Chapter 398: Dead Artifact

In the next two days, Lu Gao's actions made Chen Daolin even more incomprehensible.

This guy actually stayed in Loulan City for three days in a row!

Moreover, this guy is simply not doing his job!

For three days in a row, Lu Gao took Chen Daolin to wander around in Loulan City - it was really a standard "hanging out"!

This guy seemed to have no purpose, first casually asked the servants in the inn, and inquired about one of the more famous places in Loulan City, some places of interest - of course, for a new city that is only more than a hundred years old, there are no monuments or anything, but there are still many places that are more famous and outsiders will go to take a look.

This eccentric and extremely strong man actually put on a posture of a traveler in a grand manner!

He led Chen Daolin to see the tulip workshop in the west of the city, which is said to have been built by the first duke, and now it has been relocated far outside the city due to its expansion, and the old workshop has been opened as a place for people to visit.

He led Chen Daoping to Chengbei District to watch the horse market. There are the best and most livestock and horses sold by the alien races in the northwest grassland, especially the horse market here is very famous because there are often some very good horses for sale, and some inland merchants who come to the northwest to sell horses all the year round will come here to treasure for treasure. Sometimes, a famous horse will sell for a sky-high price here!

There is also the Grand Theater in the west of the city. This is also the building of the original Tulip Duke Du Wei era, this grand theater built more than 100 years ago is not small. Because of the special design, the dome roof and the circular grandstand, the sound wave transmission has achieved a subtle effect, in this era without microphones and sound equipment, the voice of the actors on the stage can be clearly transmitted to the ears of the audience in the stands. In particular, the shape of this grand theater building is also quite distinctive - and Chen Daolin only glanced at it, and knew that Du Wei, the duke of tulips in the generation, when designing and building this grand theater, obviously copied the Gothic architectural style and integrated the Byzantine architectural style, and the rows of circular giant columns. It is clearly a pottery-style flavor.

It was on the evening of the third day. This Lu Gao actually led Chen Daolin to the residential area in the south of the city.

There is a "food street" that is said to be the most famous in the whole of Loulan City, and this small street has a variety of restaurants and shops with different flavors on the left and right sides of the road. It sells different famous foods from all over the world. There is a barbecue of cattle and sheep from the grassland. There is braised lamb liver, and there is beef in sauce. There are also some local specialties in the northwest, as well as some exquisite snacks from the south.

This cold and eccentric Lu Gao. In one night, almost every family tasted a little bit of different flavors of food, Chen Daolin was almost strangled to death, but Lu Gao seemed to be tired of it, he was like a thousand-year-old starving ghost, with great enthusiasm, walking and eating all the way.

What shocked Chen Daolin the most was that in a shop that sold boiled beef and sheep, the two also encountered a small turmoil. The business of this house is excellent, all the seats are full, and there are a few fierce looking guys who seem to be street gangsters, because of the scramble for seats and Chen Daolin and others have some arguments.

Chen Daolin couldn't help but pray for the bald gangster who took the lead on the spot - dare to provoke a saint-level powerhouse, isn't this looking for death?

But seeing that the gangster scolded a few words with foul language, and even deliberately walked over and hit Lu Gao's table, but this Lu Gao didn't seem to be angry at all, and actually calmly took Chen Daolin to the side, and then left......

Did this guy suddenly change his temper?!

Before Chen Daolin left, he couldn't help but glance at the gangster leader who had inadvertently walked before the ghost gate closed but didn't know about it, and sighed secretly in his heart - that bastard also made a very arrogant gesture to Chen Daolin with his might. This action caused several of his accomplices to burst into laughter.

Walking out of this street and looking at Lu Gao, who was strolling leisurely around him and holding a string of fried dried meat skin in his hand, Chen Daolin's patience that he had endured for many days was finally exhausted!

"Mr. Lugo...... How long are you going to play here?!"

Chen Daolin's tone was very dissatisfied.

You're really here to travel?!You like to travel so much, you've had fun by yourself! Forcibly kidnap me, what's the point of wasting time here?!I've only heard of strong women, but I've never heard of forced escorts!

Lu Gao glanced at Chen Daolin, unhurriedly finished the string of fried pork skin in his hand, and dropped the wooden signature, then smiled lightly, looked up at the sky that had darkened, and looked back at the food street behind him, which was still in full swing.

Suddenly, this strongman actually sighed in a low voice.

He said a word, which made Chen Daolin stunned.

"People always have to wait until the end to understand that they have missed a lot of scenery in their lives. ”

Then, Lu Gao looked at Chen Daolin, and his tone was actually very gentle: "Do you know? These few days are the most leisurely three days in my life. ”

...... I don't understand why this Lu Gao suddenly began to comprehend life, and Chen Daolin couldn't say anything.

