1194, Keygate
The Wizarding Realm was not the hardest hit by the cataclysm, only affected by the sudden cold, but without radiation and explosions.
At that time, Ren He could completely hang Russell up and fight, so even if the catastrophe came, as long as this knight stayed in the area where the wizarding kingdom was located, he would definitely be able to survive.
But Ren He's choice is different, as he himself said, he has his responsibilities.
So on the eve of the catastrophe, that is, on the eve of the outbreak of the global war, he chose to return to his hometown, and then took the group of people around him to find another way to live.
He succeeded, but it was bought with his life.
"What did he leave behind at Russell's house?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"A sealed box with no code," Natsu replied, "hidden in the Rose Monastery of Ghent City." ”
"Rose Monastery?" Ren Xiaosu wondered.
"Well, it used to be the property of the Russell family, and then after the persecution of the ancestors, it was expropriated by the city of Root and a monastery was built," Natsu responded.
The so-called abbey is actually a chapel-like place, which is basically filled with statues of Norman or Tudor wizards.
Because the city of Ghent is so big, it is several times larger than the city of Vaduz.
At the beginning of each month, people don their red robes and go to the monastery near their homes, where a young wizard will preside over the ceremony.
It has to be said that the place of harm was built into a monastery, which has to be said to be a very ironic thing.
Ren Xiaosu asked, "When can I go and pick it up?"
"When the underground matter is over, I'll accompany you on a trip," Xiao Xia said, "But can I ask you one thing before then?"
Ren Xiaosu asked, "What's the matter?"
At this time, Xiao Xia glanced at Xiao Mei, and then said to Ren Xiaosu: "Can you take him out of Ghent City?" As a reward, I am willing to give me a golden Eye of True Vision, as well as the manuscript of my ancestor who wrote the general outline of witchcraft, which contains a large number of recorded witchcraft, as well as meditation diagrams, all of which are high-level witchcraft. ”
At this time, Xiaomei was bored standing next to him for a long time, and when Xiaosu chatted with his sweetheart, he was like air......
But what these two people in front of him said was really serious, and it was a serious matter that he couldn't interject.
Xiaomei also wanted to join the chat, but she really didn't know what to say.
Saying that he doesn't want to leave Xiao Xia seems to be too hypocritical for a big man like him.
Saying that with Ren Xiaosu covering him, he will be fine, so he doesn't have to leave Ghent City? It seems that the social atmosphere is too heavy......
Comrade Xiaomei heard that Xiao Xia wanted to drive him away again, so he hurriedly twisted around and gave Ren Xiaosu a look, hoping that Ren Xiaosu could help him.
Ren Xiaosu said understandingly: "Are you in a hurry to go to the toilet?"
"I don't go to the toilet," said Mego angrily, "I won't leave Ghent City!"
"Isn't it over if you say it directly," Ren Xiaosu glanced at him: "Others let you go, you don't even dare to say a word to refute it, what will you do in the future?" Don't worry, I won't take you back to the south, you're here, you have to make some movement." ”
Xiao Xia frowned: "The Golden True Eye is the highest price I can give." ”
"The important thing is not what you can give, but what I want to do," Ren Xiaosu said: "Do you really think that group of gentlemen are really doing things with you? ”
"Naturally, I don't plan to rely on them completely," Xiao Xia said calmly, "Now I just let the Tudor family pay for the blood debt, and as for the overthrow of the old aristocratic rule, there is still a long way to go." ”
This next Ren Xiaosu understands that this Xiaoxia is not a person who is in a hurry, and the other party is planning to come little by little.
Xiao Xia continued, "I don't know why you brought Mego to Root City, but do you know that by doing so, you will put him in danger?"
"Before that, Mego told me that his sweetheart was very assertive, but no one told me that you were Russell's descendant, and you were so assertive," Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and said, "But I'm curious, since you are so worried about him, why didn't you send someone to protect him when he was sent to Biansai?"
"Of course, I asked the people of the Templar to protect him, that is, it was later found that he was not in much danger, and the Templars withdrew," Xiao Xia said: "Not only that, but later, in order to prevent him from starving to death, there were special gladiators who secretly sent him food, clothing, and medicine on a regular basis. ”
Mego exclaimed, "Didn't I pay for that?"
