GOR Chapter 608 A Trace Of Haze
You think this is the end?
What are those words? Threat? Provocation? Or unwillingness? Resentment?
Du Wei knitted his brows deeply and retracted his hand. His mind was unable to calm down and he subconsciously pushed the coffin lid back.
Tonight … … he had discovered a lot of secrets!
A wry smile appeared on his face and Du Wei sighed deeply.
He looked around.
Mm … … if this is the tomb where Messiah is buried, then … … how do I get out?
There doesn't seem to be any exits around.
Du Wei knitted his brows as he pondered. The moment he thought about it, he sensed a change in the magic fluctuations coming from the Eternal Sun. Soon, a beam of light shone down upon him.
The surrounding space and light seemed to distort for a moment. A moment later, the light dissipated and he was surprised to find that he had returned to the central platform of the circular square.
"Eh? Did I just get out? "Du Wei was unable to stop himself from rubbing his eyes.
However, he could clearly see that the circular square was filled with craters created by the magic cannons. The circular platform beneath him was filled with carvings of a map. He had indeed returned to the underground maze.
Regardless, Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
His previous experience had made him somewhat nervous. Back then, when he entered the Demon Shrines, he had opened up a separate space. However, it was as though he had been imprisoned inside and it was difficult for him to get out. However … … thinking about it, this place was where Messiah was buried and not a prison. Thus, there should not be any magic restrictions placed upon it.
As he was breathing a sigh of relief, he suddenly sensed that the map beneath him … … had changed?
The circular platform beneath his feet was still faintly emitting a soft light. That light wasn't glaring, but the traces of the map engraved on it seemed to be gradually softening under the light of this magic power. Then, they started to twist, deform, and change their original positions. In the end, the lines reassembled themselves …
"Changed, changed?"
Du Wei widened his eyes.
These lines were like flowing water, gently flowing, and finally fixed in place. Du-Wei carefully looked at it again, and with the help of his memories to verify, he finally whispered out in a low voice.
"Map! Has it changed into the current state of the Imperial Capital?! "
Indeed, this map seemed to have undergone an independent "update". The original traces left behind were the terrain of the Magic City from ten thousand years ago, but now, with the shining of the magic light, the pattern on the map had completely changed into the current terrain of the Imperial City!
The Imperial Palace in the middle of the city, the Shrines and the Magician's Guild in the east and west of the city, as well as the city gates and the streets … Du Wei compared each and every one of them with the Imperial Capital that he knew in his heart, and they were actually exactly the same!!
"This thing can update itself!" Du Wei exclaimed.
However, this was not the only surprise!
The magic light on the entire platform under his feet still showed no signs of fading. He could only see the lines gradually shining. Then, on this huge platform map, countless bright spots began to appear like stars in the sky. These bright spots, some big and some small, only appeared on the map little by little. Soon, they became huge, densely packed, like a swarm of ants. It was impossible to count them with the naked eye. There were tens of thousands of them … and the number was still increasing!
"These … these are …"
Du Wei widened his eyes. And those bright spots, after some appeared, they stayed in place, and some seemed to be moving …
Finally, at the periphery of the map, for example, at the north of the river on the map, sporadic bright spots began to appear. One, two … ten … a hundred …
"Could it be …"
A thought suddenly appeared in Du Wei's mind.
Could it be … a monitoring magic circle?!
In other words, using magic to create something similar, similar to …
Something like a radar?!
This time, Du Wei was truly shocked from the bottom of his heart!
Such a thing was obviously based on the magic of a large number of magic crystals buried underground. The magic circle's automatic operation immediately used magic to reshape the topography of the entire surface, updating it to the current appearance of the Imperial Capital. This was already amazing enough. However, this magic circle was actually so exquisite. Not only could it sense the topography of the buildings, but it could also sense … people!!
The densely packed bright spots under his feet, one by one, represented the people on the ground! Especially here, where the palace was, there seemed to be a lot of moving light spots — as if they did not know what was happening on the surface. Could it be that a large number of royal guards were mobilized in the middle of the night?
