Volume 20, Chapter 230: Zeus’s Secret Chamber

"What is going on?" The three goddesses who came in behind the three mobile angels asked in surprise, pointing to the mobile angel hanging on the metal mirror.

"Maybe it's some kind of force field, I don't know. It's definitely not a magnet."

Metal is the main component of the materials on the mobile angels, but the iron content should not be large enough for them to be sucked to the mirror. Besides, the four mobile angels we have come with are relatively special models. The star alloy is not made of iron as the main component, so the suction force should be smaller, so that thing is definitely not a magnet.

"Ling, go over and take a look at what's written on it." Those four mobile angels definitely couldn't be left alone, so I could only summon Ling to help take a look, while Wei Na and Peacock followed me and started to advance into the garden. Starfire stayed behind to protect Ling and the four mobile angels who were temporarily incapacitated.

While Ling was studying the metal plate, I carefully moved to the end of the screen. In fact, the garden behind the arch is not very big to begin with, and the end of it is the front wall of the dormitory, and the door in the middle is the dormitory door.

The door of this dormitory does not use the design used by the Olympus Protoss. According to the design style of the Olympus Protoss, the external doors of the temple buildings only have door frames and no door panels. Door panels are only used in the rooms inside the building. Even the corridors and courtyards have no doors. However, the door of this building has a door panel, and it is quite heavy. The dark wooden door panel is covered with green vines, which would be more obvious if it weren't for the door head on top. It is not easy for ordinary people to find that there is a hidden gate here at first glance.

Because there are no windows on the front of the entire building, there is only a three-meter-high and two-meter-wide door, so if we want to go in, besides going through the wall, we can only consider this door.

I didn't dare to violently dismantle the door without knowing whether it was connected to an alarm device, because that might cause Zeus to come back early. And we still don’t know where the core of the divine power of the Olympus Protoss is. If we can’t find it in a short time, but Zeus comes back first, it will be troublesome.

For safety reasons, I had to use a more conservative method to open the door. First, I observed the entire gate to make sure there were no mechanisms that could be directly seen by the naked eye, and then summoned A Di Na, Ye Yue and Bai Lang. All three of them had special abilities. Ariana's sonar is not only useful in water. It also has a certain effect on solid materials. Its principle is similar to ultrasonic bo flaw detection, which uses the difference in reflectivity between different material structures to determine faults, sections and various complex structures hidden inside the object. Of course, because A Di Na is not a professional at this. Therefore, the detection cannot be too accurate, but it can only play a supporting role.

Yeyue's ability is different from A Dianna's. She uses her eyes. In addition to powerful attack capabilities, Ariana's eyes also have many other abilities, such as infrared vision. Yeyue can see infrared rays, and not just infrared rays. She can actually see many spectra beyond the range of human vision, including even x-rays. Modern people all know what x-rays can do, so Yeyue actually has a certain ability to see through things. Of course, the same as Grandma. Her ability is not particularly strong, but the effect is indeed better than A Dianna's sonar. Moreover, the two can complement each other.

In the end, the role of Bailang is prevention. His hearing is super sharp, so he can replace a listening device to a certain extent. If I activate an extra mechanism when I turn a doorknob or other switch, he'll be the first to hear it.

With these three people here, there is basically no secret at all in the door in front of you. Of course, you still need to be careful when opening the door. After all, various magic switches are also very troublesome. If you don't make a mistake and trigger the alarm system, you will lose more than you gain.

As soon as Yeyue and Aina appeared, they started to check the door lock according to my instructions. After confirming the general structure of the door, they found a mechanism near the door handle, but it was not an alarm, but a defensive circle.

This building is actually covered with an absolute barrier array. If someone triggers the mechanism, the absolute defense array will block the entire building for three hours. During this period, the house itself is almost invincible, so once that thing is activated, we will completely You can say goodbye to the core of divine power of the Olympus Protoss.

"Can you see the start switch?" I asked nervously looking at Yeyue.

Yeyue stuck to the door and looked at it carefully for a long time before pointing to a location and saying: "There is a small mechanism here that can be pushed by magic. When turning the door handle, you must press this thing simultaneously to make the door handle's rotating mechanism and mechanism The connection is disconnected, otherwise the mechanism will be activated when you turn the handle."

