What is the use of returning the "King's Heart"
The old magician didn't say this answer, and his story ended here, and he refused to go on. This made Du Wei very depressed. No matter in his previous life or in his present life, he was a very curious guy. It was really hard for him to tell half of this kind of mysterious story without giving an answer.
However, the old magician at least vaguely answered one of Du Wei's questions: "Our goal is still to go north all the way. Taking you with us...it will be useful when the time comes."
All right!
Du Wei gritted his teeth. Anyway, he had already boarded the black boat, so he might as well go all the way to the black boat. Besides, under the hands of such two strong men, Du Wei has nothing to do.
Although there was a Queen Medusa behind her, Du Wei would not naively think that the Queen Medusa would obey her orders. This beautiful, almost catastrophically beautiful snake followed her solely to "observe human nature". So, don't expect others to be your thug and younger brother.
All the way north... what's in the north
The old magician smiled mysteriously: "You will know when you arrive."
If it weren't for the huge gap in strength between the two sides, Du Wei really wanted to take off his boots and hit the old magician's nose hard. Look at this old guy if his nose gets smashed flat. Will you still laugh so proudly!
In this way, there was one less Dardanelle in the team, but one more old magician.
"We have to hurry up." The old magician announced: "I set up a magic circle for those guys in the temple, just on the shore of Dayuan Lake. According to my estimation, they want to get out of that magic circle. , It will take two days. And I set up some false appearances for them, hoping that they will chase us in the opposite direction."
All right. Then hit the road!
Du Wei sighed.
The old magician took out the bag that seemed never to be exhausted from his bosom, reached in for a while, and took out a whistle, which he held in his mouth and blew for a while... The whistle didn't make any sound, but the side But Hussein and Medusa frowned at the same time.
Obviously, this is another magic tool.
Not long after, the sound of running came from the snow. Then, in Du Wei's surprised eyes, four strong wolves ran from the snow in the forest!
Ice Demon Wolf! !
"Oh! No, no, don't move, don't frighten these little guys!" The old magician waved his hand, preventing Du Wei and Hussein from attacking. He walked over slowly, opened his sleeves, and muttered a spell that Du Wei couldn't understand. The four ice and snow demon wolves in the snow were as docile as domestic puppies, barked a few times, and obediently bent down and lay down in the snow, letting the old magician gently stroke their backs On the ground fur.
Then the old magician smiled and said: "Okay, there are four of us in total, and each of us rides one. This is better than walking on legs."
Riding a... wolf
Or the Ice Demon Wolf
Du Wei didn't know whether he should sigh or sigh.
"Come here, little friend." The old magician smiled kindly: "You are the smallest in size and the lightest in weight... oh, just ride it." He said. He pointed to one of the demon wolves with gray fur. Seeing Du Wei approaching, that wolf suddenly bristled all over its body and let out an extremely unfriendly whining sound of threat. At the same time, it bared its teeth and stared at Du Wei.
"Are you sure? I'll ride it?" Looking at the wolf, Du Wei suspected that if he took a step closer, it would definitely open its mouth and swallow him.
"Come here! Don't be afraid!" The old magician waved to Du Wei and hugged the wolf's head at the same time. He leaned down, as if whispering something in the wolf's ear. After that, the magic wolf really calmed down, and followed the old magician to Du Wei's side meekly.
Although the middle-level monsters like the ice and snow wolf are not too tall, they are nearly twice as tall as ordinary wolves. Lying down in front of Du Wei docilely, Du Wei tried to reach out and touch its back under the guidance of the old magician. The magic wolf didn't resist, but lowered its head down and hummed softly. Voice.
"Okay, it likes you." The old magician said with a smile: "Now, ride on, don't move around, I will control where they go."
When he and the old magician entered the frozen forest before, Du Wei had already admired his ability to communicate with animals. At that time, he looked at the few snow dogs that the old magician got randomly from nowhere. , but manipulated so freely, even the knowledgeable Du Wei couldn't identify what kind of magic it was...communicating with animals? Haven't heard of any kind of magic that has this kind of ability
Hussein and Medusa didn't need the help of the old magician. Hussein suppressed the wolf with the powerful fighting spirit of the knight. The wolf under him let out a mournful cry, and stood up helplessly and walked with the knight on his back. Feeling slightly dissatisfied, the knight lightly flicked the wolf's forehead with his finger, which made it jump in pain.
