Quadruple split

It wasn't until the two of them reached the next floor along the spiral staircase that Mo Tan finally succeeded in distracting Ji Xiaoge, making her take her mind away from the possibility of harvesting a dragon egg for cooking.

"Well, it doesn't seem to be any different from the previous level, except that there is an extra door."

Mo Tan, who was the first to jump down the steps, quickly looked around and made sure that the space the two of them were in was the same as the one above in terms of size, specifications, decoration and dilapidation before looking at the door in the distance. , because the spiral staircase has no intention of continuing downward, so the door opposite that looks very old and seems to be made of some kind of jade should be the only way.

"It's quite beautiful, but it's not well maintained."

Ji Xiaoge, who was ordered to stay behind Mo Tan, jumped on the spot twice, looked at the huge door over the former's shoulder for a while, and muttered: "But it's much better than the stone wall next to it. .”

Mo Tan nodded slightly and frowned: "I've been feeling a little strange since just now. You should also be able to tell that the sense of the times here is worse than that of Ah Sang's [Time Tower]. If that tower looks at least With hundreds of years of history, this Dragon King’s Tomb is a real thousand-year-old relic.”

Ji Xiaoge blinked, tilted his head and asked curiously: "Is it weird? I think it's normal for this kind of handsome ancient tomb to look older than the mage tower."

"No, this is actually not normal."

As Mo Tan slowly walked towards the huge jade door, he muttered: "No matter how you say it, Ah Sang's [Time Tower] is just a mage tower with many simplified functions, but it has been the seat of the Holy Dragon Peak for generations." The Tomb of the Dragon King has a history that can even be traced back thousands of years before the Holy Calendar. Not only are several generations of Dragon Kings sleeping there, but there are also many high-status dragon clans resting here. Both in terms of size and heritage, it is better than the [Chronograph Tower]. I don’t know how many times stronger I am, no matter how I think about it, I shouldn’t be subject to such severe time erosion.”

Ji Xiaoge's reaction was not slow. Hearing this, he immediately showed a thoughtful look: "You mean there is something wrong with the Dragon King's tomb? In fact, logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this? Then your mission..."

"It's just a guess. As for the 'test' in the mission, it shouldn't be affected, otherwise the mission requirements wouldn't be so simple and straightforward."

Mo Tan smiled at the girl who turned to the other side with a worried expression, shrugged and said, "And seeing as this place has been abandoned for so long, you shouldn't have to worry too much about safety issues. Of course, you should be careful... Hey! "

But after Ji Xiaoge said Mo Tan's words, "Don't worry too much," he immediately fluttered his wings like a bird escaping from its cage, and flew straight towards the door with a burst of fragrant wind and cheers.

"Listen to what others have to say..."

Mo Tan shook his head with a wry smile, and then hurriedly accelerated his pace and ran forward. However, the difference in their moving speeds was too big. When he successfully arrived in front of the door, Ji Xiaoge had already been floating there studying for a long time.

Seeing that the girl did not trigger any trap, Mo Tan didn't say anything more. He just stared straight at the blurred reliefs on the door in front of him and asked without raising his head: " Have you found anything in your research?”

"I wear safety pants."

Ji Xiaoge floated down next to the stiff-faced Mo Tan with a smile, and frowned slightly after saying something particularly sharp: "Nothing has been studied, and the decorations on it have basically been worn away beyond recognition. There is no I found anything that looked like a doorbell or a keyhole, and I tried to push it twice, but it didn’t open.”

The last sentence is obviously a bit redundant. You must know that this door is more than 20 meters high. If it is open, it can even accommodate two slender dragons entering and exiting side by side. It looks even more weighty, as far as Ji Xiaoge is concerned. Strength, if you can push it, it will be a ghost.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, then put his hand on the door that was supposedly the only access and pushed hard twice. As expected, it didn't move at all.

Ji Xiaoge took out a small hammer of unknown quality from his luggage and knocked on the door. He shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be a common material, at least in the "Intermediate Materials Science" that Teacher Lu Wei gave me. , but I turned on the engineering hammer for half a second just now, which means that the magic-guiding property of this door should be very good, um, wait a moment..."

