Chapter 1214. At the last moment, when
the first door closes and the second door opens, the wood in the stairwell will stick out.
Following this ready example, Ronald and Patricia began to try.
By now, they had long been accustomed to cracking the maze, and the rules here were naturally understood by them very quickly.
Under the premise that all the doors on the first floor are closed, the rooms on both sides are opened one by one in even and odd order, and the stairs protrude from the wall little by little in synchronization.
What Ronald and Patricia had to do was to repeatedly open and close the door, and then let the stairs "grow" out of the wall little by little.
...
The rules are already in hand, but the time required is still unavoidable.
During the repeated process of opening and closing the door, the stairs reappeared from top to bottom, and the time was only about half an hour before dawn.
According to the current efficiency.
If he really had to take out all the stairs, he would undoubtedly fail in this challenge.
"..."
Realizing the urgency of the situation, Ronald quickly sorted out the rules he had just fumbled over.
Soon, a bold idea was born in his mind:
"Patricia, let's change the way to open the door. Now follow the rules of 3, 5, 7...!"
Patricia looked stunned. , soon realized Ronald's plan.
Open and close the doors one by one in order, and the stairs will eventually be restored intact. But if they want to go up to the second floor, they don't actually need the stairs to be that intact.
As long as there is a place to stay a few steps away, you can also lead to the second floor!
Ronald's decision at this moment can actually save more than half of their time!
The two worked together and made rapid progress, but time continued to pass.
Ronald was counting the time silently in his mind. The last half hour had already passed and a quarter of an hour had passed. Even if they succeeded in solving the problem, they would still have to press the deadline to achieve their goal.
If you include the walk up to the second floor and the journey to the cult warlock's office... I
'm afraid it's still not enough time!
"..."
After estimating the next situation, Ronald had another bold idea in his mind.
So, ten minutes later.
When the stairs on the upper floor showed a messy tooth shape, and there was still a large section of space below, Ronald directly interrupted the process of opening and closing the door, and immediately rushed to the stairwell: "
Patricia , that's enough, let's leave now!"
"But we haven't..." Patricia subconsciously wanted to ask Ronald the reason for leaving, but before the words came out, she interrupted her own inquiry, and then looked at He became extremely serious and followed Ronald directly to the stairwell.
The two came to the stairwell one after another and found that it was as they calculated. The upper two-thirds of the stairs here are enough for people to pass, but there is still a height below that is unreachable for a person.
The fact on the other side is that there are two people on Ronald's side.
"Patricia, please give me a hand."
Ronald asked the girl next to him directly for help, and Patricia also understood what he was thinking.
At this time, Patricia remembered what happened in the military fortress maze.
She couldn't help but smile:
"Ronald, letting a girl drag you down there is not the behavior a gentleman should do."
Although she was joking, Patricia's actual actions were a bit different. Not slow. When she spoke, she also took the initiative to drag Ronald upwards, so that Ronald could grab the bulge on the stairs next to the wall and climb up.
"Patricia, I remember that you seldom joked with me."
Ronald climbed up and said to the girl below:
"I also like you like this. You can try more in the future." Try."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Patricia's cute face suddenly turned red, and then she lowered her head and stopped looking upward.
Queen Danterian's evaluation of Patricia was really accurate and thorough... With
a little emotion in his heart, Ronald said it was not the time to continue chatting until now. He said the last word and started climbing with concentration:
"Pa Tricia, wait for me."
Patricia whispered back without raising her head:
"I know..."
"..."
Ronald climbed up the stairs with all his concentration.
Ordinary two-story stairs would never be this troublesome.
It's just that this place is under the control of the maze picture book, so Ronald's progress is particularly difficult.
But the previous efforts were not in vain.
After climbing for more than a minute, Ronald touched a intact step above with his right hand. Relying on this stable point of strength, he suddenly exerted force to move his body upwards, and his upper body lay directly on the steps.
"Hush-hoo-"
Ronald took a deep breath.
Feeling that his physical strength had recovered a little, and making sure that he would not miss, he continued to exert force, using the strength of his arms and waist to drag himself to the stable steps.
"Huh..."
Ronald breathed a sigh of relief again.
But this time he didn't stop because there was no danger on the road ahead.
——Time must be running out.
Ronald knew this in his heart, so he immediately climbed up the steps that appeared regularly, and his figure quickly disappeared into the stairwell.
"The voice that just answered me..."
Running on the second floor, Ronald recalled the previous scene in his mind.
To be on the safe side, he did not open the door to investigate according to his memory. Instead, he opened [Work Notes] and stopped directly at the door under the guidance of the arrow.
Snap -
Ronald pushed open the door.
In the information room right in front of him, three bored spellcasters in robes sat slumped in various places.
Trapped here, they obviously have no idea of moving.
Only when Ronald pushed the door open and came in did he raise his head and look at the door in surprise.
——That’s you!
The movements of the three cult warlocks raising their heads allowed Ronald to quickly distinguish their appearance.
The cult warlock in the castle banquet hall was slumped on the ground next to the window. Ronald's fixed gaze was unmistakable.
However, it is precisely because of this location.
Through the window behind the cult warlock, Ronald saw a cloud lighting up in the sky. The green light that symbolized the arrival of morning would appear in the sky in the next moment!
--That's too late?
——Are you still a step too late after all?
——How could you give up at this time and rush over!
All kinds of thoughts suddenly appeared in Ronald's mind.
But what was faster than his thinking was Ronald's body that subconsciously acted and rushed directly towards the cult warlock in the room.
Snap——
The touch coming from the hand was undoubtedly the body of the cult warlock.
But right before Ronald's eyes, the first ray of morning light in the sky illuminated the dark night sky at this moment!
