Law of the Devil Chapter 230: [The Secret in Gilliat! 】
Chapter 230 [The Secret in Gilliat! 】
Du Wei doesn't know how long he has been unconscious, but as a magician, he has a lot of strong control over spiritual power. Before he was unconscious, he had already made some kind of mental hint to himself in his consciousness.
So, in fact, when he woke up from a coma, it was not bright.
The pain in the chest has been alleviated a lot, Du Wei twisted his head hard, only felt that the headache was cracking, and his head stretched out as if something had cracked. When he thought slightly, he felt dizzy.
"You better not disturb, don't think about anything now." Gegewu's voice came from around.
The little mouse once again turned into a tall mouse. God knows that if it is seen like this, it will definitely scare people.
"I have a terrible headache." Du Wei groaned.
"This is normal." Gegewu held a cup in his hands, reached to Dewey's mouth, and poured the contents into it little by little.
Du Wei frowned: "It's bitter ... what ... well, how can I smell a little ice berry? You won't give me this kind of thing, right?"
"It's a little medicine ... I added a little ice berry, you know, ice berry can relieve pain, and this kind of thing can stimulate people's mental power, although it is mostly used as psychedelic medicine ... … Okay, rest assured, I've diluted to the safest amount and won't hurt you. "
Gegewu put down the cup and took another towel to wipe the medicine residue on the corner of Dewey's mouth.
"When can I recover?" Du Wei asked impatiently.
"I must warn you, Lord Duke. My little genius magician!" Gege Wudi tone mocked: "Magician Rule No. 1: Don't overdraw your magic at any time, Otherwise you will die and it will be hard to see. You wo n’t even know that, right?
Du Wei smiled bitterly: "Of course I know."
"Don't think I'm kidding." Ge Gewu warned Du Wei solemnly: "For our magician, spiritual power is our fundamental! And if you overdraw magic power, your mental power will be used more than Once you meet ... then you will have problems in your brain ... I know, there are many crazy guys in history. Because of overusing magic and overdrawing magic, they become idiots! You want to change Are you an idiot? "
"But I heard. Overdraft magic will make me drown." Du Wei swipes his mouth.
"That's a worse result." Gege whispered Du Wei: "Become an idiot, and be an adult, what do you like?"
Du Wei shrinks his neck: "I don't like it."
"Then listen to me, don't try to overdraw your magic in the future, this time you are very dangerous ... If not for the colorful stone ring I made for you ... you are now a man with a bag Skin's skull. "
After sighing, Gegewu stared at Dewey ... the scene was a bit ridiculous: a big mouse stared at you with a hint of blame and regret in his eyes.
But Du Wei couldn't laugh, he felt it. Gegewu is very serious.
"You are now the leader of all of us." Ge Gewu shrugged his shoulders: "Whether we want to do it or not, but this is the fact: you are the leader! Now the fate of many people is on you! I Yes, Hussein, Vivienne, Her Majesty's ... Your subordinates ... If you go wrong, then everyone will mess up. So even if you don't care about your life, In the future, before taking risks, please consider more about the lives of those of us. "
Take ice-berry blend. The effect was really obvious, Du Wei soon felt that his head was not so painful. He reluctantly sat up and felt his ribs, and found that it didn't hurt anymore: "My ribs?"
"Rest assured, I didn't give you a drink of youth and youth." The mouse shook his head: "I will treat it a little bit, although it is not very strong, but with a few bones I can barely do it."
Du Wei managed to climb down from the bed, holding his head with both hands. Stand firm: "What time is it now?"
"If you walk to the window, you can see that the sun has just risen."
Suddenly, Gegewu suddenly had a low voice: "Du Wei, I must apologize to you ... because I couldn't help anything when the prairie siege."
Du Wei waved his hand: "I understand ... you look like this, you can't go out to meet people."
Human beings are one of the cruelest creatures, especially harsh to alien species, and the cruelest of almost all beings. Like Gegewu. If a humanoid mouse walks out. Immediately be regarded as a monster, and even cause panic ... and hatred!
