Chapter 16: The Gate of Price
Inside the City of a Thousand Wishes.
Gently shaking the red in the cup, the alchemist cocked Erlang's legs, his eyes fixed on the projection on the wall, but his handsome face was sad.
"Damn, I didn't expect that holy warrior to kneel down first, this plot is too godly. ”
Through the crystal clear projection, he could see everything that was happening in the Land of a Thousand Wishes, and he was so bored that he made watching Lidona and her group his only show.
I can't help it, I stay in this almost airtight place all the time, and if I don't find something to entertain, even a god will go crazy.
The entire process, from the attack of the shadow wolf to the pit worm, the alchemist has tuned in.
But he guessed the beginning, but not the end.
Seeing that the stupid-looking rookie mage actually resolved two crises was more or less unexpected by the alchemist.
In particular, the part where he killed the pit worm with his body as bait impressed the alchemist, who had not seen such a wonderful show for many years. He began to wonder if this mage was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but the spell he cast was indeed a spell that only a rookie mage could do.
Is it because this guy is so good?
Absolutely not, alchemists would never believe in fate.
"The Lost Prairie is coming to an end, and I really want to see what kind of wonderful performance they will have in the Misty Woodland. The alchemist said to himself after recalling the map of the Confused Realm.
Suddenly, he noticed a hint of weirdness: "Damn, the soul of the holy warrior can't be found? There is no reason, there is no god of death in the realm of a thousand wishes, where is the soul?"
Although he was a little surprised, the alchemist still felt the need to bother with him.
"Don't worry about it for the time being, as long as you can collect all the five souls in front of you. The alchemist drank the wine from his cup.
Leaving the place where the corpse of the puppet tunnel worm was, the group continued to move forward.
Although the most dangerous existence in the Confused Grassland had been wiped out by them, they did not dare to stay here too long, and it was only right to find the entrance to the Misty Woodland as soon as possible.
Nubis, a somewhat lost guide spirit, powerlessly guides the way forward. In his opinion, the pit worm did not destroy these unknown adventurers in front of him, which really hurt his heart.
Although in essence, the task of the Guide Elves is to lead the adventurer through many trials and reach the destination of the City of a Thousand Wishes. But Nubis, thoroughly annoyed, was now thinking about how to kill these adventurers one by one on this long journey, and for some reason he had to do so.
Naxi, who was following behind Gangze, asked, "Nubis, how far is the road into the Misty Woodland?"
At the end of the day, Naxi felt that he had completely left the Lost Grassland, because the light green that could not be seen at a glance was long gone, surrounded by half-human bushes and sparse broad-leaved trees.
"It's coming, it's coming, what are you doing in a hurry? Nubis said weakly, he didn't bother with Nashi much now.
said that he didn't care much, but in fact, he didn't dare to deal with it, who knew what something out of the ordinary this guy with a disgruntled face would do if he was in a hurry. Nubis had enough of the slaps along the way, and now he still feels that the hot feeling on his face has not completely subsided.
Following Nubis's guidance, the people walked another mile or more.
Suddenly, a large blue shadow appeared at the end of the woodland, and everyone walked in to find that it was a huge locked door.
The patina-clad bronze doors are covered in ornamental patterns that look like early elves, a primitive art style that can only be seen in the deepest sanctuaries of the elves. The outer edge of the bronze giant is wrapped around unknown rocks, which are more than a meter thick in black color, and the bronze door is tightly wrapped.
When everyone got closer, they found that the black rock and the bronze gate were embedded in an unknown space, and the surrounding scenery also became foggy as everyone approached.
"Where are we?" said Naxi, looking at the blurred surroundings, the scenery behind him slowly fading, leaving only a white patch.
At this time, the guide elf behind Naxi struggled desperately a few times: "That's right, you have arrived, let me out quickly, I want to open the door!"
Naxi untied Nubis, but did not unlock the pocket of the dimensional net: "You don't need to ask you for such heavy work as opening the door, you just need to tell me how to open it." ”
Before Nubis could refute Naxi's words, Lidona, who was standing near the bronze door, had already held the big sword in her hand, and without blinking, she slashed directly at the bronze door. The sharp sword pierced directly through the sturdy-looking bronze door, and Lidona didn't feel like she was splitting with the sword, not the bronze door, but the water.
"Don't waste your energy, it's the door. Any non-living form can pass through, but a living form cannot. Nubis, who saw Lidona's move, said triumphantly.
Lidona withdrew her sword and reached for the bronze door with a suspicious reach. Sure enough, it can't be penetrated as easily as a long sword, and only by touching it with the palm of your hand can you feel the real existence of the bronze door.
Lidona approached Naxi and lifted the guide elf up, "Little one, tell me how to open this door." ”
"Is this the attitude of begging for people?" "The guide elf Nubis began to get carried away again, "When you ask someone to do something, the tone must be underground, and the attitude must be sincere......"
Before Nubis could finish speaking, Lidona picked up the dimensional bag and threw it to the ground.
"I'm sorry I slipped my hand. ”
"I'm sorry I accidentally stepped on you. ”
"Ahh Nubiston, who was more sensitive than ordinary people, screamed, "Don't step on it, my Majesty! ”
Naxi, who saw all this, couldn't help but touch the cold sweat on his forehead, all he could do was to mourn for Nubis.
Seeing that the guide elf had already begged for mercy, Lidona picked up Nubis, who had been trampled on, "Can you say it now, little one." ”
Nubis, who had already wept, sobbed and said the way to open the door: "The door of price, as the name suggests, is to pay a price to open the door, and this price is what you hold dear. ”
"Precious things?" Naxi couldn't help but get angry when he heard it, "You are blocking the road and robbing the road, why should each of us give precious things to this door." ”
"I'm not done yet, did you see that palm print next to the bronze door?" Nubis said cautiously, glancing at Lidona's face.
"And then. Lidona looked impatient, "Don't sell me anything! I don't have time to talk to you here!"
"Yes, yes!" Nubis snapped out everything about the Gate of Costs.
It turns out that the Gate of Price will select candidates by touching the palm prints of the people, and the chosen ones will ask for the precious things from the Gate of Costs. This is a test of the Thousand Wishes Realm, and the bronze door to the Misty Woodland will never open if you don't follow the meaning of the Price Gate.
The way to open the door had been obtained, and Lidona was the first to put her palm on the rusty palm print, and the bronze door did not react at all.
Immediately after that, Naxi and Jisma also confronted the seal with trepidation, and the bronze door still did not react. It seems that the Gate of Price has not taken a fancy to them, which makes those and Kissma breathe a sigh of relief.
Only the dwarves Gangze and Raikkonen remained.
The dwarf glanced at Raikkonen and said, "Let the old man come first, you'd better think about what you want to throw at this damn door." ”
In Gangze's opinion, he was alone and had nothing precious on his body at all, so he did not hesitate to put his palm on the palm print on the door.
"Hehehe, there's a dwarf here. A hollow and somewhat childish female voice came from the door of the price.
"What the hell is going on?" Gang Ze, who looked surprised, didn't know what was going on, and he didn't dare to let go of the hand pressed on the palm print, for fear that something more terrible would happen.
