Chapter 151: A 'Door'
"Yes, you and Xiao Hai are the ones I grew up seeing, and you are both fools, but Xiao Hai still has a quarter of the Star Spirit Realm bloodline in his body, and there is still a risk in inheriting the secret art crystal. And Xiaoxue, you are pure fool's blood. The old man looked at Lin Xue and said lovingly.
No wonder Lin Hai can not be hunted down in the game!
After hearing this, Mu You understood, it turned out that Lin Hai still had a part of the star spirit bloodline on his body, and those pursuers were afraid that they would treat him as a local because of this.
The old man looked at the canary again at this time and said, "Mentor Vivian, Xiaoxue is one of my favorite granddaughters, and I plan to hand over the inheritance of Pisces to her, and after I leave, she will ask you to help take care of one or two." ”
"Grandma'......"
Lin Xue's eyes turned red again, even after Mu You's persuasion just now, she had been relieved a lot about this matter, but at this moment, when she suddenly heard the old man's words, tears still couldn't be suppressed in an instant.
"Hehe, Xiaoxue, don't be sad, grandma has lived long enough. Today, my grandmother entrusted the inheritance, and I also met Mentor Vivian, and all my thoughts have been settled, and now I have no regrets at all. It is no exaggeration to say that today is the happiest day I have ever had in most of my life, and there is nothing to be sad about. The old man looked at the choked Lin Xue with a smile, and his eyes were only full of relief and relief.
"Don't worry, your heir, I will treat it as my own." Vivien glanced at Lin Xue and nodded.
"That's good...... the old man smiled and sighed, then looked at Mu You again.
"Besides, young man, I have something to ask you for."
"Oh, you say." Mu You said busily.
"There's one thing, something very important, that I need to give out before I leave. Originally, Xiaoxue was alone, I didn't worry, but now that you are here, and Mentor Vivien is tutoring you, I can finally entrust you with confidence. ”
"What is it?" Mu You was a little curious, what could the old man say so solemnly.
"A door."
"Door?"
"Yes, a door that opens on the wall." The old man added.
"You mean...... That 'wall'? "Mu You was surprised for a while, the wall that the old man specifically mentioned here was obviously the 'high wall' that was invisible and shadowless, but pervasive, separating the wall of the two worlds between the Star Spirit Realm and the Earth.
And the door that opens on the wall...... Doesn't that mean that this is an entrance to the two realms at any time?
"That's right."
The old man smiled, "Don't you wonder how I came to this world?" ”
Of course, Mu You was curious, but he was shocked by the curse of black magic just now, and he didn't have time to ask.
"This is known as the Forgotten Land that is completely isolated from magic, but even a long time ago, before the walls were loosened, there was still a thin magic here, because there is no absolutely airtight wall in the world, and if there is a wall, there will be a door, which is also one of the rules of nature. Even the Wall of the Two Realms is no exception, such a large wall, in order to maintain long-term stability, there must always be some venting points, and these venting points will appear in the form of 'doors'. ”
"Wait a minute, so there are ...... 'doors'?" Mu You was surprised, listening to the old man's meaning, the door is not unique, but there are many such 'venting points' in various places along the wall.
"Yes, but the 'door' is not that easy to find, and there are many restrictions on using the 'door'."
The old man shook his head: "Come and take a look with me." ”
Then, with the support of Mu You and Lin Xue, the old man was helped into the wheelchair, and Lin Xue pushed the wheelchair, and the four of them left the house, followed the elevator of the villa, and went down to the warehouse on the second floor of the basement.
Later, under the guidance of the old man, an extremely secret dark passage was found in the underground warehouse, and it was closed by a magic lock, which ordinary people couldn't see at all, and Mu You used several lock-picking spells to unlock it.
This place didn't even know that Lin Xue, who had grown up here with her grandmother since she was a child, obviously existed before the manor was established.
Several people followed the old man's guidance and went all the way down the dusty passage until they came to a secret room more than twenty meters deep.
The chamber was filled with a damp and rotten smell because of the long confinement.
However, at this time, several people did not pay attention to this, and after entering the door, they immediately saw the 'door' in the center of the secret room.
"This is ...... 'door'?"
Lin Xue pushed her glasses with some curiosity.
