"It turned out to be a broken magic array. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"And what was it supposed to do?"
"And why are you here?"
Question after question, the two elves discussed.
"Do you think it's a space magic array?" Pink crystal crystal thought suddenly.
Nocisi shook his head and denied, "Probably not, this magic array looks like it's painted directly on the ground, white." And I remember that Grandpa the World Tree said that the space magic array is a magic array that emits a silver-white light and floats. β
"Really? β¦ So, could that be a summoning magic array? β
"Probably not. The summoning magic is dark magic, and the magic circle should be black. β
Pink Jingjing blinked, her eyes flashing with anticipation, and said, "Could that be a sealing magic array?" There's a big demon sealed inside? β
She remembers that in the novels she read, there was such a plot.
The demon king who was rescued by the heroine was very handsome, and after being unblocked, he fell in love with the woman who helped him, and composed a touching love song with the heroine.
Change here, the heroine is gray.
Pink crystal fantasized, her whole body bubbling with pink bubbles, giggling and chuckling.
The whispering of the two elves didn't bother Ash in the slightest, and she noticed that although the magic circle was built by someone and what it was used for, it was constantly absorbing the free elements around it.
She stood quietly and watched for a while, keenly aware that the pattern of the core of the magic array had changed.
One of the lines, which was only half-drawn, is now a few millimeters long. If it weren't for Ash's amazing observation, he would never have noticed this subtle change.
A thought came to her mind, could it be that all the elements that had been absorbed by the magic array were used to complete the missing parts of the magic array?
In other words, this magic array can repair itself?
Did the person who established this array know the characteristics of this magic array, so they deliberately created such a special environment to make the magic array complete itself?
This environment is man-made, and the magic circle is also deliberately set up here.
No matter who it is, the person who can imprison the elements in such a space must not be an opponent that they can currently oppose. Since the other party has put so much effort into hiding the magic array, if he knows that Ash and the others have discovered the existence of the magic array, will he kill people and kill them?!
At this thought, Ash immediately beckoned Cherre to leave.
For killers, curiosity can affect their concentration, concentration. Sometimes a single thought can cause a mission to fail, so she never lets herself be overly curious.
This is one of the reasons why she has the highest task completion rate in the organization.
"Huh? That's leaving? β
Pink Jingjing was a little regretful, looked at the glowing stone on the cliff, and said, "Then, can we take a piece of that stone with us?" β
"It's the first time I've seen a glowing stone."
Ash thought for a moment that a stone shouldn't bother the owner of this place much, and nodded.
Pink Jingjing picked a very small stone, and the group cautiously left the cave.
However, as Ash took his last steps away from the cave, the shattered stones under the cliff suddenly flew up and reassembled into a smooth mountain wall with the help of countless earth elements.
If it weren't for Ash and the others who saw it with their own eyes, they would never believe that this mountain wall was still shattered a moment ago.
The two elves only realized at this time that this cave was not simple, and they couldn't help but stick out their tongues.
"What's next?" Pink Jingjing asked.
"Let's find a way to get out of here." "But the cliffs here can't be climbed, and I really don't know when I'll find the way out." β
"That said, Ash, what should I do?"
Ash was the first human she'd ever encountered since she was born, and the most powerful creature she'd ever met.
Just as a newborn chick thinks the first thing it sees is its mother, Pink Crystal has a similar complex for Ash. In her heart, she has been firmly engraved with the strength of Ash, and subconsciously thinks that she is very powerful.
In her heart, she always thinks that the answers she can't think of, or the problems she can't solve, Ash must solve.
And in fact, Ash hasn't let her down until now.
Gray said, "Let's look around again." β
"Since this cave is artificially created, its owner must have some way to come and go here."
Cerley agreed, "Yes, magic circles can only be made by magicians. β
"And in this mountain stream, you can't use magic or fighting spirit. So there must be a way for the magician to get here. β
It was the first time Ash had heard Cerley say so much, and he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Unexpectedly, the werewolf's analytical ability was also very strong, and the eyes of the two little ones had already lit up, and said, "Let's go separately!" β
Ash shook his head, grabbed the two small, and said, "Don't worry." β
As soon as she finished speaking, both Pink Jingjing and Nocisi's bellies gurgled at the same time.
