Chapter 621 Detective Tools
- Go to the riverbank area first.
As the picture book maze world became increasingly chaotic, Ronald made a quick decision in his mind.
He made this choice not simply to comply with the rules of the game.
But Ronald actually took into account the actual situation of Springs.
Like the five [Nine Rings Secret Society] casters running to the southwest. Based on the direction of their current route, they will inevitably pass through the slums, a small part of the riverside area, then pass through the commercial area, and finally reach the port area where they fled.
From a purely geometric perspective.
This is indeed the shortest direct route to the port area.
But if you take into account the urban area they need to cross, the reality is completely different.
This route will add quite a lot of trouble.
Take the next poverty-stricken area, for example. Under the premise that housing construction and human activities will become obstacles in the maze, Ronald can intuitively confirm that it is definitely the most difficult maze in the entire spring.
Just thinking about the difficulty of crossing the urban area, you know that you will definitely face many problems when passing there.
——What about the tips Ronald received?
——Go to your home in the Riverside District first.
Under the premise that there will be no additional trouble, they only need to pass through the riverside area and then the commercial area, and they will immediately reach their final destination, the port area. And moving along the Weiss River, you can also have the best natural landmarks in the city of Springs.
Make a decision in your mind.
Ronald immediately reached out and patted his companion on the shoulder:
"Patricia, let's go."
"Now we have no possibility of participating in this battle. The first step is to break away from this world constructed by complete magic as soon as possible. First priority."
"..."
Patricia nodded silently.
Doudouyan, who was looking at the battle in the square, finally looked back following the conversation.
Follow the ladder from the tower back underground.
In the maze where the terrain had completely changed, the two groped their way outside.
Compared with the previous crossing of the border forest area, the difficulty of advancing this time is much higher. Due to the fierce fighting taking place in the church area, almost every once in a while, the surrounding maze terrain will change due to changes in the crowd.
Under such frequent changes, it took Ronald and Patricia nearly half an hour to finally get out of here.
After finally touching the location of the Weiss River, and recalling the scene when she left the Church Square, Patricia finally couldn't help but asked her concerns:
"Ronald, do you think this battle happened in reality? "Really?"
Ronald nodded and replied:
"It's very likely that's the case."
"Do you still remember the descriptions we heard when we first entered this world? Some information was revealed in them..."
while groping Looking at the maze, Ronald told Patricia his guess. The girl accepted the result calmly, but the expression on her cute face inevitably showed some loneliness:
"If it were in the real world, as Niklaus, I should also contribute to this battle..."
Ronald spoke to comfort him. Said:
"Thinking like this is a bit over the top."
"If it weren't for the actions of the two of us, then the [Nine Rings Secret Society] casters hiding in the industrial area, as well as these guys we are chasing now, they would definitely have done something to this person. It will have a greater impact on the city."
"..."
During the conversation, the two continued to move forward.
On the way to Ronald's home in the Riverside District, they encountered a new type of maze.
--vessel.
Because they advance completely along the course of the Vis River, when certain roads are completely blocked, Ronald and the two need to keep an eye on the ships parked by the Vis River or the cargo ships that are still in operation. Then walk up and use these things to move around.
Going back and forth took another quarter of an hour.
Finally, by coincidence, they jumped off the boat where they had shared a barbecue early this morning, and then saw the apartment quietly located by the river.
So...
what does the Sphinx's reminder mean?
With such doubts, Ronald walked around to find the apartment door, and then successfully walked to his room on the third floor. As soon as he opened the door, he saw several things on his desk.
A magnifying glass, a compass, and a pipe.
These three things were shining brightly on the table, as if they were worried that others would not notice their existence.
At this time, Patricia who was following beside her asked just right:
"Ronald, when we went out last night, you didn't have these things at home, right?"
"Don't worry about it." Ronald shrugged He shrugged and continued in a rather innocent tone, "We have already encountered a talking cat, a stone statue that wants to go on strike, and a pancake that asks for help before being eaten." "Now even if I have something extra at home
, There's nothing surprising."
Patricia nodded cutely:
"What you said makes sense."
"..."
During the conversation, Ronald walked to the table and picked up three things.
Then, his body is no longer under his control.
It's like getting a prop in the game and then the character will show it to the player. Ronald involuntarily raised the magnifying glass and looked at the table - many details that ordinary people could not discover, such as production date, usage experience and other information suddenly appeared in front of him.
——This is a tool that often appears in detective games.
After showing the magnifying glass, Ronald raised the compass in his hand high - the pointer under the protective case immediately rotated, pointing to the south and west, and swayed a little from side to side.
The role of the compass is also very obvious, it is a prop that points out the locations of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] casters.
Finally, Ronald picked up his pipe and took a long drag.
"Cough... cough cough cough..."
Ronald, who didn't like smoking, immediately choked on the taste of tobacco. But at the same time, he also felt that his head became refreshed, and his thoughts on the solution to the maze became much clearer.
——This helps you find your way.
After the three props are displayed, body control returns immediately.
Looking at the thing in his hand, Ronald had to admit that the tips given by the Sphinx were very important. Each of these three props can provide considerable help immediately.
At this time, Ronald turned his head and looked at Patricia.
The girl was looking at herself with beady eyes in astonishment. Obviously, this collection of sparkling props was also outside the scope of her life experience.
So Ronald handed over the compass in his hand:
"Patricia, this compass will point out the positions of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] casters. You can use it to observe their movements."
Patricia Sia took the compass, then looked at Ronald:
"What about you?"
Ronald glanced at the maze outside, then took a deep puff of his pipe:
"I...ahem..."
"I'm in charge of walking the maze. ..."
