Chapter 203 Punishment Mechanism
Looking at the two fingers in front of him, Duanmu Huai frowned.
He did feel a familiar aura from these two fingers - to put it simply, it was the same as the Nine Saints Statue in Tianji Province, with a somewhat divine aura. I remember Mystrina said that a long time ago, the gods would communicate with the finger witches through these two fingers, and the finger witches would read and interpret the gods' messages, and then pass them on to others.
Of course, some people have always suspected that maybe this is not a message from the gods at all. Those finger witches are just pretending to interpret it, but in fact they are just talking nonsense and may even deliberately mislead others.
As for the reason why the forest princess called it the mother of the earth, Duanmuhuai can also think of it - most of the palm of this thing is buried in the soil, and only two fingers are exposed. It seems that it is the mother of the earth. Not surprising either.
It’s just...
Duanmu Huai walked to the edge of the tower and looked down. The entire tower was dozens of meters high. With this palm, it always made him feel a little sick. Thinking about it, an arm that is tens of meters long is buried in the tower, and then the palm is stretched out from the top. It doesn't really look like a god.
Or is its entire body buried in the tower, with only this hand stretched out?
Duanmuhuai stepped forward, stretched out his hand and put it on one of the fingers. Unfortunately, just as Mystrina said, all that is left here is the remains, with almost no remaining breath, and it cannot be the same as before. Just like how to deal with the demon god, use the distortion of the idol to open the passage - because there is nothing left here except the wreckage.
But at this moment, suddenly, something beyond Duanmu Huai's expectation happened.
Just as he was about to move his hand away, suddenly, the entire tower began to tremble, and then a voice sounded in his ears.
"You are not qualified... You are not qualified..."
The next moment, Duanmu Huai saw a flash of light and shadow in front of his eyes. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had returned to the gate of Stonewell City again.
"What's going on?"
Duanmuhuai looked around, but was surprised to find that except for himself, there was no one around, whether it was Ogis, Bambi, Lorena, Audrey, or even Mysterina and Mir. Feidu is nowhere to be seen!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai immediately closed his eyes and sent out a telepathic communication.
"Ogis, Bambi, Lorena, Odile! Can you hear me?"
Soon, the voices of girls sounded from his telepathy.
"Yes, Master."
"What, what happened? Sir Knight?"
"Family, where are you? Bambi can't see you...!"
"Master, I'm fine, but what's going on..."
As the girls chattered, Duanmuhuai quickly figured out their situation. It was obvious that they, like Duanmuhuai, had been teleported to different places.
Ogis said that she was transported to a dark underground city. It was not the underground where Duanmu Huai and others were currently, but seemed to be deeper underground.
Bambi cried to Duanmu Huai that she was trapped in a temple. There was a big, scary-looking monster inside the temple, and outside the gate of the temple stood a huge monster with a bird's head. Guard, she can only hide in the shadows now, not even daring to move.
Lorena said that she was currently in a ruins on a white snowfield, surrounded by desolation. At least for her, she could not find any way back.
Audrey was better. She said that she was transported to a castle on a volcano, where a noble lady entertained her and allowed her to stay there temporarily...
Judging from this, Mystrina and Melphie were probably teleported somewhere as well.
"Master, what is going on?"
"Probably some kind of punishment mechanism."
"Punishment mechanism?"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the girls were a little confused, and Duanmuhuai also shrugged, not being able to explain to them.
As mentioned before, each world fragment has a different mechanism and "clearance method", such as Doll House and Ghost Mansion. In fact, there are also many world fragments with limited conditions in the game.
For example, a world where men are not allowed to enter.
A world where women are not allowed.
A world where neither men nor women are allowed to enter.
A world where half-men and half-women are not allowed.
A world where people who think they are women but are actually men and who do not acknowledge that they are men but think they are women are not allowed to enter.
A world where agender people who consider themselves neither male nor female are not allowed to enter.
A world where people who were originally men and later transitioned into women but still think of themselves as men are not allowed to enter.
Or you can't play FPS in decryption games.
You can't play real-time strategy in RPG either.
Of course, although there are settings in the game, for players, this is just a matter of the game mechanism of the copy.
