“…… And then what? ”

The whistling wind roared in his ears, and the humming of saturated energy rubbing against each other seemed to place the entire area in the center of the rising storm, and Xue Lingphantom Ice, who endured the numbness brought by the surface of his body, also frowned his eyebrows, and the autumn-like eyes that appeared under the slender two eyebrows also showed a somewhat funny expression: "I don't seem to feel any changes." ”

"Wait, wait, am I not moving correctly?" Staring closely at the scene of the small stone pillars lined up next to each other in front of him, Duan Qing, who had maintained a spell-casting posture for a long time without moving, finally showed a dry smile: "Even such a strong reaction has appeared, how can it not be activated?" This pillar of light has already broken through the sky! ”

"Maybe you've only got the first step right, so the energy that has been concentrated shows signs of being activated." Then Fura replied calmly, "At present, the concentration of wind elements in the local area continues to increase, and we must find a way to vent it, otherwise-"

"It's going to bang, right?" A few black lines jumped out of his face, and the gray-robed magician gritted his teeth in a natural voice: "Hey, I didn't expect to face such a dilemma in the end...... Hurry up, is there anything else that hasn't been done? ”

"Don't rush yet, think about it step by step." Slightly pressing the shoulder of Duan Qing, who was looking around, Xue Lingphantom Ice then returned his attention to the surface of the small stone pillar in front of him: "Is it only the first stone pillar that is placed correctly?" ”

"Thank you for the reminder, the position of the first pillar is fixed." Duan Qing replied expressionlessly: "It is also a great gift given to us by System Bai, and the so-called array is only based on it. ”

"Hmm, okay." Shrugging helplessly, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice withdrew her raised eyebrows into the emerald green storm in the sky: "Is there anything else that needs to be explained?" What are the rules of arrangement? ”

"Rules? The only rule is that the wind elemental magic energy is needed to move these stone pillars. Pouting his mouth, Duan Qing replied calmly, "I will be responsible for operating the wind elementals and guiding these stone pillars to where they can be guided, and the rest is just to arrange them back and forth to find the order in which this central function is successfully activated." ”

"It's like the last screw in a machine, isn't it?" Pinching her chin and nodding, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice's long white hair, bathed in emerald green storm energy, also rose high as she leaned forward: "Let me see—how about screwing the second pillar onto it?" ”

"Why?"

"There's no reason, a woman's intuition."

Calmly answering the irresponsible words, Xue Ling Phantom Bing looked back at Duan Qing who was smiling bitterly on the side with the same indifferent gaze: "You can choose not to believe it, and there will be nothing to lose anyway." ”

"Well, you can't stop here anyway." Pouting and retracting his gaze, Duan Qing raised his arm staggeringly: "The stage has been set up for you, but I want to remind you: only after the lighting, sound and special effects are completely in place, it is possible for us to see this stage in its entirety." ”

"It doesn't matter, I don't understand anything anyway." Pointing in another direction indiscriminately, the voice of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice also echoed between the scattered air between the two people with the rotation of the third slender stone pillar: "Anyway, according to the idea of your previous random attempt, I will put an answer out for you to see—huh?" ”

“……”

A suspicious voice was heard, and Xue Ling's phantom ice's voice also stopped in a strange position, and the obvious abnormality also attracted the attention of the other two people, and Qi Qi's eyes instantly gathered around her: "What's wrong?" ”

"Although I would like to say that we can try again and again to find these patterns hidden between the screws." Without answering Duan Qing's question immediately, Xue Ling's phantom ice's face gradually became serious: "But...... Isn't the location of these small stone pillars a bit similar to the location of the stone pillars outside? ”

"You mean that they should be aligned with the stone pillars we passed earlier?" Glancing in the direction behind him, Duan Qing's expression became helpless at the next moment: "The approximate location we saw once when we first entered this cave, who can remember it now." ”

"No need to remember, it's right behind us." Closing her eyes slightly, Fura on the side then let out a smile that was unique to the moment when she sensed the key: "Leave it to me, I'm quite confident in my sense of space...... Not. ”

"What's wrong with this time?"

“…… Wrong. ”

The smile on his face was delayed for a moment, and Furana's expression in front of Duan Qing took on a bit of doubt: "In the same ring, some stone pillars appear twice, and some places don't have any. ”

"Has it been moved?" Xue Ling's phantom ice looked a little anxious and asked, "Is it to fill in according to the current prompt?" Or go back and restore those pillars to their original positions? ”

"Even if there is no thick fog, all we can see is a single fan of the entire ring area." Duan Qing, who was trying to control the central hub in front of him, also shook his head: "It's impossible for us to get all the distribution information on the entire ring area. ”

"Is this clue really useless?"

Shaking his head deeply, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who took a step back, pressed his forehead and let out a wry smile: "The energy storm has been raised to the limit, and we don't have time to investigate the rest of this ruin. ”

"No, that's a very useful clue." Duan Qing, who answered her, then smiled slightly: "I'm a person who has actually repaired this ruin, and I still have some of my own impressions of the magic circuit repair in this place, plus my familiarity with this circular distribution——"

"The so-called disc-shaped structure is not unique to the one in front of you."

