172 Brilliance Circulation
"This one...... No, it's still not right, ahhh Who's good at circuitry? β
"Isn't this supposed to be a puzzle to be done......
The surroundings of the broken platform had been cleaned up a lot by Duan Qing and them, but the process was still laborious, because they didn't want to accidentally throw away those useful things while cleaning them up, and the so-called useful things were the pieces of rubble in Duan Qing's hands at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but unlike the broken pieces of the fallen columns around them, the surface of those broken stones is carved with some intricate patterns.
According to Duan Qing's guess, these patterns should be the prototype of the magic pattern.
Comparing it to the groove they had found, several people could easily discover the original location of the fragmentsβthe body of which may have been a special stone pillar standing in the middle of this circular platform. However, unlike other stone pillars, this stone pillar - or a platform pillar - should have some special purpose, according to the effect that Duan Qing inadvertently triggered before, several people speculated that this central area should have been used to place the disc in Duan Qing's hand at first. And those things that resemble magic patterns can probably also transmit the energy contained in this disc to other places.
"These lines are connected to the surrounding stone pillars, and we can probably see them before, basically...... They are also connected to this groove. Duan Qing, who was sitting on the ground, carefully observed the fragments in his hand, and picked them up and put down one by one: "If we can restore it......"
"Recovery is almost impossible." Xue Lingphantom Ice glanced around: "We are not skilled craftsmen, nor are we alchemists, how can we have such skills......
"It doesn't need to be completely restored, it just needs to be able to do some of its original role."
"That's hard, too." The black-armored man brought a piece of carved grain in front of him, and looked at it a little bored: "Even if it is a puzzle, these things are three-dimensional, how can it be so easy for you to build it like a building block, and whether it can play a role or not may not be ......."
"The key question is...... It's getting dark. β
The woman tugged back her hair and looked up at the place, the twilight had begun to darken in their eyes, and the atmosphere of the day was slowly fading: "We may be able to survive the night here, but these things ...... No matter how much time you give, you don't necessarily make any progress. β
"So, let's go somewhere else." After saying this, the big man stood up: "Maybe you can find something else somewhere else......"
Several people invariably stared at the central luminous body that was getting brighter and brighter in the gradually darkening environment, and secretly wiped their cold sweat.
"That thing...... It must be a valuable thing. β
"I don't know, but we can't even be sure of the size of what we can observe now."
"Is there anything that can stop that thing?"
"Perhaps, we haven't explored it yet, and there may be some hidden switches or something."
"To be honest, I don't think it's a good idea to turn that thing off, maybe the whole cloud will disappear, and then we'll have a big basket......"
"What are you afraid of, let's dig three feet into the ground here, even if there is something else to do...... Other adventurers have climbed to this place, and valuable things have already been looted by us......"
"I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about the sky, the sky!" Forcibly pressing the two pieces together, Duan Qing put down his work a little helplessly: "This is a place thousands of meters high, if it weren't for this surrounding cloud, do you think these things around us can still be preserved so well?" If this cloud disappears, let alone the ruins, it will be difficult for us to save our lives......"
"And that thing doesn't necessarily take it with you." Xue Lingphantom Ice pointed to the object in the center that was still glowing with dazzling white light, and then Duan Qing's words said, "If that thing is big, we can't even move it." β
"Are we really going to get nothing?" The black-armored man looked at the ruins around him hatefully: "No, I have to go somewhere else to see, at least I have to go around here for a while......"
"With all this energy, big brother, you might as well make preparations for spending the night here. If I'm not mistaken, you're still wounded. Putting down two more fragments, Duan Qing said without raising his head: "Take a good rest, in case there is any battle...... I can cope with it to some extent. β
"Hey, how can there be a fight, there isn't even a single hair in this place......"
Muttering some complaints, the black-armored man still found a corner against the wall, and then sorted out the things in the baggage: "I thought I was finally the first person in the free world, but I didn't get anything except the air all over the ground, this is a broken game...... Uh, no, it's so boring. β
"The adventure is like this, it may be fruitless, but the process is infinitely exciting, and if you think about it, you can make a blockbuster movie along the way." Duan Qing, who was sitting on the ground, shook his head: "And big brother, are you gaining?" You've already acquired two weapons, one more powerful than the other, and you're ......"
He looked at Xue Lingphantom Ice with a "ghostly" look, and couldn't help but laugh at the latter: "I also got a key stone...... It's still the kind that may metamorphose in the future. Look at me again, I'm the one who didn't get anything, so handsome, so strong, that not only my companions, but also a saleswoman who sells things don't look down on me......"
He said these two words hatefully, pinched the two fragments in his hand hard, and then looked up at the dim sky, and asked the sky with a speechless face: "Probably...... Even the heavens are jealous of me. β
"Poof...... Hahahaha! β
In the woman's smiling eyes, the big man in black armor finally couldn't help but burst out: "Oh, yes, think about it...... You're miserable! Don't be sad, don't be sad, go back to the Iron Fist Gang with me, big brother, for the sake of our life and death, I will give you some compensation! It's a big deal, I'm going to invite you to dinner! Aha! β
In the continuous thigh slapping sound, only the young man of the Norsr tribe walked to Duan Qing's side with some hesitation, and said with a sad face: "Don't, don't be sad, God...... will not abandon us. β
β...... I don't know what your misunderstanding became, but thank you. Looking at the other party's expression that wanted to comfort him, Duan Qing laughed inexplicably: "Heaven has always been fair, if he doesn't treat me well now, then he will definitely be in the future...... You are the same, young people who want to be adventurers. β
He patted the other man on the shoulder, then pointed to the man who was still laughing not far away, "Help me get a torch...... It's almost out of sight here. β
In the light and shadow of the young man getting up, Duan Qing once again put together the two pieces of gravel in his hand, and then ...... Slowly lowered to the corner of the square groove. Unnoticed by the rest, he placed the long strips of rubble that had been put together in different directions of the grooves, and finally tucked the disc-like thing in the middle of them.
