Law of the Devil

(Today's update, two long chapters in one.)

Thought this was the end?

What is this sentence? threaten? provocative? Still unwilling? Resentment?

Du Wei frowned deeply, but withdrew his hand. He couldn't calm down for a while, but pushed back the coffin lid subconsciously.

Tonight... I really discovered a lot of secrets!

With a wry smile between his brows, Du Wei sighed deeply.

I looked around.

Hmm... If this is the cemetery where the Messiah is buried, then... how to get out?

Around, there seems to be no exit.

Du Wei was frowning and thinking, and as soon as his mind moved, he immediately felt the magic power fluctuation on the "eternal sun wheel" above change. Soon, a beam of light shot down and shone on his body.

The surrounding space and light seemed to be distorted for a moment, and after a while, the light dissipated, and he was surprised to find that he had returned to the central platform of the previous circular square!

"Yi? It came out so easily?" Du Wei couldn't help but rubbed his eyes.

But around him, it was very clear that the square was full of circular pits blasted by the magic guide, and on the circular platform under his feet, there were densely packed maps carved. It was indeed back to the underground labyrinth just now.

Anyway, Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little nervous from his previous experience. Before entering the Demon God Temple, it was also a separate space opened up, but it seemed to be imprisoned inside, and it was difficult to come out again. But... I want to come to this place, it is the place where the Messiah is buried, and it is not a cage, so there is no magic restriction.

He was breathing a sigh of relief, but suddenly he felt the map under his feet, as if... changed? !

I saw the huge circular platform under my feet. Still exuding a soft light faintly, the light is not glaring, but the traces of the map that were originally carved on it seem to be under the light of this magic power, one by one, the traces that were originally carved, those routes. It seemed to gradually become softer, and then began to twist, deform, and change the original position, and finally the lines were reassembled one by one...

"Changed, changed?"

Du Wei's eyes widened.

These lines gurgled gently like running water, and finally fixed the work. Du Wei looked at it carefully, added the memories in his heart to confirm it, and finally shouted out in a low voice.

"Map! Has it become what the current imperial capital looks like?!"

indeed. This map seems to have been "updated" by itself. The original traces are like the topography of the magic capital thousands of years ago, but now, with the shining of the magic light, the pattern on the map has completely changed. Now the topography of the imperial capital looks like it!

The imperial city in the city, the temples and magic guilds in the east and west of the city. There are also city gates, streets... Du Wei compared them one by one with the location of the imperial capital he recognized in his heart, and it turned out to be exactly the same! !

"This thing will update itself." Du Wei exclaimed.

However, the surprise is obviously more than that!

The magical light on the entire platform under the feet still has no traces of fading. I saw these lines, gradually shining light, and then, on the huge platform map in between, countless bright spots began to appear point by point. Those bright spots, there are big and small, but sometimes they just appear on the map bit by bit, and then quickly turned into a large area, densely packed, like a colony of ants, it is impossible to calculate clearly with the naked eye, tens of thousands ...and, the number is still increasing!

"These...these are..."

Du Wei's eyes widened, and those bright spots. After some emerged, they stayed in place, while others seemed to be still moving...

Finally, the perimeter of the map. For example, the north side of the river on the map. Also began to appear sporadic bright spots, one. two...ten...hundreds...

"Could it be..."

A thought suddenly came to Du Wei's mind.

Could it be... a monitoring magic circle? !

In other words, a magic-like, similar to...

Something like a radar? !

Now, Du Wei was really shocked from the bottom of his heart!

Such a thing is obviously based on the magic power of a large number of magic crystals buried in the ground. The automatic operation of the magic circle immediately uses magic to re-sense the entire surface terrain and update it to the current appearance of the imperial capital----this It was already amazing enough. However, these magic circles are so exquisite that not only the building terrain can be sensed, but... people can also be sensed! !

Those dense light spots under the feet, one by one, represent the people who are currently on the ground! Especially here, in the position of the imperial palace, there seems to be a lot of active spots-as if they don't know what happened on the surface. In the middle of the night, did a large number of Imperial Forest Army mobilize?

