Starting From Zero

Chapter 26 Succeed

After playing with the big pot rice for half an hour, we finally got the damn mechanism right. In the process, we passed 4 waves of guards and 1 wave of maids. Fortunately, there were darts to warn me in advance every time. They can successfully hide in the next room without being discovered.

The moment that damn door opened, I felt like I was reincarnated! A group of guards happened to come from behind us. I quickly walked into the room with a big pot of rice, and then quickly closed the door. The guards passed through the door without noticing our behavior at all.

After listening to the footsteps to confirm that the guard was gone, I suddenly felt the big pot of rice next to me pulling me. I looked at him, but he kept pointing into the room. When I looked back, I was immediately stunned. The designs of the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness were obviously made by one person. The gate we just passed through was basically a portal. Just like the Dark Temple, we were sent to some kind of altar. The tall altar that was exactly the same as the Dark Temple actually had a super-tall obelisk erected on it. If I hadn’t known in advance that this place was no longer inside the temple, I would have Just as stupid as the big pot of rice next to it.

"Stop being in a daze." I slapped Da Guofan awake, who was still in a daze. "This is not the interior of the temple. The actual listing portal we passed through is the location of an altar, but the entrance here is directly connected to the gate of the temple. Don't think there is anything strange. It’s not the inside of the temple at all, it’s normal for such a big building.”

After listening to my words, Big Pot Rice obviously felt a lot better: "But...this..."

"Don't do this! Shura Ziyi's side may not be able to delay for long. If we don't hurry up, we will be discovered!" After I said that, I ran directly to the top of the altar.

The super long steps once again gave me the feeling of extreme sports. When I climbed to the top of the altar, I felt like I was almost out of breath. When I turned around to look at the big pot of rice, the boy was lying on the steps five minutes from the top. One of the places was foaming at the mouth! It seems like you can't count on him now!

The obelisk on the top of the altar is not as thin as it looks from a distance. The main reason is that it is too high. From a distance, it looks thin and long. Now standing under the obelisk, I just feel that it is so thin. high! This obelisk is triangular in shape, with three sides at the bottom. Each side is engraved with dense text, but it must be useless, otherwise I won’t be able to see tomorrow after reading so much!

"Brother! For the sake of the country, please give me a hand!" A trembling hand appeared on the edge of the altar. I really didn't realize that the big pot rice guy actually climbed up.

"Are you okay?" I walked over and pulled him up. To be honest, I was a little shaky when I walked, and it felt like the ground was soft!

"Brother...have you seen...the bright...star?" Daguofan panted like a cow, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"I didn't see it. It might be inside something. I'm just looking for it!" As I said this, I had already returned to my search. The top of the altar was simply a platform. Apart from the obelisk and the eight surrounding pillars, there was nothing else. None. Ordinarily, if the Star of Light is hidden, it must be inside this obelisk.

Da Guofan climbed up next to a stone pillar and held on to the pillar. There was a candlestick sticking out diagonally on the stone pillar. Da Guofan grabbed the base of the candlestick and tried to stand up, but only heard a click and the candlestick was pulled away. Come down. The candlestick was not broken, but was pulled down like a wire knife. The candlestick, which was originally inserted at an angle of 45 degrees on the stone pillar, was actually pulled perpendicular to the stone pillar.

I turned around immediately when I heard the sound. This scene made me and Daguofan scream at the same time. "organ!"

As soon as the rice cooker let go, the candlestick returned to its original position. I walked over and tried to pull it. As soon as I pulled the candlestick, it would come down, but when I let go, it would go back automatically. Da Guo Fan pointed to the stone pillar next to him. "Boss, can you try to pull the one over there? I suspect these are traps."

I walked over and tried to pull it, and click, sure enough, this stone pillar can also be moved. "It seems that these 8 are all the handles of the mechanism. I just don't know if a specific combination is required to turn the mechanism on!"

