ps: Modify the wording. Seeing the holographic text floating in mid-air, Claudia.

Auditore's eyes widened, so to speak: "It feels like a return to reality. ”

"If you don't consider the cost and promotion, I'm afraid the high-level in the magic world will be more comfortable!"

Noodles couldn't help but complain at this time.

Compared to her companions who were joking, Rielly could already be said to be bubbling with urgency at this time: "Now is not the time to discuss this. Let's think about how to open the entrance to the ruins! After a long time, maybe the guy in the ruins before will find our traces. ”

"This is the hallmark of the project plan of the old empire!"

Barrett pressed his hand to his lower lip and immediately ran out of the house.

Touching the remnants of masonry protruding from the rock face of the hill, Barrett took a large number of cavern-like buildings as a whole.

Barrett, who touched his chin and thought for a while, finally returned to his companion in the house.

Rielly, who had been waiting impatiently, couldn't help but ask when she saw Barrett reappearing, "How do you get the way?" ”

"Judging from the situation outside, this house may have been one of the covers for the original underground research site. The building outside collapsed because it could not stand the test of time before it was completely exposed. ”

Speaking of this, Barrett pointed to the demon statue on the wall: "Statues like this are often placed on the wall to mark doorknobs and the like. If you know the technique, the statue can have the effect of triggering the opening of the passage or some information about the inscription of the problem......"

"That's it! All right! I know Barrett, you're a Ph.D. ”

Rielly interrupted Barrett's statement, "So can you stop working on the way to trigger this statue?" ”

"Every relic doorknob opens differently. From what I know. When high-level mages come across something like this kind of permission to open while exploring the ruins, they will use specific magic, such as a permission spell that has been handed down from the imperial period, or spend time directly resolving a permission spell. ”

Barrett looked at Rielly and threw the puzzle back into the mage's hands.

Hearing this, Rielly was dumbfounded, and then Claudia on the side.

Auditore reached out and patted her on the shoulder, "It seems that our mage has not learned any magic that is useful other than exploring ancient and dangerous ruins. At the same time, I don't have the ability to quickly parse out the permissions of those peers! ”

"So what. The kind of spell you talked about before wouldn't work even if I wanted to! Not to mention the kind of temporary analysis ability in the back, which is impossible without a level of more than 6 changes. ”

Rielly said as she knocked Claudia down.

Auditore's palm resting on his shoulder.

"Different institutes have different preset unlocking methods. They are also often related to the research topic in the institute. At the same time, the sculpture in front of me was not chosen randomly. ”

As he spoke, Barrett looked closer to the statue.

"I can roughly tell that the research topics here are more or less related to summoning and controlling otherworldly creatures. The prototype of this thing in front of me is supposed to be the devil type, but there are so many types of devils that I'm not sure which one this sculpture refers to. ”

"Could it be that if you find the prototype of this devil, you can determine the method?"

Claudia on the side.

Auditore apparently didn't quite believe Barrett's claim.

In Claudia.

Auditore's gaze was watching.

Barrett scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I can't guarantee this. Maybe you'll be able to get a revelation and turn on the fireplace in the back. ”

"Barrett, do you mean the passage is inside the fireplace?"

Laru turned her head in confusion.

The fireplace that came into view of him was quite dilapidated, and it was covered in all kinds of charred marks.

Barrett looked at the cat boy in disbelief: "Although it is so damaged that you can't tell how this fireplace was designed in the first place, but you won't fail to see that this fireplace is probably the entrance to the ruins!" ”

"Did you all find meow?"

Lalu tilted her head and looked around at her companions.

Clematis.

Bot nodded, "Of course!" Such an obvious setting is so likely to be ignored in the past. ”

"I used Scout magic when I entered the house, and the devil statue and the broken fireplace it was facing flashed brightly."

Rielly touched the cat's head embarrassedly, "I was so excited just now that the player said it." ”

"Anyway, let's determine the type of devil first! Now that you're here, you can't just go back without doing anything. I can't give up even the slightest hope. ”

Claudia who said this.

