Chapter 2520 Stair Test

"This staircase seems to be wrong." Ms. Melo also felt the faint fluctuations coming from the wooden staircase. There was no abnormality on the surface of the staircase, but based on her past experience, it was very likely that there was a magic array engraved inside or on the shady side of the staircase.

As for the effect of the magic array... it was probably not a good thing.

However, Ms. Melo was not too worried. Although she could not understand the magic array, the adult next to her was a master of the magic array.

Thinking of this, Ms. Melo looked at Angel with expectation.

She did not forget the photo on the fourth floor of the prison. If she could see Angel crack the magic array with her own eyes, it would also be a way to broaden her horizons... Even if she could not understand it now, it didn't matter. She would be able to taste something in the future.

However, Ms. Melo's expectations were ultimately dashed.

Angel did not crack the magic array, but directly cast an illusion to show glowing footprints on the stairs.

"It's safe to walk on these glowing footprints. If you don't walk on the right path, you will probably... die, right? The kind that is served on a plate." Angel said these cruel words lightly, then took a step back and looked at the gifted people with his eyes. The meaning is very clear - you go on.

Angel had actually thought about cutting off the energy of the mechanism and temporarily interrupting the magic array. But for some reason, looking at those safe landing points and imagining the walking and jumping steps of mentally retarded children, he suddenly didn't want to break the magic array.

Faced with Angel's sudden statement, all the gifted people were a little dumbfounded.

"Me, we go first?" The fat man pointed at his nose.

Others looked at Angel with expectant and pleading eyes, and they hoped very much that they had misunderstood Angel's meaning.

If it was a normal footprint, it would be fine, but the footprints on the stairs were very strange. Most of them could guess by just looking at it that they needed to do some balance movements to connect. Even, they had to run and jump while maintaining the movements. This is really difficult!

However, Angell's gentle nod shattered everyone's expectations.

For a moment, everyone's expressions were wonderful. Some were horrified, some swallowed their saliva and tried to be calm, and some had pupils that shrank but still kept their indifferent personality.

Angell just watched quietly without saying a word.

"Are you really letting them go alone?" At this time, Ms. Melo spoke.

She acted very worried, but in fact, her heart was completely the opposite. Angell had put the answer on the stairs. As long as they followed the footprints, they would be fine. If they couldn't do this, they shouldn't be in the wizarding world. The reason why she still spoke was purely selfish. Compared with training these noobs, she still wanted to watch how Angell cracked the magic array.

Others didn't know what Ms. Melo really thought in her heart, and they all cast grateful eyes at him. Sure enough, Ms. Melo was better to them.

Angel didn't think about Ms. Melo's thoughts, just thought she was soft-hearted, so she replied: "You asked them to come to the castle, isn't that what you meant? Now, why are you backing off again?"

Ms. Melo smiled awkwardly. She was always embarrassed to say what she really thought, so she could only vaguely say: "I'm not worried about them. I mean, the answers have been given, so letting them go won't actually train anything."

Angel asked suspiciously: "Really?"

Ms. Melo said affirmatively: "Yes."

"But..." Angel pointed to the gifted person opposite: "Are you sure they dare to leave after giving the answer?"

Ms. Melo followed Angel's line of sight. Except for Sibyl who maintained the persona of Miss Coldness, the others were obviously timid.

Even Sibyl, based on Melo's understanding of her, was probably also beating her drum at this time, but the persona could not be lost.

"Since Ms. Melo thinks that giving the answer won't help you train." Angel pondered, "Then let's do this. I'll give you a few minutes to remember where to go, and then I'll erase the hints. This will also increase the difficulty of the training."

Everyone was really stunned when they heard this.

They thought Ms. Melo was an angel who came to save them, but they didn't expect that after just a few words of communication, they went from walking with the answer clearly indicated to walking blindly.

Ms. Melo opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but looking at Angel's indifferent expression, she didn't say anything after all.

This group of talents is indeed a bit too watery. As the guide who recruited them, Ms. Melo herself admitted this.

With this group of watery talents back to the Savage Cave, will there really be a wizard who will send them a flying invitation?

Thinking of this, Ms. Melo did not hesitate and decisively followed Angel to stand on the same front.

