Chapter 128: The Magical Legend of Journey to Another World (Seventeen
"Jin, girl Lulu, why did you say that just now?" Will asked in confusion as soon as he entered the room.
"Don't you find it strange what they said before? And you also saw what happened in the lobby just now. It's very abnormal. I suspect that Matthew and the others were tampered with."
Jin walked to his bed, opened the luggage he had left here, and quickly checked to see if there was anything missing.
Cellululu nodded: "I didn't dare to guess casually just now, but Avya is really a bit strange. I think it was Avya who held my feet before."
"What? No way, but???, are they being controlled by someone?"
Will was taken aback. Although his reaction was a little slow and his observation was not careful enough, after listening to what these two people said, he felt that Matthew's previous behavior seemed a little strange. He looked at Jin without any idea and asked.
"Then what should we do?"
"The food is missing." Jin didn't answer, just frowned and said suddenly.
"What?" Will didn't catch up yet.
"Gone?" Cellululu had a bad feeling.
"Well, the drinking water and dry food in my luggage are gone. Lulu, Will, where are you?" Jin asked.
"Ah, oh, let me take a look, hey, mine is gone too, what happened?" Wilmu rummaged through his luggage in a daze, and then he also shouted.
"I still have mine, probably no one has a chance to take it away." Cellululu checked nervously, then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"It seems that someone doesn't want us to eat their own food. Why? Starve us to death? Or do they want to force us to eat the food here? Matthew and the others also didn't feel right after dinner."
Jin touched his chin, analyzing, and then his eyes narrowed.
"We can't delay any longer. Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion now to find out what's going on. If Matthew and the others are fine, that's fine. If there is really any problem, I think we should be able to see them soon."
As an enemy!
Celluloid and Will nodded heavily, and the three of them waited for another ten minutes. When there was no movement outside, Jin opened the door and looked out the corridor. When he saw no one, he waved for them to follow.
They left the hotel smoothly and no one stopped them. For some reason, Cellululu just assumed that the others were either fast asleep or not there, but secretly hoped it was the former. Will held his breath and listened attentively. Yes, but his face gradually became depressed. Except for the three of them, there was no sound of breathing in the whole hotel. He looked at Jin and saw that he seemed to have discovered it too, and became more and more depressed. The three of them had heavy thoughts, Going straight to the city lord's palace, Will was able to confirm that there was really no one in this city. Although the moon was in the sky and the surrounding buildings were very new, the popularity could not be faked.
The three of them held turpentine torches and stood on the high platform in the west of the city. They looked forward. Under the night, the woods around the castle were pale and white reflected by the moonlight. The wind was whining, and the trees were rustling and shaking. The silhouette on the ground keeps twisting, like some unknown monster, struggling to get out. At the end, a huge castle stands silently, dark and gloomy. Only when the wind blows, the doors and windows above the castle make an amazing sound. The sound of the creaking teeth is monotonous and boring, but for no reason it makes people feel eerie.
Looking at each other, Jin stretched out a hand, and with a creak, the door was opened a crack. A cold wind passed by in an instant. After a pause, he pushed the door open without hesitation. After opening it, the three of them walked in and looked at the city lord's mansion with the torches in their hands.
Different from the gloomy and depressing appearance from the outside, the layout inside is grand and majestic yet gentle. The high dome and the surrounding huge polygonal columns are carved with elegant and simple patterns. There is a slit near the domes on both sides. The large stained glass windows with barrel arches are in simple colors of yellow and green, but the patterns are bright. Under the projection of the moonlight, they exude a faint halo. The surrounding furniture is also classical and pays more attention to materials rather than decoration. A beautifully handmade jacquard carpet is spread all the way up the stairs and extends in all directions.
"Huh?"
Cellululu was still admiring the interior decoration, but she heard Will's exclamation of surprise. She turned her head and saw him looking around, as if he didn't quite understand.
"What happened? Will? What did you find?" Kim asked.
"Ah, no, I just wonder why this place is so old." Will scratched his head.
"Ancient? Doesn't this place look new?" Cellululu blinked and looked around uncertainly.
"No, I'm not talking about things being new or old, I'm talking about this???" Will paused for a moment, as if trying to find words to describe: "Well, by the way, this style is very old, like the kind of building from long ago. .”
