After hearing this, Lanlan's face was covered with a layer of frost. She glared at the people outside and closed the door tightly without saying a word.
Du Wei was hiding in the closet, but he heard these words clearly, and couldn't help but feel a little pity for Lanlan.
It seems that as the princess's personal official, she is very favored, and no one is disrespectful to her in the palace. But this seems to be beautiful, but it also has a touch of sadness. It has always been the custom, as a princess
A female personal officer will not marry until the princess comes of age. A female personal officer is considered successful only after the princess comes of age and gets married. She has two options: one is to marry and leave the palace, and the other is to follow the princess.
When you get married, you will still serve as the princess's personal person in the future. It's just that in Roland Continent, unlike the feudal society in ancient China, there is a saying of dowry maids. Generally speaking, such female officials who marry with the princess will be married to the confidants of the family by the future consort.
Chief guards or housekeepers, etc., but people in Roland mainland get married very early. Many people with good family backgrounds often get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. However, female officials like Lan Lan have to wait until the princess comes of age to get married.
She is not young, probably close to thirty years old. From the perspective of Roland Continent, she is already considered an old girl. By then, people will be old and yellow, but they will have to sit back and watch their youth go by in vain. Even if they get married, their appearance will fade with age.
It is also difficult to please your husband, and your destiny may not be happy.
With a creak, the closet door opened, and Du Wei came out. He saw a slight sadness on Lan Lan's face, as if he was a little sad by those words. Du Wei coughed, but didn't know what to say.
At this time, people were hiding themselves with good intentions...but he wanted to knock them out with another palm. But it really couldn't be justified.
"My Lord Duke, I made you... laugh." Lan Lan suddenly smiled, and the smile looked a little cold: "I'm afraid you are making fun of me in your heart now."
Du Wei quickly shook his head: "Well...ahem! Of course not. Well..."
"Okay, why are you here tonight?" Lan Lan looked at Du Wei again and said softly: "Obviously you are not here to find me. So, as the Duke of the Empire,
You should know what kind of serious crime it is to break into the imperial city at night."
"I'm coming..." Du Wei sighed: "I'm coming, of course there is a special reason, but it's better that you don't know about this matter, Lanlan. I can't talk about this matter, naturally I have my reasons.
But don’t worry, I didn’t come to the palace with the intention of harming anyone. I can’t explain the reason to you.”
Lanlan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Du Wei with a softer look in his eyes: "Well, I believe you. I know that Duke Tulip is not a villain. You will not rebel, let alone want to
Come in and harm people."
Du Wei hesitated for a moment: "Lanlan, I don't want to be rude to you, but please don't tell anyone else about what happened tonight..."
"I understand." Lan Lan glanced deeply at Du Wei and said faintly, "I will never say that."
After saying that, she raised her hand again and swore an oath to the gods herself.
"And..." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "I'm going to be a little rude to you. In order to avoid trouble, I have to knock you out. You don't know the best about this matter, but it's not that I don't believe you.
.Um……"
He touched from his arms and took out a small bottle: "This is the potion I prepared myself. You unscrew the lid and smell it. You will fall asleep after a while and you won't wake up until tomorrow morning."
."
Lanlan's face turned red again... In the middle of the night, alone and alone, in her boudoir, the other party openly said that she was going to faint... After all, she was a young girl, and the other party was a young girl.
Young man, if he faints, if the other party does something...
Thinking of this, she only felt her cheeks burning. But then she saw Du Wei's eyes, which were calm and without the slightest hint of embarrassment, so she relaxed and said, "Okay... Actually, for a woman like me, you
If you want to knock me out, you don’t have to tell me this."
With that said, Lanlan calmly took the bottle. After unscrewing it, she took a deep sniff and felt a faint smell like gardenia. She couldn't help but smile and said: "It smells so good..."
But the next moment, his eyes closed, his body softened, and he fell asleep.
Du Wei quickly went up to support her, then carried her to bed, and covered her with a blanket. Then he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Glancing at Lan Lan on the bed, Du Wei smiled bitterly in his heart: "Unlucky, this little girl probably thought I was a flower picker who came to touch her window in the middle of the night."
Just as I was thinking of this, I heard Semel's dissatisfied voice: "Duwei, have you had enough fun? Huh, I can't tell that you are actually a caring person."
Du Wei smiled bitterly: "Great-great-great-grandmother, this girl is more or less my friend. If you want me to do something cruel to my friend, I can't do it."
"Aren't you afraid that she will leak the secret later? Don't you want to kill someone and silence her?" Semel's voice seemed a little cold.
Du Wei frowned: "Of course not. Not only did she know me, but she was also the little princess's personal maid, and she loved her sisters. If she died, Karina would be sad. Alas, comparing my feelings, if someone murders old Mad, I will
You’re going to go crazy!”
After a moment of silence in his mind, Semel seemed to sigh: "Very good. You are indeed not that kind of cold-blooded person."
"Humph, I wasn't originally."
"It's hard to say." Saimel said lightly: "I was sure in the past, but what you have done in recent years has made me think more."
After a pause, she urged: "Quick, we have wasted so much time, find the entrance to the secret passage!"
Du Wei came to the fourth stone slab on the ground in the lower left corner of the room and knocked six times. Then he ran to the third stone slab on the right and knocked five times.
Finally, he took a few steps back and waited quietly for a while. He saw a few gentle clicks of stone slabs turning over on the floor, and then, faintly, there seemed to be a thin
A thin light shone out.
"Well, it turns out that the secret passage is blessed with magic." Du Wei nodded: "In this case, even if this house has undergone many reconstructions and expansions in the past few years, the secret passage will not be discovered."
