"Go, go over?" Kai couldn't help but said, "Go over? Go over under the eyes of the guard?!"
"Whose prank is this?" Ivan couldn't help but question.
"No, this is ------" Bedivere smiled and boldly walked out of the shadows.
"Are you crazy? Come back quickly!" Kai shouted in a low voice.
It’s too late! There are guards at the corner ahead. Bedi should have been discovered by the guards!
However, the guards didn't respond at all.
It was like completely ignoring the existence of Bedivere. Even though the werewolf boy was pacing back and forth in front of them and making poses, the guards did not react at all.
"What's going on?" Kai asked with a confused look on his face.
"It doesn't matter, just hurry up and follow." Bedivere said with a smile, "The guards probably won't cause us any trouble."
Everyone walked out doubtfully, and then followed Bedivere to the door.
The five people swaggered over, opened the door, and entered the underground passage. The guards were like a group of deaf and blind men, ignoring this group of uninvited guests.
"What's going on? I don't understand?" Yi Wen became more and more confused.
"You'll understand soon. Come on, hurry up," Bedivere said.
Everyone continued to trot forward for a while. Not far away, another snow butterfly flew over and landed on the wall to make an arrow mark, which seemed to indicate to everyone to go in the direction of the arrow.
After walking a few steps, there was a door ahead. The guards seemed blind and indifferent to Arthur and his party.
I kept running like this, guided by the snow butterfly signposts, and not long after I arrived at a room deep underground.
"Please come in." Two big characters made of frost appeared in front of the door.
"Could it be a trap?" Kai said.
"Is it necessary to go around such a big circle to set a trap for us?" Bedivere pushed the door open without hesitation.
There was no one in the dark room.
Bedi took a few steps forward in confusion.
Suddenly a figure rushed out and pounced on the werewolf boy, "Are you surprised?!"
"I'm not surprised at all." Bedivere said with a smile, "There is a faint scent of yours on the snow butterfly, so I knew it was you."
"Long time no see, Tristan," Bedi said.
"Haha, long time no see, Bedi." The fishman prince said with a silly smile, while observing the new faces in the team with hostility.
"Why are you here?" Arthur asked.
"I can predict the future." Tristan smiled mysteriously.
"Stop bragging, is it because someone told you?" Kai said.
"Hmph, okay. You are right." Tristan said, "I originally handed the trident back to the Queen Mother, and I planned to come back to Pantoraken to find you right away. However, the Queen Mother heard about the internal situation in Pantoraken.
I started to feel uneasy, so I was ordered to return to Iceland. I managed to sneak out of the return ship.
Later, when I was hiding around, I met a strange old man. He said that as long as I wait in this underground library, I will meet you."
"Sure enough, it's dad who's up to something again." Kai said. Sir Acto is such a great guy, isn't he?
"Maybe. But, he did help a lot." Arthur thought, "Did you hypnotize those guards?"
"It took me a whole month," Tristan said. "I entered the library from early in the morning and stayed until it closed at night, constantly releasing photons for hypnosis. The guard here accepted a
A very simple order: [As long as you are passing by with me or with Bediwell, treat it as if you haven’t seen it]. You can come to this place with such arrogance, thank me!"
"Well, good job." Arthur asked, "But?"
"You also guessed that there is a 'but'." Tristan smacked his lips, "Well, there are still a few defense captains with very strong willpower. I can't hypnotize them. That's why I asked you to take a detour. The biggest one
The problem is that the Black History Library requires the identity verification of at least two guard captains before entering."
"Great, so we still can't get into the library," Kai spat.
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a way." Tristan pointed to the corner by the wall and said, "Do you think it's meaningless for me to lure you into this room?"
"You don't have much time, so don't show off." Arthur said coldly.
"Okay, let's watch." Ivan waved his hand, and a hole appeared out of thin air in the wall of the room.
"This is the tunnel I dug secretly two days ago. I then sealed it with ice modeling techniques and reproduced the texture*, so that no one could notice it."
(*Note: As long as high-level ice magicians carefully control the ice surface, they can use the extremely fine uneven surfaces on the ice surface to produce the refraction of light and reproduce any material they want, including color and texture. Ordinary people
If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell the difference.)
"When did your kid know how to use so many advanced magics?" Kai couldn't help but ask.
"I stayed in the upper floor of this library for a full month, hypnotizing the guards and reading books to pass the time. I studied hard from morning to night. Of course, unlike you guys who don't seek advancement and only know how to fight,
There will be a gap!" Tristan said proudly.
"I know, let's talk about the bad things later." Arthur said indifferently, "Can you reach the underground by climbing in from here?"
"Not exactly, there is a protective barrier that cannot be broken through. But, I guess you can always do something, right?" Tristan said sarcastically.
"Lianyin?"
"If you are actually close to the barrier, it is possible to open a gap in the barrier that is large enough for people to pass through." Lianyin replied, "It depends on the strength and regeneration speed of the barrier."
"That's it, you go ahead." Arthur ordered, "It's up to you to decide how to break the barrier."
"Understood." Lianyin walked ahead and entered the tunnel.
"Humph, you didn't even say thank you?" Tristan said dissatisfied.
"If you don't plan to follow me, I'll leave you alone, thank you." Arthur said as he walked.
In the dark tunnel, there was only a faint light from the lighting magic ball released by Lianyin, and everyone could only barely grope the stone walls to move forward.
