What is this sentence? A threat? A provocation? Or unwillingness? Resentment?
Du Wei frowned deeply, but retracted his hand. His mind could not calm down for a while, so he subconsciously pushed the coffin lid back.
Tonight... I really discovered a lot of secrets!
With a wry smile between his brows, Du Wei sighed deeply.
Looked around.
Well...if this is the cemetery where the Messiah is buried, then...how to get out?
There seems to be no exit around.
Du Wei was frowning and thinking. As soon as his mind moved, he immediately felt the magic fluctuations on the "Eternal Sun Disk" above change. Soon, a beam of light shot down and shone on himself.
The surrounding space and light seemed to be distorted for an instant. After a moment, the light dissipated, and he was immediately surprised to find that he had returned to the central platform of the circular square!
"Yi? You came out so easily?" Du Wei couldn't help rubbing his eyes.
But around me, it was very clear that the square was full of circular pits blasted out by magic cannons, and the circular platform at the foot was carved with a dense map. It was indeed back to the underground maze just now.
No matter what, Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
He was a little nervous due to his previous experience. Before entering the Demon Temple, it was also a separate space opened up, but it seemed to be imprisoned inside, and it was difficult to come out. But...I think this place is where Mi is buried.
Saiyan's location is not a prison, so there are no magic restrictions.
He was breathing a sigh of relief, but suddenly he felt that the map under his feet seemed... changed?!
I saw that the huge circular platform under my feet was still faintly emitting a soft light. The light was not dazzling, but the traces of the originally carved map on it seemed to be carved out one by one under the light of this magic power.
The traces, those routes seemed to gradually become softer, and then began to twist, deform, and change their original positions. Finally, the lines were reorganized one by one...
"Changed, changed?"
Du Wei's eyes widened.
These lines moved gently like running water, and finally became fixed. Du Wei looked at it carefully. He added the memories in his heart to confirm it, and finally shouted out in a low voice.
"Map! It turned into what the imperial capital looks like now?!"
Indeed, this map seems to have undergone an independent "update". The original traces are like the topography of the Magic City ten thousand years ago. But now, with the shining of magic light, the patterns on the map have completely changed.
It has become the current terrain of the imperial capital!
The imperial city in the city, the temples in the east and west, and the magic union. There are also city gates and streets... Du Wei compared them one by one with the location of the imperial capital that he recognized in his heart, and it turned out to be exactly the same!!
"This thing will update itself." Du Wei exclaimed.
However, the surprise is obviously not just that!
The magic light on the entire platform under my feet still has not faded away. I can only see the lines one by one, gradually shining with light. Then, on the huge platform map, countless bright spots began to appear dotted. Those bright spots,
Some are big and some are small, but they only appear on the map bit by bit, and then quickly become large areas, densely packed, like ant colonies. It is impossible to calculate clearly with the naked eye. Thousands and thousands...and
, the number is still continuing to increase!
"These...these are..."
Du Wei's eyes widened. Some of those bright spots stayed in place after they emerged, while others seemed to be still moving...
Finally, sporadic bright spots began to appear around the map, such as the north side of the river on the map, one, two...ten...hundreds...
"Could it be..."
Du Wei suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Could it be...a monitoring magic circle?!
In other words, it is something made by magic that is similar to...
Something like radar?!
At this time, Du Wei was truly shocked from the bottom of his heart!
Such a thing is obviously based on the magic power of a large number of magic crystals buried underground. The magic formation automatically operates and immediately uses magic to re-sense the entire surface of the earth and update it to the current appearance of the imperial capital. This is already magical enough.
. However, these magic arrays are so exquisite that not only the building terrain can be sensed, but... people can also be sensed!!
The densely packed light spots under your feet, one by one, represent the people on the ground now! Especially here, in the location of the palace, there seem to be a lot of moving light spots, as if you don’t know what is happening on the surface. Is there anything going on in the middle of the night?
Will a large number of Royal Guardsmen be mobilized?
