Chapter 152: Ivan's Secret

After rewinding dozens of seconds, Su Xiao and Chen Yaxuan tried to open their eyes, and what they saw was neither a world-destroying flame magic nor an earth-destroying flame dragon, there was only a five-meter-square basement here, and there were only two things in the basement: one was a fire and the other was a treasure chest.

"Oops, I'm scared to death......" Chen Yaxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly patted her chest to suppress the shock.

Su Xiao looked at Chen Yaxuan, her gaze involuntarily shifted from her small hand to her rather proud peak, and after being stunned for a moment, she quickly turned her head and said embarrassedly: "Come on, let me see what's in the box!" ”

"Hmph, big pervert!" Su Xiao's performance was fully seen by Chen Yaxuan, and she immediately scolded with a voice that only she could hear, and then followed Su Xiao to the treasure chest, while looking down at her chest, she said that boys seem to like girls with big breasts, and she didn't know her specifications Su Xiaoman was not satisfied.

Su Xiao naturally didn't notice Chen Yaxuan's shyness, playing games, he has always been serious.

Took out the variety key and inserted it into the rusty keyhole, turned the key and heard the "click" sound coming from the lock, Su Xiao was very happy, fortunately the gold digger's variety key is a skill that claims to be able to open any lock, otherwise with the degree of rust of this treasure chest, the key exchanged for mercenary contributions will not be able to be opened.

"Is this the same box you see in Abyssal City?" Chen Yaxuan hid behind Su Xiao, for fear that something that needed to code would pop up the moment the box was opened.

Su Xiao lifted the lid of the treasure chest, which was a little rusty, looked inside, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there are only two pieces of paper inside." ”

It is not accurate to say that two sheets of paper are actually a roll of paper and an envelope.

The paper roll was spread out and was a square piece of parchment, on which some peculiar lines were outlined in red ink, neither words nor paintings, no different from ghost drawings to Su Xiao.

Opening the envelope and pulling out two yellowed pieces of letter paper from inside, Su Xiao read in a low voice: "Hello to the person who read this letter." My name is Ivan, and you've probably never heard of my name, so I'll tell you that I'm the commander who designed and built this city, and I'm part of this basement. My bones are buried under the stone steps leading to the basement, and if you have found this letter by stepping on those steps, please read it carefully. ”

"Huh——!" Hearing that there was a person's bones buried under the stone steps she had just walked through, Chen Yaxuan suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and couldn't help muttering: "What kind of hobby does this person have......

Su Xiao was not afraid, shuddered, and said: "Think about the tombs of those emperors in our history, are they all required to only enter but not exit, and the people who built the tombs have to stay in them for burial in the end?" ”

The more Chen Yaxuan listened, the more she felt terrible, and she punched Su Xiao dissatisfiedly, and while looking around uneasily, she said, "Can that be the same?" He was the builder of the city, not the builder of the tomb. ”

Su Xiao asked rhetorically: "The customs of each place are different, maybe the people who build tombs in this world don't have to die?" ”

No one knows why this Ivan buried himself under the castle, whether it is a work need or a personal interest, anyway, Peacock City has been standing for hundreds of years, and this matter has become a historical problem.

Su Xiaocai didn't bother to study a corpse, and continued to read the letter by the light of the fire: "I am a magician, and when I was young, I studied all kinds of magic arrays, including some complex and bizarre giant magic arrays, but unfortunately they are useless. ”

"Five years ago, the king ordered me to build a city here, and while other engineers were thinking about how to make the walls strong, I was thinking about how to apply what I had learned. Finally, I was able to draw a satisfactory sketch, not only of the city walls, but also of the houses and streets of the city. Obviously, this is no ordinary city, under my design, Peacock City will become the foundation of a giant defensive circle, and when perfected, it will keep the entire city invulnerable and impregnable! It's a pity that the city painting array was originally a whim for me, and I'm afraid I won't need it in this life. On the other piece of paper, there is a diagram of the magic array, with my annotations on it, as long as the layout of the city does not change much, it can be completed by adding some details according to the map. ”

Reading this, Su Xiao hurriedly flipped the second piece of letter paper to his eyes, and there was indeed a rare square magic array drawn on it, countless lines seemed to be messy, but in fact, they were orderly and interlocking, all the dots, lines, squares, and circles complemented each other layer upon layer, even if Su Xiao couldn't understand it, at least he could see how complicated this magic array was.

