Chapter 583: Exploding 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, allowing her to divert her thoughts from the possibility of harvesting a useful item. The dragon eggs that come to stir-fry are removed.
"Well, there seems to be no difference between this place and the previous floor, except that there is an extra door."
Mo Tan, who jumped down the steps first, quickly looked around and made sure The space that the two of them were currently in was no different from the previous floor in terms of size, specifications, decoration, or dilapidation. Then they looked at the door in the distance. Because the spiral staircase had no intention of continuing to extend downward, looking at the door from the opposite side The door that looks very old and seems to be made of some kind of jade should be the only way up.
“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 the former's shoulder for a while, and muttered: "But it's much better than the stone wall next to it. "
Mo Tan nodded slightly and frowned: "I've been feeling a little strange since just now, and you should be too. It can be seen that the sense of time here is more serious than that of Ah Sang's [Time Tower]. If that tower looks at least a few hundred years old, then this Dragon King's Tomb is a real thousand-year-old relic."
Ji Xiaoge blinked, tilted his head and asked curiously: "Is it weird? I think this kind of handsome ancient tomb is better than The Mage Tower looks normal for its age."
"No, this is actually not normal."
Mo Tan pondered as he walked slowly towards the huge jade door. "Ah Sang's [Chronograph Tower] is just a mage tower with many simplified functions after all, but this place has been used for generations. The Dragon King's Tomb at Zhensheng Dragon Peak has a history that can even be traced back 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 buried here. Both in terms of size and heritage, it is better than [Chrono Tower] is countless times stronger, no matter how you think about it, it 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 should not be like this logically? Then your mission..."
"It's just a guess. As for the 'test' in the mission, it should not be affected, otherwise the mission requirements would not be so simple and straightforward."
Mo Tan turned to the other side. The worried girl smiled, shrugged and said, "And seeing as this place has been abandoned for so long, you don't have to worry too much about safety issues. Of course, you should be careful... Hey!"
But after Ji Xiaoge said to Mo Tan, "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.
“Let me finish what I have to say...”
Mo Tan shook his head with a wry smile, and then hurriedly accelerated his pace and ran forward. However, the difference in their moving speeds 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 did not trigger any traps, Mo Tan didn’t say anything more. He just stared straight at the blurred reliefs on the door in front of him, without turning his head. He raised his head and asked: "Have you found anything in your research?"
"I wear safety pants."
Ji Xiaoge floated over with a smile and landed on the stiff-faced Mo Tan. Next to him, he frowned slightly after saying something particularly sharp: "Nothing was found. The decorations on it were basically worn beyond recognition. I didn't find anything similar to a doorbell or a keyhole. I tried I pushed it twice, but it didn’t open.”
This 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 giants. The dragons walked in and out side by side, looking even more weighty. With Ji Xiaoge's little strength, it would be crazy if he could push it.
"This is a bit troublesome."
Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, then put his hand on the door that was supposed to be the only access and pushed hard twice. The result was naturally expected. Not moving 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 the one that Teacher Lu Wei gave me. "Intermediate Materials Science", but I lit up the engineering hammer for half a second just now, which shows 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, He used the small hammer to knock on several other places on the door and the surrounding walls, then floated back to the ground, spreading his hands and saying: "There is no magic power flowing. It seems that even if there were any mechanisms in this door before, they are all ineffective now." "
Mo Tan immediately understood what Ji Xiaoge meant. The so-called 'mechanism' did not only refer to traps, but also included things like access control methods, such as the ability to improve the quality of the gate. The lightweight anti-gravity design, such as a design that can automatically open the door after certain detections, is similar to the advanced electronic access control in the real world.
This method is very common in the Innocence Continent. It simply replaces 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. Dragon language magic, even the elemental magic commonly used by other races, dragons can become masters as long as they are willing to study hard. After all, they have long lives, and their innate physical fitness does not make them as fragile as ordinary spell casters. . (PS: Jadeka Diesel and his like are not ordinary spell casters)
In short, after the analysis of Ji Xiaoge, a semi-professional who studied under the master Lu Wei, the magic fan in front of the two people In the past, doors with extremely powerful functions were definitely equipped with a lot of things like magic access control, but today, there is no magic flowing on them. It is almost like a tripped electronic security door, except for the basics such as thickness, hardness, and weight. Apart from the features, there are no high-tech factors anymore.
"This is troublesome..."
