The king took the journal and walked to the gate.

Xiaobai complained: "We picked up the log today, and we learned about the blasphemer for a while, and then we learned the dying story of a poor old elf, and we were listening to the story." ”

"Don't forget," the king reminded, "that we have just come out of a fortress filled with thousands of enemies. ”

"Oh yes, we did run for our lives." Xiaobai held his big head with both hands, "I'm a little tired when I think of this stubble, I'm going to sleep." ”

Wang: "Sleep." ”

Xiaobai: "Tell me how you plan to crack the trap, I'll listen to the bedtime story, I can't understand it anyway." ”

The king smiled.

In fact, Xiaobai is smart in the squad, she just doesn't want to learn.

After all, not everyone can learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, at least the druids who are close to nature can't learn it, although her IQ is high enough.

Wang began to explain his current train of thought: "This old man only said the final game, did not say the rules, and did not give hints. I guess the hint is in this book. Also, considering that the old gentleman probably didn't have much time to elaborate puzzles in his later years, I guess the puzzle was mostly a brain teaser. ”

Elizabeth: "Like a fake door downstairs? ”

Wang: "Almost. ”

He was about to continue, when he suddenly stopped to look at Xiaobai.

Xiaobai was lying on the ground, already snoring, and his belly was lying together regularly.

Wang couldn't help but take off his shoes and lightly put his foot on her belly.

As soon as he felt the ups and downs of his belly, Xiao Bailiu slapped his hand away like a mosquito, and then picked his belly hard, turning his clothes upside down.

Elizabeth: "I really envy her, she always wants to sleep, and the people who can do this are 100% stress-free." ”

Wang: "Are you stressed?" ”

Elizabeth was about to speak, and stopped: "I...... I don't always go up, it's a lot of pressure! Especially seeing that you teach Nini so hard all day long, I'm worried that one day Nini will suddenly have one ring, and I will only have one more ring than her! Fortunately, I recently rose to the third ring. ”

Wang: "But you're still one less link than me." Ah~ah~ Three rings, you are one less ring than the fourth ring......"

Elizabeth kicked the king in the heel: "Solve your riddle!" ”

The king put on his shoes and walked up and down the wall where the puzzle was written, continuing to read the journal as he went: "'Before you begin your final journey, make a good look at my mage's tower. This is originally a place inaccessible in the dark region, and the benthic demon fish in the lake will probably fight a king without my control. ’

"'I don't think anyone will visit my mage tower for many years, and by the time it finally has guests, all the traps will lose their magic. So I'm going to make a joke on the visitors at the main entrance. ’”

The king paused and scolded: "So that's the case, this guy has a fight with Elzam. ”

Marika suddenly said, "Why didn't this elven mage become a lich? Transforming the Lich's spells should be a lot easier than embracing eternity, right? After all, Elzam is done. ”

The king laughed: "When Elzam hears this, he will definitely cry...... , I don't care if it will cry. ”

The king had teased his old friend, and then remembered that Elzam had slaughtered the entire city to just two thousand people in Repulse City.

Even the king with a big heart knows that he shouldn't use this tone to tease his old friend.

Elzam is an enemy, and no matter how many times he encounters him in the future, there is only one thing to do, which is to destroy it.

Destroy it until its lifebox is discovered and destroyed.

The king looked through the log in silence, turned a few pages and suddenly smiled again: "This old elf, when he is dying, he has begun to have leisure, you look at what he said here, 'I am in the secret room where the treasure is kept, and I have prepared a few entertainments for you. You'll need to beat my automaton to get the final reward. ’

"'That's right, it's the time-stop ring I made!' ”

Marika frowned: "Does that doll still have magical powers?" ”

Wang: "You forgot?" The space inside this mage tower stands still once the observer leaves time...... Oh grass! ”

Wang slapped the table.

