Twilight Speaker

Chapter 126 Ancestors first!
Most of the people surrounding the castle wore hoods or masks, and the wild extraordinary people would not easily reveal their identities.

"Ok?"

Wei Shu frowned:
"That person, the Director of the Law Enforcement Agency, is also attending the party?"

He looked at a dignified middle-aged man and the three law enforcement officers beside him not far away, feeling somewhat doubtful. These four people, standing behind the dignified old woman, seemed to be led by her?

strangeness.
Is he some big shot in the city or province?

This shouldn't be the case. Wei Shu knows the appearance and general information of all the top figures in the city and province, without exception.

Although he is just an ordinary person, a deposed king and a commoner king, he still has some background of his own.

The gate of the castle slowly opened at this time, and a one-armed wizard wearing a wizard hat and holding a ceremonial staff slowly walked out.

"Welcome everyone to the castle."

He bowed gracefully:

"Everyone, please come in."

Wei Shu frowned, suppressed his doubts in his heart, and followed the crowd with his precious daughter, walking carefully towards the castle.

'Woof woof woof! !'

There was a loud and violent sound of dog barking, accompanied by a noise that pierced the soul. Many extraordinary people were caught off guard and stumbled. Some covered their ears, and some were in confusion.

They all looked and saw a dog, a big black dog.

"Everyone."

The Archmage had a warm smile on his face:
"It's still the same old rule. Before entering the castle, Wangcai needs to come and sniff it to make sure no one of you brings anything you shouldn't bring into the castle. I hope you can forgive me."

After a pause, he smiled and added:

"After all, no one wants to have a good party and then suddenly have an attack or even a pollution incident happen, right?"

Many extraordinary people nodded in agreement. This was indeed an old rule for gatherings in the castle, and it was understandable.
After all, in such a large gathering of extraordinary people, no one knows each other's background. What if there are mentally disturbed lunatics or even evil god believers among them?
It’s better to be safe.

just
Some extraordinary people are a little confused, about wealth?

How come this hellhound, which is very famous throughout Tianchuan City, has been given such a new and vulgar name?
Was it taken by the Grand Master?
It doesn't seem like the name of a great wizard would be so crappy.

Wangcai then strode forward with his head held high, revealing his true form. His muscles swelled, and the breath of hell lingered between his dark hair, accompanied by the cries and roars of some ghosts.
Just blink,

It swelled to three meters tall, with its fangs protruding, and the weeds near the ground withered spontaneously when it stomped with its four legs.

A sage-level hellhound from the hell dimension.

Wangcai was conscientious and responsible. He would sniff every visitor before they entered the castle. The horrible breath of hell was so lingering that even the extraordinary people could not help but shiver.
Soon they came to the father and daughter of the Wei family. Wei Shu looked unhappy. He had neglected this beforehand and didn't know there was such a thing. He said in embarrassment:
"Sir, my daughter and I have not yet entered the transcendental realm. If we are infected by the breath of hell, we may..."

There are extraordinary people who look at us with disdain. Why would ordinary people come to attend this party?
He wanted to scold them and expel them from the wizard, maybe he could win the wizard's favor.
But at this moment, the three-meter-tall terrifying hellhound stepped forward and...
The hellhound slowly lowered its huge head, and licked Wei Tuantuan in a friendly, gentle, and restrained manner, with the breath of hell.

"Oh! Wangcai, drool!"

Wei Tuantuan spoke angrily, Wei Shu was stunned, and the little girl reacted immediately and jumped behind her father with a frightened look.

Having come to the castle so many times, she is already very familiar with Wangcai.
The great wizard smiled and said:

"You two don't need to be tested, just go in."

Wu Shangpin felt a little nervous. His first meeting with this young lady was not a pleasant one, and his master obviously liked this young lady.
Every time this girl came to the castle, he tried to avoid her, so as not to be remembered and then be bullied.
The extraordinary people around looked at each other in bewilderment. Wei Shu was obviously a little dazed and realized that something was wrong - but he didn't have time to think about it, as a bunch of extraordinary people were waiting behind him. He immediately took Wei Tuantuan, who was wiping his saliva, into the castle.

At the same time, among the crowd outside.

"Pay attention to this."

The old woman said calmly:
"According to my experience, when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong."

"Yes, yes, yes." The Director of the Law Enforcement Agency wiped the sweat off his face and said respectfully, "We will definitely remember it!"

After a pause, he looked sideways at the three-man team and said:
"Everyone, listen to Senior Wu's teachings. He is a senior specially invited from the Great City Secret Adjustment Department. He just arrived this morning just to guide us!"

Captain Wang Qiuyu, the freckled boy, and the long-haired young man looked at each other, nodded timidly, and looked towards the castle with eyes full of fear.

The old woman was keenly aware of this and frowned slightly. The Extraordinary Law Enforcement Agency of Donghong Country is similar to the Secret Investigation Department.

But the law enforcement department in Tianchuan City is too bad.
She didn't think much about it. Something happened in the big tribe. A natural disaster-level event broke out along the coast of Donghong Country. It would take two days for them to arrive.
I rushed here from the Great City in advance, and hurried all the way. I just arrived in Tianchuan City and came here less than an hour ago, just to find out the current situation of the ancestral land.

Only in this way can we ensure everything goes well when the great elders arrive in two days and the grand ceremony begins.
But, is it really a good idea to sacrifice so many extraordinary people alive?

Wu Mengling felt a little guilty.

But she couldn't influence the decision of the clan.

