Savage cave, mirror world.
At the top of the cloud tower, there is a locked room.
In the room, the windows were tightly closed, making the already dark space appear even deeper.
The only light source in the entire room is the crystal ball embedded in the floor in the center of the room. It emits a faint blue light from time to time, adding a cold light to the silence.
Under the cold blue light that sometimes flickers on and off, you can vaguely see Rhine sitting next to the crystal ball with his eyes closed.
This quiet air has been maintained for several days. Until now, under the closed eyelids, the pupils began to move. About five minutes later, Rhine finally opened his eyes.
"Huh..."
Rhine let out a long breath, and the silent space became alive because of this breath. On the walls, in front of the long table, and in the fireplace, all the candlesticks and fires that had been extinguished were rekindled brightly.
After the light dispelled the darkness, Rhine looked at the crystal ball in front of him.
The crystal ball still flashed a faint blue light rhythmically. When the blue light flashed, Rhine stretched out his index finger and lightly tapped the smooth surface of the ice glass.
A faint blue stream of information drilled out of the crystal ball and entered Rhine's index finger.
"Five days have passed, let me see if there is any problem at the Xingchi ruins." Rhine whispered to himself: "Except the tree spirit sent a magic flying message and was stopped outside the tower, no one else was there. Send a message."
In fact, Rhine mainly looked at whether there was any news from Granny Tiejia, because she was in charge of the Xingchi Ruins for the time being. Since there was no information, it meant that there should be no major problems with the Xingchi Ruins.
As for the news about the tree spirit... I didn't wake him up from the retreat directly, but sent a magic flying message, obviously it's not an important matter, and I can deal with it later.
Rhine stood up, walked to a metal utensil in the shape of a silver morning glory, and moved several arcs of light in the energy horizon. With the tremor of the arc, the morning glory immediately began to run.
This arc of light is the energy-level information interaction developed by the road of absorbing the magic. Rhine activates it, and naturally intends to pass some messages to certain people.
After doing all this, Rhine sat back in front of the crystal ball again, and inadvertently glanced at the single-sided glasses placed next to the crystal ball.
Looking at these glasses, Rhine unconsciously sighed softly.
The reason why he suddenly retreated these days is because of this pair of glasses. During the retreat, Rhine settled his impetuous mind, thinking about the Savage Cave, the Wilderness of Dreams, and Angel's future.
Of course, all futures are centered on Angel.
After thinking about it for the past few days, Rhine has roughly set a tone. Before, the news he spread through the road of absorbing demons was also to pave the way for this tone and release some news in advance.
When the foreshadowing is almost done, all the core members will be invited for a meeting, and the future policy will be officially announced.
When he thought of the future that had been developing peacefully and suddenly had to go in another direction, Rhine was actually quite emotional. But he is also very clear that only "change" can bring the barbaric cave to a higher level. What's more, the great change this time, with the wilderness of dreams, will definitely not develop in a worse direction, so as the leader of the barbaric cave, he must do this.
"Anger..." Rhine pondered for a moment, whispering Angel's name, and the emotion in his voice was full of emotion.
Rhine thought that the Savage Cave would shine in his hands like no previous leader, but he did not expect that the light of glory should be on Angor, who had only joined the Savage Cave for a few years. How can this make him not emotional
Rhine himself has studied and practiced prophecy, but even so, he does not actually think that there is a destiny in the world. Otherwise, when he chose the prophecy school, he would not have abandoned the long river of fate and chose not to speak God. .
But at this moment, Angel's figure appeared in his mind. For the first time, he felt so deeply that maybe there was indeed a family of destiny. Otherwise, why did Angel join the Savage Cave so coincidentally and grow to such a height in such a short period of time, and it just happened to fulfill Rhine's long-cherished wish for many years.
To be honest, at the level of Rhine, he has very few emotional fluctuations, but because of Angel's appearance, his emotions also began to fluctuate greatly.
There is both emotion and envy... even a little jealous.
