"What should I do? Haha." After hearing Moriarty's words, the old harpy woman just sneered a few times and continued to fly into the ancient palace.
"What should I do? Just trap them."
"Anyway, this is not the only group of cows that have been trapped to death recently. Hehe, they are all rich men with wealth, so we can get a lot of advantage."
On the contrary, the Harpy sisters smiled at each other and answered Moriarty's question. However, their answers were obviously extremely vicious, and it seemed that they had made up their minds from the beginning to rob the tauren team carrying the birthday gift.
As for what to do with the victim after the robbery, it was clear from the cold smiles of the two harpies.
"Aren't you worried that the 'Maze Keeper' will know?" Moriarty sighed softly and began to follow the two sisters into the palace while continuing to ask.
"Haha, Lord Cleveland is so famous that we naturally don't dare to offend him in the slightest. However, none of these tauren tribes who came to the 'Dark Neon Color' from other places have been squeezed out, or they are pitifully small tribes. For these
A fringe element, the maze guardian wouldn't even remember it, right?" Sister Lina gave the human mage an interesting look, with a proud calculation on her face.
"Right."
Moriarty also nodded. The superior will only remember the people or things that are interesting to him or may threaten him. As for the others, no matter how much he fawns over him, they will only take it for granted in the eyes of the superior. In the blink of an eye,
I forgot again.
Entering the ancient hall inside the mountain, a gloomy atmosphere immediately surrounded it. It seems that all similar temples or palaces, as long as they were built long enough, will be infected with this gloomy atmosphere. Although it is not harmful, ordinary people
Living in it, it is inevitable to feel depressed and uncomfortable.
Moriarty carefully observed the structure and layout of the ancient palace. Although its interior decoration was old and damaged in many places, it still looked impressive overall. Especially once entering the nearly 100-meter-long palace, it was really impressive.
Excavated into the cliff, one can imagine the huge amount of engineering work at that time, and it still makes people admire it without realizing it.
In the center of the hall, stands a huge black stone statue, about five meters high. It looks like a beautiful but gloomy harpy witch. It wears a spiked crown and holds a bone staff. In addition to its huge size
, the details of the statue are all meticulous, and it can be said to be lifelike. Moreover, the stone statue seems to be stationary, but Moriarty feels some kind of huge power hidden deep inside. If he is not mistaken, this should be a
Magic puppet, and its level is quite high.
"This is the statue of Lord Lorelei. What, isn't it shocking?"
Seeing Moriarty stopping in front of the stone statue and staring for a long time, Lina smiled and said, her tone full of pride and admiration. The only hero of the harpy tribe in thousands of years, of course, is the supreme idol of all subsequent harpies.
"It's indeed quite extraordinary." Moriarty nodded, but refused to comment further and continued on his way.
Behind the 100-meter hall, there is a very steep upward corridor. At the end of the corridor, there is a little light, and it seems that there is another cave.
"Do you need help?"
Most of the priests were in frail health, so the Harpy sisters asked them "considerately" if they needed lifting services. However, Moriarty didn't seem to have much contact with the two gorgeous sisters, so she shook her head and climbed up on her own.
.As for the ungratefulness of the human mage, Lina's eyes flashed with gloom and anger.
Controlling the progress, it took about ten minutes to finally climb the corridor and reach the top. Sure enough, beyond the corridor, we have reached the rooftop of another mountain. And we have been waiting for a long time to see the human mage climbing up by himself.
The old harpy woman was also a little surprised.
"Okay, here's what I need your help with."
After the other party took a breath, the old harpy woman took Moriarty to one side of the rooftop. There, a bud-shaped altar made of clear sapphire was emitting a hazy light, looking exquisite and eye-catching.
.And at the inner core of the altar, a long dark feather settled inside the sapphire, motionless, as if floating quietly in a piece of blue sea water. And the faint black feather and the brilliance of the sapphire set off each other, making it even more beautiful.
It seems mysterious and unpredictable.
"This altar was left by Lord Basilei five hundred years ago. Your task is to open it and take out the feather." Pointing to the sapphire altar, the old harpy woman said directly: "You have an hour.
time."
"An hour?" Moriarty glanced at the other person and asked.
"Only one hour." The old harpy woman nodded matter-of-factly: "If you can't come up with a solution within this time, even if you give it more time, it will just be a waste. After all, enchantment often relies on talent and inspiration.
"
"What you say is not unreasonable." Moriarty nodded without caring about the strict time limit given by the other party. It seems that besides being a harpy witch, this Loris does not know anything about alchemy.
