In the reflection of the potion in the basin, Alyssa Kamieu, Tannis, and Dorothy walked into the tree-grown house, while the other three stayed outside, in addition to acting as a windbreaker, to prevent any traps from catching them all in the house.

Eventually, the Mage's Eye followed Alyssa into the dimly lit room.

"Can't the perspective in this basin be changed......" Fett circled the basin twice, but still couldn't find the right perspective.

"I don't mind if you're looking for a perspective or something, but can you not pass through me if you can? I feel hairy......"

Sivi glanced at the apprehensive ghost girl.

Generally speaking, if a ghost passes through an ordinary person's body, it will make people feel chills, and because it takes away a certain amount of life force, it will make ordinary people sick.

However, since Fit has divine magic on his body, and Lai Xiwei is not an ordinary person, so except for psychological discomfort, Xiwei has no other feeling when he is pierced by Fit.

"This is a manifestation of curiosity, isn't there a saying that 'curiosity kills the nine-tailed cat'!" Fett argued unconvinced.

"That proverb was meant to warn people not to be curious about strange things, and besides, aren't you dead......"

Sivi replied angrily, "Stop playing, let's see what they find." ”

Although she seemed to want to say something, Alyssa in the reflection did find something in the room, so the ghost girl also closed her mouth and floated above Sivi's head, looking at the basin at the same angle as him.

In the reflection, a few of the little ones seemed to be saying something, but the mage's eye didn't have the effect of being able to pick up sounds, so Sivi couldn't tell what they were talking about.

Then the perspective slowly opened, and the contents of the room were also revealed in front of Sivi and Fit.

It was a wooden platform and a twig.

On the wooden platform there are some Humen characters that seem to have been carved with sharp objects. And on the branch of the tree grows a golden star fruit.

Both Sivi and Fett both pressed their faces closer to the surface of the potion liquid, but fortunately, the mage who controlled the mage's eye in the Qiyao Mage Tower also seemed to want to read the words on the wooden platform, so the screen suddenly zoomed in.

"'Take Venus, which is prone to withering. Find the nearest leper and pimple face, pluck out the last hair of the bald man among them, and exchange Venus for the treasure in the bald man's pocket. It's okay to fail once, Venus will appear before you succeed. ’…… What kind of mess is this? ”

The corners of Fett's mouth twitched after reading the words clearly: "What kind of leprosy and pimple face." I don't know at all! ”

"This should be what the rules call a 'mystery'." Sivi touched his chin with interest: "At present, it seems to be a guessing puzzle, and it is a very simple guessing puzzle." ”

"Do you already know the answer?"

The ghostly girl with two ponytails turned her face and stared at Sivi incredulously.

"Yes. I'm pretty good at this kind of stuff. Xiwei showed a light smile: "This is not difficult at all, it depends on whether Alyssa wants to get the key point." ”

- The Chessboard World? House of Planting Trees –

"What kind of mess is this?" Dorothy had a black line on her head and said, "What kind of leprosy and pimple face, I don't know why at all!" (A ghost sneezes)"

"It's supposed to be a mystery."

Kamiyu studied the text carefully, as if trying to find some new clue from it.

"Whether it's a leprosy head or a pimple face, in short, you have to find someone first." Tannis thought for a moment and said, "The meaning of the prompt 'Find the nearest leper and pimple face'. I guess let's go to the nearest town, right? ”

"If it's really just taken literally, then we'll have to pull out the last hair on the bald man's head after that......" Alyssa frowned, instinctively feeling that something wasn't right, "I always felt that this kind of thing shouldn't be interpreted literally." ”

After a few people discussed it to no avail, they decided to let a few people who were outside to participate in the discussion, and it was already certain that there was nothing wrong with the room anyway.

"Theo. Can you stay on alert all the time? To be on the safe side, Alyssa asked.

"If it's not a big distance, no problem."

The little girl touched the cat's ears on her head, blinked her bright yellow eyes, and said with great confidence.

Once again, they began to brainstorm the words carved on the wooden table.

