The first victim didn''t cause much reaction. Before they entered, they knew the risks of this exploration and the huge rewards they would get if they could succeed.


    The ghouls just watch their brother fall down in silence, and then check their way more carefully. Are they fickle? Maybe some, but as soldiers, as soldiers of Youhe, their feelings can''t be revealed at will, otherwise their brothers'' sacrifice will not be rewarded.


    Nina turned her attention back to her. She was actually watching the soldiers in the dark. If she thinks that they are untrustworthy, she will not value their opinions and abilities in the next exploration, and will even use them as abandoned children and tools to explore traps.


    This has nothing to do with the racial characteristics of vampires. As the controller of power, the relationship between her and her soldiers is very clear, which is not mixed with any emotion and friendship.


    Youhe provides them with their identity. They fight for Youhe. No one will die without being injured. This is the price and the risk they have to bear. They all know it, they all admit it.


    The team moved on. With the initial experience, the walls and floors would be carefully checked. Nina was lucky to have her feet floating in the air, so that she could avoid the trap triggered by the weight. However, the owner of the house is obviously not so lack of creativity, rope mixing, secret door, organs emerge in an endless stream.


    Either, he doesn''t use this passage at all and uses it as a prop to kill the intruder, or, this person has really carefully remembered every mechanism he designed and avoided them every time he passed. No matter what the possibility is, I''m afraid the Puppeteer''s mental state is not normal. He must be extremely afraid of other people''s contact with himself.


    However, traps become a bit boring as the team approaches the center of the first floor.


    Sometimes, Nina even takes the initiative to trigger some traps to let the team pass faster. That''s because she finds that although these traps are exquisite, they are not widely used. At least the audience of the traps does not include the blood group. With the advantage of her physical quality, she can take over and even dismantle many of them without injury.


    For example, when a rotating blade pops up at the height of an ordinary person''s neck, she can stop it with two fingers and pull it out of the dark slot in the wall regardless of the bracket structure. This is not strange. His trap is enough to kill the ghouls, but the blood clan is really abnormal.


    The dim hall is full of all kinds of instruments and scattered debris. The lamps are turned off, and only the naturally luminous substances in some glassware bring ambiguous highlights. This is the first place that can be called a room after entering the workshop. Although there were some narrow compartments in the previous passageway, it was more like the maintenance passageway inside the storeroom and the mechanism, rather than a real place for people to stay.


    The ghoul next to Jianqi is lighting a torch to let him see the scene in the room. In fact, this is of little practical significance, because the sword seeker is not a grey robe. He knows very little about the various instruments and materials here.


    Maybe if ATA comes, the goblin can see some hidden clues, but for several people in the room, the items here are exactly the same as they look.


    Even the housekeeper, who was familiar with the use of alchemy and alchemy materials in the room, could not infer from the way they were used as alchemy materials.


    It was not until Jian Qi opened a piece of coarse cloth in the corner of the room with an iron bar and saw the looms hidden under it that he was sure that this was the place where the man who had repeatedly sent out killers to attack them.


    "Have you ever seen this?" All the way to this point, there are no living creatures except traps, and the vampire''s unique keen sense of life also tells Nina that they are the only ones in this layer. So she would talk to Jianqi.


    "In a town not far upstream. To be exact, I haven''t seen it. I''ve just heard it repeated. According to the grey robe, the textile material of this machine is not silk thread, but human vitality. "


    Jian Qi carefully touched several places on the textile machine with an iron bar, which did not lead to any strange reaction. He knew nothing about these magical creations, and could only describe what he heard vaguely according to his memory. How can the textile machine spin with human vitality? That''s what we can only imagine.


    However, after the discovery of the first textile machine, Jianqi found several similar devices next to it. It seems that they were once an important research topic for the master here. Otherwise, they would not have spent so much energy to continuously iterate and transform them. This can also explain why he has been chasing the puppeteers since jiefa town defeated their plan.


    "No offense, but from your account, it may be some kind of power plant. In many magic rituals, the caster can''t bear the demand of magic, so they have to use the external magic carrier or sacrifice to provide energy. The textile machine exists for the purpose of weaving, and its finished product is likely to be a kind of, um, embodiment of vitality. If it works, you can imagine how much convenience it can provide, I mean, disaster. "The reason why black magic is called black magic is that the principle of its operation is always to avoid the cost of casting. Therefore, users of black magic will collect a large number of living sacrifices and other things containing energy as their substitutes in the magic ceremony. People in this way will be particularly sensitive to these, so after Jianqi simply said the function of textile machine, the housekeeper immediately understood what it meant.


    The living sacrifice is hard to preserve. The living creatures have birth, aging, sickness and death, and their moods are also up and down. Those users of the dark arts who try to imprison some living creatures as long-term sacrifices can not escape the end that the sacrifice decays and then loses their power. But this textile machine seems to point out another possibility.


    The uncontrollable fanaticism in the housekeeper''s voice makes Jianqi feel uncomfortable. He can''t imagine how the device that collects other people''s lives as energy can become a delightful invention. Nina is acutely aware of the displeasure of the sword seeker, so she gives the housekeeper a slight stare and makes the latter shut up immediately.


    They no longer try to find more clues from the textile machine, but start to find the access to the upper or lower part of the workshop. According to previous experience, the owners here will not simply show their most important studio to others. At best, this place may be just a place where defective products or finished products are placed. The real secret here lies in a more secret place.


    "Dong!"


    "Do you hear me?" The female blood clan suddenly stopped her action, and her expression became serious. Her questions were answered silently by the ghouls, and the soldiers nodded.


    "It sounds like a heartbeat." Jianqi looks at where the sound comes from, but finds that he can''t locate it accurately. But soon, he had a second chance.


    The heavier and more rapid heartbeat came to the ears of the people. On the other hand, their room, no, it should be said that the whole workshop, was slowly brightening up, like a giant animal, slowly waking up.


    Magic, with the sound of forming an invisible wave, scattered in the city at night.
