Chapter 313 Book of Daedalus
I made the right choice.
Go up the stairs until you reach the rooftop.
Ronald already knew in his heart that he had made the right decision before.
With the Minotaur's physical strength, the fact that he didn't catch up immediately proved the monster's behavior.
Ronald now definitely has enough time to find and crack the original code.
"Huh——"
"In this kind of original trial, it really pays to be careful."
After exhaling, Ronald looked around the rooftop of the mansion.
He couldn't see clearly from below because of the viewing angle, but when he came here, he found that this place on the roof of the house was very interesting.
--studio.
This was the impression this rooftop gave Ronald.
There is a small independent room located near the stairs that come up.
This is an awning with good drainage capacity. Equipment such as tool tables, tool boxes, and wooden supports are placed in it. You can tell at a glance that it is a suitable place for work.
Especially on the wooden frame, there is a wing spliced together with feathers.
——Wings of Icarus.
Such a place and such a discovery.
Ronald was quite sure that the large wings hanging on the shelf were the treasures made by Daedalus in the myth to allow humans to fly in the sky.
But this is not Ronald's main purpose.
The main reason why he entered the original canon trial was because of the original canon that caused all this to happen.
Take two steps into it.
Under the cover of dust, Ronald discovered that there were many pages scattered on the table, most of which had words or patterns written on them, and at the top of the pages was a piece of manuscript paper with wings on it.
"Is this the state it was in before it was bound?"
"..."
Picking up the manuscript paper with a thoughtful expression, Ronald gently brushed away the dust on it.
Then, everything on the page was clearly displayed in front of him. It was indeed the writing from the ancient Greek era.
Without any hesitation, Ronald read out the text:
"It's ridiculous to try to trap the opponent with a maze created by the designer himself!
I have a wide sky leading to wherever you want to go.
..."
Line by line, word by word Read out the words.
By the time he finished reciting, what Ronald saw in front of him began to feel distorted.
Faced with this situation, Ronald frowned.
"Something's wrong..."
He once had the experience of passing a trial.
After completing the trial at that time, Ronald experienced
the process of stripping away all senses including vision, touch, smell, hearing...
During this period, only the brain's thinking can proceed normally.
However...
what is this kind of half-hearted distortion of the picture now?
Between different original texts, is there such a big difference after passing the trial?
Just when Ronald was doubtful, new changes appeared in front of him.
The page originally held in his hand turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated inadvertently.
At this moment, Ronald realized something inexplicably.
——Passed the first stage of the trial of "The Book of Daedalus".
——As long as he pays the magic power, he can freely use the technique called [Wings of Icarus] from now on.
And now the reason why Ronald has no escape from the trial...
is because it is not over at all!
The Labyrinth of the Minotaur in Crete is just the first trial of the "Book of Daedalus". If you want to continue to obtain subsequent abilities, then pick up the other manuscripts in front of you.
In this way, subsequent trials will continue.
But be careful.
If you choose to continue, you must complete the next trial before you can choose to leave, and you cannot give up midway.
If he does not choose to continue, Ronald can now use the [Wings of Icarus] technique to escape from this trial illusion immediately.
Almost subconsciously, Ronald reached for other manuscript papers.
However, when his fingertips were about to touch the manuscript papers, his movements stopped.
Unknowingly, a smile appeared on Ronald's lips.
Then he shook his head:
"This is too reckless."
"..."
Thinking calmly, he really shouldn't continue the trial.
It’s not that Ronald didn’t have the determination to pass the trials that followed.
If this is a normal entry into the original trial, he can naturally continue the process, and it is not impossible to even pass the level in one life.
But that is not the case now.
In the real world, people from the [Scroll Research Society] are still waiting to see how the trial will go.
That is an institution that specializes in the study of mysterious knowledge.
The people present were basically the most advanced practitioners in their respective fields.
If I continue to conduct trials here, it is very likely that they will find out if I leave later.
As a result, the relationship between the two parties has become tense.
Now, Ronald still has a predetermined prophecy spell to rely on from the [Scroll Research Society].
Give up your original purpose for the sake of strength.
Isn’t it as stupid as looking at Shu from a long distance?
Making a decision in his heart, Ronald recited a spell based on the knowledge he had just gained:
"It's ridiculous to try to trap the opponent with a maze created by the designer himself!
I have a wide sky leading to wherever you want to go.
... "
As the mantra was recited, a brand new magic power began to emerge behind Ronald.
The magic power condenses and then changes from tangible to intangible.
Finally, a pair of white wings appeared behind Ronald, stretching out to a length of two meters.
That swaggering appearance is exactly the same as that of an angel in mythology.
"It's really big enough..."
Ronald murmured and walked out of the room where the tool table was.
Looking up at the sky above the maze, he began to try to control the wings to let himself fly.
——The magic on the mysterious side is really not scientific.
In fact, there is no need to flap the wings at all.
Just with such a thought in his mind, Ronald's body was lifted up by the invisible force brought by the wings, and then the whole person floated in the air.
-Ronald has been able to fly.
——The wings behind him are just the manifestation of this spell. During the flight, there is no need for it to move at all.
Then Ronald had an idea in his mind.
The white wings of Icarus immediately took him flying high into the sky, and in the blink of an eye he had already surpassed the highest point of the maze wall.
Beyond the labyrinth of the Minotaur, Ronald continued to gain height.
But at this moment, a tragedy like the melting of the wings of Icarus occurred.
Take Ronald to fly to a high place, about forty meters above the ground.
——This pair of wings is useless.
What followed immediately was the intense sense of distortion when he was completely out of the trial illusion.
Feeling this change.
Before leaving completely, Ronald couldn't help but sigh:
"This spell, even the setting is the same as in the myth!"
