Chapter 39: The Trials of the Temple of Gaerapo (12) Triggered
"What?" all the team members exclaimed, and they all looked at Xuan Qingyi with confused expressions. Sarah asked him, "How did you know that this is the temple of prayer?"
"Here!" Xuan Qingyi said, pointing to the jar, "these carved words are in ancient Abanian language. It is an ancient hymn about the prayers of the devout faithful to the Lord God, Hathor, who bestowed his blessings on his most loyal people with holy water. ”
"Oh my God, that's boring, can't you just carve something nutritious?" said Jerry, sitting on the ground holding the golden statue, "Hey, you still haven't explained how you know for sure this is the Temple of Prayer." (Abania: An ancient language.) Spread in the western Andes Mountains, it almost disappeared from the continent of Middle-earth around 800 BC. )
"Don't worry. The point is this jar, I've read some things about Hathorism when I've been looking up some religious history books before. So I've seen pictures and introductions of this jar in books. This jar is called a holy water bottle by the Khathor followers, and there is only one way to identify it, and that is hymns. According to historical records, hymns were extremely sacred to the Hathorids, and were only allowed to be carved in extremely sacred places, such as this jar. It is a ritual vessel used in sacrifices, and the water contained in this bottle is the holy water that the Lord God has given to people, which can heal injuries and diseases, and bring infinite strength to people. ”
"Is there really such a good thing? Come, let me see if there is any holy water in it. Jerry's eyes lit up and he sprang up from the ground.
"After all these years, how can there be any 'leftover water' in there?" Sarah asked, "and what does this have to do with the Temple of Prayer?"
"According to records, the Lord God would give holy water to the most devout people only when the many Khathorites prayed. So I guess it's a prayer hall. Xuan Qingyi looked around after speaking, and continued, "It's just that where will the final content of our exam be?"
"It turned out to be a prayer hall, and it seems that the Hathorites were badly ravaged by the Byzantines. Not far away, three people, two men and one woman, led by a boy with long hair, the gorgeous mage's robe danced in the wind with a hint of magic light, setting off his slender figure, and a pair of dove-gray pupils indifferently scanned the ruins.
"Excuse me, who are you?" asked Renon as he turned his head to stare at the three uninvited guests.
"Do you need to ask? Just like you. A boy with a hedgehog head stepped forward and said. After saying that, he ignored Ruinon and the six of them, and went to a high rock pile in the ruins to look around.
Ruinon looked depressed and thought: I know that you are in the exam, I mean you are in the number one team of which class......
"It's too easy to find the number plate in this ruin, isn't it?, but the question is where will the teacher hide the number plate?" the girl spoke, her voice as shrill as a tweeter.
The long-haired boy pointed and ordered, "Then look for John, go over there, Morissa, go there!"
Xuan Qingyi looked at Jerry, who was sitting on the ground, looked around again, snapped his fingers, beckoned Ruinon and them to come over and whispered, "Before they came, we basically searched through this ruin, but we couldn't find anything suspicious or anything like a number plate." ”
"Yes! This is not the way to go, are we going to cooperate with them? Peter Gay glanced at the two figures who were rummaging through the rubble not far away.
"No, I think we have a decisive item here. It's a good idea to do some research before doing so, and I've roughly guessed the key parts of the exam. Xuan Qingyi mysteriously stared at Jerry sitting on the ground.
"What? do you know?" asked Sarah, staring at Xuan Qingyi in surprise.
"Because it doesn't make sense?" said Ruinon with his hand on his chin.
"Oh yes, you guys don't play dumb riddles. Just say what you want!" Jerry said, hugging the golden statue tightly, "What's the key? ”
"Renon is right, there are two things that are unreasonable. One is the irrationality of something, and the other is the unreasonableness of this exam! You think about it, this is a building destroyed by the ancient Byzantines, and countless explorers, archaeologists, and thieves have visited this place for hundreds of years, and it stands to reason that this golden statue and holy water bottle could not have been left behind, and they were not hidden deeply. And then there's this exam...... I don't know what kind of monsters you've encountered on the way to Cyber Mountain, at least we've encountered monsters that can't be fought by a team of three people alone, such as the skeleton mage......" Xuan Qingyi said meaningfully, "You have all found out, right? This exam is not an exam that can be completed by a team, but an exam that can be completed by multiple teams working together." ”
"Oh, then I'll go and say hello to them, and the more a team will have more hope. I really don't know what kind of difficulties Lu Dao will have next. Peter nodded in thought.
