"Is the cat bell ready? - Here we go! I saw little Luca gently lean the tip of the heavenly spear against the metal disc, and the cat bell obediently put her two front paws on it, "Well...... Cat Bell Lockpicking! As little Luka chanted the magic that followed, a transparent golden circular magic array immediately appeared on the tip of the spear - well, this ...... Since the catbell's two paws pressed the tip of the gun, the magic array looked like the feeling of the catbell's emitting, so weird!

Cats casting magic? Maybe this weird scene is the effect the little guy wants to create - or it just feels weird. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although I agree with little Luka to try lockpicking (or the strange cat bell lockpicking), I still can't understand the magic principle - relying on the amount of magic cast to pick the lock? Just by that magic circle that displays inexplicable spells? - I really don't understand the magician! According to their method, isn't it possible to open any lock?! Isn't it useless that the craftsmen have worked so hard to make all sorts of intricate locks with special keys? ――If you could really open the secret room simply with lockpicking, it would definitely make the person who made it angry!

- But then again, the person who designed this Daoshu Mausoleum probably didn't expect someone from another spell system to come in, right? I remember that when I passed through the trap array, all kinds of Dao sigils were densely drawn on both sides of the corridor, and I also looked at a few of them curiously, and found that they were all designed to shoot fire, poisonous smoke, or freezing traps, and many of them overlapped - that is, unless there was a Taoist who knew the correct method and order to make the effect of the sigil disappear. Otherwise, if you disarm one of these traps, you're likely to trigger the others - it's complicated anyway! Definitely I can't solve it...... Oh...... Maybe it can be unraveled, right? But it's definitely going to take a lot of time to research!

However, little Luca only relied on the Holy Light Shield of the Heavenly Spear, and triggered various mechanisms without caring along the way. It's a breeze to get through the trap zone - it's really easy! I guess there's no easier way to get through than her, right?

Such a powerful multi-functional defensive light shield with no dead ends, it is impossible for any Taoist to make it simply - as a Taoist magician, if I want to make such a defensive array, I must use a lot of Dao runes, but in this way, the Dao runes on the edge of the defensive array or on the periphery of the defensive array can be easily destroyed (burning!). Flooding! As long as there is a way to destroy the paper, it will do) - in other words, if I were to use the Dao Defense Array to pass through this trap area, I guess I wouldn't have to go far to replenish the Dao runes and mana, right? (And when replenishing the Dao Talisman, the basic defensive array will be ineffective, and at that time it will definitely be burned alive - or poisoned?) Anyway, the result is about the same) What's more, the Dao Array is formed through the medium of the Dao Talisman thrown out. Therefore, most of them are fixed formations, and it takes several times more energy to make it move with me!

Who would have thought that there would be such an easy way to pass through as little Luca? ――I'm sure even a Taoist wouldn't be able to think of it!

And the metal lock in front of me. It was supposed to be for me to study the mural, or some other possible hint in the secret room, to find the order in which the buttons of the twelve divine beasts were used, and then to open them - what Taoist could have thought that there would be magic that defied the rules of unlocking?!

Kindness...... In other words, this secret room was designed mainly for Taoist magicians. This one...... That's a bit wrong, right? This is our western continent! How could there be a secret chamber mausoleum that specifically defended against the entry of Eastern Daoists?! And...... And look at the old appearance of this secret chamber mausoleum. I guess it took at least a few hundred years to build, right? (I don't know much about ancient tombs.) But it feels like it's impossible to say it for only a few decades! ）

…… Then, could it be that the Orientals, and Taoist magicians, came to our continent a long time ago?!

And also in the era when we did not have lockpicking in the West? -- Otherwise, the mausoleum designer would not have designed a lock that was only opened by a code.

Woo! Remember that we have only been using magic in the West for more than 500 years, so how many years ago was this ancient tomb built? What were the Eastern Daoists doing in the West at that time?!

"Smack!" Under the influence of the golden magic array, the metal disc emitted a crisp sound—followed by a distinct "rattling" sound of a clear iron chain twisting from somewhere.

"Hah! It worked! Little Luca happily raised her spear (the cat bell on the tip of the spear jumped up and fell into the arms of her master), "Sister Sakura! You see! Luca: I just said that the 'Cat Bell Lockpicking' works, right?! Then she was immediately drawn to the metal disc that began to rotate on its own.

