Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Colorless Stone Under the Seven-Quarter Moon
See, does Joshua want us to see something through it? Mapping? Could it be that some light can be mapped by it? Yunmo muttered to himself, turning the glasses in his hand over and over again, but he never found the slightest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yunmo put on monocles and wandered around the cemetery like a polite archaeologist, naturally he still found nothing like a cat's eye, and it was really not so simple to find something, at least it was absolutely impossible for players to knock out the puzzle of this puzzle by wandering around.
Throwing the glasses to Han Lingsha to play, Yunmo and Maoyan squatted down again and came to Joshua's tombstone, which had inscriptions and gems on it, and it was very mysterious at first glance.
"We still don't know about the inscription on the tombstone, but have you studied this gem?" Yunmo touched up and down on the tombstone, and knocked on the delicate gem on the tombstone, the gem shimmered with a faint red fluorescence all the time, and it seemed to have been carefully cut and polished, presenting an almost perfect octagonal shape, which was worth a lot of money at a glance: "Such a good gem, didn't there be a tomb robber in the past to pry it open?" ”
"Since this guy named Joshua has set up a special mechanism, of course he won't let the mechanism be so easily destroyed by others, I've tried slashing with a short sword, prying with a dagger, and even using bewitchment on this gem. But there is not even a trace left, and this gem and this tombstone are definitely not something that players at our stage can destroy. Maoyan shook his head helplessly, and sure enough, it was difficult to find any ideas to solve the puzzle from Yunmo.
"A certain dimension......" Yun Mo muttered to himself and studied the tombstone up and down for almost five minutes, making sure that there was no hidden mechanism on the tombstone, frowning as if he suddenly thought of something, Han Lingsha and Maoyan only saw Yun Mo looking for something on the tombstone like a fool. Sometimes he pressed his face to the gem on the tombstone, and sometimes he took a few steps back, but his gaze remained on the gem.
"Is this a certain dimension?" Yunmo whispered slightly excitedly, and circled around the tombstone and the suspicious cat's eyes like a god.
"Did you find anything?" Han Lingsha, who had been walking around in front of the idol that the player could resurrect, jumped back to Yunmo's side and asked curiously.
"Did you notice that from different distances and from different angles, this gem changes color?" Yunmo was still staring at the gem set in that strange hint.
When Han Lingsha and Maoyan heard Yunmo's words, they also stood in different directions and carefully looked at the beautiful gem to observe the gem, and were surprised to find that they were just standing in different directions at random, as long as they could still see the gem, the gem would show different colors. Next, the three of them began to discuss excitedly the color of the gemstone and the direction in which they were standing.
"I found out that even though we can already see dozens of gemstone colors, all in all, there are only three basic colors. It is the three primary colors of painting, red, green and blue. After various experiments and observations, Uncle Cat's Eye swore that "the further you go to the right, the closer you see the color to blue; Standing directly in front of the tombstone, what we see is green; And if you go to the left, the color will gradually change to red. ”
"A certain dimension presents a certain mystery, this sentence can be understood in this way!" Han Lingsha nodded.
Then the next sentence of the tombstone becomes. Since this puzzle is about colors. Then the information given in the prompt is quite clear, the gray mirror reflects the eyes of the universe, and the only color mentioned in this sentence is gray, and we need to see gray gems. Yunmo then naturally made such an inference.
However, it wasn't so easy for the three players to find the angle to see the gray gem.
For the first time, the three players discovered that they also needed to consider the angle of lighting in the game.
As we all know, the world of "Eternal Calamity" is the world of eternal night where the sun has long since sunk, and in this world, there is no sunlight, only a moon that hangs in the sky forever. Unlike the light of the moon in reality, which reflects the light of the sun, no one knows where the light of the moon in this world comes from, after all, the worldview of the game cannot be understood by the common sense of reality.
However, the moon in this world will still rise and fall differently depending on the time, and it will also have different colors at different times. According to Yunmo's temporary reference to the game encyclopedia, the moon in the world of Eternal Calamity has a total of eight colors, and it changes one color every three hours for 24 hours, and this color also has various religious and cultural meanings in the world. Certain quests and monsters must also be triggered at certain times.
As time goes on, the moon in the sky shifts, and the color of the gemstones that reflect the moon's brilliance changes accordingly. Players are not astronomers, and now they can't figure out the complicated laws for a while, so I'm afraid they can really only rely on luck to make up a gray angle.
"Yellow and blue give green, and red and green give gray. I also learned to draw at the beginning, but this color ratio, if I think about it at this time, it is really difficult for me! And there is such a color-changing moon in the sky that is adding chaos! Cat's eyes hugged her head and said a little frantically.
"We might be able to look at the puzzle from another angle." Han Lingsha whispered, and she showed the monocle in her hand: "After all, we haven't used this glasses yet." ”
"I'm afraid we still have to find the direction where we see the gray gem, I guess this 'gray mirror reflects the eyes of the universe' we have to stand in the area where we see the gray gem and put on glasses to find it." Yunmo shook his head helplessly and said, he also regretted a little that he didn't learn astronomy and painting well, how did he know that he had to study so many things to play a game!
"However, there are more 'mirrors' in this area than just the glasses in our hands!" Han Lingsha said a little proudly, she pushed her glasses, her big emerald green eyes were like a rippling clear lake, and she still wore monocles on the bridge of her nose, looking at a hint of mature intellectual beauty.