In fact. Among the people under Du Wei's knowledge, only the members of Gegewu who knew the existence of the humanoid mouse were involved in the frozen forest adventure together.
Besides that, in the city of Giliat, there are also Solskjaer and Sete, who also know the existence of Gegewu. Solskjaer has been regarded as Du Wei's old subordinates. The genius of this magic test has been identified by Du Wei as a core member, and the magician's mental acceptance is much stronger than ordinary people. As for Seth ... now that Dewey has been fooled from the magical union by despicable methods, there is no other way for this genius to go except to follow Dewey to death.
The production base in Giliat City is nominally hosted by Solskjaer and Sete, but in fact, in the process of testing and production, the two also secretly solicited the opinions of mice. After all, this rat can go through a complete system of magical learning. The original magician has a much higher level than the two geniuses. The experience and the knowledge of magic theory are even more valuable.
"Quickly, my transfiguration is about to be promoted again ... At that time, I can barely become a human figure ... and then take the opportunity to drink the spring water of youth ..." Ge Gewu pulled up the curtains. Let the outside sun come in, then walk out and blow out the candles, and turn back to Du Wei: "I can become a human again ... But my deformation surgery will be greatly reduced."
Du Wei sighed: "Okay, let's not talk about that. Now there are 20,000 enemies outside the city. Let's think about how to drive those prairie wolves away ... I think you must have any surprises for me See? "
Du Wei blinked.
Gegewu nodded: "It's true ... the batch has been made. The first batch of trials has been completed. I tried it with Solskjaer and it feels good. But you have to know that this kind of Things take a lot of time, especially the saplings, and it is very troublesome to plant them. Sometimes, before we use time to give birth to them, we die by ourselves. The genius idea of the old maniac of Alec is indeed enough. Crazy, but it's too wasteful! God ... if we don't have the spring of time, I am afraid that even if we are as rich as an emperor, we can't afford such a lot of things! This is simply piled up with huge amounts of money ... … And you have to add luck. If you are unlucky, throwing even more money will throw you into the water. "
Du Wei smiled: "Take me to see."
Gegewu turned and walked to the corner, then removed a box on the ground. Pulling up a piece of floor on the ground, immediately exposed a passage below.
Du Wei's eyes widened: "God, when did you get a secret passage here? Is this secret passage leading to our secret warehouse?"
"Yes, that's right." Gegewu sighed: "Don't forget, I look like this, but I ca n’t go out anytime and anywhere, I have to wear a robe every time I go out ... At night. It is very inconvenient, so I just made such a tunnel. From my room, we can directly access Solskjaer and Sete's laboratory, as well as our secret storage warehouse.
Du Wei walked to the secret road and looked at the steps under the floor. The passage didn't look small. He smiled bitterly: "How much time did you spend to make this thing ... this kind of secret road must not let those slaves Come on, you dug it alone? "
Ge Gewu smiled mysteriously: "Don't forget, I'm a rat and a mouse, but I'm the best at punching holes!"
This secret passage is not too wide, but it goes all the way. There are three or four forks below. It was cold and wet, and there was a trace of moss on the surrounding walls.
This is the former Governor's House in the city of Giliat. This Governor's Mansion was in disrepair for a long time, and Dewey walked for a while and saw it out. This secret road was definitely not dug out by the mouse Gegewu alone. Even if it came up with a mouse army, it would never get such a big project!
"Where did this secret passage come from?" Du Wei wondered.
Ge Gewu finally smiled ... It was a weird thing to smile on a mouse's face: "Well, let's be honest, I originally planned to dig an underground passage myself. Big, as long as I can pass when I become a little mouse, that's not difficult. But when I dug down in the room, I found it here. I wish I was also surprised, why is this Governor's House underground , There is such a secret way ... probably by the former governor. "
Du Wei thought about it, and was relieved.
This place in the northwest, especially in the province of Desa, is closest to the aliens. The Northwestern Army is not expected to be invaded by aliens all the year round. Therefore, many households are accustomed to making cellars in their own homes. When a horse thief or a robber on the grassland visits the place, they will hide in the cellar.
