Law of the Devil

Chapter 143: The eve of the festival day

Views:

Ruo Lin told about the fleet she saw at the Enke Port Wharf, after Du Wei listened. His face seemed to be very calm, but he just nodded and said lightly: "I see."

After a pause, he seemed as if nothing had happened, and suddenly changed the topic: "Ruolin, let's put the goods in the warehouse of Enke Port there first. It will be the summer festival soon, and there are many people in the imperial capital smashing it with their hands." After all, we haven't got the legal approval for this product, and if something happens, the family's face will not look good. You just send more people to watch in Enke Port."

However, Ruolin heard something unusual from Du Wei's words, and couldn't help asking: "What do you mean... Could it be that during the summer festival, there might be some unrest in the imperial capital?"

Du Wei smiled: "I didn't say that. You don't have to guess wildly. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with us. You just need to take care of those pirates. The imperial capital will be more strict in the investigation recently. It’s better not to cause any trouble. You don’t need to live in the imperial capital. Let’s wrong you and go back to Enke Port to live. If there is something, I will send someone to find you.”

Ruolin didn't want to ask more questions, so she had to bow down and go down.

When Ruolin left, a trace of haze appeared on Du Wei's calm face, worry flashed in his eyes, and he sighed softly: "Hey...the fleet...my father, you are really restless. Are you going to play tricks on the summer festival day?"

The cargo on the fleet is definitely not ordinary cargo, and there are soldiers escorting it... It is so easy to enter and leave the imperial capital, except for high-level military officials like my father, I am afraid that no one else can mobilize the city guards.

So, in this way, is he going to attack Prince Chen

Du Wei suddenly remembered Prince Chen's gentle smile and friendly attitude towards him. Can't help feeling sad, do you want to... tell Prince Chen? Then Du Wei remembered his mother's begging, he sighed, shook his head, and whispered to himself: "I'm sorry, Prince Chen, the family has a heavy responsibility, you and I are enemies and not friends, I can't help you with this." up."

Du Wei sat in the room and looked at the magic potion formula for a while. After drinking a pot of high-quality tea brought from the south, in the evening, I suddenly heard a sound like thunder coming from behind!

boom!

In an instant, even the small building where Du Wei was located shook faintly a few times. Then I saw the door of a room downstairs was kicked open, and then thick smoke billowed violently out of it, and Gargamel the mouse ran out of it as if running for his life while coughing violently.

"Cough cough cough... but it almost choked me to death..." It rushed into Du Wei's room in one breath. Without further ado, he grabbed the teapot on the table, poured it into his mouth, and then let out a long breath. The mouse's face was covered with soot black and white, its eyes were reddened by the smoke, and even a few of its beards were scorched.

Du Wei frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"Don't mention it! That Bow of Death. I finally figured it out. I tried to use a magic crystal to figure out the magic circle inside. It caused an explosion! Boy, there must be something unusual about this bow, I've already set up two layers of barriers in the room, and they shattered in no time! But fortunately, these two layers of barriers, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep this building."

Du Wei stood up with a smile and walked out of the yard first. Dismiss the guards of Luo Lin's family who came here after hearing the news, and only said that they were doing magic experiments. Everyone in Luo Lin's family knows that this young master is now a magician. Du Wei's explanation is not surprising. It's just that when they left, everyone looked at Du Wei with awe.

After driving away many guards, Du Wei asked Made to come and watch at the gate of the yard. He also asked Gargamel to set up a magic circle around his residence, and then the two of them got into the laboratory downstairs together.

The thick smoke in the room was almost released, and Du Wei cast a little wind magic again. After the thick smoke was blown away, on the table in the middle of the room, the bird snatched back by Du Wei The "Bow of Silence" lay quietly on the platform.

Du Weidi's platform is made of stone. He doesn't have the capital to spend a lot of money to get a test bench made of metal and mithril like the old lunatic Arico. Du Wei looked at the bow carefully, and immediately felt a little difference!

On the Bow of Death. There was still a faint ray of light radiating around it, which enveloped the bow, and the violent explosion just now didn't even damage the bow at all. Wait until the smoke clears. The bow still looks so new and bright, not even a trace of smoke. The whole bow seems to be faintly flowing with strange brilliance. The streamlined bow looks like a new moon in the night sky. The bow angles on both sides are polished with a strange and transparent crystal, and there are two curved The big curved barb, on the barb, was polished into a sharp blade!

