The lid of the suitcase maintained a gloomy yet determined expression. It has no demands on this world, except for the complete destruction of all other forms of life, but what it needs most now is its master.
Shalifa's treasure trove is easy to identify - this room is frighteningly empty. The door hung on the hinge, and the wooden sealed niche was also pried open. Many boxes that have been smashed by people are scattered everywhere. This scene suddenly made Lingsifeng feel a little guilty. He spent about two seconds pondering where the suitcase had gone.
There was a respectful silence in the room. There are always moments like this when someone loses a lot of money. Nagil shook aside and poked the nearby boxes, hoping to find the dark grid according to the instructions in Chapter 11.
Konina bent down and picked up a small copper coin.
It's really scary, "Lingsifeng said in the end," a treasure trove without treasures
Shalifa stood up with a bright smile on her face. Don't worry, "he said.
But all your money has been stolen! "Said Konina.
It's those servants, I guess, "said Corrizo," they're too disloyal
Ling Sifeng gave him a strange look and said, 'Don't you feel worried?'
Not very impressive. I didn't have much money to spend originally. I've always been curious about what it feels like to be poor
Now you have plenty of opportunities to try
Do you need special training
There's no need, "Ling Sifeng said," I'll do it in front of nature. "An explosion could be heard from afar, and part of the ceiling turned into jelly.
Uh huh, excuse me, "Jill said," the flying carpet we just mentioned
That's right, "Konina said," flying carpet
Korisso gave them a friendly smile with a hint of drunkenness.
Ah, that's right. Flying carpet. The treasure with pink buttocks at Desert Dawn, press the nose of the statue behind you
Konina blushed and followed the instructions to the green statue of the crocodile god Ovler, completing the somewhat profane action.
Nothing happened. The hidden compartment insists on not appearing.
Hmm. Try using your left hand
She tried to twist it. Korisso scratched his head.
Maybe it's the right hand, maybe
If I were you, I would definitely try my best to remember these things clearly, "Konina said sternly, her previous move still not working." There are not many parts left that I am willing to touch
What's that over there? "Ling Sifeng asked.
If that's not the tail, how can I deal with you? "Konina said and kicked it.
Metal moans could be heard from afar, as if a frying pan had been injured. The statue began to tremble, followed by something loudly pounding in the wall. The crocodile god Ovler moved heavily to the side, with a passage behind him.
Grandfather built it to house those interesting treasures, "said Cory Cableway." He's very - "he pondered for a while -" very resourceful
If you think I would go into such a place, "Ling Sifeng said.
Stand aside, "Nagil said proudly," I'll go first
There may be a mechanism inside - "Konina was somewhat suspicious. She glanced at Sharifa.
Oh, very likely, my gazelle from heaven, "he said." I haven't been inside since I was six years old. There are a few floors that are better off not stepping on, I remember
Don't worry, "Nagil glanced at the pitch black passage," I believe there won't be any traps that can escape my sight
I have quite a lot of experience in this area, huh? "Lingsifeng said sourly.
Well, I can recite Chapter 14 from beginning to end. It even comes with illustrations, "Nagil plunged into the shadow.
They waited for several minutes. The situation at that time could roughly be described as a terrifying silence, with only occasional banging and suppressed groans coming from the passage. Finally, Nagil's voice echoed from afar all the way to the entrance of the cave.
There's nothing inside, really, "he said." I've tried everything. It's as stable as a stone. It must be completely stuck or something
Lingsifeng and Konina exchanged a glance.
He knows nothing about institutions, "she said." When I was five years old, my father once filled a road with traps and asked me to walk from head to toe just to teach me -
He went all the way, right? "Lingsifeng asked.
There is movement. The sound was like wet fingers dragging across the glass, but it was only magnified a billion times. The floor also trembled.
Anyway, we have no other choice. "He plunged into the passage, and the others followed immediately. Many people who understand Lingsi Feng see him as a two legged canary. Any miner would be willing to take him down to the mine. It is generally believed that if Lingsi Feng still stands upright and does not escape, then there is still hope.
That's really interesting, "said Cory Cableway." I stole my own treasure. If I catch myself, I can have someone throw me into a snake pit
But you can beg for your own mercy, "Konina glanced suspiciously at the dusty stone carvings.
Oh, no. I think I'll teach me a lesson and make sure I don't dare to do it again
With a click above their heads, a small piece of slate slid open, and the rusty metal hook swayed slowly down. A stick creaked and bounced out of the wall, tapping on Lingsifeng's shoulder. The wizard quickly turned around, and the previous hook took the opportunity to stick a yellow notice on his back, then retracted back to the ceiling.
