An Yizhi seems to have a good chance of keeping up with the ancient elves.

But it's really just a matter of probability.

As I have said many times before, the Elder Elves have created a very prosperous and huge magical civilization, and they have left the most relics, so when a brand new dungeon is discovered, there is at least an eighty percent chance that it will be related to the Elder Elves.

Moreover, Ann has Hela, compared to other players and NPC adventurers who know little about the ancient elves, Nikolai's database plays a vital role, many of the ancient elves' mechanisms can be easily recognized, and many facilities that can only be used by the ancient elves can also be easily activated by Hela after cracking the console.

- As long as Ann points to the other, don't be cheap.

According to past experience, there are no traps in the control room, and the ancient elves will not mess around in such an important place no matter how idle they are, so An Yizhi can rest assured and boldly turn around while Hela cracks the console.

The first thing that caught his eye was a recess in the wall behind the console.

It appears to be about 20 centimeters wide and 1.2 meters high, with an arc on the inside.

Reaching out and touching a stain-like object in the groove, he saw that it was a mark left by the decay of the metal.

This shows that there should have been a bracket in the groove, and considering the size of the groove, the size of the bracket cannot be too large, and it feels like there should have been a wand-sized thing in it.

Of course, it was empty now, and there was nothing to be seen in the vicinity except for rubble.

It may have been taken by the Elder Elves, or it could mean that Ann Yi pointed out that they were not the first visitors to arrive here.

An Yizhi didn't care too much, after all, it was not only Nikolai who knew the language of the ancient elves, many people were studying, and in many controversial places, no one could convince anyone, maybe everyone's research on the ancient elf language was not very accurate, but there was no problem with opening the door to the control room.

He turned his head to look at the other side, at one on the wall on his left.

There wasn't much debris down there, and it was a sight to behold in a room full of ruins along the walls.

Magic can protect objects such as rocks or metals from damage for thousands of years, even if it is not the kind of specially treated item, as long as it stays within the range of high concentration of magic power, it still has this effect, but it is the difference between strength and weakness.

There is probably a dense pipeline of magic behind the wall that didn't have much rubble to fall, and the rushing magic makes the wall still look like it was 10,000 years ago.

"Detecting the Secret Door"

Pulling out the manuscript of Miszhuo's prophecy, Ann pointed to activate the spell on it.

Modern elves still retain many of the characteristics of ancient elves, and if I have to say, modern elves are a degraded version of ancient elves.

However, no matter what kind of elves, they all have the ability to detect secret doors like a sixth sense, which may be inherited from the ancient elves.

Because of this, there are many hidden secret doors in the ruins of the ancient elves, which can only be found by the elves.

As for the mage, only elves can do it, but I can't...... Can this be endured?

So there was the spell of detecting the secret door.

A reddish wave swept across the room, outlining all the objects in the room.

Ann pointed to see that the wall that had just caught his attention lit up with a red glow in the shape of an arch, which was the hidden secret door.

Maintaining the spell, An Yiyi took out a large brush, and wiped off a thick layer of dust from the wall with three strokes and five divisions, and then used the wind-making technique to blow away the smoke and dust.

What finally appeared in front of An Yizhi was a very strange thing.

It's mostly a decorative fresco in the style of the Elder Elves, but in the middle there is a clearly and regular square area.

There are 8x8 compartments, each about the size of a bottle cap, but it occupies most of the door.

The checks were all irregular patterns, like deliberately messed up puzzle pieces, and An Yizhi also found two empty spaces in the square area.

It's already obvious that this is a small mechanism that allows the pattern to be put together into a specific pattern to open the door, and I encountered a similar one when exploring the dwarven ruins in the dark region not long ago, but compared to the last time, this one is obviously an advanced version.

The most important thing is to know what it looked like in the original form, otherwise there is no way to talk about it.

He took out a stack of white paper, splashed ink on the pattern on the door, and then covered the white paper, just like rubbing, and copied all the patterns.

Then it's as simple as tearing the paper into lattice-sized pieces of paper on the door and putting them back together one by one.

Compared with the limited movable lattice on the stone door to piece together the pattern, it is obviously easier to rub it down and put it together directly, which is a tricky way.

Not long after, about twenty minutes later, the rubbed pieces of paper were put together into a familiar pattern by An Yizhi.

"Sure enough, it's the World Tree, and the ancient elves really worship this."

Muttering, Ann began to reorder the lattices on the door one by one.

This is much more difficult than the pieces of paper he pieced together before, simply put, it is a variant of Huarong Dao, even if there are two vacant spaces that can be moved to reduce the difficulty a lot, but the total number of grids is as high as 64, which is still quite a test of the brain.