Du Wei still doesn't know, because his sudden action triggered the ancient demon magic circle, activated the white tower built on the ground, and a strange light beam spectacle appeared, causing chaos in the imperial city. The Royal Forest Army
Mass mobilization.
After watching it for a while, Du Wei thought and guessed...
Well, that's it. This magic circle can't really sense everyone. After all, there are more than a million people in the imperial capital, and it's impossible for them all to be sensed on this huge map.
Although the number of those light spots is large and dense, at least there are not more than a million.
Judging from the distribution area, these light spots seem to be particularly numerous around the palace, the Temple of Light, the Magic Guild, and the city wall, as well as the garrison of the Royal Guards outside the city... these
In some places, the light spots are particularly obvious, but in other places, they are much less visible.
As for the neighborhoods where civilians live, there are few bright spots.
In other words, this magic circle seems to be sensitive to people with relatively strong power.
It can clearly sense magicians, warriors, and elite troops, but ignores civilians.
So……
"If this is a radar, then it is a military-specific radar in the true sense." Du Wei sighed in deep shock: "I can't believe that the demons ten thousand years ago have actually reached this level of advanced magic civilization.
What’s the point?! Today’s human beings are far behind!”
Du Wei immediately realized that this was a wonderful thing.
But...it seems like I can't take it with me.
Du Wei thought for a while and gave up the plan of taking this thing as his own. After all, it was a complete magic circle. Even if he was cruel enough to dig up the entire round platform... let's not talk about whether it would be lucky or not.
Even if it can be transported out, without the magic circle, this thing will be useless.
What a pity for a good thing.
His appetite was aroused, and he yearned even more for the transcendent and advanced magical civilization of the demons ten thousand years ago. He couldn't help but lie on the round platform and search everywhere, hoping to find more valuable things.
Finally, hard work pays off.
Du Wei almost ignored his appearance and crawled around on the round platform, knocking here and there, not even missing any stone slab. Only then did he finally reach the top edge, and after no doubt knocking on it, seemed to trigger
Some mechanism, a stone slab turned over. The color inside was actually golden!
Du Wei's heart moved, and he knew that he had found something new. He reached out and touched inside, and found a light purple crystal stone.
"Huh? Magic crystal? Magic gem?" Du Wei looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
It's just a magic gem. Since I got the Dragon God's collection, I can have as many of these things as I want. Although the piece in my hand looks very good, for Du Wei, it's also
It’s something that’s worth a lot of money.
He was a little disappointed, but then he thought, since this thing was placed down here by the demons so carefully, there must be something weird. Unfortunately, he has no magic now, so he can't see what the magic gem is used for, and Semel seems to
The magic power is also exhausted.
No matter, take it back first and then talk about it!
He estimated the time and decided to leave. When he left the central circular platform, he was still worried about how to break out of the magic cannon array. However, when he threw a few stone slabs, he found that those magic cannons seemed to have no effect.
reaction.
Huh? Could it be that the magic power is exhausted?
Of course Du Wei didn't know. He recited that spell unintentionally, which exhausted all the magic power. The magic cannon lost its magic power and is now temporarily unusable. It will take time until the magic circle starts to operate on its own.
It can only be restarted after the magic power has been restored.
Du Wei left this place quickly, returned all the way through the secret passage, and quickly returned to the previous exit.
When he opened the slate above his head and returned to the blue bedroom, the sky was still dark, but from a distance, looking out of the window, there seemed to be a lot of light coming from the center of the imperial city.
It seemed that in the middle of the night, there were many people holding torches, dimly lighting up the area.
On the bed, Lanlan was still lying there quietly, her eyes closed and sleeping, still covered with the blanket Du Wei had put on her.
Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He checked the room carefully and found that nothing was out of the ordinary. Then he smiled bitterly at the sleeping Lanlan and said, "Sorry, I disturbed you tonight."
He backed away from the window, jumped out as lightly as a civet cat, and closed the window silently with his backhand.
