Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 1922 The Mystery of Armor
"Let's talk about it in the ruins first." Rhine looked at the open door of the ruins: "Speaking of which, I haven't been to this ruins for a long time."

Angel is currently considered the temporary owner of this ruin, so he will walk in front as the guide.

After entering the ruins, there is a deep corridor covered in darkness.

Angel signaled everyone to follow him.

During this process, Sanders noticed that there were candlesticks on the wall, but Angel did not light them up.

Why is it not lit?Although everyone present has the ability of night vision, from the perspective of etiquette, Angel should also light the candlestick.After all, the current owner of the barbaric cave and one of the three ancestor spirits are here.

While Sanders was thinking in silence, the tree spirit on the side suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I don't understand why the builder of this ruin designed it like this. There are candlesticks here, but they cannot be lit, otherwise it will enter an infinite loop mechanism, it would be better not to design a candlestick, it would be unnecessary."

"Since it is a mechanism, it is natural to lure intruders to trigger the mechanism." Angel: "Design the candlestick, the intruder will subconsciously light it up, and this will trigger the mechanism."

The tree spirit shook his head: "If you live here, you should have noticed it too. Not only can't light the candlesticks in this corridor, even a little light is not allowed to exist, otherwise it will enter a cycle. In this case, instead of placing candlesticks, It is easier to confuse intruders. If you put a candlestick, it may be counterproductive."

Angel thought about it, and felt that the tree spirit was right.What he meant was that there is no 300 taels of silver here, and if you set up candlesticks on purpose, people might find out.

Tree Spirit: "Besides, if you want to lure intruders to trigger the mechanism, then this mechanism will definitely be extremely dangerous, and you may even die if you touch it. But even if the mechanism in this corridor is triggered, it will only enter an infinite loop. Walking out of the ruins through the gate is not in line with the principle of seduction."

Angel also thought about this question, but he didn't think it through at the time, and now that the tree spirit said that, he didn't know how to answer it.

On the contrary, Rhine said: "Actually, there is no need to think about these problems. After all, this is just a relic that drifted ashore from the void. Maybe the original design of this corridor will cause the trigger mechanism to die? It's just because of some external factors. The threat of this institution has been slowly worn away with the passage of time."

Rhine's guess is also reasonable.Whether this is true, however, is hard to say.

But since Rhine told them not to think about these trivial matters, Angel naturally shut up. Although the tree spirit was still rambling, but no one responded, he also slowly stopped.

Sanders listened to the conversation between Angor and the tree spirit, and understood why Angor did not light the lamp.During their conversation, Sanders actually felt that this corridor was a bit weird, but as Rhine said, this is actually just a trivial matter, and there is no need to think about it.So, Sanders also put this weirdness behind him.

In the darkness, the four of them walked forward quietly.Because the tree spirit was just a clone of a spirit body, only the footsteps of three people echoed in the silent space.

"In the dark corridor, you don't speak, you only hear footsteps, don't you feel intrusive?" The tree spirit broke the silence again after resting for a while.

However, this nonsensical topic did not get anyone's response.

However, what the tree spirit said reminded Angel involuntarily of when he first came here.

It was also in this deep corridor at the time, because it was trapped in an infinite loop, and perhaps the atmosphere was a little depressing, Angel heard a lot of chaotic footsteps.

Angel thought it was nothing at the time, but looking back now, it was really weird.

"I always wonder if there is some secret hidden in this corridor?" The tree spirit was still muttering, "Tizallo said that there is a hidden room in this ruin, could it be hidden in this corridor?"

The topic of the tree spirit caught Angel's attention. When he was thinking about this possibility, Rhine said angrily: "You said this sentence last time when this relic was sealed up, and now you say it again?"

"Didn't we not find the hidden room at that time?" The tree spirit pouted in Angor's direction with his mouth: "Angel may have discovered something, after all, the first owner of this ruin was the same as Angor. They're all alchemists."

"I said this to give Angel a hint."

After the tree spirit finished speaking, he looked at Angel with a smile: "You have been living here all this time, have you found the information about the hidden room?"

