Chapter five hundred and eighty: bombing the door
It wasn't until the two of them followed the spiral staircase to the next floor that Mo Tan finally succeeded in distracting Ji Xiaoge, making her divert her thoughts away from the possibility of harvesting a dragon egg for cooking.
"Well, it doesn't seem to be much different from the previous floor. It just has 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 on the previous floor in terms of size, specifications, decoration and dilapidation before looking at the door in the distance.
, because the spiral staircase does not intend to continue to extend downward, so the door opposite that looks very old, as if it is 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 Mo Tan's shoulder for a while, and muttered: "But it's much better than the stone wall next to it.
"
Mo Tan nodded slightly, frowned and said: "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 clock tower. If that tower looks at least a few
With a history of hundreds of years, this Tomb of the Dragon King is truly a 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 clock tower is just a mage tower with many simplified functions, but here is the Dragon King who has occupied the Holy Dragon Peak for generations.
The history of the tomb can even be traced back to thousands of years before the Holy Calendar. Not only are several generations of dragon kings sleeping there, but also many high-status dragon clans are sleeping again. Both the specifications and the background are better than the clock tower.
No matter how many times you think about it, you shouldn’t be so seriously eroded by time.”
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, it shouldn't be like this logically? 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 smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then quickly accelerated his pace and ran forward. However, the difference in movement speed between the two 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 had not touched 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 on his face, 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, just like Ji Xiaoge.
Strength, if you can push it, it will be awesome.
"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, and then floated back to the ground again, spreading her hands and saying: "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 Continent of Innocence. It is just to replace 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.
The dragon language magic that comes here, even the elemental magic commonly used by other races, as long as the dragons are willing to study hard, they can still become masters. After all, they have long lifespan, and their innate physical fitness does not make them as strong as ordinary spell casters.
Fragile. (ps: Jared Kadisel and his ilk are not ordinary spellcasters)
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 function must have had a lot of things similar to 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 in a timid manner, 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 feels like there is no other way except to push it away with great 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."
Easily passed the way, well..."
He narrowed his eyes and began to think, quickly analyzing the information the two of them had just obtained, and conducting high-level screening in his mind.
Mechanisms and the like are not realistic. Since there were entrance guards made of magic in the past, it would be superfluous to make some clumsy ones, such as door-opening mechanisms that will be triggered by pressing or stepping on any place. This kind of low-end plot needs
'It definitely doesn't exist in the game Innocence.
As for the door itself, there is no doubt about its strength. Even if it is not infused with magic power, it may not be as good as before, but it has no problem at all to stop Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge, two twenty-something players. In exchange for two giant dragons
It might be possible to push this thing that has tripped over here, but they really can't do it no matter what.
So, where is the problem?
While Mo Tan stroked his chin and thought, 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 and I
Xiaoge classmate...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 a bucket of broken tea eggs for humans from the hands of the still confused opponent, then quickly came to the door and carefully placed the explosives in the lower left corner of the door.
things.
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 hard, these tea eggs will definitely not be able to do it."
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 buckets 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 person 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 shows how shocked the girl was at this moment.
"No, it's probably 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 with a reserved look and said modestly, "Actually, I took 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 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. Ji Xiaoge followed closely and ducked through.
The next moment, the two of them were 'thrown'... onto the soft carpet in a strong sense of weightlessness.
"here it is……"
Ji Xiaoge pushed himself up and looked around the environment vaguely with his almond-shaped eyes that seemed to be spinning mosquito coils: "Whose living room is it?"
Mo Tan, who had come back to his senses earlier, shook his head, first stood up with difficulty, then reached out to pull Ji Xiaoge up, 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 'Tomb of the Dragon King' that the two of them had seen 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, fireplaces, lounge chairs, cushions, square tables, and tea sets.
The room is fully equipped with snack basket and wine cabinet.
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.
People who are very rich and know how to enjoy themselves better.
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 dark golden hair on the desk. You must know that just before the two of them blinked last time,
There was only one 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 predetermined 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 funnyly and smiled...
"I am the Dragon King Posh Gallon, and I am about to die."
