Chapter 269: I Was Deceived Again
"Zhu Tian, what now?" Looking at the undead qi wafting from the stone gate, Pico silently took a step back. "Wait a minute, we hear something strange, and run straight out?"
The two men opened a crack in the stone door. At this time, two people were standing on both sides of the gap, one left and one right.
This time, they kept an eye on it, but opened the stone door to a gap that could allow one person to pass sideways, and it didn't open too much. In this way, even if there is a huge monster inside, it will not be able to pass through such a small gap.
Peake frowned and avoided the aura of the undead, but Zhu Tian turned a blind eye. "If you do want to run," he reminded, "be careful at the stone steps, as you descend the stone steps, the gravity will decrease little by little, and your body will get lighter and lighter." If you run too fast, you'll fly out. ”
Although it was a dream, Peake still felt pain when he fell. "Watching these undead breaths float out," Peake said, "I want to run now." ”
"Really, aren't you curious? It's a dream, aren't you friends with that skeleton on the first floor? Zhu Tian's tone was a little ridiculous, "Maybe after a while, the guy who ran out of it will become your friend." ”
"The devil knows what's inside?" said Peake. "If Emma is really here, it means that Emma is in the real world......" Peake remembered the little girl, and suddenly couldn't say any more.
"Explains that Emma is dead in the real world. Zhu Tian took over the topic and sighed slowly, "After all, this place is called the Tower of the Dead, I know." They glanced at each other, Zhu Tian was sad, and Pique was gloomy. "If I do find Emma here, then I would like to congratulate you first of all, you are free. Pique, I've decided, I'm going to stay here with her. ”
There was an instant silence in the tower. Peake watched the undead qi wafting back and forth and heard his own heartbeat. He thought of Emma's petite body, and the sound of giggles seemed to be still in his ears. So he said, "I'm curious. You said Emma saved you, what the hell did she do?"
Zhu Tian spoke: "When you were planted on the plain, you were unconscious, I was seriously injured, and the silver timber wolf slowly walked over." It was wounded, but it could easily kill both of us. I lay on the ground, and just moved, and my whole body felt like it was cracking, so Emma was standing in front of me, and she could have run on her own. ”
"How did you survive?" asked Peake.
"The Silver Timberwolf already had a wound in its stomach, and I was scratched and bitten by it, and finally," said Zhu Tian, "I plunged the dagger that Ryder gave you into its belly. At that time, I thought I was dead, but I had a belief in my heart that the old priest could save Emma. So, I came back to life and carried Emma to the old priest. ”
Pique's eyes are blue, pure and ethereal. Many times, when he sees you, you will feel very secure and will unconsciously speak your heart. Just like now, Zhu Tian continued: "Since she stood in front of me again and again, I collapsed, and I don't know where she got the courage to face the Timberwolves. If I can find her, I have a lot to say to her. ”
"Even if you know she's dead, do you want to look for her?"
Zhu Tian nodded.
Pique raised his head from under the brim of his blue hat and looked at Zhu Tian with those dark blue eyes.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a miserable white hand suddenly stretched out from the stone door!
Seeing Pique's frightened eyes, Zhu Tian obviously realized that something was wrong, he didn't look back, but quickly left the vicinity of the stone gate.
When he turned his head, he also found the hand sticking out of the stone door!
The fingers were slender and thin, and they were a patch of white flesh. At this time, the hand was on the outside of the stone door, and it was still there. A black undead aura slowly swirled around the hand.
Obviously, this is a human hand.
A human hand is not terrible, but a human hand sticking out of the stone door is terrifying.
Peake swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Zhu Tian, the anxious look in his eyes seemed to ask, "Do you want to run now?"
At this time, they saw a swarthy boot stretching out from inside the stone door, as if the next moment, the people inside were about to squeeze out of the crack in the door! The boots were also wrapped with black undead energy! Seeing this scene, Pique only felt an electric current hit his whole body from his scalp, making him shake violently!
"Run!" Zhu Tian blurted out, "You are on the left, I am on the right!"