Xuan Qingyi pressed his hand on Peter's shoulder and said, "I said that there is no rush first, and you can see their attitude towards Ruinon just now, are they the kind of people who will cooperate with us?"
"That's right!"
Jerry stood up and said, "Hey, hey, wait, Xuan Qingyi, did you mean to say that there is something wrong with this golden statue of mine?"
"Don't you think it's suspicious that such an unusual object has survived the sack of the Byzantine army and the search of archaeologists and explorers for centuries?"
"Maybe it really wasn't discovered!"
"It's too low. Jerry, do you remember how we found this statue? Half of its head is exposed. After saying that, Renon came to the golden statue and squatted down, stretched out his hand and hovered above the statue's head, probing this "historical artifact" with his telekinesis.
Jerry couldn't help but say, "What did you find?" I said, it's not anything exam-related at all, okay! ”
"No, Jerry. I'm sorry to announce to you that this golden statue is a fake. Rui Nong said seriously.
"What?"
"I said the gold statue was fake. Jerry, this is not a gold statue, but a container. To be precise, it's a magic container that stores our squad's numbered plates. There is a magic circle that simulates this container into an item, so what it is ......"
"Damn! No, that's. Jerry's eyes widened like goldfish.
Ronon ignored Jerry's shouting and used a counterspell on the "Golden Statue", and a chaotic fluctuation of telekinesis came, and the dazzling shell of the "Golden Statue" began to slowly melt, and a black stone slab appeared in front of everyone.
"This ...... What is this!" everyone said in unison.
I saw that the black stone slab in front of me was inlaid with these three wooden signs, and around the signs were circles of magic arrays carved with magic crystal dust, shining with a strange light.
"What is this magic circle for? Could it be an illusion array? If Ruinon's counter-spell destroys the illusion array, then this magic circle cannot be in a working state. Poirot, Guy, let's see what kind of circle this is. Xuan Qingyi rolled up his sleeves and squatted down to take a closer look at this mysterious magic circle.
"This seems to be a trap trap circle. If we pick up a random wooden card, it will cause an explosion. Jerry said in a deep voice.
"It's really fake, don't lie to us. Sarah looked at Jerry quizzically.
"It's not meant to be sensational. When I was studying in the library, I saw a similar explosion trap circle. Moreover, this magic circle was activated when Renon disarmed the illusion circle, and anyone who took out any of the wooden cards would start the mechanism. Jerry said seriously.
"Can you disarm this magic circle?" Rynon asked.
"No! I saw that the book didn't explain how to crack a similar trap circle. Jerry shook his head and asked, "Who of us here is better at magic formation?"
Guys, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all shake their heads and sigh.
"Hey, let's think of something else. Renon sighed as he looked around.
"If we accidentally trigger the magic circle, will we be killed?" asked Sarah.
"I don't think that's the end of the magic circle like this, but these wooden cards will definitely be destroyed. Unless we can take the wooden card out of the safe range instantly. Jerry replied as he reached out thoughtfully to pick up the black slate from the ground. Just as Jerry's hand touched the slate, a dazzling flash lit up.
"Ahh When everyone came back to their senses, they were surprised to find that a white glowing number "7" appeared on a wooden sign near Jerry's hand.
"It's ......," Jerry opened his mouth in surprise
"This is the number of our squad, what is there to fuss about. Rinon said as he put his hand on another wooden card, the difference being that it didn't light up with any numbers.
