Chapter 126: Under the Wilderness
The carriage entered an open wasteland from the meadow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Eric rubbed his eyes, then opened them again. That's right, it's wasteland. Frankly, he was surprised that there would be wasteland in the castle lord's fort.
The wasteland was clearly demarcated from the meadows they passed, and the scenery on both sides was very different. The large wasteland in front of me was scorched yellow, with no grass and even mottled cracks.
There is always something different about the place where the worldly masters live. The land here has apparently been influenced by alchemy to become like this.
If Eric hadn't known that they were going to visit an alchemist, he would have thought that the gardener here was lazy.
Eventually, the carriage slowed down until it stopped.
"Here we are. Papitt said.
So the three of them got out of the carriage one after another.
But when Eric landed on the ground and looked around, he saw that there was no building around.
Where is the alchemist's house?
After a cool breeze, Eric confirms to Papit, "Are you sure we should get off here?"
"That's right. Papitt replied. He seemed to know very well what kind of doubt Eric had, and then pointed to his feet.
Eric then discovered that there was a large metal disc on the ground not far away.
"What is this?, a door?" asked Eric as he walked over and searched for the entrance. It is clear that this alchemist lived underground.
Eric tapped his hand on the disc. The disc made a clanging sound. Unfortunately, he couldn't judge its material based on its sound. But it should be a mixed metal.
"While what you say is true, it's not entirely true. ”
Papitt's answer left Eric scratching his head.
But this isn't the first time that Papitt has taken Eric underground. The last time was in Saint-Du-Oud. It's as if there's something strange hidden underground, no matter where it is.
By this time, Papitt and his maid were standing skillfully in the center of the round iron plate.
"Come here, Eric. ”
Eric was a little uneasy, but he stood next to Papitt as he said.
Then, Triss, dressed as a maid, walked out of the central area and began to jump on the disc. And what is remarkable is that every place of her landing will be lit up with fluorescent blue light. On closer inspection, it was a few unknown words that shone brightly.
Soon, all six words lit up thanks to Triss's efforts. Immediately, the golden streaks flashed from the center to the edges of the entire metal disc.
Eric's eyes caught the pattern perfectly, and even if he didn't see it again, he could recognize it as a magic circle.
And just now, it had been activated by Triss's regular footsteps.
"Are you ready?"
Papitt asked.
Eric didn't know why, but nodded subconsciously. But then, he understood why Papitt was doing it.
There was a sudden whistling.
Suddenly, Eric had a strange sensation - he felt like he was flying.
But the sky was getting farther and farther away from him in an instant. If you look closely, it turns out that the metal disc under your feet is descending at a rapid pace. And everything around is going up at breakneck speed. Eric even felt like his feet were about to leave the disc soon.
It turned out that the large disc was a floating vehicle. At this moment, it was carrying the three of them underground.
But to be honest, it doesn't feel good to be on this vehicle. In addition to being dizzy, Eric's stomach was churning. Finally, he crouched down uncomfortably.
Fortunately, the disc soon stopped.
Looking at the sad Eric, Papitt looked sympathetic: "You were the same when I first rode it. Just sit a few more times. ”
Triss looked at Eric with disdain. She didn't want to think about it, she was a vampire with only a strong body.
Eric swears he never wants to sit a second time.
After a short break, Eric still commented on the machine: "It's fast, but it's not human-friendly. However, the floating disc doesn't look like alchemy, but like magic. ”
"You're right, it's magic. The alchemist has many friends. Much of Mr. White's residence here was designed and made by his magician friend. Papitt gave the answer.
"Oh, then that magician friend must be very powerful. ”
Although Eric doesn't know much about magic items, he still has basic common sense. To be able to make such a magical floating disc in front of you is by no means an ordinary magician.
"Have you heard of Kieran?"
Papitt said coldly.
Eric began to search in his head, but he found nothing.
"Nope. Who's that?"
Papitt sighed. "You're not from Pelos, so it's understandable not to know. In simple terms, he is one of the six-pointed stars. The profession is magician. ”
The six-pointed star of Pyros, the patron saint of Pyros.
There are not a few hexagrams that Eric knows. The Pelos are generally unusually respectful to their patronus, and will easily refuse to mention them by name. So it wasn't until Papitt said Kieran's name that Eric finally knew all the candidates for the six-pointed star.
Marella, the head maid.
Knight Jusis.
Businessman Rowan.
The gun god Colt who is about to meet.
Mr. Sword Shengqiu, whom I have never met.
The last one is the magician Kieran that Papitt just mentioned.
"As far as I know, magicians are close to extinction. Most of their descendants also don't like to deal with people. And this Lord Kieran will actually become a six-pointed star......" Eric was a little puzzled.
"That's true. But it was precisely because they were becoming more and more lonely that they needed the support of the nobility to complete their research. Such examples are not uncommon in Odin. At least, I know that there are several magicians in the Oude royal family. ”
Well, again funding. First an alchemist, then a magician. All for the sake of money, they became the de facto vassals of the nobility. Although it sounded better in name, they would not be able to refuse if the nobleman asked for something.
Of course, these disrespectful words Eric would not have spoken.
Padit seemed to guess Eric's thoughts, "Except for this dimension, of course. His Excellency Kieran was also a friend of the first Duke of Pelos. ”
Since he is a friend of the Duke, there is no way.
Wait a minute!
Eric gasped, "What did you say?!a friend of the first Duke?"
"That's right. That's why he willingly became the six-pointed star to guard Pelos. Papitt looked at the surprised Eric and said with satisfaction.
"Nope. I mean...... How old is he?"
Papitt smiled and replied, "As you think." Although I don't know his exact age, he has lived for at least a few hundred years. After all, no one knows how old he was when he met the first duke......"
Not every magician lives long. But a magician who can live a long life must have approached the truth of the world.
Eric suddenly felt that Mr. Qiu was not the strongest existence in the six-pointed star. This old Kiran who has lived for an unknown amount of time is.
