Chapter 755: Stairway to Sunshine (2)
Even after all this time of playing the world of the Brave, Ann is still in a rut with things like mazes, which can be said to be his greatest natural enemy.
- Well, if you're afraid of ghosts, you don't count.
He only hoped that this ruin wouldn't be a maze of egg-shattering activities like the Wizard Fortress, and preferably not at all.
The four stone doors in front of him are of the same style, but they are still a little different.
Wipe the moss off the metal nameplate next to the door, and you can see that each of the four doors has different handwriting, which is translated by Hela as 'Justice', 'Evil', 'Annihilation', and 'Regeneration'.
This kind of routine is very familiar.
As early as the Magic Fortress under the Misty Forest, An Yizhi had encountered this kind of setting once, plus the record of the ancient elves in the Hela database, these doors should be the most common 'test gates' in the ruins of the ancient elves, and these idle eggs and painful ancient elves like to engage in this thing to relieve boredom.
As for the words on the door...... That's just because the Elder Elves thought it was too high.
- I always feel that this style of middle two diseases that likes to pretend to be forced is inexplicably in tune with An Yizhi.
Under normal circumstances, the basic of the so-called exploration is a carpet search, four doors appear in front of you, and they can all be pushed open, and in the absence of clear clues, you should enter one by one in order.
Either you just choose a random one to hit the big luck and see if you can meet it.
Last time in the Wizard Fortress, An Yizhi did just that, but this time compared to last time, he had a clear advantage.
Mostly Hela.
Before the first pinnacle tournament, Hela was borrowed by Nikolai to strengthen her abilities, and it took a lot of time to get an extra arcane vision skill, and to be honest, Ann Yizhi felt quite inexplicable at the time.
But after relying on arcane vision again and again, An Yizhi realized the value of this thing.
Hela's arcane vision has been upgraded by Nikolai, and it can not only identify what spells the opponent has released from the color of the magic aura, but also see the trajectory of the magic and even the line.
It's a bit of a dick, as if you can just ignore the walls and see the pipes inside, which is very useful in dungeons, especially in dungeons full of magic.
Once again, it proves that every move Nikolai made against An Yizhi was not a whim, and it was obviously after careful consideration and repeated pondering to determine what to give him, he was really good to his students, and he felt that this is what his son meant.
Hela activated her arcane vision and looked at each of the four doors, and it didn't take long to get a rough idea of the magic pipeline behind them.
According to the habits of the Elder Elves, the more test gates, the less important the facilities behind the doors are, and they can slowly enjoy the fun of solving puzzles, on the contrary, the more important the facilities, the fewer the test gates, or even none at all.
Hela used arcane vision to see the least number of trial gates after the 'annihilation' door, followed by 'good' and 'evil' the most.
It was clear that the main control room should be the most important place no matter how you look at it, so Ann pointed out that their first goal was to 'annihilate' the door and the facilities behind it.
Unlike the last time, this time after entering the door, the door can still be opened. Other than that, though, the room setup is pretty much the same as the Test Gate encountered in the Wizard Fortress.
You can see a room of about 20 square meters, with a square table and four fine stone chairs in the center of the room.
However, An Yizhi didn't see the test items, and there was nothing on the table.
After confirming that there were no traps, Ann pointed to Viconia, who looked uncertain, and sat on the chair next door, she had never seen the evil taste of the ancient elves, and she didn't know what was going on.
When the two of them sat down, a magical image of an ancient elf appeared opposite them, looking like a ghost, and Viconia acted the same as Ann Yizhi, who had seen this thing for the first time, raising his hand and stabbing it with a sword, and only stopped when he found that there was no danger.
It's not the first time I've seen an ancient elf-like man-machine battle, and An Yizhi expressed calmness.
The two Elder Elves smiled politely and patted the table.
The next moment, the two saw the center of the table sink, revealing a square gap, while a metal plate holding mahjong tiles rose from under the table......
This is a magic version of a fully automatic mahjong table!
Elder elves really know how to play......
โโโโโโโโโโ
Mahjong, a game invented by the Celestial Empire, has a very exaggerated spread, and has long become a world-class intellectual competition.
Even the magic world has been spread, and mahjong is indeed a dick......
But this thing is also a very brain-testing intellectual competition, just like playing cards, it is a game that seems to rely on luck, but in fact it is a game of skill and intelligence.
Coincidentally, it is this type that the Elder Elves like and do best at the most.
Viconia can also play mahjong, of course, just staying at the stage of 'will', whether it is good or not is another matter, and Ann is ......
