Perhaps it was yesterday's purple lemon Frappuccino that gave him the courage. Sherlock randomly picked three ingredients and stir-fried them with fresh milk.
The result was a white custard-like thing with black and yellow lumps wrapped on it.
"Are you sure this thing is edible?" In view of the milk tea and hot pot last night, Cindy did not throw the bowl out immediately.
"Of course, it's not only delicious, but also has extremely high nutritional value. I've eaten several bowls of it for beauty and beauty." Sherlock encouraged from the side.
"Then, let me try it." Cindy took a spoonful of it and put it into her mouth.
The milk is moderately sweet and sour, and the stir-fry is pretty good. The hard ones should be walnuts.
She felt relieved and gently bit into the ingredients in the milk.
In an instant, a strong fishy smell exploded in her mouth.
"vomit!"
The milk that had just flowed into the esophagus poured out of the throat and sprayed on Sherlock's face.
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh..."
"Does it taste bad?" Sherlock wiped his face and asked cautiously.
"Uh-huh..." Cindy didn't know whether she was angry, uncomfortable, or both.
His little face turned red, but he couldn't say a word.
Well, seeing this reaction, there’s no need to ask anymore.
Sherlock handed over a glass of water and quietly poured out the three treasures fried milk in his bowl.
"How many bowls of this have you eaten?" Cindy finally recovered and asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, look, I've eaten it all." Sherlock showed his empty bowl.
"Since it's so delicious, I'll give you this bowl too." Cindy's eyes showed a fierce light, as if I would kill you if you don't eat.
"I'm full. If you don't like it, just throw it out." Sherlock said and ran away quickly.
"Sherlock..."
"Barack, let's get ready to leave. We should be able to reach your teacher's lair today."
"Sherlock!"
"Girl, let me march towards the rising sun."
"Xia-luo-ke-"
…
Barak's master is a powerful red copper dragon who lives on the southern edge of the Dragon Jaw Mountains, in the Tannas Mountains southwest of Aglalon, bordering the Brown Wetland and Youmu Forest.
The natural national boundary of Serre.
Although the Tannas Mountains are not as steep as Cape Longya, there are many caves and canyons in them, making walking in them not easy.
From sunrise to sunset, after walking for a whole day under Cindy's resentful gaze, Sherlock and the others finally arrived at the habitat of the copper dragon.
"Barack, does your master live inside this mountain wall?" Cindy pointed forward and asked curiously.
"That's right, it's right here. Bakola comes here every year." Balak took out a red crystal stone and pressed it into a gap in the center of the stone wall.
After a while, the rocks on the mountain wall continued to move outward, and a huge hole was revealed.
Afterwards, Bakola lit a piece of dragon dung and led the two of them inside.
Over the past year, Sherlock has seen many giant dragons, but this is the first time he has entered the dragon's nest.
The Book of Dragons records that copper dragons like to live in dry, rocky highlands or hills.
Their lairs are often built in long and narrow caves, and the entrances are usually covered using earth movement or stone shaping.
If it weren't for Balak's guidance, ordinary people might not be able to discover the secret of this mountain wall even if they search for a year.
"Barak, is this piece of dragon dung used to guide the way?" Sherlock suddenly asked.
"Yes." Barak nodded: "This piece of dragon dung has my teacher's magic power on it. After it is lit, the smoke that comes out will automatically trace the teacher's location."
"It's a pity. I originally wanted to see the famous Red Rock Labyrinth of the Red Copper Dragon." Sherlock said regretfully.
In addition to their humor and good life skills, copper dragons are most well known to outsiders for the mazes they build to protect their lairs.
In many legends, there are scenes where adventurers break through the Red Rock Labyrinth, gain the friendship of the Red Copper Dragon, and finally grow into heroes.
But in fact, not many people have actually seen the Red Rock Labyrinth.
It's not because no one dares to break in, it's because they can't find any trace of the copper dragon.
It was a rare visit for Sherlock, so he naturally wanted to see it.
"Cassindiyu, Yucindika!"
A dragon roar sounded, and a rock suddenly fell from the top, just separating Sherlock and Baccarat.
"I have a bad mouth." Sherlock said with a bitter smile.
Since acquiring all of Asadron's dragon power, his dragon language has been upgraded to full level 12, so he can naturally understand this sentence.
The general meaning is that since you want to see it, let you see it.
