Chapter 3031 Big Pit
"——Don't go any further."
A lazy warning voice came from the top of the wall.
Forty-one, who had just stepped over the threshold of the gate, quickly retracted his feet, stood with his hands behind his back, and stood neatly on the small piece of bluestone behind the door. The most important thing to do in the relevant departments is to abide by the rules, because the tasks handled by the departments involve many high-dimensional space-time projects, which are very easy to get out of control, and "rules" are the most effective way to deal with the out-of-control phenomenon.
As he stopped.
The palace in front of him, although somewhat dilapidated, but still supported by the skeleton inside, shook slightly like a mirage, shattered with a bang, and turned into another appearance.
The original winding corridors, nearly dry pools, arch bridges, temples, pavilions, stone statues, and the huge locust tree in the garden, etc., all disappeared completely, replaced by an elliptical deep pit and a strange tree standing in the center of the pit.
The tree seemed to be shrouded in a distorted bubble of time and space. Although Forty-one was standing at the door, theoretically, the distance between him and the tree would not exceed the length of Xuanhuang Palace, but he could not see the tree clearly. He only vaguely saw several figures standing under the tree, seemingly arguing about something.
The edge of the deep pit sank almost close to the wall. Pieces of broken stones hung on the wall of the pit. When the breeze blew, the broken stones fell down with a rustling sound, as if falling into a cliff or an abyss, making a long and hollow sound in the deep pit.
A drop of cold sweat oozed out of Forty-one's temples.
He was very sure that if there was no reminder just now, he would definitely fall into the deep pit if he took another step forward. It was hard to predict what the result would be.
Thinking of the reminder.
He quickly raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound just came from.
Then he saw the yellow tabby cat lying on the wall with its paws curled up. This cat was not a member of the ‘Order’, but it was the Order’s personal attendant. More importantly, it was a legendary creature.
Any wizard would show enough respect to a legend.
“Mr. Huang.”
Forty-one respectfully bowed to the cat on the wall and said hello.
But a thought flashed through his mind. The Order’s shadow was a cat, his avatar was a cat, and his personal attendant was also a cat. Maybe he should also raise a cat to bring himself closer to this small group? Or, he could just practice directional transformation and turn himself into a cat.
The cat drooped its eyelids and lazily shook its ears.
“Hmm.”
In front of outsiders, it was always a legend, and naturally had the reservedness and pride of a legend.
Of course, Forty-one would not think that the cat was impolite. To be able to get a response from a legend was a very important performance for a wizard of his rank.
"——What should we do with the magic books and collections sent by Babel?" A cursing voice sounded behind Forty-one. It was the fist-sized black kitten.
That is, the clone of the head of order.
It was not asking Forty-one, but the cat on the wall.
Theoretically, the yellow cat was not an employee of the relevant department and should not know such things. But when working in the relevant department, you must follow the rules and be flexible. So Forty-one wisely turned his eyes back to the vague tree at the bottom of the pit, pretending not to hear the question from the black cat.
The yellow cat raised his chin slightly, and his whiskers trembled.
"——Why ask me about this? You are the person in charge of order!" It shook its tail impatiently, as if it was driving away a nasty fly, and it looked like it would turn around with its butt twisted in the next second.
"I'm just a clone!" the black cat emphasized.
"The clone is also his clone!" The cat snorted.
"——If you hadn't given him such a bad idea, how could this place become like this! Shouldn't you be held responsible for this?" The little black cat's hair stood up and he spoke sternly.
"——What a joke!"
The yellow cat was not afraid, stopped turning back, and leaned down slightly: "Did I drive away that old locust tree? There is a pit in the yard, don't you think of filling it with something?"
This is true, Forty-one drooped his eyelids and thought silently.
Even if he saw a tree pit in the yard, he would find a way to fill it. The problem is, according to what the two cats said, the pit was not so big originally. Did their own order chief do something to make it look like this?
The young operator sighed silently, feeling a little tired.
At the same time, he felt ashamed of his previous idea of wanting to become a cat.
"——Besides, I just gave suggestions! Suggestions! If the person in charge of the relevant department can casually adopt other people's suggestions without having to bear any consequences, then what is his "responsibility"?"
Huang Huali's momentum became more and more tough, almost leaning down half of his body: "If he hadn't been so careless, how could he be blocked here by two witches, and then panic and scare the old tree? In the final analysis, it's all his responsibility!"
Forty-one began to consider whether to plug his ears.
Can he hear these words?
"——You two, shut up!"
A slightly harsh and distorted voice came from the void. The next second, the void above the deep pit twisted and rolled. The young wizard in a wide cloak stepped through the void and appeared at the gate, exuding a suffocating legendary aura.
But immediately, Forty-one noticed that the faint red light shrouding the Order Master was fading rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was condensed and disappeared into the ruby ring on his hand.
The suffocating breath also dissipated.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Zheng Qingchong nodded slightly to the green robe in front of him and glanced at the carriage outside the door.
Then he looked at the huge pit behind him.
He sighed in distress.
"——The new library has not been repaired yet." The owner of Xuanhuang Palace paused, turned his head and looked at his shoulder: "Well, then I will continue to trouble you, hard work..."
Forty-one did not see anyone behind the Order Master.
Just when he was confused.
But he saw that the green snake hanging on the Order Master's ear suddenly stretched out its neck, and the snake head swelled up in the wind. In an instant, it was as big as a palace, and opened its mouth like a house with the door opened. There was nothing inside, only a bright red slide, extending from the door to the dark, invisible depths of the house.
Then the person in charge of order patted Forty-one on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work. Put all those magic books and storage objects in this room... Well, you don't have to go in. The situation inside is more complicated. Just throw the things on that slide."
