The Whispering Verses

Chapter 145: Exploration log

Views:

After confirming that he had really just returned to the hidden space in the basement, Shad chanted the spell again and touched the base of the statue, returning to the white fog. This place was so similar to the white fog area after passing through the gate of time.

"Since stepping in the 'time corridor' can directly enter the past, what will happen if I step randomly in the so-called 'space maze' instead of taking the path with signposts in front of me... will I step into the chaotic space flow and be torn apart?"

Xia De didn't have the courage to do so. He thought for a moment and summoned his brass life ring. Immediately, the skin of his body began to crack inch by inch, and golden light traces shone under the cracks. The area named "Time Corridor" opened by the time key also had this phenomenon.

"Sure enough, the effect of the divine afterglow can also be seen here."

Suddenly he raised his head, and the divine light seemed to awaken something in the thick fog. The white fog was flowing around him, and he heard whispers coming from afar. He tried to listen carefully, but he could only make out that it was countless people praying.

I walked quickly to the signpost, ready to leave at any time, but all I heard was a whisper in my ear:

The figure of the original rift watches you.

Offering a piece of "white stone crystal" or a drop of divinity can connect to another spatial signpost in a specified direction.

"Sure enough, the power of the fallen ancient gods is almost everywhere, but their divinity cannot be taken away."

Standing in the white mist, Xia De immediately shook his head. Although he wanted to know the secret, divinity was more important.

He had never heard of something called "white stone crystal" that looked like a mineral, and it wasn't in the textbook he got.

The problem now is not the way to start the transmission, but the white fog area that I am currently sitting in. There is no way this fog is unrelated to the white fog after the time key is turned on.

“Can you sense any other information?”

That’s all for now.

A woman's voice whispered in his ear. Xia De looked up at the strange white fog that was impossible to penetrate:

"Since the Ancient God of Time, the Father of the Infinite Tree, has the 'Time Corridor', and the Ancient God of Space, the Original Rift, has the 'Space Labyrinth', do other fallen Ancient Gods also have such spaces? For example, the Ancient God of Balance, the 'Hanging Judge' mentioned by Miss Anat, does he also have... ... what is the meaning of the existence of such a space?"

He didn't get any answers, and he had to find the answers to these secrets himself.

The space containing the two-headed statue of the ancient god was definitely not formed naturally, but the builders had no way of knowing that.

It is impossible to verify who was the last person to enter the hidden space in the basement and touch the statue of the ancient god. Without the "divine afterglow" state and the special "other self", it is impossible to obtain the information that Shade knows, so he does not have to worry about other people knowing the secrets here.

With great doubts, Shade left the "space maze" in the white fog and returned to the circular space where the statue was. He became more and more confused about the secrets of this world.

His eyes scanned the debris around the circular space, thought for a moment, squatted down and carefully sorted the pile of things. Unfortunately, even though there was a statue of the ancient god of space erected here, the power of time destroyed everything, and most of these items that were definitely a hundred years old had rusted and rotted.

The piled-up books had become completely rubbish, and the metal tools of unknown use had rusted away. When Shade sorted these things out, the only useful item he found was a rolled-up parchment.

This piece of parchment seemed to be completely unaffected by time. Xia De repeatedly confirmed that it was not a relic but an ordinary item before unfolding it. The parchment was intact, but the ink on it was very faint. I guess the paper was special, but the ink was ordinary stuff.

It took Xia De some effort to read the three lines of text clearly. His "textual understanding" allowed him to understand the meaning on his own:

The 12th survey log in the year 1520 of the Common Calendar.

The statue of the ancient god 'Original Rift' has been confirmed to be found. The statue is suspected to be linked to the entrance of the "Space Maze", but the method of opening it is not yet known.

The location of the "delivery room" left by the ancient gods needs further confirmation. Please reply as soon as possible.

There is no signature, and the person who wrote these words did not leave any identity information. But judging from the date of 1520, this is a relic from three hundred years ago. And three hundred years ago, this house in Saint Teresa Square did not seem to have been built yet.

He murmured to himself:

"Did something unexpected happen? How could such information be left here and not taken away... Delivery room? Have I heard of this place?"

Xia De's memory was still good. On the night when the two professors "visited" his home, he read a lot of information from the letter of "Dwarf Mouse" Peter. Among them, it was mentioned that the Blood Spirit School, another powerful illegal organization that had originally agreed to help Mercury Blood, was busy with "delivery room" affairs in the New World, so the support given to Silver Eyed was limited.

"interesting."

Shade rolled up the parchment and put it aside:

"It's not that everyone doesn't know the secret of the special space left by the ancient gods. Since the ancient organization knows it, do the Church of the True Gods and the three major thaumaturgy schools also know it?"

But even if he knew about the "delivery room", a special place that was suspected to be equivalent to the "time corridor" and the "space maze", Shade could do nothing about it. The clues about the "delivery room" were now in the New World, and he couldn't get there at all, and there was no need to care about such things.

In addition to the rotten books and metal objects, after carefully searching the "garbage", I actually found about ten glass reagent bottles under some brown rags. The reagent bottles were old-fashioned, and each had the same logo on the bottom.

The main body of the logo is an equilateral triangle with three corners connected to a small circle, and inside the triangle is a person with wings.

"What is this sign?"

Even though I don’t understand it, I’ll still write it down first. Someone will definitely understand it.

Most of the bottles contained potions of various colors, but even magic potions have an expiration date. It looked like the potions were probably three hundred years old, so they were definitely not drinkable.

He did not take these strange potions and the parchment away, but left them here to prevent them from being destroyed by the curious cat when he was not at home one day.

After checking these miscellaneous items, he left the basement with the kerosene lamp, announcing that tonight's "exploration" activity had come to a temporary end.

As for the hidden space with the statue of the ancient god "Original Crack", Shade could do nothing before obtaining the "White Stone Crystal". But the space behind the hidden wall is valuable. Since even the church cannot find it, it is a very good place to hide items.

Although Xia De didn't have anything to hide, there would definitely be a chance to use it in the future.

Thinking of this, he stopped and turned his head to look at the wall:

"Come to think of it, wouldn't the people three hundred years ago have had the same idea and put those things here, and then never came back... Hiss~ Isn't it a bit unlucky..."
