Chapter 1179: Indispensable
After more than ten seconds, Richard lifted the square pillar made of transparent liquid, and saw that the surface was not contaminated with any powder, and it was as bright as new. Comparing the square pillar with the blood-colored seal, I found that both the shape and size were exactly the same, but some of the lines at the bottom were not the same.
His eyebrows moved, and Richard took the dye from the Spatial Iron Ring, applied it to the surface of the transparent square column, and printed the pattern on the white paper.
When I looked at it after printing, I saw that because the square pillar was "cloned" by indirect means, it was not the original. Therefore, the graphics are not too clear, and only a line of words can be vaguely seen, which should be a new clue: blue is water, red is fire, water and fire are combined, and none of them are indispensable - thangka.
Richard scanned the text, thinking.
Blue is water, red is fire, which should refer to the blood-colored seal in his hand, as well as another ...... Blue seal.
Fire and water are indispensable, and it should be said that these two seals cooperate with each other to achieve a certain purpose. Not surprisingly, it should be the opening condition of the ancient ruin that Soros and Thangka once explored together.
If this is the case, then it means that the guessed blue seal should be placed here, otherwise there is no need to leave traces?
Now there are traces left, but the blue seal is gone, there is only one possibility, and that is that someone took it.
The person who took it was not a thangka, but a grave visitor.
But if that's the case, there's one thing to be clear. That is, on the road he broke into, he didn't find any traces of the rest of the fighting, and not even a single trap was triggered.
Could it be that the one who took the seal was a ghost?
Or......
Thinking of this, Richard jerked his head up at a wall in the stone chamber, where his weak prophetic abilities came into play, giving the answer almost simultaneously with his brain.
"Or maybe there's another passage here. Richard spoke.
When the words fell, his eyes sharpened, without hesitation, and with a wave of his hand, the surrounding air was violently compressed, and he slammed into the wall.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and the wall shook slightly.
As if a switch had been triggered, the next moment, with a "bang", several marble blocks on the wall slid open, revealing a small door about two meters high and about one meter wide.
"Sure enough......," Richard looked, his eyebrows moved, and he reached out to put away the only thing in the tomb, the stone box, and stepped through the small door.
Inside the small gate, there is a corridor.
He continued along the road, and after most of the day, he appeared in front of a red and blue metal gate without encountering any danger.
The metal gate looked very heavy, and the surface was engraved with magic patterns, some of which even spread to the surrounding corridor walls, forming a single unit, which seemed to be difficult to break with ordinary spells.
It's a bit like the door in the basement where Aaron Pompo was hiding in St. Louis...... Richard thought, his brow furrowed slightly.
The previous door of the Pombo family was verified by the blood of the Pombo family's lineage, so what verification can this door use to pass now?
Is he going to turn around and walk back?
Just as he was thinking about it, Richard noticed that in the middle of the metal door, there were two small holes, one red and one blue, a bit like miniature nostrils, which seemed to be just right to insert a seal.
After a deep sigh, Richard took out the blood-colored seal, reached out and inserted it into the small red hole on the left, tried to twist it, and then withdrew it.
"Click!"
With a bang, the metal door suddenly opened in the middle, revealing the world behind the door.
Richard didn't hesitate and stepped out the door.
There was a "bang", and the metal door closed automatically behind him, blocking him out.
Unsettling, Richard stood behind the door and looked around. After looking around, he found that he was in the middle of the White Valley Mountains, on the side of a mountain.
After a closer look, he determined that the mountain he was on was the same as the one he had entered from the top of the mountain.
Everything can be explained.
The tomb of the thangka, apparently in the belly of the mountain on which he was located, unlike the rest of the tombs, has two passages into the tomb.
The first passage, the one he first explored, was quite troublesome and dangerous, and if it was a weak person, it would be difficult to explore successfully. The second passage, the one he had just walked through, was smooth and without any trouble, but one problem was that he needed to find a way to open the metal door at the entrance to enter.
Thinking of this, Richard turned around and looked at the metal gate that came out.
You can see that on this side, the metal gate is a stone wall on the outside, which is very ordinary.
However, the dense footprints all around the ground are very eye-catching.
Richard looked at the footprints on the ground, and found that most of the footprints were very clear, and according to the shape and depth of the feet, he could tell that there was a large group of men and women, and the number was definitely more than five. The most important thing is that it can be calculated that the time when this group of people appeared is definitely not more than twenty-four hours, and it is likely to be within the last twelve hours.
So......
Richard put together all the information:
It is now certain that the person who left behind the footsteps arrived not long ago. After arriving, the other party should have used some special way to open the stone door, enter the tomb directly, and get the blue seal. After getting it, the other party went back the way he came, opened the stone door in the same way or with the blue seal, walked out, and left the place.
He was a step slower. Compared to the other group, it was a step slower, and as a result, it missed the blue seal.
If he had come a day earlier, he would have gotten the Blue Seal early without such a frustrating thing happening.
However, then again, he didn't gain anything - something important could be seen from the actions of the other party.
For example, if the other party does not enter through the passage at the top of the mountain, but chooses to enter through the passage here on the mountainside, it shows that the other party has a certain understanding of the thangka tomb and knows some inside information.
Taking a closer look, the other party should know about the ancient ruins, after all, the blue seal in the thangka tomb was taken, and it was not of much use except for opening the ancient ruins.
If that's true, maybe he should cooperate with the other party.
After all, the blood seal seal is with him, and the blue seal is with the other party, and the other party still has a lot of inside information. According to the information left in the thangka tomb, the entrance to the ancient ruins is likely to be a strengthened version of the current metal gate of the tomb, which cannot be opened with only one of the two seals, and can only be opened with two - one is indispensable.
It's a matter of mutual benefit.
But the question is, who exactly is the person who got the blue seal, and how to find the other party?
Looking up and squinting at the bloody sun in the west, Richard's mind moved, and he suddenly remembered what the bartender in the tavern had said before.
“...... Speaking of which, there was a large group of people trying to find the tomb of the Thangka wizard last night, and they rested in my tavern...... They...... The attitude is tough, so I was impressed with them......"
Last night, a large group of people?
If the person who took the blue seal was a large group of people in the bartender's mouth. Last night, the other party rested in the tavern, no accident, he would have left the tavern this morning, came to this place to open the tomb, and took the blue seal...... Then everything can be right...... Richard's eyes lit up little by little.
The next moment, he didn't hesitate, and as soon as he stepped on his feet, his body flew towards the tavern at high speed, ready to find the bartender again to "talk to him".