Sanders and Rhine also looked at Angel.

Angel shook his head: "There is no information."

"But..." Angel stopped suddenly, his expression lost in thought.

"But what?" The tree spirit's eyes lit up. He was actually very curious about this hidden room, which is why he suggested to Angel to choose this ruin as a place to live temporarily.

Under the curious eyes of everyone, Angel slowly said: "However, I think it may have something to do with the broken magic lines on the knight's armor? It's a pity that those broken magic lines are too broken, and it is very difficult to repair them." .”

"Knight armor?" The tree spirit showed doubts: "What are you talking about? What knight armor?"

Angel pointed to the place where he was currently staying: "The knight's armor here was deliberately placed in a human shape. When I got here, I thought someone had entered the ruins in advance. In the end, it was just an empty shell of armor .”

Angel said while looking back, but found that the expression of the tree spirit was still confused, and even Rhine looked at him with doubtful eyes.

Angel also noticed something was wrong at this time, the tree spirit and Rhine didn't seem to know about the knight armor?
"The knight armor you are talking about is the knight armor you asked me about before?" Sanders broke the silence. Although he had never been to this ruin, Angel had asked him about the knight armor before. So he also knows some inside information.

Angor nodded.

"You said there was a pair of knight armor here before?" Rhine frowned: "But I remember that when we sealed up this relic, there was nothing here."

The tree spirit also nodded: "Yes, there is nothing. Can you tell me in detail what is going on with the knight armor?"

Angel was also confused now, the knight armor didn't exist before?
He had talked with the tree spirit about the hidden room before, but Angel forgot to mention the knight armor at the time... Thinking about it now, did he really forget, or did some force interfere with him?

Angel shook his head in his heart, denying being disturbed.If it was really disturbed, he later told Sanders why the knight armor was normal.

"Angel?" Seeing that Angel had been silent for a long time, the tree spirit couldn't help calling out again.

Under the call of the tree spirit, Angel came back to his senses. He thought about his choice of words and told the story of discovering the knight's armor before.

After listening to Angel's words, the tree spirit and Rhine glanced at each other.

Judging from Angel's words alone, it is indeed a bit weird.It was the tree spirit and Rhine who came to seal up the ruins at the beginning, and they are clear about all the furnishings inside.

There is absolutely nothing in the hallways.

But now Angel said that there was an empty knight's armor placed in the shape of a human and blocked in the corridor?

What happened here?
"Where is that knight armor now?" the tree spirit asked.

"At that time, I wanted to study the broken magic pattern on the armor, so I took the armor away from here and put it in the study." Angel stepped forward again: "I will take you there to have a look."

Angel didn't think the knight's armor was weird before, but now after listening to the words of the tree spirit and Rhine, he suddenly felt a creepy feeling.

What secrets are hidden in this knight armor?
……

After coming to the study, Rhine, Tree Spirit, and Sanders all saw the knight armor put aside by Angel.

Instead of being placed in a human form, they were "dismembered" and randomly placed on the table.

"Your Excellency Rhine, is there anything wrong with this armor?" Angel asked.

Rhine pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "This armor is very ordinary. From the perspective of material and effect, there is nothing to say. The only thing I don't understand is the broken magic pattern on it."

For the broken magic pattern, not only Rhine didn't understand it, but Angel also didn't crack it.

"The more normal this knight's armor looks, the more weird it seems to me." The tree spirit also said at this time, he thought he would find some secrets on the knight's armor, but this knight's armor is more ordinary than he imagined.If it weren't for some broken magic lines on it, the tree spirit wouldn't even think it was something extraordinary.

"The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong, but I can't say it's strange." The tree spirit shook his head: "Forget it, I don't think about anything else. At least one thing must be confirmed first. Where did this knight armor come from?"

The tree spirit frowned and murmured in a low voice: "Could it be that Tizarro is right, there is really a hidden room in this ruin. This knight armor came out of the hidden room?"

"Or, during the hundreds of years when the ruins were sealed, did someone come to this ruins?"
