The sun is high - #123 - Chapter 122 Heart is better than matter?

At this time, Xiuge didn’t know that the “machine gun” he had been thinking about before had officially let out its roar in this world.

He would not even know that his cheap grandfather had personally shot his cheap father, and even ordered Master Krauts to use his body as a disposable alchemical bomb.

At this moment, he was following the group of rats under the command of the Running Rat, heading deeper along the spiral staircase that had been imbued with a permanent extension ritual.

On the surface, Xiuge and Weilin were discussing the setting up of regular magic rituals, but the spiritual world was in a mess.

To be precise, Snitch’s mouse hole has become a mess.

Shuge found that he had underestimated the temptation of the proposition of “embracing the new era” for this group of top seniors with an average age of over 150 years old.

Who has already had enough life, who persists until now only for the Ernst family, and who still wants to maintain human form and dignity…

Fake, it’s all fucking fake!

Shuge felt that he should have thought a long time ago that every one of the Ernst family members who could become the core figures among the core nobles and were sent here were the best among the best, and those who could persist until now , and is the most determined leader among them.

It seems that it is really… unrealistic to ask such a group of people to give up hope of survival when they are “close to victory”.

Before allowing these “elders” who had managed and led the entire Ernst family to settle in his spiritual world, Shuge carefully conducted a serious and comprehensive examination of his own concepts, emotions and attitudes.

As a very typical case of “visitor from a foreign land”, he has no specific attitude towards the Ernst family. All his cognitive basis comes from the memory of the original owner of this body.

However, these memory fragments are destined to be one-sided. Because of Yerevan, Shuge Ernst had almost no experience of being in contact with other members of the Ernst family, whether it was internal struggles within the family, or changes and struggles for power. No matter what, none of this has any direct connection with the concept of “illegitimate child”. What’s more, most of this body’s past experiences were woven under the deliberate arrangements of caring people.

On this basis, it is almost impossible for Sugar Ernst to have a concrete and objective understanding of the large family group to which he nominally belongs.

It is precisely because of this that Shuge does not have much resistance or resistance to “accepting” a group of souls and wills that once belonged to the Ernst family.

In fact, with the premise of receiving the memories brought by the descendants of Dark Abyss, Shuge has indeed become more interested in “predecessor experience”. He is looking forward to learning from Alexandra and Bain Hart got some really useful information and guidance from people like him who were once in powerful positions.

However, there was no way to explain his thoughts and calculations to Snicki. As the nominal owner of the “mouse hole” in the metal disk, Snicki was now very dissatisfied.

Its current wisdom alone is not enough to understand why this group of rats that should be its “servants” seem more like their masters than themselves. They even started carving up the territory directly after “moving in” without any thought at all. Take yourself seriously!

After Snitch sent “help” signals to Shuge countless times, Shuge finally threw his consciousness into his spiritual world and coughed twice at the mouse hole.

So a large group of blind rats immediately came out and densely filled the entire metal groove. The scene was both weird and spectacular.

“Everyone, we haven’t reached our final goal yet…are you celebrating a little too early?”

“Hey, I have confidence in you!”

This careless tone belonged to General Bernhardt. He smiled and said: “For us, no situation will be worse than before, but all future developments will make it easier for us to survive.” It has to be better than it is now!”

“Don’t listen to his nonsense…”

Alexandra obviously couldn’t understand Bernhardt’s tone. Although she had returned to the appearance of a pack of rats, her voice was still soft: “Everyone is very aware of the current situation, but when they see… After seeing the shelter you provided, everyone was a little surprised, so they might be more excited.”

“Don’t worry, kid. We know that we are still a long way from success. We will do our best to help you overcome all difficulties. Even if it is at the expense of ourselves, it is appropriate.”

“okay, I get it.”

Xiuge didn’t say anything more. He withdrew his consciousness from the spiritual world and looked up to the front.

The rats that stayed outside were gathering in the darkness ahead – this was already the bottom of the spiral staircase. Next to her, Weilin held up the magic light ball for lighting and looked worriedly at the dark stairwell above her head. , what happened before gave her some psychological shadow, and she is now worried that it will start “raining” again above her head.

“This should be the ground floor… If the judgment is correct, the outside should be the ‘underground garden’ we saw in Room 203 before.”

“Well, based on the information provided by Ms. Alexandra, the direction of the rat swarm, and the conventional setting method of large-scale secret rituals, this should be the location where the Black Sun Society sets up the secret ritual.”

Wei Lin stretched out her hand and pressed the wall tiles beside her. She sensed the flow of magic power and then judged: “At least most of the magic circuits that I can touch and perceive so far can lead to this place. Find the exit. “

Shuge nodded, and then like Weilin, he called out a magic light ball for lighting and began to search at the bottom of the spiral stairwell.

At the same time, the rats that originally belonged to this underground mansion were also constantly searching the walls.

But the strange thing is that they clearly set out from here under the control of the secret ritual, but now they all seem to have lost their way, and there is no way to find an available exit and passage here.

The search of Xiuge and Weilin also quickly reached a deadlock, because they soon discovered that the bottom of this wide stairwell was extremely clean. At a glance, except for the ancient and flat wall tiles, There is nothing else.

And these huge stone bricks are so tightly combined that even water can hardly flow into the gaps in the middle.

“It’s not just the rats that come to the fifth underground floor, but also those who have mutated due to the secret ritual and have entities… Therefore, the passage where they gather here must not be the magic circuit buried in the wall.”

Weilin carefully avoided the mice who were eager to find a “return home”. She pressed her palms against the wall while trying to inject her own magic power into it. She judged: “It seems that the previous failure may be your summons.” The changes caused by the objects triggered some additional protective measures that were set up in advance, and I can feel the traces of magic. They are still very new and should have disappeared not long ago.”

