The ruins of St. Renia – the gate of the castle

The guarding stone lion didn't care how surprised Xingyun and the others were, and directly explained to Xingyun and the others in its deep voice: "The stone statues you see near the castle now are actually my doppelgangers!" I'm going to move among these statues four times, and you'll have to find traces of my movements! Remember the order in which I move, break them and come back to talk to me!! ”

With that, the guardian stone lion returned to its pedestal and changed back into the form of a statue!

Nebula, whose spiritual power is extremely powerful, sensed that something flew out from the statue of the stone lion guarding it, and Nebula suddenly realized that the stone lion probably had no entity! The twenty statues in front of this castle are all considered its body!!

It's probably trying to fool everyone by wandering through its soul, controlling the stone statues near the castle, and constantly changing the objects of its control.

At this time, Nebula hurriedly said to his companions, "Everyone disperse! Everyone stares at a stone statue to see if it moves! Place a gold coin under the stone statue and loudly notify your teammates! The second stone statue is two gold coins, the third is three, and the fourth is four!! ”

After seeing that Xingyun's team of twenty people took on the test of the stone lion alone, the Monster Hunter Squad, the Dragon Slayer Squad, the Flying Tiger Squad, and the Hand of the Law God Squad, the Box Red Lotus Squad, did not have much opinion, after all, they didn't even enter the gate now, and it was only appropriate for this kind of test that was not too difficult to hand over to that group of child adventurers.

And the sword fight of the Demon King's crusade team took the initiative to find Nebula and said to Nebula: "You are the captain of the world's number one adventure team, Nebula, right!?" I just heard your plan, and it can be said that it is organized and very good! It's just that you seem to have forgotten the stone lion's body, and it may also return to the body to make movements! ”

"If you don't mind, I'll watch over it in its form! In order to be able to complete the test perfectly, enter the castle~~~~" Sword Fight proposed to Nebula.

Looking at the enthusiastic sword fight, Xingyun smiled awkwardly and nodded at the sword fight.

Nebula can't say that he has the eye of a wizard, and it's okay to observe all the statues at the same time, and it's just lazy to call his teammates to help save it.

In this way, Xingyun and his party quickly came to their respective positions, and stared at the stone statue in front of them to observe whether the stone statue moved.

There are three layers of stone statues, with eight stone statues on the top floor, five on the middle floor, and seven on the lower level, and a total of twenty-one stone statues with the stone lion itself.

Just as Nebula waited impatiently, a strange sound came from the left side of the gate, followed by the sound of something heavy moving.

Lori, who was guarding the left side of the middle floor of the city gate, threw a gold coin in front of the stone statue without hesitation, and then shouted loudly to her companions: "The first stone statue has moved!" ”

Immediately afterwards, with a strange sound came from the right side of the city gate, Ike, who was in charge of guarding the mysterious angel stone statue in the lower right corner of the city gate, threw two gold coins in front of the stone statue, his hands were in the shape of trumpets, and shouted to his companions: "The second moving stone statue has appeared!" ”

Then, a strange voice came from above, and Xiao Miya, who was in charge of guarding the stone statue on the right side, shouted loudly to his companions: "The third stone statue has also appeared!" ”

After speaking, Xiao Gong threw three gold coins in front of the stone statue, clasped his hands, and waited for the last stone statue to move.

After a while, a strange noise came from the direction of the left side of the city gate, and Xingyun, who was in charge of guarding the mysterious angel stone statue in the lower left corner of the city gate, shouted to his companions: "The fourth stone statue has appeared!" Come back to the city gates! ”

After saying that, Nebula threw four gold coins in front of the stone statue and walked quickly towards the city gate.

After the team assembled, after a brief exchange between Lori, Ike, Komiya, and Nebula, who were guarding the stone statues, the four decided to let the agile Brad break the stone statues in order.

Brad looked at the number of gold coins placed in front of the stone statue according to the direction pointed by the four Nebulas, and destroyed them in the order of one, two, three, and four.

In a few moments, Brad destroyed all four stone statues!

When Xingyun came to the guard stone lion with apprehension, the stone lion suddenly jumped off the platform and said to Xingyun and the others: "Sure enough~~~ You are very smart! So let's move on to the next step! This time I'll move among the five stone statues, remember the order, and talk to me when I'm defeated!! ”

As soon as the stone lion finished speaking, a strange sound came from around the city gate.

Nebula hurriedly released the Nine Wizard Eyes and scattered them around, only to find that the stone statue that was supposed to be destroyed by Brad had returned to its original state.

It seems that Shi Shi still wants to test himself and others..........

