Chapter 544 Silver Leaf Riddles

LoneSparrow couldn’t help but ask, “Why can’t you tell us?”

The fairy huffed, “It won’t be a surprise if I spoil it carly!”

Felix scratched his head.

“What if the reward’s garbage though?”

The fairy puffed out her cheeks, clearly offended.

“It definitely won’t be bad!”

LoneWolf immediately flashed a grin and tried to smooth things over.

“Alright, no bad reward. The little lady’s always right.”

The fairy glanced at him bluntly.

“Can you stop talking? Your smile’s really creepy.”

LoneWolf froze on the spot again.

NorthWind ducked his head and coughed to hold back laughter.

Riley ignored the silly banter and focused on the trial rules.

“How do we find the silver leaves?”

The fairy waved her hand. Three sections of silver carvings on the hall walls lit up one after another.

The first was a stone wall covered in engraved patterns.

The second was a translucent pool of still water.

The third was a cluster of stone slabs floating in mid-air.

“Each silver leaf is hidden inside a mini game,” the fairy explained. “Finish all three, and you’ll complete the trial.”

Hanna asked, “What happens if we fail?”

“You get sent away,” the fairy answered simply. “No injuries, no death. Just no reward. The more leaves you collect, the better your prize.”

NorthWind leaned in and whispered to Riley, “This looks like a hidden dungeon encounter. Mineral must’ve triggered the trial but failed to finish it. That’s why he got teleported out and lost comms.”

Riley nodded.

It all made sense now.

Entering this special zone briefly restored his signal. Once he was kicked out of the trial area, he moved out of comm range or got sent to the main hall, cutting all connection instantly.

Riley glanced at her team.

Everyone had been tense this whole time. Now that they learned this was just a logic puzzle fral, they relaxed.

Nothing in this dungeon came free without a catch, but there was no fatal risk here.

Since they’d already found the place, there was no point in leaving empty-handed.

The team perked up at the thought of rewards.

The fairy clapped her hands happily.

“Let’s start with the first silver leaf!”

The stone wall was etched with eight distinct patterns: leaves, moon, flame, water droplets, deer antlers. arrows, fruit, and stars.

Beneath the patterns were four lines of ancient text. The system auto-translated them into a riddle.

[Fire does not dwell with water; moon does not rest upon leaves.]

[Deer only chases fruit; arrows only aim for moonlight.]

[Stars do not stand beside fire; water must stay close to leaves.]

[Place all eight crests in their correct positions.]

Eight movable stone discs sat at the bottom of the wall, each carved with one of the eight crests. A circular eight-slot groove waited for them to be rearranged.

Felix stared blankly at the setup. “What’s this?”

LoneSparrow stroked his chin. “It’s a logic problem, definitely

Bruce said honestly, “I’m terrible at this stuff.”

LoneWolf immediately took a step back. “I’m old. My brain doesn’t work fast enough for puzzles.”

Hanna shot him a glance. “Thought you had a young mindset a second ago?”

LoneWolf sighed. “Mindset isn’t the same as brainpower.”

Meanwhile, RedBean squatted down in front of the wall and pulled out a board to jot down every rule

NorthWind leaned over to study the layout with her.

“It’s a circular arrangement, so adjacent placement is everything. RedBean analyzed, “Stars can’t watch i water has to be next to leaves, deer chases fruit, and arrows point toward the moon

“Fire can’t be with water, and moon can’t be with leaves, right?”

NorthWind nodded.

“If the deer chases the fruit, the deer has to be right next to it, probably following behind”

Riley studied the arrow crest. The direction was obvious. The arrow had to aim straight for the moon position.

She picked up the arrow disc and found it could rotate freely.

“The arrow spins. The tip has to face the moon.”

RedBean’s eyes lit up. “We can work backward and find the moon’s spot first.”

The group began testing different arrangements.

After watching for a long while, Felix pointed at the deer crest.

“If the deer’s chasing fruit, does it go behind the fruit? But it’s a circle. Which way does the deer face?”

The fairy hovered in the air, swinging her legs. “No hints allowed!”

LoneWolf smiled and tried to charm her.

“C’mon, you’re so cute. Just a tiny hint?”

The fairy crossed her arms firmly. “Don’t talk to me.”

LoneWolf clutched his chest, looking wounded.

In the end, RedBean and NorthWind led the solve.

RedBean listed all the rules, NorthWind judged the circular positioning, Riley tested trial placements, and Hanna eliminated impossible combinations.

After a few rounds of trial and error, all eight crests slotted perfectly into the

Water rested right beside leaves.

Fire sat isolated from stars and water.

The arrow’s tip aimed dead at the moon.

The deer pressed right up against the fruit, as if mid-chase.

A sharp click echoed through the hall.