Lu Gao had already clapped his hands: "Okay, I am also satisfied with this kind of day experience." Since you're running out of patience, let's get out of here tomorrow and hit the road...... Well, but tonight, I still have to go somewhere. ”

"Where are you going tonight?"

Lu Gao smiled and reached out to point in the direction of the far side of the street.

At night, standing in the center of the city, the tall and majestic Duke Tulip Castle is under the starlight and moonlight, and the flickering lights in the windows seem to be integrated with the stars in the sky......

"Tonight, we're going here. ”

Chen Daolin: "............"

......

An hour later. Chen Daolin, who was following Lu Gao, had a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying!

Lugo said he was going to Tulip Castle...... I didn't expect it to be such a way to visit!!

This guy took Chen Daolin and came to the outside of the tulip castle, and he didn't enter through the gate, didn't notify the owner, and didn't say hello, just casually flew in from outside the tall courtyard wall!

What's even more speechless is that this guy walked around the courtyard outside the castle with his hands behind his back all the way, walking past the green bushes. Stroll through the tree-lined paths and gardens.

He's even in the mood to listen to it once in a while. Lean down and admire the flowers and plants in the yard.

"Well, this place in the northwest is dry, but the people of the Tulip family have raised so many flowers and plants, and they are very good at enjoying it. Lu Gao leaned over and sniffed the flowers.

But Chen Daolin's eyes looked at the ground beside him.

Two maids with plates in their hands passed by. saw Lu Gao and Chen Daolin swaggering in. But the two unfortunate maids didn't have time to shout. was then waved his sleeves by Lu Gao and fainted.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Lu Gao frowned and looked at Chen Daolin: "Don't drag people into the grass yet." ”

The muscles at the corners of Chen Daolin's mouth twitched: "We...... Are you here to be a thief?"

"Thief?" Lu Gao smiled, and there was a hint of pride in his tone: "This world." Where else is there any place that qualifies my old man to be a thief? I was just curious about this place, so I came in and had a look. ”

Curious?

Chen Daolin was speechless.

Lu Gao glanced at Chen Daolin, and his tone suddenly became a little strange: "Maybe you don't believe it...... But in fact, although I know Du Wei that bastard very well, I also have some dealings with his descendants. But this tulip family's castle, this is the first time I have entered. ”

Well?

Lu Gao had already walked forward leisurely, and he smiled as he walked: "I have always heard that there are many interesting things in this castle built by Du Wei, and since I am here today, I want to take a good look at it and see what is so strange in such a castle left by that bastard, hum!"

Next, the Tulip family you meet along the way is unlucky!

I ran into two more groups of servants, but they were all lying on the ground with a wave of Lu Gao's hand.

In addition, I also met a few tulip guards who were on duty to keep vigil, and these guys were also unlucky, in the face of a strongman like Lu Gao, where could they be able to defeat them?

There are also some secret sentinels, Lu Gao noticed it from a long distance, and he walked all the way over with such a swagger, and all the secret sentinel guards along the way, he didn't know what he had done, and he lay straight on the ground.

Chen Daolin was speechless!

This guy ...... Are you sneaking in, or are you going to be open?!

And...... With your relationship with the Tulip family, if you want to come in as a guest, who will stop you?

But Lu Gao walked all the way, but smiled all the way: "You must be scolding me again in your heart." You don't understand, I still have some knots with that guy Du Wei, I'm just curious to come in and take a look this time, but it's not easy for people to know. Otherwise, wouldn't I bow my head to that bastard?"

This can be regarded as covering your ears and stealing the bell, shamelessness has reached a new level?!

Chen Daolin despised shì in his heart.

Fortunately, after wandering around the garden for a long time, and finally entering the castle, Lu Gao's movements were much more restrained.

Most of the guards are outside the castle, and there are far fewer guards in the castle.

The two walked into the castle, and Chen Daolin simply put on the mind that what he had come to was at ease.

The opportunity to swagger around the famous Tulip Family Castle is not available to everyone!

In Chen Daolin's opinion, the interior of this tulip castle is extremely luxuriously built!

The thick carpet on the ground is not ordinary at first glance, and walking on it is like stepping on cotton.

On the walls on both sides, although they are still the original boulders, they are painted with a very good layer of paint, and there are some exquisite lamppost candlesticks on the walls, and there are many paintings and sculptures by famous artists hanging in some places.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that in this hall, the floor-to-ceiling windows that are seven or eight meters high, and the huge curtains are made of the highest quality velvet materials!

The huge crystal lamp overhead, although it was night, did not turn on. But just by looking at the huge volume, you can imagine how gorgeous it is when it is lit.

The stairs leading to the second floor, the handrails are all exquisite stone carvings, Chen Daolin only looked at it twice and could be sure that this is by no means carved by ordinary craftsmen!

And above the staircase, facing the main door of the hall, there is a huge oil painting on the wall!