It's not unusual for some big families to come up with a secret.
It's just ... looking at the crooked and crooked road in front of me ... this project is too big.
Du Wei also lived in this dilapidated governor's house for a while, but never thought that there was such a place under his feet!
Walking for more than ten meters, a three-way intersection appeared in the tunnel. Gegewu smiled and said, "This place is very big. Honestly, even I haven't made it all clear. I only have about half of it now, and there are exactly two directions leading to Solskjaer. The other direction of our lab is our storage warehouse ... The road ahead is not very easy. Let us be careful. "
Du Wei stopped and looked at the mouse seriously: "You said you didn't go all over here? When did you find out?"
"Uh ... about a month ago." The mouse smiled.
Du Wei's face is a bit ugly: "Why don't you send someone to inform me?"
Ge Gewu seemed to not care, he sighed: "My Duke, I have seen where I have traveled. Although it is large here, I haven't found anything ... if I found anything here If it is Jinshan Yinshan, I will definitely send someone to notify you as soon as possible. Well, I think this is just an underground shelter excavated by the former governor. No need to make a fuss, right?
Du Wei shook his head. His expression was serious: "Ge Ge Wu, you are wrong."
Du Wei stepped back suddenly, lay on the ground and touched the surrounding ground, and then listened carefully to the air and the subtle airflow in the secret passage, and then he stood up and rubbed his hands. Dirt: "My mouse prime minister ... You really don't understand it! Although you are a magician, you obviously don't know architecture! God, do you think this is an underground sanctuary? I tell you. I was a child The study of the architecture of the Roland Empire is definitely not as simple as a sanctuary! "
He scratched the ground and said, "Did you find it? The ground here is not flat, but a slight **** from high to low ... very fine. If you don't observe it carefully, you will not find it! The **** of the ground is to prevent water from flooding! The water flows to the low place, so that the things stored in the high place will not get wet! "Pause. He pointed to the far side of the passage: "Did you hear a slight sound of airflow? Explain that there are hidden vents here, otherwise, this place has been buried for so many years, and you dare to rush down and die soon . "
He pointed to the fork: "The most important thing is, do you think an underground shelter needs so many forks?"
Ge Gewu shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe the people who built this place are worried that the enemy will come down to confuse the enemy?"
Du Wei smiled. He didn't argue with Gegewu again, after all, there was a specialization in the art industry, and discussing architecture with a magician was not a good idea.
"Hey, you went wrong, we are going to the left." Gegewu shouted as Du Wei stepped to the right fork.
"I know, I'm just curious about this place," Du Wei said. Laughing: "Okay. Come on, show me around."
Guge Wu sighed. Only by Dewey.
The mouse ’s guess actually makes sense. This secret road is not as wide as two people, but taller than one person. Going along the fork, you will find that after two turns, there are cellar-like rooms dug out one after another on the walls on both sides.
"This should be used for Tibetans," Gegewu laughed.
"My dear mouse prime minister." Du Wei pointed angrily at these cellars that were as dense as eggs: "How many cellars do you think can be put in if they are used to hide people? Five hundred people Eight hundred people? Damn it ... If it is a shelter for refuge, then it is better to know as few people as possible! It will never create such a place that can hold hundreds of people! And, what does he do with so many rooms? Do you need to sleep in a separate room to escape under the ground? "
Finally, Du Wei measured the height of these cellars, and his face was even more puzzled: "My gege witch! You have probably been a mouse for too long, and you have forgotten how tall a normal person is! You see Although these cellars are deep and large, they are not high in height! If it is an adult man, in this cellar, only the body curled up inside! "
Suddenly, Du Wei looked back at Gegewu: "Also, don't you think it's strange? What have you found after so long?"
"... No." The mouse shook his head: "It's all empty here, nothing."
