Chapter 85 Chapter 82 The Strange Palace

According to the Rat Prime Minister, when Queen Medusa was asleep, this so-called "Evil Eye Kingdom", the Prime Minister was the number one leader... With such a hostage, or a coerced companion.The three of Du Wei, plus a mouse-shaped man, marched towards Queen Medusa's palace together. Along the way, all the mice turned around and ran away when they saw these people, which deeply confirmed the famous saying "a mouse flees while holding its head".In the previous chaos, the prime minister was captured, but unfortunately these mice did not have the courage to take back the leader... It seems that from ancient times to the present, cowardly people have been described as "mouse gall", and it is indeed worthy of the name.

Of course, there are not only mice in this animal kingdom, but also some crows. Those are spies Gargamel made with a little bit of magic. ", and then these noisy voices annoyed Hussein, and he shot up with a sword of fighting spirit, shot and killed seven or eight of them, and then dispersed. Gargamel saw it, and couldn't help sighing in pain: "Oh, my lord knight, don't you know how much effort I have spent and how many experiments I have done to train these crows to watch and teach them to speak... ..." Du Wei couldn't help being curious: "How did you teach these crows to speak?"

Gargamel smiled: "I am proficient in Transfiguration, so I naturally have the deepest understanding of creatures. I have spent the first half of my life studying animals. Let alone a crow, even a horse..." "I remember I told you that if I hear you lie again, I will cut off your mouse's head." Hussein coldly interrupted the self-praise of the mouse prime minister, and the knight said lightly: "Do you think Can't I see through? Those crows can't speak at all, but you have transformed their voices with magic. Crows are not intelligent, but they at least have animal instincts, can distinguish between recognized and unknown, and when encountering aliens Those crows will bark indiscriminately. You have magically transformed their voices. These crows are not speaking human language at all, but their crows have been transformed into pronunciations like 'outsiders' by you. Du Wei, if you If you don’t believe me, you can ask this mouse to order those crows to say something else, if those crows can’t speak, I’ll cut off the mouse’s head immediately!”

As soon as these words came out, Gargamel really shut his mouth obediently.Du Wei chuckled inwardly, but he was also quite interested in Gargamel's whimsical ideas.It turned out that it just magically transformed the crow's vocal cords and tongue.Just like the world in Du Wei's previous life, those who raised parrots, in order to make the parrots talk, would use utensils to flatten the parrots' tongues when they were young.Although the methods are different, the general principle is the same. Du Wei thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Gargamel, I actually understand what you mean. You were originally a human, but now you have become an animal. What worries you most is being regarded as an animal that can speak human words. Zuo is a monster, so although you live in this uninhabited place, you can't help but want to make the animals around you speak human, so that you don't appear to be alone, right?"

After hearing this, Gargamel didn't say anything, but he couldn't help showing a touch of emotion in Du Wei's eyes. Inside the canyon, there are two walls that have been built.This city wall is tall and majestic, and it looks extraordinary!Although it is simply piled up with some big stones, it looks a little rough, but it is tall enough and big enough! "We have a lot of strong slaves. There are many treants in the canyon, all of whom were petrified by Queen Medusa. After Medusa's petrification technique, not only will they become stones, but if she wants, she can also turn them into stones." If you make a living, you will become a stone slave, without your own consciousness, a walking corpse who simply obeys her orders." After Gargamel finished speaking, he couldn't help shivering: "This is the most terrifying thing, even if you die, you will be dead. There is no rest."

Du Wei sighed: "This should be one of Queen Medusa's terrifying magic abilities, right? If she wants to, just look at some people or monsters, and she can form a stone army." "I've never doubted this. If she wants, she can turn all the monsters in the frozen forest into stone slaves." Gargamel sighed. Du Wei suddenly asked again: "Why does such a powerful Queen Medusa have been living in seclusion in such a canyon? The frozen forest is so big, but her territory has always been only such a small canyon?" Du Wei began to think about it, but then they walked up a ramp and turned a corner. They finally saw Queen Medusa's palace!

This palace is as high as the hillsides on both sides, and the main building is not stone, but wood!Du Wei immediately recalled the words of Old Wood, the leader of the tree people outside, that the palace was built from the bodies of several real tree people.Thinking of the tone in which the loyal and docile old Wood gritted his teeth angrily when he mentioned this matter, Du Wei couldn't help but sigh. Gargamel stopped in his tracks and hesitated for a moment: "Are you really going in?" The Rat Prime Minister couldn't help rolling his eyes, looking around, as if he was ready to look for a chance to escape at any time.