"I guess not!" Daguofan said: "There is no point in building a mechanism combination. It is probably necessary to open the 8 handles to open the mechanism, because as soon as you let go, the mechanism will return to its original position, so it will take a total of 8 pull handles to get things. Only nine people can take things out of the mechanism. The design idea of ​​the temple is to prevent one or two people from taking things out, and if there are too many people, it will be difficult to sneak into the temple!"

"Fairy Knight!" I summoned 10 Fairy Knights at once and asked 8 of them to be responsible for 8 handles respectively. I have more people anyway! I stood next to the obelisk with the remaining two demon knights and the big pot of rice. I was convinced that this mechanism was inside the obelisk.

With a gesture from me, eight handles were pulled down at the same time. There was just a click, which was obviously the sound of some mechanical object returning to its place, followed immediately by the sound of gears turning. The obelisk began to sink at a very slow speed. I originally thought that something like a secret door would open at the bottom of the obelisk, but I didn't expect that the entire obelisk began to sink. The obelisk sank faster and faster, and soon the top spire was seen to have lowered. The sound of the gears turning suddenly became abnormal, and the obelisk, which had been falling smoothly with a click, suddenly stopped moving. The pointed spire is now nearly 9 meters high from us. Although this height is not very high, flying is restricted here. How can I go up at 9 meters!

Big Pot Rice came over and looked at the very obvious shining object on the top of the obelisk and said, "Is that the Star of Light?"

"Probably! I haven't seen it before, but it looks similar! The problem is that this thing is still up there, how are we going to get up there?"

"Don't worry, brother, it's up to me!" Da Guofan took off his armor and threw it on the floor.

I looked at him in surprise and said, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course we're climbing!" Da Guofan finally dropped the last piece of equipment, then started climbing up with the obelisk in his arms.

"It's unnecessary. Don't rush to climb! I have a solution." He turned around and summoned Lucky: "Lucky! You can wrap me up with your tail and send me to the top of the tower."

I was lucky enough to be rolled up to the height of the tower. Although I am not lucky enough to be 9 meters tall, the tail of a dragon is often more than twice or even three times the body length. Let alone 9 meters, he is 19 meters like us It’s enough!

When luck brought me to the top, I finally saw the legendary star of light, which was much bigger than the star of darkness. A crystal stone as big as a dinosaur egg floats on the top of the obelisk at a height of less than 1 meter. The surface of the crystal is constantly emitting a soft light. For ordinary players, maybe at this time, they should feel a warm feeling like being embraced by God, and they should have a happy face. But I'm completely different. I have a pure dark attribute and am covered in smoke when illuminated by the soft light emitted by this damn bright star. Is this soft light even more powerful than a laser?

Ignoring him, I took out the Demon King's crystal bottle and filled the Star of Light in one breath. To put it bluntly, the Demon King's Crystal Bottle is a space-based super safe. Anything can be put in it, and no matter what power it has, it cannot leave the bottle on its own. Although the Demon King's Crystal Bottle is a treasure of the dark forces, the treasure itself is not divided into light and darkness. It is just for people to use.

After taking care of the Bright Star, I quickly asked Lucky to let me down, put away Lucky and the demon knights, and without human control, all the mechanisms were restored. There was a sound of mechanism activity, and the obelisk rose again at a slow speed. I grabbed the big pot of rice and started running back, because I was already familiar with the road when I came here, so it was much easier to leave than to enter. Soon we returned to the reception room through the balcony on the second floor.

When the two of us appeared in the original living room, Grandma could hardly wait. "Master, you are finally back!"

"How's it going? No one found anything, right?"

"Fortunately, there are no surprises!"

"You guys have been waiting for a long time!" Less than a minute after we came back, the door to the room was pushed open.

"Is the conversation between our friend and the God of Light over?"

The old priest said: "The conversation is over. The God of Light intends to provide the envoy with opportunities to be purified one by one, but the envoy hopes that you will accept the purification!"

At this time, Shura Ziyi's private chat appeared in his ears. "Don't refuse. You worked hard to get the mission back. How can I have the nerve to steal your reward!"

