Chapter 733: The Ruins of the Dwarven Kingdom (5)
Although everyone was more or less prepared to rush into the air, the sight in front of them still made them feel lost.
The room was an area of about fifty square meters, neatly arranged with stone oval tables, which should have contained a large number of the dwarves' most important knowledge of metal smelting, and even mechanical engineering, but now only a thin layer of dust remained.
An Yizhi stretched out his finger and rubbed it on the table, and said:
"Judging by the thickness of the dust, there used to be a lot of things here, but they have all been emptied in the last day or two."
Appletea also found it, and he pointed to the footprints on the ground and said:
"There are several medium-sized creature's footprints here, judging by their depth and size, probably human and elven."
This means that Ann is not just one step late, but many steps late, and the vast amount of knowledge stored here has been taken away by the dark elves.
"Those black-skinned bastards!"
Gell roared:
"This is the treasure of the dwarves! How dare they! ”
As he spoke, he picked up the axe and walked out, but was grabbed by the brave invincible around him by the back of the armor, and the strength attribute and level blessing of up to 8 allowed the brave invincible to pull up the heavily armed dwarf with one hand:
"Calm down, you rush out to find them now and desperately can't get anything back."
The dwarf's little short leg thrashed twice in the air before finally giving up.
He knew that the brave invincible was right, but he didn't want to believe it emotionally.
"I'm going to make a keg out of the head of a dark elf! No! Make a night pot! ”
"You'd better keep quiet, maybe there's some monster in the temple."
The brave invincible was persuading the dwarf, and then saw Appletea raise his right hand and make a silent gesture, obviously discovering something.
The dwarf couldn't let out a breath, but he still had a little brain, and he couldn't make a sound, and his face was red, the same color as his red nose.
"Something is approaching us, and the footsteps are very heavy....."
Ignoring the dust, Apple Tea lay on the ground and listened with his ears, whispering to everyone.
At this time, the people who kept quiet also heard a sound of footsteps getting louder and louder, just as Appletea said that it was approaching, but due to the special structure of the temple, no one else could hear where the sound came from except Appletea.
Appletea closed her eyes and listened intently for a moment before pointing to the floor, meaning that the sound was coming from underground. Then he whispered:
"He's gone, getting farther and farther away from us."
That was said, but everyone didn't dare to relax too much, and looked nervously at the floor under their feet.
It wasn't until Appletea stood up and confirmed that the heavy footsteps were far away that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can you tell what it is?"
"It's probably an alchemy creature like a golem, but I haven't heard such heavy footsteps, and he must be much larger than a regular golem."
Flowing water activates the dwarven city, as well as his guardians.
An pointed and heard that it might be a golem, and he had a headache.
As far as the Iron Golem is concerned, the average Iron Golem level is about level 35 or less, and usually monsters of this level are not a problem for An Yizhi at all, and in an open environment, even a group fight is not his opponent.
However, alchemy creatures generally can't apply the set of level rules that players are familiar with, because their combat power is really disgusting, and both magic resistance and physical resistance are high.
"Golem? Can dwarves make this? ”
The Brave Invincible was puzzled, even if he didn't pay much attention to the background knowledge, he knew that there were almost no mages among the dwarves, and the golems were obviously magical creatures.
"Although the dwarves don't have mages, halflings and gnomes do."
Appletea shrugged and responded.
Not to mention the dwarfs, there are a lot of mages among the halflings, and because their physique and strength will not exceed 3 at most, this makes the halflings either mages or flexible wanderers.
"Halflings make the core, gnomes complement intricate skeletons, and dwarves craft armor and weapons for golems...... The golems in the ruins are more threatening than any of the dungeons out there. ”
Hela's words were agreed by the others, and the next adventure should try to avoid clashes with the golems, anyway, their movement speed is bad, and they can run as long as they can.
"Take a look around, maybe there's something that hasn't been taken away."
An Yizhi defined the encounter with the golem, and everyone hurried to work.
Appletea banged on the wall, hoping to find a secret door or something, and he was also in charge of keeping a sentry so that if the golem came back, he could alert everyone as soon as possible.
The brave invincible is much simpler and rude, maybe he learned badly from An Yizhi, he also has the meaning of scraping the ground, and he turned over those stone tables one by one with great strength to see if there was anything hidden underneath.
Dwarf Gehr. Stonefist sat at the door, but the thing was still sulking, and it was probably going to find two dark elves to try the axe.
Compared to his teammates, Ann looked a little salty, and he focused on observing the murals on the walls as he had done in front of the temple before.
The murals here are somewhat damaged, not carved in their entirety, but pasted together like tiles, which caused some of the stone tiles to fall down over time, making the pattern irregular.