As he said this, his twisted wrist then stretched out towards the central hub of the ring where the large and small stone pillars were located, and the stone pillars wrapped in the wind then began a new round of movement under Duan Qing's movements, quickly crisscrossing under the drag of countless crystalline magical lights. Beads of concentrated sweat flowed between the corners of his forehead, and Duan Qing's breath became more and more rapid as this stream of light passed, and the direction of the stone pillars that had crossed the surface of the disc for countless attempts was then showing one possibility after another in the center of his pupils, and the number of needle-shaped stone pillars that had inexplicably stopped in certain positions also began to become more and more: "-This time! ”

"It's okay!"

He uttered a final declaration, pointing to the last permutations of the stone pillars that had unfolded in front of him and raised his palm, and the brilliant sparks then replaced the countless emerald storms that had surrounded the cavern and scattered like rolling meteors towards every corner of the cavern.

********************************

"You've made quite a fuss this time."

After a while, in the center of the Wind Ruins, the countless ruins that were originally buried above the cave had disappeared with the disappearance of the storm, and a large area of overturned dirt and grass clippings also appeared with a large crater at this time, and the explosion scattered in the distance around this ruin: "This ruin was really completely destroyed." ”

"Where is it so serious as you say, this ruin is in a state of destruction."

Slowly crawling out of the center of these flying craters, a gray-robed magician named Duan Qing greeted Surtu, who was standing on the edge of the giant pit, with a gray-headed and earthy face: "We are just activating the originally hidden source of magic power under the ruins now, it's not a big deal." ”

"Inspired the source of mana? Where is that thing now? ”

"So you don't have the knowledge of magic to the extreme, don't be afraid of being embarrassed, just say it obediently."

Putting on a helpless look, Duan Qing, who said sarcastic words, then climbed to the edge of the giant pit with difficulty and embarrassment: "After being stimulated, the source of magic power is naturally exhausted with the effect it was supposed to play, what else can be left?" ”

“…… What is the role of this source of magic buried beneath this ruin? Taking a deep breath, Surtu, who was holding his hands on his back, asked solemnly, "Is it related to God's guidance?" ”

"Why, Surtu has heard of those prophecies too?" Raising his eyebrows, Duan Qing, who looked surprised, panted and looked back at the face above: "I thought you appeared here to save us." ”

"I'm the patriarch of the Nasu tribe now, and I can't risk my life for the disappearance of you adventurers." Shaking his head, Surtu replied in a low voice, "But if it is for the sake of the rumors that have been passed down from our ancestors for generations, and the hope of revival, the risk will be worth it. ”

"It's a bit sad, but we did find some information beneath this ruin." With a look of regret on his face, Duan Qing then stretched out his hand behind him and signaled, "You don't need to ask, we originally planned to share this information with the Su Clan, but before that, can we let the wounded in our team rest first?" We've spent enough time exploring the ruins. ”

“…… It's good. Turning around with his hands behind his back, Surtu's gaze gradually left Duan Qing's direction: "Then you can rest first, come with me." ”

"Thank you, Patriarch." Nodding his head, Duan Qing then also beckoned behind him: "Let's go, let's go back." ”

"I feel like I've seen familiar faces." After pausing for a moment, the voice belonging to Surtu resounded in front of Duan Qing: "Is it the woman who once made a big fuss in our clan and later saved us?" ”

"Yes, it saved us in this accident." Knowing that the other party was referring to Furla, Duan Qing smiled and stretched out his hand to show, "When the time is ripe, I will be responsible for introducing it." ”

"You should feel it." Ignoring Surtu's meaning, Fura pointed in a low voice towards the distance behind the crater, "That final eruption just now—"

"That's right, all the energy left in a particular direction." Still maintaining the smile on his face, Duan Qing quietly blocked Fula's slender and slender body behind him: "Now is not the time to say such things, we can't catch up anyway, can we?" ”

“……”

"I understand your eagerness to find out the truth right now, but let's take a break." Leaning sideways to look at Furla's silent face, Duan Qing sighed and continued to persuade: "Including yourself, the physical condition of all of us is not suitable for continuing to fight. ”

"Come, you two."

His voice paused, and then he raised his voice in the direction of Sunrise and Gedmayne, who were revealed above the crater, "Go back with you." ”

"She still needs us to escort her?" Muttering this sentence to himself, Asahi Dongsheng, who stepped forward, then asked mysteriously, "Tell me, what happened to you down there?" Is this great god going crazy again? ”

"With your IQ, you can't guess in this life, let's go back and talk about it." Shaking his head, Duan Qing then pushed his hand towards the other party angrily: "Don't forget our current situation, do you want to encounter more attacks?" ”

"Before you get out of this crater, this place has almost become a storm." Gedmane, who had also stepped forward, then shook his head and replied, "Although, although the possibility of a new attack is slim, it is always right to be careful. ”

"Let's go."

The departing figure disappeared into the scene at the edge of the crater, and the gray-robed magician then whispered behind him, "What are you still doing there?" ”

"I'm thinking about what just happened." Slowly walked to Duan Qing's side, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who finally appeared here, replied in a low voice with an indifferent voice: "You should have heard those voices, you, you...... You know what it means, don't you? ”

"How is that possible?" Spreading his hands and posing helplessly, Duan Qing replied casually: "Even the final arrangement is a random trial, how can I know more things." ”

"Random attempts?" There was a feeling of disbelief in his eyes, and the incomparably low voice of Xue Ling Phantom Ice also echoed in Duan Qing's ears at this time: "Don't try to hide it from my eyes, even I feel familiar with the final arrangement of those stone pillars." ”

"What looks like a messy order is actually a bit like something you have."