After getting along for so long, Ash has become familiar with the rules of life of the two children, and affirmed, "I'm hungry." β
Pink Jingjing blushed slightly and patted her little belly, and Noxisi also scratched her head in shame.
Chere grinned slightly, took out the flint, and prepared to eat.
After breakfast, it took the group another two hours to find the lifting tool more than 5,000 meters away from the cave.
The lifting tool resembles a fusiform hollow column, hidden in a tiny crack in the cliff.
The area they were looking at happened to be at the junction between the two hills, with tiny cracks that were different from the rest.
However, these gaps are irregularly distributed, and they are very far away from each other, and the gaps are small, so it is absolutely impossible to climb the cliff by stepping on the gaps.
Ash and Cheley did not pay attention to this at first, the junction between mountains is the most prone to the formation of cracks, and from the mountain-shaped landform, these cracks are not abrupt at all, but very natural.
If it weren't for Pink Crystal's whim, which flew into the crack in front of them and took a look, Ash would not have noticed the elevator in it at all.
If you look at it in a sectional view, you will see that there is a cylindrical gap in the middle of the cliff, and the elevator is built in the hollow space.
I have to say that the person who hid the elevator was extremely ingenious.
Who would have thought that in an ordinary crack in a cliff, it would be carved out and made into a passage for a lift!
It's just that everyone has a hard time with how to get into the cracks.
The crack was no bigger than a finger's seam, and Ash and Chelley couldn't fit it in.
After a few searches outside, they didn't find any mechanism.
If there is no mechanism, then how does the other party get in?
After thinking for a moment, Ash said, "Pink Jingjing, Nossi, you go in again and see if there is any mechanism that needs to be opened from inside." β
"Okay."
The two little ones carefully walked through the gap, and after about twenty meters of progress, they entered the inside of the lift.
"Ash said there is a mechanism here, where is it?"
Flying along the inside of the lift, the two small ones saw the two small buttons on the right side of the lift platform, and couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.
"Which one to choose?"
"Red and blue... How about choosing blue? β
"yes, okay."
With the cooperation of Pink Jingjing and Noxisi, the button was finally pressed, and the two little ears with red faces only heard a click, followed by a huge rumbling sound.
In front of them, the cliff, which was more than 20 meters thick, was divided into two halves!
"Wow! It worked! β
The two elves clapped each other and laughed happily.
In front of Ash and Chere, the cliff is like an automatic door, slowly moving automatically to both sides!
Cheley shook his head, wondering in his heart, if this door needed to be opened from the inside, then how did the other party get in?
Does the other party also have the same villain partner as Ash?
Pink crystal rubbed coquettishly against Ash, and Nocisi stood on Ash's shoulder, urging her to activate the red button.
Ash motioned for the two to be in a hurry, and first let the cliff door close again, and then pressed the red button.
ββImperial Capitalββ
"It's the agreed reward."
"Okay, thanks."
"You're good to go."
Looking at the man's unrelenting back, the reception girl of the Fire Rose Mercenary Group couldn't help but be stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Another girl leaned over and asked.
"No, nothing."
The girl smiled and went back to her room.
The scumbag-faced man just now brought a letter from Captain Devany, saying that she wanted her to give him a reward for the mission of the three of them when she met this man.
For three people, that is, 300 gold coins, placed anywhere, it is a lot of wealth.
And this was distributed in advance before the head of the regiment returned, and if she hadn't repeatedly confirmed that the letter was not a forgery, she would have really doubted her eyes.
It's just that what makes her curious is why the man didn't come back with the big army, but rushed back to the imperial capital alone? Look at the man's dusty face, even his body has a stench, shouldn't he have never stopped all the way?
The girl sneered, she didn't know, her guess was largely close to the truth.
The one who hurried back alone was David.
