Section 16 The island

The light blue ball of light floated silently in midair, exuding bursts of spiritual pressure fluctuations. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info a wire that connects from below it all the way to the distance.

Chen Yin hadn't been very clear about why this thing had to be placed here...... And now he understands.

When Lancelot reactivates the mechanism, the fog rises, the gray water reappears, and the ground beneath his feet naturally rises again, turning into an "island", followed by a whirlwind of the sky.

When Chen Yin and the others stood up again in a daze, the 5-seater boat really reappeared, and there were still 5 oars on board.

Chen Yin jumped into the boat, picked up the oars and gently cocked them on the boat......

"Knock knock."

A dull thud followed, a bit like the sound of hollow wood being struck.

"What kind of material is this thing made of, you say? Why did it evaporate just now...... No, sublimation off? Chen Yin asked.

He hadn't paid attention to the material of this inexplicable boat before, until it disappeared in front of Chen Yin's eyes, and then he realized that this boat was not ordinary.

"Sublimation...... Aunt Ji Ya smiled, "this word is accurate. ”

During the conversation, everyone boarded the boat in turn, except Angel......

Chen Yin sat on the bow of the boat and found that Angel not only did not come up, but also stood on the spot with his hair on his back......

"Holy Maiden?"

"Oh." Angel answered, turned around slowly, and jumped into the boat.

As the smile in the center changed, the boat staggered away from the "island", and it seemed that everything was the same as the last time......

But if you look up a little and look at the hazy blue halo in the sky, you can see that there is a faint black line that is difficult to see beneath the halo and stretches into the distance.

This is how the witch solved this puzzle.

"Clever, isn't it?" Chen Yin saw Angel's thoughtful look on his face and said during the interval between rowing.

"Well, she's always been smart." It seemed that because of the relationship between thinking about the problem, Angel's expression was a little dumbfounded.

"Hehe......" Looking at her stupid cuteness, Chen Yin only thought it was funny.

"What's wrong?" Hearing the laughter, Angel came back to her senses.

"Nothing, what were you just thinking?" Chen Yin said with a smile, "The expression is so strange......"

“…… It's nothing, I'm just thinking, the average person probably doesn't carry around such a thing as a spiritual voltage converter, right? It has no special purpose other than providing energy...... And there are so many size 3 wires. ”

"Wire 3?" Chen Yin was stunned, the prefix No. 3 is not a small amount of information.

"Hmm...... You can understand it as a wire with an insulating sheath. Angel thought about it and said something that Chen Yin could understand.

"Don't you usually use wires with insulating sheaths!?" Now Chen Yin was even more surprised.

"Of course not!"

"They all have insulating sheaths, why are they called No. 3 wires?" Chen Yin asked.

Angel was stunned by Chen Yin's question, and then came back to her senses a little before she continued: "...... There is no need to contact the wires, and the energy tower network is responsible for providing the energy we need on a daily basis......"

"Portal network? Wireless power transmission technology? Chen Yin suddenly thought of the most cutting-edge power supply application technology on the earth.

"Hmm." Angel didn't say much about this question, just nodded lightly. Maybe this question is too sensitive for the Holy Light Church, so Chen Yin is not asking about it, so as to save embarrassment.

As the conversation between the two ended, the boat became quiet again, except for the sound of paddling, except for the sound of the waves.

They kept following the looming wire in the sky, but everyone had been rowing for nearly an hour, but there was still no wall in front of them!

What's going on?

The further he went, the more Chen Yin felt his hairs stand on end.

Chen Yin remembered very well that before they walked from the center of the room to the wall, it was only a few hundred meters away! No matter how slow the rowing is, in this environment without wind and waves, no matter how slow it is, how can you row in ten minutes!?

But now, more than an hour later, they still haven't seen the wall. If it weren't for the vague wire above his head that had been guiding them in the direction, Chen Yin really felt that he might not be able to persevere, and he might have changed direction a long time ago......

