Zhao Long picks up the December lock again.
At this point Vantage’s eyes were dead on Zhao Lang’s hand.
The Lupin lock was difficult to say the least.
Because on the surface, you can’t see much of a clue.
The only way to solve it is to understand its structure, and the general way it is put together, and to make more attempts.
Zhao Lang looked at it carefully, and then used a slight force with both hands.
It didn’t move.
Vantage’s heart slowly sighed with relief at this point, and he said that this December lock, was more than simply an added part to use.
Rather, it was interlocked, in which there were four conditions for unlocking it, and the order of force before and after was not the same.
If any of the steps were wrong, it could not be unlocked.
Just at this moment, Zhao Lang suddenly laughed and said
“Tch, it’s actually a quadruple linkage.”
After saying that, Zhao Lang placed his four fingers against the four corners, then exerted slight force in turn.
There was a click, and Wang Tiezhu’s body shook with it.
The December lock, instantly unlocked, the
Vantage’s breathing was gradually getting heavier at this point.
Unlocking this, Zhao Lang’s interest was undiminished.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a toy like this, and it’s so full of childhood memories that I simply can’t stop.
With great interest, he picked up the twenty-four section lock on the side, looked at it carefully for a while and smiled.
“There are twenty-four knot locks? Tsk, tsk, tsk, you guys are playing quite high end, well, it’s just that the set is a bit old.”
The twenty-four-section lock is similar to the December lock, except that the number of combinations has been increased.
Zhao Lang’s hand quickly fumbled and tested on the locks.
Wherever his hands went, Vantage’s eyes followed.
Soon, two quarters of time passed.
But all three present were oblivious.
Suddenly, Zhao Lang’s eyebrows were raised and a smile appeared on his face.
The eight fingers on his hand, from all angles, exerted a slight force at the same time.
Ka!
With a soft sound, the twenty-four-section Lupin Lock came apart straight away!
Twenty-four parts, clinking and falling on the table.
But Vantage felt all these parts smashing into his heart!
With a few shivers in his voice, Vantage spoke of the
“Over two quarters of an hour to unravel?”
A few moments of embarrassment surfaced on Zhao Lang’s face, and he was ashamed to say that
“I know it’s a bit slow, mostly because it’s been a long time since I’ve played.”
This level of lupin lock is only about ten minutes in front of an expert who is familiar with it.
It did take Zhao Long twice as long, which was a bit slow.
Wang Tiezhu, on the side, had long been frozen on the spot.
His mind was a blank.
But when Vantage heard these words, his face turned almost instantly white, and he also felt a hint of humiliation that
“You…”
But looking at Zhao Lang’s appearance, it did not look like he was faking.
For a moment, he didn’t even know what to say.
Zhao Lang just happened to see the Thirty-six Circumference Locks on his hand.
At once, his eyes lit up and
“You actually have this kind of alien Lupin lock?”
The basic style of the Lupin lock is all about various different small pieces of wood that fit into each other and then form the whole.
The one in front of me, however, was a sphere with many small pillars of varying lengths inserted into it.
This kind is known as a shaped Lupin lock.
Generally speaking, it is more difficult than the normal ones, but also more interesting.
Zhao Lang asked with a few moments of anticipation at this time that
“Can you play it for me?”
Vantage froze for a moment and looked down at the Thirty-Six Perimeter Lock in his hand, then turned his head to look at the parts scattered all over the table.
Only then did he finally look at Zhao Lang who had an expectant plus excited face.
Vantage hesitated for a moment with a hard-to-understand expression, but finally gritted his teeth and handed it to Zhao Lang, saying that
“You try it, my lord?”
Seeing this scene, Wang Tiezhu, who was having a hard time coming back to his senses at the side, froze once again.
He could remember what Vantage had said before, Mozi’s last words, that whoever unlocked this lock would be the next Vantage!
Zhao Long immediately took it up with excitement and said that
“This teacher of yours is not a bad person, not at all petty.”
“You made this ball, didn’t you, and the hand work is good too.”
“Don’t worry, this time when we build the new farm, I promise to find a good job that is easy and profitable.”
When Vantage heard this, he opened his mouth, but could not say anything, and finally said that
“Then thank you, my lord.”
Zhao Lang was playing with the Lupin lock while saying that
“What’s polite, you have no children anyway, from now on you can stay in the manor without fear.”
“And… Tsk, this ball is a bit dirty, it’s almost encrusted ah, remember to wash it later.”
Who would dare to wash the Vantage token?
Zhao Long had a chat, but soon became engrossed in this Lu Ban lock, and while playing with it, he muttered to himself.
“Well, in what pattern is this thing arranged?”
“Jumping two into three? No.”
Soon, half an hour had passed.
Zhao Lang still didn’t seem to have found a clue.
Seeing this scene, Vantage was slightly relieved, yet with some regret.
He hoped that Zhao Lang could open it, otherwise he would not have given him a try.
Over the centuries, this had become a heartache for successive generations of Vantage.
It was somewhat humiliating to be a Mohist but not be able to hold the true token of his school.
But he did not want Zhao Lang to open it, after all, Mozi’s last words were in front of him.
Only Vantage himself knows the mixed feelings.
Looking at Zhao Lang’s torn look, Vantage coughed gently, intending to persuade him to give up.
“My lord, it’s been half an hour, why don’t we…”
Before Vantage could finish his words, he heard Zhao Lang suddenly say, excitedly
“Found it! It’s actually an equivariant series, the designer’s mind is too roundabout!”
The two men could not understand what Zhao Lang was saying, and immediately afterwards, they only saw Zhao Lang’s hands constantly pressing the small pillars on the orb.
One by one, the little pillars rose and fell, seeming to have a special rhythm!
Both of their eyes were a little dazzled.
Before long, there was a click in the air!
Both of their bodies shuddered after it in unison.
Then the wooden ball, which had been wrapped in pulp, suddenly split down the middle!
Revealing an ancient jade pendant.
There was a pang.
Wang Tiezhu on the side directly sat down on his chair with his buttocks, his eyes looking at Zhao Lang in shock.
There was only one thought in his mind.
“I have witnessed the birth of a new Vantage Point?”
It was only then that Zhao Lang breathed a slow sigh of relief that
“Whew! It’s finally unraveled.”
Handing the item over, Zhao Lang smiled and
“This Lupin lock has quite a few tricks up its sleeve, and there’s actually a prize.”
And Vantage received the jade pendant in Zhao Lang’s hand in a dumbfounded manner, and then looked at Zhao Lang, his mouth opened several times, but no words came out.
Zhao Lang also noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of the scene, and looking at the sun, it was almost noon.
At once, with a little embarrassment, he said that
“Oops, I just got lost in the game, which delayed you guys from having breakfast.”
It was only then that Vantage reluctantly came back to his senses and said, in a dry voice.
“That’s not a problem.”
Zhao Lang said, with an embarrassed snap of his head, to
“I’ll have someone bring you breakfast later.”
“By the way, do you have any craftsmen you know well, Master? Carpenters, blacksmiths, stonemasons, all of them!”
Vantage looked at Zhao Lang, put the jade pendant slowly into Zhao Lang’s hand and said yes.
“Your Excellency, take the jade pendant and go to Xianyang City Square, you will naturally find the person you need.”
This matter, he alone could no longer make the decision.
He could only summon all the Mo family elders and discuss it together!
