Mystery: Paradox Path

After writing down the contents of the pages, Audrey reluctantly glanced at the books on the shelf, and then walked around the ancient pagoda again.

What makes her a little helpless is that although the ancient pagoda in the illusory world is very complete, the ancient pagoda in the real world is already half-collapsed, so the ancient pagoda on the upper floor is just an illusory shadow, even though she can see the stairs and walls. , but cannot continue upward.

As for using a substitute... Her dazzling diamonds, according to Mr. Demon, are close-range and powerful substitutes, and they can't leave the body too far.

"Really, why does Dad... oh, no, it should be Grandpa, why can't Grandpa protect this place better?"

Audrey complained very unladylike and called Susie to prepare to investigate other places, but at this moment, Susie suddenly raised her head and said:

"Audrey, [Flying Princess Susie] found another door!"

"..." Compared with Susie's indescribable surrogate name, Audrey was obviously more interested in "door". The loss that she couldn't continue to explore before was swept away, and she said excitedly:

"Where?"

"It's down there, um, it should be a kitchen or something?" Susie said with some uncertainty, and then led Audrey towards the location of [Flying Princess] (abbreviation).

The area inside the ancient pagoda is not large. After returning to the first floor, Audrey quickly came to the so-called "door", but it was different from what Audrey imagined. This was not the one outside the ancient pagoda. An ornate door that overlaps the main entrance, but is completely attached to the ground without any "real" entrance door.

The style of this door is completely different from the elegant main door at the entrance. It is carved with a hideous devil relief, which looks rather eerie.

Audrey picked up a branch and gently poked the ground where the door was. There was no doubt that there were no secret doors or compartments there.

In other words, if this ancient pagoda had been swept over by the family, if it really had a secret door, it should have been discovered long ago.

But here, it is a block of thick and sturdy stone bricks.

How to get in here? Is it only a substitute to enter?

Audrey curiously walked to the position facing the devil's relief, motioning for the dazzling diamond to stretch out her arm.

As that palm came into contact with the handle on the side of the demon, a short message suddenly flashed in Audrey's mind.

The voice disappeared in a flash, but Audrey still captured the meaning of the word—trial.

"Isn't this the 'trial place' of the Penredax family?" Audrey's mind immediately appeared in the minds of those knight novels, the trial ground left by the strong to the younger generation, and her eyes almost flashed. Come.

Susie looked at Audrey like this,

Knowing that the master is up again, but still said:

"That, Audrey, it's been a long time since we came out!"

"Ah this..." Audrey just remembered that she had sneaked out today, and even if she gave psychological hints, she couldn't hold on for long. Once dinner time came, even the maid and the chef felt that they were not hungry. , will also knock on the door.

Thinking of this, Audrey still did not go his own way. After sighing unwillingly, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Then come back tomorrow!"

...

Returning to the manor without any danger, Audrey changed out of her hunting outfit and put on a princess dress that was not so convenient for dressing alone. Fortunately, Audrey had the assistance of bright diamonds, so she finally put on that. Wearing cumbersome clothes.

The dinner was still sumptuous, but Audrey's attention was not on the food at all. In her mind, the names of the books she read this afternoon kept echoing. Although she couldn't read the two pages, she was shocked. Notes, and the devil's door leading to the underground.

That night, Audrey had a dream. She dreamed that she walked into the gate of the devil, defeated many monsters, obtained the treasure that the ancestors of Penradax placed in the depths of the trial ground, and cracked the book. The method of reading books in the room, and then using the knowledge in the book to shock the little friends in the Tarot Club, and then... she saw a pair of dissatisfied and disappointed eyes...

"No! I'm not..." Audrey woke up suddenly, but found that it was still dark outside the window, and the warmth inside the quilt was so distinct from the cold outside. She took a few deep breaths and began to use her psychological knowledge. Analyse your dream -

"Well, there's nothing to say in the front, it's the result of my curiosity and hope about the ruins, mixed with some knight novels, and the second half is a mixture of my desire for performance and a little bit of greed.

As for those eyes at the end... This should be my unease about secretly exploring the ruins of Penredax, my fear of causing Mr. Demon's dissatisfaction, and my guilt for giving psychological hints to the servants of the manor.

I don't mean to take it for myself though, just an adventure that won't break anything or hurt anyone... well, I'll leave it all to Mr. Demon - he shouldn't Blame me? "

Audrey stuck out her tongue mischievously, and began to give herself psychological counseling. Since she used Lucid Dreaming to conduct psychological analysis, she began to pay attention to every bit of her psychological problems.

After a while, Audrey, who had studied her behavior thoroughly, finally relaxed, lay on the soft pillow, and fell asleep again, but this time, she did not dream again, but slept until the sky. The light was bright, until the maid began to call, and finally crawled out of the warm and comfortable bed.

"Audrey, you have to work hard today!"

Standing in front of the mirror, Audrey routinely confirmed her mental state through the dolls presented by Mr. Demon. Although she was already a psychiatrist, it was difficult for a healer to heal herself. The impact of magical items equivalent to Sequence Six was a problem for Audrey. Delly is still very cautious.

"Very good, it seems that the previous self-analysis is very helpful for maintaining self-awareness." After confirming that there was no change, Audrey fine-tuned her face with satisfaction, and then, surrounded by maids, began to want to use Slightly long breakfast.

Loen's dining habit is two meals a day. Only the working class will eat some high-calorie food at noon to replenish their strength. On the contrary, the nobles will enjoy afternoon tea during the afternoon social time.

However, Audrey is now in the manor in the countryside and has no social needs, so afternoon tea is naturally not so formal.

Let the maid bring some refreshments and drinks to the house, and Audrey began to follow yesterday's operation. In a short time, the whole manor was arranged, and then Susie rode to the ancient pagoda.

But this time, Susie's task is a bit heavier, because she needs to catch more rabbits on the road...
