Chapter Twenty-Four: Another Story Version and Black Drapery
"Don't move, you're going to kill everyone here, these slabs are full of blades. ”
Elton snapped to stop.
At the same time, Kroos came up and pressed the young man's shoulder, but he was not there to stop the young man.
"Stewart, tell me what the plan is, I'll carry it out, ignore the warnings of others, now we have no choice. ”
Downing was moved that Cross was willing to bear the punishment for his mistake once.
He nodded.
After seeing this scene, Elton and the others stood on the gargoyle pedestal that was vacant at this moment. His face was full of anger.
"Madman, you will pay a terrible price for your irresponsible actions, and don't expect us to erect a monument for you when we leave here. ”
Cross ignored these words, and when he saw the young man nod, he stepped forward to look at the stone slab at his feet, and slowly pressed the cobblestone on the fifth picture.
When pressed, there was a roar in the ground, but the sounds seemed to be far from the ground, which was clearly a favorable sign.
This scene surprised everyone hiding on the gargoyle pedestal.
"The guess is right. “
Downing's confidence soared.
He quickly pointed to the cobblestone button in the second picture.
Cross was also more confident, and walked over to the second picture and quickly pressed it.
The sound of the ground continued to move away, still a favorable signal.
Tang Ning's tense heart was put down, knowing that once he made a mistake just now, the only person who trusted him would be stabbed into a hornet's nest.
Then he pointed to the third picture!
Cross stepped forward and pressed.
This time there was no movement.
Only the fourth picture remained, and Cross did not wait for the young man's instructions, and went up and pressed it directly.
According to the normal situation, at this time, the mechanism should be cracked and something open.
But...... Still no response.
"Is it wrong?"
Tangning muttered to himself.
Suddenly, the ground trembled, and the gargoyle pedestal began to move.
The crowd on the gargoyle pedestal hurriedly jumped down.
As the gargoyle pedestal moved, a faint glow flickered on the wall, and the wall where the light was located slowly moved to be a stone door.
That's right!
When the entire stone door opened, everyone present looked at the young second-level agent from Momiji Town who provided the idea, and looked surprised.
Cross was equally confused.
"The order of the frescoes is 15234...... How did you find out?"
Tang Ning smiled.
"If, according to the story you told, there is something wrong with the pattern in the fourth picture, which depicts someone at the banquet table with the North Star on his cloak and a smile on the face of the person with the North Star pattern, then it is clear that the fourth picture means that the Faun hermitage and the astrologer school have won the war together and celebrate together, then the astrologer school is not a loser. ”
"Now that they have achieved a common victory, and the rival enemy, the Iron Cross Brotherhood, has failed, then on behalf of the Faun Hermitage and the School of Astrologers, the Raven Agent on our way here said that the two did negotiate, which is one of the proofs that provide the idea. ”
"In this way, the previous story is completely wrong, and these five pictures represent a different story. ”
[In the first picture, the Iron Cross Brotherhood attacks the astrologer school, which is at a disadvantage and the situation is critical]
[In the fifth picture, the astrologer school asks for help from its ally, the Faun Retreat, and is not subservient]
[In the second picture, the requested Faun hermitage came to help in the battle, using the illusion they are good at to hide the miracle building of the astrologer school, and the dark clouds represent illusions]
This also explains a doubt in Tang Ning's mind before.
The miracle of the astrologer school of illusion, why did the miracle of the illusion lake appear, now it seems that it is a legacy of this battle.
[In the third picture, the illusion hides the miracle of the astrologer school, and the Iron Cross brotherhood who cannot break through the illusion will be blocked by the illusion, seeing the astrologer school being flooded by the lake in front of them, losing their goal, and then evacuating, because the faces of those people on the third picture are not the excitement after victory, but panic and suspicion, which is one of the bases for judgment]
[In the fourth picture, the school of astrologers survived the catastrophe and celebrated the victory with their allies]
Receiving a forceful explanation, the ruling warrior Elton turned sallow and a little overwhelmed.
Those who had been disdainful before were all silent, remembering the embarrassing atmosphere of mockery before.
Cross came up and patted the young man on the shoulder, looking playful and lowering his voice.
"No one dares to despise you and the agents of the Red Leaf Town Investigation Bureau anymore, well done. ”
Then he stepped through the newly opened secret door.
Downing followed in.
The candles on the walls of the passage inside the secret door are only wicks, which are still burning and glowing.
Curious, he reached out and touched the lampstand, muttering quietly.
"Only the wick is left to burn. ”
A peaceful voice came from behind him.
"It's a supernatural power that's not too profound, and it's called the lamp of life. A large amount of still warm blood is removed from the blood vessels, added with alcohol, and chemically processed to make candles. Once ignited, it is never extinguished until the party to which the blood belongs dies, when he is sick or in danger, the flame becomes dim and chaotic, and when he dies, it is completely extinguished. ”
is a third-level agent of the Raven Town Investigation Bureau who was previously disdainful.
There was a pause, a little shy.
"Front...... Sorry, you know we've been through danger, so we're a bit grumpy. ”
Tang Ning looked back and smiled.
However, it can be known from the explanation of the other party just now.
The people who lit the candles here are still alive!
The miracle was sealed for two hundred years, which means that the candle burned for two hundred years, and the man lived for two hundred years and was in good spirits.
At this time, someone came up and grabbed him.
It's the old director.
He took out a small reagent bottle and opened it, pouring out a strangely colored liquid from it and applying it to Downing's temples.
Cool and refreshing.
The old director saw the vigilance of the young man, and explained mildly with a smile.
"Good luck cool oil made with a mixture of cold cream and rose water and swallow's feathers, smear yourself with this and all men will love you and be kind to you. You can stop the quarrels between all the people you meet. ”
Tang Ning was stunned.
"I'm not a. ”
But it's a good thing to be able to stop everyone from arguing.
The change in everyone's attitude towards Downing made things a lot easier, and the gaps within the team only served bad things.
Only Elton, the ruling knight, and the four cardinals of the church who never spoke, were always vigilant.
It's not Downing's fault, the Bureau of Investigation system's relationship with the church has always been mediocre.
Walking along the bright passageway, a large hall in front of you soon came into view.
The sight in the hall was unpleasant.
Countless people were hung upside down from the dome of the hall, and they had been turned into skeletons, and the Iron Cross could be seen from their clothing, and it was clear that they were members of the Iron Cross Brotherhood after the defeat of the year.
A platform on the ground floor of the hall.
On the platform was something the size of a human head, covered by a black curtain.
Not surprisingly, Cross took the lead, walking up alone and reaching out to lift the black curtain above.
