Chapter 164: Bia
"There is a trap in the corridor ahead. Follow my steps and make sure every step is the same. If you make a mistake, it will be fatal..."
"Are there 'Rolling Stones', 'Broken Stones' and 'Pits'?"
"How do you know?"
"Well, the words on it read: [Rolling stone mechanism ahead, the rock wall behind the sun pattern can be avoided], [Blue bricks with opposite patterns will trigger broken stones and pits]..."
“…”
After a few times, Canossa knew why Ryan insisted on following.
In the past two months, she had figured out most of the corridors of this ancient ruins. Then, relying on the "stupid method" of marking along the way, she finally found the bronze giant door that led to the temple after a narrow escape.
And now...
Some guy was strolling along the way, pointing out to her which passages led to where and where there were dangers without even looking at the signs.
There are also so-called dangerous routes, many of which are actually [Caves for Feeding Buchner], which already have "Danger Warnings" on them.
She almost lost her life several times before she accidentally found the rule that standing under the relief of "a blade of grass" could avoid the tentacle monster's attack. Ryan also told her clearly that it was also engraved on the stone wall.
This made Mrs. Canossa feel frustrated. The route she had risked her life to explore suddenly became worthless.
However, any extra security is a good thing.
…
The two of them went down all the way. With Ryan's "road sign recognition" and Canossa's experience, they did not encounter any danger and soon descended to the deepest part of the ancient ruins.
"So... not only do you know the Monk's language, you're also proficient in it?"
Canossa showed an extremely incredible expression.
As we all know, there are very few existing documents on the "Monkr civilization", a discontinuous civilization.
It is almost unheard of that any library has a complete copy of the document, and even the single words are extremely limited. It can be said that among the best ancient writing experts in the two empires, no one dares to say that they are "proficient" in this ancient language.
But now, Ryan refreshed her cognition.
This guy easily deciphered the words on the walls, some passages, some caves, almost exactly the same as what she had explored before.
"Yes. By chance, I studied this ancient language systematically."
Ryan nodded without further explanation.
Turning around, he pointed to the "Nine-Choice One" passage that Canossa said was extremely dangerous, and accurately pointed out the correct passage: "This one has a sign that says [Leading to the Temple Square], and the other few have warnings about danger and do not enter..."
“…”
This was the last crisis choice before getting to the temple. Upon hearing this, the extremely talented lady glanced at him, her face showing shock but also full of anticipation.
There are a lot of symbols and languages from the Monkle era on the bronze door. With Dr. Ryan who is proficient in this ancient language, wouldn't he know what the bronze door is about?
Canossa smiled and said to Ryan: "Yeah~ It seems that it was right to bring you here."
This was much more efficient than her random search without any clue.
…
Soon, the two of them successfully arrived at the huge bronze gate.
"This...isn't the door too big?"
Ryan looked at the huge bronze gate in front of him that was over a hundred meters high, wondering how those ancient people had cast such a large metal door.
Stepping up the stairs that were nearly half a meter high, Ryan took the magic light source and moved closer to take a look. He saw that it was densely engraved with various reliefs.
Canossa: "There is no mechanism near this door. I have tried it. You can touch it freely..."
After hearing this, Ryan dared to take action.
This closed door looks like it's made of bronze, but it feels cold to the touch.
Canossa has stopped here many times.
She tried various methods, but couldn't find any way to open the huge door.
There is no keyhole, no pull ring, no trigger mechanism...it is even so tightly closed that one cannot tell whether it is a panel door that is pushed open left or right, or a gate that opens up and down.
Even though she pushed and pulled with all her strength from various angles, the giant door showed no signs of loosening.
She looked at Ryan studying the relief on the bronze door and explained, "I have studied the relief carefully. It seems to describe the worship scene of the past. The muscular man on the altar in the middle is the 'powerful demon' Morogos... and there are some fist-sized holes over there. I suspect they are keyholes. I saw the patterns on it. Maybe it is some kind of ancient civilization code. I have seen some patterns, but I can't crack it yet..."
These were the rounds she had come up with over the past two months, and she listed them out one by one in the hope of helping Ryan save some time on observation.
After a pause, she looked at Ryan expectantly, blinked and said, "Doctor Ryan, have you figured out anything?"
“…”
But as Ryan listened to her words, his expression gradually became a little strange.
Then, he looked at Mrs. Canossa who was looking forward to it, and finally said, "Well... I think the method of opening the door seems to have nothing to do with the relief..."
Canossa was stunned. "No way? There are so many relief carvings in a regular pattern on it..."
She didn't finish her words. Her expression froze for a moment. Then she turned and looked at Ryan with a smile. She knew what he had figured out, so she asked, "So, Dr. Ryan, did you figure out how to open this bronze door?"
"yes."
