Chapter 61: Secret
"I really don't know about this, he never told us his name, even the title 'mage' is a code name given by Dafen and Redstone, we don't know his name, we don't know what he looks like, we don't know his race, we don't know where he came from, we don't even know if he's a soul cultivator or a life cultivator. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But even though we don't know everything about him, we still trust him. Queen Beyoncé smiled at this, as if she herself thought the answer was ridiculous. "Still, he didn't live up to our trust in any case. ”
Listening to Queen Beyoncé's words, the three of them couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't expect that the "mage" to be so mysterious, and Queen Beyoncé still didn't know anything about him after being with him for several months.
"Okay, don't think about it anymore, Lan Yiwen, you accept this crystal box, maybe you will have a chance to meet him in the future. In his words, the time will come naturally. Oh, by the way, go to the study and look for Birrell before leaving, he seems to have something to say to you. ”
Seeing that Queen Beyoncé seemed to have the intention of expelling customers, even though Lan Yiwen still had many questions in his heart, he had to get up and leave.
"Queen, there are many disturbances today, and you are afraid that you are also very tired, so we will take our leave. "Although Queen Beyoncé has always seemed approachable today, Lan Yiwen's proper courtesy is still indispensable.
I have to say that Queen Beyoncé's approachable and almost girlish mentality left a deep impression on Lan Yiwen and Wei'er, so much so that Lan Yiwen had the illusion of heaven to hell when he thought of dealing with the old fox Morster IV again for a while.
Coming out of the queen's place, the three of them walked directly to Morster IV's study, first, Morster IV wanted to see Lan Yiwen, and secondly, Lan Yiwen also bid him farewell, hoping that he could open the door to the star field.
Walking on the road leading to Morster IV's study, Lan Yiwen could feel that there were significantly more guards than in other places.
If it weren't for Daiya, Lan Yiwen and Wei'er would probably not be able to walk a few steps before they were surrounded by those elite guards.
The three of them came to the door of the study, but they saw the chief of the guard, Sithro, was guarding the door with his arms crossed, although he was severely injured by the white-clothed Hill when he was in the martial arts arena, but with his strong physique and the full rescue of the Sea Emperor Palace, he actually saved his life. Although he had only just woken up and his body had not yet recovered, he still insisted on coming to defend the king.
"Lord Sithro, my father wants to summon Lan Yiwen, so I brought him to meet my father. Seeing the chief guard, Daiya took the initiative to greet her, and she dodged away and let Lan Yiwen come so that Sithro could see him clearly. For this man who swore to protect his father to the death, Daiya was very respectful no matter what.
"Hearing the words 'Lan Yiwen'. Sithro's eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp eyes looked at the smiling, light-hearted dark-haired human behind Diana, the man who had slipped into the palace under his nose and caused a catastrophe.
However, although Siathrow had a bad impression of Lan Yiwen, he still dodged away and said lukewarmly: "Mr. Lan Yiwen, His Majesty the King is waiting for you inside. ”
Lan Yiwen naturally didn't know about Silo's bad senses, of course, if he knew, he wouldn't care, seeing him get out of the way, Lan Yiwen nodded slightly and walked past him to the study.
Seeing Lan Yiwen go first, Weier and Daiya hurriedly followed.
"Wait, His Majesty the King is just seeing Mr. Lan Yiwen alone. Sithro stretched out his arm to block Daiya and Wei'er, who were following behind Lan Yiwen.
"Siathrow, can't even me enter?" Hearing Silo's words, Daiya was stunned, if there was anything to say, the father could only say it to Lan Yiwen alone.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, Your Majesty has specifically ordered it before, but I saw Mr. Lan Yiwen alone. Speaking of this, Sithro owes a debt, and it seems that he is apologizing for his own rudeness.
"Oh well. Seeing that Sithro was resolute, presumably it was Morst IV who had really ordered her, Daiya had to give up the idea of going in together, she looked at Lan Yiwen with a little worry, but saw his reassuring eyes.
