Pannis, however, did not bother to look around as leisurely as Lina, who was standing in front of the door inside, searching through the open two-way door, and searching the walls outside.
"What are you doing?" Lina looked at Pennis's busyness and asked strangely, "What are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for a button. Pannis pointed to the door where the two men came: "It's like that door, there should be one here, but I can't find it, it seems that there is none." ”
"Could it be some other way to close this door?" asked Lina.
"It's hard to say, but it doesn't matter. Pannis said.
"Let's search the inside quickly, and if we don't find anything, we can leave as soon as possible. Lina frowned: "Notify the guild when you go out, and let them find a way to dispose of these dangerous magical beasts." If these demonic beasts are as strong as the last Earth Hunter, the two of us will definitely not be able to handle it. ”
"Why are you in such a hurry?" asked Pannis.
"I just remembered that it was the middle of the night. Lina said with a sad face, "Even if you leave immediately, it will be almost dawn when you go out." Tomorrow evening, I will preside over the closing ceremony of the festival, and I will have to sleep to recuperate myself before that, and I will run out of time. ”
"Let's do a quick search, well, this seems to be the control room. Pannis surveyed the new room. The room was not large, only about twenty square meters, and on one side of the room, there should have been a long table and a few chairs, but now, there was only a pile of pitch-black powder in that place, which looked like the natural decay of the wood after it had been left for too long. On the other side of the room, there was a metal platform, one section of the platform connected to the wall, and the other end resembled a hexagonal shape cut in half, with three sides of equal length facing each of three directions, and in front of each side, there was also a cloud of black powder, which was supposed to be a chair that had been placed there.
The metal platform is not a pure plane, but a 20-degree upward inclined plane, in the middle of each side of the platform, there is a large square spar, lightly touching the spar, the dull spar suddenly lit up, and countless intricacies appeared on the surface of the spar.
"What is this?" Lina curiously touched the spar, and with each touch, the ground text on the surface of the spar would quickly change: "This is also quite fun, and it will change back and forth." ”
"I suggest you don't touch it. Pannis looked at Lina with a very strange gaze, as if he admired her courage: "I participated in an exploration of the ruins of goblin technology a long time ago, and I also encountered similar hedron that time, and the equipment in their ruins is controlled by this hedron, you don't accidentally click on self-destruction or accidentally release the group of cute creatures outside, you won't be able to cry when the time comes." ”
Lina had a ghostly expression, jumped away from the platform with a speed she had never seen before, and glared at Pannis: "It's so dangerous, why didn't you tell me earlier." ”
The corners of Pannis's mouth twitched, and he replied helplessly: "How did I know that your curiosity would be so strong, you actually used it as a toy, I just glanced elsewhere......"
"Well, I apologize. Lina raised her hand in apology: "However, since no one knows the text on it, how did you deal with it when you explored it before?"
"I've said before," said Pannis, "I know no more than four people in the world, and I happen to know one of them, and he went on that expedition. ”
"Four?" Lina was stunned: "Didn't you say no more than three before?"
"Is there one?" Pannis replied with a wink and no guilt, "Well, I'll admit, I just made up the numbers in passing." ”
Lina nodded and lifted her foot: "Believe it or not, I'll kick you by the way." ”
"Haha, I admit my mistake. Pannis smiled and surrendered: "Don't make trouble, you have to go inside." ”
"Hey, tell me who is making trouble. Lina argued with Pannis as she followed him inside.
Through the control room of 20 square meters, there is a two-way automatic door, it is worth mentioning that behind the two-way automatic door, Pannis found the automatic door manual control lock as he wished. After going through the automatic door and a few hundred meters forward, turning a corner, the two found that they had reached the end of the road. At the end of the corridor, there were no doors or walls, only heavy rocks, which completely replaced the original location of the corridor.
"What's going on?" Lina looked at the rocks at the end of the corridor with some confusion, "Could it be that there was an earthquake here that collapsed this place?"
"No, that's not how earthquakes work. Pannis shook his head, approached the rock, stuck to the junction of the rock and the metal wall, squinted his eyes for a while, suddenly pulled out his sword, activated his fighting qi and stabbed several swords at different junctions in a row, and said thoughtfully: "Look at this seam." ”
Lina leaned over and looked at it: "It's very strange, one side is metal, the other side is a rock wall, it's very clear, it's not like it was caused by an earthquake at all, it's like, it's like, it's like someone tore this part of the room and put it here." ”
"That's right, that's what it feels like. Pannis applauded, "I doubt it too." ”
"But it's impossible, who can have the strength to tear such a big building and put it here. Lina shook her head in disbelief: "I don't think it's likely." ”
"There is a person who maybe. Pannis held up a finger: "He can do it." ”
"Who?" asked Lina in disbelief.
