The Dream of the Century - The War of Faith Chapter 20 Qualifications for Studying
Cindy took out a scroll made of parchment, so Romani used ritual casting to cast the first-level spell of Understanding Languages.
Esther found a place to take a short break while they were researching, and took out some snacks to feed Phil while waiting for the research results there.
After Phil finished chewing, he opened his mouth and waited for the next bite, while he kept fiddling with the Rubik's Cube in his hand.
Carlin took the first step in taking the scroll, and Romani then moved over. It recorded a commission, and the content was probably to find the eleven sleeping giants and obtain the runes they kept from their mouths, and nine figures had been drawn on the scroll.
A giant rune.
"Do we still need to find the remaining two sleeping giants?" Romani whispered: "I don't know if there are any clues to find the sleeping giants... It must have been a commission a long time ago." He was quite satisfied with this.
The one who is interested is a mage after all.
"I didn't expect this to be a commission. Where did you find this?" Karin knew that the giant runes were the origin of the dwarf inscriptions.
"If you can use these runes, you should consider it. If you can't use them, why bother helping the ancients do such strange tasks." Esther interjected: "Why not study the nine recorded runes first."
"It didn't say what they were collecting for, but since the other party is here, that means there may be clues in the floating city?" Carlin guessed.
"Even if it is completed, I'm afraid the people who can answer it have already disappeared." Romani shook his head. "Mr. Cindy, where did you find this scroll?"
"This is a place similar to an association. Didn't you find any signs like maps? It stands to reason that you have collected them all, but you have made a mess down there." Esther asked helpfully.
"There used to be a room that looked like a file storage room, but only this one can be taken down, and the others are probably stored in other ways. By the way, if the crash you mentioned is true, we have to run away quickly. What are we studying?
Giant rune." Cindy said.
"There are still about ten days left, and if it crashes, it will destroy almost a third of the continent." Esther said to dispel Cindy's thoughts.
"In short, if the crash is true, we have to solve the problem before we can survive. If it is false, we have to go in and see if it is true." Carlin also persuaded.
"Mr. Cindy, do you know? There is no point in running anywhere on such a large scale." Romani was more direct. "Although it is said to have destroyed almost one-third of the continent, in fact, the subsequent consequences
The impact is enough to destroy all existing living creatures." This is just speculation, but it is really possible.
"I'm not going to lie (Multiple Cyrus's foul words are multiplied by three), then hurry up and find a solution." Cindy made a show of walking out.
"Then it's definitely not about studying the runes first, but first finding the so-called identity verification place, or directly finding the magic tower responsible for energy supply. I've never learned anything about this kind of city layout." Ace
Get up.
"Aren't we looking for it? We didn't dare to enter rashly. We just found you here after going back and forth." Carlin grabbed Cindy.
"It's definitely not this place anyway. Let's leave quickly." He said helplessly and went out directly, running down.
"So are there any clues?" It was left to them to clean up the battlefield. Esther held Phil with one hand and followed.
"Then let's go. The things here should have some collection value, but it's not too late to come out and clean them up after the problem is solved." Karin looked at Amon who had been silent.
"It needs to be cleaned up. If you do it now, it will definitely be picked up by others later. Otherwise, it will collapse and there will be no chance to recycle it." Esther said without looking back.
However, the laboratory is full of devices, each weighing hundreds of pounds. Carlin, who has studied alchemy, feels that he can only dismantle them.
Romani saw that a bunch of large equipment in the laboratory could not be moved for a while, so he had to give up and run after Cindy.
Amon finally followed.
The four of them followed Cindy to the streets of the Floating City again. He looked at the eight-cornered tower on the edge of the city.
"If you often do business with your superiors, you should be more familiar with such a large city than us. Which direction is more reliable?" Esther asked after seeing Cindy like this.
"I guess the main node of the floating power source should be under the eight towers on the city wall, otherwise there would be no need to create it like this, and the power source itself should be directly under the center of the city."
"The question is, without qualification certification, and at this distance, is the breathing reserve really sufficient in case of an accident? But now it seems there is no other choice. Can we contact other explorers, preferably the military."
"The people who are qualified for certification will only be among the four of you. At least the group of people who came with me have not heard of it. I will notify other people and confirm this matter, and we have to split up." Cindy said.
Go notify others.
"Which direction will you go after making contact? Maybe the two of us can work together to shorten the time to solve the problem." Esther asked. It would take three or four days to walk around the city alone.
