Chapter 866: What Kind of Cultivation Is Double?
Compared to the first floor of a bank vault, the second floor of a museum, and the third floor of a more labyrinthine ruin, the fourth floor of this thousand-year-old treasure house is indeed very simple. Anyway, when Lu Xi and Karin went down to this floor, the first thing that caught his eye was only more than 100 square meters of usable area. Theoretically, although the place is quite spacious, at least two more people will not look particularly crowded, and the lighting is not satisfactory, at least not so that people can't see things, but compared to the three tall floors above, this contrast is too obvious.
Often, this setting is just too suspicious. Lu Xi has always felt that in a "small" room like this, there must be a lot of particularly uncreative settings such as secret passages. However, the holographic map of the True Eye of the God of War told him that this room was really just a simple room, at least there was no secret door connecting to another huge labyrinth.
Of course, what the second eye in the God of War can show is only a passage secret door in the physical sense, and if this room involves any spatial laws in its composition, it can only be estimated by its own true ability.
Compared to the first three floors, which are well organized, this floor is a bit disorganized. On the wall to the right are three rows of bookshelves, with a few book scrolls stacked in a mess. On the left side are several tables that can be used as pig killing tables, and there are many cardboard boxes stacked on the table and under the table. In the corners of the room were all sorts of objects—old armor, dusty wood carvings, broken and bent weapons, large corroded scrolls, and so on. Seeing that Lu Xi's scalp was almost numb. Feel. It's like a normal utility room......
"That's what I thought when my grandparents were here before." Karin smiled, "But this is the place to visit the most important items of the Holy Springs Royal. The upper three layers of traps and golems are protected. All kinds of useless clutter are cover, and what is really valuable is only one out of a hundred. If someone is really strong enough to break through the upper three floors to get here. Seeing such a large pile of miscellaneous things, but there is no way to find something really valuable, it is estimated that he himself will be depressed to death. ”
"It's a new way of thinking. With so much clutter, it would take hours for anyone to find something valuable, and when it was too late, the daylilies would be cold. In a sense, this may be a safer place to guard a treasure with a clear target. Lu Xi nodded, and then said, "But first, you have to cover up the aura of the treasure and the spiritual sense of the powerful one. Otherwise, this little cleverness is meaningless. ”
"That's exactly what we did. This room was designed with a very elaborate occult structure. It suddenly became a magic circle, which could not only hide the aura and aura of the artifact, but also cause huge interference to everyone's perception. Of course, if an alien invader gets their hands on the treasure here, the entire room will turn into a prismatic matrix, shooting indiscriminately at all the living creatures inside. You don't see so much clutter here, but there are actually some things that are fixed, and they are one of the nodes that maintain the whole room. Of course, this was all arranged by Her Majesty Elena and the Great Sage Laxis back then. Facing foreign invaders. They really never missed. ”
The implication is that in the face of insiders with ulterior motives, they can't do anything? Lu Xi thought.
"That Belat Mea's Golema must have been here all along. Well, I was brought here a few times by my grandparents as a child. I didn't really notice it. Karin glanced at the treasure trove, "It's weird, the two of them have suffered such a big loss, why didn't they destroy that thing?" ”
"They should have a very valid reason. Just like the Demon God token in the hands of Emperor Knoeus the Great, there must be a very reasonable reason. Maybe the old man has already mentioned this to you. It's just that you were too young to notice. Well. Maybe the golem is really the key to open a space, and there are tens of thousands of Heroic Spirit troops inside, but they just need to complete some trials and the like to gain command. Your grandfather didn't make it through and ended up in a life-and-death situation, but he thought maybe you could, so he stayed. Well, that's the orthodox RPG setting! ”
“…… Eh, although it sounds like Lu Xi himself is talking nonsense without any basis, but if you think about it, it's really quite possible. ”。
"There's no point in possibly it anymore, it's already ruined anyway." Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders: "I'm more curious now, the existence of this golem should be the biggest secret of your Dimahia family, right?" Why that Miss Dragonborn named Belutetina knew about its existence is much clearer than your uncle's. ”
"Yes! I'm also curious...... But in the end, the guy escaped. And there is also the sister who likes to smirk, obviously a disciple of her grandmother, the first-class prince and lord of the dignified empire, the head of the Draxley family with such a glorious history and many heroes, but she betrayed her motherland, people and ethnic group, and was in the company of cultists. It's really interesting, what kind of benefits did they come up with that could actually make this eldest sister excited? ”
If Archduchess Di Lisa is a rat villain who forgets her righteousness, then it is normal. But if such a person is like this, how can he be favored by the "Estelle of the Holy Light", let alone become one of the strongest people in the Oakland Empire at a young age.
