Darkus frowned and looked at the circular dial in front of him, studying it for a long time.
The circular dial is divided into an inner ring, an outer ring and a lizard-man hieroglyphic pattern on the periphery. The animal head carved in stone on the inner ring is crooked and needs to be straightened to activate the mechanism of the dial, but turning it with external force cannot make the inner ring rotate. To straighten the animal head on the ring dial, you need to press the lizard-man pictograms on the outside in order to straighten it and adjust it to a horizontal line. The key point is on the connecting lines between the inner ring, the outer ring and the periphery.
The problem is that unlike a certain game, there are as many as 30 patterns on the outer circle of the dial... There are 16 connecting lines between the inner ring, outer ring and periphery, and there is no color hint.
To put it bluntly, this is a geometry question. The problem is that only Darkus can do this question. Who makes him the Umak of the ancient saint? Moreover, he believes that there is only one chance. If he presses the wrong button, he may directly open the door.
The members who followed the research behind were also staring at each other. No one knew what to say. Those who knew lizard language did not understand the engraving plate, and those who knew the engraving plate did not understand the lizard human language.
"Sir, does it mean... wealth?" Renn asked hesitantly.
"Probably not. It needs to be calibrated before it can be opened." After a moment, Darkus said slowly, and then he stretched out his hand to signal for something to be given to him.
Colonia, who was standing diagonally behind Dacus, reacted quickly. He took out a notebook and pen from his arms and handed them to him. After taking them, he began to write and draw. He first wrote on the paper. Draw a straight line. Then he raised his notebook and tilted his head to draw the crooked inner ring lines. After he finished drawing, he drew the outer ring lines below.
After finishing all this, Darkus tore off the paper, took out the thorn blade from his waist, cut the inner circle on the paper, adjusted the animal head to a horizontal position, and placed it on the outer ring of the paper. inside, and then rotated the paper to adjust the line of the outer ring. Soon the lines of the inner and outer rings were corrected.
Six complete lines connecting the inner ring and the outer ring were revealed, and the other intertwined lines were waste lines and broken lines. Darkus took another step back, holding the paper in front, and the perspective, paper and The dial formed three points and a line, and then he waved his hand to signal Ren to come closer.
"Write down the corresponding patterns." Darkus said. He estimated that the matter was not that simple. The corresponding patterns should not be pressed casually. It should be as Ren expressed, these 6 corresponding patterns should be able to form a Words, in order to correctly activate the dial, follow the order of the words.
This is a bit difficult for Darkus. Although he can automatically recognize the lizard people's hieroglyphs and words, he cannot combine these words. Only when these words are combined accurately can he automatically recognize their meaning, and only Ren can do this task of combining words.
"Let's go and look at the other one." After Renn wrote down the pattern corresponding to 6, Darkus waved his hand and said. He knew that Renn's next job was going to be big, and he wouldn't be able to do it for a while. That's it, it's just a waste of time to fuck around here.
The next one is simple, but not simple either. Obviously someone has been here before and pressed it randomly. Fortunately, one of them has not been pressed yet. It must be that the button was pressed incorrectly before, and the one in the middle is locked.
What appeared in front of Darkos were 25 squares, consisting of five vertical and five horizontal ones. Except for the middle one, each square had a corresponding color and lizard-man pictographic number. After observing for a while and finding the pattern, he started clicking. Every time he pressed the squares, different colors and numbers would appear, but this did not trouble him at all. He only needed to keep each row, column and The diagonal rows have a color and a number from 1 to 5.
After adjusting the other 25 squares, Darkus took out the Scarlet Sword, took a deep breath, and started pressing the activation position in the middle.
The other members also drew their weapons and were on alert, but there were no traps such as rolling rocks, spitting fire, or flooding in the passage, only the sound of the mechanism behind it turning and opening.
Soon, the door was opened.
Although the space inside the door is limited, it is full of vitality and creativity. Every inch of the space is fully utilized, like a holy place where wisdom and skills gather. The hooks on the wall are hung with all kinds of weapons, from swords to bows and arrows, each one exudes the atmosphere of time and again. In a corner, an old iron shelf displays various armors. The luster of the armor has long been eroded by the traces of time, but it still shows its former glory. Every piece of equipment placed here is like a witness to a story, telling about past adventures and challenges.