Du Wei still doesn't know yet, because he undoubtedly triggered the magic circle of the ancient demons, activated the white tower built on the ground, and a strange spectacle of beams of light appeared, which caused a lot of chaos in the imperial city. Mass mobilization.

After watching for a while, Du Wei thought and guessed...

Well, that's it. This magic circle can't really sense all of them. After all, there are more than one million people in the imperial capital, and it's impossible for all of them to be sensed on this huge map.

And although there are many and densely packed light spots, at least there will not be more than a million.

And these light spots, judging from the geographical distribution, it seems that there are more in the palace, the temple of light, the magic union, and the surrounding area of ​​the city wall, and the garrison of the royal city guards outside the city... these In some places, the light spot is particularly obvious, but in other places, it is much less.

And those neighborhoods inhabited by civilians rarely have bright spots.

In other words, this magic circle seems to be able to sense people with stronger power.

For magicians, warriors. The elite army can clearly sense it, but ignores the civilians.

So……

"If this is a radar, then it is a military-specific radar in the true sense." Du Wei sighed deeply: "Unexpectedly, the demon race ten thousand years ago has advanced to this level in the magic civilization. How far?! The current human beings are far behind!"

Du Wei immediately realized that this is a wonderful thing.

But... it seems that I can't take it away.

Du Wei thought for a while, and gave up his plan to take this thing as his own. After all, this is a complete magic circle, even if I go out of my way to poach such a big round platform away... Let alone whether it can be transported out, even if it can be transported out, without the magic circle, this thing is useless up. .

It's a pity to lose a good thing.

His appetite was whetted, and he yearned for the transcendent and advanced magic civilization of the demon race ten thousand years ago. He couldn't help but search around on the round platform, hoping to find some valuable good things.

finally. Hard work pays off.

Du Wei almost disregarded his image and climbed around the round platform, knocking here and there, not letting go of every stone slab, and finally he was on the top edge. After his undoubted beating, it seemed to trigger What mechanism, a stone slab was overturned. The color inside is actually golden!

Du Wei's heart moved, knowing that he had found something new. I reached out and touched it, but found a light purple crystal stone.

"Huh? Magic crystal? Magic gem?" Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after looking at it.

Just a magic gem. This kind of thing, since I got the Dragon God's collection, I can say that there are as many things as there are. Although the piece in my hand looks very good, for Du Wei, it is also a lot of money something.

He is a little disappointed. But then my heart moved, since this thing was placed here so carefully by the demons, it must be weird. It's a pity that I don't have any magic now, so I can't see what the magic gem is for, and Semel seems to have run out of magic power.

No matter, let's take it home first!

He estimated the time and decided to leave. When he left the central round platform, he was still worried about how to get out of the magic artillery array again. But when he threw a few stone slabs, he found that the magic cannons seemed to have no response.

Um? Could it be that the magic power is exhausted? ?

Of course Du Wei didn't know, he hadn't recited that spell. It is because all the magic power has been exhausted that the magic cannon has lost its magic power foundation, and it is temporarily unusable now. You have to wait until the magic circle works by itself and slowly recovers its magic power before it can be restarted.

Du Wei left this place so quickly and returned all the way through the secret passage. Quickly returned to the previous exit.

When he turned over the slate above his head. When I returned to Lan Lan's bedroom, the sky was still dark. But from a distance, looking from the window, there seemed to be a lot of light coming from the center of the imperial city. It seemed that in the middle of the night, there were many people lighting torches, which faintly illuminated that area.

On the bed, Lanlan was still lying there quietly, sleeping with her eyes closed, and her body was still covered with the blanket that Du Wei put on her.

Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief. After carefully checking the room again, everything was fine, and then smiled wryly at the sleeping Lanlan, "Sorry for disturbing you tonight."

He stepped back from the window, jumped out like a civet cat, and closed the window silently with his backhand.

In the middle of the palace in the distance, the voices of people could be faintly heard, and when they got out of the room, they could still hear the shouts of many soldiers running back and forth and the sound of leather boots.

