Volume IV The Clash of Light and Darkness One hundred and thirty-three, doubt
Minter groped in the darkness by the moonlight shining through the window, searched room by room, and finally found a room that looked like a study, and immediately flashed in, closed the door, looked around, and noticed that on the display rack on the west wall, there were two large black clay pots, and he walked over and played a small illumination, and saw that it was indeed painted with gold sel, the sun on the left, and the moon on the right
He reversed the positions of the two jars as Namu had said, and noticed that their bottoms were not flat, but had a small irregularly shaped hole, and the surface of the shelf where they were placed also had a protrusion that coincided with the two small holes, but strangely enough, the two protrusions were identical in appearance
Turning the moon jar three times to the left and then to the right, a slight "click" was heard, and then the shelf began to move, and Minter quickly jumped open, only to see that even the "wall" behind the shelf opened together, revealing a small door two meters long and one meter wide
There was an iron lock on the door, but it was too much for Minter to do, and with a special thin steel wire, he opened the lock, revealing stacks of papers behind the door
There are not only lists of the hidden personnel sent by Noga to other countries, but also lists of bribed officials, officers and nobles, four battle plans that have not yet been finalized, and more than a dozen maps of the distribution of Noga's domestic troops, the most important of which is the distribution map of all the troops in the border areas of Noga, as well as information on the mobile forces of the country, including their backgrounds, numbers, and the names, origins, hobbies, and combat styles of the leading generals
With these, even if Nuojia really starts a war, he is not afraid
Minter happily dialed the materials into his storage ring, then rummaged through the other items in the secret closet
He was not interested in jewelry and the like, and there was a pamphlet that recorded the scandals of dozens of nobles of Nogar, and after turning two pages, he threw away in disgust that Prince Lawler was able to collect such disgusting things, who were his subordinates, did he want to use this to threaten those nobles to obey?
Minter finished searching the entire dark cabinet before noticing that there was a small black box in the corner of the bottom floor. Jewelry box? Compared with the other gorgeous jewelry boxes in the dark grid, this thing is really inconspicuous, he took the box, and was about to open it, but suddenly he left a heart, handed the box two feet away, and opened the lid
Nothing happened
He took the box to him with confidence, and saw that there was only a huge black bead inside, with a diameter of two fingers wide, and a smooth surface that could be seen, revealing a green glow, and he knew that it was worth a lot of money at a glance
Seeing that it was a jewel, Minter suddenly lost interest, and was about to close the lid and put it back in place, but suddenly he had a feeling that he wanted to pick up the bead and take a closer look, and he did so, as soon as his fingers touched the surface of the bead, he immediately felt that the huge energy contained in it seemed to be flowing into his body from his fingertips, and his heart was suddenly surging
What the hell is this thing? What's going on with the energy inside?!
No! This must be a holy relic, a sacred pearl handed down from ancient times! I remember that there is a similar record in myths and legends, as long as you are recognized by this holy pearl, you can become the most powerful person in the world!
How did Prince Lawler get this bead land? Why didn't he disclose this information at all? If he took out this bead to support him, there would be more people, right?
No! How could someone like Lawler be recognized by the Holy Pearl? He is inferior to others in terms of intelligence, force, and character, and this bead falling into his hands is simply an insult to the holy pearl!
Minter couldn't help but think of his fate, did he let him get this holy pearl imply? To be honest, he is actually quite conceited about his own abilities, how many people of the same age are better than him? How many more daring than him dared to go around the continent and did so many great things?! Even the eldest cousin in the eldest uncle's house grew up with his grandfather since he was a child, and people outside called him a genius boy, but Minter asked himself, who is also a grandfather's grandson, and he is not inferior to him at all!
The eldest uncle always said that he himself was the orthodox heir of his grandfather, and he always showed off how good his son was in front of outsiders, and his father didn't fight with him, he thought we were afraid of him, he even learned the family heirloom brocade very often, and dared to say such things! Dad at least learned a good swordsmanship and worked in the security department founded by his grandfather, but what about him? What else but ruining the property?!