"There are only eighteen steps in total. I'll give you five minutes... No, five minutes is too long. Three minutes is more appropriate. I'll give you three minutes to memorize. Start now."

Angel snapped his fingers, and an hourglass illusion appeared in the air to count the time.

Although everyone wanted to say "three minutes is also short", looking at the hourglass above their heads, they knew they couldn't escape, and they all came to the stairs to memorize.

While they were memorizing, Angel turned his head and looked at the specimen corridor.

He didn't really think he had plenty of time. He had already intervened in the magic array in the castle and kept an eye on the situation on the first floor of the castle.

Now, the princess's meal has come to an end. If she doesn't go somewhere else, she will probably come up soon.

But even so, Angel didn't intend to give up the "training" of this group of talents.

And the confidence lies in... illusion.

Angel stretched out his fingers and released a large number of illusion nodes towards the specimen corridor. These nodes, combined with the dense head specimens, are enough to turn this corridor into an endless corridor.

Even if the gray crows follow the princess, Angel is confident that he can trap them for a while.

After doing all this, Angel turned his head and looked at the group of talents.

Angel found that this group of talents actually has some merits. As long as you push deeper, the potential will eventually come out.

For example, at this time, Angel saw the different strategies of this group of talents.

Almost none of them used rote memorization. Some took out a pen to write and draw on their hands, and some moved their fingers quickly, looking like they were playing the piano, using the rhythmic code of their fingers to remember the position.

The most interesting one was Ameisha.

Ameisha jumped up on the spot, jumped left and right, and then took a balanced posture, using muscles to memorize directly.

When the three minutes were up, the hourglass disappeared, and the glowing footprints on the stairs gradually disappeared.

Angel looked at everyone: "Who will go up first?"

At this time, everyone rushed to go up first, after all, the temporary memory, the sooner it is used, the better.

In the end, Ameisha went up first, which was considered to be everyone's care for her. After all, among them, only Ameisha suffered punishment.

Ameisha did not give in, took a deep breath, and came to the stairs.

She did not move immediately, but hummed a cheerful nursery rhyme. With the rhythmic drum beats of the nursery rhyme, Ameisha stepped into the stairs like dancing.

Perhaps it was the addition of the nursery rhyme, everyone found that Ameisha's performance was quite smooth. It took only a few seconds to climb to the third floor without triggering the mechanism.

Seeing Ameisha's success also gave others some confidence.

They began to line up to go upstairs.

The gifted people were only concerned about how to go upstairs safely, but they didn't notice how... graceful their posture was when they went upstairs.

Ms. Melo looked at the gifted people, walking and jumping like mentally retarded children, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

Could it be... Ms. Melo turned to look at Angel.

Angel glanced at her, and Ms. Melo immediately turned her head and looked at the funny scenes on the stairs with a serious face.

Everyone had different methods and different efficiencies, but what made Ms. Melo feel relieved was that everyone went upstairs smoothly without triggering the mechanism.

Sure enough, potential must be forced out.

Although this exercise was not really difficult, it was a good start for these people who came out of the ivory tower to be able to do this.

While Ms. Melo was relieved, Angel didn't feel anything at all. If they can't even pass this difficulty, they are really stupid.

However, after the gifted people go upstairs, it will be their turn.

A group of gifted people were also on the third floor, stretching their heads to look down. They also wanted to see how Angel and Ms. Melo went upstairs. They still remembered their ugly appearance when they went upstairs. They wondered if they would also... Everyone didn't dare to think too much, after all, they were extraordinary people who were high above.

What everyone didn't expect was that Angel didn't take the stairs at all.

He just stretched out his hand lightly, and ripples appeared in front of him. A door that was difficult to see with the naked eye appeared in front of him.

Angel stretched out his hand to Ms. Melo: Ladies first.

Ms. Melo walked into the door silently, and Angel followed. After passing through this door, they appeared directly beside the group of gifted people.

Looking at Angel and Ms. Melo who came through the space gate, everyone was silent.

There is such a high-end space gate... Why force them to do stupid behavior? !

Ms. Melo was also silent. She originally thought that she would go upstairs in a weird posture, but she didn't expect Angel to use space magic and teleport directly.

Moreover, they opened the door and teleported after all the gifted people reached the third floor.