I put my voice in the private chat and beside me at the same time, so that both the priest and Shura Ziyi could hear it. "Sorry, I am a member of the High-level Demon Palace. Purification will not do any good to people like me. I highly doubt that I will turn into a pile of fly ash in the light of purification!"

"Oh! That's right!" The old priest nodded: "But God's promise cannot be broken!"

"Then can I let someone else take me as a gift?"

"This is no problem!" The old priest immediately agreed.

I nodded and said, "Then I ask to keep this reward. I will bring the people who need to be rewarded later."

"Okay, there's no problem with this!" The old priest looked around, then walked towards the wall of the room. He took one of the two great swords crossed that adorned the wall. "Bring this sword with you! No matter who comes to the temple with this thing in the future, we will perform a god-level purification for him."

"Okay, thank you!" I took the sword and looked at my subordinate's sex. There was only a few words "mission certificate" written on it. It was obviously something with no offensive power!

Shura Ziyi walked in from outside. "Okay, it's done, it's time for us to go!"

"Then let's say goodbye. We have to rush back to the Dark Temple to return to our lives!" Shura Ziyi and I left the temple while singing the oboe. In fact, we ran so fast because we were guilty of being guilty. I was afraid that the temple would find out that the Star of Light had been raped by someone. He stole it and caught up with it, so it's better to run faster first. Even if we are discovered outside the temple, we can still find a way to escape. But if we are blocked inside the temple, then...! At that time, the goddess will say: close the door and let the dogs out! I'm done!

After leaving Yunxiao City in fear, the three of us suddenly jumped up with excitement. Shura Ziyi said excitedly: "Boss, I have obtained both of these things. Can you take us to see our future city?"

"I'll tell you the place, can you go there yourself?"

"Why?" Da Guofan seemed a little unhappy.

I took out the helmet, and both of them stopped talking when they saw the arrow stuck in my helmet.

"I also thought of taking you to have a look, but I haven't fixed this thing yet. I always feel like there is something in my heart!"

"If you are really busy, then tell us the place first and we will go see it ourselves." Shura Ziyi is quite upright.

Although Big Pot Rice is a little disappointing, I really have something to do and he can't complain. "Oh well!"

After saying goodbye to the two people, I went back to the Lost City directly. Ordinarily, Clark might be able to repair this thing! After leaving the teleportation hall, I ran directly to Clark's shop. Fortunately, I caught him this time. Clark was about to go out but I blocked him back.

"What did you break again?" Clark now knows that I only come to him for a few things, besides repairing equipment.

After repairing the equipment so many times, I can finally see it now. The artifact is a high-tech weapon. It's great to use, but it's a huge headache to maintain it! Not only is it troublesome to repair, it’s also extremely expensive! I took out the helmet with the arrow stuck in it. "Is the gem broken to be repaired?"

"Who are you? You can break this?"

"I didn't mean it. Do you think I wanted to damage my things?"

"Forget it, forget it! What a headache!" Clark took out a magnifying glass and looked at the gem carefully and then said: "For this thing, you still have to go to Liusi City and find the gem craftsman Deken there. I heard that that guy used to The black crystal has been repaired, but I don’t know if it’s still there now!”

"Isn't it? Boss, please! Give me more accurate news!"

Clark pushed me away: "Who do you think I am? I'm not a prophet. The last time I saw him was 300 years ago. How can I still know his specific situation after such a long time!"

"Another old monster!" I muttered.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing said!"

"By the way, I heard from the Dark Temple that you took away the Dark Star?" Clark finally asked me about the Dark Star. I knew he would definitely ask me, this is like the Declaration of Independence of the United States being taken away. Do you think the Americans will not pursue it? The same is true here. To put it bluntly, the Dark Star has no practical effect at all, it is just a symbol. The Dark Star of the Dark Temple suddenly lost Clark, as a dark creature, he would not have known it.

"The Dark Star is indeed with me, but I just borrowed it and returned it when I'm done!" I'm telling the truth. This thing only represents a mission item and has no actual use. I keep this thing with me. What is the use! It's better to return it as a favor.

"It won't be a problem if you return it. Anyway, this thing has no practical use. There won't be any problem if you don't leave it for a while."

