Chapter 475: A Hidden Place, a Warden of the Broken World
What to subdue Mars? It's impossible, right? Murong Yue's eyelids rolled upward, "Since we know that this third party is plotting Mars, there is no need to speculate so much." ”
After all, in her opinion, it is simply a fantasy to take a planet into the palm of her hand with just a few manpower! If you have this bravery, you can move mountains and seas and change the Martian environment.
"This is also speculation, I have only seen them build countless altars in the occupied area, and strange runes have been carved into the sky." Chen Wu saw that Murong Yue didn't believe it, so he told what he had seen. "There are several cities in the 'Scarlet Warhammer', and it is a very powerful magic circle. If it is simply occupied, it naturally does not have to take so much trouble. ”
"It's really suspicious," Murong Yue stared at Chen Wu, seeing that his words were convincing, but he couldn't verify it, I was afraid that he would need to discuss with Xia Duoduo before he could make the next step.
Verify? Right! How did Chen Wu enter the territory of the "Scarlet Warhammer"?
Murong Yue saw that Chen Wu was worried about Lin Namei in her heart, and she was eager to go back, so she had to make a long story short: "Who can go in?" ”
"The 'Vengeance Crusade' can enter, and the Resistance may be possible, but it's a little complicated. It is not impossible for the three of them to enter, they just need to prepare carefully. In this way, we will meet here in three days. ”
Chen Wu was inexplicably anxious, and while Murong was still thinking about what he needed to bring next, a puff of smoke disappeared into the morning mist.
Murong Yue, who was angry, stomped his feet twice: "This Chen Wu is really quick-tempered", with an expression that he didn't know whether he was resentful or envious, he dived into the lake to report Xia Duoduo's safety, and then tiptoed back.
Xia Duo mostly leaned on the bed, looking at Murong Yue with blank eyes: "Do you mean that Chen Wu and Lin Namei have become husband and wife?" Chen Wu is trapped abroad, and his appearance has not changed, and Nami is old? ”
"Chen Wu did say so, and the photo image he took out was indeed Nami, there is no doubt about it." Murong Yue nodded, also looking incredulous.
It's strange that there are places in the galaxy that deliberately interfere with time and space. Then I remembered what Charlotte said about the markers she accidentally made when setting up wormholes in the Milky Way. It seems that when the Terrans are unified, they will organize people to explore these desperate places in depth. At the very least, the situation inside should be investigated and brought into human surveillance.
"In addition, Chen Wu said that seventy percent of the old women we saw at the street corner were the leaders of the Vengeful Crusaders, and we knew this old woman." Murong Yue's expression became melancholy, and she leaned over and whispered in Xia Duoduo's ear.
"What?!" Xia Duoduo glanced out of the dark window with the same expression as Murong Yue at the beginning, and then looked at her with a solemn face: "He did say that?" ”
Xia Duoduo began to think about Chen Wu's motives: Chen Wu knew the old woman's background but did not expose it until he came here. And not long after he was in Shilipo, he reported to the Karnegie Chamber of Commerce. And tell yourself the details, what is the reason for this?
Could it be that he believes that he can protect the old woman? Yes, the reason why he told the old woman that he and himself were old acquaintances was probably because he knew that he would not die without help. But now that I have a mission, it is inconvenient to take another person with me.
"Did he say anything else?" Xia Duoduo asked after a moment of silence.
He also said that he would meet at Jinsha Lake in three days.
"Oh? Meet in three days? Could it be that this ......" Xia Duoduo suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Liu Zihan: "This old woman must be very familiar to us, so she will warn." As for why Chen Wu said three days, maybe Chen Wu will not have time to take care of the old woman in the next three days, and ask us to protect her. ”
"If that's the case, then why did he say it?" Liu Zihan couldn't guess Chen Wu's thoughts, hearts
"If he hadn't said it, we wouldn't have known, and the Carnegie Chamber of Commerce wouldn't have known." ”
"The suspicion is indeed here, I guess that even if Chen Wu doesn't say it, some people have already guessed it", Xia Duoduo thought of the people of the Quicksand Gang, especially the timing of the deputy gang leader entering the Shilipo Inn and Chen Wu's fraudulent death, and it was also this deputy gang leader who confirmed Chen Wu's death.
Although I don't know the relationship between this deputy gang leader of Lu Zhi and Chen Wu and even the female shopkeeper, it is indeed the key to leading Chen Wu's resurrection.
If there is anyone else who knows the identity of the old woman, I am afraid it is one of these two people. And the old woman said that the store was not clean, maybe it was not something else, but people. Naturally, the restaurant included the buddies and the female shopkeeper, as well as the diners.
Moreover, although I don't know how Lin Namei's body is, since Carnegie can make pills for treatment, he is naturally strong, which is not trivial. Chen Wu's whistleblower took this opportunity to obtain the pill, which was reasonable.
It's just that Xia Duoduo began to doubt the efficacy of this elixir.
As for when to protect the old woman, since it is three days later, it will be counted from now on. However, it was less than two hours before dawn, and I didn't know where the old woman was, so I was afraid of falling into a trap and waited for dawn.
When the sky was bright, I heard the sound of a copper bell outside the Shilipo Gate, and a woman in dark red leather armor shouted at the female shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper!" Ask for good meals on two tables! ”
"Gotta you! Girl, is this going to be sharpened or to stay in the hotel? If you are sharp, you can go downstairs, and if you live in a hotel, you will be sent to the private room upstairs. The female shopkeeper poked her head out of the counter like a peach blossom and said with a smile.
