Law of the Devil Chapter 15: [The greatest female astrologer]
Chapter 15 [Study Treasure II-The Greatest Female Astrologer]
Du Wei picked up a candlestick. After thinking about it, he took off a hanging weapon from the wall. Of course, considering his weak physical strength, he chose a short sword. After groaning for a while, Du Wei picked up a few new candles and carried them into his arms.
Du Wei then stepped into the secret room on the wall.
The faint candlelight can only illuminate the space about two or three steps back and forth. Fortunately, Du Wei is naturally stronger than ordinary people and has a stronger sense of surroundings.
This is a secret passage inlaid in a huge stone wall. Both sides are cold and hard stones. I do n’t know how many years it is. One action, but he still inevitably stirred up the dust and sneezed again and again.
From time to time, he would step on some small stones, and the candlelight swayed, and Du Wei could only hobble forward carefully.
Fortunately, this place still seems to be ventilated. Although the candlelight is swaying, it has not gone out because of lack of oxygen in the air.
I walked for a while, and a step appeared in front of me. The spiral steps all the way down to the ground. The steps are very narrow and made of stones. According to Du Wei's estimation, after walking about 30 steps, he finally saw a small door.
The metal door handle is said to be rusted. Dewey twisted it hard by holding the handle, but found that the door was locked, and the door couldn't open at all. He sighed, and suddenly remembered the anti-engraved sentence on the bookshelf ...
"The spoon is the key ..."
Du Wei thought for a moment, raised a candle and took a picture in front of the door, and finally saw a pattern on the ceiling of the room above the door.
This is a carved pattern. According to the above pattern, Du Wei barely recognizes that this seems to be an astrological picture. He is not very researched on astrology, but because the "spoon" problem is remembered in his mind. Therefore, it was very clear that the "Big Dipper" shaped like a spoon was found on this astrological chart.
"The spoon is the key ..." Du Wei muttered. The ceiling was a bit high for a thirteen-year-old, and he could not reach the ceiling even with his feet. By the dim candlelight, Du Wei studied the pattern carefully.
A candle was almost burned out. When Du Wei lit the second candle, a sudden movement occurred in his heart. He thought of an important question!
The key?
Joke!
If this secret passage was discovered, even if the person who came in did not have the key, wouldn't he find tools to pry the door open? Without the key, the door could be smashed open by rough means.
That being the case, the key is not so important. But the word "key" is so special on that prompt, then it must have a different meaning!
In other words, if you do n’t have a key, trying to smash or pry open it will not work.
I can't explain this "key" literally.
Du Wei sat down and thought for a while. When he got up again, he jumped as hard as he could, raised his short sword and knocked on the pattern of Big Dipper on the ceiling.
Bang!
Du Wei's eyes light up! The sound seemed a bit empty.
He gave up the attempt to pay attention to the door, but bent down, found a gap in the slate on the ground, and then inserted the short sword into the gap, letting the short sword stand on the ground Later, Du Wei reluctantly supported the wall and stepped on the short sword, so that he stood a little taller, although he was still a little dangled, but he could barely reach out to touch the ceiling.
There is a thick layer of dust on the ceiling. Du Wei groped for a while, and felt that the star pattern on the Big Dipper was obviously different from other places. He tried some methods, knocked, twisted, turned, and many more.
Finally, he didn't know where he touched it, and turned it hard, but twisted an astrological stone, and with a click, a floor in the corner suddenly fell!
A black passage appears on the ground, and the passage is all the steps down!
It's done!
Du Wei whispered, and jumped off the dagger with a smile.
Sure enough, this is a deceptive trick! Dewey was convinced that his guess was correct.
The rusty door next to it is simply a blind eye! The real secret is not on this door at all! If the people who came here did not pay attention to the "Big Dipper" according to the prompt, even if the door was opened with brute force, the real secret here would not be found!
Dewey is convinced that the real secret of this place lies in this black passage that sinks on the ground!
He walked to the aisle. The entrance was very narrow. It could only allow a person to enter. The dark inside, Du Wei first lit a candle and threw it in. By the falling candlelight, he could see the steps below were not deep It is about two or three meters high and should be a hidden room.
Du Wei did not go down immediately, but instead sat down at the entrance of the passage and waited for a while. Seeing that there was nothing abnormal below, he carefully proceeded down the steps.
•;
This is a closed room on all sides, with closed stone walls on all sides, and a row of iron cabinets on the walls on both sides, many of which are sealed, and all the locks on them are rusted. And in the middle is a huge stone platform.
This stone platform is about exactly the height of Dewey's waist. There are many esoteric and difficult to read patterns on the table. There is a large arc in the middle. All the dots around it are stars.
Du Wei looked for a moment, felt clueless, and then simply gave up the research on the pattern on the table and focused on searching in the iron cabinet next to it.
The iron cabinets here are all locked. Because of the age, I'm afraid the locks inside have already died of rust. Du Wei worked hard for a long time, just when he felt a little depressed, finally, he cheered and found a drawer that was not locked!
This is the only unlocked drawer in the entire iron cabinet!
After opening, a stone box lies quietly in the drawer.
On the front of the stone blind is a coat of arms of the Rowling family!
Du Wei lifted the box and sat down on the ground, carefully opening it. In the box was a roll of parchment.
This roll of parchment is densely packed with words, and after unfolding the parchment, a hexagonal green crystal like a gem is dropped from the roll.
Du Wei patiently lit the third candle he brought, and then quietly read the text on this parchment ...
"Dear believer:
Dear reader, you must be a descendant of the Rollin family. Then the first thing you must know is that this is a letter from your ancestors. I wrote this letter. I am the wife of the 7th generation of the Rollin family, the astrologer. Mel. "
Seeing the first two sentences, Du Wei couldn't help but be surprised.