"Come on, it should be not far ahead......" Chen Yin encouraged everyone like this, but to be honest, even he himself was at a loss.

The crowd in the boat fell silent again.

An hour passed, and then another hour......

During this period, everyone even took turns to rest and eat something, and then continued to keep going.

More than 3 hours have passed since boarding the ship on the "island", and it is about to enter the fourth hour. The last time was after 4 hours of wandering, the tide receded and the fog dissipated, and Chen Yin and the others returned to the original point again.

And this time, just when Chen Yin thought that they were about to return to the original point, a huge black shadow suddenly approached in the mist!

"What's that!?" Because the fog was so thick, he couldn't see anything clearly from more than ten meters away, so when Chen Yin noticed the huge black shadow in front of him, it was too late, and the boat hit the huge black shadow like a sharp arrow off the string!

And then......

"Thorn ......"

There was a sound like wood rubbing against sand.

The boat carrying Chen Yin and the others rushed onto the beach - it turned out that the huge black shadow was actually a small island, an island in the real sense!

When Chen Yin found that his position was on the beach, he quickly looked up at the wire that had been hanging high above his head......

Sure enough, there was nothing overhead.

The waves gently crashed on the beach, making a "bang, bang", and the sound of the waves that Chen Yin and the others heard before obviously came from here.

"So...... Are we here? Chen Yin looked around in disbelief, and as the four-hour deadline was reached, the thick fog did not subside, but only became thinner, allowing Chen Yin to see the surrounding beach and the shadows of the trees not far ahead.

"It seems that the first puzzle is over." Angel replied.

"I didn't feel anything about that before I saw it, but now it seems that this witch is simply too smart." Chen Yin shook his head and jumped off the boat with a sigh on his face.

This time, although the four-hour deadline had passed, the boat had not disappeared and was quietly docked on the beach.

"I wasn't sure before, but now I'm sure." Angel suddenly took off her mask!

"You!?" Chen Yin was stunned, the fog around him hadn't cleared yet! Wouldn't it be a death to take it off now!?

"It's okay, I know where this is." Angel pointed to the dark shadow in front of him, "There should be a tower over there, let's go over." ”

"......" Chen Yin looked at Angel with a puzzled expression, but she didn't care what others thought, and took the lead and walked towards the depths of the island.

"Here, take a hand." Chen Yin called out to the captain of the paladin, and the uncle and aunt also stretched out their hands, and the four of them worked together to drag the boat up from the sea, saving it from being dragged away by the waves, and then chased after Angel's back.

"Hey!" Chen Yin shouted.

"What's the matter?" Angel walked hurriedly, seemingly full of preoccupations.

"You...... Any idea where this is? Chen Yin originally wanted to ask, "Are you familiar with this place?" But after all, he didn't ask, but changed to a more euphemistic question.

"I don't know, but I've seen something like that." didn't need Chen Yin to ask, Angel said Chen Yin's question by himself:

"Although His Majesty's documents on the excavation of gold relics have been destroyed in large quantities, after all, some of the relatively well-hidden materials have remained. Now I'm sure Christian must have gotten one of the better accounts. ”

"Well, just look at the preparation she has made...... Chen Yin echoed.

"The information I have in my hand is much worse, most of it is incomplete, and it is difficult to find a complete long description, but I still have an impression of this small island shrouded in fog, and there is such a fragment between two broken pages."

Angel said as she spoke, suddenly gasping for breath and not continuing the topic.

Although Chen Yin and the others were talking, this did not delay their progress.

However, as he went deeper and deeper into the island, the terrain under his feet gradually began to rise, and when Chen Yin felt more and more difficult, he realized that the beach under his feet had turned into a steep stone road.

"Huh? Is there a stone pavement here? Chen Yin's breathing was also a little short, and walking the mountain road was still very physically demanding, especially when he was moving forward at such a fast speed.