"If you want two upper rooms, you can just send the food over." The woman spoke aloud and stepped in.
"Okay! This way, please! This way, please! The female shopkeeper greeted her with a happy face, "Girl, how many people are this?" ”
"One person!"
“...... It's a bit of a waste to live in two rooms for one person, right? We have single rooms here. The female shopkeeper glanced at the woman up and down, and kindly persuaded her.
It's just that the woman glanced at her and said with a hint of contempt: "How do you do it?" I want two rooms, why can't I live alone? ”
"What the adults are talking about, what they are talking about, the two upper rooms, please!" The female shopkeeper's expression froze, and then she said tactfully.
Xia Duoduo withdrew his gaze from the crack in the window, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed at the female shopkeeper: "Heh! Business is not easy to do, not to mention the troubled times. ”
"Today we went out to look for the old woman to see who she was." As he spoke, he walked downstairs.
"How many adults are checking out or going out?" The female shopkeeper looked over from the room, glanced at the three of them, and turned to everyone as if she had thought of something.
"We'll keep the room for us, let's go play for a while." Xia Duoduo casually agreed, and continued to walk downstairs.
"Okay, my lords." The female shopkeeper agreed unhurriedly, and only then did she sigh heavily when the three of them disappeared from sight. "These guest officers are agile, their eyes are like stars, and their gestures are full of chivalrous demeanor, and Shilipo will not be peaceful."
At this time, the streets are unusually deserted, perhaps because of the early morning, many shops have not yet opened. Only strands of wind and sand were left flying around.
Xia Duoduo remembered the old woman he saw yesterday and walked towards the place where she had disappeared.
A dilapidated alley with a few wooden barrels piled up around it, a few pieces of rotten wood of uneven length in the innermost part, and then the leftovers of the house that I don't know who repaired the house are scattered in a haphazard manner.
A musty smell of decay filled the entire space, and the droppings of salamanders and sand cats were everywhere and full of decay
A lonely sight.
The dilapidated gatehouses on both sides have not had time to be repaired because of the long time, accompanied by the sound of "clang" from the wind sofa.
Perhaps this is what Mars, which has experienced the trauma of war, is what it should be.
Xia Duoduo looked for it next to each other, only to find that there were beggars living in ragged clothes and thin yellow muscles. It's just that there is no old woman.
Xia Duoduo asked a few words in a low voice, but those people looked at her with a wary look and couldn't help dodging towards the corner. Xia Duoduo's heart was a little sour, and after sending out a few coins, a boy with a beautiful face and dirty body said timidly: "That hunched old lady may live under the bridge." He pointed downwards as he spoke.
When the three of them were under a stone bridge full of cracks, they found a cave in the dry riverbed that could only be entered by one person, and dozens of stones were placed around the cave, each with a different deep mark carved on it. A magic array several feet wide was faintly formed.
"Apparition?" Xia Duoduo glanced at Murong Yue and Liu Zihan and told the origin of this magic array. Starfleet's standard configuration of camouflage arrays, although not very clever, and even a little low-level, but fortunately, it is not convenient and does not require too much professional knowledge. It is a basic skill that every soldier will know.
And with the use of "Cunning Rabbit Three Holes", the effect is surprisingly good.
Liu Zihan took out a wide-angle instrument from his backpack, raised his head to look at the sun twice, and then took out a sundial to coincide with the shadow.
Murong Yue was calculating beside her, silently reading the readings. At the last moment when the shadow and the sundial formed a thirty-degree angle, Murong Yue's hands were there? He waved his head quickly.
After the shadow left the thirty-degree angle, the hole in the ground revealed a hole the size of a fist, and Xia Duoduo threw the Silver Phoenix Elite Cadet Medal engraved with Qin Hao's name in his hand.
With a burst of silence, in front of the underground cave, a bridge suddenly extended forward. Now it is dry, and if there is water, you will see a door appear between the reflections above and below the bridge.
Xia Duoduo glanced at the two behind him and stepped in. As the three of them walked in, the door closed suddenly, and the stones that Murong Yue had opened returned to their original state.
"Puff puff!" The oil lamp on the stone base lit up and extended forward to form a fiery dragon. The walls of the cave are unusually smooth, as if they have been carefully polished.
The road twisted and turned, more than three miles long, and suddenly the front opened up, and a blue-gray stone gate opened in front of it. There are countless diamond-shaped patterns on the ground, which are extremely elegant and noble.
It's just that Xia Duoduo read the smell of danger in it, which is clearly an attack circle. If you don't crack the "Phantom Shifting" in front of you and break in, you will be attacked by the fire magic here.
Losing oxygen in a confined space with no oxygen is scary to think about.
There were countless stone balls piled up on both sides of the gate, and even if they were replenished by the air outside, they could not avoid the impact of these cobblestones.
Inside the door is a pentagonal altar with a stone pier in the center of which sits an old woman with white hair.
At this time, she raised her head, looked at Xia Duoduo, and smiled bitterly: "It's finally here, 'Ersi Messenger' - Xia Duoduo." ”
Xia Duoduo's face was full of suspicion, staring directly at the old woman, and after a while, he whispered uncertainly, "Is it Amora Nana?" ”
The old woman looked up at Xia Duoduo, nodded slowly, motioned for Xia Duoduo and the three to sit down, and then said to Xia Duoduo straight to the point: "I won't go around in circles, I am Amola Nana, the current leader of the Vengeful Crusaders." ”
