Chapter 156: Island in the Sky
Chapter 156: Island in the Sky
According to the map, everyone came to the location shown by the Lamp of Bliss, but it was empty here. There were no trees or other things except grass, let alone lights.
Kelly looked around and said, "Hmm... there are no lights here."
Cole thought for a moment and said, "Think about it carefully. The prophecy doesn't mention what the Lamp of Bliss looks like...Are we being too hasty?"
Xun Yuanfeng took out the note again. It was so strange. It should be here.
Sugar asked: "Traveler, are you reading the words on the note?"
"Correct."
Then I saw what Wendy wrote on the paper: Look up and ask the sky for the answer.
Paimon: "Let me see... look up?"
Paimon looked up at the sky, but the sky was still the same sky.
"This... this is nothing! We are not being cheated." Paimon reacted and said.
Xun Yuanfeng looked at the second half of the sentence again: Is it time to recite the spell now... ?
Xun Yuanfeng called Paimeng over: "Paimeng, look at this."
"Put the squirrel on the back of the pointy-eared cat, and the pious puppy will open the door knocker for you... After reading it, it seems like nothing..."
As soon as Paimon finished speaking, a wind blew up at the edge of the cliff.
Kelly shouted happily: "The wind is blowing! Look!"
Albedo: "What a strong wind field, let's go up and take a look."
After hearing this, Timaus took a step back in fear: "Huh? Still want to fly? Who can take me..."
The reliable Albedo appeared: "I'll take you."
Everyone flew up along the wind field, but they didn't expect that there was a small island in the air.
"There is an island in the sky... Who could have built it?" Paimon looked around.
Cole said to Paimon, "Just in case, I wrote down the route to make sure no one gets lost!"
Paimon praised, "So reliable!"
There was a long table and several chairs in the center of the island. A purple-patterned lamp was suspended above the table. It looked like a place where someone was holding a tea party.
Paimon: "There's actually a table like this here... How magical! It looks like someone has held a tea party here."
Timaus was also surprised and said: "There is such a place hidden above Mond..."
Klee: "There's a beautiful lamp on the table! There are also corresponding tables and chairs on each side!"
"There seems to be words written on the back of the chair... I'll take a look." Mona walked forward to check: "Take a seat, answer, and answer your questions. Well, the hint is concise..."
"We just have to do what it says and that's it, right?"
Albedo interrupted Cole and said, "Wait a moment."
Everyone looked at him. He suddenly spoke and Paimon was a little scared, thinking something had gone wrong: "What, what's wrong, Albedo!"
"It's best to check it carefully before doing anything. Please make way."
Everyone stood by and watched in awe as he inspected the scene.
"But having said that, the scenery here is really beautiful. It makes people feel completely free of tension." Paimon carefully felt the feeling of the wind caressing his cheek.
"Mr. Albedo, what's the situation?"
"Yes. Everything is normal. There are no traps or mechanisms. In addition... there is no clear destructive device..."
"Huh? What you mean is..." Cole didn't quite understand what he meant and looked at him in confusion.
"It means we need to sit on the chairs to complete the prophecy, and this prophecy allows for trial and error. Ladies and gentlemen, I suggest that we first try the answers that may not be correct, and put the answers with the highest probability of being correct in the second round."
Paimon looked thoughtful: "It seems to make sense, but why?"
Timaeus: "As expected of you, Mr. Albedo! With this, we might be able to figure out how it works."
Cole: “So that’s how it is!”
At this time, Paimon noticed that Mona beside him had a heavy face and sighed from time to time, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with Mona? Your face looks a little bad."
Keli asked with concern: "Sister Mona, are you hungry? Keli brought some snacks..."
Mona came back to her senses after hearing Klee's voice: "Thank you Klee, but that's not the case! When Albedo was checking just now, I wanted to get more clues through divination, but this place has an extremely mysterious atmosphere, as if someone was staring at me. Since there was no tampering with the objective environment, then... could the other party... could it be..." Mona couldn't help but shiver.
"Could it be...what?" Kelly couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
But Mona stopped talking: "... Oh, forget it. I don't have any evidence."
Paimon looked at her with disdain: "Ugh - you're keeping me on suspense."
Klee: "Klee listens to brother Albedo!"
"Let's verify the conjecture together, Keli."
"Yes! Sister Mona is coming too!"
"Yeah... OK."
Sugar volunteered: "Then I will answer the first question, about the non-existent flower."
Ke Lai encouraged her: "Come on, Sugar, you can do it!"
"Um······"
Under everyone's gaze, Sugar sat on the chair: "My answer is four times the size of the sweet flower."
"The guide who will never get lost... Let me answer this question." Cole encouraged himself and sat down next to Sugar: "...Huh... My answer... is myself. I have always been the one being guided. After a very long time, I finally got to where I am now. Although I am nothing yet and very immature, but... I give my name here because I also want to be a person who guides others. I want to pass on this power like Amber, Master Tinari, Mr. Seno and many other people have helped me."
Then it was Timaeus and Mona in turn, but after Mona finished speaking, the dim lamp on the table lit up and emitted a golden glow.
"Wait a minute, the light is on!" Paimon exclaimed, "Wow, all four sides of the light are glowing!"
Cole was unable to react: "Huh? But..."
“We clearly chose an answer that might not be the right one.”
"Could you please stand up, Cole?" Cole stood up. When Cole stood up, one side of the light dimmed. After Albedo sat down, that side lit up again.
Albedo: “…”
Paimon: "Huh? What? What's going on? How come everyone can shine even if someone else changes! Didn't you say you have to answer the questions in the prophecy?"
"You should have figured it out, right? We have proved with our actions that there is no correct answer to this prophecy."
"No answer? Why is that?"
"Although it comes from an ancient mysterious prophecy, it is not the ancient mechanism we thought, it is just a small signal."
At this time, a strange girl's voice came from behind: "I didn't expect that you could really find this place."
