Chapter 5: The Castle Tower

"Meihong, who did you ask Wenwen to call? It can't really be Marisa, right? ”

In the end, Wu Ye couldn't help but ask this question curiously, and Wu Ye could think of a lot of people that Mei Hong could want to call at this juncture, but after careful consideration, he ruled them out.

"Tsk, that's stupid, Wuya."

The god mysteriously played around, and the trust and curiosity on Wu Ye's face were almost grinded, and then Mei Hong spoke: "Didn't I say it just now?" There is a price to pay for using a Wanbao mallet. ”

"Well, I said it......"

Mei Hong's words made Wu Ye a little confused, and he only heard the other party continue: "So I specially asked Wenwen to call Kaguya." ”

"What......?" With an exclamation, Wu Ye stared at his eyes, and he couldn't understand Mei Hong's thoughts even more: "What are you calling Kaguya for?" ”

"Of course it's to be a guinea pig," Mei Hong's expression was full of routines, and she smiled evilly: "Wu Ye, think about it, when we don't know how much it costs to use the Wanbao mallet, wouldn't it be right to find someone to test it?" ”

“......”

That's actually the case, Wu Yezhi felt a pain in his head just now because he felt that Mei Hong had seen him and wanted to release his previous suspicions, and sure enough, the grievances of these two guys were not so easy to solve.

"But, Mei Hong, the Wanbao mallet is a secret treasure that can fulfill wishes, and you gave it to Kaguya like this, aren't you afraid that she will use it against you?"

"What's there to be afraid of," Mei Hong snorted lightly and said without worry: "Lao Tzu is from Penglai, what can she do with me?" ”

“...... Oh yes. ”

But he's an ordinary person, what if he's injured by mistake...... Wu Ye complained silently in his heart, at this time, he couldn't help but start complaining about the bastard who made the medicine of Penglai, what is the use of this kind of thing except to cause trouble to people!

"Don't be in a daze, Takeya, let's go," Mei Hong put her hands in her pockets and walked towards the deeper part of the castle, while not forgetting to call out to Takeya, who was wandering in the sky behind her: "Before that bastard Kaguya comes over, we have to find the Wanbao mallet first." ”

"Got it......" followed Mei Hong with a bitter face, Wu also knew that he couldn't pick it out, so he had to pray that nothing would happen.

But...... Such an idea is probably unlikely, right? Although I haven't seen Mei Hong and Kaguya pinching each other, I thought that the scene must be very touching.

With all sorts of ideas, the two walked through the outer part of the castle and into the city, and the scenery changed again.

Unlike the cold and dangerous fortifications outside the city, there are one elaborate house after another, and the size matches the small people that Takeya remembers.

Behind the jagged houses, or rather among the arches of these houses, a splendid palace sits there, not unlike the small houses on either side of the road, which is clearly intended for the size of an adult.

"Don't be surprised."

Seeing the palace in front of her, Mei Hong explained: "The ancestor of the Lilliputtan clan is an inch mage, he has obtained a body the size of a normal person, and his descendants will inevitably want to follow his steps. ”

"That's why castles and palaces are built to such normal sizes......"

After figuring out various reasons, Wu Ye was amazed, obviously born as a villain, but he wanted to learn from humans, and the concept of monsters is far from it, should it be said that he is worthy of being the descendant of an inch mage?

Youkai never disdained to learn from the weak, but in the end, they withdrew from the stage of history, leaving them not gods or monsters in the end, but the weakest human beings.

Is it really ironic, or is it a historical inevitability that such a contradiction is?

Thinking of this, Wu Ye's heart couldn't help but sigh for a while, and at this time, Mei Hong seemed to have made a decision:

"If the Wanbao mallet is here, it must have been placed in the safest place, Wu Ye, what do you think?"

"Only here, right?" Takeya pointed to the palace in front of him.

"What a coincidence, that's what I thought." Mei Hong squinted at the closed palace gate, and then let out a cold sneer.

Mei Hong glanced at the palace in front of her, and said contemptuously: "The defense didn't find it, there was no powerful aura around, it was better to say that there was not even the breath of a living thing, what is the point of such a palace with the door closed?" Bored! ”

A word of disdain fell, Mei Hong's hands had already ignited a manic flame, and before Wu Ye could say a word, he saw that the two flames were smashed directly by Mei Hong to the gate of the palace.

In an instant, the magnificent gate turned into two pieces of charcoal, and fell straight back, saying goodbye to their original duty.

"Gone." Mei Hong shook the spark in her hand, and there was no apology for destroying public property in her expression, as if all this was taken for granted.

If it weren't for Wu Ye's conscience, he really wanted to give Mei Hong a thumbs up, worthy of being the most competent bad girl in Gensokyo.

After a two-second silence outside the palace for the unfortunate gate, Takeshi hurried to follow Meihong, who had already walked far ahead.

The palace is more appropriately called a castle within a castle than a palace, with its own walls and fortifications, built in the center of the castle and looking like a castle tower from the Warring States period.

Anyway, in such an important place, there must be someone to defend it, right?

There is no shadow of a person left and right, and Wu Ye actually has such a ridiculous feeling in his heart, or this is a point that he is more cautious than Mei Hong.

In such an important place, if someone came to defend, he would feel more at ease, but now there was no one in this scene, which really increased the uneasiness in his heart by a few points.

The castle tower looked like it had six or seven floors, which was definitely a tall building even in Gensokyo, and the two of them walked up the stairs inside to the top without hindrance.

The top floor of the castle tower, which overlooks the entire castle, and in the center of the top room, an isolated altar stands.

The altar was about five feet long, and a small hammer lay quietly on it.

The exterior of the hammer is covered with strange patterns, which itself gives people an extremely mysterious feeling, and with such an arrangement around it, its identity is almost no longer in suspense.

"Looks like this is the Wanbao mallet." Mei Hong didn't have so many taboos, she directly stepped forward and grabbed this secret treasure that claimed to be able to fulfill all wishes.

As soon as the Wanbao mallet arrived in Mei Hong's hand, it automatically became a size suitable for Mei Hong's use, which seemed to increase the credibility of the rumors a lot.

Mei Hong grabbed it in her hand and played with it, and then nodded with satisfaction: "This is the real thing, yes, hehe, let's wait for Kaguya." ”

But at this moment, the joy on Mei Hong's face changed suddenly, and her eyes swept to the entrance when they came: "Who is sneaky!" Come out for me! ”

Almost at the same time as Mei Hong spoke, Wu Ye looked in the direction of her gaze, and saw that there was an extra ...... on the tatami mat, which was originally empty Bowl?
