But if soft tactics don't work, then hard tactics will be used. Although Root's captain's room looks well-guarded, more than a hundred years have passed and loopholes have appeared. Or to be more precise, it should be a design flaw.
The loophole is to go to the bottom of the captain's room, then dig a hole directly on the ceiling to enter. After crawling into this hole, you will naturally come to the floor of the captain's room, and you can easily avoid the mechanism in it.
However, it is not entirely true to say that this is a loophole, because when Du Yuqi and Jet made a hole in the ceiling, the mechanism was immediately triggered, and the entire crew's living area immediately began to shine with light, and at the same time, there were bursts of crisp and pleasant jingle sounds echoing, as if porcelain was colliding with each other.
If the Saint's Call was operating normally, then such a big noise would have stirred up a hornet's nest, and the crew would have rushed over. Du Yuqi and Jet found that it was very difficult to drill through the ceiling, and it would take at least half an hour. Therefore, the designer of the Saint's Call should not have ignored this weakness and accurately made up for it.
However... Although the agency was still faithfully adhering to its mission, at this time, there was only rust, spider webs, ghosts, and dust in the Saint's Horn. Such warnings kept ringing, which undoubtedly carried a great irony. Du Yuqi was a little worried that those ghosts would be alarmed, but it seemed that there was no movement.
Finally, their efforts paid off. The ceiling was successfully dug through and then quickly expanded. After Du Yuqi and Jet successfully entered the captain's room, Du Yuqi raised his eyebrows because he found that the scabbard of "Bone of Hess" in his hand actually began to make a buzzing sound and flashed with strange light, as if it had encountered something exciting.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Du Yuqi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said:
"Every time, I heard that this captain doesn't seem to be human?"
Every time:
"Yes! That's right. Captain Lute is a half-dragon. It is said that he has the ability to transform into a dragon, but no one has ever seen it with their own eyes. I have only seen his portrait. There is a very obvious dragon horn mark on his head, which makes ordinary people extremely awed by him. According to records, he belongs to the moderate dragon clan, whose philosophy is to share the world with other races."
Du Yuqi said:
"The scabbard in my hand is reacting! It seems that this Root must have left behind something that interests him."
As he spoke, Du Yuqi had already started searching.
Root's captain's room is very large. Although no one has entered it for hundreds of years and it is covered with dust, it can be seen that the owner is a person who likes cleanliness and order. Not to mention the tables and benches, all the personal belongings are neatly stacked. The pen must be placed upright at 90 degrees next to the paper, and the paper is neatly placed in the middle of the table.
The furnishings in the captain's room are also very simple. Apart from the necessary living facilities such as beds, tables, chairs, cabinets, etc., there is almost nothing. Why use the word "almost"? That's because there is a small wine cabinet next to it. The wine cabinet is not big and can only hold five bottles of wine at most, but it looks very exquisite under the dust.
Jeter looked curiously and found that there were glass fragments inside, which should have been broken during the landing. However, there was a bottle of tequila that seemed to be intact. He took it out and wiped it with his hand, shook it, and found that it made a gurgling sound. He was immediately overjoyed, pulled out the cork, took a sip, and immediately his eyes lit up and he said excitedly:
“This smells amazing!”
At this time, Du Yuqi had already come to Rut's bed. The blankets looked intact, but they felt like foam when touched and turned into ash. However, near the pillow, Du Yuqi found what he was looking for - a pair of half-foot long horns, which should have fallen off from Rut's head. There were clear spiral textures on them. Even after so many years, the horns gave off a faint burning sensation when held in the hand, as if there was a piece of red-hot charcoal inside.
This pair of shed dragon horns revealed a lot of information. For example, Root was indeed a powerful half-dragon. The other rumor that Root was the descendant of the ice dragon Skarsa was self-defeating. This was a typical fire dragon's horn.
Du Yuqi placed a short horn into the Bone of Hess he was wearing, allowing it to be absorbed by the Bone of Hess, and then he discovered its accompanying effects: the Grip of Darkness was strengthened and turned into the Grip of the Demon Dragon, which would first spurt out a fan-shaped flaming dragon breath from the mouth of the scabbard toward the front, and then form a dragon claw sweeping grasp, causing secondary damage.
The other short-horned Hess bone of Rutt also showed a greedy desire to absorb, but Du Yuqi collected it and planned to give it to Lin. Lin's imperial seal was the mutated Terra stone of Bakkar, which should also be able to absorb the power of Rutt's short horn.
The reason why Du Yuqi did this is very simple. Equipment like the Bones of Hess is like a double-edged sword. While it is powerful, it will also bring great pressure to the controller. Once it becomes too powerful, it may even backfire on the owner.
The only useful thing found next was Root's flight log, but it was badly damaged and only some fragmented information could be found in it. Every time, it was necessary to study it slowly to find what you wanted.
Fortunately, Du Yuqi and his team successfully found Ludmila Billo's room next to Captain Root's room. Why were they so sure? Because the door of her room opened easily, and the decoration inside was in sharp contrast to the simplicity of the captain's room, with carpets, hangings, wall lamps... uh, and a huge oil painting that took up an entire wall.
The oil painting depicts a girl with burgundy hair, wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a half-meter-long colorful bird tail inserted next to the hat. She is looking sideways with a half-smile on her face.
This portrait is Ludmila Billow's self-portrait!
After seeing the decoration and layout of the room, Du Yuqi felt that this was a confident and narcissistic woman.
After entering the room, his eyes would immediately light up, and he looked like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar. His eyes were full of happiness, and he began to search everywhere.
Jet also began to look around, searching for possible treasures.
Soon, Chang Chang realized that there was something strange about the painting, because the four of them had a very clear feeling at the same time, that is, no matter what angle they stood at, the person in the painting seemed to be staring at them seriously.
After searching carefully, he found nothing, so he said to Jeter:
"I can only be sure that there is something strange about this painting, but time is running out, so I don't have time to search carefully. I can only use your method."
Jet smiled and nodded immediately:
"OK."
The usual way is to honestly find the authorities, so what is Jet's way? Naturally, it is violent demolition. Jet's slogan is that there is no problem that cannot be solved by bricks. If there is, then just do it again.
After Jet aimed his brick at the giant oil painting, he discovered something strange. A little light emanated from the surface of the painting, which bounced his brick away and almost hit Jet himself. Jet got angry and picked up the stool next to him to smash it, but it still didn't work and he was left out of breath.
At this time, Du Yuqi, who was watching coldly, suddenly said:
"Jet, step back, Xishang, this protective barrier seems to be somewhat targeted at physical attacks."
After listening to Du Yuqi's words, Xi nodded, and white light began to emit from her hands. She began to accumulate strength, obviously preparing to fire a mind cannon. Strong light elements gathered in her palms.
At this moment, a few wisps of light blue smoke suddenly floated down from the giant oil painting, and then quickly gathered into a translucent figure of a girl, who then clasped her hands together and said pitifully:
"Dear gentlemen, please do not destroy my trust!"
