"So simple?"
The Rimewind King was a little dumbfounded.
"What else would it be?" Octopus Lady spread her hands and retorted, "Have you found any other way to crack this secret realm?"
"If you have, I wouldn't mind trying yours first."
The Rimewind King parted his lips slightly. After a long pause, he shook his head.
"Not at all."
"Fine, we'll go with your idea for now..."
"But come to think of it, do you know which authorities correspond to Sacred and Desecration?"
"Why not just try them one by one?" Octopus Lady looked utterly unconcerned.
"As long as they match, the two kinds of crushed stone powder will disappear. If they don't, nothing will happen."
"Even without knowing the exact correspondences, we'll only need to repeat the attempts a few times to figure it out."
"True..." The Rimewind King rubbed his chin. He did not move, but once again fell into deep thought.
"Get to work." Seeing her old friend standing there, Octopus Lady could not help urging him.
"I paid for the Entry Ticket. You can't have come in here just to sightsee for free, can you?"
"Yeah, yeah. Look at you, being so stingy." The Rimewind King curled his lips in disdain.
"I was thinking, with so many black and white stones in this secret realm, are we supposed to smash them one by one, then match them up batch by batch?"
"Sure, we have plenty of time left, but it isn't unlimited."
"What if this doesn't work? We need to leave ourselves some extra time..."
"You mean using puppet dolls to speed things up?" Octopus Lady understood what the Rimewind King meant and ventured, "But if we do that, we might miss the clues that appear when the stones shatter."
"No need to care about clues."