"A long time ago?" Jin was a little confused.
"Yeah, it's like a house from ancient times. The noble castles now are so gorgeously decorated. I've had the opportunity to visit the castles of nobles and lords several times before. It's simply dazzling. Everything is glittering and beautiful. It’s all comparable to the craftsmanship of the fairies.”
Will seemed to be remembering there with some envy, and then he gestured and continued:
"This place looks like the glory days of the gods mentioned in our orc classics."
"Is it the style of the ancient times?" Jin pondered for a while before asking: "Could it be that the castle is not a castle where humans live, but a castle from other races, so it retains the ancient heritage."
Will shook his head vigorously: "No, the human race, demi-god race, and sub-demon race have always lived in similar places. The elves do not live in castles, orcs like to live in caves, and other races do not live like this."
Jin nodded and glanced around again, but knowing this would not be of much help to the current situation, so he did not dwell on the issue more, he said.
"Forget it, there's nothing interesting to see in the underground city. Let's find a way down."
Celluloid and Will were about to nod in agreement when suddenly, there was a ding~choking sound, and a crisp sound suddenly came from the silent room.
Jin raised his head quickly. The sound came from upstairs. "Let's go up and have a look."
He took the lead and ran towards the stairs, Cellululu following closely behind.
"It seems to be on the top floor of the tower." Will provided a more precise location.
Running up one floor after another, they reached the third floor. After passing a corner, with the faint moonlight coming in from the window, the three of them saw a blurry black figure with its back to them at the end of the long corridor. , stood at the door of the tower.
"Lulu, follow me, be careful." Jin lowered his voice and blocked Cellululu behind him. Then, he quietly pressed the hilt of the sword behind him, step by step, cautiously, Slowly lean in.
Cellululu nodded, held her breath, carefully pressed close to Jin, and slowly leaned over. Will also took out his axe, clasping his hands, staring ahead warily, not forgetting the rear.
One step, two steps, three steps.
叽婽——一
Suddenly, a long, piercing scream broke the silence, and there was a sudden commotion in front of him. Jin pulled out the sword behind him and ran over quickly.
A bright white light lit up in front of my eyes, like mercury pouring down the ground, overflowing with brilliance, like a warm and warm spring day, but also like the scorching summer sun, fierce and scorching. There was something in this burst of white light, flying rapidly. Dissolve.
Less than ten steps away, Jin felt that the burst of white light came from a knight's sword, which was being held by a tall man wearing black knight armor. As for what he was killing, Jin didn't see clearly.
As if he noticed the movement behind him, the man turned his head. Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and half was exposed in the sword light. His flamboyant red hair looked as brilliant and bright as sunset in the light, but in the dark, it looked like blood. Rich black hair, evil facial features, slender phoenix eyes, and thin lips that signify ruthlessness and unrighteousness under the straight bridge of the nose. The corners of the mouth have a very shallow arc, as if they are mocking something, and there is a hint of frivolity, but the silver The gray pupils were indifferent and cold.
He looked very familiar, as if he had seen him before somewhere. Jin's footsteps paused slightly, and he did not ignore the unusual sense of familiarity that instantly arose.
"you???"
"Uncle, eh? What is it????, is it???"
Cellululu also caught up, and when she saw the man, she was also surprised for a moment, and blurted out, but her blank memory immediately made her unable to say anything and could only stare at him blankly.
"Do you know him?" Seeing the familiar expressions of the two people, Will asked frankly.
There seemed to be a trace of surprise in the man's eyes, but then it turned into the same confusion as theirs. His slender pupils narrowed slightly. He glanced at them up and down, and his lips were slightly opened, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't. No sound was heard.
"What do you want to say?" Jin asked quickly.
After the words fell, a vision suddenly appeared. Without any warning, the man's figure suddenly blurred and melted into the darkness inch by inch. Jin immediately reached out to grab it, but the speed of the dissolution seemed clear and slow, but it was incredibly fast. In the end, Jin only caught a ball of air, but Jin still noticed it. Before disappearing, he turned back and kept his eyes fixed on the locked tower.
"Who was that person just now? The armor he saw through doesn't seem to belong to Plantagenet, but he looks very familiar. Have I seen this person before?" Jin put down his hand and muttered to himself.
