81_81228The inside of the ruins is unique, so it would be too dangerous for three little girls to run over and explore.

Therefore, Lilith, who had made a special trip back, brought Villard with her, although she was still a little reluctant.

According to Arya, in the original royal capital, there were actually some secret passages, and they all needed mechanisms to open, and some even required a combination of several mechanisms.

It sounds like a puzzle game, but considering that this is a former "royal city" after all, there is nothing strange about it, and presumably where Anne lives must have this kind of mechanism.

After all, it is something to be used to save her life in a critical moment, and in fact, it is this that Arya survives.

When she came to the ruins again, Lilith paid special attention to the stones that had been destroyed earlier and were used to block the way.

“......”

"Lilith, what's wrong?"

"Hey, don't just interject when my sister is thinking, okay?"

"Aren't you the same?"

Ahh Why is it that from the moment they meet, no matter what they do, they can cause them to quarrel.

And it's a quarrel for no reason. Isn't it good for everyone to be more mature?

"Nothing, let's go. ”

Lilith shook her head, looking away from the rocks.

The mark, sure enough, was destroyed, so in the time that he left the ruins, there was something suspicious that came in. And. They are strong enough to avoid the eyes and ears of the soldiers stationed here.

So, is your verification really correct? Here, there are non-ordinary creatures.

"Look, it's all you, interrupting my sister's thoughts. ”

"Each other, each other. ”

If you two hadn't argued, you might have come up with more, that's true.

Marks that have been destroyed relative to the outside, inside the ruins. The marks placed on the places where the creatures might have been haunted, on the contrary, have not been destroyed.

That is, the guys who haunt here. It's not that she's been living here for a long time, and if you think about it badly, it's that she doesn't live on the first floor of the ruins, at least. Straight to the secret passage, this situation is possible.

"Na Arya, can you remember how many secret passages there are here, and how they can open them?"

"This is the only one I won't forget. ”

Arya nodded, "Overall, if anyone is really here, I think the most important and urgent secret passage I escaped in the first place is the most likely, because it is connected to the outside world. After I escaped, though. Someone shut it down and stuck there. So ......"

"Don't be so sure, maybe those things were fixed by an unknown guy?"

"If that's the case. She's a brilliant engineer. ”

"And I can't guarantee that all the secret passages that have not been examined will be opened after the fire and the baptism of time. Because of the secret passage of which I spoke. It requires all the remaining passages to be opened in order to be triggered. ”

Use the rest of the fake secret passages to cover up the real secret passages. And after the death of ancient emperors, it is a reason to build a large number of fake tombs to prevent real tombs from being discovered. It seems that it was no accident that Arya was able to escape in the fire.

"There are more than 20 true and false secret passages. If you don't mind, just go open it with me, anyway, it's no longer a secret that can't be said. Arya said, as the leader of the team, began to look for a starting mechanism.

However, more than 20 places...... It's really, really, a staggering amount. Even if it's a secret passage, it's not so much.

"Hmm...... It's here. ”

The stone face was pitch black, but it certainly wasn't really a mark. In other words, even though the mark was destroyed by the fire, Arya who can still be found here really has a great nostalgia for this place.

"It was supposed to be an indoor garden, marked by a rose. Count ...... from the corner Well, it should be over here. ”

The garden is mostly similar to the garden of the mansion on the outskirts of Imperial City, and it seems that this is the original.

The rose had long since turned to ashes, but Arya still used her memory to step on the unremarkable ground.

【Click】

【Boom】

The secret passage, opened?

No, that's more than that.

"The first mechanism has been opened, and the secret passage that opens with it is not the final one, so go find the next marker. ”

"Wait......"

Lilith stopped in front of Arya, "Let's investigate each secret passage." ”

Suspicious creatures haunt the ruins, but they don't have to be in the most suspicious passages that Arya says. Therefore, it is better to investigate each secret passage in advance and do a good job of confirming it.

Although there are more than 20 secret passages, Arya can find the mark quickly, and it is not difficult to complete the investigation in one day today. If anyone is here, there will be clues.

"Do you investigate each one?"

Arya looked embarrassed, "However, I don't build such a thing, because some secret passages have some dangerous things such as traps, and I was still young at the time, and I have done my best to write down the secret passages, and the mechanisms inside are really a bit ......."

