"You mean... you just took a sip of water?"
"Yes, just a well water. Tianlai's novel WWW.'⒉"
"Then the space changed?"
"Uh...even if you ask me why this is happening, I can't possibly answer you..."
Looking at the sky, which seemed to be unchanged, the woman glanced helplessly at her innocent-looking teammates, then walked to a wooden sign dumped on the roadside with her sword in hand: "How could there be such a game... Maple Bridge? "
"This... seems to be a design drawing." The magician player's eyes still stayed on the paper held in his hands, but a subconscious explanation gradually came from his mouth: "This paper still retains magic power. That’s why it can be preserved in such an environment for such a long time, but compared with what it records, this bit of magic is nothing.”
"This is a... theoretical design drawing about space folding." He frowned and said word by word: "Using... the form of a magic array."
"What is space?" Huanhai Kuangxing scratched his face: "Can you use a language we can understand?"
"You don't even understand this?" The big man in black armor on the other side sneered disdainfully: "Isn't it enough to just take it literally? Isn't that... the situation we are encountering now?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the space of this village has been manipulated." Fengqiao Tingyu said to himself: "This end of the village and the other end of the village are connected together, so we can't go out, at least Use normal methods..."
"Everyone already knows this kind of thing." The strong man squatting on the ground raised an arm and waved it feebly: "Can you give me some constructive suggestions?"
"Flow diversion, rhombus splicing, such a ring design... Is it an illusion? No, no... it should be some kind of lock. There is a Grenilin lock here, which should be used to prevent resonance between the two energy flows. …”
"Hey, wake up." Tian Nanxing sighed again: "You are not really a person who studies magic, so don't torture everyone, okay?"
"I... need to see the prototype of that magic circle, so that I can see more things." Fengqiao Tingyu looked at it for a while, and then raised his head: "This thing... should be the ancient magic empire Many of the designs left over from the times are unheard of..."
"You don't need to study its principles, you just need to tell us... how to use it." Xueling Huanbing's voice then sounded from a corner of the road: "That's enough."
"Or just dismantle it." Huanhai Kuangxing twisted his fist: "This thing... is our goal to complete the game, right?"
"...I don't know yet." Fengqiao Tingyu put down the paper in his hand: "But...it's better not to use violence. No one knows what kind of consequences it will lead to."
"We'll talk about that kind of thing later." The woman lowered her eyes and said, "Let's confirm where this thing is first... Maple Bridge, can you find it?"
"The flow of magic is still very chaotic." The mage player shook his head again: "It should be due to the influence of this magic circle, which may cover all parts of this village..."
"Yeah, this guy is probably useless."
Sighing and saying this, Huanhai Kuangxing shook his head and turned his attention to the prisoner next to him: "Okay, little passerby, it's your turn to play again."
"Ah? What? I, I have already told you what I know..."
"this thing."
The half-armored man pointed at the page in Fengqiao Tingyu's hand and showed a stern smile: "...Where did you find it?"
"In the……"
"Speak quickly! Otherwise I will break one of your fingers!"
"Wow! Wait, wait a minute, I didn't find this thing, it was... someone from our team, he... he found it, I don't know where he found it!"
"Stop talking nonsense to me! Don't you even report where you found the things?" Huanhai Kuangxing's eyes flashed fiercely: "Do you think we are stupid?"
"Brother, please forgive me! I, I know that direction. It was the direction Mu Mu was responsible for before. I don't know anything else..."
"...Xiaowu."
"There is no change in that direction, but due to time constraints, I did not search every room." A short player named Nan Xiaowu heard the sound and replied: "If there is any change, it should be inside the house."
"Come out, let's go look for it."
Xueling Huanbing once again made the final decision: "Since we can meet them, maybe we are already in each other's space, and the ruins over there... should be a little different."
"The clues in the hands of both sides may really be different."
The same argument also appeared among the spectators watching this game outside the field. In addition to more and more players who noticed this strange game, there were also many professionals who had noticed these games in the first place. . In addition to Duan Qing, many people who focus on collecting game intelligence are also paying attention to the news of this game. The seats in front of them dedicated to Jianghu have been whispering to each other for a long time. Several people in Wizard on the side have also begun to discuss magic. According to the idea of space, Lanshan's Cangyun Barrier gathered several teammates nearby early, as if they wanted to have a meeting to discuss how they should deal with such a situation without a magician, and the second best player in the world who had just been teleported out of the game Others, at the reminder of others, turned their attention to the strange and lifeless scene on the screen. As the host, the leading players of Wings of Liberty naturally did not let go of the game in front of them, which still had no winner. However, unlike the frowning faces of several other people, a certain man's face showed a There was an inexplicable smile.
