Looking at the direction in which the stone was thrown, Xifa stood there for a long time without moving.
If my guess is correct...
It's not easy to get used to moving here, because the visual space and the actual space may be misaligned...
But for now, the space and vision on the main road are unified.
Xifa relied on the red and yellow light of the magma flowing slowly down from both sides, and at the same time felt the difference in space with his heart, and explored forward unhurriedly.
Da da da--
Walking on the stone road covered with a layer of gray-black corrosion, the stone slabs made a shattering sound because they could not bear Xifa's weight.
There was a sense of relief from crushing cookies, Xifa thought happily in his heart.
There is a cave in the cave. After a quick look, Xifa concluded in his heart that there was a complex maze of stairs and forks in the cave, rather than a simple tunnel leading straight into the cave.
But the truth soon came to light.
Under the guidance of the burning torch, Xifa only walked a dozen steps in it and then turned a corner, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
In just a few steps, I passed through the thick volcanic mountain and arrived at the jet channel in the middle of the volcano?
and...
Xifa watched the scene in front of him silently.
A suspended bridge is tightly attached to the wall, spiraling upward layer by layer in a clockwise direction.
Below is bright yellow magma.
They rolled and galloped, splashing sparks from time to time.
The slap in the face came so quickly, and there was only one one-way street.
With reluctance, Xifa took out the card and shook it, trying to let the card break through the fog and let him see the real path.
However, there is no response from the card.
There is only one way, and the card doesn't guide you, so you should climb up, right?
You can't walk into the magma below. In that case, you can just jump down and do nothing with the stairs.
After shaking it several times in succession, Xifa sighed and stuffed the motionless card into his arms.
Lowering his hand to touch the hilt of the sword, Xifa hesitated for a while and decided to hold the magic revolver.
After all, I can't throw the Sword of Gryffindor, so the pistol is my best way to fight the enemy from a distance.
After organizing his equipment, Xifa stepped on the suspended bridge and climbed up carefully.
The suspended bridge goes up in a circle, and every few steps, there are flames emitting a faint red light.
When he got closer, Xifa carefully observed these flaming torches or braziers. They did not burn fuel, but were the effects of magic.
Theoretically, as long as the magic here is not extinguished and these appliances are not damaged, the fire will last forever.
Probably because it was in disrepair, when Xifa walked by, fist-sized stones fell from time to time from this suspended bridge built close to the stone wall.
The rolling magma that fell below did not produce any water.
So at the very beginning, Xifa silently put on air shoes and floating gloves.
Obviously, if you look up, you will find that about ten meters above you are the bottom of the stairs to the upper floor.
Not to mention these auxiliary magic devices, Xifa can easily jump up just because of his own physical fitness.
However, Xifa still walked along the stairs step by step.
As mentioned at the beginning, the space here is visually misaligned with reality.
The remains of the giant dragon were squeezed out of its remaining magic power, and then the passage through which Xifa came here from the space where the platform was located was constructed.
And the stone that I threw out touched the boundary of the space here. It might have been reduced to nothing by the turbulent flow of space, or it might have been transported to a strange place.
Without personal experience, Xifa couldn't be sure what happened to that stone.
But what is certain is that the stone did not draw a perfect arc and fall on the platform as observed with the naked eye.
This is enough.
I was smart and took a shortcut. I was lucky and got stuck in the space mezzanine. I was unlucky and died on the spot.
Now that there are stairs, it doesn't look dangerous, so why not just follow the routine?
Thinking of this, Xifa recalled an interesting analogy from his previous life, providing a chuckle in the lonely cave.
Now I am like the protagonist of a half-finished open world, the map has just been completed without the air wall.
Walking on the main road is fine, but there are always weird map bugs in the corners.
The game can be restarted, but you only have one life...
Thinking of this, Xifa put away his smile and concentrated on sensing whether there was anything strange in the space in front of him.
In this way, I moved forward step by step, and when I walked around in a circle, I came to the top of the starting position.
A hidden stone door suddenly appeared in front of Xifa.
Xifa blinked and quickly stepped back a stone brick. The stone door disappeared instantly, and the stairs ahead were still in front of him.
He took another tentative step forward, and the stone door appeared again.
Tsk, my guess was correct. If I were smart enough to go straight up and down, I would probably be teleported to a strange place.
Realizing that the space in front of him was stable, Xifa quickly stepped forward and came to the gate to observe carefully.
Even though it is just a gray stone door, the complexity of the magic patterns and the strength of the protection are far greater than those of Gringotts.
only...
Xifa slowly stretched out his hand and gently turned the door handle. At the same time, he put away his pistol and drew out the Sword of Gryffindor.
The protective means on this door and the binding magic pattern are all aimed at the existence behind the door. You in front of the door only need to twist the door handle to open the door.
By the way, is it possible to prevent people who enter from coming out?
When the stone door behind him closed with a click, Xifa realized that there was no threat behind the door for the time being, so he muttered in hindsight.
There was an empty secret room in front of him. At a glance, he didn't see any other activities or the stone door behind him.
It looked like he was trapped in a secret room.
However, Xifa did not panic, not to mention that as long as it took time, the stone door behind him could be broken open by himself with the Sword of Gryffindor.
The hidden stone door may only appear if you stand in front of it.
Xifa stepped forward and walked down the three steps with vigilance.
When his feet landed on the bluestone indoors at the same time.
The picture in front of me is like a canvas panel being peeled off, revealing the original picture below.
There were four guards wearing silver-white majestic steel armor, standing on the left and right. They were holding a life-size giant sword with both hands, and the sword tip was downward, inserted between their feet.
The top of the room was not completely dark, but a large hole was suddenly opened, allowing the dazzling light from outside to enter the room.
The walls were also stripped layer by layer, with supporting stone pillars and waterfall-like lava flows leaking out.
At the end of the line of sight, there is a stone statue, about three meters high, humanoid, wearing a hooded cloak.
There were about four black chains wrapped around his body.
For a moment, Xifa couldn't tell whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.
Dragon Eye Xifa did not want to open it easily. If he guessed correctly, there are currently two opposing forces. The dragon side is very friendly to him, while those with an unknown aura are fighting to the death with him.
It's not that Westerners can't open Dragon Eyes, but before there are any new changes, they should collect as much information as possible here.
Ding--
The detection magic that Professor Dumbledore passed on to him acted on Xifa's eyes, causing his eyes to glow with light blue fluorescence.
The first thing that catches the eye is the overwhelming fiery red color.
That is the free element of fire.
After all, we are in a volcano crater, so it is normal for the fire element to be strong.
Outside the basketball court-sized platform at your feet, there are layers of water ripple-like textures.
Obviously, the space outside the platform is very unstable.
As for the statue located on the stone base in the center at the end.
Through the black smoke on the chain, Xifa saw an orange-red light the size of a candle on the chest of the stone statue.
Under the lick of real black smoke, there is a risk of extinguishing at any time.
The black smoke will naturally not rob the magic power for no reason.
The stolen magic power flows into the chain through the backflow of black smoke, and passes through the chain to the four armored guards!
Wait a moment!
Only then did Xifa discover that each guard had a small chain tied to his left wrist, and the chain was buried in the gap between the stone slabs behind the sword.
These steel guards officially use this little plundered magic power to neutralize the free fire magic power here, thereby maintaining their luster.