"Don't worry, Wei'er, you don't have to wait here, Daiya wants to trouble you to take Wei'er back to rest first. I will go back after talking to His Majesty the King. ”
"But ......," Daiya looked at Lan Yiwen hesitantly
"Okay, relax. He couldn't help but laugh at the worried looks of Vile and Deya. This Morster IV's study is not Longtan Tiger's Den, why bother, of course, he didn't dare to say this in front of Sithro.
Pushing open the tall door made of logs, Lan Yiwen stepped into the center of the power of the Mingyuan Kingdom without hesitation.
At this time, the man who was in the center of power in the Mingyuan Kingdom was sitting upright behind the wide desk, and his slightly cloudy but wise eyes were looking at Lan Yiwen, showing the dignity of the king.
See the old king. Lan Yiwen just smiled, he grew up on the earth since he was a child, and naturally he didn't have the kind of awe for royal power, and his speech was naturally much more casual. "His Majesty looks much better than he did a few days ago. ”
Listening to Lan Yiwen's words, Morster IV smiled helplessly: "It's just thanks to Lord Biluo, it's just that he is still breathing." Not to mention this, I came to you today mainly to ask about the Magic Center. ”
Knowing that Biluo and the two dragon beasts of molten fire belong to "strategic weapons", Lan Yiwen didn't ask much, he told the old king in detail about his experience in the underground from beginning to end, of course, Arnold, Augustus's matter was hidden by him, those were just trivial matters, if the old king didn't ask specifically, Lan Yiwen was naturally not allowed to answer in particular.
After listening to Lan Yiwen's words, Morster IV didn't say a word, he used his bony hand to gently trace the knife-like wrinkles on his forehead, obviously deep in thought.
After a long time, Morster IV sighed faintly and said, "I don't know how much you know about the water tribe?"
Although Morster IV asked unclearly, Lan Yiwen understood what he was talking about, and he couldn't help but be silent, he wasn't sure that he seemed to should say it.
Seeing Lan Yiwen's appearance, the old king coughed twice and said, "It's okay, just say whatever you know." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the Aqua should have a homologous relationship with the Terrans, or even the Terrans. Lan Yiwen had all kinds of doubts in his heart, although he also had some concerns, but he still didn't hold back and say it.
"Oh, why did you make that assumption?"
"In fact, when I first came to the Mingyuan Star Domain, I felt a strong sense of familiarity, both the image and social form of the Aqua people are very similar to the human beings in my impression, of course, I didn't know where this feeling came from at the time, I could only blame it on illusory imagination. Later, when I heard that the coming-of-age ceremony of the Aqua people was actually to transform their legs, I was even more surprised, knowing that there was no reason for the Aqua people living in the water world to have the ability to transform their legs.
Later, I accidentally fell into the poison of the sea crying vine, so I learned about the existence of the magic center, and I was even more surprised when I heard that the last layer of the magic center was a lore array that only allowed the human race to pass through, since it was the most important place in your Mingyuan Kingdom, how could Morst I set up a magic array that forbade you to enter. So in the end, I guess that you Aqua people were once humans, but for some reason they ended up on this planet and conjured up their legs. ”
Listening to Lan Yiwen's words, Morster IV was a little surprised, he looked at Lan Yiwen unexpectedly and said: "I didn't expect that with such a little clue, you can actually deduce the biggest secret of my water tribe, which is really impressive." ”
"It's not very difficult. Hearing Morster IV's praise, Lan Yiwen only smiled slightly, but he was not very complacent in his heart. In fact, his speculations are just guesses, and some are even more subjective assumptions, but because his imagination is very rich, he makes up such a result by his own brain. However, this is a world dominated by magical civilization, and even if Lan Yiwen thinks so, it will not be too outrageous.
Morster IV seemed to be amazed by Lan Yiwen's amazing intelligence, and it took a long time before he spoke.