Pique waited for this sentence, and his body instantly activated, striding towards the stairs on the left.
"Help me!"
Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded, and Peak unconsciously turned his head and looked at Zhu Tian, who was running towards the stairs on the other side.
No, this is not Zhu Tian's voice! At this time, Zhu Tian happened to be looking at Pique, the two of them glanced at each other from a distance, and then tacitly turned their heads and ran backwards at the same time.
Just as they were about to reach the top of the stairs, the voice rang out again. "Emma, I can help you find Emma!"
Zhu Tian was stunned, and Pique also stopped.
At this moment, Zhu Tian instantly thought of the skeleton that deceived him. But he stopped there anyway and slowly turned back.
Pique was already about to walk down the stone steps, but when he heard the name, he secretly said in his heart, it's over, Zhu Tian will definitely go back. Sure enough, when he looked back, he saw that Zhu Tian had already returned to the gap in the stone gate!
Peake stood there. "Aren't you running?" he shouted nervously, "he may be lying to you, and he must have heard what we said at the gate of the stone gate." ”
Zhu Tian smiled bitterly. "I don't care about anything anymore," he said, "and what does it matter if I tear him down, or if he dismantles him? I'm tired of running away, and I'm going to seize the slightest opportunity." ”
"Understood. Peake walked back at this point, "Then get him out." ”
Obviously, the person inside the stone gate was stuck there, only one arm and one leg were stretched out, and the body did not come out.
"Open the door. Zhu Tian made a decision, and Peake cooperated and put his hand into the hole in the stone door.
After a loud grinding sound sounded, the people in the stone gate finally squeezed out!
Pique and Zhu Tian unconsciously retreated, pulling away some distance.
Behind them, a foggy light came through the window, and by this light they could see the people in front of them.
Black boots, dark brown breeches, a delicate retro dark blue short coat, and a noble top hat. Peake also saw him take a pitch-black aristocratic cane! and look at his emaciated face, which was full of miserable white, and the black beard that was shaved under his nose in a trapezoidal shape was particularly obvious. He had a pair of light green eyes like grass, and he exuded an eerie feeling in the dark.
Looks like an aristocrat.
Looking at the people who came out of the stone gate, Pique and Zhu Tian were stunned.
"Oh! it's really out, it's unbelievable. He paused on the ground for a moment on the nobleman's cane, straightened his collar with the other, and then touched the trapezoidal beard. "Hello two young people, I'll introduce myself first, my name is Soros, huh...... How's it going? I'm pretty dressed, isn't it? I've already started to get dressed up when you open the door, and I've trimmed my beard. These are my new clothes and new boots, all specially worn to see you. What's the matter? Two young men talking, oh yes! I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you, but the story you just told is so touching! Emma, it's a very nice name, and I want to pay my most sincere respect to this girl."
To Pique and Zhu Tian, his voice has a special magnetism and rhyme, and his speech is subdued, as if he is reading poetry. Moreover, when he spoke, a shallow smile kept hanging on the corner of his mouth. The kind expression was like greeting an old friend.
"Soros, you just said you wanted to help me find Emma. Finally, Zhu Tian spoke. "Are you lying to me?"
I saw him smile slowly, and said in that special voice: "Two handsome and friendly young people, you must have seen it too." He opened his hands, showing off his costume and a noble cane. "I am a noble nobleman, how could I lie to you? believe me!" he took off his hat and put it on his chest, and bowed: "I can tell you without reservation, I am a duke, a duke with a vast territory and endless wealth, as noble as me, naturally have my own power. Take me out, and I'll unleash my forces to help you find the person you're looking for. ”
Pique showed a suspicious gaze, but Zhu Tian shouted directly: "Liar, fart, duke, are you a fool for me?"
When Soros heard this, he just blinked his eyes twice, and the smile on his face remained unchanged. "I'm a real nobleman, you two children can go out and inquire, the whole continent, who doesn't know me Grand Duke of Bauhin?" Yes, look here," he said, pointing to the purple sign on his chest, "You see, this is my family crest, I am the first Duke of Bauhinia." Believe me, on this continent, I want to find someone who will definitely be more efficient than the royal family. ”
Peake was vaguely aware of something, and a look of shock appeared on his face. Zhu Tian said directly: "Duke, royal family, do you think we are fools or are you fools yourself? You have brown hair and say that you are a nobleman? This is the most obvious logical loophole, right?"
