Chapter 46: The Land of Dreams: The Gate of All Souls
The second floor of the palace is divided into two areas, left and right, which are connected by an internal corridor in the middle, and the specific situation in the corridor is not visible in the hall.
Lai Jinyi jumped to the right first, where he saw many strange objects on the stone countertop, such as a trap with a half-hairy leg, an engine full of tentacles, specimens of various alien monsters, and alien firearms made of red animal hair that he noticed when he first entered the palace, and alien firearms with the barrel of the gun blocked by unknown plants......
He had the courage to touch each of the objects, not feeling the slightest spiritual or magical energy.
This, this is simply a collection room of memories for a strange hunting enthusiast!
Li Jinyi sighed lightly and stepped into the inner corridor, intending to take a look at the area on the left.
Inside the corridor are walls carved with abstract patterns, and on the outside are neatly arranged colorful floor-to-ceiling windows, which are shrouded in golden auspicious clouds.
At the end of the floor-to-ceiling window appeared a brass-colored metal door, located on the outside of the middle of the hallway, and Lai, guessing that it should be a staircase leading to the higher floors, stepped forward cautiously and pushed.
The door was not moving, it seemed to be locked from the inside, and there was some kind of high-level magic seal attached to the door, and at present, it was almost impossible to break it violently.
Based on this, Li Jinyi suddenly had a bad association.
He summoned me here and guided me to do things that should have been done by him, and he took the opportunity to be lazy, and I became a free tool?!
However, since you can summon me over, you can definitely summon those leaders directly to the interview, and you can do it in one step, wouldn't it be easier?
So, it wasn't someone else who summoned me, I came by myself?tsk, not necessarily, I remember seeing a figure surrounded by auspicious clouds in my first dream. But that time it was just a dream, and I didn't really come here. My head is dizzy.
"It seems that paranoia is contagious. He laughed to himself and decided not to think about it for a while.
After all, time was limited, and he continued to walk towards the left area.
Entering the left area on the second floor, the first thing that catches your eye is the old book framed by fangs, Li Jinyi first came to this palace when he paid attention to this book, and at that time he thought this book was a little weird, but now, after experiencing the baptism of many waste products in the right area, in the face of this strange shape of the ancient book, his heart has no waves.
This may be a hunting textbook or a guide to farming and animal husbandry for some primitive tribe, he thought, raising his hand to the cover of the book.
The moment his fingertips touched the pages of the book, he felt that the book contained a mysterious spell in an unknown era and an unknown realm, and he subconsciously trembled because of this.
Wow! Finally found the baby? Li Jinyi cheered twice in his heart.
He took the ancient book out of the frame, and gently opened the pages made of tough animal skin, and the contents of the first page made him speechless.
It's not because the content is too esoteric or superficial, but because he can't understand any of the words on it.
Finally found a magic item, but this is the result? Li Jinyi resisted the urge to scratch his head and put the ancient book back in its place.
For the next ten minutes, he looked at the rest of the collection on the left.
"Sure enough, like gathers like each other, and in this palace, except for me and the disc, I'm afraid everything else is waste. Li Jinyi pursed his lips wistfully.
Inadvertently, he walked back to the ancient book. Taking down the book again, he did a quick look through it from beginning to end, and indeed did not recognize a word.
"It's one way to bring it back to Earth and ask for a teacher, but if it's a cult, I can't even wash it away by jumping into the Pacific Ocean. Alas, it would be nice to have a translation machine. ”
Li Jinyi touched his chin, his gaze involuntarily stayed on the disc in the center of the hall, and then, his tiger body shook, and he slapped his forehead and said:
"Damn, I'm stupid, isn't there only one here!"
He quickly jumped back in front of the disc, swiped the camera to a secluded and uninhabited corner, and said to the disc with an attitude of trying:
"Please move the screen to the palace I'm in. ”
As soon as the words fell, the light and shadow changed suddenly, and in an instant, the image of a palace hall with pale blue floor tiles, colorful reliefs, spiral energy staircases, and numerous collections appeared on the disk.
"It's really possible! Why didn't I think of it before!" Li Jinyi looked at himself who was also excited in the image with an excited face.
Maybe you can see the Earth again!!!
"Please move the screen to Earth. ”
Ripples suddenly rippled within the disk, ripples opened and subsided, and a blue planet with dark purple lumps appeared in front of him.
"Oh!!" Li Jinyi couldn't help but dance, and he was a little carried away with joy, and subconsciously shouted at the disc, "Move the picture to Yin Yuyao, the guardian god of the earth." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head, touched his chin, and reflected on himself.
What did I just think, why should I look at her? Shouldn't I go to scout the enemy situation in the Void Shroud first? Hmm, but there's nothing wrong with knowing the combat situation of the Star Brokers.
Thinking about it, there was a sudden murmuring of water overhead, and the soft moan of the girl.
What is she doing? She's in such a good mood and still singing. Li Jinyi stopped pondering and looked up curiously.
