Hao Ren looked out the window and found that the off-road vehicle was driving on a wasteland that didn't look special, and the road outside was bumpy, even if the off-road vehicle with good shock absorption performance was bumpy on this kind of road, but except for the desolation, he didn't see any difference between this place and before.However, Heatherena signaled that everyone had arrived, and she told Duncan to drive the car to a high ground in front of her, and then let everyone get off."
It doesn't look like anything special here."
Hao Ren muttered and looked around.It's a small, bare plateau, and the wilderness is full of broken stones, and traces of unmelted snow and ice can be seen between the crevices of the rocks.The cold winds of the Arctic Circle blew through the place day and night, erasing almost all traces of life, except for a handful of tenacious low, tenacious plants growing in the middle of the leeward stone crevices.Hethanna just looked up at the sky and said one word: "Wait." ”The sun was slowly tilting, and as the sun got closer to the horizon, two large shadows were gradually extending behind the crowd.Hao Ren turned his head to take a look, and found that the shadow came from two huge rocks on a small mound not far away, and the oblique shadows cast by the two rocks in the setting sun formed a shape like a tuning fork, and the gap between the two shadows pointed like a straight path of light to the river ahead."
Another manuscript we found records the pattern of entering the 'Secret Realm,'" Kassandra explained, "and there are seven days in a month to enter the Secret Realm, and on these days, the light of the setting sun shines on the twin stones by the riverbank, and the light and shadow that stretches out will show the way to the secret place."
Because the position of the sunlight is different every time, this 'door' is actually changing position all the time.And we can't get in directly after finding the path, and we need a bell made by the wizard to shake the water before we can open the door - the mistress has already got the bell. ”"Wizards always like to make this kind of godly chatter, and in a certain era, they compete to make their hermitage very complicated, and the way of opening it is more and more strange than the other, and sometimes even the owner himself needs to spend half a day to open the door of his house," Vivien recounted the events of the year, "At first, it was to protect themselves from the hunt of witches, but soon it became a twisted fashion, and it became the standard for wizards to secretly compete for knowledge and creativity.
I know a guy who hung up because the door was too complicated: he couldn't open the door when he got home, and he asked the witcher to gank. ”Nangong May glanced at Vivian: "Why do you know everyone?"
”Lily rolled her eyes: "You might as well ask her why the people she knows are dying so miserably......"
At this time, the sunlight had sunk to the predetermined position, and the path of light cast by the two boulders was projected on the surface of the river with the clearest path, and Heatherena took the lead in leading the people forward: "Let's go, the road has appeared." ”The group followed the direction pointed out by the light to the river, and then Hethanna stepped on the water and walked directly to the center of the river.Although it was cold here, the river did not freeze, I don't know if it was due to the climate or the influence of supernatural forces, the river here only had a little bit of thin ice on the shore, so when Hethanna stepped on the water, Lily was stunned for a moment: she thought the other party didn't see the road.However, Duncan and Kassandra soon followed Hethanna as well, and the three vampires walked on the water, and Lily knew that the magical power of the secret realm had taken effect, so she followed confidently and boldly.Then he fell into the river with a bang......
The husky girl was frightened and snorted, and suddenly jumped out of the water like an electric shock, and a large piece of wet below her knees was already wet, and Hethiana turned her head curiously when she heard the movement: "What are you doing?"
”Lily jumped up and down by the river, and her fur stood up in a hurry: "Isn't it possible to walk on the river!"
Why did I go up and fall into the water!
”"Who told you the river could leave?"
Hethanna looked puzzled, "We know how to walk on water." ”Everyone: "......"
Lily was stunned for a long time, and hit Hao Ren's arm with her head: "It's my fault for being imaginative, it's my fault for being imaginative......"
"You guys are waiting by the river." ”Hethanna waved to the others and walked straight to the center of the river, then pulled out a simple bronze bell from her bosom, reconfirmed the location of the bell, and then gently shook the copper bell.A loud bang that almost thundered suddenly came from the bell!
Everyone didn't expect this to be the movement after the bell rang, and even Vivien was taken aback.As the bell rang, waves of near-visible fluctuations spread from Heatherana's feet, causing the river to vibrate violently, and the surface of the water was pushed out by the invisible wall of air in a circle of ripples, which then overflowed the surface of the river, extending into the dirt and even rocks on the shore.Everything in Hao Ren's sight seemed to have turned into water, fluctuating in circles in the ringing of bells!
