"Yes, I have seen you and Xiaohai grow up together. You are both fools. However, Xiaohai still has a quarter of the blood of the star spirit world in his body. There are still risks in inheriting the secret crystal. And Xiaoxue, you are pure The Fool’s bloodline.” The old man looked at Lin Xue and said lovingly.
No wonder Lin Hai can avoid being chased in the game!
After hearing this, Mu You understood. It turned out that Lin Hai still had part of the star spirit bloodline in him, and the pursuers might have regarded him as a native.
The old man looked at Canary again and said: "Teacher Vivian, Xiaoxue is my most beloved granddaughter. I plan to hand over the Pisces inheritance to her. After I leave, she will ask you to help take care of her." ”
"grandmother……"
Lin Xue's eyes turned red again. Even after Mu You's persuasion just now, she was relieved a lot about this matter. At this moment, when she suddenly heard the old man's solitary words, tears still burst out uncontrollably.
"Haha, Xiaoxue, don't be sad. Grandma has lived long enough. Today, grandma handed over the inheritance and met with Teacher Vivian. All worries have been settled, and now there are no regrets at all. It is no exaggeration to say that "Today is the happiest day in my life, and there is nothing to be sad about." The old man looked at the choked Lin Xue with a smile, his eyes filled with relief and relief.
"Don't worry, I will treat your heir as my own." Vivian glanced at Lin Xue and nodded.
"That's good..." The old man smiled and took a long breath, then looked at Mu You again.
"In addition, young man, I also have something to ask you."
"Oh, tell me." Mu You said hurriedly.
"There is something very important that I need to entrust to you before I leave. Originally, I was worried about Xiaoxue being alone. But now that you are here and Teacher Vivian is here to guide you, I can finally entrust it to you with confidence. for you."
"What is it?" Mu You was a little curious, what could it be that the old man said so solemnly.
"A door."
"Door?"
"Yes, a door that opens in the wall." The old man added.
"You mean... that 'wall'?" Mu You was surprised. The wall that the old man specifically mentioned here could obviously only be the invisible but pervasive 'high wall' that isolates the stars. The wall between the world and the earth.
And the door opened on the wall... doesn't it mean that this is an entrance that can enter and exit the two worlds at any time?
"That's right."
The old man smiled and said, "Aren't you curious about how I came to this world?"
Of course Mu You was curious, but he was just shocked by the curse of black magic and didn't have time to ask.
"This is known as a forgotten place that is completely isolated from magic power, but even a long time ago, before the wall was loose, there was still a thin magic power here. This is because there is no absolutely airtight wall in the world. If there is a wall, there will be Doors, this is also one of the rules of nature. Even the wall between two realms is no exception. In order to maintain long-term stability for such a large wall, there must always be some venting points, and these venting points will appear in the form of 'doors'. "
"Wait a minute, so... there are many 'doors'?" Mu You was surprised. Hearing what the old man meant, the door was not unique, but there were many such 'venting points' in various places along the wall.
"Yes, but the 'Gate' is not that easy to find, and there are many restrictions on using the 'Gate'."
The old man shook his head: "Come with me and have a look."
Then, with the help of Mu You and Lin Xue, the old man was put into a wheelchair. Lin Xue pushed the wheelchair. The four of them left the house and followed the elevator of the villa down to the warehouse on the second underground floor.
Later, under the guidance of the old man, he discovered an extremely secret dark passage in the underground warehouse, which was sealed by a magic lock and could not be seen by ordinary people. It took Mu You several times to unlock the lock.
Even Lin Xue, who grew up here with her grandmother, didn't know about this place. It obviously existed before the manor was established.
Several people followed the old man's guidance and went down the dusty passage until they arrived at a secret room more than twenty meters deep.
The secret room was filled with a damp and rotten smell due to being closed for a long time.
However, few people paid attention to this at this time. After entering, they immediately saw the 'door' located in the center of the secret room.
"Is this...'the door'?"
Lin Xue pushed up her glasses curiously.
What appeared in front of them was an old-fashioned red swing door. The style looked similar to an ordinary security door. The material looked a bit like red nanmu and a bit like painted metal.