Auditore immediately began the identification of dimensional knowledge.

Followed by Rielie and Claymatis.

Bot joined the bandwagon.

All three ladies in the team were stunned for a moment, and it felt like they had been played.

Soon Claudia.

Auditore cried and mourned: "Damn, the knowledge appraisal failed. All I know for sure is that it's a completely isolated clan of the devil. I really didn't expect this puzzle game to be so difficult. ”

"Of course! The difficulty of solving the puzzle increases as the difficulty of determining the knowledge increases. ”

Restore fù normal Clematis.

Bot also sighed at this time: "It's not just you. I also failed. Fortunately, I have received more information than you, and the system prompts that the power of this devil will be relatively average. ”

"Doesn't that look like a three-game losing streak."

Rielly shook her head, "I've only gotten a little more information about the system than you do. The system hints that because of the weird hobby of those research mages, this kind of devil is probably either good at magical power or psychic power. ”

"Alright! What seems feasible by now should all be blocked. It seems that the only way to do it is to brute force. ”

Speaking of which, Barrett unloaded the large Mo knife on his back.

"Fortunately, in the giant mountain break series of Stone Dragon Flow, it can be said that it is perfect for dealing with this kind of rock. Although everyone said that kicking the door was too untechnical. But sometimes it's the most straightforward solution. ”

Taking a deep breath, Barrett raised his blade and was about to unload the fireplace in front of him.

But before the big knife in his hand fell.

That arm has been taken by Rielly and Claudia.

Auditore and the two stopped them.

Barrett, who stopped his strength, stared at the two people in front of him and asked, "What are you guys doing?" ”

"Barrett, you must have been a show in your head just now! How could you do such an impulsive thing? ”

Claudia who finished stopping Barrett.

Auditore said angrily.

"That's it! It is! Who knows if there are any special protection mechanisms under the entrance to this ruin. If you use brute force attacks. Maybe the whole passage will collapse because of this. It was too late for us to find a way to open it."

Rielly, who was helping on the side, was staring at Barrett with wide eyes on her face, as if Barrett owed her money.

In the face of this attitude of the two.

Barrett shook his head with a wry smile: "So have you two found a solution to the problem?" If not, why can't you give it a try! Maybe the protection mechanism here has been worn off by time. Didn't we earn it in that case? ”

I don't know if it's because Barrett's original knowledge has stimulated his self-esteem as a mage since entering the ruins, Rielly immediately roared at Barrett: "Who said there is no way, isn't it the devil statue?" It won't be long before I pay tribute directly with blood. ”

After saying this, the mage ran to the statue on the wall without looking back.

Then he took out the dagger, which was known as the last dignity of the mage, from his waist and directly slashed his palm.

Smear the blood on the devil statue.

Rielly's decisive action made Barrett 'Don't be so impulsive!'

It's too late to speak.

I could only watch as the other party completed this amazing adventure.

Stepping forward, Barrett, who had removed Rielly's palm from the devil's statue, yelled at the mage, "Are you an idiot? What age are you still playing this kind of stalk of dripping blood to recognize the Lord? If I can really open the ruin passage, I'll ......"

But at this moment, the blood words projected in front of the statuette disappeared in an instant.

Then it fell off the wall like this.

Fell to the ground with a thud.

There is a 'click' sound behind the players, and a dark entrance appears in front of the fireplace, with a bottomless staircase inside.

Holding the palm of the bleeding hand, Rielly, who rarely grabbed Barrett's horse's foot, seemed to forget the pain in her hand, stared at Barrett with a mocking gaze and said, "Barrett, you just said, if you can open the ruins, what are you going to do?" ”

"I'll go! Such an old-fashioned plot? Could it be that game planners are eating? ”

Barrett's eyes widened as he stared at the entrance to the passage that had suddenly appeared.

"Barrett, don't change the subject, we're all waiting for your next promise!"

Claudia who said this.

Auditore pulled a bandage from his medical bag around his waist and expertly bandaged Rielly's injured hand.

