The 82nd chapter "Strange palace"
According to the words of this mouse prime minister, when Queen Medusa is asleep, in this so-called "Kingdom of the Evil Eye", the prime minister is the number one leader …
With such a hostage, or rather a coerced companion. Du Wei's group of three, plus the rat-shaped person, set out together towards Queen Medusa's palace.
Along the way, all the rats that saw these people turned around and ran, deeply confirming the famous saying "cover your head and run like a rat". In the previous chaos, the prime minister was captured, but these rats did not have the slightest bit of courage to take back their leader … It seems that from ancient times until now, the description of cowardly people as "rat guts" is indeed true.
Of course, this animal kingdom does not only have rats, there are also some crows. Those are spies that Gege Wu used the little bit of magic he knows to make. These feathered beasts can only hover in the air and caw "Outsiders! Outsiders! ". Then these noisy voices annoyed Hussain, who shot out his Dou Qi sword, killing seven or eight of them before scattering.
Gege Wu saw this and could not help but sigh in pain: "Ah, Sir Knight, could it be that you do not know how much effort I spent and how many experiments I did to train these crows to be sentries and teach them to speak …"
Du Wei could not help but be somewhat curious: "How did you teach these crows to speak?"
Gege Wu smiled: "I am proficient in transformation magic, so naturally I have the deepest understanding of living creatures. I have spent the first half of my life studying animals. Not to mention a crow, even if it was a horse … "
"I remember telling you that if I hear you lie again, I will cut off your rat head." Hussain coldly interrupted the rat prime minister's boasting. Knight said indifferently: "You think I can't see through it? Those crows can't speak at all, it's just that you used magic to change their voices. Crows were not intelligent, but they at least had animal instincts. They could distinguish between those they knew and those they didn't. When they met outsiders, they would caw. You've modified their voices with magic. These crows aren't speaking human language at all. You've just modified their cries to sound like 'outsider'. Du Wei, if you don't believe me, you can ask this rat to order those crows to say something else. If those crows don't say anything, I'll immediately cut off its rat head! "
Gargamel obediently shut his mouth as soon as he heard this. Du Wei snickered in his heart, but he was also quite interested in Gege Wu's wonderful ideas. It turned out that it had merely used magic to modify the crow's vocal cords and tongue. In Du Wei's previous world, people who raised parrots would use utensils to flatten the parrots' tongues when they were young so that the parrots could speak. Although the methods were different, the general principle was the same.
Du Wei thought for a while and laughed: "Gege Wu, actually I understand your thoughts. You were originally a human, but now you've become an animal. The most annoying thing in your heart is that people see you as an animal that can speak human language. They see you as a monster. Therefore, although you live in this uninhabited place, you can't help but want the animals around you to be able to speak human language. That way, you won't be lonely, right? "
Hearing this, Gege Wu didn't say anything. However, when he looked at Du Wei's eyes, he couldn't help but reveal some emotions.
Inside the canyon, there were two walls that had already been built. These walls were tall and majestic, looking extraordinary! Although they were simply piled up with some large stones and looked slightly crude, they were tall and big enough!
"We have many strong slaves. There are many Treants in the canyon, all of whom were petrified by Queen Medusa. After being petrified by Medusa, not only will you turn into stone, but if she wants to, she can also bring you back to life. However, you will become a stone slave, without your own consciousness, a walking corpse that only listens to her orders. " After Gege Wu finished speaking, he couldn't help but shiver: "This is the most frightening thing. Even if you die, you won't be able to rest in peace."
Du Wei sighed: "This should be one of Queen Medusa's frightening magical abilities, right? If she wants, she can casually look at some people or magical beasts and form an army of stone. "
"I never doubted this. If she wants, she can turn all the magical beasts in the Frozen Forest into stone slaves. "Gege Wu sighed.
Du Wei suddenly asked: "Such a powerful Queen Medusa, why has she been living in seclusion in such a canyon? The Frozen Forest is so big, but her territory has always been such a small canyon? "
Du Wei began to ponder, but then, after walking up a ramp and turning a corner, they finally saw Queen Medusa's palace!
This palace was as high as the hills on both sides, and the main building was not made of stone, but of wood! Du Wei immediately recalled the words of the Treant leader, Old Greenwood, outside. This palace was built from the bodies of several real Treants. Thinking of the honest and docile Old Greenwood's tone when he mentioned this matter, he was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Du Wei couldn't help but sigh.
Gege Wu stopped and hesitated: "Do you really want to go in?" The mouse Prime Minister couldn't help but look around, as if ready to find an opportunity to escape at any time.
"Yes." Hussain glanced at him coldly: "You too."
