After Malinovras's face recovered slightly, Luo Binhan finally gave up the illusion of luck and was sure that Ya Laili couldn't come up with a magic weapon from the sky. During this period, he walked around the entire stone corridor and quickly figured out the structure of the entire space.
One end of the corridor leads to a small room. There is only an oil lamp, a crudely carved stone lotus flower, and a tattered reed mat in the room. An ordinary stone door opened in the corner near the oil lamp.
Luo Binhan passed through the door and explored a few meters into the darkness. His hands touched the surrounding soil and breathed in the hot air, and he quickly understood that this was within the structure of a maze at the heart of the mountain.
He was not happy to be a missing person in this vast universe, so he immediately retreated into the small room. The house was too small, the furnishings were clearly visible, and there was no food or water.
So he went to the other side of the corridor. There is a stone wall at the end, but the door frame is painted with charcoal-like traces. Luo Binhan had seen a lot of strange things at this time, and he naturally deduced that this was a magic door that required a password or props to open - it must be the door leading to the exchange.
He ran to Marin to confirm, and the answer was indeed the same. When he asked about water and food, Malinovras shook his head helplessly.
"I don't have money to buy it." He said ruefully. "The earth-eater who lived here in the past just went to the temple to eat earth, sometimes prayed for people in exchange for some food, and then went to drink the dew from the mountains every morning... He was a religious man. This is enough for a man to eat and drink! But he also needs engraving tools and books, so he bought this door leading to the market, which can be used five or six times. Now he leaves this place to But I didn’t leave any belongings, so I couldn’t go to the market to buy things, so I could only stay in the side hall of the temple. That couldn’t last long – I’m not an ascetic monk, I had to eat dishes that were cooked just right , drink good fermented wine. But where did the money come from? I thought about selling the gold watch, but it’s a pity that my name is still engraved on it. If I hang up such a large piece with a stone, the watch will be useless. It’s greatly devalued.”
Luo Binhan was too lazy to pay attention to him. There are many young people in the Luo family who are dissolute, so Luo Binhan is also experienced in communication and knows that the other party will never feel sorry for anyone other than himself. Since empathy wouldn't help, he had to speak with a gun.
He asked, "What's it like inside the exchange? What dangers are there?"
As a result, Marin couldn't say much. In the past, he only went there to inquire about some information and buy some special perfume or paper and ink, but he knew very little about the real "illegal" part.
"We have to stay away from lizards." He hugged his knees and said, "Lizards, four-legged snakes, squamates... Soma Shasthiya raised a large number of them, and his lackeys often bought and sold these things. "
Luo Binhan felt quite strange when he heard this: "But isn't he a lizard demon? And he sells lizards?"
"How the hell do I know? I'm not an expert on lizard demons. Maybe in their eyes, this is the same as raising monkeys."
Luo Binhan didn't want to go into details. He continued to ask: "What abilities does the lizard demon have?"
Marin rolled his eyes: "The body fluids in their bodies are highly poisonous, and their scales are as sharp as knives. They can jump up to the third-floor window, then touch your bedside and cut you into pieces. Some lizard demons can also use magic. ...It is said that this is because they are wild hybrids of Yalongs, but who can tell clearly?"
Luo Binhan felt a little troubled. He knew very well that the situations that high-energy ray guns could solve were quite limited. Marin was lucky to be one of them, but what about the lizard demon?
He began to worry, but at the same time he did not ignore another issue - magic. Malinovras had been using this word from the moment they met.
"What the hell are you?" he couldn't help but ask.
This imprecise question made Marin confused: "Me? What else can I be? I'm a singer!"
"Don't you have a classification? Reasons? Laws?"
Marin began to shake his head, his face showing disapproval.
"No, no, no, what are you thinking about?" he said, "reasons and laws, those are things that big people worry about, what does it have to do with me? Does a monkey still have to think about his own country's borders? I don't know how. I can conjure up a fireball at will, but I don’t mind spending money to buy a temporary door. I don’t know any theorems, rules, etc., which doesn’t prevent me from flying in an aircraft. Only big shots like to classify people, because that It’s good for them, they have more power and status in that narrative, you know? But what good does it do to me to take sides? It will only make me die faster!”
Luo Binhan was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to refute Marin's words, so he had to ask: "Can't you make your enemies forget your appearance?"
"Oh, you mean that rumor? That's totally malicious slander!"
Marin said angrily: "They are jealous of my talent and beauty, so they make up such bad words to slander me! If I really did that, how could I be in the predicament I am in today!"
"So it's a lie if a woman can't remember your appearance?"
"That's not the case." Marin said, "You are referring to Siya. She is a fantasy girl who treats me as some kind of alien prince. I doubt she has ever really loved me. She just borrowed it from me. Face fantasy! All day long, I showed off to outsiders the poem I wrote to her, saying that a prince was passionately pursuing her. But what if I occasionally forget to shave, or have some acne on my face? She would immediately avert her eyes. Look, it’s like I’ve turned into a toad. She doesn’t ask to marry me, but she doesn’t respect me at all. She just wants a husband who can give her more glory and wealth! In this case, of course she won’t remember who I really am. My face! Later, her father found out that I slept with his daughter and insisted on begging for money from me, so I just put on makeup and blended in. Anyway, the old man only knew that I was an extremely beautiful man... Just two little things like that, What happened in the end by those mean-spirited and mean-spirited people! It’s really outrageous!”
This outrageous story made Luo Binhan feel much more comfortable. At the same time, he also made up his mind - he must find a way out and never die with such a person.
He touched the handle of the gun, praying in his heart that it could solve whatever he was about to face. He still remembered why he learned to shoot in the first place, and it was also related to his wonderful sister: she had her first boyfriend in elementary school, who was a psychopathic male teacher in the school. Fortunately, he was reported soon. ; When she was in junior high school, she had her second and third relationships, and they were eventually found to have schizophrenia and schizophrenia respectively, both of which had serious hidden violent tendencies; when she just started in high school, she had her fourth relationship, who was a A drug addict, he was also suspected of being involved in trafficking and was involved in a gang conflict. If she were on the Lotus Tree Star today, Luo Binhan had no doubt that she would also fall in love with Malinoflas.
Luo Binhan saw through this increasingly dangerous trend early on, and knew that sooner or later he would need a gun. The only thing he didn't expect was to use it in this situation.
"Let's go, handsome man," he said to Marin. "There's no point in staying here any longer. Let's go to the exchange as soon as possible."
He didn't ask about the murder of the dwarf businessman. On the one hand, he didn't want to arouse Marin's alert. On the other hand, his intuition warned him not to go too deep. Now is not the time to avenge someone else's grievances.
Malinophorus was escorted to the door by him, and he recited a few incantations of unknown meaning, and the painted door began to have a three-dimensional effect.
They pushed open the door and faced a land of steel. When Luo Binhan raised his head, he saw seven huge metal rings hanging in the sky.
