24. Sophia
Wang Qinian has no hatred with the other party, on the contrary, there is a common goal, the Founding Bishop can not tolerate vampires, at this point, it is the same as the attitude towards the lich, in this case, Wang Qinian has no need to pull hatred, even if there is really a philosopher stone, it will be placed in the second place.
The reason why he did it before was very simple, as an ally also requires strength, if you don't have enough strength, who will care about you, so Wang Qinian is condescending first and then respectful, in fact, he doesn't want to be an enemy of the Founding Bishop, but the matter is not up to him, since he is an enemy, he will not be lucky.
Sophia is also a smart person, listening to Wang Qinian's words, she also understood, fell, the wings behind her disappeared, and said: "In fact, there is no philosopher's stone here, this is the castle of barbarians, it is said that it is barbarians, in fact, Emperor Kaiwang and his group are barbarians, they are Cornishu people, and the magic civilization is more developed than now, this ancient castle is a witness, you know why the Kaiwang Emperor of Hulu did not record this ancient castle in the war records." ”
"What is the reason?" Wang Qinian asked, with a wave of the wand in his hand, the bone cage disappeared, and the two-headed dog roared in a low voice, but he didn't dare to come up, Sophia turned around and said, and the two-headed dog quieted down.
"Because this castle was invisible in that era, and then after more than five hundred years, the energy was exhausted, and it appeared in the eyes of the world, it is in duplicate, and it looks no different from an ordinary castle, but it seems to be connected to a half-plane, and all the secrets are hidden in the half-plane, and this secret is only recently known to us. Sophia said.
"Half-plane?" Wang Qinian was surprised, that is the realm that magic can only be accessed by the legendary Cheng Dù, although there are many magicians, but there are very few legends, legendary mages generally do not appear in the world, they are dedicated to studying magic, in order to unravel the truth of the world.
"Yes, it's a half-plane, I didn't want to say it, but time is urgent, I heard that the Holy See also knows, now one more power is a power, you are a lich, how can you be the same as a living person, what is the reason?" Sophia asked curiously.
"I don't know what the reason is, probably something went wrong during the transformation ceremony, you're not the same, beautiful young lady, you don't look like a blood clan. Although Wang Qinian had conjectures, he was really not sure, so he had to be vague.
"I'm just a mixed race, my father is the Duke of Windsor, but my mother is a human, and there is something special about it. Sophia said.
Wang Qinian snorted, suddenly remembered something in his heart, and asked: "This place is very calm, these plants were put by you?
"You're saying this place is cursed and time and space is chaotic?" asked Sophia.
"Yes, the rumor is this. ”
"The reason is wrong, although the energy in the castle is exhausted, it is only for stealth, and there is also some scattered magical energy, which affects the surrounding qiē intentionally or unintentionally, so it is not surprising that this phenomenon occurs. ”
"I see, the gods are above, and I'm very interested in this qiē. Wang Qinian said that he was really interested, there must be people from the vampire clan here, they arrived first, if they were hostile, they would break in, but at present, they have turned enemies into friends.
Sophia smiled: "Distinguished guest, you come with me." ”
She turned inward, Wang Qinian followed her closely and walked into the castle, as soon as the two entered, the gate quietly closed again, and the plants crawled all over the gate at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if no one had been here for a long time.
They just entered, there was a sound of flapping wings in the air, and a dragon appeared in the distant sky, this is a red dragon, with a slender body, flesh wings spread, full of explosive power, a dragon knight on his body, wearing heavy armor, covered with magic patterns, with a cross on his chest, holding a dragon spear, he is one of the elites of the founding bishop, and also the leader of the Iron Cross, the great knight Raphael, once picked a heretical stronghold and killed more than 100 people, among which there are also great knights and magicians, known as the blade of Gabriel.
Red Dragon Xiuer, is his loyal partner, there are many dragons in this world, and the relationship with people is very close, and it is also a creature recognized by the founding bishop, once the man and the dragon sign a contract, the two become one, people can use the power and life of the dragon, the dragon has a much longer life than a person, and in the same way, the dragon can also be intelligent, which is a matter of mutual benefit.
Being recognized by the dragon is itself a symbol of strength, and the dragon knight can be comparable to the knight of the first order above him in terms of strength, and also gain enough magic resistance.
The flying dragon hovered in the air, and the red dragon Shuer let out a dragon groan, and said, "Raphael, there is a nasty smell in the castle below, as if it smells of vampires, shall we go down, or wait for the others?"
Due to its huge size, the castle was relatively small for it, and if it wanted to go down, it had to shrink in size, and even Raphael had to walk.
