Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 66: Secret Door and Treasure Chest
"The Awakener?" A strange light flashed in Leiman's eyes.
He subconsciously looked at Marvin in the mirror, and his expression became slightly relieved: "I see."
"I was wondering why you would send a country noble to participate in the competition. Humph, it turns out that young people are more cunning."
Hathaway smiled slyly: "Anyway, you won't bother with us about this little competition."
Lehman did not comment, but nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I have no problem with that. However, do we need to report Baron Marvin's identity as an awakened person to the alliance?"
"No." Hathaway denied it flatly.
"Reporting it to the Alliance was a mistake. I think you understand that better than I do."
"The death of Lord Anthony has explained a lot of things. In recent days, I have also felt that a shadow is constantly trying to approach me!"
"If I didn't have the semi-artifact you lent me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hide my aura."
At this point, Hathaway revealed a hint of fear: "He is looking for me. It is because of my identity as an awakened person. They already know it."
Leiman's face was also very serious: "Indeed. There seems to be a traitor in the alliance... I will find a way to suppress this matter."
"Just be careful and be safe."
Hathaway nodded.
Although both of them are the masters of the branch of the Three Rings Tower, in fact, Hathaway grew up under the eyes of Lehman. The two are both teachers and friends.
Although Wizard Rayman did not give everything for the people of the East Coast as much as Anthony, he was also a very upright wizard.
Unfortunately, there are not many people like Rayman and Anthony in the Southern Wizarding Union.
Some people have been bewitched by some gods and have given up the cosmic magic pool and chosen faith.
The alliance is decaying. The three ring towers can only try to protect themselves. This is the only way for the three tower masters at present.
If the situation is not handled properly in the ensuing catastrophe, this Holy Grail War may be the last.
The Three-Ring Tower will also become a historical term and will gradually be forgotten by the dust!
…
In the cave, a fireball shot out, and heat waves rolled on the surface of the raging flames!
First-level witchcraft—[Lava Fireball]!
This is a variation of the Fireball spell that requires some powdered lava stone as a casting ingredient.
When Winnie took out the staff, he was already rubbing a handful of lava powder in his hand.
Under the effect of the spell, the fireball at the tip of the snake-shaped staff spurted out and hit the special snow monster with lightning speed!
The latter let out a wail, immediately attracting countless snow demon guards.
Bang!
Ma Wen didn't say a word and rushed forward with his sword!
Except for the special snow demon, the rest of the snow demon guards were not in his eyes.
And Winnie's magic was what Marvin specially prepared for breaking into the snow demon's lair.
Winnie's 150 spell points were all exchanged for one-level witchcraft—and they were six identical witchcrafts [Lava Fireball]!
To others, this was a completely insane spell, but Winnie still followed Marvin's arrangement.
Because he believed that his brother could make his own arrangements.
The result was just as he expected. The special spell of Lava Fireball finally came in handy.
Marvin's figure cruised back and forth among the snow demon guards, knocking down the snow debris in the blink of an eye.
"Sure enough, my experience came in handy! I hope that secret door and treasure chest are still there!"
Marvin looked at the snow on the ground and couldn't help but smile.
That special snow demon is the leader of the snow demons. There are about four to six such snow demons in each snow demon nest.
This snow demon is a second-level creature and possesses the ability of [Virtualization]!
Physical attacks are ineffective against them, and ordinary witchcraft has little effect on them. However, the attacks of the Snow Demon Leader are extremely penetrating, making it impossible to defend against them!
These are a very difficult type of character, and even second-level wizards can't do anything about them.
However, Marvin knew that there was a spell that was specifically used to restrain the Snow Demon Leader.
That's a lava fireball!
This variation of the fireball spell, once it hits the snow demon leader, will melt it into snow residue within one second!
Ordinary fireballs cannot reach such temperatures!
Most people would not choose such an unpopular spell exchange.
Therefore, the hidden terrain of the Snow Demon's Lair was actually prepared by Rayman for the second-level wizards. However, he did not expect to meet a time traveler like Marvin!
Marvin is not only a time traveler, but also a master among players.
He has walked this road countless times.
A wizard in candlelight attire and a swordsman are enough to easily clear the snow demon's lair.
But the price is that after Winnie throws six lava fireballs, he will completely lose his combat power. Then Marvin will have to protect him!
The reason Winnie got into that predicament before was because Marvin was prepared to find a different way out!
After all, this road is a complete shortcut. As long as you break into the snow demon's lair, you can find the secret door.
Behind the secret door is the top of the snow-capped mountain!
