【Chapter 522】 Activation
A tall arch, the stone door painted with runes, is locked, and the mesh is a star plate composed of three rings. Yiluli groped carefully about the gaps in the star plate and felt the hardships generated by the years.
"The energy ring can barely operate, there should be no problem." Hadillys walked over, looked at the ring, and nodded: "This is a special star ring door lock. The position of the star map is only controlled by the licensed spire watchers and the prophets. It is the gate leading to the upper staircase control of the ring and the lower rune secret library."
"Can you untie it?"
"I'll try it."
With the light of the shield, Hadillys patiently observed for a while, gently put his hand on and twisted it.
Under Yiluli's gaze, the three rings changed positions and made no sound. However, a ray of light burst out from the center of the ring, illuminating the entire ring along the star pattern.
"Unlocked!"
Hadillys looked full of joy and gently pushed it with her hand. The heavy stone door made a creaking sound, barely opening the two of them.
Perhaps because the sealing time was too long, the air pressure inside and outside was different, a cold wind rushed out of the door, blew the hair of the two.
Yiluli sniffed carefully, with a slight slight decay and deteriorating smell: "Wait for a moment, Hardelis. The air inside was from thousands of years ago, ventilate first and then go in."
"OK."
After waiting patiently for a while, they looked at each other and walked in carefully. The stone door connected to a small room, with a stone cabinet placed near the wall, and also a star ring door lock.
"This is a cabinet that records the amount of rune stone storage." Hadillys briefly explained while comparing the star map and twisting the door lock: "Because the spire has the ability to attack, it is a place where the star secret meets strictly. People entering and leaving, consumption, stored rune stones, etc. must be registered for reference."
"It's just convenient for us to check if there is still any rune stone inventory."
As soon as Yiluli finished speaking, Hadilly opened the cabinet door and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I can't."
The ones used to record in the cabinet should be paper or leather books, which are beyond recognition in the erosion of time, with only one shape. The moment the cabinet door opens, air pours in and turns into a ball of powder.
"Uh~~" Yi Luli scratched her head: "It seems that she still has to rely on herself."
On both sides of the stone cabinet are two spiral stairs? One leads to the upper level? The other leads to the lower level.
"The energy rings on the lower level are intact, and the stone gates are intact. I don't think it's a big problem to control the rings." Hadillys pointed to the stairs leading to the lower level: "Let's go to the Rune Secretariat first? Check the rune stone."
The two of them went down the stairs? After three turns, they found about five or six meters underground? A huge stone door appeared, and the star ring door locked with nine rings was enough to prove its importance.
"The door lock is complete! There is hope!"
Is Karadil the Prophet of the Star Search? He controls the most comprehensive starry sky pattern, and the star map with the Nine Ring Door Lock is not at all difficult for Hadillys.
The light flashed, illuminating their cheeks. Under the powerful force of Yiluli, the heavy stone doors separated to both sides? Exposing the whole picture inside, rows of seven or eight layers of stone grilles were neatly placed in the secret library, with four rows.
But after just one look, their hearts became a little cold.
Is the grille clean? There is no dust.
"My God, it's all empty!" Yi Luli was stunned? Her heart was cold.
In addition to lamenting the incredibleness of the secret library's perfect sealing nature, it is more frustrating. Is it too clean? There are no rune stones in the clean.
"This...it seems that our luck is not very good." Hadilly's eyes were filled with disappointment, and he looked along the grille step by step: "In the period of fighting against Kandussreta? These star spires are very expensive? It is reasonable to have no runes...and wait."
Before he finished speaking? Hadilly saw a row of grilles in the deepest place, neatly placed dozens of prisms as thick as arms.
"Yulli! We are not that unlucky!"
Hadilly recognized it at a glance, and it was the rune stone. He immediately ran over in surprise. The rune stone was a square prismatic body with a square bottom. It was about the thickness of the arm, as long as one foot, and the six sides were carved with exquisite rune patterns.
Yiluli breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh~ I thought it was a waste of time!"
"There are five in a row, there are seven rows in total." Hardilles counted all the way, and the huge rune secret library had hundreds of grilles, leaving only seven rows.
But this is exciting enough.
"Is it enough?" Yiluli asked hurriedly: "How many rune stones are needed to drive such a large spire?"
"It is not enough to get the spire to reach a full load state. But there is no problem to make it run. This involves the design of the spire. The energy of the suppression beam itself is controllable, depending on the number of runes. The control ring we just saw is to control the energy intensity."
"You mean, it can be used. But...it's limited power?"
Yiluli was about to continue asking questions when a squirming bird suddenly came from her ears. She gestured to Hadillys to silence and pricked up her ears.
It was the roar of the night owls in the jungle, with short and coherent tone, followed by the long calls of pearl birds.
Yiluli put her fingers on her lips, and she sucked her lips and made a cheerful oriole sound in response.
Hadillys, who had just picked up a rune stone, looked at her nervously.
After the brief exchange, Yiluli hurriedly said: "The danger is approaching. Lena reminds us to hurry up and if we can't deal with it, we need to retreat immediately."
"Help me transport the rune stone to the energy hall! Yiluli." Time was tight, and Hadilly was obviously unwilling to give up this opportunity, so he grabbed the rune stone in the grille in a hurry.
"The rune stone still needs to be activated before it can be used!"
As Hadillys reminded, the two of them panickedly grabbed as many runes as possible into their arms, and trotted back to the energy hall.
"Hadillys, you're here to activate. I'll take the rest!"
"good!"
The rune stone fell on the round platform in a rush. Hadillys used all his strength to move the energy ring. With a crisp sound, three rings around the ring rose up, revealing grooves, and there were still rune stones with energy exhausted remaining in the grooves.
Hadillys pulled out two of them and threw them in place, picked up the rune stone that he had just taken out. In the center of the bottom of the two ends of the rune stone, there were double-layer star rings, which were the key to unsealing the seal.
Bows left and right, the star rings at both ends return to their positions at the same time, and a beam of azure blue light lit up along the runes on the edges.
With a click, the rune stone was accurately placed into the groove.
The next step was to repeat this process differently, and Yiluli tried her best to shuttle between the energy hall and the rune secret library, carrying rune stones.
A total of thirty-five rune stones, barely filling one-third of the energy ring, is the last energy of this star spire.
When the star ring rotates and resets, the rune stones press into it, and light flashes alternately, and the runes that were dim for thousands of years were filled with light again.
The entire energy hall was illuminated, and the path under the energy ring guided the power of the stars into the runes on the wall, flashing alternately, like a column of light, rising upwards.
"The activation is complete, Yiluli! Go to the upper layer to control the star ring!"
...
Next to the Starlight Pinnacle, on a half-collapsed tower, Esrena hid on a broken wall on a lake, and her bright eyes were filled with anxiety.
On the ruined path leading to the starlight spire, the terrifying figure of the aggregate of resentment was slowly coming.
Twelve eyes glowing green light were mechanically patrolling.
Getting closer!
Just as her heart was about to jump to her throat, the ring lying across the stone platform suddenly burst out with a soft light on the top of the star spire not far away.
As Esrena looked, the huge runes on the outer tower were lit up.
Activation was successful.
Chapter completed!