"And then there's the direction...... Is that so? Or is it so? Oh, what do these signs mean......"
The buzzing sound suddenly echoed in everyone's ears again. Nantie Mountain and Xue Ling, who were busy, suddenly looked back, only to see that with the platform as the center, several black stone pillars surrounded by them slowly emitted a familiar white light, and those rays of light extended to the center of the platform along the cracks all over the stone pillars, or the white light originally extended from the place where the man's body was blocked.
"What did you find?" So several people hurriedly put down the things in their hands and ran to Duan Qing's side.
Slowly letting go of the disc in his hand, letting it stabilize in the center of the magic circle composed of several pieces of rubble, Duan Qing let out a sigh: "It really works...... Hey? Why are you all here? β
"Can we not detect such a big movement?"
Pointing to the buzzing stone pillars behind him, the woman in the black cloak said angrily, "I didn't expect you to sneak up on it......
"What do you mean by sneaking, what I've been doing under your noses, okay?" Glancing at the surrounding scene, Duan Qing shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly, and then refocused his gaze on the surface of the disc: "So...... What's next for this thing? β
He looked at the indecipherable markings in the center of the disc and rubbed his chin as he spoke.
"Hmm......"
"Hmmm......"
Several people stared at the fluorescent disc in front of them at the same time, and they all started to worry.
"No matter, let's give it a try."
Looking at the increasingly gloomy fog, Nan Tieshan, who couldn't wait, took the lead in shouting: "Isn't it almost death?" What is there to be afraid of......"
"What if the end of the world is triggered or something?" slapped the big man's hand away, and the woman said in a deep voice: "We have also analyzed it before...... Let's search for other places first, maybe there will be a manual or something......"
"Instructions? Could there have been such a thing in ancient times? β
"I don't know, but it's better than trying to do it."
"Well, that's what you remind...... Maybe a hint is nearby. Duan Qing, who was still sitting on the ground, began to look around with his waist bent: "That's how the general design works......
"How can it be so simple...... Hey, where are you looking? β
"Misunderstanding, it just so happens that you are standing from this angle...... Hey, don't be angry, don't be angry, I know it's wrong, hey, don't fight, be careful......"
Dodging the other party's feint, Duan Qing's hand accidentally pressed on the surface of the disc, but in the nervous eyes of several people, the disc that had completely glowed with soft white light did not emit any reaction.
"Huh?" Duan Qing, who hurriedly retracted his hand, stretched his head to the top of the disc and observed it carefully: "It seems that nothing happened?" β
"Are those runes just decorations?"
"It seems that I can only work hard to learn magic knowledge when I go back, otherwise I will be blinded when I encounter this situation......"
After poking at the glowing disc for a long time, Duan Qing and the others finally confirmed that those glowing patterns and signs had no effect, so they had to sit down around the disc again, carefully inspecting all corners of this improvised patchwork device: "How should this thing be used......
"That's, that's ......"
Yat, who had not made a sound, suddenly said next to them: "I'm wondering, is it ......?"
Under the staring gaze of several people in unison, he curled his neck a little cringe, and then plucked up his courage again: "Isn't it...... Wrong way to place? β
β......β
Several people looked at each other again for a moment, and then shouted in unison.
"That's right! How did I not think of that? Sure enough, I still think about the problem too complicated......"
"Wrong posture? No, it may just be a possibility, but ...... Well, it's quite possible. β
"Maybe that's how it was designed, you see..... This was supposed to be a stone platform, but maybe this place was originally designed to be a rotating disc......"
Discussing with each other, several people gave a thumbs up to Art in unison, and then picked up the disc and operated it with the gravel below: "Hmm...... These matching elements also had to be changed...... By the way, how did you put it together? β
"It's just forcibly fighting in the direction of these lines, but if you need to turn, the distance between this side and this side is not right...... Find two more pieces from the pile and put them back together. β
"How about using this, I think it's appropriate."
"No, no, no, this piece should be placed here...... And here...... Well, with previous experience......"
After some scrambling, the disc was placed back in the center of the groove at a different angle, but this time, the surrounding pillars were not all lit up as beforeβone of the pillars on the left side of the ring was still black in its original blackness, as if there was a gap in the original perfect circle.
"Strange, this time, the result seems to be even worse than before......" Looking at the stone pillar that did not light up, Xue Lingphantom Ice said with some disappointment.
"No, I think ......" As if realizing something, Duan Qing quickly observed the appearance of the entire second floor, and then looked at the disc below again: "We really got it right this time." β
Then, he reached out and grabbed the disc and all the pieces underneath it, and spun it all around: "If that's the case......"
He looked up ahead of him, "What will happen?" β
In front of him, at the edge of the platform, the clouds that had fallen into the twilight of the sunset suddenly swirled rapidly, gradually turning into a violent whirlwind, which flowed rapidly in front of them with a whistling sound. A moment later, in front of them, who were at the center of the storm, a light appeared in the clouds like a light in the nightβa crack suddenly appeared in the rapidly rotating mist, as if the mechanism that had been silent for a thousand years had finally been activated, revealing an ancient door and the ancient aura it brought before their eyes at the same time. The golden glow gradually appeared behind the door, and along with it, the dark red sunset behind the door, was falling.
"This scene is really ......" In everyone's stunned expressions, Duan Qing first let out a sigh: "It's big enough." β
Behind the cloud-made door, the silhouette of what appeared to be a dark city loomed in the twilight sky.
