The entire iron box has a simple shape, with no other decorations except the blood-black pattern on the lid. The four sides have sharp edges and corners, and the lines are rough and hard. The protection measures are correspondingly simple. There is only a large lock to lock the box firmly.
Du Lan tried to fiddle with various lock-picking tools, but the result was that the big lock did not move at all, and the mechanism inside did not look like it was rusty.
"My lock picking skills need to be improved."
Duran scratched his head helplessly. He took a deep breath and recalled in his mind the relevant knowledge he had learned when receiving lockpicking training at the Thieves Training Base in the Tower of Shadows. There was no doubt that the lock in front of him was not from
The odd-shaped lock designed by a skilled craftsman is just an ordinary lock. The trick to unlocking the lock is to fiddle with the inner mechanism of the lock. This technique actually requires the support of experience and technology, and Duran is not good at it.
Fortunately, he was not helpless. In the shadow thief training base, he also obtained some sharp tools to deal with ordinary locks.
That is [Temporary Unlock Scroll].
Facing the temptation of the Blood Crow runes on the iron box, Duran took out the small stack of thin scrolls from the prop box without hesitation. There were eight of these scrolls in total. Unlike other magic scrolls, they were much thinner.
.Dulan took out a piece, spread it flat in the palm of his hand, and read out the syllables marked on the scroll word by word under the light of the fire.
The temporary unlocking scroll is actually a thin piece of paper with a simple-looking key drawn on it, and the corresponding runes for opening the scroll are in the lower right corner. These scrolls are obviously from the hands of Raven King, the Lord of Shadows.
The previous owner of the tower had reached a peak level in both magic and lock-picking skills. Combining the two was a pioneering work across the ages. At least Duran had never heard of any thief other than Raven King.
Guilds or master thieves will use scrolls to open locks.
According to the inherited knowledge of the shadow thieves, they divide locks into two types. One is ordinary locks, which include widely spread and far-reaching types of locks that have been popular in various eras; and the other is odd-shaped locks. This kind of locks
Generally, they are carefully designed by masters and have specific uses. Odd-shaped locks often have unreplicable and unique characteristics.
There is no doubt that in terms of difficulty, odd-shaped locks are much more difficult than ordinary locks. Thieves who open ordinary locks have their own certain patterns and rules. Basically, they can solve the problem if they follow the rules and have rich experience.
Faced with odd-shaped locks, even the most powerful thieves may be very easy to defeat. The latter requires extremely high insight and a lot of luck to open.
Ordinary locks are divided into three levels according to the difficulty level. Among them, the first-level lock is the simplest, and most of them are locks designed with simple principles such as telescopic mechanism and spring pull. This type of lock is very difficult for thieves to
For us, they can basically turn a blind eye, and even Duran can barely cope with it; while the second-level lock is relatively difficult. On the basis of the first-level lock, the second-level ordinary lock adds a lot of detours and circuitous designs. Only
Only experienced thieves can easily control it. As for the third-level lock, even though it is not as complicated and weird as the odd-shaped lock, it is not far behind in terms of difficulty.
Generally speaking, when encountering a first-level lock, Duran would test his technical skills; a second-level lock would be enough to frustrate him, and for a third-level lock, he would not even be interested in trying.
Fortunately, the temporary lock-picking scroll obtained from the Tower of Shadows is enough to handle all locks below the second-level lock, which makes Duran a lot easier.
As Du Lan's spell fell slowly, the scroll suddenly floated slightly, and its surroundings rolled up slightly, as if an invisible hand was holding it up. On the yellowed parchment, starting from the upper left corner
It burned automatically, and the slight firelight did not scatter everywhere like a candle or a match - on the contrary, the firelight condensed together, forming a vague yellowish beam.
The beam of light hit the hole in the lock, like a flexible snake, seeping into the hole.
Seeing this scene, Duran took half a step back, and then hid to the right, almost touching himself with the shelf on the right.
The beam lasted for a full twenty seconds, and by this time, the rest of the parchment, except for the simple key drawn in the middle, had been burned away, and countless complex runes emerged from the key.
Not long after, there was a popping sound, and in the blazing flames, the key suddenly stood up from the plane, as if it suddenly had spirituality.
The key is transparent, with a color between purple and pink. Invisibly, it seems as if a hand is holding the key and inserting it into the hole of the iron box.
"What a magical lock-picking tool!" Du Lan couldn't help but secretly praise Rui Wenjin's miraculous skills.
The purple key was inserted into the hole and turned slightly. A mechanical sound of clicking came from the box, and the lock opened.
The simple iron box suddenly popped open, and three lines of cold arrows shot out directly from the box and penetrated deeply into the wall beside it.
Dulan shrugged. Sure enough, he was sailing the ship with care. The old blacksmith Biyombo was also vicious enough to install such a mechanism in the iron box. But having said that, he might not be the one who set up the mechanism.
, but at least the dwarves would not design such an insidious mechanism that does not fit their style.
"Only humans have such vicious thoughts and the ability and skills to put them into practice..."
Du Lan saw that there was no movement for a long time after the iron box was opened, so he cautiously approached it.
After completing the unlocking, the transparent key had long since disappeared, and what caught Dulan's eyes was a large handful of straw and wheat straw.
Not being deceived by the cover of appearance, he stretched out his left hand and fiddled with the box a few times, and sure enough he touched something. Dulan's heart moved and he tried to pick up the thing. Who knew that at this moment, the straws suddenly
Start burning!
The flames seemed to have spirituality and rushed toward Dulan's hands with great ferocity. Unfortunately, the designer of this magic mechanism was probably disappointed because these flames had no effect on Dulan.
[Terrible Gloves] itself has the effect of immunity from fire, not to mention the innate attributes of Duran Flame King, and the mere flame trap cannot harm him at all.
After the straw burned away, the true appearance in the iron box was revealed.
This is a stunning piece of armor!
The patterns on the armor were very complicated and exquisite, almost like a work of art. Duran took a breath, and couldn't wait to take off his gloves and touch them with his own hands.
The cold touch was as expected. He couldn't put it down and stroked every joint of the armor, the ecstasy in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
The entire set of armor consists of upper and lower body armor, which can be flexibly disassembled and combined. From the perspective of defense area, this is undoubtedly a knight's heavy armor - from the face protection to the throat and vital limbs, everything is covered within the protection range. But in terms of materials
, even Dulan's knowledge could not identify it.
"It's so light...even I can wear it easily, right?" Just when Duran was doubting the practicality of this too gorgeous armor, a terrifying roar sounded in his ears:
"Who is it?!"
"Awakened the sleeping dragon?!"
"Despicable Yu Jinren! Remove your dirty hands from the Time Armor immediately!"
(A carefully designed key clue has finally been opened. Duran will quickly become stronger and the story will become more interesting! There will be an update soon, remember to vote~)