On the ground, the stone slabs that were originally tightly connected suddenly opened up like the blocks on a Rubik's Cube. Silently, a dark passage appeared, and all the stones below were retracted.
Layer upon layer, there are dozens of layers!
From this point of view, the entrance to the secret passage is probably more than fifteen meters deep underground in this house! What a big deal Aragorn did back then!
Du Wei then jumped over and jumped into the dark entrance. As soon as he entered, the retracted stone slabs on the ground immediately turned back silently. In a moment, they restored their original appearance and connected.
It’s so tight, but where is the slightest gap?
Du Wei jumped into the secret passage, only to be surrounded by darkness. The secret passage did not seem to be narrow. He stretched out his hand and touched the wall, and his tentacles were cold. The stone was actually as cold as ice, which was a bit cold.
eccentric.
Fortunately, it didn't seem to be wet down here. Du Wei took two steps and found the ground under his feet was hard.
After taking two steps, suddenly, it seemed as if there was a gust of wind passing above my head, and then I heard a shout in front of me. A piece of light lit up.
In front of him was an extremely long secret passage. On the wall in front of him was a lamp hanging like a torch. The lamp was not a flame, but a faint magic crystal.
Then, as if by some kind of automatic induction, there were lamps like this every ten meters on the wall of this secret passage. As Du Wei walked forward step by step, the crystal lamps on the wall also appeared one by one.
The lamp lights up automatically, illuminating the direction of progress!
The width and height of this secret passage are about three to four meters. When a person walks in it, it feels very empty. There is no dust or corruption on the stone slabs on the walls, and it looks like new!
"This is caused by magic." Saimel sighed: "This underground secret passage is centered on the white tower in the middle. The white tower is a magic tower. On weekdays, although the defensive magic circle is not opened,
, but it seems that there is another magic in the underground that maintains this secret passage. The flow of the air and the magic lamps are all maintained by the endless magic circle. It looks like a new earth.
."
Du Wei reached out and wiped it on the wall, and sure enough, there was no trace of dust.
But he began to wonder: "For such a big project, when the country was first established, where did Aragon get such a large force to build this place? When the empire was first established, the national power was not so strong. To build such a building
I don’t think it would be possible to build a maze-like group of underground secret passages without 10,000 to 20,000 workers spending three to five years!”
"You only have to ask yourself about this." Semmel smiled lightly and said, "After all, Aragorn is your previous life."
Du Wei snorted: "Don't tell me this, I am who I am!"
With that said, he continued to walk forward.
After walking about five hundred meters through this underground secret passage, the terrain seemed to be going all the way down again, getting deeper and deeper. Then, the secret passage in front suddenly became curved, no longer a straight road, and the surrounding
There was silence, except that the lamps on the wall lit up one by one, and on the road behind me, those lights automatically went out one by one... It was indeed an exquisite design!
Du Wei sighed: "Aragorn's magical attainments are really great. I'm afraid there is no such magic craft anymore."
Semel did not retort this time.
After walking for a while, the curve in front of him suddenly opened up. But after seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Du Wei suddenly stopped. He took a deep breath, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but look ahead.
Zhu murmured: "What the hell are these..."
In front of me, the secret passage suddenly became more than three times wider, but the lamps on the walls on both sides were no longer in the shape of lamps, but turned into stone sculptures hanging on the walls!
But those carved shapes are actually a bit scary!
I saw carvings one by one. Some of them looked like a person's head sticking out of the wall, but the skull was removed. There was a magic crystal in the head, which was emitting light.
And some carvings are like a hand stretching out from the wall. The fingers are carved lifelike. The big hand seems to be desperately trying to grasp something. The fingers are struggling. Even every trace of the lines is extremely delicate. In the palm of the hand, he is holding a
Glowing gems.
There are even more strange statues. For example, some sculptures look like a normal human being, with half of the body inside the wall and half of the body outside, but half flesh and half skeleton! There are also sculptures that look like a woman's face, half of which is a human body.
Half of her delicate face is covered with scars, which is terrifying! And the lights are designed right in the eyeballs of the woman’s face!
Along the way, the shapes of the lamps on the road became more and more strange, but each one was more cruel and terrifying than the last. Looking at them one by one, they were full of a cruel smell, which made people feel terrified.
Du Wei wondered: Is that guy Aragorn mentally ill? Why did he create such a statue?!
Du Wei sighed and tried not to look at the scary carved lamps on the left and right walls. If he saw too many of these things, he would have nightmares when he slept at night.
I just walked forward for a while, but suddenly I saw that the ground in front of me was densely covered with the tips of sharp swords!
In this area, there seemed to be a dense mass of swords stuck out on the floor. Although the sharp blades were made of stone, they were also very sharp! What was even more frightening was that in this area, the road in front of them had been blocked.
Death, forming a terrain like a jungle of swords!
What's even more frightening is that this section of terrain is about a hundred meters long by visual inspection. Above the cluster of swords, there are still figures that look like they are dying. Although those figures also look like stone sculptures, the swords penetrate their bodies.
The struggling and shouting movements are lifelike, just like real people! What makes Du Wei even more confused is...the sculptures that have been penetrated appear to be not only human beings! There are also...orcs? Elves? Dwarfs? Even some
Other weird looking things.
When Du Wei saw this, he suddenly stopped!
His expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "No! No!!"
Du Wei took a deep breath, looked back at the place he passed behind him, at the terrifying statues and lamps, and then at the jungle of swords in front of him.
"This place... was definitely not built by Aragorn!!"
