when!
when! when! when…
The big wall clock in the study rang twelve times, and it was already midnight. Du Wei sat in a chair in the study and yawned boredly. Shaking the empty wine bottle in his hand, he sighed softly.
"It's really a boring night." He seemed to smile. Then he raised his head and looked at the portraits of the ancestors of the Luo Lin family hanging on the wall.
Well, there won't be any magical creatures popping out of some oil painting tonight.
Du Wei had this absurd idea in his heart, and then his heart moved, he was idle and bored anyway, he simply jumped off the chair, and then personally arranged a magic barrier at the door of the study, and moved the shelf , climbed onto the bookshelf, and opened the mechanism on that bookshelf...
Looking at the familiar tunnel entrance, Du Wei smiled and walked in casually.
It is still so dark and gloomy here, but for Du Wei, there is nothing scary here, he went straight to the bottom, and then cleverly knocked on the pattern of the Big Dipper on the ceiling, opened his original Find the secret room with Semel's relic.
Returning to this room again, he looked at the big stone platform in front of him. It was here at the beginning that I opened the last words left by Semel. This is a magic circle, but. After reading the last words, it was discarded.
In fact, there is really nothing here. Du Wei had checked the place thoroughly at the beginning. He even opened several iron cabinets in the room, and there was really nothing of value. But Du Wei was just bored tonight. Sitting dryly in the study, I came in to have a look.
He simply sat on the big stone platform, and then stroked the magic patterns on the stone slab back and forth. When I first came here, I was just a rookie in magic, but now, judging from Du Wei's magic attainments, the pattern of this magic circle is really exquisite, obviously my great-great-great-grandmother. The magic power is indeed very clever.
He thought of the Semel who hadn't heard from her for many days... Sigh, this woman is so stingy, she kept ignoring her for a month, but she really didn't come out... Why bother.
He lazily walked towards the slate, his eyes casually looking at the ceiling of this secret room...
After a while, Du Wei jumped up suddenly. He was still lazy at first, but now his eyes narrowed. He looked at the ceiling carefully, and then frowned...
It seems... a little strange.
On the ceiling of this secret room. There are several recessed patterns, which Du Wei had seen long ago when he first came here. However, Du Wei judged these recessed places after touching them several times. It should have been inlaid with a few magical gemstones for lighting.
But now, as Du Wei's magical attainments are becoming more and more advanced. Looking at the ceiling again today, I can see a difference!
He stood on tiptoe and stretched out his hand to touch the ceiling hard. Fortunately, he is a little older now. He is also much taller than when he first came here, standing on the stone slab again. So it is not as strenuous as before. I reached out and touched the ceiling for a while, the several recesses of the pattern. I was pressed a few times by him...
Then, at this moment, suddenly...
boom! !
The two stone slabs on the ceiling above the head suddenly separated from the left and right, like a door being opened, and then the inside was filled with dust, and there was a crash, and an unknown thing covered his head and face, carrying choking dust, and suddenly fell down , hit Du Wei's head heavily.
Du Wei let out an ouch, squatted down with his head in his hands, grinned for a while in pain, and then carefully looked at the thing that fell...
A square plate, because I don't know how many years have passed, there is a thick layer of dust on it, which has completely covered up its original appearance. Du Wei blew hard, and the dust immediately scattered, choking Du Wei coughing, he didn't dare to blow again, so he had to wipe it hard with his sleeve...
Um
When the dust is wiped off, revealing the original color inside...
Du Wei's eyes widened.
Golden
He squeezed it hard, it turned out to be gold? ! !
The gold plate was about as thick as four fingers, and it was heavy to hold in his hand. Du Wei sat down directly, regardless of the dust on his body and face, and quickly wiped the dust on it with his sleeve. Finally, this thing It finally showed its true colors.
"It's... a book?"
Du Wei took a breath, his mouth was full of dust, and he couldn't care less. This is indeed a book, but it is made of pure gold, and the stitching is very tight. Du Wei tried to fiddle with it, but found that it could not be opened at all.
Is it too old and stuck
Du Wei thought for a while, and immediately took out a dagger from the storage ring, held it in his hand, and was about to insert it into the seam, but suddenly heard a voice behind him.
"I wouldn't do this if I were you."
"Ah!" Du Wei was frightened, and quickly turned his head to look, but saw Semel standing quietly behind him with a strange look, but her body was suspended...
Hell, in this kind of gloomy secret room, she looks like a ghost.
Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "Hmph, how did you come out? Didn't you say you would ignore me for a month? Also, please say hello before you come out next time, otherwise, you will be scared to death."
After a pause, Du Wei looked at this guy suspiciously: "Hey! You, are you that magical creature? Or my great-great-great-grandmother? Who came out today..."