"It's strange to have nothing." Du Wei frowned. "Here's the underground! But what have we seen after walking for so long? It stands to reason that this underground building is not suitable for mouse ants all year round. Or snakes ... These creatures survive! But do you see a mouse here? Do you see a tadpole or any insects here? I looked carefully just now, there isn't even an ant here! You do n’t Do you feel strange? "
Ge Gewu is finally speechless.
At the end of the tunnel, a wall appears in front of Du Wei.
"This is the end." Guge Wu said, "I have been here and found nothing. Would you like to go back and look in the other direction?"
Du Wei didn't speak. Standing here quietly, looking at the wall, silent for a long time, seems to be thinking about something.
"Not right." Du Wei suddenly shook his head: "I don't think it's right."
He pointed to the wall and the tunnel behind him: "I just walked all the way just now, and I feel that the people who built this place are all in line with the principles of architecture ... but here, this passage In the end, it definitely shouldn't be a wall! From an architectural perspective, you see, we just walked all the way just now, the feet seemed flat, but there was actually a slight **** going up! If this is used to store things, So here is the highest place in this underground labyrinth! Since they were built this way, there should be a cellar or room where things are stored ... definitely not a wall. "
"So. What's behind this wall? Maybe a secret room?" Gegewu was also interested.
"You'll know when you break this wall," Du Wei laughed.
The walls in this secret passage are built with solid northwestern stones. If it is ordinary people, it may be difficult to break a wall, but it is very simple for two magicians.
Gegewu casts a magic of "earth element decomposition". On the wall in front, the soil elements in the originally hard stone immediately decomposed and passed away. The originally hard stone became soft like tofu and was easily excavated.
After digging the wall. Oncoming is a long-stale rancid smell! This unpleasant and disgusting smell, almost did not smoke Du Wei a follower, he covered his nose hard: "God, what the **** is this! Is it a hut?"
Ge Gewu also looked as if he was going to faint at any time: "I'm afraid that the hut is not so smelly!"
The wall is indeed a secret chamber, but it has been sealed for too long and too long, and it was suddenly opened, and the turbid air immediately made people almost suffocated. . Then he randomly made a little wind magic, so that the wind poured in. After a while, the filthy air inside was swept away, and then he entered carefully.
He found a magic gem from his arms, and injected a little magical power at will, and the magic gem flashed light at once, illuminating the secret room.
Under the light. You can clearly see the numerous dust particles floating in the air. Under the dim light, Dewey could see the things in the secret room. Could not help but hold back, and behind him, Gegewu whispered: "God, what are these things?!"
On the ground, there are several corpses lying upside down ... No, to be precise, just a few skeletons!
I do n’t know how many years have passed, the flesh and blood of these corpses has already decayed into dust ... Remembering that when I walked in, the disgusting stench was the corpse smell sealed in this room. Just want to vomit!
The dust particles in the air are mostly the rotten and weathered bodies of these dead people ...
Du Wei's face is pale. If it wasn't for his support, I'm afraid he would vomit on the spot.
But with curiosity, he leaned down, held his breath, and examined the bones carefully.
It stands to reason that even bones can erode even after years of storage! But these skeletons are strange!
First is their texture! Du Wei suddenly found that although some of these skeletons had become oxidized and turned black, they were faint ... but a bit of metallic luster appeared! !!
Strange, how can a skeleton of a creature look like metal?
Tolerating the disgusting feeling, Du Wei tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped his hands, and tapped gently ... then he determined that the texture of these skeletons was extremely hard! If it is a normal bone, with the passage of calcium, it will become brittle and even hollow ... but these skeletons have fine texture and are very hard!
No wonder. When the flesh has decayed, these skeletons are so complete!
The second point ... makes Du Wei startled! !!
These skeletons ... not humans! !!
Or ... they are very human, but not human!
For example, in front of a skeleton, it seems that the general outline is a human, but in terms of volume and height, it looks more like a dwarf ... but the bones are thick and extremely strong!
Or ... is ... the dwarf in the legend? !!
There are several other skeletons, most of which are similar to humans. But some individual places, such as the shape of teeth, skull, and fingers ...
