Chapter 099: Hunting Layout
"Of course~"
A certain Wen smiled very confidently and firmly, his eyes flashed with perseverance and sincerity, and he tilted his head slightly with a little pride.
The way he looked at him was as if the subject was too certain to be worth discussing.
Well?
Could it be ......
Really a priceless goodie?!
Otherwise, how dare he show such a noble and arrogant posture in front of me?
Perhaps, this time I am crooked, I really want to gain fame and fortune, and get unimaginable benefits from it?
... What exactly are the benefits?
Gold and silver jewelry?
Panacea?
A rare rarity?
Or something unbelievably good?
Still is......
Suddenly, countless strange but priceless mysterious treasures in the legend flashed away in Mai Li's mind like a white horse.
Although it was only a fleeting moment, the lust and greed they brought with them shook his heart like a demonic temptation, making him become ambitious and insatiable at that moment......
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the commander-in-chief, who came to the front line in person for power and profit, and whose personality and morality were seriously flawed, suddenly became inexplicably excited, and he couldn't help but subconsciously lean forward half of his body, and was about to ask another question, urging the other party to 'stop playing dumb riddles, and quickly offer me all the treasures in your hands', who knew that he hadn't had time to speak. On the contrary, he was given a general by a certain article that was waiting for an opportunity to look left and right, and showed a worried look: "Hmm... But you're too bright here. ”
"Huh?"
Too bright?
Is it too bright?
"Well, that's it," a certain article stretched out his hand and patted his head very worriedly, as if he was considering words, thought about it carefully, and then said bluntly: "My treasure is not suitable for seeing the light, once it meets the strong light." The mysteries and wonders will disappear. The value of itself will be greatly reduced... I don't think this is the ending you like to see, right?"
"Huh?"
Is there such a strange treasure in this world?
Ah, yes!
He must be something like a 'pearl of the night': he can't see the light, it must be a rare treasure that needs the help of darkness to manifest its brilliance......
I see!
Speaking of... Like this kind of baby. It's really not suitable to show off in this kind of fluffy environment!
"Hmmm......"
Come to think of it. The bad silver, who was very sympathetic to the good intentions of a certain text, looked around with satisfaction (the deliberation hall was brightly lit. Four lit candles... He regarded a certain article as boasting about his pomp and grandeur), and nodded hypocritically, narrowing his eyes by the way. He smiled triumphantly: "Indeed, you are right, this is too bright... So what do you say you should do?"
A certain Wen seemed to be slightly embarrassed and slightly stunned, then quickly lowered his head, touched his shoulder with one hand, bowed respectfully, and said humbly: "This... Being a prisoner at the bottom of the ladder, there are some things that are really hard to say, and I dare not say them. ”
"Oh!"
This is a guy who knows the times and is a good man!
and the girl next to him, who looks like she is smart and beautiful, looks like Bing Xue is smart, but in fact she is stupid and unenlightened!
The bad silver, who obtained the current status and power by despicable and inferior means, suddenly had a good impression of the young man in front of him, he raised his head arrogantly, smiled slightly as if he was tolerant and generous, and said: "It's okay, you don't have to say it~"
"Yes......"
A certain text hesitated, looked like he wanted to say something, opened his mouth several times, and closed it speechlessly (this process filled the heart of the high-ranking bad silver with an unparalleled sense of satisfaction, and it felt as if the other party would be like this because of respect and fear for his majesty... As everyone knows, this kid is just acting on the spot, and he shows him how to perform... At this time, if he knew this, he would definitely be furious and be angry to death on the spot...... In the end, he seemed to have no choice but to reluctantly plead: "I hope that Your Excellency can order someone to remove all the candles in the hall......"
"What?"
"All the candles?!"
Satisfaction is satisfaction, but in fact, when he said this, he still startled Mai Ti: "Why do you remove all the candles?"
"Remove all the candles, and then isn't it pitch black in here, and you can't see your fingers?"
"No way!"
