Chapter 21: A Preliminary Exploration of Secrets

Link didn't resist.

Quietly let Jasmine hug for a while.

When her mood stabilized, Jasmine sighed in her heart and said that she would be self-reliant, and the result was ......

She left Link's arms, turned around, and didn't speak, just kept her head down, and kicked the sand on the ground with her feet.

This scene was seen squarely by the five benevolent brothers and the social terror trio through the real-time reconnaissance screen of the circular flying saucer.

Everyone has different thoughts and feelings.

"It's over, the eldest sister is fascinated by the big guy, and she is deeply in love, and she can't extricate herself."

Buck. Watt couldn't speak more than his brain, and he couldn't help but say this.

Lynn. Hewitt barely resisted the impulse, so he didn't strangle Buck, but said coldly: "You have the ability, you say this sentence in front of the eldest sister." ”

Buck shuddered.

The title of eldest sister was just a title that came out of the five brothers eagerly changing their words at first, and it was biased towards joking.

Jasmine. Kidman's most commendable thing is her academic performance.

I studied hard with Link for a semester and a half, and I came out on top in my first year.

However, her disadvantage is obvious, that is, the comprehensive score of wizard qualifications is only above the third level.

The quality of wizard qualifications is not reflected in academic performance.

Rather, it is reflected in the speed of meditation, the speed of learning witchcraft, the degree of mastery, and the intensity of witchcraft.

It stands to reason that Jasmine's meditation progress should lag behind the five benevolent brothers whose wizard qualifications are all below the fifth rank.

It is impossible to compare the learning and application of witchcraft.

However, the reality is the opposite.

In the first two months of this semester, Link organized many witchcraft drills on the top floor of the experimental building.

Every time the five brothers faced Jasmine, they couldn't get the upper hand.

Sometimes not only do you not have the upper hand, but you will also be beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.

Even, before the start of the two-district competition, the five brothers failed to be promoted to the second-class wizard apprentice, and Jasmine actually quietly completed the promotion.

This surprised and surprised the five brothers.

The identity of the eldest sister has gradually become solid, no longer a joke, and it has a deterrent effect.

"Don't let the eldest sister know what I just said, brothers."

Buck was reminded by Lynn, and couldn't help but think of the unbearable past, and had a faint toothache, and quickly looked at the four good brothers pleadingly.

Because of his chatterboxing attributes, Buck often speaks without a brain.

Sometimes, somehow, it will provoke Jasmine.

Every time she practiced in actual combat, Jasmine beat Buck with extra energy.

Buck was naturally the most hurt.

"Don't worry!"

Ezio. Niche patted Buck the shoulder, solemnly promised.

Buck couldn't help but smile.

Ezio has a tough personality and usually doesn't talk much, but he attaches great importance to credibility and does what he says.

With Ezio's promise, Buck felt a lot safer.

Who knows that honest people play with their hearts, and they are more ruthless.

I heard Ezio say with a serious face: "We will definitely let the eldest sister know that Buck actually teased her just now." ”

"Don't!"

Buck played his upper body, his knees weakened, and he looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, "The eldest sister will kill me." ”

miserable, sad, and full of emotions.

It is really the grin of those who hear it, and the joy of those who see it.

"Okay, don't let the big guy and the big sister wait for a long time."

Lynn glanced at the social fear trio, who were not very comfortable with the five brothers, and reminded him that it was time to get down to business.

Buck took the lead, Ezio was second, Dejay was third, and the social terror trio was sandwiched in the middle, the almost hidden Dalton was the second-to-last, and after Lynn was broken, several people climbed the rope in turn, crossed the river, and came to the sandbar in the middle of the river.

"Big sister, hehe......"

The first time Buck landed, he smiled and greeted Jasmine.

"You're speaking ill of me again?"

Jasmine's mood has calmed down, and in front of Buck, she resumes her attitude of gradually transforming into a strong woman this semester.

"I didn't ...... No, I don't. How so? ”

Buck has a very bad habit of stammering when he is weak-hearted.

As soon as Jasmine heard this, she knew that Buck had made the old mistake of talking but not having a brain.

But she didn't care.

Just learn from Link, secretly make a note in my heart, and find a chance to take revenge next time.

Seeing this, Buck subconsciously touched his cheek.

Looks like we're going to be miserable again.

"Big guy, big sister."

The remaining four benevolent brothers and three social fears arrived one after another and greeted them in unison.

Anyway, what the brothers do, how to say, the three of them follow.

"Hmm."

Link nodded.

He looked at the rope that crossed the river and thought about what to do with it.