This made Ms. Melo more certain of a certain guess in her heart.

Perhaps what her cheap junior brother Sailum said was right. Angel was actually a sultry person. On the surface, he was elegant and gentle, but in fact, he was naughty from time to time. And this time, the staircase incident was probably the naughty side of Angel that surfaced...

Angel would certainly not admit that he wanted to see how the mentally retarded children went upstairs to make this scene.

He was really training these gifted people. You see, he forced their potential out.

Angel didn't think he did anything wrong at all. He glanced at everyone: "The situation on the third floor is different from the other two floors. There is only one room here, but there may be some surprises in this room."

Angel got straight to the point, so that a group of gifted people temporarily gave up thinking about the staircase incident and looked behind them.

They noticed it when they came up before.

There is no corridor on the third floor. There is a small section on both sides that looks like a corridor, but in fact, you can see the wall at the end at a glance.

Opposite the stairs is a fairy-tale-style **door.

The main color of the gate is pink and red, which has a fairy-tale flavor. There are also some carvings on the door, which seem to be fairy tales. But if you look closely, you will find that the fairy tales here have been changed. For example, the princess is happily together with the prince, but the way is different. The prince is eaten by the princess. This kind of togetherness can probably be considered together.

There is no mechanism on the door, but the handle of the door is a bit low, obviously designed according to the height of the princess.

Angel pushed the door open directly.

Everyone looked behind the door curiously, but nothing could be seen behind the door because it was full of rainbow-colored mist.

"Go in, there is no danger, but there are some surprises." Angel paused, "Or, fright."

After Angel finished speaking, he walked directly into the rainbow mist.

Ms. Melo followed immediately.

Other gifted people had no other choice at this time, so they could only follow.

......

As soon as Ms. Melo entered the rainbow mist, she felt something wrong, as if there was a familiar energy floating around.

Before she could determine the source of this energy, she found a door in front of her.

As the door appeared, the surrounding rainbow mist seemed to fade away. It can be vaguely seen that there is a gravel road and a fence next to this door. And this door seems to be the door of a wooden house?

Why is there a wooden house in the room on the third floor? Is this an illusion?

Ms. Melo hesitated for a moment. Before she could find other clues, she still wanted to go inside. Moreover, Angel said before that there seemed to be no danger here.

Thinking of this, Ms. Melo walked on the gravel road and came to the door.

The door was not locked and was easily pushed open.

A gentle and kind old female voice came back from inside: "Little Melo, you are back. I just heated up your favorite sweet snail soup. Come and try it quickly."

The familiar voice stunned Ms. Melo instantly. She looked up and saw a white-haired old woman in the middle of the room, smiling at her in front of the fire.

And this old woman was not unfamiliar to Ms. Melo. She was her... grandmother.

The grandmother's voice and the grandmother's smile were the same as in her memory. But Melo knew that the person in front of her was not her grandmother.

At least, when her grandmother cooked soup, she would stir it with a long spoon instead of directly reaching her hands into the boiling pot.

"Is this what adults call a surprise, or a shock?" Melo whispered.

Although she knew that the grandmother in front of her was not real, Melo still walked over. The dusty memory was opened in an alternative way. Whether it was real or not, she wanted to look at her grandmother's face and listen to the familiar voice carefully, even if the other party said terrible words and did weird things.

However, before Melo walked to her grandmother, the scene in front of her suddenly changed.

The grandmother disappeared, the wooden house disappeared, and the soup pot that was stewing something disappeared. She was no longer in the wooden house, but came to a glass house.

She was not the only one in the glass house. Angel was sitting in the middle of the glass house at this time.

After confirming that Angel was not an illusion, Melo hesitated and asked, "Did the adults pull me in?"

Angel nodded.

"Although I don't know what you saw, it's just a bubble created by the illusion... You should have seen those obvious false appearances, so it's better not to indulge in it." Looking at the trance-like Ms. Melo, Angel said softly.

Ms. Melo was silent for a long time before nodding: "I understand."

As if she didn't want to talk too much about the illusion she saw, Ms. Melo took a deep breath and quickly changed the subject: "My lord, where is this place?"

"The only place in the Rainbow Illusion House that is not disturbed by illusions, and it is also a transit station to the next room."
