Chapter 507
After reading the numbers displayed in the message again, Duck couldn't help but hesitate.
…
"Are you awake?"
There was a fluctuation of magic power above the head, and Professor Sylph's voice came through the "Blessing of the Wind Elf".
Duck nodded slightly and said, "You're awake now. Professor, did the ceremony go smoothly? I received a message from Ophelia Brad."
"The ceremony went very smoothly, Medea has been here..." Professor Sylph said, "Wait, Ophelia sent you a summons? Did she use a key card?"
"It's indeed the key card." Dak nodded, "How did she get the key card?"
Professor Silver was silent for a moment and said, "She probably got it from Joseph Bruno. What did she say?"
Dak was slightly enlightened: "A line of numbers, 191519. She seems quite leisurely?"
Duck said casually, and the atmosphere in the pumpkin carriage suddenly changed.
Professor Silver suddenly looked at Medea Bartholomew, who almost immediately opened his eyes to check, and the light of the silver moon flowing in his eyes became more intense.
But after the light subsided, Medea only shook her head and said: "It went very smoothly, everything is going according to plan."
Professor Silver: "But this message?"
Professor Mitya said: "191519 is not necessarily SOS."
Duck asked curiously: "Why SOS?"
Professor Mitya said: “19, 15, and 19 correspond to the 19th, 15th, and 19th letters of the alphabet respectively, that is, S, O, and S. This is a simple spelling given the meaning of asking for help. "
Duck suddenly realized: "That's it."
The writing system of this world is very subtle.
The main function of the 26 English letters is phonetic notation, which is equivalent to the pinyin in the current Chinese system. They are only used in real words in a few cases.
Like some complex English words, there are none here.
Dak thought for a while and then said: "How about I summon you and ask?"
"No need." Professor Silver whispered, "Although there is some trouble due to the secret passage, I can indeed communicate with Olivia."
After saying that, she immediately closed her eyes, and her pale golden hair moved automatically without any wind.
With the help of the Wind Elf, her voice penetrated the barrier of the secret passage and had a brief communication with Ophelia Blood.
Then she opened her eyes and shook her head at Professor Media.
Duck waited for a moment, and when there was no sound coming from the other side, he asked with concern: "How is it?"
Professor Silver's tone became obviously heavier: "She said she didn't send you any message."
"Hey." Professor Mitya sighed immediately, "It seems we are in trouble."
…
It was half past two in the morning on April 2.
Duck Dimon died halfway through the meal.
He rolled over from his seat and waved to Dilumon and Leomon: "We have work to do."
"Is it really okay?" Professor Silver said with a hint of worry in her voice.
Dak stretched out his hand and put it around his ear, and the wisp of breeze wrapped around his fingertips.
"You have to take some risks." Dak lowered his head slightly and whispered: "With the "blessing of the wind elf", there will never be any problems."
However, he quickened his pace and walked out of the classroom.
…
On top of the spiral bell tower, inside the pumpkin carriage.
Professor Sylph held a wisp of breeze in her hand, her expression more serious than ever before: "Media, can you ensure the accuracy of the prediction?"
Professor Medea just leaned his plump body on the soft chair and said with a hint of laziness: "If you insist on asking this, in order to maintain the dignity of the prophet, I can only tell you, Bai 100% correct.”
Professor Silver's face darkened: "I'm not trying to fight with you."
Professor Medea yawned slightly and said, "But I remember that I told you a long time ago. The children will not be harmed, and the sword of the brave will pierce the black mist."
Then she suddenly said seriously: "Now that the black fog has appeared, fate has rolled the dice. As an audience, we remain the same."
Professor Silver couldn't help but take a deep breath: "I understand what you mean, but I can't help but worry."
Medea glanced at her and said to herself: "Alte's heart is much harder than yours."
Professor Silver sighed: "So she is the principal."
…
The ceremony is already halfway through.
The participation of outsiders midway will bring unpredictable changes to the entire ceremony.
Not to mention these two professors.
Whether it's Sarah Silver or Medea Bartholomew, whenever someone steps out of the pumpkin carriage, the "upper limit" of this ritual will be instantly raised.
The entire ceremony jumped from the "Novice Village" level to the "Final" level in an instant.
In this case, Dark Dimon, who had been involved in the ceremony at the beginning, was able to act normally without causing too much impact on the ceremony.
But he also needs to play his role well.
"The hero's rival?"
Dak estimated the meaning of this character and came to the most familiar entrance of the secret passage.
