MMORPG: The Tales of Souls - 299 Another puzzle
“Master, we found something inside the two other mansions, warehouse and barn” Nina commented.
“Do these three locations also have anything to do with fish?” Liu Yang imagined that this would be the case.
“Yes. These four sites have reservoirs with many fish inside. Master, I think these locations could be the other four points on the map that the master spoke before” Nina still remembers that Liu Yang had commented on this.
“I see … Can we visit these places?” Liu Yang was curious to find out about this.
“Yes, master” The group walked to the nearest place, the mansion of the butlers.
The location was similar to the main mansion, but it was a little smaller. Like the mansion before, the place was covered with dust and cobwebs.
“Master, these places are all dirty. Disgusting… “Sophie commented. As a girl, she liked to be clean and tidy. Seeing a house completely dust-filled with cobwebs was a little boring for her.
“Try to hold on, for now, we still need to visit the other places. I do not doubt that these places are also in the same way ”
“Boring…”
“Nina, where’s the place with the water and the fish?”
“Master, the place is in the main hall.” The group walked a little until they reached the main hall.
The place looked like a big ballroom with chairs at dinner tables. Everything was still scattered around the place as if someone had left it ready to be used. But no one came.
“Do we need to do anything to open the secret door?”
As in the main mansion, the group had to move the bed in order to open the door on the floor. So, Liu Yang figured they need to do something like that again.
“Yes. Master, we just need to move these tables in an orderly manner to activate the door mechanism “Nina commented and waved her hand.
The tables and chairs started to move at random and go to the sides. The center of the hall was empty, but nothing happened.
“What?? Why didn’t anything happen? ” Nina was surprised to see that nothing happened.
Suddenly, all the tables and chairs went back to their previous locations. The place doesn’t even look like it was moved.
“Master, I will try this time” Silali did the same. She waved her hand and the objects began to move in different directions. The center was also clean and with no object, just dust.
The same way that happened with Nina, nothing happened after Silali moved the tables and chairs.
“Why didn’t it work too ?? This is unfair, “Silali complained.
In a few moments, the tables and chairs returned to their former locations. But not all, a chair and a table remained in the places that Silali placed.
“Yes. I also realized that. It seems that these chairs and tables need to be placed in some correct order to activate the door mechanism.” Liu Yang understood what they needed to do to activate the mechanism, but how are they going to do that?
“Alexali, can you lift me to the ceiling? I would like to look at the place from above” Liu Yang thought that this would be the only possible solution.
If they cannot see the goal on the ground, they can only see from the sky.
As Liu Yang imagined, the image appeared when he was raised. The other members also flew to see the scene.
In order not to leave the beasts alone on the ground, the girls also raised them. They were happy to fly.
The image that appeared before the group was blurred because of the dust. Fortunately, some parts were shown because of the different colors in the floor tile.
“Can you clean this floor? It seems that there is something different ”
“Yes Master”
One of the girls nodded. A strong wind blew and the dust was cleared.
The image under the dust was shown. A fish. The drawing was of a round fish that looks like a blowfish.
“Now, we just have to know which table and chair fit in these places” Liu Yang saw that there were several large squares on the floor that was the blowfish design. Each square fits on a table and a chair. This was a puzzle.
“Master, this is an easy thing to do. We just need to raise the tables to see if they have any type of design.” Silali waved her hand to try to move the tables and chairs.
“Why didn’t it work?” She was confused.
“Silly girl, if that worked. This challenge would be too easy “Liu Yang laughed a little.
When Silali tried to levitate the tables and chairs, he received a message from the system. The message said it was forbidden to lift tables and chairs, they can only be dragged
“Master, how are we going to find out which table and chair fit in the right places?”
“That’s easy. We just need to move a table and chair at a time to one of the squares, if the two items are in the same place, that means we got it right. But before that, we will mark the tables and chairs with numbers so that we can differentiate ”
The group understood Liu Yang’s plan, although it was a little tedious, they still did it.
The chairs and tables were moving from time to time to the squares. When both objectives are stopped, it means that they were placed in the correct locations.
Inside the hall were a total of a hundred chairs and a hundred tables.
The group took almost ten hours to complete the correct design.
“We finally managed to finish this. We spent almost ten hours doing this, “Silali commented. She was already very bored.
Crack !!! Crack !!! Crack !!!
When all the chairs and tables have been placed in the correct places.
The sounds of gears were heard.
Sometime later…
The floor started to open and a pool with a stairway leading to somewhere appeared.
“It looks like it worked. The hard work paid off. Let’s go down”
The group returned to the ground.
“Master, are we going to go down these stairs?” Silali was eager to find out what was down there.
“Yes. We will explore the place. “The group walked up the stairs and down.
When all members passed the stairs and entered the water. The gears moved, the door was locked again, and everything back to what it was before.
The chairs and tables returned to their original positions and dust covered the hall again.
The room didn’t even appear to have been cleaned and moved just recently. Everything went back to what it was before.
