The Hao Ren probe looked out of the car window and found that the off-road vehicle was driving on a wasteland that looked nothing special. The road outside was rugged, even if the off-road vehicle with good shock absorption performance was bumpy on this road surface It's great, but apart from the desolation, he didn't see any difference here.
However, Heather Anna signaled that everyone had arrived, and she asked Duncan to drive the car to a high ground in front, and then let everyone get off.
"There is nothing special about looking here." Hao Ren murmured around. This is a small, bare highland. There are broken stones everywhere in the wilderness, and traces of unmelted ice and snow can be seen between the cracks in the rocks. The cold wind of the Arctic Circle is blowing this place day and night, almost erasing all traces of life, and only a few low-growing low-growing plants grow among the leeward stone cracks.
Heather Anna just looked up at the sky and said a word: "Wait."
The sun is slowly tilting. As the sun gets closer to the horizon, two huge shadows gradually extend from behind everyone. Hao Ren turned his head and glanced, and found that the shadow came from two huge rocks on a small mound not far away. The oblique shadow of the two rocks in the sunset formed a shape like a tuning fork, and the gap between the two shadows seemed to be A straight ray of light points to the river ahead.
"In another manuscript we found, the rule of entering the" secret realm "was recorded," Cassandra explained. "There are seven days per month to enter the secret realm. On these days, the sunset The light shines on the gemstones beside the river bank, and the extended light and shadow will indicate the way to the secret place. Because the position of the sun is different every time, this 'door' is actually changing its position. After finding the path, we ca n’t enter directly. We still need a bell made by the wizard to vibrate the water to open the door-the hostess has got the bell. "
"Wizards always like to make such nagging things. In certain eras, they are rushing to make their hideouts very complicated, and the way of opening is also one-by-one odd, sometimes even the owner himself. It takes a long time to open the door of your own home, "Vivian mentioned the events of the year." Initially, this was to protect itself in the pursuit of Demon Hunter, but soon this became a twisted fashion, becoming The wizards secretly contested the standards of knowledge and creativity. I knew a guy who hung up because the door of the house was too complicated: he could not open the door when he returned home, and the result was that Demon Hunter was given to Gank. "
Nangong Wuyue look at Vivian: "Why do you know anyone?"
Lily rolled her eyes: "You might as well ask her why the people she knows died so badly ..."
At this time, the sun had sunk to the predetermined position. The path of the light cast by the two boulders projected on the river with the clearest path. Heather Anna led the person forward: "Go, the road is already Appeared. "
A group of people came to the river in the direction pointed by the light, and then Heather Anna stepped on the water directly towards the center of the river.
Although it is cold here, the river surface is not frozen. I do n’t know whether it is due to climatic reasons or the influence of supernatural forces. The river here has only a little bit of ice on the beach, so Heather Anna walks on the water. When she went up, Lily was stunned for a moment: she thought the other party was not looking at the way.
But soon Duncan and Cassandra followed Heather Anna, and the three vampires walked on the water. The Lily knew that the magical power of the mysterious realm had already worked, so she was confident. Followed up.
Then whistled and fell into the river ...
The Husky girl was so frightened that she jumped out of the water with a shock like an electric shock. There was a large wet area under her knees. Heather Anna turned her head curiously and curiously: "You What are you doing? "
Lily even jumped and jumped by the river, and the anxious hair stood up: "Isn't it possible to walk away on the river! Why did I fall into the water when I walked up!"
"Who tells you that the river can walk away?" Heather Anna's face was inexplicable. "We can walk on water."
Everyone: "..."
Lily froze for a long time, striking the arm of Hao Ren hard with his head: "Imagination is my fault, Imagination is my fault ..."
"You are waiting by the river." Heather Anna waved at the others and went straight to the center of the river. Then she took out a simple copper bell from her arms, and she confirmed the bell again. Position, then gently shake the brass bell.
A thunderous thunderous noise came unexpectedly from the bell!
Everyone didn't expect that after the ringing of the bell, it was this movement, and even Vivian was taken aback. As the bells rang, waves that were almost visible to the naked eye also spread from the foot of Heather Anna. The waves caused the river to violently oscillate. The water surface was pushed out by a circle of ripples by an invisible gas wall, and then these ripples overflow The surface of the river extends all the way to the mud and even rocks on the shore. Everything in the line of sight of Hao Ren seems to be turned into the water surface, and it is fluctuating in the ringing of the bell!