Raphael said: "Wait a minute, clean up the periphery first, I got the information, Borober Castle is left by the Corneshu, the Corneshu people were very developed in magic, but the population is small, plus Kaiwang the Great burned down the information of the Corneshu, unfortunately, until recent years, the church has paid attention to the magic of the Corneshu, but does not know much about its principle, this castle is an example, although the vampires have the precedence, they can not be dissected in a short time." ”
Hearing this, the red dragon Xiuer circled, opened his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of dragon breath, and the fire fell from the sky, and those flowers and plants made a squeaky scream, and the flowers and plants were not burned by the fire, and they pulled out their roots one after another, and fled out in panic.
And Wang Qinian followed Sophia, and saw many stone statues along the way, Wang Qinian knew that this was a gargoyle, but he couldn't be sure that Sophia had gone all the way, and the stone statues did not have a trace of resurrection, Wang Qinian knew that Sophia They should have mastered some keys.
After several transformations, in the castle, it was like a labyrinth, but Wang Qinian inadvertently found that as if he had a map in his mind, the road he had walked clearly appeared in his mind, Wang Qinian thought about it for a while, and he understood that he seemed to have a specialty in Fang Zheng, which should be the result of magic practice.
He is silent, the castle is like a labyrinth, this qiē is like an egg peeled open, Wang Qinian knows it clearly. Sophia walked to a wall, the wall was very smooth, but Sophia didn't stop, and went straight through, Wang Qinian was slightly stunned, and didn't stop, following her steps, she also walked out through the wall.
There is no obstacle, the eyes are bright, but it is a hall, the top and four walls of the hall, soft light sprinkled on it, Wang Qinian looked up, there is a ceiling crystal lamp above, there are wall lamps on the surrounding walls and blooming brilliance, but it is not candles and oil lamps, nor is it the electric lamp that Wang Qiqian was familiar with, but the gems are full of magic arrays, which are pure magic gems.
Wang Qinian knows this gem, but can not be promoted, because the cost is too high, otherwise, it is a good idea, Wang Qinian thought in his heart, but, in the blink of an eye, overturn these ideas, this is not a good idea, because once the gem outlines the magic array, then it will be under the effect of the magic array, absorb energy during the day, release light at night, and when there is no damage at all, this is destined not to become an industry, even if there are a large number of gems, the cost will not be successful, because the producer is unprofitable, and in the end there will be no one to produce, the lamp This thing, anyway, it is a consumable, only constantly updated and damagedIn order to stabilize the production of dìng.
Wang Qinian smiled bitterly, he finally understood why those goods in his previous life were easy to be damaged, it was the need to make money, maybe even the producers didn't realize it.
From this point of view, it is true that human society does not need eternal things, and the pursuit of immortality is not contrary to the tide of human beings?
Wang Qinian put aside this idea, there were more than a dozen people in the hall, it should be said that it was a vampire, and when they saw Sophia coming in, most of them looked over, and when they saw that she brought someone, many people frowned.
When Wang Qinian saw this qiē, he didn't say anything, and since it was Sophia who brought it in, those people didn't say anything.
"Father, this is the Lich Enlightenment. Sophia introduced that the Duke of Windsor looked at Wang Qinian and heard that he was a lich, and most people's faces began to soothe, because they knew that the lich, like vampires, was wanted by the Holy See.
"Hello Your Excellency, I'm Windsor, Sophia brought you in, there must be her considerations, since we are here, we are people in the same boat. The Duke of Windsor said.
"I have seen His Excellency the Duke. Wang Qinian bent down.
"Honorable Excellency, don't be restrained, we've been here for a few days, and before that, Sophia and they had been here for two years, and until now, we still haven't been able to solve the mystery, and the passage to the half-plane hasn't been opened, these are my people. The Duke of Windsor said, with a warm smile on his face, but Wang Qinian knew that the Duke of Windsor was a veteran vampire by standard.
As a branch of the ancient thirteen clans, Windsor has declined to become the least appreciated, and the ancient vampires have fallen into a deep sleep, which has greatly weakened their power, and they usually do not associate with other vampires, appearing very low-key.
But vampires are vampires, and as long as they live, they will have ambitions, and this time they inadvertently unearth this secret to see if it is possible to rise from it.
But she still couldn't solve the mystery, so Sophia led Wang Qinian in, and she also saw if Wang Qinian could solve the secret.
Wang Qinian looked up at the opposite wall, where a sentence was engraved, like an aphorism, written in the Corneshu language: "Death is both the end of life and the beginning of life, and only death with the power of life can reach the other side." ”
The Corneshu language is like a deed, a kind of deed-glyph, and Wang Qinian's predecessor spent a lot of effort studying this script because he was very interested in the Corneshu civilization.
When Wang Qinian saw this sentence, his heart moved, what does this mean, it looks like an epigram, why is it engraved here, and what does it have to do with the half-plane?
