Wallace was impressed by Avalon since it only took about 15 seconds to take over the building's control system.

'This was the prince's tower. Luckily, Avalon was more advanced than the prince's technology.'

Wallace said in his mind as Avalon was one of the latest artificial intelligence in the galaxy before he arrived here.

The prince's technology could not be ignored but it was behind by about a century so he didn't have to worry about any technical problems inside this building unless it was at Veda's level.

A creaking noise was suddenly heard as Slaine glanced at the thick metal door that was slowly opening.

”Impressive... What did you do?”

”I have a tool prepared for this kind of situation. I can't use my senses deep inside... How about you, master?”

”Not quite well. Let's find something to light up this place... Mana seems to be unusable in this place...”

Wallace noticed that detail as well. Avalon also reported that it detected something similar to the technology they made. It was a field generator to stop mana from entering this place.

They made this similar technology before and its aim was for the nuclear fission not to be affected by the ever present mana.

'Wait... This place doesn't seem to be an abandoned structure.. It's clean and there's a warm temperature inside.'

From the moment they entered the tower, the temperature had dropped by many degrees and it was getting worst the deeper they get.

The reason that no one was complaining was due to their mana coat or protection on their bodies keeping their temperature at the right level.

'This... Is there someone taking care of this place? Another A.I.? Perhaps one of the prince's creation...'

Wallace wasn't sure so he can only guess. Then, he suddenly froze as he just realized that the prince might've actually returned here when things calmed down.

The young man looked at his master who was trying to find a way to light up the room before he remembered that he was the only one with a superb vision here even at dark places.

The Grand Arcanist might also have a trick to improve his vision but it probably requires mana...

”Avalon... I can't find any switch. If you can check the system-”

Lights came up before he even finished his words.

[ Lights has been turned on. ]

Avalon reported.

As expected, almost everything was controlled by the system here so he had to rely on Avalon's ability.

The two observed the room curiously. It was a clean and small room with only a few things that can be seen.

There were four chairs facing a glass window at the front and as soon as the light opened up, Wallace noticed that a hidden table filled with various keys or buttons appeared in front of the chairs.

'What's with this room...'

He suddenly glanced at the window but it was very dark. He can only see a silhouette of another structure outside.

”Is this a control room?”

There was a small door on their left side beside the glass window but Wallace felt a bit hesitant about opening it.

It feels like he will unveil something terrible once they opened the door.

”Avalon... Try to find a way to light up the room beyond this glass.”

[ Affirmative. ]

While Wallace was instructing his A.I., Slaine actually went out of the small room to do something else. He returned to his previous position when he arrived here and pulled something out of his pocket.

The young man only observed his master and didn't ask any unnecessary questions.

He then noticed that the man used one of his abilities to summon five golems.