Everyone looked along the slender fingers of the cold spirit sand, and unexpectedly found a second mirror in this area that no one else noticed-
At the player's resurrection point, the slender and well-proportioned right hand of the god Innocent is also holding a beautiful mirror, and on that mirror, the current lilac moonlight is reflected!
Innocent's normal image of the god is a handsome man with long hair, dressed in a magnificent robe, with eyeball-woven chains on his hands and feet. His left hand was indeed holding a golden dagger now like when Yunmo chose the god belief in the birth space, but his right hand was not holding a string of human eyes like the birth god statue, but holding such a real mirror! Such details have been subconsciously ignored by players who have always regarded the idol as a resurrection point.
And the moonlight reflected by the mirror is indeed making a spot of light that is slowly moving in the inconspicuous corner of the cemetery with the change of the moon's angle in the sky, Han Lingsha smiled and took off the monocle from his face, and looked at the light in the hands of the gods, which really just blocked the light reflected by the mirror, and at the same time refracted on another inconspicuous child's tombstone.
Yunmo and Maoyan were both extremely surprised, they couldn't imagine that Han Lingsha could find such a detail. The moonlight reflected by the mirror in Innocent's hand can indeed be refracted in this way, but ......
This kind of refraction is useless at all! Purple moonlight was refracted onto a child's tombstone that had nothing to do with Joshua's puzzle. Yunmo and Maoyan rummaged up and down the tombstone of Little Jack, whose epitaph was "I want to conquer the world" but ended his life early at the age of twelve, and they did not find any abnormal clues.
"Huh? Isn't it useful? But this monocle, no matter how I think about it, I can only use it like this. Han Lingsha said in confusion, she really couldn't understand, if this was not the key to solving the puzzle, then why did the game designer need to design such a mirror on Innocent's right hand.
"Maybe it's just the wrong time." Cat's eyes caressed the fragmented whiskers of his chin, and his eyes twinkling in the shadow of his hood gave him the air of a wise man: "Finding the angle of a gray gem with color matching and astronomical knowledge is basically impossible for most players, and the game designer may design such a puzzle as a high threshold for players." We may need to look for something else gray instead of going against this gem here. ”
"You mean...... A gray moon? Yunmo's eyes lit up and asked, thinking like this is indeed more reasonable. There's no reason for a game designer to design a puzzle that requires a lot of expertise to solve, and for the Mirror Society, if you want to solve a puzzle, it should be the developer who explains all the puzzle rules to the player, and you make full use of all the clues that the developer has provided to solve the puzzle.
The three players subconsciously refer to the game background knowledge encyclopedia again, if you want to wait until the gray bleak moon rises, players need to wait another three hours and fifteen minutes, it is already 5:45 in the morning, the purple moon of despair has almost changed into the orange first moon, after the initial moon, players can see the gray bleak moon.
The three players are about to play the game for six hours in a row, and since it is not a matter of waiting here for a while, they simply agreed to go offline to rest for a while, and then meet online here after three hours. Han Lingsha seems to be still a student, even though it's summer vacation, and she still has a thesis to catch up; Maoyan wants to go out to eat a bowl of noodles and drink a cup of soy milk too early; As for Yunmo,He still has "work" to do,And in reality, he suddenly received a message from someone,Citizen's identity ID is bound to all electronic devices,Yunmo Although he is in the game,You can also receive a message from QQ。
The three of them still have a surplus of faith points now, and it seems that completing many tasks will provide faith points, and Yunmo has no need to go to the province for the time being, and directly teleports back to the Holy Flame Hall. In the eyes of the Dream Protector girl, "Lord Heroic Spirit, why did you come back so soon", Yunmo quickly looked for her and then spent 1,600 points to raise the level to level four with the newly obtained soul of almost 2,000 points, and the plus points were two strengths, two physiques and two endurance. As for a little more skill point, Yunmo still threw it on the "Ancient Hero's Roar", and the thrilling battle with Siren's Shadow proved that the roar may last a little longer can be beneficial, and in the face of this kind of monster whose sword skills are almost high enough to block and dodge all of your attacks by eighty or ninety percent, a few seconds longer in the burst time may give him the upper hand in a protracted battle.
For the remaining 400 points, Yunmo spent 300 points on the Holy Flame for 50 points a bottle, and bought five bottles of Yuan Soul Bottle that regained blood, so that the reserve of Yuan Soul Bottle reached another ten bottles, and the remaining 100 points were all used to repair equipment. Every time a player dies in the game, the equipment will automatically drop two points of durability, and if you drop more equipment, it will be directly damaged, and you can find a special NPC to repair it in the game world, but you can also spend a greater price to redeem it for repair before the holy fire, fortunately, Yunmo is now wearing a tabula rasa equipment that was born, which is not worth a few bucks in itself, and it only takes a hundred souls to repair a dozen dead in Ernest. But Yunmo can imagine that if he wears something like an artifact in the future, he is afraid that every repair will be sky-high.
Finally, with a simple farewell to the Dream Protector Girl, Yunmo found an offline option in front of the Holy Fire Hall in front of the Holy Flame Temple, and his body slowly walked into the cold Holy Flame and disappeared suddenly.
I don't know why, the normal offline in the game must pass through the flames in the Holy Flame Hall, which is not blazing at all, and of course it can be forced to go offline during the game, but that kind of offline means that you will commit suicide directly in the game, and the durability of your soul and equipment will drop wildly.
Yunmo only felt that there was another burst of white light flashing in front of him, and he vaguely saw countless data flows, and the next moment he saw the darkness in front of him again, and found his body in reality.
