Chapter 10: Simon's Words
Although the outcome was guessed, when Henry entered the darkness, only Phil entered with him.
On the one hand, these two people are the strongest, and on the other hand, they also want to prove a guess by actually.
After deliberately stopping on the ramp for ten seconds, Henry and Phil were able to knock the arrows off with ease, and Phil even picked up one of them with a handkerchief.
After walking the ramp, the two of them made a scabbard collision for the others to follow, and he observed the arrow.
The structure of the arrow is very ordinary, except for the inscription on the arrow body is incomprehensible, there are no other features, and there are no traces of quenching on the arrow.
The remaining four arrived together, and there was nothing wrong with Chu Ge and Victor, and they were all right.
After passing the ramp, Phil tests out other triggers for the ramp mechanism.
In addition to staying in place for more than ten seconds, every step back when going uphill will result in an arrow shot, and each time it is still three arrows.
However, when going down the top ramp, there is no danger, which means that you can boldly go back when you leave.
After walking up the ramp, a wide square appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
[One-third of the roses withered, and one-seventh of the begonias bloomed.] 】
[One-fifth of the cherry blossoms are broken, and more than half of the cloves are falling.] 】
[Wisdom takes four people to fill it.] 】
Clues on the floor appear in front of the trap as usual.
"Wisdom? It seems that this level is not easy to pass. ”
Touching the carved words, Isaac smiled wryly at the others.
The first half of the plaza is similar to the structure of the silver passage, while the second half is covered with mosaic checkerboard-like tiles, with a small exit at the far left end of the tiles.
There are also carved decorations on the floor tiles, and there are four types of roses, begonias, cherry blossoms, and lilacs, which are carved into the black and white tiles with a special rule.
According to the normal method, there are very few people in the entire Orlanka continent who can pass this test.
This is not only a test of wisdom, but also a series of secrets of the past, and if you don't know the ins and outs, you don't have to try to solve them.
Chu Ge also learned about this matter from the files of the imperial blockade in an accident in his previous life.
In a sense, this relic has not existed for a long time, or even a short time.
According to Chu Ge's memory, this was originally a large dilapidated ruin, built by Pope Sylvia of the Templar and his companion, and the ruins were sealed after erasing the mutations of the old gods in the Nordland jungle.
The information about Sylvia's lovers is very little recorded on the mainland, and they are all the kind with a very high level of secrecy, except for the empire, Chu Ge has only seen it in the realm of elves, and the content is only one scale and half a claw, until now, Chu Ge does not know the name of the mysterious person.
The hidden clue in the second level is the past between the mysterious man and the Pope.
However, this is not to say that if you can't solve the puzzle, you will never be able to reach the next level, because there is never a shortage of "smart people" in this world.
For example, after passing the first level with peace of mind, the only remaining vigilance in everyone's mentality was completely dissipated because of their own "reasoning".
This time it was Oliver who was at the forefront, and after reading the clues on the ground, he completely ignored them, and then without hesitation, stepped on the nearest black chessboard in front of him.
He stepped on the floor tiles carved with cherry blossoms, and when he stood up, there was a slight incongruous sound from the floor tiles, as if the gears had collapsed.
There is no doubt that he stepped on the wrong one.
But so what?
The thought came to everyone's mind at the same time.
Corresponding to [Wisdom Requires Four People to Fill] are four arrows that fly from the wall.
The four arrows fired at Oliver were a little faster than the first level, but they still didn't pose a threat to him.
After a few metal clashes, Oliver put away his sword and continued to walk towards the floor tiles in front of him, then continued to defend against the arrows, repeating this and passing the trap at the closest distance.
This is also the practice of Simon and his party.
If the punishment for breaking the rules can't threaten you, why follow the rules?
Although Chu Ge knew the correct way to pass, he definitely wouldn't use that method to pass, at least not now.
In terms of attributes alone, his strength is a little higher than Simon's, and there is a huge gap in skills between the two, so he also walked over without danger.
Of course, it's still the last one.
After the chessboard square, what appeared in front of several people was a tunnel that was not wide, also shrouded in darkness.
Unlike the first level, the light of the torches dispells the darkness, and there are candlesticks on the walls that can be lit, but the flames of each candlestick emit a slight color.
After the entire tunnel was illuminated, the words on the floor finally emerged under the interplay of the flames of the candlesticks:
[Only when you conquer the power can you get the power!] 】
[One person's efforts are never enough!] 】
[Strength, it takes five people to fill it.] 】
The text in the third level is clearly different from the previous ones, not as an entity, but as an illusion suspended in mid-air.
Behind the text is an even narrower stone slab that blocks the exit from the tunnel.
"I'm going to push open the door."
Since it is a test of strength, the method should be very simple, and even Oliver can think of it at the first time.
As he spoke, he walked up, put the iron sword back at his waist, and pressed his thick arm against the stone slab.
"Huh? Odd? ”
After Oliver pushed hard, he found that the slate was not moving, and his old face suddenly became a little unbearable.
He took a step back, then took a deep breath, a few hideous green tendons bulging out at his temples, and roared as he pushed the slate with all his might, and the veins on his arms stood out.
With Oliver's full thrust, the slate finally creaked with an overwhelming crunch, and was pushed at an extremely slow speed.
Seeing the fine beads of sweat on Oliver's neck appear as densely and quickly as mushrooms after a rain, Isaac immediately rushed to help.
After he joined, the speed at which the slate was pushed increased significantly, and seeing this, Henry and Phil glanced at each other and said:
"Everybody, let's get on it together, so we should be able to push the slate away faster!"
With the efforts of six people, the speed of the slate has almost increased to the fastest, and the tooth-making creak is much faster than before.
A ray of light shot out from behind the slate, and everyone tried their best to make the last effort when they saw this gratifying scene.
Only Chu Ge was alone, and at this time, he let go of his hand.
And, quickly jumped back.
It's not that no one noticed his movements, but at this last moment, no one was willing to take the initiative to vent his strength, and he didn't have time to think about the reason for Chu Ge to retreat.
The threat of the Agency? That kind of weak crossbow arrow, even if it turns into five, is not far enough to hurt them!
If Simon were still alive, they wouldn't have been so careless.
Simon in his previous life, but he survived peacefully, and then,
Told them everything.