He showed how the following players played difficult games.
Open with a smile.
The smile faded away.
His face began to be solemn.
Consciousness gradually blurred.
In the end, he was angry and flipped the table (โฏโตโกโฒ)โฏ(โปโโป
The IQ is amazing!
Speaking of which, the last time he was in the Magic Fortress, he also played two and couldn't afford to lose, so he just flipped the table and didn't play, this time he thought it wouldn't be so perverted, but it turned out that he still thought too much......
- The difficulty is more perverted than before.
Even if you pass the test gate of the ancient elves, you will get some small rewards set by them, such as D-level spells or something, but the difficulty is too high, so in addition to the four-player mahjong at the beginning, he also pulled Viconia to play a few games, and then he directly lifted the table to get it no matter what intelligence project.
Tearing down the puppet that made a 'hahahaha' mocking sound, Ann Yizhi and Viconia passed through the three test doors and arrived at a room with a significantly different style of painting.
Whether it's the super high staircase that I walked through with trepidation before, or the rooms of those test gates, although the magic of the ancient elves kept them from turning into a pile of ruins, they still can't stop the growth of moss mushrooms and the like, which looks very old.
The temperature and humidity are very different from the previous room, it looks much drier and cooler, and there is no moss or mushrooms to be seen, at most there is a thick layer of dust.
The room is about 50~60 square meters, and there are rows of metal cabinets on both sides and in the center, which look a bit like the kind of lockers used in bathhouses, and maybe they can find some equipment in these lockers.
However, the looting thing can be put away first, because An Yi pointed and saw that there was something very similar to the structure of the console at the back of the locker, and hoped they were not in the wrong place.
Hanging up the defensive spell, Viconia also drew his weapon, and the two of them kept a formation one after the other and slowly walked towards the suspected console.
It may be that they are nervous, there is actually no trap here, but the two of them still dare not be careless, and carefully sail the ship of ten thousand years, and the truth represented by this sentence is also the code of the dark elves.
"Wind Making!"
The thing that appeared to be a console was covered with a very thick layer of dust, controlling the strong winds created by magic, and Ann used it as a hair dryer to blow off the dust on it, revealing its original appearance.
It looked very much like the kind of console I'd seen in the Wizard Fortress before, with a keyboard made of some kind of hedron as a button, and various red lights.
But since it is written in ancient elven language, and there is no systematic translation, it can only rely on Hela.
"Meaningless, as long as there is no intervention from the soul of the ancient elves, it won't take me long to crack their system."
Hela patted her chest with confidence, and it was true, and she was best at this aspect more than fighting.
While she was busy working on the console, Ann and Viconia were walking around the neighborhood to see if there were any other clues or catches, but they didn't dare to go far, especially the lockers, which it was best not to open until Hela was sure there was no danger.
Ann glanced at the wall behind the console, its curved structure was a bit of a concern, usually no one would build a curved wall, right?
His attention was immediately drawn to a bulge hanging from the side of the wall.
Dusting away the dust with his hands, he could see that it was also a patterned metal plate, which seemed to be embedded in the wall.
The pattern does not depict a world tree, but rather a ship-shaped structure, clearly divided into two parts, one from the top and one from the side.
It's kind of like the simple blueprints of battleships that appeared in military shows.
This is...... A structural diagram of the ruins?
It feels a bit like it, but in the shape of a ship......
- What the ancient elves are thinking is indeed a mystery for the ages.
As soon as the idea popped into his head, Hela's voice came:
"I found a mechanism, it looks like our location should be the vantage point of the ruins, you turn your head to look at the curved wall."
As soon as they turned their heads, the two of them saw the gray brush on the walls disappear in an instant, turning into a light-permeable structure like glass, through which a magnificent underground city appeared in front of them.
The golden roof still retains its color, with metal accents in gold or silver, and flashes of magic that make the entire underground ruins look golden.
From their point of view, they could see the horizontal and vertical roads stretching out along the field of vision until the end of the field of vision.
The Elder Elves don't advocate 'big' or 'tall' buildings, but none of them make people feel ugly, as if each one has been carefully designed by the best architects, neat, but so delicate that it is impossible to describe in words.
Through it, it seems that you can see the glory of the heyday of the ancient elves tens of thousands of years ago, and the dwarven kingdom is not comparable to it at all, and the gap between the two is as difficult to compare with an international metropolis and a small village in the mountains.
Compared to Viconia, who looked amazed, Ann Yizhi had very sinister thoughts in his head.
In such a big city, the loot you can find should be piled up in dimensional pockets, right?