And it's not a mythological story, except for some purely decorative patterns, but more of a record of life during the dwarven kingdom.
For example, mining, smelting, forging, and even images of armies and wars, but the opponent is not a dark elf, but a group of underground monsters, such as dreadclaws, dark sound blind, and the like.
The number of frescoes is small, and there is nothing noteworthy about the recorded things, and there are no patterns of ancient elves as seen at the entrance of the temple before.
Reaching out to remove the cobwebs that covered the mural, An Yizhi felt that there seemed to be a wind blowing in his palm, which made him stunned.
I immediately realized that there was nothing behind the mural!
"Apple, come and see here."
Compared to itself, apple tea is obviously more professional.
And it is.
Apple Tea just put its ears on it, and then tapped it casually twice, and then made a judgment.
"There's a space of about thirty centimeters behind this, and after this gap, it seems that there is more space, and I hear the sound propagating into the distance."
This discovery cheered everyone up, and even Gehr did not sulk, but gathered in front of the mural and said:
"Are you going to smash it open?"
The excitement was like grabbing half-price potato chips, leaving players speechless.
This is the place left by your ancestors, so you don't need to be so active in demolition, right?
"Too much noise might attract the golem, so it's better not to do it."
An pointed past the crowd and carefully looked at each decorative line on the wall:
"There must be a mechanism around here that can open it, try it first, and then brute force it."
This kind of mechanism for opening the door is generally not too far.,Like the kind of mechanism that opens door A, it's impossible to do it in the distant room B.,After all, this is not a puzzle-solving game with the whole person for fun.,The door also has to talk about practicality.。
Pulling out the manuscript of Misizhuo's prophecy, Ann Yizhi activated one of the spells:
"Detection Magic"
Invisible fluctuations spread out, and the information in return showed that there was no magic in the vicinity.
Sure enough, it's the kingdom of the dwarves, and even if the addition of halflings and gnomes allows them to produce magical items, the dwarves don't like that stuff and are more adept at purely mechanical things.
Since there is no magic, it means that the mechanism that opens the door must be nearby, but the bad news is that An Yizhi can't directly use a ruby reversal ray to open the door.
"Knights don't die with their bare hands!"
[Skill activation failed, the item cannot be strengthened, and there is an unknown force blocking it]
The invincible knight does not die of unarmed failure, but the system prompt makes An Yizhi even more confused.
No magic but unknown powers?
Generally speaking, it is a magic item that can resist the knight from dying with his bare hands, because they have enchantments themselves, so the knight's enhancement without dying with his bare hands is useless.
In addition, it is blocked by strange powers such as divine power and psionic energy that are different from magic, which will also prevent the knight from dying with his bare hands.
Could it be that this trap door is blessed by Moradin's divine power? Or is it that the material from which this door is made has special powers in itself?
These speculations can be put aside for now, or how to open it first.
An Yizhi took out a stack of white paper and a charcoal pen, and rubbed the pattern down to make it easier for him to unravel the mystery.
Looking at the papers, An Yizhi had a very subtle feeling, as if he could solve a puzzle at once, but he always felt as if it was almost meaningless, as if there was a film separating him from the truth.
"These patterns, it seems that they can be connected?"
Hela's words made Ann's fingers open, yes, it's connected!
The murals are very large, and there are a lot of rubbings on paper.
An Yizhi placed the dozens of pieces of paper on the ground, giving priority to looking for patterns that might be corners, and then deduced them inwards layer by layer.
Those who like to play puzzles should be no strangers, this is the simplest puzzle technique.
After about a few minutes, he finished stitching together the entire pattern, and finally presented a pattern that was exactly the same as the World Tree of the Ancient Elves, although it was not marked with the specific name of each world, it was still easy to find things such as 'Heavenly Mountain', 'Sky Sanctuary', 'Endless Abyss', and 'Nine Hells'.
On the trunk of the tree there is a bunch of lines combined with the text, this kind of writing is not unfamiliar, it is the text of the ancient elves.
"Hela, what's written on it?"
The demon lady said in a beautiful tone like singing, and then said:
"Open the door"
An Yi fingered: "......"
It's a simple and crude translation, but it's very effective.
As soon as Hela's words fell, everyone saw that the murals on the wall began to move, as if there was an automatically controlled roller behind each stone brick, quickly turning the pattern into a world tree that Ann had put together with a rubbing.
The next moment, the wall sinks inward, about half an inch deep, and at the same time, the wall cracks in the middle, and the stone bricks on both sides are stuffed into the gaps in the wall, a bit like the effect of an elevator opening a door.
Behind there, there was a wrought-iron door made of metal, with a golden lock hanging from it, and when you looked through the gap in the fence, you could only see a deep, silent darkness......
