Chapter 802 There's Always Another Adventure
"This is the 'Narcissus Cross Holy Sword'."
An slowly pressed her little face against the water curtain, looking tenderly at the somewhat dirty wooden sword, and said softly.
Paimon copied her, pressing his face against it. "Oh, now that you mention it, it does look... pretty cheap..."
Kong quickly and secretly pulled Paimon back.
"This is the center of the world, a castle where dragons dwell, or a tower where princesses are imprisoned. Sometimes it is the lost ancient city of Isis or Arcadia. Sometimes it is surrounded by the four seas, and sometimes it is the territory of the king of the four worlds."
"And any tree branch of a suitable shape, or a clothesline pole, became a sacred sword in the children's hands. Then one day, a woman brought back several wooden swords for the children to play with..."
Paimon pondered, "So, this Narcissus Cross Holy Sword must also be a very important item?"
Ann nodded. "Of course, an ordinary sword can cut through flesh, but the Narcissus Cross Holy Sword has the ability to sever spirit and will. So neither an invulnerable dragon nor an invisible illusion can withstand a single strike from this sword. If we want to reach the end of the Narcissus Cross Adventure Team's story, we must obtain this holy sword."
Paimon immediately perked up and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's start searching! Hey, there seems to be another water sphere over there. Could it be related to the water curtain here?"
After Paimon finished speaking, he flew towards that direction, but the water sphere suddenly lit up.
"Paimon, watch out!"
Kong leaped up behind Paimon, grabbed her, and quickly hid behind a pillar.
The pure water projectile that the water sphere suddenly fired exploded directly on the pillar.
"Wow, isn't this the same water cannon emplacement we saw earlier? Why is there one here too? Is it specifically designed to deal with invaders?"
Xu Ning strolled towards the water cannon as if walking in a garden, and whenever the pure water cannonballs were about to hit him, he would nimbly dodge them.
"Perhaps because the three outside were damaged, they deliberately made a new one."
Xu Ning dodged only three times before reaching the water cannon and pointing the Dust Concealment Gourd at it.
In the blink of an eye, the water cannon was sucked into the cave.
Xu Ning shook the gourd and laughed, "Alright, let's continue."
Paimon looked at Xu Ning's gourd with envy and whispered to the air, "It feels like the Big Drunkard's gourd has evolved again. Do you think our Dust Song Pot has some hidden switch that we forgot to turn on? Let's beat up that fat sparrow tonight, it seems to be because the Big Drunkard always beats up Qingyi..."
Kong helplessly hid the Chenge Pot behind his back. "I think you're still angry because A Yuan refused to cook for you, and you want to find an excuse to beat it up, right?"
Paimon said anxiously, "If it can brew such delicious tea, its cooking skills must be no worse than Qingyi's. It's just lazy..."
The two little ones walked noisily through the auditorium, passed through two mechanisms, and then found a device that resembled an elevator.
As the elevator started, a bell suddenly rang out from somewhere.
Ann turned around. "That's the sound of a chiming clock... Whenever it rings, it means that the adventure is coming to an end."
Paimon exclaimed excitedly, "That means the journey is over, and Princess Lilith is just ahead... Hmm? There's a treasure chest! Is it the reward at the end?"
Fearing something might pop out and hurt Paimon, Kong went up and opened the treasure chest himself.
However, there were no large or valuable items inside the treasure chest; instead, a dark green feather lay quietly at the bottom of the enormous chest.
Paimon reached in and picked up the feather.
This is an ornament made from a feather. It's obvious that the feather is a bit old, but it's been well preserved.
When Caterpillar saw it, she was visibly stunned. "How did it get here?"
Everyone turned to look at him.
"This is Jacob's. It is said that Vice Dean Besser gave it to him before returning to the Fontaine fleet to fight Erinas. It is something he cherishes very much."
Paimon was startled. "Has he already been here?"
Xu Ning shook his head. "If I'm not mistaken, this must have been left here a long time ago. Jacob shouldn't be able to get in here now. I mean, if this really is Lilith's resting place."
Caterpillar nodded, and said sadly, "Actually, I was worried I wouldn't be able to get in either..."
Paimon was immediately relieved.
"That's good. Then all the answers lie behind this door."
As Kong pushed open the door and everyone walked out...
In the familiar pink and blue world, a huge room filled with bookshelves slowly comes into view.
"It's a library."
Kong, standing in front, turned around with a hint of confusion. "Why is it a place like this... Wait, I think I said that before..."
Ann murmured, "This is the place. This library has been here for a long time... In the books there are dragons, and in them there are heroes who fight them... The land will always be restored, and the princess will always be rescued..."
Caterpillar continued, "...and then the clock would always ring, and the adventure would come to an end..."
Xu Ning looked at Katppilla with a strange gaze. "It seems you rarely experience situations like this? But for those of us who have experienced the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival, this is child's play."
Paimon put his hands on his hips and said, "This sense of déjà vu... it's obvious that the same thing has happened before..."
Ann nodded and said, "Yes, because adventure stories never really end; there's always another adventure, and another..."
"So you've reached the end of the road, but ended up walking in a circle? Does that mean you'll never find Princess Lilith?"
Seeing Paimon's dejected expression, Kong comforted him, "Think about it the other way around. If we haven't broken out of a loop, it means we've found the end, and naturally we'll be able to see Princess Lilith."
Xu Ning smiled and clapped for Kong, "You're absolutely right. Let's go again, and this time pay attention to anything special."
When the clock struck again, everyone reappeared at the starting point.
"Did you notice?" Xu Ning asked with a smile.
Kong and Paimon nodded almost simultaneously, while only Caterpillar seemed lost in confusion, but Seymour, who had been silent for a long time, shook his head.
Seymour began, “I was asked by Caterpillar to record the route we just took. There are three main points: the ornate stone slabs that don’t connect to the road surface, the wooden sword sealed in the fountain, and the feather ornament in the wooden box…”
"...Following the usual pattern of puzzle setting, the later keys are used to unlock the earlier locks. Suggestion: Use the feather ornament to open the seal and use the sword to find the path."
