Chapter 601 (1/2)
As soon as he heard the sound, Dewey's brows first drew tightly together, then stretched out. Silent for a while, the corners of the mouth smile, the voice with a little mocking flavor: ”really surprised me. I haven't heard your voice for a long time. It's really frightening to hear it all of a sudden. ”
He slowly turned around, behind him, a pretty figure was floating there, bright red robe, silver hair, beautiful appearance, but the expression in his eyes and face was very cold.
”I thought you would only come out when I called for help.” Dewey raised his eyebrows. ”Long time no see. Should I call you Shamir? Or should I call you ”great great great grandmother”
Semel's face was as deep as water, and she didn't seem to care about Duwei's two jokes. Her eyes were cold, but with a faint strange color. She looked at Duwei two eyes, shook her head and said, ”I told you, no matter what, you are the descendant of the Rowling family. You always cry for help. You really lose the reputation of the ancestors of the Rowling family.”
”And you?” Dewey gazed at each other with his eyes: ”is it very impressive that Semel, the legendary astrologer of the mainland, my great great grandmother, pretends to be dead and seals himself in an oil painting?”
Their eyes crossed, as if a series of sparks were excited. After a while, Semel lowered his head and said, ”do you... Know?”
”I didn't know until later.” Du Wei said faintly: ”I learned later that the magical creature running around in front of me with bare legs was really my great grandmother. My grandmother, you've kept it from me. ”
”How do you know?” Semel's figure seemed to quiver.
”Life.” Dewey's voice was very serious: ”when I was young, I might have been deceived by the words of some magical creature. But now... At least I know the true meaning of power level. Hum, creating a new life is not what Semel can do! Only the gods, such as the ancient demons, can have the ability to create life. My great great grandmother, though the first astrologer in mainland China, is not the only one who can create a life. So... I started from that time. I began to understand. ”
At this point, he deliberately pause, eyes flashing light, staring at each other in front of: ”you are not a magic creature, you are my great grandmother, Semel himself!”
Silence
Dewey's last words moved Semel's face. However, she did not immediately refute or argue. After a moment's silence, her expression gradually became obscure and gloomy.
For a long time, a gentle sigh: ”I... I also know later.”
There was a trace of sadness in her smile: ”when I was awakened by you, I really thought I was just a magic creature. But... I'm not. I'm just pretending to be dead. Then, I put a few seals on myself. Until later, the seal was gradually untied, and I recovered my memory bit by bit. Slowly understand... I, it's me. ”
”Why?” Dewey shook his head. ”Why is that?”
Semel's face was a little blank: ”I don't know. The seal I gave myself at the beginning has not been completely untied, and I still have a part of my memory, which can not be completely recovered. So, I don't understand a lot of doubts. ”
Dewey thought: according to legend, this great great grandmother. It was because of her sad husband's death that year, and later she died of depression. After all, it involved some sad things and privacy of the other party. He didn't ask much, so he shook his head and said, ”anyway, you haven't shown up for a long time. I thought you had found a way out of me and left long ago
”I'm... sorry.” Semel seems to be somewhat apologetic: ”you have encountered several crises, but the strength level is too different. I can't help you either. So. I didn't show up. When you went to that overseas island... I... I... ”
”What's the matter with you?”
”I dare not show my face.” There was a deep fear in Semel's eyes. She was afraid. I don't know where it comes from, but it's full of expression: ”that guy named Chris has a breath that makes me afraid. When you face it, I don't know what's going on. I've exhausted all my courage, and I absolutely dare not show up in front of him... I don't know what's going on, and I should never have seen this Chris, But when you face him, I can feel that kind of breath that makes me afraid. That kind of fear makes me gasp, and I dare not even move. ”
Dewey frowned.
