Chapter 788 That Arrow (Two in One)

After a day or two, Bai Yu roughly figured out the basic structure of the entire Shadow Kingdom.

In fact, he could only move around in the area covered by the castle.

If he wanted to leave, he had to get Scathach's consent, and she would directly open a portal to send people out.

If he wanted to sneak out, it was basically impossible.

There were seven walls in the Shadow Kingdom... This was a superficial statement. In fact, its number was far more than 'seven'.

The so-called seven walls essentially meant that 'the Shadow Kingdom was isolated from the world and could never be broken'.

The Shadow Kingdom was equivalent to the underworld in the midwinter mythology, a place where life could not enter, so in ancient times, those who were qualified to come here were all heroes without exception.

The seven walls were seven tests set by Scathach. Whoever could pass the test was qualified to enter the castle and become her disciple.

However, this rule is basically abandoned now. Those who entered the Shadow Kingdom later were either canonized or directly selected like Bai Yu.

Bai Yu was curious about what the world outside the city walls looked like, but Scathach didn't tell her.

She hardly needed to sleep, and spent most of her time teaching Bai Yu spearmanship. She was a very strict and patient teacher.

After all, Scathach's time was almost endless, and she had time to teach slowly over and over again until the student learned it thoroughly.

Bai Yu was curious about whether the Queen Master really had no entertainment activities?

Did she have no other way to pass the time except teaching and practicing spears?

The castle also had shadow servants to take care of it, so she didn't need to wash clothes, mop the floor, or cook.

Scathach denied it, saying that of course it was impossible, and she was also busy occasionally.

Bai Yu asked her what she would be busy with.

Scathach replied that she was researching.

She didn't explain what she was researching specifically.

After a week, Bai Yu couldn't stand it anymore. He was not a hardworking person. In the past, he upgraded very quickly. Now it was really difficult for him to recite scriptures and meditate.

He said that he was too tired, too busy, and too collapsed after a whole day, and he needed some personal time.

I only have five hours of sleep time in 24 hours a day, and the rest is spent practicing guns.

Scathach stares at me all day, straightens my back, stabs, pierces, and thrusts.

Even an iron man can't stand such abuse.

The Queen Master crossed her arms and said that she used to be much stricter than this. She gave you five hours of sleep, so you should not be ungrateful. What kind of busyness are you doing? Practicing guns is cultivation and progress. What are you busy with?

Bai Yu said that he was busy being studied.

Scathach asked, just tell me what you want.

Bai Yu raised four fingers, and he wanted to spare four hours every day for entertainment and rest.

Of course, Scathach would never agree.

After a lot of extreme bargaining, Bai Yu got two and a half hours of entertainment time every day.

But single-player entertainment basically does not exist in the Shadow Kingdom.

There are no books stored in the Shadow Kingdom. Scathach is a queen, but she has no country to manage. She herself is a general, a soldier, and a citizen. There is nothing to inherit, so there is no library.

Bai Yu was lucky that his car had a refrigerator and a large color TV, which also had a collection of many movies.

So during the two and a half hours of entertainment time, the two would lie in the back seat of the car, watch a movie, and chat about their feelings about the movie.

I thought watching movies would bring a little impact to Scathach in the modern entertainment industry, but Scathach was obviously not a normal audience, and her focus was very strange.

The first movie Bai Yu showed her was Titanic.

After watching it, Scathach crossed her legs and commented: "Why is there not even a superhuman on such a big ship?"

Bai Yu said: "In the world view of the movie, there are only mortals, no superhumans."

Scathach shook her head decisively and gave a low score, the reason being... not realistic enough, too magical.

The next day, Bai Yu changed a movie to the Lord of the Rings.

Because the trilogy was too long, it took three days to finish it intermittently.

The power system in the Lord of the Rings can't be said to be relatively weak, and it is the fantasy magic of the Western world. Isn't it enough to be included in the Queen's Eye?

Scathach said with interest: "Cute, I want to raise one."

"Raise what?" Bai Yu pointed to the movie screen and asked: "Giant Eagle?"

"No, Soren, that tower is very domineering, which fits my aesthetic." Scathach said.

God raises Soren Tower... You might as well say raise a Gollum!

Bai Yu rubbed his face and continued to change the next movie.

Another week passed.

Bai Yu then showed many movies one after another, with various historical backgrounds, some grand, some delicate, some highly rated, some bad movies...

Just like this, a week passed.

This time, both parties watched Spirited Away.

After watching it, Bai Yu asked Scathach about her feelings as usual. This time, the Queen Master did not answer, but looked away.

"I probably understand why you want me to watch these."