"I'll ......, I'll "

Barrett, who stammered a few times, finally found a suitable solution: "How about finding a way to get the right organizational information for the mage." ”

"You've passed!"

Rielly seemed very satisfied.

It seems that her purpose seems to be to see Barrett deflated.

And not the promise behind it!

Claudia who didn't wash good.

Auditore pouted: "It's really easy to let someone pass." It's boring. ”

"Who is still in a hurry to enter the ruins, how can I have spare time to meddle now."

Barrett said and glared at the lady in front of him.

Claudia.

Auditore laughed very unscrupulously: "It seems to me that I can see Barrett's expression just now. This trip is worth the fare. As for the rest, it's just an addition. ”

"Should I thank you for not deliberately making that exaggerated three-part laugh?"

Once again, Barrett experienced the bad taste of some empty lady.

"I'm generally not going to walk out of that kind of way like some idiots."

Claudia.

Auditore smiled like a fox: "Of course if you beg me. It's not like I can't afford to play a three-part format. ”

"Forget it! I think we'd better hurry into the aisle. ”

Barrett immediately shook his head and rejected Claudia.

Auditore's tiyì.

Because his keen sixth sense is telling himself, the eldest lady in front of him must not have any good intentions.

"Bang Dang"

There was another soft sound, which immediately attracted the attention of the players present.

I saw Riel Lige moving her uninjured hand while looking at the devil statue that had reappeared on the ground in front of her.

Squatting, she smiled awkwardly at her companions: "This statue seems to be unexpectedly heavy!" ”

"Really! Words as a mage. Don't show your muscles in front of people. ”

Teasing the noodles, he stepped forward, holding the figurine in both hands, ready to lift it up.

Then came the "Bang Dang"

Bang.

A halfling wanderer who uses too much force.

If it weren't for his agile skills, he would have fallen on his back to the sky.

And the small devil statue hit the wall directly.

Wiped off a lot of black ash on the surface.

The noodles that turned around and roared at Rielly, "It's all this time, Rielly, you guy don't need to play me like this anymore!" ”

At this time, the mage looked at the frantic halfling wanderer with a blank face, and the appearance was like a shadow queen.

None of you here could see the slightest flaw.

"Damn! Noodles, you wait a minute. Miss Kent prepares to protect against evil spells. ”

Barrett, who said this, stared at the devil statue that fell in the corner with a very wary gaze, "It seems that this devil statue is not just as simple as opening a passage!" Rielie, now try to see if you can get up on your own. ”

"Stand up on your own."

As she said this, Rielly immediately prepared to stretch her knees.

But he can get up.

She felt the muscles in her legs go sore for a while, and then "Bang! ”

fell to the ground with a thud.

Only then did she realize that there seemed to be a strange sense of detachment entangled in her.

Barrett then carefully removed the devil's statue in the corner, but he himself didn't seem to be affected: "From my experience, that's how you feel. Ten have* is the result of some kind of curse or drawing power. It's just that I can't be sure how long this state of feeling will last, or how to get rid of it. Because we don't know if a general curse removal spell or restoration spell can solve the problem at hand. ”

"What bad luck! It was only with great difficulty that the passage was opened, but Lily was incapacitated. ”

Clematis.

Bot covered his face with his hands and said, "It seems that this journey is really full of disasters!" ”

Claudia.

Auditore sighed, "When did you get the illusion that our journey wasn't full of calamities?" If it had been all the best, we would have reached this site a month ago, so how could we have let those mages get ahead of us. ”

"Forget it! Stop paying attention to those things. Lalu hurriedly helped me up, and I thought that I should not have enough meat to move Cheng Dù. ”

Hearing this, Rielly immediately beckoned to the cat-man warrior monk.

With Lalu's help, Ellilie got back to her feet, and after walking two steps around the room, she frowned: "Although there is a feeling of weakness in the body, I think it shouldn't affect walking and casting spells. It's just that when I wait a minute, I'm afraid I won't be able to run or exert my strength. ”

"Lily, don't worry! We'll protect you. ”

Claudia who said this.

Auditore turned his head to look at Barrett.

"The captain must have confidence in this!"