Du Wei still doesn't know this, but because of his actions, he inadvertently triggered an ancient magic array and activated the white tower on the ground. Due to this, a strange light pillar appeared and caused chaos in the imperial city, causing the palace guards to be mobilized in large numbers.
After watching for a while, Du Wei pondered and guessed …
Yes, it was like this. This magic circle was not really able to sense everything. After all, there were more than a million people in the Imperial Capital. It was impossible to sense all of them on this huge map.
And although there were a lot of bright spots, there would not be more than a million of them.
And these bright spots, judging from the distribution of the areas, seemed to be in the Imperial Palace, the Light Shrines, the Magician's Guild, and the surrounding area of the city walls. There were also the garrison of the royal guards outside the city … The bright spots were especially obvious in these places, and there were much fewer in other places.
And the streets where the civilians lived rarely had bright spots.
In other words, this magic circle seemed to be able to sense people with stronger powers.
He could clearly sense the presence of mages, warriors, and elite troops, but he had neglected the presence of commoners.
Then …
"If this is a radar, then it is a real military radar." Du Wei was deeply shocked and sighed, "I did not expect that the demon race from ten thousand years ago had already advanced to such a level in magic civilization?! Humans today are far from it! "
Du Wei immediately realized that this was a wonderful thing.
But … it seemed that he could not take it away.
Du Wei thought for a while and gave up on the idea of taking it for himself. After all, this was a complete magic circle. Even if he was determined to dig out the entire round table … Let's not talk about whether he could transport it out. Even if he could, without the magic circle, this thing would be useless.
What a waste of a good thing.
His appetite was aroused, and he yearned even more for the advanced magic civilization of the demon race from ten thousand years ago. He could not help but lie on the round table and search around, hoping to find more valuable things.
Finally, hard work paid off.
Du Wei almost did not care about his image as he crawled around the round table, knocking here and there. He did not even let go of a stone slab. Finally, at the edge of the top, after he knocked, it seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism. A stone slab flipped over, and the color inside was actually golden!
Du Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that he had found a new discovery. He reached inside and felt around, only to find a piece of light purple crystal.
"Hmm? Magic crystal? Magic gemstone? "Du Wei could not help but feel disappointed when he saw it.
It was just a piece of magic gemstone. Ever since he got his hands on the Dragon God's collection, it can be said that he had as many as he wanted. Although the one in his hand looks to be of excellent quality, but to Du Wei, it's still nothing.
He was a little disappointed, but then his heart skipped a beat. Since this thing was placed so carefully by the demon race, there must be something strange about it. It was a pity that he did not have any magic now, and could not pry into the use of this magic gemstone. Saimel seemed to have exhausted her magic too.
Forget it, let's bring it back first!
He estimated the time and decided to leave. When he left the central round table, he was still worried about how to break through the magic cannons again. But when he threw out a few stone slabs, he found that the magic cannons did not seem to have any reaction.
Hmm? Could it be that their magic power was exhausted?
Of course, Du Wei did not know that he had used up all his magic power when he chanted that incantation. The magic cannons had lost their magic power foundation and could not be used for the time being. They had to wait for the magic array to operate on its own and slowly recover its magic power before they could be reactivated.
Du Wei left this place quickly and returned to the exit through the secret passage.
When he opened the stone slabs above his head and returned to Lanlan's bedroom, the sky was still dark. But from afar, from the window, there seemed to be a lot of light coming from the center of the Imperial City. It seemed that there were many people holding torches in the middle of the night, and that area was faintly illuminated.
On the bed, Lanlan was still lying there quietly with her eyes closed in a deep sleep. Her body was still covered by the blanket that Du Wei had draped over her.
Du Wei heaved a sigh of relief. After checking the room carefully and making sure that nothing was out of the ordinary, he smiled bitterly at the sleeping Lanlan and said, "Sorry to disturb you tonight."
He opened the window and leaped out like a leopard cat. Then, he closed the window silently.
In the center of the Imperial Palace, there was a faint hubbub of voices. When he came out of the room, he could hear the shouts of many soldiers and the sound of leather boots running back and forth.