In the distance, in the middle of the palace, the sound of people could be heard faintly. When you came out of the room, you could still hear the shouts of many soldiers running back and forth and the sound of leather boots.
Du Wei felt even more uneasy. He spotted the flower bed in the distance and was about to rush over. But at this time, suddenly, he heard someone breathing in the darkness in the distance.
I heard a young voice, sighing with some helplessness. The figure was standing at the door of the yard. Looking through the night, it seemed to be the figure of a young man.
"Lanlan, Lanlan..." The man seemed a little anxious, but he still stood at the door of the yard and did not come in. He seemed to be stamping his feet on the spot. Then he mustered up the courage and said loudly: "Lanlan! I am interested in you.
Sincerely! Although you refuse to see me tonight, I will not give up! Well... something happened in the imperial city, I, I can't stay here for a long time! I'm going! Tomorrow night, after I finish my shift tomorrow night,
I will come here too! If you don’t see me for a day, I will come here every night! Unless you reject me personally, I will never give up!”
After a pause, probably seeing no response from inside, the man's voice was trembling with excitement, and he said loudly: "Lanlan! Everything I, Chip, said just now is sincere! Since the coup four years ago,
After the Royal Guards battle, you and other palace maids came to rescue the wounded soldiers. After I saw you that day, in the past few years, I will never forget your presence again! Okay! I'm going!"
After saying that, the young figure turned around and ran away quickly with the sound of hurried footsteps.
Du Wei sighed and looked back at the blue room behind him.
"Well, he is also an infatuated person." Du Wei smiled, quickly rushed to the flower garden, found the entrance and got in. He then covered the stone slab above and returned all the way.
He followed the underground water channel and sneaked all the way, and soon arrived outside the imperial city.
But at this time, while he was under the water, he heard groups of Imperial Guards running back and forth from time to time above, as if something had happened.
Du Wei frowned and could only lurk in the ditch for a while. Then he continued to swim outside. He swam quite far away from the imperial city, and then gradually there was no movement above.
Du Wei got out of the ditch and took advantage of the darkness to rush back to the Duke's Palace. On the way, he encountered many soldiers from the security station patrolling. Du Wei relied on his strong skills to escape them all. No one found him.
.
Finally returned home. Du Wei, who had been busy for most of the night, was really tired. His mental strength was not as good as before. Although he was not physically tired, he was gradually getting sleepy. It was difficult for him to go back to his room in the middle of the night for fear of waking him up.
The pair of sisters could only sleep haphazardly in the study.
As soon as I fell asleep, I had many strange dreams.
In the dream, it seems that I can't get rid of the crystal coffin...
It seems that in dreams, I always reach out to open the coffin involuntarily, and then look at the empty inside, and then vaguely hear a question full of resentment and faintness!
"Aragorn! Do you think this is the end?!"
"Aragorn! Do you think this is the end?!"
"Aragorn! Do you think this is the end?!"
"Aragorn! Do you think this is the end?!"
"Aragorn! Do you think..."
"Ah!" Du Wei exclaimed, waking up from his dream. He was still leaning on the chair in the study, looking outside, but the sky was already bright.
He touched his head, rubbed his eyes hard, sighed, and said to himself: "What the hell, why did I have such a dream? Even if the Messiah is resentful towards Aragorn, it has nothing to do with me.
Bar……"
Du Wei gave a bitter laugh, and then suddenly felt a depression in his heart. He couldn't help but let out a loud voice and shouted: "Please! I am me! He is him! We have nothing to do with each other anymore, okay!!"
After shouting a few words like this, I felt my heart relax a little.
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, and I heard my brother Gabri shouting anxiously outside: "Brother! Are you awake? God, how long are you going to sleep? I've been calling you all morning.
Time!!”
Du Wei's heart moved, he coughed, and said in as calm a voice as possible: "Well, come in."
The door was pushed open with a bang, and Gabri rushed in. As soon as he came in, he shouted loudly: "Brother! Such a big thing has happened, and you don't feel anything at all? Are you still sleeping so deeply?"
"Oh? What happened."
