House Witch

Chapter 173 172. Whispers of the Ancient Gods

On the other side, junior sisters Dorothy and Audrey were studying the architectural structure of this empty island together.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, no wonder you can resist that kind of magic spell without breaking. The solid materials used are a bit too much. They are all made of special-grade floating stones. What kind of family must be able to afford this."

Dorothy touched the hard ground and couldn't help but sigh.

Floating stone is the main material used by witches to build sky islands. Natural floating stone was originally very rare and precious, but since the witches cracked the composition of floating stone and began to synthesize it artificially, this material has become a bargain.

It's just that although artificial pumice is cheap, in order to save costs in large-scale mass production, the quality is slightly worse than natural ones.

There is almost no difference between the two in their ability to float, but their hardness is completely different.

Natural pumice has a hardness comparable to diamond, but artificial pumice is often only as hard as ordinary stone.

After all, this level of hardness is more than enough for building materials. This is not building a fortress, so why should it be so extravagant?

Of course, if you really have a demand for hardness, you can also find a manufacturer to customize a special-grade pumice stone that completely restores the strength of natural pumice stone, but the price is more than ten times more expensive than ordinary pumice stone.

This thing is positioned as a high-end luxury product, and ordinary witch families really can't afford it.

And now, in the remote Thirteenth Ring Road of the Witch Academy, there is such an empty island made of super-grade floating stone. This is really strange.

This is simply like discovering an exquisite single-family villa in a slum, no matter how you look at it, it is against the rules.

"Junior sister, what do you think?"

The house witch took a deep puff of the Ning Shen cigarette in the pipe on her lips, and then asked Audrey beside her.

"Sister, I think there must be something fishy about this matter."

The little fox also said this with a serious face.

Then the two of them went to observe the collapsed buildings that had turned into ruins. Although these buildings had been completely destroyed, looking at the materials between the broken walls, it was not a big problem.

"Good guy, broken magic wall tiles, dragon scale insulated wooden boards, turtle, what kind of research was done here before, and how high-level treatment does it get?"

You don't know it, but you are shocked at first glance. The previous special-grade pumice stone was already considered a luxury, but now it is like a younger brother compared with these two things.

As the name suggests, magic-breaking wall tiles are special wall tiles that can block magic. Special anti-wear materials are added to these wall tiles during the firing process, and this type of material was originally used to create anti-magic weapons or anti-magic armor. , can be regarded as military supplies, and its preciousness can be seen.

The same is true for dragon scale insulated wood boards. Dragon scale wood is a rare natural material with high magic resistance. This precious wood can only grow in places bathed in dragon blood. Its wood grain is shaped like dragon scales, and it is almost half of a dragon scale. It has magical resistance, so it is called dragon scale insulating wood.

Generally, only high-risk laboratories use a small amount of these two materials to build one or two dedicated laboratories.

The high blocking properties of this type of material against magic power can effectively prevent dangerous leaks in the laboratory, and can also prevent outsiders from using magic to peek.

But again, there is a high-end research institute in the Thirteenth Ring Road. As for using such high-end materials?

Are you probably doing some illegal research, so you sneaked up to the Thirteenth Ring Road on the edge and set up such high-end laboratory specifications?

The two junior fellow apprentices looked at each other, each seeing similar assumptions in the other's eyes.

"Little goblin, have you discovered anything?"

At this moment, Senior Sister Mia also came over, and she asked Dorothy.

"A little bit, senior sister, who is the owner of this laboratory?"

Dorothy was a little confused about whether to tell her findings. After all, she always felt like she was involved in some troublesome incident, so she asked cautiously first.

In response, Mia-senpai looked at the rat witch Ishtar who was following her.

"Miss, the owner of this place is the nearby Tennyson College. This is a college that is about to close down. They are recently listing their assets for sale. This empty island was originally going to be sent to the auction house for auction. As a result, the people from the auction house still refused. I didn’t have time to come over for appraisal, so it ended up like this.”

After hearing such an answer, Dorothy's inspiration jumped wildly, and her radar started to alert frantically even if it was troublesome.

Although it is completely normal for a college to fail to open and close down in the Thirteenth Ring Road, but how could a college that has the ability to build such a super-standard experimental facility just say it? I believe you ghosts.

And how dare you show this kind of super-standard laboratory to the people of the auction house? This professional appraiser can tell the specialness of the building materials at a glance. This must be scary, after all, there are several buildings around it. The total of medium and large commercial islands may not be as valuable as this small island.

So, was it because they were afraid of exposing the problem, so they bombed it in advance and destroyed the evidence?

Dorothy speculated in her mind, but she quickly shook her head and overturned this possibility.

No, no, it probably wasn't the Tennyson College who blew it up themselves. After all, they could have chosen not to auction the laboratory, so why sell and destroy it? Isn't this unnecessary?

So is there a possibility that there are actually two groups of people involved?

As the owner of the laboratory, the school may not know anything about the specialness of this laboratory, so it wants to sell it. But the person who secretly renovated the laboratory behind the school's back didn't want to see his secret discovered, so he planned the attack?

Dorothy made such a conjecture again, and it was reasonable to think so.

But she soon suppressed her curiosity.

"Mom, I can't think about it anymore. This thing is so troublesome. Knowing too much will not end well."

If it was as she expected, then there were too many things involved behind this matter, and it was not something that a weak little witch like her could get involved in. Therefore, she immediately prepared to do more than to do less, and treat it as if it was nothing. Know.

Well, as soon as I got back, I sent a message asking Alice to leave it alone and report the matter directly to the school committee. This was no longer something that the little witches from the Disciplinary Committee could handle. It was better to let the professors and teachers from the school committee take over. This thing is better.

The otaku witch followed the call of her heart and made such a decision.

However, she was just about to open her mouth and find some excuse to fool her, but at this moment, the senior in the hat on her head spoke.

"Interesting, interesting, Dorothy, don't you like this little empty island very much? The school just happens to be selling it, and you don't want to do it? Now that it's badly damaged, it's easy to lower the price."

Senior Sister Fanni issued the whisper of an ancient god and persuaded her like this.

At this, the otaku witch couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Forget it, senior sister. The water is really too deep. I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp it."

Although she really likes the location and environment of this empty island, she has no ability to take over this obviously problematic hot potato. Besides, although this empty island seems to be seriously damaged, those high-end materials can It wasn't that easy to damage, it just fell apart. Most of the materials could still be reused, but she couldn't even afford the materials.

"You can't believe it's me? I'm also a member of this club after all. Although I'm too lazy to move, I can still look after the house."

The ancient god whispered again.

I will post the chapter about squeezing out the toothpaste first, so that tomorrow will be easier, okay.