Du Wei felt even more uneasy. He looked at the flowerbed in the distance and was about to dash over. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of someone breathing in the distant darkness.
He heard a young voice that sounded a little helpless. That figure stood at the entrance of the courtyard. Under the cover of the night, it seemed to be the figure of a young man.
"Lan, Lanlan …" The man seemed to be anxious, but he still stood at the entrance of the courtyard and did not enter. He seemed to be stomping his feet on the spot. Then, he mustered his courage and said loudly, "Lanlan! My feelings for you are true! Although you are not willing to see me tonight, I will not give up! Hmm … Something happened in the Imperial City. I, I cannot stay here for long! I will go! Tomorrow night, after my shift ends tomorrow night, I will come here too! If you do not see me for a day, I will come here every night! Unless you reject me personally, I will not give up! "
He paused for a moment. Probably because there was no response from inside, the man's voice was faintly trembling. He said loudly, "Lanlan! Everything that I, Qi Pu, said just now was true! Ever since the coup four years ago, after the battle with the Imperial Army, you and the other palace maids came to save the injured soldiers. After I saw you that day, I have not forgotten your figure for the past few years! Alright! I will go now! "
After saying that, the young figure turned around and ran away with hurried footsteps.
Du Wei sighed and turned back to look at Lanlan's room behind him.
"Hmm, he is also an infatuated person." Duwei smiled and quickly rushed to the flowerbed. Finding the entrance, he drilled in and covered the top of the stone slab. Only then did he return from the long way.
He followed the underground canal and sneaked all the way to the outskirts of the Imperial City.
But at this time, he was hiding under the water. He could hear groups of Imperial Army running back and forth from time to time, as if something had happened.
Du Wei frowned and could only hide in the canal for a while. He then continued to swim out. He swam far away from the Imperial City before there was no movement above.
Du Wei came out of the canal and rushed back to the Duke's Mansion under the cover of the night. On the way, he met many patrolling soldiers. Du Wei relied on his strong skills and avoided them all. No one noticed him.
Finally, he returned home. Du Wei was really tired after working for half the night. His mental strength was not as strong as before. Although his body was not tired, he was gradually getting sleepy. It was so late at night, he could not go back to his room for fear of waking up the sisters. He could only sleep in the study.
But this sleep, who knows how many strange dreams he had.
In the dream, it seemed that he could not get rid of the crystal coffin …
It was as if in the dream, he could not help but reach out to open the coffin and see that it was empty. Then, he faintly heard a voice full of resentment and indignation!
"Aragon! Do you think this is the end!! "
"Aragon! Do you think this is the end!! "
"Aragon! Do you think this is the end!! "
"Aragon! Do you think this is the end!! "
"Aragon! Do you think … "
— — —
"Ah!" Du Wei exclaimed and woke up from the dream. He was still leaning on the chair in the study. Looking outside, the sky was already bright.
He touched his head and rubbed his eyes hard. He sighed and said to himself: "Damn it, why did I have this kind of dream? Even if Messiah resents Aragon, it has nothing to do with me … "
Duwei bitterly smiled, and then suddenly felt depressed in his heart. He couldn't help but shout out loud, "Please! I am me! He is him! We have nothing to do with each other!! "
After shouting a few times, he felt his heart relax a little.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. He heard his little brother Gabriel anxiously shouting: "Brother! Are you awake? Heavens, how long are you going to sleep for? I have come to wake you up several times this morning!! "
Du Wei's heart moved. He coughed and said in a calm voice: "En, come in."
The door was pushed open with a bang and Gabriel rushed in. As soon as he came in, he shouted, "Brother! Such a big thing happened and you didn't feel anything? You even slept so deeply? "
"Oh? What happened? "
"The White Tower in the Imperial Palace …"
Gabriel's face was full of excitement as he quickly told Duwei about what had happened last night. The more he spoke, the more Duwei's heart began to worry. Obviously, this matter was related to him … … Duwei's face couldn't help but become somewhat unnatural.
Gabri didn't notice his brother's expression. He was just talking about the mobilization of the Royal Army and the increase in patrols on the streets of the Imperial Capital. At this moment, he heard a cough from behind him. He turned around and saw Jojo standing behind him. She didn't seem to be in a good mood, but Vivian had a gentle smile on her face.
