Chapter 193: The Secret Room Under the Pool
After Yuhua signed Xiang with two cool strokes, he ate the rice in the bowl with a big meal.
"Now, what's that secret room you're talking about?"
"This ......"
Xiang hesitated, to be honest, he wanted to go back and tell the Beast Emperor about this matter, after all, he himself knew the importance of this news, and there were terrifying things in the secret room.
"Didn't you listen to what the Beast Emperor said just now? He said that he wanted me to be responsible for the next thing, which means that you must tell me all the information in the secret room, or you will disobey the instructions of the Beast Emperor. Believe it or not, I told the Beast Emperor to go!? ”
"Don't~ I said it doesn't work yet!"
"Here's the thing, a week ago, I was reading in the library, and a friend who was cleaning the palace got sick, so I helped her. When I disturbed the pool in the courtyard, I suddenly felt a very strange sound of water coming from inside. ”
"The sound of flowing water? What's a strange way? ”
Yuhua said with interest.
"Ordinary water isn't the sound of running water, I heard a gurgling sound mixed in with the pool, a bit like the sound of drainage, and then I was curious and dived to the bottom of the pool."
"It's still quite deep at the bottom of the pool, like a small deep sea, Lord Demon, don't you think it's weird? Why is a pool built so deep? ”
"Well, it's really weird, keep talking!"
"I dived to the bottom of the pool and found that the purring sound came from behind a large rock, and when I moved the stone away, I found that there was actually a big pipe behind it, and the pipe was draining the water that made that purring sound."
"Isn't it normal to have pipes in the pool? Otherwise, how to use it for water filling and water change! ”
"No, I've seen the design drawings of the pool before, and there is actually no such pipe in it, which means that this pipe was placed in it by someone else for some purpose. So I swam down the pipe and found that the place where it was connected was actually a secret room. ”
"The inside of the secret room is very good, but you can still vaguely see the general appearance of the inside, the shape of the secret room is about a circular area, surrounded by the water in the pool, and in the middle is a circular open space, which is filled with many cabinets and cylindrical containers. The air was very humid and the temperature was relatively low, and I felt as if I had discovered some great secret. ”
"So I ran to the clearing, wanting to investigate the specific situation, and then I paid attention to the cylindrical containers, and found that they contained the corpses of all the previous human emperors for thousands of years!"
"What!?"
Yuhua was stunned for a moment, what is going on with the situation that is happening now!
Yuhua stood up, with a serious look on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
"Xiang, I want to read your memory!"
After thinking about it, Yuhua said this sentence.
Memory is a very important thing for a person, it records everything you have seen and heard in this life, although sometimes you can't remember something, but it is really engraved in your mind. For an undercover intelligence agent like Sho, memory is undoubtedly something more valuable than life.
"This..."
"Don't worry, I won't read the information you stealed. I'm just looking at the message in the back room. ”
Xiang lowered his head, thought for a long time, and said slowly.
"Good!"
Yuhua put the palm of his hand on Xiang's head, its fluffy koala head feels very good to the touch, Yuhua closes his eyes, reading memories This kind of thing requires a very high spell caster's magic control, if you are not careful, it is likely to cause damage to the brain of the person who is reading the memory, and even endanger your life.
Yuhua took a deep breath and began to mobilize his magic power, Yuhua's right hand emitted a little white light, and he wanted to substitute himself into Xiang's memory.
Yuhua's memory reading magic is very advanced, and he can substitute his own spirit into the scene at that time, so that he can notice details that even Xiang himself has not noticed.
It was a five-meter-wide pipe filled with slightly clear water.
(This is the pipe under the pool that Sho said!) )
Yuhua swam against the current of the pipe, and as he gradually deepened, the light around him gradually dimmed until it was completely dark.
After about five minutes, a glimmer of light finally appeared in the dark environment, like the light of fireflies in the night, Yuhua accelerated over, and finally reached the place of the light, he poked his head out of the water, and found that there was another space inside.
This space is like a natural stalactite cave, and it seems to be natural, but... This is clearly a cave created by someone who deliberately created it with magic, as there are still traces of magic on the walls of this cave.
Yuhua looked at the appearance of this secret room, and the situation was roughly the same as what Xiang said, a bit like the feeling of an island in the middle of the lake, but the lake was a little small.
Coming out of the water, Yuhua walked to the cabinets, which were filled with all kinds of documents of different colors, Yuhua picked up a white paper casually, and there were a few words on it, and he couldn't see anything at all.
The restoration of the scene must be done by Xiang himself to see these things, and the reason why there are words on this white paper is probably that he inadvertently aimed at them with his peripheral vision, and he himself didn't even notice it.
"Is this..."