As her thoughts turned thousands of times, she sighed slightly and said lightly:
"Okay, let's go in together. Your mission this time is to maintain order, right? Then I won't go with you. The Great City is under the control of the Secret Adjustment Department, and there will definitely not be such extraordinary gatherings. I am very curious about this and want to experience it."

The director smiled bitterly:
"The Great City is truly a model for all nations in terms of exceptional governance"

The old woman rolled her eyes at him, and the director realized that he had said the wrong thing. Six years ago, an extremely vicious out-of-control incident broke out in the Great City.

What I said did sound a bit sarcastic.

He quickly shut his mouth.

The five people, led by Wu Mengling, followed the crowd into the castle. The hellhound seemed to notice something when it sniffed, and its fur stood up a little. It stared at Wu Mengling fearfully.
But it did not make any other moves—it was also intelligent, a saint, perhaps close to the level of an angel—in front of its new master, it was nothing and could not stir up any trouble.

After entering the castle, the extraordinary people followed the great wizard to the spacious lobby on the first floor of the castle.

Here, as always, there are two long tables in the middle, with many chairs and small round tables scattered around.

The Archmage tapped the ground lightly with his staff and spoke gracefully:
"It's still the same old rules. The party will be divided into three days. The first day is a day for everyone to trade freely, and the second day will be an auction. If you have any extraordinary items that you want to sell at a good price, you can contact me in advance."

"At the end of the third day, I will organize everyone to exchange some extraordinary knowledge with each other, and I will also tell some of it."

"The guest rooms have been cleaned up. There are a lot of guests attending the party this time. Fortunately, we have enough guest rooms."

As he spoke, the Grand Master glanced at the many extraordinary people indifferently:
"It's the same old rule. The castle has nine floors, and everyone's activities cannot exceed the eighth floor. You are not allowed to go up to the top floor. There is one more rule. You are not allowed to enter the wheat field behind the castle, and you are not even allowed to peek. If you violate it."

He didn't say much, and the extraordinary people all shuddered.

"Okay, now."

The Archmage struck the ground with his staff again and bowed gracefully:
"The castle party has officially begun!"

Accompanied by the words of the great wizard,

One by one, the ghost servants he summoned in advance floated out, carrying food, snacks and drinks, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.

The extraordinary people gathered in twos and threes. Wei Tuantuan sat in the corner, stuffing snacks into his mouth. Wei Shu was a little amused:

"Child, are you here to eat or to get in touch with the extraordinary world?"

Wei Tuantuan said vaguely:

"Dad, it's only three days, there's no rush."

Wei Shu shook his head helplessly, then frowned and asked:
"Tuan Tuan, have you been here before?"

"Ah I?"

Wei Tuantuan swallowed the soft bread and roast suckling pig, and said guiltily:

"How is it possible? How could I have been here? You didn't allow me to come, and I was always obedient!"

"is it?"

Wei Shu was very suspicious. No one knows a daughter better than her father. It would be strange if this girl would be obedient. Mainly because he felt that Wei Tuantuan always showed that she was familiar with the castle intentionally or unintentionally.
"You're still hiding a secret, aren't you?"

Wei Shu sighed:

"Okay, okay, my daughter is grown up now and has her own little secrets."

Wei Tuantuan quickly made excuses.

While the father and daughter were talking,
The old woman walked alone among the many extraordinary people, listening to some of their conversations with interest.
But she did not stay in the hall for too long, and walked up the stairs quietly.

When passing by some corridors, the old woman stared at the paintings and murals on both sides of the corridors, a little absent-minded.

"Ancestral land"

She recognized that many of the paintings depicted the faces of ancestors - she even saw a portrait of her own grandfather.

The ancestral land was lost hundreds of years ago. She was already in the Great City when she was born, but her grandfather was still alive at that time. He was one of the pillars of the clan, but not long after that, he passed away in an extraordinary pollution incident.

This is also the reason why she joined the Secret Investigation Department.

The old woman sighed slowly, feeling a little agitated. This was their ancestral land, the ancestral land that they had been taught and talked about since they were young in the tribe, and the ancestral land that they would eventually return to!

And now, I have returned!
Passing by one painting and mural after another, she finally stopped at the end of the corridor, where there were two paintings.

It is a painting of two ancestors.

Wu Mengling looked at them carefully. One painting showed a majestic old man wearing armor and holding a sword high. The other showed a noble lady with a very delicate face dancing gracefully.

Keeping the appearances of the two ancestors in mind, she felt an inexplicable palpitation in her heart.

"Ancestors"

Sighed,

The old woman walked to the eighth floor of the castle. She stared at the stairs leading to the ninth floor and stepped up without any hesitation. A ghost servant came to try to stop her, but was frozen in the air.

There were many rooms on the top floor, most of which were open, and there was nothing unusual or different among them, but in the middle, there was a small staircase going up to the tower.

Wu Mengling stood in front of the stairs and stared at the tower. The door of the tower was half open and half closed. Her expression became slightly solemn.

According to the instructions of the clan leader before departure, the tower in the ancestral land is the place where the spirituality is most concentrated. Both ancestors died in the tower.
She walked up the stairs and pushed open the half-open door. There was only a maid standing there stupidly with a broom in her arms.

The maid raised her head, and her delicate face made Wu Mengling feel like he was struck by lightning.

"First"

"Ancestor?"

She looked at the maid in bewilderment, who looked exactly like the elegant lady in the portrait of her ancestor.