"Yara. ”
"What?" Lina looked at Pannis, as if she saw some monster, "You say it again, I didn't hear clearly." ”
"The creator god, Yara. Pannis repeated without question.
"No kidding, okay. Lina couldn't help laughing: "Lord Yara is not idle every day like us, he has long left this world to create a world in other planes, how can he come here to move a building." ”
"I'm not kidding. Pannis's face was indifferent, not at all joking: "I really think so." ”
Lina slowly stopped laughing and looked at Pannis uncertainly, "Are you serious?"
"If you think about it, there is actually a hint of this in the creation epic Yara's Song. Pannis said.
Lina also became serious, bowing her head and thinking, after all, in the Yala world, the name of the creator god Yara is supreme, and it is not a good choice to laugh at it. After thinking for a while, Lina looked up: "You mean, after the end of the Third Age?"
"Yes. Pannis nodded: "The end of the Third Age is due to the war of the gods, the world is broken, and the Yala continent completely collapses and is blown to pieces. ”
"Then Lord Yara's will returned in the self-sacrifice of the Guardians, and the power of creation restored the fragments of the continent. Lina continued.
"Wrong, not restoration. Pannis said with certainty: "It's just using large and small pieces to reshape the continent, but there is no guarantee that each piece will be in its original place." ”
"Hmm, that is, misspelled?" asked Lina tentatively.
"You can't say it's a misspelling. Pannis said: "There is no need to ensure that each piece is in its original place, there is no point, as long as it is finally rebuilt into the original appearance of the continent, sighing that the whole piece of the desert has been lost, and the part of the structure that has been reshaped." ”
"Blah blah. Lina's mood was stimulated by a series of surprises within a few minutes, and the ups and downs began: "Sigh, what's wrong with the desert? Hmm, how do you know?"
"I've heard rumors about the tavern, too. Pannis laughed dryly at the skeptical look in Lina's eyes, 'Why haven't I heard of such rumors?' a few times, and finally lowered his head and said, "Well, it's not a rumor in the tavern, the source can't say, but I promise it's true." ”
Lina nodded, "However, does this have any effect on us now?"
"Not at all, at most it explains a mystery. Pannis shook his head and replied, "The only thing I learned was that I knew that it was part of a building, and God knows where the rest was." ”
Lina rolled her eyes, turned her head and walked back, and said helplessly: "Then let's go, don't delay the time, I want to go back and take a hot bath, and then sleep comfortably, recuperate and preside over the ceremony at night." ”
Pannis followed Lina's footsteps: "Well, then go back to sleep, I'm going to be away for a few hours." ”
"What's wrong, do you need help?" Lina was stunned for a moment, and asked as she walked, "Why did you suddenly have to leave for a few hours?" ”
"No need, just taking care of some personal issues and coming back soon. Pannis said, "I guess I came back before and after your ceremony." ”
"Well, you need to be back as soon as possible. Lina nodded and agreed to Pannis's request: "I want to finish the ceremony, don't attend their final celebration of the evening, and go straight back to the Holy Capital." ”
"Not going to the bonfire?" "Penis thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Oh, I see, because of Vivien." ”
"yes. Lina smiled at the corner of her mouth: "That guy is estimated to have been sullen for the past few days, and I won't attend the party and rush back to accompany her overnight, she will probably become a little happier." ”
"Speaking of which, why is she unhappy, can't she wait until next year?" asked Pannis, puzzled.
"I can't say the specifics, just like me, when she told you, she completely treated you as her own. Lina smiled mysteriously.
"Actually, I can guess it. Pannis sighed, "It's likely that she won't have next year, right?"
"Wait for her to tell you. Lina resolutely refused to reveal it, and changed the subject: "Look, let's go back to the control room, I really don't want to go through those demonic beasts anymore." ”
"Then you can live on this half so you don't have to go through it again. Pannis also collected his mood and said teasingly.
"Come on less, you. Lina was about to fight back, when Pannis suddenly covered her mouth.
"Shhh
Lina blinked, listened for a while, and suddenly a large drop of cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and she whispered in a trembling voice, "I heard it...... Could it be that curiosity really kills cats?"
Faintly, there was a crisp sound when the crystal shattered,
