Scroll held a large stack of documents on the third floor of the castle, and in front of the office met Nightingale who was yawning and preparing to leave.
"Aren't you asleep yet?" The latter stopped and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"I'm probably getting old, and I can't sleep lately." Scroll smiled and shook his head, "Where's Your Majesty, has he already fallen asleep?"
"Well, he went back to the bedroom half an hour ago."
"Then you are still in the office?" She covered her mouth and said, "Could it be that you were stealing His Majesty's snacks?"
"Uh...Ahaha," Nightingale was stunned for a moment, then coughed twice, "That's right, I ate his spicy shredded beef, and I stole two sips of Chaos Drink, don't tell your majesty."
This time, it was Scroll's turn to be stunned.
What's wrong with her... she came back so neatly. As long as the previous Nightingale was not caught on the spot, she would never admit it.
But when he thought that he and Wendy often took her drinks, Scroll would not know what to take for a while.
"Well, I'll go to bed first..." Nightingale turned her eyes away and walked towards the second floor, "Don't stay up too late. I heard from Roland that the older you get, the more serious the sequelae of lack of sleep will be." She leaned up at the bottom of the stairs. Start, "Good night."
"...Good night." Scroll replied inexplicably, turned and walked into the office.
Although the flames of the fireplace have been extinguished, the residual heat of the heating is still there, and there seems to be a faint fragrance left in the air. It seemed that Nightingale had been here for a long time.
Without further thinking, Scroll skillfully opened the bookcase, put the information in his hand into the classification and put it into the processing column, and then took out the information that His Majesty was waiting to answer.
It was a series of extremely long calculation formulas, and from the handwriting, there were both Roland's and Anna's and Celine's. One of her daily tasks is to bring these materials to the Arithmetic Academy, and let the group of astrologers calculate the answer, and then send it to the central carrier for verification.
From the text description alone, these things should be related to His Majesty's new experiment. It's just that she didn't understand at all why it was possible to determine the size of a device that no one had ever seen or even imagined just by doing calculations on paper. It seems that those on the paper are not numbers, but outline the reality, which, in her opinion, is no different from predicting the future.
Whenever she saw Anna Juanxiu's notes, Shu Scroll couldn't help sighing in her heart that this girl who was born in Border Town had reached a realm that they couldn't understand at all. Obviously, everyone was sitting in this office at first, watching the interesting science experiments conducted by His Majesty, and anyone could say a word or two. And now, the only one who can still follow His Majesty is Anna alone.
However, she did not feel any loss in her heart, only full of pride.
Because that's her sister.
Scroll sat at Roland's desk and opened the documents as usual, intending to memorize them all. This allows her to spot any omissions or omissions in the distribution calculations in a timely manner.
This time, however, she noticed something strange.
"Am I... dazzled?"
Scroll rubbed his eyes, and found a string of characters faintly fluttering behind some formulas, as if that were its answer.
If this is an examination paper, or a household registration file, it would not be surprising. Since she got the hang of quick lookup, she can often tell at first glance where a file came from and everything related to it.
The problem is that this document is the first time she has seen it.
Not only was the meaning scroll represented by the arithmetic expressions incomprehensible, but even the "answers" floating in the back were unclear, so it was difficult to understand.
And not every formula is followed by a similar quirky symbol, and most columns are still blank.
If you stare at those illusory symbols for a long time, you will even feel dizzy.
It seemed that Nightingale was right, staying up too much late really had an effect. Scroll sighed lightly, but he had been sleepy lately, as if his brain was always running at high speed.
Or let the medical hospital open some sleeping ferns tomorrow, she couldn't help thinking, this thing has little side effect on witches, and it should have no effect on taking it once or twice.
After reluctantly memorizing all the information, Shu Scroll suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness hit his heart, and even his consciousness became a little dazed. When she leaned forward involuntarily, the pen holder placed on the table was accidentally brought down by her.
It's just that this dizziness came and went quickly, and within a few short breaths, she felt that she was back to normal again, not to mention any discomfort, her thoughts seemed to be much clearer than before.
Scroll blinked, confirming that he was in no way, then bent down and picked up the pen holder with a wry smile.
It was at this moment that she felt like she was struck by lightning.
Because the look of the floor... has changed.
Her Majesty's office is a scene she will never forget. The floor is made of pine wood from the Hidden Forest and covered with a layer of wool carpet. Although the appearance is a little old, His Majesty has never replaced it. And now the carpet under my feet is still a wool carpet, but the floor in the distance has changed its texture.
From wood to stone.
how can that be
Scroll cautiously raised his head, his heart continued to sink.
Not only the floor, but the entire office seemed to have changed. The reclining chair that Nightingale used to sit on disappeared without a trace, replaced by a row of old iron filing cabinets, which at first glance looked a bit like the archives in the administrative hall. .
But she was clearly supposed to be in the castle before!
By the way, floor-to-ceiling windows!
That is His Majesty's favorite decoration, and it is also a feature of the office. As long as you look out, you can see the lit Neverwinter City under the night.
Scroll jerked back, pulling the velvet curtain behind him.
The only thing that caught my eye was a grey brick wall.
There is no doubt that this is not the office of His Majesty the King that she is familiar with.
She stood up in a panic, threw herself against the wall and knocked twice, the wall didn't move and you could hear it from the steady reverberation, obviously it wasn't an illusion, but a real entity.
Scroll felt a hint of despair.
Anyone who is suddenly transferred to a completely closed and unfamiliar place will feel a strong sense of helplessness and vulnerability.
No... She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Completely closed is not accurate, there is an inconspicuous iron door in the corner between the two rows of filing cabinets. It's almost the same color as the cabinet, and it's easy to overlook it if you don't look closely.
This seems to be the only exit from the room.
Where will the iron gate lead
Is it a trap or another wall waiting for her outside
Scroll couldn't help thinking about these questions, and slowly held the doorknob.
"click"
The iron door slammed open.
A ray of golden sunlight entered the room, and then the silence was broken, and countless sounds poured in along with the icy air. There were loud conversations, beeping whistles, and continuous footsteps. In front of her, countless people are hurrying with their heads lowered, and occasionally some people will glance at her with a little surprise on their faces.
And after this group of people, giant high-rise buildings like mountains rose and fell one after another, occupying the entire field of vision of the scroll.