He noticed that something began to appear gradually in this violently undulating landscape. Some buildings and trees that did not exist originally emerged from the wilderness in all directions. A large number of shadows, like houses, appeared in the sky. The river bank was shaking, and a large number of ghost-like figures walked between these houses. He heard a burst of vocal vocals in his ears-these vocals were talking about trivia in a day in a local dialect in Europe hundreds of years ago, Hao Ren subconsciously opened his own translation plugin, a few sporadic sentences The conversation came into his ears, the specific meaning was fragmented, but it sounded like it was discussing the lord.
Suddenly, all the hallucinations are gone, and the scene in front of Hao Ren has stabilized.
The people looked around blankly. They found that they were still standing by the river. The location did not seem to change, but there were many things that did not exist in all directions: a lot of houses, streets, wooden towers, all built along the river bank Small town.
Hao Ren looked at these suddenly appearing houses, and found that their style is obviously very old. Most houses are a mixture of wood and stone. Among the houses along the river, you can see the extended wood. The trestle seems to have been used to dock fishermen's boats. The roads between the houses are mostly dirt roads, and a few places can be seen paved with stone slabs or cobblestones, and black oil lamps are hung on the lamp posts on both sides of the road.
The entire building complex seems to have a history of hundreds of years ... even longer, completely like a village from a medieval movie.
Lily looked up at the sky, and found that the sky also changed. A thick layer of smoke with invisible thickness enveloped the entire town. These smoke and dust seemed to have been fired for days and nights, thanks to them. , The surrounding light becomes very dim, making these quiet buildings even more weird and gloomy.
"This is the secret realm?" Hao Ren's tongue was slightly unexpected, "I thought ... there was only one castle or something."
Heather Anna returned to the team from the center of the river. After hearing the Hao Ren whisper, she smiled: "Because it is a wizard's den, so it feels like a small place?"
"It's too big right now," Hao Ren pointed to Nunu's mouth in the surrounding buildings. "It looks like a town. As a hermit's home, this scale is a bit out of the circle."
"I do n’t know what happened that year, but it seems that the wizard dragged the whole town into his enchantment," Heather Anna nodded. "We have n’t had time to find out what happened in this town. Fact Last day was just my second time here, Kassandra said just now, this secret realm can only come in and go out seven days a month. Last time I came, I caught up with a small tail and stayed here for half an hour. I was rejected. So this time you are also careful: my experience may not be of any help. "
Nanong took the cast materials from his equipment box silently, and began to affix Letaika on the surrounding houses, and poured some pungent magic grease on the ground to ignite, Immediately after the magic oil burned, a constant pale flame was formed. The flame seemed to be completely unaffected by the surrounding wind, but was burning straight. In the light and shadow of the flame, some small shadows seemed to recede from everyone.
Heather Anna frowned as soon as she smelled the magic oil burning: "Cough ... what kind of stuff?"
"Stabilize the spiritual realm here," Nangong Sanba rarely showed a very reliable and serious look, his eyes gleamed with white light in the dark, as if the pupils had disappeared, "I see a lot of here Spirit, our arrival may have disturbed them. "
Lily immediately pulled out the ice and fire claws and flicked: "I am not afraid of ghosts."
Nangong Wuyue also raised his hand: "I am not afraid-I am an elemental creature and have no feeling for spirits."
Hao Ren looked at these two a bit unexpectedly: the famous fish and dog double counseling did not counsel at this time.
Nanong Sanba shook his head: "The spirit itself may not be a threat, but the structure of this place may be maintained by the spirit. After they are out of control, the space may change slightly ... It is better to stabilize it."
"That's up to you," Hao Ren nodded, and then rubbed his arm subconsciously, "Hey, I didn't feel much just now. At this time, when you said how do I feel like a furry ..."
Heather Anna gave him a squinted look: "You are still afraid of ghosts like you?"
"I ’m not afraid of ghosts-think of yourself standing here, there are hundreds of people who are invisible around you are peeping at you from all angles ..."
"Don't say it!" Heather Anna also rubbed her arm suddenly. "I also feel hairy." (To be continued.)
