Chapter 52: Exploration (1)
Extraordinary power, extraordinary power of the Sage level!
Before the two of them could inspect the mural, a white spear was fired from there, shooting straight at Carol in the distance.
Glerint shouted "Be careful", and before he could come to the rescue, the spear had already pierced Carol...... But her body shattered abruptly, turning into a confetti - the "paper man stand-in" she stole from the secret puppet of the "Chain of Trickery" and preserved it through the "Chain of Parasites".
But it's not over, the white spear didn't dissipate after piercing the paper figure, but stared at Carol, and actually chased after it in a corner!
At this time, Glerint's support also arrived, and he took advantage of the fact that he was still hooking up the "Black Emperor Card", and with five fingers of his right hand, he threw several "twists" at the spear in a row, and then changed his attack target to the floor next to it.
"Hey, this attack is quite high!"
You know, now he's getting a Sequence 4 personality with the Blasphemy bonus.
"Boom!"
The gray and white floor of unknown material was blasted out of a shallow pit the size of a dustpan.
The smoke cleared, and Glerint looked curiously at the mural over there...... As a "decryption scholar" at the level of Sequence 5, Carol is extremely excellent in both reconnaissance ability and inspiration, how did she trigger the attack of the mural?
"Don't look at ......"
Through the smoke, Carol saw Glerint's movements and immediately opened her mouth to warn...... Unfortunately, he was a step too late, and Glerint only faintly heard a sound, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and the stone wall suddenly blew out a storm of morning light, which directly swept away Carol nearby, causing it to dissipate as quickly as the scorching sun melted snow.
Confetti, glass, wands, all of them, Carol couldn't use any stand-ins.
"No!"
Glerint let out a cry of grief, his consciousness suddenly rose, and he pryed the spirit world to release a black mist, trying to return the "entropy" of the material world in this area to the state it was half a minute ago.
But he failed.
Carol is the foundation of Glerint's humanity and his weakness...... Her disappearance made his heart shrink suddenly, his brain was chaotic, his reason disappeared, and madness grew rapidly!
In the real world, after Carol shouted that reminder, she didn't see any attack on the mural, and she was at a strange time, but she found that Glerint suddenly closed her eyes, and her face flashed with nervousness, grief, despair, and other emotions, and then a bitter tear slipped from the corner of her eye...... Then, his expression distorted, his muscles swelled, and fine curly brownish hairs surfaced on his body.
"Illusion? Can he actually control the environment? ”
Carol was shocked and anxious, and hurriedly followed the "connection" between the two, and repeatedly threw out her thoughts:
"Glerint!"
Gleilynt ......
Gleilynt ......
Gleilynt ......
Echoing shouts, they rang out directly in the bottom of Glerint's heart.
"This is, this is ...... It's little Amy's voice! ”
In the hallucination, a surge of joy swelled up in Glerint's heart, and lightning pierced the fog called grief, and he subconsciously looked at his hands and muttered:
"I, this ...... What's going on? ”
Doubt is a seed that can nullify all "belief", and the basis of illusion is to believe that everything is real and that it has happened.
When that suspicion came to mind, the whole environment cracked in an instant, like glass that had been hit hard.
The scene was shattered, Glerint's eyes were clear, and then he looked at the lovely man with a frowning brow, who could it be if he wasn't Carol?
……
"What's going on?"
Hurriedly moving away from the stone wall, putting away the joys and sorrows that fluctuated repeatedly, Glerint asked in a deep voice.
Although she didn't know why Gleilynt broke free from the illusion as soon as she called, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with the same doubts:
"I don't know, but I was attacked once, and I deconstructed the trigger mechanism of the mural...... It's a pity that I was a little slower when I reminded you. ”
"What is it?"
"The line of sight, to be precise, is the line of sight of intelligent beings."
"Sight?"
"Yes!"
Carol nodded affirmatively and continued, "This is not like a regular extraordinary ability, perhaps a personal secret technique developed by the 'Arcane Master'. ”
"Secret Art ......"
Gleilynt muttered the word, lost in thought.
It makes sense, just now I "saw" the residual divine power of the knowledge dragon on the right. But what about the danger you encountered just now? It's a bit scary to find your weakest point all at once...... To be honest, the general extraordinary ability Glerint can see the move in a high position, but this illusion that hits the heart doesn't give him any time to react at all!