"This is easy." I directly put the pepper out and let her try it. Sure enough, the little thing sealed in the door was not a problem at all for the pepper. After confirming that Chili Pepper pressed the button, I held the door handle and carefully turned it half a turn, then pushed it in gently. As the door shaft turned, the situation in the room was finally revealed.

This dormitory is said to be a dormitory, but in fact it is similar to a small villa. It seems to have only three floors in total, and the first floor is almost filled with halls and storage rooms. After entering, we first asked several friends with good ears and eyes to scan the entire house. After confirming that there were no magic traps or anything like that, we felt relieved and started searching.

Because I have a lot of magic pets, this kind of manual work is not a problem at all. I released all the humanoid magic pets and started to help me find various locations in the room. I quickly checked all the rooms on the entire first floor.

The central hall is basically empty, there is nothing to check here. There are a row of small rooms on either side of the hall. The row on the left seems to be a medicine storage room, which is filled with all kinds of messy high-end medicines and pharmaceutical materials. Now that I have seen everything, I naturally cannot leave these things alone and directly open the door to the earth and let the Qilin warriors empty everything in one go.

In fact, in addition to the purpose of emptying the warehouse to search for supplies, the most important thing is to facilitate our inspection. The room is so packed that if there is any secret door, you can't see it. So it must be cleared first to make sure there are no secret passages or anything like that.

While the Kirin Warriors were carrying the medicines in the left room, the room on the right was also opened. This is also a warehouse, but it contains high-end equipment and some very precious magic materials. Of course, this cannot be left to Zeus. It was immediately evacuated by the influx of Qilin warriors.

After cleaning the two rooms, we didn't find any hidden secret passages or anything like that, so we started searching towards the second floor.

While we were cleaning the floor below, Yeyue, Aina, Chili, and Weina had already roughly checked the upstairs. First, they made sure there were no mechanisms or anything like that, and they were afraid that there were no hidden objects upstairs. Guard. As a result, no guards were found, no mechanisms were found, and no magic traps were found. But thinking about it, this is normal. No matter how cautious people are, they generally won’t put many traps in their homes. After all, this is the place where you live. If you get confused at some point and commit suicide, that would be like shooting yourself in the foot.

After clearing the first floor, I took the humanoid familiar to the second floor. Compared to one layer. This second floor is obviously half the size smaller. There are only three rooms here. One of them is a bedroom. The things in it are so simple that there is almost no need to check, because there is not even a cabinet except a bed. The other two rooms are adjacent to the bedroom and are a collection room. The area is not large and there are not many things in it. But in comparison, all of them are excellent. That is to say, it is better for someone like me who is wearing an artifact suit. Most players will go crazy when they see this room. There are eight sets of light artifact suits placed in a row under the wall facing the door, although their attributes are incomparable with my Dragon Soul suit. But it's still an artifact suit anyway, unless it's the ultimate Holy Spirit suit. Ordinary equipment is simply incomparable to this kind of artifact set.

"It seems that Rose will be happy this time." Vina said after seeing what was in the room. Rose's greed for money is no secret in our guild. We found so many high-end goods this time. It's the devil that makes her unhappy.

In fact, in addition to the row of artifact sets, there are many individual artifacts in the room. Although they are not complete sets, their attributes are very exaggerated. After a final inventory, I found that there were more than thirty artifacts in this room, not counting the sets, and all of them were high-quality products. The most exaggerated thing here is the golden water bottle placed on a display stand in the middle of the room. At first glance, this thing seemed to be just a decoration, but when I picked it up and saw its properties, I was so scared that I almost threw it away.

This gold vase is actually called "The Pot of the Sea". I've heard legends about this thing before, in more than one version. One of the legends says that Athena sealed Boseidon in this bottle, and another legend says that this bottle can hold a sea of ​​water. However, according to a legend Hephaestus accidentally talked about, the most likely possibility is that this bottle can be filled with a protoss and after a period of time separate the other person's power for the owner of the bottle to absorb.