"The White Tower in the Royal Palace..."
Gabri looked excited and quickly recounted what happened last night. The more he spoke, the more Du Wei started muttering in his heart. Obviously, this matter had a lot to do with him... He couldn't help but look a little unnatural.
stand up.
Gabri didn't notice his brother's expression, and then he mentioned that the Royal Guards were being mobilized in large numbers, and the patrols on the streets of the imperial capital were also increased today. At this time, there was a cough from behind. He turned around, and saw Qiao Qiao standing behind him, with a look on his face.
Some are not pretty, but Vivian has a gentle smile on her face.
Gabri quickly smiled and said: "Ah! Good morning, sisters-in-law. Ah, no, good afternoon! Hahahaha, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
After saying that, the boy turned around and ran away. He seemed to be very afraid of Qiao Qiao, just because Qiao Qiao was very bored in the imperial capital and often found this boy to fight and ride horses. Although Gabri was good at martial arts, he did not have Qiao Qiao's strength after all.
He was often trained very badly.
After driving away Gabri, Vivian and Qiaoqiao walked into the study. Vivian still had a gentle smile on her face, but Qiaoqiao was already dissatisfied and shouted: "Hey Duwei! Where did you go last night?
!Don’t think I don’t know! Most of the things in the palace have something to do with you! Huh, damn it, you went out to do interesting things in the middle of the night! But you didn’t tell me!! The two of us were still covering for you at home.
! This kid Gabri has come to the door several times since last night. Since you are no longer here, we just have to lie to him and say that you are dealing with important things, practicing magic, and trying to heal hidden wounds. No one is allowed to disturb!
This is how you deceived your brother! You...how could you not tell such an interesting thing!"
Du Wei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he still hadn't covered up these two sisters, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face.
"You! You're still laughing!" Qiao Qiao said angrily: "I don't know how many people came to see you this morning! We blocked them all! You... you should tell me honestly as soon as possible, and you should also be grateful to us for covering you up.
!”
Vivian from behind finally said timidly: "Sister, you, don't blame him. He, he went out all night last night. He must have had a hard time."
Only then did Du Wei realize that a blanket had been placed on him at some point. It must have been when he fell asleep that his two lovely wives had already known about it and came to cover him.
"Don't look at me! I'm not that kind. Last night you came back sneakily. Instead of going back to your room, you went into the study. When I came to see you, you were already asleep! Humph, it was Vivian who stopped me.
I didn't kick you awake on the spot! Vivian also covered you with this blanket!" Qiao Qiao turned her head, looking unhappy.
Vivian came over, gently shook Du Wei's hand, smiled softly, and whispered: "How are you? Are you still tired? Are you tired? Last night, no, I didn't encounter anything.
It’s dangerous…”
"Huh!" Qiaoqiao suddenly got angry: "Vivian! You know how to obey him blindly! He...he...he is so annoying!"
After saying that, he ran over, pulled Vivian and strode out of the study.
Watching the sisters leave, Du Wei was still a little tender in his heart, but suddenly, he remembered his dream last night...
For no reason, I suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness in my heart...
So...so strange.
Where does this uneasy feeling come from?
Lolita? Messiah?
Um……
"Damn it, this test is so damn difficult." Two students walked out of the lecture hall with bitter expressions on their faces, and one of them snickered, "I'm afraid I'm going to get slapped by the dean again now."
"Not necessarily." A young officer next to him smiled and said, "The dean will go to the front line soon. Maybe he won't have time to hit us with military sticks."
"However, there are only ten places to go to the expedition with the dean this time. If you do too poorly in the exam and don't get the chance to go to the front line, that would be so embarrassing!" The officer who spoke before sighed, but suddenly looked at it.
ahead.
The two figures in front were standing under the tree and chatting in a low voice. One was Gabri, and the other was the leader of this group of students, Yalor.
"Oh, Gabri is lucky. He is the dean's younger brother. It is said that he will definitely be able to go to war this time. I really envy him for having such a good brother." The officer smiled bitterly: "If I had such a good brother, what would happen if I had such a good brother?"
