Reborn Ancient Western Europe

"Angel?!"

Gray didn't know what happened, but in an instant, those colorful lights all disappeared, and the entire underground cave was plunged into darkness.

"Don't worry, it's just that the water of the River of Tears is about to change direction. This happens every two hours." A voice sounded like Gray explained.

The voice was not Angel, but Gray thought he was familiar with this person.

"Angus?" he asked tentatively.

"It's me, I'm glad you can hear my voice." He said, Gray heard footsteps slowly approaching, and when he was approaching him, the footsteps stopped "Angel, give me the key to the lock .”

Angel seemed to be complaining in a low voice, but Gray didn't hear clearly.After the sound of metal clashing subsided, he felt someone sitting next to him, and then carefully touched his cheek.

"Is your body okay?" He asked, groping to untie the silk scarf bow on Gray's wrist.His fingers were cold and landed on the skin of Gray's wrist, making him flinch unconsciously.

"I'm fine." Gray replied uncomfortably.He felt that Angus's overall aura had obviously changed a lot compared to before, which made him feel nervous unconsciously.In order to hide his nervousness, he asked, "Do you know Angel?"

"Of course we know each other, although I don't want to admit it." Angel's voice sounded nearby, "Okay, okay, I leave the gift for you to unwrap slowly, and I'll go first."

Angus smiled lowly, and continued to untie the silk scarf slowly.It was just the simplest slipknot, but it took him several minutes to untie it.

Gray moved his wrist, and Angel was tied loosely, which did not affect the blood flow.

"How long will it take for this place to light up again?" Gray asked, raising his voice slightly as the backflowing river began to rattle.

"In a few minutes, it won't be long." Angus said, "Don't worry, we will reach the downstream soon after the river changes direction, and Jon won't come back so early."

Gray froze for a moment and asked, "Do you know Jon?"

Angus smiled: "We may have known each other for longer than you thought, but to be honest, I really didn't expect that you are the young master who is guarded by the Tislandi family. You may I don’t remember, we met when you were young.”

Gray didn't make a sound. What he said was that he came to this world. What he saw at that time was the real Gray, not him, a fake.

Angus realized that he didn't want to continue this topic, so he didn't continue talking.

At this time, the sound of the river flowing backwards has gradually weakened.A faint light came from the far mouth of the cave, and then that light, as if it had been refracted and passed on the cave wall thousands of times, gradually filled the entire underground cave.Contrary to the rapidity when the light disappeared, when it came back, it was as soft as a serenade played on the strings of a violin.Little by little, one cave after another, it is as incredible as when the flowers bloom.

Gray unconsciously held his breath, and when the light passed to his side, he couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

Angus looked at the expression on his face and smiled slightly.When Gray finally came to his senses, he stood up, stretched out his hand to Gray, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Gray hesitated for a moment, but still held his hand and followed behind him.

They walked between stalactites and caves of different sizes, and it was at this time that Gray realized that this underground labyrinth was absolutely impossible to be artificially built.This project is really too huge. No country can build such a magnificent underground building. Only the uncanny workmanship of nature can create such a miracle.

The size of these caves varies greatly. The large ones can be compared to half a football field, while the small ones require bending over to pass through.Some of these caves are connected, while others are independent.The water of the underground river meanders and flows between these caves, corroding ravines underground.

Walking in the underground cave is very strenuous, and soon, Gray began to breathe.

Angus slowed down, turned around and said, "When I was in Demos, I noticed that you don't seem to be in good health?"

"I'm fine." Just after Gray finished saying this, he couldn't help but started coughing violently, so that he couldn't even catch his breath.

Angus looked at him worriedly: "You don't look like you're okay."

Gray looked up at him, but said nothing.He covered his mouth to suppress his cough, and because of the lack of oxygen, a rosy flush appeared on his face, which was very bright on his fair skin.

Angus looked at him for a while, then sighed, turned his head to the side, and did not continue to stare at his face.

"Are you really all right, Gray?"

"I...Of course...it's fine..." Gray gasped and reluctantly replied.

Angus shook his head and squatted down in front of him.

"Let me carry you on my back. It's still far away from the exit. If you do this, we will be too late."

