Chapter 82: The Strange Palace

According to the rat prime minister, when Queen Medusa was asleep, this prime minister was the first leader in this so-called "evil eye kingdom......

With such a hostage, or rather a coerced companion, the three of Dewey, plus a rat-like figure, set out together towards Queen Medusa's underground palace.

Along the way, all the ground rats turned around and ran away when they saw these people, which deeply confirmed the famous saying "holding the head of the rat and running away...... It seems that from ancient times to the present, it is very worthy of the name to describe timid people as "rat gall".

Of course, there were not only rats in this animal kingdom, but also crows, which Gargamel's spies had made with only a little magic, and these flat-haired beasts would only hover in the air and croak, "Outsiders!

Gargamel saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in pain: "Alas, this knight, don't you know how much effort and experiments I have spent to train these crows to keep watch and teach them to speak......

Du Wei couldn't help but be a little curious: "How did you teach these crows to speak?"

Gargamel smiled: "I'm a transfiguration artist, so I naturally know the most about living things, and I've been studying animals for the first half of my life, not to mention a crow, even if it's a horse......

"I remember telling you that if I heard you lie again, I'd cut off your mouse's head." Hussein coldly interrupted the rat's self-aggrandizement, and the knight said lightly: "Do you think I can't see through it? Those crows can't speak at all, but you have changed their voices with magic. Crows are not intelligent, but they have at least animal instincts, they can distinguish between those who know and those who don't, and they will scream when they encounter outsiders. You magically transform their voices, and these crows don't speak human words at all. It's just that your cries have been changed by you to pronounce them like 'outsiders'. If you don't believe the earth, let the rat command the crows to say something else, and if the crows can't say it, I'll cut off the rat's head at once!"

As soon as these words came out, Gargamel obediently closed his mouth. Du Wei snickered in his heart, but he was also quite interested in Gargamel's whimsy. It turned out that it was just a magical way to modify the crow's vocal cords and tongue.

Du Wei thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Gargamel, in fact, I understand your thoughts, you were originally a human, but now you have become an animal, and the most annoying thing in your heart is that you are regarded as an animal that can speak human language, and you are regarded as a monster, so although you live in this uninhabited place, you can't help but want to make all the animals around you can speak human language, so that it seems that you are not alone, right?"

Gargamel heard this, and although he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but show a little emotion in his eyes when he looked at Du Wei.

Inside the canyon, there are two more walls that have been built, and this wall is tall and majestic, and it looks imposing! Although it is simply piled up with some large stones, it looks a little crude, but it is high enough to be big!

"We have a lot of strong slaves, and there are a lot of treants in the canyon, all of whom have been petrified by Queen Medusa. Not only will they turn to stone if they are petrified by Medusa, but they can also bring you to life if she wants to, but they will become a stone slave, a walking corpse with no consciousness of their own, and they will simply obey her orders." Gargamel couldn't help but shudder: "This is the most terrible thing, even if you die, you can't rest in peace."

Du Wei sighed: "This should be one of Queen Medusa's terrifying magical abilities, right? If she wants to, she can form a stone army by looking at some people or magical beasts."

"I've never doubted that, if she's willing, she can turn the entire Frozen Forest into stone slaves." Gargamel sighed.

Du Wei suddenly asked, "Why has such a powerful Queen Medusa been living in seclusion in such a canyon? The frozen forest is so big, but her territory has always been only such a small canyon?"

Du Wei began to think, but then, walking up a ramp and turning a corner, they finally saw Queen Medusa's palace!

This palace is as high as the hillsides on both sides, and the main building is not made of stone, but wood! Du Wei immediately recalled the words of Old Wood, the leader of the Terran Clan, outside, this palace was built from the bodies of several real Treptirs.

Gargamel stopped and hesitated, "Do you really want to go in?" The Rat Chancellor couldn't help but roll his eyes and look around, as if he was ready to find an opportunity to escape.

"It's the ground." Hussein gave it a cold look: "You too."

Gargamel groaned and pleaded, "You have to go in and find it."

If you get angry, I will be punished! I was angry with her, and she turned me to stone me for a month!"

