Vol 2 Chapter 2519: Stair test

Chapter 2519 Stair Test
"This staircase seems to be wrong." Ms. Merlot also felt the faint fluctuations from the wooden staircase. No abnormality can be seen from the surface of the stairs, but based on her past experience, it is very likely that there is a magic array engraved on the inside or the shadow of the stairs.
As for the role of Magic Array... it is probably not a good thing.
However, Ms. Melo was not too worried. Although she could not understand the magic array, the adult next to her was the master of the magic array.
Thinking of this, Ms. Merlot looked at Angel with expectant eyes.
She hasn't forgotten the poker card on the fourth floor of the prison. If she can see Angel cracking the magic array with her own eyes, this is also a way to broaden her knowledge... Even if you don't understand it now, it doesn't matter. Meaningful.
However, Ms. Merlot's expectations eventually fell through.
Angel did not crack the magic array, but directly cast illusions, showing luminous footprints on the stairs.
"It's safe to walk with these luminous footprints. If you don't walk on the right path, you will probably... die? The kind that was put on a plate." Angel said the cruel words lightly. , Took a step back and looked at the talented people with his eyes. The meaning is obvious-you come on.
In fact, Angel had thought of cutting off the energy of the mechanism and temporarily interrupting the magic energy array. But for some reason, looking at those safe places and imagining the jumping steps of mentally retarded children, he suddenly didn't want to crack the magic array.
Facing Angel's sudden statement, all the talented people were a little dumbfounded.
"Me, shall we go first?" The fat man pointed to his nose.
Others looked at Angel with anticipation and begging eyes. They hoped so much that they understood the meaning of Angel.
If it is a normal footprint, then the footprint of the stairs is very weird. Most of them can guess just by looking at them, and they need to do some balance movements to make the connection. Even under the premise of maintaining the movement, run and jump. This is really difficult!
However, Angel's soft nod, shattered everyone's expectations.
For a while, everyone's expressions were wonderful, some were frightened, some were forced to calm down with choking saliva, and some were indifferent and indifferent after their pupils were shrunk.
Angel just watched silently, without saying a word.
"Really let them go alone?" At this moment, Ms. Merlot said.
She was very worried, but in fact, her heart was completely the opposite. Angel put the answer on the stairs. As long as she walked along the footsteps, she would be fine. This can't be done, and don't get involved in the wizarding world. The reason why she still opened her mouth was purely selfish. Rather than exercising these rookies, she still wanted to watch how Angel cracked the magic array.
The others didn't know what Ms. Merlot's true thoughts were, and they all cast gratitude at him. Sure enough, Ms. Merlot treated them better.
Angel didn't think about Ms. Merlot's thoughts either, but thought it was relentless, and replied: "That's what you meant by letting them follow to the castle? Now, why are you staying away?"
Ms. Melo smiled awkwardly. She was always embarrassed to express her sincere thoughts, and could only vaguely said: "I am not worried about them, I just want to say that the answers are given, and if they let them go, they can't exercise much ."
Angel said suspiciously: "Really?"
Ms. Merlot said affirmatively: "Yes."
"But..." Angel pointed to the talented person opposite: "Are you sure you gave the answer, do they dare to leave?"
Ms. Merlot followed Angel's line of sight. Except for Sybil who maintained Miss Indifference, the others were obviously afraid.
Even Sybil, based on Melo's understanding of her, is probably playing drums at this time, but the set cannot be lost.
"Since Ms. Merlot feels that she has given the answer, she can't exercise much." Angel muttered: "Well then, I will give you a few minutes of memory time. Remember where to go, and then I will erase the prompt. , This can be considered a bit more difficult to exercise."
When everyone heard this, they were really stunned.
They thought that Ms. Merlot was the angel who came to save them. They didn't expect that the exchange of just a few words would change from expressing the answer to going blind.
Ms. Melo opened her mouth, trying to say something, but looking at Angel's indifferent expression, she did not speak any more after all.
This group of talented people is indeed a bit too watery. As a guide for recruiting them, Ms. Melo herself admits this.
Bring this group of talented people back to the savage cave, will there really be wizards who will send them flying posts?
Thinking of this, Ms. Melo didn't hesitate, and decisively followed Angel on the same front.
