The two stopped in front of the solemn gate, and Barbas sighed heartily at it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 INFO This kind of grand underground structure breaks his worldview and subverts his perception of the previous world, which he finds incredible.

Rex, on the other hand, was surprisingly calm and calm. Because he had learned this knowledge from the Night Mother for a long time, the history of the architectural features of the various countries in the Skyrim, and even saw the design drawings of the doors of such secret rooms in the library of the underground sanctuary. Therefore, when he looked at the real building again, he was naturally not surprised.

He approached the door and began to study the mechanism on it. The door is made up of three copper rings of the same thickness, closely nested, and in the middle of the copper ring is a cross-shaped keyhole that controls the three copper rings of the outer ring. Adjust the rotation of the brass ring by turning the cross lock.

The three brass rings have their own characteristics, the outermost ring is engraved with the symbol of the flying dragon, the middle ring is engraved with a fish, and the innermost ring has a moth engraved on it.

According to the principle on the design of the gate, the cross lock must be turned until the symbol dragon, fish, and moth on the copper ring are lined up at the same level at the same time, and the gate will not be opened. Rex knew from the beginning that this special structure designed by the Imperial people played an important defensive role in the Empire's treasury and prisons.

Barbas leaned closer to Rex, looked at the lock and asked, "Are you sure you can open it?"

"I don't know," said Rex, shaking his head, "in the library of Hardingher, I've only seen the blueprints of it, and I have no experience of actually opening the door. I can only try it!"

"Design artwork or something, it's too troublesome for me to be interested, and my only wish is to open it. Barbas looked at Rex and said, "Now that you've seen the blueprints, it's up to you!"

"Alright, I wish us success!" Rex geared up, ready to pick the lock.

Rex took out his dagger, aimed the blade of the front at one of the rows of cross-keyholes, and plunged it in. Twist the lock cylinder to the left first, and the three copper rings do not change without any transformation.

"It's not the right direction, try the other way. Barbas said.

He twisted the dagger to the right again. At this moment, the brass ring of the outer ring began to rotate, and the dragon icon moved from the bottom to the top.

"Well, you see, this method is correct. Rex said happily.

"Well, it seems so. Babas also smiled, "Quick, keep trying, maybe wait to open it right away." ”

Rex held the dagger and turned it to the right again, but the ring did not change, and after another turn, the ring still did not turn, and after turning back to the left, the third ring finally changed, and the moth's position moved to the left first, and the ring did not stop turning, and the sign rotated to the top again. At this point, it is on the same level as the Wyvern on the brass ring on the outer ring. When the two of them saw this, they were ecstatic, both moved and relieved, because they were infinitely close to success.

The confidence of the two was greatly increased, and they seemed to see hope for success. Rex continued to try to turn the cross cylinder, but no matter how much he twisted it, the fish on the brass ring could not be on the same level as the other two symbols, and Rex was sweating profusely.

Barbas's patience was also exhausted by the door, and he screamed in frustration, raising his fist and throwing a punch at the door, but Menven didn't move, and his body bounced back violently from the resistance. He cursed in frustration, "Damn the Imperial, to make such a delicate thing, and in the end you killed yourself, hey! stupid." Come on, I can't open it. With that, he stood aside and said no more.

Although Rex was very anxious and confused, he did not let his emotions get out of control, and his mind remained calm and calm. Facing the door lock, he struggled to remember how to unlock it as recorded on the scroll.

Ten minutes later, he still hadn't thought of a way to unlock it. Rex hung his head and lingered in front of the door. Suddenly, he remembered something. That is, every time the craftsmen of the empire complete such a door, they will always leave a secret message near the gate to unlock it, so as to prevent the embarrassment of not being able to open the door because the administrator has forgotten the unlocking code. Unlock Whispers are hidden nearby and are generally difficult to spot without looking carefully.

Rex was happy to think of a way to open the door. He immediately searched around the secret passage, lighting a torch to keep a single detail untouched. Half an hour later, he finally found the mysterious code on a half-buried stone tablet, and finally moved the three icons to the top of the gate according to the order of unlocking the left, right, right, and right. When the icons are on the same line, the door is finally opened.

The two were very happy, and walked through the gate, and after a secret passage, they came to the cellar. Ten large wine barrels were placed in the middle of the cellar, the food shelves against the wall were filled with cabbage, turnips, cabbage and potatoes, bags of flour were piled up in the corners, and many dried fish and hares hung on the roof.

They carefully patrolled the cellar and found no tigerman guards. So, he walked out up the stairs again.

That's when the map given to them by Sereditiel came into play. Rex and Babas came up the stairs and into the kitchen. At this moment, the time is early in the morning. The chefs had long since left, and the whole kitchen was dead. By the moonlight shining in through the window, they bent over and left the kitchen again, following the directions on the map. They walked through the corridors until they reached the banquet hall of the palace, and in between, they did not encounter a single guard, allowing their adventure to proceed smoothly.

