435.Chapter 435 Solomon's Afterhand?
Roddy's pretended to be sophisticated made Merlensella very unhappy, but she really had no reason to be angry - the aura that erupted in the seal was getting stronger and stronger, and if there was no solution, the fool knew what he would face next.
"See the relief over there?"
Roddy, who was full of seriousness, didn't have time to explain anything, he raised his hand and pointed into the distance, his eyes were fixed on Merinsera, and he shouted loudly under the overwhelming coercion: "The third piece in the middle, the one that looks empty!"
"What do you want to say?"
Melinthella's brows furrowed, but she didn't turn her head to look. She'd just seen it, so she didn't think it would be of any use to look at it a few more times.
"Since you're a magician, can you tell if the map, the city depicted on it, has anything to do with magic?"
"What?"
Merinthera was suddenly stopped by this whimsical question, but dragons are not stupid after all, she raised her eyebrows, suddenly thought of something, and then looked back sharply.
The relief is still the same relief, and the pattern depicted on the white marble is no different from what I saw earlier. But when Merinsela saw this, she immediately felt that something was wrong...
On all the previous reliefs, the depiction content basically filled the entire stone slab, but this relief only drew the outline of the city in the center, and the lines were delicately carved, and the "blank" area around the picture was full of sixty percent.
At first glance, Roddy only thinks that this is Solomon highlighting his achievements, but when he looks closely, he knows that there must be a mystery in this.
The reason why he focused here was entirely because of his previous experience in dungeons, because in "Ripper", no matter how difficult the dungeon is, how perverted the boss is, in the final analysis, it is still for players of limited levels to get through.
What if the quest boss is so strong that it is perverted? However, this kind of "assistance" does not mean that there is one, but it is up to the player to find and "activate" it on their own. Roddy was well versed in this, so he immediately took the most suspicious reliefs in the hall as the object of suspicion, and made a judgment.
Roddy didn't understand the exact workings of magic, which is why he made this request to Merinthra - and the Shadow Dragon was indeed an "expert", and when she had enough hints in her mind, she quickly recognized what was hidden beneath the repeated lines.
"This... Is it an overlapping circle?!"
Melinthera murmured, then opened her mouth slightly.
Even as a dragon, she has never seen such a big stroke in her life - usually the "magic circle" only covers an area of a few square meters to tens of square meters, and even if it is a magic circle used in the city, it is just a large magic circle connected one by one. But this one in front of you... The main body area of the circle alone is more than ten square kilometers!
In other words, the entire copy of "King Solomon's Treasure" is part of the circle.
In Merinthera's eyes, the outer walls, the inner walls, the magic towers, and even the inconspicuous floor tiles around the white palace were all part of the circle - and it wasn't just one, but two distinct layers. One of them is a typical "seal" type of magic array, from the layout to the structure of the magic pattern, Merinthera can clearly identify, and it is this activated formation that has sealed Beran Tulu for hundreds of years.
The overlapping and nesting of the other circle is quite mysterious, and Merin Sera can barely confirm from the trend of the formation chart that this is a formation that also has a "sealing" effect, and the area is larger and more powerful...
Thinking of the builder of this city, Merinthra's heart was filled with hope: "Solomon" is known as powerful in the records of the dragon family, as a mage who can make the proud dragon clan look sideways, how can he not have a counterattack when dealing with "Bolan Tulu"?
Thinking of this, all the clues seemed to be completely clear, and after the inferences surfaced in her mind, Merin Sera suddenly figured all this, and couldn't help but say: "Solomon has long realized that the seal will break, so he has prepared a more powerful sealing circle here..."
She stared at the relief closely, and the words in her mouth became more and more determined: "As long as this magic circle is activated, this guy can be sealed again!"
Luo Di was stunned when he heard this, but then remembered another question: it turns out that these three copies are related to each other, and only by launching them at the same time can they complete the legendary mission?
But before he could think more, Merinthra's cursing interrupted everything - "Damn! this circle needs energy to activate..."
"How do you start? What energy do you want?
Roddy didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly to the point.
The Shadow Dragon didn't care about the identity issue at this time, and directly pointed to a small groove on the ground in front of the seal and said: "The main energy of this magic circle is underground, but to activate the energy, you need to inlay a high-level magic crystal here, and open the three outer links at the same time..."
"What node?
