Chapter 552

Treasure hunt can be described as the most fascinating setting in RPG Games. Different people have different opinions on which side is more important, the process or the result.

Some players are not interested in what the final treasure is. What matters is the process of treasure hunting. They will find something more precious than treasure in the process, happiness.

Well, it depends on how you understand this sentence. If you want to be dirty, don't blame me for not reminding you

An Yizhi belongs to an insatiable type that is important to both sides. He enjoys the process of treasure hunting and the benefits of treasure. He should grasp both hands and be hard... How does he feel a little dirty?

"Empty?"

But this time he was disappointed and came to the hole in the middle of the study. He saw a long strip-shaped space split on the original wooden floor, which was empty.

Reaching out and touching it, I felt the cold, metal bottom plate and slightly greasy feel.

"Oil?"

Smell it. It tastes like.

It took a long time to open the mechanism and found that it was empty, which could not be accepted by an Yizhi. Although it is possible that other guests found and took things here first, how can they deserve the reputation of scraping the ground three feet and peeling the skin?

——It's a good reputation

He groped along the edge in the hole under the floor, and then came across something like a handle, about a finger long, with a smooth feel of polished metal.

Ann Yizhi's spirit was shocked. It may be the switch of a mechanism, but be careful. Maybe the floor will close as soon as she breaks down. At that time, Ann Yizhi can pretend to be Captain Hook with an iron hook

He concentrated, prepared to escape quickly in case of danger, and then broke it hard.

After listening to the sound of gears biting, the hole under the floor opened again, revealing white light from below.

There was no danger. Ann pointed down the open hole and looked down.

"This is... The concert hall on the first floor?"

The dining room and the concert hall occupy a very large space. They occupy part of the space on the second floor. In addition, the study is just above them, so the music hall below can be seen from the opening on the floor of the study.

"This hole... Is for the maintenance of the swan in the concert hall?"

There is a huge mechanical Swan clock in the concert hall on the first floor, which is sealed in four glass walls. An Yizhi wondered at first that there was no entrance. What if it broke down or fell dust? It seems that he can do maintenance by putting a ladder down from here in the study.

"I admit that having an entrance on the glass wall will affect the beauty, but there is no need to make such a mechanism, just to help maintain the mechanical Swan downstairs?"

It's hard to imagine what the owner here was thinking. An Yi pointed at it and didn't find anything unusual, so he broke the mechanism again to close the hole.

I feel that this hole is more than that. Maybe there is something worth exploring on the mechanical swan, but an Yi points out that she doesn't have a ladder at hand and can't go down. If she jumps directly, she may be half paralyzed, so she has to give up.

In other words, this mechanism seems to hurt, but it also shows Edward's exquisite mechanical manufacturing ability without friends. After the opening is closed, there is no gap at all. Only by carefully groping with his hands can he touch a little edge. Such fine parts processing usually requires very high-end CNC machine tools, Now, in the 1930s, even electronic computers did not appear in the farting CNC machine tools. It can be seen that they were all made by hand.

Anyi was a little convinced of the rumors heard from anasta about how magical Edward's machinery was. This fineness alone was enough to stand out from the crowd.

What is the use of the hole in the middle of the room is still unknown. There is no clue or hint. An Yizhi had to go to the hole near the single sofa to have a look.

He was not disappointed this time.

It's a long depression much smaller than the previous hole, about the size of a book. There are things in it, but it's... A book?

To be honest, Ann is not sure, because he is more like a delicate clock or some kind of precise automatic machine than a book.

It is about ten centimeters long and five or six centimeters wide. It is more like a small notepad than a book. But its cover has many running brass gears, and even a key shaped spring on the spine. In the upper left corner, there is a row of metal sheets that keep turning, and each metal sheet is engraved with numbers.

An Yizhi opens the copy option and sees that the system time is exactly the same as the time displayed on the metal sheet.

When you hold it in your hand, it feels more like a metal block than a book, with the same weight and feel.

Immediately, he placed the spine of the book in front of him, and drew a circle of things indicating the time around the key spring. Now the position of the spring is 0, and there are 10, 20.30 and so on next door until 60. It gives him a feeling like a mechanical timer on an old home appliance.

It looks so chic. I guess it should be a good thing?

An Yi refers to opening item attributes.