What did it do? What did it do? "Lingsifeng screamed as she read through her shoulder blades.
It says, kick me, "Konina said.
Beside the stunned wizard, a wall slid upwards. Behind a complex set of metal joints, a big foot wearing boots weakly swayed a few times before completely breaking off from the knee.
The three of them silently watched it. Finally, Konina commented, "Our opponent is a stubborn guy, it's obvious
Lingsifeng carefully removed the notice and let it fall to the ground. Konina pushed him away and strode forward with a cautious expression of anger. A metal hand reached out from the spring and swayed towards her in a friendly manner, but she didn't shake hands with the other person. Instead, she followed the wire that had peeled off and found a large glass jar with a pair of corroded electrodes inside.
Does your grandfather have a good sense of humor? "She asked.
Oh, yes, I always like to find opportunities to have fun, "said Ke Rui Cableway.
Oh, great. "Konina cautiously poked a slate; In Lingsifeng's view, it is no different from its compatriots at all. The spring somewhere hummed pitifully a few times, and a feather duster with fallen feathers trembled as it extended from the wall, reaching a height exactly equivalent to a person's armpit.
I really want to get to know this former Sharif, "Konina gritted her teeth and said," but not just to shake hands with him. You'd better help me build a Mazza, wizard
Sorry
Konina pointed at the half open stone door ahead, her face full of impatience.
I want to take a look at that top, "she said." You just need to hold both hands together so I can stand on top, understand? How could you be so useless
Being useful always gets me into trouble, "murmured Lingsifeng. Konina's warm body rubbed against his nose, and the wizard tried to ignore it.
He could hear her standing steadily on the door.
As expected, "she said.
What is it? A terrifying spear hanging in the air
No
Sharp fences, ready to pierce at any time -
It's a bucket, "Konina said coldly. She pushed it.
What? Is there something hot and poisonous inside
Lime water. It's just lime water that has been stored for a long time and has solidified, "Konina jumped down.
Truly a grandfather, "said Cory Cableway," never bored
Hmph, I've had enough, "Konina pointed to the end of the passage, her tone firm." Follow me, you two
They arrived about three feet away from the exit, and Lingsifeng suddenly felt the air above him move. Konina pushed him hard on the waist and led him into the room behind the passage. When he landed, he rolled and something scraped his feet. At the same time, a loud bang was deafening.
The entire ceiling, a four foot thick large stone, fell into the passage.
Lingsifeng crawled through the rolling dust and then extended a trembling finger to decipher the handwriting engraved on one side of the slate.
Keep laughing, "he read.
Lingsi Feng sat back on the ground.
Truly a grandfather, "said Korisso cheerfully," always like this -
He received Konina's gaze and noticed that it was strong and powerful like a lead pipe, so he cleverly closed his mouth.
Nagil appeared in the smoke, coughing incessantly.
I said, what's going on? "He asked," Is everyone okay? It wasn't like this when I went over
Lingsifeng pondered for a long time, but the best response he could come up with was, 'Are you serious?'
There are several windows with wooden strips attached near the high ceiling, and light enters the room through the gaps. The only way out is to pass through the hundreds of tons of stones blocking the passage, or to put it another way - which is also Lingsifeng's personal preference - they are undoubtedly trapped. He relaxed slightly.
At least the problem with the flying carpet has been solved. It was rolled up into a bundle and placed on a rising stone slab in the center of the room. Beside it was a shiny little oil lamp, and - Lingsifeng stretched his neck to finally see it clearly - a small gold ring. He moaned. All three things are shrouded in a faint eighth color light, indicating that they are all imbued with magic.
Konina lifted the flying carpet and a few small things rolled to the ground, including a brass herring, a wooden ear, several large square metal pieces, and a lead box containing a fossilized soap bubble.
What exactly are these? "Asked Nagil.
Well, "Lingsifeng replied," before attempting to eat that flying carpet, they were mostly moths
Oh my god
This is something that you people have never understood, "Ling Sifeng said wearily." You think magic is something that can be picked up and used at will, just like
Radish? "Nagil said.
Wine bottle? "Shalifa said.
That kind of thing. "Ling Sifeng was not entirely sure, but he still managed to pick himself up and continued," However, in fact
Isn't that right
More like a bottle of wine? "Shalifa asked hopefully.