He originally just got a bargain and behaved a little bit, but he didn't expect that Barak's teacher would actually give him such a favor.
"It's okay, I haven't played a maze for a long time anyway." After Cindy understood it clearly, she said happily.
It’s not that she hasn’t played in a maze for a long time, but she hasn’t been exposed to any amusement projects since she was 11 years old.
At this time, I was naturally eager to give it a try.
"There's nothing I can do if I don't want to play now." Sherlock said hello to Barak on the other side, and then retreated with Cindy.
There is obviously more than one correct route to this maze, and there are even ten or twenty possible ways.
But it's not easy to find them. In addition to the dense forks, the most difficult thing is that this maze is three-dimensional.
The uphill and downhill slopes from time to time are more likely to confuse people's sense of direction than the side roads.
"Sherlock, have you been to an amusement park?" Cindy asked tentatively while drinking juice.
"Miss, you don't know my situation. Where do you get the money to go to the amusement park?" Sherlock was carving marks on the wall with his shuriken.
"Then do you want to go?"
"No, you can play those projects in the virtual world anyway, not to mention the Forgotten Kingdom." Sherlock replied casually.
"Oh." Cindy responded, with a hint of disappointment in her tone.
But this loss is destined to be ignored by no one.
Sherlock had already devoted himself wholeheartedly to the maze. After marking it, he walked straight forward without looking back.
Although the red rock labyrinth is complicated, as a druid, he is not clueless.
With his superior perception of the natural environment in his blue frog form, he could easily distinguish the traces of man-made modifications in the cave, as well as the faint smell of dragon feces in the air.
Along the way, he would make mistakes several times at the beginning.
After I became familiar with the structural characteristics of this maze, I never encountered a dead end again.
"How did you do it?" Of course Cindy also saw the complexity of this maze, so she was even more surprised.
"This." Sherlock pointed to his head and said with a confident smile.
But soon, his smile stiffened.
Because, on one side of the mountain wall, he saw the marks he had carved along the way - a tilted sword-shaped cross and the number 9 representing the order of the marks.
"How is that possible!"
All the signs on the road showed that every choice he made was correct. Sherlock really couldn't believe that he would end up back at the previous fork in the road.
Is there any special setting in this maze that I haven't noticed?
No! This mark seems different from the one I carved.
Sherlock suddenly discovered the problem.
His mark was carved with a golden shuriken, leaving some scratches or teeth on the rock wall.
But the mark in front of me seems to be formed naturally, and no trace of artificial processing can be seen.
It's stone shaping!
Sherlock has already thought of the copper dragon's trick.
Since the other party deliberately blocked it, it proved that his previous analysis was not wrong. If he continued on this road, he would definitely find an exit.
"Flower!"
Sherlock's mind moved, and Huayedi flew out of the star world.
As the eternal dream danced on her hand, the humidity in the cave suddenly increased.
Soon, white mist began to rise.
"Cindy, you stay here, I'll explore the way ahead."
Generally speaking, there is no danger in the red copper dragon's lair, but just in case, Sherlock still left Lan and Huayedi behind.
Melt into the water!
His figure became blurry for a while, and then dissipated in the mist like bubbles.
A simple maze, no matter how complex the terrain structure is, is not too difficult for Sherlock.
Let’s not talk about the druid’s ability to perceive the environment.
With his current mental activity, it would be easy to draw a map of the entire maze as long as he was willing to take the time to follow all the forked paths.
If it's too slow, you can use multiple shadow clones to speed it up.
That's right, after seeing Soto use such a buggy skill as multiple shadow clones for the first time, he didn't hesitate to use the recorder's copying ability to learn it.
Although twice the skill point consumption is a bit painful, as long as the mana amount is enough, the ability to summon unlimited clones is definitely worth the money.
There are two methods, the former is analysis and truth-seeking, and the latter is trial and error elimination. Under normal circumstances, a way out can be found.
But now the copper dragon has started cheating for some unknown reason, so Sherlock naturally has no choice but to cheat.
And blending into the fog is his plug-in.
When his whole body was integrated into the mist, his perception could spread and touch every corner of the cave.
Soon, he discovered an extremely open space.
The water mist fell to the ground and gathered into human shapes.
As soon as Sherlock opened his eyes, he saw a huge red dragon entrenched among the pile of gems in the center, looking at him with a depressed expression.
"Sir Ipgil, your maze is very interesting." He said with a smile.
