Chapter 1674 Bruce Wayne and the Sorcerer's Stone (6)
Unsurprisingly, the door of the room was blown down. After Harry rushed in excitedly, Little Bruce looked back at the doorknob with the lock on it. The kind of metal lock that hangs on the iron door in the wall looks like it needs a suitable key.
But the door wasn't even made of steel, just the usual wooden doors in castles, and Bruce Jr. had no doubt that a trained agent could knock it open with a few slams with all his might.
This made Bruce Jr. understand the difficulty of this trial.
The tree demon in the first level seems to be very dangerous, but it has too many weaknesses. He will only attack people who don’t have the key and want to break in by force. Somewhere in the school, the process of obtaining the keys is not dangerous.
Either use force to break the door, find something to knock the door open, or simply blast the door open with explosives like Harley, or respond with flexibility and agility, taking advantage of the child's small size to sneak under the arm of the dryad , luring him to attack the wooden door, he can still break the door open.
Just when little Bruce was thinking and walking into the house, he heard Barry utter an exclamation, and turned his head to look, Barry grabbed Harry, who was a little excited, and said, "Take your box of explosives. Stay away, this place is full of glassware, if it blows up, it will be over!"
Little Bruce stepped through the wreckage of the wooden door and actually walked into the room, and then he found that it was a room full of bottles and jars.
There are tall shelves reaching to the ceiling embedded in the four walls. On the shelves are neatly placed high and low glass jars, some are wide-mouthed bottles, some are narrow-mouthed bottles, some are like round-bottomed flasks, and some are more similar to small basins. , but in short, the material is exquisite and fragile glass.
Little Bruce rushed forward and grabbed Harry's other arm to prevent her from pulling the grenade, because there was no second door in this room except the one they came in.
"What if there's something behind the wall?" Harry said unwillingly.
"What if it doesn't?" Barry grabbed her tightly to prevent this crazy girl, who was especially excited because of the violent explosion just now, from destroying everything in the room with explosives.
"Looks like this is a puzzle." Little Bruce looked up at the glassware all over the wall, and said, "Someone already thought that you would use explosives to break in. If you really messed up here, the door It may never be opened."
"That's why you insisted I put those plants in glass jars?" Pamela behind the screen turned to look at Schiller, and said, "You guessed that some of them would want to resort to violence, and you You don't want them to crack every level that way."
"I hope to save some money for the school to repair the building." Schiller shook his head lightly and said, "Let a real Gotham lunatic bombard here, and we won't be able to compensate for having the richest man in the world." .”
"Actually enough," Bruce began, but then he shook his head and said, "It's just that the elves in Maia's world need to rest, or they'll die of exhaustion."
"So what kind of puzzle is this?" Constantine asked, "Do they need to identify the nature of these plants?"
"Yes, and the rest is a simple permutation puzzle." Pamela nodded, and said in a calm tone: "It's all the knowledge I have taught in class, as long as one person listens carefully, it will definitely be solved." can do it."
"It looks like a sorting puzzle." Bruce Jr. looked at the glass jars on all the shelves on the four walls and said, "If I remember correctly, the plants in the whole room should be divided into categories." The four categories are potion raw materials, alchemy catalyst raw materials, ritual raw materials, and non-reactive raw materials."
"I remember it was mentioned in the magic botany class." Barry touched his cheek, he also looked around, and then said: "But I haven't talked about so many kinds of plants at all. I don't know more than half of them. Maybe Gao It was mentioned in the grade class."
He turned to look at Harley, who blinked, walked past the four walls, and said, "About half of the plants were covered in class, and the other half were not covered."
"But we can speculate." Little Bruce sighed softly and said: "Professor Pamela once mentioned in class that plants growing in a certain world have similar attributes and appearances, which can be regarded as a genus of plants."
"According to the shape, color and magic performance of the plants, we can also see their approximate effects. Let's take down the bottle first."
There were two ladders in the corner of the room, apparently for the convenience of the students who came here to take down all the jars for inspection. The three of them took all the glass jars off the shelves one after another and put them on the ground. Harry started Give them a preliminary classification.
Harley is in a higher grade and takes more class hours. The Magical Botany class took nearly two months to teach students to identify the plants that often appear in the wizarding world and understand their functions. Harley put all her All the plants you know are classified, and the next thing is very simple.