However, when it comes to the person who is most qualified to inherit his grandfather, Minter thinks that he is himself, good at martial arts, bold, knowledgeable, and travels all over the continent like his grandfather! With his own ability, the Security Department is just a small meaning, and one day in the future, he will become a hero on the mainland, like his grandfather, admired by hundreds of millions of people! When the time comes, not only will the power and wealth roll in, but even the most outstanding beauties in various countries will take the initiative...
There was a thunderstorm in Minte's brain, and he immediately threw the bead back into the box and jumped three meters away
Seeing that the beads were still shining with green light and gradually dimming, he couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat
If you didn't know that you were actually a girl, you would definitely be tempted by beads, right? How did he come up with those thoughts? Was it his own heart's desire, or was it the illusion brought about by the beads?
Minter stared at the bead uncertainly, biting her lip tightly
If it were him, or she, he would never have that kind of thought, the family had a discussion on the issue of inheritance, and they all thought that the wealth and reputation created by the grandfather belonged to the grandfather, and the family only needed to live their own life
Thinking of this, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he thought about what to do with this bead
There was the sound of horses' hooves outside the window, and at first Minter thought it was coming from the street outside, but when he heard the sound getting closer, he had some bad premonitions, and he approached the window and opened the curtain to look out, and saw Jada and Sargent running into the gate with seven or eight men on horseback, dismounting, and talking to the guards, while the former moved towards the main complex
What are they doing here?!
Minter was taken aback, saw Jada look up this way, hurriedly retracted his head, carefully stabilized the curtain, so that it would not shake and then quickly returned to the dark cabinet, held back to pick up the bead's **, put it back on the lid, put it back in the corner and then closed the door and locked it, and when he turned around and was about to move the shelf back, it suddenly stuck
Namu only mentioned how to open it, but she didn't say how to close it
He tried to open the dark cabinet and do it again, and when he saw that the shelves were closed smoothly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and heard footsteps and talking outside walking in the direction of the study, and when he got closer and closer, he could no longer care about putting the jar back in its original place, so he hurried to the window, and saw that there was no one outside, so he risked being discovered, opened the window and turned out, and then hurriedly closed the window, and jumped to the big tree by the window, causing the trunk to shake for a while, and a lot of leaves fell
Minter quickly slid down from the tree, rushed straight into the darkness, and ran into a guard head-on, and when he saw him, he was stunned, he was in a hurry, an ice arrow was sent over, the soldier screamed and fell, and the people nearby heard his shout, and they all rushed over, Minter saw that the situation was not good, so he had to change direction, and quickly took out a black handkerchief in his hand to cover his face, and then shot a row of ice blades at the horses ridden by Jada and others, the horses were injured and painful, neighing, and the soldiers were busy chasing them, but they were knocked to the ground, The scene suddenly became chaotic, and Minter took the opportunity to rush to the side, and used the light skill of pressing the bottom of the box, and jumped over the wall to escape
By night, he had fled into a nearby neighborhood and had drawn a detailed topographical map of Normonca, which he had not necessarily seen, but when he was training at the General Administration, he had a very boring life, and he had seen all the topographic maps of the cities he had visited, so that he could still remember the general distribution of the streets
He has already alarmed the people on Jada's side tonight, I wonder if it will be exposed? Before the city gates open at dawn, let's make a disguise, he doesn't like the feeling of running for his life
Returning to the courtyard after avoiding the dark whistle, Minter quickly changed into a dirty suit, then took out the magic cooking table and "worked".
Dozens of bottles of magic leaves that had been made before were now all placed on the table, pretending to be the result of a day's work, pouring a large bottle of semi-finished products into the crucible, adding materials, using fire magic, and soon boiling Minter stirred a few times, cut some grass indiscriminately, and then smeared the grass juice on his clothes, feeling that he looked like he had worked for more than ten hours, before he settled down and sat down on the sofa to gasp
Looking at the various magic buds on the table, Minter thought for a moment and put away some of the ones that didn't apply, but the rest was really not very convincing, and it seemed that in order to appear more believable, he was afraid that he would have to work all night tonight
At this moment, Jada sat in the study of Prince Lawrer with a gloomy face, listening to the reports of his subordinates: "So... Didn't anyone see that person's face? ”
"No, it's just that he looks quite thin from a distance, and the only guard who has ever met him is now injured in the eye and is likely to be blind, so..."
