Chapter 159 Chapter 143: The Eve of the Festival Day

Ruolin told about the fleet she saw at the Enke port pier. After hearing this, Du Wei seemed to be very calm. He just nodded and said lightly, "I see." After a pause, as if nothing had happened, he suddenly changed the topic: "Ruo Lin, let's put the goods in the warehouse of Enke Port there first. The summer festival will soon come, and the imperial capital will be smashed by many people. After all, we haven't got the legal approval document yet, and if something happens, the family's face will not look good. You just send more people to watch in Enke Port." However, Ruolin heard something unusual from Du Wei's words, and couldn't help but ask, "You mean... Could it be that during the summer festival, the imperial capital might not be peaceful?"

Du Wei smiled: "I didn't say that. You don't have to guess. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with us. You just need to take care of those pirates. The imperial capital will be stricter in the investigation recently. It’s better not to cause any trouble. You don’t need to live in the imperial capital, so let’s wrong you and go back to Enke Port to live. If there is anything, I will send someone to find you.” Ruolin didn't want to ask more questions, so she had to bow down and go down. When Ruolin left, a trace of gloom appeared on Du Wei's calm face, worry flashed in his eyes, and he sighed softly: "Hey...the fleet...my father, you are really restless. Ah. Are you going to play tricks on the summer festival day?"

The fleet must not be loaded with ordinary cargo, and there are soldiers on board to escort it... To enter and exit the imperial capital so easily, except for high-level military officials like my father, I am afraid that no one else can mobilize the city guards. So, in this way, is he going to attack Prince Chen? Du Wei suddenly thought of Prince Chen's gentle smile and his friendly attitude towards him, and couldn't help but feel sad. Do you want...to tell Prince Chen?Then Du Wei remembered his mother's begging, he sighed, shook his head, and whispered to himself: "I'm sorry, Prince Chen, the family has a heavy responsibility, you and I are enemies and not friends, I can't help you with this." up."

Du Wei sat in the room and looked at the magic potion formula for a while, and drank a pot of high-quality tea from the south. In the evening, he suddenly heard a thunderous sound from behind! boom! In an instant, even the small building where Du Wei was located shook faintly a few times.Then I saw the door of a room downstairs was kicked open, and then thick smoke billowed out from inside. Gargamel, the mouse, coughed violently, and ran out of it as if fleeing for his life. "Cough, cough, cough... but it almost choked me to death..." It rushed into Du Wei's room in one breath, grabbed the teapot on the table without saying a word, and poured it into its mouth. Hissed, the mouse's face was covered with black and white patches of soot, its eyes were reddened by the smoke, and even a few of its beards were burnt.

Du Wei frowned and said, "What's wrong?" "Don't mention it! I finally figured out what the Bow of Death is. I tried to use a magic crystal to figure out the magic circle inside, and it caused an explosion! Boy, there must be something unusual about this bow. I've already set up two layers of barriers in the room, and they shattered in no time! But fortunately, these two layers of barriers, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep this building." Du Wei stood up with a smile, walked out of the yard first, and dismissed the guards of Luo Lin's family who came after hearing the sound, only saying that he was doing magic experiments.Everyone in Luo Lin's family knew that the young master was now a magician. Du Wei's explanation was not surprising, but when he left, everyone looked at Du Wei with awe.

After driving away many guards, Du Wei asked Made to come and watch at the gate of the yard, and asked Gargamel to set up a magic circle around his residence, and then the two went into the laboratory downstairs together. The thick smoke in the room was almost released, and Du Wei cast a small wind magic again. After the thick smoke was blown away, on the table in the middle of the room, the one that was snatched back by Du Wei The "Bow of Silence" lay quietly on the platform. Du Wei's platform is made of stone, and he doesn't have the capital to spend a lot of money to get a test platform made of metal and mithril like the old lunatic Ali Ke.Du Wei looked at the bow carefully, and immediately felt a little difference!

On the Bow of Nirvana, there was a faint ray of light around it, which enveloped the bow. The violent explosion just now didn't even damage the bow.When the thick smoke dissipated, the bow still looked brand new and bright, without even a trace of smoke.The whole bow looks faintly flowing with a strange brilliance. The streamlined bow looks like a crescent moon in the night sky. The bow angles on both sides are polished with a strange and transparent crystal, and there are two curved The big curved barb, on the barb, was polished into a sharp blade! Obviously, such a special shape enables the owner of the Bow of Nirvana to not only use the bow and arrow to hurt people from a long distance in battle, but also to use the sharp blades on the bow horns on both sides of the bow in close combat. A weapon for melee combat!