It's just that this kind of jealousy is only for a moment, and it was quickly thrown out of Rhine's mind, because he knew very well that the future development and the existence of Angel were the core.
Not only can he not be jealous, but he also needs to try his best to eliminate the threat around Angel.
At present, the biggest threat to Angel is Germination.
Rhine's eyes flickered for a while, his eyes seemed to care.
Time passed, and it had been almost an hour since Rhine woke up, and his thoughts were almost sorted. Rhine reached out to the unilateral glasses, ready to go in to see if Granny Tiejia was there, and talk to him about the future development.
However, Rhine quickly withdrew his hand.
"Forget it, let's go and see the flying news from the tree spirit first. Just in time, let the tree spirit arrange some people to enter the wilderness of dreams to assist the construction of the new city." Rhine thought about this, came to the window, and opened the closed door. multi-day windows.
After the window was opened, a pure white pigeon that had been hovering on the road of the demon slowly descended and landed on the window sill.
Rhine touched the dove lightly, and it immediately emitted a white light, emitting a large number of illusory white feathers.
At the same time, the figure of the tree spirit appeared in the white light.
"Angol has cracked the broken magic pattern, and he and I are preparing to explore the hidden room."
The first sentence of the Dryad Flying News made Rhine startled.
Although he is not very gossip about secret exploration like the tree spirit, but the ruins where Angel is located and the ruins of Xingchi were obviously built by the same person, and Rhine is also very concerned about the situation of the hidden room, hoping to find some useful information.
"However, judging from the current situation, the hidden room is very dangerous, there is Nightmare Light in it, and my clone can't withstand the erosion of Nightmare Light... If you forget the Nightmare Light, call Reeves out , let him explain it to you again."
"Until now, we haven't found a way to crack the Nightmare Light.
"After you receive the information, you'd better come over."
…
On the other side, hidden inside the room.
When the dryad saw the desk next to the workbench, his eyes flashed with joy: "There are a lot of vellum and scrolls, and there may be information about the hidden room and the Nightmare Light on it!"
Looking at the vellum paper randomly placed on the table, Angel was also a little excited.
The most important thing in the wizarding world is knowledge.
There is so much vellum here, as well as the processed pulp paper, which definitely records a lot of information. Even if only some experimental data are recorded, this is a rare amount of knowledge. Compared with the star iron that I was looking for before, the value is definitely higher!
With joy, Angel controlled the field to slowly move towards the desk.
Perhaps the Nightmare Light is already the biggest threat, and there is no need to engage in other institutions. Therefore, there was no danger on the way.
As the field approaches, more pictures are revealed.
In front of them, not only was there a desk piled up with a lot of vellum, but also about three meters in front of the desk, there was a "concave" shaped metal table.
That's... a shelf analyzer!
The object analysis table is a special auxiliary identification tool, which contains a large number of elements that can be connected with the identified object, and is a deep extension of the Eye of Narda. Basically, every alchemist will have one.
The previous owner of this relic, Tizallo, was suspicious of whether the relic had a hidden room because of the lack of an analysis table in the laboratory on the third basement floor.
Now it has indeed proved Tizallo's suspicion, and the storage analysis table is indeed in a hidden room.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that there are obviously a few dark shadows on this storage analysis table, which seem to be things left by the previous owner and not taken away.
Angel took a careful look and confirmed that it was not a material, but some kind of prop.
"You can go and have a look later." Angel didn't go to the object analysis table immediately, but sat on the vine chair made by the tree spirit, picked up the vellum paper on the table and looked at it.
This is a piece of vellum that was clearly undercut and intended for sewing.
It just seemed that something happened in the end, the vellum was not sewn and bound, and it was just scattered on the table.
Angel glanced at it and frowned.
It's not because of the shocking content recorded on the vellum, but simply because there are too many symbols that Angel does not know on this vellum, and the formulas formed by these symbols. Their arrangement was messy, and it seemed that when the recorder was recording, they got into some kind of deadlock, leaving a large black mass that was scratched up.