An Yizhi is just an ordinary person in this regard, and it is said that people who often play this kind of intellectual game have summed up a lot of experience and routines, but he doesn't understand these, so he can only rely on his brain to deduce step by step.

As a result, it took longer than Ann Yizhi thought, and it took him almost an hour to get it done, and he wanted to give up several times in the process, and even used the knight immortal to die with his bare hands and the ruby reversal ray to forcibly crack it, but he didn't succeed, so he could only honestly follow the rules.

But when he moved the last piece of lattice to the exact position, the hidden door still showed no sign of opening, and there was no reaction.

This made Ann wonder if he was mistaken.

"That's right, it's all in the right order."

After careful comparison and sorting, I didn't find the problem, isn't spelling out the pattern the right solution?

Just wondering, An Yizhi raised his eyes and saw that there seemed to be a small hole on both sides of the puzzle, but it was blocked by dust and the puzzle was too conspicuous, An Yizhi did not find them at the first time.

Easily took out the by-product of disorder's training from the dimensional pocket, a leather tiger, and used it to blow out the dust in the small hole.

"Keyhole, it looks like you need to find the key?"

This made An Yizhi very discouraged, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the ghost knows where the key used to open the door has gone, and it is a question of whether the key has turned into a ball of iron powder.

"Hela, how's your situation going over there?"

Hela took longer than ever to crack the control system of the Elder Elves in a matter of ten minutes at most.

"I just finished it, the secrecy level of this system is much stricter than that of civilian ones, and fortunately it's not a military system like the Magic Fortress, otherwise I wouldn't have a problem."

In reply, Hela continued to tap on the console:

"Overall, this underground building is a laboratory for the study of insects and monsters."

It's easy to guess, after all, the insect king above has already explained everything.

"There are also a lot of facilities down there, from residential areas to living and entertainment, material warehouses, arsenals and so on."

An Yizhi was about to be happy when he heard this, and then Hela changed his words:

"It's just that all the roads leading to the underground have been blocked, and traces of collapse can be found in many places, master, you better give up, there is no way for you to go down and search, even if you use skeleton soldiers as construction workers to excavate, it will take at least a month, and there is no guarantee that it will collapse during the excavation."

has followed An Yizhi for so long, how could Hela not know what virtue An Yizhi had, and added in an accentuated tone:

"Don't use any spells to brute-force it, the structure below has become very unstable, any strong impact may cause the entire underground complex to completely collapse inside, plus the enchantment effect has not disappeared, master, you can't escape even if you use amber to escape."

With all that said, An Yizhi had no choice but to give up the idea of searching downward, and comforted himself that tens of thousands of years had passed, and there would basically be nothing of value left.

"I found a secret door over there, can you open it here?"

Hela looked at the walls marked with the Secret Door Detection spell, then at the realistic magic screen on the console and said:

"No, there is an emergency escape channel, the picture shows that it leads directly to the laboratory, and it is for personnel to escape, but it can only be opened from the inside, and it needs to meet certain conditions to open from the control room, and the opening and closing of the door has completely independent control, and I can't affect it here."

"What do you want?"

"The data shows that there is a teleportation rod on the shelf behind the console that can only be used in an emergency, which can be used to teleport in defiance of the barrier blockade"

Ann glanced at the groove that had first caught her attention:

"It's empty inside."

"Generally speaking, there should be more than one way to open this door nearby, and the Elder Elves will prepare many sets of backup methods, which is a little habit of theirs."

"Is that a puzzle routine that works?"

"Almost."

Hella continued

"The keys of the ancient elves generally have special protection or enchantment, as long as it is not man-made damage, it should still be used, master, you look for it nearby, I will see if there are more clues in the console."

Since Hela had said so, Ann had to look around to see if he could find the two missing keys.

But it's quite difficult to do so.

The carved murals that may have clues or hints around have all turned into gravel and fallen to the ground, piled up scattered, and many of the patterns on them are broken, even if An Yizhi is good at playing puzzles, he can't put them together.

An Yizhi rummaged through the rubble for more than ten minutes, but unsurprisingly found nothing.

What's the matter?

An Yizhi is confident that as long as it is a logical puzzle, he can solve it by himself, but the clues and hints of the puzzle have completely disappeared, and there is no way to talk about it.

He patted the dust on his hands and said with a little regret:

"If the mural is still there...... That's right! ”

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, An Yizhi suddenly remembered that he had a spell that he hadn't used since he got it......