Magic will use humans in reverse, "Ling Sifeng hurriedly continued," its impact on you is as much as yours is on it, and so on. Something with magic, if you manipulate it, will also affect you. I think it's best for me to warn you first
It's like a bottle of wine, "Corlisso said," the kind that will take you, take you -
The kind that makes you drink, "Ling Sifeng helped him complete," so the first thing you need to do is put down the oil lamp and ring. And for heaven's sake, don't rub against anything
My grandfather used them to create the wealth of the family, "Korisso said with a melancholic expression." His bad uncle locked him in a cave, you know. He had to rely on what he had to hold on. And he had nothing on his hands except a flying carpet, a magic oil lamp, a magic ring, and a hole full of various jewels
What a difficult road to success, "said Lingsi Fengdao.
Konina spread the flying carpet out on the floor. It is embroidered with intricate patterns on a blue background, consisting of several golden dragons, extremely complex ones. They have long beards, ears, and wings, all seemingly frozen in the moment of deformation, indicating that the weaving machine that completed this work clearly had more than the usual three dimensions. But that's not even the worst. The worst thing is that if you keep staring at it, the pattern will turn into a blue dragon on a golden background, and there will be a feeling that will sneak into your heart, making you feel that you must not try to see two types of dragons at the same time again, otherwise your brain will definitely flow out of your ears.
Another explosion shook the entire building once again. Lingsifeng put in a lot of effort and finally turned his gaze away from the flying carpet.
How is this used? "He asked.
Korisso shrugged his shoulders. I've never used it before, "he said." I guess just say something like 'up' or 'down'
How about 'passing through the wall'? "Said Lingsi Fengdao.
Three people looked up at the high, dark, and hard walls at the same time.
We can try sitting up and saying 'get up', "Nagil suggested," and then before we hit the ceiling, we can say, um, 'stop'. "He pondered for a moment, then added," If that's the command
Or 'fall', "Ling Sifeng said," or 'descend', 'dive', 'fall', 'sink', or 'fall'
'Drop', "suggested Konina with a calm face.
Of course, "Nagil said," since there are so many primitive magic powers floating nearby, you can also try using them
Ah... "Lingsifeng said, and then he said again," Hmm
Your hat says' Witcher ', "said Cory Cableway.
Anyone can write on the hat, "Konina said," don't see any letters
Hey, I said wait. "Lingsifeng became anxious.
They waited and waited.
They continued to wait longer.
Listen, this is much harder than you think, "said Lingsifeng in the end.
What did I say? "Konina said." Come on, let's use our nails to dig through the mortar
Lingsifeng waved his hand to signal her to remain silent. He took off his hat, deliberately blew the dust on the stars, and then put on the hat again; He straightened the brim of his hat, rolled up his sleeves, bent his fingers, and then began to panic.
As there was no better course of action, he leaned back against the stone wall.
It's vibrating. It's not a feeling of being shaken by something, more like a pulsation emanating from within.
This is quite like the tremble he felt in college before the arrival of the great mage. Obviously, there is something that makes the stone very unhappy.
He rubbed forward along the wall and pressed his ear against the next stone. This is a wedge-shaped stone, relatively small, specially cut into a shape that can be embedded into a corner of the wall. It's not an eye-catching big guy, it belongs to the featherweight class among the stones, patiently and meticulously working hard for the benefit of the entire wall. It is also trembling.
Shh! "Konina asked everyone to be quiet.
I didn't hear anything, "Nagil said loudly. Nigel is such a person. If you say 'don't look now', he will immediately turn his head, like an owl on a record player turntable. This kind of person, if you point it out to them, for example, by looking at the rare saffron next to them, they will turn around in confusion, step down with one foot, and make a miserable "smacking" sound. If they get lost in the vast desert, it's also easy to find: you just need to put some fragile small things on the ground, such as a precious antique cup that has been passed down in your family for several generations, and run over as soon as you hear the sound of something breaking.
It's too far.
That's the problem! Isn't it a war
The mortar on the ceiling poured onto Lingsi Feng's hat, like a small waterfall.
Something is pounding stones, "he said calmly," they want to break free
Many of them are hanging over our heads, "Korisso shared his observations with everyone.
The creaking sound of grinding came from above their heads, followed by a ray of sunlight shining into the room. Lingsifeng was surprised to find that this light did not come with the fate of being immediately crushed by a stone. The silicide on the top of the head creaked again, and the opening of the hole also widened. Stones are loosening and falling one after another, and they are falling upwards.
