Chapter 1,700 Bruce Wayne and the Philosopher's Stone (16)
Unsurprisingly, the door to the room had been blown down. After Harley rushed in excitedly, little Bruce looked back at the locked door handle. The lock hanging on it was very ordinary, just like a yard door.
The kind of metal lock hanging on the iron door on the exterior wall looks like it needs a suitable key.
But the door wasn't even made of steel, it was just a wooden door common in castles. Little Bruce had no doubt that a trained agent could break the door open with a few hits with all his strength.
This gave little Bruce an idea of the difficulty of this trial.
The dryad in the first level seems very dangerous, but it actually has too many weaknesses. He will only attack those who want to break in without the key. In other words, as long as you can find the key, you can skip the level, and it seems that the key should be hidden in
There is a place in the school where the process of getting a key is not dangerous.
Either use strength to defeat cleverness and find something to knock the door open, or simply use explosives to blow the door open like Harley, or respond with flexibility and agility, taking advantage of the child's smaller size to slip under the dryad's arm.
, lure him to attack the wooden door, and still break the door open.
Just as little Bruce was thinking and walking into the house, he heard Barry exclaim. Turning around, Barry grabbed the somewhat excited Harley and said, "Take your box of explosives."
Stay away, this place is full of glassware, if it blows up, it’s over!”
Little Bruce stepped through the remains of the wooden door and walked into the room, and then he found that it was a room full of bottles and cans.
The four walls are embedded with tall shelves reaching to the ceiling. On the shelves are neatly placed glass jars of different heights. Some are wide-mouth bottles, some are narrow-mouth bottles, some are like round-bottomed flasks, and some are more similar to small basins.
, but in short, the materials are all delicate and fragile glass.
Little Bruce rushed forward and grabbed Harley's other arm to stop her from firing the grenade, because there was no second door in this room except the one they entered.
"What if there is something behind the wall?" Harley said unwillingly.
"What if not?" Barry held her tightly to prevent this crazy girl, who was particularly excited because of the violent explosion just now, from destroying everything in the room with explosives.
"It seems like this is a puzzle." Little Bruce looked up and looked around at the glassware on the wall, and said: "Someone has already thought that you would use explosives to break in. If you really make a mess here, the door
Maybe it will never be opened."
"Is this why you had to let me put those plants in glass jars?" Pamela behind the screen turned to look at Schiller and said: "You guessed that some of them must want to resort to violence, and you
Not expecting them to crack every level this way."
"I hope to save the school some funds for repairing the building." Schiller shook his head slightly and said: "Let a real Gotham lunatic bomb here, and we have the world's richest man. It's not enough to compensate.
."
"In fact, it's enough." Bruce said, but he quickly shook his head and said, "It's just that the elves in the Maya world need to rest, otherwise they will die of exhaustion."
"So what is this mystery?" Constantine asked: "Do they need to identify the nature of these plants?"
"Yes, and the rest is just a simple arrangement puzzle." Pamela nodded and said calmly: "It's all the knowledge I taught in class. As long as one person listens carefully, it will be solved."
It can be done.”
"It looks like a puzzle of arrangement and classification." Little Bruce said after looking at the glass jars on all the shelves on the four walls: "If I remember correctly, the plants in the whole room should be divided into
The four categories are magic potion raw materials, alchemical catalyst raw materials, ritual raw materials and non-reactive raw materials."
"I remember it was taught in the Magical Botany class." Barry touched his cheek, looked around, and then said: "But it was never taught about so many kinds of plants. I don't know most of them.
It was mentioned in the grade class."
He turned to look at Harley. Harley blinked, walked past the four walls, and then said: "About half of these plants were taught in class, and the other half were not covered."
"But we can deduce it." Little Bruce sighed softly and said, "Professor Pamela once mentioned in class that plants growing in a certain world have similar attributes and appearance, and can be regarded as a
Plants of the genus.”
"Based on the appearance, color and magic power of the plants, we can also see their approximate effects. Let's take down the bottle first."
There were two ladders placed in the corner of the room. It was obviously convenient for the students who came here to take down all the jars for inspection. The three of them took down all the glass jars from the shelves and put them on the ground. Harley began
Give them a preliminary classification.
Harry was in a higher grade and took more classes. The Magical Botany class took nearly two months to teach students to identify plants that often appear in the magical world and understand their effects. Harley put all her
Once all the plants you know are classified, the next step is very simple.
