Chapter 131: Exploring the Fortress
"Kiki, wake up." Lingji woke up the sleeping Kiki in the middle of the night and said, "I noticed that Okazawa, who has been staring at us for the past two days, is not in the fortress. Estimator has been sent out on a mission, and our chance has come. ”
"Lingji, thank you for your hard work." Kiki got up, "You've helped me a lot when you came to this fortress. ”
"You're welcome, I won't help you, who will help you." Lingji gently pushed open the door and looked out cautiously to make sure that there was no one outside.
Understanding the structure and weaknesses of the entire fortress is something Kiki has been doing secretly. She wasn't sure if the Nautilus Fortress was Arcantero's last possessions, or if controlling the fortress would break the foundations of Arcantero's power, she was just trying to maximize the rescue of the merfolk who had been captured to summon food for the whales.
But Kiki didn't have a complete plan, and she didn't know what to do to achieve her goal as quickly and effectively as possible. With a strange dream and a nautilus copper seal after being struck by lightning, using this cognition as a clue to explore the secrets of the Nautilus Fortress is really a bit like child's play. But you have to do something, and maybe there will be results; If you don't do it, you won't get anything. And what if you get it right?
In the winding corridors, Reiki illuminates the dark passages with the light from her body. Her favorite is the lantern jellyfish, and naturally like the lantern jellyfish, she will use her body to emit some fluorescence to light up the path under the feet of the explorer. And Kiki only wants to find the mysterious room mentioned in the dream as soon as possible, and find the gramophone in the room.
Originally, I didn't notice that room, but Aaron had quietly approached somewhere in the Nautilus Fortress's shell for some reason. Later, Okazawa found out and started fighting, but I don't know what happened to Aaron afterwards. But near the fight, the jellyfish Lingji spotted a not-so-noticeable clear glass window somewhere on the side of the Nautilus Fortress's shell. The windows are covered with vines for concealment. So the room where this window is located aroused Kiki's great curiosity.
After groping in the airy corridor for a long time, I came to a double door with a rather classical workmanship. The texture of the metal frame, the fine carved ornamentation and the shape inlaid with stained glass make anyone who sees it can't help but be curious to push open this door. Find out what is wonderful and wonderful things that can be behind the door.
Without any time, Kiki reached for the doorknob, but couldn't do it. There was a keyhole on it and the door was locked. Lingji knows that Kiki is a little disappointed, so she removes a metal hairpin from Kiki's head. It was bought for her by Captain Akang when she was shopping in the Imperial City. The hairpin is simply processed in Lingji's hand, and then the sharp end is inserted into the keyhole for a while. I don't know what happened, the door lock was opened.
"Okay, Lingji, you're going to do this."
Lingji grinned slyly: "When I was a child, I stole snacks that were locked up at home...... Alright, you go in by yourself. I'll give you wind outside the door, and I'll call me for something. ”
Kiki entered the room alone, just as she had imagined. Through the glowing stone vessels in the room, she saw paintings hanging on the walls, a wall kitchen for storing wine vessels, tables and chairs with delicate patterns, and most importantly, a morning glory shaped horn. By the way, this is the gramophone I've been looking for.
She looked up and down around the gramophone, there must be some mechanism or something. But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't find anything special, so what can I do? Kiki wondered what he would do if Captain Akon was here. This ordinary gramophone really doesn't have any secrets, but it is placed on a round table. The round table, on the other hand, stands on the floor with only one leg sticking out of the center under the thick table.
The tables throughout the room are four-legged square tables, and this one is a one-legged round table. A bold idea came to Kiki's mind, and she reached for the edge of the table, trying to turn it. Sure enough, the table could be turned. When turning to the phonograph's horn and pointing at the clear glass window in the room where you can look out, the sound of a gear mechanism being activated came from the gramophone case. Then the case pushes out a mechanism panel from the inside to the outside like a drawer, and there is a small hole like a mold in the center of the panel.
Kiki became excited, and the shape of the hole was also a nautilus. And it's clear that this is the keyhole that was opened with that copper seal.
Sometimes even she herself does not understand why, when people are very curious, their conscious consciousness will avoid all the nerves that perceive danger, so that people forget their fears, and they are not afraid of anything like they have eaten the gall of a bear and a leopard. What happens if the nautilus copper seal is put into the keyhole? This answer was like a temptation to test and burn Kiki's heart. Although she was a little worried about the lessons of the National Treasure Sacred Crown, Kiki took a deep breath at the thought of so many people in need of redemption. Carefully put the copper seal in his hand into the keyhole.
The click sounded again, but not from the gramophone. Instead, on the floor in front of the glass window, a movable floor is automatically opened. A metal pole sticks out from the bottom and upwards, and the pole is not long. There is a person who is tall, and the top shape is a bit like a chrysanthemum, and it is also a bit like a sunflower. The bronze pattern is covered in a thick layer of dust, making it feel like an artifact that has been sealed for hundreds of years and has been rediscovered. What is it used for? Kiki was curious.
Faced with the dust on the flower-shaped object, Kiki leaned forward and took a deep breath, trying to blow off the question marks on the flower. She blows hard in the right direction......
"Boom......" A deep and atmospheric voice sounded, and the aftermath lasted for a long time.
The entire Nautilus Fortress suddenly vibrated violently, and a huge and invisible vibration energy radiated outward from the spiral center of the Nautilus Fortress, with one side of the Nautilus Fortress as the energy release surface, and the surrounding seawater as the transmission medium. The energy was staggering, and the many towering rocks and hills around the fortress had almost completely collapsed. Fish and shrimp residents panicked in the sandstorms on the seabed where the shock wave went, and small tsunamis appeared on the surface of the sea. In a short period of time, strange dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder and lightning echoed the sudden changes in the sea below.
Kiki was also taken aback, and she realized that the thing she was blowing was probably a super-giant horn mic. Even if you now understand that the Nautilus Fortress is a super speaker and the secret of the super sound cannon, you must first close it as it is. Because the time is not yet ripe for the use of this weapon, and there is no plan to make a relevant plan. Blind early exposure can be self-defeating and undone. So she pulled away the nautilus seal and turned the table back to its original state. The corresponding mechanisms were reset one after another, and the fancy microphone was re-hidden underground. The whole room went back to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
As soon as they ran out of the room and closed the door as they were, Kiki and Lingji trotted all the way back to their room. The two of them didn't speak on the road, and they had a tacit understanding in their hearts. Know what to do at this time, and don't talk too much.