So lucky."
"And Captain Yalor... Well, he fought in the northwest, and he performed well in the war with the northwest grassland people and the rebellion of the northwest army... Oh, do you know?" The officer lowered his voice.
The voice whispered mysteriously: "You have learned the example of the battle to defend Gilliat City... Captain Yalor personally led 300 cavalry to rescue the dean! They are old friends. This
When I go to the front line for the first time, Captain Alor will definitely get a spot... Sigh. I'm so envious."
"It's useless to be envious." The officer from before said sternly: "The captain's training performance is one of the best among us. The dean took him on the expedition, and it was not for personal gain. And Gabri, the last two simulated battles
, he defeated me to a pulp. He has strength, so we don’t need to be jealous."
At this time, Gabri and Yalor, who were talking under the tree in front, turned around and looked at the two people behind. Gabri smiled and said loudly: "What are you two guys talking about? You just took too many tests.
Damn, don’t you feel confident?”
The two officers hurriedly approached, but took a look at the sword on Gabri's waist. The sword was not the standard of the academy, but had the serial number pattern of the regular army. The two couldn't help but envy: "This sword is...
Let’s go north to prepare reinforcements, right?”
Gabri smiled: "I just got it yesterday. It feels good and I put it on."
"What a pity. We didn't do well in the exam this time, so I'm afraid the quota for going north will be lost." The slightly taller young officer on the left smiled bitterly. He had brown-black hair and was thin.
"Oh? Did you do not do well in the exam?" Yaluoer frowned. He has been the captain of this group of students for nearly a year, and his prestige has been established. When he asked, the two people immediately stood up, the one on the right
The officer's face was very delicate, and he nodded. His expression was calm: "It's not too bad, but there is just one question. I feel very strange... Well, he actually asked us about the first person to fly to the sky by airship in the history of airships of our Air Force.
Who are the non-military personnel? I think it is naturally our dean. The airship was invented by the dean in Luolin Plain, and he himself was of course the first person to test it. But this guy..." He pointed to the person next to him.
The companion sighed: "This guy happens to be someone else. But it's never written in the book."
"Idiot, the dean is an imperial general, how can he be considered a 'non-military personnel'? Are you even thinking about the questions?" The thin young officer with black hair lightly punched his companion, and then looked at
Gabri: "Gabri, tell me, is the answer the dean himself?"
Gabri smiled: "On paper, it's true. My brother was not in the military at that time, so it's true that he was the first non-military personnel to test flight... But, in fact, in private, this
The answer is not accurate. Because only people within our family know that there was indeed a real 'non-military personnel' who made the first test flight with my brother."
"Who?" the two of them couldn't help asking together.
"Okay." Yaluoer frowned: "How are you laughing and joking!"
After a pause, his expression softened a little. He glanced at the two guys and said warmly: "You two, hurry back and prepare. Well... although the official order has not been issued yet, I was in the hospital before.
I undoubtedly saw the list in the chief room, and it seems that there are two of your names on it."
This last sentence immediately made the two of them look excited and happy: "Really? What list? Is it the quota for the front line? Captain, you can't lie to us!"
"Be more serious!" Yaluoer's face darkened: "You are making such a fuss, do you still look like soldiers? If you go to the front line like this, don't lose the face of our college! Don't lose the dean's reputation.
Face!"
The two young officers looked at each other, suppressed their smiles at the same time, stood up straight, beat their chests with their left hands, and shouted in response: "Yes!"
"Okay, go back and pack your things." Yaluoer finally showed a smile: "By the way, your military ranks, if I read it correctly, have been fixed."
After a pause, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Aslansala!"
"Yes!" The thin, black-haired young officer responded immediately.
"Okay, you will be the cavalry commander in the cavalry regiment directly under the dean."
"Oh? The cavalry regiment directly under the dean's command?" The young officer named Aslansala immediately beamed with joy.