"That's right!" I suddenly remembered that the Star of Light was coming. "The Star of Light of the Temple is also here with me! I just came out of the Temple of Light."

"The Star of Light is also here with you?" Clark was startled by my words. "Are you kidding me?"

"Joking has to depend on the occasion. Is there anyone making such a joke?"

"Really here with you?" Clark was obviously a little excited. "How did you get it? It is said that the God of Light can sense its existence a hundred kilometers away. There is nothing in the temple. The sacred aura there is too strong, and it will not attract anyone's attention even if it moves. But as soon as you leave the temple It should be discovered!"

I took out the Demon King's crystal bottle from my bracelet. "I poured it here. Isn't this thing specially designed to hold special items?"

"What? Did you put the Star of Light into the Demon King's crystal bottle?" Clark was indeed very knowledgeable, and he could tell at a glance that it was the Demon King's crystal bottle.

"That's right! You can't pretend without this thing! You don't know, the sacred power of the Star of Light is so powerful. I just started to smoke all over my body just within 5 meters of it!"

Clark asked nervously: "I want to ask, if you put the light star here, what about the dark star?"

"It's in there too!" I replied matter-of-factly, what's so strange about this!

"Oops!" Clark covered his face with his hands. "You'd better take it out and take a look. I guarantee that both the Star of Light and the Star of Darkness are gone! What can I say to you! What do you think? You clearly know that the attributes of light and darkness are mutually restrained, but you actually put them Dark star and light star in a jar! Oh my god! I'm going to collapse!"

"What you said is not true, is it?" I opened the Demon King's crystal bottle with suspicion, but what reassured me was that Clark's words were not correct, and I really poured out two treasures. "Isn't this all good? You actually scared me, I really thought it was gone!"

Clark also looked at it in surprise, because the Dark Star is here, and the sacred power of the Light Star has been offset, so even if we look at it this way, we won't be burned like I was in the altar of the Temple of Light, with green smoke all over my body. . After studying for a long time, Clark kept shouting: "Weird! Weird!"

"Did I say it's nothing! You still don't believe it!" I was about to put the two things back but suddenly found that there was something in the bottle. "What is this?" I took out a transparent crystal stone from the bottle. In the center of the crystal stone, there was a black object similar to a nebula that was slowly rotating.

Clark looked at it and said, "I've never seen this thing before. I really don't know what it is. Why don't you go find a money scammer to get it appraised?"

"Oh! Then I'll go right away. You go get busy, I'm leaving first!"

After leaving Clark's shop, I went straight to the appraisal office. Clark always called the owner here a liar. Last time, he was firm about my ring, but now my appraisal skills are better. I haven't been to the appraisal office for a long time. .

I rushed all the way to the second floor of the appraisal center and went directly to the old shopkeeper. Although I don’t know what the thing in my hand is yet, the grade is definitely not ordinary. The clerk in the store cannot identify it 100%. It is better to come to the shopkeeper directly to save time.

"Hey, rare guest, rare guest!" I didn't expect him to recognize me after not being here for so long.

"I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything!" She handed him the crystal that suddenly appeared. "Can you help me see what this is?"

The shopkeeper took it and looked at it for a long time and then went to look through his treasure identification tool. After struggling for a while, he returned the thing to me. "I'm so sorry! I'm so ashamed!"

"What are you ashamed of?"

"I can't identify this thing. I can only see the name, and I know that there is indeed an attribute behind it, but I don't know what attribute it is!"

"It's okay if you can see the name! What is this thing called?"

The shopkeeper said with a blushing face: "This thing has two names, one is the main name, and the other is the subname. The main name is Balance Crystal, and the subname is Chaos Crystal. But what are the specific attributes? I don’t know!”

"The crystal of balance and chaos? Could it be...?" An idea suddenly crossed my mind, but I didn't say it out. After all, this issue involves a wide range, and the relationship between this appraiser and me is not the same after all. I know Clark so well. If he sold me, I wouldn’t have anywhere to cry!