And Gargamel probably tested the hardness of the blade, and used a good knight's steel breastplate. This blade can easily cut a hole. With a hard poke, the sharp thorn on the bow horn can cut the blade. The steel armor poked a hole! "The material of this thing is not simple. I can only guess that it is made of some kind of high-quality crystal after special processing, and maybe some synthetic materials. As for what kind of crystal it is, I can't tell Got it." Gargamel pointed at the Bow of Nirvana, the mouse who had been studying this thing for a day and night was obviously very excited: "This shape is different from all existing bows on the mainland, no archer can be good at close range This bow is an exception... However, I guess, if you want to make full use of this bow, you should have a set of special martial skills that go with this bow."

The special martial arts matching this bow... Du Wei thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. The guy who died under my hands seems to be very powerful, but he probably won't know what you said. That set of martial arts. If there are any, they must be extremely powerful martial arts, so he won't be killed by me when I get close." "The guy you snatched the bow from is definitely not the real owner of the bow." Gargamel curled his lips: "I don't know the material of this spar, but judging from the age, I'm afraid there must be at least a few A hundred years!"

Afterwards, Gargamel held the Bow of Nirvana in both hands, and handed it to Du Wei: "Look, do you see the decorations on it? This is a strange magic circle. Even I can't understand this magic circle, but What is certain is that this is mainly wind magic, supplemented with some buff magic such as strength, agility and speed... Can combine several magics together to create such a complicated magic circle It can be made so small... Well, the master who made this bow is at least a figure at the level of a master of magic!" Du Wei didn't care much about these things: "What I want to know is how to use it?"