But in reality…………
Combined with the phrase "You're not qualified, you're not qualified" that Duanmu Huai heard before, he probably means...
"Maybe it requires some special means to go up to that tower, and we violated the rules by going up directly, so we were separated as punishment." Duanmuhuai expressed his guess. Unfortunately, Mysterina and Melphi He didn't contact him, and there was nothing he could do about it. After all, this world didn't belong to Duanmu Huai, so he couldn't get the soul card from this world. Although Duanmuhuai also tried to summon others directly back, unfortunately they all failed.
Obviously, this should be some kind of ban in this world.
From this point of view, I am afraid that I have only one way to go.
Through telepathy, Duanmuhuai also gave orders to the girls, telling them not to run around, but to figure out where they were and then go find them. As for Mysterina and Milfi, Duanmuhuai was naturally worried, but since there was no way to contact them, he could only leave it to fate.
Duanmu Huai is not worried about whether the girls are obedient. Ogis and Lorena are experienced in many battles and have rich experience. Although Audrey is a little uneasy, since she said that she was loved by the kind hostess, If you entertain me, nothing will happen for the time being. On the contrary, Bambi's situation was a little unsettling, because Bambi couldn't figure out where she was. There was only one monster that looked like a wild beast in the temple, and she didn't dare to go near it. There was also a huge, winged bird outside. The head monster...well, let's hide for now.
Okay, let’s do it.
After confirming the actions of the girls, Duanmu Huai also recovered his thoughts, glanced at the closed iron gate in front of him, and walked forward.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Hey, that guy over there, can you come over here?"
"Huh?"
Duanmu Huai turned around and looked around, only to find that there was a small gate next to the city gate. At this moment, a man in dirty clothes and shackles with thin hair was standing there, waving to him.
"Who are you?"
Duanmuhuai walked over, stared at the guy and asked, while the other guy smiled and rubbed his hands.
"I'm just a guard. You, you want to enter the city, right? If you want to enter the city, I advise you not to enter through the main entrance. There is a group of skilled soldiers blocking it, but I can give it to you. Point to another way, you can go through that hole.”
As he spoke, this wretched guy pointed to the cave on the wall next to him with a smile. To be honest, this guy looks too vulgar.
His surname cannot be Qin.
"The soldiers on that path didn't know about it. There should be a way to invade the city directly without being discovered by them."
"…………Okay."
Hearing what this guy said, Duanmuhuai frowned first, then nodded. He originally didn't want to do what this guy said. Although he did see a large number of soldiers surrounding the city gate, their arrows and ballistae couldn't even scratch his own skin, so it was okay to rush in directly.
But what happened just now caused a psychological shadow in Duanmu Huai's heart.
What if another "You're not qualified, you're not qualified..."
That's a real headache.
So Duanmuhuai didn't say anything, turned around, walked through the hole in the wall next to him, and walked forward.
This path is not something like a "hidden secret passage". It is obvious that this city has been attacked before and the city walls were damaged. It is precisely because of this that a path appeared that should not have been there
It’s just...
How to go about this.
Looking at the stairs in front of him, Duanmu Huai gritted his teeth.
It was not difficult to walk at the beginning, but when Duanmuhuai walked around to the back of the cliff, he encountered a problem - there was a ladder on the cliff that connected all the way to the gate of the city wall tower.
The problem is, this staircase is made of wood.
Is it really okay?
Although Duanmu Huai hesitated, he still raised his feet and stepped on the steps.
Then…………
"Click!!"
With a soft sound, the entire staircase suddenly cracked in the next moment, and Duanmuhuai hurriedly retracted his legs and retreated. Just when he returned to the ground, he saw that the wooden staircase outside the city wall collapsed instantly, taking it with it. The two soldiers fell into the abyss.
“……………………”
Duanmuhuai silently glanced at the completely broken and broken staircase in front of him, then turned around and returned to the previous guard cabin. Seeing Duanmu Huai come back, the wretched doorman showed an uneasy expression. He just watched Duanmu Huai striding towards him, and then he showed a flattering smile.
"Please, please, do you have anything else?"
"Open the door for me."
Then, he stared at the wretched man and said.
Once again, Duanmuhuai was sure that he was definitely not suitable for stealth.