Although the ability to separate power and absorb it for the owner does not seem to have anything to do with the name "Kettle of the Sea", when I saw the attributes, I realized that this was indeed what Hephaestus was talking about. It can seal a protoss in, then separate the opponent's power, and finally store this power in the form of a liquid. Whoever drinks the liquid inside will gain the power of that god. Of course, separation cannot separate all the power, and can only suck out half of it at most, but this is already quite an exaggeration.

"Strange."

Seeing me holding the bottle in a daze, Vina next to me patted me and asked, "What's wrong?"

I shook my head and said: "The attribute of this bottle says that the bottle is full. I don't understand what it means. I just poured it twice and no liquid came out!"

"Full?" Wei Na thought about the meaning of "full" doubtfully, and then suddenly asked: "Could it be that "full" does not mean the power of output, but...?"

"Holy crap, no way." I also thought of what Wei Na guessed, so I immediately turned the bottle upside down and pointed it at the ground, then infused magic power into the bottom of the bottle as the attributes said and slapped it three times. When I tapped the bottom of the bottle for the last time, I immediately saw a black shadow rolling out of the mouth of the bottle. Then it rolled around twice and then stopped and quickly stretched out.

"There is actually someone!" Seeing the tumbling figure, we immediately surrounded him. Peacock was the first to squat next to the man, and then tentatively turned him over. But unfortunately, this guy is obviously dead. Although the body is soft, he is not someone who has just died, but has been dead for a long time. A corpse that has softened again after undergoing rigor mortis.

In fact, not only was this man dead, but he died for a very long time, because apart from the bones, there was only a layer of skin left on his body. Obviously, this bottle will continuously absorb the power of the sealed person. If the opponent resists, it can suck out half of it. If the opponent dies, it can slowly absorb the remaining half until the opponent is completely drained. Of course, this ability has certain limitations. It cannot be used at any time.

"I don't know who is so unlucky that he was trapped in this pot of the sea and turned into a mummy!" Peacock sighed as he looked at the corpse.

Wei Na stared at the body for a while and suddenly pointed to his hand and said, "Look at his hand. He seems to be holding something."

After hearing Wei Na's words, Peacock immediately grabbed the opponent's fingers and opened them, and then he saw something. I didn't find it until I pulled it out. It turned out to be a short silver stick. This thing is only four to five centimeters long, a little thinner than the little finger. It has three holes on it, located at different positions on the surface of the short stick. The short stick doesn't look solid either, and it looks like a mechanism in it. Moreover, the middle section of the short stick is round, but the two ends are hexagonal and triangular.

Peacock held the short stick and looked at it for a long time but didn't see anything, so he could only hand it over. Weina didn't look at it carefully after taking it. It was given to me directly. After I got this thing, I started to examine it carefully. I couldn't see clearly at Peacock just now, but it turns out there are not only three holes on the surface of this thing. But there are seven more holes, because the others were previously blocked by the peacock's fingers. So I didn’t see it. In addition, the surface of this thing is not smooth, but has many small protrusions. Although at first glance these protrusions seem to have no rules, if you look closely, you will find that these small dots are actually regular, but the rules are very complicated, and it is not clear what the specific rules are for the time being.

In addition to the protrusions and holes on the surface, this thing seems to be able to rotate in sections. In fact, this thing is divided into seven sections. The seven holes we saw before are exactly one in each section, and different sections can rotate, but the rotation method is not very fixed. Some of the sections can rotate forward, and others can rotate in reverse. Anyway, the rules are very complicated.

"Can you see what it is?" Vina asked me.

I frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "If nothing else, this should be a part of some kind of magical mechanical structure, and it is a crucial part."

Peacock glanced at the corpse on the ground and said, "You have to hold it until you die. Of course this thing is not irrelevant, but we don't know what it is for now, right?"

"We're not here to play a detective game. What does it do? Finding the core of the divine power first is the key." I said aloud.

Peacock just reacted, but before she could say anything, she heard Sayoko's voice coming from outside. "Master, I found something here."

"What?" I asked and ran out. When I came to the corridor, I saw Sayoko standing at the door of the opposite room waving to us, so I ran over quickly.