In this way, Xingyun and his party began to test the stone lions again, and successfully smashed five stone statues in the order of abnormal movements.

And after five is finished, there are six, just when Xingyun thought that there would be seven, Shi Shi said approvingly to Xingyun and his party: "Good job!" I'll open the gates of the castle for you now! The next level is not as easy as I am!! ”

After saying that, the stone lion placed its claws in a groove in the stone pillar at the corner of the city gate, and the groove matched the stone lion's claws perfectly.

After a violent tremor, the gate slowly opened with a screeching sound.

When the city gate just opened a gap that barely allowed people to pass through, the six members of the Flying Tiger team rushed into the castle without hesitation! After seeing what the Flying Tiger Team was doing, the Dragon Slayer Team also followed closely and entered the castle.

The Monster Hunter team looked at Nebula suspiciously, and then when the gate was halfway open, they couldn't help but break into the castle! After taking the initiative to say hello to Nebula, Eliv of the Red Lotus Team followed closely behind the Monster Hunter Team and entered the castle.

When the gate was fully opened, the six magicians of the Hand of the God squad raised their magic shields one after another, formed a formation, and cautiously entered the castle.

At this time, the sword fight of the Demon King's crusade team came to Xingyun, and asked Xingyun very curiously: "Xingyun, didn't you take the initiative to accept the test of the castle guard stone lion just now?" The castle gate has been opened, why don't you the world's number one adventure team rush in? After all, you have completed the test of the stone lions, even if the first batch enters, they will not have any complaints! ”

"That's it! Nebula, what the hell are you thinking!? We went in so late that even good things wouldn't have befallen us!! Lin Zhiling, who was beside Nebula, pouted and complained to Nebula.

Nebula smiled slightly and replied to his companions, "Saint Rynia, in its heyday, was a great empire that controlled the entire territory of Treasure Island, and I believe that there must be many unknown dangers in the ruins!" The test just now was not dangerous, so I took the initiative to accept it! ”

"My purpose is not just to get Rubien! The most important thing is that all of us survive! Become a member of the Zakun Expedition!! Nebula raised his staff and said to his companions.

At this time, the white-robed girl with purple hair and purple eyes holding a folding fan beside Jian Dou patted Jian Dou's shoulder and said to Jian Dou: "That blue-haired magician imp just wants someone in front of him to explore the way!" What a cunning imp, but even if there are any traps in the castle, so many people go in, and they are all stepped on. With the strength of you and me, there is no need to be afraid of any traps at all!! Let's go first! ”

After saying that, the purple-haired and white-robed girl entered the castle with the samurai sword fighting in armor.

After seeing everyone enter the castle, Nebula formed up and led his companions into the castle.........

The ruins of St. Renia - inside the castle

The castle has a long and narrow corridor, surrounded by broken stones, toppled buildings, and the stone pillars that support the corridor are also broken and crumbling, like a deserted ruin.

After passing through the corridor, Nebula and his party arrived in the castle hall.

The castle was not as dark as Nebula had thought, and bright light shone through the broken ceiling overhead and the broken walls around it, adding a lot of light to the castle hall.

In the corridors and corridors of the castle hall, there are also a lot of wall lamps, which look like they have just been lit. The sconces are supposed to have been lit the moment the castle gates opened.

There are many knights' armor on the shelves of the castle hall, as well as some swords and other weapons, which are called castle halls rather than knights' halls.

At this moment, Nebula saw the group that had entered earlier, and they were watching a rusty knight's armor.

As Nebula got closer, Nebula noticed that everyone was carefully observing the small letters carved on the pedestal beneath the knight's armor.

Nebula read softly as he looked at the small print, "In order to invade Saint Renia, the demon Eligos sealed the spear of Longcinus, which guarded Saint Renia. If the spear of Longcinus regains its strength, it may be able to defeat the evil power of Erigus. ”

"Spear of Longcinus!? Isn't this a holy relic of St. Renia? I've read in the history books that there are four spears of Roncinus! Simply place four spears of Longcinus on a specific altar to activate the power of the relic. Koo, the captain of the Hand of the Law God, who has studied history quite a bit, stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

After hearing Koo's words, Lua of the Monster Hunter Team asked Koo, "Do you mean that as long as we collect four spears of Longcinus, we can reduce the power of Erigus?" ”

"I don't know, the spear of Longcinus has been sealed for too long, and how much power is left, we don't know at all!" Koo shook his head slightly and replied to Lua.

Just as everyone fell silent, a magician in a green magic robe hurried from the depths of the hallway, looking at his eagerness, he must have discovered something.........