Cellululu said in surprise: "Uncle also thinks he has seen him? Me too."
"Lulu too? Collective delusion?" Jin guessed.
But Will immediately denied it. "No, I feel like I've never seen him before, but he and that woman look like they both appear in the white light and then disappear suddenly."
"Will doesn't feel it? Well, it's really strange." Jin couldn't understand, "But seeing that he was killing those monsters just now, he should be with that woman. It would be great if we could find them both. , they should know something."
Touching his chin, Jin brought his attention back again.
"Before the man disappeared just now, he was looking at the tower. Is there any mystery inside?"
"Let's go in and take a look." Will said, already walking up and twisting the big brass lock on the door.
"Wait a minute, Will, be careful there is a trap inside." Jin quickly reminded Will when he saw Will's careless look. He also stood by the door, holding the heavy sword in his hand tightly, ready to attack at any time.
Under Will's brute force, the copper lock let out a fragile groan, and then fell down. Will pushed the door open with a bang, and then ducked to the side. After a while, he saw that there was no movement inside, and the three of them Only then did the individual walk in vigilantly.
The inside of the tower is empty. The only thing worth noting is that in the middle, there is a standing bracket, which holds a dim red magic crystal. With this magic crystal as the center, from the wall, the floor to the ceiling, the entire tower is empty. The rooms are covered with strange lines and patterns. I don’t know what materials these lines are drawn with, and a few places are still shining with a faint blue.
"What is this? It looks like a magic circle." Jin glanced around, observed for a moment, and said in wonder.
"Yeah, I also think it looks like a magic circle drawn by a magician, but I don't know what it is used for." Will also agreed.
"It's not like a magic circle." Cellululu stared at those lines for a long time, but suddenly said something, as if she felt that she was too arbitrary, and added hesitantly.
"At least it's not a small magic array. No matter how it changes, the basic structure of the magic array is circular, and the patterns here are messy and cannot form a circle. In addition, the red magic crystal is obviously the source of magic supply for this array segment. It's just that the light of this magic crystal is so dim. It should have been supported for a long time. Once the energy is consumed, this part of the formation will be useless. I just don't know what the entire formation looks like? However, if no one controls it, , then this is not considered a magic array, but should be an engraving array."
"Imprinting array? I think I've heard of it." Jin was still thinking. Will had already told the answer with a look of surprise on his face.
"Is it the engraving array drawn by the inscription master?"
After a pause, he showed an embarrassed smile and said: "Actually, I have never understood the difference between the magic array and the engraving array."
Cellululu said without hesitation:
"Of course there is a difference. It's just like a magician can be a carving and inscription master, but a carving and inscription master may not be a magician. Because the magic circle relies on human magic power as the main support point, the magic circle is usually very small, because The larger the magic array, the greater the demand for personal magic control precision and magic power. Of course, it requires a lot of mental power. But the engraving and inscription master is different. As long as the mental power is strong enough, the magic power to maintain the operation of the array, He can use magical materials to draw graphics, and then add a magic source as the array eye. Just like the red magic crystal, it can support an imprinting array. As long as it is arranged well, the imprinting array can last for a long time, but Magic arrays are not good. Once there are fewer people, the magic array will be ineffective. Besides, magic arrays are usually auxiliary means used by magicians to attack, but the types and uses of imprinting arrays are much wider."
"Furthermore, magic circles usually don't pay much attention to the drawing materials. Ordinary ink will suffice, because the key lies in the magician's own magic control. But aren't some parts of these graphics shining with a blue luster? If you read it correctly. , this should be drawn with ink made of Youlanchen Xingsha, with extremely strong magic immunity. This is an excellent drawing material in the world of carving inscriptions. However, the formation section here is considered invalid. The power of Youlanchen Xingsha has almost been exhausted."
After finishing speaking without stopping, Cellulu was stunned for a moment, and then frowned in confusion. Jin and Will were also stunned for a while, and Will praised frankly with a look of admiration.
"Girl Lulu, you are amazing, you know these things so well."
Jin looked at Cellululu's expression and knew that she was obviously worried about why he knew it. He quickly asked:
"Lulu, can you tell what this array is used for?"
