I have a shelter

"Mi~degree~"

There was a soft sound in the darkness, the candle was gently lit, and the faint light extended to the rotating stone stairs, illuminating the surroundings.

Lorna once again pricked up her ears and listened to the sounds above, then took a gentle breath, put down her slightly nervous mood, and continued walking downward while holding on to the wall.

The stone stairs are very steep, and sometimes there are gaps that are easy to step on, and people can fall down if they are not careful. Anthony complained about this to George some time ago, and wanted the servants who were busy building the Hall of Valor to come over and repair it. George agreed wholeheartedly, but obviously didn't take this matter to heart.

This incident made Lorna secretly laugh for a long time, because she really couldn't understand how Anthony missed the mark when those places were so clear.

Maybe I was thinking too hard.

After a long time, the surrounding environment finally became more and more spacious. Lorna jumped over the last stone step with some excitement, and the weak candle that had been flickering was suddenly extinguished.

Without the light, Lorna became a little panicked. She looked at the kerosene lamps on both sides of the door, hesitated for a moment, and did not choose to light them. Instead, he stretched out his finger and lit the candle again.

The renewed firelight gave color to the door in front of her, and Lorna's nervous heartbeat gradually returned to calm. Then, she put her little face in front of the door, bit her nails and observed.

On the stone door, there are many secret texts carved on it. They are interspersed with the complex geometric patterns, vaguely revealing a sense of mystery. The rings in the center of the stone door are slowly rotating - seemingly irregular.

Teacher Anthony is really amazing. He cleverly uses the trajectory of the stars to make the seal of this gate automatically change every short period of time. And as long as you add a cipher text that only you know, the secret lock on it will become irregular when changing trajectories, making it impossible for people to crack.

Even if the energy connection node between the alchemical furnace and the gate was destroyed, the ring stopped rotating. It cannot be opened at once.

Destroying the cipher text is tantamount to completely sealing the lock. At that time, the ignorant fool can only choose to use a hammer to slowly break open the heavy stone door.

Of course, things are never absolute. In certain situations that are beyond the understanding of scholars and even beyond the common sense of this world, the door will also open.

After a long time, a hint of cunning flashed in Lorna's eyes.

Teacher Anthony seems to have not discovered that ‘little trick’ yet

She stretched out her long index finger and pressed it in front of the 'mouths' of the tadpoles. Then, as if they were wandering in the water, they followed the bait and switched positions on the stone door.

The timing is just right. After several rings complete a rotation cycle, the structure originally used to change the magic lock is unlocked. Amidst the clicking sounds, the thick stone door slowly opened in front of Lorna.

When she took a step forward, the stone door closed again. But it doesn't matter, after a while, it will turn on again.

The basement is always so warm in winter. After adding the magic node, the energy of the furnace is delivered through the air. Let the temperature and humidity here be in a suitable range.

Currently, there is only this location in the entire castle that enjoys such preferential treatment. Stingy George was not willing to renovate other places like this.

This basement was originally a cell in the castle. The interior was damp, dark, and covered with moss. Although it has been cleaned now, the walls are no longer filled with torture instruments. But every time she came in, Lorna would feel a little scared.

The candlelight only illuminated a small area around her. Beyond that, there were several large alchemy tables. It was filled with many crystal utensils and tall glass bottles. And in those large glass bottles, there were many organs and limbs floating.

There are even monster fetuses.

As if sensing the popularity, these things began to sway in the dim candlelight. Rona, who was passing by, couldn't help but swallow her throat.

When passing by a certain experimental table, Lorna glanced over there cautiously. I remember the last time, there was a strong human body with its brain taken out. The human body only had one upper body, which was covered with tiny mushrooms, swaying like parasites. On its body, the thick arm had been cut off and thrown casually on the table. Another small deformity is still attached to the body.

When they were walking by, that little hand grabbed the corner of her clothes. When Lorna turned her head, it looked at her with her only eyeball and looked at Lorna and smiled stupidly. son.

