Nali took out the temple’s stone token, speaking matter-of-factly: “Aquin has too many suspicious points. I want to explore the treasury again tonight.” She lowered her eyelashes, “You’re very familiar with Aquin. If you could lend a hand… this is the price I’m offering for these stone tokens.”
The wizard stepped forward, curling his right index finger and drawing strange curves along the seat’s edge. The curves glowed faintly under his gaze.
A light click was heard, and the high seat retreated backward, revealing a hidden passage.
Gerald applied a bit of force, exposing the darkness beyond.
After wandering in darkness, Nelly and Gerald arrived at the vault door.
The green-haired wizard took out a handkerchief and wiped away sweat. “I don’t have full confidence in opening this door.”
Nelly said, “If we can’t open it, we’ll just blow it up.”
Gerald grimaced at her proposal, complaining, “Being involved with you is truly dangerous.” Despite his words, his hands didn’t stop moving. Golden threads driven by his will wandered back and forth in the door’s recesses, analyzing its structure.
In terms of the ability to read an object’s structure through magic, Gerald indeed had the right to be proud.
Nelly wasn’t idle either, gripping her familiar dagger in her right hand and holding several cross darts in her left, vigilantly monitoring the surroundings.
Gerald worked hard for a while, then sighed: “No good.”
At that moment, Nelly suddenly turned back, her dagger blocked before she could swing it.
The newcomer said with a helpless tone: “I thought I told you not to joke with your own safety.” He turned to look at Gerald and the door.
Gerald cautiously surveyed the suddenly appearing black-haired youth, stroking his chin meaningfully: “Last time, you also gave Gerald quite a start.”
“Karl…” Nelly slightly elongated her tone. Seeing the laughter in his red eyes, she glared at him and asked seriously: “Can you open this door?”
Karl smiled slightly, with a proud expression, but honestly answered: “This door can only be opened with Iza’s light stone.”
Nelly clearly saw Gerald’s mouth twitch again, regretting participating in this crazy action and having such unreliable teammates.
Karl confidently flipped his palm, revealing a pure stone the size of a pigeon egg: “But I’ve got it.”