The role of "the brave enemy", in that historical period, belongs to the human beings who embarked on the journey at the same time as the brave. They have the same goals as the brave, and will engage in "healthy" competition with the brave during the journey, often In the end, he will join up with the brave and fight against the Demon King together.
Historically, such a character usually existed in the dramas of "The Brave Demon King".
To borrow a prophecy once said by Medea Bartholomew: History is always similar, and reincarnation never stops.
It's just that some "strong rivals" can grow at the same time as the "brave", while some "strong rivals" will be far left behind by the "brave".
Similarly, there are also "strong enemies" who will surpass the "brave" or even replace the "brave".
Of course, if that time comes, "brave" will become "strong enemy", and "strong enemy." will become "brave".
In this world where "the hero has not yet been determined" and there are many "brave candidates", this situation is not uncommon.
In the last era, "The Brave." Bright Gold's "strong enemy" was none other than the "Valkyrie", one of the kingdom's twin swords!
…
"This is it."
Dark reached out and injected magic power, and the entrance to the secret passage rippled like water.
"According to Professor Sylph, among all the secret passage entrances, only the seal here has been temporarily opened. The little demon beast!"
"The vanguard is here!"
The little demon beast flapped its wings violently and rushed into the secret passage.
Half a second later, half of its head emerged and said: "Safe."
Only then did Duck step in.
What came into view was the long-lost secret passage space. The nearby torch had already ignited flames, and the swaying firelight was reflected on the smooth walls.
He raised his hand and touched it, and the "blessing of the wind spirit" wrapped around his fingertips, and the magic power fluctuations in it became smoother in a very obvious trend.
As Professor Silver said, the barrier of the secret passage will interfere with the transmission of internal and external magic power, and the transmission of messages will be delayed as a result.
"What's the next step?"
The lion beast took a step forward and took the initiative to come to the front.
"Follow the guidance of fate."
Dark took out the "Dream Demon" magic card from his sleeve and said pretendingly.
"Dream Demon"'s magic card responded, and the scarlet beam of light reappeared.
"Let's go."
"Go on a journey."
"aim."
…
After walking out of the first section of the secret passage, the atmosphere of the entire secret passage suddenly changed, and the sense of familiarity disappeared.
Duck watched the originally flat wall turn into a steep mountain wall. Although he was surprised, he was not too surprised.
There were two leaders of this ceremony.
Ophelia Bullard is not only an "actor" but also the internal leader of the ceremony.
The other leader is Medea Bartholomew, who is mainly responsible for external leadership and fine-tuning.
Ophelia Brad is the core. Once there is a problem with this aspect of her, the entire ceremony will collapse.
Duck once participated in a ceremony led by Professor Didi.
But that ceremony was completely different in nature from this one.
This is because their purposes and ritual objects are different.
Conceptually, the ceremony led by Professor Didi is actually more complex and difficult.
In comparison, the ceremony led by Ophelia Blood and Mitya Bartholomew was really just a "stage play" level.
But the "stage play" is small but exquisite.
Although it is small scale, it is more refined.
…
A few minutes later, Dak looked at the group of monsters that suddenly came from the fork in the road, and issued an attack command to the lion beast.
"Beast King Fist!"
The lion-shaped energy wave that erupted in the roar of the lion instantly blasted all the monsters into powder!
"It's just a show."
Duck shook his head and moved forward quickly.
The monsters that were transformed into the secret passages due to rituals were far inferior to the monsters in St. Marian's dungeon. They were like hastily made papier-mâché crafts.
By the time they stepped past, the fragments of the monsters had turned back into magical starlight and been recovered by the secret passage.
All the way across.
Half an hour later, Duck had penetrated deep into the secret passage.
Professor Sylph's message will come out from the "Wind Elf's Blessing" every once in a while.
Although it was vague, I could barely understand the meaning.
The ceremony continued smoothly.
Everything is going according to plan.
It was as if the line of numbers that Xue Ji sent through the door card did not exist at all.
But within this "smoothness", there is a trace of "depression" that gradually accumulates.
Duck felt a sense of urgency.
Another half hour passed.
He finally caught up with the progress of the "brave" and came to a huge door.
Looking up at the giant bronze door that was quite similar to the door of the Two-Headed Demon Palace in the underground city, Dark took a deep breath.
The huge door has been pushed open to create a gap for three people to pass side by side.
It can be seen that the actors in the "Brave" group have already gone deep into it.
As the core actors of the entire ceremony, Werther and Robert knew nothing about the ceremony itself.
