Chapter 3274 The Trial of the Great Fool (Seventy Seven)
Meanwhile, France, deep in the Alps.
"Hmm..." Vivian raised the telescope and looked into the distance to confirm the entrance to the alien space hidden in the mountains.
"Found it." She said lightly. In fact, the entrance is very difficult to find. It is hidden in the cracks of the rocks on the cliff. Only by observing carefully can you find it based on the subtle light it emits. And you have to know where to go.
Just look for it. Most people would never deliberately search for glowing cracks hidden in rocks in a barren mountain.
"Although I found it, how do I get in?" behind Vivian, a young woman asked. She was the assistant Vivian brought this time, Lianyin.
"Pour magic into the crack to open it." Vivian replied, "Let's go."
The two of them teleported and arrived in front of the entrance to a different space.
Vivian stretched out her hand to touch the crack, trying to inject magic power into it. The entrance and exit of the different space was set so that it could only be opened by the magic power of the succubus family. In fact, it meant that there was no way to enter that different space except for the succubus. Foreign enemies wanted to
To invade, they can only rely on subspace-breaking spells to forcibly open the entrance. And if they do so, they will alert the succubi hiding inside, giving the residents in this different space time to deal with foreign enemies.
——It is simply a perfect defense system.
"I'm sorry to ask you to take time out of your busy schedule to help." Vivian said to Lianyin while slowly injecting magic power.
"It doesn't matter. I have already asked for leave from Master Merlin, and Husky has been placed in Prince Kai's mansion. There is nothing to worry about." The Patimo girl replied: "And I also want to help save Paramy.
Mr. Dees, although I don’t know how I can help, it’s better than letting you take the risk alone.”
"Thank you." The succubus smiled bitterly and said, "If I were the only one here, to be honest, I would really feel unsure. My people are not that easy to deal with, and some succubi are even hostile."
"I understand." Lianyin nodded and said, "I am always ready to fight and will not let up."
In fact, Vivian brought only Lianyin with her, not only to assist her in fighting, but also for a deeper reason.
Because most of the succubi entrenched in the succubi's hometown are women. If Vivian brings boys like Seifer and Seglade here, they will most likely be seduced by the succubi. So... lustful.
The succubi may also steal (literally!) Vivian's male followers and force them to reproduce with them.
If it becomes like that, things will get out of hand.
Therefore, Vivian can only bring people she knows who are female and whose combat power is high enough to be her companions. Currently, the only person who meets this condition is Lianyin.
The race of succubi is actually quite strange. Female succubi (ubus) can almost combine with men of any other intelligent race to have children, and the offspring they give birth to are most likely to be female succubi, and there is only a very low probability that they will win over male succubi (
Incubus). And this probability is... one in 300 billion.
This naturally results in the fact that most of the succubi hiding in the succubus home are female, and male succubi are very rare. Because there are so many women and so few men in the succubus home, these demon women
Of course we also...
Vivian's face turned slightly red and she did not continue thinking. At this time, the entrance to another space also opened.
"Be safe," she ordered, jumping into it.
Lianyin followed quickly and jumped into a different space. As if she had penetrated some kind of half-inch-thick oil layer, she experienced a sense of damping, and the scenery in front of her suddenly became clear.
Is this... really the Alps?
What appeared in front of her was indeed a mountain range. It was paradoxical, but the atmosphere was different. The originally bright and clear sky became indescribably gloomy, but it was not because of the lighting conditions, because it was actually quite bright here.
Then there is the spectacular old castle that stretches across the entire mountain range. A huge building group with countless spiked towers. The number of towers is so many that Lianyin can't even count them. Bricks, tiles, walls, corners, all
The workmanship is incredibly exquisite, but there are almost no exaggerated carvings. It relies entirely on the building's angular pillars and complex hexagonal towers to show the sophistication of the building group itself.
Moreover, all the ancient castles are gray and black, and the uniformity is really handsome.
This is the hometown of the succubus clan. Just by looking at it, you feel as if you have arrived at the demon clan's lair.
"It's amazing..." Patimo girl not only sighed: "How on earth did you do it!"
"The space within a thousand feet radius here is constructed, and the outside world is just a shadow." Vivian replied: "It is said that the space was constructed by the technology of the dark elves in the past, and was later used by the succubi.
Occupied. This place has been the home of the succubus clan since ancient times. I think the ancient documents left here must provide some clues; even if the ancient documents do not mention it, you can find some clues by asking your great-grandmother.
Indeed, the lifespan of succubi is surprisingly long. Lianyin even heard that Vivian's great-great-great-grandfather is still alive and is still doing some research for Great Britain. Vivian's great-grandmother is still alive, which is normal.
Nothing more.
"Let's go in." Vivian walked towards the building: "But be careful of those succubi with malicious intentions."
Lianyin shrugged and followed. But she couldn't imagine how the succubi would fight in that kind of castle. The walls of the castle must be powerfully enchanted and not easily broken. But most demons are
Even if a master of magic tries his best, the building will not be able to withstand it and will inevitably be destroyed. The succubi are not so stupid as to destroy their own precious castle, right?
