Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mural Mechanism: The Correct Order of the Story
A rotunda with a vaulted dome and walls covered with frescoes in a strange style.
On the floor of the hall lay a row of stone pedestals, which should have been the foothold of those gargoyles.
At the same time, the old director and astrologer Elon Musk, the four priests of the church who guarded the relics, as well as Elton, and several agents from the Raventown Investigation Bureau, as for the other probationary judgment warriors were nowhere to be found.
The rest of the people looked embarrassed, scarred, and frightened.
Several people looked stunned when they saw Cross and Downing entering the door.
Astrologer Elon Musk was the first to come back to his senses and was pleasantly surprised.
"How did you get in?"
Cross shrugged.
"As Stewart said when he was taunted by you when he quit the team, believe him, he found the best way. ”
Everyone present was flushed and looked embarrassed.
After a while, the old director broke the calm and briefly introduced what happened to the previous people.
After they entered, they encountered countless battles, and all the trainee judgment warriors died, and finally broke through to this place with holy relics, and took a break to recuperate.
"Entering through the wrong door and being attacked is not something that is unexpected. Downing thought to himself.
Seeing that Cross's eyes were already on the mural, he followed him to one of the murals to admire, the abstract style of painting was a little difficult to understand.
"Iron Cross Brotherhood ......"
Looking at the first mural, Cross exclaimed in surprise.
Downing looked at the mural as a dense number of men with iron spears and axes, whose iron helmets were faintly visible in the cross, and the Iron Cross Brotherhood was referring to these people.
And these people with iron spears and giant axes are opposite the old men in cloaks with a frightened expression, some people are holding scepters and trying to resist, and their heads are cut off by the giant axe, and a star pattern can be seen on the cloaks of these old men.
It's the school of astrologers!
"The Iron Cross Brotherhood is a supernatural organization that worships force and believes in Ares, the god of war, and is more like a group of bandits, led by the tyrant Zarate, whose emblem is their emblem. ”
As if sensing that the young man was a little confused, Cross patiently explained.
This is followed by the second mural.
A group of old and young men wore purple cloaks, kneeling on the ground, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, and under the dark clouds was a huge hall, and the purple cloak was embroidered with a one-horned black goat.
"Faun Hermitage ......"
Downing immediately thought of the supernatural force organization he had heard from the agent earlier.
And in the huge hall under the dark clouds, there are also some vague villains, and the North Star pattern can be vaguely seen.
Cross pondered for a long time before speaking.
"It seems that the sworn enemies of the astrologer school are not only the Faun hermitages, but also the Iron Cross Brotherhood, which is an alliance between the Iron Cross Brotherhood and the Faun hermitage to attack the astrologer school. ”
Downing thinks so too!
Move your feet......
This is followed by the third image.
Strong men with huge axes and spears and helmets stood in front of a pool of water, in various shapes.
"The Iron Cross Brotherhood has won. ”
Cross explained, moving on to the next one.
A large crowd of people are sitting at the huge dining table enjoying the delicious food, and some are raising their glasses in celebration with the old and young people embroidered with the one-horned black goats embroidered on their cloaks.
"The Faun Monastery is also the winner, celebrating the victory. ”
And then the fifth picture!
An old man wearing a cloak with a pattern of the North Star knelt on the ground, and a dignified man sat on the throne in front of him, with a one-horned black goat on the cloak.
"The astrologer school bowed down to the armrest of the Faun hermitage. “
A total of five drawings are described, all of which are described at the end.
Downing touched these age murals with his fingers, and as an archaeological enthusiast in the past, he had a special affection for these things.
When I touched the lower right corner, my body trembled.
"It's a ...... of organs"
A slightly convex spherical stone that can be pressed down.
Re-examining the remaining drawings reveals that such a spherical stone is present in the lower right corner of each one.
At the same time, a new discovery was made in the fourth picture, an inconspicuous figure in the corner of the dining table, and the North Star pattern could be faintly seen on the person's cape.
Cross also discovered the mechanism.
"You just need to press the buttons in the order of the drawings. “
The old bureau chief and others who had rested for a while also gathered around.
Astrologer Elon Musk explains.
"We've found out about this, and we've interpreted the mural exactly the same as you, except that we've discussed it and taken a break in light of what happened to us. ”
Tang Ning snickered when he heard this.
"It's clear that I was beaten by fat before, this will be honest, and I don't dare to try it easily. ”
Cross frowned, walked to the first picture and quickly pressed it, and then tried to press the round stone of the second picture, but was stopped by Downing.
Cross was puzzled, but he was respectful of the young man's opinion in light of what had happened before.
"Have you made a discovery?"
Before Tang Ning could express his position, a first-level detective of Raven Town, who had only regained his strength, looked disdainful and said in a mocking tone.
"Of course the cowards have to do everything they can to stop it. ”
With that, he reached out and pressed down on the stone in the second picture.
When the second stone was pressed, everything was calm.
Seeing this, the first-level detective of Raven Town turned his head and glanced proudly at the young hillbilly from Red Leaf Town.
When he was complacent, countless cold lights flashed on the stone slab under the mural.
It was countless sharp blades that pierced the body of the first-level detective from the bottom up.
There was a crunch sound under the rest of the floor in the hall at the same time.
This scene caused everyone to quickly retreat, and at the same time, the originally open stone door quickly closed.
The hall was silent.
Everyone looked at each other.
A moment later, the cold front protruding from beneath the second mural was withdrawn, and the body of the first level inspector fell.
The ball on the second mural bounces up, and the trap resets.
This time, no one dared to try it lightly.
A moment later, astrologer Elon Musk walked up to the closed stone door and rubbed his fingers against the pattern on the surface of the stone door.
"It's an astrological magic circle, and once it's closed, you have to find the spell of the astrological magic circle to open it. ”
Even the only path was blocked.
The atmosphere was a bit somber.
There is a Bureau of Investigation agent in Raven Town reminding the ruling knight Elton.
"You can use the holy relics to open the door. ”
Elton laughed to himself.
"The relics have been used before, and they can't be used again for at least seven days, so we have to stay here for seven days. ”
Seven-day ......
No food may be acceptable, but without water, you will die in less than three days.
Now everyone is on the verge of despair.
Hearing what everyone said, Tang Ning suddenly regretted finding this correct path, maybe staying outside as a coward was the best decision.
But there will be no regret pills anymore!
You have to find the correct order of mechanisms.
After a moment of hesitation, he mustered up the courage to walk over to the fifth picture, and reached out to press the cobblestone down.