When everyone saw that Link was thinking about something, they stopped giggling and kept quiet.

Keep it, and when others look at it, they will know that there are people in the sandbar in the middle of the river, or someone has moved.

Suspicion together, or curiosity together, is very likely to have a landing exploration.

At that point, the chances of conflict breaking out are limitless.

If you don't stay, take it back now, and you have to find another way when you leave the Jiangxin sandbank.

After a few moments, Link had a choice, looking ahead to the present.

Don't go when your own people explore in front and get kicked in the ass.

He motioned for Dalton to steer the saucer down, modifying it slightly, adding a winding and shearing device to the bottom.

After the modification, Link personally controlled the round flying saucer, flew to the hill by the river, wound part of the rope first, then cut it, and then retrieved the rope.

As a result, only some traces were left on the hills.

The likelihood of exposure is greatly reduced.

Motioning to the five benevolent brothers and the three of them to tidy up the ropes, Link looked at Jasmine and asked, "Can you tell me about your key point now?" ”

Maybe it's because I haven't seen her for a long time, but in the face of Jasmine, Link's attitude has also changed, and there is some ridicule in his tone.

Jasmine quickly reacted, knowing that Link was teasing her for a bear hug when they met earlier, and then she was too shy to look up and speak.

She couldn't help but blush slightly, her silver teeth clenched slightly, and she glared at Link fiercely, giving a wide white eye.

What kind of person is this?

Girls are shy, and instead of showing gentleness and thoughtfulness, you still laugh?

I wish you a lifetime of singleness.

After a few words, Jasmine was too lazy to see dead wood,

deliberately raised his voice and put on a businesslike appearance, and said: "I have nothing to do to dig a tunnel, dig out an iron door hidden in the ground, and when I open the door, I see that inside is a secret passage with a large number of murals. At the end of the passage is a bronze door. ”

After a pause, Jasmine raised her voice: "The content recorded on the mural is the process and reason why this world is on the verge of collapse. The secret passages and bronze gates are a bit sinister and amplify emotions and tempt people to explore it. ”

When Link heard this, he immediately became intrigued.

Secret passages, frescoes, and bronze gates are the most classic elements of the adventure story.

If you can unravel the secrets hidden behind the murals and bronze gates, you may be able to greatly advance the progress of the third main quest, which is the main faction quest: Save the World.

"Big guy, the ropes are packed."

Buck was in a hurry to perform, and the next second the rope was arranged, he shouted to report,

Hoping to deepen his good impression in Link's heart.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, I can ask the big guy to come forward to "restrain the eldest sister" and not beat him too hard.

"Okay."

Link answered, and immediately made arrangements, "Let's enter the pit immediately, rest for a while, and then move after recovering from the state." You are still grouped, Jasmine and I as free men. ”

As he spoke, Link looked at Lynn and Dalton and emphasized, "You two have a very important mission, and you must be on guard. If anyone lands on the sandbank, I want you to be the first to find out and notify me. In addition, I am going to transfer two reconnaissance puppets. ”

"Yes, it's all up to the big guy."

Lynn didn't say a word, and immediately expressed his position.

"Me too."

Dalton followed.

"Lead the way, let's go down the tunnel to rest."

Link motioned for Jasmine to lead the way.

The tunnel was dug by her, and she was most familiar with the terrain.

Without saying a word, Jasmine turned around and led the team into the pit she had spent more than a day digging.

There were no external enemies, and Jasmine didn't pay much attention to the layout when digging the tunnel.

Except for the traffic trenches, which are relatively standardized, other aspects can only be barely passed.

The biggest advantage is flatness.

After all, Jasmine used secondary masonry, not a shovel.

Approaching the iron gate, Jasmine stopped.

She pointed to the more obvious traces of the earth wall and said, "Dig through the tunnel in front of me that I blocked, and you will see the iron gate." ”

"Hmm. Rest first. ”

Link was the first to unload the large bag he was carrying and began to rest.

After nearly five hours of continuous travel, everyone in the team was a little tired.

It is extremely important that all the unknown circumstances are about to be launched, and it is extremely important to get back to good condition.

The tools used for lighting in the tunnels are discarded magic stones.

Runic items and witchcraft are powered by magic.

Either the free mana is slowly drawn from nature, or the wizard's apprentice or wizard supplies it with his own mana, or it comes from the magic stone.

Some rune items and witch weapons are used more frequently, and they can't wait to slowly absorb them from nature to restore their mana reserves, and they are not suitable for consuming their own mana to supply, so they have to use magic stones.

For example, round flying saucers and reconnaissance golems.