Yuhua found a dark red folder in the cabinet, it stands to reason that the palace uses different colors to distinguish the importance of things, for example, white is trivial things like that, green is generally inconsequential things, yellow is precautions, orange is important, and red is urgent.
Needless to say, a crimson one like this must be the kind of document that involves confidentiality. Shih Tzu literature
Yuhua took it out, then held it in his hand and began to read.
This crimson document should also have caught Xiang's attention, so the information on the first few pages of this document is relatively complete.
The cover is a large black ink with the word "record", which seems to be a record of some kind of activity.
"On January 1st, 321, my long-planned experiment is about to begin."
"March 2nd, 321, no, there is still no progress in the experiment."
“······”
"On May 30th, 374, it seems that this method will not work, and there is no literature to be found among the human race, so we must cast our vision on foreign races."
Yuhua carefully scanned the first two pages of this crimson material, and it was more appropriate to say that it was not so much a record book as a diary.
Looking at the personal pronoun "I" in this record book, could it be that it was written by the emperor?
(321 · Isn't that a hundred years before the end of the war between humans and demons? Could it be that the Emperor of Man had just finished the war and started this so-called experiment? )
There are so many doubts in this secret room, and there is no reliable conclusion based on the information obtained so far.
"On January 1st, 400, the new century has come, but why hasn't the experiment progressed, no, I can't give up."
"January 1st, 431, a full hundred years, this throne has changed for thirteen generations, I... And so on... I see the light of day!! ”
The record of the booklet ends here, and there are still many pages of space behind, but Xiang himself doesn't seem to have seen it in the future, so naturally it can't be reflected in the memory.
(What does the person who wrote this booklet mean?) If you look at the tone, it looks like it was written by a person from beginning to end, but the personal name has always been 'I'. )
Yuhua thought about it for a while, and probably guessed two possibilities, one is that this record book was written by several emperors during their respective reigns, and only in this way can the self-title of 'I' be explained; The second is that this record book has been written from the emperor in 321 to the present, but this possibility is very small, from 321 to the present, there are at least 200 years, and it is impossible for human beings to have such a long lifespan.
Even with the assistance of magic power, the maximum lifespan of a magician can only be delayed to about 130 years old, and even if it is a little more powerful, it can reach about 150 years old, but it is absolutely impossible to reach the lifespan of 200 years.
Yuhua can only live for more than two hundred years now, this is because of the bloodline of the demon clan and the blessing of the eternal night demon clan, the eternal night demon clan is the most noble bloodline of the demon clan, just like the royal family in the human race, it is not only born with extremely powerful magic power, but also has a large increase in lifespan.
(Hey, what a hassle this is!) )
Yuhua sighed, when will this matter come out, but it will come out when the demon clan is about to start a war, as long as this matter is not understood, the war will always be shrouded in a layer of fog.
Yuhua searched for the rest of the cabinets, and found that there were no other documents to pay attention to before leaving, he began to walk towards the cylindrical containers.
These vessels are identical to the one Ravati had on the Reef, and appear to have been created at the same time.
Ravati's cylindrical container was used to hold the body of the vampire count, and in this sense, the vessel should have the property of 'preservation'.
The cylindrical vessels numbered twenty-six in total, arranged in two rows, each with thirteen standing on the ground like guards.
Yuhua walked over and took a look, and sure enough, as Xiang said, these cylindrical containers contained a total of twenty-six human emperors who had abdicated in the past two hundred years.
"What's going on!?"
Even Yuhua was frightened by this picture, there was such a big secret hidden under the small palace pool, what kind of person could do such a thing!
These containers are filled with clear liquids, and it is supposed to rely on these low-temperature and processed liquids to store these emperors' bodies.
Although Yu Hua hadn't really been to this secret room, he was very sure of one thing, that is, these emperors were dead.
When it comes to corpses, no one knows it better than Yuhua.
Next to these cylindrical vessels was a small bridge that crossed the canal around it and connected to the wall, but the wall on that side was so closed that it was presumably necessary to find a switch to turn it on.
If I didn't guess wrong, there should be another passage in this wall, this passage is connected to a certain place in the palace, I'm afraid this is the way the master of the secret room came here, and the passage under the pool that Xiang found is likely to be an emergency passage.
(Looks like we'll have to make a trip yourself!) )
Yuhua withdrew his magic power and removed his hand from the top of Xiang's head, ending the reading of the memory. You don't need to look at the rest of the situation, it's the fact that Xiang triggered the alarm in the process of searching for information and escaped and was wanted.
"Xiang, listen carefully. All this information about the secret room, except for me, you can only tell the Beast Emperor, and no one else can believe it. Did you hear me clearly? ”
"Hmm!"
Xiang nodded vigorously.
"Then you stay here for a while, it's safe here, as long as you don't go out, no one will find you!"
"Lord Demon King, what are you..."
"I'm going to go to that secret room myself!"