Apparently, with such a special shape, the master who uses the Bow of Nirvana can not only use the bow and arrow to injure people from a long distance when fighting. And in close combat, the sharp blades on the bow horns on both sides of this bow can also become a sharp weapon in close combat!

And Gargamel probably tested the hardness of the blade, and used a good knight's steel chest plate. This blade can easily cut a hole, and with a hard poke, the sharp stab on the bow horn can cut the blade. The steel armor poked a hole!

"The material of this thing is not simple. I can only guess that it is made of some kind of high-quality crystal after special processing, and maybe some synthetic materials. As for what kind of crystal it is, I can't tell Got it." Gargamel pointed at the Bow of Nirvana, the mouse who had been studying this thing for a day and night was obviously very excited: "This shape is different from all existing bows on the mainland, no archer can be good at close range This bow is an exception... However, I guess, if you want to make full use of this bow, you should have a set of special martial skills that go with this bow."

The special martial arts matching this bow... Du Wei thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "I don't know about that. The guy who died under my hands seems to be very powerful, but he probably doesn't know how to do it like you said. A set of martial arts. If there is one, it must be an extremely powerful martial art. Then he won't be killed by me when I get close."

"The guy whose bow you robbed is definitely not the original owner of this bow." Gargamel curled his lips: "I don't know the material of this spar, but judging from the age, I'm afraid there must be at least a few A hundred years!"

Afterwards, Gargamel held the Bow of Nirvana in both hands, and handed it to Du Wei: "Look, do you see the patterns on it? This is a strange magic circle, which even I can't understand, but What is certain is that this is mainly based on wind magic. It is also supplemented with some buff magic such as strength and agility speed... It is possible to fuse several types of magic together to create such a complicated magic circle. Make it so small... Well, the master who made this bow is at least a figure at the level of a master of magic!"

Du Wei didn't care much about these things: "What I want to know is, how to use it?"

Speaking of this question, Gargamel suddenly burst out laughing. The mouse prime minister smiled obscenely and complacently. He couldn't hide his complacency in his voice, and he grinned and said, "This is the real most mysterious place! Let me tell you, little Du Wei, you are really serious this time." I earned it! The power of this thing is absolutely powerful! And it is far beyond your imagination!"

finished. It flicked the bow string lightly, and said: "So that poor ghost whose bow was snatched by you. Is it a warrior? Is this bow, a warrior can use it to stimulate it with fighting spirit. After all, it is blessed with magic. After the fighting energy is stimulated, the fighting energy can be condensed into an air arrow. Whether it is the speed, accuracy, and power of the launch, it is several times stronger than the best ordinary strong bow. From this point of view, it can already be regarded as a rare thing on the mainland. It’s a top-grade treasure bow! But in fact, I think the original unlucky owner of this bow doesn’t know how to use this bow at all! Heh heh…”

As it said, it suddenly stretched out its hand and flicked lightly at the arrow notch of the bow, and then the mouse slowly injected a bit of magic power, and the bow immediately shone with bright colors! A slight click sound was heard, and a small crack suddenly appeared in the arrow slot, and then a magic crystal rolled down from it!

"Let me announce the true purpose of this magical bow!" The mouse laughed: "This bow is not for warriors at all! It is a magic bow! It is specially made for magicians !"

"... magician?"

Du Wei was really surprised.

Magicians use bows and arrows

Do magicians need bows and arrows? When the magicians on the mainland are fighting, who is not holding a magic wand. Chanting spells profoundly, casting powerful magic to injure the enemy

Use a bow and arrow. That's a standard samurai patent!

If magicians need to use bows and arrows to fight the enemy, will it be necessary for magicians to use long swords and broadswords in the future

"Don't doubt, this is indeed a bow specially made for magicians!" Gargamel saw Du Wei's suspicion. Concentrated and solemnly said: "You are just lucky, little Du Wei! Fortunately, no one knows the details of this bow. If people know about it, it will cause many people to break their heads to grab it!"

After finishing speaking, Gargamel gently picked up the magic crystal that rolled down from the bow. This is a high-quality magic crystal, but it has been dim for many years, and the magic power inside has obviously been consumed. Exhausted, and the passage of time has also made this crystal full of fine cracks, and even some places have deteriorated, revealing a gray-black color.