Du Wei was even more disturbed, he spotted the flower garden in the distance, and was about to rush over there. And at this time, suddenly, he heard someone breathing in the darkness in the distance.

He heard a young voice, sighing helplessly. That figure was standing at the gate of the yard, looking through the night, it seemed to be the figure of a young man.

"Lan, Lanlan..." The man seemed a little anxious, but he still stood at the gate of the yard and never came in, as if he stomped his feet on the spot. Then he mustered up his courage and said loudly: "Lanlan! Sincerely! Although you are not willing to see me tonight, I will not give up! Hmm... Something happened in the imperial city, I, I can’t stay here for long! I’m going! Tomorrow night, after I finish my shift tomorrow night, I will come here too! If you don’t see me every day, I will come here every night! Unless you personally reject me. Otherwise, I will never give up!”

After a pause, probably seeing that there was no response from inside, the man's voice was slightly agitated and trembling, and he said loudly: "Lanlan! Everything I said just now by Chip is sincere! Since the coup four years ago, After the Imperial Forest Army fought, you and other maids came to rescue the wounded soldiers. After I saw you that day, I will never forget your figure in the past few years! Alright! I, go!"

finished. The young figure turned around, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and quickly ran away.

Du Wei sighed, and looked back at the blue room behind him.

"Well, he is also an infatuated person." Du Wei smiled, rushed to the flower garden quickly, found the entrance and got in. Then cover the stone slab above, and then return from a long way.

He sneaked all the way along the underground canal, and soon reached the outside of the imperial city. But at this time, when he was diving under the water, he heard teams of imperial forest soldiers running back and forth from time to time, as if something had happened.

Du Wei frowned, and could only hide in the ditch for a while, and then continued to swim out, swimming far away. Far away from the imperial city, there was gradually no movement above.

Du Wei got out of the canal, and took advantage of the darkness to rush all the way back to the Duke's Mansion. On the way, he encountered many soldiers from the security station patrolling. Du Wei relied on his strength to avoid them one by one. No one found him. .

Finally back home, Du Wei, who had been busy for most of the night, was really exhausted. His mental strength is not as good as before. Although he is not physically tired, he is gradually getting sleepy. It is difficult for him to go back to his room in the middle of the night. For fear of waking up the pair of sisters. He could only sleep carelessly in the study.

It's just that when I fell asleep, I didn't know how many weird dreams I had.

in a dream. It seems that I can't get rid of that crystal coffin...

It seemed that in the dream, I would involuntarily reach out to open the coffin, and then look at the empty inside, and then I heard a question full of resentment and faintness!

"Aragorn! Do you think this is over!!"

"Aragorn! Do you think this is over!!"

"Aragorn! Do you think this is over!!"

"Aragorn! Do you think this is over!!"

"Aragorn! Do you think..." Ah! " Du Wei exclaimed, waking up from the dream, he was still leaning on the chair in the study, looking outside, but the sky was already bright.

He touched his head, rubbed his eyes vigorously, sighed, and said to himself: "Damn it, how can I have such a dream? Even if the Messiah is angry with Aragorn, it has nothing to do with me." ..."

Du Wei smiled wryly, and then suddenly felt a sense of depression in his heart, so he couldn't help but let go of his voice and yelled loudly: "Please! I am me! He is him! We are okay now, okay!!".

After shouting a few words like this, I felt a little relaxed in my heart.

At this time, there was someone knocking on the door outside, and I heard my younger brother Gabriel shouting anxiously outside: "Brother! Are you awake? God, how long are you going to sleep! I've been calling you all morning. This time!!"

Du Wei's heart moved, he coughed, and said as calmly as possible: "Well, you come in."

The door was slammed open, and Gabriel rushed in. As soon as he came in, he yelled loudly: "Brother! Such a big thing happened, and you don't feel it at all? Are you still sleeping so deeply?"

"Oh? What happened."

"The White Tower in the palace..."

