said that Xiaoyin would take me to Chang Ran, but I didn't expect to encounter resistance, Granny Wu didn't agree with me to see Chang Ran, she said in her mouth: "I can't let him enter the secret place again, I will definitely not agree." ”

I couldn't help but stroke my forehead and said: "Mother-in-law, I didn't mean to let Chang Ran accompany me to the secret land, the city lord said that I can only go alone, I just want Chang Ran to tell me the situation in the secret place, otherwise I don't know anything when my eyes are dark." ”

"If you ask him about the secret land, he will definitely be tempted again, he almost lost his life the last time he came back, and now he can't change back into a human ......"

Speaking of which, Granny Wu may have realized that she had lost her words, so she immediately took the conversation, took the breakfast she brought me, and left.

Seeing that this Granny Wu really didn't allow me to see Changran, I really couldn't do anything about her.

It seems that it is impossible to get Granny Wu's consent, so I have to start from the shadows.

I asked Xiaoyin to ask her to find a way to break up Granny Wu, and I secretly went to see Chang Ran.

Xiaoyin nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Uncle Dong to arrange for Granny Wu to help pick some medicinal herbs, this work can only be completed when you do a light hour, you take advantage of this time to see Brother Changran." ”

Xiaoyin secretly went to see Chang Ran before, and told him about the city lord's consent for me to go to the secret land, and said that I wanted to meet him in person and ask him about the secret land.

Chang Ran has not been able to recover his human body, and now he should be a physical half-human, and the reason why Granny Wu let him stay in the house all day is because she doesn't want people outside to know that he can't recover his body in the light now.

This is a very big thing for the demi-human race, it means that you have done evil things and have been cursed by the gods, no wonder Granny Wu did not dare to let Chang Ran appear in front of everyone, if such a light appeared at the time, it would definitely make the people of the tribe afraid and abandon him.

At this time, I can also understand Granny Wu's intentions to protect her children, but the matter of meeting Chang Ran in the past is related to my success or failure in the secret place, so whether Granny Wu agrees or not, I will go to see Chang Ran and understand the truth of the secret place.

On that day, I just randomly listed some things that I thought I should be ready to bring and handed them to Xiaoyin, these things were promised by the city lord to prepare for me, and when the light was turned on the next day, I stood at the crack of the door in the room, and saw with my own eyes Dong Qi called Granny Wu out and asked her to pick herbs, Granny Wu took the task and turned around and thought for a while, then turned around and entered the house, and when she came out again, a chain from nowhere bolted the door.

It seems that she is very protective of me, knowing that I must be playing tricks when I am sent to pick herbs for no reason.

Watching Granny Wu leave step by step, I rubbed out the door in three or two clicks, and at this time my head was already covered with the turban commonly used by the half-human tribe sent by Xiaoyin, otherwise my golden hair would definitely be recognized in such a strong light.

I wagged my tail and walked towards the room where Granny Wu lived, although there was a chain to handle the door, but it couldn't stop me from meeting Chang Ran.

Chang Ran must be standing by the door now, waiting for my arrival, we can't meet but we can talk through the door.

At this time, I was most glad that Granny Wu, as the lord of the city, lived on the highest floor, so that I didn't have to go through those steep stairs, which were too vicious for me, a fish that walked with my tail.

When I arrived at the door of Granny Wu's house, I quietly shrank down while there was no one around, my body shape was not as good as ordinary half-humans, if I shrunk down and sat on the ground, no one else could see me, especially this is the room on the top floor, usually no one will come.

Of course, at this time, Xiaoyin will also help me stop the clansmen who are coming over, so that I can give me time to talk to Chang Ran about the secret land.

I knocked lightly on the door, and a thick male voice came from inside, "Is it a twig?" ”

I nodded, and then I realized that there was a door between us, and he couldn't see my movements, so I quickly replied, "It's me." ”

Chang Ran let out a long sigh on the side of the door, "I didn't expect that one day someone would go to the secret place, I hope you can find that passage." ”

"Thank you, I just want to know what your demi-human secret land is like, will I have a chance to find a passage when I break into the secret place like this, and what did you experience when you went to the secret place last time?"

Chang Ran also knew about our current situation, and I didn't have much time, so he made a long story short and quickly told me what he had experienced when he went to the secret place.

The secret place of Ice Valley City is under the ground of this city, and only through a magic mirror that can be opened by the city lord can you enter the secret place, when Chang Ran was by chance, he hid and entered the secret place when the city lord opened the illusion, and he stayed in the secret place for more than a dozen light hours.