There are three rooms in total on the second floor. The collection room and bedroom are located on one side of the corridor, while the other side is entirely one room. This is obviously a study room, but it is different from the study rooms of the main gods I have seen before. Zeus's study room obviously does not have much bookishness.

As mentioned before, the Olympus Protoss is a strong fighting race. They have a particularly large number of combatants, but their cultural atmosphere is relatively weak. Compared with other main gods of the protoss, whether they are really talented or fake, they will fill their study room with some high-end books to show their cultural level. But Zeus's study room... To be honest, if it weren't Between the desk in the middle and the bookshelf at the back, I almost thought this place was a hunting trophy display room.

Some of these heads belong to Warcraft. Some are monsters, and some are all human heads. Of course, this head just means that it looks like a human being, not necessarily that it is a human being. It is even certain that it is not human. Zeus is willing to put these things out, which shows that these are very meaningful goals. With Zeus's strength, I don't think killing someone is meaningful to him. If the other party is a big demon, an archangel or even a god, then Only then can it make sense. However, most of the differences between these humanoid races and humans are manifested in the body. Except that demons have two more horns than humans, the heads of most humanoid races are basically indistinguishable from human heads. There are only a row of heads left here. It is difficult to confirm the race without a body. Fortunately, these heads are not hanging there naked. Each one of them is inlaid on a shield-shaped wooden sign, and there are written records on this wooden sign, which mainly describe the identity of the original owner of the head.

"I have to say that Zeus's psychology is really problematic." Vina said as she walked into the room and looked at the heads.

In fact, not only Wei Na, I also feel the same way. I can also understand the strange behaviors that Zeus has done that violate human ethics before, and I can also understand that he is a super sex ghost with no shame. But now it seems that his problem is not just as simple as being sexy. At least I don't think most sex wolves have the habit of collecting human heads.

"Sayoko, what do you want me to see?" After briefly glancing at the heads, I turned my attention back to Sayoko.

Sayoko heard my question and did not answer. Instead, she walked directly to the row of heads on the left side of the room, and then reached out and grabbed the head of one of the humanoid creatures. This is the head of a very beautiful woman, with a rather cold facial expression. She has long red hair with a little sparkle and looks very beautiful. I doubt Zeus's purpose in collecting this head. However, Sayoko didn't let me think for too long. She directly opened the lower half of the beauty's head. Then he reached in and pressed lightly on the beauty's upper jaw, only to hear a click. There was a sudden sound on the wall behind the desk, and a circle of golden lines suddenly lit up on the originally tight wall. These lines create the feeling of a door frame. It just surrounded the entire bookshelf, and then the semicircular staircase under the bookshelf actually rotated, and the bookshelf also turned into the wall, and the other side that was originally hidden behind the wall was revealed.

"This is……?"

"It seems to be the secret key of some kind of mechanism." I quickly walked around the desk and walked to the semicircular staircase that was originally the bookshelf. The thing now turned out here has a picture frame with ornate decoration on the outside, and the middle part is a metal plate. This metal plate is densely covered with various lines, which looks quite complicated, and whenever the lines intersect, there must be a hole at the intersection, which looks like something can be inserted into it.

After staring at these holes for a while, I suddenly reacted. I quickly took out the metal rod I just got from my body, and then traced the holes on the wall. The size was just right, but maybe it was because I didn't choose to the correct hole, so it can't be inserted.

"What you have in your hand should be the key, but how do we crack it if it's so complicated?" Wei Na asked.

Vina's words left me unable to answer, because I was also looking at that thing worried. This thing looks small in area, only one meter high and less than 60 centimeters wide, but there are more than thirty lines on its surface, and the number of intersections on it exceeds three digits. Don't say I don't If you know what rules this thing is opened according to, even if you know it, you may make a mistake when opening it. After all, there are no numbers on the dense holes, so it is difficult to find it right at the first time.

"Such a complicated thing should not be opened by Zeus." Starfire's voice suddenly came from the door. Behind her were the four mobile Angels. Apparently they had solved the suction cup problem. At this time, Xinghuo walked towards us and said: "According to the information we received before, Zeus is an uneducated barbarian. It is impossible for him to understand such a complicated mechanism, so I think even if this thing is to open a secret mechanism , and it is definitely not the secret of the core of divine power.”

