Chapter 1194, The Gate of Keys
The Sorcerer’s Kingdom wasn’t the hardest hit area of the calamity, and was only affected by the sudden cold weather, but not the radiation and explosions.
At that time, Ren Wo had been completely able to hang Russell up and beat him, so even if the calamity descended, as long as this knight stayed in the area where the Sorcerer’s Kingdom was located, then he would surely be able to make it through.
But Ren Wo’s choice was different, just like what he himself said, he had his responsibilities.
So when the eve of the calamity descended, that is, the eve of the outbreak of the global war, he chose to return to his hometown, and then brought the group of people beside him to trip out another way of life.
He succeeded, but it was a success that was bought with his life.
“What exactly did he leave behind in the Russell household?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“A sealed box with no code,” Xia answered, “hidden in the Rose Abbey in Ghent City.”
“Rose Abbey?” Ren Xiaosu wondered.
“Well, that used to be the property of the Russell family, and then after the persecution of the ancestor, the place was expropriated by the city of Ghent to build a monastery,” Xiaoxia responded.
The so-called abbey was actually a chapel-like place, which was basically filled with statues of wizards from the Norman family or the Tudor family.
Because the city of Ghent was too big, so big that it was several times bigger than the city of Vaduz.
Therefore, the residents of this place can’t gather in front of the same cathedral for the worship service, at the beginning of every month, everyone will put on the red robe and go to the convent near their house, where naturally there will be a small wizard to preside over the ceremony.
The place of harm had been repaired into a convent, and it had to be said that this was a very ironic thing.
Ren Xiaosu asked, “When can I go get it?”
“When things are over in the underground, I’ll accompany you on your journey,” Xiaoxia said, “However, before that can I ask you for something?”
Ren Xiaosu asked, “What is it?”
At this time, Xiaoxia glanced at Mei, then said to Ren Xiaosu, “Could you take him away from Ghent City? As a reward, I am willing to send a Golden Eye of True Sight, as well as the manuscript of my ancestor who wrote the General Outline of Sorcery, which contains a large number of documented sorceries, as well as meditation diagrams, all of which are high level sorceries.”
At this time, Xiao Mei stood by the side has been bored for half a day, Ren Xiaosu chatting with his sweetheart, he is like the air ……
However, these two people in front of him were really talking about serious matters, and it was a serious matter that he couldn’t interject.
Xiao Mei wanted to join in the conversation, but she really didn’t know what to say.
Saying that he didn’t want to leave Xiaoxia? It seemed like he was being too melodramatic for a big old man.
Saying that with Ren Xiaosu covering him, he would be fine, so he didn’t need to leave Ghent City? It seems to be too social ……
When Comrade Xiao Mei heard that Xiao Xia wanted to whisk him away again, he hurriedly twisted around and gave Ren Xiaosu a wink, hoping that Ren Xiaosu would help him.
Ren Xiaosu understood and said, “Are you in a hurry to go to the restroom?”
“I’m not going to the restroom,” Meigo said without a trace of anger, “I’m not leaving Ghent City!”
“Wouldn’t you just say it and be done with it,” Ren Xiaosu glanced at him, “You don’t even dare to say a word in rebuttal when others tell you to leave, how are you going to do big things in the future? Don’t worry, I won’t take you back to the south, come all the way here, always have to make a bit of noise before you can do it.”
Xia frowned: “The Golden Eye of True Vision is the highest price I can give.”
“What matters is not what you can give, but what I want to do,” Ren Xiaosu said, “Do you really think that group of dudes are genuinely trying to make a mess with you? Just look at their class-divided looks, after leading them to overthrow the old nobles, they can only get some new nobles.”
“Naturally, I don’t intend to completely rely on them,” Xiao Xia said calmly, “Now I’m just making the Tudor family pay for their blood, as for the matter of overthrowing the old nobles’ rule, there’s still a long way to go.”
Now Ren Xiaosu understood, this Xiaoxia is not a person in a hurry, the other party is planning to come little by little.
Xia continued, “Although I don’t know why you brought Meigo to Ghent City, do you realize that by doing so, you will put him in danger?”
“Before this, Meigo told me that his sweetheart was very opinionated, but no one ever told me that you were Russell’s descendant and so opinionated,” Ren Xiaosu said thoughtfully, “But I’m curious, since you’re so worried about him, why didn’t you send someone to protect him when he was first sent to the border? him for a bit?”
“Of course I did have the people from the Holy Church protect him, that is, the people from the Holy Church only withdrew back later when they found out that he wasn’t in too much danger,” Xiaoxia said, “Not only that, but later on, in order to keep him from starving to death, there were also specialized gladiators who secretly and regularly sent him food, clothing, and medicine. ”
Meigo exclaimed, “Wasn’t that something I paid for?”
