and sleep, a lying figure gradually had movement.
She instinctively reached out her hand, trembling somewhat in panic yet weakly, emitting a light hum from her mouth as if losing her voice.
Until she faintly woke up, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, she had some sense of memory displacement.
She only felt that this moment didn't match her memory.
The air was no longer the wind and snow that stung with a breath, but had a somewhat stale smell, and the unique smell of dust.
Then she felt a trace of warmth.
"What exactly happened to me..."
Lucianne's opened eyes were filled with confusion.
She lay on the ground like this.
The chill rising from the cold ground penetrated her clothes, stimulating her nerves, making her more awake.
Only the comfortable warmth aside gave her a trace of solace in the cold.
She turned her head to look.
It was a candlestick.
The light and heat of a candle were insufficient to provide her with such a warm environment, so this could only be an alchemical item.
Someone saved her?
This was Lucianne's first reaction.
But those people seemed not to be by her side, so she slowly got up, then found her injuries had healed quite a bit.
Immediately, she seemed to realize something and touched a certain part of her body.
"Sure enough gone... clothes also shattered, by those Ice Crystal Monsters..."
After figuring these out, a trace of anger rose in her heart, but was quickly washed away.
Just abandoned, that's all, to buy them time to escape.
Those Ice Crystal Monsters indeed locked onto her Heart of Cold Tide.
Just as Lucianne was thinking like this, she suddenly felt something seemed to be beside her.
When she looked over, her pupils shrank sharply!
It was an Ice Crystal Monster!
Lucianne instantly endured the discomfort of her body to leave here, but because of unfamiliarity with the environment, she made a big commotion here.
"Hmm? That direction... looks like Lucianne woke up?"
Tan Han and Xiao You noticed this movement immediately.
Then Tan Han said to Xiao You: "I'll continue. I'll go over after finishing this. You go appease Lucianne first."
"Mm, okay."
Xiao You nodded and went out immediately.
Then she saw Lucianne confronting Lie at this moment.
"Stop! Lucianne! Don't attack!"
Xiao You hurriedly spoke.
If she didn't stop it, Lucianne would throw a spell over!
This was a laboratory.
Any destructive spell would cause irreversible damage here!
"Who?"
Lucianne just wanted to resist desperately, but her physical condition was really too bad.
Now a person who knew her appeared, even able to call out her name.
No matter what, that could be considered a good thing.
"Don't attack, we can talk things over!"
"What do you mean? This Ice Crystal Monster in front won't..."
"Ice Crystal Monster... what a nasty address. I have my name."
Lie spoke upon hearing Lucianne's words.
"Wh... What!"
This was the first time she heard an "Ice Crystal Monster" actually speak!
"That's why I said don't attack! Lucianne, it is our friend, name is Lie. Don't attack! Okay?"
"It's you... Xiao You."
Quickly, Lucianne recognized who came.
"Mm, that's right, it's us. We saved you back. Can you be quiet first? It's very safe here. The most extreme person is actually you."
"Where is this place?"
"A laboratory inside the Secret Realm. I understand you still have many questions, but we will answer these questions for you. But the premise is you don't cause trouble for us."
While Xiao You was trying to appease Lucianne, Shi Ruizhi also put down her work and came over directly because of the commotion here.
Followed by Tan Han...
After some explanation, such misunderstanding was slightly resolved.
But Lucianne still had some guard against Lie at the side, as if afraid it would finish her off anytime.
"So you temporarily reached cooperation with the Ice Crystal... mm, Ancient Glacial Ice Clan, found this laboratory, met me heavily injured and dying on the way, and saved me..."
"That's about it. Actually, I didn't welcome you staying much."
Xiao You spoke from the side.
"But ultimately, out of some sentiment, we saved you. But you also have to understand, we also bore huge risks."
Tan Han spoke.
"Then what do you want? My Heart of Cold Tide has been... snatched by the Ancient Glacial Ice. I can't provide you with any help."
"We don't expect you to help with anything. I saved you only because you have some friendship with Little Han, nothing more. But given your identity issue, if you stay here and act with us, I need you to sign a mandatory temporary accompanying contract."
"Contract? Sure. Whatever you want. Anyway, this life of mine was saved by you."
Lucianne accepted this statement very naturally.
After all... she had been abandoned by those people, or discarded.
If she wanted to live, she could only follow Tan Han and the others before her.
"Quite open-minded, worthy of someone who walked through the threshold of death. I'll draft the contract. You shouldn't mind telling us your story, right? What exactly happened that made them abandon you?"
While asking, Tan Han took out parchment and began drafting the Witch's Contract.
"Actually nothing much. If you want to listen, I'll just say it... consider it satisfying your curiosity..."
Lucianne said, her eyes falling into recollection.
Only some emotions rising in her were very complex, sometimes powerless, sometimes angry, sometimes dejected.
But now, everything has passed.
