"Don't rush, Klee. If this is an energy shield, it must have a power source. As long as we find the source, we can break it. Everyone, search the vicinity for any related devices..."
Jean soothed the slightly anxious Klee and then analyzed the next course of action.
"Okay! Klee will go first!"
Klee agreed and began searching for clues along the edge of the energy shield.
"Wait for Klee, slow down!"
Jean and Barbara, finding Klee had disappeared in the blink of an eye, quickly followed her footsteps.
"In that case, Feng Yi and Lumine, let's start searching from this side..."
Paimon pointed in the opposite direction from Jean and the others.
"Here, here..."
Feng Yi and the others circled the hemispherical energy shield for half a loop and discovered several energy steles inlaid with gems.
"These things wouldn't be placed here for no reason. I think there must be a reason..."
Paimon looked around, trying to figure something out.
But with her limited intelligence, it was too difficult for her.
"Wow, Brother Feng Yi, did you guys find something?"
Just then, Klee and her group, who had been searching from another direction, happened to walk over.
"Little Klee, we found these stone pillars that look like devices. Since they are placed here, I think they must be related to the energy shield. As long as we crack these devices, we will definitely be able to open the energy shield, but... I still don't understand the pattern of these stone devices..."
Paimon waved to the approaching Klee and the others, then continued to rest her chin on her hand, looking thoughtfully at the stone pillar devices.
"There are three sets of devices, and the emitted light converges at the same point. Hmm... If you look closely, you can see that a small stand is placed in front of the light emitters. Judging by its shape, it seems like something needs to be embedded into it..."
Jean followed closely, carefully examining the three devices.
"Klee doesn't understand. Can you explain it simply?"
"An irregular circle, also a sector. If we were by the sea, could it be seashells?"
"Besides seashells, it could also be fish scales..."
Everyone speculated about the items that might be needed for the embedded shape.
"Cough, cough, everyone, think about it. Since it's a device placed in front of a light emitter, does it need to... transmit light?"
Feng Yi, who already knew the answer, guided everyone's thinking towards objects that transmit light.
"That's right!"
Klee's eyes lit up.
"That's right!"
Paimon exclaimed, clapping her hands.
"Now that you mention it, I seem to recall something. I remember reading in a miscellaneous text that this is a special device that uses light. The requirement is that the arrangement of light must meet certain conditions or paths. Only after the correct arrangement can the mechanism be activated..."
With Feng Yi's hint, Jean suddenly remembered a book in Lisa's library that recorded light mechanisms.
This way, Jean was certain that these three devices were the key to opening the energy shield.
"Everyone, have you noticed? Although the light emitted by the devices is white, they themselves contain three colors: red, yellow, and blue. Does anyone have any thoughts?"
It would have been most appropriate for the alchemist Albedo to explain this kind of common scientific knowledge, but due to Feng Yi's participation, Albedo did not accompany them on this island trip.
Therefore, Feng Yi had to take Albedo's place and continue guiding everyone to solve the puzzle.
"It's the letter!"
"That letter!"
Paimon, Klee, and Barbara exclaimed in unison. They all thought of the letter Feng Yi obtained after defeating the Automaton Knight, which said: [The three-colored keys are guarded by strange fish]!
"Entrusting precious things to greedy spirits in the sea... Is that what it means?"
Jean seemed to understand the meaning of the song in the letter.
"Hooray! Hooray! Let's go fishing!"
Klee was very happy. It turned out that solving the puzzle required catching fish. This was exactly to her liking.
Did the "Dodo-Mao Lord" do this mechanism because she liked fishing?
It seems the Dodo-Mao Lord is quite nice!
"Wait, Klee. Before we go fishing, we need to figure out where to fish and how to fish..."
Jean grabbed Klee, who was about to run to the seaside. Fish would definitely be caught, but some things needed to be clarified first.
"I, I, I have something to say!"
Paimon raised her little hand and said mysteriously.
"On the way here, I saw a giant conch shell over there, and there were many fish swimming around it. Maybe the fish we're looking for are there..."
"Little Paimon is so reliable! Let's go quickly!"
Feng Yi praised her, and then, led by Paimon, they arrived next to the giant conch shell.
It was called a conch shell, but it was actually a rock shaped like a conch.
There were indeed many fish swimming around the conch rock, but they didn't find the fish with red, yellow, and blue scales that they were looking for.
"Why aren't there any fish with red, yellow, and blue scales? Did I think wrong?"
Paimon felt ashamed and disappointed.
"The location should be correct, but we are still missing a bait..."
Feng Yi shook his head, wondering where Alice had hidden the gems from the original work.
"Everyone, look what I found!"
Barbara suddenly ran over from a distance, saying excitedly.
"Light red like petals, light blue like waves, light yellow like autumn leaves... These three gems are so beautiful!"
Barbara showed the three gems in her hand to everyone.
"Barbara, where did you find these gems?"
Feng Yi's eyes lit up. He had been worrying about it, and unexpectedly, Barbara found the bait gems to attract the fish the next moment.
"On the hillside over there."
Barbara giggled. Girls are always attracted to shiny gems.
These gems, illuminated by the sun, refracted brilliant light. Although it flashed past due to the angle, she still caught it with her keen eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey, Feng Yi, this is important. Don't stare at the gems anymore. We still need to find the bait to attract the fish..."
Paimon flew in front of Feng Yi and waved her hand in front of his eyes. She didn't expect Feng Yi to like gems too.
However, finding the bait was the priority now.
There would be plenty of time to admire gems later.
"We already have the bait!"
"Where?"
"Here!"
Feng Yi pointed at the gems in Barbara's hand.
Because Paimon was blocking the way, she mistakenly thought Feng Yi was referring to herself and quickly hid behind Lumine.