Xia gave Mei a look, “The money you gave is simply not enough, no one would run to that kind of dangerous place over and over again for that small amount of gold coins.”
“I see,” Ren Xiaosu nodded.
Finally solved the case, before Ren Xiaosu also pondered about this matter, Xiao Mei such a five-body wizard was sent to 178 Fortress side to scout, and this bastard’s ability in wilderness survival even failed to reach the passing line, how did he live through these two years?
Hopefully, it was also a backhanded arrangement by Xia.
I have to say that this girl does do things in an organized manner, a person who does great things.
And Xiao Mei, this soft rice, is also eaten really thoroughly.
Thinking about it, Ren Xiaosu intends to foster this Xia as the head of the northwest branch of Daxing ah, the other party regardless of the various aspects seem to be more suitable than Xiaomei to ……
Ren Xiaosu was a bit puzzled: “Why are you so good to him?”
Xiaoxia said, “He’s too simple, he’ll get hurt if he’s not protected.”
Ren Xiaosu was immediately shocked, this is not love, this is simply mother love!
But no matter what this is, it’s always a matter between two people.
Ren Xiaosu looked to Xiao Mei: “Listen to understand it, what she said before do not want you to get involved, purely because she is afraid of their own even you, you also fight a bit of gas, do not always let people worry about it, know how to do it?”
Xiao Mei nodded her head vigorously, “Got it!”
“Then what are you going to do?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“Honestly follow you around, with you protecting her, she won’t have to worry,” Xiao Mei said.
Ren Xiaosu: “???”
Ren Xiaosu was all pissed off and laughed, but when she thought about it Xiaomei’s decision was on the side of being the wisest!
If Xiao Mei were to practice sorcery now, he wouldn’t be able to become a great sorcerer in less than eight to ten years, so if his own efforts were useless, then he should simply pick up his self-awareness and not cause trouble for everyone.
With Ren Xiaosu’s protection, there are not many people who can do anything to him in this huge Ghent City.
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu now also do not know this comrade Xiao Mei is really stupid, or fake stupid …….
Ren Xiaosu said to Xiao Xia, “Don’t worry, Xiao Mei won’t have any problems with my protection. I’m not going to ask you what plan you have, you also don’t need to ask me what plan I have, when it comes to fetching the things left behind by Ren Wo I’ll start to take action, at that time all you guys need to do is to wait for the opportunity.”
“What opportunity?” Xiao Xia was puzzled.
“The opportunity I created for you,” Ren Xiaosu said calmly, “I said this to Chen Jingshu once as well, my coming over from Middle Earth is the best opportunity for you to overthrow the old aristocratic rule of the sorcerers.”
Xiaoxia was surprised to hear this and looked at Xiao Mei, who sighed, “Just get used to it, and I can’t refute it.”
Xiaoxia sized up Ren Xiaosu in front of her, although she didn’t know exactly where Ren Xiaosu got his backbone, but for some reason she chose to believe it from the bottom of her heart as well.
Suddenly she remembered what her grandfather had said to her before he died, “If one day someone from Middle Earth comes looking for clues to the knights, then you can ask the other party to help you out with any difficulties you may have.”
“That is a magical land, and that knight is the most magical person in that land.”
At that time Xiao Xia was still Xiao Xia, she still didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence, she often wondered, could that knight really make the whole Russell family trust so much?
The little summer girl suddenly said, “My grandfather told me that the knight promised when he took away the Eye of True Sight that he could do one thing for the Russell family as compensation when the Russell family needed it. If he is no longer around at that time, it will be done by his descendants. You are his descendant, so can I trust you?”
Ren Xiaosu thought about it, since Ren He took the Eye of True Vision to save him, then the promise that arose because of this Eye of True Vision, he was naturally willing to fulfill it for the other party, “Yes, what is the thing you want me to do? Destroy the Tudor family?”
“No,” Xia shook his head, “Protect Xiao Mei, can you?”
“Yes, but this matter doesn’t count, this is a promise I promised Xiao Mei, I will naturally fulfill it.” Ren Xiaosu laughed, “Alright, you keep this opportunity for now, wait until you need it. You two can talk more, I’ll go in and have a good chat with those witch friends.”
With that, Ren Xiaosu stepped into the Key Gate with one foot.
Xiao Mei suddenly felt that what Ren Xiaosu said about having a good chat with her sorcerer friends wasn’t that simple ……
At this time, there was no longer anyone else in the tunnel, Xiao Mei slowly walked towards Xiaoxia, and the Eastern Divine Dragon painted on the wall was peaceful and quiet, as if it couldn’t bear to disturb them either.
