"What to do? Hehe. Hearing Moriarty's words, the eagle-fleshed old woman just sneered a few times, and continued to fly into the ancient hall.

"What to do, just trap them."

"Anyway, there are more than these bull heads that have been trapped and killed recently, hehe, they are all broad guys with goods, but we have picked up a lot of cheap."

Instead, the Harpy sisters smiled at each other and answered Moriarty's question. However, the answer was apparently vicious, and it seems that they had already made up their minds from the beginning to rob the minotaur with the birthday gift. As for what to do with the bitter lord after the robbery, it can be clearly seen from the cold smiles of the two harpys.

"Aren't you worried that the 'Labyrinth Keepers' know?" Sighing softly, Moriarty began to follow the two sisters into the hall as she continued to ask.

"Hehe, Lord Cleveland is so famous, we naturally don't dare to offend it in the slightest. It's just that none of these minotaur tribes who rushed to the 'Dark Neon' from other places have been squeezed out, or they are pitifully small tribes. The Maze Keepers won't remember these fringe elements, right? Sister Lina gave the human mage an interesting look, her face full of smug calculations.

"That's right."

Moriarty nodded in the same way. The superior will only remember the people or things that interest him or may threaten him, and as for the rest, no matter how badly his head is stammered, it is just a matter of course in the eyes of the superior, and he forgets about it in the blink of an eye.

Entering the ancient hall inside the mountain, a gloomy aura immediately enveloped him. It seems like all similar temples or palaces, as long as they were built old enough. will be infected with this kind of forest atmosphere. Although it is not a bad thing, ordinary people will inevitably feel depressed and uncomfortable when they live in it.

Moriarty carefully observed the structure and layout of the ancient hall, and although the interior decoration was long overdue and damaged in many places, the overall appearance was still impressive. In particular, the hall of nearly 100 meters into the temple is really excavated in the cliff rock, and it is conceivable that the huge amount of work of the year is still amazing.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge black stone statue, about five meters high. The shape is a beautiful but gloomy harpy witch. He wears a crown of spiked thorns and holds a bone staff. In addition to its large size, the details of the statue are all meticulous and lifelike. Moreover. The stone statue seems to be motionless. But from within, Moriarty felt a tremendous power that was hidden and immutable. If not mistaken. This is supposed to be a magic golem, and it is quite high-level.

"This is the statue of Lord Rohrelle. How, isn't it shocking? ”

Moriarty stopped in front of the stone statue and stared at it for a long time. Lina smiled, and her tone was full of pride and adoration. The only heroic figure of the Eagle Body Clan for 10,000 years, of course, is the supreme idol of all later Eagle Bodies.

"Quite extraordinary, indeed." Moriarty nodded, but refused to comment and continued on his way.

And behind the 100-meter hall, there is an upward road with a high slope. At the end of the road, there is a little light, and it seems that there is a different cave.

"Want to help?"

Most of the legal professions were weak, so the Eagle Sisters "considerately" asked if they needed lifting services. However, Moriarty didn't seem to have much contact with the two gorgeous sisters, shook his head and climbed up on his own. As for the human mage's disappreciation, Lina's eyes flashed gloom and irritation.

It took about ten minutes to finally climb the road to the top. Sure enough, beyond the road, I was already on the rooftop of another mountain. And seeing the human mage climb up by herself, the eagle-body old woman who had been waiting for a long time was also a little surprised.

"Okay, that's what I want you to help with."

After the other party took a breath, the eagle woman led Moriarty to the side of the rooftop. There, a bud-shaped altar carved entirely from crystal clear sapphires is emitting a hazy shimmer that looks delicate and eye-catching. At the inner core of the altar, a long black feather settled on the inside of the sapphire and froze, as if it was floating quietly in a blue water. And the faint black feathers and the brilliance of the sapphire contrast with each other, which is even more mysterious.

"This altar was left behind by Lord Rohrer Lei five hundred years ago. Your task is to open it and take out the feather. Pointing to the sapphire altar, the eagle-headed old woman said directly, "You have an hour." ”

"An hour?" Moriarty glanced at the other party and asked rhetorically.

"It's only an hour." The eagle-clad old woman nodded as a matter of course: "If you can't figure out a way within this time, even if you give more time, it's just a waste." After all, enchantment is often based on talent and inspiration. ”

"It's not for nothing that you say that." Ignoring the strict time limit given by the other party, Moriarty nodded. It seems that this Loris, in addition to being a harpy witch, is not ignorant of alchemy. As it says, many times cracking alchemy mechanisms and circles is like a math problem, relying on intuition and inspiration. Unless you already know the type of circle in the trap and try to crack it slowly with a stupid method, it will take luck and a flash of inspiration.

