Chapter 16: Gold
Li Fan followed Harvis's advice.
He packed his bags and was led by Harvey to the area where it was possible to find the "Golden Mead".
Walking through a wilderness, through a forest, and across a stream, Li Fan and Silva approached the border, where they encountered a giant wasp with a human head, a monster with limbs, and a terrifying forest of worn-out plastic models.
This world is even more exciting than Alice in Wonderland!
At the end of the road, there is an extinct volcano, and it is rumored that the Golden Mead is in the crater of the extinct volcano.
When Li Fan and the others came to the extinct crater with great difficulty, they actually saw a small wooden house at the bottom of the extinct crater.
At that time, a ray of light pierced through the thick gray fog and shone on this isolated cabin, which was surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants, which set off the place like a fairy tale cabin.
Silva tilted his head and unleashed his mental power to probe ahead: "There are no living beings. ”
Li Fan sat on the grass a little tiredly, lying on his back, looking at the gray sky above his head, he said: "You said that the author is idle and hurts, what kind of plot flow!" I'm tired! Bastard! ”
"Believe me, the author regrets it more than you."
Silva comforted: "I want to write the plot but I can't write it well, and I'm so worried that I scratch my ears and cheeks, but I can't do anything...... He's in a lot more pain than you. ”
Li Fan: "Uh...... He didn't listen easily. ”
Silva: "yes, life is full of malice. ”
After venting, Li Fan stood up again, patted his face, regrouped his spirits, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone in the house!" There's no one to go in! ”
No one answered.
Li Fan didn't talk nonsense, and took the lead in it.
The room is very simple, full of old furniture full of the atmosphere of the years, as far as the eye can see, the whole cottage is clear at a glance, as if the "buzzing golden wine" is not on the surface.
But even if they searched the hut, they couldn't find a single bit of information about the Golden Mead.
Just when Li Fan was a little anxious about catching the blind, an old female voice came from outside the house: "What are you doing?" ”
In the backlight at the door, Li Fan saw an old woman wearing a dress, a scarf, and a basket in her hand.
At this moment, however, her eyes were full of vigilance.
Li Fan and Silva glanced at each other, and they both saw the incredible in each other's eyes!
How did she end up here?
From beginning to end, the spiritual tentacles of the two of them spread inside and outside this hut, and a third of the area at the bottom of the volcano was under their perception!
And this kind-looking old grandmother appeared silently......
No, she's more like she came out of nowhere!
Li Fan remained vigilant, but a smile appeared on his face: "Hello, please forgive us for being presumptuous, but we shouted outside just now, and we came in when no one answered......"
The kind old woman leaned back slightly: "You ...... What do you want? ”
Li Fan groaned and decided to get straight to the point: "Let's find golden mead again." ”
The kind old woman's face changed abruptly, and she took several steps back, although she was very frightened and frightened, but she did not run away, but stood there, struggling, and hesitantly asked, "Who asked you to come?" ”
Li Fan narrowed his eyes.
began to think about countermeasures, first of all, this kind old woman was obviously an insider, if he could, Li Fan hoped to get more relevant information from the mouth of this old woman.
But how to gain the trust of the old woman is the key.
At this time, Li Fan decided to be honest and tell everything he knew and experienced, even if he couldn't gain the trust of the other party, he could get some information from the other party's reaction.
By the time Li Fan finished speaking, the kind old woman had already quieted down.
She looked at Li Fan, her eyes had lost the panic and vigilance at the beginning, she looked at Li Fan, and there was even a smile in the corner of her eyes: "It turns out ...... It's her, no wonder ......"
Li Fan took the opportunity to ask, "Who is she?" ”
Old woman: "The one who sent you out." ”
Li Fan was a little clear, but before Li Fan could ask anything more, she suddenly said quickly and mysteriously: "The people of the Ancatero family can't believe it, not a single one!" ”
After saying that, she kept silent.
Li Fan, who sensed that something was wrong, didn't say anything, he stood up and tried his best to let go of his spiritual tentacles, however, when there was nothing in his spiritual network, Harvey calmly walked out of the blind corner in his field of vision.
Li Fan could perceive that the moment he saw Harvis, the old woman behind him was so nervous that her whole body tensed.
Harvey walked over with a mask on his head and said softly, "Mr. Li is really powerful, he found the Golden Mead so quickly." ”
Li Fan's expression was stunned, a little incredulous.
The old woman looked at Harvey coldly, and then said softly, "That's right, I'm the golden mead you're looking for." ”
She said to Li Fan: "I'll go with you, but ...... I'll take you to the third layer, but ...... Please keep him at arm's length from me. ”
The old woman glared at Harvey viciously, Harvey raised his hand, indicating that he had done nothing harmlessly and stepped aside, and he laughed and said, "I understand." ”
Li Fan was watching from beginning to end, because Harvey was by his side, and the old woman didn't say anything.
There is a intention to separate Harvis, but Harvey seems to be deliberately eyeing here......
Refusing to leave, he said...... He was going to escort Li Fan to the third layer interface.
……
A black door stood in the gray mist.
The gate is carved with these infinite reliefs, each of which is a ukiyo-e of human emotion.
Ugly, good, indifferent, crazy......
This is countless times more magnificent and complex than Rodin's gates of hell, madness and madness, looking at the door, Harvey opened his arms, and said in a fluctuating tone that had never appeared from beginning to end: "Look, this is the path to the truth. ”
"Smash it!"
He said in a fanatical tone, and the invisible qi wave under the black satin robe turned the vicinity of Li Fan into flying sand and stones; The gray mist was swept by the energy and turned into a majestic tornado.
At this time, Li Fan was stunned: ", what is this unfolding?" ”
And under Harvey's control, the golden mead, the old woman, was swept into the air, and golden light overflowed from her body, like the finest honey syrup, flowing from the woman's body in mid-air, flowing to the ground, to the dark, twisted door......
