Chapter 414: disordered graph
Remember [New] in a second! Needless to say, what Lei Xiao thought of was naturally the strange treasure map presented by Xuan Yue in the treasure vault of Mai Lan City.
"I remember that strange and weird treasure map hidden in the hidden interlayer of a simple mahogany cabinet, it can be said to be extremely secretive.
The mountain peaks and forests on it are not only frontal, but also inverted and slanted. They are really ups and downs and disorderly.
In my spare time, I also took it out and studied it with Ye Cang and others a few times, but I still didn't have any clue.
However, a big red cross in a conspicuous position in the picture shows that it really looks like a treasure map. "
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his hand, signaled the subordinates beside him to delay their advance, and continued to think to himself: "That strange treasure map.
It's on my body now, could it be that what the mercenary just described is this picture? "
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao moved his eyes, and finally focused his gaze on the mercenaries at the table who were discussing this matter.
On the other side, there were eight mercenaries at that table, eating and drinking around a large square table full of wine and meat.
"Is there really such a magical object?"
At this time, the slightly sharp voice sounded again.
A middle-aged man in low-quality leather armor and dressed as a ranger put down the half-eaten Frost lamb leg, and grabbed the wine glass beside him.
A suspicious expression said: "Old Hei, you are probably making up stories again, aren't you?
You boy once said that you subdued a bluestone black python with your bare hands, but when you were escorting the mission last month, you let a cub go to the sky! "
"Hahaha, I remembered, this coward even peed his pants in mid-air, and almost extinguished the fireball on Lao Tzu's staff!"
On the side, another middle-aged magician in a dirty robe put down the beer mug in his hand, covered his stomach and laughed loudly: "In my opinion, although this kid is like a swordsman.
But being a bard who tells stories every day is quite appropriate! "
"Brothers, can you stop exposing my faults?" Hearing this, the messy-haired swordsman in worn-out light armor stuck his head and smiled awkwardly.
Judging from the sound, he was the mercenary who mentioned the "map of disorder" at the beginning.
After speaking, I saw him grab the wine glass, first took a big sip, and then said: "Forget it, since the brothers don't want to hear it, I won't say it."
However, at this moment.
I saw a few piles of shiny gold coins suddenly clattering on the wine table.
A young man with a soft complexion, surrounded by several followers, appeared in front of the table of mercenaries.
The person who came was none other than Lei Xiao.
On the other side, seeing the golden brilliance, all the mercenaries were taken aback for a moment, then put down their wine glasses and looked up at Lei Xiao, swallowing involuntarily.
You know, for them, the pile of golden dragons in front of them is definitely not a small number.
At the same time, Lei Xiao's extravagant move made the other mercenaries around the table all look sideways, showing surprise and reverence.
Not far away, several young waitresses carrying trays bumped into each other just to catch a glimpse of Lei Xiao.
There is no doubt that those who can come up with such a skill are likely to be common people like them, the aristocratic class that they will never be able to match in their lifetime!
All of a sudden, the group of people on our side became the absolute focus of the audience.
"Your Excellency, what are you..." Immediately afterwards, the swordsman with messy hair stood up quickly and asked cautiously.
At this time, although Lei Xiao and the subordinates behind him did not emit a trace of aura of a strong person, they were only ordinary civilians who had been transformed into ordinary clothes.
But these mercenaries who are licking blood on the knife edge every day can clearly feel it.
The young man in front of him is obviously not an ordinary person.
"It's nothing, I was just curious when I heard your Excellency mention the "Picture of Disorder". "
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao casually pushed the stacks of gold coins on the table forward.
Then he said to the swordsman with messy hair: "Just tell me about the "Picture of Discord", and these golden dragons will be yours. "
"Your Excellency, please sit down! The villain will tell you everything you know!"
On the other side, the swordsman with messy hair looked overjoyed, and quickly signaled the other mercenaries to move closer to him, giving Lei Xiao a whole side of space alone.
"Then let's get started." Lei Xiao nodded slightly as he sat in front of the messy-haired mercenary unceremoniously.
"To tell you the truth, about the Map of Discord.
It was the villain who heard an old bard talk about it after drinking during a mission not long ago. "
Slightly nodding to Lei Xiao, the mercenary with messy hair also sat back in his seat, first looked at the gold coins on the table, and then respectfully said: "It is said.
The picture of disorder is also known as the magic jigsaw puzzle. It is an ancient alien technology, the specific origin of which is unknown.
Although the whole is a piece of paper, it is divided into several parts.
It is necessary to restore the original appearance from the messy and disorderly paper.
It is necessary to find the "key" to unlock the presets of this magical puzzle. "
"The default 'key'? Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "How can I find the 'key'?" "
"Returning to Your Excellency, the old bard didn't make it clear about the "key". "
Smiling embarrassedly, the wild-haired swordsman shook his head, and added: "However, the villain listens to the old bard.
This "key" seems to be set by the maker of the disordered map himself, and each disordered map is different.
Only the puzzle solvers expected by the blueprint maker can find the "key" and finally restore the disordered picture to its original state.
And the location marked by the Map of Discord may be a treasure trove, or it may be a maker's resting place.
Only the puzzle solver will come to inherit the treasure or inheritance of the map maker.
Moreover, what is certain is that the maker of the disordered map will definitely not be an ordinary strong person.
Therefore, anyone who can find the true location marked by the Chart of Discord will be of great benefit! "
"So that's it, that is to say, this so-called "key" is the key to restoring the original appearance of the picture of disorder. "
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to ask: "About the 'key', what else did that old bard say? "
On the other side, the wild-haired swordsman rolled the whites of his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "The other party mentioned it.