As for the symbols that Angel knew, the arrangement at this time also made him unable to understand.
The only certainty is that this seems to be the record of some alchemical experiment.
Since he couldn't understand it, Angel simply put it aside and took another piece of paper. However, similar to the previous one, messy formulas, complicated symbols…
Angel turned over several sheets of paper on the desktop, all of which were the same, basically in a state of incomprehension.
Not without gain though.
These blueprints on the brightest surface represent that the owner of the ruins was doing some difficult alchemy experiment before he left.
It is impossible to infer what the specific experiment is.
Since there was no useful information from the vellum, Angel turned his attention to the pulp and paper books stacked aside. These specially made pulp and paper books are neatly arranged and bound beautifully, so it is unlikely that they are messy experimental records.
"You can look at this stack."
When Angel was choosing which book to read, the dryad sitting on the other side of the desk suddenly pointed to a stack of pulp and paper books beside him.
"I just flipped through these, and found that they are all related to alchemy, and they should be useful to you." The tree spirit turned over this pile at the beginning, and gave up after finding out that it was related to alchemy. He doesn't know how to alchemy, so it's useless to look at it.
Angel nodded. The three things he wanted to know most at the moment were things related to the hidden room, the light of nightmares, and the builder of the ruins.
It has now been determined that the builder of the ruins is an alchemist. From the alchemy books here, you may be able to get some information about him.
Angel took a book at random, and when he was about to open it, he found that the tree spirit opposite was reading a book with a green shell at this time, his eyes did not blink, and he seemed to be fascinated.
One of Crowley's Chronicles.
This is the name on the cover of the book, it looks like an autobiography, or a diary
When Angel was pondering, the tree spirit seemed to notice his straight eyes, and explained with a smile: "This is a random note with a clear date mark, I guess it was recorded by the owner of this hidden room. "
As the dryad spoke, he showed the internal test of the book page. Angel could clearly see that the date was marked in the upper right corner of the page: the new calendar year 5298.
About two thousand years from now.
It is very in tune with the age of the old equipment in the laboratory.
If nothing else, this alchemist named Crowley might really be the creator of the ruins.
"Have you found anything?" Angel asked.
The tree spirit shook his head: "Not yet, the records are all very trivial things, and the protagonist of many stories is not Cullo, but a man named Bellos. From some details, it seems that this Cullo I really hope to bully Bellos, and I don't know what the relationship between these two is."
Since the Dryad was already reading "One of Chlory's Notes", Angel didn't go to get the relevant diary, but looked at the pulp paper book in his hand.
Opening the title page, Angel saw a row of very elegant swash characters: Culori.
After seeing this name, Angel basically confirmed that Crowley should be the original owner of the ruins.
The title page only has a name and does not record any other information. If Angel wants to know the specific content, he needs to scroll down.
When Angel turned to the second page and read the above records, he was suddenly stunned.
This is indeed related to alchemy, but it is completely different from what Angel imagined. This book is not a book related to a certain alchemy genre, nor is it an alchemy record, but a... hand-painted illustration book.
The hand-painted illustration on the first page is an elegant round mirror with golden olive pattern that looks aristocratic.
With a few simple strokes, Crowley outlines its essence, which looks like a vanity mirror with a handle that a lady would use.
At the bottom of the illustrated book, Crowley used that elegant font to record the information related to this vanity mirror.
The name of this vanity mirror is: The Voice of Forgetting
Below the name, it reads: Hoopa Coefficient: 2
Further down, it is recorded that the voice of oblivion is currently held by a broken heart witch.
Next, there is the effect of the Voice of Forgetting: by repeating a certain name to this thing, you will completely forget everything about it at the root. Also works on items.
Finally, Crowley added a little personal opinion, or remarks.
"If a person repeats his name over and over, slowly, you will feel that your name becomes very unfamiliar."