After the magic power in the magic stone is consumed, it becomes a natural luminite stone.

A discarded magic stone the size of a thumb can illuminate a large area.

Extremely versatile.

Jasmine is used in the tunnel, which is timely.

Drinking, eating, chatting, closing your eyes and falling asleep......

Everyone on the team has their own way of resting.

Jasmine sat next to Link, and the feelings of anxiety, panic, and worry of the past two days were swept away.

Extremely peaceful.

It was as if I had a sense of security all of a sudden.

Sensing the change in her mood, Jasmine was quite helpless.

She really wants to be self-reliant!

I didn't feel anything when I was in the academy.

Less than two days after actually leaving Link, he behaved extremely uncomfortable.

Now that I think about it, she dared to pull with Wizard Ella to the limit, and delayed the time to give an affirmative answer with an ambiguous attitude, also because of Link by her side.

She was really moved, and felt that if she succeeded in joining the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association", she would help herself and Link develop.

Later, the facts were recognized.

The "New Blood Mutual Society" can only be the "New Blood Mutual Society" of the Paro Wizard.

Now that you've caught up with Wizard Paro, there's no need to get involved.

Miscellaneous things don't mention much.

In a more comfortable atmosphere, everyone got a full rest and was in a full state.

Then take action.

Dalton and Lynn remain where they are, monitoring the area around the sandbar and not participating in the expedition.

Link activates the active defense mode of the "Defender 3202" suit and goes to the front.

Jasmine was half a step behind Link and walked behind him to the left.

Dijay leads the social terror trio, sandwiched in the middle.

Buck and Ezio break off.

Several team members with an affinity for earth elements performed secondary masonry techniques one after another, and re-excavated the tunnel where the iron gate was located.

Even though Jasmine had already entered the secret passage once before, Link was still extremely vigilant.

He didn't directly open the iron door, but cast the thorn whip, controlled the thorns, and pulled the iron door open.

The moment the door opened, Link sensed the change.

Benefiting from the highest level of "brain occlusion", Link is very sensitive to his own emotions.

He clearly felt that there was an extremely subtle fluctuation that was stirring his emotions.

It was as if the devil was whispering in his ear, trying to arouse his greed.

"Be careful, control your emotions, and let everyone know as soon as you have extreme thoughts."

Link has no solution for the time being, so he can only send a reminder first.

"Yes."

Jasmine responded.

"Yes, big guy."

The team replied.

The words are different, but everyone is a little more vigilant.

Along the way, Link has issued similar reminders many times.

It turns out that some unnecessary troubles have been avoided after each reminder.

Authority has been inadvertently established.

With a thought in his mind, Link threw a few rounds of water and wood detoxification into the secret passage.

When he was sure that there were no toxins in the air in the secret passage, Link had a rough idea in his mind.

This is an effect similar to that of mental sorcery.

Mental sorcery can only be dealt with with mental sorcery.

Very troublesome.

Link was able to rely on "Occlumency" to ensure that he was not affected, but he was unable to take care of others.

This discovery made Link both tricky and surprised.

Where does the joy come from?

Before you enter the door, there are such vague "defense" measures, will the secrets hidden in it be small?

Faction missions may be a real hopeful.

Sending his teammates back a distance and pushing them into an unknown area of influence, Link enters the secret passage alone.

Start with the first mural on the left, see the approach to the bronze gate, and go back to the first fresco on the right.

Link spent a full half an hour.

Every detail has not been missed.

All twenty frescoes are firmly engraved in the Palace of Memory.

Leave it for review and verification at any time in the future.

After reading it, Link only had one emotion, if you don't do it, you won't die!

"How? How does it feel? Shocking, right? ”

The reason why Jasmine couldn't bear to tell Link and the others about the contents of the mural was to see the shock on Link's face at this time.

Endure it until now, but it can suffocate her.

Link shook his head and sighed with emotion: "Only the unexpected, there is nothing that can't be done." ”

This brainless conversation aroused the curiosity of the five brothers and the three social fears.

What is it about the mural that shocks the always calm boss?

I'd love to see it for myself.

"Let's go check it out, it's fine."

In the process of inspecting the mural, Link has determined that it is the paint used in the mural that provokes the mood swings.

After a long period of confinement, some smells are emitted when it encounters fresh air.

Now that it has been ventilated for a while, the smell is still there, but it has become very light, and the effect on mood has been much reduced.

As long as you don't do it yourself, such as sticking out your tongue to lick the mural, there will be no problem.

When everyone heard this, they immediately entered the secret passage and inspected the murals.

Then they exclaimed:

"I'm!"

"Can it still be like this?"
