Chapter 456 The Secret Tower
A rental carriage? Doesn't exist.
The luxury carriage handmade by the Valente family is the basic configuration.
Looking at the carriage, Lynch thought of how he felt embarrassed many times for riding in the Valente family's carriage, and even felt ashamed of the formal suit given by the countess. Even if I, Lynch Levy, die in poverty without clothes, I can't take advantage of women by eating soft food.
It’s been so long, how can I feel confident now? It’s really strange.
The man driving the car was Mr. Louis, the butler with white hair and beard. The old man in his eighties is still so energetic. I don’t know if it is an illusion. Since Lynch was knighted, this old man has treated him very well. His attitude became even more frightening, and his eyes looked wary of thieves from time to time.
In the past, I was just vigilant, but now I have become strictly defensive. Why have I increased the risk?
Forget it, I’m not as experienced as an old man.
All the way east along the Eagle Avenue, passing through the valley area and the mill area where the land is precious, you can see the Black Forest area, another suburb of the Rhine City.
This area used to be a dense virgin forest, but it has been being developed and cut down in the past few hundred years. The wood has been continuously transported to the industrial area to support production, which has reduced the scope of the forest a lot. The periphery has been gradually eroded by the city. Fortunately, the interior is still intact. With its original appearance.
This place is inaccessible all year round, with only logging and transportation workers operating on the outskirts of the forest. The Secret Law Tower is located in this inaccessible suburb, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and quietly studying those forgotten secrets.
The long drive of more than an hour made the three of them drowsy, but when the carriage stopped, the three of them had already slept for several times. After waking up, Lynch inexplicably found that there was something on his shoulder. There was a faint smell of perfume on his legs, but the smell was different. I don’t know how it came about. Looking around at the two ladies who were looking at each other as if nothing had happened, Lynch bravely swallowed the question.
Yes, sometimes giving up is also a kind of courage, especially when life safety is threatened.
Anyway, the three of them jumped out of the car with red faces and admired the tower in front of them.
The thirty to forty-meter-high tower is not too tall from the perspective of the previous life. It is not even comparable to the Tower of Justice in the Hall of Order. The problem is that this tower goes straight up and down, and the top looks like it is upside down. Like an umbrella, it is very similar to the water supply tower in the previous life. In the steam age, this was already an architectural miracle.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the tower, they saw Mr. Gurman, the president of the Mystery Research Society, the seventh-level soul changer, and the great mystic mage, standing at the door. When he saw the three people, he immediately greeted them in person.
Lin Qi felt a little proud. This kind of respect in daily behavior was the invisible reward for what he usually did, making him feel that everything was worth it. But of course he wouldn't show this, he just bowed indifferently.
President Gurman is about sixty years old. His long beard has turned gray. He is wearing a purple robe and a pointed round hat. He is thin and has an elegant manner and a bookish look on his face. Like a weak scholar.
But when he thought about his seventh-level status, and then thought about how the senior Ole Chairman that night could kill a sixth-level strong man from a distance with just one sentence, Lynch immediately shook his head and crossed out the word "weak" in his mind. Lose.
"Welcome, you are very punctual." President Gurman showed no airs at all, stroking his beard with a smile on his face, "It will take a while for everyone to come, so come with me first."
Lynch knew that Gurman was not alone today, but when he saw Gurman's image, he suddenly had a bad feeling, "There won't be a bunch of occultists waiting for us."< br>
"How is it possible? Sir, you are thinking too much." Gurman said, "There are also ancient book experts, history experts, language experts, folklore experts, archaeological experts, cultural relic experts..."
"I still have experts at home. If something happens, I’ll go back first.”
These professions sound more dangerous than the other. Lynch feels that if these people get together, they can attract the evil god without even doing anything. There may be more than one.
"Hahaha, everyone is well protected, it doesn't matter." Gurman was obviously in a good mood and grabbed Lynch who was about to run away, "Don't worry even if the evil god comes, we are all There is a way to escape on your own.”
“Just leave us behind, right? I’d better go back.”
While joking, Gurman enthusiastically welcomed the three of them into the tower. A cool feeling hit their faces, and the July heat was instantly swept away.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a sculpture of a man. According to Gurman's introduction, this man's name is Nicholas, the founder of the Rand Mystery Research Society, and the first non-soul shifter in the dawn of the Fourth Age. Becoming a mystic and a pioneer in fighting against mystery, he discovered many secret techniques left over from ancient times throughout his life, until he finally went crazy.
The final ending, he said, was unusually peaceful, which made Lynch feel a little sad.
The atmosphere inside the tower is a bit like a library in a previous life, with the smell of paper and ink wafting in the air, and the marble floor being shiny. The empty hall was quiet and solemn, with only the sound of the soles of the three people tapping the ground echoing, making them involuntarily slow down their steps.
Occasionally, people pass by, each of them walking in a hurry and looking intently, as if they are in a hurry.
“Life is limited, but the exploration of the unknown is infinite. Everyone’s life is precious, and no one wants to waste time on irrelevant things.” Gurman explained while After stopping a passing member and exchanging a few words, the member hurriedly left. President Gurman then turned around and said, "While waiting for everyone to arrive, I will take you to see... well, I would like to ask, are you familiar with a tribe named Yisi?”
"Huh?" The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads, "I've never heard of it."
"That's strange." President Gurman frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "You and Do you know Hector?”
“Who is that?”
"The Archbishop of the Church of Wealth is an inhumane miser."
"I don't know him. Among the four churches, I am the only one from the Church of Wealth that I don't know. Maybe I don't have the same interest in things like wealth." Lin Qi sighed, "I... huh? Wait, Archbishop Fortune? A tribe?"
Lin Qi suddenly remembered that just a few days ago, he was still thinking about how to use the opportunity to put pressure on Archbishop Fortune. , letting him reveal the mysterious tribe information to himself, but later he got the information from the rare objects and they would take the initiative to find him, so he didn't take action.
So Yis is the name of this tribe? Are they... coming to the door on their own initiative?
“I’m familiar with that miser. He said that he needs to arrange for you to meet with the tribal representative, but he doesn’t know you and it’s not convenient for him to come directly. He also heard that you will come here for academic exchange today, so he I came directly with him," Gurman explained, "If you don't mind, I'll arrange a meeting with you while there's still time."
What an unexpected gain," Lin Qi muttered. The two ladies exchanged glances, nodded in agreement, and followed President Gurman into a small reception room next to the hall. The member just now had already arrived with two people.
The moment he saw the two of them, Lin Qi felt his scalp numb, his hair standing on end, and his eyebrows tingling.
Behind one of the people, Lin Qi once again saw a strange shadow.