Xiaobai was so frightened that he bounced up from the ground: "What's wrong?" ”

Wang: "This mage tower, time stops!" ”

Xiaobai: "Time also stops in the dimensional bag, is there anything strange about this?" Isn't it equivalent to a big dimensional bag? ”

Wang: "That's what I thought at first. But no! You forgot that the dimensional bag can't enter the living creatures? But this mage tower, we came in safely! This is completely different from the principle of the dimensional bag!

"This mage tower has always been in the timeline of the plane of Garia, and in order to stop the flow of time in it alone, the person who built the mage tower must know the nature of time well!"

"But in what you just read, hasn't the owner of the Mage Tower always been puzzled?" Nini asked.

Wang: "No, you see him saying here, 'I don't think anyone will visit my mage tower for many years, and when it finally has guests, all the mechanisms will lose their magic. ’

"Later, however, he said: 'I have prepared some amusements for you in the secret room where the treasure is kept. You'll need to beat my automaton to get the final reward. ’

"You see, isn't that a contradiction? The old elf knew that the puppets in the tower would not lose power, and he knew that the moment he left, time in the tower would stand still. At the end of his life, he realized that time really stopped. It could have been the stranger who had visited by chance who gave him a hint!

"Look at the log, he said he's trying to figure out blackbody radiation! I had been thinking that this journal was written in a very short period of time, but there was no date in the journal at all.

"It's hard to know that hundreds of years have passed since the first journal was written and the old mage left. Even if it's a pig, it's time to understand it after a hundred years of research. Besides, mages are generally smart. ”

Nini: "So the mage embraced eternity?" ”

Wang shook his head: "No, figuring this out is only the first step in embracing eternity, and he may still be too late, but it's none of our business." We're going to solve the puzzle now and get the ring for the Time Stop, or Ultimate Acceleration. ”

Xiaobai: "I admit that your speculation is quite reasonable, but these have nothing to do with the puzzle in front of us, right?" ”

Wang: "Yes, I have deciphered six symbols on the wall, and four of them translate to the lingua franca of 'time'. ”

Xiaobai yawned: "Then press these four symbols to open the door?" ”

"No," Wang stopped Xiaobai, "there are two symbols left, which can express the meaning of doubt, and the combination on the wall is, 'time, question mark'." ”

Nini: "Are you asking about the nature of time?" ”

Xiaobai looked at Wang: "I guess you must know." ”

Wang: "No, I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't have to cast the Four Rings spell. But I make a bold guess, and the elf old man doesn't know either. Although he has mastered the true magic of stopping time, the quest for knowledge is like blowing up a balloon, the bigger the balloon blows, the more things it touches on the surface.

"That's why it's so difficult to embrace eternity."

Elizabeth asked blankly, "What do you mean?" ”

Wang: "You have a question for a guest, and you promise that they will be rewarded if they answer, but you don't know the answer to this question, so how can you know that the guest is right?" ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Xiaobai: "Put yourself in their shoes, if it were me, in this case, I would actually be determined to reward the guests, no matter what he said." Saying the right thing answered my question, and saying it wrong also made me hear another idea, maybe it can inspire thinking. ”

The king snapped his fingers, "That's right. So the first level is actually no problem to answer anything. Just like the iron gate downstairs, it's a road. ”

As he spoke, the king pressed the brick that Marika had pressed at the beginning, and it was this brick that was pressed and the other bricks reversed.

The next moment, the bricks of the entire wall moved, curled up to the side.

Marika was stunned: "The beginning and end of the puzzle are the same brick, the Möbius ring?" ”

Without waiting for the king to answer, the adamantite statue on the other side of the stone wall spoke: "Stranger, I am the answer, but what is the problem?" ”

Xiaobai was speechless: "I guess this is the next level." ”

The king assessed the strength of the Adamantite Golem and said to Xiaobai, "You go down to pick up Flint and Gao Trick right now." ”

"What?"

Wang: "I think the two of them could smash this golem if they used the five-headed flail together." ”

Xiaobai frowned: "Are you sure this is the solution to this level?" ”

Wang: "Not sure. But the Time Stop Ring is such a powerful treasure, and it won't break if you hit it a little. ”