When all the plants that can be attributed are grouped together in each of the four classifications, anyone can see the similarities between them.
Potion raw materials are usually closer to the stems of herbs, such as the spiral grass that Barry and the others saw in the first class, which is one of the most typical potion raw materials, with the characteristics of being soft and small, and the magic light is not strong.
Raw materials for alchemy catalysts usually have extremely strong magic performance, and the magic light fills the entire bottle, and most of the manifestations are flowers and soft leaves, and their appearance is more similar to ordinary plants in the non-magic world.
The shapes of the ritual raw materials are extremely weird, either like dry fingers, or eyeballs or animal claws, often with tumors and pustules on the outside, like the kind of plants that appear in dark swamps in horror novels.
Non-reactive raw materials refer to those plants that will not react with any of the above-mentioned plants. They can be used to make containers, stirring rods and other utensils that are in frequent contact with liquid medicine. Naturally, most of them are woody plants Cuts or branches of , sufficiently hard, dry, and dull in colour.
"There's only one question left." Harry looked down at the divided bottles and said, "Which wall do the four plants go on?"
"The least number must be on the wall with the door, because that wall has the least number of shelves," Barry suggested.
Little Bruce snorted coldly and said, "It's rare for your brain to turn around."
The least amount of the four materials is the non-reactive material, so the three of them used a ladder to place this part of the plant on the wall near the door. After placing it, Barry let out a sigh of relief, looked at Harry and said: Good thing you didn't blow up the shelf on this wall, or we would have failed before we even started."
However, Harry showed a smile, shook his head and said, "It's not that simple, obviously there is another solution to the puzzle in this room."
Harry crossed his arms, looked back at the bottles and jars on the ground, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, some of the plant materials here can be combined into a special liquid medicine, this kind Potions should also make the exit visible."
"But the risk is very high." Little Bruce said: "Because you don't know whether the ingredients in the bottle can return to the bottle and trigger the mechanism of arranging puzzles after pouring them out, so if it's not completely clueless Or if the shelf is damaged, we don't need to use this method."
Harry nodded and said: "Although I do like to make a lot of noise, it's not unreasonable. I guessed that there might be some important things in the room, so I deliberately avoided the wall when I threw the grenade. It works, if we refine the medicine here, all of our clothes will smell strange."
After finishing speaking, the three began to study the remaining three walls, and then Harry found a rune in the bottom corner of each shelf. There was no puzzle to solve, and the meaning of the rune was the type of plant. .
It took a little more time to put all the bottles and jars into categories. A magical light bloomed in the center of the floor, and a door slowly opened. Below it was a dark tunnel, and it was impossible to see where it led.
"Well, it seems that I can't take all these big babies down." Harley glanced at her cart of ammunition with some pity, and said, "Without being sure how deep the bottom is, , You can’t pour all of this thing down, once the insurance is triggered, it will explode in a row, and it’s a pity if it breaks.”
Harry picked and picked out three pistols from the trolley, handed two of them to the other two, took out a few grenades and put them in his pocket, and finally took a shotgun and carried it on his back , and shook his head towards the door in the center of the floor.
Little Bruce glanced down, but at this moment Barry said: "I'll jump first, in case there is any danger below, I can give you an early warning."
Bruce Jr. opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute, but Barry interrupted him and said: "At least one thing you are right, your two brains are precious treasures, it's not good to break them."
Barry jumped straight down, and Harry showed a slightly nervous smile to little Bruce and said: "This group of idiots are like this, right? Always feel guilty for not being able to contribute to the team, soft and hard, like A sponge full of tears."
"I reserve my opinion, they are like rocks, hard, stupid, useless, but this Mr. Allen just washed up on the beach, does not know that his life will continue to be so stubborn until he becomes As annoying as those stubborn grown-ups."
After talking about little Bruce also jumped down, Harry shrugged his shoulders, glanced at the empty air, and said, "I don't know who will eventually become a stubborn adult."
When Harry's figure also disappeared through the door on the floor, Constantine looked at Bruce with a smile and said, "Yeah, who is it? I agree with both hands that it's definitely not Batman."
And Bruce turned his head to look at Schiller, who tilted his head slightly to look at Bruce, and said, "But too many whimsical ideas may not be better."
"Some people's whimsy is easy to see, but some people's are always going on in silence. No one can see where the happiness is, can't they, professor?"
