The Villain Only Wants to Live a Buddhist Life2

Dak stopped his hand, and when his fingers approached the gear, they touched a transparent film.

He changed his gestures accordingly, from "poking" to "touching".

After one lap, he figured out the structure of that layer of membrane—it was a soft shell shaped like a football.

With a little force with your fingers, you can press marks on the soft shell.

But if you continue to press down, you will find that you can't press it at all.

Emma and Sarah were blocked out by this soft shell.

"Indeed, if you can't even reach in, how do you activate the checkpoint?"

Dak shook his head and withdrew his hand.

When encountering this situation, the first thing he thought of was a violent breakthrough.

Maybe summoning a high-attack magic spirit can directly pierce it.

But this obviously does not meet the requirements of the assessment.

"Maybe, this membrane is the checkpoint?"

Duck couldn't help thinking about it.

Then after careful consideration, he summoned the "Dream Demon"!

The reason why he chose to summon the "Dream Demon" was naturally because it was a "ghost".

The "ghost butterfly" he encountered not long ago inspired him.

Since the gear is protected by a physical barrier that can be touched, then use a "ghost" that can pass through the wall!

"Demon-"

As soon as the little dream demon appeared, she pounced on his face.

He quickly stretched out his hands, grabbed its sides, then flipped it over so that it faced the gear, and said, "There is an invisible shield on the outside of this gear. See if you can pass through it?"

"Demon-"

Meng Yao shook her head violently.

"If it's a magic barrier, can't you penetrate it wantonly?"

Dak tasted its meaning, but still said: "Try?"

Only then did Meng Yao squeeze out a small tentacle like a hand from her body, and lightly tapped the membrane outside the gear.

As a result... directly penetrated the past!

"Sure enough, it's a physical barrier."

Dak's eyes brightened, and he felt that he might have found the right way to crack it.

Originally, these magic markers were designed for second graders, and the difficulty cannot be too high, at most, it is suitable for different groups of people.

Just like what he encountered at the beginning, the level that needs to solve math problems is very suitable for the students of the Magic Academy.

And the checkpoint in the dense forest not long ago is very suitable for the students of the Knight Academy.

As for the gear level in front of me, I am afraid it is aimed at students with "penetrating ability".

And just as Dak was thinking this way, the little dream demon's tentacles had already touched the gear.

In an instant, the gears that were floating quietly began to rotate at high speed.

A strange magic power diffuses from the center of the gear like a vortex.

Dak didn't respond, and was enveloped by the magic vortex together with the dream monster.

The ground under his feet seemed to be stained black with jet-black ink, and lost its brilliance in an instant.

When he looked down and looked up again, even the gears disappeared completely.

The entire field of vision was completely pitch black, only the outline of Meng Yao's body glowed with light.

Dak suddenly realized something.

This should be a level that can only be triggered by ghost wizards!

"But how to break it?"

When this thought flashed through his mind, the darkness in his vision was suddenly dispelled, and the light centered on one point and spread around.

But the restored world is no longer a broken wall behind the castle.

Dak suppressed his inner curiosity, and slowly looked around.

The ground beneath his feet had become flat masonry—unclean, but uncracked.

The walls and broken stone pillars that should have collapsed have suddenly been erected again.

The entire ruined land turned into a piece of urban buildings with strange styles.

He has never seen this style of architecture in books, and several typical ancient cultures are also quite different from it.

The animal heads carved everywhere as "totems" are also difficult to identify.

When he subconsciously wanted to get closer and take a closer look, the ground under his feet suddenly started to recede.

As a result, his body galloped forward rapidly.

The buildings on both sides of the body disappeared from the eyes like flowing water.

Then it suddenly freezes!

Dak's eyes widened, and he suddenly found himself in a church-like building.

The interior of this building is hollow, with a hemispherical zenith on top of the head, and windows are scattered all over the surrounding walls. Fiery light is injected from countless small windows, making the indoor light so bright that it is dazzling.

In an instant, white light exploded.

Dak lost consciousness for a moment, and when he woke up again, he was standing among the ruins again.

He raised his head suddenly, and the huge castle was reflected in his eyes.

The gears floating in the air also stopped spinning.

He subconsciously reached out to explore, but found that the "membrane" protecting the gear had completely disappeared, and he could directly touch the gear with his outstretched hand.

This made him unable to bear a question in his mind: "What about the assessment?"

He originally thought that this was also an assessment in the illusion, but in the end, apart from watching a scene of an ancient city like riding a train, there was nothing left.

Although that scene can indeed shake people's hearts, there is really no element of puzzle solving.

With a hint of doubt, Dak took out the "magic power collector" to collect it.

When he fills a grid, the "10" on the gear becomes a "9".

At this point, his "Simulated Adventure Assessment" was officially completed.

……

About 2 minutes passed after that.

A "membrane" is regenerated around the gear's periphery.

Dak tried repeatedly, and finally waited until his finger was "filmed".

With a flash of his gaze, he let the little dream demon stretch out its tentacles again, pass through the "membrane" and touch the gear.

At the moment of contact, the gears began to rotate at high speed.

The corner of Dak's mouth couldn't help curling up.

"It's done!"

Sure enough, this magic marker is not advanced enough to be recognized independently.

The little dream demon triggered the mechanism of the gear again.

In a blink of an eye, Dak came to that ancient city again.

This time, he was prepared and quickly memorized the architectural model of this ancient city.

Until he entered the church-like building again, he squinted his eyes and looked towards the center of the building, finally seeing the strange decorations hanging on the wall in the middle.

It was a strange shape with a wing on each side of the giant gear.

【???】

It's like...the gears of ascension!

……

The light disappeared instantly.

The darkness is fleeting.

Dak "returned" to the ruins again.

Then he summoned the "Magic Secretary", and used a magic pen to draw and record in the "Magic Secretary".

When the "membrane" outside the gear was reborn again, he instructed the little dream demon to stretch out his greedy hand again...

So the third time, the fourth time...

Dak Dimon plucked the wool without sadness or joy.

It wasn't until he entered that ancient city for the tenth time and exited again that he suddenly discovered that something was wrong with the gear.

Although the number above the gear is still "9", why is there a sense of instability that is wobbling?

"Could it be too much?"

Dak couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

……

The top of the castle.

Professor Pava Jones came to this side at some point, looking far away with a blank face.

The gear of "Land of Ancient Ruins" was actually a surprise specially prepared by her.

As long as you summon the ghost-type magic wizard to touch the gear, you can activate the mechanism of the gear and lead the magician into the illusion to experience the style of the ancient city.
