Chapter 35 Step by step
At night, everything went on in an orderly manner, and everyone was neatly dressed in night clothes and masks, and quietly turned out of the window.
Leo and Omoni glanced at each other and slipped out of the courtyard first.
In the corner where everyone couldn't see, all kinds of monitors moved, and a few alchemy birds in the sky were just basic, and the plants and street lamps along the way were all silently watching the two.
Leo felt uncomfortable all the way with the pressure sense, and immediately understood that the two were under surveillance, and sure enough, as Esenas said, the security level of Artisan Town had been improved, and he didn't feel like this when he and Isenas came yesterday.
Leo took Omoni with him, and he didn't deliberately hide, and came all the way to the vicinity of the Alchemy Tower.
Leo nodded at Omoni. Omoni immediately waved his hand to create a pitch-black shield to envelop the two of them.
"Is the spatial coordinates okay?Old Mo?" Leo put his hand on Omoni's shoulder, and his body lit up with a milky white light.
"No problem, although I can't move spatially, I can still do it by assisting others in spatial positioning. Omoni nodded, and plunged his wand into the void, the tip of which immediately lit up with a blue-black glow. "Just put your other hand on it and use the space to teleport. ”
There was a soft "buzz", and Leo and Omoni immediately appeared in front of their eyes in the courtyard.
"Has their attention been grabbed?" said Esenas as his eyes lit up when he saw Leo and the others return.
"I'm sure the whole town's eyes are there, and I feel a chill down my whole back when I stay there..."
Everything went as smoothly as Isenus had planned, Leo and Omoni went to the vicinity of the Alchemy Tower, and then Leo used spatial movement to bring Omoni back, successfully misleading the attention of the Council of Five to the vicinity of the Tower.
Unfortunately, Isenas missed Leo's exposure of this ability in Craftsman, so the plan was not seamless. Fortunately, Hoggs did not reveal this ability to the Council of Five.
"Let's go, we'll head to the docks at once, time is running out, I don't know how long this will confuse them. ”
The adventuring group hurried towards the outskirts of Artisan Town again, and the patrols they encountered along the way were worse than last night.
Coming to the shore without danger, Leo and Paul Jr. began to stare at Omoni again.
Omoni said helplessly: "I can't get through this water if you look at me like this, even if I have the construction blueprints, there are no suitable materials here." ”
The two living treasures, one large and one small, were dumbfounded, and only Ente looked at Esenus calmly.
"Is there anything you can do?"
Isenus didn't answer, and stood silently on the water before he said, "Come on, my Sanctuary ability has improved recently, and I can barely carry everyone over." ”
"Why do I seem to be useless compared to you?" Leo chattered as he stood beside Isenus and curiously tested the boundaries of the water pedal.
The Fangyuan Lake at night was extremely calm, and the group soon returned to Qinghu Town.
Leo jumped down first, moving his sore legs. Just now, everyone stuck together motionlessly, and after a long time, it was indeed a little numb.
Isenus took out a map with a pale face and was about to explain it, but Leo noticed his anomaly.
"Are you alright, Isenus?" Leo frowned and helped Isenus.
"The consumption of Sanctuary ability is much larger than I expected, so it's not a big problem. Esenus shook her head.
"This is a map of the town of Qinghu. Isenus spread the map on the ground. "Compared with the square planning of Artisan Town, Qinghu Town is more oriented to the southwest development. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that, but you look here, by the lake in the northeast corner, there is the only trading house established by the artisan town. ”
Leo looked at this place and said slowly, "You mean, this is the place where the secret is buried?"
"Possibly. Isenas put away the map. "This is the only vestige left on the surface of Artisan Town, and we're going to take a look anyway. ”
"What if not?" asked Leo.
"Then it is necessary to trace the history of the construction of Qinghu Town, and the older the place, the more likely it is to be related to this secret. ”
Thinking of the chaotic buildings in the center of Qinghu Town, Leo felt his head as big as a bucket, and said, "If that's the case, then you can't finish searching this night, right?"
"That's for sure, if we can't find any clues in this firm, we'll have to go back as soon as possible to avoid suspicion from the five-member council. ”
Fortunately, Qinghu Town did not have as many surveillance as Artisan Town, and there were only a few drunks wandering the streets on the road, and everyone easily avoided these drunks.
Looking at the tall walls of the comptoir, Leo scratched his head and said, "Do you still go in the same way, Isenus?
Isenus didn't speak, just pressed his hand to the wall, creating a vacant doorway.