"It's impossible. ”
"Candles, I can remove a part of... Even a large part of it is fine, but some of it must be kept. ”
"Otherwise, it's pitch black in this room, and how do I know what the hell you're trying to do?"
A certain Wen suddenly laughed dumbly and said, "After all, Your Excellency doesn't trust me!"
"Humph!"
Of course!
Who are you?
Why should I trust you?
"Then, why don't you do it!" A certain Wen deliberately made a thoughtful look, pondered for a while, and then suggested again: "I see that in this hall, only the four permanent lamps on the ceiling, the front and back, the left and right are inlaid in the stone wall, and they are separated from the outside world by a layer of amber condensation, and they can't be taken out, since Your Excellency insists on keeping some of them, then it is better to keep them!"
“......”
Mai Ti was suddenly speechless.
He also knew that the four lanterns were the four small lamps that had been sealed in the zenith of the deliberation hall with citrine amber after he had asked the witch priests in the clan to perform the magic spell of Changming, and used them for night lighting.
Because of the design problems at the time, they were a little lacking in the field of lighting, so that it was later discovered that the light emitted by them was too weak, and after removing the rest of the candles around them. The faint light they emit is simply not enough to provide enough brightness for the entire deliberative hall to accurately identify the bearings......
Of course, this was only a minor problem, and a few more candles would have solved it, and the designer at the time also said it (although it is very likely that he said it out of a sense of responsibility): "The reason for this design is completely based on the habits of the underground gnomes: others may not be able to see clearly, but as a goblin with good night vision, you should be able to see clearly!"
Such an excuse is obviously too far-fetched, but it is enough to silence the official government who pays for it: after all, everyone wants to be faced. No one wants to admit that they have bad eyes. At this level of lighting, it's really hard to see......
What's more, it's not a big deal at night. Add a few more candles to the perimeter and you'll be fine. There is no need to dwell on this trivial issue.
So it was kept.
This is a detail that has long been forgotten by the world. Unexpectedly, at this time, he was keenly discovered by the other party, and took advantage of this to make such a request, which is really... It makes people feel like they are dumb and eat coptis.
But......
Everyone is the same, right?
I can't see. Are they different and can't be seen?
Isn't darkness fair and reasonable for everyone......
Ah, yes!
Perhaps, they want to take advantage of the darkness in the room to wait for an opportunity to escape?!
Or maybe it's playing some trick that I don't know about?
“......”
After thinking about it so far, Mai Ti's face gradually sank unconsciously, and he was about to say no, but he didn't expect that the young man on the other side seemed to see through his concerns at a glance, and he still smiled so firmly and calmly, and took the initiative to ask: "If Your Excellency is not at ease, you can close the door, and then send heavy troops inside and outside to wait for you, we have all the ability, and there is nothing we can do, right?"
"Why should it be because of the light in the room, so that the treasure that you have sincerely gifted you will lose its brilliance and scatter the treasure, won't the gain outweigh the loss?"
"Ahem, of course, good things are given to you, since you don't cherish them, then there is nothing you can do!"
"Hmmm......"
That's right......
Actually, about this point, Mai Ti has thought about it before, but he feels that this kind of practice is laborious, and there is no need to do it like a superstition because of the other party's words (besides, the kid dragged it in his hand as a treasure, what is the magic horse thing, I don't know!)... But now when I hear him say this, I feel as if I don't do it, as if I am destroying the heavens......
Well, when you think about it, it seems to make some sense......
What's more, even so, it is not difficult for him.
And why should the value of the treasure be compromised in such a trivial place because of a small loss?
That's rightly for me!
“... Well, well!"
After thinking about it and thinking about it, Mai Ti still agreed very wisely: "Just as you wish." ”
"But ......"
"I'm ugly to say in front: I'm a person, I hate people lying in front of me, deceiving me how to do it, if you steal and cheat, you can't get the treasure when the time comes, I will never let you go!"
"Nature~"
A certain article was still calm and composed, smiling without frowning, and happily saluted him, and replied: "If you dare to commit a crime and deceive Your Excellency, your Excellency will have no complaints even if you give the order to cramp and skin us and break our corpses into thousands of pieces!"