"Yes, yes." Peacock also said: "This stick was turned out of the bottle. Since the stick was caught by the corpse in the bottle, it means that Zeus did not find it before, which means that Zeus actually also hit it. Don’t open here.”

"But isn't it strange that there is a door in Zeus's room that he cannot open?" Weiner asked.

I thought for a while and said: "Maybe that's the case. After all, Zeus was not the founder of the Olympus Protoss. And this place was not built by Zeus. I think this mechanism should have been there before Zeus got here. And Zeus did not obtain the title of God King of Olympus through formal channels, so he may not inherit all the inheritance of the Olympus Gods. There might be something behind this thing that Zeus has never obtained. thing."

"Then I think we don't need to waste time on this. The core of divine power is what we need to focus on." Wei Na said.

I nodded and said: "Ignore this for now, let's go find the core of divine power."

Before I could even finish my words, I heard Ling's voice: "Do you think it's possible that the core of divine power is underground?"

Following Ling's voice, our eyes naturally turned around, and we found that Ling was standing on the desk at this time, and a magic circle actually lit up on the tabletop of the desk. Although I am not specialized in magic patterns and don’t know much about these things, the magic patterns on the table are so simple that even I can understand them. This magic circle is a segmentation magic, which is a commonly used disguise method for secret doors. The reason why secret doors are exposed is often because the door cracks are not tight. Being seen by others. But this magic can temporarily bond the two objects that were originally separated without leaving any gaps. As long as the magic is input to activate the magic circle, the two objects will be separated again. so. This magic is most commonly used to disguise the cracks of secret doors. At this time, a magic circle appeared on the table at Ling's feet, indicating that the circle in the middle of the table should be separated from the table, so it was probably a secret passage.

"Try to activate it." Wei Na said.

I quickly grabbed Ling and said, "Let's let Fei Dart go down first. At least he will be able to run away more easily if there is danger."

Ling nodded and stepped aside, stepping back outside the circle. Then I summoned the dart and placed it inside the circle. Then Ling tapped the edge of the magic circle with his staff, and the entire magic circle suddenly lit up. Then he saw that the tabletop where the darts were standing suddenly vibrated and popped up, and then began to rotate and fall. Gradually it sank into the table and left a round hole in the table. Seeing this, I quickly jumped on the table and looked down from the hole, and saw a vertical well below. And it goes all the way down.

"That's wrong." Peacock shouted, "This is the second floor. Where does this hole lead to? I didn't see such a passage on the first floor just now?"

Before I could answer, one of the mobile angels said first: "According to the size comparison. This position is just below the pillar in the first floor hall. This passage should go from the middle of the pillar through the first floor hall deep into Underground."

"No wonder we didn't find the basement entrance on the first floor!"

While we were talking above, the disc the dart was riding on had already dropped a hundred meters deep, and it didn't seem to have reached the bottom yet. Later, in order to facilitate observation, I even asked Xiaochun to throw a row of suspended lighting techniques down. The entire passage was illuminated with light.

The passage finally extended downward for nearly three or four kilometers to the end, and the information from the dart showed that there was a small room below, without guards.

Now that we know it's relatively safe down there, we naturally have to go in and have a look. But the rotating platform had already been lowered, so we had to go down by ourselves. Fortunately, this passage is straight down, we just need to jump directly. Although the height of three or four kilometers is very high, we can slow down by supporting the passage walls on both sides. The passage walls of this passage are not smooth and not wide. Even ordinary people with better physical strength can hold the passage with bare hands. Climb up the wall, let alone senior people like us in the game?

Leaving a few Qilin warriors on guard above and putting away the other familiars, I quickly went down to the bottom of the cave, followed by Wei Na, the others, and the mobile angels.

Below, as seen by Shui Dart, is a stone room, which looks like it is at most twenty square meters. The four walls surrounding the room are made of natural rock and appear to have been carved out of the mountain. Judging from the vertical descent channel, our current location should actually be considered under Mount Olympus.

Although the four walls of the room were made of rocks, there was a door on one of the walls. The door was made of metal, and the surface was very rusty, but the door handle was quite shiny. Apparently people had been using the handle a lot, so the rust had been worn away.