Jada snorted coldly: "So no one can recognize what that person looks like?!" ”
His subordinate didn't dare to answer, and lowered his head, and Jada knew that he was just angry, so he waved his hand to let him down, glancing at the pool of water on the table and his face was cloudy
It was impossible to use water as a weapon, and according to the soldiers, it was a solid weapon that attacked them at that time, most likely ice, and the person who used ice as a weapon, he happened to know one
However, Minter is his trusted friend, how could it be that person?! What did he sneak in here for?!
"Click", there was a slight sound from the west, which was particularly obvious in the middle of the night, and Jeda immediately turned his head, and saw that Sargent had opened the bookshelf, revealing the door behind the wall, and he immediately stood up and walked over: "Open it!" I want to know, what's left in there?! ”
When the morning light came, Minter finally finished the magic fray, looking at the table of bottles and cans, he only felt tired and panicked, and seeing that it was still early, he casually leaned on the sofa and fell asleep
He had just slept for less than half an hour when he was woken up by a knock on the door, yawning to open the door, and as soon as he got out of the house, he saw a group of soldiers banging on the door and coming in, followed by Jada, he couldn't help but be secretly taken aback, with a frightened expression on his face, and asked, "What are you doing here?!" ”
Jada didn't answer, but looked at him a few times, saw that he had traces of juice on his body, his face softened a little, and went straight into the room again, and saw the untidy cooking table, and a pile of bottles on the table, and his face warmed up again
Minter cautiously walked through the house and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Suddenly barged in and didn't speak, I offended you? ”
"It's nothing, who told you not to open the door for a long time?" Jada glanced around as if casually, "You spent all day doing magic yesterday?" ”
"Isn't it? I'm almost exhausted," Mint pretended to be angry, "I worked so hard for your uncle and nephew, and you broke my door!" You're going to pay! ”
"Okay, good," Jada replied with a smile on her lips, but her hand reached for the bottles, "What are these bottles?" You seem to have dark circles under your eyes, did you do an all-nighter last night? ”
"No way, it's been boiling for so long, you can't let it go out, right?" Minter pulled out a couple of bottles and handed them to him, "Here you are, take it, drink one every night before going to bed"
Jada was stunned: "What is this?" ”
"Replenish your energy, I saw that you only slept for two hours the night before yesterday, and I gave you a match I know you're busy, so I don't say much, but you still have to take care of your body, don't think that if you're young, you fight too hard, and if you get sick, you'll be in trouble."
Jada's face was a little complicated, and he looked at Minter, wanting to say something, but hesitating
Minter was terrified when he saw this, and kept recalling in his mind what had happened last night, wondering if he had missed something
The two of them stood there for a long time, and then Jada smiled and said, "Thank you, I will drink it" He took the water and said casually: "To be honest, I now find that it was an extremely wise decision to invite you to come!" Where can you find someone more se-sene than you, who is good, courageous, smart, good at magic, and..."He glanced at Minter quickly, "I can also magic, I have never seen anyone else use magic in martial arts like you, right, what kind of magic is that?" ”
Minter roughly guessed where he had a flaw, so he put on an innocent face and said, "Oh, that's water magic, it's actually a very simple trick To be honest, I still have some confidence in the magic, but magic... Cough, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm just a magic apprentice, and I can't even compare to a trainee magician, if I still recognize SE at this level in Shaonan, I will be laughed at, don't praise me."
"Oh? Are there many people in Shaonan who can do this kind of magic? ”
"A lot of Ai what? Do you want to learn? ”
Jada smiled and didn't answer, but the doubts in his heart were reduced by half, and he touched the bottle in his hand, he only felt that this friend who was concerned about his health could not be the person last night
Seeing that he was silent, Minter didn't ask any questions, turned around and packed up the bottle, but heard him say behind his back: "I'm going back to the palace, you come with me, you said you want to go home and do it quietly, in fact, it's also very noisy here, it's better to go back and be quieter, I told others not to disturb you, how about it?" ”
Minter snapped in his hand, quickly glanced at the heavily armed soldiers outside the door, and replied: "Okay, but when I go back, you have to let me sleep first"
(What I always forget to do: Vote for Ai, please vote for me)