"Hehe, if you can't do it in an hour, you're useless. Then I can dig out your heart and taste it. Seeing the human mage's calm and abnormal appearance, and remembering the anger of being rejected just now, the Harpy Sisters began to threaten her.

"If you could be quieter, I'd be more sure." Looking at the two noisy sisters, Moriarty nodded. Anyway, even if the altar is opened and the feather is taken out, the other party will definitely kill people. So Lina's threatening words sounded like nonsense.

"You!"

Before the Harpy Sisters could say anything, they were stopped by Loris. Either way, it's important to open the altar right now. For other things, it's not too late to settle it in an hour. In this regard, the two sisters could only retreat indignantly.

The timer begins.

Moriarty first approached the sapphire altar to take a closer look. Sure enough, it's also a rare magical item. It looks like it's a whole piece of rare and huge sapphire carved seamlessly, but it's actually a combination of magical powers. However, in the end, it is the means of the hero, and with Moriarty's eyesight, he can't even see the traces and clues in it, which can be described as ingenious.

And on the center of the bud altar, there is a special setting like a puzzle, inlaid in it. However, the hundreds of small pieces of Mithril that could be moved were not painted with any color patterns, but rather intricate and strange texts. Luckily, Moriarty had learned the languages of various races, and recognized them as the unique ones of the Nigon eagle race.

Obviously, this is the combination lock of the Sapphire Altar. If you want to open the altar and get the Black Feather, you need to enter a specific phrase to unlock it. Otherwise, there is only one way left to brute.

"How many passwords have you tried?" Turning his head, Moriarty asked the eagle-headed old woman first.

"In five hundred years, we have tried every word we can think of." Loris said indifferently but helplessly.

"Yes."

Moriarty nodded, no more. Come to think of it, in the past few years, the other party must have tried a large number of passwords a long time ago, but unfortunately none of them succeeded. So you can cut off the possibility of accidentally entering the password, which is obviously too unrealistic.

After about half an hour of careful inspection, Moriarty suddenly drew a short sword and slashed straight at the altar, summoning magical arrows to attack it. However, whether it is physical or magical attacks, they are blocked by some kind of force before they touch the altar, and they can't hurt the sapphire buds at all.

However, at the same time as it was attacked, a thin line of crystal finally emerged from the inside of the altar. Although it quickly disappeared, it was clearly the internal magic-driven route structure.

"Hehe, I said you don't waste your time. If we could break it, we would have done it a long time ago, do we still need to recruit you? Seeing that Moriarty's attack on the altar was unsuccessful, the Harpy sisters, who had been waiting on the side, finally couldn't help but sneer again.

"If you really want to open the altar with external force, you need at least extreme power, but it is also very likely to destroy the contents inside. So we don't take that approach. At this time, the eagle-armed old woman also spoke.

However, whether it was Loris or the two sisters, Moriarty did not hear it, but looked intently at the sapphire altar, while carefully remembering the position and arrangement of the silk threads that had just appeared in front of him.

"An anti-magic force field, a force field spell, nested with each other, the drive core is built-in, and the energy source is unknown."

After another quarter of an hour or so, Moriarty finally figured out some of the secrets and clues of the Sapphire Altar from the virtual hack in his mind.

As a hero's means, placing an anti-magic stance and a force field on a magic item at the same time is equivalent to restraining both physical and magical attacks, which is really flawless. If the power used by the cracker exceeds a certain limit, although it can break through the anti-magic and force field defense of the altar itself, it will also directly destroy the items in the altar, but the gains outweigh the losses.

"It seems that there is really only one way to open the altar by entering the password." After ten more minutes of contemplation, Moriarty finally shook his head helplessly.

"I'll warn you that you're running out of time."

Seeing that the human mage had not moved for a long time, Loris couldn't help but have a deep disappointment in her eyes, and at the same time, her color rose again. Hearing the words of the eagle-body old woman, the two sisters also sneered and ordered the eagle-body throwers around them to get ready. Even if the other party is a mid-level mage, but surrounded by so many warriors in close proximity, and there is a high-level witch named Loris on the side, he must have to sit and wait for death.

"I can find the password."

With one hand on the sapphire altar and looking at the eagle-like old woman, Moriarty suddenly smiled. (To be continued......)