"Brother Yu, what are you laughing at?"
"Ah? Am I laughing?" Liangchen Meiyu touched her chin, then waved her hand: "You must have seen it wrong..."
"You must have laughed." A certain boy sitting next to him smiled obscenely: "Is it... the weapon in Sister Xue's hand..."
"Shh!" She hurriedly made a gesture of silence. Liangchen Meiyu looked around and then smiled again: "If you know it, don't talk nonsense. It will be bad for people in the meeting to hear..."
"Hehehehe." The man nodded to show his understanding, and then asked quietly again: "Brother Yu, how did you succeed this time?"
"Humph, it's just a little trick." Liangchen Meiyu shook her head and replied: "I didn't say it was specially given to her, I just said it was a weapon I eliminated..."
"Wow, is this okay?"
"Learn a little bit, boy, when it comes to picking up girls..."
"They're not even close yet."
At the edge of the arena, Duan Qing, who was also shaking his head, read the same sentence proudly, and then with the little girl's disdainful eyes, he waved his hand to the maid behind him: "Ninglan, teach them both a lesson. "
"Okay, sir." Ninglan from behind smiled and nodded, and then spread her right hand as if to introduce: "According to the information we saw before, the moment when the space converged, it was the Crazy Star from the Fantasy Sea holding a drink of water. At that moment, considering the doubts revealed before that well, we can basically conclude that that action was the key to the meeting between the two teams."
"So, the well is the magic circle itself." She smiled quietly: "At least it is also the center of the magic circle."
"Sister Xue should be able to see these things...right?" Mengzhu said hesitantly: "They had noticed something unusual about the well before..."
"Just because we can see it doesn't mean they can also see it." Duan Qing said in a high voice: "As the old saying goes, those who call the authorities are fans, not to mention that woman is born... ah!"
"Speak well! Don't imitate Sister Ninglan..." Withdrawing her fist from Duan Qing's abdomen, the little girl glared at the snickering red girl, and then said angrily: "And those just now were Ninglan What my sister sees is not what you see..."
"Are you doubting my IQ?" Duan Qing jumped up immediately: "You can see such an obvious thing, why can't I see it? I also know... that the phenomenon is definitely not caused by drinking. It’s coming out!”
"What are you talking about? If he didn't drink it, it could be..."
"If there is really a problem with the water itself, it should only be effective for him alone. How could it be the whole world? Can the player still become a singularity?" Duan Qing crossed his arms and said proudly: "So... The encounter between the two teams must have been caused by other reasons, perhaps because the action of drinking water triggered a mechanism, or perhaps because the action of drinking water caused other conditions to change..."
He pointed at the advancing team on the screen and shouted slightly dissatisfied: "The reason why they listened to that person was probably because they wanted to get more information about these things from him. For example, their team was What is the investigation and what findings are there, but we are not present, so there is no way to speculate on this... But!"
"No one can ignore the problem of that well!" Duan Qing slapped his palm on the wall: "This should be the same for the enemy people! But that person...the only one who is still alive Guy, he didn't mention the well..."
"Don't you think there's a problem?"
"But at the beginning..." Qianzhihe next to him raised his finger and recalled: "I remember one of them was lying next to the well and watching..."
"What you are seeing is from the perspective of Xue Ling Huan Bing. Of course you all think so." Duan Qing showed a mysterious smile on his face: "If I say...from the perspective of the Muyu team at the beginning, that intersection There is nothing in the center..."
"How will things turn out?"
"What?" The little girl grabbed Duan Qing's arm: "How is this possible? Is this true?"
"The village is so big, and the long period of time before was enough for them to search the village, but in the last few minutes, those people were wandering around that intersection for a long time..." Ignoring Mengzhu's questions, Duan Qing Continue to analyze on their own: "If I guessed correctly, they should have found clues on how to escape from the village, but they could not find the key well, so they kept wandering near the intersection until... Someone from Free Snow touched magic and pulled the two teams to the same coordinates."
