Daoist, Zhenshanhe!

"Why do you have to solve a math problem after passing a level... It's the first time I've seen someone open a treasure chest like this." Gu Xingfan said, "But this math problem is quite interesting, I'll do the math."

As far as the strategy in Gu Shubai's memory, there is no such level. Is it because he and Gu Xingfan triggered the extra treasure box level?

But along the way, there is no chance for them to trigger additional levels, or it may be because of their character, is the treasure box a random drop?

Just thinking about the possibility, Gu Shubai keenly discovered that the human face on the tombstone suddenly opened his eyes. The puzzle was about Thanatos, the supreme god believed by the Dark Cult, but the human face was not like what they had seen before. the statue of the god.

"Damn it!" Lone Xingfan was taken aback by half of the calculation, that face was so delicately made, just like a real person, matched with his pale complexion and bloodshot eyes, he caught off guard and said, "It's true." Can scare people to death.

The human face laughed strangely, and said: "I have finally waited for you, Grian and Hogney's apprentices. I have been waiting for you in this dark place for decades, and you are finally here!"

Gu Shubai and Gu Xingfan looked at each other, and they immediately understood that it was their identities that triggered the special plot.

Gu Shubai knew for a long time that in Breeze City, Grian and Hogney were two equally famous scholars. When he was young, he represented Breeze City to the Southland Capital to attend a scholar conference, but he didn't know what happened later. The incident created a rift between the two former friends, and they became thorns in each other's eyes. They fought against each other for most of their lives. Not only that, they also strictly forbade their apprentices from having any contact with each other.

If there is no cat demon's cloak as evidence of revenge, becoming Hogney's apprentice requires completing a series of boring tasks from the tricky old man. Most of these tasks are copying books, drying books, organizing things, and greeting guests in the study Such tasks as time-consuming and less rewarding, but compared with Kyrian's conditions, it is much easier and more reliable to become a scholar by completing these tasks.

Glenn has a condition, that he will never accept one less apprentice than Hogney, and will never accept one more apprentice than Hogney.Once Hogney accepts an apprentice, Kyrian will inevitably accept another one. In this case, the player can inherit the scholar sub-profession from Kyrian basically without doing anything.But if the number of apprentices of the two old men is balanced, it is basically impossible to find a breakthrough from Grian.

At this time, Gu Xingfan remembered who Hogney was, but the grievances between NPCs should not be brought to the player, not to mention that Gu Xingfan didn't have a sense of substituting the plot at all, only for the current situation and the treasure chest in front of him interested.

The same is true for Gu Shubai. After clarifying the situation, Gu Shubai asked, "Who are you?"

The human face said: "I am Plotinus, a great scholar. Mathematics and architecture are my strengths. I met Glenn and Hogney in the small seaside town of Persburg. We met at a scholar exchange meeting and had a very good conversation. Huan, we both felt that it was too late to meet each other, and then, I was invited by the two of them to live in Breeze City, but unfortunately, on the way, I met someone from the dark sect who wanted to kidnap the three of us, and I rescued them with tricks. But I was robbed by the dark sect, and the two of them promised to rescue me before they left, but there has been no news since then!!"

Plotino roared and shouted: "I treat them like my own brothers, but they are wolf-hearted, how can I not be angry?"

"After I was arrested and secretly taught, I was sent here to build a maze to trap the monsters they captured to guard the library. Before the maze was completed, I suffered endless slavery day and night, without food and clothing, and without freedom. When I get along with that monster, I only worry that one day he will jump out from a dark corner and kill me! What scares me even more is not this, but the human heart!!"

With Plotinus's swelled anger, the human face also changed. The human face was still human, but at this moment, it was no different from an evil spirit. Plotinus, who was demonized by anger, roared. : "Why didn't they come to save me!! I counted the days and nights, looking forward to them coming to save me--I would give my life to save them, why didn't they want to come and save me!"

"How do you know they haven't tried to save you?" Gu Xingfan couldn't help interjecting and asked, "You are trapped here, how much can you know about the outside world? If the dark teacher wants to hide it, you don't know anything about it." Can't even hear it."

"I have escaped!" Plotino looked at Gu Xingfan angrily, with a smile on his lips that seemed to mock Gu Xingfan's ignorance, "I took advantage of the convenience of building an underground palace to dig out a way to escape to the outside world. Passage, it took me five years. During these five years, I was just like you, with hope. I believed that they were working hard to rescue me outside, and I never had the slightest doubt about them. But when I was good When Yi Yi fled to Breeze City, he saw that Hogney had long forgotten me! He and his wife lived happily together, he was laughing, there was no pain on his face, he had long forgotten that there was a time I would rather sacrifice my own life to rescue them from danger, but I live in endless pain and hell, my beautiful wife is waiting for my return by the sea, my child, my still alive A baby in swaddling clothes, he hasn't even met his father!"

"That's just Hogney, maybe Kyrian didn't give up saving you." Gu Xingfan said.

"Grian? He didn't even try to save me. The news that the two of them were jealous over a woman has spread throughout Breeze City! Both of them owe me! They both owe me!! Owe me a life -"

Hearing the words, Gu Xingfan shrugged helplessly. He couldn't know what was going on at the moment, so he had to cooperate with Plotino to vent his anger and appease him.

Gu Shubai asked at this time: "What do we need to do to make you vent your anger?"

"I want you to be buried with me."

Hearing Gu Shubai's calm voice, Plotino also acted a lot calmer, but the burning flame of revenge in his heart never went out. Not long after he escaped, he was captured by the dark sect and continued to build this huge building. underground labyrinth.What is different from before is that his current design is lifeless and lifeless. Just like his heart, Plotino finally created an abyss of despair and set up a mechanism here. He believes that one day, Hogney and Grian's apprentices or descendants will come here, and when one of them appears, they will be infected with his curse, tempting the two to come together, and when they both appear at the same time, it is the time to truly bear his boundless wrath .

"I'm sorry, maybe I will be buried with you when I am over a hundred years old and have nothing to love in my life, but at this moment, there is still anger in my heart that has not yet subsided, and I cannot die here yet."

"Oh?" Plotino looked at Gu Shubai coldly, "Compared to the anger in my heart, your point is just a spark, and you have no right to refuse."

"As a last resort, I may directly destroy this institution."

"Young man, let's not talk about whether you have the ability to destroy the mechanism, but let's talk about the price after destroying the mechanism. This mechanism connects the entire maze. Once the mechanism is damaged, the maze will also collapse. When the time comes, hide in the deepest part of the maze. That monster will escape the shackles of the labyrinth, and you too will die!"

"If you were afraid of us, you wouldn't come here." Gu Shubai said calmly.

Plotino took a deep look at Gu Shubai and said, "Hogney has taken in a good apprentice."

"Your grievances in the past have nothing to do with us." Gu Shubai said coldly, "Even if we are their apprentices, so what, what we inherit is not his blood, but the knowledge that has been passed down. They are people connected by blood, but two inheritors of knowledge. You said you have a wife and children, and we also have my sister. She is still young and cannot be separated from my care."

Plotinus remained silent, the anger on his face gradually extinguished, and he returned to his original pale appearance. After he pondered, he said, "Inheritors of knowledge? I want to see what you have inherited. If you are ruthless and unjust, then you just created two more devils in this world, why not just let me kill you here!"

"Sir, please come up with a question." Gu Shubai didn't want to waste any more time, so he went straight to the point.

Gu Xingfan said: "Don't, I want to talk to him again, I always feel something is wrong."

Gu Shubai glanced at Gu Xingfan coldly, Gu Xingfan immediately closed his mouth, "Uh, let's stop talking."

Plotinus highlighted the text on the tombstone again, and said: "This is the question, I will separate the two of you, if you can answer this question correctly, then I will set you free, and I am willing to put you in the All the treasures collected here are given to you. Remember, you only have 3 minutes to answer the questions, cherish your only chance."

Gu Shubai nodded and said, "It's time to start."

"Hey! Wait!" Gu Xingfan said, "Why did this start? Let's say a little code? Do you think secret chat can be used? Wait a minute and listen to my knocking sound, how many times means how many, What if there is a trap inside?"

Gu Xingfan's voice stopped abruptly, and the world became pure.

A blood red enveloped Gu Shubai, everything around him was cut off, only Gu Shubai and the numbers that were slowly turning in front of him were left, and even the title disappeared.

Those blood red pressures on Gu Shubai's heart, just looking at them makes people feel upset and anxious.

Gu Shubai took a deep breath, suppressed all the irritability that came out, focused on recalling the content on the tombstone, and began to calculate the answer in his head.

One minute later, Gu Shubai went to the rolling code where the answer was entered, and wrote his own answer.After confirming, there was a light "click", and the rolling code was locked. The surrounding environment has not changed, and Gu Xingfan has not given an answer.

Gu Shubai is not worried that Gu Xingfan will not be able to figure out this problem, he is only worried that Gu Xingfan will think too much.

After waiting another minute in the blood red, the desolation surrounding Gu Shubai gradually dissipated, and the scene in the maze returned to before his eyes.

Plotino's face collapsed, split in two, and the treasure chest slowly opened in front of them.

They got it right.