"The only thing that's certain now is that the 'Venus' in it refers to this thing." Kamiyu pointed to the star fruit in his hand: "Besides, the treasure should be the Freedom Badge." ”

Although it is written in the code that it is easy to wither, it is also pointed out that even if it is withered, as long as the code word is not unraveled and the badge as a treasure is not taken away, this star fruit will still grow back, so he also took it off as a deserved.

"The nearest town is five blocks away from here, and if we set off to get there now, it will take more than six hours, and even if we use a broomstick, it will take about two hours if the wind is smooth, not to mention that those monsters flying in the sky will not let us pass easily...... Anyway, the secret words specifically pointed out that this fruit that is 'easy to wilt' can't last that long, right? ”

Alyssa's brow never lifted after she got the board map from Theo, and she did the deduction over and over again, but she could only come to the same conclusion.

"In other words, isn't the code word really telling us to go to town?" Tannis was also distressed, which made the fat on his face squeeze together, which looked a little funny, but no one had the heart to pay attention to it now.

"Could it be that there are special leprosy heads, pimple faces, and bald people waiting for us to complete this task?"

"Except for the rescuers, public enemies, and us candidates, there shouldn't be anyone else in the field." Alyssa shook her head, rejecting the little fat man's conjecture.

For the rest of the day, everyone expressed their opinions, but they were found out and denied one by one, and then the cabin fell into an eerie silence.

After a long silence, Alyssa seemed to have made a difficult decision: "It's been almost an hour, and if we can't do it, we'll have to give up the mystery and continue to move towards the finish line." ”

As if to echo her words, the star fruit suddenly made a sizzling sound, as if all the moisture in it had disappeared at once, and wrinkled and shrunk into a small mass the size of a fingernail under the gaze of everyone, and then turned into black and white ashes, scattered on the wooden platform.

At the same time, on the bare branches, the identical star fruit did not even transmit the pollen at the speed of the fast release on TV, and the whole process of flowering and fruiting was completed in a few seconds in an extremely unscientific way.

At this time, Theo, who had been silent since the beginning because he had to remain on guard, suddenly spoke.

"Alyssa, do you remember the riddle that the teacher said before?"

"What?" Because the little girl said it too suddenly, Alyssa couldn't react at once, and asked a little dumbfounded.

"It's the one that 'what animal has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night.'" Theo said briefly.

"Oh, the answer is 'humanoids,' right?" (Because there are not only humanoid intelligent beings in this world, Sivi changed the answer to this riddle from 'human' to 'humanoid creatures'...... ）

Alyssa came back to her senses: "The riddle is ...... Kindness? ”

In that riddle, the morning represents the crawling infancy, the noon represents the young adult who walks on two legs, and the evening represents the old age with crutches, not the literal interpretation of the morning, noon, and late.

So why do you have to take a literal understanding of dysentery, pimple face, and baldness?

And that fruit also brings an important tip – the place to go must be able to reach within an hour!

In this way, the whole range can be narrowed down to a certain extent. And then use those three words to put it into words......

Thinking of this, Alyssa once again set her eyes on the map.

"I know the answer!"

All eyes were on Alyssa. The girl pointed her finger at a point on the map......

——State Guest House——

"Huh? Why did Alyssa point to the desert grid to the right of the forest where they were? Fit asked, inexplicably.

"Because Alyssa has already thought of the answer."

Sivi smiled and explained to Fett: "'Dysentery' refers to the Gobi grid with only a few sparse shrubs, and 'pimple face' refers to the wind-eroded grid with many stone pillars eroded by wind and water. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the huge chessboard map in the sky outside the window: "The 'bald man among them' is a barren land sandwiched between these two squares, a desert grid. ”

"What do you mean by 'pulling out the hair of a bald man'?" Fett asked again.

"Maybe there's an oasis in that desert or something, but when you get there, you should know what to do next, and how to find the badge."

"Don't you think it's a bit too far-fetched?" The ghost girl was probably dissatisfied with her failure to think about it at all, and grumbled with her lips.

"Based on the rate at which the star fruit rots, this should be the most reliable inference. Because I could see the map as soon as I looked up, I had this conjecture when I saw this code word, and the star fruit made me sure of my own answer, and that's it. ”

Sivi looked happy: "I didn't expect to come to the same conclusion as me so quickly, and I am worthy of being a proud student." (To be continued.) )