Gargamel held the crystal. Close your eyes, a trace of magic power slowly poured into the crystal. After the magic power crystal was infused with magic power, the originally dull crystal glowed with a glimmer of luster again!

Gargamel re-inserted the crystal infused with magic power into the groove of the bow's arrow slot, and after a soft magic wave, the groove disappeared immediately, and the surface of the bow looked extremely smooth, without any gaps.

"Take it!" Gargamel handed the bow to Du Wei again, and said with a smile, "Let's go to the roof, you can try this new toy."

One person and one mouse immediately moved through the stairs, and Du Wei came to the roof of the small building where he lived alone.

Standing on the roof of the small three-story building, Du Wei held the bow in both hands and looked up at the sky. The sun was setting in the distance, and the faint golden afterglow fell on the earth. Du Wei looked at the setting sun in the distance. Silently pulling the bowstring, I only felt that the tentacles were very flexible. Although it was a bit difficult to pull, it was pulled away after all. As the bowstring was drawn, a wave of magic power that shocked Du Wei immediately appeared on the entire bow! The strong vibration gathered more and more, and finally condensed into a point...

Du Wei clearly saw that on the arrow slot, a wind blade formed by the wind magic condensed from the bow itself was forming, and then the wind blade seemed to shrink and shrink. Finally, it condensed into a shape like a small arrow...

As Du Wei loosened the bowstring. I heard a whoosh...

Is this an arrow

No! This is clearly a shooting star!

This meteor whizzed out in Du Wei's hands. Roaring towards the direction of the extremely distant sunset! That castration is as fast as running thunder! The brilliant magic radiance scattered light dust in the air! In such an instant, this meteor has disappeared within the reach of Du Wei's sight!

Du Wei was stunned! Looking at the direction where the meteor disappeared in the distance, although I can't see the power of the place where it was shot, but only by this scene. The power must not be small!

Such power is more powerful than when I saw that guy use this bow to kill a court magician and wound the inner court warrior Chick two nights ago. More than doubled!

More importantly, I don't have any fighting spirit, and I am only a little stronger than ordinary people in terms of martial arts...but I can shoot such a terrifying arrow!

"Sure enough... so strong!" Gargamel stood on tiptoe, looking at the sunset and watching the shooting star go away. Suddenly, a trace of emotion flashed in the mouse's eyes: "If this kind of bow can be popularized, then everyone in the world is good at archery." Earth warriors will be replaced by magicians!"

Du Wei held back his inner shock. Sit down slowly, and stroke back and forth on the bow of extinction with both hands!

Magic weapon! Truly a magical ranged weapon!

It does not require any power from the user, and is a long-range attack weapon powered entirely by magic power. "Pan, have you guessed it?" Gargamel's eyes flickered: "Look... If you magnify this bow dozens of times and change its shape a little... wouldn't it mean that the manufacturing process on the walls of the imperial capital has been completely lost..."

"Magic cannon!" Du Wei answered steadily, his voice seemed to be unable to hear a trace of vibration, but his eyes were extremely strange: "If this thing is magnified dozens of times, it is almost equivalent to the magic guide running away!

Or... the manufacturing principle of this thing is exactly the same as the magic cannon! "There is another episode that Du Wei didn't know at the time: just after Du Wei tested the Bow of Death for the first time. On the same day, the garrison of a small town five miles away from the imperial capital reported an official document: In the summer of 960 years, on the evening of June 10, a meteorite fell in the southeast sky, the red light was bright, and the sound was like thunder. Gravel clogging. Pray for Speedy to fix it so...

No one knows the truth of this matter. Even Du Wei himself didn't know the power of this arrow. It's so big! The day before the summer festival.

Made went out early in the morning. He was given a "beautiful errand" by Master Du Wei these two days, and he was asked to bring enough gold coins with him every day. Uncle Mud's footprints, where there are many people, he will gather there. Master Du Wei's explanation is very simple: "You just go out to the streets to eat, drink and have fun. You can spend as much as you want, and you can just reimburse all the money when you come back. But there is one interesting, lively, and weird news that happened in the imperial capital recently. There are other things that are different from the past, you have to read them carefully and memorize them one by one, and you will tell me when you come back."

With such a weird order, Made didn't say anything, just took the money bag and went shopping in the street.

