Chapter 1944

As a result, they gradually sped up their speed and arrived at the end of the fifth floor and found the puzzle wall standing at the end.

Moreover, there was no guardian in front of the puzzle wall on this floor.

Dak suppressed his doubts in his heart and looked at the golden wall carefully.

Unlike the puzzles on the previous puzzle walls, there were obviously more text and graphics on this puzzle wall, almost covering the entire wall.

Dak couldn't recognize it, so he could only wait for Emma's translation results.

But as the number of words in this puzzle increased, the difficulty of translation naturally increased. Emma gritted her teeth and spent a long time to complete the translation.

Then she proofread it repeatedly and showed it to Dak after confirming that it was correct.

Dak immediately came up and thought about the puzzle with her.

In this case, Malt, as a guide, was completely useless.

Alibaba, who was brought along as a "survivor of the Golden Country", was even more useless.

Dak and Emma got together to discuss, and the academic atmosphere gradually became thicker.

They did not rely too much on Claire and Professor Kazel, and the first thing they thought of was to solve the puzzle by their own ability.

The puzzle on the fifth puzzle wall is still related to alchemy, and it is ancient alchemy that is different from the theory of modern alchemy.

Although Dak and Emma have learned a lot of relevant basics from Professor Kazel's explanation, it is still quite difficult to fully understand it in such a short time and solve the problem with it.

But the puzzle on the fifth puzzle wall depicts a lot of knowledge related to ancient alchemy in the previous part.

Most of this knowledge is not even taught by Professor Kazel.

Ancient alchemy and modern alchemy cannot be said to be two routes, after all, their roots are actually the same.

But because of understanding problems or limitations of the times, they are like two curves entangled in a straight line, with overlaps, differences, and their own right and wrong, and even completely opposite understandings.

Learning two alchemy at the same time is like practicing two magics with opposing attributes at the same time, which can easily cause magic power to get out of control.

Under normal circumstances, this is actually something that should be avoided as much as possible.

As Dak gradually understood it, he became aware of this, but he still learned it.

He and Emma studied the ancient alchemy knowledge on the puzzle wall together, and then discussed the puzzle solution together.

Unknowingly, one or two hours passed.

７９７５５４１７２㈧〕÷㈤$∵㈦㈥|〃㈥·≌㈢∈√㈣←㈣㈡ Roughly speaking, it should be early morning now.

Malt and Alibaba both sat in the carriage waiting, without communicating the whole time.

Suddenly, Dak raised his hand, the speed of writing in his hand increased instantly, and then smiled and said: "There is an answer."

Emma frowned and stopped writing temporarily.

Dak then explained his answer and solution.

After confirming that it was correct, Emma wrote the answer that Dak solved on the puzzle wall.

The wall flashed with golden light and slowly rose up.

Dazzling golden light shone from the gradually widening crack in the door, reflecting on the faces of the two people, as if covered with a layer of gold foil.

Dak narrowed his eyes and looked behind the door, alert in his heart.

Emma also subconsciously reached out to touch the card bag.

[Demon King Aldridge] flashed in front of the two people in an instant, and looked behind the door with vigilance.

As the puzzle wall gradually rose, the scene behind the door finally came into view.

It was a magnificent palace with golden splendor.

The whole hall was paved with gold ornaments, which was extremely extravagant.

Even if you are used to seeing gold in this golden city, you will still be shocked when you see this palace for the first time.

Dak followed behind [Demon King Aldridge], stepped over the threshold, walked into the hall, and then saw the whole picture.

The whole hall was of course made of gold, but it was completely different from the flat walls along the way. The walls here were carved with countless complex and magnificent patterns, perfectly presenting the imagination limit of people in that era.

The columns supporting the hall were also carved with dragons and phoenixes. Countless gold ornaments hung from the ceiling. Fist-sized golden balls emitted dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire hall.

From the doorway here, on both sides of the aisle that stretched straight forward like a red carpet, stood armored soldiers holding spears.

The golden eagles of these armored soldiers stood on both sides, standing upright, looking straight ahead, emitting a faint aura of oppression.

At the front, there were rows of golden chairs, and the golden eagles of obviously higher status sat on the chairs with proper manners.

Further ahead, there was a throne on the three steps.

But at this time, no one was sitting on the throne.

"Is this hall a replica of the Golden King's palace?"

Dak retracted his gaze and looked at the nearby place again, preparing to observe it more carefully.

Since entering the Golden City, this golden palace should be the most valuable place I have encountered so far.

But as he was looking back, he suddenly noticed a circular pattern in the middle of the corridor, and a huge relief of a scale was engraved in the pattern.

Looking around, he found that the pattern of "scale" appeared very many times in this golden palace. At a glance, it was almost everywhere.

"Does this scale symbolize the Golden Kingdom or the alchemist?"

Dak couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared next to him, stepped into the golden palace, and continued to walk forward step by step.

Duck suddenly raised his head, feeling surprised.

The figures on the left and right belong to Mai Ya and Alibaba. Their behavior is obviously wrong, and it is obvious at a glance that they are under mental control.

However, the flowers of [Xiemi] still exude the floral fragrance of [Aromatherapy]. In theory, the normal abnormal state will be lifted as soon as it appears.

