Chapter 30: Liquid Butter

The room was silent, everyone waited, but as the minutes passed, nothing happened.

Sanders showed a disappointed expression and said: "It seems to be useless, grandma's, they have been dead for a thousand years, and they are still deceiving people, this is the hand of Sula, it is really not a good thing." ”

Just had a few words with Sanders, Vicky wanted to ease up, nodded and said: "Yes, let's settle down quickly, and then discuss what to do next, the few dried corpses in the back have to be taken away quickly, it's really uncomfortable to watch." ”

Sanders knew what Wiki meant, and knew that he had to stay united now, so he smiled and brushed the story up.

But before he could speak, Parkinson suddenly raised his hand and said, "Don't talk yet." ”

Seeing his strict attitude, Sanders had to obediently close his mouth.

After a while, Parkinson said again, "Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" said Sanders and Wiki were puzzled.

And the female warrior Niri and the paladin John frowned, apparently having made a discovery. In terms of the five senses, a fighter who has been physically trained for a long time is indeed much stronger than a spellcaster who is physically fragile.

And Leo already has the strength of an almost L-level warrior, so he naturally found the clue.

"Click...... Click...... Click......"

Some very subtle sound of gear crashing came from underground, and he made a closer look at it, and said, "I guess there should be space down there, but the switch to open the passage seems to be stuck." ”

Parkinson glanced at Leo in surprise, he was sure that the other party did not use the magic to increase hearing, so how did he hear the sound?

A series of discoveries made Parkinson more and more curious about Leo's true identity. This young man has a calm, perceptive and analytical skills far beyond his years. Although the level is only 2, it is involved in various aspects and seems to hide many secrets.

But now is certainly not the time to ask, Parkinson suppressed his thoughts. Shen groaned: "I agree with you, it may be that the age is too old, and the machinery is not lubricated, so it is stuck." ”

As soon as the two of them said this, Sanderston, who was originally a little disappointed, was interested: "Is there a space down there?

"Treasure, let me open it!" an excited voice came from behind.

Leo looked back in amazement, looking at John with an excited expression, a little confused.

Along the way, John rarely spoke, but acted in a qiē manner. However, they all strictly abide by the Code of Conduct of the Golden Church, including pious prayer twice a day, in line with divine power, regular and quantitative training, and physical condition. What is certain is that John is no longer the cowardly little servant of Joseph's castle, but has undergone a complete transformation after hard training and study.

Humility, seriousness. Sincerity and kindness are everyone's impressions of him. But his appearance just now surprised everyone. After all, greed for money is not a traditional virtue.

Noticing the surprised glances cast by everyone, John was a little unnatural, but quickly recovered and explained with a smile: "The Lord sues us. Wealth is a gift. There is no owner here, and there is no legal heir, so the treasure left behind belongs to the discoverer. This is a generous gift from my Lord. We should not miss out. ”

After saying some solemn words, Leo remembered that the Golden Church was different from other churches, and he also understood why John had just appeared.

The Yellow Church has never believed that wealth is the root of sin, but that the proper acquisition of wealth is the sacred mission given by the Golden Lady. If a priest or paladin is blessed with a great deal of wealth for the church by his own labor or luck, he will most likely receive the attention of the Golden Lady and a precious charism, and may even change his life.

Obviously, if there was wealth under this room, it must have been obtained in the right way, and it was no wonder that John was so excited.

"I want treasure too. Parkinson shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "But I'm afraid it's not so easy for us to get in." ”

"Why?" asked John.

Parkinson did not answer, but directly took out the dagger and threw it to the ground.

After a crisp sound, looking at the dagger that was half left outside, everyone understood that under the stone ground, it turned out to be a metal structure!

Parkinson stomped on the ground with his foot, looked at it carefully, and sighed: "I'm sure there's definitely a secret room down there, but the entrance is stuck, and it is estimated that with our strength, it will take a lot of time to break through, and it will make a lot of movement." ”

John asked distressedly, "Is there no other way?"

Parkinson shook his head: "According to what I've done for years...... Ahem...... This anti-theft device, though ancient and simple, is the most effective, and there is little way to remove it from the outside except for violent demolition. ”

In the team, Wei Jiji, who had the lowest desire for treasure, said: "Either wait for the task to be completed, and if you have enough time, let's find a way again." ”

"That's all it can be. John was very helpless, and then showed a reassuring smile: "Maybe, there is nothing down there." ”

"Hehe, yes. Parkinson laughed a few times, but he didn't think so at all. After doing so many thieves, there are not many people who know better than him where there may be money and good things. The sturdy device made of demonized steel plates, which is not cheap nowadays, is not used to protect precious belongings, but is it still a cellar for storing vegetables?

But there was no way, he knew that he didn't have the ability to open it, so he had to choose to give up: "Come on, let's get these disgusting things out first." ”

Everyone turned around and walked towards the stretcher containing the dried corpses, but Leo didn't move.

Parkinson wondered, "Leo, what's wrong with you?"

Leo looked at the dagger stuck in the ground, groaned for a moment, and replied, "I think I might be able to open something." Hmm, it shouldn't make much of a fuss. ”

"How are you going to open it?" Parkinson said incredulously, if he hadn't already known something about Leo, he would have almost taken Leo for an idiot. Even the most rudimentary thieves knew that it was impossible to open the ancient magic steel movement lock from the outside, not to mention that it was stuck inside.

"There should be butter in the food we carry. Leo said with a smile. He could see John's desire to enter the secret room, and he didn't prepare any greeting gifts for this meeting, so it was better to delay some time to help him fulfill this wish.

"Uh...... Hm?" Parkinson blinked, "You want to be buttered?"

"That's right. Leo nodded.

"But how do you know what's stuck? And you can't even look into the structure inside. Well, even if you can probe with mental power, how do you get butter in?" Parkinson questioned, as a good thief, Leo's idea was a fantasy in his opinion.

Leo saw Parkinson's thoughts, didn't explain anything, and replied directly: "Let me try, if it doesn't work, then give up, and it won't take much time." ”

"Okay...... Parkinson had to take out a small piece of butter, but he didn't believe that Leo would succeed.

Parkinson thinks so, but so do others without a watch. John immediately came to his senses and leaned in and said, "Big brother, do you need me to do anything?"

Leo had already made a plan, and immediately said: "Let's do it together, and help me find the gap in the entrance first." ”

............

Soon, with the joint efforts of several people, the stone slabs on the surface were lifted, revealing two tightly closed metal plates underneath, and it was obvious that if the devices inside were functioning normally, the iron plates should have been separated at this moment.

Leo prepared for a moment, then whispered a spell as a flame appeared on his finger.

This Level 0 Magic Flame Technique doesn't bring much heat, but it can be used to melt butter without overheating and zooming.

After a few seconds, the butter melted into a liquid state, and this time Leo recited a brief incantation. Soon, a scene that everyone didn't expect at all appeared. The liquid butter slowly floated in the shape of a ball, and then stretched a thin line and moved smoothly downward, penetrating into the gaps in the steel plates that were barely visible to the naked eye.

"Oh my God...... What kind of psychic power is this!Is he a pervert?" Sanders and Vicky exclaimed in their hearts at the same time. Parkinson's mouth opened even wider, and his face was shocked.

Anyone who has tried a little magic can see that Leo's second magic is a very commonly used magic hand, but very few people can control the direction of the force field as accurately and delicately as he does, even if it is an intermediate or advanced mage, it is difficult to do it.

In fact, this is one of Leo's talents, or rather one of the professor's talents. Using the professor's powerful computing power, Leo perfectly adjusts each part of the force field, pulling the liquefied butter into a silk thread, so that it can enter the gap without sticking to other places and affecting the final result.

The butter thread entered the cracks of the steel plate minute by minute, and time passed minute by minute.

No one dared to make a sound, and even their breathing was much lowered, for fear of affecting Leo.

Five minutes had passed, and Leo had begun to sweat on his forehead, and his head was slightly dizzy. Overloading the hand of magic, calculating the distribution of the force field, and constantly adjusting the structure consumes his mental power.

Seeing that Leo's body began to tremble a little, and everyone thought that he could no longer hold on, a crisp sound of "click" came, and in the silent room, it seemed clear to everyone.

Immediately afterwards, the solid steel plate slowly moved downward, but in just over ten seconds, it was retracted, exposing an underground passage.

"Oh yes!" everyone cheered in unison.

Parkinson slapped Leo on the shoulder and sighed, "I've done it for so many years, and this time I've really convinced you kid!" (To be continued......)
