Like most other heterogeneous shelters, the territory of the Ancattero family is hidden in strange space cracks, and it uses mysterious technology to camouflage and deflect layers of layers, and as the most mysterious of all heterogeneous families, Ancatero The collar is even more secretive than the Shadow Sanctuary, and the way to open it is only in the hands of a few ancient families like Wayne. After the incident a month ago, the Ancatero Secret Realm was completely sealed by the people inside, and the usual means of opening it also became useless. Wayne Walter had to prepare some special things to help open this way. The gate, and in order to open this gate, they have to go to a special place: it is actually located underground.
Wayne Walter had come to this small town at the foot of the mountain more than once to visit the Ancatero family, and he knew all the secret routes here. Led by the vampire patriarch, Hao Ren and the others got into the underground waterway of the town.
This seemingly inconspicuous town has an unexpected underground waterway. The wide sewers are connected to the underground part of the town like a maze. Obviously, such a small town does not need drainage facilities of this scale, so the size of the sewers Some areas are blocked or semi-dry. Hao Ren followed Wayne and Hesperis in a wide tunnel like a subway tunnel. He saw round pipes supported by permanent concrete and a large steel inner shell around them. There are dim lights on both sides, and the center of the sewer is a waterway that has almost dried up. On the guardrails on both sides of the waterway, dark green moss has seriously eroded the steel and concrete structures. Judging from the surrounding lights, there are still people maintaining it from time to time, and the builders of this place must be humans, but why does such a small town build a sewer of this scale
"This place used to be a battlefield many years ago. It was an important military site. It happened during World War II," Wayne explained casually after hearing Hao Ren's question. "These underground facilities were originally tunnels and warehouses. Therefore, they were built extremely strong, and the locals did not abandon these things after the war. Instead, they were reinforced and rebuilt as sewers."
Lily wrinkled her nose and followed Hao Ren. These sewers have perfect ventilation facilities and only a small part of them are used, so they don't have much smell. However, as a canine, Lily is still a little allergic to the smell here: "Speaking of which, I didn't expect to drill the sewer... How did the Ancatero family choose this kind of entrance? How did they get in and out before this town was built?"
"Of course there are other entrances and exits, but I chose the safest one this time," Wayne nodded lightly. "The entrance to the underground waterway was settled decades ago. The entrance and exit of the Ancatro Secret Realm It corresponds to the position of the stars in the sky, so it will change every once in a while. And each time, there are four channels connected to the outside world at the same time. In this reincarnation of the stars, there is exactly one channel that corresponds to a human town. It’s also impossible.”
Lily groaned, feeling that this is quite miraculous: the entrance to the secret realm that changes constantly with the position of the stars, it really sounds like a fairy tale. Hao Ren, who was next to him, had an inexplicable question: "Although it sounds safe, what if the door of the house happens to correspond to the septic tank when the stars rotate?"
Wayne was walking ahead in a decent manner, but Hao Ren's words almost made him fall into the ditch by the side of the road: "Why are your thoughts so dirty?!"
Hao Ren scratched his face: "My thinking is quite normal, isn't it true that no one has ever thought of it this way?"
Wayne was speechless, but Hesperis spoke, "Hao Ren. If you meet the Batanian witch spirit family in West Africa in the future, don't talk to them about this topic."
"ah?"
"The exit of their family's secret realm also changes with the movement of the stars, and it was really connected to the septic tank..."
This time it was everyone's turn to be speechless, until Elizabeth folded her arms and sighed like a little adult: "So this kind of lost and out-of-control ancient technology is the most unreliable. At the beginning, I thought about safety, but now People in the future don't even know how to control the direction. Go blind!"
"Ahem, it's not completely uncontrollable," Wayne explained with a weird face, even a little incoherent, "Choose a rough connection range, you can fix the door opening position at a relatively stable place, or calibrate the astrologer... Forget it , let's not talk about this, shall we?"