"And you." Yalor turned to look at the other one: "Kira!"
The young officer who was slightly silent, had a calm face, and nodded: "Yes."
"I will be appointed as the commander of a cavalry battalion, and you will come over to temporarily serve as my deputy and herald."
The handsome young man named Kira was not too excited. He just nodded vigorously and hid his joy in his heart.
That Aslansala seemed to be more emotional: "Captain, when do we set off?"
"This..." Yalor glanced at Gabri next to him: "Wait for the dean's order."
The two of them quickly saluted. Just as they were about to leave, Aslan was dragged away by Kira, and he did not forget to turn around and ask from a distance: "Hey, Gabri, who is the first non-military person to fly into the world in an airship?"
who is it?"
In the northwest, the capital of Desa Province, Loulan City, and the Tulip Duke's Palace.
"Hurry up, hurry up. Don't wait too long." Old Marder yawned, but he was dressed as if he was going on a long trip, and even had thick leggings on his legs: "The carriage behind, move the things quickly.
OK! We’re leaving in the morning!”
There was a busy scene in the yard outside the Duke's Palace. Groups of Tulip family cavalry were ready to go, and more than a dozen carriages were transporting some strange boxes.
At this time, several people slowly walked over. The leader was none other than the young northwest political administrator, Mr. Philip.
"Manager Mader." Philip came over and smiled politely.
Everyone knows that although Manager Mader is the personal servant of Du Wei's family, he is the first person to follow Du Wei. He has held Du Wei since he was a child and his relationship with Du Wei is as deep as that of father and son.
generally.
Especially after the death of Count Raymond, Duwei treated Mader with more preferential treatment and respect, as if he had transferred his nostalgia for his father to the old housekeeper who had raised him since childhood.
Therefore, in the northwest, everyone was extremely polite and respectful to Mader, whether he was a general in command or a political administrator like Philip.
"Do you have to go in person?" Philip sighed: "The Duke is going north to the front line this time. You are already so old..."
"Mr. Philip, I'm not old yet. I'll just turn fifty in August." Mader tried to straighten her back: "Besides, I've been taking care of the young master since he was a child. This time he goes to the front line.
, I don’t trust others following him, I have to personally take care of his daily life.”
"But... in terms of danger... please forgive me, you are just an ordinary person after all. The front line..."
"It's precisely because of the danger." Mud suddenly smiled, with a trace of unusual calmness on his wrinkled face: "Mr. Philip, I have lived a long time. The young master has treated me so well."
Very good, I know it in my heart. I, Mad, have no other wishes in my life. I just hope that this family can develop peacefully. You see, I am already old anyway, and I have not enjoyed the blessings I deserve in the past few years.
Even though I am a master servant, everyone here treats me with the same respect as a master. When people live like this, they don’t expect too much."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said softly: "Fighting on the front line is dangerous, I understand. But it is precisely because of this that I have to go! That little guy Sandy is the successor I have worked hard to train for several years, and I still
I hope that after I die in the future, he can assume the responsibility of the general manager and help the young master take on the internal affairs of this big family! At this time, such a dangerous thing as going to the front line, let me, a useless old guy,
Go ahead. If..."
Having said this, he shook his head, but his eyes were full of sincerity: "If we let that little guy Sandy go to the front line, if something happens to him, the successor to the housekeeping general that I have painstakingly trained for the young master will be gone. From now on.
If I die, who will be responsible for helping the young master with the housework? At my age, one year will be lost anyway. So, this time I let Sandy stay in the imperial capital, and I will personally take people to the north to meet the young master.
.”
Philip sighed, with some sincere respect on his face.
This old butler, who seems a bit vulgar on weekdays, is a... good person.
"You don't have to worry about me anymore." Mu De suddenly laughed and puffed up his chest: "Don't underestimate me Mu De, I am not a waste. You know, when the young master invented the airship, except for
Not counting the inventor, Master, I, Mad, am the first person in the world to fly into the sky in an airship! The first person in the entire continent! Hahahahahaha..."
