It would be more accurate to say "portrait".

The combination of these gems is a portrait of the sun, and in the land of Shurima, the sun is a well-deserved god. Although it is not as good as Naga Kapoulos, it is still a little more powerful than the ordinary great will.

.

Mainly because of his status as the God King among the series of gods on this land.

Think about it, because the Star-casting Dragon King himself had the authority of the sun, he was tricked by the star spirits of Mount Targon into losing the authority of the sun after he came to Runeterra.

And for the human incarnations of many great wills who can only appear in the world at the level of demigods, offending an Eternal One who can come to Runeterra in his true form is tantamount to causing a big trouble for himself.

If Aurelion Sol wanted to mess with them, he would squat in Runeterra, kill all their human incarnations, and send them back to the heavens.

If you go to jail, just go to jail and don't think about playing around.

If Balliard forcefully pulls this gem off, he may have to face a demigod or several demigod-level stars later.

"Kevin, have you ever encountered a similar situation?"

Ezreal planned to listen to Kevin's thoughts first. After all, they were able to discover these gems because of the "knowledge" that Kevin had.

"No, the gems I encountered were complete, not cut into eighteen pieces."

Kevin didn't think he could be of much help. Finding gems before was already a stroke of luck.

And he has never been very lucky. Once this good luck passes, nothing good will probably happen to him.

"Are there no other similar things? It doesn't have to be this kind of gem, and it doesn't necessarily need the sun..."

Ezreal reminded Kevin, trying to use this method to help Kevin come up with more useful things.

But unfortunately, after Kevin thought about it, he still said,

"no impression."

"Well, I can only rely on guessing."

Ezreal didn't force it, let alone ask Sun Shangxiang. This girl didn't even realize that the thing was a gem before, so how could she have any good ideas.

Moreover, Sun Shangxiang is now a huge saber-toothed tiger, and Ezreal is really worried that this girl will take advantage of him to ask questions to avenge him.

"What do you want to guess? Do you need my cooperation?"

Balliard flew down from above at this time. The gem could not be removed, and there was no point in staying there.

"The sun, of course, should be in the sky, but at night, the sun seems to be below. Try putting these gems under the gems that cannot be removed and see if you can activate any mechanism. Is there anything else in these gems?

Less runic energy."

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Ezreal took the gem in his hand, dug a hole in the ground, and put a gem in it.

"Let's go and look in other compartments. There should be gems there too."

Ezreal took the gems and Valyard and set off.

This kind of thing cannot be left to a few other people. They are just mortals and cannot fly. How can they know where there is a gem above their heads.

These gems are all covered by a coating. The color of this coating is the same as that of soil. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell them apart.

In addition, the height of these rooms is not low, so even if they can see through them, they can't see anything.

Two people who could fly, Valyard and Ezreal, searched for the gems on their heads. It didn't take long for them to find the locations of all the gems. Then, Ezreal placed the gems one by one.

In the holes dug directly under the gems.

"No mechanism appeared. It seems that you thought wrong. You guys, please take the gems back."

Balliard waited for Ezreal's next attempt. Even if Ezreal guessed wrong, he could at least "guess" and "guess" based on evidence. In contrast, Bariad, who lacked experience,

Leyard, can't even "guess".

"It's Your Majesty."

Sun Shangxiang and his party went there quickly, and the fastest one was Sun Shangxiang, who arrived in a few minutes with three gems in his mouth.

Then came Dia and Kevin, each holding two gems.

But a few minutes passed and Gou Yun still didn't come back.

"Is there something wrong?"

Ezreal glanced at Balliard suspiciously. If there was any unexpected situation, Balliard should be able to detect it. After all, it was quite dark here and there were shadows everywhere. It was easy for him to observe the surrounding situation.

"No, Gou Yun is still digging for gems there, but it seems that he can't get that gem out."

Balliard used his shadow to look at Hook Cloud's situation, and then patted Ezreal's shoulder randomly.

"Good boy, I really have you. A blind cat bumps into a dead mouse. These gems can really be placed down there."