Gabriel quickly smiled and said: "Ah! Good morning, sisters-in-law. Ah, that's not right, good afternoon! Ahahaha, I still have something to do. I'll take my leave first! "
After saying that, the kid turned around and ran – he seemed to be very afraid of Jojo. It was only because Jojo was bored in the Imperial Palace that she often looked for this kid to fight and ride. Although Gabriel's martial arts were not bad, he did not have Jojo's strength. Thus, he was often badly drilled.
After chasing Gabriel away, Vivian and Jojo walked into the study room. Vivian still had a gentle smile on her face while Jojo shouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, Du Wei! Where did you go last night? Don't think I don't know! What happened in the Imperial Palace is most likely related to you! Humph, hateful, you went out in the middle of the night to do something interesting! But you didn't tell me! The two of us were still at home covering for you! Since last night, that kid Gabriel had come to our room several times. Since you weren't around, we only needed to lie to him and say that you were dealing with something important, practicing magic and trying to heal your hidden injuries. No one was allowed to disturb you! That was how we managed to deceive your little brother! You … how could you not tell him about such an interesting matter? "
Du Wei was stunned. He did not expect that he would not be able to deceive the sisters. He could not help but smile bitterly.
"You! You're still smiling! "Jojo angrily said:" Who knows how many people came looking for you this morning! We stopped them all! You … you should hurry up and tell me the truth. You should be grateful that we are covering for you! "
Vivian, who was behind them, finally spoke up timidly: "Sister, you, you don't have to blame him. He, he went out last night. Presumably, it must have been very tiring for him. "
Only then did Du Wei realize that a blanket had unknowingly been placed over his body. Presumably, when he was asleep, his two wives had already known about it and came over to cover him.
"Don't look at me! I am not that kind. Last night, you sneaked back and did not return to your room. Instead, you sneaked into the study room. When I came to check on you, you were already asleep! Humph, it was Vivian who stopped me, so I did not kick you awake on the spot! Vivian was also the one who covered you with this blanket! "Jojo turned her head, a look of displeasure on her face.
Vivian walked over and gently held Du Wei's hand. She gave a gentle smile and whispered: "You, how are you? Still tired, are you tired? Last night, did, did you encounter any danger … "
"Humph!" Jojo suddenly flared up: "Vivian! You only know how to obey him! He … he … he this fellow, he is too infuriating! "
After saying that, she ran over and pulled Vivian with her as they left the study room.
Watching the pair of sisters leave, Du Wei's heart was still feeling somewhat warm. However, he suddenly recalled the dream he had last night …
For no apparent reason, an inexplicable sense of unease suddenly rose up within his heart …
So … so strange.
Where did this feeling of unease come from?
Rorita? Messiah?
En …

"Damn it, this assessment is so damn difficult." The two students who walked out of the lecture hall had bitter expressions on their faces. One of them snickered and said: "This time, I fear we will have to suffer the Dean's military rod."
"That may not be the case." The young officer beside him smiled: "The Dean will be going to the front lines soon. Who knows, he might not have the time to give us a military rod."
"However, there are only ten spots for the Dean's expedition this time. If our results are too bad, we will not get the chance to go to the front lines. That would be too shameful!" The officer who spoke earlier sighed. Then, he suddenly looked ahead.
There were two figures standing under a tree in front of him. They were whispering something. One of them was Gabriel and the other was the Captain of this batch of students, Yaluoer.