”I still have a part of my memory that hasn't been restored, and some of my seals haven't been untied.” Semel sighed: ”I don't know what's going on. I try to get myself a physical body again. It seems that there is a way in my memory that I can really resurrect, instead of maintaining a spiritual state as I am now. ”
At this point, she shook her head hard, her face was abrupt, she looked at Du Wei, and her tone became indifferent: ”I don't need to explain this to you. In short... I can recognize the map you see in your hand. I drew it myself in those days. ”
”You?” ”How did you get this?” Dewey asked? It's a royal secret. How can you get it? And why do you leave such a thing? What is the purpose? ”
”I don't know.” Semel shook her head. She looked calm: ”I can't answer your question myself. The only memory I can remember is that I drew this picture by myself. I can recognize my own handwriting. As for why it was in the planetarium... I think it was kept there when I was the owner of the planetarium for a short time
Dewey's eyes lit up: ”yes, that makes sense. You used to be a curator and the chief astrologer of the palace. Only as the chief astrologer of the palace, can you have a chance to enter and leave the palace! But... The secret way to the white tower is... ”
Semel stares at Dewey: ”if you want to know the answer. Why don't you go in the secret way and have a look? ”
Du Wei's face suddenly changed and he suddenly looked at Semel. His tone became more serious: ”I remember that you are not a person who likes to take risks to do such absurd things! There is a large group of court magicians guarding the white tower. It is said that there is a powerful magic array left by Aragon, and... Although there is a secret way to get in and out, can you get in and out of the palace at will? This involves the biggest secret and iron law of the royal family. Once something happens... It's a big trouble! ”
Saimeiman did not care to pick eyebrows: ”but. My memory tells me that it seems very important. When you get this map, I recognize it and immediately think of something. I don't know how, I feel vaguely that there seems to be something very important to me inside the white tower which is the last guide in this map. Maybe I can untie all the seals on me. ”
Dewey said, ”I don't want to get into trouble. Whatever's in the white tower. It's a royal secret. I don't need to provoke the royal family at this time. I have enough things to worry about now. ”
Semel wanted to say more, but when he saw Dewey's face, he suddenly laughed and said deliberately, ”then why don't you just destroy this thing? Why do you collect it so carefully? Didn't you make up your mind. In the future... Hum, Dewey, don't waste your time. I know your temperament very well. This kind of thing. Since it arouses your curiosity, if you don't follow this secret path to go in and have a look, I'm afraid you can't even sleep at night! Well, it's still early. You still have time to prepare. We can start in the evening. ”
Dewey stares at Semel. After a while, he sighs helplessly: ”OK. You win. ”
In this day and day, there were many visitors in the Duke's mansion, all of them were aristocrats of the imperial capital. I heard that Dewey was going to the front line soon to visit the future commander of the front line, Lala, and say goodbye.
But Dewey doesn't see visitors.
During the day, Dewey closed the door. I had a good sleep. After getting up in the evening. I also prepared some things and tools. After thinking about it, I didn't tell Vivian and Joe about it. Otherwise, with Qiao Qiao's fear that the world would not be in chaos, he would certainly follow him noisily.
I promised to go to the secret road to have a look, just want to satisfy my curiosity, don't want to really do anything, but if I take Qiao Qiao to go, I'm sure there will be some trouble.
In the evening, when the clock struck ten, it was exactly ten o'clock. At this time, according to the Convention, all the entrances and exits of the palace had to be closed and locked.
The hundred and ten teams of the imperial guards began to patrol around the huge imperial city according to the patrol route. At ten o'clock in the evening, the door of the imperial palace is closed. Unless it is a major military and state affair, even the prince and princess are not allowed to go in and out of the imperial palace.
At this time, on the northeast side of the Imperial City, by the side of the diversion canal behind the Imperial City, Duwei took advantage of the cover of the night, dressed in tight black, cat waist ran to the side of the canal, listened to the surrounding movement, and then carefully walked into the canal. He didn't jump directly, because he was afraid that the diving would make a sound.
The diversion canal is an artificial river introduced from the Lancang canal to the imperial city. The daily water use in the imperial city is two such diversion canals, one in and one out. In case of war, the diversion canal can also act as a moat.
The two diversion canals surrounded the imperial city from both sides in the middle, leaving only a spacious Imperial City Square in front. It was in that place that the eldest prince launched the coup that day.
These two diversion canals were built 1000 years ago, and later generations have also undergone several renovations. Underground waterways, old canals plus new canals, have complicated diversion canals, and some old canals have dried up because of the changes in terrain after renovation.
After duvet got into the canal and swam for a while, he went underground. Under the canal, the water is still very cold this season. However, for Dewey's abnormal body, nature is nothing.
Dive all the way down, and soon swim through the open section of the canal to the underground culvert. But at this time, in front of the ditch mouth, is a strong iron fence, will block the way under the culvert.
This is also a protective function, otherwise. How can you let people swim in from this canal?
Du Wei dived in the water, swam to the fence and pinched it hand in hand. The iron fence was covered with rust, but every iron fence was as thick as an arm. Dewey held it in both hands. With the strength of his strong body, he saw the two iron bars in the water slowly deforming in his hands. It was soon twisted and bent.
Under the cold water, there was darkness around him. Dewey lost his sensitive perception. He had all his brute force, but he couldn't see the road around him. Fortunately, there's Semel. Semel is a spirit. But he was not afraid of the dark. Under the guidance from time to time, Dewey passed several undercurrents behind the culvert. Through six fences.
The canal has been around for many years. Although the river is cleaned every year, there are a lot of stains accumulated in the underdrain. Duwei swam all the way here. Although he was not afraid of the cold, the smell was really uncomfortable.
Finally, under the culvert. When he got to a place where the water potential was slightly lower, he came out of the water and took a deep breath. He felt dizzy, and he was also contaminated with some green algae and other things.
