549 The Riddle of the Dragon[1/5]
"I've checked, and there's actually a rock gate at the end of the passage outside, of the Dragonstone type"
Infinite walked in from outside the door of the showroom, and spread his hands helplessly: "It seems to work through the machine, if you want to open it, you can't do it with lockpicking skills, think about it, either blow it up with explosives, or let those machines remove, I need energy for that thing." ”
The hammer in charge of inspecting the inside of the showroom also said: "There is a secret door inside, just behind the wall inlaid with a glowing crystal ball, but I can't open it, and it is also not a thing that can be dealt with with by lockpicking skills, it seems to be a secret lock."
This result made the wanderers very depressed, originally thought that they were bricks in this area, but the fact seriously hit their confidence, since entering the underground city of the Earth Spirit Temple, there is no trap or mechanism that they can solve, it is not that their craftsmanship is too rough, but the difficulty level of the doors and mechanisms under the Earth Spirit Temple, far beyond the level of craftsmanship they currently master.
The dwarf didn't save face for them, and complained loudly, "Did you learn to pick locks with the intention of becoming a locksmith?" Why can't you open any door? Are you embarrassed to be a thief for this craft? ”
I don't know if the characters in the game affect the player's surname, or if the player sees himself as a character in the game, or if he is subtly influenced by the core consciousness god, players often appear to be "the same on the outside" surname, which is presented in their usual behavior in the game.
It seems that orc players will show a big grinning surname, while dwarves are short-tempered and speak very straight, while halflings and gnome players will become delicate and ingenious, and Terran players will most likely retain most of their original surnames, but this is also in line with the game's Terran surnames are varied and diverse.
The main thing is that the culture of the regions in Endless is influencing players to speak with a little local style, such as using funny proverbs or slang to express themselves like the aborigines.
This is something that Asian Americans adapt to very quickly, and Europa players are always complaining that Asian American players usually talk enough to beat around the bush, which is even more annoying now because they often say a sentence with several meanings, making it difficult to figure out what they are trying to say
It is worth mentioning that linguists have proven that Asian American is the most advanced language, because among the same syllables, Asian American contains the most information, and can even have different meanings through different tones, expressions, and different environments, places, people, and times when they are used.
Every year, people of other nationalities who want to take the Asian American Certificate IV will always be driven crazy by the question on the exam paper:
Please explain the meaning of each "meaning" in the following question, and explain the situation in which A and B are in and the social relationship in which they live. ”
A: What does this mean?
B: It doesn't mean anything, it means it.
A: That's not interesting enough for you.
B: Small meaning, small meaning.
A: You're such an interesting person.
B: Actually, it doesn't mean anything else.
A: I'm embarrassed then.
B: I'm sorry
The dwarf's thick throat made the wanderers look bad, and the hammer, who had always regarded himself as a cold-faced smiler, said angrily: "You think we are willing? The environment here is at least for those who are above the 4th level, so why don't you wait for me to go back and practice? ”
Hehe laughed a few times, and the dwarf smiled slyly: "No need, isn't there a mage here?" He can't open it, I guess there are few mages in "Endless" who can open it at the moment! ”
Although mages are recognized as theoretical and academic players, and pig-like players in actual combat, no one dares to deny that they have mastered a large number of strange spells, and they are indeed authoritative in dealing with the difficult and miscellaneous diseases encountered in various adventures, which cannot be compared with warlocks and wizards who are spellcasters.
Sycamore shrugged, ignoring the dwarf's wilting fanning of the flames, walked over and tapped the wall lightly with the staff in his hand, and a [switch] was released, and the relatively delicate door slid into the side of the wall with a rattling sound.
This is due to the fact that he was in distress in the secret room before, and was forced to burn skills and spells, even the [switch technique], which is generally not said that no one burns it, and most mages may not learn the 0-level spells, have been burned by him to the 2nd level 20 level, a full 60-level spell effect, and it is still possible to open a secret door.
Not all doors can be opened, only those that don't need a key, only rely on the operation of the door or closed switch object, can be opened with it, and the size and mass of the object that can be opened also increases with the increase of the spell level, at the beginning, at most open a box, box or something, and it is delusional to open the heavy stone door.
Faced with the open stone gate, the wanderers were speechless at the dwarves' deliberate stimulation of them, and could only go to explore the way first.
The inside of the secret room is also a small space, and the ground is also covered with thick dust, in order to prevent the recurrence of what happened just now, Lingyue Shuangxue and Little Lori Xiaoxiao immediately used the water creation technique, and then through the whirlwind formed by Sarasi's wind creation technique, the dust in the room was cleaned up, and several half-human-high large mud balls were made before they dared to enter.
The chamber was empty, with no furnishings, but four more doors appeared on the four walls, one for them to enter, and the other for the others, with four dragons carved into the beautiful white marble walls with a slight red vein, each leading to a certain place like the dragon gate outside.
Seeing this setting, everyone collectively scolded, like this kind of "fork in the road" with one ring after another, it is the most blood-vomiting, and you will be dizzy if you can't go far.
