The brave man who runs a hotel in an RPG

"Need... someone who can sense and manipulate elemental factors to help."

Monica was afraid that she felt embarrassed too, so she hesitated to finish the sentence.

I couldn't help laughing, it seemed that her brain was still a little bit better, and finally realized that her behavior of scolding Kane earlier made me angry.It’s just that Kane is not like me, as long as it’s not something that endangers his interests (such as Dieter stealing his "Light of Ilta"), he doesn’t hold much grudges, so he actively stood up when Monica’s voice was about to fall : "How to do it?"

Kane's high enthusiasm frightened Monica, she faltered: "Hurry up..."

Fred raised his eyebrows: "What are you rushing for?"

"Get rid of the scent... Just get rid of the scent, use... use elemental factors." Monica tugged at the corner of the nun's clothes as if racking her brains.

Monica's coy response made me think of a possibility, and I tentatively asked: "Monica, is your theoretical knowledge not good?"

"Alas--!"

——Ah, Monica is gorgeous, but it's interesting that humans can actually make that kind of sound.

"I...I..." She retorted, waving her hands wildly like a girl in an animation, "Theoretical exams...that's not important! I got an A in the actual combat exam!"

Wen Shania jumped out and teased her narrowly: "Eh? Can you graduate from the church if you fail the theoretical test?"

"Generally, make-up exams will be arranged..." Monica's voice faded.

"Have you passed?" Fred interjected.

"..."

Monica's facial expressions became more exaggerated, and the answer was obvious.

Flender sighed roughly, grabbed the little nun, bent his fingers and flicked her forehead: "You didn't hear what I said, did you? You can figure out how many years this has dragged on! Hero level upgrade If you don’t go up, you won’t be able to raise your mercenary level, and you won’t be able to get the church’s professional qualification certificate. When you reach level 70, you won’t be able to advance to the sage of the temple or the angel of light. You can only be a saint with no promise for a lifetime! There's a limit too! My Fred squad doesn't need useless mercenaries!"

Monica was yelled out of mosquito coils by Fred. Under the power of the subwoofer, she nodded and bowed and said yes. I was dumbfounded.

There is a gang of hard-to-learn scumbags. Monica proposed the idea of ​​element factors to drive away the molecules in the gas, and Kane came up with the idea after a little thought.

The real name of the wind element among the five elements should be "Qi". Only when Qi has speed can it be transformed into wind. Although the fragrance factor and the element factor are not the same thing, if countless small squares are divided in the air, Fragrance factors, like elemental factors, can only occupy a small square. According to the method of Sokoban, the idea of ​​driving away the fragrance can be realized.

With this theoretical basis, I think I understand the reason why the elemental factors in the nose-shaped space are too neatly arranged, that is, the scent factor is squeezed into the blank space, and the elemental factor can be seen by creatures with magic power, but the scent factor is You can't see what you can only smell, and if you want to get rid of the scent factors interspersed in it, you must find the vacated "small square" and put the element factors in, so as to slowly make room for the concentration of the scent factors.

There are two ways to change the coordinates of the elemental factors in the air: one is to absorb the existing elemental factors and then release them at a suitable position, but the capacity of the soul container is limited, so this will not be efficient; the other is to release magic to change the space. The flow direction of the elemental factors, the five major elements generate and restrain each other, master this law and calculate the route of the various elemental factors in advance, the second method only takes a short time to achieve the goal.

In order to reduce the burden, I added an additional laborer——I, whose career is magic, Kane wrote formulas and drew sketches, biting the pen and painstakingly explained to me for most of the day, but I heard a head and two big words , almost foaming at the mouth.

——Is this playing Huarong Tao or solving Sudoku? !

In the real world, mathematics is science, but in the magical world, mathematics is magic?They said that if you want to learn magic well, you must learn mathematics well... what an American joke.

My little IQ is enough to play the kind of cleverness when playing the game of kings. If I really want to solve such conjecture-level puzzles, I can only say no, the math teacher, we don’t make an appointment.

However, what I saw in front of me was not the math teacher, but Kane, the master magician with a helpless face.

"This is the only feasible way at present." Kane emphasized this for the seventh time with a straight face.

The implication is that I can't compromise.

I retorted unconvincingly: "Kane, you want me to fully grasp the theoretical knowledge that Monica has learned in the church for more than ten years, which is outrageous."

"Where are there so many..." Kane muttered, "I just watched it for a day."

He did not give up on persuading: "Al's brain is better than mine, and he will definitely be able to understand it. Believe in yourself, you can do it."

"Whoever said that my brain is better than yours, I will change this setting right away." I slapped the case.

Kane grabbed me, forced me into the stool, and said bitterly, "Forget it, I'll draw you a general formula diagram."

—You should have done that long ago, my dear.

It is simply impossible to expect me to seriously study the relevant knowledge, even though clicking on the skill can release the magic, especially in this out-of-the-ordinary situation.