Gege Wu groaned and begged: "If you want to go in and find Queen Medusa, just go in. This palace is not big anyway. Why do you have to take me? If Medusa is angry, I will be punished! I once angered her, and she turned me into a stone for a whole month! "
"Do you think she will have a chance to punish you in the future?" Du Wei frowned: "Are you sure that after we go in, we will be killed by her?"
Although Gege Wu didn't say it, the expression on his face clearly said so. However, he quickly saw the anger on Knight's face and hurriedly said: "I haven't seen a human for many years. I don't want you to die in vain. Why don't you leave now? Anyway, she never leaves the palace, and I have always been in charge of things outside. I won't say anything, and just pretend you never came. Isn't that good? If you are here for that fountain of youth, I can tell you that that damn thing is useless. Look at me, I drank a lot of that damn spring water, but what benefits did I get? "
"We are not here for the fountain." Du Wei said lightly: "We want Medusa's eyes … Wasn't she a Golden Eye Python before?"
"God …" Gege Wu groaned again, but this time he looked at Du Wei's eyes, almost as if he was looking at three lunatics and dead people.
No matter how unwilling the mouse prime minister was, Hussain picked him up and forcibly brought him along. Du Wei and Dadaneier both put on "sunglasses". The originally arrogant Hussain, although his face was cold, was also a smart person. He was not without fear of Medusa's strength, so he also put on a pair of "sunglasses".
Pushing open the tall palace door in front of them, a cold wind immediately blew out from the door, and the cold air was threatening. The three people walked into the hall. In this cold wind, a row of gems on the walls of the hall suddenly emitted light, illuminating the hall.
In the spacious hall, the most eye-catching thing was a giant statue in front of them. The main body of the statue was a beautiful woman with long, curly hair. Although it was only a stone statue, the woman's appearance was very clear. Her eyebrows were charming, and her chin was sharp. She was very seductive, but her expression was too cold. In addition to being charming, there was also a hint of Yin Qi. Her body was almost naked, but there were several large snakes coiled around her body, covering a few key parts. Those large snakes were even more lifelike, raising their heads and spitting out their tongues, revealing sharp poisonous fangs.
A beauty plus poisonous snakes, this statue clearly carried a bit of mysterious temptation and danger. Du Wei glanced at it, then turned back to the mouse prime minister and smiled: "This must be your masterpiece, right? Medusa can't carve herself, can she? I didn't expect you to have such a good carving skill. "
Gege Wu smiled bitterly: "I've been facing stones in this canyon for twenty years. Even if I didn't know anything, twenty years is enough for me to learn a lot of things."
Bypassing the stone statue of the hall, there was a door behind it. After pushing open the door, they saw a straight passage leading inside. Du Wei stood at the door and glanced at it, then immediately frowned: "Well, this is a magic formation. Gege Wu, did you teach her this? "
Looking in from the door, the passage was almost bottomless, as if it was endless … But how could a palace be so big? Obviously, the master had cast a spell, making this passage a very useful defensive facility. If someone who didn't know magic walked in, they would keep going forward, endless, and never reach the end.
"This is actually using magic to deceive your eyes and senses. If you walk in like this, you'll think you've walked very far, but in fact, you'll just be walking in the same place. It's just a little trick, it's easy to break it. All you need to do is close your eyes … … "At this point, Du-Wei suddenly paused. Revealing a thoughtful expression, he whispered meaningfully:" Eh … … This Queen Medusa's most terrifying weapon is her eyes. But if she set up this magic array to force all outsiders to close their eyes, wouldn't she be giving up her most powerful weapon? "
Or perhaps, she just didn't want to accidentally hurt her own people?
Du Wei immediately gave an explanation in his heart.
Then, the three people and one mouse closed their eyes and walked into the passage. Du Wei's perception was strong, and Hussain's strength was close to Paladin's level. His perception was sharp, and it didn't make much difference whether he opened or closed his eyes. Dadaneier naturally wouldn't have a problem following the two, and Gege Wu was used to this place.
Sure enough, after entering the passage, the magic array lost its function. It did not take long for Hossein to touch the second door's handle. However, after pushing it open, the three of them opened their eyes, only to be stupefied …
Behind the second door … it was actually completely black! There wasn't a trace of light!!
"There's no light behind." Gege Wu whispered: "Unless you brought your own torches."
"Has it always been like this?" Du Wei asked the mouse Prime Minister.
After getting a positive answer from Gargamel, Du-Wei suddenly smiled. His smile was full of meaning.
"This Queen Medusa is strange … If the magic formation that makes people close their eyes is a coincidence, then this place is completely dark. It's as if she's afraid that someone will mistakenly break in and be petrified by her! Isn't she worried that there will be hostile people outside who will break in? For example, it's as if we can't see her eyes. She took the initiative to give up her greatest weapon, why is that? "