Of course, another characteristic of succubi is the use of poison. If they want to attack outsiders with bad intentions, but do not want to use strong spells that will destroy buildings, then using the poison of succubi is the best choice.
Although Lianyin is Patimo, a kind of artificial being specialized in magic and warfare created by the ancient gods and humans, she is not invulnerable to all poisons. If the poisonous photon of the succubus invades her body, she will also
Poisoned to death.
In this case, you still can't be careless.
As soon as Lianyin stepped into the castle, she immediately activated a powerful protective shield. The magic shield adhered to her body like a layer of skin, completely protecting the surface of her body. It was strong and would not affect her body.
Her actions will actually have an impact. This powerful "membrane" will affect her agility, and her movements will be relatively slower. But for a mage, the side effects of this slowdown are almost negligible.
.
Even Vivian is holding a weapon in both hands, although the lightsaber in her hand has not unfolded its light blade. Is this a homecoming? She doesn't look like she has returned to her hometown at all, as if she is guarding against something.
…
The internal structure of the building is the same as it looks from the outside. It is incredibly huge. Immediately after entering from the main entrance, there is an entrance hall, and then a hall as big as a square. Lianyin looked up and couldn't even see it.
The ceiling was replaced by an endless depth.
Perhaps because the hall connected to the entrance is too big, the ordinary lighting system can no longer meet the needs, so the succubi use some kind of luminous magic balls for lighting. They are suspended in the sky of the huge hall in an orderly manner like stars.
It emits soft and warm white light of different sizes. It is an ethereal and elegant lighting method, as if it really brings the entire starry sky into the house.
In addition to the endless ceiling covered with "stars", Lianyin also observed the floor. There were almost no patterns on the dark gray smooth and shiny stone floor, only some low-key geometric shapes between the floor tiles that were difficult to detect.
The engraving is probably used to prevent slipping. It seems simple, but when such floor tiles stretch out in pieces, they are like a gray-black sea, which is particularly spectacular. And because their surfaces are very smooth, the floor tiles reflect the "sky" like a mirror.
"The stars above let the light spread out.
The sky full of stars and the dark sea of mirrors under the night sky contrast with each other, creating a majestic beauty.
Very different from human buildings, succubi are particularly particular in places like this. While humans decorate their buildings with exaggerated carvings and luxurious golden clothes, succubi focus on the overall beauty, combining simplicity and complexity.
Very well balanced.
This may have been originally a building of the elves, but was later occupied by the succubi. But the decoration layout presented in front of Lianyin was definitely not the style of the elves, but the succubi's own ideas.
Architectural style can reflect the will of a race and their way of thinking.
What can be discerned from this strange style?
"Don't be in a daze, let's go quickly." Vivian's voice brought the meditative Lian Yin back to reality: "It will be bad if you stay here all the time. You have to go quickly..."
"Ah, look who's back. He actually brought an outsider in." Another voice interrupted Vivian's words. Two young women appeared in the distance about thirty meters away. They were quite beautiful.
She is gorgeous, has long black hair like Vivian, and is wearing a luxurious black evening dress, as if she is going to attend some dinner party at any time.
"Elena, Alona." Vivian responded calmly, "Long time no see."
Although they seemed to be Vivian's acquaintances, the two succubus showed their weapons when they came up, as if they wanted to fight Vivian. Naturally, Vivian was not slacking off either, and she almost didn't.
The lightsaber blade in his hand was revealed.
"Why did you come back, Vivian?" One of the succubi asked: "The Cornwell family was shamed by what your mother did. You should have been expelled from the succubi's hometown. Now you are so shameless that you are coming back."
Do you want to take back the status that belongs to you?"
"I don't care about that kind of thing." Vivian replied: "I'm here to check information. I want to enter the [Forbidden Library]."
"Oh?" Another succubus sneered: "You need the matriarch's permission to enter the library. And even if you have permission, what if you have permission? The road to the library has been polluted by the black bicorn. If you want to enter, you must defeat the undead monster first.
.Can you do it?"
"Since I will come back, I am sure to win. That's why I brought my assistant." Vivian said lightly: "I will ask the matriarch for instructions, so you don't have to worry."
One of the succubus couldn't stand Vivian's attitude and raised a spear shining with black light: "What a loud tone, it seems you are——"
"Wait a minute, Elona." Another succubus stopped her compatriots: "If she can really destroy the black bicorn, it will be beneficial to us. Even if she can't do it and dies under the iron hooves of the bicorn.
It won't do us any harm. Just let her die."
She actually said it so straightforwardly, without any attempt to hide it. I remembered that Lianyin had heard Vivian say before that succubi are an "extremely rational race". If it is profitable, even the most hated enemy
They will all use it. The two succubi in front of them have no reason to hinder Vivian, and there is no benefit in doing so, only harm.
They will let it go.
"Huh." Vivian forced out a sneer: "Let's go. I really haven't seen my great-grandmother in many years."
So the matriarch the succubi talk about turns out to be Vivian's great-grandmother?
Lianyin wondered as she followed Vivian and walked deeper into the building. However, the two succubi raised their weapons to stay on guard the whole time, but they did not attack.