I saw her fluttering her wings and flying up, using the small hammer to knock on several other places of the door and the surrounding walls, then she floated back to the ground, spread her hands and said: "There is no magic power flowing, it seems that even before this door Whatever mechanisms there are, they are all ineffective now.”

Mo Tan immediately understood what Ji Xiaoge meant. The so-called 'mechanisms' did not only refer to traps and the like, but also included things similar to access control methods, such as anti-gravity designs that can make the door lighter. The design of automatically opening the door after certain detections is similar to the advanced electronic access control in the real world.

This method is very common in the Innocence Continent. It simply replaces the electronic AI with magic, enchantment or prohibition. The dragon race, a race with almost no shortcomings, naturally does not know how to cast spells, not to mention that they are born with it. Dragon language magic, even the elemental magic commonly used by other races, dragons can become masters as long as they are willing to study hard. After all, they have long lives, and their innate physical fitness will not make them as fragile as ordinary spell casters. . (PS: Jadeka Diesel and his ilk are not ordinary spell casters)

All in all, according to the analysis of Ji Xiaoge, a semi-professional who studied under Mr. Lu Wei, the door in front of the two people with extremely powerful magic-guiding functions must have had a lot of things like magic access control in the past, but today, it has There is no magic flowing anymore, and it is almost like an electronic security door that has tripped. Apart from basic features such as thickness, hardness, and weight, there are no high-tech factors anymore.

"This is troublesome..."

The girl put away her little hammer and sat beside Mo Tan with her knees in distress, wrinkled her nose and muttered: "I guess it can be opened in some convenient and quick way, but now, alas... It felt like there was no other way except to push it away with super, super, super force.”

Mo Tan nodded while looking carefully at the door made of some kind of jade in front of him, and said softly: "We can't get into trouble. Since the task is not to 'try to open the door' but to 'test', it means that there is something more complicated here." Easy way through, well..."

He narrowed his eyes and began to think, quickly analyzing the information the two of them had just obtained, sifting through it in his mind at high speed.

Mechanisms and the like are not realistic. Since there were entrance guards made of magic in the past, then making some clumsy ones, such as door-opening mechanisms that can be triggered by pressing or stepping on any place, is obviously superfluous. This kind of low-end plot needs 'Definitely not in the game Innocence.

As for the door itself, there is no doubt about its strength. Even if it is not as strong as before without the infusion of magic power, it is no problem at all to stop Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge, two twenty-something players. In exchange for two giant dragons It may be possible to push this thing that has tripped over here, but they really can't do it anyway.

So, where is the problem?

While Mo Tan was stroking his chin and thinking, he took two steps back and carefully looked at the extremely solid obstacle in front of him.

[An accident caused this cemetery to be affected by time, but the door that lost its magic supply and defensive measures is still strong. Compared with other things that have been partially weathered, thousands of years have not destroyed it, and I Classmate Xiao Ge...wait a minute! 】

Mo Tan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly moved his eyes away in the next second, shifting his focus from the door to...

On the wall where this door is!

The weather-beaten wall has been smoothed over by the years!

"Ye Ge, give me a bucket of tea eggs, and then step back!"

Mo Tan quickly turned to Ji Xiaoge, and took half the bucket of [Fragmented Tea Eggs for People] from the still confused opponent, and then quickly came to the door and carefully placed it in the lower left corner of the door. Those explosives.

And Ji Xiaoge, who said, "Although I don't know what happened, I still obey first" had already fluttered his wings and shouted to Mo Tan in confusion: "What are you going to do? This door is super hard, these tea eggs must not There's no way to blow it up."

"I know, I don't intend to blow this door open~"

Mo Tan had just finished placing the last tea egg at this moment, and then cautiously moved away from the 'explosion zone' step by step. It was not until he had retreated nearly twenty meters that he suddenly waved the Mandala of Justice in his hand. He threw an [Arc Shadow Slash] in the air!

BOOOOOOM! ! !