With a look of excitement on his face, Gabriel quickly recounted what happened last night. The more he said, the more Du Wei muttered in his heart. Obviously, this matter has a lot to do with him... I couldn't help but look a little unnatural stand up.

Gabriel didn't notice his brother's expression before he mentioned that the Royal Forest Army had been mobilized in large numbers. Today, the patrols on the streets of the imperial capital also increased in frequency. At this time, he coughed from behind, and he turned around, only to see Qiao Qiao standing behind him. Her complexion seemed a little ugly, but Vivienne smiled gently.

Gabriel hurriedly laughed and said, "Ah! Good morning, sisters-in-law. Ah, no, it's good afternoon! Hahahaha, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first!"

finished. This kid turned around and ran away---he seemed to be very afraid of Qiao Qiao, just because Qiao Qiao was very bored in the imperial capital, so he often found this kid to fight and ride horses. Although Gabriel is good at martial arts, he doesn't have the strength of Jojo after all, and he is often practiced miserably.

Gabriel was driven away, and Vivienne and Qiaoqiao walked into the study. Vivienne still had a gentle smile on her face, but Qiaoqiao shouted dissatisfiedly: "Hey, Du Wei! Where did you go last night?" Don’t think I don’t know! Most of the things in the palace have something to do with you! Hmph. Damn it, you go out to do interesting things in the middle of the night! You didn’t tell me!! The two of us are still covering you at home! This kid Gabriel has come to the door several times since last night, because you are no longer, we just need to lie to him that you are dealing with important matters, practicing magic, and trying to heal hidden wounds. No one is allowed to disturb! This You just deceived your brother! You...how could you not tell such an interesting thing!"

Du Wei was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect that the pair of sisters hadn't been fooled, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"You! You're still laughing!" Qiao Qiao said angrily, "I don't know how many people came to look for you in the morning! We blocked them all! You...you should hurry up and tell me the truth, and you should also be grateful to us for covering you up." !"

Vivian at the back finally said timidly: "Sister, you, don't blame him. He, he went out last night. It must have been very hard."

Only then did Du Wei realize that it was on his body. But I don't know when a blanket was approved. Presumably when he fell asleep, the two wives knew about it a long time ago, so they came to cover themselves.

"Don't look at me! I'm not that kind. You came back sneakily last night. Instead of going back to your room, you went into the study. When I came to see you, you were already asleep! Hmph, it was Vivienne who stopped you. I didn't wake you up on the spot! This blanket was also covered by Vivian!" Qiao Qiao turned her head. He looked unhappy.

Vivienne came over, shook Du Wei's hand lightly, smiled softly, and said in a low voice, "How are you? Still tired. Are you tired? Last night. No, nothing happened. Danger……"

"Hmph!" Qiao Qiao suddenly exploded: "Vivian! You just know how to obey him blindly! He...he...he guy. It's too irritating!"

After finishing speaking, he ran over, grabbed Vivienne and left the study with strides.

Watching the pair of sisters leave, Du Wei was still a little tender in his heart, but suddenly, he remembered his dream last night...

For no reason, suddenly, an inexplicable uneasiness arose in my heart...

Well... so strange.

Where does this uneasy feeling come from?

Lolita? Messiah?

Um……

"Damn, this assessment is really difficult." Two students walked out of the lecture hall with bitter expressions on their faces, and one of them snickered, "I'm afraid I'm going to be punished by the dean again."

"Not necessarily." A young officer beside him smiled: "The principal is going to the front line soon, maybe he doesn't have time to beat us with military sticks."

"However, there are only ten places to go with the headmaster this time. If the exam is too bad and you don't get the chance to go to the front line, it will be too embarrassing!" The officer who spoke before sighed, but suddenly looked at ahead.

The two figures in front were standing under the tree talking in a low voice. One is Gabriel, and the other is the captain of this group of students, Yalor.

