Chapter 309 Pythagorean Law
Xiaobai was about to start looking when he suddenly looked back at Wang: "Aren't you looking for it?"

Wang took out the staff he had just hastily taken out from the secret room of the Mind Flayer's study: "I want to identify this staff. If this is a powerful staff, it will be of great help to us in dealing with the Mind Flayer tomorrow."

Xiaobai: "What if you find out that the function of this staff is to turn people's heads into the flavor that the mind flayer likes?"

Wang: "Mind flayers have no sense of taste. Some mind flayers like to drink, but what they mainly experience is the paralysis effect caused by alcohol."

Franka: "Should I laugh hahaha at this time?"

Furu has no vocal organs, so theoretically Furu cannot laugh, but she can use telepathy to make everyone "hear" onomatopoeia.

Xiaobai shook her big head: "The mind flayer is really boring."

Franca: "I don't have a sense of taste either."

Xiaobai: "So your life - a jellyfish life, is also very boring."

Franka spiraled: "It's too much!"

Xiaobai looked at Wang: "I'm surprised you didn't complain!"

The king was studying the staff when he heard this and raised his head: "Ah? What?"

Elizabeth patted Xiao Bai's head gently: "Let him appraise the staff carefully."

"Yes, yes." Xiaobai put his hands on the back of his head and pouted, asking for trouble.

10 minutes passed quickly, and everyone in the rescue team except Marika involuntarily stopped searching the research room, while the drow were concentrating on checking the walls, trying to find the hidden compartment.

Elizabeth gathered a bunch of magic books and diaries together and piled them on the desk in front of the king, waiting for him to read them later.

Nini found a jewelry box, but there was no lock of any kind on the jewelry box, and the jewelry inside looked ordinary.

After another 10 minutes, Xiaobai lay on the ground bored, licking his belly from time to time.

Finally, the king raised his head: "This staff can provide a shared mental barrier once a day... No wonder the Mind Flayer carefully collected this thing. This thing is basically a special attack on the Mind Flayer."

Marika frowned: "Share the mental barrier? Is it the one with the ninth ring?"

Wang: "Yes, the effect of this staff can last for half an hour after it is cast. During this half hour, the mind flayer's psychic abilities are basically ineffective against us, unless he uses spells such as mage disintegration to remove all the magic from us. , otherwise its greatest advantage will be ineffective for us."

Xiaobai frowned: "Why does the mind flayer put things that are special attacks on him next to him?"

Wang: "Probably because he has betrayed the mind flayers as a blasphemer. He is afraid that he will be found by the mastermind and then be pulled into the mind flayers' network again. With this thing, he can at least buy half an hour to escape. time."

Elizabeth smiled and said, "So when we deal with the Mind Flayer tomorrow, we have an extra chance of winning?"

"More than one level. The biggest threat the Mind Flayer poses to us is his psychic ability, and the closer we get to it, the stronger this ability becomes. All of us can't help but sympathize with him and gradually become his puppet. Those who stay around him The longer the time, the better the effect.

"With this we don't have to worry about this for at least the first half hour. The remaining question is whether we can eliminate it within half an hour."

Xiaobai: "Leave it to me! I'll go up and shoot it to death. The Mind Flayer shouldn't have any physical resistance, right?"

Wang: "No. There is another good news. With the shared spiritual barrier, we are no longer afraid of the mighty gods! No longer will I be the lone hero just because someone is so powerful."

"...Congratulations?" Elizabeth said uncertainly.

Nini: "The premise is that teacher, you don't want to be like a god, and then use the staff to set up a spiritual barrier for us."

Wang: "I successfully surveyed Shenwei Ruyue the first two times, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

As soon as she finished speaking, Malika shouted: "There is a mechanism!"

Everyone looked over together and saw Marika pressing a brick on the wall. The next moment, six bricks turned over on the empty wall, each with a symbol painted on it.Marika squinted at the six symbols and exclaimed: "It's really a traditional puzzle. If nothing unexpected happens, you should press the six symbols in a specific order to open the hidden door."

"Look for the documents and logs in the room!" As soon as Wang finished speaking, he saw a pile of books, logs and documents piled on the table in front of him.

Elizabeth said proudly: "I've finished it!"

"Well done." Wang put away the psychic barrier staff in his hand and began to rummage through the pile of books. "What we are looking for is a diary or notepad. There may be clues in the research notes."

He opened a magic book: "Fortunately, it's written in common language and everyone can understand it. Let's look for it together!"

Everyone immediately joined in the search.

Franka wanted to help, but suddenly found that her tentacles could not turn the book - Furu's tentacles did not have suction cups, and it was still possible to play the piano with the tip, so it was a bit difficult to turn the book.

Franca: "Ah ah ah, I want to help, but I'm so reluctant!"

Xiaobai: "There is a book I can't understand!"

Wang immediately raised his head, dropped the magic book in his hand, and took the one she couldn't understand from Xiaobai's hand.

"This...I can't understand it either." Wang frowned, "But I can recognize it. The symbols on this and the symbols on the fake door are the same system! If I guessed correctly..."

He quickly flipped through the book, which was full of words he didn't understand, and then laughed.

Elizabeth: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's a password table!" Wang announced loudly, "If my guess is correct, the symbol on the door is the key to cracking this set of passwords, or the secret key. The owner of this tower will know how to play it."

Xiaobai was speechless: "The last master we met who was 'good at playing' was Erzam. Why did I have such an ominous premonition? This time I won't open the secret room with all the strength of two tigers, but I got another one." A spoon that can turn water into soup, right?"

Nini: “Maybe it’s a bread knife that can turn ordinary bread into butter bread?”

Elizabeth: "I'd rather have the magic box that turns dry food into cookies."

"Bah!" Xiaobai rolled his eyes, "Aren't dry food and cookies the same thing? Starches are bad guys!"

Elizabeth: "But the cookies are sweet..."

"That's also starch... Where are you going, great cleverness?"

Wang: "Of course I'll go back to the front door and look at the password form. I forgot to copy it down just now."

Nini: "I remember it, and I can draw it for you now."

"It helped a lot!" Wang said again.

Nini found a canvas, picked up a pencil and drew on it, and the pattern on the fake door was perfectly copied.

Wang turned the book to the beginning: "If I guess correctly, the first part of this diary is combined with the secret key, and you can get the hints behind the interpretation. The first part may be the Pythagorean Law, or something else that is well-known The law, combined with the cipher table, you can get a paradigm for interpretation..."

Elizabeth: "What is Pythagorean Law?"

"The architects of this plane should all understand this."

Nini: "I understand too. After all, I have learned most of Euclidean geometry."

Elizabeth: "What is Euclidean geometry?"

Nini was about to answer when Wang said loudly: "It's done! Now we can start to interpret the contents of the log!"
