The bronze carved wooden door looks simple and heavy, blocking the view one by one, creating a narrow space, but also triggering the conjecture of time behind the door, and the vastness and grandeur of the sense of space form a clever collision, and the colorful oil paintings hang on the wall, telling the legend of the Chaos Era.

The delicate and realistic marble statue holds up the chandelier stand high, the kerosene lamp sways gently, and the soft and warm milky yellow halo sprinkles on the green potted plants next to it, and the scarlet carpet complements each other, and the bright and intense colors burn in large areas, and the whole vision instantly becomes full and vivid.

As soon as you enter the room, just a small foyer, you can feel the magnificence and complexity hidden in it, even more luxurious than the Peters Mansion and the Brutus carriage, every detail shows the profound heritage and powerful wealth, and people can't help but hold their breath.

Even Ray Peters and Brutus are no exception, and this is clearly not the dilapidated Arena Palace on the outside, nor the ruins that have been rumored to have been abandoned for many years.

Fortunately, it was obvious that every waiter who entered it inevitably lost his mind, and the performance of Horden and his party was in line with the actual situation, and the black suit standing in the foyer had long been strange, just elongated a face, and scolded without emotional fluctuations.

"When you enter the banquet, don't look around, don't walk around, don't talk casually, remember, serving guests is your real job, don't let your mind wander and neglect the guests, otherwise, the consequences will be unbearable for you. Trust me, you don't want to make mistakes. ”

With a few simple words, he could feel the weight hidden in it, and then he didn't continue to chatter, and went straight to the point.

"Cipher. ”

Confirm once on the outside, and once again on the inside, and you can feel the strict security of the dinner party in small details, and set up security layers upon layers.

However, in the eyes of Holden, it is very disagreeable.

Because the selection process of waiters is very simple, it can even be said to be rough, and there is no detailed training after the selection, as Ray Peters and Brutus said, this does not meet the requirements of high-class banquets;

Holden has to put a big question mark.

Of course, it can also be said that the security procedures of the Norsnes continent are not perfect enough, and loopholes will inevitably appear, and Horden's observation perspective is too tricky, and in fact, there are no such violations at all;

violations.

There are discords everywhere!

Now Holden just hopes that because he entered the banquet with suspicion, everything is a loophole in his eyes, and these considerations are not necessary at all, otherwise, if that "sense of disobedience" is real, it means that the hidden mystery of the banquet may be beyond Holden's cognition.

Things may be out of control.

"Calidia. ”

The thought in his mind only flashed briefly, and then Hoden gave a second code.

The three friends standing next to them couldn't help but hold their breath, their eyes did not shift, but their attention was fully focused on capturing the movement of the scene.

The code on the outside and the code on the inside are two very different words, which is Hoden's speculation.

Originally, the only code on Nightingale's note was "Federiou", but there was a small gear symbol hidden under the note.

Cogs are all too familiar to Holden, and they are clearly not so simple when they appear in Nightingale's diary.

Holden tries to read the gears further - in fact, this is not difficult, at least it does not involve the use of psionic energy, but a simple code that can be deciphered by learning the most basic cryptography, the only problem is that there are fewer and fewer young people willing to learn cryptography nowadays, and Horden has seen cryptography books on Nightingale's bookshelf.

Sure enough, the gear is indeed a cipher symbol, and when unlocked, you can get the second code, "Kalydia".

Today's experience so far is a reminder of Holden's "disobedience", because the security measures are indeed too simple, and it can even be said to be a child's play, without confirming the identity of the participants, multiple codes should be their only measures to ensure safety, so, without being sure what the code of "Kalydia" is, Hodden took the initiative to say it as the code of the second level.

This is also the reason why the friends are vigilant - they don't know if the guess is correct, so they need to be ready to fight at any time.

"Calidia. ”

Hoden's voice was still in the air, and the four young people of the Kos community were all tense, but they didn't even glance at Hoden and the others in front of him, as if they didn't want to look at them at all—but they didn't know why.

Then, the black suit gently bowed his head and gestured to the other black suits behind him, and the words that followed confirmed that Hoden's attempt was correct.

"Now, go to the lounge and cloakroom to fix your makeup and hair, make sure that there are no stains on your pants and shoes, don't make mistakes in these details, after confirming, put on your mask, and naturally someone will come and choose, and you will follow your foreman to work and prepare for the banquet, and that's it. ”

Holden's tense mood relaxed a little, and the three friends next to him also relaxed a little, their guess about the double code was correct.

Because he successfully passed the first and second levels, the voice of the black suit in front of him was still irritable and not so harsh.

"Don't stop here, take a step, take a step now, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

As he spoke, the black suit in front of him drove Hodden and his party towards the next room like a duck, but before they could stand firm, another black suit came up and explained with a friendly smile.

"Forgive our eagerness, tonight has been a busy night and we have a lot of work to do, so we need to hurry. ”

This room was still explaining the situation, and there were already other black suits in the room who stepped forward to check their makeup and hair, and after making sure that they were in order, the four of them were immediately assigned tasks, and followed the four different foremen out of the lounge, not to mention conversations, and there was no time to even exchange glances, so they were swept into it by a torrent, and hurriedly entered the work state, and walked to different areas of the Arena Palace.

Holden was slightly confused, and he couldn't take care of his friends, on the one hand, because he didn't have time or opportunity, and on the other hand, because he ...... Memories awakened. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