Soros put on his hat thoughtfully, his light green pupils slowly flashed, and said tentatively: "Could it be that the Odin people have rebelled?
"Shut up," Zhu Tian shouted. "We don't have time to talk nonsense about you madman, and if you don't say anything substantial, I'll lock you up again. "He's pretty sure the guy in front of him is a complete lunatic. Come to think of it, how can a person who is locked up in such a place have normal people?
Soros didn't care, he smiled softly: "Please forgive me, I've been asleep for too long." Still, I can help you, with my wisdom. If you want to find someone, you need a certain amount of wisdom. I know a lot about this continent, and by the way, I have a nickname called the Prophet. Well...... Actually, I don't know any prophecies, but I just know a lot of things. Therefore, every word spoken can have a good prophetic effect. ”
"Prophet?" Zhu Tian looked at Soros again and sneered, "Then did you predict your end?
"Zhu Tian, you should be called this name, I heard these two words in the stone gate just now," Soros said with a smile, "It's better for us to make a bet." ”
"Bet on what?"
"Bet on who of us will get out of this tower today. ”
Out of the tower? Zhu Tian thought to himself, this guy was really thinking about this matter, and somehow, Zhu Tian faintly had a bad premonition. "What's the stake?" he asked.
"You want to find Emma, you win, of course I will help you find Emma with all my might!"
"Fart!" Zhu Tian scolded directly, "You are confined to the Tower of the Dead, how can you help me find it?"
"I said, relying on wisdom, you irascible young man really need my wisdom, you might as well listen to me first," Soros took a slow step forward and said, "I am called a prophet because I can speculate many things, for example, I can guess what will happen to you based on the situation you are in and what you say." That's a very important ability, kid. Come to think of it, if I had known what happened to Emma before she disappeared, I would have been able to figure out where she was?"
Zhu Tian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then how do you prove the ability of this kind of prophecy?"
"Proof of it? It's actually very simple," he took a step forward and came to Zhu Tian and Pique, as if thinking, he lit the nobleman's cane and walked back and forth a few steps, "Look there." He stretched out his noble staff, pointed to the pillar of light shining through the window, and said, "You should know that this is the Tower of the Dead, but do you know how to get out?"
Zhu Tian said: "Just walk out of the jade gate on the first floor." ”
Pique added next to him: "Or wait for the light to shine in from the jade gate, as long as you are illuminated by the light, you can get out of the Tower of the Dead, to be precise, you can get out of the dream by the pillar of light outside." ”
"Well, that's accurate. Soros nodded, and gradually walked under the pillar of light, "But it can be more accurate, in fact, it is your consciousness that has come to the tower, not the entity. In other words, you came here in your sleep, and when you woke up, you naturally went out. And this pillar of light is actually equivalent to the sun in the outside world. When the sun shines on your body, it can easily wake you up from your sleep. But how do you wake up on your own initiative, have you thought about it?"
"Take the initiative to wake up?" said a lot, and Zhu Tian felt that he was being blinded.
Pique, on the other hand, suddenly had a bad premonition. At this time, he saw that Soros, who claimed to be a nobleman, was already standing in the pillar of light, and suddenly, he suddenly realized something, and shouted to Zhu Tian: "No! Zhu Tian! Let's go!" He ran quickly towards Zhu Tian!
Zhu Tian was stunned, and at this time he also felt that something was wrong, and slowly looked at Soros, who saw the other party take out a round metal ornament from his arms.
That is, pocket watches?
Just when Zhu Tian hesitated, he suddenly saw that the other party pointed the "pocket watch" like something at Pique!
In an instant, a flash of light reflected the past!
"No!"
Zhu Tian roared angrily. He watched as Soros and Pique disappeared before his eyes!