"There are only eighteen steps in total, and I will give you five minutes...No, five minutes is too long, but three minutes is more appropriate. Give you three minutes of memory time, now the countdown begins."
Angel snapped his fingers directly, and an hourglass phantom appeared in the air to count the time.
Although everyone wanted to say "three minutes is short" at this time, looking at the hourglass above their heads, they knew that they could not escape, and they came to the vicinity of the stairs to remember.
When they remembered, Angel turned his head and looked at the specimen corridor.
He doesn't really feel that he has plenty of time. He has long been paying attention to the situation on the first floor of the castle by intervening in the magic circle in the castle.
Today, the emperor’s meal has come to an end. If she doesn't go to other places, it won't be long before she will come up.
But even so, Angel did not intend to give up the "training" of these talented people.
And the confidence lies in... illusion.
Angel stretched out his finger and released a large number of illusion nodes toward the specimen corridor. These nodes, combined with the densely packed skull specimens, were enough to turn this corridor into an endless corridor.
Even if Grey Crow followed the emperor, Angel had the confidence to trap them for a while.
After doing all this, Angel turned his head to look at the group of talented people.
Angel discovered that this group of talented people actually has merits, as long as you push deeper, the potential will always come out.
Just like this, Angel saw the different strategies of this group of talented people.
There is almost no way of memorizing by rote, some are taking out the pen to write and drawing on the hand, some are moving their fingers quickly, looking like they are playing the piano, using the code of the finger to remember the position.
And the most interesting is Amesa.
Amesha directly jumped up on the spot, jumping left and running right, and then a balanced posture, directly using muscles to remember.
Three minutes later, the hourglass disappeared and the luminous footprints on the stairs gradually disappeared.
Angel looked at everyone: "Who will go first?"
At this time, everyone was rushing to get it first, after all, temporary memory, the sooner you use it, the better.
In the end, Amesha came first, which was regarded as everyone's care for her. After all, among them, only Amesha suffered the punishment.
Amesha didn't give up, took a deep breath, and came to the stairs.
She did not move immediately, but hummed a cheerful children's song in her mouth. With the rhythmic drumbeat of a nursery rhyme, Amesha stepped onto the stairs like dancing.
Perhaps it was a bonus to the nursery rhymes, and everyone found that Amesha's performance was quite smooth. It took almost a few seconds to get to the third floor without triggering the mechanism.
Seeing Amesa's success also gave others some confidence.
They began to queue upstairs.
At this time, the talented people were all concerned about how to go upstairs safely, but they didn't notice how beautiful their postures upstairs were.
Ms. Merlot looked at each gifted person, walking and jumping like a mentally retarded child, and suddenly an idea came up in her heart.
Could it be... Ms. Merlot turned to look at Angel.
Angel glanced at her, and Ms. Merlot immediately turned her head and looked at the funny scenes on the stairs with serious expression.
Everyone has different methods and different efficiency, but Ms. Melo is pleased that everyone went upstairs smoothly without triggering the mechanism.
Sure enough, the potential is to be forced out.
Although this exercise is not difficult, it is a good start for these people who came out of the ivory tower to do this step.
While Ms. Merlot was relieved, Angel did not feel anything at all. If this level of difficulty is not enough, it would be really stupid.
However, after the talented people went upstairs, it was their turn.
A group of talented people are also on the third floor, looking down with their heads stretched out. They also want to see the posture of Angel and Ms. Melo upstairs. They still remembered their ugliness when they went upstairs, and they didn't know if they would... Everyone didn't dare to think about it, after all, they were supernatural beings.
What everyone did not expect at all was that Angel did not take the stairs at all.
Seeing him gently stretched out his hand, a wave of ripples appeared in front of him, and a door that was invisible to the naked eye appeared in front of him.
Angel stretched out his hand to Ms. Merlot: Ladies first.
Ms. Merlot walked into the door silently, and Angel followed. Passing through this door, they appeared directly beside the group of talented people.
Seeing Angel and Ms. Merlot coming through the space gate, everyone was silent.
Obviously there is such a tall space door...Why are they forced to do mentally retarded behavior? !
Ms. Melo was also silent. She originally thought she was going to go upstairs in a weird posture, but she didn't expect Angel to use the space-out technique to directly teleport it.
Moreover, they only opened the door to teleport after all the talents had reached the third floor.
