Red Pupil Section 39 The Chamber of Secrets
It didn't take much for Elvis to discover the secrets of the temple. Frankly speaking, his attainments in the magic array are very deep, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a "genius", and Carbon delayed him.
There are a total of 360 "array eyes" that penetrate the magic power, scattered in every corner of the temple library, seemingly irregular, but in fact, they are secretly in line with the stars of the night sky. Elvis calculated that by blindfolding seven specific void eyes with glutinous rice paper, the parchment library could be separated from the magic circle and become a separate part, unaffected by "Kethera's Guardian".
Thousands of years ago, the high priests of the ancient Phryns did the same, and this was the only way to do it.
With long nights and dreams, Elvis decided to open the Chamber of Secrets as soon as possible in search of the legendary artifact, the Bloodthirsty Bow. He was anxious that the magic bow would allow him to escape his career as a spy and return to Carbon to continue to enjoy the benefits of power and study his obsessed magic.
Catch ducks on the shelves, he is actually not suitable to be a spy. Elvis is a man with a story, but he has a tight mouth and never talks about it.
Zeni spent every day in the parchment library, often staying up all night, and we were forced to adjust our plans to take his factors into account.
Elvis said lightly: "It's okay to keep it, it can be used as a test subject, in case there is a trap gas or something in the secret room, let him try it first." When it's done—" He raised his hand in a downward slashing gesture and smiled coldly.
His smile was sinister, and I even suspected that if he had the chance, he would have killed me along and took all the credit.
Late that night, Elvis covered his eyes with sticky rice paper, and the sound of whimpering seemed to change subtly, and he nodded at me, and I picked up an oversized crowbar and strode into the parchment library.
In the dim candlelight, Zeny was intently studying the sketch on his desk when he heard footsteps, and he looked up at me in amazement.
"It's me, Dino, I've brought a new crowbar, try again."
"I'm afraid it won't work." Zeni said with a sad face, "I always felt that something was wrong......
Before he could finish speaking, I grabbed a crowbar and thrust it into the crack in the stone.
This time, the tip of the crowbar sank deep into the stone wall, and the wall shook slightly, as if overwhelmed. Zeny was dumbfounded, barely believing his eyes.
With the strength of my arms, I pried out the tightly fitting granite pieces one by one, and finally revealed a swarthy entrance to the chamber.
Zeny became excited, he eagerly picked up the candle and stretched out his arm into the secret room—the flame shook inward, as if it had been extinguished by an invisible hand, and he didn't have time to see anything.
I fumbled and lit another candle and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Zeny pondered for a moment, patted his thigh and said, "Yes, it is recorded in history that the magicians of Gufrin would fill the trunk with the exhaust gas from burning charcoal to prevent insects and ants from biting and destroying valuables. This chamber must have undergone a similar treatment, and the contents contained in it were extremely valuable and prone to decay! ”
"Perishable? What would that be? "My hunch grew stronger and stronger that the item hidden in the Chamber of Secrets was not the legendary Bloodthirsty Bow.
"Maybe it's a magic book or something—you'll have to read it!" Zeni was impatient, and raised the heavy parchment book with both hands to fan the wind desperately, allowing the outside air to continue to pour into the secret room.
After about three or five minutes, he tried again with the burning candle, and this time, the flame was not extinguished. Zeny immediately rushed in, not thinking about the danger.
It's really a reckless guy, and it doesn't take much persuasion to automatically take on the role of a test subject.
"Oh my God, it's an ancient magic spell!" From the other end of the stone wall came Zeni's muffled exclamation.
I leaned down and looked, and the chamber was empty, dimly lit. Zeni's back blocked my view, and he seemed to be standing in front of a white stone platform, reaching for something.
Elvis couldn't hold back any longer, and he tiptoed into the stacks, his eyes glinting with greed.
My heart throbbed, my pupils constricted, and my fingers trembled slightly. Do it now? Or is it a little later? Elvis's vital point was completely exposed before my eyes, and I had no defense, and if I wanted to, I could kill him with a simple blow. The question is, is there a need for this? I'm still hesitating.
He pulled a shiny short knife from his waist and hid sideways at the entrance to the chamber, as if intending to cut Zeni's throat. Thoughts raced through my mind and I suddenly shook my head at him. Elvis looked at me quizzically, wondering why I was merciful.
At that moment, Zeny emerged unsuspectingly out of the chamber with a smile on his face. Without waiting for him to realize, I threw my fist hard into the back of the head, and he immediately collapsed to the ground like an empty cloth bag, unconscious.
"Why don't you kill this piece of waste?" Elvis muttered and leaned down to search him.
He pulled out an ancient magic book from Zeni's chest, opened the first page casually, looked at it by the candlelight for a moment, and suddenly froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning, his pupils dilated, and he stammered in an excited voice, "Red pupils...... See through ...... The fog of the future! That's the sinister black magic of Guflin's legends! ”
My heart was beating violently, and I forced my composure: "Elvis, don't forget that Prince Mars wants the Bloodthirsty Demon Bow, and the Black Magic Book can only be regarded as a windfall. ”
"Yes, yes, the Bloodthirsty Bow......" Elvis recovered from his ecstasy, he burrowed into the chamber and searched carefully, finding nothing but the altar where the magic book was kept.
Then, just as he came out unprepared, I easily knocked him unconscious.
The mage's body is too fragile.
