House Witch

  Chapter 173 172. Whispers of the Ancient Gods

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

   "Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder you can eat that kind of magic spell without breaking it. The solid material used is a bit too much. It's all super-grade pumice. What kind of family can afford it."

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

   Pumice is the main material used by witches to build sky islands. Natural pumice was originally rare and precious, but since the witches deciphered the composition of pumice and began to synthesize it artificially, this material has become the price of cabbage.

   It's just that artificial pumice is cheap, but in order to save the cost of mass production, the quality is slightly worse than natural ones.

  There is almost no difference in the ability to float between the two, but the degree of hardness is very different.

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

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

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

   This thing is positioned as a high-end luxury item, which is really unaffordable for ordinary witch families.

   And now, in the remote Thirteenth Ring Road of the Witch Academy, there is such an empty island made of super-grade pumice, which is really weird.

   It's like finding an exquisite single-family villa in a slum, no matter how you look at it, it's against harmony.

   "Junior Sister, what do you think?"

  The otaku witch took a sharp puff of the concentration smoke in the pipe on her mouth, and then asked Audrey beside her.

   "Senior sister, I think there must be something strange about this matter."

  The little fox also had a serious face and said so.

  Then the two went to observe the collapsed buildings that had turned into ruins. Although these buildings had been completely destroyed, it was not a big problem to see the materials from between the ruined walls.

   "Good guy, magic-breaking wall bricks, dragon-scale insulating boards, turtles, what kind of research did you do here before, and how high-level treatment did you use?"

   I don’t know if I don’t see it, but I’m startled when I see it. The super-grade pumice before was already considered a luxury, but now it’s the younger brother compared with these two things.

As the name suggests, the magic-breaking wall brick is a special wall brick that can block magic power. This kind of wall brick is added with special anti-wear materials during the firing process, and this kind of material was originally used to make 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 insulating 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. Magic resistance, so it is called dragon scale insulating wood.

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

  The high blocking properties of such materials to magic power can not only effectively prevent dangerous leaks in the laboratory, but also prevent outsiders from using magic to peep.

   But still the same sentence, there is a ghostly high-end research institute in the thirteenth ring, as for using such advanced materials?

   You are afraid that you are not doing some prohibited research, so you sneaked to the thirteenth ring on the edge, and you still have such a high-end laboratory specification?

  The two teachers and sisters looked at each other in dismay, and each saw similar speculations from the other's eyes.

   "Little fairy, have you found anything?"

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

   "There is a little bit of it, senior sister, who is the owner of this laboratory?"

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

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

"Miss, the owner here is the nearby Tennyson College. This is a college that is about to close down. They are listing their assets for sale recently. This empty island was originally going to be sent to the auction house for auction, but the auction house's people still I didn’t have time to come to appraise it, and it became like this.”

   Upon hearing such an answer, Dorothy's inspiration jumped wildly, and she started frantically alarming even if she troubled the radar.

  Although it is normal for the college to fail to open and close down in the 13th Ring Road, how could a college capable of building such a super-standard laboratory be able to do it right away? I believe you ghosts.

And how dare you show this kind of super-standard laboratory to the people of the auction house? The professional appraiser can see the specialness of the building materials when he comes over and takes a look. The combination of medium and large commercial sky islands may not be worth as much as this small sky island.

  So, because they were afraid of exposing the problem, they were blown up in advance to destroy the evidence?

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

   No, no, it shouldn’t be the school of Tennyson College who bombed it themselves. After all, they can choose not to auction this laboratory. Why sell it and destroy it again? Isn’t this superfluous?

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

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

  Dorothy made such a speculation again, so it is reasonable to think about it.

  But soon she suppressed the curiosity in her heart.

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

If it is really as she expected, then there are too many things involved behind this matter, and she, a weak little witch, can't get involved. Therefore, she immediately prepared to do one thing more than one thing less, and pretended to be nothing. Know.

Well, immediately send a message after returning to ask Alice to leave it alone and report the matter to the school committee. This is no longer something the little witches of the Disciplinary Committee can handle. Let the professors and teachers of the school committee take over. This thing is better.

  The house witch followed her inner calling, and she made such a decision.

   It's just that she was about to open her mouth and find a reason to fool her, but at this moment, the senior sister with the hat on her head spoke.

   "Interesting, interesting, Dorothy, don't you like this small empty island very much? It just so happens that the school is going to sell it, why don't you do it? Now that it's badly damaged, it's very convenient to lower the price."

  Senior Fanny uttered the whispers of the ancient gods, so persuading.

   The house witch couldn't help but roll her eyes at this.

   "Excuse me, 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 hot potato that is obviously a big problem. Besides, although this empty island seems to be severely damaged, those high-grade materials can It's not so easy to damage, it's just falling apart, and most of the materials can still be reused, well, she can't afford to pay for the materials alone.

   "You can't grasp this, isn't it because of me? I am also a member of this club. Although I am too lazy to move, I can still watch the house."

  The ancient gods whispered again.

   Squeeze the toothpaste out of the chapter, I will post it first, so it will be easier tomorrow, okay.