[letter of mechanism]

Attribute: strange object

Grade: perfect

Effect: twist the spring to select the time, and input magic to summon a controllable magic image to help fight. The level of the magic image is equivalent to that of the holder, and the maximum level is no more than 40. The duration depends on the time selected by the spring, and shall not exceed 1 hour (60 minutes).

Description: it is an ancient and exquisite book, but it does not record any words.

Equipment conditions: character level 25, limited to any human or Elf race.

The book of this mechanism... To be honest, it feels very subtle.

Although it's good to summon a magic image with a maximum level of 40 to help fight, it's not so practical for an Yizhi.

As a meat shield, he has Graeme. Although Graeme is now at full level 30, he is rough and fleshy. Generally, he doesn't need to change when he uses level 50 in battle. In addition, his secret silver robe also has the skill of "refining seven rings into an array". He can summon all alchemical creatures from the rock peak Titan to the iron demon statue in about ten minutes, In terms of practical value, I don't know where it is higher than the book of this organ.

The only advantage is that it starts faster, right? But in this regard, he has the Pearl of death, which can summon level 40 bone dragons

It's a pity to give up meat when you eat it. It's very chicken ribs.

However, the final equipment condition of this book is a bit surprising. It is only limited to humans. It is a little strange for races such as elves to use.

Generally speaking, race limited equipment is weapons or armor.

For example, the dwarf's famous weapon, the dwarf Tomahawk, can only be used by dwarves. Other races can't equip it at all. Even if they reluctantly hold it, they can't exert their power.

This is because the dwarf Tomahawk is specially designed for the height and shape of dwarves. If humans use it, it will be awkward and easy to hit their own feet.

As for halflings and dwarfs who are about the same height as dwarves... They can't hold them.

But such racial restrictions rarely appear on wonders.

This is a strange place, but Ann didn't care too much. It's the so-called mule that is pulled out by horse. At that time, just try and know the reason.

Of course, this will wait until the copy is cleared.

Although the mechanism book is a little heavy, it is not big, just the size of a notebook. Put it into the pocket on the inside of the suit, and an touched it with a finger, feeling insignificant.

A perfect item was harvested. Even if it was chicken ribs, it was a good harvest after all. Especially for the copy of ordinary difficulty, an Yizhi was quite satisfied.

However, there was more than a mechanism book in the depression. He also found a note under the mechanism book.

Ann took it out and sniffed it under her nose. I can also smell the faint aroma of paper and ink. It's estimated that it hasn't been here long, that is, recently.

He opened the note and wrote a large string of English in beautiful fancy characters. Fortunately, it had a systematic translation, otherwise an could only scratch the wall and catch the blind.

——Learning slag who can't remember 24 or 26 letters is such a tragedy

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you on discovering the treasure I have hidden, but unfortunately, what you have obtained is only one of my works. Although it is valuable, it is by no means my real wealth. She still sleeps in my mansion until someone wakes it up."

Signed by Edward pickers.

The book of mechanism is Edward's work. So does Edward know some magic?

This possibility is very high, but as mentioned above, it does not rule out that an excellent craftsman like him naturally has all kinds of incredible magical effects in his painstaking works, so we can't rashly infer that this copy is an unscientific copy covered with science for the time being.

But

"She? Sleepy? The Adjective..."

Generally, sleeping is used to describe people or animals. Of course, it can also be used to describe countries and so on. However, the word "sleeping" is a anthropomorphic adjective. It seems a little wrong to use it to describe objects, especially when it is followed by "awakening".

Or did Edward love his work to the extent that he regarded it as his own child?

It is possible that many great craftsmen and writers have this in common.

But the previous sentence 'the treasure I hid' makes this inference less tenable. The mechanism book is regarded by Edward as a 'treasure' and an object, not a child who sees it as his own

There are some contradictions in the rhetoric before and after. Maybe it's a clue.

An Yizhi sandwiched the note in his Notepad, turned his head and reset the mechanism, and then confirmed that there was nothing worth searching in the study, so he went out of the study.

At this time, Tu Hongyu stepped up the three-story stairs and happened to see an Yizhi coming out of the study.

"Did you find any clues?"

Tu Hongyu asked.

Ann covered her face with one finger and one hand, revealing only one eye and issuing a deep Laughter:

"Ku Ku... It's interesting that the wisdom of a mere mortal dares to challenge me. It's really interesting."

Tu Hongyu: "

Is there any strange switch on for the second disease in this middle school?