"Do you think she will have a chance to punish you in the future?" Du Wei frowned: "Do you think that after a few of us go in, we will definitely be killed by her?"

Gargamel didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was clearly like this, but it quickly saw the anger on the knight's face, and quickly added: "I haven't seen a human in many years, and I don't want you to die in vain. That ghost thing is useless. Look at me, I've drunk a lot of that ghost spring water, but what good have I got?"

"We're not here for the springs." Du Wei said lightly: "We want to get the eyes of Medusadi...... Wasn't she a golden-eyed python once upon a time?"

"......Oh my God," Gargamel groaned again, but this time he looked at Du Wei and the three of them almost as if he were looking at three psychos and dead people.

No matter how unwilling the rat prime minister was, Hussein mentioned it anyway, or forcibly brought it on. Du Wei and Dardanelle both put on "sunglasses", and Hussein, who was originally arrogant, although his face was very cold, but after all, he was also a smart person, and he would not be unafraid of Medusa's strength.

Pushing open the gate of the high earth palace in front of them, a gust of yīn wind immediately blew out of the door, and the cold air was pressing.

In the spacious hall, the most eye-catching thing is a giant statue in front of it.The main body of the statue is a beautiful woman, with long curly hair, although it is only a stone carving.But this woman's appearance is very clear,The eyebrows are charming.The pointed chin,Very seductive taste,But the expression is too indifferent,Charming,More than three points yīn evil qi.Her body is almost naked.But there are a few big snakes coiled on her body,Covering several key parts.The big snakes are even more lifelike,Raise your head and spit letters, Showing sharp fangs.

The statue was obviously a little mysteriously seductive and dangerous. Du Wei glanced at it, then turned back to the mouse prime minister and smiled, "This must be your masterpiece, right? Can't Medusa herself carve it? I can't see that you have a good craft of carving."

Gargamel smiled bitterly, "I've been in this canyon for twenty years, even if I don't know anything, twenty years is enough time for me to learn a lot."

Bypassing the stone carvings of this hall, there is a door behind it, after pushing the door open, I saw a straight passage going inside, Du Wei stood at the door and glanced at it, and immediately frowned: "Well, this is a magic array. Gargamel, this is also the place where you taught her, right?"

Looking inside from this doorway, the passage is almost bottomless, and the distance seems endless...... But how can a palace be so big? Apparently it was enchanted by its master, which turned this passage into a very useful defensive facility, and if a person who did not know magic walked in, he would keep going forward, endlessly, and never want to reach the end.

"This is actually using magic to deceive your eyes and senses.If you just walk in, you think you've gone far, but in fact, you're just stepping in the original step.A small ground barrier is very simple to break, just close your eyes......" Du Wei said this, suddenly paused, showed a very thoughtful expression, and whispered meaningfully: "Yi...... The most terrifying weapon of this Queen Medusa is her gaze, but the magic array she has set up makes all the outsiders who enter the place close their eyes, isn't she giving up a most powerful weapon?"

Or maybe you just don't want to hurt your own people by mistake, right?

Du Wei immediately gave an explanation in his heart.

Then, the three of them closed their eyes and walked into the passage.Du Wei is very sensitive, Hussein is close to the strength level of the paladin, he has a keen sense, and there is not much difference between opening and closing his eyes.And Dardanelle will naturally have no problem following the two, and Gargamel is used to this.

After entering the passage, this magic array really lost its effect, and after a while, the current Hussein touched the handle of the second door, but after pushing it open, the three of them opened their eyes, but they were stunned......

After the second door...... It's all black! There's no light!!

"There's no light in the back." Gargamel whispered, "Unless you bring your own torches."

"It's always been like this?" said Du Wei to the rat prime minister.

After receiving Gargamel's affirmative answer, Du Wei suddenly smiled, and smiled meaningfully.

"This Queen Medusa, it's strange...... If it was a coincidence that the magic array made people close their eyes, but it was arranged in darkness, as if she was afraid that someone would break in by mistake and be petrified by her! Wasn't she worried that a hostile guy from outside would break in?