A series of roars suddenly exploded in the distance. It only took less than half a second for the tea eggs that were carefully placed in a certain order to explode, turning into a ball of flames that rose into the sky and exploded, and then... …

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work."

Ji Xiaoge fell back to Mo Tan with regret, looked at the door in the distance that was still intact after the smoke and dust cleared, spread his hands and said: "This thing is too strong, it is equivalent to at least twenty barrels of tea eggs." Only by compressing it to one can we hope to explode it accurately. Well, either you wait here for two days, and I will go back to Tianzhu Mountain first and let the teacher help...Eh!?"

"Didn't I just say that I had no intention of blowing this door open from the beginning."

Mo Tan blinked at Ji Xiaoge happily, and looked at the big hole in the lower left corner of the door with the girl, and said with a smile: "But if it is a wall that has been eroded by time for thousands of years, even if there is no need for tea eggs, I will have one by myself. A man can cut a path with a sword for several hours."

Ji Xiaoge was almost stupid at this moment. She stared at the gap in the wall made by her own tea eggs and murmured: "You must be crazy! How can the door be so hard as the wall! The design of this cemetery I’m afraid you weren’t invited by the monkey to tease me?!”

Such unladylike words came out, which showed how shocked the girl was at this moment.

"No, it's not what you think."

Mo Tan shook his head, and walked towards the big gap in the wall and said, "I think this place must have been under the long-term protection of some kind of power, and this door is the most formal and convenient entrance and exit. , but after so many years, the wall has obviously lost its protection, but it can no longer hold up, but the door made of unknown materials is still strong, so..."

Ji Xiaoge was immediately shocked: "So you thought of blowing up the wall?"

Mo Tan nodded reservedly and said modestly, "Actually, I am taking a trick, because the mission description did not mention this point, so I can think with the premise that 'there is indeed some kind of shortcut way', otherwise it would really be wrong." It’s not easy to think of.”

"That's pretty awesome!"

"No, no, ah, I'll take the lead."

Mo Tan waved his hand gently, and then took the lead in ducking through the big hole, followed closely by Ji Xiaoge, who ducked through the waist.

The next moment, the two of them were 'thrown' to...the soft carpet in a strong sense of weightlessness.

"here it is……"

Ji Xiaoge stood up awkwardly and looked around the environment vaguely with his almond-shaped eyes that seemed to be spinning small mosquito coils: "Whose living room is it?"

Mo Tan, who had come back to his senses earlier, shook his head, first stood up with great effort, then reached out to pull up Ji Xiaoge, nodded and said: "It does look a bit like it, we seem to have been teleported..."

This is a space with an area of ​​about 60 square meters. It is completely different from the 'Dragon King Tomb' that the two of them saw before. There are not so many tall objects that look majestic and solemn, and there are no giant dragons that have been filled with mosaics over time. The relief group does not have a huge spiral staircase that allows ordinary races to rock climb. Instead, it is a room covered with warm and soft wine-red carpets. The walls on both sides are lined with large antique bookshelves, a fireplace, lounge chairs, cushions, square tables, and tea sets. , snack basket, wine cabinet are all available in the room.

The citrine chandelier in the center of the room exudes a soft halo, illuminating the entire room exceptionally brightly. The small alchemy teapot on the desk at the end is bouncing and spraying white mist, filling the air with elegant tea. fragrant.

[The owner here may not be a rich person, but he is definitely a person who knows how to enjoy...]

Mo Tan thought subconsciously, and overturned his previous conclusion in the next second.

[A person who is very rich and knows how to enjoy himself. 】

He corrected himself in his mind.

"Hello."

Suddenly, a gentle male voice sounded in front of the two of them. Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge took a closer look and saw a middle-aged man with long dark golden hair on the desk. You must know that just before the two of them blinked last time , there was only a teapot dancing happily.

"Who are you……"

As soon as Ji Xiaoge said two words, he was gently interrupted by the other party.

"This is an image, an image that cannot be used for interaction and can only present established content, so please do not try to communicate with this kind of thing, because it will only talk at its own pace."

The man leaning on the table pointed at himself comically and smiled...

"I am Dragon King Bosh Gallon, and I am dying."