Ryan shrugged, pointed to the two lines of words on the side, and said, "It says [Believers of God, praise the great Lord General Morogos, the gate of the temple will be opened for you]..."
"What does this mean? A riddle?"
Canossa was confused. "Praising the gods can open the door? How do you praise them?"
Before, Ryan would never have thought of this.
But he had been staying in the Kerman tribe for some time, watching the priests and warriors praising the god every day, so how could he not know?
It is almost the same as the "worship" and "mass" procedures in the religious beliefs of the previous life.
Then, Ryan stood in front of the bronze gate, imitating the daily prayers of the Coleman people, protecting his chest with both hands alternately, and shouted loudly: "&*%ф%￥ё￥..."
When Canossa heard this, his expression froze.
Although I didn't understand it, I guessed that it might be an ancient saying.
However, the expected miracle did not happen, and the door showed no sign of opening.
Seeing this, Ryan frowned: "Huh... That's strange, why is it not possible?"
Canossa was also amused by his action and joked: "You don't want to shout a few times to make such a huge door open?"
Obviously, she felt that this was simply impossible. This was a huge bronze door that even a hundred strong men might not be able to push open. How could it be opened with just two shouts?
In order not to embarrass Ryan, she squinted her eyes and smiled, then changed the subject: "What language did you just speak? The tongue-twisting sound was so pleasant to the ear..."
“Oh, that’s Coleman.”
Ryan responded casually.
He was still thinking in his mind, the method of opening the door was clearly marked on the side, how could it be wrong?
It was the first time that Canossa heard this language, and he asked curiously, "Korman, is that a minority language in some region?"
“Yes… eh…!”
Ryan was about to answer when an idea suddenly occurred to him, "That's right! Language!"
Finally, he knew why it couldn't be opened.
The way of praising is right...it's the language that is wrong!
Coleman is the current language, but the ancient people used "Monkl"!
Canossa, who was standing by, looked at Ryan's expression several times and suddenly became very excited, and also secretly expectant: Could it be that he had thought of another way to open the door?
However, the next moment, she was disappointed, "It's still the old method..."
But Ryan still protected his chest with both hands alternately, and shouted towards the gate again: "&*%фRR%￥ё￥..."
Although he still didn't understand, Canossa could tell that the two prayers seemed to be in two different languages, because there was no tongue-twisting sound in the latter sentence.
And just after Ryan Ryan prayed this time, a miracle happened!
Snap...
At this moment, the two suddenly felt the ground tremble, and heard the crisp metallic sound of dense gears and springs touching each other.
“This… can’t be…”
Then, under Canossa's wide-open gaze, the huge bronze door in front of him slowly opened a crack, which then became bigger and bigger.
Snap, snap, snap…
After being sealed for countless years, this huge bronze door finally opened!
Seeing this, Ryan was delighted: "It really worked?! This thing... is actually voice-controlled!"
The hole on the bronze door is not a keyhole, but seems to be a special conductive hole for collecting sound?
Although I didn't understand why this seemingly primitive bronze door could be opened by "voice control", it just opened anyway.
Canossa was still in shock for a long time. He had been studying hard for two months, but it was revealed by just one sentence?
She asked, "What did you just say to the door?"
Ryan pointed at the ancient characters on the carving: "Praise the great Lord General Morogos."
Canossa was confused : "Ah? Then why didn't you open it the first time?"
Ryan: "Because the first time I used Coleman, and the second time I used Monk's Go."
"You can speak Monk's tongue?"
At this moment, Canossa looked at Ryan, her beautiful eyes full of surprise, as if she had seen a treasure boy who brought her one big surprise after another!
If it means knowing the characters, then it can also be understood that there are enough documentary materials available and they have been translated.
But the remains of the Monkel civilization have been lost for at least tens of thousands of years, and the pronunciation has long been lost. How is it possible that anyone can still know it?
The huge bronze door was opened, and Ryan was also a little excited. He shrugged and said, "I learned it when I learned Monk's language."
Canossa no longer cared about the language. The brilliance in his eyes became brighter and brighter. He murmured, "The temple is really open..."
The temple inheritance that she had risked her life for was now right before her eyes, and this lady could no longer suppress her excitement.
Before Ryan could react, he suddenly felt warm and full of jade.
Then, the charming lady took off her gas mask without any shyness and gave Ryan a kiss on the forehead.
"Mua~"
The smile on her face suddenly blossomed, like a spring breeze blowing, "Great! Bringing you here is indeed my wisest choice!"
“…”
I was kissed?
There was a lingering fragrance on her cheek. Ryan raised his eyebrows and followed her in without thinking much.
In this world, kissing between men and women is a normal etiquette. It can be used to express gratitude, meet each other, celebrate, or tease each other...especially between acquaintances, no one will care.
But this lady...
She is a delicate beauty no matter how you look at her, but why did she choose this "powerful" extraordinary route...