"How fair... The two teams each hold the key to escape, but neither can crack the secret of the well alone, so in the end... they still have to fight." The deep laughter slowly followed Duan Qing's words. The ground rang: "And this... is probably the reason why that person hasn't given up yet."
"that person……"
Looking at the only remaining opponent who was being escorted by everyone, Mengzhu couldn't help but hold his hand: "It's difficult, could it be said... that he is still looking for a chance to escape?"
"It's not about running away." Duan Qing clasped his hands together: "It's about winning the game."
"right here?"
The woman's voice of inquiry finally came from the screen, and after seeing the other party's subconscious nod, she waved her hand lightly and sent Nan Xiaowu and Fengqiao Tingyu in: "Be careful of the trap."
"It's okay, if this kid dares to play tricks..." Huanhai Kuangxing on the side said ferociously: "I will make his life worse than death."
"Haha, hahahaha..."
Amid the dry laughter of the Mohist disciples, the remaining four people waited quietly beside the ruins for a while, and then saw the appearance of two figures amidst the vigilance and silence: "Captain."
"how?"
"We found a... record." After looking at the slightly embarrassed expression of the man being held in custody, Nan Xiaowu reported in a low voice: "The record mentioned that... a senior mage from the ancient magic empire once went into exile. When we got here, we built a magic circle while resisting the pursuers.”
"The records mentioned some of his diaries about staying in this place, as well as some contacts with local villagers." Fengqiao Tingyu continued: "Of course... there are also many professional terms that I didn't understand."
"Conclusion." Xue Ling Huan Bing asked in a low voice: "I just need a conclusion."
"Ahem..." Fengqiao Tingyu cleared his throat: "The conclusion is...this magic circle does use some kind of magic technology to separate the space between this place and the outside world, and the array eyes that operate this magic circle... …That’s the well.”
"oh?"
"There are some marks mentioned in the record, about that well." Fengqiao Tingyu took two steps forward, and then handed an old piece of paper to the woman: "If I understand correctly, these Numbers should represent..."
"Water level."
Several people looked at the source of the sound at the same time, and saw a dejected Mo family disciple saying dejectedly: "Okay, now that you are all here..."
"Those marks should refer to the water level of the well." He whispered: "That's what we all guessed."
"You?" The big man in black armor said in a deep tone: "Then why don't you run away?"
"We... didn't find the well." The man lowered his head and said, "Besides... we don't know how to operate those numbers and what their meanings are. Originally... we wanted to give it a try directly. , but I haven’t found it yet, just, just..."
"Have you met us?" Huanhai Kuangxing laughed and said, "We are really destined, hahahaha!"
"Look." Duan Qing, who was outside the court, stretched out a finger: "He started to play tricks."
"Uncle! Think of a solution quickly!"
"Here we go again... What can I, a spectator, do?" Duan Qing curled his lips: "Don't panic, as long as your sister Xue is here, she should show up."
"Maple Bridge."
In the picture, Xueling Huanbing looked back and forth at the paper in his hand, then turned to look at the magician: "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely. After all, I am a water magician." The latter nodded slightly, and then murmured in a low voice: "I wonder why I can't always use magic..."
"Okay, brother, don't be resentful." Tiannanxing patted him on the shoulder: "The rest is up to you."
He turned his head and glanced at the prisoner: "After all...there is still this guy."
"Hey!" Seeing everyone staring at him, the player named Mohist hurriedly raised his hand: "I said everything! There are so many people watching outside, you Wings of Freedom can't Breaking one’s word…”
"never mind."
The tall woman sighed, then shook her head and said, "Leave him alive. The mission is to escape from the village anyway. Killing one more person will do no good."
"But what if..."
"I'll watch him."
Cold eyes swept around everyone, and the woman's tone became cold: "Just leave... Well, just to be on the safe side, you can go to the exit in advance and wait."
"Hey, you..." At the end of her sentence, she tapped the Mo family's chest with her sword: "In which direction is the entrance to the village you mentioned just now?"
"Here, over there..."
"No, no, no." Huanhai Kuangxing, who understood what the captain meant, waved his hands, blocking the opponent's move to leave, and then showed a strange smile: "You can't go."
"Just a few of us can go..."