In the mist, a beautiful girl was lying in a bathtub filled with water, her black hair coiled behind her head, humming a song, and applying shower gel to the slender white jade legs that rose out of the water.
Well?
Well!!!
Li Jinyi's face turned red instantly, and he didn't dare to make a sound, so he swept away the camera with the fastest hand speed in his life.
He almost suffocated to death from the picture just now, but it took a while for him to recover.
"Whew, let's go and scout the enemy. ”
He let out a long breath, and his face returned to calm.
He dragged the camera to a void light curtain, and continued to zoom in, and the moment the image entered the void shroud, suddenly, the light and shadow in the disc went out without warning, leaving only pitch black.
Why is it a strike? Li Jinyi was a little surprised, and lowered his head to check the hourglass.
No, the sand has not yet fully flowed into the lower end, could it be that the shroud area has shielded the disc?" he muttered to himself.
He pulled the camera back, and the image in front of the Void Light Curtain reappeared in the disc, and when he zoomed in, the image fell into darkness again.
Tried other Void Shrouds around the world, and without exception, this result appeared.
"I'll go, this Void Engine is quite capable, and it really shields all the discs. Li Jinyi frowned slightly, slightly disappointed.
"But it's a surprise to see the Earth, and I just wanted to translate ancient books. I almost forgot about it!"
"Please return the picture to this kind of palace. He immediately said to the disc.
The image inside the disc dissipates and reconstructs, and the palace reappears.
Li Jinyi quickly zoomed in the camera, adjusted, and zoomed in until the book in his hand was clearly displayed in the center of the disc.
"The Gate of All Souls?" the disc's translation function came into play, and he read several alien characters on the cover of the ancient book on the disc, thoughtful.
Is it a summoning spell? He wondered in his heart.
Opening the cover, the title page contains three prefaces similar to warnings, the first of which reads:
Odd-page spells are safer, even-page spells are dangerous, and if you don't master an adjacent odd-page spell, don't try even-page spells between the two, otherwise it will have unpredictable consequences.
What will be the unpredictable consequences? Well, it's definitely not a good thing anyway, so I'd better not touch the even-numbered pages yet, Li Jinyi thought to himself.
The second paragraph of the title page reads:
All spells in the book are reset for one day, and when you cast the spells described in this book, you need to take the book with you and turn to the specified number of pages to chant the spell, otherwise the spell will be invalid.
"It means you have to have one hand free to hold a book during a fight, and there's a day's worth of cooldowns, which is a bit rubbish. Li Jinyi couldn't help but complain.
The third paragraph reads:
Summon materials only need to be prepared once, and subsequent summons will no longer consume materials.
"Well, it's pretty human. He nodded and smiled.
This is the end of this page, and Li Jinyi turns the title page to the main text.
The first page of the text reads:
Spell Name: Poison Jaw Swarm
Notes: Summons a swarm of jawworms from Mantatis in the Netherworld, which will last for up to 3 hours before returning to the Netherland. The number of swarms is determined by the summoner's strength and proficiency. Note that the biter will attack all living creatures in sight, including summoners.
Materials Required: None
Incantation: Verbally express the following meaning in any language: "King of Mantades, Lord of the Feverish Swarm, God of Infinite Division!
Li Jinyi finished reading this page with a puzzled and tangled expression, and turned his head sideways and said to himself:
"Is the page number of this book wrong?The title page should be recorded as the first page, otherwise it doesn't make sense, this first spell is so dangerous, and it will attack the summoner, which does not match the odd page described on the title page as 'safer'!"
He flipped to the next page, intending to make a comparison.
The second page reads:
Spell Name: Thunder Dragon.
Seeing this, he immediately turned back to the first page.
"That's right. He muttered, remembering the otherworldly dragon in the castle that had made him hold his head and run around in the morning.
The poisonous jaw swarm will attack the summoner, how to practice this spell?
Li Jinyi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, looking at the hourglass that was about to run out, and suddenly came up with an idea.
"I can summon those bugs in my last moments before I leave the Land of Dreams, and they won't chase me to Earth. The poisonous insect is only around for three hours, and it will definitely disappear before my next arrival here, and it will not pose a threat to me. Besides, since those insects are poisonous, it means that their strength and size are not too large, and they should not cause much damage to the building. Well, that's it!"
As he spoke, he saw the timing and pronounced the incantation about ten seconds before the last grain of sand fell:
"King of Mantades, Lord of the Zeatic Swarm, God of Infinite Split!
Not far overhead, a crack several meters long suddenly tore through the space, and a palm-sized, giant jaw blue flying insect surged out of the crack, and after hovering for a few seconds, they found the only humanoid living creature present, and immediately turned around, attacking it as prey. The thin wings pierced the air, screeching.
The humanoid creature let out an exclamation and jumped down the circular staircase it had been in, and the jawworms swooped down in pursuit with their superb flying skills.
However, at the moment when the jawworms were about to bite their prey, the humanoid prey disappeared without a trace.