As for Medusa, it is even more frightening. The top-level monsters originally have the instinct to summon lower-level monsters than themselves to drive them. Medusa sat sideways on the back of a wolf, but the wolf was already frightened. Ming, how gentle and gentle you want to be.
However, Medusa accidentally "looked" at the old magician one more time. Although she didn't really open her eyes, there was clearly a slight surprise written on the face facing the old magician.
"Your ability to communicate with living beings is very good." Medusa said softly, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a purebred virtue like you..."
Speaking of this, Medusa suddenly smiled and shut up.
The old magician nodded gratefully. Then he coughed: "Okay, let's go!"
At this moment, a sharp shout suddenly came from the canyon behind: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wait for me!!"
Then I saw a gray meat ball "rolling" out of the entrance of the canyon. It was none other than that mouse prime minister, Lord Gargamel.
Gargamel had already taken off that ridiculous prime minister's robe, and covered his gray hair with a fur coat made of the fur of an unknown animal, with a ridiculous hat on his head, and a small burden on his back. . With all its strength, it rushed to the front of the crowd, threw itself on the ground, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty! You can't just leave poor Gargamel behind! You're gone, how can Gargamel live here alone?" Go down! You know, I'm a mouse now, I can't go back to the human world... But stay here. The canyon belongs to the tree man again... I..."
Even though Medusa is a monster and does not understand human nature, Gargamel has been with her for twenty years and taught her a lot of human knowledge. At this moment, Gargamel is begging. She couldn't help but sighed slightly, and Medusa thought for a while: "Okay, then you can follow."
Gargamel was overjoyed when he heard that, he had already made up his mind to follow Medusa, and he had already packed his things in the bag behind him. As for the rat people in the valley... let them die on their own!
Now that he got the consent, he wiped away his tears immediately, but just looked around, but felt a little troubled.
There are four magic wolves in total.
Gargamel is small and doesn't take much weight. Even if you squeeze with someone and ride a wolf together, it's okay. But after looking at it, Queen Medusa is too beautiful to be human. Moreover, how could Gargamel dare to go up and ride with her after years of accumulating power
As for the indifferent knight who was about to cut his own neck with a sword at every turn, it was too late for Gargamel to hide from him! If you rode with him, maybe some sentence on the road pissed him off, and your gopher head would move.
As for that strange old magician... forget it.
After watching for a long time, Du Wei still looked the most amiable. Gargamel's mouse walked over with a mocking smile on his face. He bowed his head and bowed his head, but still didn't speak. Du Wei already understood its meaning, and sighed: "Okay, you come up, but...you should be able to become smaller?"
Gargamel nodded quickly. Although it changed from a human body to a mouse, it was also because of drinking the fountain of youth. Naturally, 90% of the magical transfiguration technique was useless, and he couldn't turn back into a human or change into other appearances. But at least maintain the shape of a mouse, and it can still be made smaller.
I saw it shaking its body a few times, chanting a few spells in its mouth, shaking its body a few times, then shrunk down immediately, and finally became the size of an ordinary mouse. It's just that it's still very fat, round like a meat ball. It’s just that this appearance is much more pleasing to the eye. It looks a bit like the pet mouse that many girls in Du Wei’s previous life liked to keep, and it also looks a bit like a famous cartoon character in Du Wei’s previous life, the Japanese animation master Miyagi. Jun's work: My Neighbor Totoro.
Du Wei picked it up with both hands, and Gargamel's burden was also behind his back, and then Du Wei put Gargamel in his coat on his chest, but warned: "Be careful not to move around, if you dare Get into my clothes, be careful I will roast you!"
Following the old magician's yell, the four demon wolves immediately spread their legs and started to run vigorously!
In the boundless forest and snow field, four strong demon wolves ran with all their might, leaving a long string of footprints on the snow, but after a while, a dark cloud gathered in the sky again, and then snowflakes floated up. The footprints are covered.
The running speed of these demon wolves is several points faster than that of ordinary horses! In addition, the demon wolves are agile, jumping up and down, even if the forest is blocked by dense trees, they can jump on the branches and continue to move forward.
It's just that sitting on the back of a wolf is much more uncomfortable than sitting on the back of a horse. Although the road was fast, the degree of bumps almost knocked Du Wei's body apart.