"Just outside this palace, in the position of those three circles. ”
Roddy looked at it, and soon found three circular sigils outside the White Palace—apparently, if he wanted to open them, he would have to go out and run.
"But it's all snow monsters outside..."
"I know, but that's not the point, the point is that there are no high-level magic crystals right now! Can you conjure one for me?"
Melinthala's voice was furious: I finally saw hope, but I was desperate because of the lack of conditions, even the dragons couldn't calm down this kind of thing.
It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, Roddy reached out and took something out of his pocket...
"Then look - is this thing okay?"
In his hand, there is the "essence of the most effective water" that is always close to his body.
Merinthera's face changed several times, she didn't think that she would have something to do with this small mortal when she got out of danger several times, but it had come to this point, she finally sighed like fate, retreated in front of Roddy in a few steps, reached out and picked up the essence of water and looked at it: "The energy is enough..."
"But activating the circle is not that simple. Merinthera didn't have time to talk nonsense, and quickly said: "According to the circle on that map, I have to go out and open the three nodes, but if I want to get out, I have to close the barrier of the palace gate, so - you have to make sure that when I open all the nodes... The core of the circle is still stable. ”
Her voice lowered, "Can you do it?"
"The barrier must be closed?" Roddy raised an eyebrow, as it meant that the palace was unprotected and all the snow monsters could rush in without hindrance.
"This enchantment is part of the circle, and if you want to activate it, you have to close it... I don't know why Solomon did it, but it was constructed this way. ”
Although Roddy wondered Solomon's motives, he also knew that there was no need for Merinthera to panic, so he nodded in agreement without saying a word.
Merinthera immediately reached out and pulled him from the ground. The two people who were still fighting just now glanced at each other, and there was some inexplicable emotion in their hearts—and the Shadow Dragon who let go of Luo Di was even more indescribably depressed: if it wasn't for the loss of mana, where would she touch mortals?
"Click. ”
The rift in the seal deepened again, leaving Merinthera with no time to think about it. After Roddy had set the essence of water properly, she rushed to the palace gate in a few steps, took a deep breath, raised her hand to change the magic patterns on the stone pillars on both sides, closed the protective barrier at the gate, and activated the second large magic circle left by Solomon.
"Hum..."
The barrier in front of the palace gate disappeared in an instant, and blue magic patterns instantly appeared from the floor, spreading outward from the core of the "Water Essence" - at the same time, the roar of the snow monster outside the door roared like a tsunami!
"It's up to you, mortal. ”
Dropping these words, Melinthera raised her hand and blasted an approaching snow monster away, disappearing into the influx of snow monsters in the blink of an eye.
Roddy, on the other hand, stood alone not far from the seal, looking at the screaming enemies who rushed in, and slowly raised his short bow.
"Boom!"
At the same time, the explosion of fireballs resounded in the "Outer Wall" dungeon. In the smoke and dust, a group of soldiers rushed out of the smoke with disgraced faces, one by one embarrassed and disgraced.
"To the right, stop in front of the second pillar, then to the left!"
Sodrore's orders were followed by the soldiers, one by one. The stupid big Elson and his five companions followed closely in the middle of the group, and because he was tall, he looked back from time to time to see what was happening behind him - the chasing snow monsters either died from inexplicable fireball icicles or suddenly fell into a bottomless pit...
Erwin knew very well that this team had not suffered any casualties so far, thanks to Thorde Lorre's guidance: if he hadn't used these traps to delay the pace of those demonized snow monsters, I am afraid that the entire team would have saved five alive by now.
These traps appeared without warning, not only killing dozens of snow monsters, but Elwin also saw the corpses of many barbarians who had fled in fear before... Needless to say, these cowardly creatures did not have the ability to be "prophets of the unknown", and they all died in the trap.
However, the death of his fellow clan could not make Erwin have much emotional turmoil at this time, and after a long battle, he was not only physically tired, but also his brain became dull and dull - I don't know how many turns he turned, how many snow monsters he threw off, and when his vision began to blur, Erwin suddenly found that the soldiers in front of him had stopped.
He looked up and saw a huge gate suddenly appear in front of him, like a large mountain in front of everyone.
Sodrore looked up at the door with a pale face, and the desperation in his eyes was quickly replaced by a hint of rejection—in Roddy's plan, the closed gate meant the end of the outer city wall.
In other words, they have been forced into a dead end, and now the only way to do this is to turn back and fight.