"Even if you don't have faith, what can you do? It's a big deal that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! Affleck City, which has the power to lift Rielly's curse, is more than ten days away! ”

Barrett shrugged his shoulders at this point, "And it's all come to that." Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to go down! ”

"Now that you're all so clear, what are you waiting for? Let's go and see what is inside this ruin. ”

Clematis.

The excitement on Bote's face was by no means fake.

"The noodles and I lead the way."

As he said this, Barrett took out a torch from his backpack that was left over from the previous burning of the spider.

Then he led the noodles into the darkness first.

However, when players enter the dark staircase, they realize that their torches can only illuminate a small part of the space.

Their footsteps echoed through the staircase, 'Click!

Click!

The staircase seemed eerily quiet.

I can pass by the light of the torch.

Players will be able to see the polished and smooth walls on both sides of the staircase.

Although the walls are also marked with incantations, they do not have the fluorescent nature of magic, and it is difficult to understand the meaning of them.

The stairs under your feet are unexpectedly long, and players who walk through them are walking towards an infernal hell.

Spiraling underground.

Players walked for more than half an hour before they found their legs on the plane.

Barrett, who leads, relies on his dark vision.

Instinctively, I knew that this should be a dark room in front of me.

Raise the torch in your hand and let the light shine widely.

In the light, the players found that the room in front of them was small, and there were several corpses with only bones left.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, the torn mage robe on the corpse can still see clear ornaments and logos!"

As she spoke, Rielly stared intently at the corpse.

"This is a popular mage robe in the old empire, and the general signs on it range from researchers to apprentices! It always gives people the feeling that this research institute has been served by something. ”

"This is a costume from nearly a thousand years ago! It's still so ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, Noodle's fingers touched a robe on the corpse.

But with such a light touch from the halfling wanderer, the stagnant time on the robe seemed to be unlocked.

In just an instant, these fine-textured textiles hurried through thousands of years before turning into a thin layer of dust on corpses.

"Damn! What a disappointment! ”

The mutton was not eaten, and the noodle, who was in a fuss, waved the arm he stretched out earlier.

"Judging by the staircase they were all facing. The fact is that I am in a hurry to get out of this place! What was going on in this institute that made them feel so hurried. And he died here without even stepping the stairs. ”

At this point, Barrett bent down.

It seems to be about to check the bodies for any signs of injury.

Amazingly, however, these bodies did not appear to have died as if they had been killed by external injuries, at least the bones that had not been left by the blow.

Barrett, who stood up and shook his head, looked at his companions: "Let's just look around in this room and see if we can find any useful information." ”

There didn't seem to be much left in the room where everyone was, and the first search seemed to be fruitless.

However, Barrett soon noticed that the walls on both sides were also smashed with potholes in some places.

Barrett stepped forward and found a dusty-looking notepad under one wall.

It seems that for record-keeping purposes, there are some runes on this book that are visible to the naked eye.

But the runes were dim and dying.

I'm afraid that in a few years, players will not be able to see the contents of this notebook.

Holding the notebook in his hand, Barrett waved at Rieley: "I guess this is a book belonging to a senior research mage, and some of the content in it is really dizzying to watch." ”

"Let me take a look."

Rielly, who struggled to snatch the notepad from Barrett's hand, looked at it for a moment.

Then he could only shake his head: "The content of these studies written in Elven language is quite difficult to understand. Definitely not what I am expected to parse at this stage. However, there are some records written in the lingua franca of the imperial period. I think you should be able to decipher it. ”

After saying this, Rielie pointed to the beginning of a certain paragraph in the note, and Barrett, who took the note again, looked at it and scratched his head: "This part of the record seems to be a test day!" ”

"Hurry up!"

Rielly urged.

"Okay!"

Saying this, Barrett began to read: "Oh, no, the magic is above, this is not what we expected, the real yàn body '1793' is almost close to the success of '0741', but he is too irritable, its (not a clerical error) development direction is too force-oriented, but maybe '0741' can easily control him, I hope this real yàn can succeed......"

(To be continued)