When all plants whose attributes can be determined are placed together according to the four categories, anyone can see the similarities between them.
Potion raw materials are usually closer to the stems of herbal plants. For example, the spiral grass that Barry and the others saw in their first class is one of the most typical potion raw materials. It is soft and small, and the magic light is not strong.
Alchemy catalyst raw materials usually have extremely strong magical properties, with magical light filling the entire bottle. Most of the manifestations are flowers and soft leaves, and their appearance is more similar to ordinary plants in the non-magical world.
The shapes of the ritual materials are extremely weird, either like dry fingers, eyeballs or animal claws, and often have tumors and pustules on the outside, just like the kind of plants that appear in dark swamps in horror novels.
Non-reactive raw materials refer to plants that do not react with anything produced by any of the above plants. They can be used to make containers, stir sticks and other utensils that are in frequent contact with medicinal solutions. Naturally, most of them are woody plants.
Cut into pieces or branches that are hard enough, dry, and dark in color.
"There is only one question left." Harley looked down at the divided bottles and jars and said: "Which wall should the four plants be placed on?"
"The smallest number must be placed on the wall with the door, because that wall has the smallest number of shelves." Barry suggested.
Little Bruce snorted coldly and said, "It's rare for your brain to turn around."
Among the four materials, the smallest quantity was the non-reactive material, so the three of them used a ladder to place this part of the plant on the wall near the door. After placing it, Barry exhaled, looked at Harley and said, "It's still there.
It's a good thing you didn't blow up the shelves on this wall, otherwise we would have failed before we even started."
Harley showed a smile, shook her head and said, "It's not that simple. Apparently there is another solution to the puzzle in this room."
Harry folded his arms, looked back at the bottles and jars on the ground, and said, "If I guess correctly, some of the plant raw materials here can be combined into a special medicinal liquid. This kind of
The potion should also be able to make the exit visible."
"But the risk is very high." Little Bruce said: "Because you don't know if the ingredients in the bottle can go back into the bottle and trigger the puzzle arrangement after pouring them out, so if there is no clue at all,
Or the shelf is damaged, there is no need for us to use this method."
Harley nodded and said: "Although I do like to make a big noise, I am not unreasonable. I guessed that there might be something important in the room, so I deliberately avoided the wall when I threw the grenade.
It worked. If we refine the medicine here, all of our clothes will be stained with a strange smell."
After saying that, the three of them began to study the remaining three walls, and then Harley found a rune in the bottom corner of each shelf. There was no puzzle to solve. The meaning of the rune was the type of plant.
.
After spending a little more time putting all the bottles and jars into categories, a magical light burst out from the center of the floor. A door slowly opened, revealing a dark tunnel below, with no way to see where it led.
"Well, it seems that I can't take all my big babies down." Harley glanced at her cart of ammunition with some pity, and said, "Not sure how deep it is.
, you can’t just dump this thing all at once. Once the safety is triggered, it will explode one after another. It would be a pity if it breaks.”
Harley picked out three pistols from the cart, handed two of them to the other two, took out a few grenades and put them in his pocket, and finally took a shotgun and carried it on his back.
, shaking his head towards the door in the center of the floor.
Little Bruce glanced down, but at this moment Barry said: "I'll jump first. If there is any danger below, I can give you an early warning."
Little Bruce opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute, but Barry interrupted him and said: "At least you are right about one thing. Your two brains are precious treasures, and it would not be good if they were broken."
Barry jumped directly, and Harley showed a slightly nervous smile to little Bruce and said: "That's what these idiots are like, right? They always feel guilty for not being able to contribute to the team, soft and hard, like
A sponge full of tears."
"I reserve my opinion. They are like stones, hard, stupid, and can do nothing. It's just that Mr. Allen has just washed up on the river beach, and he doesn't know that he will continue to be so stubborn in his life until he becomes
Just as annoying as those stubborn adults."
After saying that, little Bruce also jumped down. Harley shrugged, glanced at the empty air, and then said, "I don't know who will eventually become a stubborn adult."
When Harley's figure also disappeared through the door on the floor, Constantine looked at Bruce with a smile and said: "Yes, who is it? I agree with both hands that it is definitely not Batman."
Bruce turned to look at Schiller, who tilted his head slightly to look at Bruce and said, "But too many fantastic ideas may not necessarily be better."
"Some people's whims and whims are easy to see, while others always carry out their thoughts silently. No one can see where the happiness lies except yourself, right? Professor?"