The girl put away her little hammer and sat beside Mo Tan with her knees in distress, wrinkled her nose and muttered: "I I guess it must have been able to be opened in some convenient and quick way, but now, alas...it feels like there is no other way except to push it open with super super super 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." Easy way through, well..."
He narrowed his eyes and began to think, quickly analyzing the information the two of them had just obtained, sifting through it in his mind at high speed.
Mechanisms and the like are not realistic. Since there have been door guards made of magic in the past, it is obviously superfluous to make some clumsy ones, such as door-opening mechanisms that can be triggered by pressing or stepping on any place. Low-end 'plot needs' will never exist in the game Innocence.
As for the door itself, there is no doubt about its strength. Even if it is not as strong as before without the infusion of magic power, it is no problem at all to stop Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge, two twenty-something players. No, it might be possible to push the tripped thing with two giant dragons, but they really can't do it anyway.
So, where is the problem?
While stroking his chin and thinking, Mo Tan 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 Classmate Xiao Ge...wait a minute! 】
Mo Tan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly looked away in the next second, shifting his focus from the door to...
The wall where the door is located superior!
The weather-beaten wall has been smoothed over by the years!
“Yege, give me a bucket of tea eggs, and then step back!”
Mo Tan quickly turned to Ji Xiaoge, and took half the bucket of [Fragmented Tea Eggs for People] from the still confused opponent, and then quickly came to the door and carefully placed it in the lower left corner of the door. Those explosives. 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 super hard, these tea eggs are definitely not There is no way to blow it open.”
“I know, I don’t intend to blow this door open either~”
Mo Tan just finished his last move. A tea egg, and then cautiously moved away from the 'explosion zone' step by step. After retreating nearly twenty meters, he suddenly waved the Justice Mandala in his hand and 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, looking at the door in the distance that was still intact after the smoke and dust cleared, and opened it Xiaoshou said: "This thing is too strong. At least the equivalent of twenty barrels of tea eggs must be compressed into one to hope to explode it accurately. Well, either you wait here for two days, and I will go back to Tianzhu Mountain first. Let the teacher help...Eh!?"
"Didn't I just say that I didn't intend to blow this door open from the beginning?"
Mo Tan said to Ji happily. Xiaoge blinked, 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 I don't use tea eggs, I can chop it with a sword for several hours by myself. Can make a way.”
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 it wasn’t the monkey’s invitation!”
Such unladylike words came out, which shows how shocked the girl was at this moment.
“No, it’s not what you think.”
Mo Tan shook his head and walked towards the big gap in the wall and said, “I think back then This place must be under the long-term protection of some kind of power, and this door is the most formal and convenient way in and out. 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, ah, I’ll go ahead.”
Mo Tan waved his hand gently. He took the lead and ducked through the big hole, followed closely by Ji Xiaoge, who ducked and ducked through.
The next moment, the two of them were 'thrown' to...the soft carpet in a strong sense of weightlessness.
"Here is..."
Ji Xiaoge pushed himself up and looked around the environment vaguely with his almond-shaped eyes that seemed to be spinning small circles of mosquito coils: "Whose living room is it? "
Mo Tan, who came back to his senses earlier, shook his head, first stood up with great effort, then reached out to pull Ji Xiaoge up, nodded and said: "It is indeed a bit similar, we seem to be the same. It was teleported..."
This is a space of about 60 square meters. It is completely different from the 'Dragon King's Tomb' that the two saw before. There are not so many tall and solemn-looking objects. There are no mosaic dragon reliefs that have been blurred by time, nor a huge spiral staircase that allows ordinary races to rock climb. Instead, there is a room covered with warm and soft burgundy carpets, with antique large walls standing on both sides. A room equipped with bookshelves, fireplace, lounge chairs, cushions, square tables, tea sets, snack baskets, and wine cabinets.
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 jumping and spraying white mist, making the air It is full of elegant tea fragrance.
[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.
【A person who is very rich and knows how to enjoy himself. 】
He corrected it in his heart.
“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 long dark golden hair on the desk. You must know that just before the two of them blinked last time , there was only a teapot dancing happily.
"You are..."
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 show established content, so please do not try to communicate with this kind of thing, because it will only take care of itself and follow its own rhythm. Talk. "
The man leaning on the table pointed at himself funnyly and smiled...
"I am Dragon King Bosh Gallon, and I am about to die."
