Chapter 21 Crack
Mist Hidden Castle.
Shiuyi and Barkler and Christine are discussing what happened today.
"Things have changed far beyond our imagination. The Dardanelles are facing threats from all directions. Shuei, if you can't think of a solution to the problem, we will be very sad in the days ahead." Barkler said seriously.
Christine also asked him: "What are you going to deal with your relationship with Princess Avril? If she recognizes you..."
"I won't hurt her." Xiuyi said with great certainty: "She is not sure that I am Xiuyigra. I can use teleportation array technology, just like in Royo City, to let Xiuyigra and Siser Dardanell appear in two places at the same time to dispel her suspicion. That will be the time for me to take action against Weston and Raschel, and count Bateson if necessary."
"It's a solution, the question is when is the right time?" Barkler asked.
Xiuyi lowered her head and thought: "If Avril doubts me, she will definitely take the initiative to create a chance to meet me again. We just need to wait quietly."
A strange color flew across Christine's eyes: "You can see that she is deeply in love with you."
Is it jealous or jealous?
Xiu Yi didn't know.
He walked over and gently hugged Christine's waist, trying to make her feel her care for her and use her actions to open the knot in her heart.
This method has achieved good results. Christine snuggled in his arms, with deep affection in his eyes.
...
The days that followed became a bit monotonous and dull.
Those who threatened the Shuyi and the Dardanelles did not come to the door immediately, and the Dardanelles survived a rare period of peace.
During this period, there were two major events. One was that after negotiating with Xiu Yi, the heads of various businesses officially bought the land near the Magic Academy and started the construction of an alchemy factory. The project of this kind of factory is not big and is expected to be completed in no time. The other thing is to make every effort to solve the secret of the castle.
For Xiu Yi, practicing is a long-term thing. He cannot immediately become a strong man in a short period of time, but alchemy is different. In the city of Winlington, a crisis-by-step city, he urgently needs to further strengthen his strength. He once believed that he, who owned Electra's notes and laboratory, was closer to this laboratory than anyone else, but when he racked his brains but couldn't find a solution to the problem, he finally began to realize that he was still too far away from the legendary alchemist. This made him feel a little discouraged.
But today, Nancy, who is far away in the Valley Laboratory, brought him good news: "I know you are studying the problem of solving the Blood Sacrifice Array recently. You know I can't help you in this regard. And as you said, I have searched every corner of the laboratory and found no information related to this. But today, the Magic Puppet Assistant told me that it might give you some good suggestions."
The devil assistant? Xiu Yi was stunned. He didn't expect that the devil assistant who was left in the laboratory to know about the alchemy in this area.
"Call it over," he said quickly.
The huge head of the Magic Assistant No. 6 appeared in the crystal ball.
He shook his head and said to the crystal ball, "Hello, my new master."
"I hope you can tell me good news, No. 6. I mean, can you help me unlock the secrets of your former master's castle?"
"Oh, if you ask me about the Blood Sacrifice Formation and that castle, I have nothing to tell you."
"So what can you tell me?" Xiu Yi was not angry. He knew that this thing was very rigid.
"What I can tell you is about my former master's understanding of the alchemy mechanism."
"Okay, that will also help me think."
"Yes, my smart new master. Mrs. Nancy told me that you got another lab from my former master, but it was dangerous and people who entered casually would die. This reminded me of some things my former master had said."
"What's the matter?"
"He never advocates the alchemy mechanism that must die. He believes that any mechanism trap should be left with a way to survive, a way to crack it."
"Very good, I think so too. Electra is not a murderer, nor should it be. And that statue should be the key."
"That's true, that should be the key to entering the laboratory."
"key?"
"Yes. My former master had two basic habits when leaving his laboratory. One was to leave a powerful monster for supervision, and the other was to need a key to open it. This key was not necessarily a key to form, but a certain condition that needs to be met. For example, the stone gate magic array in the valley laboratory is the key. If you did not untie that magic array at the beginning, you would not be able to enter the laboratory, otherwise what awaits you would be a terrible encounter."
"That is, my current thinking is correct. If I don't unravel the mystery of the statue, entering the laboratory will be a dead end."
"Yes, but obviously you have a wrong way of resolving your mystery. You focus on the blood sacrifice array inside the statue."
"You think this is wrong?"
