Chapter 1699: Death Under the Moon
“What’s wrong, sister Ruola?” Fuz stopped sorting the books and ran over.
Ruola read every page of "The Dead and Mourning" carefully, and the expression on her face became more and more solemn: "This is it, this is it~!" She picked up the book and put it aside again. I flipped through a few pages of "Anthology of Fuxing" and saw the rubbings of the color pages above. : "It's the upper-level text of the Tyrus Dynasty... So that's it!"
Fuzi was confused when he heard it: "What is it? Sister Ruola, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand it?" "Yeah?"
Ruola didn't speak and continued to read.
Fuz flipped through all the books, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he muttered: "I'm going to take a shower and get ready for bed, sister."
Putting on clothes and entering a separate bathroom to take a shower, he gradually heard a faint sound outside. The sound of the flute came, and Fuzzy was puzzled: "It's so late, who is playing the flute? It must be the uncle who is watching the night. It's really annoying, aren't you afraid of disturbing dad and the others' sleep?" He was soaked with hot water, and after washing, he was wrapped When he came out of the bathrobe, he found that Ruola was gone.
“It’s strange, where did sister Ruola go? Did she go to the bathroom?” Fuzi heard the flute outside and stopped. He got dressed and waited in the room for a while. When he saw Ruola, she returned. He didn't come back, so he had to go out to look for her.
When he came to the outdoor cabin corridor, Fuzi glanced on both sides and walked to the deck behind the nearby airship. He was about to see if Ruola was outside when he suddenly saw Qian Qian. A figure jumped down from the side and said curiously: "Hey, isn't that sister Alice? Didn't she faint? Why did she get up?" Fuz ran to the freeboard and looked down, but she had already disappeared under the moonlight. He saw the figure of the person just now. He couldn't believe it, so he returned to the cabin and took a look at the rooms where the unconscious people were placed. As expected, there was no sister Alice in them!
"The figure just now was really Sister Alice!" Fuz scratched his head and closed the door: "By the way, Sister Ruola, I should go find her." He ran a few steps, and then Stopped: "Should we wake up Dad and the others?"
During the hesitation, two sounds came from the end of the corridor in the cabin.
Fuz heard the sound and passed by. The light from the crystal lamp above the corridor was not very bright, and even a little dim. He couldn't see the situation at the end, so he shouted softly: "Sister Ruola, is it you? Or...sister Alice?"
The floor in the cabin was made of wood, and there was gravel at the end. The sound of heavy-soled boots scraping against the wooden planks.
The old mayor of Zhuyan Town was hiding in the corner at the end of the corridor with his staff in one hand. He just heard some movement in the corridor, gathered magic energy in his hand, and suddenly rushed out quickly, raising his hand. He was about to cast out the magic, but found no one else in the corridor of the cabin.
"Huh?" The old mayor pulled off the white turban on his head, revealing his white hair and beard. The crystal stone on the top of the slender silver staff in his hand lit up with white light and shined forward. The corridor was brightly illuminated: "Where are the people?" He muttered in his heart. The sound clearly came from the corridor a few seconds ago. He stepped forward carefully step by step, the silver staff in his palm once again filled with weak magic power, and the five sand demons slowly gathered around him and patrolled forward and behind him.
Fuzzy was lying on the floor of the mezzanine of the cabin, and through a small hole that was eaten by insects, he saw two sand demons swimming slowly in the corridor below. This place was the place he discovered while playing hide-and-seek in the airship when he was bored. There was a flap on the cabin roof on the right side of the corridor intersection that could be pushed open. He often hid here to hide, but unexpectedly he became the to his rescue.
He swallowed nervously, and the old mayor of Zhuyan Town happened to walk under the hole. He was worried that he would be discovered, so he didn't dare to move or breathe loudly. In such a quiet environment, any sound could be heard. He just called sister Alice and Ruola, and when he didn't get a response, he knew there was something wrong. However, he wondered why the old man had already entered the cabin, and the people on the airship still didn't notice it. According to my father's arrangement, someone should be on duty every night.
