Chapter 82 Strange Palace
According to this rat prime minister, when Queen Medusa was sleeping, in this so-called "Evil Eye Kingdom", this prime minister was the first leader...
With such a hostage, or rather a coerced companion. The three of Du Wei plus a rat-shaped figure headed towards Queen Medusa's palace together.
Along the way, all the mice saw these people and turned around and ran, which deeply confirmed the famous saying "holding the head of the mouse". In a big mess before, the prime minister was caught, but it is a pity that these rats did not have the slightest courage to retake the leader ... It seems that from ancient times to the present, describing the timid as "rat gall" is indeed very worthy of the name.
Of course, this animal kingdom is not only about mice, but also some crows, spies that Gegewitch made with a little magic, and these flat-haired beasts will only hover in the air and croak, "Outsiders!" Outsiders", and then these noisy voices annoyed Hussein, and a sword fighting spirit shot up, shooting seven or eight and then dispersing.
Gegewu looked at it in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh with pain: "Alas, this knight, don't you know how much effort and experiments I have spent to train these crows to keep the sentry and teach them to speak..."
Du Wei couldn't help but be a little curious: "How did you teach these crows to speak?"
Gegewitch smiled: "I am proficient in transfiguration, naturally I have the deepest understanding of living things, and I have spent the first half of my life studying animals." Don't say it's a crow, even if it's a horse..."
"I remember telling you that if I heard you lie again, I would cut off your mouse head." Hussein coldly interrupted the self-boasting of the rat prime minister, and the knight said lightly: "Do you think I can't see through?" The crows can't speak at all, but you have modified their voices with magic. Crows are not intelligent, but they have at least the instinct of animals, can distinguish between the known and the unrecognized, and will bark when they encounter outsiders. You magically modified their sounds, and these crows aren't speaking human at all, but their calls have been altered by you to pronounce 'outsiders'. Du Wei, if you don't believe me, you can let this rat order those crows to say something else, and if those crows can't say it, I will immediately cut off its mouse head!"
As soon as
these words came out, Gegewitch obediently closed his mouth. Du Wei snickered in his heart, but he was also quite interested in Gegewitch's whimsy. It turned out that it was just a magical modification of the crow's vocal cords and tongue. Just think of the world of Du Wei's previous life, those parrot keepers, in order to make the parrot can speak, will use a paraphernalia to flatten the parrot's tongue when it is young. Although the practices are different, the general principle is the same.
Du Wei thought for a while and said with a smile: "Gegewu, in fact, I understand your thoughts. You were originally a human, but now you have become an animal, and the most troublesome thing in your heart is to be seen as an animal that can speak human language, as a monster, so although you live in this uninhabited place, you can't help but want to make the animals around you speak human language, so that it seems that you are not alone, right? Gegewu
listened to this, although he didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but show a little moved gaze in his eyes when he looked at Du Wei.
Inside the gorge, there are two walls that have already been built. This wall is tall and majestic, and it looks extraordinary! Although it is simply stacked with some large stones, it looks a little crude, but the victory is high enough and big!
"We have a lot of strong slaves. There are many tree people in the canyon, all petrified by Queen Medusa. Hit Medusa's petrification, not only will she turn into stone, but if she wants, she can bring you alive, but she will become a stone slave, without her own consciousness, purely obeying her orders The Walking Dead. After Gegewu finished speaking, he couldn't help but shiver: "This is the most terrible, even if you die, you can't get rest."
Du Wei sighed: "This should also be regarded as one of Queen Medusa's terrifying magical abilities, right?" If she wants, just look at some people or Warcraft and form a stone legion.
"I never doubted that. If she wants, she can turn the entire Warcraft of the Frozen Forest into stone slaves. Gegewitch sighed.
Du Wei suddenly asked again: "Why has such a powerful Queen Medusa been living in seclusion in such a canyon?" The frozen forest is so big, but her territory has always only been such a small canyon?
Du Wei began to think, but then, walking up a ramp and turning a corner, they finally saw Queen Medusa's palace!
The palace is as high as a hillside on both sides, and the main building is actually not stone, but wood! Du Wei immediately recalled the words of Old Wood, the leader of the Tree Terrans outside, that the palace was built from the bodies of several real Tree Terrans. Remembering the tone of gritted teeth in anger when the loyal and docile old wood mentioned this matter, Du Wei couldn't help sighing.
Gegewitch stopped and hesitated: "Do you really want to go in?" The Rat Prime Minister couldn't help but roll his eyes and look around, as if he was ready to find an opportunity to escape at any time.
"Yes." Hussein gave it a grim look: "You too."