"Well, Gabriel is still lucky. He is the dean's younger brother. It is said that he will definitely be able to go out this time. I really envy him for having such a good brother." The officer smiled bitterly: "If I have such a good brother, can I I'm so lucky." "There's also Captain Yalor... Well, he fought in the Northwest, whether it was against the Northwest Grasslanders or the Northwest Legion's rebellion. Oh, you know what? The officer lowered his voice, and whispered mysteriously: "You have learned from the example of the defense of Giliad City... At the beginning, Captain Yalor personally led 300 cavalry to help Mr. Dean! They are old men. We've made friends, this time on the front line, I think Captain Yallor will definitely occupy a spot... Sigh, I'm so envious."

"It's useless to be envious." The previous officer said seriously: "The captain's training performance is one of the best among us. The dean took him out. It's not selfish. And Gabriel, the last two simulated deduction battles , he beat me to pieces. He has strength, so we don't have to be jealous."

At this time, Gabriel and Yalor, who were talking under the tree in front, turned their heads together and looked at the two people behind. Gabriel smiled and said loudly, "What are you two guys talking about? You didn't do well in the exam just now, so you don't know what to do?"

The two officers quickly approached, but they glanced at the saber on Gabriel's waist. The saber was not the standard in the academy, but had the serial number pattern of the regular army. The two couldn't help but enviously said: "This sword is The preparation of reinforcements going north?"

Gabriel smiled: "I just got it yesterday, and it feels good so I put it on."

"Unfortunately, we didn't do very well in the exam this time. I'm afraid we will lose our quota for going north." The slightly taller young officer on the left smiled wryly. He has brown-black hair and a thin build. .

"Oh? Didn't you do well in the exam?" Alor frowned. He has served as the captain of this group of students for nearly a year, and his prestige has also been established. When he asked a question, the two immediately stood up, and the officer on the right had a very handsome face and nodded. The expression is calm: "It's not too bad, but there is just one question, I feel very weird... Well, I actually asked who was the first non-military personnel to take an airship to the sky in the history of our Air Force airship. I think, naturally We are the dean. The airship was invented by the dean in the Luolin Plain. Of course, he himself was the first person to test the flight. But this guy..." He pointed to his companion and sighed: "This guy just said it was another There are people, but it’s not even written about in books.”

"Idiot, Mr. Dean is a general of the empire. How can he be regarded as a non-military person. Don't you think about the topic?" The thin black-haired young officer lightly thumped his companion, then looked at Gabriel: "Gabriel, tell me, is the answer the dean himself?"

Gabriel smiled: "It's true on paper. My brother was not a military officer back then, so it's not wrong to say that he was the first non-military person to test the flight... But, in fact, in private, this The answer is not accurate either. Because only people within our family know that it was the first test flight with my brother. There is indeed a real non-military personnel."

"Who?" The two couldn't help asking together.

"Okay." Alor frowned: "Hey, what does it look like!"

After a pause, his face softened a little. He glanced at these two guys and said softly: "You two, hurry back and prepare. Hmm... Although the official order has not yet come down. But I was in the dean before There is no doubt that the list was seen in the room. It seems to have the names of both of you."

The last sentence immediately made the two of them beam with excitement: "Really? What list? Is it the quota for the front line? Captain, you can't lie to us!"

"Give me some seriousness!" Yalore lowered his face: "You guys are making a fuss, do you still look like soldiers! If you go to the front line like this, don't lose the face of our college! Don't lose the dean's face." Face!"

The two young officers looked at each other, suppressed their smiles at the same time, stood upright, beat their chests with their left hands, and shouted in unison: "Yes!"

"Okay, go back and pack your things." Alor finally smiled: "By the way, your military ranks, if I read correctly, have also been fixed."

After a pause, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Aslan Sara!"

"Yes!" The thin, black-haired young officer responded immediately.

"Okay, you will be the cavalry commander in the cavalry regiment directly under the dean" Oh? Sir Dean's direct cavalry regiment? "The young officer named Aslan Sara immediately beamed with joy.

"And you." Yalor turned to look at the other one: "Kira!"

The slightly quieter young officer nodded with a calm expression, "Yes."

"I will be appointed commander of a cavalry battalion, and you will come and act as my deputy and herald for the time being."