"Yes." Hussein glanced at it coldly: "You too." Gargamel groaned and begged, "You guys have to go in to find Queen Medusa. Go in anyway. The palace is not big anyway. Why do you have to take me with you? If Medusa gets angry, I will be punished." I pissed her off once, and she turned me into stone for a whole month!" "Do you think she will have a chance to punish you in the future?" Du Wei frowned: "Did you believe that we will be killed by her after we go in?" Although Gargamel didn't say anything, the expression on his face was clearly like this.But it quickly saw the anger on the knight's face, and quickly said: "I haven't seen a human being for many years. I don't want you to die in vain. Why don't you leave now, anyway, she never comes out of the palace. I’ve always been the one to decide what to do. If I don’t say anything, I’ll just pretend you’ve never been here. Wouldn’t it be great? If you’re here for that fountain of youth, I can tell you that that damn thing is useless at all. Yes. Look at me, I drank a lot of that ghost spring water, but what benefit did I get?"

"We're not for the spring water." Du Wei said lightly, "We want to get Medusa's eyes... Wasn't she a golden-eyed python?" "God..." Gargamel groaned again, but this time he looked at Du Wei and the other three, as if he was looking at three crazy and dead people. No matter how much the Rat Prime Minister refused, Hussein brought it up anyway, and took it with him by force.Du Wei and Dardanelle both wore "sunglasses". Although Hussein, who was originally proud, had a cold face, he was also a smart person after all. He would not be afraid of Medusa's strength, so he also put on a Vice "sunglasses".

Pushing open the tall palace gate in front of him, a gust of cold wind blew out of the gate immediately, and the cold air was overwhelming.The three of them walked into the main hall. In this dark wind, a row of precious stones on the walls around the main hall suddenly emitted light, illuminating the main hall. In the spacious hall, the most eye-catching thing is a giant statue in front of it.The main body of the statue is a beautiful woman with curly long hair. Although it is only a stone carving, this woman's appearance is very clear, with charming eyebrows and a pointed chin, which is quite attractive, but her expression is too indifferent , In addition to being charming, there is a third more sinister air.Her body was almost naked, but there were several big snakes coiled around her body, covering several key parts.Those big snakes are even more lifelike, with their heads raised and their sharp fangs exposed.

A beautiful woman and a poisonous snake, this statue obviously carries a bit of mysterious temptation and danger.Du Wei took a look, then turned his head and smiled at Prime Minister Mouse, "This must be your masterpiece, right? Can't Medusa know how to carve herself? I can't tell you have a good carving skill." Gargamel smiled wryly: "I have been facing rocks in this canyon for twenty years. Even if I don't know anything at first, twenty years is enough for me to learn a lot." After bypassing the stone carvings in the main hall, there is a door behind, and after opening the door, you can see a straight passage to jump in, Du Wei stood at the door and took a look, immediately frowned and said: "Well, this is a magic circle. Gargamel, is this what you taught her too?" Looking in from this doorway, the passage is almost bottomless, and it seems to be endless... But how can a palace be so big?Obviously, it was enchanted by the owner, making this passage a very useful defensive facility. If someone who does not know magic walks in, he will go straight forward, endlessly, and never reach the end. "This is actually using magic to deceive your eyes and senses. If you just walk in like this, you think you have walked a long way, but in fact, you are just standing still. A small blindfold must be broken It's very simple, just close your eyes..." When Du Wei said this, he suddenly paused, showing a thoughtful expression, and said in a meaningful low voice: "Yi... the most terrifying weapon of this Queen Medusa is Her eyes are watching, but the magic circle she set up makes all the outsiders who enter must close their eyes, isn't it because she has given up one of the most powerful weapons?" Or maybe, I just don't want to hurt my own people by mistake? Du Wei immediately gave an explanation in his mind. Then, the three of them and one mouse closed their eyes and walked into the passage.Du Wei has a strong sensory ability, while Hussein is close to the level of paladin's strength, with keen senses, and there is not much difference between opening and closing eyes.Naturally, Dardanelle would have no problem following the two of them, and Gargamel was used to this place. After entering the passage, the magic circle really lost its effect. After a while, the current Hussein touched the handle of the second door, but after pushing it away, the three of them opened their eyes and were stunned... After the second door... It was actually, all black!There is no light at all! ! "There are no lights in the back." Gargamel said in a low voice, "Unless you bring your own torches." "It's always been like this?" Du Wei asked Prime Minister Mouse. After getting Gargamel's affirmative answer, Du Wei suddenly smiled, a meaningful smile. "This Queen of Medusa is strange... If the magic circle makes people close their eyes, it is just a coincidence. But the place is completely dark, as if she is afraid that others will come in by mistake and be petrified by her! Isn't she worried? Are hostile guys breaking in from outside? For example, we seem to be forcing us not to see her eyes. She gave up her biggest weapon on her own initiative, why on earth?"