"These movies, without exception, start from the perspective of ordinary people to record a story."

"The protagonist may be extraordinary, but there must be something close to ordinary people. Even superheroes, after fading extraordinary powers, have a side that belongs to ordinary people."

"So, this is your underlying value."

Scathach turned sideways and hit the nail on the head.

Bai Yu nodded and admitted: "Any extraordinary person has practiced step by step from weakness. It can't be said that after becoming a saint, they are no longer human, right?"

Scathach asked back: "So, you think I am also a human?"

"I think so, don't you?"

"People can't live that long. I am already a demigod." Scathach shook his head slowly, looking far away and said: "Times are easy to change. Usually, they have to change every few decades or hundreds of years, and experience a historical change and a change of dynasties."

"It's not that I resist contacting things in the new era, but they are too easy to disappear and decay."

"At my age, I prefer things that don't change."

She stroked her magic gun, got off the car, stopped in the courtyard, and raised the bright red magic gun in the wind and snow.

"The one who matches me."

"Only the Shadow Kingdom and the magic gun."

She declared: "Pick up your weapons, the rest time is over."

...

The plan to transform the Queen's master was declared bankrupt.

What Bai Yu showed was what Scathach had experienced once, and it could not impress the queen with a long life experience.

She knew the novelty and fun of the outside world, but chose to accompany the ice and snow.

The only ones who are qualified to coexist with the immortals are the Shadow Kingdom in the ice and snow and the legendary magic spear skills.

She is not looking for a day or a night.

The excitement that young people like can no longer interest Scathach.

In just one week, she was tired of watching movies.

So Bai Yu stopped watching movies with her in the future, and changed to another entertainment method, one that is more in line with the tastes of the elderly.

Playing chess.

This will be very suitable for Scathach, because playing chess is very time-consuming and mentally.

And playing chess is a competitive game, and both sides need to decide the winner through gambling.

Scathach is very strong and very competitive.

But in the end, playing chess did not become Scathach's hobby. Instead, she was attracted by another thing... That is the Hellfire 3000 that Bai Yu escaped casually at that time.

This is a motorcycle, suitable for taking a ride, riding, and racing.

For outdoor interactions such as riding, a single person can do it, as long as there is a road.

The only drawback is that it is a bit difficult for the rider.

In the previous life, Bai Yu followed more than a dozen riders. After half a year, less than half of them were still updating. After another three months, there were only three left.

Once the will-o'-the-wisp sounded, the parents raised him in vain.

Bai Yu's preference for motorcycles is average. He will not ride unless necessary. Driving is obviously more comfortable; while Scathach showed a strong interest in riding.

After that, she raced in the Shadow Kingdom for at least an hour every day.

The castle is not a very suitable scene for racing, but she can control the Hellfire 3000 to come and go freely, riding from the first floor to the top floor, and then landing smoothly from the balcony with a stunt.

Later, she became fascinated by the thrill of the flame wheels driving on the city wall, because of the super performance of the Hellfire, as long as the speed is fast enough, its terrifying grip can even be flat on the ceiling.

Scathach in a tights and a ghost fire motorcycle look like the best match, plus she can free one hand to dance with the magic gun, and use the magic gun to perform various auxiliary steering and even pole vaulting... which makes motorcycle stunt actors call her an expert.

After only three days, her skills are enough to compete with a high-speed mother-in-law named Saint White Lotus in Akina Mountain.

But the interest probably won't last for many days.

Scathach prefers to move her body rather than her brain.

And her physical quality is really excellent, and she has already achieved perfect control, and basically there is no sport that she can't control.

Even the so-called most dangerous freehand rock climbing is nothing to her, because she can't fall to death at all, and she can also double jump, triple jump, and infinite moon step.

However, Bai Yu's little trick still failed.

Even if Scathach is fascinated by stunt motorcycles, it doesn't mean that she relaxes the quality of education for Bai Yu.

On the contrary, motorcycles are just hobbies, and teaching apprentices and practicing guns are life.

Her severity has reached a new level. She would occasionally bring out Bai Yu's words "Master, I want to improve too much" to teach him a lesson, which made Bai feel a little hurt.

Bai Yu was also forced to start working hard and making rapid progress.

If a young man doesn't work hard, he will jump back with sword energy.

A lot of time has passed.

Bai Yu calculated that it has been more than half a month since he came to the Shadow Kingdom. He missed Sister Shirley and Peggy a little, and wondered what the situation was like on the other side.

On the same day, when Bai Yu returned to the castle hall, he saw Scathach talking to a guest.

The other party did not actually appear in the Shadow Kingdom, but used some unknown method to project his consciousness.