This handsome young man named Kira was not too excited, but nodded vigorously, hiding his joy in his heart.

That Aslan Sara seemed to be more emotional: "Captain, when are we going to leave?"

"This..." Yalore glanced at Gabriel next to him: "Wait for the order from Master Dean."

The two hurriedly saluted and were about to leave when Aslan was dragged away by Kira. He still didn't forget to turn his head from a distance and ask: "Hey, Gabriel, who is the first non-military person to fly in an airship?"

In the northwest, the capital of Desa Province, Loulan City, Tulip Duke's Mansion.

"Hurry up, hurry up. Don't dawdle." Old Made yawned, but he was dressed for a long trip, and he even added thick leggings on his legs: "The carriage behind, move the things quickly Good! We are leaving in the morning!"

In the courtyard outside the castle of the Duke's Mansion, there was a busy scene. Teams of tulip family's personal guard cavalry were ready to go, and more than a dozen carriages were loading some strange boxes.

At this time, several people slowly came over, and the leader was the young Northwest Chief of Administration. Mr Philip.

"Master Mad." Philip walked over and smiled politely.

Everyone knows that although the chief manager of Made is a private servant of Du Wei's family, he is the first to follow Du Wei. Father and son in general.

Especially after the death of Count Raymond. Du Wei treated and respected Mader more and more, as if he transferred his nostalgia for his father to the old butler who raised him up since he was a child.

Therefore, in the northwest, whether it is a general in command or a chief executive like Philip, everyone treats Made with extra politeness and respect.

"Do you have to go in person?" Philip sighed, "Your Excellency is going north to the front this time. You are already so old..."

"Mr. Philip, I'm not old yet. I just turned 50 years old in August." Made tried to straighten his back: "Besides, I have taken care of him since he was a child. This time he went to the front line , I don’t worry about others following him, I always have to take care of his daily life myself.”

"But... in terms of danger... please forgive me, you are just an ordinary person after all. The front line..."

"It's because of the danger." Made suddenly smiled, and on his already wrinkled face, there was an unusual calmness: "Mr. Philip, I have lived a long time, and the young master treats me so Very good, I know it in my heart. I have no other wishes in this life, I just hope that this family will continue to develop in peace. You see. Anyway, I am old, and I have enjoyed the blessings I should have enjoyed in the past few years Yes. Although I am a servant manager, everyone here respects me like a lord. People live to this extent. I don’t have too many extravagant expectations.”

talking. He lowered his voice and said softly: "It's dangerous to fight on the front line. I understand. But it's because of this that I'm going! That little guy Sandy, but I have painstakingly trained a successor for several years, and I still hope that in the future After I die, he will be able to take on the duties of the general manager and help the young master take care of the housework of the big family! At this time, let me, a useless old guy, do such a dangerous thing as going to the front line. If ..."

Speaking of this, he shook his head, but his eyes were full of sincerity: "If the little guy Sandy is allowed to go to the front line, in case something happens to him, the successor of the chief internal affairs officer I have painstakingly trained for the young master will be gone. From now on I am dead, who will be responsible for helping the young master with housework? At my age, anyway, I will live a year less. So, this time, I let Sandy stay in the imperial capital, and I will personally take people to the north to have a round with the young master. .”

Philip sighed, with some sincere respect on his face.

This old butler who seemed a bit vulgar on weekdays was a...good guy.

"You don't have to worry about me." Made suddenly laughed, and puffed up his chest: "Don't underestimate me, Made, I'm not a waste either. You know, when the young master invented the airship, the The young master is not counted as the inventor, but I am Mad, but the first person in this world to fly in an airship! The first person in the whole continent! Hahahahahaha..." came out, and casually added Aspen to the two supporting roles. The two names Lan and Kira are not outrageous. Well, anyway, everyone knows that I am a fan of Robot Wars, and now it is okay to know that I am a fan of Gundam. So put Aslan and Kira on the stage, hahahaha----but, the real Asuka will not, because I don't like this guy, I like Gundam Seed, but I don't like Gundam.