"...Let's go and see the situation together. This may not be the answer we want."

Ezreal still believes that seeing is believing. Balliard has so little experience in this area, what if he saw it wrong? What if Gou Yun triggered some mechanism and is now trapped in an illusion, unable to move.

?

After saying that, he left. Although Ezreal didn't know which compartment Gou Yun was in, there were only nine compartments in total, and the doors between them were not closed. He would know where Gou Yun was after he roared.

He came to Gou Yun and touched the gem buried by his own hands.

"You really can't take it out?"

He touched the gem and then looked at the soil around it.

The soil shouldn't be like this. The holes he dug were relatively large, and the gems were thrown in casually without any intention of filling them with soil.

But for this gem, it seems like someone deliberately filled in the extra space around it.

"I'll try."

Balliard also touched this gem. Well, it gave him the same feeling as the gems on his head.

But... that mage comes from the age of the gods, and this kind of gem cannot be obtained casually. In fact, if it were not related to the sun, it would be impossible to possess this kind of gem.

Didn’t he cultivate the way of life? Well, it’s not impossible. The sun also has the authority of life. So, that mage is actually a believer of the sun? Or a follower?

"Why can't I get out only this gem?"

Sun Shangxiang was "speaking people's words" on the side.

Dia always felt weird, even though he knew that the saber-toothed tiger was his lady, but listening to a tiger talking, this strong sense of violation even made him a little irritable.

"Maybe it's because of the order

Right? Or should we say a rule? Anyway, only this gem meets the corresponding conditions, so the effect will be triggered."

Ezreal already guessed what the problem was,

"Let me see the texture of the gemstone above..."

In fact, Ezreal has already drawn the image of the sun on the entire gem based on the eight gems, which are mainly straight lines extending along the way.

He flew to the gem above his head and made a mark on the image of the sun in his hand. Then he fell back to the ground, took a look at the gem on the ground, and made a mark on the adjacent position.

"Now it seems that the order should be like this. Counting from here, the gems in the odd position are all at the top, and the gems in the plural position are all at the bottom. Moreover, between the upper and lower gems, the position of the lower gem must be to the right.

Some, the numerical performance is just a little bigger."

Ezreal also sighed a little. If they hadn't been lucky this time and threw gems into the potholes casually, one of them would have been thrown in the right place. Otherwise, even if he could still think of the "sequence",

But it has taken a lot of time.

"Place the gems in the hole in order and wait for the mechanism to open?"

Valyard understood what Ezreal meant.

"That's right, let's get started."

With the original potholes still there and no need to search for the location of the gems on their heads again, it only took Ezreal and Balliard a few minutes to put all the gems in place.

"...There is no movement. Is there anything missing? Go check to see if those gems can be taken out."

Balliard didn't like solving puzzles very much, especially when he discovered that there was another puzzle behind it after he had obviously solved it according to his guess.

It felt as if someone was teasing him.

"Your Majesty, none of the gems can be taken out."

Sun Shangxiang was the fastest. He ran out in a swish and came back with a gust of wind, lying down in front of Balliard.

"Let's solve the puzzle well, Izawa."

Valyard left the matter to Ezreal and sat aside in a daze.

"Since the gems cannot be taken out, it means that we have activated the mechanism, but we still need to find the location of the mechanism."

Ezreal doesn't find it strange. Some of the mechanisms in the ruins will not react after you turn them on. But in fact, the mechanism has been activated and the door to the secret room can be opened, but you don't even know the secret room is there.

Um, how do you confirm whether the door can be opened?

This is the situation they are facing now. The key to open the door has been inserted and the door lock has been unlocked, but... where is the door?

As he spoke, Ezreal took out another piece of paper and drew a nine-square grid on the paper.

"I need to write down the flat positions of all the gems, maybe I can find the location of the door."

When Ezreal and Balliard were looking for the gems on their heads, they discovered that these gems were not in similar positions. Some gems were exactly in the middle of the ceiling of that compartment, but some gems were located close to the ceiling.

The southeast corner, the northwest corner, there are all locations, and they are basically different.
