Law of the Devil

Lanlan heard this, but her face was covered with frost, she glared at the outsider, without saying a word, she closed the door heavily.

Du Wei hid in the closet, but he heard these words clearly, and couldn't help feeling sorry for Lan Lan.

It seems that as the princess's personal servant, she is very favored, and no one disrespects her when she goes up and down in the palace. But this seems to be beautiful, but it also carries a touch of sadness - it has always been the practice that as the princess's personal female officer, she will not marry before the princess reaches adulthood. Unless the princess is married as an adult, the personal female officer is considered successful. There are two options: one is to marry and leave the palace, and the other is to marry with the princess and still act as the princess's personal person in the future. It's just that the Roland Continent is not like the feudal society in ancient China where there is a saying of dowry maids. Generally speaking, this kind of female official who is married with the princess will be married by the future son-in-law to the trusted bodyguard or housekeeper at home. It's just Roland Continental Marriage is very early, and many people from good families often get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. However, for a female official like Lanlan, after the princess becomes an adult, she will not be too young, and I am afraid that she will be close to her. Thirty years old, in the eyes of Roland Continent, she is considered an old girl. At that time, people will be old and pale, but they will have to sit back and watch their youth go by in vain. Even if they are married, they will be old and decrepit, and it will be difficult to please their husbands, and their fate may not be happy.

With a creak, the closet door opened, and Du Wei came out. However, he saw that Lanlan's complexion was a little sad, and it seemed that he was also a little sad by those words. Du Wei coughed, but didn't know what to say.

At this time, everyone was kind enough to hide himself...but he wanted to knock him out with another palm, but it really couldn't be justified.

"My lord duke, I made you... laugh." Lanlan smiled suddenly, that smile was a bit cold: "I'm afraid you are making fun of me in your heart."

Du Wei quickly shook his head: "This...cough cough! Of course not. Hmm..."

"Okay, what is the reason you came here tonight?" Lanlan looked at Du Wei again, and said softly: "Obviously you didn't come here to find me. Then, you are the Duke of the Empire. You should know what a serious crime it is to break into the imperial city at night."

"I'm here..." Du Wei sighed: "I'm here, of course there is a special reason, but this matter, Lanlan, you better not know. I can't talk about this matter. Naturally, I have my reasons But don't worry, I didn't come into the palace to harm anyone. I can't explain the reason to you."

Only then did Lanlan breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Du Wei's eyes, she became a little softer: "Well, I believe in you. I knew that Lord Tulip Duke is not a villain. You will not rebel, let alone want to Come in and hurt people."

Du Wei hesitated for a moment: "Lanlan, I don't want to be rude to you. It's just that, please don't tell other people what happened tonight..."

"I understand." Lanlan took a deep look at Du Wei and said quietly, "I will never say that."

After finishing speaking, she raised her hand again and swore an oath to the gods.

"Also..." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "I'm going to be a little rude to you. To avoid trouble, I have to knock you out. It's best if you don't know about this matter, it's not that I don't believe it You. Mmm..."

He fumbled from his arms and took out a small bottle: "This is a medicine I prepared myself. You unscrew the cap and smell it, and 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, the lonely man and widow were in her boudoir again. But the other party openly said that he would faint himself... After all, she is a young girl. The other party was another young man, in case he fainted. If the other party does something...

Thinking of this, she only felt that her cheeks were hot, but then she saw Du Wei's eyes, which were calm, without the slightest hint of embarrassment, and she relaxed her mind: "Okay...Actually, as a woman like me, if you If you want to knock me out, you don’t have to tell me these things.”

Saying that, Lanlan finished the bottle calmly, after unscrewing it, she took a deep sniff, only to feel a faint scent like the fragrance of gardenia, she couldn't help laughing: "It smells so fragrant..."

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 the bed, and covered her with a blanket with his own hands, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Glancing at Lan Lan on the bed, Du Wei smiled wryly in his heart: "Unlucky, this little girl probably thinks of me as a flower picker who came to touch her window in the middle of the night."

Just thinking of this, I heard Semel's dissatisfied voice: "Du Wei, have you had enough fun! Hmph, I can't see that you are actually a sympathetic person."

Du Wei smiled wryly: "Master great-great-great-grandmother, this girl is more or less my friend. If you want me to do something bad to my friend, I can't do it."

"Are you afraid that she will leak the secret afterwards? Don't you want to kill people to silence it?" 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 servant, and she was like a sister. If she died, Karina would be sad. Alas, let's compare our hearts. If someone murdered Old Made, I would Must be crazy!"

After a moment of silence in his mind, Semel seemed to sigh: "Very good. You really are not that kind of cold-blooded person."

"Hmph, I wasn't originally."

"It's hard to say." Semel said lightly: "I used to be sure, but what you have done in recent years made me have to think more."

After a pause, she urged: "Hurry up, you have wasted so much time, find the entrance to the secret passage!"

Du Wei came to the fourth stone slab on the floor in the lower left corner of the room, and knocked hard six times. He ran to the third stone slab on the right and knocked five times.

Finally he backed away a few steps. Waited quietly for a while. On the floor of this piece of ground, there were a few faint cracking sounds of the stone slabs turning over, and then, faintly, there seemed to be a thin ray of light shining out.