Gray looked at his broad back, hesitating.

"Hurry up, if the River of Tears changes direction again, we won't be able to go back today." Angus urged.Gray bit his lower lip, but still climbed onto his back.

"You really should eat more." Angus carried him on his back and walked steadily. "I really think that you are not much heavier than a cat."

Gerry looked at Angus' ears with black hair exposed, and gritted his teeth.He suddenly thought of a question. After thinking about it, he still couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked, "Is the color of your hair natural?"

People in this world prefer lighter hair colors, especially nobles, who are proud of having hair that shines like gold.Although they don't have any taboos about black, before Angus, Gray had never met other people with black hair.

There are some sporadic records in the empire, saying that in a country in the east, all the people there have black hair and wheat-colored skin.Gray guessed that maybe there is a place similar to Asia.However, the level of navigation in this world has not yet developed to the point where transoceanic voyages are possible, and he has no chance to witness it with his own eyes.

"My hair color is naturally black, which comes from my father." Angus said: "It is said that he came from the far east."

"Supposedly?"

Angus said indifferently: "I haven't seen him since I was five years old. I heard about him from others."

Gray didn't ask any more questions, but his heart was full of doubts. He didn't believe that someone could cross the endless ocean and reach here safely.

Angus stopped suddenly, and Gray was blocked by him, so he couldn't see what happened.

"Hold tight, I'll show you something." Angus said, bending down and getting into a narrow hole.Gray could only tighten his arms and stick to him as much as possible.

The entrance of this cave is small, but the area inside the cave is unexpectedly large.Angus bent down, let Gray get off his back, and pushed him in front of him.

"I think you'll love this."

The cave extends inward for a long distance, and the further inward, the lower the terrain.The underground rivers flowing here gathered here, and over time, a huge lake was formed.In the center of the lake, several beautiful stalactites protrude from the water surface, polished smooth by the lake water, forming a natural sculpture group.

What is even more surprising is that there is another underground hot spring at the bottom of this lake, and white underground hot spring water continuously emerges from the ground.They touch the green water of the underground river, but they are clearly separated from each other, each following its own track and flowing on its own.The dense mist floats slowly on the surface of the lake, making the whole lake dreamlike.

Gray's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but squat down and touch the lake water with his hands.The temperature difference between the two colors of water flow is very obvious.There seems to be some invisible resistance between the two waters, preventing them from merging together.

Is it because of the different densities?Gray guessed, but had no answer.

"Be careful, the water in this lake is deeper than you think." Angus reminded, then stretched out his hand, held Gray's hand underwater, and pulled his hand from the green side to the green side. White side.

"The water in the underground river is very cold. If you touch it for a long time, it's not good for your health." He said, and then let go of Gray's hand naturally.

They stayed by the lake for a while, and when they set off again, Gray didn't ask Angus to carry them on his back, and insisted on walking by himself.

The exit of the cave is at the foot of a hill, which is a long and narrow tunnel.They walked stooped for a long time before they finally saw the light again.

The creek from Grey's came to pass by the foot of the mountain, and now the stream flows down the terrain.

Angus found the boat from the grass not far away and pushed it into the water.The boat is small and can only accommodate one person.

"Do you remember the way back?" Angus looked at Gray and asked.

Gray nodded and boarded the boat. He couldn't swim, so he could only sit obediently with his knees hugged.

Angus smiled: "Don't worry, this stream is very shallow."

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and rubbed Gray's hair, then pushed the boat hard.The boat swayed a few times on the water, then flowed downstream along the direction of the current.

Gray buried his head in his knees and closed his eyes in the gloom.

"Did you have fun, Angus?" Angus returned to the cave, and Angel was standing there with his arms folded, leaning on the cave wall and looking at him with a half-smile: "Poor Grey, he must I don't know, you took him around here for five full laps."

"The exact number is six circles." Angus said with a smile. He stepped forward and kissed Angel's forehead: "Thank you very much, Angel, I am very happy today."

"As long as you're happy." Beanqier stretched out her arms, wrapped them around Angus' neck, and whispered in his ear, "Happy birthday, brother."