However, the more powerful a person is, the more likely he is to have a paranoid side. Maybe there's some way for those guys to just run into the big sister's G-spot. Lu Xi shrugged: "Everything was easy to guess, but who let you let that guy escape?" Obviously, it was a row of guns, and I even left the cannon for you. ”
"Yes, it would be nice if you left me 20 doors, but unfortunately only 3 doors said." Karin said, "My guards are smart, but after all, it's the first time you're operating that thing, and it's inevitable that you'll be in a hurry. Because the firepower couldn't break through her 'Sword Domain' for a while, she had to let that guy escape. ”
"20 doors...... Do you want to pick up bones when the time comes? I think, for the sake of world peace. It's better not to let you get contaminated with this kind of thing in the future. ”
"Look at what you said, weapons are meant to be used. As long as it appears. You can't stop. If you don't, your enemies will copy it sooner or later. Even better imitations are made. When the time comes, will the righteous partners still face that destructive weapon with swords and guns and flesh and blood? ”
"Righteous partners? You? ”
"It's not me, it's my Auckland."
…… This is a very sensitive issue, and Lu Xi does not have full decision. Fortunately, Karin also knew that such a big thing could not be decided with a flirtatious joke or two, and did not continue to dwell on the issue.
In order to be on the safe side, Lu Xi still added a dimensional anchor to Karin, and maintained a high level of spiritual attention to the surrounding wind and grass for a long time. His understanding and attainment of spatial magic are far from being comparable to those of the wind, but his spiritual sense is no less than that of anyone else. Even if Belat Mea came down to play tricks in person, she was just as confident that she would be able to make a face for the other party...... Well, it's better not to talk nonsense. That female demon god is the most mystical of the six pillar demon gods. Hiding in Tibet has never been a proper shape, even in the Qiming War that year, he never showed his face. Who knows if the real body of that crazy woman with a bad taste is in that place on the main plane, and then find a time to jump out and slap her face.
The two of them maintained such a high level of alertness as they examined everything in the room, a truly thorough inspection. Because Lu Xi used kryptonite dog eyes to probe all the miscellaneous objects in the room, there were indeed no suspicious demon god creations - of course, all kinds of secret classics, secret historical records, and legendary heavy treasures that have disappeared are indeed a lot. There are even a few boxes that exude the brilliance of dark golden equipment, and Lu Xi's heart is beating faster when he sees it.
However, Lu Xi, who had just received three good pieces of equipment from Karin, couldn't do anything to lead the sheep in his sister's paper family no matter how he had no discipline.
"It seems that that golem should be the root of all your family's dark history."
"I hope so." Karin sighed, "I always feel that this matter is far from over! ”
"What is the true identity of the boss. I don't know what I want to do, but of course there will be a time when it will be over. Lu Xi said: "But as long as you don't commit the second disease yourself, at least we shouldn't have to worry." The fire will burn from the inside of one's own home. Although your uncles, grandfathers, and ancestors all seem to have had the experience of being bewitched, they were all forced by real time. And you shouldn't have such a problem, right? ”
"I hope so." Her Royal Highness the First Princess of the World replied in a somewhat casual tone, completely devoid of the aura of the queen who was lawless and unscrupulous and took for granted that she was the center of the world.
“…… In such delicate moments. In a place where supernatural events have occurred, can you not suddenly change your temperament? Lu Xi looked at Karin and almost burst into tears: "Even if you don't rattle and disappear, even if you are suddenly possessed by some strange dirty thing, it is really enough for me, right?" ”
"Oh, people are girls too, so there will always be times when they are afraid. Xiao Lu Xi didn't take the opportunity to send some warmth to increase his favorability at this time, but he hid aside and sneered, such a nervous little Lu Xi was not cute at all. Even someone like my grandfather can be bewitched, let alone a weak little girl like others? ”
Your grandfather was far less powerful than you when he was your age. Of course, if you are all weak little girls, then the King of Calamity can naturally be regarded as a gentle and kind gentleman.
Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess didn't seem to see Lu Xi's blazing gaze at all, so she walked to the bookshelf on the side. She picked up the bottom scroll from a large pile of books that had accumulated dust and piled up like bricks, and looked at herself on it carefully, then she smiled and raised her hand at Lu Xi: "I need to make myself stronger." Physically, in strength, in technique, and in mind, it must be much stronger than it is now. As long as you make yourself invulnerable first, you won't be violated by the young. I have to break through myself again, and you, little Luxi, you have to help me! ”
“…… Isn't it that your Holy Spring Imperial has any great moves that only the emperor can learn, but it must be a double cultivation, right? ”
"Where in the world is there any great move that an emperor can learn? Otherwise, it will definitely be lost, okay? Karin shrugged her shoulders and smiled: "Of course, this is indeed the secret martial arts of the royal family passed down by Emperor Knous, as long as you are a direct member of the royal family, you are qualified to learn." Of course, the difficulty of this layer of mystery is too high, and the requirements for qualifications, uh, and luck are also very demanding, so the last person to master this set of royal secrets is still grandmother and her old man. ”
As a result, your grandfather who learned the mystery but was not? Well, I always feel that the old man of the Sun King really has a lot of subtle similarities with my generation in some aspects. If we had known each other earlier, maybe we could have become good friends.
"Of course, grandfather can be regarded as a strong man in the world! In the Battle of Gaugame, he managed to hold out for hundreds of rounds under the Overlord. However, his talent in martial arts is actually not too outstanding, well, at least among the dragons and phoenixes of his level, he is not a big deal, and he is much worse than me. In addition, he is not too interested in swordsmanship and martial arts, which are 'one-man enemies'. ”
Karin added to Lu Xi's interested look, "This is actually quite a normal thing. My grandfather was first and foremost a king, a statesman and strategist, and only then a warrior. In the eyes of people like him, swordsmanship, martial arts, magic and magic are just tools. No matter what the essence of power they represent, even if they can make the bodies and souls of the people of black iron like us feel the existence of the truth, and be truly sublimated. As a true king, my grandfather's mentality cannot be said to be wrong, but this has become the biggest constraint that restricts the growth of his power...... Uh, don't look at me like that, okay? Well, I'll admit, that's what my grandmother said to me when she was alive. ”
That's reasonable. Lu Xi nodded, and said, "So, what about you?" You think about it with your grandfather in many ways, and if you just see martial arts as a tool and lose your obsession with transcending yourself, maybe you won't be able to succeed. ”
Of course, in front of me this is not a problem at all. If it's a big deal, I'll take you to brush more copies......
"Of course I'm like my grandfather, but I'm also like my grandmother!" Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess held her head high, and her attitude was still taken for granted as if it were an objective truth: "I am Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess, who combines the advantages of both sides, and I am about to become Her Majesty the World's First Queen." Swords and swordsmanship are indeed tools for me, but it's not like I'm not interested in martial arts at all. Compared to the ancient golden seeds, we, the people of black iron, do not have any advantages in spirit or body. But the justice of the gods lies in the fact that we have many more possibilities than the golden seeds. Since both body and spirit can be refined to the point of detachment from the mundane, how can a person like His Highness be considered complete if he does not go out into that realm to see that kind of scenery? ”
…… Well, although I always feel that something is wrong, if you have to say that you want to surpass your grandfather Sun King, I have nothing to refute. After all, we don't know that old man well.
Of course, this set of mysteries cannot be broken by one person. So I have to get your help. ”
“…… Sure enough, it's a double cultivation! The ancestors of Dimahia, who made such a gentleman's setting, are really a group of wonderful people! ”
"Can't you see for yourself?" Karin threw the scroll directly, as if she didn't see Lu Xi as an "outsider" of the Dimahia family at all.
"Actually, they're really a bunch of wonderful people, and they're definitely far more crazy than you might think." (To be continued.) )