Because we didn't know what was behind the door, we didn't say anything after we came down. None of the rookies present knew that caution was needed at this time. It wasn't until everyone was ready that Vina signaled for me to open the door. I nodded and pointed at the door to one of the mobile angels. The Mobile Angel immediately walked quietly to the door and grabbed the door handle. Then the other three Mobile Angels took out their weapons and stood with me on the other side of the door, ready to rush in at any time.

I stretched out my hand to start the three-two-one countdown. When I retracted the last finger and clenched my fist, the mobile angel holding the door handle immediately opened the door that looked a bit narrow at a relatively gentle speed. It was a small metal door, and Lin Wai's three mobile Angels and I moved quickly to keep an eye on the movement behind the door.

Sure enough, our caution was not in vain at all. The moment the door opened, a golden figure appeared on the other side of the door. The guy was stunned for a moment when he saw us, obviously very surprised. But the next second he reacted and quickly took out a magic crystal and smashed it to the ground. However, just when the crystal was about to touch the ground, a white shadow flashed past, and then the crystal disappeared.

"Good darts." I praised the darts and rushed over to the guy opposite while he was still surprised.

Because according to normal thinking. Those who can be sent to guard such a place must be trustworthy elites, so when I jumped out, I used all my strength, and I had already thought about how to change my next move after being blocked. However, the result made me feel like I was slamming the door with all my strength but found that the door was unlocked. Although the guy's strength was not too weak. But it's really far from what I imagined. Not only did I knock him down in one go, but if I hadn't thought he was very strong and had no intention of hurting him when I first came up, I could have killed him now. It's a pity because the move is wrong. The result was just that he was knocked away.

I was stunned for a moment when I saw that guy being knocked away seven or eight meters and then hitting the wall with a bang. Fortunately, the mobile angel that followed me in did not lose its chain. When I was in a daze, it had already rushed in and instantly stopped several other targets who wanted to attack me. Then the two sides started fighting.

Although I was stunned for a moment, it didn't last long. I reacted after a half-second pause, and then quickly turned around to bypass the fighting mobile angels and the enemy on the opposite side, and rushed towards the guys running behind me. Go up.

With my previous experience, I won't make any mistakes this time. I'll hit it with a killer move. When I saw the first guy running over, I raised my hand and shot a crossbow arrow. The guy reacted quickly. As soon as he raised his arm, he used the armor on the outside of his arm to deflect the crossbow arrow. But before he could put his hand down, he felt a chill in his stomach, and then his vision began to lower, and then he fell directly on the ground. on the ground. He had indeed succeeded in blocking the crossbow with his raised hand, but it was a pity that his raised arm blocked his sight. I took advantage of this moment and suddenly accelerated to his side and cut him in half with a sword.

After two consecutive battles, I already have a general understanding of the guards here. The strength of these guys should be said to be okay, much stronger than the Saints, but not as powerful as the real Olympus Protoss, and they can probably reach the level of the weakest group of people in the real Olympus Protoss. However, the equipment and fighting methods of these people do not look like the Olympus Protoss. The most important thing is that I do not feel divine power in them.

Even the genuine Olympus Protoss, except for the top group, most of them are no match for me. The group in front of us, which can only be counted as the last among the genuine Olympus Protoss, is naturally no match. Moreover, as the Mobile Angel and I broke in, Vina and the others also came in. These guys without divine power will be in trouble immediately against the regular gods. There were more than twenty guards in the whole room, and they all fell down after holding on for less than fifteen seconds.

"These don't look like the Olympians, do they?" Peacock asked me after taking care of all these people.

I nodded and replied: "This is also the first time I have seen this kind of existence, but I heard Aphrodite say before that these should be divine warriors."

"God Warrior? An advanced version of Saint Warrior?" Vina guessed the answer immediately.

"It can't be said to be an advanced version. In fact, there is no difference between the God Warrior and the Saint Warrior in essence. It's just that the Saint Warrior wears holy clothes, while the God Warrior wears the same divine armor as the genuine Olympus Protoss. . You can understand it as a heavy-duty Saint." rq! .