"Then let's talk about the witcher?" Vivienne blinked, "Wayne. You investigated early. What do you think about the disappearance of the witcher here a month ago?"
Wayne pondered slightly: "To be honest, I can't believe even a single punctuation mark in what the witcher said, but if what the witcher named White Fire said is true, it is the information I can grasp Roughly corresponding. There was indeed a large number of demon hunter groups here a month ago, and the number was enough to make the werewolf fighters of the Hogwarf family run away, so it should not be the same as the few demon hunters who are currently investigating here. The same batch. And according to the fragmented report of that crazy investigator, he did mention that there are witchers or something in the territory of Ancatero."
Hao Ren hummed, but didn't say anything else.
This dark and cramped underground waterway is really not a good place to discuss things, and everyone in the team soon lost interest in discussing issues. They followed Wayne in silence, and finally entered a place that seemed to have been abandoned for many years after bypassing the pipe joints. There is no underground water flow in this passage at all, and the only light comes from a fork tens of meters away.
Wayne finally led the group to a stop in front of a mottled and dirty concrete wall: this is where the entrance is.
"The spirit detective before could never find the Golden Manor in his entire life," Hao Ren couldn't help muttering after seeing the entrance, "Its entrance is actually this kind of place, it has nothing to do with sunlight at all."
Wayne smiled: "The scene on the other side of this door will surprise you even more."
While talking, he took out an exquisite thing from his small suitcase.
It was a weird contraption like an old video camera, but with a distinctly different structure. It has a square body wrapped in black leather. At the front of this "square box" is a hemispherical lens, while a series of lenses and crystals can be seen at the back of the "box". I can't help but think of the unreliable "psychic machines" made by those nagging mystic scholars more than a hundred years ago, those supernatural cameras assembled with glass, crystal, and copper ore to try to capture ghosts, It also reminded Hao Ren of the psychic lens set in Pierre's hand. But the device in Wayne's hands is obviously different from those knockoffs with half a bucket of water. This device is inlaid with gleaming runes, and each of its lenses and crystals are not connected by any fixed objects, but are suspended by magic power. in their respective positions. When Wayne aimed the device at the wall in front of him, all the lenses shone slightly.
The light of the lens group gradually increased, and the front of the device shot light like a slide, just like a projection, and these light gradually outlined a series of complex lines on the concrete wall. The image slowly changed, and Hao Ren finally saw the shape of a door.
And the most amazing thing is: the door was indeed a simple image at the beginning, but as the device in Wayne's hand continued to creak and run, the feeling of those images gradually changed, Hao Ren didn't know He missed a step, but when he realized it, the image on the wall had turned into a real door.
A door cast in metal, inlaid with a large number of golden runes.
Wayne turned off the device, put it carefully into the suitcase, and stepped forward to push the door open: "Let's go, this door can only last for ten minutes. If it goes well, we can set it up through the Ancatro family." The fixed channel to return to this side of the world."
Lily let out a long exclamation, then pushed Hao Ren and ran into the gate.
A burst of moist and warm air rushed towards Hao Ren's face. Hao Ren obviously felt that he had passed through a barrier like a water curtain. He walked out of a door standing in the air and found himself standing in a strange place. .
The boundless chaotic dense fog shrouded the surroundings, and no sun, moon, and stars could be seen in this space. The light of unknown origin shone down from above the dense fog, so that the world would not be completely dark. Hao Ren's eyes widened, trying to distinguish the surrounding scenery in the dense fog. He got his wish to see the scene of the Golden Manor: Although blocked by the thick fog, he still saw a series of resplendent and magnificent buildings dimly appearing in the field of vision. The building is indeed as Pierre described, it is almost entirely made of pure gold, even if it is shrouded in thick fog, its brilliance has not been diminished.
However, what Hao Ren and his party were shocked after seeing these buildings was something else.
"Tanagus?!" (To be continued~^~)
