Chapter 173: Turning Decay into Legend (4)
"What are you doing with that money? Could it be that you're short of money?" Snya noticed Tarevi and looked at the pile of change on the table in a daze, so he went over and patted him. Tarevi seemed to wake up from a dream, and asked, "I ask you, what is the color of money?"
"Are you stupid? Isn't it gold, silver, and copper? What the hell is your brain—" Carifey stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, as if he had thought of something.
"The color of the gold coin, although golden, can also be said to be yellow, and the color of silver is close to white. If the red color is darker, it will be close to copper. (Talivi)
"So, red, yellow, white, mean copper, gold, and silver? (River)
"As mentioned in the puzzle, looking at people with colored glasses refers to the rich and the poor, and the rich man looks at others differently, even when he looks at people his age. (Talivi)
"The social classes are different. (Ammiro)
"That's right. And one of the previous reasoning that is correct, and that is to exclude these three colors, that is to say, to exclude common currencies, because one is mentioned later, 'one color'. The theme of a puzzle will not change, so the latter 'one color' should also refer to money, and the color that can represent money, in addition to the three common currencies, there is only 'gold money', which is a large denomination of currency, and ordinary people can't afford this, which is the so-called 'person with colored glasses'. The color of the gold banknote is green, and the reason why everyone cares about it is not only because green refers to the gold banknote, but also refers to the color of nature, a grass and a tree, maintaining the ecological balance, and allowing us to survive, which is greening, which is also what everyone cares about. ”
Tarevi's analysis is well-founded, green is not only the color of the 'gold money' that the rich care about, but also the natural green that the poor yearn for and can one day use, and it is also the natural green that those who are concerned about the living environment.
And if you look at the map of the entire city of Rosafern, there is only one type of building with a 'green' logo, the bank!
"Continuing to disperse, I am familiar with the banks of Samadhi, I will go there alone, Carifey and River will go to the banks of Ruyus, Tarivi and Ammilo, and you will go to the banks of the Leyon district. If you don't have a clue, just go back here, and if you do, of course, bring it back here. Let's act, 'girls!'" Snya scattered the members of each squad, and for Snya, who was familiar with Samadhi, it was best for him to act alone, although he was the closest, but also a heavy burden, and in case of a difficult test, he could only rely on himself.
The three groups immediately dispersed, and the most difficult of them should be the Tarevi team, because they had to run from Samadhi to Laien, fortunately Sinia's community was on the west side of Kassi Avenue, and if it was on the east side of the lightpost road, they would have to break their legs.
"Welcome, come to the 'Sanchuan Bank', is there anything I can do for you?" When the bank clerk saw Carifey and River coming in, he immediately stepped forward to entertain them, and Carifey also asked straight to the point, "We came here according to the prompts, may I ask, did Lord Carmon arrange the puzzle here?"
"Yes. But unfortunately, the bank was robbed last night, the vault was pried open, and we have not yet started to investigate how much money was lost. Originally, the trial here was for you to read this record book and let you deduce the vault password through the patterns on it. Now, you can go in and look for what Mr. Carmon has left here. The clerk greeted them graciously and pointed them in the direction of the vault, and Carifey and River immediately headed for it.
"You're the challengers who have solved the puzzle, aren't you? The original puzzle is in the innermost wooden box, when you open it, remember to close it, don't take out the hint paper inside. "Outside the open door of the vault, a burly man stood guard there, and when he saw Carifey and them coming, without saying a word, he opened the cordon and let them in.
And the whole vault, there are gold and copper coins scattered everywhere, all of which have been messed up, and money is everywhere, and it seems that there is no intention to sort it out at all. And in it, there was no one except the two of them.
"Hey, Carify, that security guard didn't look at us. River whispered to Carifey, who looked at him with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "So?" "Didn't they say it, the specific amount of money lost has not been investigated, so..."
Kalifi seemed a little angry, but he didn't shout. River then said, "Just take one gold and two gold, and it won't be discovered, and when this thing is over, we can treat the others to a good meal." "If you dare to touch here, even if it is copper, I will not recognize you as a friend!"
Carifey was not touched by River's words at all, but walked firmly towards the wooden box, and River shook his head and followed, although his hands were still trembling with excitement, but in order not to lose this friendship, River held back.
"The grudge is over, and the golden tong is withered. Carifi opened the wooden box and saw a hint inside, and although it was only seven words, it was the puzzle that led to the next location. Carifey and River then walked out of the vault. Although the shoes touched the money, the collision sound caused by it touched the hearts of both people, after all, it was difficult for them to earn money here for a lifetime, but they all held back.
"You're done investigating, please go to the back reception room and wait. "Waiting??? "Okay. ”
Under the instructions of the security guards, Carifey and River arrived at the 'back reception room', which was obviously improvised, with all the clutter piled up in the corner, and in the middle of the room, there was only a table and a chair, and there was no table on it, and a person sat on the chair and said with a smile on his face, "Welcome here." ”
"What's this, what's going on?'re going to investigate?"
"No, no, no, you don't have to do any investigation, because—" As he spoke, the man took out a folder from behind him and placed it on the table, "... You've passed the trial and are eligible for the real next puzzle. ”
River was stupid, and Carifey was stupid, what did they do? How did they pass the trial? Besides, didn't the clerk at the door say that the test here was canceled?
"I know you're confused, but here, the real test is to see if you can quietly take even a copper in the vault, if you take it, you won't come here, and the security guard at the door will stop you and force you to hand over the money you stole. Saying this, River is glad that he didn't take it, otherwise it would have fallen short.
"So, this is a real clue, isn't it? There shouldn't be any other tests, right?" Carifey was worried, and now he had to be cautious in every step, but the man smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is the only way that Mr. Carmon has given us. ”
Carifey cautiously opened the folder and saw what was written on it, the real puzzle 'Fire, Ashes, and Destruction.' It's the same as before, it's seven words, but it's much easier to understand than the previous one. It's still hard for him to understand, but it's shorter than the previous ones, and it should be a little easier.
With this information in hand, Carifey and River walked out, and just as they were about to walk out of the bank, they spotted another baron, walking in.
"Ha, the eldest brother also said that someone is competing with us, it seems that it is you, right?" Although Kuhn had just arrived here, he saw that someone had arrived before him, and he knew that it was the companion of the man whom Lothar had mentioned and met in the restaurant, "Well, that guy is indeed very smart, and he actually took the lead." ”
"Lord Kuhn? Is that Lord Kuhn?" "Oh... Wow. "Carifield and River don't know what to say, this is the first time they've 'officially' met with someone with a knighthood, and Carmon was only because Carmon was on a mission to dismantle the Cult of God.
"Looks like you've passed the second trial, so it's time for me to do it. But before that—" Kuhn was accustomed to Carifey's performance, "tell me what the name of the one who came with you, the one who met Big Brother Lothar, and the two of you. If we want to have a 'confrontation', at least let us know each other's names. ”
"I'm Karifi, he's River, and the one who met Lord Lothar is Tarevi. Carifey took the initiative to introduce himself to Kuhn, as River couldn't say anything at all, "We have two more people, named Snya and Ammilo. ”
"Carifey, River...... Okay, I'll remember you, and as for other people's names, when I see a real person, I'll understand. Now, pray that we will not catch up with you, and that if you have an advantage, don't give it up. With that, Kuhn walked to the vault.
And Carifey and River were very excited, it was a great honor for them to be able to make the baron remember the name, no matter what the baron's reputation was, but since he was not deprived of his title, he was still a noble baron.
As for Kuhn, among the four barons, there is naturally one wisdom responsible, but this time, the judgment of that wise responsible person is one step slower than Talivi's.
