Suspended in the water, Magellan's heart was full of incredulity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But now he still felt that the process of opening the four gates was too simple, maybe it was because he got the key, but Magellan didn't think that the mage lord would be such a kind person. Swimming in the palace made this feeling even more persistent and intense, and every time Magellan's foot stepped on the steps and was bounced out, he felt that he was in a dream.

The little fish wagged its tail and swam out of the window, and Magellan was stunned and followed.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the palace behind him, and wondered in his heart: Could it be that such a gorgeous palace is just a roadside scenery?

Following the little fish, it didn't take long for Magellan to enter a cave, which twisted and turned, and finally saw a disc.

The little white fish wagged its tail and rushed to the disc and disappeared, and then Magellan saw a fish in the center of the disc.

"It's like living in a story......"

Magellan sighed and spat out a stream of water in the water. It's amazing to be able to speak underwater, especially when someone like Magellan "breathes" water, and the water collides with his mouth when he speaks.

He leaned over to the disc and looked at the intricate pattern on it.

It is a four-part disc with four rings set together from the inside out, and the innermost part is a small circle with the image of the small fish inside.

Each of the sixteen squares on the outside has a different pattern inside, and it is dyed in the same four colors that are found everywhere.

Magellan put his hand on the disc and saw that each ring could be turned, a trap, presumably a puzzle left by the mage lord.

He thought about it and thought it was unlikely to be a trap.

In fact, from the very beginning, the Mage Lord made the key and spread the rumor that "Judel is the gatekeeper", which means that he built the vault to preserve things, so he designed the method of opening the vault, and the only remaining problem is how to ensure that the person who gets the key must be the person he chose to inherit the treasure.

Obviously, the mage lord knew that the other mages were the biggest threat, so he designed a trap against them, and the ordinary Magellan went all the way unimpeded, directly following the small fish's ass and rushing all the way here without using his brain.

Then the disc here is very necessary, could it be that a mage lord would give a collection that he has put so much effort to hide to a lucky fisherman?

This must be a puzzle to see if a lucky person who knows no magic is eligible to inherit the inheritance of a mage lord.

Magellan smiled, he didn't think he would be worse than anyone else.

There are four colors and four patterns on the wheel, a total of sixteen combinations, which exactly fills the sixteen squares, and all four rings can be turned, and there is only one correct combination in the end.

The four colors are white, yellow, red, and green, and the four patterns of fish, birds, lizards, and turtles look quite simple and complex.

Magellan looked around to make sure there were no other hints, and then began to feel like he might not be able to solve the puzzle.

The lucky one, possibly Judel, the young fisherman, had something that Magellan did not have.

As for what it was, Magellan was sure that soon he would know.

......

Judel greeted his mother and walked out of the house towards the bakery.

He is now an apprentice in a bakery with no wages, but Judel is still grateful to his boss because his mother has not gone hungry since he became an apprentice.

Walking into the bakery, Judel went straight to the kitchen in the back. Every afternoon, a oven of bread is baked, so that until the evening is too cold and there are no customers, the bread sold is fresh.

As usual, he saw the owner and his daughter here.

The owner of the kneading dough smiled and asked Judel to help the girl who was burning the fire, and his eyes were almost like a father looking at his son's love.

Judl has already met the boss's two sons, as he knows, the boss has a very bad father-son relationship with the two, but they are both very good to Judle, probably because they don't think the boss will talk to them like before after having Judle.

The boss kneaded the dough and sat on the side, chatting with Judel about homely things, and somehow, suddenly mentioned his life as a fisherman.

"Have you caught anything in the lake, Judel my child?"

"There are a lot of strange things, and I threw them all away. Judel showed a look of reminiscence, "There is a copper sheet, I want to sell it for some money, so I didn't throw it away, but unfortunately no one bought it." ”

The boss nodded: "You go and find it, give me the copper piece." ”

Judel thought it was a little strange, but he didn't ask anything, and went home and turned the copper sheet out of the corner and took it to the bakery.

The boss took the copper sheet from the apprentice's hand, and a look on his face that made Judel find it strange.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Judel ask, the boss's expression became more complicated. He stood there silent for a long time before finally speaking, "You know, Judel, you are actually the one chosen by the ancient mage lords. ”

Juddell smiled, he felt that the boss was joking with him, but he looked at the look on the boss's face, and he didn't feel like it: "How ......"

"A lot of the old fishermen in that pool can't even catch a fish, let alone anything like that. Judel, my child, if you wish, you may be able to become a mage. ”

Judel's face was reasonable: "I'm not a mage." ”

"Why?"

"When I was starving, the mage didn't care about me, you took care of me, and I wanted to be the owner of the bakery. ”

"Good boy......" The boss had a complicated smile on his face.

He quickly perked up: "This thing must be useful for mages, I'll try it, maybe I can find a mage and let him say that the bread you baked is delicious!"

"Huh?" Juddell thought the boss was unrealistic, but he didn't stop him.

......

In the backyard of the wealthy merchant, the head of the mage, the countess, and Magellan were in the room, looking at a copper disc on the table.

"That's what the fisherman Judel got from the lake, and everything else was thrown away. The mage leader said the bad news with a serious face, "This is not a magic item at all. ”

Magellan smiled and picked up the disc, looked at the half of the gear exposed on it, and laughed: "No wonder the mage lord's secret has not been opened for so long. ”

It was a copper disc, the size of an adult's palm, with two square notches cut open in the outermost shell, one large and one small, revealing the pattern below, and the gears inside could be seen through the gaps. Although the copper plate is quite heavy and feels solid, it is actually a hollow and delicate machine.