"Perhaps finding the power source can solve the breathing problem? After all, in such a huge sky city, the oxygen supply mechanism should also be centralized." After making a reasonable guess, Romani continued: "What about certification? Or should we talk about it?
Let’s go take a look at the power source first?”
"Places like the power source may require higher-level permissions. Let's check the control nodes first." This is what Carlin thinks.
"I still don't know how to solve it. Anyway, do you have any tools I can contact?" Cindy asked.
"You can use this to contact me, but you'll have to give it back to the people on the airship. If you want to connect with me, use your mind." Esther took out an earring and used psychic energy to make a mind connection with Cindy.
"We can contact each other within at least two hours, and then this earring will be used once a day. It will facilitate us to contact other people you have contacted. Well, this distance may be a bit close, so you can bring two more pairs of earrings.
"
"Okay." Cindy tried to connect with her soul by saying this, then she took the earring and ran along the road towards the center of the city.
"Two hours is not long. You have to hurry up, Mr. Cindy." Romani shouted.
The distance to the left and right of the city gate is the same, anyway, so Esther picked the one on the left and ran towards it, and soon they arrived under the first octagonal tower.
The gate is closed, and the tower gate is twenty feet high and sixty feet wide.
There are no moving objects or operable mechanisms around, and it seems that the door cannot be entered by conventional means. There is a lens in the middle directly above the door that seems to be a sensing device. Looking up, there are several observation ports at the top and middle of the tower.
, is hollow.
Carlin slowly moved closer to what seemed to be a sensing device to see if there was any reaction. When he walked over, the door automatically opened to both sides.
"It seems that this part is running normally. Shall we go in?" Karin stood at the door and observed the situation inside. Inside was an empty hall. In the center of the hall was a man wearing black armor, the kind of full-coverage armor with a waistband.
Two short swords hung.
"I originally thought we had to consider the issue of impersonation verification, so let's just go in, although there may be others later." Esther took the lead and carried Phil in. "I may trouble you at any time later, Phil. I won't go out.
Unexpectedly, they seem to recognize you in a special way."
When the four people approached the door, a voice began to sound from the chip: "It has been detected that the number of people challenging is more than two. Unrelated personnel please leave." It was the synthesized sound effect of the machine warlock.
Romani tried to say hello: "Hello?"
"Forget it, the arcane core is overloaded, and the energy supply unit must be repaired as soon as possible." Esther interrupted Romani.
"Ah? Isn't this a place like a control tower? Why has it become an arena?" Kalin asked.
"Is that so? Are you asking for a duel?" Esther looked to the back, but the voice fell silent again.
"Then what do you mean, who of us will stay?" Karin doesn't care whether he holds a gun or not.
"It seems that we have found the wrong place. Although we can't rule out that this is a high tower used to verify the level, just me and Phil, Phil!" She hummed lazily, transformed into a giant scythe and flew into Esther's hand.
"Okay, we're outside. We should be able to finish it soon, right?" Carlin led the others back to the position outside the door.
"Okay." Romani gave Esther an acceleration spell before leaving.
"Preparations are complete, we still have time to complete the repair task." Esther said, observing the situation inside, but there was no response.
"Oh, there are not many people there, right? I'm coming too. I'm coming too." Karin, who had just walked to the door, saw that the door was open and turned back to go in.
"It was detected that the second challenger was not the caster of the first challenger's spell." A mechanical synthesized voice appeared.
"It seems that we can't cast a spell in advance to help. Romani, do you want to try it, or have you dispelled the spell?" Carlin shouted towards the door.
"Let me go in. Anyway, the requirement is that there will be no more than two people." After hearing the notice, Romani gave up and went back indoors, ready to fight.
Karin backed out of the door and paid attention to the situation outside the tower.
At this time, Esther and Romani saw a red light flashing from the gap in the black armored man's armor mask, which was the position of the left eye.
At this time, the door was closed. "I think I need to read the challenge description..." Romani gripped the long stick.
Esther passed the message to Carlin and Amon through the spiritual link. [If it is too troublesome, I will consider using the emblem's wandering step to send it out, or find a window to fly out. ]
"Copy that, be careful. Let's go check out other places first." Karin stood in front of the door again, but there was no other reminder.
A male voice with the same mechanical synthesis came from the helmet: "Have I waited for such a long time in history and finally waited for a qualified junior? I wonder if anyone in this world has heard of the name of the God-Deceiver. After all, this picture