"Now that you already know, I don't have to hide it from you. The ancestor himself was puzzled by the coming-of-age ceremony of our water tribe, and after he was willing to investigate, he finally learned the huge secret of the water tribe in a certain ruin.
Although the ancestor didn't know who Jiujing used to cover up such a huge secret, he secretly made a decision. That is to restore the Aqua people to human beings.
In the decades that followed, our ancestors fought for this goal. Because he knew that the Shui people had long been accustomed to underwater life, and when the submarine volcano erupted, he took this opportunity to establish this land royal capital, intending to make the people accustomed to life on land. However, he was full of enthusiasm, but he ignored the reaction of the Sea Emperor Hall and even the people of the Water Tribe. After he established the royal capital, except for those who loyally followed him for the founding feats of the country, none of the Shui people were willing to go to land. It was in the following years that people gradually set foot on land for the sake of trade exchanges, and some people gradually remembered that they could also transform their legs and walk on land. ”
Lan Yiwen listened to Morster IV talk about the secrets of the water tribe in one breath, and at the same time he suddenly realized, he couldn't help but wonder. I don't know why the old king told him this.
As if seeing Lan Yiwen's doubts, Morster IV continued: "Speaking of which, this disaster can only be survived thanks to your help. It's just that this aquarium is a human being, after all, the stakes are high. ”
Hearing the old king say this, Lan Yiwen subconsciously became vigilant, could this be to kill people and kill people.
Seeing Lan Yiwen like this, how could Morst IV not know what he was thinking, only to see him gently wave his thin hand and say: "Lan Yiwen, you don't need to be nervous, I won't be unfavorable to you in any way, it's just that the matter is very important, and I must be cautious." As he spoke, Morster IV slowly took out a box from the desk drawer, opened the lid and pushed it towards Lan Yiwen.
Lan Yiwen looked at the wooden box from a distance, and saw that there were three things neatly placed inside, a scroll, and a token that was the mechanism token that should have been in Daiya's hand.
"What does this mean?" Lan Yiwen looked at the old king, and his heart was actually clear, this was probably the legendary hush money.
"This is a trustworthy contract from the abyss, I want you to sign it and promise never to tell anyone about the secrets of the water tribe, you must already know what that token is, but I didn't expect the soul mage Augustus to be alive and occupy the body of the eight-winged rainbow. I have passed on its contract to you, and from now on it will obey your commands. ”
As soon as he had finished speaking, the old king leaned back on the big chair, presumably because he had already spent too much effort on his part just now.
After listening to the old king's words, Lan Yiwen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and couldn't help but curse this old fox in his heart. In fact, Lan Yiwen had long expected that as a king, Morster IV would definitely not be able to believe his verbal promise. And the transfer of the mechanism token that belonged to Daiya to himself was completely the performance of the old king's chicken thief.
Morster IV knew that Augustus was not sincere in surrender, and sooner or later there would be chaos, so it was better to borrow flowers and offer Buddha to throw it to Lan Yiwen to give him a headache. On the surface, it is also a big gift.
Even though he was a little unhappy in his heart, Lan Yiwen still signed the contract and took the token, Augustus was still very useful at a critical time. After saying goodbye to the old king who was lying on the big chair and pretending to sleep, Lan Yiwen left by himself, still facing Sithro when he left, looking at his scrutinizing gaze, Lan Yiwen just smiled, and left the palace under the escort of the guards.
Daiya was very reluctant to let Lan Yiwen, Wei'er and Arnold leave, but she also knew that Lan Yiwen didn't belong here after all. Naturally, instead of being dissatisfied with the old king's gift of the token to Lan Yiwen, she showed an apologetic look, obviously knowing her father's considerations.
Seeing Daiya feel so guilty, Lan Yiwen was a little embarrassed.
When he stepped on the portal, Lan Yiwen turned his head and met Daiya's eyes full of friendship, Lan Yiwen's heart trembled and finally sighed secretly, after all, it was just a fate.
After thinking about it, Lan Yiwen strode across the gate of the star field.
