Vol 4 Chapter 21: Crack

Hidden Castle.
Shuy and Buckler and Christine are discussing what happened today.
"Things have changed far beyond our imagination. The Dardanelles are facing threats from all directions. Xiu Yi, if you can't think of a solution to the problem, we will be sad later." Buckler was serious Say.
Christine also asked him: "What are you going to do about your relationship with Her Royal Highness Princess Avril? If she recognizes you ..."
"I won't hurt her." Xiu said with certainty: "She's not sure that I'm Xiu Yierer. I can use teleportation technology, just like in the city of Royo, let Xiu Yierer She appeared in two places at the same time with Catherd D'Arnir to dispel her suspicion. At that time, it will also be when I shot Weston and Raschel, if necessary, count Bateson. "
"It's a solution. The question is when is the right time?" Buckler asked.
Xiu Yi lowered her head and thought: "If Avril doubts me, she will take the initiative to create an opportunity to meet me again. We just need to wait and meditate."
There was a strange touch of color in Christine's eyes: "I can see that she has a deep affection for you."
Is it jealous? Still jealous?
Xiu does not know.
He walked over, holding Christine's waist gently, trying to make her feel her care for her, and using action to open her knot.
This method had a good effect, and Christine snuggled in his arms, showing strong affection in her eyes.
...
The following days, it became a bit dull and dull.
Those who threatened the existence of the Xiuyi and Dardanelle families did not immediately come to the door. The Dardanelle family had a rare period of peace.
During this time, there are two major events. One is that after negotiations with Xiuyi, the heads of various commercial banks formally bought the plot of land near the Magic Academy and started the construction of an alchemy factory. The works of this kind of factory are not big, and it is expected that it will be completed soon. Another thing is to crack the secret of the castle with all its strength.
For Xiu Yi, cultivation is a long-term matter, and he cannot be made a strong person in a short time, but alchemy is different. In this crisis-prone city, Winrington, he urgently needs to further strengthen his strength. He used to think that himself, who had Electra notes and a laboratory, was closer to the laboratory than anyone else, but when he racked his brains and couldn't find a solution to the problem, he finally started to realize his distance The legendary Alchemist is too far away. This made him a little discouraged.
But today, Nancy, who is far away from the Valley Lab, has brought him good news: "I know that you are currently studying the cracking of the Blood Sacrifice Circle. You know that I can't help you in this regard. That said, I have searched every corner of this laboratory, and I haven't found any information related to this. But today, the assistant of the puppet told me that it might give you some good suggestions. "
Golem Assistant? When Xiu was confused, he did not expect that the puppet assistant who was left in the laboratory knew about the alchemy in this regard.
"Call it over," he said quickly.
In the crystal ball, the huge head of the Doll's Assistant No. 6 appeared.
He shook his head and said to the crystal ball, "Hello, my new owner."
"I hope you have good news for me, number six. I mean, can you help me unlock the secrets of your former master's castle?"
"Oh, if you ask me the Blood Ritual Circle and that castle, I have nothing to tell you."
"So what can you tell me?" Xiuyi wasn't angry, he knew that the brain of this thing was rigid.
"I can tell you something about my former master's understanding of the alchemy mechanism."
"Okay you said, that also helps my thinking."
"Yes, my smart new owner. Mrs. Nancy told me that you got another laboratory of my former owner, but it was very dangerous and anyone who entered at random would die. This reminds me of my former Something the host said. "
"What is it?"
"He never advocates a deadly alchemy institution. He believes that any institution trap should leave a way to live, a method that can be cracked."
"Very well, I think so, Electra is not a murderer, nor should it be. And that statue should be the key."
"That's true. That should be the key to the laboratory."
"key?"
"Yes. My former owner had two basic habits when leaving his laboratory. One was to leave a powerful Warcraft for care, and the other was to require a key to open it. This key is not necessarily a formed key , But a certain condition that needs to be met. For example, the stone gate law formation in Valley Lab is the key. If you did not unlock the law formation at the beginning, you cannot enter the laboratory, otherwise the terrible encounter will be waiting for you. "
"That is to say, my current thinking is correct. If I don't unlock the mystery of the statue, entering the laboratory can only be a dead end."
"That's right, but it's clear that you've got the wrong way of solving the mystery. You focus on the blood sacrifice circle inside the statue."
"Do you think this is wrong?"