He took a heavy bag of gold coins and walked all the way into the mercenary union.
It has been more than ten days and months since Ash and Chere disappeared, and in these ten days, David has traveled day and night, even food and water are eaten on the backs of horses and beasts, and there is no stop at all.
Finally, on the ninth day, the horse beast was exhausted to death, and he had to use his fighting spirit to urge his legs to continue on his way.
He ran desperately like this, and finally compressed the schedule that originally took more than a month to half, and was able to return to the imperial capital on the fourteenth day!
As early as when he got Ash and Chelei fell into the mountain stream, he knew that it would be a fool's dream for him to go to the bottom of the cliff to find someone alone, but if he returned to the imperial capital, everything would be different.
He jumped onto the large round platform of the Mercenary Guild, held up a bag of gold coins, and shouted, "Mission! The reward is 300 gold coins! β
Three hundred gold coins?
What the? Did you hear that right?
That's going to keep them entertained for years.
For a moment, the noisy mercenary guild fell silent.
Standing at the table was a man who looked like a down-and-out mercenary.
His clothes were in tatters, and his boots were covered in dust.
He had a scruffy beard, sunken cheeks, and bloodshot eyes.
However, none of them cared about this, and the mercenaries' eyes were all attracted by the gold coins in the man's pocket.
David jumped off the table, handed a bag of gold coins to the receptionist at the window, and said, "Whoever can help me find a woman named Ash and a werewolf named Chere under the cliffs of the Alps, and bring them back to the imperial capital safely, these gold coins will be his." β
Find someone, and then escort? It's as simple as that?
The mercenaries were all gearing up and excited.
The Alpis? Oh, that's not far away.
Cliffs, what's there? Lao Tzu also climbed the snowy mountains back then!
Ah, by the way, don't forget to bring some more hemp rope, it can be used down the cliff!
All of a sudden, most of the entire Mercenary Guild crowded forward and asked the receptionists to take on this task.
If David had gone to look for him under the cliff alone, not to mention that he didn't have climbing props, he would have lost his life, and the most important thing was that even if he found Ash and Chere, he wouldn't be able to take them out of danger.
So he needs tools for rock climbing, tools for saving people, and more companions, so he has to go back to the imperial capital.
Ash, Chere, you wait for me!
Back at the restaurant, Migrena and Vivien barely recognized David.
"Oh my God, what the hell are you doing?"
When Migrina got the news, she rushed out of the small kitchen and helped the vain David into the upstairs room.
Vivien apologized to the diners again and again, and hurriedly hung a sign outside the restaurant to study for her studies.
Migrena took a towel and soaked it in a basin of water, wiped David's face with hot water, and worried, "What happened?" β
"What about the ashes? Why didn't she come back with you? β
"Pedal, pedal, pedal", Vivien also trotted all the way upstairs in a hurry, and asked David with a slightly red face.
David sighed slightly, and then said, "She disappeared with Chere. β
"Missing?!"
Migrina and Vivien screamed at the same time.
"Yes."
David clenched his fists and said, "My rescue was not in time, so they were..."
Migrena's heart tugged, and although she was worried about Ash and Chelley, she knew that the most important thing now was to let David rest well.
Fourteen days of sleepless sleep left David's eyes bloodshot and his face haggard.
She was afraid that he would fall down like this the next moment, and he would never wake up again.
Putting aside the worries and questions in her heart, Migrina said, "Don't say more, you lie down first." β
"Get some sleep, I'll go inform Annotteby and Molica."
"But..."
Migrina shook her head, pressed the shoulder he wanted to get up, and said with an attitude that could not be refused, "No, you give me a good rest, and when you wake up, you will explain it to us." β
David was stunned, then smiled bitterly.
"Brother..."
David sighed at Vivien's pleading and worried eyes, nodded and closed his eyes.
(Hehe, I'm back, I've rested for a few days, and I'm looking forward to writing it down again, and the next plot will slowly turn around, so let's look forward to it~ In addition, this book may be on the shelves in November, which is inseparable from everyone's support.)