"It's a prehistoric civilization here, so isn't it strange that there is a stone road?" Aunt Ji Ya patted Chen Yin's shoulder, "Young people have to be calm." ”

“…… But ...... "Actually, what Chen Yin wants to say is, why is the style of the stone road here similar to that of the Mogot Imperial Capital?" Although they are all civilized and have the need to build roads, the specifications are almost the same, and the style is basically the same.

Standing on this stone road that straddles prehistoric and modern, Chen Yin hesitated for a moment and still did not raise this question after all.

Next, the crowd stopped talking and concentrated on climbing to the top of the mountain.

There are more and more trees around, and they look more and more hideous than the other, but on the whole, the appearance of these trees is still similar to Chen Yin's impression, and it is completely different from the species in the gray mist forest.

Looking at the surrounding green trees and grass, Chen Yin couldn't help but lift his mask a little and take a slow breath.

Suddenly, a fresh, moist smell with a slight musty smell came to my face.

Then Chen Yin immediately put the mask on again, he didn't like this moldy smell.

As they walked along, the trees on both sides of the road became denser and denser, and these strange forests were not a good place for them. Fortunately, there was this stone path under their feet, otherwise Chen Yin and the others would have to walk through this dense forest.

It seems that due to the altitude, the surrounding fog gradually becomes thinner as the altitude increases.

As the fog concentration decreases, the field of view naturally becomes more open. Looking back, you can even see a vast forest and a vague coastline.

In front of Chen Yin and the others, they could already vaguely see the top of this hill.

A tall tower sits in the middle of the town on the top of a hill.

"Come on, it's almost there, the tower there is our destination." Angel took a few deep breaths and picked up his pace again, while Chen Yin and the others also quickened up to follow.

As we get closer, more details on the tower slowly emerge.

The tower is not very tall, only about 10 stories high. This is nothing for Chen Yin, who is used to seeing high-rise buildings, and Lancelot is also used to seeing towering towers of knowledge, so they don't make a fuss.

However, the materials used in this tower caught Chen Yin's attention - from here, there were no gaps in the tower, and it looked as if it had been carved out of a huge stone!

And the material of the tower also made Chen Yin question the stone road under his feet, the stone bricks on the ground are made of the same stone as the tower, both have a dark gray color, and the material is also very delicate and uniform.

But whether it was just now or now, Chen Yin had never seen a similar stone on this island, not even a similar color. From both sides of the road next to the forest, the scattered small stones are brightly colored, colorless and mixed, and even stones of the same color are rarely seen.

Could it be that the intelligent life of a prehistoric civilization brought this 10-story high boulder out of thin air, carved it into a tower, and paved the road with leftovers?

Although the speculation is very unreliable, this is the only reasonable explanation that Chen Yin can think of.

After a few minutes, the group finally reached the end of the path.

The huge tower stands here.

From here, the tower is suddenly one and so majestic. On this huge rock, there is a dark gold gate, the material and style of which is very similar to the one when you entered the ruins, and the metal of the door frame is also carved with countless inscriptions of unknown meaning.

However, unlike the previous gate, except for the door frame, the two dark golden gates were tightly closed, blocking the way of Chen Yin and the others.

"Uh...... How do I open it? Chen Yin subconsciously wanted to touch the fireball technique.

There's nothing you can't do with a single fireball - if there is, two.

The first thought that popped up in the mind of Chen Yin, who was spoiled, was to brute force, after all, it saves time and effort, and it doesn't take a brain.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look......" Angel stopped Chen Yin, who had already figured out the fireball card, frowning and staring at the runes on the door frame, chanting something in his mouth.

"Looks like I don't need me here." Chen Yin shrugged his shoulders and put away the fireball technique.

After a few minutes, Angel pressed his hand against the door and whispered, "¥%(*......"

"Rumble ......"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of mechanical movement came, and the dark golden door slowly opened......
