Fog Castle.

Huey and Buckler, along with Christine and others, are discussing everything that is born today.

"Things are changing far beyond our imagination, and the Dardanelles are facing threats from all sides. Huey: If you can't think of a solution to the problem, we're going to have a hard time in the days ahead. Buckler said solemnly.

Christine also asked him, "What are you going to do with your relationship with Her Royal Highness Princess Avril Avril......?

"I'm not going to hurt her. Huey said with great certainty: "She's not sure I'm Huey Glerle yet." I can use the teleportation array technique, just like in Royo City, to have Hue Glare and Siser Darniel appear in two places at the same time to dispel her suspicions. That's also the time when I'm going to shoot Weston and Raschel, and count Bateson if necessary. ”

"Is it the solution, the question is, when is the right time?" Buckler asked.

Xiu Yi lowered her head and thought for a moment, "If Avril doubts me, she will definitely take the initiative to create a chance to meet me again." We just have to wait and see. ”

A strange color flew in Christine's eyes: "I can see that she has a deep affection for you." ”

Is it jealousy? or jealousy?

Huey didn't know.

He walked over and gently put his arm around Christine's waist, trying to make her feel that he cared for her, and used his actions to open the knot in her heart.

This method worked well, and Christine snuggled into his arms, her eyes showing deep affection.

......

The days that followed became somewhat monotonous and dreary.

Those who threatened the existence of Huey and the Dardanelles did not come to the door immediately, and the Dardanelles survived a rare period of peace.

There were two main events during this time. First, after negotiating with Xiuyi, the person in charge of each trading house officially bought the land near the magic academy and began the construction of the alchemy factory. The project for such a plant is not large, and it is expected that it will not be long before it is completed. Another thing is to go all out to crack the secrets of the castle.

For Xiuyi, cultivation is a long-term thing, and it can't make him a strong man immediately in a short period of time, but alchemy is different. In Winrington, a city in crisis, he desperately needs to strengthen his strength. He had thought that he was closer to the Lab than anyone else, with his Electra Notes and Laboratory, but when he racked his brains but couldn't find a solution to the problem, he finally began to realize that he was still too far away from the legendary Great Alchemist. This made him a little discouraged.

However, today, Nancy, who was far away in the valley laboratory, brought him a piece of good news: "I know that you have been working on the cracking of the Blood Sacrifice Circle recently, and you know that I can't help you in this regard. And, as you said, I searched every corner of the lab, and I didn't find any information on it. But today the Puppet Helper told me that it might be able to give you some good proposals. ”

Puppet Assistant?Xiu Yi didn't expect that the puppet assistant he had left in the laboratory would know about alchemy in this regard.

"Call it over. He said quickly.

The crystal ball revealed the massive head of Puppet Assistant Six.

He shook his head at the crystal ball and said, "Hello, my new master." ”

"I hope you have good news for me on Number Six. I mean, can you help me unlock the secrets of your former master's castle?"

"Oh, if you ask me about the Blood Circle and the castle, I don't have anything to tell you. ”

"So what can you tell me?" Huey wasn't angry, he knew that this thing had a very rigid brain.

"What I can tell you is some of my former master's understanding of alchemical mechanisms. ”

"Okay, you say, that helps my train of thought as well. ”

"Yes, my clever new master. Lady Nancy told me that you got another lab from my former master, but it was dangerous, and anyone who entered it at will would die. It reminds me of something my former master said. ”

"What?"

"He never advocated the deadly mechanism of alchemy. He believes that any trap should leave a way to survive and a way to break it. ”

"Very well, I think so too, Electra is not a murderer and should not be. And that statue should be the key. ”

"That's true, that's supposed to be the key to the lab. ”

"Keys?"

"Yes. My former owner had two basic habits when leaving his lab. One is to leave a powerful monster to look after, and another habit is to need a key to open it. This key is not necessarily a shaped key, but a condition that needs to be met. For example, the stone gate circle in the valley laboratory is the key. If you don't unlock the circle in the first place, you won't be able to enter the lab, or you'll be in for a terrible encounter. ”

"In other words, my current train of thought is correct, and if I don't solve the mystery of the statue and enter the laboratory, I will only end up in a dead end. ”

"That's right, but it's clear that you're doing something wrong. You focused your attention on the Blood Ritual Circle inside the statue. ”

"You think that's wrong?"