Fortunately, when he was resting at night, Du Wei could stretch his body to his heart's content and did the set of movements several times in one breath before he recovered his energy.
When Du Wei was moving, the old magician was watching from the sidelines. After watching Du Wei do it for the first time, the old magician sighed: "This set of things. Hussein taught you, right?"
Du Wei didn't hide it, and admitted it directly. The old magician's face was a little complicated. He stared at Du Wei for a long time, then sighed, turned and left, and there seemed to be a soliloquy from him in the wind: "Destined to be … Everything is predestined. I taught him the first way, and Hussein can teach him the second way... These coincidences are all arranged by fate.”
It took about four days to ride these magic wolves all the way. For four days, he ran wildly in the woods during the day, camped and rested at night, and got up early in the morning to continue his journey.
In this way, even if the magic wolf is much stronger than the ordinary wolf. They are strong and strong, with sharp minions and teeth, but they can't take it anymore after traveling as coolies. The four wolves were a little depressed. The old magician saw it, and it was the fifth day. He let the wolves go, and then took out his whistle again.
After he blew the whistle this time, it wasn't the magic wolf that he summoned, but with a rustling movement, a big hole collapsed in the snow's inner surface! Immediately, a spider as big as a big bed crawled out from the hole!
Seeing such a huge giant spider standing in front of it, gently shaking off the snow and ice from its body, its thick eight-legged claws were covered with a thick layer of yellow hair! Circles of black stripes were exposed on the bulging belly, and its face... After Du Wei took a look, he almost didn't dare to take a second look!
This giant spider. It actually has a human-like face! It's just that it seems to be distorted, and the facial features are a little misplaced. After opening the mouth, there are two giant teeth!
The old magician jumped on the spider's back like no one else was there, then gently pressed on the spider's head, and closed his eyes...
After a while, he wiped his sweat lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, come up... all come up."
Gargamel in Du Wei's arms was trembling with fright, its teeth were chattering: "Evil Faced Spider Queen! God! This is an "Evil Faced Spider Queen"!"
Evil Faced Spider Queen
Du Wei frowned, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps!
Du Wei, who has learned a lot of knowledge about monsters along the way, once heard Beinrich, the head of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Corps, mention several advanced monsters. Among them is the Evil Faced Spider Queen.
This is a terrible and disgusting thing. They are... "they" to be precise. This kind of spider grows under the deep ice under the ground, and often after the male and female spiders mate. The female spider will eat the male spider. Therefore, all spiders that can grow to a large area are female spiders, so they are called "spider queens".
This kind of monster lives under the ice and snow, with infinite strength, it can easily tear the ice that is harder than metal, and their bodies are covered with a hard shell! If you want to know how hard it is... There were records in history that several fifth-level warriors slashed with their swords with all their strength, but they couldn't hurt it at all.
At the same time, they also have the instinct of spiders: spinning silk and forming webs!
The spider silk of this kind of monster is extremely tough, and it can't be cut with a sword. It is several times stronger than an iron chain, and it carries a deadly dissolving venom! Once the prey is entangled on this spider web, the venom will immediately invade the body, and then the whole body will dissolve quickly!
That's not counting. This kind of spider also has another powerful ability, that is, they can spread a poisonous mist!
This is a kind of weakening magic that has been strengthened several times. Once this kind of spiders face the enemy, they can disperse the poisonous mist, making the enemy several times weaker. Whether it is magic or martial arts, it will be weakened a lot. Moreover, it also has a strong penetrating power... Even if you hold your breath, the poisonous mist can still invade your body through the sweat pores of your skin.
And what makes it disgusting is the eating habits of this kind of thing.
When catching prey, they will not kill the prey immediately, but paralyze the prey with venom to keep the prey alive... They will not bite or gnaw the prey, but there is a long growth in their mouths The sharp straw-like thing can penetrate the prey's body, and then... suck!
Suck blood, brains, bone marrow... everything liquid or semi-liquid!
Even the prey paralyzed by the venom can still maintain a clear consciousness when being sucked, but the pain will be much lower... Will watch this monster suck its own body fluids!
Moreover, this spider monster is a guy who likes to "storage". They don't eat their prey all at once, they eat half...and keep half! Often after the prey is sucked a lot of liquid, they will be stored in a cocoon-like state wrapped in spider silk... Even, after a period of storage, the prey is still alive!