He saw the old mayor below opening the door of the cabin, apparently looking for him, but the strange thing was that no one in the room was awakened. It seemed that the old man must have used some method to make everyone fall asleep.
Suddenly, a scream came from far outside the airship. The old mayor was startled, came out of the room, and ran out quickly. Fuzzy in the cabin listened to the sound of footsteps and felt that the old man had disembarked from the boat, so he climbed back to the movable flap and jumped off. He ran to a nearby room and took a look. Sure enough, everyone was fast asleep and couldn't wake up even if they shouted. He was worried that everyone was suffering from the same situation as Shakhan and the others, but after thinking about it carefully, he saw that these people were breathing evenly and their faces were normal, not like they had passed out in the cave. Suddenly he understood: "Ah, it was the sound of the flute before. The sound of the flute must have hypnotized them all! But why am I okay?"
Outside the airship, the old mayor heard the sound and came over. I was horrified when I saw the bloody and broken corpse of a companion on the sand. This was the town guard he brought out. He was originally arranged to be on guard here to watch out for people escaping from the two airships and three hot air balloons, but he was unexpectedly killed!
Two town guards nearby heard the sound and came over. They were shocked when they saw this scene.
The old mayor asked: "You were on guard outside, did you see anything?" One person said: "I was on the other side of the boat and saw nothing."
< br>Another person said: "I saw a black shadow running past on the deck of the airship."
"Black shadow! Where did he run to?" asked the old mayor.
The one pointed forward: "In the direction of Qiu Island. I saw that figure coming from the entrance of the spiritual pagoda."
The entrance of the spiritual pagoda is the entrance to the cave, less than three meters away from the airship. 100 meters distance.
"Come from over there!" The old mayor glanced towards the entrance of the pagoda: "Strange, is there anyone who hasn't been hypnotized? Is it the voice heard on the boat? No, no "
"Mayor, what are you talking about?" asked the town guard.
The old mayor said: "There is a person on the airship I checked who was not hypnotized. He should still be on the airship. Go and catch him." He determined that the human voice heard on the airship The strength should not be strong, otherwise he would take action at that time. And now the guards in the town were being killed silently, and it was definitely not the person on the boat who did it.
"What about the shadow that ran away?"
The old mayor said: "You two follow me. No one can escape. Ask others to search the boat."
… …
In the desert, Ruola ran with her feet, her hand touched her belt The two books stuffed in the hanging wallet were the unknown document and "A Brief History of the Tires Dynasty": "Tower, that tower, if my guess is correct, that tower is the 'Tower of Babel'! I have to Let’s check again.”
After running around for more than an hour, she felt that She was really tired. She held her hands and knees on the sand and gasped for air. She suddenly came to her senses and said, "Oh, why did I run out alone? I should have asked someone to take me there. I was so stupid!" She was annoyed! He patted himself on the head and said, "I just couldn't wait to see the tower." I forgot that I have no ability to go there. It will take ten hours to walk from here. Just ask Fuz to summon his thunder eagle to take me there." She turned back and looked in the direction of the airship, which was not too far away. Just as I was about to walk back, I suddenly saw a desert doodle wandering alone.
"Why is there a Dudu bird here? It doesn't seem to be wild." Ruola saw that the Dudu bird had a leather saddle and reins: "Ah, it should be those people." The people she was talking about were the eight Shasha. Steal. She remembered that when she met the eight people in the desert, it seemed that someone was riding a doo-doo, but she didn't know why they came here. Maybe they got lost after the rope was not fixed.
She carefully rode on the back of the bird, looked in the direction of the airship and thought for a moment: "Forget it, let's not trouble them. Everyone has been tired for a day and should have a good rest. I will go to Qiu Island alone. ...There won't be any danger, it's not very far anyway..." What she said to herself was not confident. The desert travel during this period of time made her bolder, but her own The abilities are also very clear. After thinking about it, she still didn't dare to act alone, so she decided to go back and call someone.
Suddenly, she saw a figure flying quickly above her head. Because of the huge moon, she could vaguely see the person flying by: "It's... it's Alice? How is this possible?" It looked like it, but she thought it was impossible. She shouted twice, quickly pulled up the reins and chased after him.