This made Ms. Merlot more convinced of a certain guess in her heart.
Perhaps her cheap school brother Sairum was right, Angel was actually a boring show. On the surface, it is elegant and gentle, but in fact, there is still stubbornness from time to time. And this time the staircase incident, it is estimated that Angel's stubborn side has surfaced...
Of course, Angel would not admit that he wanted to see how mentally disabled children came upstairs to make this scene.
He is really training these talented people, you see, is he pushing out their potential?
Angel didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he did, and glanced at everyone: "The situation on the third floor is different from the other two floors. There is only one room here, but there may be some surprises in this room."
Angel went straight to the topic, causing all the talented people to temporarily give up thinking about the staircase incident and looked behind him.
They noticed it when they came up before.
There are no corridors on the third floor. There is a small area on both sides that looks like a corridor. In fact, you can see the end of the wall at a glance.
And the staircase directly opposite is a double-opening door like a fairy tale style.
The color of the door is mainly pink and red, and it has a fairy tale flavor. There are some carvings on the door, which seem to be fairy tales. But if you look carefully, you will find that the fairy tales in it have been changed by magic. For example, the princess is happy with the prince, but the way is different. The prince is eaten into the stomach by the princess. It can be considered together.
There is no mechanism on the door, but the handle for pushing the door is a bit low, obviously designed according to the height of the emperor.
Angel directly pushed open the door.
Everyone looked at the door curiously, but they couldn't see anything behind the door because it was covered with rainbow-colored fog.
"Go in, there is no danger, but there are some surprises." Angleton paused, "Or, frightened."
Angel finished speaking and walked directly into the rainbow mist.
Ms. Merlot immediately followed.
Other talents have no other choice at this time, and can only follow up.
...
As soon as Ms. Melo entered the rainbow mist, she felt something wrong, as if there was a familiar energy floating around.
Before she could judge the source of this energy, she found a door in front of her.
With the appearance of the door, the surrounding rainbow mist seemed to fade away. I can vaguely see that there are gravel roads and a fence around this door. And this door seems to be the door of a wooden house?
Why is there still a wooden house in the room on the third floor? Is this an illusion?
Ms. Merlot hesitated for a moment, she still wanted to go inside before she couldn't find other clues. Moreover, Angel said before that there seems to be no danger here.
Thinking of this, Ms. Melo walked up the gravel road and came to the door.
The door was not locked and was easily pushed open.
A gentle and kind old female voice came back from inside: "Little Merlot, you are back, I just heated up your favorite sweet snail soup, come and taste it."
The familiar voice instantly stunned Ms. Melo. She raised her head to look, but saw a gray-haired old woman in the middle of the room smiling at her in front of the fire.
And this old woman, Ms. Merlot is no stranger to her...grandmother.
Grandmother's voice and grandmother's smile are the same as they remembered. But Melo knew that this one was not her grandmother.
At least, when grandmother cooks the soup, she will use a long spoon to stir instead of reaching directly into the hot pot.
"Is this the surprise, or fright, what the adults said?" Merlot whispered.
Although she knew that the grandmother in front of her was not real, Melo still walked over. The dusty memories were opened in an alternative way. Whether it was real or not, she wanted to take a look at her grandmother more seriously and carefully. His face, listen to the familiar voice, even if the other party is saying terrible things and doing strange things.
However, before Melo could walk to her grandmother's side, the scene before her suddenly changed.
The grandmother is gone, the wooden house is gone, and the pot of stew is gone. She was no longer in the wooden house at this time, but came to a glass house.
She is not the only one in the glass room, Angel is sitting in the middle of the glass room at this time.
After confirming that Angel was not a phantom, Melo hesitated for a while and asked: "Did the adult pull me in?"
Angel nodded.
"Although I don't know what you see, it is just a bubble created by illusion... You should also see the obvious falsehoods, so don't indulge yourself." Looking at the tranced Ms. Merlot, Angel whispered softly. Tao.
Ms. Merlot was silent for a long while before nodding: "I understand."
As if not wanting to say too much about the illusion she saw, Ms. Merlot took a deep breath and quickly changed the subject: "My lord, I don't know where it is?"
"The only place in the Rainbow Phantom House that is not disturbed by phantoms is also a transit point to the next room."