The prompt to find the "key" is likely to be on the original screen of the picture of disorder! "
"Understood." Hearing this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and thought to himself: "From what we have learned so far, we can basically be sure.
The strange treasure map in my hand is a map of disorder.
Since there is nothing to do this afternoon, let's find a way to unravel this picture of disorder.
Perhaps, in the real marked places on the map, it is still unknown what unexpected treasures one can really get. "
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao confirmed that the random-haired swordsman did not have any other useful information.
He took the knotweed and the others, and left the open-air tavern under the longing and reverent eyes of the diners and maids around.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao and his party returned to the City Lord's Mansion in Fenglong City.
Moreover, he ordered Tran to find a quiet living room in the castle.
When he sat down on the sofa, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a piece of yellow mottled parchment appeared on the palm of his hand.
At the same time, with the appearance of mottled parchment, a faint musty smell immediately flooded into Lei Xiao's nostrils.
Feeling the quaint taste brought by the erosion of time, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to examine it carefully.
First of all, this disordered drawing has no traces of cutting at the edges, and there are no lines drawn at the edges, so it is obviously a complete drawing.
Secondly, in the center of the drawing, thick black lines are used to depict a picture similar to a map.
However, upon careful observation, this picture is indeed like a jigsaw puzzle that has been put together randomly, extremely disorganized.
In addition to being able to see the patterns of mountains and trees.
Even, it is impossible to judge which side is the real front.
Finally, also at the center of the drawing, a striking red cross mark appeared.
Around the intersection, there seems to be a mountain range, and it seems to be a mountain stream.
However, because it is too piecemeal, it is impossible to judge the specific location.
In addition, it may be due to some fading due to age.
The red cross is not drawn with a solid line, but with a dotted line.
The most important thing is that this kind of disordered graph is not composed of pieces like a real jigsaw puzzle.
As long as you carefully observe the rules and outlines, you can finally stitch them together.
Instead, every marker, even every line, has been completely disrupted or even distorted, without any rules at all.
If you insist on splicing, you can undoubtedly combine tens of thousands of different drawings, making it difficult for people to distinguish.
"It seems that the only way is to find the "key" to unlock the secret, as the mercenary said just now. "
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao spread out the drawings on the wooden coffee table in front of him, and signaled his subordinates to study together.
One side couldn't help pondering: "Just like what I thought just now.
Before this, I have researched many times with my subordinates, but I didn't get any results.
And the mercenary mentioned that the reminder about the "key" is in the picture of disorder itself.
It seems that we have to find the mystery from the picture first. "
Just when Lei Xiao thought about this.
I saw Chao Yan at the side, blinking her big shining eyes, while gnawing on a piece of delicate pastry that Telan had just sent a servant.
While pondering, he said, "My lord, where is the "key" reminder of the disorderly map?
Before this, we have tried different energy injections, or using detection-like manifestation spells.
However, it didn't have any effect. "
"Yes, common methods such as roasting and soaking in water have also been tried. Moreover, this parchment itself has no interlayer."
On the other side, Ye Cang pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, frowned and said: "Since neither conventional nor unconventional methods have any effect.
So, where is the mystery of this disordered map? "
"My lord, do you feel that the red cross is a bit abrupt?"
After pondering for a moment, Bai Wei asked doubtfully while holding a piece of chocolate cookie.
"What is marked there is obviously the exact location of the treasure." Lei Xiao responded with a slight nod.
"However, my lord, this picture is so complicated that I can't see why.
Marking the location of the treasure now doesn't seem to be of any use. "On the other side, Bai Wei's fluffy ears moved, and she said with a puzzled expression.
"Bai Wei, do you mean that the red X-shaped mark is not the location of the treasure, but something else?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao seemed to realize something, his eyes lit up.
Then he opened his mouth and said: "So that's it, it seems that the red mark is an important reminder of the "key" of this picture of disorder! "
"Understood, this is a puzzle set by the other party using inertial thinking.
Since this is a treasure map, we will naturally preconceive that the red X-shaped mark represents the location of the treasure.
However, it fell into the opponent's arms and fell into a dead end of thinking. "
At this time, Ye Cang's gold-rimmed glasses reflected a white light, and then he said, "My lord, in this way.
Drilling Adze ??Hazy copy cen ?Adzumbrella reading qichan?y? ?/
If the red cross marks not the location of the treasure, but something else.
Coupled with the fact that it is composed of dotted lines, the answer is naturally very obvious. "
"It's a folding line!"
On the other side, Chao Yan's iconic big eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Just fold up this picture of disorder as marked above!"
"Let's get started." With a slight nod, Lei Xiao signaled Ye Cang to operate.
"Of order, my lord~www.mtlnovel.com~ bowed gracefully to Lei Xiao, and Ye Cang folded the yellowed parchment one by one according to the marks on the picture.
Sure enough, in the next second, there was a faint energy fluctuation.
When Ye Cang unfolded the parchment again.
This time, despite the surface of the drawing, it was still messy.
However, a brand new oval pattern has already appeared in the lower left corner of the drawing.
"It seems to be a mirror!" At this moment, Chaoyan's big eyes flickered, and she blurted out: "It seems that it is only in the mirror.
Only this picture of disorder can show its true original appearance! "
However, when Lei Xiao signaled to the knotweed at the side to bring the large cloak mirror in the room.
Inside the mirror, the quaint picture of disorder still hasn't changed in any way.
"What's going on here? The painting on it is clearly a mirror."
Seeing this, Chaoyan nodded her head, her pretty face full of puzzlement.