On the other side, Ren Xiaosu looked at the scene behind the Gate of Keys and was a bit stunned, because this was no longer underground, but on top of a tall gray brick spire.
Beyond the spire was a cliff, and below the cliff was the raging sea.
Blue sea water lapping at the reef set off white waves, and in the distance is the shimmering surface of the sea.
The endless ocean, in an instant, made Ren Xiaosu’s heart give birth to an infinite magnificence, and after that, an infinite calm.
This is the sea that Li Shentan wanted to take a look at, I don’t know if he has seen it now.
Ren Xiaosu turned his head, the others had already followed the stairs of the spire into the interior of the spire, leaving only Xu Anqing waiting here.
The other smiled and said, “First time seeing the ocean?”
“It shouldn’t be the first time,” Ren Xiaosu laughed, “There’s always an inexplicable sense of familiarity when I see the sea, but I should have forgotten all the ones I’ve seen in times past.”
“This is the key door that An An’s father opened,” Xu Anqing said, “Every time he came back here, he would come alone to sit at the top of the Sorcerer’s Tower, sometimes for a day and a night. I asked him why he wanted to look at the sea, and originally I thought he would say that looking at the sea could broaden one’s mind, but he replied to me that those who have looked at the sea can have awe in their hearts.”
Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, but he quickly felt that this sentence was very interesting, people were indeed too small in front of the magnificent heavens and earth and the ocean.
At this time, Xu Anqing asked, “I wonder what you feel when you look at the ocean?”
“Tranquility,” Ren Xiaosu replied, “By the way, you said that this Key Gate was opened by An An’s father, specifically emphasizing on this, could it be that the Key Gate opened by each person is still different?”
“The Gate of Keys was a sorcery exclusive to the Russell family before the Calamity, and then Russell made this sorcery public as an example in order to show his determination to break down the family barriers,” Xu Anqing explained, “However, this Gate of Keys does have a characteristic, a person can only open it once in their lifetime, and after opening it it will then be fixed in one position forever.”
“What if the person who opens this Key Gate dies?” Ren Xiaosu curiously said.
“The Key Door will not disappear,” Xu Anqing said, “There is only one way to destroy the Key Door: to completely change the terrain of the place where the Key Door is located, such as destroying the wall we just entered.”
Ren Xiaosu frowned, “Then this is too dangerous, isn’t it, in case someone outside destroys the wall, won’t we all be trapped here?”
Xu Anqing suddenly realized that this teenager across from him was actually cautious by nature.
While others were first attracted by the magic of this sorcery after traversing the Gate of Keys, the other party’s first concern was how to get back!
“Don’t worry,” Xu Anqing explained with a smile, “If someone destroys it from the outside, then all of us who pass through the Key Gate will ‘fall out’, so there is no such thing as not being able to return home. ”
“Where is this?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“We’re not sure where this is, and after it opens it becomes our secret base,” Xu Anqing shook his head and said, “We only know that the place where the Gate of Keys opens must be in the same time and space as the one we’re in.”
“Is there any pattern to this Key Gate opening?” Ren Xiaosu was curious.
“Presumably, it’s the place one wants to go most in one’s heart?” Xu Anqing said, “There was once a friend who was often worried about frequent urination, so after he opened the Key Door, the back of the door turned out to be his family’s toilet ……”
“What’s all this,” Ren Xiaosu cried and laughed, “It’s really true that the door opens wherever one wants to go the most?”
“The probability is like this, but there is also a strong randomness,” Xu Anqing said meaningfully.
“What does this randomness mean?” Ren Xiaosu was curious.
“Everyone may not be clear about where they want to go the most deep down.”
Ren Xiaosu was silent for a long time after hearing these words, and had to say that these words actually contained a hint of philosophy ……
He turned his thoughts and asked again, “Are there any flaws in the Gate of Keys?”
“Of course there is,” Xu Anqing said, “The Gate of Keys is fixed, and if you want to reach the ‘other side’ through it, then you have to go to a fixed place, which is sometimes quite troublesome. Just like if Chen Anan’s father wanted to come to the seashore, then he would have to go back to the underground of Ghent City.”
At this moment Ren Xiaosu suddenly pulled out a large iron door from the stowage space and asked, “Then if I open directly on this door and carry it with me, won’t I be able to carry the Keygate with me?”
Xu Anqing stood in the sea breeze at the tip of this wizard tower somewhat messed up, “Should …… that be possible?”
He looked at Ren Xiaosu’s serious face and suddenly felt a bit powerless, according to reason, the key door should be able to carry around by this means, but the problem is, how do you carry around an iron door ah?
You this is from where gripped down?