"My former master played a very smart trick. He knew that anyone who covet his laboratory was a fanatical pursuit of alchemy. If there was a magic circle that they had never seen before, they would definitely concentrate on cracking it."
"You mean, that's a trap, I don't have to pay attention to the magic circle inside the statue?"
"Yes, I know my former master very well. He believes that the best alchemy trap lies not in the strength of the trap itself, but in the grasp of the human heart. So if you are struggling to break a magic circle that you cannot even touch because of your persistent pursuit of alchemy, then you may not be able to solve his mystery in your life. If you change your thinking, maybe you will find that things are not that difficult."
A ray of light flashed in Xiuyi's eyes: "Change your thoughts..."
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "No. 6, what else do you have to understand your former master?"
No. 6 replied: "He always believed that a lock could be added on the door to knowledge, but it is enough to open the key to that lock, just put it in a more secret way."
Xiu Yi suddenly realized.
"Thank you very much, No. 6, without you, I might still be lingering on how to open the statue safely. But in fact, Electra had already told me clearly that he did not want anyone to destroy the castle."
As he said that, he stood up and hurried towards the castle gate.
When he came, he kept regretting it. All he had been thinking about was how to safely open the statue, contact the blood sacrifice array inside, and then crack the mechanism left by Electra, so that he could safely enter the laboratory.
But in fact, Electra had long left behind ways and ways to enter the laboratory. The statue was not used for destruction, it was just a key. The key should be used repeatedly. Its existence was used to open the door, not to be destroyed.
From the beginning, Xiu Yi fell into a misunderstanding of thinking.
The disappearance of those blood stains may not be a discovery, but a reminder, which was the prompt that Electra intended to stay on it, but Xiuyi thought that he had accidentally discovered this big secret, so he clearly found the key, but he never realized the original intention of the key.
Standing in front of the four-winged Toothed Beast statue at the entrance of the castle, Xiu Yi repeatedly observed the two stone statues.
These two stone statues have ferocious appearance, sharp teeth, wide wings, and majestic momentum. In the past, Xiu Yi had not carefully observed their existence, but now, Xiu Yi has finally found that the teeth of the two stone statues are slightly different.
The stone statue on the right has a small inward curved teeth than the stone statue on the left. If you don’t observe carefully, you will not notice it at all.
Xiuyi stepped forward and tried to pull the little tooth, but there was no movement at all.
He thought about it and followed the pointing of his little teeth and opened his mouth towards the stone statue.
Xiu Yi could feel a small bulge in the mouth of the stone statue.
Press it hard, and the bulge disappears into the mouth of the beast.
"That's all?" Xiu Yi was a little confused. He sensitively realized that it should not be that simple. As Assistant No. 6 said, Electra's alchemy trap is aimed at the human heart, not the mechanism itself. When you feel that you have completed it, perhaps it is far from enough.
After thinking about it, Xiuyi came to the stone statue on the left again.
After walking around the stone statue, Xiu Yi suddenly found that the eyes of the stone statue seemed to have changed color. The eyes that were originally gray are now slightly red.
With a slight movement in his heart, Xiuyi pressed hard on the stone statue's eyes.
The two stone eyes shrank into the stone statue at the same time. A dull sound came from the tower not far away, as if the sound of gears turning.
Xiu Yi let out a long breath, this is the complete way to close the laboratory.
If anyone thinks that even if he finds the bulge of the stone statue on the right, he will be very wrong.
The stone statue on the left is actually the way to close the laboratory mechanism, while the stone statue on the right is actually the mechanism that starts the stone statue on the left. The traps arranged by Electra are linked together and you will be fooled if you are not careful.
Maybe someone had discovered the secret of a stone statue before, but he ignored the eyes of the stone statue on the left. As a result, after entering the laboratory, he still encountered an unexpected accident.
Without the reminder of the Devil's assistant, Xiu Yi might not have discovered this secret in his life. Of course, even if he discovers it, it may be just a dead end.
Standing in front of the tower, Xiuyi knew that the time for adventure was coming.
Putting his finger in his mouth, Xiu Yi let out a loud whistle.
In the air, red and green circled down and fell to his shoulders.
Xu Kuang rushed out of an unknown corner and rushed into his arms.
The black warrior and the undead demon rat also appeared in the tower, waiting for Xiu Yi's orders.
Although all the institutions of the laboratory have been closed, Xiuyi is still ready to face danger before entering the laboratory.