Before he finished speaking, the guy behind him suddenly jumped onto the stone platform and sat next to Du Wei, as if on purpose, shaking her pair of white and blunt little "Uh... It seems that there is no need to ask. You It's that magical creature." Du Wei sighed. If it was that cold and weird guy who seemed to be possessed by a real Semel, he wouldn't shake his calf in front of me.
"Huh." The magical creature Semel seemed a little dissatisfied, but then her eyes fell on the thing in Du Wei's hand: "If I were you, I wouldn't use this dagger to try to force it open."
"Why?" After Du Wei asked this sentence, he immediately rolled his eyes: "Do you know how to open it?"
"I don't know." Semel shook his head: "I don't know that there is such a thing hidden in the ceiling of this room. If I knew, I would have told you. However, I have a faint feeling that this thing seems to have something Familiar... hmm. Like I should know..."
As she spoke, she held her head in distress, with a look of deep thought.
Du Wei curled his lips: "Since you don't know, why can't I try."
After finishing speaking, he raised the knife in his hand and slammed the dagger into the seam of the book of innocence. Before Semel could cry out in surprise, he heard a bang, and the thing in his hand was inserted by the dagger. Suddenly, a group of pure gold rays of light erupted, and there was a powerful force in this light. Du Wei didn't even have time to shout, he was blasted by the light, and immediately flew out, hit the ceiling heavily, and then hit the ground.
"You... are you okay?" Semel was taken aback.
Du Wei struggled to sit up, but covered his face with his hands, and yelled bitterly, "I, my nose... I almost broke my nose."
Semel sighed: "Look, I said you'd better not do this."
Du Wei was a little annoyed. But he still calmed down, dropped the dagger, and turned over the golden book in his hand.
What the hell is this. That group of golden light just now. Apparently some kind of magic can be found in this book. Where is the magic pattern
Seeing that Du Wei's nose was getting red, Semel said kindly in a low voice, "Does it hurt? Hmm... How about trying another way?"
Du Wei said angrily, "What can I do?"
"Well... when you came here last time, did you use your blood to open the relics left by Semel? Maybe the blood of the descendants of the Rowling family can be opened."
Du Wei thought for a while, then sighed, took the dagger, stabbed his fingertips lightly, blood came out, and then squeezed out a drop, which dripped on the gold plate.
Sure enough, after the drop of blood dripped on the gold plate, it immediately melted into it silently. Du Wei's eyes lit up when he saw it: it really worked.
Then, on the gold plate, a ball of golden light slowly emerged again.
Du Wei was hit and hurt just now, and when he saw the golden light coming out, he was so frightened that he quickly threw the gold plate aside, and then dodged far away.
Fortunately, this time, the golden light didn't have any harmful power in it. With the light flowing on the golden half, and then silently, the remaining dust on it suddenly disappeared...
The gold plate was opened silently...
Yi? Du Wei didn't care about protecting his nose, so he rushed up and turned to the first page.
This pure gold book does not have many pages. After all, the pages made of gold are already very thick. After opening the first page, there is a picture on it... Du Wei stared at it after only one glance!
The painting is delicate and lifelike, and it is exactly that: in a gloomy secret room, a young man in a fine attire sits on a stone platform, holding a gold plate in his hand, and on the gold plate, glowing Shining golden...
Hell, isn't this what he looked like just now
Du Wei's heart moved, as if he had guessed something faintly, he couldn't wait to turn to the second page.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but after looking at it, Du Wei almost fainted from anger! !
I saw the same painting on the second page!
And the content of the painting: the boy holding the book was sent flying by the golden light on the book, and hit the ceiling...
But this time, at the bottom of the page, there was an extra line of words.
"Du Wei, your nose must be hurting—Aragorn"
"..." Du Wei's face immediately turned green and white, and then suddenly roared: "Damn! You bastard Aragorn! You bastard who gave birth to a son without an asshole..."
As soon as he said this, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly covered his mouth with all his might! I am Aragorn, and Aragorn is me... If I scold him for having a son without an asshole, isn't that scolding myself? No no no! !
"What’s wrong with you?"
Semel next to him had a weird face, and looked at Du Wei who was yelling and cursing: "What is written in this book? It seems that you are very angry... Well, do you recognize the words on it?"
"Yi? This is clearly written... Ah Beipan suddenly realized that he was so angry just now, but he ignored an important thing.
The line "Message" at the bottom of this page is not written in the Roland Empire characters.
Yes, Chinese characters!
Then the problem came out.
Apparently, this is a thing left by Aragorn. Or it may be a suicide note, or it may be a clue of guidance.
But the question is... how can the things left by Aragorn be in the castle of the Rollins family? !
With these questions in mind, Du Wei turned to the third page. On the third page, there are no pictures, but densely written words. Similarly, these words are also recorded in Chinese characters.
"I think you must be asking now why the things I left behind are in Luo Lin's house."
This is the first sentence, Du Wei couldn't help sighing.
It's really weird to leave a message to myself.
"... This question, we have to start from the beginning, my dear Du Wei."