When the other party saw Bai Yu coming back, he ended the visit, smiled at him, and turned away.

"Who was that just now?"

"Victoria... Queen Midwinter." Scathach stood up and said, "Every generation of Midwinter Emperors will come to see me, and she is a very special one among them. There are not many people who are capable and qualified to spy on the Shadow Kingdom."

"Is she busy?"

"She wants me to give you a holiday. Her birthday is coming soon. You should go back and make some preparations."

"Really?!"

"Are you excited?"

"No, no, no, I'm not excited." Bai Yu stood at attention: "I was quite excited."

Scathach wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, it was normal for young people to be unable to stand loneliness.

And I heard that he had a fiancée in Midwinter. After so many days in the Shadow Kingdom, he must have been suffocated.

"Master, your eyes are not right." Bai Yu's sixth sense said accurately: "Where are you looking?"

"I think one of the reasons why you can't calm down recently is that you are very angry. It's time to find a place to release it. Other disciples have had similar problems before. If they are not allowed to hug women, they might hug men and attack their fellow disciples. In order to avoid problems, I usually give them some leeway, so this time, I also agreed to Victoria's request."

Scathach said seriously: "I heard that you have a fiancée in Midwinter. Hurry up and get your body in good shape."

Bai Yu: "?"

Although I am very happy that you agreed to me, did you misunderstand something?

What happened to similar things before?

Is there really anyone who fucks men because they can't find a girlfriend here?

Scathach held her cheeks: "Why are you so confused and puzzled, and a little unbelievable? What I said is all true."

"Is there really someone forced to sell ditches?" Bai Yu was shocked.

"Well..." Scathach's expression also became a little more subtle, not unnatural or contemptuous, but subtle, as if it was commonplace, but still felt weird.

Bai Yu thought so too, this place is close to midwinter, and ditches literature has its solid soil.

"What if there is no girlfriend or lover?" Bai Yu asked again: "There must be someone who must be single, right?"

"Women are everywhere." The queen asked strangely: "There are many people who are willing to spend time with strong men."

"What primitive society."

"This is the original appearance of the world." Scathach said lightly: "It is normal for men to want to hug women, there is nothing shameful, why are you ashamed to talk about this?"

Bai Yu really couldn't find any words to refute, after all, compulsory education didn't teach it, he could only change the subject: "Are you too indulgent to your apprentice?"

Scathach closed her eyes, as if she was trapped in a long memory, and after a while, she opened her eyes.

"I teach the art of magic spear, not the principles of life."

"In the era I remember, all the great heroes who left legends were often people with poor personal ethics. They were fickle and violent, lustful and lustful. They were the embodiment of desire and violence. They sought powerful military force to realize their own ambitions."

"In this land of Europe, hero has never been a positive word, but a neutral word."

"If there is really someone who has extremely powerful power but maintains noble character and humble self-restraint, then he can no longer be called a hero."

"But he can be called a saint."

"How many saints have there been in history? I'm afraid they can be counted on one hand."

"Besides, it's too high. People who are too pure cannot survive, and the end of their ideals will definitely be collapse, because they underestimate human nature and desires. "

Scathach walked up to Bai Yu, stared into his eyes, and said: "I don't expect my disciples to become saints, I just hope that when the end comes, they will not regret the choices they made. "

"Leave the merits and demerits to the people of later generations to judge."

"So... is this the reason why you gave me a holiday and persuaded me to visit Yingchun Tower?" Bai Yu looked at the beautiful old woman with two guns: "Obviously, no matter what I said before, it was useless, but you actually allowed me to fire the Italian cannon. "

You didn't approve the formal leave application, but you approved it directly when I said I wanted to visit the Royal Brothel.

Seeing Bai Yu's strong reaction, Scathach seemed to have thought of something, and then asked tentatively: "You haven't hugged someone before, have you?"

"...I have!"

Scathach said tactfully: "If you don't understand, I can teach you."

Bai Yu: "?"

Scathach added: "I mean, I want to teach you the corresponding knowledge."

"My theoretical knowledge is much richer than yours." Bai Yu waved his hands repeatedly, feeling that if he continued to talk, his mentality would be messed up.

In order to avoid letting the purple-haired old woman ask the gorilla to be a virgin again, he corrected the original topic: "So how do I go back? How many days do you plan to give me a vacation?"

Scathach stood up and said: "Come with me."

...

Unlocked a new area in the Shadow Kingdom.

I don't know how to get there, but it was a space channel that Scathach directly broke with the magic gun.

"If you want to leave the Shadow Kingdom, you have to go through the seven walls."

"I can open a shortcut for you, and you can only go back and forth once."