It looks like a door that was violently removed from a certain wall. There is a ring of uneven wall tiles around the door. There is also a layer of cement-like substance stuck to the ground, allowing the door to stand firmly on the ground. In situ.
Mu You noticed, however, that the door was actually covered with invisible Star Spirit runes, like seals, setting up numerous restrictions. Until these restrictions are unlocked, this is a sealed door.
"Yes, the door cannot be stored in any space equipment. After I came to the Forgotten Land, I had to use the remaining magic power to seal it as much as possible, and then buried it deep underground here."
In the wheelchair, the old man sighed and looked at the canary on Mu You's shoulder: "Teacher Vivian, I am not good at learning the sealing technique. Please seal it up first. It is dangerous if this thing is exposed. "
Canary nodded and looked at Mu You: "Make a blank secret card and put it under the door."
"good."
Mu You didn't know what Vivian was going to do, so he immediately condensed a secret card in his hands, followed Vivian's instructions, walked over and placed it on the ground in front of the door.
As he approached the door, he suddenly felt a cold and biting breath coming towards his face. This feeling was a bit familiar. Mu You quickly recalled that when he rescued the child protected by the Blood Emperor in the early morning, he felt it from the other person. It was an aura that was very similar to the one in front of me.
Mu You immediately guessed that that child probably also had a 'door'.
In addition, at this time, there seemed to be hallucinatory whispers coming from inside the door, constantly attracting Mu You to open the door and walk in.
Mu You shook his head and quickly calmed down, and those whispers disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Back at the back, Grandma Lin Xue looked at him and smiled and said, "The door has some deceptive properties, just be careful not to be affected by it."
"Okay." Mu You nodded.
At this time, Vivian had already flown to the door, waving her wings and releasing some kind of spell.
Mu You only felt that a lot of the magic power in his body was drained out of his body. Immediately, the door flowed on the ground like a soft painting, and finally poured into the card.
When Mu You picked up the card again, he found that there was an image of a door in the card, which was lifelike, like a photo, and the door was directly reflected in the card.
"This door was discovered by Teacher Vivian. At that time, the Wizards Association launched a crusade against the twelve of us. We finally won that battle, but it was a tragic victory. All twelve of us were seriously injured, and the black magic Excessive use caused the curse to be seriously deepened, and it had to be scattered to various places to find places to entrust it for inheritance."
"Teacher Vivian had a chance to survive, but she gave me the opportunity to enter and attracted the pursuers..."
The old man recalled with emotion: "Moreover, there are restrictions on passing through the door. The door can only be opened every ten days for twenty-four hours. During this period, creatures from both worlds can pass through the door and move freely to the other side. , but you must come back within twenty-four hours, otherwise you will be trapped in another world and restricted by the wall. You will lose your life every day after passing through the door. You will lose one year on the first day and two on the second day. Years... By analogy, the longer you stay in another world, the more life you will lose."
"This loss will not stop until all the lifespan that does not belong to you, that is, the lifespan robbed from other living beings, is taken away."
"I see."
Only then did Mu You realize that there was a distinction between 'own' and 'robbed' life spans.
After passing through the door, your lifespan will be continuously deprived, but only the part of your lifespan that does not belong to you will be deprived.
The old man has stayed on the earth for nearly a hundred years. Even if she originally had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, she had already been wiped clean by the rules of the wall. Only her own lifespan of several decades was left. She has lived until now and finally reached the end of the world. The end.
No wonder Vivian didn't mention refining a life-extending potion for the old man from the beginning. This kind of extra life span supplemented by potions also does not belong to her, and will be directly sucked away if she replenishes it.
The old man didn't seem to care about this at all. After saying this with a smile, he looked at Mu You: "Young man, this door will be handed over to you from now on. You have to remember that as long as you don't open it , this door is safe.”
"But if you want to use it and unlock the seal above, you will become the 'opener' of this door. Unless you keep not touching this door for more than a year, the identity of the opener will be cancelled. , become an ownerless door again, otherwise, only you, the door opener, can open and close this door in the future."
"At that time, you will have to take on the responsibility of guarding this door. Don't let creatures from the Star Spirit Realm break into your world through the door. It will be a disaster."