There is a large workbench in the center of the room, which is piled with ornaments and gems. These materials seem to be the result of the efforts of a scholar and craftsman, recording the efforts of countless experiments, designs and manufacturing.
Darkus felt that his conjecture might be correct. These would not be used for combat, but were collections of equipment, weapons, and accessories that should belong to a specific forgotten world or era.
"Let's see if we can identify the ability of the equipment." Ignoring the surprised looks of the members, Darkus looked at his three illusory gods and said, and then he waved his hand to signal the members to look around.
"Okay, but...it's weird..." Colonia said hesitantly, stroking the outline of a piece of armor.
"As long as it works!" Darkus decisively settled the matter and at the same time signaled his sister not to say something she shouldn't have said. After saying that, he raised the eagle shield in front of him, then adjusted his body posture and waved at Franais in a defensive posture.
Ren's hand, which was about to reach for the double-edged ax, stopped, and a quick and dull whisper suddenly echoed in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he focused his gaze on a corner and walked there.
When Ren walked to the corner, Darkus's shield vibrated violently, and then Franais fell straight to the ground holding the halberd.
"Okay." Darkus praised in admiration. He felt that the Eagle Shield was extraordinary. There seemed to be a force field on the shield. The condition of Franais was the best proof. After a moment, he was about to call out Ji When Navief came to try, he found something was wrong. Franais, who was supposed to stand up, struggled for a long time and failed to stand up, and blood gushed out of his mouth.
"What's going on?" Darkus quickly threw the shield to the ground and leaned over to check.
Alyssa, who was looking at the items, also leaned over to treat her brother.
"Sir, there was an... irresistible injury that eroded me just now. Ahem... I feel like all the organs in my body have been displaced." Franes said with difficulty after recovering.
On the other side, Ren had already pulled out a locked book without a cover from the corner. He raised the front of the book to his eyes, and the next second, the lock opened automatically.
"Sir, there is a record on it... a walking barrier? It also has a function. The shield has a... force field? It can be reflected to the enemy, and has a chance of knocking the enemy to the ground. It has high spell resistance." Ren said After turning over the page, he continued, "It also comes with two spells, one is to reflect arrows and magic missiles, and the other is a chain of protection that can protect teammates and take damage for teammates." "What a good thing!" Cowell sighed next to Renne.
All the members gathered around Ren and looked at the books he held in his hands. The members knew that the books in his hands were like instructions for the equipment in this space.
"Is it the lizard language on it?" Darkus asked as he inspected the shield. He raised the front of the shield in front of him and observed it in detail.
"Yes, my lord."
"No wonder there is no stone slab."
The surface of the walking barrier is carefully carved with complex and exquisite patterns, as if it is an ingenious work of art. These patterns combine curves and geometric shapes to outline intricate textures, extending from the edge of the shield to the center. Every inch of space has been carefully carved, revealing an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
What caught Darkus's attention the most was the huge ruby inlaid in the center of the shield. This gem was like a burning flame, emitting crimson light. The light shines through the transparent surface of the gemstone and reflects on the surrounding patterns, as if giving life to the entire shield. He adjusted the angle of the shield. No matter from which angle it was viewed, the gem exuded a strong attraction, and people could not help but be fascinated by its light.
Indeed, as Cowell said, good stuff! Darkus handed the walking barrier to Franais, who had already stood up.
"My lord?" Franais said eagerly but hesitantly.
"It suits you quite well." Darkus shrugged and said, the stuff is good, top quality! But he really doesn't care now. It may be because he has seen too many good things. In his opinion, Franais's walking barrier is suitable. What he lacks now are protective and functional gloves and boots, instead of a shield that needs to be carried on his back at all times.
"Everyone chooses one. If you choose a weapon, bet! If you choose equipment, you can choose it according to your needs and the attributes in the atlas. The journey ahead is long, and good things are yet to come. You must know the God of Forging The incarnation is at the final destination of our journey." He helped Franes, who bowed deeply, and Darkus cleared his throat and said. He didn't say a word. He knew that there were good things in the north of Obion Island.
"Can I...can it?" Belloda looked at the dazzling array of equipment in the room and thought for a long time before asking hesitantly.