I don't know what kind of skill the old magician used to be able to attract and drive such high-level monsters, but obviously he is not as easy as controlling those magic wolves before.
Heaving a sigh of relief, the old magician looked at Du Wei who was in a daze, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Boy. Are you afraid? Well, this guy is very obedient, come up quickly."
Du Wei endured the nausea and climbed onto the spider's back. The yellow hairy tentacles on the spider's back made Du Wei feel sick again and again, but after he sat down firmly, he smiled wryly and said, "I said. Can you not make it next time?" Such a disgusting thing? Can't you summon four more demonic wolves?"
"Demonic wolf?" The old magician smiled: "Boy, take a look here! This is already the northern part of the frozen forest! All the monsters that can move here are monsters, and there is no land here! Can you find such a place?" You guys are already very lucky."
Seeing that Hussein sat down next to Du Wei without saying a word, Medusa hesitated a little... It seems that snakes don't like spiders either.
Gargamel was still shivering in Du Wei's arms. Du Wei couldn't help muttering: "What method did this old guy use to drive these monsters to..."
Just before Du Wei finished mumbling. A familiar voice suddenly came from the depths of his heart: "You can't guess? You can't guess?"
Du Wei almost called out!
Semel
Semel, who couldn't be contacted for so many days, finally responded!
Semel survived by relying on Du Wei's spiritual power. At this moment, there was no need to talk, and Semel's voice fell directly into Du Wei's brain clearly word by word in the spiritual world tightly in his mind.
"In vain you have read so many books, claiming to be the most knowledgeable member of the Rowling family. Why can't you turn around in this matter? You always think it's a kind of magic, why don't you think about other things out of magic?" Way? Let me tell you, this ability to manipulate creatures is not a magic at all, but a very famous thing... Have you guessed it?"
Manipulate creatures... Manipulate creatures...
Du Wei's eyes suddenly lit up!
Indeed. This is indeed not any kind of magic!
but...
Du Wei peeked at the old magician, and suddenly remembered a sentence that Medusa almost said that day!
De...
De what
druid! !
Only druids. Only this kind of magical race can possess the ability to be close to nature and communicate with all creatures!
However, Du Wei has read in the literature that on this continent of Roland, the name Druid is already a historical term. This magical race was extinct a long time ago.
But there are no absolutes.
"Hello." Du Wei thought of this, and suddenly smiled: "Old guy... I suddenly thought of it. You are a druid, right? I didn't expect that. You are actually a druid! The race of druids Isn't it extinct?"
There was no surprise on the face of the old magician, he gave Du Wei a cold look, and said in a low voice, "Guess what? Hmph, did Semel tell you? Otherwise, it's up to you Such a kid, how could he guess? I’m afraid you don’t even know what a Druid is! Stop shouting, everyone here knows what I am except you!”
Sure enough, Medusa had recognized the true face of the old magician a few days ago, and Hussein also had a calm face, obviously he knew it a long time ago.
The only thing I don't know until now is probably Du Wei alone... Oh, and maybe the mouse in his arms.
The old magician's eyes lit up suddenly, and his face showed a bit of excitement: "Semel communicated with you? Can you ask her to come out... Oh, why doesn't she want to see me?"
Du Wei was also thinking about the relationship between the old magician and Semel. He asked a question in his heart, and Semel's answer was a little dazed: "I don't know... I probably don't know him. But not only do I know something. I I just feel very resistant to this person in my heart, as if I don’t want to get close to this guy.”
Du Wei shrugged his shoulders, and before he spoke, the old magician had already guessed something when he saw Du Wei's face, and he sighed: "Forget it... It's not surprising that she doesn't want to see me. But, I I want her to come out and take a look... Look at this Fang! Back then. We have been here together before!"
As soon as the words fell, Du Wei felt a sudden gust of wind behind him, and then Semel's hand was on Du Wei's shoulder. When Du Wei turned his head, he saw Semel standing beside him. Behind the ground, her silver hair looks extraordinarily elegant in this icy and snowy place, with red clothes and bare feet. Just floating in mid-air, staring at the distance idiotically.
The old magician saw Semel, with an excited expression on his face, and took a deep breath: "You...you are willing to show yourself after all!"
"I don't know you." Semel looked into the distance with a blank face. Shaking his head, he said, "I'm not the same Semel you know. Besides, I've never been here... But why is my sense of familiarity getting stronger and stronger?"
