In the darkness, the two of them got into this room randomly, and when they walked in, it was dark inside. Even with the eyes of a night cat like Char Ya, it was a little uncomfortable. But just after closing the door quickly, the cold air behind him could not be explained, as if falling into the ice cellar!
In the darkness, the two of them touched each other, and the poor worm was stepped on by Xi Ya, almost screaming in pain, but fortunately, he covered his mouth in time, so he didn't cry out.
Xia Ya listened with her ears on the door panel, but her heart became strange.
Actually... can't hear? !
Is this door panel weird? The tentacles felt icy cold, like an iron gate, but why did they block out the sound from outside? When I touched it with my hands, I couldn't find anything weird.
At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up behind him, and it turned out that the poor worm lit a candle that he had been holding in his hand. With the faint candlelight, I finally saw the surroundings.
This seems to be a room that has been abandoned for an unknown time. Seeing that the walls are all exposed brick walls, without any decoration, the bare walls look a bit rundown, and there are some dusty spider webs hanging in the corners.
The poor bastard is a girl after all. When he saw so many spider webs, his face changed immediately, and he subconsciously put a sticker on Xiaya's side.
The room inside doesn't seem to be very wide, but it is very deep inside - it's better to say that this is a secret passage than a room.
After walking two steps at will, a piece of dust started to rise under his feet, leaving footprints of two people on the ground - Xiaya looked at the footprints on the ground and sighed: I don't know how many years no one has come in this place.
There are no decorations here, the only thing that is a bit peculiar is the feet: the ground under the feet is not flat, but the steps go down one by one, showing a lower arc.
Xia Ya was curious and looked at the poor worm. The two looked at each other, and the poor worm was also at a loss. Anyway, the old duke and Caviehir were in the room outside, and they couldn't get out for a while, so they could only walk in and have a look.
There are about dozens of steps going down, and the further down, the colder the air inside. With the shaking candlelight, the two crept up to the end of the steps. The dust from the footsteps made Xia want to sneeze, but she could only cover her mouth with her hands, and the poor turtle blushed. Tears welled up, and the poor bastard leaned beside him with some fear.
At the end of this secret path, there is no way out. At the end, the space is slightly larger. It is roughly the outline of a square room. Just according to the feeling of the two people walking down the road, the room at the end is probably the one who just came down. In places, the height should be at least three meters lower.
"It's like... a cellar?" Char looked at the poor man.
Adeline shook her head, blinked her eyes, and lowered her voice: "Don't look at me, I don't know where this is. I just borrowed this place from Minas to meet you, and I have never been here."
Xia Ya felt the terrifying cold air, even with such a strong body, he couldn't bear it, and the poor worm was shivering with cold.
"Damn, why is it so cold here?" Xia Ya frowned.
The two took a closer look in the room. There was nothing in this empty room. There were only cobwebs on the empty walls except for dust. Xia Ya touched the wall with his hand, and only then did his palm touch the wall, and then he immediately shrank back and said strangely, "This wall is so icy!"
The poor worm also tentatively reached out and touched it, and soon exclaimed and retracted his hand, rubbing his palm hard: "It's really cold."
Then the poor worm bent down and looked at the corner of the ground, his eyes suddenly lit up, he bent down and picked up a small object from the ground, with a smile on his face: "Ah, I know where this place is."
"what?"
The poor worm smiled and stretched out his palms in front of Xia Ya: "Look, this!"
In the palm of her slender palm, she was holding a small round wooden bar only the size of a thumb.
Xia Ya looked at it: "What?"
The poor man smiled and said, "This is oak. Most noble families use this kind of oak as wine corks. I think this place used to be an underground wine cellar. It's just been abandoned for many years, and the wine in it has been removed. empty."
After thinking for a while, the poor man narrowed his eyes and said: "Well, it's so cold here, it must be built on the ground of this manor, have you forgotten? This manor is built on the hillside, and it's just digging down, isn't it? Are you in the middle of the mountain?"
Seeing Xia Ya's dazed expression, Adeline sighed, knowing that this turtle came from a poor family and was not familiar with the luxury of these noble families, and explained: "Generally speaking, this kind of wine cellar will be built. In the cool underground, and in order to maintain the temperature, this kind of cellar is usually built as a mezzanine. I think, maybe on the other side of the outer wall of this cellar, there may be some underground ice cellar, which is specially used for storing ice. It is winter. Just now, there are a lot of ice cubes stored in the ice cellar, so we feel so cold here."
