Chapter 265: The Puzzle of Augustus

Augustus, the "Hero of Origin", was the first and strongest warrior in human history.

He single-handedly resisted the pressure from all sides in ancient times and helped people establish a human cultural system centered on the Holy Capital, and it can be said that without Augustus, there would be no human world today, so his contribution is undoubtedly groundbreaking.

In addition, Augustus is most famous for his record of single-handedly defeating the first demon king of the horde, King Solomon, and if you look at the point of view that the older the demon king is, the stronger he is, he is also the ceiling of human beings in terms of combat power so far, and there is still no creature that can surpass it......

"It's amazing, I can't understand what the things here represent, but it should be left by the Aurora Brave to protect our descendants. ”

Seeing that Aurora had been in a daze since she came in, Tamu couldn't help but speak, albeit with complete nonsense.

I see...... It seems that this ruin existed long before my time, but because of the relationship between time, the description that has been handed down has been skewed, and it is wrong to confuse this ruin with my deeds?

After hearing Tamu's words, Aurora Mune nodded, but in his heart, he gradually figured out the truth of the facts.

Obviously, this place was not set up by himself, but was left long before his own existence, that is, the time of the first brave Augustus, and even from this ghostly method, it is likely that Augustus himself wrote it.

Similarly, because of the age, there are actually quite few records of Augustus the "Brave of Origin", and even if you search, you can only find some formulaic descriptions, such as what is powerful, broad-minded, friendly and so on, all of which are very stereotyped things, and they are actually of little value.

But this relic is different, if it was really set up by Augustus himself...... So......

"I'm sorry, Chief Tamu, can you leave first?"

At this point, Aurora said to Tamu with some apologies that she had to do the same, even though it was a bit like she was going to catch the cook when she was full.

"Oh, that's fine, but ......"

"There's a lot of unspeakable stuff here, and it's likely that there's a certain amount of risk, and I may not be able to fully protect you. ”

Is it still that serious...... After listening to Aurora's words, Tamu had no choice but to nod and advise: "Then you have to be more careful yourself, I will wait for you outside, and if there is anything, come out quickly." ”

"Okay. ”

Nodding, Aurora watched as Tamu left the door behind him and walked down the hallway towards the outside world, and began to observe the situation in the circular space.

This place is not very big, at best it is a little bigger than the first floor of his own bamboo house, and the surroundings are empty, only such a stone tablet in front of him exudes a good sense of existence.

Above the stele, except for the "primary color coat of arms", which is the special symbol of the "Origin Hero", only a large blank space remains, which looks somewhat strange.

"Primary color coat of arms...... The unique sign that only Augustus could use alone in the world required a special technique to make this special pattern, but fortunately, the teacher had taught how to inspect it before. ”

After examining the "primary color coat of arms", Aurora remembered the lesson that Mr. Lovecraft had taught back then, saying that using three spell sigils would produce different effects for each of the three color zones......

Ah, there really is. When the three special sigils landed in the tricolor area, the "primary color crest" suddenly emitted a burst of light, and then the three color blocks actually began to spin in front of Aurora!

At the same time, with the rotation of the "primary color coat of arms", the originally blank area of the stele gradually showed a line of text, and it was not the ancient script used by the tower wood to open the door before, but the common script that was only used later to standardize the use to this day.

This is....... Augustus's message? I didn't expect this to appear after the heraldic examination according to the teacher.

"It reads...... Question: The next five questions can only be passed if you answer at least four questions correctly? What is this? Is there a guessing puzzle?"

Suddenly, Aurora searched her memory, and felt as if she had ever mentioned this kind of five-in-four puzzle from anyone, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

However, since it is a puzzle set by the legendary "Origin Hero", it should be difficult, can I handle it now?

Even if Aurora is well-read, it's hard to find a second person as knowledgeable as her, but now she can't help but feel a little apprehensive when faced with the puzzle of Augustus.

With a flash of golden light, a puzzle of a line of words suddenly appeared on the stele! and Aurora immediately concentrated her mind and tried to deal with this difficult level, which may have never been seen before......

"Question 1, what is the biggest thing that can be made by five pieces of wood...... Isn't it just a "forest"? Oh no!

After Aurora read the question once, she said the answer almost without thinking, but she immediately regretted it.

No, it can't be so simple! Since it was Augustus's question, there must be a hidden ...... Ahh

But when Aurora was feeling sorry for her hasty answer, the golden light on the stele immediately shattered, and then the word "correct solution" was formed......

However, before Aurora could open her mouth to complain, questions 2, 3, 4, and 5 came one after another!

"Question 2, who is the hardest to wake up when they fall asleep?" "People who pretend to be asleep" Ah, idiots, is this?"

"The third question, what is the weakest wind?"

"The fourth question, what is the middle between truth and falsehood? Of course, it is "and", and the answer to the riddle is on the riddle. ”

"Question 5, what kind of fire can't burn things no matter how big it is?" "How can anger burn things......

......

......

"Congratulations, you've answered all the questions correctly, and the passage is about to open...... Am I being underestimated?"

When Aurora answered the five questions correctly, the golden light on the stele immediately crackled and exploded, as if she was celebrating with fireworks, but her expression did not have the slightest hint of wanting to celebrate.

Augustus, what a man who underestimates future generations, how can any creature with no brains stumped by these questions?

As Aurora waved her hand and sighed, the stele suddenly moved to the side, exposing a passage beneath the stele that had been suppressed.

"This is the secret passage?"

Not knowing how to describe her feelings, Aurora was loyal to her desire to explore and walked down the passage below.

The secret space hidden by Augustus, the "Hero of Origin", is a huge attraction for anyone, and Aurora is no exception.

So even though she felt underestimated, she walked down the spiraling passage as if she was attracted to something, until she found a closed door.

This ...... Pushing the door open, Aurora walked in without hesitation, as if she were wandering around her own home.

Behind the door is a huge underground space, filled with many bottles and cans, various instruments, and rows of bookshelves.

How do you look at this? Does this look like a research institute? Could it be that Augustus is also ......

Since she had visited the "Demon King Research Institute" in Lion, Aurora felt that familiar feeling when she came in, this rancid smell and uncomfortable feeling, she must not be mistaken!

Where the hell is that Origin Hero...... What is this!

But as Aurora walked towards the depths of this underground research institute with a full of doubts, she was surprised by what she saw after she looked beyond a bookshelf!
