In the Name of Empress-Chapter 443 - 307: Let’s Go Stargazing Together

With this note, Roland quickly found the relevant materials and understood why the tourists had the highest clearance.

This laboratory was a secret laboratory sponsored by the military at the time.

The primary task of the laboratory was to conduct forbidden biological experiments.

From various fierce beasts to humanoid apes, their range of experiments was extensive.

Going through the available materials, Roland even found a plan for human-animal fusion.

Unfortunately, before the plan could be executed, the laboratory accidentally sank underground, and all the staff died in a short time.

If given more time, they might have conducted even more extraordinary experiments.

The research findings they left behind are quite rich, but aside from broadening knowledge, they hold little significance.

Learning the art of slaying dragons is useless when there are no Giant Dragons in the world.

The vast majority of life from the Fifth Era went extinct or evolved in the long course of natural evolution, rendering the fusion experiment data of those years useless.

If not for discovering the Soul Blood Link, this journey would have been a complete loss.

Fortunately, while the God of Destiny closes all doors, he leaves a small window open.

The Soul Blood Link does not belong to any known Magic System nor to Extraordinary Abilities; it is closer to Witchcraft.

Upon hearing this name, Roland was mentally alert.

The detailed records of Witchcraft have long disappeared in the river of history. The accessible information on Witchcraft now is very simple and subjective.

In the records of the Magic Empire and the modern nations of the world, Witchcraft is depicted as an evil and powerful, eerie Spell.

Even the researchers of the Fifth Era had an innate aversion to Witchcraft like the Soul Blood Link.

Researchers writing papers evaluated this Witchcraft as having stringent usage conditions and significant side effects, not recommended for use.

Roland, driven by curiosity, continued reading the papers, almost unable to suppress his laughter.

This is considered a side effect?

The Soul Blood Link must have one person as the core, becoming the cornerstone of the link.

This person must be strong and robust, able to withstand the various backlashes of the Soul Blood Link.

The cornerstone will suffer the most damage and gain the most benefits, and Roland felt there was no need to be modest about taking on this cornerstone responsibility.

Once established, the Soul Blood Link also has the side effect that, unless there is a special method, it cannot be undone.

Apart from these drawbacks, the participants in the link should have roughly similar strength, with no significant differences.

With so many drawbacks, its advantages are naturally outstanding as well.

The Soul Blood Link can directly enhance the vitality and soul strength of its participants and establish a communication method among them that transcends language.

In emergencies, participants can directly convey information to other members. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

In Roland’s view, this ability is much more important than directly enhancing attributes.

It’s like opening a voice channel for a team strategy session in a dungeon instance.

Though simple, this function has already far surpassed this primitive era.

Sofia always operated solo, never fearing being besieged. While there are many downsides to fighting alone, it eliminates the need to communicate with teammates, allowing her full combat prowess.

All previous attempts to besiege Sofia failed because the attackers couldn’t communicate properly, unable to exert their full combat strength.

With the Soul Blood Link, at least they could unleash their full might. If that still wasn’t enough, it was a matter of skill, surrendering to their superior.

Stored alongside the materials was the medium to activate the Soul Blood Link, an unnamed ring.

Feeling the ring’s intense bloody aura and murderous intent, Roland was secretly startled, yet amidst his alarm, he also felt a hint of delight.

Caressing the restless ring, Roland silently made a wish to it.

"Dear ring, if you have any wisdom, please calm down. I will certainly find a suitable person to use the Soul Blood Link."

Roland didn’t know whether the ring truly possessed a spirit or it was mere coincidence, but after making his wish, the ring gradually calmed down.

After storing away the Soul Blood Ring, Roland and Alina took another lap around the laboratory, searching for more spoils.

With mechanized assistance, they found all the research findings and data.

These are "precious materials" that would have caused a worldwide sensation in the Fifth Era but leave people silent in the Sixth Era.

Excellent research results, yet unfortunately obsolete.

If humans of the 21st century discovered the dinosaur martial arts from the Jurassic in an archaeological find, they might be just as speechless.

After a moment of silence, Roland gathered his thoughts and gently comforted Alina, who appeared slightly dejected:

"Don’t be disheartened; we’ve gained so much. It’s time to leave."

Alina, knowing the value of that Soul Blood Ring, seeing Roland accepting it was no longer pretentious and nodded, changing the topic.

"Alright, it’s time for us to go. Maybe we should borrow a few more shovels from the mechanized assistant."

"Dear visitor, please don’t worry. It’s our duty to send guests out," a mechanical voice sounded in their ears.

With someone to handle it, Roland and Alina naturally did not need to toil.

The mechanized assistant awakened a few labor bots to clear the path for their departure.

The mechanical efficiency far exceeded that of humans, and with the help of the excavation robots, the tunnel, hundreds of meters long, was quickly completed.

When Roland and Alina exited the tunnel, they were surprised to find the exit was actually in the observatory’s backyard.

It was approaching midnight, the sky filled with an abundance of stars, and tonight the Blue Moon and accompanying satellite were not particularly bright, making it a good time for stargazing.

Alina’s gaze fell on the snow trail on the hillside, looking at the remnants of the violent avalanche and couldn’t help but teasingly say:

"Mr. Avalanche probably didn’t expect the two tiny humans buried below to escape underground only to return again."