Xiao Xia glanced at Xiao Mei: "The money you gave is not enough at all, no one will run to that dangerous place again and again for that little gold coin." ”
"I see," Ren Xiaosu nodded.
Finally solved the case, Ren Xiaosu had thought about this matter before, Xiaomei, a wizard who was not diligent, was sent to the 178 fortress to investigate, and this thing's ability to survive in the wilderness didn't even reach the passing line, how did he survive these two years?
The co-author is also the back hand of Xiao Xia's arrangement.
I have to say that this girl is really methodical in doing things, and she is a person who does big things.
And Xiaomei's soft rice is really thorough.
Thinking about it, Ren Xiaosu is planning to support this Xiao Xia to be the person in charge of the Daxing Northwest Branch, and the other party looks more suitable than Xiaomei in all aspects......
Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled: "Why are you so good to him?"
Xiao Xia said: "He is too simple, if no one protects him, he will be injured." ”
Ren Xiaosu was immediately shocked, what kind of love is this, this is simply mother's love!
But no matter what it is, it's always a matter of two people.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Xiaomei: "Do you understand, what she said before that she didn't want you to be involved, it was purely because she was afraid that she would affect you, and you should also fight for some anger, don't keep worrying about people, do you know what to do?"
Xiaomei nodded vigorously: "Got it!"
"Then what are you going to do?" asked Ren Xiaosu.
"Follow you honestly, with your protection, she won't have to worry," Xiaomei said.
Ren Xiaosu: "???"
Ren Xiaosu laughed angrily, but if you think about it carefully, Xiaomei's decision is the wisest!
Now let Xiaomei practice witchcraft, he won't be able to become a great wizard in ten or eight years, so if his own efforts are useless, then just pick up his self-knowledge and don't make trouble for everyone.
With Ren Xiaosu's protection, there are really few people in this huge Ghent City who can do anything to him.
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu doesn't know if this Comrade Xiaomei is really stupid or fake......
Ren Xiaosu said to Xiao Xia: "Don't worry, Xiaomei won't have a problem with my protection." I don't have to ask you what your plans are, you don't have to ask me what my plans are, I will start to act after I take what Ren He left behind, and all you need to do at that time is to wait for the opportunity. ”
"What chance?" Xiao Xia wondered.
"The opportunity I created for you," Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "I also said this to Chen Jingshu once, I came from Middle Earth, and this is your best chance to overthrow the rule of the old nobility of the wizard." ”
Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Mei in surprise when she heard this, and Xiao Mei sighed: "It's good to get used to it, and I can't refute it." ”
Xiao Xia looked at Ren Xiaosu in front of her, although she didn't know where Ren Xiaosu got her confidence, but she didn't know why she chose to believe it from the bottom of her heart.
Suddenly, she remembered what her grandfather had said to her on his deathbed: "If one day someone in Middle-earth comes to look for clues to the knights, then you can ask them to help you solve any problems." ”
"It was a magical country, and that knight was the most amazing man in that country. ”
At that time, Xiao Xia was still Xiao Xiao Xia, and she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, she often wondered, can that knight really make the entire Russell family so trusted?
Miss Xiaoxia suddenly said: "My grandfather told me that when the knight took away the True Eye, he promised that when the Russell family needed it, he could do something for the Russell family as compensation. If he is no longer there at that time, it will be done by his descendants. You're his descendant, so can I trust you?"
Ren Xiaosu thought about it, since Ren He took the Eye of True Vision to save him, then because of the promise generated by the Eye of True Vision, he was naturally willing to complete it for the other party: "Yes, what do you want me to do? Destroy the Tudor family?"
"No," Xiao Xia shook her head, "Protect Xiaomei, is it okay?"
"Yes, but this matter doesn't count, this is the promise I promised Xiaomei, and I will naturally do it. Ren Xiaosu smiled: "Okay, you can keep this opportunity for now, and talk about it when you need it." Let's talk again, I'll go in and have a good chat with those wizard friends. ”
With that, Ren Xiaosu stepped into the door of the key.
Xiaomei suddenly felt that what Ren Xiaosu said about having a good chat with wizard friends was not so simple......
At this time, there was no one else in the corridor, Xiaomei slowly walked towards Xiaoxia, and the oriental dragon painted on the wall was quiet, as if she couldn't bear to disturb them.