When there was a sound, the metal disc on the floor in the center of the hall, still covered with a golden magic circle, began to rotate slowly. The rotation speed is slow, and it is irregular and repetitive. At the same time, the buttons of the twelve divine beasts on the surface also flickered up and down randomly - that should have been a complicated operation password found by me, a Taoist magician, right? It's probably a complicated way like a few turns, a few buttons, a few more turns, and a few more buttons.

I didn't expect that little Luca would simply solve it with a lock-picking technique.

"Hee-hee! Sister Sakura! Uncle Nabal! Luca: I'm amazing, aren't you? After a moment's pause, the impatient little one jumped up to us again, looking up in anticipation.

What's wrong? Oh! I reached out and gently touched her little head (the little guy squinted happily) "Eun! Little Luca, you're so smart! That's amazing! I helped my sister a lot! ”

"Really?!" The sky-blue eyes that asked knowingly flashed.

"Really! If you follow my sister's method, you have to press the button a few times to turn around...... Trouble is dead! And I don't know if I can find the password! Little Luca is really amazing! The biggest problem was solved with ease! ”

"Hey, hey, Catbell helped Lucca too! - It's a cat bell lockpicker! The little guy smirked proudly, not forgetting to lift the black cat in his arms, "Just now, the magic was put on for a long time and there was no response, and I almost gave up Luca!" ――If it weren't for the cat bell, which has been so serious! ”

"Eun Maoling is also very well-behaved!" I also touched Catbell's head with the same appreciation.

"Uncle Nabal?" The happy little guy also lifted the cat bell in front of Nabal with an expectant face.

"Yes! Yes, yes, it's Catbell and you who have done a great job! Nabal, who was accustomed to a serious expression, reluctantly touched the cat's head as I did ("It's just that I think so—what can a cat do?"). I distinctly heard Nabal muttering something from his mouth. But fortunately, happy little Luca didn't pay attention. ）

As he spoke, the disc finally made a "cluck" sound, and then stopped spinning. At the same time, there was the sound of "clucking" hinges.

What's wrong?

Before we could ask questions, the hall that had just been quiet suddenly made a "boom-boom" sound of water flowing--in the center of the hall, and the water in the deep pool in front of the disc was actually descending at a speed that we could see!

"It turns out that the secret room is there...... How ingenious! Nabal exclaimed, and walked with us to the waterhole—and soon the water in the pool was running dry, and at the same time on the wall of the pool, that is, directly below the disc, there was a large hole in the shape of a square, no, not a big hole, but the blue bricks that appeared around the hole told us—that it was an open door.

Meantime......

"Sakura-!" It was as soon as the water dried up that I heard the voice again—Reis's voice.

It wasn't just me this time, from the surprised expressions of Mr. Nabal and little Luca around me, I knew they heard that voice just as much as I did!

The sound was loud and close, and just as we instinctively looked around, looking for the source of the sound, a ghostly white mist of light flew out of the secret door, and gradually drifted closer with a nostalgic aura, and finally floated up and down in front of my eyes, and at the same time made the voice that used to echo in my head-"Sakura-! Sakura-! ”

"Reis...... Is that you? Trembling and reaching out, I wanted to touch the light mist in front of me, "Really...... Is that you? ”

Gently touching the light mist, so warm, so nostalgic, so ...... Sad.

It didn't answer, it didn't make a sound, it just jumped, letting me tremble and caress it.

"Thresten's soul?!" Nabal's calm voice rang out to the side.

"Brother Reis? Is that you? …… Your soul? True...... Is it? You...... Over here? ”

Is it? Is it your soul? Les...... You...... You've been waiting for me here? Always...... Call me here?

In a trance, I didn't feel that I stretched out my other hand again, trying to hold it tightly in my arms.

As if he understood what I meant, the mist of light floated down my arm and slowly to my chest—the milky, warm, heartbreaking mist of light pulsed across my chest, like Lacey in his arms when he was sad...... I miss it so much...... I miss it so much...... Okay -

Quietly, the light and mist became lighter and fainter, and the warmth that brought to my heart became lighter and lighter, and finally, it disappeared quietly......

Les...... You're just waiting for me right here...... To see me?

Unconsciously felt that two lines of tears continued to flow down the corners of his eyes.

Les...... Is your soul hovering here all the time, calling out to me, just to see me?

Now it's finally waiting for me...... Is your wish fulfilled?

Looking blankly at the light mist that turned into dots and finally disappeared in my arms, I finally couldn't help crying.

"Lacey—"u