"Well, it turns out that the secret path is blessed with magic." Du Wei nodded: "In this case, even if the house has undergone many reconstructions and expansions in the past few years, the secret path will not be discovered."

On the ground, the stone slabs that were originally tightly connected suddenly opened gently like the blocks on the Rubik's Cube. Without a sound, a dark passage appeared, and all the stones below were shrunk in. Layer by 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! Aragorn made such a big deal back then!

Du Wei jumped over and jumped into the dark entrance, just as he entered. The shrunken stone slabs on the ground immediately turned back silently, and in a short while, they returned to their original appearance, tightly connected, where is there any gap? Du Wei, who jumped into the secret passage, was surrounded by darkness, and the secret passage didn't seem to be narrow. He reached out and touched the wall. The tentacles were icy cold, but the stone was as cold as ice, which was a bit strange.

Fortunately, it didn't seem wet down here. Du Wei took two steps, and the ground under his feet was hard.

After walking two steps, suddenly, it seemed as if a gust of wind passed over his head, and then he heard a whoosh in front, and a ray of light lit up.

All I saw was an extremely long and secluded secret passage in front of me. On the wall in front of him is a hanging lamp shaped like a torch. The lamp is not a flame, but a faint magic crystal.

Then, it seemed to be some kind of automatic induction. On the wall of this secret passage. There are such lights every ten meters, and Du Wei walks forward step by step. The crystal lamps on the wall also automatically lit up one by one, illuminating the direction of progress!

The width and height of this secret passage are about three or four meters. Walking in it alone, it is very empty. The stone slabs on the wall are free of dust and corruption, and they look like new!

"This is a magical land." Semel sighed: "The underground secret passage is centered on the white tower in the middle. The white tower is a magical tower. On weekdays, although the defensive magic circle is not open , but it seems that there is another magic in this underground, which maintains this secret passage. The flow of air, and the magic lamps are all maintained by the endless magic circle. It looks like a new place .”

Du Wei wiped the wall with his hand, and there was no trace of dust.

But he was puzzled in his heart: "Such a big project, when the country was first established, where did Aragorn come from to build this place? When the empire was first established, the national power was not so strong. To build such a I don’t think it will take 10,000 to 20,000 workers to build a labyrinth-like group of underground secret passages in three to five years!”

"This, you can only ask yourself." Semel smiled lightly: "After all, Aragorn is your previous life."

Du Wei snorted: "Don't tell me this, I am me!"

With that said, he continued to walk forward.

After walking about 500 meters through this underground secret passage, the terrain seemed to go all the way down again, getting deeper and deeper. Then, the secret path in front suddenly became curved, and it was no longer a straight road, and the surroundings were silent, but the lamps on the wall lit up one by one, and the roads behind him were lit up one after another. The automatic extinguishing of one lamp... It is indeed an exquisite design!

Du Wei sighed: "Aragorn's magical attainments are really powerful. I'm afraid there is no such magical craft now."

Semel didn't push back 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 in his tracks. He took a deep breath, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but look forward. Zhu murmured: "What the hell are these..."

In front of my eyes, the secret path suddenly became more than three times wider, but on the walls on both sides, the lamps were no longer in the shape of lamps, but turned into stone sculptures hanging on the walls one by one!

But those carved shapes are really scary!

I saw carvings one by one, and some of them looked like a person's head protruding from the wall, but the skull was lifted off, and there was a magic crystal in the head, emitting light.

And some carvings seem to be a hand protruding from the wall, the fingers are carved lifelike, the big hand seems to be desperately trying to grab something, the fingers are struggling, and even every trace of the texture is extremely delicate, holding a Glowing gemstones.

There are even more statues with all kinds of strange things. For example, some sculptures seem to be a normal human being, with half of his body inside the wall and half of his body outside, but half of flesh and blood and half of skeleton! What's more, it's like a woman's face, half of which is a beautiful face, and the other half is full of scars, hideous and scary! And the light is designed in the eyeball 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. Looking at them one by one, they were filled with a sense of cruelty, which made people feel hairy.

Du Wei wondered: Is that Aragorn guy mentally ill? What are you doing with this statue? !

Du Wei sighed and tried not to look at the scary carved lamps on the left and right walls. If you see too many of these things, you will have nightmares when you sleep at night.

I just walked forward for a while, but suddenly I saw that the ground in front of me was densely packed, full of sharp swords!

I saw that on this piece of exposed surface, there seemed to be densely packed swords inserted on the floor. The sharp blades and swords, although carved in stone, were also very sharp! What's even more frightening is that in this area, all the roads in front of it have been blocked, forming a terrain like a jungle of swords and swords!

What's even more frightening is that this section of terrain is about 100 meters long by visual inspection. Above the sword bushes, there are still figures that seem to be dying. Although those figures also look like stone carvings, they The sword pierced through the body, and the movement of struggling and shouting was lifelike, just like a real person! What made Du Wei even more puzzled was... According to the pierced sculptures, it wasn't even just human beings! And... orcs? Elf? dwarf? Even some odd looking other stuff.

When Du Wei saw this, he suddenly stopped! !

His face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "No! No!!"

Du Wei took a deep breath, looked back at the place behind him, those hideous and terrifying statue lamps, and then looked at the forest of swords in front of him.

"This place... was definitely not built by Aragon!!".