"How long is this tunnel?" Kai touched the slippery stone wall of the tunnel and asked.
"I don't know. It was dug by the familiar I released. It kept digging for two days and two nights. It must have been very long." Tristan said.
"Lower the volume of your conversation," Arthur said.
"So," Tristan asked, "it seems like you've had a lot of adventures. What happened to your hand, Betty?"
"Being burned as part of the [price]." Bedivere whispered. He briefly recounted what happened after he and Tristan parted.
"Oh, really. I'm sorry, I don't know about your brother------"
"It doesn't matter anymore." The werewolf boy pretended to be nonchalant and said, "My brother finally told me to protect the last key and live well. Continuing to be depressed is not an option. I can only cheer up and move forward."
"
"You are so optimistic. If my mother died, I might be depressed for decades." Tristan said, "I can't be as strong as you."
(Strong? That’s not what strong is.)
(It’s just that there is one last chance.)
(This time, I must protect you.)
(I have already lost my brother. I have...cannot lose any more.)
Lianyin came to the barrier and put her hand on the barrier.
"Is that possible?" Arthur asked.
"There is no alarm command, just a simple defensive barrier." Lianyin explained, "This is exactly where the photon distribution is weak. As long as you use interference magic, you can open a small gap."
"Let's do it," Arthur said.
"Leave the weak point of the barrier in the wall? You probably didn't expect anyone to dig a hole in the ground to sneak in, right?" Kai mocked.
"It was not easy to dig a hole from a place like that." Ivan explained.
"Really? I am indeed a genius, hahahaha." Tristan said with a smile.
"There's still a little left, dig it out, genius." Arthur said.
"Hmph." Tristan summoned a small familiar.
"Mole?" Kai asked comically.
"Ice mole." Tristan said, "a small animal that digs holes and builds nests in the eternal ice wall as hard as diamond. A birthday gift from my mother on my tenth birthday."
"No need to explain, hurry up and work." Arthur said impatiently.
"That's a lot to ask for, why don't you dig it?" Tristan put the ice mole on the ground and muttered a few words, and the mole immediately dug forward. The little thing's diamond-hard claws were very effective in digging.
It is highly efficient and can instantly compress and pile the excavated soil around to form a tunnel that is as hard as diamond and has no risk of collapse.
"Bedy, when is your birthday?" Tristan asked with a smile, "I will give you a gift on your birthday that you will definitely like."
"Well, birthday?" Bedivere thought for a while, but suddenly he felt sad, "I'm sorry, I can't remember."
"Can't remember?" Tristan asked in surprise, "How long has it been since you celebrated your birthday? Poor Bedi."
"No, it's not what you think." Bediwell lied to smooth things over, "Our people don't have the habit of celebrating birthdays, haha."
Arthur glanced at Bedivere and said nothing.
The tunnel was dug out quickly, and there was a wall in front of it. Ivan walked over and observed it, "There are no guards nearby, so making a little noise won't be a problem."
"Then------" Kai finally found an opportunity to take action, and Kai smashed the wall with one punch!
"Boom!" Bricks were scattered on the floor, and in front of him was a storage room.
"Are you crazy!? I told you to 'make a little noise', not to 'make a loud noise'!" Ivan cursed hurriedly.
"Did the guards respond?"
Yi Wen observed attentively: "Well------not really."
"That's fine, what are you nagging about?" Kai said.
Everyone cast disgusted looks at Kai.
"Okay, let's start searching the library now." Arthur said, "Bedivere, Lianyin and Kai are responsible for searching the library on the east side. I, Tristan and Ivan are responsible for searching the library on the west side."
"Wait a minute, why are Bedi and I separated? I want to be in the same group as Bedi!" Tristan protested.
"Because Bedivere is responsible for guarding. Although he is not as good as Ivan, his hearing is the only one that can be used for guarding to prevent being discovered by the guards." Arthur explained, "When you are with him, you will definitely talk non-stop.
Affecting his vigilance work."
"Tch, we haven't seen each other for so long, so of course I have a lot to say! You're such a wooden head, you're so unreasonable." Tristan said.
"Don't do this, Tristan." Bedivere stopped.
"This machine can release warning barrier magic. As long as someone enters the range, they can be informed immediately." Lianyin said.
"See, then there will be no problem." Tristan sneered.
"Tsk. Lianyin, don't indulge this kid?" Kai said.
"The master's order includes the clause 'make Bedivere happy'. This machine judges that doing so will make Bedivere happy," Lianyin said without emotion.
(*Note: refers to Mogou silk.)
"Thank you...Thank you, Lianyin." Bedivere said with a blushing face.
"Huhu." Tristan on the side snickered.
"There's really nothing I can do against you, forget it." Arthur said, "Then I, Kai, and Ivan will form a group. Bedi, Tristan, and Lianyin will form a group. We will meet here in five hours. Let's start splitting up now. Still.
Yes, you two little idiots, don’t just chat! Search for information carefully for me!"
"What should I start with?" Bedivere asked.
"What I care more about is ancient civilization, especially what happened in the [Lost Thousand Years]. How should I put it... Just try to find the oldest books."
"If you find it, don't open it and read it." Ivan said on the side, "You can't see the traces of magic like me. Some books have been cast with trap magic. Opening them casually may cause you injury or even death."
If you have to look at it, you have to let Lianyin use detection magic to check it clearly."
"I know, it's so verbose!" Tristan pulled Bedivere, "Let's go!"