Speaking of this question, Gargamel suddenly burst out laughing. The mouse prime minister smiled obscenely and complacently. He couldn't hide his complacency in his voice. He grinned and said, "Well, this is the real most mysterious place! Let me tell you Come on, little Du Wei, you really made a profit this time! The power of this thing is absolutely powerful! And it is far beyond your imagination!" After finishing speaking, it flicked the bow string lightly, and said: "So that poor ghost whose bow was snatched by you is a warrior, right? Is this bow a samurai can use to stimulate fighting spirit? After all, there is magic on it. Blessing, after being stimulated with fighting energy, fighting energy can be condensed into air arrows, whether it is the speed, accuracy, or power of firing, it is several times stronger than the best ordinary strong bows. From this point of view, it can already be regarded as an arrow. It’s a rare high-grade bow on the mainland! But in fact, I think the original unlucky owner of this bow doesn’t know how to really use this thing at all! Hehe…” As it said, it suddenly stretched out its hand and fiddled lightly with the arrow notch of the bow, and then the mouse slowly injected a bit of magic power, and the bow immediately shone with bright colors!There was a slight click, and a small crack suddenly appeared in the arrow slot, and then a magic crystal rolled down from it! "Let me announce the true face of this magical bow!" The mouse laughed: "This bow is not for warriors at all! It is a magic bow! It is specially made for magicians use!" "...Magician?" Du Wei was really surprised. Bows and arrows used by magicians? Do wizards need bows and arrows?When the magicians on the mainland were fighting, who didn't hold a magic wand, chanted spells deeply, and cast powerful magic to hurt the enemy? Using bows and arrows is a standard samurai patent! If magicians need to use bows and arrows to fight the enemy, will it be necessary for magicians to use long swords and broadswords in the future? "Don't doubt, this is indeed a bow specially made for magicians!" Gargamel saw Du Wei's suspicion, and said solemnly: "You are just lucky, little Du Wei! Fortunately, no one knows about this bow. If its details are known, it will be something that will cause many people to break their heads to snatch it!" After finishing speaking, Gargamel lightly picked up the magic crystal that rolled down from the bow. This is a top-quality magic crystal, but the color has faded after an unknown number of years, and the magic power inside has obviously been consumed. Exhausted, and the passage of time has also made this crystal full of tiny cracks, and even some places have deteriorated, revealing a gray-black color. Gargamel held the crystal, closed his eyes, and slowly injected a trace of magic power into the crystal.After the magic power crystal was infused with magic power, the originally dull crystal glowed with a glimmer of luster again! Gargamel re-inserted the crystal infused with magic power into the groove of the bow's arrow notch, and after a soft wave of magic, the groove disappeared immediately, and the surface of the bow looked extremely smooth, without any gaps. "Take it!" Gargamel handed the bow to Du Wei again, and said with a smile, "Let's go to the roof, you can try this new toy." One person and one mouse immediately moved across the stairs, and Du Wei came to the roof of the small building where he lived alone. Standing on the roof of the three-story building, Du Wei held the bow in both hands and looked up at the sky.The sun was setting in the distance, and the faint golden afterglow fell on the earth. Du Wei looked at the setting sun and pulled the bowstring silently. He only felt that the tentacles were very flexible.As the bowstring was drawn, a wave of magic power that shocked Du Wei immediately appeared on the entire bow!The strong vibrations gathered more and more, and finally faintly condensed into a point... Du Wei clearly saw that on the arrow slot, a wind blade formed by the wind magic condensed by the bow itself was forming, and then the wind blade seemed to shrink and shrink, and finally condensed into a small arrow same shape... As soon as Du Wei loosened the bowstring, he heard a whoo... Is this an arrow? No!This is clearly a shooting star! This meteor whizzed out of Du Wei's hands, whizzing away towards the direction of the extremely distant sunset!That castration is as fast as running thunder!The brilliant magic radiance scattered light dust in the air!In such an instant, this meteor has disappeared within the reach of Du Wei's sight! Du Wei was stunned!Looking at the direction in which the meteor disappeared in the distance, although I couldn't see the power of the place where it was shot, but just relying on this scene, the power must not be small! Such a power is more than twice as powerful as when I saw that guy use this bow to kill a court magician and injure the inner court warrior Chick two nights ago! What's more, I don't have any fighting spirit, and I'm only slightly stronger than ordinary people in terms of martial arts...but I can shoot such a terrifying arrow! "Sure enough... so strong!" Gargamel stood on tiptoe, looking at the sunset direction, watching the shooting star go away, the mouse suddenly had a flash of emotion in his eyes: "If this kind of bow can be popularized, then all the people in the world who are good at archery All warriors will be replaced by magicians!" Du Wei resisted the shock in his heart, sat down slowly, and stroked the bow of death with his hands back and forth! Magic weapon!A truly magical ranged weapon! It does not require any power from the user, it is a long-range attack weapon powered entirely by magic power! ! "Little Du Wei, have you guessed it?" Gargamel's eyes flickered: "Look... If you magnify this bow dozens of times, and change its shape a little... wouldn't it be the same as the one made on the wall of the imperial capital?" The craftsmanship has been completely lost..." "Magic cannon!" Du Wei answered in a steady voice, his voice didn't seem to be able to hear a trace of vibration, but his eyes were extremely strange: "If this thing is enlarged dozens of times, it is almost equivalent to a magic cannon! Or ...The manufacturing principle of this thing is exactly the same as the magic cannon!" ... There is another episode that Du Wei didn't know at the time: Just after Du Wei tested the Bow of Death for the first time, on the same day, the garrison of a small town five miles away from the imperial capital reported an official document: In the summer of the 960th year of the Imperial Calendar, on the evening of June 10, a meteorite fell in the southeast sky, the red light was bright, and the sound was like thunder. The mountain is