Astrologer, Semel?
Of course, Du Wei knows that in the history of the Rowlings, there was a strange family patriarch who was very interested in astrology and even married a female astrologer. The family castle where Dewe is now, the tallest building in the castle, and a tall white tower, was built by the clan chief at that time so that his astrologer's wife could stay at night. Observe the stars in the night sky better from the high tower!
Du Wei didn't expect that this letter was actually written by the patriarch's wife, a female astrologist!
He continued reading.
"... When you read this letter, I hope you understand that what you will face next will be a risky adventure. You may start a number of banned countless The gate of the times, because it is very likely, behind this gate, there will be a taboo field that cannot be touched by humans.
At the same time, this is also the result of my life research.
If you are ready for adventure, then you can take the gemstone that is enveloped together, and then you fumble the stone platform in the room carefully, you will find a socket, after inserting the gemstone, you Will get the most complete information I left. And in order to ensure that the inheritance of information will not fall into the hands of outsiders, starting the information must be the blood of the Luo Lin family blood, please drop your blood on the gem, the blood of the Luo Lin family will guide you to get what I left information. "
At the end of this letter, there is a line of text:
"May the great Rollin family prosper, because I am in love with this family because of my husband!
Your ancestor, Semel • Kira • Rollin's Message ”
Du Wei finished reading in one breath, and could not help feeling a little more shocked!
Because of the family history he has seen, he told Semel •; Kira; Rowling (the real name is Semel; Kira. It was only after he married the Rollin family that he was crowned the Rollin family. The last name) is very impressive.
This woman is the wife of the seventh-generation patriarch of the family, a famous female astrology master. In the field of astrology, she is worthy of admiration! Dewey ’s enlightenment teacher, an old Rothart scholar, is also an astrologist. He occasionally mentioned Dewey ’s ancestor's wife in the year and a half when he had taught him. Full of respect. He even inadvertently mentioned that the female astrologer named Saimel almost seems to be the best astrologer in the empire for nearly two hundred years!
The reason that Dewey was impressed with the name was not because the Semel was a great astrologist, but for another reason.
Because of the records of the Rowling family that Du Wei has read, the female astrologist master is also a woman who loves her husband.
The seventh-generation patriarch of the Rowling family who married her didn't live long, and died about fifty. The Saimel female astrology master, she is obviously an infatuated woman. On the third day after her husband died, she committed suicide and died on the high white tower built for her by her husband.
Before her death, the female astrology master carved a sentence on her tower:
"Because of love, we will live forever."
Due to this last word, Du Wei remembered the famous women in the family history.
Without any hesitation, Du Wei immediately got down and groped under the stone platform, and soon found the socket suggested in the letter.
The socket is exactly the size of the gem. Du Wei immediately cut his finger without hesitation and dropped a drop of blood on the gem.
With the gem inserted into that socket. Du Wei took a subconscious step back two steps ...
In the dim secret room, all of a sudden, a strong light burst out from the patterns on the square stone platform in front of me. This light illuminated the whole room like daylight! The intense light even made Du Wei unable to open his eyes!
Then the lights gathered up little by little, and finally formed a beam of light on the stone platform, and a figure appeared in the center of the beam!
This is not a real person, but a phantom that resembles a real person with these rays together!
This phantom is as big as a real person, and Du Wei can't help but open his eyes!
He suddenly reacted to a very important thing!
This Saimel, the legendary female astrologist master, is probably also an excellent magician! Because all that just happened, and this phantom in front of it, is clearly a kind of magic! !!
The light of the phantom is gradually dimmed, and the intensity of the light is appropriate to the extent that the human eye can bear it.
Du Wei can finally see the figure standing in the beam of light.
A woman wearing a red robe all over, with long silver hair like snow, her whole body is shrouded in a bright red robe, and her face is very beautiful, her eyes seem to be gentle, just the black ones Du Wei's eyes made Du Wei feel a strange feeling.
"The one who opened the message, I am your ancestor Semel •; Kira; Rollin." This phantom spoke slowly: "This is the last magic message I left before I died. The magic circle I left needs to be opened with the magic crystal that infused my own magic power and the bloodline of the Rowlings. Since you can see this message, it means that you are an heir to the Rowlings. Then you can get all the secrets I have unreserved. "
Du Wei looked at this beautiful and vivid woman in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked inside!
You can use a magic circle to keep a message for hundreds of years! This magic ability is already a super-class magic master! !! This Saimel has such a skill!
"I ca n’t know how many years have passed when you started this message, nor can I know how much magic is left in my magic crystal, so please listen to me clearly Every sentence, because, I am afraid there is no magic that can make this magic circle start again. "
Saimel's apparition slowly said.
Although knowing that the Semel in front of him is not real, it is just a phantom left, but Du Wei nodded.
"The first thing I want to make clear is: what I leave to you may bring you endless benefits and endless troubles. Because of the results of my lifelong research, except my husband No one knows. The person who opened this message, since you can come here, then you must have some understanding of astrology, at least you know astrology. So first of all, I want to tell you One of the most important things is: all astrologers in this world are wrong! They, all, everyone, are wrong!
Because, astrology is definitely not a shallow thing to predict the future only by the change of astrology. Although everyone now thinks that astrology is just a kind of prophecy. However, what I want to tell you is ... Astrology is actually a kind of magic and a powerful and profound magic.
Astrologists should not just be regarded as scholars of astrology, nor should they be shallow and illusory prophets.
A true astrologer should have a powerful power comparable to all magicians!
Since the magician can summon the power of the wind, with the help of rain, storms, flames, and all the power of nature. So why can't the astrologist borrow the power of the stars?
Even our astrologer can go even further! Because, I found a power that magicians can't, and even can never master ... this is ... the law! "