On the other side, Ren Xiaosu looked at the scene behind the Key Gate and was a little stunned, because this place was no longer underground, but on top of a tall gray blue brick spire.
Beyond the minaret is the cliff, and below the cliff is the rough sea.
The blue water laps against the reef and sets off white waves, and the sparkling sea is seen in the distance.
The endless sea made Ren Xiaosu's heart infinitely magnificent in an instant, and then it was infinitely calm.
This is the sea that Li Shentan wants to take a look at, and I don't know if he sees it now.
Ren Xiaosu turned his head, and the others had already entered the spire along the stairs of the spire, leaving only Xu Anqing waiting here.
The other party smiled and said, "Is it the first time you have seen the sea?"
"It shouldn't be the first time," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile: "There is always an inexplicable sense of familiarity when I see the sea, but I should have forgotten what I saw in the past." ”
"This is the key door opened by An An's father," Xu Anqing said, "Every time he comes back here, he will come to the top of the wizard tower and sit alone, sometimes it will be a day and a night. I asked him why he looked at the sea, and I thought he would say that looking at the sea makes people feel broad, but he replied that people who have seen the sea will be in awe. ”
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly felt that this sentence was very interesting, people are indeed too small in front of the magnificent heaven, earth and ocean.
At this time, Xu Anqing asked, "I don't know how you feel when you look at the sea?"
"Tranquility," Ren Xiaosu replied: "By the way, you said that this key door was opened by An An's father, specifically emphasizing this, is the key door opened by everyone different?"
"The Key Gate was the exclusive witchcraft of the Russell family before the catastrophe, and later Russell made this witchcraft public as an example in order to show his determination to break the family barrier," Xu Anqing explained: "However, this key door has a characteristic, a person can only open it once in his life, and after opening it, it will always be fixed in one place." ”
"What if the person who opened the door to this key died?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously.
"The Key Gate will not disappear with it," Xu Anqing said, "There is only one way to destroy the Key Gate: to completely change the terrain of the place where the key is located, such as destroying the wall we just entered. ”
Ren Xiaosu frowned: "Then this is too dangerous, in case someone destroys the wall outside, won't we all be trapped here?"
Xu Anqing suddenly discovered that the young man opposite was cautious by nature.
After others pass through the Key Gate, they are immediately attracted by the magic of this witchcraft, and the other party's first concern is how to go back!
"Don't worry," Xu Anqing explained with a smile: "If someone destroys it from the outside, then all of us who pass through the Key Gate will 'fall' out, so there is no situation where we can't go home." ”
"Where is this?" asked Ren Xiaosu.
"We're not sure where this is, but after it was opened, it became our secret base," Xu Anqing shook his head and said, "I only know that the place where the key door is opened must be in the same time and space as us." ”
"Is there any pattern for this key door to open?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously.
"Probably the place that a person's heart wants to go to the most?" Xu Anqing said: "There was once a friend who was often worried about frequent urination, so after he opened the door of the key, the back of the door turned out to be the toilet of his house......"
"What is this," Ren Xiaosu couldn't cry or laugh: "I really want to go the most, where is the door open?"
"There is a high probability that this is the case, but there is also a strong randomness," Xu Anqing said meaningfully.
"What does this randomness mean?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously.
"Everyone doesn't necessarily know where they want to go in the depths of their hearts. ”
Ren Xiaosu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and I have to say that there is still a hint of philosophy in these words......
He then asked, "Is there any flaw in the Keygate?"
"Of course there is," Xu Anqing said: "The key door is fixed, if you want to reach the 'other side' through it, you have to go to a fixed place, and sometimes it is quite troublesome." Just like Chen An'an's father wants to come to the beach, then he must go back to the underground of Ghent City. ”
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly took out a big iron door from the storage space and asked, "Then I will open this door directly, and then carry it with me, can I carry the key door with me?"
Xu Anqing stood in the sea breeze at the tip of the wizard tower and was a little messy: "It should be ...... Is that okay?"
He looked at Ren Xiaosu's serious face and suddenly felt a little powerless, it stands to reason that the key door should be able to be carried with him by this means, but the problem is, why do you carry an iron door with you?
Where did you get this from?!
