Chapter 55: The Labyrinth
As Oriona cast the spell, the snow around her rolled up silently and flew in front of Oriona, gathering and condensing under her feet, gradually turning into ice, and a white ice bridge began to stretch from her feet along the chains, until it reached the opposite side. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Let's go!" Oriana was the first to step onto the ice bridge.
I looked at the ice bridge, which was large enough for two carriages, and with a sigh of admiration, I followed Oriana forward.
The three of them arrived at the opposite side, and sure enough, there was only a black stone wall.
Oriana observed, and began to grope with her hands on the stone wall. I followed her example and searched carefully on the stone wall.
Minutes and seconds passed, and none of the three of us could find any mechanism on the stone wall. Orianna also began to wonder if she had been right.
"Could it really be that we're in the wrong place?" Oriana said.
I looked left and right and said, "This is the only place in this canyon where there is such a chain, if it is not here, then where can it be?"
"You say, will Atlanta be down there!" Ness interjected.
I looked at Ness with Oriana.
Ness hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't look at me, I'm just talking nonsense."
I smiled, "Perhaps, it's not nonsense." I looked at Oriona and saw the same thing in her eyes.
"So, how do we go down?" I looked at Oriana and asked, "My little dragon can't fly!" ”
"You think, how did the people from Crystal Traces get to Atlanta when they came here? They're going to get here just like us, and they're not as powerful as we are, so how are they going to get down? There must be some way for ordinary people to get to and from Atlanta! Orianna reasoned.
I continued, "That kind of device is not complicated, even ordinary people can activate it, there is nothing special here, except for this chain, so the way to enter Atlanta must be on this chain."
Ness watched me and Oriana sing and harmonize, not knowing what we were talking about.
"But what do you do with this chain?" Orianna thought with a frown.
I walked over to the chains, looked closely, and finally found a clue in the stone wall near us.
"Come and see!" I beckoned Oriona and Ness to come over, pointed to the place where the chains had been nailed into the stone wall, and said, "Do you see this groove?"
"This is ......," Oriana's eyes lit up.
I reached out and touched the groove, and a rough touch came from my fingertips.
"There is a pattern inside this groove, and I think it should be a kind of rune." I said to the two of them.
Oriana crouched down and reached out to touch the groove as well.
"It's really a rune, this is the keyhole to enter Atlanta, and you need a key to enter Atlanta."
"If there really is a pass like a key, it should have been brought in by the people who came here last time Crystal Trace, what should we do?" I said.
"Runes need to be matched to be able to sense each other, that is, with the same power as this rune, flow according to the same pattern as this rune, you can sense with this rune." Orianna looked down at the groove, "Let me try it!"
Oriana pressed her hand to the groove, feeling the lines, and a wave of magic gathered in her palm, flowing along the lines she felt.
After a few moments, Oriana stood up and shook her head at me.
"The power in this rune is special, I don't know what it is?"
"Don't know?" I was a little surprised, with Oriana's experience, she didn't even know about this kind of thing, it must be very special.
I asked Oriana to make room for me, and covered my hand in the grooved lines.
After a moment, I was shocked.
This pattern is exactly the same as a small section in one of the two transparent runes in my body. Compared to the complex transparent rune, the rune next to the chain was relatively simple, and if it hadn't been for the transparent rune that suddenly trembled slightly, I would never have discovered the connection between the two of them.
My heart moved, and I tried to use my strength to inject all the power of the four elements into the transparent rune, and suddenly the rune trembled, and the four elements came together and turned into a rich purple, and began to flow along the lines of the transparent rune on its own.
There was a glow in the groove where my palm was pressing, and I let go of my hand in shock and took two steps back.
"What's wrong?" Orianna grabbed my arm.
I was flustered: "I, I don't know!"
"Look!" Ness pointed ahead.
I saw that from the abyss, a little light rose from the abyss, and after touching the chains, they condensed together and became a rope of light leading to the abyss, and the points of light continued to increase, and at the end of the rope they were woven into a large platform, large enough to hold four or five carriages.
"Gone!" Orianna pulled me, still in shock, up to the light platform.
After the three of us stood, the light platform began to slowly descend, and our bodies slowly sank into the abyss, the sky above us becoming more and more slender, and silence enveloped us.
It didn't take long for the light platform to stop smoothly in mid-air, and a huge hole appeared in the mountain wall in front of us, and there was a faint fire light coming out of it, and on the stone wall next to the cave entrance, there were three big characters carved out: "Atlanta!"
The three of them stepped off the platform and stepped onto the land of Atlanta.
The light platform slowly turned into a point of light again, slowly dissipating in mid-air.
I glanced up at the long gone sky again and followed Oriana forward.
"Something must be going on here!" Oriana said as she walked, "Syndra told me that there will be guards at the entrance to Atlanta at any time, and you see that there is no one here, there must be something wrong inside, everyone be careful." ”
Entering Atlanta, the passage was lit with oil lamps on both sides, illuminating the passage of ghosts, and the passage had many forks, like a labyrinth, Oriana walked in front, Ness followed her, I followed Ness, and when I passed a corner, the two men in front of me suddenly disappeared.
"Ness! Orianna! "I looked back and forth, the forks in the road around me were complicated, there was no shadow of these two people at all, and the worse thing was that I was lost.
I anxiously searched the passages one by one, but the confusion became more and more chaotic, until at last I had no idea where I was, there were passages on all sides, the flames of the oil lamps on the stone walls flickered, and my heart sank into a trough.
