Chapter 21: The Key Key
How, exactly?
After pasting the aisle charm and casting the magic power, little Luca also prayed to Elise again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There was no reaction.
It seems that the door of this secret room is not so easy to open, of course, it was originally a secret room.
Eun...... "That's right, Mr. Nabal! I asked, "Is this hole pre-existing?" It wasn't stabbed by Elise, was it? ”
"That's right! Elise flew right into the hole! Little Luca hastened to answer.
"Are there any other caves around here?"
"Sakura, what are you asking for?" Nabal wondered, "I've seen it with the little one, and this is the only one." ”
That means that the cave is the same as the one discovered by Mr. Renard, in that case......
"Sister Sakura! Sister Sakura! What do you have in mind?! Little Luca asked.
"Huh? Oh! Sister, I'm wondering where the broken porcelain pieces were found? ”
"Broken porcelain? Yes? Is it the one that Grandpa Frank took out? ”
"That's right, this cave should be the cave where Mr. Renard found the broken porcelain pieces, so where did Mr. Renard find the broken porcelain pieces?" As I spoke, I looked around, "Isn't it possible to put a broken piece of porcelain in the middle of the cave?" Maybe there's something left over here! ”
"Makes sense! Little Luca! Let's find out! "Nabal is in a mood.
However, the cave is so big and not so deep that the walls of the cave that you can see without even lighting a torch are flat rocks and nothing.
And those broken porcelain pieces are small. But it's all milky white, so it's easy to find.
That...... Could it be that I'm wrong? looked at little Luca, who sat on the ground with a disappointed face, picked up the cat bell and lay down on his back. I sighed to myself.
Isn't this the cave that Mr. Renard discovered? Or had he already taken all the porcelain tiles by then?
"Sister Sakura! There! Suddenly, little Luca's big blue eyes widened, and she pointed straight at the top of the cave with her hand, "Sister Sakura! Look there! Topmost! Topmost! ”
Topmost? The roof of the cave?
Looking in the direction indicated by little Luca, there was a spot on the top of the cave full of rocks, which was white...... Porcelain tiles!
"There it is!" Nabal, who reacted quickly, jumped to his feet, easily removed the piece of porcelain, and looked at it himself for a while, "...... Forget it, Sakura! Then! "Eventually. Unable to see why, he still threw the porcelain piece over.
Reaching out and taking the porcelain piece, which is a thin piece the size of a fingernail, milky white, very ordinary. It's the same as I've seen before.
Blame! Why are porcelain tiles on the roof of the cave? Looking up at the original porcelain tiles on the top of the cave, it is still full of rocks.
“……”
"Sister Sakura, have you found anything?"
I shook my head silently.
"Sakura! This porcelain tile has a quirky! Nabal said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"It's wet!" Nabal held up his right hand, which he had just removed, and pointed with his thumb and index point.
"Wet?"
"Yes!" Nabal stared at his nails. "It's still a little muddy when you take it off! It just dried up quickly. I didn't really care. ”
"Mud?" I looked at the top of the cave again in confusion, and it was all rocks. Yes! Indeed, on closer inspection, there are indeed thin and shallow gray-white traces that are not the same as the surrounding color in the place where the original porcelain tiles existed...... It must be a mud print, right? So why is there mud there?
Mud...... Porcelain tile ...... Moist...... Water water?!
"Ahh I understand! I suddenly looked up, "I see!" ”
"Got it?!" "There's a way to open the door?!" Little Luca and Nabal looked at me together.
"I don't know how to open the door......" I hesitated, "However, I probably know how to open the door of this secret room~!" ”
"This ...... Is there a difference?! Little Luca didn't understand.