The oil painting is only five or six meters high, and the content of a huge oil painting. It was a man dressed in a duke's gown. A young man with a long sword in his hand.

Although it is only a side, in the painting, it subtly shows the heroism and uprightness of this young man, especially the side face. The bridge of the nose is straight. The eyes are blazing. Although it was only a side face, Chen Daolin still recognized it...... In the magical illusion left by Du Wei that he saw at the beginning, Du Wei's face is seven or eight points similar!

No need to ask. This must be a portrait of Dewey himself!

In the painting, Du Wei stands in the middle of the painting, holding a long sword in his hand, pointing to the sky, and behind him, some faint knights and warriors are clustered......

Lu Gao stood under the painting and looked up for a long time, and then, his expression was also strange.

"Hmph, it looks like a ...... That guy was like that back then, with such a shameless smile on his face. ”

Turning around, Lu Gao looked at Chen Daolin: "By the way, this smile is really similar to you." ”

Chen Daolin: "...... Are you scolding me shamelessly in a different way?"

......

I came to the second floor, walked through the corridor, and pushed the door open on the right, but this is a large exhibition room!

Although the door was locked, a strongman like Lu Gao didn't know what method he used, so with a slight push, the door naturally opened.

This is clearly a weapons exhibition room!

In a room the size of two or three classrooms, all kinds of weapons hung on the walls around it, including swords, guns, swords, axes, long and short ice blades, armor shields, and short swords...... There is a wide variety of varieties!

Chen Daolin also became curious, walked to the wall and looked carefully, and after only a few glances, he was sure of one thing: these things are by no means those flashy exhibits!

The sword hanging on the wall in front of him still flashed with a sharp edge! There were still some scratches on the blade, which were obviously traces left by someone who had been used in battle! And on the hilt of the sword, the cork swallow was glowing a deep dark red -- obviously soaked in blood! This kind of mark, which could not be erased no matter how much it was wiped, had already merged with the hilt of the sword.

He looked all the way over to see the knives, swords, axes...... Almost every weapon is extremely rare and superb!

Whether it is the material, or the sharpness, it is far superior to all the weapons that Chen Daolin has seen in the Roland Empire before!

And in the end, something caught Chen Daolin's attention!

In the center of this exhibition room, a huge shelf is placed. And on the shelf, there is a spear horizontally!

This spear is dark all over, the handle is about the thickness of a goose egg, the body of the spear is straight and firm, and when you touch it, you immediately feel a trace of coldness and a cold air coming from your fingertips!

There are still some remaining scratches and mutilations on the body of the gun! Obviously, I don't know what kind of fierce battle this spear has experienced! The design of the tip of the spear is extremely amazing! It is like a twisted and slender flame, but the damage to the tip of the spear is more severe, and there is a place where it has been mutilated and broken by more than half! Only a small half is still sticky, otherwise, the tip of the spear would have been broken!

What made Chen Daolin pay more attention was that he noticed that the half of the spear near the tip of the spear was faintly carved with some strange dark lines!

This...... It seems to be some kind of text, language, or the pattern of a magic circle?

With Chen Daolin's erudition and versatility in magical knowledge, he couldn't even recognize what this was!!

Just when Chen Daolin was already stunned, Lu Gao had already stood behind him and smiled lightly: "You have sharp eyes, you can see this thing at a glance." ”

"This ...... It shouldn't be ordinary, right?" Chen Daolin looked at the spear cautiously.

"Hehe, good vision. Lu Gao smiled faintly: "If you are not deaf, you should have at least heard of it...... The spear of Longcinus. ”

"............" Chen Daolin's heart was shocked!!, and then his eyes suddenly widened, staring at this spear!!

Spear of Roncinus!!

The strongest artifact in the legend!!The gods of various races in prehistory, in order to fight against the gods of the demon race, combined the power of the gods, and created the strongest artifact!

Strongest!

"This ...... This is the spear of Longcinus?!" Chen Daolin gasped.

"Yes. ”

"This ...... It can't be a fake, right?"Chen Daolin was a little puzzled.

If it was really that artifact, how could it be casually thrown in such an exhibition hall?!

"Huh. Lu Gao smiled: "Replicas, I've seen a few in my life, especially Du Wei's guy, he copied a batch and sold them in the tulip workshop, swindling a lot of money from those fools who have money and no place to spend it in the imperial capital." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Gao's tone suddenly froze: "But I promise, the one in front of your eyes now is the real thing!"

"How, how is it possible!" Chen Daolin changed color: "If it's genuine...... Isn't it supposed to be in a treasure trove that you can't usually see?"

Lu Gao sighed softly: "The real thing is the real thing...... It's just that even if it's genuine, no one will fight its idea anymore, and it doesn't have any artifact functions. Because...... It's 'dead'. ”

Is it dead?!

Say as if the gun has a life of its own?