"The consumption is a bit too much, and if there is an unexpected situation later, the battle will be left to you and Ente. ”
"It's on both of us. Leo hammered himself in the chest and assured.
Ente agreed, but judging by his expression, he seemed to be very interested in the use of Isennas's abilities.
After a walk around the trading house, everyone returned here.
Leo frowned and said, "Everything looks normal here, and there are no hidden compartments in the structure of the house, we found the wrong one?"
Isenus closed his eyes, silently recalled the terrain in the trading house, and suddenly pointed to the soles of his feet: "Here, this terrain is completely unnecessary for merchants, neither scenery, nor receiving guests, nor for stacking goods, and the surrounding fence is abruptly detoured because of this land. Look under this ground, there must be some mechanism. ”
The crowd rummaged around the small open space.
After a while, Nana beckoned everyone, pointed to a piece of ground at her feet, and said, "Here, I feel that the sound of landing here is different from other places." ”
Leo stepped on the ground, but he didn't notice anything different.
Isenas glanced at Leo: "With your third-level disability hearing, can you compare to Nana?" ”
The two nodded, and Omoni spread out again in a circle of transparent ripples, and the world around him seemed to slow down, and Ente had a golden light on his hand, and smashed his fist hard at the place where Nana was pointing.
A large cloud of dust suddenly rose on the ground, and the sound of metal twisting reached everyone's ears.
Little Paul looked at the slanting hole in the ground, and knocked on the ground under his feet in surprise: "It's really different, if it weren't for Nana, we would have to find when to go." ”
Nana smiled shyly.
Omoni drew his wand, the tip of which lit up a little, and then walked towards the hollow, and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll get out of the way, you protect Nana, she's the treasure of our group." ”
The passage was filled with the smell of earth and old paint, and Omoni had to cast a breathing spell for the crowd again.
The passage was only about a hundred meters and soon came to an end.
Esenus frowned at the array of treasures, countless metal vessels, gems, gold coins, and rare toys.
Leo chose an aqua-blue gem from these treasures, put it on Nana's neck, stood a little further away, looked at it, and said, "It looks good, Nana, and it matches your eyes very well." ”
Ignoring Leo and Paul Jr.'s rummaging through the treasure piles—though they were completely contrary to what he had been taught—Ente asked Isenas, who was frowning and pondering, "Could we be mistaken, this is really just a place for them to hide their treasure?"
Isenus shook his head decisively and said, "This must be the place where the secret is, because there is no need to build a treasure trove here in such a way that it will not be re-entered. We must have missed some conditions to get into. ”
Even Omoni joins the treasure hunt, and he seems to have discovered some magical ingredients.
Seeing that everyone seemed to have started a strange carnival, Esenas simply sat on the ground with his legs crossed and sorted out the operation.
After half a ring, Isenus muttered to himself, "What if information is also blocked here, then as long as I connect with Hoggs's information again in my mind..."
Thinking of this, Esenus closed his eyes and recalled the feeling of touching the light cocoon outside Hoggs, and for a moment, the disturbing information poured into his mind again. When he opened his eyes again, the vault was empty, Leo and the others were just holding up a cloud of air, and the only thing they could see was a glittering green orb on the ground.
Isenus stepped forward and picked up the orb, and the sight in front of Leo and the others disappeared immediately, leaving only the earth-colored walls and another hole that appeared in the rumble.
Leo was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that it was just a fantasy, coughed awkwardly, and said, "Oh, have you found the entrance, so what are we waiting for? ”
Omoni coughed softly, too, and followed Leo into the hole.
Esenus was speechless and shouted from behind, "When I just opened the entrance to this place with the Hoggs message, I was already discovered by Asterd, we better hurry." ”
This time the passage was extraordinarily long, and they seemed to have made several circles in it before reaching the exit.
However, the sight of the exit made them stunned again.
Leo looked at the treasure trove of déjà vu around him, and said hesitantly, "We, have come back again?"
"Just go out and see. ”
Isenus led the way to another passage, and the smell of clean air in the passage relieved Leo to be sure that this was not the way they had entered.
However, the sight of the exit made Leo stunned.
The exit was clean, with no walls or buildings, just a gravel field by the lake.
It was as if it was still, no, it was. The leaves stopped halfway through, and the splashes in the lake stopped in the air.
Fangyuan Lake also took on the form of a round lake at this time.
In the distance, Craftsman Town can still see billowing smoke floating above it.
Above the round lake, seven demon dragons of different forms are standing still in the air.
In a still world, only in the center of the lake, a black scabbard fell together, emitting a circle of mysterious ripples.