The day before the summer festival, the bustling streets in the imperial capital were crowded with people, and countless shops opened their doors for business. Merchants from all over the world displayed the strangest and weirdest things from all over the mainland. You must know that the summer festival is an annual grand festival on the Roland Continent, and in the imperial capital, there are also military parades of the City Guards and Imperial City Guards, as well as grand citizen parades. Especially this year, I heard that on the eve of the National Day, court astrologers will do astrology divination. It is said that an unlucky broom star appeared, and His Majesty the Emperor was furious. He chopped down the unlucky astrologer with one knife. For this unhappy matter, His Majesty the Emperor specially ordered this year's summer festival to be even more grand, trying to use this celebration and celebration to sweep away the haze brought by the broom star!

For such a lively event, tourists from all over the world flocked to the imperial capital. for a while. The prosperous imperial capital is overcrowded, and all the hotels are full, especially the hotels near the central square of the imperial capital. What's more, the price is ten times higher than usual, and the supply of guest rooms is in short supply. It is said that this year, His Majesty the Pope was specially invited to perform divine magic in the square, and the chairman of the magic union will also bring those mysterious great magicians to come.

More importantly, His Majesty has already issued a special order. On the day of the festival, the magic circle of the imperial capital will be activated! ! That thousand-year-old magic circle left behind by His Majesty Aragorn! The last time the magic circle was activated was when the alien war in the Northwest Grassland ended twenty years ago. In order to welcome the triumphant expeditionary army, a magic circle was opened. Citizens who have experienced that scene deeply remember the majestic and magnificent scene when the magic circle was opened! The brilliant magical light enveloped the entire imperial capital, and the sky changed into colorful colors! You can even vaguely see all kinds of strange monsters flying in the sky! Thousands of illusions, confusing people's eyes!

It's so lively. I am afraid that I may not be able to catch up once in my life, if I miss it. Isn't it such a pity? !

Therefore, this year's summer festival, the number of foreign tourists in the imperial capital has increased several times compared to previous years. The people in the public security station of the imperial capital were all over the place. The number of soldiers in the patrol team of the security station that patrols the streets every day has tripled. When there are too many people, dragons and snakes mix together, which often leads to many security incidents and fights. Thefts and robberies are endless, and the prisons in the public security station are almost full. The soldiers at the security station complained one after another. Everyone canceled all their vacations and stayed on duty all day. They even slept in the barracks at the security station. Many people, even some officers, hadn’t gone home to hug their wives for several days. .

It is said that the city guards are also exhausted, and there are a lot of people entering and leaving the imperial capital these days. The number of dungeon guards checking at several city gates has tripled. And just the day before yesterday, in order to relieve the pressure on the imperial capital. According to the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, and the joint order issued by the High Command and the Government Affairs Department, there are temporary restrictions on the entry and exit of the gates of the imperial capital. You can leave the city, but you can only enter the imperial capital. Number refused! Everyone who enters the imperial capital must go through strict and meticulous registration!

At the gates of several cities, additional brigades of heavily armed Guards soldiers were dispatched. If a riot occurs, it can be suppressed immediately on the spot.

Moreover, because the imperial capital is overcrowded. In order to ensure the safety of the nobles and prevent any safety issues caused by some outsiders fleeing to the noble residence area, the Guards specially dispatched an infantry regiment to guard the "rich area" leading to the noble mansion area near the imperial city. Even the temple is temporarily under martial law... After all, there are many believers on the mainland. All believers who come to the imperial capital do not want to go to the sacred temple to admire the statue of the great god and listen to the orthodox gospel taught by the temple. In order to ensure the order of the temple, the streets near the temple. A lot of troops were also sent to maintain order.

Only the vicinity of the Magic Union was as quiet as ever. After all, a magician is an existence of awe in people's hearts, and no one would want to go to the vicinity of the magic union to see what a magician looks like!

Made ran outside for a few days, even a wallet was stolen by a thief during the period, and two pairs of shoes were trampled off by crowded pedestrians while strolling, and after finally reporting all the news to Du Wei, the young master There didn't seem to be any expression of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, but he just said lightly: "Understood, for the expenses of these few days, you can withdraw the gold coins after paying the bill yourself."

After Made left, Du Wei tapped his forehead and sat quietly for a moment, with a strange smile on his lips, and said to himself: "Well, troops were sent to the gate of the city... troops were sent to the residences of nobles and wealthy families, and troops were also arranged near the temple. ... It really looks like it's going to be a big fight!"