"My former host played a very clever trick. He knows that everyone who hits his laboratory is a fanatic pursuit of alchemy. If there is a law circle that they have not seen, then they will definitely Focus on cracking it. "
"You mean, that's a trap. I don't need to bother with the magic array inside the statue?"
"Yes, I know my former master very well. He believes that the best alchemy trap is not the strength of the trap itself, but the grasp of the human heart. So if you are thinking about cracking one because of your persistent pursuit of alchemy You can't even touch the magic circle, then you will probably not be able to solve his mystery in a lifetime. If you think about it differently, you may find that things are not that difficult. "
There was a gleam of light in Xiuyi's eyes: "Change your mind ..."
He lowered his head for a moment, then said, "No. 6, what else do you understand about your former master?"
Answer No. 6: "He always thought that a lock could be added to the door to knowledge, but the key to unlock the lock only needed to be kept secret."
Xiu Yi suddenly realized.
"Thank you very much, on the 6th, without you, I may still be hovering over how to safely open the statue. But in fact, Electra has clearly told me long ago that he does not want anyone to destroy the castle. . "
He stood up and hurriedly walked towards the castle gate.
When he came, he kept regretting it. All the time he thought about how to safely open the statue, get in touch with the blood sacrifice array, and then crack the organ left by Electra, so that he could enter the laboratory safely. .
In fact, Electra has long left the way and way to enter the laboratory. The use of that statue is not to destroy it, it is a key. The key should be reusable. It exists to open the door, not to be destroyed.
From the beginning, Xiu Yi fell into a misunderstanding of thinking.
The disappearance of those bloodstains may not be a discovery, but a reminder. It is a reminder that Electra intentionally stayed on it, but Xiuyi thought he had found this big secret by accident. Realize where the key is.
Standing in front of the four-winged toothy beast statue at the gate of the castle, Xiuyi repeatedly observed the two statues.
The two stone statues look ugly, with sharp teeth, wide wings, and magnificent. In the past, Xiuyi had not carefully observed their existence, but now Xiuyi has carefully observed that the teeth of the two stone statues are slightly different.
The stone statue on the right has one more small curved tooth than the stone statue on the left. If you don't look closely, you won't notice it.
Xiu Yi stepped forward and tried to pull the little tooth, but did not move at all.
He thought about it, following the direction of the small teeth, and opened his mouth to the statue.
Xiu can feel a small bump in the statue's mouth.
Press hard and the bump disappears in the beast's mouth.
"Is this okay?" Xiu Yi was a little confused. He was sensitive that it should not be so simple. As Assistant Six said, Electra's alchemy trap was aimed at the human heart, not the institution itself. When you think you are done, maybe it is not enough.
After thinking about it, Xiu Yi came to the stone statue on the left again.
After turning around the statue, Xiu Yi suddenly found that the eyes of the statue seemed to have changed color. The grey eyes were slightly reddish.
Mind moved, Xiu Yi pressed firmly on the stone statue's eyes.
At the same time, the two stone heads shrank into the stone statue, and inside the high tower not far away, there was a dull sound, like the sound of a gear turning.
Xiu breathed a long breath, which was the complete way to close the laboratory.
If anyone thinks that if he finds the bulge of the stone statue on the right, even if he has completed the task, he will be very wrong.
The stone statue on the left is actually the way to close the laboratory. The stone statue on the right is actually the institution that started the stone statue on the left. The traps set by Electra were interlocked, and one was taken careless by accident.
Perhaps the secret of the stone statue has been discovered before, but the eyes of the stone statue on the left have been ignored. As a result, after entering the laboratory, they encountered unexpected events.
If there is no reminder from the puppet assistant, Xiuyi may not have discovered this secret in his life. Of course, even if it is discovered, it may be a dead end.
Standing in front of the high tower, Xiu Yi knew that the time for adventure had arrived.
Putting his finger in his mouth, Xiu Yi made a loud whistle.
In the air, red and green circled down and landed on his shoulder.
Xu screamed rushing out of an unknown corner and rushed into his arms.
The black warrior and undead monster rat also appeared in the tower, waiting for Xiuyi's order.
Although all the laboratory's agencies have been closed, Xiu Yi was fully prepared to face danger before entering the laboratory.
"Well, my friends, here is the time to explore with me." Xiu Yi said in a loud voice. !! ~!