"Sigh, Gabriel is the lucky one. He is the Dean's younger brother. It is said that he will definitely be able to go to war this time. I really envy him for having such a good brother. "The officer smiled bitterly:" If only I had such a good brother, I would be too lucky. "
"There is also Captain Yaluoer … en, he had fought in the Northwest before. Regardless of whether it was against the Northwest Prairie people or the Northwest Army rebellion, he performed outstandingly … oh, did you know?" The officer lowered his voice and whispered mysteriously: "You must have learned from the battle of Anglia City … At that time, Captain Yaluoer personally led 300 cavalrymen to reinforce the Dean! They are old friends. This time, Captain Yaluoer will definitely have a spot on the front lines … Sigh, I really envy them. "
"Envy is useless." The officer from before sternly said: "The Captain's training results are one of the best among us. The Dean is not biased in bringing him to war. There is also Gabriel. In the last two simulation battles, he completely defeated me. He has the strength, so we don't need to be jealous. "
At this time, Gabriel and Yaluoer who were talking under the tree turned their heads to look at the two behind them. Gabriel smiled and loudly said: "What are you two talking about? You did too badly in the exam just now, so you don't feel confident? "
The two officers hurriedly walked over and glanced at the sword at Gabriel's waist. The sword wasn't made by the academy. Instead, it had the serial patterns of the regular army. The two officers couldn't help but say with envy, "This sword must be made for the northern reinforcements, right?"
Gabriel smiled and said, "I just got it yesterday. It felt pretty good, so I put it on."
"It's a pity that we didn't do too well in the exam this time. I'm afraid the quota for the north will be gone." The slightly taller young officer on the left smiled bitterly. He had a head of dark brown hair and a thin figure.
"Oh? You didn't do well in the exam? "Yaluoer frowned. He had been the leader of this group of students for nearly a year, and his prestige had been established. When he asked the question, the two people immediately stood up. The officer on the right had a delicate face. He nodded and said calmly, "Not too bad, but there is a question that I feel is very strange … Well, he actually asked who was the first non-military person to fly in an airship in the history of our air force airships. I think it's naturally our Dean. The airship was invented by the Dean back in the Rollin Plains. He himself is naturally the first person to test it out. But this fellow … "He pointed at his companion and sighed:" This fellow insists that it was someone else, but there is no record of it in the books. "
"Idiot, Sir Dean is an Imperial General. How can he be considered a 'non-military personnel'? Don't you use your brain to look at the question? " The thin and black-haired young officer lightly punched his companion and then looked at Gabriel: "Gabriel, tell me, is the Dean himself the answer?"
Gabriel smiled and said, "On paper, that is correct. Back then, my brother wasn't in the military, so it is not wrong to say that he was the first non-military personnel to test out the airship … however, in private, this answer is not accurate. Because only the people in our family know that back then, there was indeed a real 'non-military personnel' who tested out the airship together with my brother. "
"Who?" The two couldn't help but ask.
"Alright." Yaluoer frowned: "Laughing and joking, what are you doing!"
After pausing for a moment, his expression softened a little. He glanced at the two fellows and said gently, "You two, hurry back and prepare. Hmm … although the official order hasn't been issued yet, I saw the name list in the Dean's office. It seems like your names are on it. "
The last sentence immediately made the two of them excited and happy. "Really? What name list? Could it be the quota to go to the frontlines? Captain, you can't lie to us! "
"Be serious!" Yaluoer's face sank: "You two are making a fuss over nothing, do you still look like soldiers! If you go to the frontlines like this, don't lose face for our academy! And don't lose face for the Dean! "
The two young officers looked at each other and restrained their smiles at the same time. They stood up straight, thumping their chests with their left hands and shouted: "Yes!"
"Alright, go back and pack your things." Yaluoer finally smiled: "Right, your military ranks, if I'm not wrong, have been decided."
After a pause, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Aslan Sala!"
"Yes!" The thin and black-haired young officer immediately replied.
"Alright, you will be the Knight Commander of the Dean's cavalry regiment."
"Oh? The Dean's cavalry regiment? "The young officer called Aslan Sala's face was immediately filled with joy.
"And you." Yaluoer turned to look at the other one: "Kira!"
The slightly quieter young officer with a calm expression nodded: "Yes."
"I will be appointed as the commanding officer of a cavalry battalion. You will come over and temporarily act as my assistant and messenger."
The delicate and pretty young man called Kira wasn't too excited. He just nodded vigorously and hid his joy in his heart.
Aslan Sala seemed to be more emotional: "Captain, when do we leave?"
"This … …" Yaluoer glanced at Gabriel beside him: "Wait for the Dean's orders."