As soon as Jin's question came out, it also interrupted Cellululu's painful inquiry, but she couldn't answer this question. Cellululu shook her head.
"No, just looking at this, you can't tell what the array does. These lines are just the lowest level of magic amplification device.
The three of them studied for a while, but couldn't find any clues. They had to leave the tower and searched for a while on the first floor. They found a staircase going down. Looking at the spiraling passage extending underground, Jin held a torch and walked on At the front, Celluloid is in the middle, Will is behind, and the three of them cautiously look down.
130. Chapter 128: The Magical Legend of Journey to Another World (Seventeen
He walked and circled all the way down. When the last step disappeared and he turned a corner, an empty corridor appeared in front of him. On both sides were warehouses separated by doors. Further away, there were several forked roads. , twists and turns, covering the entire space like a spider web.
"This is the cellar of the City Lord's Mansion. There are three intersections in front, and two more turns to the left. This is the place where we woke up before. There are only those places on this floor that are suspicious. The rest are either empty rooms or empty rooms. Some of them have become moldy and spoiled, and you can no longer see what they were originally.”
Jin said, and took the torch to shine on the rooms on both sides. Through some ajar doors, he could see that they were all empty.
"Yes, I smashed several doors, and I don't know how long they have been locked. When I opened the door, there was that dust and that choking smell~" Will's fur face wrinkled up, and his mouth seemed to He also sighed a few times as if remembering.
"Haha, Will, thank you for your hard work. It must be very uncomfortable."
Celluloid chuckled, gave Will a look of deep sympathy, and then suggested:
"Then let's go to the place where you came out before. Maybe we can find some clues about the woman you mentioned and the man who just disappeared."
"Well, you can just stay in the corridor until then." Jin hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement and just added.
The cellar of the city lord's palace is gloomy and vast, with only the torch in his hand jumping and flashing. The dim light divides the passage into sections of mottled black and white light and shadow space. The repetitive and cramped scenes make people feel depressed, and there is only dullness in their ears. The sound of footsteps sounded, floating everywhere, causing a faint echo.
Cellululu was a little lost in such an environment, when Jin Ye's voice sounded, breaking the almost solid air.
"It's around here, where the woman appeared. We were left there before."
Jin first gestured around the corridor, then pointed to an open warehouse on his right, and said:
"However, we have looked at several rooms around here and found nothing noteworthy."
Cellululu took advantage of the situation and looked over. Because of the dim light, she didn't look carefully inside, but there seemed to be some white and red bits and pieces on the ground. Thinking of what Jin had said before, Cellululu's face turned slightly pale, and she quickly put her head down. In his imagination, he looked away, and after a while, he said.
"Uncle, have you seen the corridor, the floor and the walls of the room? Since there was an engraved array where the man appeared just now, maybe there is one here too."
Jin then remembered this possibility, but he really didn't pay attention just now, so he had to search carefully again. At this time, things that he had originally ignored also appeared. The walls of the rooms and corridors here are actually covered with messy lines. It's just that because they are so widely distributed and over time, those lines are either worn, covered with moss, or damaged, and are not connected together. Therefore, unintentional people can only mistake these as damage and traces left by long-term disrepair.
Now that they had found the right place, and based on Cellululu's rough judgment, Will and Jin found the next source of magic power in the inner partition of a warehouse wall. However, looking at it, Seeing the cyan magic crystal that was so deeply hidden and dim in light, Cellululu felt a vague feeling of trouble that could not be explained.
"The magic crystal just now is red, so it is of the fire system, but this cyan one is of the wind system. Judging from the color and size, these magic crystals should be very high-level magic crystals. Only one of the ordinary engraving arrays can be used. It seems wasteful, but two different series of high-level magic crystals are used here, and if the lines here are roughly connected, it is just a low-level element agglomeration device. Such a simple imprinting array requires With such a high-level magic crystal, what exactly does the core array here look like, and what level of magic crystal should be used to satisfy and support this imprinting array, and what is its use?"
Jin and Will's expressions gradually became serious. So far, the visions have been revealed one after another, but not a single mystery has been revealed. They just feel trapped in a dense fog, and the more they explore, the more confused they feel.
After a moment, Jin broke the silence: "Let's go and take a look at the lower floors."
