Chapter Seventy-Five: Separate Actions
Zhao Qiqi nodded, and she took the letter in my hand and Mary's notepad.
walked up to Zhang Qiang and handed him everything.
"If you pretend to be a retinue of the Count of Turso, take the handwritten letter of Baron Nadasdi and the diary written by Mary herself, and tell him what is happening in the castle, and let him return as soon as possible, I believe that there is an eighty-five percent chance that he will return to the castle at once." Zhao Qiqi squinted and thought.
"Eighty-five percent? Isn't it 100 percent? Zhang Qiang took the thing with a tangled expression, muttered a few words, and finally stomped his foot: "Alas, that's okay!" Get out! ”
"Stay safe, our team depends on you!" Situ Cao handed the small white box to Zhang Qiang and smiled.
Zhang Qiang took the box, smiled at Situ Cao, and then stood farther away.
Then he opened the box under the watchful eyes of everyone.
I saw him close his eyes and muttered according to the mantra Situ Cao said.
Suddenly, a dazzling white light came from the box.
We subconsciously blocked our eyes.
When the light faded and we looked again at where Zhang Qiang had been standing, it was empty.
Although I knew that this was something created by the "True Magic" platform, I was still shocked to see a person disappear in front of our eyes out of thin air.
"Okay, the time for this game is urgent, we have to act separately, and then Qiqi will assign their own tasks to everyone." I coughed lightly and shifted the attention of several people back to Zhao Qiqi.
When several people heard this, their expressions immediately became serious.
Everyone hurried to her side.
Zhao Qiqi took out the old roll of parchment given by the fox-faced old lady from his arms.
After opening it, she looked at us and said, "Time is short, so I'll make a long story short." ”
The old parchment marked six locations, and the fifth was the location of the palace where Countess Marie had met us when we first entered the castle.
"At the moment, it seems that the seal on the parchment that the old lady gave us must be real, and the parchment marks that in order to break the seal, all you need to do is drip the blood of a living person in each direction. So......" she pointed to the five spots, smiling rather than smiling.
"So, you want the five of us to break the seals on each of these five places?" I looked at her.
"That's right." Zhao Qiqi nodded.
"I'll be in charge of the point to the east!" Wang Yi glanced at the parchment with a solemn expression.
"Then I'll be in charge of the west." Situ Cao also spoke.
"I'm in charge of unsealing the southern point." After Zhao Qiqi finished speaking, he looked at Du Deming, who was speechless: "You are in charge of the north!" ”
Du Deming just nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
I smiled: "Then I'll be in charge of the unblocking of the middle point!" ”
As he spoke, he suddenly felt as if something was wrong.
"No, isn't there six positions in total? Why are we only responsible for unblocking five places now? I frowned, looked at Zhao Qiqi, and was a little puzzled.
Zhao Qiqi glanced at Du Deming with a vague look in his eyes, and then looked in my direction.
"Here's the problem, there are six seals written on the parchment, but in fact the fifth point and the sixth point on the map show the same location, in other words, it looks like there are only five. At present, we can only think about the last point after unblocking these five known points. She looked at me with a strange expression.
Although I nodded, my intuition told me that Zhao Qiqi was worried about something.
I don't have time to think so much at the moment.
After assigning the task, the group immediately prepared to go to their respective target directions.
Everyone left from the attic one by one, and Wang Yi turned sideways to make way for Situ Cao and Zhao Qiqi in front.
Just as he stepped back, his body inadvertently touched the bookcase behind him.
There was a soft snap, and a wooden box fell off the bookcase.
Wang Yi turned around, bent down and picked up the thing.
At this moment, the serious and cold mechanical voice of the "True Demon" suddenly sounded again.
"If the player successfully discovers the 'erosion' of otherworldly armor, will it be picked up as a private item?"
Seeing Wang Yi's expression a little strange, I glanced at him at the back: "What's wrong?" ”
The people in front also paused, and at the same time turned their heads to look at him.
Wang Yi was a little surprised, he told us what happened just now.
"Since you picked up something, it should be your possession." I smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
When everyone heard this, they all nodded.
Wang Yi shook his head: "Let's see what is in it first!" If something in it is better suited to someone else than me, then it's better to let someone else use it. ”
Seeing that he insisted on doing so, we only nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Wang Yi cautiously opened the box.
I leaned over curiously.
It is a copper slingshot with a simple shape, and the slingshot handle is engraved with many exquisite patterns, which looks very elegant.
There is also a small bag of projectiles in the box, and each projectile is also engraved with many lines.
A discerning person can tell at a glance that this must be a good thing.
"It's really providential, you're the only one in our team who is good at long-range attacks, and you shouldn't have redeemed long-range armor yet, right? This slingshot can be used as your armor. I smiled at him, turning to the others.
"Just take it! This is what you picked up. Zhao Qiqi also persuaded.
Situ Cao also nodded and smiled at him.
Wang Yi glanced at us and sighed: "Okay then." ”
He flicked the air at it, and the slingshot called Erosion was automatically added to the survival bracelet.
Then, everyone didn't delay any longer.
Several people took advantage of the middle of the night to go to the location that needed to be unsealed.
I soon made my way to the palace where I had first met Countess Mary.
There was no one in the palace, only a few candles flickering with a faint candle flame.
As I became more proficient with my sixth sense, I closed my eyes and tried to feel something strange in the silence of the room.
After a while, a cold breath came to the left front.
I opened my eyes and looked in that direction.
A bat-shaped candlestick hangs silently on the wall, about one and a half meters or so.
In the whole room, only it has no candles on it.
My gut told me that that was where the lockdown would be lifted.
Walk over to the candlestick.
Sure enough, I found a container in the shape of a blood droplet.
I took out the dagger in my right hand, stretched out my left hand, and cut it at my index finger without hesitation.
A few drops of blood fell into the drop-shaped container.
In an instant, the originally pitch-black candlestick glowed with a burst of red light.
"It worked!" I was a little excited and said to myself.
Raising his hand and looking at the time on the survival bracelet, there were still hours, forty-four minutes and thirty-three seconds.