Or ...... To be removed at the same time. Xuan Qingyi said as he came to the stone slab and put his hand on it, and at this moment the second wooden card lit up and showed the number "12", "I think these three wooden cards represent the three teams that arrived here." Each wooden tile can only correspond to one team. That's right, that's it. Let's think about everything we've encountered before, and there are four words that imply it everywhere: teamwork. And the layout of these three wooden cards implies that the three teams that arrive here must work together to take the three wooden cards out of the magic circle in order to pass the level together! That's right, this is the exam question. ”
Sarah looked at Xuan Qingyi suspiciously, and asked, "Are you 100% sure?"
"If you don't take it out at the same time, then this question doesn't make any sense. Xuan Qingyi glanced at him and said, "Because if you don't take them out at the same time, then these wooden cards will definitely be destroyed in the explosion of the magic array, so there is only this one possibility." ”
"Then I'll go and talk to them right now so that I can get the numbered plate for the exam as soon as possible. With that, Guy strode over to the boy with the long hair, for he looked more like the leader of the squad.
Jerry put the slate down and stood in the distance, staring warily at Guy and discussing with the team leader. After a while, they nodded, and walked over to Jerry.
The girl said in a very high-pitched voice, "This is what our exams are all about?" ”
Jerry frowned and thought, "Oh my God, I wonder why she's not going to be a soprano and learning some kind of combat magic." He thought about it and didn't say it, he was afraid of losing this hard-won partner. Jerry shook his head and put his hands on his waist and said, "It's easy to say, but it's not as easy as you imagined." The difficulty is how our three squads can take the number plate out of the magic circle at the same time. ”
The hedgehog-headed boy stepped forward and said in a provocative tone, "It's amazing that you have not only failed to disarm the trap for so long, but you have not yet found a way to protect the number plate, but you have come up with such a stupid solution!"
"You ......," Jerry couldn't help but want to go up and beat the boy with the hedgehog head, but Rainon grabbed him. Rui Nong suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked, "So you have already thought of a better way than us?"
Ruinon's words fell, and Xuan Qingyi and the others also looked at the hedgehog-headed boy with angry eyes. The air was instantly filled with the smell of gunpowder, as if it could explode at any moment. That's right, there's an open flame missing now. But Ruinon they just come what they lack, this open flame is the boy with long hair, I don't know if this should be considered lucky or unlucky?
"I'm sorry that John in our squad is always so outspoken. I beg your pardon. The long-haired boy spoke, and his words added fuel to the fire rather than lightening the atmosphere.
"As long as you come up with a way that works, we'll forgive you. Xuan Qingyi said coldly, he bent down and picked up the stone slab from the ground.
"Ah, I just forgot to introduce myself, under the surname Smith, the first name is Bart. Your name is Bart. Bart Smith stepped forward and pressed his hand back on the stone tablet, and the last wooden sign emitted a flash of light, and the large number "17" appeared on it with a blinding white light.
"What about your method?" Xuan Qingyi asked coldly.
"Don't worry, don't you all have a scroll?"
"yes! What can this teleportation scroll do?"
"Whoever of you prepares the teleportation scroll, then hold one end of the slate and the teleportation scroll with your left hand, and hold the number 17 wooden card and the other end of the teleportation scroll with your right hand. Like this. Bart said as he demonstrated, "As soon as you exert your right hand, the number 17 wooden card will break away from the stone slab and the teleportation scroll will activate. You haven't forgotten, have you? What did the teacher say before entering the exam room? As soon as you open the scroll, the teleportation array will be activated, which can teleport you, including you and your teammates, as well as any items on your body out of the exam room. How? The magic array that exploded was teleported out, but the numbered plate remained. ”
Jerry looked at Bart with a smile and said, "yes, why don't I think of such a good way?" Why don't you try it and hold down the scroll and the number seven number plate with your right hand!"
"Are you ordering me, civilian?" Bart said in a soft tone as he stared into Jerry's eyes with wide dove-gray pupils.
"Jerry, be careful!" Hearing the soft words, Rainon had a bad feeling, and he hurriedly reminded loudly.
