Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 73 73. Nebbiolo Festival (9)

A lot of time has passed by now, but in this game, time is in some ways the most important thing, and in some ways it is meaningless.

First come, first served means that you are not racing against time, but other players.

Emma tried to approach the dolls, trying to see some clues from their earth-colored eyes.

There is no emotion on those flat faces, and they look a little sad after a long time, as if they have fallen into a long silence and darkness because they have no soul.

During the exploration, Emma had to keep on guard against the male apprentice.To her, he always seemed like a lurking danger.

It didn't look like he wanted to "sit in the same boat" with him at ease, and he seemed a little too careless when it came to finding clues, and he just followed Emma to search.

No matter where she went, he followed closely behind her for about ten meters, and Emma always felt that he was intentionally leading her into the room, not only that time when he suggested "going indoors to investigate" intentionally or unintentionally, after that, he He walked into different rooms several times, only to come out resentfully when he saw that Emma had no intention of following in.

Now, they are walking down a stairway together.Emma deliberately chose such a secluded road, hoping to see if he would violently hurt others.

With six ice flowers buckled in his hand, he was ready to deploy a defensive circle at any time.

The path was winding and winding, and the interior of the second and third floors could be seen beside it, but they were all empty.

Not only does it mean that there are no puppets, the puppets are all concentrated outdoors to perform.There is no furniture above the second floor.

Maybe there were no stairs at all, except for the first floor, which was just an empty set.After all, this is a "fake city" built for testing.Unlike the manor that can be used as a resort in the future, the rich and powerful duke doesn't need to spend money here for no reason, just to do everything.

After walking for a while, I finally saw the inner city wall that separated the next level.The arc-shaped large stone wall is made of huge rock blocks, and the smallest stone block exceeds Emma's height.Although it seems that the original appearance of the stone is maintained, and there is not much processing, the adjacent rocks are tightly attached to each other, and it seems that even a hair cannot be inserted.

"Shouldn't it just let us turn over?"

The male apprentice talked loudly to himself, breaking the silence between the two.

"Then give it a try, I will definitely not stop you."

Emma took the opportunity to instigate that if he really tried to climb over the wall, it would be beneficial and harmless.If it really turned over, she would immediately take out the paper crane and fly in.If he was attacked or punished, it would be one less hidden danger.

It's not a real partnership, why should you be polite to him.

"Hey, I'm not good at climbing, how about I shoot you a hook claw?"

After speaking, the male apprentice really raised the bow in his hand.

There is no end to this mutual temptation.

Emma ignored him and began to observe the stones on the city wall. Based on her experience in the mysterious cave on the holy mountain last time, she might be lucky enough to find a hidden secret door.

The outside of the city wall is quite lively, and there will be puppet activities every not too far.Some are hawkers setting up stalls, and some are passers-by who keep going back and forth.

Whenever she encountered these areas where there were puppet activities, Emma would investigate them very carefully.Sometimes I even deliberately chat with them a few words to see if a special plot can be triggered.

"Excuse me, do you know where the entrance to this city wall is?"

Usually after asking this sentence, the most you can get is a head-shaking response.Looking back, it was really rare for that kid to hold hands and run wildly at the very beginning. If we follow to the end, maybe we can find some clues.

Of course, it may also lead to direct elimination.

"If you buy something, I'll tell you."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Emma asked a casual question to a peddler, and after asking, she wanted to move on.This kind of questioning has basically become a fixed behavior pattern.

"I'll tell you when you buy something, the entrance to the city wall."

Emma looked at the stall in front of him, there were some brooches on it.The base is made of metal, and it is dotted with filigree filigree and some precious stones.

Except for a few insects, most of them are portrait themes.

Looking at all of them, it seems that they all depict the profile of the same person. The carvings are very rough, most of which are made of mother-of-pearl, and the rest are directly bent with metal wires to form the silhouette lines.

"who is this?"

"Lilith."

Emma raised her eyebrows, this "craftsman" really dared to talk nonsense.

"...Forget it, let's buy one, how much is it?"

"A gold coin."

Could this be a trap set by the duke? Want to save some of the investment?Emma grunted twice, and finally decided to give up.

"No more?"

The male apprentice looked surprised to see Emma going on.

"No money, do you have any?"

"No, but we can use force to force him to speak out!"

After saying that the male apprentice was about to start, Emma subconsciously blocked it.

"What, you want to rob? Don't leave! Everyone, come quickly! Call the patrol soldiers to come!"

The stall owner stood up, with his hips akimbo, looking very angry.

"He's joking, then buy it! A gold coin, right?"

Emma endured the colic in her heart, took out her purse, and poured out all the coins in it.

The vendor counted and said, "You don't have enough... Forget it, anyway, it's the first order of the day anyway, so you can just pick one."

First order?It has been delayed for so long, and Emma can't believe that no one has entered the second level until now.It seems that it is indeed not a useful key clue, the money has been robbed for nothing!
Taking a deep breath, Emma looked carefully at the pile of rough brooches again, trying to find one with a little eye-catching, at least as a souvenir of the "round tour" after being eliminated.

Wait, one looks obviously different from the others.Although the others are perfunctory by hand, they are still made of normal jewelry materials.But on that brooch, what was supported by the gold and silver thread was obviously a piece of rock.

The profile of Lilith is carved from the most common stone, and the color is very close to the stone used for the city wall.

"This, this is what I want."

Emma quickly grabbed the brooch.

"Hehe, you have a good eye. This is my proudest work."

The puppet vendor laughed, his expression stiff and unchanged, but he did let out a smug laugh.

Then, he walked to the side of the city wall and roughly pushed a "beggar" away, revealing a circular hole.

"Put it in."

Sure enough, there is still a mechanism... hidden in such a strange location.

The brooch fits into the hole and fits perfectly.There is no need to twist left and right, and a weird sound is made directly.

The irregular gap in the rock slowly opened and began to move to the sides.This seems unreasonable, because the stone in the distance doesn't seem to be deformed, where does the gap come from.

The seemingly heavy stone moved quite smoothly, except for the strange sound from the opening at the beginning, there was no noise.

Finally, a gap just enough for one person to stand and enter appeared, and there was endless darkness inside.

Is this a clearance?Is it that simple?What about the magic trial?The result is simply to leave money to buy the road?