Xiuge nodded, and the magic mist of the messenger in the mirror immediately covered his eyes.

In view of the further exchange of opinions between the two of them, Xiuge did not deliberately turn his back to hide this part of his ability this time, but generously let Weilin see the vision in his eyes.

He still knows that limited candor is the basis for close collaboration.

Just like Weilin’s attitude towards the lost evil magic, she didn’t show too much surprise at this moment, her face was more inquiring. She didn’t seem to need to construct magic patterns and magic patterns. I am really curious about the wonderful power that magic models can directly exert.

Xiuge now has no time to cooperate with Wei Lin’s “academic career”. With the help of the power of the messenger in the mirror, his eyes scanned every corner of this closed space more quickly. Soon, he used this to Nicky’s power ordered the rats gathered on the side of the stairwell to disperse, and a very special door appeared in front of him.

He was in a daze.

Because it was a huge iron door hidden by extremely chaotic magic power, and the style and size of this iron door were very similar to the two doors he saw in the dream shelter.

However, what is depicted on this door is not the ship of Theseus, nor is it blocked by the black words that belong exclusively to dream shelters.

What Xiuge saw on the door was a somewhat unfamiliar yet familiar pattern.

It was a skull, a rat skull.

On both sides of the skull, there are curved horns extending out.

The structure of this horn is similar to that of the plateau blue sheep. They first spin and then point upward.

The horns of the plateau blue sheep have always been a symbol of peace and stability, but when they are combined with such a skull, they reveal an extremely wild, primitive and weird feeling.

Combining the information he already knew, Xiuge immediately made a judgment on this pattern.

This is obviously the symbol of the Earth Mother Goddess. In the dreams provided by the rats before, the bone helmets worn by the rat priests, and the Earth Mother Goddess revealed through the sacrificial ceremony before the battle broke out. The momentary postures are all related to this image.

Of course Shuge knew that the image of the Earth Mother Goddess was not actually a mouse.

Her, or His, form is more like a collection of mammals among countless Brahmas. Rats are only part of its appearance. Perhaps it is for this reason that She is called the Mother Goddess of the Earth, rather than ” God of Rats”.

“I’ve found it…how do I open it?”

Xiuge came to the wall that concealed the door. He raised his hand and tentatively stretched it forward.

He had inspected and touched this wall before, but this time, when his fingers came into contact with the wall in front of him, what he felt was no longer a rough stone wall, but cold and smooth metal.

“It may be a magical disguise based on cognition. There are scholars in Merlin Lehe’s academy who specialize in studying these…but I don’t know the specific principle.”

“Cognition?”

Shuge frowned: “You mean, the magic set here will directly affect our understanding of the environment? Will the original door be directly identified as a wall?”

“It can be understood that way, but you are only talking about part of it.”

Wei Lin walked to Xiuge’s side. She also raised her hand. She raised her hand next to the wall Xiuge touched and tapped it twice with her nails. Then Xiuge discovered that her movement made a sound. It turned out that the sound was not the sound of tapping metal, but a slight sound of tapping stone.

“Well, look…even if you have told me that there is a door here, in my eyes, what I see in front of me is always an extremely hard wall that has gone through countless magic solidification rituals, so no matter what I knock on, There is no way to produce the correct result whether you release magic directly at it or not.”

After hearing Wei Lin’s description, a word popped out of Xiuge’s memory, so he asked: “Is the heart better than things?”

Wei Lin was slightly startled, but then she nodded: “Interesting summary, but still inaccurate… Because in fact, the door does exist here, and this kind of magic on the cognitive level can only be applied to a certain extent. It interferes with our judgment within the scope. If we are powerful enough to completely destroy this wall, then the cognitive barriers will naturally disappear.”

Shuge nodded: “Good idea.”

“What’s good?”

Wei Lin couldn’t help but laugh: “The spellcasters responsible for setting up these rituals in the past must have been elites above the lake and river valley level, and it does not even rule out the participation of deep sea level mages. Otherwise, there is no way it would still be possible after hundreds of years.” It plays such a stable role! It is unrealistic to use violent methods to crack it.”

“Just try and you will find out.”

After saying that, Xiuge took a few steps back and “dragged” Wei Lin back. Then he waved his hand to disperse the rats that were “watching” nearby. He felt a tingling sensation on his right wrist again. The power from the “Dark Abyss Palace” once again gathered in his palm and formed the pistol that shone with a strange luster.

In the metal disc, the ancient hound that had just had a “feast” slowly stood up in its own groove. It already knew what Shuge was going to do, so it didn’t show much enthusiasm.

After all, this time, its mission is not to hunt, but to dig.

The roar sounded again, and with the bullet hitting, the wall hiding the door of the Earth Mother immediately began to disintegrate contrary to common sense under the power of the dark abyss and the hound.

The circuits in the wall were quickly twisted and destroyed. The solid stone wall collapsed into fine powder out of thin air, as if it had been gnawed by some invisible monster. The cognitive magic that was originally attached to it and connected to the magic circuit was on the spot. It failed, and a huge door was revealed.

The special power of the hound continued to push forward. Although it was unable to destroy the door made of special material, the wall used to install the door was completely destroyed by its erosion. After losing the support of the wall, The door engraved with the pattern of the Earth Mother immediately fell backwards and slammed into the darkness.

“Look, isn’t this enough?”

…

There will be more later~

I didn’t get home until one or two in the morning, and then I found that the Internet at home was gone.

After checking with a maintenance technician, I learned that the main line in the weak current well had been unplugged at some point…

Confused.