In front of them, there was an old-fashioned red hinged door, which looked similar to an ordinary security door, made of a bit like red nanmu and a bit like painted metal.
It looked like a door that had been violently removed from a wall, surrounded by uneven tiles, and a cement-like substance stuck to the floor, allowing the door to stand firmly in place.
Mu You noticed that the star spirit runes on this door, which were invisible to the naked eye, were like seals, and there were many prohibitions. Until these prohibitions are lifted, this is a door that has already been sealed.
"Yes, the door can't be stored in any spatial equipment, and when I came to the Forgotten Lands, I had to use what little magic I had left, to seal it up as much as possible, and then buried it deep underground."
In the wheelchair, the old man sighed and looked at the canary on Mu You's shoulder: "Mentor Vivian, my sealing technique is not good, please seal it first, this thing is a little dangerous to expose." ”
The canary nodded and looked at Mu You: "Make a blank secret card and put it under the door." ”
"Okay."
Mu You didn't know what Vivian was going to do, so he immediately condensed a secret card in his hands, and walked to the ground in front of the door as Vivian instructed.
When he approached the door, he suddenly felt a cold and piercing breath rushing towards his face, which felt somewhat familiar, Mu You quickly recalled that when he rescued the child protected by the Blood Emperor in the early morning, what he felt from the other party was a very similar aura in front of him.
Mu You immediately guessed that that child probably also had a 'door'.
In addition, at this time, from the inside of the door, there seemed to be a whisper like an illusion, constantly attracting Mu You to open the door and walk in.
Mu You shook his head, hurriedly calmed his mind, and those whispers disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Back in the rear, Grandma Lin Xue looked at him and smiled: "The door will have some demagogic characteristics, just be careful not to be affected by it." ”
"Okay." Mu You nodded.
By this time, Vivien had flown to the door, waving her wings and unleashing some kind of spell.
Mu You only felt that the magic power in his body was drained a lot, and then, the door flowed on the ground like a soft painting, and finally poured into the cards.
When Mu You picked up the card again, he found that there was an extra door in the card, which was lifelike, like a photo, and directly 'photographed' the door into the card.
"This door was discovered by Mentor Vivien. The Wizarding Guild launched a crusade against the twelve of us, and we won that battle, but it was a pyrrhic victory. All 12 of us were seriously injured, and the curse was severely deepened by the overuse of the dark arts, and we had to disperse to find a place to pass it on. ”
"And Mentor Vivien had a chance of surviving, but she left the chance to enter the door for me, and she attracted the pursuers herself......"
The old man recalled with emotion: "Moreover, there are restrictions on passing through the door, the door can only be opened once every ten days, lasting twenty-four hours, during this period, the creatures of both worlds can pass through the door and go to the other side to move freely, but they must come back within twenty-four hours, otherwise, they will be trapped in another world, and at the same time they will be constrained by the wall, and they will lose their life every day after passing through the door, one year on the first day, and two years on the second day...... And so on, the longer you stay in another world, the more life you lose. ”
"This attrition will not stop until all the lifespans that do not belong to oneself, that is, those that have been plundered from other living beings, are completely deprived."
"I see."
Only then did Mu You know that there was a distinction between 'own' and 'plundered' in lifespan.
After passing through the door, they will be continuously deprived of their life, but only the part of their life that does not belong to them.
The old man has stayed on the earth for nearly a hundred years, and even if she has a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, she has long been sucked dry and wiped clean by the rules of the wall, leaving only her own decades of life, and she has lived until now, and finally came to an end.
No wonder Vivian didn't mention refining life-prolonging potions for the old man at the beginning, this kind of lifespan supplemented by potions also does not belong to her, and it will be directly sucked away if it is replenished.
The old man didn't seem to care about these at all, and after saying this with a smile, he looked at Mu You: "Young man, this door will be delivered to you from now on." You have to remember that as long as you don't open it, the door is safe. ”
"However, if you want to use it and unlock the seal on it, you will become the 'opener' of this door, unless you keep it for more than a year and do not touch this door, the identity of the person who opened the door will be canceled and you will become the ownerless door again, otherwise, in the future, only you, the person who opened the door, can open and close this door."
"At that time, you will have to take on the responsibility of guarding this door, and do not let the creatures of the astral realm break into your world through the door, it will be a disaster."
