Chapter Seventy-Eight: It's Close
Chapter Seventy-Eight
Su Yuan and Monroe crossed the village, climbed over a hill, and came to the next hillside. Very low hillside, only a few tens of meters high. There are no plants on the hillside, only a few shrubs. However, as soon as Su Yuan's feet landed, he realized the problem.
"Interesting, looks like we're lucky."
"What? Do you see anything? I didn't see anything. Monroe looked around, but didn't see anything of note.
"Don't look around, feel our feet. I'm sure our feet ...... is empty. ”
Su Yuan said, his mind surging. The dirt surged beneath him, and he pulled out the shovel on his back and struck both ways. Seeing this, Monroe also began to help.
The two of them dug about five or six meters deep and finally hollowed out the surface. Monroe almost fell directly into the underground pit, and Su Yuan dragged him up with his mental power.
Take out a flare and throw it in. At the same time, the surrounding air is activated and poured into it. It doesn't see the light of day all year round and needs to be replenished with some fresh air.
After about an hour or so, Su Yuan felt that it was almost over, and the whole person jumped down directly. The body did not directly touch the ground, but slowly floated in mid-air. Although in the original book, there is no mechanism in it, but this is not a TV. It's better to be careful.
After carefully sweeping the surrounding ground and walls with his telekinesis to ensure that there was no danger, Su Yuan finally landed on the ground. At the same time, call Monroe down with him.
"It's almost six meters deep above the ground. How do you feel like there's nothing down there? "Monroe is a little incomprehensible to Su Yuan's feeling of being empty below.
"I'm a wizard, so I've got to know something that most people wouldn't do, you say."
"Okay, so where exactly are we now?" Monroe said, looking around.
In the glow of the lighting rods, you can see a large number of murals on the surrounding walls. It's a similar religious story, a story of humans and Visen fighting a demon. Further on, the walls on both sides are densely packed with skulls. It seems that European tomb churches and the like like like to use this decorative style, and Su Yuan doesn't know what to pay attention to.
"It's a church. It's just a church buried in the ground. They built the church underground. But in order to prevent the surrounding forest from destroying it, a thick layer of soil was laid on top of it. And only then did the hillside we see was formed. Trust me, this is the place we are looking for. ”
The church is not big, and the two walked for about two minutes before they came to the end. For the ancients, it was already remarkable to build a building of this level underground. What's more, the surroundings are still Hessian, and the material transportation is done under extremely difficult circumstances.
At the end of the road is a wall. It is also a dense accumulation of countless skulls. Other than that, nothing.
"So, where is the treasure we want? There is nothing here. Monroe said as he stepped forward and tried to move the skeletons. But soon gave up.
"These skeletons are dead and inactive. If there is a mechanism, it may be somewhere else. ”
"You don't need to look for a mechanism. Look at these murals, they are very crudely depicted. The floor tiles, the walls, the construction is very rough. This shows that the time was actually very tight at that time. How many delicate tricks they could make in that emergency. It's a scavenger hunt. But I'm not an Indian Arjon. We don't need those complicated tricks to open the mechanism. We just need to ......"
"Smack...... it's the sound of a skull shattering. Then there is the next one. Su Yuan directly used his telekinesis to break the skulls on the wall in front of him one by one. And when the destruction reached about the sixtieth and thirtieth, Su Yuan obviously felt that there was a problem.
"This is it." His voice had just fallen. When the skull shattered, it was as if it had touched some mechanism. The skeletons around it fell off at the same time in the next second, revealing a crater in the back. In the pit, there is a box about 40 centimeters long, 30 wide, and 25 high.
"Look, the secret is right in front of our eyes." Monroe hurriedly stepped forward and took the box out.
"It's heavy, it's made of metal. But I can't tell what kind of metal it is. Monroe struggled to put things down and said.
"It doesn't matter, it's important that you should leave these locks open now. I reminded you, you should be ready. ”
"Of course. I'm just waiting for this moment. I've studied the construction of those keys. It's very special, it belongs to some kind of unique special-shaped lock. But it's not that complicated. ”
Monroe said, pulling out a large handful of master keys from his body. Then start trying one by one. Whenever he successfully plucked the circlip, Su Yuan used his mental power to maintain the original state. Then he went to drive the next one. After tossing and turning for more than an hour, all seven keyholes were finally opened.
Su Yuan could hear a clear sound of machinery running. He felt that the seven circlips under his control had all contracted automatically, indicating that the mechanical mechanism of the box had been completely opened.
"That's it, haha. Eight hundred years of buried secrets, let me see what you are? Monroe was already excitedly throwing away the master key as he tried to open the box. However, an embarrassing scene appeared. No matter how hard he tried, the box didn't move.
"Damn, this thing might be rusty. After all, it's been 800 years, and it looks like I'm going to have to use some brutal means. As he spoke, he took out a hammer and prepared to get started.
"Well, it's not a rust problem. Didn't you notice that there was not the slightest trace of rust in this box? This may be made of some kind of special metal that does not rust at all. The reason why we can't open it is probably because we are not Green. ”
"What's the matter with this Grimm."
"Of course it does. The Seven Great Grimm Families teamed up to bury this thing. But as far as I know, in some of the surviving records, there are words that resemble seals. This box is probably not a simple mechanical blockade. It may take a Grimm bloodline to be able to open it. Looks like we need to go back to really solve this mystery. ”
