Chapter 281 Audrey's First Setback

Chapter 281 Audrey’s first setback

As the brilliant diamond reached out again and pulled open the heavy-looking devil's door, the information representing the "trial" was once again introduced into Audrey's consciousness, but even though she had concentrated her attention, she still couldn't.

No further information was obtained from it.

Following the cowardice and tendency shared by followers of The Fool, Audrey divined whether the door was dangerous, and the pendulum turned into a lie gave a clockwise direction of rotation, but the rotation was very slow.

Although Audrey was a novice in the extraordinary field, she had a considerable understanding of basic mysticism such as the pendulum. She immediately determined that such a result represented a slight danger, but it was very slight and acceptable.

"That's right! How can adventure be without danger? Even though it's just a small danger." Audrey muttered in her heart, and then threw a hare towards the dark door. The next moment, the rabbit seemed to suddenly appear.

It seemed to evaporate and disappeared into the room.

There were solid floor tiles under the Devil's Door, but the rabbit disappeared. Although she had long believed that this door had some kind of miraculous power, Audrey was still shocked by this magical scene.

After stabilizing her mood slightly, she took out her pendulum and started divination again. After repeated divination, she confirmed that the rabbit was still alive, still in reality, not far away from her, and might even be able to return on her own.

here.

After confirming these, Audrey finally made up her mind. She first took a solemn look at Susie, and then jumped into the door.

Susie, who was stopped by a look from trying to explore the route again, saw that Audrey had already set off, and immediately followed her. In an instant, the whole room became quiet again.



Audrey, who was protected by a paper man double, jumped into the door and instantly felt a subtle sense of weightlessness. Then she saw Ichika in front of her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she found that her eyes had become pitch black, leaving only

The very slight sound of water echoed in my ears.

Although the room I was in before was also very dark, it was still a lot better than the situation here where there was no light at all.

Audrey did not recklessly take out the hand lamp invented by Emperor Russell for lighting, but immediately turned on the spiritual vision. Although the effect was definitely not as good as the light, it was better than safety.

However, just when Audrey was about to take a closer look at her surroundings, a soft sound suddenly came from behind her. The girl suddenly took two steps forward. When she turned back, the brilliant diamond had already appeared beside her.

But the next moment, a familiar voice appeared along with the color of the etheric aura——

"Audrey, it's me!"

"Susie? Anthracene, you scared me to death!"

Audrey complained softly, and then looked at the surrounding environment with her spiritual vision.

Although it is not impossible to use the brilliant diamond's field of vision, it will cause her senses and body to be misaligned. It is just okay to observe, but once she encounters danger, she may not be able to react.

"Audrey, look, this is the rabbit we threw down before." Although Susie hasn't learned spiritual vision yet, as a dog, its vision in the dark is much better than that of humans. Audrey

Following its instructions, I saw a few rabbits lying there, but there were still a lot less than what she threw in.

"It looks like the rest have run away." Audrey looked around with faintly fluorescent eyes, and soon she saw masonry walls and ceilings made of similar materials.

It seemed to be a corridor, about five meters wide and three or four meters high. However, there was a two-meter-wide depression in the middle of the road that spread toward the distance.

It is worth noting that the double vision state in the ancient tower does not exist here. Whether it is the naked eye or the avatar, what is seen is the same scene. There are no illusory creations, but only real scenes.

When Audrey saw this situation, her expression suddenly became subtle. She seemed to have noticed Audrey's change. Susie, the mind reader, immediately said:

"Audrey, did you find anything?"

"Well, this trial place should be the sewer of the ancient tower..."

Audrey's expression was very tangled. Although the water channels here have been completely dry due to long-term use, even if some filth once flowed, there will no longer be any smell. But even so, Audrey thought about this.

When it comes to nature, I still subconsciously want to hold my breath.

Logically speaking, "what does a sewer look like" is not something a noble lady should know, but Audrey knows it. If you want to ask why, she can only say that it stems from this girl's desire for adventure since she was a child.

The eldest lady had an unsuccessful adventure in her childhood.

"Sewer? Does it need to be so wide?" Susie tilted her head, wondering why such a small ancient tower would need such a wide sewer, but Audrey recalled some unbearable past events.

Meaningful way:

"This is because the sewers of the castle also play a part of the role of hiding soldiers and defense. Many nobles with war experience will build the sewers of castles and mansions like this. If the exit is designed cleverly enough, it can even be used as an emergency

The moment of retreat.”

"Well, there are trials." Susie added, and Audrey nodded, "Yes, there are trials."

But now that she knew it was a sewer, Audrey felt a lot more at ease. Although the entrance was very fancy, if she wanted to, she could always blast a passage to the surface as long as she blasted it hard.

With this idea in mind, Audrey became much bolder. She waved her arms vigorously like a brave man who was about to enter the maze to defeat the Demon King——

"Let's go!"



"Audrey, we are back again..." Although she was in high spirits a dozen minutes ago, after returning to the same place for the third time, Audrey understood the gap between dreams and reality.

The adventure maze she imagined was filled with all kinds of monsters and secret treasures, and now, she even keeps getting lost.

"This is not occult! We didn't even turn a corner! And we have already walked through these three forks. There is no right path at all!" Audrey pointed to the three marked forks in front of her and said seriously.

, Susie could only tilt her head and said:

"But we did come back."

"But we have already tested all three intersections! Are we looking for Mr. Fool... No! Audrey! You have to cheer up! You are a senior adventure fan who has read hundreds of adventure novels. How can you meet this little one?

Do you shrink from difficulties?" Audrey instantly kicked away the idea of ​​asking for help, and began to recall the plots of the adventure novels she had read. After a moment, she raised her head again and said in a tone of "I was just careless before."

road--

"This fork in the road should not be a simple maze, but some kind of occult 'puzzle'. Well, yes, it must be like this. The trial has begun! It's so disgusting, I almost got deceived!"

"But Audrey, the trial started when we came in, right?"

ps: There is a lot of nonsense to write about divination statements. It is inevitable to cheat the word count when writing them in the main text, so I did not write them in the main text. However, in order to avoid a sense of fragmentation and whether it can really be judged by the pendulum, let me talk about Audrey here.

Divination sentences used——

The first divination statement is "There is danger at the Devil's Gate", and the result given by the pendulum is a slow clockwise rotation, which means there is a little danger, but it is very slight and acceptable.

Next is "The rabbit thrown into the door is still alive". The result given by the pendulum is a steady clockwise rotation, which means it is still alive, which is normal.

Then "the rabbit was transported to other planes", and the pendulum rotated rapidly counterclockwise, indicating that the rabbit was still in this plane.

Then there is "The rabbit is very far away from me". The pendulum rotates rapidly counterclockwise, indicating that the rabbit is very close to me.

Finally, "The rabbit can come back here on its own." The pendulum rotates clockwise, but at an extremely slow speed, which means that although it is possible, the probability is extremely small.
