Chapter 484 How to Extinguish the Torch

There is a reason why the word ‘fine iron’ is mentioned with such emphasis!

The elves are not considered rich, but without exception, each elf is equipped with a sword that is as sharp as iron. The raw materials of the sword are all medium-grade fine steel.

It is said that no matter what profession the elf will choose in the end, he will wear this sword with him before fighting. The masked female elf once told me that the meaning of this sword is not only fighting, but also a symbol of status. .

When I yelled those words, I felt the fighting spirit in the eyes of the elves around me instantly grow stronger. Their swords intertwined with a rain of swords, slashing at the invading puppets. In an instant, the murderous puppets were chopped down. Everything is broken.

I frowned, looking at the scattered parts and broken weapons on the ground, and wondered in my heart: "It was still motionless when I just looked at it, why did it suddenly come to life?"

"Xiao Yi, are you okay?"

As soon as I turned my head, the three Phoenix girls came up to me, all of them looking worried.

I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, don't worry, you won't be able to hurt me to this extent."

After saying that, he squatted down, looked troubled again, and said to himself: "It's just..."

"Just what?"

Looking up, the masked female elf was replacing the sword into its scabbard.

"Just when I passed by, they didn't move. Just when I turned around to inform you, they attacked me."

"Could it be affected by the sound?" the masked female elf asked.

"No," I shook my head and said, "If sound could affect them, the sound produced during the fight would have awakened all the other dolls in the cave."

"What could that be?" The masked female elf also fell into deep thought.

"Light?"

Beside me, a milky voice came into my ears.

"Huh?" As if a thunderbolt flashed through my mind, I suddenly turned around, gently put my arms on Phoenix's shoulders, and said, "What did you just say?"

Phoenix tilted his little head and said with a cute look on his face: "I said... light."

"Light" my eyes suddenly lit up and I said: "Yes, it is light, it must be light!"

I turned around and said to the masked female elf: "There are only two ways to suddenly activate the puppet. If it's not the sound, then it must be the light!"

With that said, he took the bright stick from before, strode over again, and moved the shiny end slightly closer to the puppet.

Sure enough, there was a mechanical clicking sound, and several more dolls came to life!

After a brief battle, we began to discuss how to pass through this tunnel.

There are two main points in the plan: first, fight through the light one layer at a time; second, feel through the darkness.

The first method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it is convenient to deal with some emergencies; the second method can avoid fighting with the doll, but it is difficult to take appropriate measures in case of any sudden situation.

The masked female elf is more keen on the second point. She believes that this is a raid with limited supplies and resources. It is necessary to use the limited resources to maximize their potential. If they can rush to the deepest part of the tomb in one go, then It's the best.

The three Phoenix girls believe that doing it bit by bit is the safest option. The supplies are enough to last for several days anyway, so there is no need to be too hasty.

The two sides were arguing endlessly, while I squatted aside and studied the dolls scattered on the ground.

The body joints of each doll are almost made of the same material. They look rough, but are actually extremely flexible. However, this kind of material is neither gold nor wood. I have never seen it before, so I became curious and picked up a few. block and throw it into the backpack.

Just at this moment, the masked female elf asked: "An Xiaoyi, don't just run away, come here and give me some advice!"

I responded, stood up, and walked over.

"Tell me your opinion," the masked female elf said, "Do you agree to smear the past, or do you agree to light up the past and fight it bit by bit?"

I held my chin and thought for a while, then said, "Have you forgotten that there was a group of people walking past in front of us?"

The masked female elf's eyes were filled with confusion.

Cagalli also nodded slightly.

Phoenix still looked cute.

Barbara slapped her forehead and stuck out her tongue: "Oh, I forgot~"

As expected of a close relative of cats, they don’t forget to show off their cuteness at this time.

"And I guess that the first group of people should have some knowledge and understanding of the mausoleum."

"Why do you see it?" the masked female elf asked.

"Even the most cautious elves will try to hit the suddenly closed door a few times, let alone other races."

"What if they also break through the gate?"

"How many adventurers do you think there are in Ai Rui City who are more agile than the members of the Silver Wing Guild, one of the five major guilds in the mainland?" I said seriously: "Furthermore, do you think that testing the gate is something that can only be done by other races? Would you let a trained warrior do it?"

I turned my attention to the three women. Phoenix and Barbara looked confused. Cagalli shook her head slightly: "No, if it were me, I would definitely ask someone who has nothing to do with them to act as cannon fodder."

I turned my head to the masked female elf again and said: "Understood, since the previous team did not leave any traces at the entrance, that is to say, they knew that the door would automatically close after entering, So I wonder if they also know which is the real entrance."

Seeing that the four girls were nodding, I continued: "Based on the previous female elf's statement to Ancient Airui City, I believe that the analysis I made is not wrong. In other words, the only real entrance is this and the painting. The one with the long-tailed monster.”

The masked female elf frowned slightly and said, "What you said is the same as what you said when you chose the entrance."

"No, no, no," I waved my hand and said, "You misunderstood, these are two completely different words, and the meanings they convey are also completely different."

"Okay, what do you want to express with this statement?"

The masked female elf's tone was a little impatient, and Phoenix said a little displeased: "Listen to what Xiaoyi has to say!"

I smiled at Phoenix, then turned to the masked female elf and said, "Is this stick in your hand that can automatically light up and go out, a specialty that only your elves have?"

"Yes."

"Do other races have such a thing?" I thought for a while and then added: "It should be easy to carry, not a large lighting device like a magic lamp."

The masked female elf thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."

There was a black line on my forehead and I felt a little weak, so I said, "In this way, you have lived in Airui City for so long, have you ever seen similar equipment?"

She shook her head: "No."

I sighed and continued: "That's right. Currently, the most used lighting tools in Airui City are torches. So I would like to ask everyone, what method will you use if you want to extinguish the torches?"

All the elves, look at me and I look at you. Together with the masked female elf, they shook their heads at me.

I:
