Chapter 348 (1/2)
When!
When! When! When
The big wall clock in the study rings twelve times. It's midnight. Dewey sat in a chair in his study, yawning bored. He shook the empty bottle in his hand and sighed.
”What a boring night.” He seemed to smile. Then he looked up at the portraits of the ancestors of the Luolin family hanging on the wall.
Well, there won't be any magic creatures coming out of a painting tonight.
Du Wei had this ridiculous idea in his mind, and then he felt that he was idle and bored anyway. He just jumped down from his chair, and then set up a magic border at the door of his study, moved over the shelf, climbed onto the shelf, and opened the mechanism on the shelf
Looking at the familiar entrance of the tunnel, Dewey smiles and walks in at random.
It's still dark and gloomy here, but for Dewey, there's nothing to be afraid of. He went directly to the bottom, and then cleverly knocked on the pattern of Big Dipper on the ceiling to open the secret room where he found Semel's relics.
I went back to the room and looked at the big stone platform in front of me. It was here at the beginning that I opened the last words left by Semel. It was a magic circle, but after reading the last words, it was abandoned.
In fact, there is really nothing here. At the beginning, Dewey has thoroughly checked it. Even several iron cabinets in the room have been opened by him. There is really nothing valuable. But Dewey is just idle tonight, sitting in the study. Just come in and have a look.
He simply sat down on the big stone platform, and then stroked the magic pattern on the stone back and forth. When I first came here, I was just a novice in magic, but now, according to Dewey's magic attainments, the design of this magic array is really exquisite. Obviously, my great great grandmother. Magic power is really brilliant.
He thought of Semel who had not heard from him for many days... Alas, this woman is really mean. She said she didn't care about herself for a month, but she really didn't come out... Why.
He lazily went to the stone slab and looked at the ceiling of the secret room at random
After a while, Dewey suddenly jumped up. He was still lazy, but now his eyes narrowed. He looked at the ceiling carefully, then frowned
It seems... Strange.
There are several concave patterns on the ceiling of the secret room, which duvet had seen when he first came here. However, at that time, duvet felt these concave places several times and then judged them. It should have been inlaid with several magic gems for lighting.
But now, with Dewey's increasing attainments in magic, we can see a little difference when we look at the appearance of the ceiling today!
He stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch the ceiling. Fortunately, now he was older and much taller than when he first came here. He was standing on a stone slab. So I didn't work as hard as I used to. I reached out and touched the ceiling for a while, and he pressed several concave parts of the pattern with force
And then, just then, all of a sudden
Boom!!
The two stone slabs of the ceiling above his head suddenly separated from each other, as if a door had been opened, and then the dust covered the sky immediately. Whoa, whoa, whoa. A man who didn't know what was covering his face with choking dust. Suddenly, he fell down and hit duvet's head heavily.
Du Wei let out a cry and squatted down with his head in his hands. He showed his teeth in pain for a while. Then he looked at the thing carefully
Because I don't know how many years have passed, the thick layer of ash on it has completely covered up its original appearance. Du Wei blew hard, and the dust immediately spread out, which made Du Wei cough. He didn't dare to blow any more, so he had to wipe it with his sleeve
Huh?
When the dust is wiped away, the original color inside is revealed
Dewey's eyes were wide.
Gold?
He pinched hard, it's gold?!!
The gold plate was about four fingers thick. It was heavy in his hand. Du Wei could not care about the dust on his face. He sat down and quickly wiped the dust on it with his sleeve. Finally, it showed its true colors.
”It's a book, isn't it?”
Dewey took a breath. His mouth was full of dust. It's a book, but it's pure gold. Moreover, the stitching is very tight. Dewey tries to play with it, but finds that it can't be opened at all.
Is it too old to be stuck?
Duvet thought for a moment. He immediately took a dagger out of the storage ring and held it in his hand. He was about to try to insert it into the seam, but suddenly he heard a voice behind him.
”If I were you, I wouldn't do it.”
”Ah Du Wei was startled for a moment, and quickly turned to look, but saw Semel with a strange face, standing quietly behind him, but her body was floating