As it is said, cracking alchemy mechanisms and magic circles is often likened to math problems, and relies heavily on intuition and inspiration. Unless you already know the type attributes of the magic circles in the mechanism, and then use clumsy methods to slowly try to crack it, otherwise
It just takes luck and a flash of inspiration.
"Haha, if you can't finish it within an hour, you will be useless. At that time, I can dig out your heart and have a taste." Seeing the human mage's unusually calm look, and remembering the irritation of being rejected just now, Ying
Sister Shen began to threaten her.
"If you can be quieter, I will be more confident." Looking at the noisy two sisters, Moriarty nodded. Anyway, even if the altar is opened and the feathers are taken out, the other party will definitely kill and silence them. So Lina's
Threats sounded like nothing more than nonsense.
"you!"
The Harpy sisters were about to say anything more, but were stopped by Luo Lisi. In any case, opening the altar is the most important thing now. Other matters can be resolved in an hour. In this regard, the two sisters could only step aside angrily.
.
Timing begins.
Moriarty first came to the sapphire altar and took a closer look. Sure enough, this is also a rare magic item. It looks like it is carved from a single piece of rare huge sapphire and is seamless, but in fact it is spliced and assembled by magical power.
. However, it is a heroic method, and even with Moriarty's eyesight, there are no traces or clues in it. It can be said to be a work of art.
On the core of the flower bud altar, there is a special setting like a puzzle, embedded in it. However, the hundreds of movable mithril pieces are not painted with any color patterns, but each one with a complex structure.
Weird writing. Fortunately, Moriarty had studied the written languages of various races and recognized that it was the unique writing of the Negon harpy race.
Obviously, this is the password lock of the Sapphire Altar. If you want to open the altar and get the black feather, you need to enter specific words to unlock it. Otherwise, the only way to crack it is by brute force.
"How many passwords have you tried?" Moriarty turned his head and asked the old harpy first.
"In five hundred years, we have tried every word and phrase we can think of." Luo Lisi said coldly but with helplessness.
"kindness."
Moriarty nodded and said nothing more. Thinking about it, the other party must have tried a large number of passwords for a long time, but unfortunately none of them were successful. So he can also eliminate the possibility of accidentally entering the password, which is obviously too unfair.
Reality.
After observing carefully for about half an hour, Moriarty suddenly pulled out a dagger and slashed straight at the altar, while summoning magic arrows to attack it. However, both physical and magical attacks were blocked by some kind of force before they touched the altar.
Once it's down, it won't hurt the sapphire flower buds at all.
However, while being attacked, a trace of bright and thin threads finally emerged from inside the altar. Although it quickly disappeared, it was obviously the route structure driven by its internal magic power.
"Haha, I told you not to waste your time. If we could break through it, we would have taken action long ago. Do we still need to recruit you?" Seeing that Moriarty failed to attack the altar, the Harpy sisters who waited on the side finally endured it.
He couldn't help but sneer again.
"If you really want to open the altar with external force, you will need at least the power of the extreme, but it will also probably destroy the things inside. So we don't take this method." At this time, the old harpy woman also said.
However, Moriarty ignored what was said by Luo Lisi or the two sisters. Instead, he focused on looking at the sapphire altar, while carefully recalling the position and arrangement of the crystalline threads that had just appeared in front of him.
.
"An anti-magic force field and a force field, nested inside each other, with built-in drive core and unknown energy source."
About a quarter of an hour later, Moriarty finally found out some secrets and clues about the Sapphire Altar from the virtual crack in his mind.
It is worthy of a hero's method. Using an anti-magic stance and a force field spell on a magic item at the same time is equivalent to restraining physical and magical attacks at the same time. It is really invulnerable. And if the power used by the cracker exceeds a certain limit, although it can
It can break through the anti-magic and force field defense of the altar itself, but it will also directly destroy the items in the altar, which is not worth the gain.
"It seems that the only way to open the altar is to enter the password." After pondering for another ten minutes, Moriarty finally shook his head helplessly.
"I want to remind you that you don't have much time."
Seeing that the human mage had not made any move for a long time, Luo Lis couldn't help but flashing disappointment in her eyes, and at the same time she became fierce again. And after hearing the words of the harpy old woman, the two sisters also smiled evilly and ordered the harpy throwers around them to get ready.
.Even if the opponent is a mid-level mage, but being surrounded by so many warriors, and with a high-level witch like Luo Lisi sitting beside him, he must have no choice but to sit back and wait for death.
"I can find the password."
Putting one hand on the sapphire altar and looking at the old harpy woman, Moriarty suddenly smiled and said. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