The two of them hurriedly saluted and were about to leave when that Aslan guy was dragged away by Kira. He did not forget to turn his head and ask from afar, "Hey, Gabriel, who was the first 'non-military personnel' to fly in an airship?"

Northwest, Loulan City, Desa Province, Duke's Mansion.
"Hurry up, don't dilly-dally." Old Mard yawned. He was dressed as if he was about to go on a long journey. Even his legs were covered with thick leg guards: "The carriages behind, hurry up and carry the things! We are leaving in the morning! "
The courtyard outside the Duke's Mansion was bustling with activity. Squads of the Tulip Family's cavalry were ready to go. More than a dozen carriages were transporting some strange boxes.
At this time, several people slowly walked over. The one in the lead was the young Northwest's Chief Administrator, Mr. Philip.
"Chief Mard." Philip walked over and smiled politely.
Everyone knew that although this Chief Mard was Du Wei's private servant, he was the first person to follow Du Wei. He carried Du Wei in his arms since he was a child. His relationship with Du Wei was so deep that they were almost like father and son.
Especially after Earl Raymond's death, Du Wei treated Mard with even more preferential treatment and respect. It was as if he had transferred his feelings for his father to this old butler who had carried him since he was a child.
Therefore, in the Northwest, whether it was a general or a chief administrator like Philip, everyone was especially polite and respectful to Mard.
"Do you have to go personally?" Philip sighed: "Your Lordship is going north to the frontlines this time. You're already so old … … "
"Mr. Philip, I'm not old yet. When August comes, I'll only be 50 years old." Mard tried to straighten his back: "Besides, I've been taking care of the young master since he was a child. This time he's going to the frontlines, I don't feel at ease with others following him. I have to personally take care of his daily life. "
"But … … the danger … … forgive me for being presumptuous, but after all, you're just an ordinary person. The frontlines … … "
"It's precisely because of the danger." Mard suddenly smiled. On his wrinkled face, there was a trace of unusual calmness: "Mr. Philip, I've lived for a long time. The young master has been very good to me, and I naturally know this. I, Mard, have no other wish in this life. I only wish for this family to develop peacefully. You see, I'm already so old. These past few years, I've already enjoyed all the blessings I should have. Although I'm just a servant manager, everyone here respects me as if I'm their master. At this point in life, I don't have too many extravagant wishes. "
With that, he lowered his voice and softly said: "The frontlines are dangerous, I understand. But it's precisely because of this that I have to go! Sandy, that little guy, is a successor that I've painstakingly cultivated for several years. I still hope that in the future, after I die, he can take over the responsibility of the chief servant and help the young master to take care of the family's internal affairs! At this time, going to the frontlines is a dangerous matter. Let this useless old man go. If … … "
At this point, he shook his head, but his eyes were full of sincerity: "If I let that little guy Sandy go to the frontlines, in case something happens to him, the successor that I've painstakingly cultivated for the young master will be gone. After I die, who will be responsible for the young master's household affairs? At my age, anyway, one year of life is one year less. Therefore, this time, I'll let Sandy stay in the capital. I'll personally lead people to the north to meet with the young master. "
Philip sighed, and a look of genuine respect appeared on his face.
This seemingly vulgar old butler was … … a good person.
"You don't have to worry about me." Mard suddenly laughed and puffed out his chest: "Don't underestimate me, Mard, I'm not a useless person. You know, when the young master invented the airship, other than the young master, I, Mard, was the first person in the world to fly in an airship! The first person in the whole continent! Hahahahaha … … "

(Cough cough, since I've already written Bai Hechou, it's not too far-fetched to casually add the names Aslan and Kira to the two supporting characters. Alright, since everyone knows that I'm a fan of mecha battles, it's not a big deal to know that I'm a fan of Gundam. So let's let Aslan and Kira battle, hahahaha … … But Flying Bird won't, because I don't like this guy. I like Gundam SEED, but I don't like Gundam SEED-D.)
Finally, I beg for monthly votes!
There's still one more day to double the monthly votes. If you have monthly votes, quickly vote for me.
Tomorrow, there will be an explosion!)