Du Wei glanced back at Gegewu and found that the rat looked dumb.
"Gegewu." Du Wei smiled as if a bit infiltrating: "You know what I think of when I look at these things?"
"What?"
Du Wei took a deep breath:
"Remember, we saw the dragons killed by the dragons on the mountain guarded by the dragons. Are those strange creatures trying to break through the mountains and return to the land of Luolan? Those half-human and half-beasts are said to be Is it a race exiled by ancient gods? "
Gegewu is speechless!
No doubt ... the skeletons in front of me are clearly the kind of thing!
There are six skeletons in this room. After reading one and one of Du Wei, the first two are short and stout ... maybe dwarves. The next three. It seems to be some kind of half-orc monster.
To Dove's surprise, this is the last one!
"Oh! Gegewu, come and see! This is a human! A pure human !!!" Du Wei exclaimed, he bent over and knelt beside the last skeleton.
From the shape of the bones. Outline, characteristics ... This is clearly a human skeleton! It's strange ... why is there a human in so many monsters?
Strangely, the human skeleton is far away from the monsters, but instead shrinks into the corner. From his posture, he lies on the face and faces the corner. He still held his hand forward.
Du Wei stroked the skeleton lightly. He was surprised to find that this guy who was clearly human was like his monsters ... it seemed to be a metal texture, very hard!
If the monster's natural bones are different from humans, it's easy to understand ... but this human, how did he do it?
Du Wei's heart was full of mysteries, and he couldn't help but stay.
Suddenly. Gegewu went behind Dewey. As if something was found: "Du Wei! Look! What's on the wall!"
"Oh?"
Du Wei heard the words and looked at the corner, sure enough. Just now I was excited, and there was an omission. At the moment, under the light of the magic gemstone in my hand, above the corner, there is a pattern carved with something sharp!
From the dying pose of this dead human, it is very likely that he was carved to the ground before his death!
And ... the pattern is deeply carved, it's a three-pointer! There are no tools here, so it can be explained as ... was he hard carved the bone with the tip of his finger?
"This pattern ..." Ge Gewu suddenly became strangely strange.
Du Wei stared at the pattern carefully, his eyes showed complicated eyes, surprised, unbelieving, even fearful, and curious ...
Because this pattern is a flying flag!
And in the middle of the banner, a skeleton with staring, hollow eyes, as if smiling at people!
Scarlet skull flag? !! !!
The scarlet skull flag of the Witch King on the prairie? !!
At this moment, Du Wei's heart beats like drumming. How did the skull flag of the Witch King on the grassland appear in the underground secret chamber of the Governor's Mansion, the capital of the Empire Province?
Is this dead human being on the grassland? Is it a shaman shaman? ?
And how do you explain these dead monsters? !!
On the land of Roland, how could there still be these exiled race creatures?
Finally, a clue was finally discovered by Dewey!
He forced open the dead man's bones and found under him, on the solid stone floor. A few lines of small characters are drawn!
These lines are extremely scribbled. What makes Dewey even more depressing is that the person who wrote these lines is obviously dying. Before the end of his life, his mind was a bit unclear. It's all messy! For a while it was the words of the empire, but for a while it was mixed with a few words that I couldn't understand. I thought it was the language on the grassland.
It's hard to read such a thing. It makes people look even more mindless.
The content of this thing is as follows:
"The last test was successful ... but the results proved my failure, Bai He worry, my best disciple, you are right. Unfortunately, I only realized this at this moment. Although not reconciled, But the last test subject also died ... (here is a string of texts that Du Wei could not understand) ... the human body cannot bear, I have proved this, using my blood and life ... (again (A paragraph that can't understand) ... I finally understand that your move to take away the Witch King is correct. You are the most suitable person to lead the Daxue Mountain. My land is indeed a lunatic ... But above the **** skull , Should have my name! "
When the text was written here, suddenly a large piece of space was vacated. The man apparently carved these on the slate with the bones of his sharp fingertips. There are still traces of blood that have dried up on the slate.