"Listen to my sister! That's right! I explained. This door is probably the same way that the door of the secret room in Lacey's house opens, not our way! Reis had seen the head of the Funeral Corps, Ashetaro, open his family's secret room, ...... I remember that he was talking about the central fountain when the moonlight hit the originally dry central fountain. Then the fountain suddenly erupted again with a column of water, which condensed into a six-pointed star under the spell of Asshetaro, and finally Ashetaro stabbed his sword into the middle of the six-pointed star and the door opened. ”
"Wow! It's complicated! Little Luca stuck out her tongue in surprise, "And is that one anything like this one?" ”
"It should be the same, right?" I pointed to the gray mud strip at the top of the cave, "I guess the water is flowing out there, and then ...... Kindness...... There should be a lot of room for water to flow in this mountain, and the water that flows out is the key to opening the door! Those broken porcelain pieces are very light, and they must have been carried out by the water when it flowed out in large quantities! ”
"But, such a small slit!"
"At a certain time! At a certain time! I laughed and knocked her little head, "The mechanisms of the secret room seem to be related to a certain time, maybe the crack will expand at a certain time, right?" Should ......"
"Woo! Sister Sakura, you said such unfounded words again! Little Luca grumbled dissatisfiedly.
"It's not unfounded! When the secret room of the Reis family was opened, Ashetaro also waited for a long time! It is necessary to wait until the moonlight hits the fountain and the fountain spews water before ...... Yes! I suddenly shouted in delight, "I see!" ”
"Wow!" Little Luca was startled by me and complained again, "Scared to death!" Sister Sakura, what do you know again?! ”
"Here's how to open the door! It's moonshine! Moonshine! I couldn't help but hold up little Luca in a circle, "It's moonlight!" ”
"Yes! Yes, yes! It's moonshine! Sister Sakura, I'm going to put Luca down! Little Luca was still dissatisfied, "Luca, I'm not a child!" ”
"Hah! I'm sorry! ”
"Sakura, don't make a fuss, what's the matter with the moonlight you said?!" Nabal asked.
"It should be a specific moonlight shining in to unlock the first step!"
"I don't understand!" Nabal was very straightforward, "Be clear! ”
"Huh? Oh! Let me think about it......" I bowed my head and quickly organized my language, "we are particular about going with the flow...... A lot of the time it's very dependent on the sky! Anyway, if the door opening mechanism of the secret room takes effect, it must be timed, placed, and people! Yes! It means ......"
"Don't talk about it, the little guy is about to be confused by you!" Nabal stretched out his hand to interrupt me and looked sympathetically at little Luca, who looked confused, "Sakura, to put it simply, it means that the moonlight with certain conditions, a specific location, and a specific person must be used to open the mechanism, isn't it?!" ”
"Well...... Right? But it's not just about specific people, specific spells, actions, actions, etc., you can also say ......."
"Woo! Your Taoism is so troublesome! Little Luca, who finally understood a little, sighed, "It's so complicated to open the door, it's better to magic!" A high-magic lockpicking technique can solve it all! So what now? With so many specific conditions, we can't open this at all! ”
"Hey! Don't forget that your sister is a first-class sorcerer! I confidently straightened my chest, "There must be a way then!" I don't know what the specific time is, but I guess the moonlight shines into the cave, right? This can be considered a specific condition! After all, the angle of the moonlight is different every day every year, that is, even if the moonlight can't shine into the hole, as long as we use a mirror or something to refract the moonlight in?! ”
"And then?" Nabal asked.
"And then? Yes? And then?! …… I haven't thought about it yet," I replied honestly, sticking out my tongue in embarrassment, "and see what happens!" Originally, other people's Taoist skills were all thought up on the spot! ”
"Woo! Now Luca, I can understand what my disgusting brother meant, 'I can't figure out what Sister Sakura's Taoism is', so it's unreliable! Little Luca sighed and reached out to pick up Catbell again, "Catbell, let's go out and play, Sister Sakura!" Anyway, I'm going to have to wait until the evening, so Luca and I hang out with Catbell, okay? ”
"Well, but be careful!" Nabal and I agreed. however
"Wait!" Suddenly, Cokoloa's voice came from the entrance of the cave, "Miss Sakura! Mr. Nabal! Come with me! ”
"What's wrong?!" Hearing Cokoloa's panicked voice, my heart couldn't help but sink, "What about Asa and Minia?!" ”
"I can't tell! Anyway, come with me! (To be continued......)