This explanation seems reasonable, but Xi Ya listened to it and kept silent. He had a strange feeling in his heart - he couldn't say why, but he just felt that there was an indescribable strangeness in his heart!
The poor creature relaxed, she held the candle and sighed: "We have to wait here, and we can go out when the people outside leave... Alas, I just hope that the old duke and Caviehir don't talk outside. It's been too long, and if I go back late, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble."
Xia Ya frowned, and suddenly remembered that he had overheard the conversation between the two just now, and couldn't help but have an idea in his heart: the two old guys seemed to be talking about the past, especially when they mentioned an old friend, as if there was quite a bit of it. There are some complicated grievances...
only…
"Hey, Xiaya." Just when the turtle was in a trance, the poor worm shouted, gently pulled his clothes, and said in a low voice, "What are you thinking?"
Xia Ya shook her head and said nothing. The poor worm said sternly: "What you just heard, you... don't talk nonsense! Although I don't know what they are talking about, but as the two of them, the things they are talking about must be some old age. The secret! If you rashly heard about it and leaked it out, I'm afraid it will cause trouble!"
Xia Ya waved his hand: "I naturally know this."
Adeline's tone was very serious: "Xia Ya, you have to know that your identity is different now, and the people and things you are in contact with are also very different from before! The circle you are in now is different from those in the past. These Things are more complicated and more dangerous, if you don't take one step well, you might get into trouble!"
Although Xia Ya was a little impatient, she also heard the concern in the poor worm's tone, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Okay, I'll just remember this. Don't you think I have a big mouth? What are you talking about?"
Adeline grinned: "You're not a big mouth, you're... a turtle!"
Xia Ya smiled, watching the poor man's smiling face under the flickering candlelight, he suddenly moved in his heart, and suddenly caught a thought!
"Ah!! I thought of it!"
Xia Ya jumped up suddenly, then grabbed the poor man's hand holding the candle, snatched the candle, and looked at the candle carefully, his face suddenly changed!
Seeing Xia Ya's sudden reaction, the poor man was stunned: "You... what are you doing?"
"Candlelight! Candlelight!!" Xia Ya's eyes flickered, looking at the candlelight and then at the poor man: "Don't you think this place is very strange?"
"What's so strange?"
Xia Ya's face became a little miserable, he hesitated for a while, looked at the poor man's face, and whispered: "You... I said, don't be afraid."
"?" The poor worm looked at Xiaya with puzzled eyes.
Xia Ya lowered her voice, and suddenly her body couldn't help shivering. She pointed to the ground: "Look around... don't you really see anything weird?"
"Eh?" Adeline saw a hint of shock in Xiaya's eyes, and she couldn't help but get a little nervous, and looked left and right in the room - is there nothing strange? A few empty walls, without any furnishings, only dust, cobwebs...
"Look again." Xia Ya's eyes flashed, and one hand had already held the hilt at his waist.
After all, the poor worm is not a fool. After a few careful glances, it finally changes color! ! Her face was instantly pale, and she screamed in fright, almost shrinking into Xia Ya's arms!
"Shadow, shadow!!"
Xia Ya laughed twice, how weird and weird her face was: "Did you finally find out?"
It turned out... In this room, the candle was clearly lit, but looking around, on the ground, on the walls... all...
There is no shadow! !
The two young people glanced at each other, this strange discovery made both of them feel a little nervous at the same time, as if an inexplicable cold air rushed down the back of their heads to the top of their heads! !
In addition to panic, Adeline shook her hand, and the candle fell to the ground and went out with a screeching sound. In the sudden darkness, Adeline exclaimed, and instinctively hugged Xia Ya's arm.
At this moment, Xiaya suddenly heard Dora's voice in her mind!
The mother dragon's tone seemed to be extremely solemn and serious: "Kid, be careful! This is a magic field! I feel very strong magic fluctuations!"
"What?" Xia blurted out.
Adeline in her arms screamed: "Char, what are you talking about? Who are you talking to?"
"This is the realm of 'absolute darkness'!!"