Unless the abnormal state exceeds the purification ability of [Aromatherapy], or it does not belong to an "abnormal state". Daily updates‖○group〕〈：⑧5∞　　　6㈥≠?３☆°④’∏private2

The above thoughts flashed through Dak's mind quickly, then he raised his hand and clapped his hands and said: "Little devil beast, devil hypnosis."

No matter what tricks Malya and Alibaba fell into, they still had to use a hypnotic wave first.

The [Little Devil Beast] took off in response, quickly circled to the front of Mai Ya and Alibaba, and then opened its mouth to send out a hypnotic wave.

The eyes of the two people, which were widened to the limit, slowly closed in the hypnosis, then stopped and fell straight down.

[Little Demon Beast] quickly supported Malya's body, and then watched helplessly as Alibaba fell to the ground.

"Bang!"

It hurts to hear it.

Dak opened his mouth and looked at Emma with a little worry, and found that Emma seemed to have been affected by some bad influences, but her mental power was strong and she could barely resist the erosion of some kind of will.

"What's going on?" Duck asked.

Emma covered her forehead and said with a slightly ugly face: "I just suddenly had an extremely strong urge to sit on the throne. Fortunately, my will is strong enough, otherwise I would be embarrassed like the two of them. "

Dak asked with concern: "Can you hold on?"

Emma put down her hand and nodded: "It's barely okay."

Dak said: "The two of them should have the same desire to sit on the throne as you. So what secrets are there on the throne?"

Emma said: "It can't be a good thing. Don't you have any feeling?"

Dak shook his head and said: "Although I don't know why, I really don't feel anything."

Emma smiled bitterly and said: "Can feelings be divided into people?"

Dak smiled and walked into the hall: "You will know after researching it."

But he walked straight towards the throne on the stage.

…

In addition to Malya and Alibaba, Ai Xi was also obviously affected, but she was caught in time by [Magical Beast: The Goddess of the Heart's Eye] and locked into the carriage.

Ash's mental strength is actually not weak, but Emma can barely resist, but Ash has no room to resist.

Therefore, the reason why Emma can hold on must not only be related to mental strength.

Correspondingly, neither Dark nor his magic elves were affected, and that was obviously not just because of their mental power.

Dak already understood this when he took a step forward.

What he also confirmed was that he would not be affected.

So he came directly to the throne and studied it carefully.

This throne made of gold is quite spacious, giving the impression that the "king" sitting on this throne is much larger than an ordinary person.

On the back of the throne, there is also a figure with the [Scale] pattern as the axis.

But other than that, there's nothing worth paying attention to.

Duck's attention quickly shifted to the pillars standing on both sides of the throne.

The two pillars are about one person tall, with an open top and a pair of scales on each side.

On the scale on the left is a golden ball.

On the right is a golden heart placed on top of the scales.

The two balances therefore tilt toward the side with the weight on them.

Duck stood by the scale on the left for a while, then suddenly reached out and pressed it on the empty weighing pan, pressing it down with a little force.

The next second, a string of things that looked like mantras poured into his mind.

He remembered it immediately and blurted out: "██████..."

Nothing happened.

Ai standing aside

Mary looked at him with confusion.

Old Dak blushed and explained: "Just now a string of mantras came into my mind, and I recited them subconsciously."

Emma's attention immediately shifted to the scale, ready to move.

Duck reminded: "It's better not to try it rashly."

Emma pinched and let go with her right hand, repeated several times before she exhaled and said, "Forget it."

Curiosity killed the cat, and some things really shouldn’t be tried easily.

She understood that she was not immune to that kind of mental interference like Dark, and if she touched the scale at will, something might happen.

It didn't matter if something happened, she mainly didn't want to hold Dak back.

Along the way, she has become like a pendant, and she doesn't want to upgrade to a burden no matter what.

After seeing that she gave up the idea of ​​touching it, Duck walked to the scale on the right and also reached out and pressed it on the empty scale with a little force.

Press this side, and the scale with the heart on that side will rise upwards.

When the two sides were even, Dak suddenly felt his heart slow down for a beat, as if a frame in the middle was suddenly deleted.

But after that, the heart beat returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

But he suddenly retracted his hand, then stretched out his index finger and stood in front of him.

As the magic power circulated, the tip of the index finger was slowly dyed with a layer of gold!

Dak's heart trembled, and the golden layer quickly faded, revealing the original state of his index finger.

"What did you get this time?" Emma asked quickly with eyes wide open.

Dak frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and then said: "There is a very special power in my heart."

Emma asked: "Alchemy that turns stone into gold?"

Dak hesitated, but still said: "It's a bit like that, but it doesn't seem to be. But I have a feeling that if you tell me the principle of turning stone into gold now, I should be able to use it."

Emma's heart moved, and said: "A special power that can turn stone into gold... Could it be that the Golden King's turning stone into gold is developed based on this special power, rather than pure alchemy?"

Dak shook his head and said: "The material itself is also part of alchemy, there is no pure or impure saying. It can only be said that without this power as a material, it may not be possible to perform the alchemy that turns stone into gold. Those golden element species should use similar power. We can temporarily name it [Golden Power]."

After Emma understood, she said enviously: "It seems that the so-called ancient alchemy of the Golden King is also based on this golden power? Just like when we activate the alchemy array, we also need magic as a basis."