Memorizing the formula diagram drawn by Kane by heart, and receiving the systematic and meticulous "intimate" tutoring from Teacher Kane with Monica, we returned to the nose-shaped space again.

Kane and I can't smell the smell, and the task of identifying the scent factor falls on Monica's shoulders. Prioritize creating a space for the three of us to breathe, and then it will be much easier to handle.

Before that, I would only use the power of the "Black Dragon" to manipulate elemental factors. This can be said to be a mysterious experience based on instinct. Now I am still a bit unfamiliar with it, even though I have just been trained by Kane. I can send elemental balls of several attributes without relying on skills, but I still have no idea.

The three of us stood outside the revolving door to adjust our breathing. Winsania stayed in the tent to take care of Rayleigh. Fred was on standby in the overlap area. Fish it back.

Looking into the nose-shaped space, trying to remember the arrangement order of the elements in the space within ten square meters in front of him, Kane took a last deep breath a few minutes later and said, "Let's get started."

I took a deep breath, and Monica blessed herself with a buff of pure heart and anti-maze, and the three of them rushed into the nose-shaped space and acted according to their respective division of labor.

Normal people can hold their breath for one to two minutes at a time. With the physical fitness of our 2th-level brave man, the breath-holding time can be extended to three to four minutes. Monica's buff effect can last for three minutes, which means we have three minutes to clear the air. Fragrance factor within ten square meters.

I concentrated my mind and released a highly condensed elemental ball to the elemental factors in the "square", driving the earth with the wind, driving the water with the soil, driving the fire with the water, driving the thunder with the fire, and driving the wind with the thunder. Incorporating a trace of dark power into the elemental ball can better intimidate.

At this moment, I can no longer see the normal scenery in my eyes. All I see are densely packed elemental factors. The three-dimensional chess surface is full of colorful chess pieces. Unfortunately, traitors called scent factors are mixed in among them. What I want What to do is——

Drive all the chess pieces that get in the way off the stage!

Don't think about the principle, don't go deep into the reason, and cooperate with Monica's instructions to mechanically apply the formula given by Kane. After dozens of times once or twice, the two steps of releasing magic and recovering elemental factors are already familiar with Heart, I refer to Kane's control method and improve my control ability and retraction measurement time and time again. After 3 minutes, the living space of [-] square meters is presented to us after hard work.

After getting Monica's permission, I swallowed a big mouthful of oxygen. In the past 3 minutes, a layer of sticky sweat was formed on my back. I found my breathing too fast and choked myself in embarrassment. The next bottle of water was saved.

Kane coughed a few times, and while brushing away the blond hair stuck to the back of his neck, he called back to Fred: "Ahem... Fred, you can come here."

Fred walked in as promised, looked at us several times and said with concern, "Are you all right?"

"Also" I held the bottle and waved my hand, then pointed the mouth of the bottle in a certain direction and narrowed my eyes, "Could it be the puzzle area there?"

——Where there is a statue of Quaid, there are puzzles. This has become a theorem in my mind.

Fred ordered: "Go and see."

3 square meters in [-] minutes, and you have to struggle for more than [-] minutes to get close to the puzzle area. A few people tacitly started working again.

……

It took less time to reach the puzzle area than I expected. Perhaps the three of them had already gotten used to it. After arriving at the puzzle area, we first checked the piece of paper with the puzzle-solving rules posted nearby.

The puzzle in the nose-shaped space is called "Distinguishing Fragrances" (inability to complain), the requirement is to distinguish the number of scents that exist in this space, and after getting the result, fill in the correct number in the magic circle on the paper to pass the level.

The statue of Quaid holding the perfume bottle next to the paper is actually carved in a naive manner. I feel that the majesty of the Lord of Shadows has been challenged in a strange way.

"That, that bottle...wow!"

Monica suddenly screamed and wanted to pull the clothes of Kane and me. She stretched out her hand in the air and then retracted it, instead she urged anxiously: "The scent comes from that bottle, stay away from this statue!"

I was startled, covered my nose and ran away.

(Instructor, what happens if you break that bottle?)

"Oh, Mr. Brave hasn't spoken to me for a long time. I miss you so much."

The lazy voice of the guide really didn't feel very good to my ears, who was running for my life.

(Come on, I just asked you the time in the morning. Answer my question quickly!)

"Master Brave wants to destroy the puzzle? If you break the bottle, you won't be able to complete the mission."

Hey, I was still thinking about slowly distinguishing the types of fragrance after smashing, so I was thinking too much.

--Ok? !

The running pace stopped, and I stood there in a daze.

——Here is... where?

There is a cloud of mist rolling around my feet, surrounded by magnificent carved beams and painted pillars, and I smell a refreshing fragrance in my nose. This fragrance makes my heart beat strongly, and the sound of heartbeat makes my brain go crazy Paste - to be able to smell this scent means I...

(Guide?)

... dead silence.

I know, just like when I was invited to go, my consciousness has probably been separated from the nine-pointed star array.