Here is a long, long scratch. It is probably that this person was in extreme pain when he wrote these places. Fingers scratched a terrible deep finger mark on the slate!
The last paragraph is much clearer!
"If anyone can see these, then you will be the one I choose. I don't know how many years will be before anyone can see these. Whether you are Roland, Prairie, orc, elven, dwarf ... I will give you your greatest wealth! The left corner of the room is surrounded by five corners, and the witchcraft of my life is hidden under the slate! Whether you like it or not. If you learn it, you will become my fourth disciple!
In return, I will give you a heavy task ...
One day, I went up to Daxue Mountain and told Bai Hechou that although he defeated me and took away the position of the Witch King, it was my whole life. Never regretted having such an apprentice! "
Attribution at the end:
"The 364th Witch King of Daisetsuzan. Gu Lanxiu, a perfect pen! May the sacred blood-colored skull flag. Bless me Daisetsuzan!"
Du Wei read all of this in a breath, and couldn't help but be astonished! !!
Witch King? Actually a former Witch King? !!
The Gegewu around him also read this article, raised his head and stared at Du Wei. One person and one mouse looked at each other for a long time, both of them looked strange.
The two were silent for a long time, and sighed at the same time. Du Wei smiled bitterly: "It's really a great discovery !!!"
Ge Gewu stretched out his claws and scratched his head with a strong smile, and said with a bitter smile: "Well, this thing is a last word of a guy called Gu Lan Xiu, he is a former land witch king ... he was his disciple , A guy named Baihe sadly defeated and was taken away as the Witch King ... came to our Roland Empire ... and ... "
"Okay, Gegewu." Du Wei waved his hand, his smile was very strange: "This last word brought a lot of information ... and also brought a lot of questions!"
"But how can a witch king be in the Roland Empire? And also in the governor's house of a provincial capital ?! Can you spend such a large amount of effort to build such an underground maze?" Gegewu wondered.
Du Wei raised an eyebrow: "I just can answer this question."
He pointed to the last drop on the slate: "I happen to know the name of Gu Lan Xiu."
He then walked slowly: "When I came to the northwest, I carefully checked the names and names of every governor and lord in the decades before the province of Desa. He has been the Governor of Desa Province for more than ten years ... just after the last Empire and Northwest War, he died! And he is the last Governor of Desa Province in the history of the Empire! After Desa The province became the domain of the aristocracy, and then became the governor and governor of Bonham. Now, it is my territory ... I just happened to see his name. "
Looking at the strange expression of the mouse, Du Wei said, "I saw it from the official information of the empire ... you know, I read the book but never forget it."
"Help ..." Rat Guge Wu groaned: "A former Witch King, exiled to the Empire after losing power, can also explain ... But how can he be Governor?"
"This ... I can't explain it." Du Wei shook his head.
What he didn't know at the moment was ...
Lan Hai, a disciple of the Daxue Mountain, can become a university student in the capital that even the royal family has great respect for.
So, as a former Witch King, although he was the Witch King who fell down, but with the power of such a powerful man, he entered the empire to conceal his identity and became a governor in a barren land on the edge. It seems nothing strange. What's more, the governor of such a ghost place in Desa province was originally a hot potato that everyone could not avoid, and mixing such an official position was not too difficult for a strong person.
The two looked at each other, and the mouse Gegewu immediately jumped up: "Fast! The thing under the slate! Didn't this Witch King say that he left what he learned ... witchcraft? I can always be right Prairie shaman shaman is very interested in witchcraft! "
However, as they turned over the slate, they both froze.
The Witch King named Gu Lanxiu did not lie. He did leave his own witchcraft. This is a booklet, apparently soaked with some medicine, and it has not decayed or destroyed.
But ... the words above, Du Wei and Ge Ge Wu both can't understand a word!
"It is the text of the prairie." Ge Gewu sighed: "We need translation."
Du Wei smiled, his smile was very sinister: "Are you translating? Don't forget, now outside the city, there are more than 20,000 grassland cavalry ... Can be a translator, but there is more than enough!" >