There is also a treasure chest in the snow demon's lair, and inside the treasure chest are six neatly arranged spare keys!
Now Marvin’s only hope is that these things remain unchanged.
So far, everything seems normal.
The two of them moved forward, killing various snow monsters.
The two brothers divided the work, Marvin was responsible for the snow demon guards, and Winnie was responsible for killing the snow demon leader with lava fireballs.
In just over twenty minutes, the two of them reached the deepest part of the snow demon's lair!
It was a relatively open space located in the heart of the snow-capped mountains.
At the edge of the clearing, there is a raised Ouroboros totem.
In Fenan's alchemy, the Ouroboros means "transformation", while in the eyes of wizards, this totem symbolizes "teleportation".
This is a secret portal.
Most people don’t know how to stimulate it, but Marvin knows a general direction.
Opening secret doors is also a necessary skill for thieves!
Various magical spell locks and combination locks are the characteristics of Fenan's secret door. Marvin is quite good at it.
"Brother, there's a box over there!"
Along the way, Winnie has used up five lava fireballs and has one left.
At this moment, he suddenly pointed to the empty space beside him and signaled Marvin.
The two men walked over.
The box was about the same size as Marvin remembered, and was hidden at the edge of the cave wall. Winnie was sharp-eyed and found the box right away.
This box has no mechanism and can be opened directly.
boom!
Sure enough, there were six keys lying quietly in the box!
"Let's go!" Marvin asked Winnie to put the key away and then walked towards the secret door.
Next to the Ouroboros totem , there is a small sunken platform with four sticks of different lengths on it.
The sticks can be moved, but each stick can only be moved once within each hour.
This is a movable mechanism. Through this mechanism, the opening and closing of the secret door can be controlled.
Marvin knew that the enemy was definitely tracking him. Although he didn't mind fighting the enemy head-on, he still wanted to preserve his strength as much as possible under the watchful eyes of the public.
When the battle for the Holy Grail is over, he will secretly deal with the assassins of the Unicorn Family. After that, the outbreak of the Ancient Red Dragon will catch the Unicorn Family off guard and eventually cause them to fall apart.
So Marvin must crack the mechanism of this secret door as quickly as possible!
"Four sticks...Ouroboros totem...I don't think I've ever seen this secret door mechanism before."
Marvin frowned.
The most troublesome thing about this shortcut in the battle for the Holy Grail is actually this secret door mechanism.
This mechanism is constantly changing, and almost every time you come, it is brand new. Although generally speaking, the secret door mechanism is not particularly difficult, it will take some time.
What Marvin lacks most now is time!
"Ouroboros Totem... Wait, four colors !"
Marvin had a flash of inspiration. The Ouroboros next to him were made up of four different colors, with the four snakes intertwined together, forming a concentric circle shape.
In alchemical culture, the algorithm of the Ouroboros is from the inside out, and its colors also have clear numerical codes.
Marvin's mind raced, and he instantly calculated four numbers based on the colors of the four snakes!
He reached into the stone platform, touched the stick, and found that there were indeed some scales on it. These scales could be matched with the numbers!
“It’s not that difficult!”
Marvin breathed a sigh of relief. Under Winnie's expectant gaze, Marvin moved the stick up and down according to the four numbers until it met the corresponding scale.
However, what surprised Marvin was that after he completed this action, the secret door did not react at all!
Logically, if the password is correct, there should be at least some sound.
"Wrong?" His heart sank and he tried to wave the stick.
Sure enough, the stick was locked and took an hour to unlock!
At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps came over!
Two people!
Marvin and Winnie were both shocked!
Did you finally catch up?
…
Three ring tower.
The audience stared at the largest magic mirror.
They all saw Marvin and Winnie's quick advance before. Although they didn't know what Marvin and Winnie were doing, they all vaguely guessed that there seemed to be a shortcut here.
However, their advancement speed is still a little slow!
The twin has two bodies, each with a different profession. The male body of this twin is a warrior, while the female body is obviously highly agile.
They saw with their own eyes that the man penetrated the woman's body, and the twins were tracking the two brothers at high speed in the guise of women!
That scene was really scary.
The female of the twins was obviously an expert at tracking. She soon arrived near the dense forest, found the cave, and chased in.
The audience was all worried about Ma Wen and the other guy!
They didn't think that the brothers could defeat this terrifying race of killers!
The atmosphere gradually became gloomy. In the mirror image, the two sides had already started a confrontation.
And Cui Lina, who was climbing the snow mountain alone, has been completely ignored by people!
…
In a corner under the Thunder Tower, Kate quietly looked at the scene in the mirror and quietly summoned Bending!