Hussein snorted, hugged his long sword and closed his eyes to rest his mind, while Medusa didn't say a word, just faced the direction where Samel was standing, frowning in silence (although Samel looked like an ordinary person) It is invisible, but Queen Medusa doesn't need to "look" at all, she can already sense that there is one more person here.)
"Although this kid said that you are not Semel, but a magical creature... But I feel that this may not be true." The old magician's eyes were deep. Staring closely at Semel: "You feel familiar with this place... really? What's that like?"
A stern look suddenly appeared on Semel's clear face, and this stern look flashed through her eyes. Her bright red robe was suddenly rolled up in the cold wind, and she shouted: "I don't know! But all I know is that standing here, I suddenly hate you very much! Suddenly I feel that I hate you so much in my heart... I can't help but think... think... Want to kill you!"
As she spoke, she raised her slender fingers and pointed at the old magician. A layer of frost had covered her pretty face, and a trace of cold air emerged from her fingertips, which was faintly mixed with electric light!
"Hahahahahaha!!" The old magician laughed long and loudly. Then he looked at Semel's fingertips: "Look! Look at your fingers! Do you still dare to say that you are just a magical creature? It is impossible for a purely spiritual magical creature to use magic! Look at your Between your fingers! What is that! Isn’t that the star magic you used back then!!”
Semel couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. Looking down at her fingers, the blankness in her eyes became even stronger, and she couldn't help but tremble: "I... what's going on here... I, how can I use magic?"
Du Wei was sighing.
Use magic? This woman has used magic more than once or twice along the way, and one of them almost killed Hussein. It's just that the first two times seemed to be insane, but now, it's in a sober state.
"Semel..." The old magician's voice suddenly softened, and there seemed to be something called "tenderness" in his eyes, and he whispered: "I don't know what happened to you, but I believe, I can figure it out, let me help you recover your memory, okay?"
"No!" Semel changed color suddenly, and shouted: "I don't want to restore any memory! I am not the astrologer Semel you said! I am me, I am a magical creature! Old guy! Don't bother me !"
After speaking, Semel waved his hand, and disappeared with a whoosh.
Du Wei and the others fell into silence, all with strange expressions.
Only Gargamel, who was in Du Wei's arms, suddenly managed to get a mouse's head out, squinted his eyes in the cold wind, and asked curiously: "What did you just say? Who did you talk to just now? What Semel? What do I think?" not see?"
But it seems that no one will pay attention to the curiosity of the mouse prime minister. Du Wei stuffed it into his coat casually, then turned to look at the old magician, his eyes flickered: "I said, how many things do you still not tell us? Old guy?"
"When you know it, I will let you know." The old magician's expression was a little gloomy, and there was even some pain in his eyes.
"So, what about Semel? She is now connected to my spiritual power! I don't care if she is the real Semel or a magical creature, I think I need to know something about her. "
"Okay." The old magician thought for a moment.
His expression was a bit haggard, and the pain in his eyes became more and more intense. He sat down slowly, sitting on the spider's back. At this moment, he seemed to be ten years older.
"Semel..." the old magician said in a deep voice, "I knew her a long time ago... well, more than two hundred years ago. At that time, she was still a famous female astrologer in the mainland. "
"Then what?"
The old magician laughed suddenly, his laughter went from low to loud, and he looked at Du Wei with a strange look in his eyes: "Boy, you are such a smart person, didn't you guess it?"
He patted his mage's robe lightly, and said with a sneer, "Semel, who was originally a pure master of astrology, didn't know the slightest bit of magic...but suddenly he was able to comprehend a set of magical star magic by himself! Could it be, Don’t you think it’s strange? Huh, you’ve learned a little bit of Starry Sky Dou Qi now, don’t you think it’s strange when you hear the name Star Magic? Don’t you even have any associations?”
"Because I thought of it, I need to ask you for confirmation." Du Wei said coldly.
"Sammel... She was such a simple woman back then, a genius who was obsessed with astrology, a female scholar who wanted to speak a lot about astrology. And then she suddenly realized the star magic... Actually..." Old Magic The teacher pointed to his nose: "Actually, the truth is very simple! She is the same as me, and she is also a descendant of Aragon! We were supposed to be companions, but later... turned against each other!"
