Chapter 602 Between Destiny (7)
The three people who drank all the potion felt as if they had eaten two kilograms of refreshing mints. They felt a cold sensation from their throats to their Tianling Caps. They really felt a lot more energetic.
They then walked towards the most conspicuous throne in the entire hall.
Compared to the image we just saw, the throne now looks much more dilapidated. Not only are there shattered cracks everywhere, but the gold rims and gems decorated on it have all disappeared.
Just as he was about to go up and take a look, Zola suddenly felt like he had kicked something.
At first, he thought it was a stone. There were cracks everywhere in this place. It was not surprising that there were stones, but Zola immediately felt something was wrong.
When he looked down, he saw a pair of shining silver breastplates appearing at his feet. It was clear that there was nothing here just now.
Aldee explained:
"It should be space folding technology, a trick of the elves."
This technology, to use a popular metaphor, is like the layers in photo editing software. Using one layer to cover another layer is called space folding. Folding two spaces together will realize walking. Suddenly, it is like traveling through time, or the effect of hiding something, which is equivalent to the confusion of physical location.
Aldai checked the armor and reached out to pick it up.
The breastplate is already a very lightweight armor, but it feels unnaturally light in the hand, almost like a pair of silk pajamas.
This abnormal feel made Aldai's eyes widen immediately, and she motioned for Nemea to help carry it. Aldai carefully observed the forging patterns on the breastplate.
"This is a mithril breastplate."
Nemea wondered:
"But didn't you say that mithril is sold by the gram, and that it has a price but no market?"
"Yes, so the value of this breastplate is probably equivalent to wearing a city on your body."
"..."
Nemea's hands were shaking a little...
If you recall carefully, the red-haired demon seen in the previous video was wearing the same breastplate. At that time, his attention was not on him, so naturally he did not take a closer look.
The style of the breastplate is somewhat similar to that of muscle armor, and the holy symbol of the former Demon King is embossed in the center of the chest. However, the holy symbol seems to have been scratched, and the original appearance cannot be clearly seen.
Zola took the breastplate, and as expected, the Holy Emblem lit up under the gaze of the three people, and quickly transformed into Li Chengqi's Holy Emblem.
"Emmm... this may be a gift from God. Anyway, put it in the magic bag first, and then go back and study its abilities."
It was impossible for the demons to smelt mithril in the age of mythology, so this breastplate was probably born in the divine domain of the old demon king and given to mortals as a reward.
And Li Chengqi took over all the legacy of the old Demon King God. Naturally, when his followers touch this armor, the holy symbol will change.
If this was an ordinary adventure, it would have been a huge gain so far. For an ordinary adventurer, these gains would be enough to live a good life with no worries about food and clothing for ten lifetimes.
But for Alday, it wasn't enough.
Putting away their armor, the three of them continued towards the throne. When they approached the throne, a flame suddenly lit up on the floor in front of the throne.
The three of them took half a step back, but the flame was not aggressive at all. Instead, it was like a pen, burning out a string of demon language on the floor.
"The shadow is the key?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I don't know, maybe it's some kind of reminder."
Apart from this reminder, there is nothing else to pay attention to near the throne.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The three of them searched around the hall and found no more clues, so they turned around and returned the same way, returning to the previous circular foyer.
Then they walked non-stop into the last fork in the road that they had never entered before.
This time, the length of the corridor was still very short, and it ended within two minutes of entering.
But the bad news is that it has come to an end.
There is no door at the end of the corridor, just a wall.
This made the three of them a little dumbfounded.
It was obviously the most important moment. We had to know the whereabouts of the last Demon King's Ring, and we also had to know where the Demon King's Ring was placed in this ruins.
The result is a dead end?
The three people who refused to give up continued to walk forward until they reached the end, but they never saw the sudden appearance of multiple doors on the wall.
What to do?
Nemea immediately lowered his head to look for possible mechanisms. Zola was also confused. She knew that if there was a mechanism, Li Chengqi would directly notify her using the divine realm.
But there was nothing.
Aldai frowned as she watched this scene. Could it be that there was something wrong with the Elf's Mystery Lock?
However, Master's professional quality is to keep calm at all times, and Aldai immediately calmed down and thought.
Perhaps, the prompt I saw just now is a clue?
But the shadow is the key, and this tip sounds unclear.
Even if we take it literally, there are almost no shadows in the scene.
The three of Aldai lit up the dancing light technique. The only shadows other than the shadows of the three of them were the vases and picture frames placed on the pillars beside the wall.
What kind of tip is this?
"Is it possible that we shouldn't go in here? Maybe the copper plate behind the World Tree in the center of the circular foyer can be pried open."
Nemea searched around but couldn't find any mechanism. She said to Aldai, who was frowning and thinking:
"Professor, didn't you say that in addition to representing the faith of the elves, the World Tree will also be placed at important transportation nodes?"
This sentence inspired Aldé.
One word, multiple meanings.
If you say that, could it be a wrong translation?
"Key...key...no, that's not the key, it's the key!"
"What are you talking about?"
"I roughly know what's going on. Please help me drag the pillar with the vase over and put it in the middle of the corridor."
Zora had to do the hard work. She grabbed the pillar with both hands. That thing was actually a display stand, not supporting the ceiling, and it could move by itself.
Drag it to the middle of the corridor as Alday said.
Alday then signaled Zora and Nimia to stand behind her, and she moved the light ball of the dancing light technique in front of her.
Due to the lower light source, the shadow of the pillar was also stretched very long and projected on the wall of the dead end.
Alday then kept the dancing light technique still, she walked around the pillar and reached out to touch the shadow of the pillar on the wall.
She didn't touch the wall, but an empty hole.
"This is the entrance. We need to go through the shadows. No wonder the shadows are the key."
Auerdai raised her eyebrows, looking quite proud:
"The next room is hidden. I guess it was done by the person who sealed the Demon King's Ring."
"Why would someone leave a hint?"
"Just a guess. Is it possible that the red-haired demon left it?"
Zora said:
"He seems to be hesitant all the time."
"It is indeed possible. As for whether it is, we have to see what the last room can show us."
Speaking of this, Auerdai suddenly remembered something.
Although I have always thought that the blue-haired one is the ancestor of the Avarus family, after all, the other party looks very similar to me.
But if you think about it carefully, the red-haired demon is more like the ancestor of the Avarus family, and the blue-haired one is not.
Auerdai's grandmother is the princess of the Oswaya Demon Kingdom, and this blue hair is also the symbol of Oswaya.
And the flame-like red hair is the characteristic of the Avarus family.