"Find the weak spots...... Find the weak ......"
As he read it, Glerint's eyes suddenly lit up.
Insightful!
Sequence 3 of the "Reader" pathway!
"Yes, I should have thought that it should have such a capability...... However, the gun that attacked little Amy before seems to be the means of the 'Silver Knight'...... The one who left behind the mural was supposed to be the possible dragon of knowledge, which had a sight-triggered trap attached. But in reality, he only remembered the name, and didn't know the specific extraordinary ability.
It is hard to imagine that a temple built by giants has a fresco trap left by a dragon.
Aren't they mortal enemies?
……
I didn't prepare before, but I didn't expect this kind of arcane trap triggered by sight...... With his preparations, Gleilint groaned slightly, flicked his wrist, and turned the crimson mantis in his sleeve into a flat piece of paper.
Carol probably understood what he was thinking:
"But can't you share your vision with it? And if you go through it to see those murals, there is also a chance that the trap will be triggered. ”
"No need to share."
Gleilynt shook his head and explained with a smile:
"Just cut off that mural, it doesn't matter if it's broken, there's no talk about cultural relics here!"
Indeed, as long as the occult traps are abolished, whether it is a little effort to put together the murals or let Carol decipher them directly, they can get the information they want.
Carol was not amused by his bad jokes, and she said with a little worry:
"But if there's some other trap there......"
"It's okay, that's how the secret puppet is used."
When exploring, secret puppets that cannot share their senses can only be used to eliminate danger.
Within minutes, Glerint quietly leaped to the top of his consciousness, and through the prayerful vision of the Predator, he confirmed that the broken mural no longer had extraordinary abilities attached to it.
"Alright, let's go and have a look."
……
Looking at the fragments, Gleilynt decisively gave up the "jigsaw puzzle":
"You can put it together in your head, I can't understand anything anyway." As he spoke, he volunteered to sort through the pieces to make sure they were all patterned upwards and not covered or obscured.
There are a total of eight murals.
"The first depicts a giant throwing a spear condensed by the dawn light at the dragon."
She explained as she briefly described it to Glerint.
"The second is that the giant summoned a storm of dawn light and was frightened off when he tried to attack...... Well, the thing that the giant was afraid of was a living creature larger than itself. ”
……
……
In general, these eight inscribed murals depict the battle of a certain giant who defeated the "evil dragon", and his name is "Icarus". According to Carol's analysis, the frescoes are supposed to have been created by the builders of the temple, and the two are one and the same, both of which are dedicated to Icarus.
"As for the extraordinary ability to attach......"
Needless to say, Glerint knew from the look of embarrassment on her face that it was probably fruitless.
Bypassing this pile of "cultural relics", the two took the lead as "predators" and explored this side for a while. Not surprisingly, there is also a large collapse here, but there seems to be no remnant of extraordinary abilities here.
On the whole, the scale of this temple is not too large, about seven or eight meters high, and about sixty or seventy meters. Together with the buildings in the back, the overlook is a longitudinal ellipse, but except for the main body of the temple, most of the ruins behind it have collapsed, and large areas have broken and sunk into the sea.
"What do we do now? Where to go in? Portal? Left and right behind? Window? Or climbing a chimney? ”
With Carol around, Glerint didn't believe in his inspiration at all.
The girl gave him a blank look:
"You're a good fit to follow my path."
Climb the chimney! It's a shame that he can figure it out!
Glerint felt that he was almost everywhere, but Carol thought about it and said:
"Generally speaking, the mural used to 'record' should not be carved into the stone wall of the exterior wall, and it also has extraordinary abilities strangely attached...... Let's go over here and go inside! ”
Of course, Glerint has no opinion, anyway, there is no extraordinary ability left here.
…………
Inside, the light suddenly dimmed.
After walking a few meters, Glerint faintly heard a faint sound, so he raised his hand to stop Carol, and slightly amplified the voice, which turned out to be a roar:
“…… Eluria ...... Icarus ......"
“…… Eluria ...... Icarus ......"
The voice was poignant and mournful, as if all the sorrow had been poured out.
"'Icarus' is the giant, Eluria...... So who is that? There was Glerint's "amplification," and Carol heard that voice as well.