The area of the dungeon of the Earth Spirit Temple was too large, and after they came down and walked for a long time, they were only moving in a small area, and they didn't even touch a player from another team.
Theoretically, there must be a large number of players entering the dungeon from the Dire Rat Lair, and even if some of them are killed by the Dire, there will always be survivors who will enter the dungeon.
I don't know if the area that the Dire Lair leads to is not connected to the area they are in, or if the area they are in is a reading area at all, and they are not a player anyway.
The white marble dragon was like a life, with eyes inlaid with some kind of dark gem, silently watching them, and the light brought by the light spell flowed in the dragon's eyes, reflecting a strange look of "meaning".
"Why do I think these dragons are so evil?"
Grom shook his body and scratched his chest hair with his claws: "Don't goblins hate dragons?" Why are there so many dragon statues in the temple? ”
"Goblins don't hate dragons, they fear dragons! Fear often leads to worship."
After Wutong and the other wanderers detected the secret room and sent out a safety signal that there were no traps, they walked in while popularizing science: "The 'dragon culture' of this world is more thorough than that of our Asian American region, don't look at a dragon and can't see it, but the entire civilization and history are closely related to dragons, you can ask Frost Snow and their pastor to know." ”
He didn't plan to start a lesson for the orc frenzy, he walked to the marble dragon gate to check, just now the wanderers had already tried, they couldn't open it either, they had completely given up on themselves, and they didn't even bother to try to unlock the remaining two dragon gates, these damn doors didn't even have a keyhole!
"It is indeed closely related, the native gods of Kovare: the gods of Destiny, all of whom are the embodiment of dragons"
Lingyue Frost Snow explained simply: "In other words, Kovaray's god system belongs to the 'dragon god system', and all the gods are promoted by powerful dragons who ignite the divine fire after obtaining the Heavenly Mandate Godhead."
Wutong knows more about this knowledge than the Lingyue Frost Snow of the priesthood, so naturally he is not interested in listening to her explanation, and focuses on the dragon gate, the marble dragon gate is about 3 meters high, even with the size of a human being, it can be regarded as a gate, not to mention a dwarf goblin.
But as soon as he approached the dragon gate, a dull voice suddenly said in a strange lingua franca:
"No need to summon, no need to drive away. Appears at night and dissipates during the day. Arrives in spring and leaves in winter. Starts in December and ends in January. ”
They were distracted from listening to Lingyue Frost and Snow tell mythological stories, so the unsuspecting crowd was frightened by the sudden sound and almost jumped up, while Wutong hurriedly smashed it with a [Arcane Missile], because he was closest to the dragon gate and saw the marble dragon's mouth move!
But the powerful arcane missile of the sycamore failed to cause any damage to the marble dragon, and it did not react after saying this, and the frightened crowd was on guard for a long time, and then surrounded again, looking curiously at the stone gate that was talking.
How can stones speak?
Considering that this was originally a fantasy world, it was not unacceptable, but the first time they encountered it, it still made them a little novel, and soon they found out that one step in front of the dragon gate was exactly a one-foot-square circle formed by the marble dragon on the dragon gate derived from the wall to the tail on the floor, as long as someone stepped into its tail circle, the dragon on the stone gate would say this sentence.
"What do you mean?"
Everyone is confused, is it the welcome speech of the goblin era?
Obviously not, Wutong tried it with [Switch], but I don't know if this stone door is too heavy, or if it doesn't belong to the type that can be opened by [Switch] at all, and it has no effect at all.
The wanderers ran to the other two dragon doors and tried them, only to find that the marble dragons on the two doors were repeating the same phrase.
"Could it be voice-activated? Do I need to open the password? Or do you need a code? ”
Everyone guessed, and the dwarf ran to a stone door, stood on the dragon's tail and shouted, "Open the door sesame!! ”
"It's supposed to be a riddle?"
Lingyue Frost and Snow blinked her eyes and guessed, "What appears at night?" Dissipate during the day? Ghost? The crowd was speechless, which was very much in line with the speculation of the clergy.
"Wait! Look! There are no cracks in these three doors! ”
Infinity suddenly discovered something new, and tapped a dagger on the marble dragon gate, making sure that the dragon gate was carved directly into the rock wall, and the back was not hollow, but solid!
Wutong frowned and touched his chin: "I guess you have to guess the riddle correctly to trigger the mechanism, right?" Otherwise, there is no reason to set up such an advanced 'voice-activated door' on a solid wall. What exactly is the mystery? ”
"Is it a firefly that appears at night? They hide during the day! ”
"Nonsense! The wolf also comes out at night! It says 'dissipation'! It's not 'disappearing', it's not hiding! ”
"Darkness? Isn't it dark at night? Isn't the day gone? ”
"Uh, this is a bit like?"
"Darkness! Dark! Dark! ”
"Fireflies! Firefly! Firefly! ”
"Wolves! Wolf! Wolf! ”
Everyone screamed, but there was no response.
"Ah~!!! Guessing the riddle is really the most annoying! ”
Dwarves, orcs, and trolls, including the little three, all clutched their heads and screamed.
