Chapter 121: Puzzle solving
Since there is a mystery in the dream, if you have the opportunity, you should try to solve it and find the answer. Although there are often ethereal things in dreams, even if you encounter questions in reality, you may not always have a satisfactory answer. Therefore, some people often sigh that life is like a dream.
Kiki sometimes gets lost, and eventually she tells herself to sift through the best way to verify the truth of something. If you follow the right path, you will find the answer.
While everyone was out for work, Kiki dragged Lingji around the depths of the fortress. Since you have already infiltrated the fortress, wouldn't it be in vain not to know all kinds of information inside the fortress? The power turbine facilities of the fortress are basically at the lowest level, so that the overall center of gravity is low. Most of the stored materials are concentrated in the middle, and the upper part is mostly habitable rooms and air chambers. The gas generated by the artificial gills at the bottom is charged through the air duct into the upper chamber and the air chamber fortress to generate buoyancy, and the bottom turbine moves when the huge fortress moves.
Kiki searched the winding passages for the very center of the fortress. Assuming that the stronghold is an oversized nautilus, then the original part of the stronghold should also be where the nautilus's life first grows.
"Kiki, do you think there really will be a mysterious gift in the center of the fortress that you dreamed of?"
"I'm looking for the answer to this question, but you must have found the nautilus seal at the bottom of the copper bottle containing the next volume of "The Tale of Camera". This is a big hint of reality, and the hint is also a push to the answer. ”
Lingji looked at the nautilus seal in her hand, hoping that it was really the key to some secret.
"Kenken's mother had quietly told us that they had summoned their pets to make food for the whales, and although Okazawa had carefully protected them, even the wooden cage had been made to prevent them from being accidentally injured by the whales. Despite this, they were reluctant to accept the reward of being knighted after a future victory. You can imagine how much they want to be saved, and I don't want to save just one or two, but to save them all. So bring down Acantero and his fortified fortress. ”
"Kiki, Aunt Kenken told you that a pet who summoned a pet to feed the whales died in despair and old age, right? I can't see that you didn't react much at the time, but in fact you didn't feel like that in your heart. ”
"Sometimes being too sad only makes you weaker, so you need to find a solution to the problem."
The road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, and it should be almost to the center of the fortress, which is the center of the Nautilus fortress spiral. The builders of the fortress were familiar with the shape of the nautilus's shell, and it was a great ingenuity to build a highly stressful nautilus fortress as a model. If you look at the world from this perspective, what kind of life is not a super ingenious design? What kind of life is not a miracle? What kind of life is absolutely useless? There will even be species that consider themselves noble to judge the merits of other life? Isn't this a bit arrogant?
Finally, there was no road, and at the end of the air-filled passage was a wall. It's not wide, and it's covered with gray-white wall ash that is about to fall off. The two girls fumbled around the wall for a long time, hoping for clues about any mural or text on the wall, but unfortunately it seemed to be in vain, which made Lingji a little disappointed.
Kiki calmed down, she still didn't want to give up, but she really couldn't figure it out now. Did you do something wrong? As he was looking down to think, he suddenly remembered that the old man was a dwarf. She fell to the ground and groped for the height of the base of the wall with her hands. As the loose wall ash fell, I finally found the "keyhole" of the nautilus's concave pattern.
The two girls were excited.
"Kiki, it seems that your instincts are right. There really is such a thing as a dream! Lingji said.
Not wanting to say anything more, Kiki picked up the seal and imprinted the keyhole. After a few seconds, the wall dust shook again, and a muffled grinding sound sounded as a door opened.
"Wow! The size of this door is designed according to the old man's figure, right? This room should be called a chest or a small cupboard, right? Lingji exclaimed.
"Lingji, can you keep a sentry for me outside? Last time, I was also curious to open a box to prevent the offender from being knocked unconscious by someone else's sneak attack, so this time I have to be on guard. The entrance is small, and I want to climb in and see it myself. ”
"Okay, be careful yourself, call me if anything."
Kiki lay on the ground and slowly slipped through the door. Luckily, the height inside the door was enough for Kiki to sit up. The room was not large, and through the not-so-bright light, Kiki could see a text engraved on the wall on the side of the turn:
"Hello, I am the designer and builder of this fortress, and when you see the words on the wall, I think I have ascended to heaven. Not being able to protect the fortress I built myself was one of my regrets as an engineer, but I had an even greater regret.
If you are destined and willing to fulfill my will, use this fortress to do things to protect more lives. I would like to present this fortress to you and tell you the greatest secret of this fortress.
In fact, this fortress is an oversized speaker, a giant speaker, that is, a sound cannon. Just put the stamp into the gramophone in the fortress to activate the microphone of the sound cannon. Gramophone in ......"
At this point, Kiki still tries to find more clues, but finds that the wall has changed. Just as the rocks were weathered at a super-fast rate, they began to turn into gray-white dust and slid down, and the handwriting on them disappeared with it. It is a strong and meticulous secret design, the wall with the words will react with the air, and at a certain time the wall will fall off and take away the secrets printed on the wall, and also empty the last diary of the fortress builder.
Kiki has no plans to leave the room, and maybe a layer of wall ash will peel off and a layer of written wall ash will appear. It's a pity that I didn't learn how to find clues from Captain Akang at the beginning, otherwise maybe I could have gained more at this moment. Until the wall ash is spread on the ground with a certain thickness, and the wall no longer falls dust and there is no handwriting symbol.
The outside passage is mostly curved, and you can't see far away like you can see straight roads. So Lingji's line of sight distance was too short, and when she was defenseless, Okazawa didn't know where to stand in front of her, which surprised her:
"Yo! Okazawa-sama, you ...... How did you get here? Aren't you busy? Lingji deliberately raised her voice and sneered.
"This place is not easy to walk, you didn't wrestle here, did you? It's not good to fall and get hurt. Okazawa often speaks dishonestly: "Can you tell me what you're doing here?" ”
Lingji was secretly shocked, thinking that this guy was cunning enough, and he wore a gentleman's demeanor in the interrogation, and there were greeting lines in the words of staring.