"After leaving, if you want to come back at any time, you can decide for yourself."

Scathach raised her hand and drew a rune on the back of Bai Yu's hand.

"Runes?" Bai Yu remembered that Scathach was still a mage.

"It's just a long-lost supernatural system. With the death of its founder, it gradually declined and was replaced by magic." Scathach did not forget to teach at this point: "Any supernatural system has its founder. At the end of this road are usually gods, so they are also called the mysteries of God. By studying the mysteries, you can get the way to practice. This is the origin of the supernatural system."

"However, with the death of the gods, the mysteries will also disappear, and the supernatural system will die with it."

"Rune is no longer useful in this era, so I won't teach you."

Bai Yu nodded.

His attention was immediately drawn elsewhere.

He felt a familiar breath.

He had been locked up in the castle of the Kingdom of Shadows before, and it was the first time he saw seven walls. It was like a checkpoint set up in the valley.

But Bai Yu counted them.

"One, two, three... seven, eight?"

"Hmm?"

Bai Yu counted them again and confirmed that he was right. There were indeed eight walls.

"The last one is not a wall, but a door." Scathach said.

"I understand the reason." Bai Yu pointed to the marks on the seventh wall: "Why are there so many potholes here?"

"That is..."

When Scathach was about to answer, she suddenly paused.

She turned her head and looked at the main gate behind the seven walls.

"What a coincidence."

The queen ordered: "Stay away."

At the same time, the two magic spears were already in her palm.

It was the first time that Bai Yu saw Scathach in a posture of being on high alert. Although he didn't know what was going to happen next, he subconsciously felt that it was not a simple matter.

Boom boom boom——!

The door began to vibrate.

The vibration came from far away and came very quickly.

It was like you were standing on a bridge hole, and a train was passing through the railway track in the cave below... No, the vibration was much stronger than that. It was not the train running, but the shield machine was running rampant, as if a burrowing worm was tearing the mountain wall and biting the rocks.

Something was shuttling through the door.

Although he didn't know what was behind this door, that thing was tearing through the door and was about to come out!

"Open."

Scathach said the ancient words, and the dense marks on the door lit up. They were clearly runes and runes, with thousands of interlaced words.

The light lit up, and then the ten-meter-high door opened to both sides. A deep breath blew out from the door that opened suddenly.

Bai Yu stood away from the main entrance and stood on the side, but he could still feel the strong malice coming towards him.

It was the breath of the shadow world.

Moreover, it was much stronger and deeper than all the shadow worlds he had experienced.

So what Ludmila said at the beginning was true.

This is really another eye of the shadow world.

So, what will come out of the shadow world soon?

Bai Yu stared at the door, highly concentrated, and spread his soul power, wanting to find out.

Similarly, Scathach also took an extremely serious welcoming posture, with two magic guns, one in front and one in the back. She stared at the open door with indifferent eyes, waiting for the vibration and roar from the door.

About ten seconds later.

The vibration and roar disappeared.

Disappeared.

But the danger level has increased to the point where it cannot be added.

Just like the magic gun, the attack that cannot be sensed is the most dangerous.

Bai Yu confirmed that he did not blink, and confirmed that he did not look away at all.

But he also did not see when the attack came.

In the gap between the tenth and eleventh seconds.

Scathach raised his double guns, and the two magic guns and a dark black light intertwined with each other, presenting a strange three-line interweaving.

The space began to distort and deform at the intersection of the magic gun and the black light, and then collapsed.

A very short time was stretched to an extremely long time, and the three looked like a frozen picture, and the next moment the frame was pulled out.

At this time, the sound of the collision just sounded slowly.

Ding——! ! !

And this collision has ended.

Scathach stood in place, without taking a step back, but one of the two thorn magic guns broke and fell to the left and right.

And the black light had been hit by the double guns, deviated from the route, and embedded in the seventh wall, leaving a hole in the wall.

This is the origin of the seventh wall with pits and holes.

Boom——!

The door of the Shadow Kingdom closed with a bang.

Everything seemed to have never happened, leaving only the broken magic spear and the black light nailed to the wall.

Scathach threw down the broken spear and pulled the flashing black attack object from the wall.

"Now you see it, that's what happened... Every once in a while, it will fly out of the door. I don't know where it comes from, I can only feel that it is an attack from a strong man."

Scathach exerted a little force, and the black light in her hand gave a sharp resistance under her grip, but in the end it was defeated and was broken into two pieces. At this time, the dangerous fluctuations remaining on it dissipated.

"Wait." Bai Yu stared at it and said, "I seem to know it."

Taking the broken object, the breath made him more certain: "I do know it."

"This is... Luohu's arrow!"