"Of course! It's for those who have seen it." Darkus, who was looking at a pair of gloves, said nonchalantly, and then said, "You also have Maher."
In Darkus' opinion, Maher has a very good talent. And potential, and the young age is suitable for training, so that the former glory of the True Speaker can be regained.
After picking and choosing, all the members finally selected the items they wanted. Darkus always had a very strange feeling, as if the ancient saint seemed to know that he was coming. These equipments had been more or less adjusted. It can be used normally in this world.
Selile, who likes dual-wielding close-quarters slashing, chose a ring with a hummingbird made of emerald and sapphire inlaid on it. After wearing the ring, he obviously became much faster. Baine chose a belt with an exaggerated shape. The belt can not only increase the wearer's strength, but also cause tinnitus and dizziness to the enemies who are hit hard. When paired with the God's Halberd, it can explode into good combat effectiveness. Shakala chose a scarab-shaped necklace with magic resistance. At critical moments, it can also activate the scarab to form a magic-devouring shield around the wearer. With her body skills, she needs this kind of magic-resistance. props.
Genevieve chose the only recurved dagger among the weapons. This dagger seemed a bit evil to Darkus. The dagger was described in Internet terms as having heavy hits, vulnerability, and bleeding effects, and the wearer After selecting the target to attack, there is an effect similar to defeating the enemy, making it impossible for the enemy to accurately parry and reach. It is really a weapon for assassination.
Coupled with the physical resistance provided by Valonge's amulet and her own movement skills, Genevieve is completely a sensitive melee assassin, but under normal circumstances she can't be seen... except when taking risks, Da Wouldn't Keus let her perform some assassination mission to assassinate Morathi?
Kalien chose a heavy crossbow decorated with silver owls, positioned between the Druchi repeating crossbow and the harpoon crossbow. It could neither fire continuously nor have the power of the harpoon crossbow, but he liked it very much. In his words, It works just fine when riding on a flying mount. And at critical moments, he can also summon the wind of Aegir, and after charging up, he can shoot a terrifying chain of lightning arrows. The specific power needs to be tested. It should depend on whether there are too many Aegir winds in the sky, or what type of target it is shooting at.
Renn chose a piece of leather armor that could shield the breath and hide in the dark. The leather armor could also emit mist at critical moments, which was helpful for close combat or escape.
Kradin chose an Impaler spear that was good for mounted combat, which was his specialty as a descendant of the Claw Clan family. The spear has extremely high penetrating properties, and can also be used as a javelin and spear throwing. After chanting the spell, the spear will automatically fly back. What's even more outrageous is that the spear is equipped with another set of spells to increase the power of the spear. And the damage is more powerful, but it will also cause certain damage to the curser. To put it bluntly, it means exchanging lives for lives at critical moments.
Cowell chose a rapier that looked more like a duel. After wearing it, the sword was more elegant and unconventional than before. Although it was a rapier, it could continuously launch heavy blows and make the enemy bleed. It seems a bit fancy to Darkus, but it is indeed suitable for the young man Kewell.
Maranur picked out the best one-piece forged armor. The armor looked very heavy, but it had the flying skill on it, which allowed the wearer to raise wind from the soles of his feet to move quickly, and even fly when necessary.
The mages each also picked what they liked.
Alyssa chose an extremely outrageous glove. After wearing it, she can wave her hands. Her previous limit of four amber spears can be turned into eight, but it is a bit difficult to control...
Drusala chose a suitable one. While she wears a cloak that is elegant and absorbs magical winds, Colonia chose an elegant robe. The other three either chose robes or staffs.
Belloda chose a far-sea staff, which looked more like the Tidecaller of Idonis, and Maher also chose a staff that looked very Druid.
What Darkus chose was very simple. He chose a pair of boots that fit his feet. Although he didn't know what kind of leather they were, they were very comfortable to wear. According to the instructions, after putting on the boots, the wearer cannot be controlled and will not slip. The key is that there is a short-range teleportation spell on them, which can move within sight, and can also move up and down. Of course, it cannot pass through walls...another The spell is really weird, it can make him turn into a cloud and float...
In short, everyone is very satisfied and have chosen the items they like. (End of chapter)
