Chapter 196: Wonderful Night at the Museum
On the shore, not far from the lake, is the entrance to the museum.
Along the middle line of the lake is the main entrance of the museum, which is closed, and there is a slightly lower side gate on the left and right. There are wooden sills, stone steps, and tall dark red pillars under the door, and the eaves and arches on the door, and there are owls kissing under the eaves, and they open their big mouths to the moon, and the moonlight slides down from the sky like flowing water, and pours into the mouth of the little dragon.
"The main entrance is not open for major festivals or important visitors," Xiao Xiao led everyone to the side door on the left, and explained in a low voice: "From now on, until you are in front of that mirror, you don't have to speak, and I will negotiate." ”
Zheng Qinggang wanted to ask him what he was negotiating at night, when he heard a strong wind blowing overhead, and at the same time, a rough voice broke the silence in front of the museum:
"Visitors stop!"
Swish!
The five-person team stopped in unison.
In the dark doorway, a figure dressed in colorful battle armor, with a majestic face, and holding a golden war halberd, walked out. Zheng Qing had seen this figure in many places in the school, but in those places, this figure was hung on the door or left on red paper, it was small, and it did not have the powerful oppressive force emanating from the body in front of him.
It is the left door god god.
Where there is a left door god, there must be a right door god.
Zheng Qing's gaze fixed on Shen Di for a few seconds, and immediately turned his head to look at the side door on the right. Although there was silence in the doorway on the right, Zheng Qing vaguely saw behind the stone steps in front of the door on the right, revealing a big hairy head and a pair of big golden eyes, looking curiously at this side.
That should be the golden-eyed white tiger raised by Yu Lei, the young public-funded student secretly thought in his heart.
Xiao Xiao stepped forward, handed the temporary pass and student card to Shen Di, and replied respectfully: "We are volunteers from the school, and we were seconded by the museum to sort out a batch of exhibits that were put into storage earlier yesterday. ”
Two red glints bloomed in the eyes of the door god, and landed on the two cards.
"Come to work at night?" Seeing that the formalities were complete, Shen Di returned the card to Xiao Xiao, scratched his head, his face was full of confusion, and turned his head to the other side and shouted, "Do you want to let go?"
"That's your business. There was a sound of an urn in the door hole on the right, and the urn suddenly sounded: "...... If they confirm that they are going to enter the museum on the big night, and the formalities are in place, there is no reason to keep them out. ”
The golden-eyed white tiger whined in approval.
Shen Tu shook his head, looked at the young wizards, and reconfirmed, "Are you really going in? It's not daylight...... Not a good time to work. ”
The young wizards nodded their heads in unison, silently expressing their attitudes.
The door god sighed: "Okay...... Provide relevant documents and queue up to enter in order. ”
When Zheng Qing stuffed the pass and student card into Shen Di's hand, the tentacles were cold and hard, and when he looked up, the door god's face was blue and gray, and his expression was a little dull, and he realized that this door god was a stone man.
"I almost thought it was real just now!" Zheng Qing hurriedly advanced, leaned into Xiao Xiao's ear, and whispered: "Such a delicate alchemy puppet, why don't the school configure more?"
Xiao Xiao turned his head and glared at him viciously, and at the same time raised his hand and made a zipper movement on the side of his mouth.
The young public-funded student took a step behind and closed his mouth quietly.
The team silently walked through the doorway.
Behind him, the last admonition of the gods came: "...... Keep in mind that the use of mass and lethal magic, chases, and teleportation is forbidden in the museum...... Violation of the relevant regulations will be punished in accordance with the "Regulations for the Management of the Museum of the History of Magic of the First University......"
Xiao Xiao had already said these words to everyone in advance.
The whole hunting party was silent, passing through the narrow doorway, bypassing the patio behind the door, and entering the first exhibition hall along the left corridor. Zheng Qing didn't see the name of this exhibition hall, but judging from the exhibits displayed from the entrance, this should belong to the exhibition hall of the prehistoric and barbaric era.
Petrified fangs lie quietly in velvet cushions, quaint jade jue emits a faint cold light in the dark, tortoise shells engraved with simple runes, perforated animal bones, and black animal skins that have been eaten out by insects.
The slight footsteps of young wizards echoed through the halls.
As we go deeper and deeper into the museum, the magic that emanates from the exhibits in the exhibition hall grows stronger.
The first quaint immortal fire, the eternal flame that never goes out, still radiates a warm light after burning for tens of thousands of years, the first movable spring, placed in a bronze tripod, from which the clear spring water gushes out, gathers into the thickness of chopsticks, bubbles, and finally disappears into the water outlet of the booth, as well as the bear skins that the ancient Druids needed to perform Transfiguration, the strips of dry yellow linen that the Egyptians used to bind the mummies, the skull of the Minotaur that Theseus killed in Crete, and so on.
The variety of exhibits dazzled the guests and made them almost unable to move.
When the hunting team was once again attracted by a glowing stone mirror in the oblique exhibition hall, Xiao Xiao, as the team leader, had to stop and warn everyone: "If we follow your speed, we won't be able to reach our destination in the middle of the night today...... The museum has always been here, so why don't you come and visit it during the day?"
"There was no time. Zheng Qing reluctantly took his gaze back from a golden mask of an Egyptian pharaoh and muttered, "Classes, libraries, hunting team training, school punishment of voluntary labor, D&K management...... And the mess. ”
At the end, he couldn't help but sigh heavily.
I've never heard of a first-year student having so much to do.
"Only the dead don't have time. Xiao Xiao criticized unceremoniously: "Even the pharaohs in the pyramid have time to cut their nails and tidy up the shroud hanging on their bodies. ”
"That mirror doesn't shine during the day. Fat Xin also raised his quill and retorted in a low voice.
Zheng Qing looked at Jiang Yu and expected her to support her point of view.
But he found that the witch was frowning, looking into the depths of the exhibition hall, and at some point she had picked up the open spell book in her hand, and strings of magic spells flowed slowly between the pages, like a swarm of ants foraging for food.
Zheng Qing followed the witch's gaze, and as far as the eye could see, it was dark and dark, and there was nothing abnormal.
"What are you looking at?" he whispered.
The witch shook her head, her tone a little uncertain: "I always think I heard something just now...... Didn't you hear? It looks like somebody is whispering over there. ”
This answer immediately aroused the vigilance of the entire hunting team.
Everyone took out the law book and prepared for the eventuality. But after watching it for a long time, there was still silence in the darkness, and there was no movement at all.