This incident gave Lorna nightmares for several days - its smile was just too familiar.

It seemed that the big thing and the bottles of red potion beside it had been taken away. This experimental table seems to be acting as a hospital bed today - on the experimental table, there is a person covered by a white cloth. Judging from the outline, she seems to be a woman

The white cloth was stained with blood, and the scalpels and other things placed around were scattered there in a mess. Obviously, the operation was not completed, so the working scholars covered it with a white cloth. Looks like a medical accident that was hastily ended

But no matter what, this thing should not move - Lorna stretched out her finger and poked her leg, sighing in relief.

She glanced twice at the face covered by the white cloth. Although she didn't lift it to confirm, Lorna had a feeling - she was not from the shelter.

There were several strange noises coming from the cell not far away. Lorna played over there and saw a few pairs of shining eyes in black and white. They were all captured by Martin some time ago, and now their nerves have either been cut off or injected with medicine. Even if there is no iron door, they can't climb out.

After going around here, Lorna stopped in front of Anthony's desk. She put the candle in her hand on the table. He poked the dead spider on the table with its belly turned over, and played with a few ancient gold coins on the table for a while.

These gold coins were all brought back by George from Yongfeng City. But Lorna always felt that they were exactly the same as the ones that George often played with. She mentioned this to the teacher, but Anthony laughed it off - they were indeed the same thing, after all, they were all produced in the same era.

But Lorna was very sure about this. Although the ones on the table looked smooth and shiny, the ones in George's hand had many spots.

After putting down her thoughts, Lorna flipped through the book next to the gold coin.

The book had been re-bound and sealed on the table with a metal seal. After being placed under a spell by Anthony, it could not be opened or taken away.

But it seems to be able to unlock the book and turn the pages on its own. And he kept shouting his name.

The first time Lorna came here was because of those sounds.

Indeed, they do not belong to one person, but to a group.

They told themselves many interesting things, including a guy named 'Morpheus' who always called him his daughter and wanted to help him do bad things.

Lorna didn't believe these liars at all.

Although the things they talk about are a little more powerful than that great fool's deception. But they are not as good as their teacher - the teacher has explained to himself (precautions) about the deceptive tricks of the devil a long time ago.

Including theology.

She would just talk to them when she was extremely bored. And look at the interesting look they show when they hear the truth they tell.

"It's simply arrogant and ignorant! That cunning reptile is deceiving you!!" "This so-called 'refutation' does have a solution! I can't demonstrate it to you, just because the answer is in another dimension!"

"What you said is the same as what the teacher said at the beginning. It turns out you are all liars!"

Lorna laughed slyly at the roar and opened the book. Then, the voices fell silent.

The only thing I can ask myself about now is the jigsaw puzzle

However, what it said was still too exaggerated, so she would still adopt the teacher's strategy of not listening.

As long as she doesn't want to listen, she can ignore any voice that comes from deep inside her heart - she has learned this since she was very young.

The pages of the book were gradually turned, and those strange fonts shone brightly, slowly flying out of the pages, combining into paragraphs of text that were completely different from those in the book.

She widened her interested eyes and tightened them one by one in her mind.

These things are far more interesting than those stories, and far more interesting than those romance novels.

And this book has become her favorite book besides "The Story Ice and Snow Will Not Tell You".

The candle suddenly went out in a gust of wind. The scenery in front of me became black and white again. Lorna panicked and tried to light the candle, but failed to light it several times.

Suddenly, there was a sound of running behind her, and Lorna suddenly turned her head, but she didn't see a single figure.

Everything was quietly placed in place, except for the corpse on the experimental table, and the blood-stained white cloth was thrown to the ground at an unknown time.

Bursts of laughter came from all around, and in the peripheral vision, something was crawling on the wall. Lorna's pale face suddenly looked over there, but wherever her eyes went, there was nothing.

Suddenly, a picture flashed in Lorna's mind. She turned her head suddenly and saw a pale, rotten face hanging upside down from the ceiling.

It has already rushed over with a ferocious smile