After exclaiming, Su Xiao continued to read the letter: "This place runs through the water veins, it is the best place to lay out the water system magic array, the array eye is the fountain in the center of the city, and the array is this castle, if necessary, you can open a large array in the castle, pierce the water veins of the array eye, and use the water system element to condense the magic barrier, which will definitely ensure the safety of Peacock City for a while." ”

"A fountain in the center of the city?" Chen Yaxuan asked suspiciously: "Is it a statue of a saint?" ”

"Nine times out of ten!" Su Xiao nodded affirmatively, "I looked at the map last time when the beast tide was formulating tactics, and the Holy Maiden Square should be the center of Peacock City, and the fountain is probably the pool under the Holy Maiden statue." No wonder there is no river or lake around, and the bottle in the saint's hand can still keep flowing water, it turns out to be on the water vein. ”

Chen Yaxuan asked hesitantly, "You say...... Will piercing the veins of water from the eye of the array destroy the statue of the Holy Maiden? ”

Su Xiao really hadn't thought about this question, and when he heard Chen Yaxuan ask this, he realized the problem of religious belief: The statue of the Holy Maiden is the belief of the Bright God Sect, if it is to be destroyed, will the old man Langdon be willing to do it?

Su Xiao shook his head helplessly and said: "We just have to do what we have to do, and we don't count other things, but with what I know about Langdon, as long as he can protect Peacock City, let alone the statue of the Holy Maiden, he can even get in it himself." ”

"Hmm......" Chen Yaxuan nodded in disappointment, she was deeply shocked by the beauty of the statue when she first saw it, no matter what the purpose, it was not her intention to destroy art. However, since this magic array exists, it must play an important role in the game, and Chen Yaxuan can only sort out her mood and pretend not to care and ask, "Then what?" What else is written in the letter? ”

Su Xiao knew that Chen Yaxuan was kind, so kind that she couldn't bear to destroy even a stone statue. He didn't know how to comfort the gentle girl, and listened to her take the initiative to skip the topic, so he continued to read the letter.

"If you're the first to open the box, you've probably seen the parchment next to the envelope, it's a treasure map, but it's a treasure map that doesn't necessarily contain treasures. I willingly become the cornerstone of this castle, but my beloved hammer should not sleep with me in the ground. Before repairing this basement, I asked my retinue to bury it in a place, but I don't know much about the nature of that retinue, and if he takes the hammer for himself after my death, I will have to aggrieve you for nothing. ”

Hearing that this parchment was a treasure map, Chen Yaxuan curiously unfolded it and looked at it, but no matter how much she looked up, down, left, or right, it turned out that every girl was not simple...... Ahem, she couldn't even see any clues.

"Oh~!" But listening to Su Xiao's "oh" a thousand times, he suddenly sighed like a big realization: "There is a usage of writing a treasure map on the letter, as long as the treasure map is turned face up and bathed in the sun, it will guide us to the location of the treasure map!" ”

"But...... What is the use of a hammer? Chen Yaxuan looked Su Xiao up and down, "Do you want to change careers to become a civil engineer?" ”

"Don't, I'm not enough of the brave!" Su Xiao analyzed with a smile: "The hammer should be a warrior's weapon, but Ivan said that he is a magician, maybe a staff or scepter that looks like a hammer?" Whatever, anyway, let's just go and see, it's not sure if we can dig it up. ”

Chen Yaxuan nodded, "What else is written in the letter?" ”

Su Xiao turned the letter to the back and looked at it, and then said with certainty: "There is wood, there are only two kind words left to wish us good luck." He didn't complain about his death, and he probably died happily. ”

"And what are you going to do with all this stuff?" Chen Yaxuan frowned and asked, "Will you hand it over to the city lord?" ”

"Give it to the city lord......" Su Xiao's eyes rolled ill-willedly, and then with a wicked smile, he folded the letter paper upwards along the content related to the treasure map, and then used the nails of his thumb and index finger to crush the creases to death, and then took out the dagger and cut it along the crease, and cut the letter paper in half with a brush, and threw the small half sheet that recorded the use of the treasure map into the fire and destroyed the corpse, Su Xiao asked proudly: "Look at our method!" What do you think? Convincing or not? ”

Chen Yaxuan took the letter paper in her hand, nodded while looking at it, and said in her heart that the papermaking process hundreds of years ago was rough, and it was impossible to make such fine pulp in the real world, and the creases happened to follow the direction of the fiber, so the section cut out of the dagger was neat, and there was no trace of fraud. However, the section can't be seen, it doesn't mean that nothing can be seen, Chen Yaxuan pointed to the edge of the letter paper and said: "The yellowing of the paper is from the outside to the inside, you take a good look at the letter you have cut, it is obviously yellowed on three sides and white on one side, the fool can't see that this is cut by you?" ”

Su Xiao scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Oh, it's so embarrassing......"

Chen Yaxuan shrugged her nose proudly, then put the letter paper in her hand on the fire and roasted it, burned two lines of words along the cutting line, and quickly blew out the sparks on the paper, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, when I go back, I will say that we accidentally burned it!" Anyway, there are remarks and drawings, as long as the city lord knows about the magic array, right? ”

"Oh my God!" Su Xiao covered her mouth in surprise like Xiao Yueyue, and praised excitedly: "Xuanxuan, you are really ...... Is...... It's so cunning! ”

"Phew!" Chen Yaxuan smiled and pinched the soft flesh on Su Xiao's waist, "You are cunning!" Your whole family is cunning! (To be continued.) )