"There was darkness in the secret place, there was no light, I was touching the wall of the secret place and walking forward little by little, I only remember that I walked for three light hours before I reached a wall, or the front of a door, and then I gently pushed the door, and the dazzling white light instantly shook my eyes to see things clearly, I kept crying, I hurriedly retreated, and then the door was closed."

I kind of understand why Chang Ran can't see things with tears, from a very dark place to a place where the aurora is bright, his eyes can't adapt to the intensity of the light at once, he needs to cover something in front of his eyes, and he can see normally in the light for a while.

Chang Ran was scared because of his eyes, he no longer dared to go forward, just when he stayed in the dark for a dozen lights, and by the time the city lord rescued him, I had already turned into a half-beast form, even if I returned to the city, I couldn't recover my full body under the light.

So this is also the reason why Granny Wu let him stay indoors all day, "My mother thinks that I am cursed by God, and I know in my heart that it must have something to do with that strong light." ”

I pondered what Chang Ran said, the so-called secret place was not in any danger at all, and he didn't encounter any danger and quit because his eyes couldn't stand it, I sighed a little discouraged, maybe Chang Ran also heard my sigh, "My experience doesn't help you much, but you can still refer to it somewhat." ”

I continued to ask the question in my mind, "Is there no light allowed in the secret place or are you not prepared for a light source?" ”

"I decided to sneak into the secret place on the fly, and I didn't bring anything except a little food, but now I think about it, thanks to the fact that I still have a scheming to bring some food, otherwise I will starve to death there even if there is no danger in those dozen lights."

"Has anyone managed to find the passage before you?"

Chang Ran in the room was silent for a while before saying, "Yes, but those who found the passage never came back, so no one knows how they found the passage." ”

Hit by another blow of disappointment, I pulled myself together and asked, "Didn't you hear something about the secret place before you entered it?" ”

Chang Ran hesitated for a moment and said, "I've heard some of them. I pricked up my ears earnestly and waited for him to continue.

"It is said that the secret place of Ice Valley City was not called a secret place before, it was a retreat left by the ancestor who built the city to the demi-humans, if this city cannot allow the demi-humans to survive, it can also retreat to another world, it is said that that world should be able to accommodate races like us, but then the Ice Valley City is very good, and the demi-humans gradually adapt, and this retreat no longer exists."

Retreat, another world, I just feel that my head is exploding, how can this half-human race have so many things.

"After that, there are half-human people who have opened a passage to the underwater world in this secret place, and we can trade with the sea tribe, but there are also good and bad people in the sea tribe, they are different from us, they can live in the sea by nature, and we need to wear a special device to go to the sea tribe's place."

"What device, do you still have it?"

I pressed eagerly, I had known from Xiaoyin that the Centaurs had devices that could walk and breathe normally on the ocean floor, but she told me at the time that they were all lost.

"These devices should still be in the city lord's vault, but I don't know if they can be used again."

I got a lot of information about the secret land from Chang Ran, but there wasn't much useful news, after all, he hadn't left the secret place to find that passage.

I still have one day left, I hope that I can prepare all the things in this day, and I hope that this Vatican Emperor will not be too stingy with me, and give me everything I want, there is that device that can walk and breathe freely on the bottom of the sea, it stands to reason that I don't need this kind of thing at all, but there is a voice in my heart telling me that this thing should be carried, when it is useful.

Fortunately, this Vatican still speaks his word, even though he hesitated for a moment when I asked for the device, but still nodded in agreement.

Another dark hour, and tomorrow when the light hour comes, I will enter the secret place.

I checked my gear, a device provided by the demihumans, a lighting stone, a blackout cloth of my own making, food and drink, and all sorts of things I thought I could use in the secret land.

Before going to bed, I slid into the basin of water and prayed to the sky sincerely, hoping that tomorrow's trip to the secret land would be all the best, that I would find the passage to the ocean, that I would find Twig's mother, that I would find the cryocrystal, that everything would go well, that I would complete my mission, and that I would get out of here and return to the real world, where there would be people waiting for me.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep, sleeping here is a different experience, I often stay here all day with my eyes open until dawn, I thought I was sleepy, but whether I slept or not, I was still in that state, it seems that the only benefit of this dream is to stay energetic.

But tomorrow is an important key for me, and I have to prepare well no matter what, including sleep, and hopefully get a revelation in my dreams.
