The factorial of nine.

Does it need to be tried one by one?

In this case, even by year of the monkey, he might not find the correct combination.

Without the right permutation, it is absolutely impossible to open.

Luo De sighed inwardly, this is even harder than winning the lottery.

"What should I do?"

Luo De was really reluctant to give up on this ruin.

This first layer is likely the dormitory for wizard apprentices.

So is the layer below the residence of official wizards?

If not, it could be the laboratory, training ground, or even warehouse for the wizard apprentices.

In any case, with a rune code lock, it is definitely not simple.

Luo De was unwilling to give up.

He rallied his strength, began rereading the foundational tome on runes, looking for other methods of solving the puzzle.

Patiently learning, Luo De indeed found other ways to solve it in the tome.

Using powerful spiritual strength, directly destroying the rune array on the stone door, forcibly opening it.

But this method filled Luo De with more despair.

Because the spiritual strength necessary to destroy this rune code lock must reach fifty points,

— this level of spiritual strength is that of an official wizard.

"Hehe."

Luo De could only helplessly let out two bitter laughs, tapping powerlessly and boredly on the table.

It seems he'll never open the lower layer in this lifetime.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Just as Luo De was feeling helpless, the door was suddenly knocked.

Luo De sighed and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Milly's small figure appeared at the entrance.

"Gone."

She shook an upside-down honey jar, looking at Luo De expectantly.

Luo De calmed his emotions and patiently asked, "Is this the last jar?"

Milly nodded, then shook her head, her little ponytail swaying with the motion,

"Sister said there are two jars left for you, she won't let me eat them."

Last time, Luo De bought ten jars of honey from Man Xiu, with Avril and Milly each getting two jars, Luo De also having two jars, and the remaining four for potion-making and daily use.

Luo De hardly ate any, but Avril and Milly consumed their portions quickly.

Especially Milly, in just over a month, hers were finished.

The jar Milly currently holds is not hers, but Avril's.

"It's okay, tell her, you can eat it."

Luo De said with a smile, gently patting the young girl's head.

"Thank you!"

Milly hugged the jar and jumped out joyfully, forgetting to close the door.

Helpless, Luo De could only get up to close the door himself.

"I wish I could be as carefree as Milly."

Looking at the figure outside the door, Luo De couldn't help but think, perhaps he should, like Milly, eat more sweets, and make himself feel better.

"Wait..."

Watching Milly, Luo De suddenly realized something, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes,

"I can't win the lottery myself, but Milly can!"

"If she's truly the lucky witch, maybe she can directly order the correct sequence of these nine runes?"

Thinking of this, Luo De's hope was reignited!

He quickly chased after Milly, lifted her up from behind, and ran straight back to the workspace!

"Hey, hey, hey?"

Milly was startled but became curious upon realizing it was Luo De who carried her.

"Not allowing honey anymore?"

Milly looked at Luo De with big eyes.

"Don't worry, help big brother with something, and when finished, all the honey is yours!"

Luo De said to Milly, "And if you succeed, I'll make sure you have sweets every day!"

"Sweets?"

Milly blinked her big eyes as she asked.

"Just as sweet as honey!"

Luo De nodded with a smile, reaching out to stroke the young girl's head.

"Okay!"

Milly clapped her hands excitedly, laughing brightly, "Sister Bai and Sister Hei also want sweets!"

"Sure, no problem!"

Luo De loudly promised.

Though unsure why, Luo De knew that Sister Bai and Sister Hei referred to Avril and Vivian.

Seated at the wooden table, Luo De posed a question to Milly, pointing at the runes on the paper:

"With these nine patterns, how would you sequence them?"

Luo De asked gently, eyes harboring a trace of expectation.

Milly focused on the patterns, her brows furrowing slightly, with a hint of struggle.

The expression caught Luo De's attention.

If Milly just randomly pointed, it might not have much special meaning.

But Milly's expression clearly showed she was pondering.

However, Milly didn't understand runes, so what was she thinking?

"No hurry, take your time."

Luo De softly encouraged.

Milly didn't respond, remaining silent for a long while, she extended her petite hand.

"This is the first,"

"The second,"

"The third,"

...

Luo De hurriedly marked the numbers according to Milly's pointed sequence.

"This is the last one..."

As soon as Milly's words fell, she suddenly collapsed softly into Luo De's arms.