“......”
Hearing him say this, Mai Ti didn't want to doubt it anymore.
Perhaps, true, right?
He's saying things like that... Is it possible to have a fake?
They look like helpless ordinary people......
If it's true or false, then, under the condition of heavy guarding, these two people can't escape the palm of my hand!
Thinking of this, this high-ranking big bad silver turned sideways, turned his head and ordered a few words from the cronies next to him, and sent him away.
After only half a cup of tea, he returned, and with a large group of well-trained guards dressed in fine iron armor with him.
In addition to this, there were twelve other petite goblin maids who followed.
The maids swiftly collected all the candles in the room, except for the four lanterns on the front and right sides of the zenith, while at the same time, a large group of guards who had just stepped into the deliberative hall with their sonorous and powerful steps, saluted their commander-in-chief at the front, and received their approval, and each divided into two groups: one group went out and stood outside the gate, and one group came in, standing with swords on the left and right.
Then, after all the maids had cleaned up and bowed down from everyone's field of view, the guards guarding the door did not hesitate to close the door of the deliberation hall and fasten it with a copper lock from the outside.
In this way, before they got Mai Ti's permission, none of the people who were now locked up in the deliberation hall could get out.
“......”
But it's so dark!
Removed all the candles, and closed the door again, only the four dim candles in front and back (and the light they emitted was separated from the outside world by a layer of chatrine amber...). The whole space was so dark that you almost couldn't see your fingers.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became gloomy and depressing.
Because he couldn't see what was in front of him clearly, he sat on the luxurious high-backed chair, and couldn't help but look a little restless, full of anticipation in his heart, but also subconsciously quietly retained a little fear... I always feel that such an environment is full of dangers, and it faintly gives people a strange feeling full of confusion and fraud......
"Well, you see, everything is as you want, and you have nothing to say this time, right?"
"Bring them all!"
--He rolled his throat, swallowed his saliva in his stomach as if he were self-defeating, and after trying to suppress the fear in his heart, he wanted to say this, but unfortunately, he didn't have time yet.
As soon as the word 'good' came out, I saw a bright silver flame in the darkness erupting from the void, and in an instant it turned into a brilliant silver snake, like a dragon going out to sea, shooting towards itself!
"Ahh
The distance between the two was less than two zhang, so he arrived in front of Mai Ti in an instant, Rao is master is realm is one realm higher than a certain Wen and Xiao Jing, but under such a fierce and unforeseen surprise attack, he was still taken aback!
However, in the final analysis, it was still the role of the 'Demon Pill Realm' Second Order, and it was not too useless, and he was surprised, so he subconsciously dodged and shook it to the side.
Crackling -
As soon as he dodged, he saw a bright silver flame in front of him like a thunderbolt in the nine heavens, splitting the high-backed chair he was sitting on in half before!
“!!”
Frightened, flesh-pounding, dazzling... However, before all this could be realized, the corner of the eye of the traitor thief who had been in great shock and had not had time to calm down flashed, and he saw the handsome young man who was polite and seemingly powerless in his previous impression holding a big knife with cold light splashing in both hands, and between the lightning and flint, the whole person flew in, like a terrible ghost from hell, raised the knife in a dashing manner, and smashed it down madly according to his head! (To be continued......)
PS: I'm sorry everyone!
Recently, the conflict between our family has become more and more acute, and I only feel physically and mentally exhausted, very sad, and I really can't write about it......
So it's been dragging on for so many days, I'm really sorry for everyone!
(So the extra 1000 words in this chapter can be regarded as a small compensation)
alas
You may be dismissive of me when I say that, but God knows how terrible I am now in a situation where I can't write a few hundred words!
(The reason for this is mainly related to my current state of mind and realm...... )
I really worked hard, desperately hard to be able to continue.
I don't want to give up......
It may be a little slower, but I'm still trying to write well.
I'm sorry......