After a long time, the excuse that the organ will be invalid is basically useless. Because the secret passages are basically underground, and as long as there is no destruction as thought, let alone a hundred years, even a thousand years can still be preserved very well. However, the most disgusting thing should be poison gas and the like, because this kind of thing will not be a mechanism after a long time, but will be scattered throughout the secret passage.

"It doesn't matter. ”

Lilith shook her head, since she had already done the step of scaring the grass, she must make sure that all the grass is gone. Even if you can't catch the snake, at least you have to make it have nowhere to hide.

"Verard, can you please walk ahead and find your way?"

"Yes. Sister. ”

Without hesitation, Verard walked towards the staircase that protruded from the ground.

But she really has nothing to fear, because this kind of trap made by humans against humans is basically useless to her.

"I think this secret passage should be a train of thought, and if you go to the end, it's just a wall. Arya recalled, following Lilith. "Hmm...... The secret passage marked by the blue rose, I remember, should not be trapped......"

【Whoosh】

“......”

"Woman. Can I assume that you said that on purpose?"

Villard had a short arrow between her fingers, and it looked like she was in a bad mood.

"Anyway, be careful about the traps. ”

Arya looked embarrassed. "I was young at the time, and I really didn't know much about these things that I shouldn't have known. ”

At the end of the day, it should be said that this secret passage is really just a small secret passage made in order to play that trap. After all, no one would have thought that in a secret passage where there was nothing abnormal, walking and walking. Suddenly, a short arrow will shoot out of the wall.

Not to mention the enemy, even your own people will be hit. Arya's home is a dangerous place.

"Sorry......"

"There is no need to apologize. Let's go find the second one. ”

The second marker looks like it's above the ceiling, and according to Arya, it was supposed to be a chandelier, but unfortunately, even the castle is gone, so it's impossible to keep it. In order to find the small brick accurately, Verard searched the ceiling for a while under Arya's command.

Nature. Verard's face was even worse. According to her words, it is very uncomfortable to be called like a maid by someone other than her sister.

The second secret passage was also opened. This time, Arya didn't dare to conclude anything, "whether there are traps in the secret passages" such a thing. However, just as nothing happened along the way, and everyone was about to open the third secret passage, Anne raised questions.

This may also be a doubt that she can only say if she has similar feelings.

"Arya, with all due respect, is there really no problem with our investigation?"

Anne said, "Although it may be that I have a lot of heart, but with the opening of these secret passages, will there not be a new secret passage between the secret passages of the dead end, as you said?"

“......”

"If that's the case, then there's no point in us investigating one by one, and if they really want to avoid us, suspicious guys can shuttle through it. ”

"Yes...... But the previous secret trap wasn't triggered by that guy. ”

"There's no problem, if it's a guy who can fly like Villad, the trap is basically pointless. ”

Lilith realized that this time the operation was wrong, if what Anne said was true, then with the current number of people, and the group of people who had to act together, it was absolutely impossible to catch the "snake".

"This ...... I don't know about that, because I've never been in a situation like this. ”

Arya frowned, "The only time the mechanism was fully turned on was because of the fire. Until then, I had just written down the location of the secret passage and how to open it. And...... This kind of thing, how could I ask casually. ”

“...... Well, then you can't rush to destroy. ”

Lilith nodded, "But ...... I'm curious, Arya, these secret passages in your house are really, too many. ”

What kind of victim paranoia can build such a secret passage like an underground palace? And most of them have traps.

Although these secret passages do come in handy.

...... And so on, exaggerated to the point that no one would normally build a huge secret passage, and it really came in handy soon after, allowing Arya to escape.

Doesn't this seem to be a move to build ahead of time when we already know that we will encounter danger? Because this kind of huge project can no longer be said to be a process of "prevention".

Sure enough, it's weird.

"This ...... Ha, I don't know. ”

Arya sneered, "Actually, the construction of the secret passage should have been my father's decision. ”

"Anyway, it's good not to be too aggressive. ”

Lilith said, "Let's get here today, and restore all the secret passages so that they don't really be discovered." After that, Verard, call your people, and when we are ready, we will conduct a thorough search of the secret passages here. (To be continued).