Gegewitch groaned and begged, "You guys go in and find Queen Medusa, although it's good to go in, this palace is not big anyway." Why do you have to take me with you? If Medusa is angry, I will be punished! I provoked her once, and that time she turned me into stone for a month!
"Do you think she will have a chance to punish you later?" Du Wei frowned: "Did you decide that after a few of us entered, we would definitely be killed by her?"
Although
Gegewitch didn't say it, the expression on his face was clearly like this. However, it quickly saw the anger on the knight's face, and quickly said, "I haven't seen a human in many years." I don't want you to die in vain. It's better for you to leave now, anyway, she never leaves the palace, and everything outside has always been my decision, I don't say, just when you haven't come, isn't it good? If you come for that fountain of immortality, I can tell you that that ghost thing is of no use at all. Look at me, I drank a lot of that ghost spring water, but what benefits did I get?
"We're not for the spring." Du Wei said lightly: "We want Medusa's eyes... Wasn't she a golden-eyed python before?
"God..." Gegewitch groaned again, but this time looking at Du Wei's eyes, it was almost as if he were looking at three neurotic and dead people.
No matter how the rat prime minister refused, Hussein brought it up anyway and forced it to take it. Du Wei and Dardanelle both wore "sunglasses", and the originally proud Hussein, although his face was very cold, but he was also a smart person after all, and he would not be without fear of Medusa's strength, and also wore a pair of "sunglasses".
Pushed open the tall palace gate in front of him, and immediately a yin wind blew out of the door, and the cold air was intimidating. The three of them walked into the hall, and in this yin wind, on the walls around the hall, a row of gems immediately emitted light, illuminating the hall.
In the spacious hall, the most eye-catching thing is a giant statue in front of it. The main body of the statue is a beautiful woman, with curly long hair, although it is only a stone sculpture, but the appearance of this woman is very clear, charming eyebrows, pointed chin, very hooky, but the expression is too cold, charming, more than three points of yin. Her body was almost completely naked, but there were several large snakes coiled over her body, covering several key parts. Those big snakes were even more lifelike, spitting letters with their heads held high, revealing sharp fangs.
Beauty and vipers, this statue obviously carries a bit of mysterious temptation and danger. Du Wei glanced at it, then turned back to the mouse prime minister and smiled: "This must be your masterpiece, right?" Can't Medusa carve herself? I can't see that you have a good craft of carving.
Gegewu smiled bitterly: "I have been facing stones in this canyon for twenty years, even if I don't know anything, twenty years is enough time for me to learn a lot of things." Bypass
thisThe stone carving of the hall, behind is a door, after pushing the door, I saw a straight passage plunged in, Du Wei stood at the door and glanced, and immediately frowned: "Well, this is a magic array." Gegewitch, that's what you taught her, right? Looking
inside from this doorway, this passage is almost bottomless, and it seems to be endless in the distance... But how can a palace be that big? Apparently it was enchanted by the master, making this passage a useful defensive facility, and if someone who did not know magic walked in, it would go all the way, endlessly, and never want to go to the end.
"It's actually magic that tricks your eyes and feelings. If you just walk in, you think you've gone a long way, but in reality, you're just standing still. A small blind eye method, it is very simple to break, just close your eyes..." When Du Wei said this, he suddenly paused, showing a very thoughtful expression, and whispered meaningfully: "Yi... The most terrifying weapon of this Queen Medusa is her gaze, but this magic array she set up makes all outsiders who enter close their eyes, didn't she give up the most powerful weapon?
Or maybe you just don't want to hurt your own people by mistake, right?
Du Wei immediately gave an explanation in his heart.
Then, the three of them closed their eyes and walked into the passage. Du Wei is a strong inductive, Hussein is close to the strength level of the paladin, his sense is keen, and there is not much difference between opening and closing his eyes. And Dardanelle will naturally have no problem following the two, and Gegewitch is used to this place.
After entering the passage, this magic array really lost its effect, and in a short while, the current Hussein touched the handle of the second door, but after pushing it open, the three people opened their eyes, but they were stunned...
After the second door... It was, all black! Not a glimmer of light!!
"There are no lights in the back." Gegewitch whispered, "Unless you bring your own torches."
"It's always been like this?" Du Wei asked the rat prime minister.
After getting an affirmative answer from Gegewu, Du Wei suddenly smiled, and the smile was meaningful.
"This Queen Medusa, it's strange... If that magic array made people close their eyes, it was just a coincidence. But the arrangement was dark, as if she was afraid that others would break in by mistake and be petrified by her! Isn't she worried that hostile guys outside will break in? We, for example, seem to force us not to see her eyes. She herself voluntarily gave up one of the biggest weapons, why?
