Chapter 113: Three Answers
Without any warning, a light appeared in the dark underground ruins, and it was not the pure white ball next to Ulysses that only illuminated about ten meters around, but the light that lit up almost the entire underground space.
This light came so suddenly that no one was mentally prepared, not even the natives of this world, many underground monsters, were stunned.
They have lived in the dark world for a long time, and instinctively do not like this light, so they hide one after another, and the few people who have come to this underground ruin look in the direction of the light source together.
It was an incomparably large building, in the center of the underworld, it was located in the center of the complex, and the whole took on a strange posture of large and small at the top, like a triangular cone that had been turned upside down and inserted into the earth.
Around this cone, three tall towers were erected, and it was these three towers that broke out of the ground halfway and unleashed the dragon vein forbidden spell "Eye of the Storm", which surprised even Faphnir, summoning the all-destroying Storm Dragon.
Around the tower and the cone, there are also scattered buildings, which have become nests of monsters over time. But at this moment, in the light, the monsters that were accustomed to darkness hid one after another, or directly hid in the center of the largest ruins.
"Okay, in this way, Xiao You and Laxia will definitely be able to come here. On one side of the huge cone, Mira lowered her hand.
In front of her was a wall of intricate writing.
In the middle of the wall was a blank space, out of place with the myriad words around it, but now there were some words flashing in the blank space that Mira had just scratched with her fingers.
On the side of the wall, a door has been opened.
"What did you do?" Ann looked at the relaxed Mira with incredible eyes, and it was her fingers that lit up the lights around her—where did the light come from.
"This is the Wall of Riddles, the key to open the door of the tomb set up by the builders of the tomb for those who came after them in a long, long time. Only those who know the answer can enter, otherwise there will be no door, but a trap. Mira's fingers slid over the ancient words, which represented the wisdom of the old ages and the last thoughts of the builders here.
"Riddle, answer?" Ann thought it was just a jubble of text, with no rules at all. Not to mention knowing these words, she has never read them.
"There are three riddles written here, and each riddle has only one correct answer. Mira stared at the ancient wall, and she herself felt strange that she had actually written all the answers.
The first riddle.
Angels came into this world, she brought light, she brought wind, and her smile made people forget all their troubles. As long as you see her with your eyes, your mind will be calm, as long as you hear the sound of her footsteps with your ears, your body will be at peace, and as long as you touch her light, your soul will be at rest. When she went back, she left only a flower to accompany the heroes who fought with her, what kind of flower was that?
"Dandelion. It was not a difficult question, not so much a riddle as a remembrance, of the angel who had come down on the earth and the white flowers she had brought.
The second riddle.
The angel has the dragon flying by her side, it is her most faithful companion, the best comrade-in-arms, it fought for her until the last moment, stained the sky red with blood, and then rested in the ancient earth, who still remembers its name.
"Osiris, the dragon of the sky, the guardian of the pyramids. "This is knowledge that normal people would never know, and if it weren't for the ancient records of the Angel of the Wind in Mira's library, the name of this hero would never have been known.
This is a tragic dragon hero, legend has it that he and the angels who descended on the earth defeated a powerful demon and sealed him at the bottom of the earth forever, but because he was seriously injured, he also slept on the earth forever.
The third riddle.
The demon walks in the crevices of darkness and light, and no one knows what he really looks like, and no one can understand what he really thinks. He has a thousand faces, a thousand voices, he is the king of demons, the ancient evil, who is he?
Mira wrote the answer, but strangely enough, she didn't know what it was, because she didn't have the answer to the riddle at all, and she didn't know what she had written.
She just put her fingers up involuntarily like that, and completely unconsciously completed the final answer. In a blur, it seems that Ulysses smiled at her that night in the village of Mira.
Mephistopheles Ann looked at the words Mira had left on the wall with some curiosity. She couldn't read the other two at all, but the last one she couldn't understand inexplicably, because she knew the name.
Yes, she didn't know this kind of writing, only the name.
She felt as if she had written down the name somewhere, not a very clear memory, but the impression was very profound, as if the name had a special meaning, inadvertently remembered by her, so that she still did not forget the memory of the past.
"Let's go in and wait for Xiao You and Laxia, it's not safe here. Mira read the words on the wall, looking for a safe way out of here, and found some clues.
"Good. "It's definitely not safe to get here, and Ann defeated at least a dozen powerful monsters to escort Mira here. If she were alone, she would probably have lost her way to the point where she didn't know where.
Obviously, the only person who can solve the puzzle here is Mira, who is a scholar, not a warrior.
.................. The dazzling light illuminates the ground and exposes those who are hidden in this darkness.
"What's the matter, that ruin has really been opened!" Kimu, the sole sect leader who had collected enough materials and was about to conduct the final experiment, looked at the outside that suddenly lit up in shock, and the knife in his hand was crooked, and the meat ball in front of him was slammed into a hole.
He had been using the ruin to hide his church's secret experiments for a long time, and with the broken ruin key, he had also approached the central building of the ruins, but could not find any way to get there.
The giant cone was guarded by terrifying magic, and if you didn't complete that ancient riddle in a short time, you would definitely be sent to death by a sudden magic trap. Even with half a key, he didn't dare to try the power of those magic traps.
But he really wanted to enter the ruins, because he knew better than anyone else what was unusual about them. Just the underground species that have grown on the periphery of the ruins have already made great progress in his evil experiments, and it can even be said that the starting point of his research is these species with strange powers.
The people on the ground could never have imagined how many terrifying creatures inhabited this dark ruin, and what amazing abilities these creatures possessed over the course of their evolution. Those forces have transcended simple natural evolution and reached a realm that is unimaginable to man.
The monsters that appear on the ground are just the tip of the iceberg of this underground population. The truly strongest, the most terrifying, never left this relic at all.
Because all of this comes from the magic that leaks from this ruin. It is this power that has changed these ordinary underground creatures and given them the power they have now.
And he, who had gained great power from studying these creatures, was more eager than anyone else to gain the true power of the ruins. This has become a kind of **, uncontrollable**.
But all his efforts to open the door to the ruins failed, and the closed door did not appear in front of him once. For this reason, he sacrificed at least hundreds of lives with blood, and he could not find a way to open the door.
He also carved the riddle on the wall and studied it with many scholars, many of whom solved the first puzzle, and the second one was not known to many people, only a few famous scholars found some clues, and as for the third, no one had even heard of it.
"Bastard, who's stealing my treasure, someone. Kimu dropped the blood-stained knife and picked up his wand.
"Master, what's the matter? Several black-robed men respectfully came to Kimu's side, waiting for his instructions.
"Release all the weapons that have been cultivated now, and I will kill all the people who enter this ruin, leaving no one behind. Kimu waved his black wand in his hand with a fierce look and gave the order to slaughter.
"Yes. Despite not being able to understand this command, the black-robed members of the church followed Kimu's instructions.
Soon, a low roar appeared outside, accompanied by heavy wheezing and gnashing of teeth. This is the only secret weapon that has been cultivated by the sect, and it is a terrifying killer born after burying countless people.
"Very well, but that's not enough, let me see where the rats are who dare to steal my things. Kimu angrily walked out of his church's hiding place, looked up at the line of defense of the huge cone, and saw the door that had been opened next to the wall at first glance.
It was the door of truth he had always dreamed of, and behind it was the mysterious power he had longed for countless nights. No matter what the price has to pay, no matter how many people he has to kill, he must get that kind of power in his hands.
Bet on everything he teaches, and he's sure to make that power his thing.