He noticed that something was beginning to emerge in the volatile landscape, some buildings and trees that had not existed in the first place appeared out of thin air in all directions, and a large number of shadowy, house-like black shadows swayed on the riverbank, and a large number of ghostly figures walked between the houses.There were bursts of real and illusory human voices in his ears - these voices were talking about the trivial events of the day in a local dialect of Europe hundreds of years ago, Hao Ren subconsciously opened his translation plug-in, and a few sporadic conversations came into his ears, the specific meaning was fragmented, but it sounded like discussing the lord.Suddenly, all auditory hallucinations disappeared, and the scene in front of Hao Ren's eyes stabilized.The crowd looked around in a daze, and they found themselves still standing by the river, the location seemed to have not changed, but on all sides there were many more things that did not exist: a large number of houses, streets, wooden towers, a whole town built along the riverbank.Hao Ren looked at the houses that suddenly appeared, and found that they were obviously very old, most of them were a mixture of wood and stone, and in front of the houses along the river, you could see the extended wooden trestle bridge, which seemed to have been used to dock fishermen's boats.The road between the houses is mostly dirt, with a few places paved with stone slabs or cobblestones, and black oil lamps hanging from lampposts on both sides of the road.The entire complex seems to be hundreds of years old......
Even longer, it's like a village out of a medieval movie.Lily looked up at the sky and saw that the sky had changed, and a thick layer of smoke and dust of unknown thickness had enveloped the whole town, as if there had been a fire somewhere for days and nights, and thanks to them, the surrounding light became very dim, making these quiet buildings look even more eerie and eerie."
This is the secret realm?"
Hao Ren was a little surprised, "I thought it was ......
Just a castle or something. ”Heathera returned to the group from the center of the river, and she smiled after hearing Hao Ren's muttering, "Because it's a wizard's lair, you think it's a small place?"
”"It's too big right now," Hao Ren said to the surrounding buildings, "It looks like it's a town, and as a hermit's home, this scale is a bit out of the circle." ”"I don't know what happened, but it looks like the wizard dragged the whole town into his enchantment," Hethanna nodded, "We haven't had time to find out about this town yet."
Actually, today is only the second time I've been here, Kassandra just said, this secret place can only be accessed seven days a month, and the last time I came, I was just in time for a little tail, and I was ostracized after staying here for less than half an hour.So be careful this time: my experience doesn't necessarily help much. ”Nangong Sanba silently took out the spell casting materials from his equipment box, began to paste the Leta Charm Card on the surrounding houses, and poured some magic oil that emitted a pungent smell on the ground and ignited it, after the magic oil burned, it immediately formed a constant pale flame, this flame seemed to be completely unaffected by the surrounding wind, just burning straight, in the light and shadow of the flame, some small shadows seemed to retreat from everyone.Heatherian frowned immediately after smelling the burning magic oil: "Ahem......
What the hell is this?
”"Stabilize the spiritual realm here," Nangong Sanba showed a rare and serious look, his eyes were glowing slightly white in the dark, as if the pupils had disappeared, "I see a large number of spirits here, I'm afraid our arrival has disturbed them." ”Lily immediately pulled out her claws of ice and fire and flicked them: "I'm not afraid of ghosts." ”Nangong May also raised her hand: "I'm not afraid—I'm an elemental creature, and I don't have any feelings for spirits." ”Hao Ren looked at the two of them with a little surprise: the famous fish and dog shuangyi didn't even coax at this time.Nangong Sanba shook his head: "The spirit itself may not be a big threat, but the structure of this place may be maintained by the spirit body, and this space may change a little after they get out of control......
It's better to stabilize it. ”"Then I'll leave it to you," Hao Ren nodded, and then subconsciously rubbed his arm, "Tsk, I didn't feel anything just now, at this time, why do you think I feel hairy......"
Heatherian squinted at him: "You are still afraid of ghosts like you?"
”"It's not that you're afraid of ghosts - think you're standing here, surrounded by a hundred and eighty stealthy guys peeping at you from all angles......"
"Don't talk about it!"
Heather Anna immediately rubbed her arms as well, "I feel hairy too." ”(To be continued.) )