"My former owner played a very clever trick. He knew that anyone who coveted his lab was a fanatical pursuit of alchemy, and if there was a magic circle they hadn't seen before, they would definitely concentrate on cracking it. ”

"You mean, it's a trap, and I don't have to bother with the circle inside the statue?"

"Yes, I know my former master well, and he believes that the best alchemical trap lies not in the strength of the trap itself, but in the grasp of the human heart. So, if you're obsessed with alchemy, trying to crack a circle that you can't even touch, you're likely to never be able to solve his puzzle for the rest of your life. If you think about it another way, you may realize that things are not that difficult. ”

A glint flashed in Xiuyi's eyes: "Think differently......"

He looked down and thought for a moment before saying, "Six, what else did you understand about your former master?"

Six replied, "He always thought that he could add a lock to the door to knowledge, but the key to open that lock only needed to be kept secret." ”

It dawned on Xiuyi.

"Thank you very much, Six, without you, I might still be hovering over how to open the statue safely. But in fact, Electra told me that he didn't want anyone to destroy the castle. ”

So saying, he stood up and hurried towards the castle gates.

He still regretted it when he came, and all he had been thinking about all this time was how to safely open the statue, touch the blood ritual circle inside, and then crack the mechanism left by Electra so that he could safely enter the laboratory.

But in fact, Electra has long left a way and a way to enter the laboratory. The purpose of that statue is not to destroy, it is a key. The key should be reusable. It exists to open doors, not to be destroyed.

From the very beginning, Xiu Yi fell into a misunderstanding of thinking.

The disappearance of the bloodstains may not be a hint, but a hint that Electra deliberately left on it, but Huey thinks that he has inadvertently revealed this big secret, so he finds the key, but never realizes the original intention of the key.

Standing in front of the statue of the four-winged tusk at the entrance of the castle, Xiu Yi observed the two statues repeatedly.

These two stone statues are hideous in appearance, with sharp teeth protruding, wide wings, and majestic momentum. In the past, Xiu Yi had not carefully observed their existence, but now that Xiu Yi had taken a closer look, the teeth of the two stone statues were slightly different.

The stone statue on the right has a small inward curved tooth than the one on the left, and you won't notice it if you don't look closely.

Xiui stepped forward and tried to pull the little tooth but there was no movement.

He thought for a moment, pointing to the small tooth with his mouth wide open towards the stone statue.

Xiui could feel a small bump in the statue's mouth.

Press it down hard, and the bulge disappears into the beast's mouth.

"Is this okay?" said Huey, a little confused. He sensitively sensed that it shouldn't be that simple, as Assistant Six said, Electra's alchemical trap was aimed at the human heart, not the mechanism itself. By the time you feel like you're done, maybe it's not enough.

After thinking about it, Xiui came to the stone statue on the left.

Circling around the stone statue, Xiu Yi suddenly appeared, and the stone statue's eyes seemed to change color. The eyes that used to be gray are now slightly red.

With a slight movement in his heart, Xiu Yi pressed hard against the eyes of the stone statue.

At the same time, the two stone eyes shrank inward, and a dull sound came from the inside of the tower, not far away, like the sound of gears turning.

Xiu Yi let out a long exhale, and this was the complete way to close the laboratory mechanism.

If anyone thinks that finding the bulge on the right is a complete task, he is very wrong.

The stone statue on the left is actually the way to turn off the laboratory mechanism, while the stone statue on the right is actually the mechanism that starts the stone statue on the left. The traps set by Electra are interlocking, and if one is not careful, he will be fooled.

Someone may have revealed the secret of the statue before, but ignored the eyes of the statue on the left. As a result, after entering the laboratory, he still encountered an accident.

If it weren't for the reminder of the puppet assistant, Xiu Yi might not have been able to reveal this secret for the rest of his life, of course, even if it did, it might just be a dead end.

Standing in front of the tower, Xiui knew it was time for adventure.

Putting his finger in his mouth, Xiu Yi let out a loud whistle.

Red and green swirled in the air and flew down to his shoulder.

Asahi screamed madly and rushed out of the unknown corner and threw himself into his arms.

The Black Samurai and the Undead Rat also appeared in the tower, waiting for Xiui's orders.

Despite the closure of all the lab's organs, Huey was prepared for all the dangers before entering the lab.

"Alright, friends, it's time to explore with me. Xiu Yi said in a rambling voice.