blocked by rubble, please pray for repairs and so on... No one knew the truth of this matter, even Du Wei himself didn't know that the power of this arrow was so great! ... The day before Summer Festival. Made went out early in the morning. He was given a "beautiful errand" by Master Du Wei these two days, and he was asked to bring enough gold coins with him every day, wandering around the streets, hotels, square restaurants, leaving this Uncle Mad's footprints, where there are many people, where will he gather.Master Du Wei's explanation is very simple: "You just go out to the streets to eat, drink and have fun. You can spend as much as you want, and you can just reimburse all the money when you come back. But there is one thing, what interesting, lively, and weird news happened in the imperial capital recently, There are other things that are different from the past, you have to read them carefully and memorize them one by one, and you will tell me when you come back." Made didn't say anything about such a weird order, but just took the money bag and went shopping in the street. The day before the summer festival, the bustling streets in the imperial capital were crowded with people, and countless shops opened their doors for business. Merchants from all over the world displayed the strangest things brought in from all over the mainland.You must know that the summer festival is an annual grand festival on Roland Continent, and in the imperial capital, there are also military parades of the City Guards and Imperial City Guards, as well as grand citizen parades and celebrations.Especially this year, I heard that on the eve of the National Day, the court astrologer did astrology divination, and it was said that an unlucky broom star appeared. , His Majesty the Emperor specially ordered this year's summer festival to be more grandiose, trying to use this celebration and celebration to sweep away the haze brought by the broom star! For such a lively event, tourists from all over the world flocked to the imperial capital.All of a sudden, the bustling imperial capital was overcrowded, and all the hotels were full, especially the hotels near the central square of the imperial capital. The prices were ten times higher than usual, and the supply of guest rooms was in short supply.It is said that this year, His Majesty the Pope was specially invited to perform divine magic in the square, and the chairman of the magic union will also bring those mysterious great magicians to come. More importantly, His Majesty has issued a special order that on the day of the festival, the magic circle in the imperial capital will be activated! !That thousand-year-old magic circle left behind by His Majesty Aragorn!The last time the magic circle was opened was at the end of the alien war in the Northwest Grassland twenty years ago. In order to welcome the triumphant expeditionary army, the magic circle was opened. Citizens who have experienced that scene deeply remember when the magic circle was opened What a majestic scene!The brilliant magical light enveloped the entire imperial capital, and the sky changed into colorful colors!You can even vaguely see all kinds of strange monsters flying in the sky!Thousands of illusions, confusing people's eyes! Such excitement may not be able to catch up once in a lifetime. Wouldn't it be a pity if I missed it? ! Therefore, this year's summer festival, the number of foreign tourists in the imperial capital was several times higher than in previous years, which made the people in the imperial capital's public security office very busy.The number of soldiers in the patrol team of the public security station that patrols the streets every day has tripled. When there are too many people, dragons and snakes mix together, which often leads to many public security incidents. Fights, troubles, theft and robbery emerge in endlessly. Almost all closed.The soldiers in the security station complained one after another. Everyone canceled all their vacations and stayed on duty all day. They even slept in the barracks of the security station. Many people, even some officers, hadn’t gone home to hug their wives for several days. . It is said that the city guards are also exhausted. There are so many people entering and leaving the imperial capital these days, the number of city guards checking at the city gates has tripled.And just the day before yesterday, in order to reduce the pressure on the imperial capital, according to His Majesty's consent, and the joint order issued by the headquarters and the government affairs department, a temporary restriction was imposed on the entry and exit of the imperial capital. , can only be queued up, single number to enter, even number to reject!Everyone who enters the imperial capital must go through strict and meticulous registration! At the gates of several cities, additional brigades of heavily armed Guards soldiers were dispatched. If a riot occurs, it can be suppressed immediately on the spot. Moreover, because the imperial capital is overcrowded, in order to ensure the safety of the nobles and prevent some outsiders from fleeing into the noble residence area to cause any safety problems, the Guards specially dispatched an infantry regiment to guard the area leading to the noble residences near the imperial city. In the "rich district" of the city, even the temples are temporarily under martial law... After all, there are many believers on the mainland. All believers who come to the imperial capital do not want to go to the sacred temple to admire the statues of great gods and listen to the teachings of the temple. Good news, in this way, in order to ensure the order of the temple, a lot of troops were also deployed to maintain order in the streets near the temple. Only the vicinity of the Magic Union was as quiet as ever.After all, a magician is an existence of awe in people's hearts, and no one would want to go to the vicinity of the magic union to see what a magician looks like! Made ran outside for a few days, even a wallet was stolen by a thief during the period, and two pairs of shoes were trampled off by crowded pedestrians while strolling. After finally reporting all the news to Du Wei, the young master There didn't seem to be any expression of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, but he just said lightly: "Understood, for the expenses of these few days, you can pay the gold coins after paying the bill yourself." After Made left, Du Wei tapped his forehead and sat quietly for a while, with a strange smile on his lips, and said to himself: "Well, troops were sent to the gate of the city... troops were sent to the residences of noble families, and troops were also arranged near the temple. The army...it really looks like it's going to do something big!"
