Azeroth Monster Manual

#174 - Decryption Game

Selena walked aimlessly along the slippery path. Just when she thought she was lost, a wooden cabin appeared in her sight.

Selena walked into the depths of this forest without hesitation, hoping to obtain some useful clues.

The cabin seemed to be made of oak and had been around for some time. The rough eaves showed no signs of polishing but were unusually smooth, likely the work of nature.

The door of the cabin was silently open, and Selena walked in after only a moment's hesitation.

As soon as she entered the cabin, a strange triangular table came into the young girl's view. Selena curiously walked over and discovered a glass vase on the table.

Picking up the vase, she carefully examined the mouth of the bottle, but to her disappointment, there were no useful clues such as notes left in the vase.

She shook it carefully, but it was empty.

Helplessly placing the vase back in its original position, she began to continue searching. From the moment she stepped into the hall and came to this unknown jungle, the girl's intelligence had already guessed that the so-called test had begun.

Selena had always believed that the content of the test was likely to be some powerful magical beasts and trolls, allowing these applicants to fight to test their strength.

Therefore, she had always been cautious and worried, and even cast more than a dozen enhancement spells on herself in order to prevent sudden attacks from the unknown.

But along the way, nothing unusual was discovered. She even felt at one point that this was just an ordinary primeval forest.

The girl helplessly retreated from the cabin and continued forward along the only path.

Time passed quietly, and Selena arrived in front of a waterfall.

Admiring the magnificent waterfall, the girl's heart suddenly calmed down for some reason. She closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare moment of leisure.

Bright sunlight dappled down from the tall canopy of trees. The girl could clearly hear the crisp chirping of birds in the air. A gentle breeze caressed her hair, and the waterfall cascaded down from above. All of this seemed to remind her that these were real and not illusions.

Selena opened her eyes but was dazzled by a ray of dazzling golden light. Her pale little hand shielded her eyes, and the girl squinted through her fingers, discovering that there was a small golden spot at the bottom of the pool not far ahead, reflecting a dazzling light under the refraction of the sun.

Pale purple arcane energy flickered, and an invisible hand reached into the bottom of the pool, grabbing the mysterious 'light spot' and bringing it to Selena.

Selena dissipated the magic of the mage's hand and carefully examined the object in her hand.

"This is... a key? It should be prepared for the next test."

She carefully put away the key, as this ordinary key might be related to the next test.

In this way, the girl continued to move forward. Time passed imperceptibly, and the sunlight overhead gradually shifted and became softer.

An old and decaying castle appeared in front of the girl, but strangely, the castle gate was tightly closed. The girl only tried a few times before giving up the idea of destroying the gate and instead circled around the castle.

"This key isn't a tool to open the castle gate?"

"For some reason, this castle always gives me a feeling of decay and ruin, making me feel very uncomfortable."

Selena muttered to herself. In the time she was stunned, she finally circled around to the back of the castle.

At this moment, vibrant colors, a riot of colors......

A flower garden filled with flowers broke into her world, forming a sharp contrast with the cold-colored, gloomy castle behind her, impacting Selena's heart invisibly.

She walked into the garden blankly, not even noticing the wooden box under her feet.

Gently smelling the rose in her hand, Selena squinted her eyes, only feeling a pink dream gradually rising in her heart, which made her fair little face also dyed with a faint blush.

"Ouch!"

She accidentally tripped over the box behind her.

"It hurts..."

The girl supported her body with her left hand while blowing on her swollen right palm, whimpering in pain.

"How strange, how can there be a... box here? This box is made of metal."

With difficulty, the girl lifted the box up, but found nothing. The girl threw the box on the ground with force, as if venting the anger of just falling down.

She searched a few more times, unwilling to give up, but after a long time, Selena finally gave up, panting and slumped on the ground, her face full of helplessness.

Angrily kicking the metal box under her feet, the girl encouraged herself:

"Selena, you can do it. You will definitely be able to walk to that young man's side. The Brotherhood is the first step you take! Come on, come on, come on!"

Shouting embarrassing slogans, the girl thus re-embarked on the unknown road full of energy.

Mr. Heavy Punch scratched his butt and sat on the ground with a look of frustration, while Martina sat on his shoulders and kept cheering him on.

"Daddy, don't worry, you will definitely pass the level smoothly. Haven't we already got the key? That key must be the key to open the treasure. When we get those golden treasures and give them to that handsome big brother, he will definitely agree to you joining. Then we will have a big house to live in!"

The more Martina said, the happier she became, and in the end, she even started cheering.

Will. Heavy Punch smiled wryly and rubbed the little girl's head. The little girl's thoughts were always so simple.

'If it were really like what Martina said, that would be great, but obviously this test is not that simple'

Mr. Heavy Punch and Martina also entered this unusually peaceful primeval forest and experienced the same 'test' as Selena: the wooden cabin, the waterfall, the key, the castle, and the flower garden.

But strangely, although Will and Selena experienced the same scenes, some details were very different. For example, when Selena saw the wooden cabin, the table in the wooden cabin was triangular, while Will's was oval.

As for the vase on the wooden table, Selena held it in her hand and found it was an empty bottle, while Will's vase was full of clear water.

There were many more of these details, and even in each scene, the clues the two sides came into contact with were different.

...

Will and Martina had already left the flower garden and arrived under a metal bridge.

Martina touched the cold metal bridge with her small hand, making a crisp 'giggle' sound from time to time, while Will was collecting clues more solemnly.

It had been a full day since they came to this unknown place, and even the honest and straightforward minotaur had discovered the thorny nature of this 'test'.

If it was just a test of force, Mr. Heavy Punch would have the confidence to defeat all the enemies with his iron fists, even if facing twice the number of enemies, but this 'test' was obviously beyond the scope.

Because it involved the minotaur's weakness - this was a decryption-type 'test', or rather, a game.
