At first, Third was even hesitant to do so because no one knew what was in it and if they were supposed to open it. He had already lifted the lid. The leader bent down to look inside. He inserted his left hand. When he got what was inside, he covered the jar again. He was holding another silver card, like the 5 cards with riddles they found earlier.
Choose the right path between the four. The three of them cast a grave danger.
Clue: The five great riddles
Good luck
That's all that's written. Simple as it may be, the bottom line is if they can solve another riddle. Everything came to mind. When Second looks up, there are labels of the four paths they can take, divided by cubicles.
Path 1 - The brow
Path 2 - The throw
Path 3 - The row
Path 4 - The owe
"What are those? They say the path must be right or they will be in danger." Fourth reminds them of the 6th card's warning to them.
It has to do with the riddles they answered, so it will just be easier compared to answering the riddles for the first time.
"Path 2," First said. They might be thinking the same.
"How can you tell?" they chorused.
"Let's hurry, or the gold team might overtake us."
They had no choice because everyone was alarmed at the possibility that the other group might outdo them. They just kept running until there were another four paths. She breathed a sigh of relief because they were safe and not perished because the three paths had an associated 'grave danger'. If nothing bad has happened, path 2 is the correct answer.
"What next?" Aeith posed everyone.
"The clue has to do with the riddles we answered earlier. The words in card no. 1 are 'death throe', of the four choices, the closest being the same when pronounced is path 2 being 'the throw'." She explained because First does not have the time and patience to.
"Oh"
She read the labels in the second stage.
Path 1 - A treasure buried in a secured container
Path 2 - A treasure buried under the ground
Path 3 - A treasure buried in a chemical substance
Path 4 - A treasure buried in a haystack
"It's the last one!" Third stated.
They seem to understand how they got the answer because there is no longer a trace of astonishment on their faces. They entered path 4 while running, and they were in the third stage.
Path 4, because apart from the 'hay' mentioned in card no. 2. As for carbon and oxygen, a diamond can withstand both when exposed.
Path 1 - 2 colors
Path 2 – 3 colors
Path 3 – 4 colors
Path 4 – colorless
"The 1st" - Ninth
Path 1 because it is said to be dichromatic, that is, consisting of two colors.
They ran into path 1, and they were already in stage 4.
Path 1 - round
Path 2 - rhombus
Path 3 - diamond
Path 4 – triangle
"3" – Sixth
Path 3 is also mentioned in card no. 4 the diamond.
Path 1 - poisonous
Path 2 - touchable
Path 3 - deadly
Path 4 – sensitive
"I think 2 is the closest answer!" – Aeith
Path 2 because card no. 4 states, not deadly when you touch 'it', which is the treasure, so the closest answer is path 2. They ran into path 2. She noticed that this path is probably longer than the other path, and they seemed to be turning. The path is not straight. It seems to curve to the left.
All the answers in the riddles are regarding the treasure they are looking for.
After a long run, there was a big door again. They went near it and wrote something with their fingers because it was also dusty.
WHAT'S THE PASSCODE?
There's another piece of stuff written on the door. A code is now required. She thought it was over; there was just another door blocking them from the treasure they were looking for and looking forward to.
But is there no question related to the card no. 5?
They looked at each other for a moment because they didn't know what the passcode was.
"24132" First spoke. "Those were the numbers where we entered the paths."
Second understood right away what First was talking about. Those are the path numbers they took earlier. He remembered it just as Third remembered earlier the directions they took inside the maze.
Third promptly wrote the passcode with his right index finger on the dusty door. A few seconds later, it opened, and they entered. The door closed again.
In front of them was a small platform with five steps up. In the middle of a wooden platform, there is a wooden box. They opened it, and inside it was full of a haystack. They would have just closed it again when their eyes saw something shining. All they could think about was that the gold team was ahead in getting the treasure. Third picked up the glowing object and lifted it, a necklace.
Necklace with an almond-shaped pendant made of diamond material. Mixing colors of silver and gold. This is Author's alleged treasure. Everyone looked at and held the pendant, a symbol that they had won.
She now understands why there is no question related to riddle 5: 'Enough Lose', First's answer is correct. Why 'enough lose' if they win? First said, you just reverse the first letters of 'enough' and 'lose', making it letters L and E. Now you reverse the meaning of 'enough lose' = 'abundant win'.
When they touched the pendant, they felt that they had won. Everyone smiled as they stared at that pendant. After the struggles that they had, it all made them speechless. It was as if in an instant... they forgot their problems.