The candles on the walls of the hall were also extinguished, and only the moonlight illuminated the tables and chairs by the window clearly and brightly, and the rest of the area was dark. They followed the planned route from the banquet room into the back hall, and then walked a little further east to their final destination, outside General Orim's office.

Following the instructions on the map, they repeated the route of Seredith, pried open the door to the General's office, and found the entrance to the Black Prison. Over the course of this series, their movements remain light and silent.

The black prison was still dark, and Rex lit the torch he carried with him, illuminating a foot in front of him. The sleepless prisoner was attracted by the sudden bright light, got up from the ground, lay on the iron cage, stared at the two people who walked in with curiosity.

They stopped in front of each prison for a second, searching for what they were looking for, all the while, shouting Keith's name and glancing over the prisoner's face.

The prisoners were tamed by the authority of the building and the tiger people, deprived of their freedom and suppressed spiritually. They are expressionless, nervous, and highly alert and distrustful of strangers. Everyone was salty, and their eyes were glazed, like the living dead.

Barbas and Rex shouted loudly in the Black Cell, hoping to lure the prince into appearing on their own initiative. Neither of them had seen Keith for what he was, and it was very difficult to find him, based on the king's simple description. They have no better solution than to shout.

The two of them explore in the black prison one after the other. I searched all the way, but I never heard a response to them. In desperation, they had no choice but to continue to search for the innermost part. Their efforts paid off after all, and as they passed through an iron prison at the end, they heard a faint response.

"Is that you, Prince Case!" Rex asked, standing outside the iron prison.

"Ah, it's me, Case. In the darkness, a lying figure sat up slowly, he straightened up, and slowly walked towards the door of the iron prison. The iron chain fastened to the ankle rubs against the ground, making a "bell" sound.

"Great, we've finally found him! Rex!" Barbas exclaimed excitedly.

Rex was also very happy, and walked forward quickly, standing in front of him next to the iron cage. The figure was unkempt, half of his face hidden in the darkness, unable to see the whole picture, standing in an iron cage very close to Rex.

"My name is Rex, and your father sent me to get you out. Rex said.

Hearing Rex's words, "Keith" in the iron cage did not show eager anticipation, but calmly said, "Ahhhhh

"You're welcome, thank us when you're safe out of this country. I'll unlock the door now, and we'll get out together. Rex spoke, picking the cross lock on the cage with a dagger. "The most important task at the moment is to bring you here. ”

"Rex, speed up. Barbas anxiously looked out and urged, "It would be bad if the guards found out!"

"Yes!" Rex replied.

"Ahh When he turned around, he found Rex lying on the ground clutching his stomach.

"Hey, Rex, what's wrong with you? what's going on!" he shouted anxiously.

"Ahh

"Who are you?" Rex asked aloud.

The figure suddenly let out a cold sinister laugh. "Oh, poor fellows, you have broken into the trap set by the general, and you don't know whether you are alive or dead. ”

The man threw the chains to the ground. I unlocked the iron prison and walked out.

At this time, Rex finally saw his face clearly. He is not the prince Keith, but a disguised tiger man. He held a dagger in his hand, the blade of which was stained with blood. looked at Rex with a cold and cunning look.

Barbas quickly returned to Rex, ready to pick him up. Only to find that Rex had a deep cut on his chest, and blood was spilling from the knife, infecting his clothes. Babas looked at the Tiger Man again and understood the current situation.

"What do you think?" asked Barbas.

"Hold on!" replied Rex.

"Who is this guy, and why is he pretending to be a prince?"

Rex shook his head, "I don't know, I've never met him. ”

"You need not be surprised!" said the tiger man, "I might as well tell you that what happened to you today is predestined, and it can be said that such an outcome has been arranged a long time ago. Your every move is under my control. ”

The two were amazed, and Rex asked with a shudder, "How do you know?"

The Tigerman let out a smug laugh, "As I said, you don't know anything about it. As for my name, I'm not going to tell you. ”

"Well, I'm not interested in knowing. Where's Prince Keith?" Rex asked, and Barbas helped him to his feet.

"I'm sorry, I can't answer your question right now, because I'm going to destroy you. The tigerman's face changed, his eyes were cold, and his gaze was sharp, like a wild beast had found its prey, and he looked at them viciously, ready to attack at any time.

Rex pressed the wound with his left hand and prepared for battle with his sword in his right hand. Suddenly, Barbas rushed forward and stood in front of him. "I know you'd love to do it yourself, but I'll be able to deal with this kind of thing. You're hurt, just rest on the side. Finding the prince is your most important task, and the fight will be left to me!"

Rex smiled apologetically, "It's fine." ”

Babas shook his body with a flash of golden light, and the black wolf stood in front of the tigerman, it let out a low roar and roar at him, cracking its mouth to reveal its sharp fangs.
