Chapter 678： amber (1/2)
When I heard Pitman's words, Amber looked at Gao Wen with a subconscious mind. The latter said on his own initiative: "I can avoid it - if you don't want others to hear it."
"No, I don't care," Amber shook his head. "You have a good brain, and there will always be unexpected insights. I want you to be there, and this note... you can also take a look."
Gao Wen silently looked at the amber, did not shirk, but nodded slightly.
The fountain is not suitable for excavating these hidden memories. The three left the overly lively courtyard. In a lounge on the first floor of the Silver Fort, Amber solemnly placed the note on the table in front of Gaowen. And Pitman's face, carefully opened its shabby and fragile cover.
There are no patterns and coats on the inner pages. There are no kinds of patterns commonly found in most aristocratic handwritten books of this era. On that yellowed paper, only a simple sentence is written:
"Give my daughter - hope that when you see it, you have grown up happily and safely."
"There is still so much nonsense..." Amber licked his lips, and his movements were more careful than before, and slowly opened the first page.
This is a diary, a diary written in special circumstances:
"... enter the third day of the Shadow Fortress.
"As a Royal Shadow Guard, I should not leave any written information in the course of performing confidential tasks. This is a violation of confidentiality rules, but the current situation is special. I may not be able to leave this safely. People left warnings and experiences, and I decided to record part of my trip.
"My name is Sari Randolph, a royal shadow guard. I was ordered to come to the dark mountains of the South, looking for ancient heritage in this land abandoned by the gods.
"I am unfortunately trapped in this place called ‘Shadow Fortress’. I believe this is the place where ancient heritage is buried...
"...According to the information in advance, the Shadow Fortress is not in the real world we are familiar with. It is a territory opened up by the ancient Gangster Empire through the superb loss technique in the shadow world. It floats outside the world, but Nor has it established a stable connection with the shadow world. It is a free space that can only be accessed through specific gates and ceremonies...
"Part of my intelligence is correct. There is indeed a space node in the dark mountains that leads to the Shadow Fortress. I started the ceremony at this node and successfully entered here, but the intelligence error lies in the "shadow" used to open the gate. The ring is a one-off – or I can't find a way to recharge it.
"His Majesty gave me one of the two rings in his hand. Obviously, he did not expect that the ring could only be used once when the Shadow Fortress was opened."
Just looking at these few paragraphs, Amber couldn't help but look up and confront the same high-faced Gao Wen.
"Shadow 玺 ring..." Amber subconsciously grasped a thin chain hung around his neck. Two quaint rings were hanging on the necklace, one of which still had magical brilliance and the other was bleak. Light.
The ring with magical brilliance was obtained from Francis II. The dull ring was amber from childhood. Now, the origins of these two rings have finally been explained.
She bowed her head and continued to look at the follow-up of the diary:
"...Despite being trapped, I still have to admire the superb technology of the ancient Gangster Empire. The Shadow Fortress is an unimaginable place - including the process of entering the fortress is incredible. I stand in the dark mountains with the right magic At the intersection, just injecting magic into the ring, you can open a door to the shadow world in normal time and space. I suspect that the ring only sends a signal during this process. The real opening process is a kind of facility by Shadow Fortress. Completed, but I have not found a clue yet...
"...this magnificent building is made of a man-made material, stronger than the rock, it floats in a void, and there is no land around it. There is no glowing object in the sky, this and the shadow field The scenes described in the monograph are consistent...
"My current position should be in the vestibule of this ancient facility. I can see that there is a gate. The outside of the gate is purely empty and dark, which makes people inevitably doubt the meaning of this door - but I am at the gate. Some weird columns were found on the front-range limited platform. I suspect that they are used to fix some kind of transportation, or to fix some kind of mount that can walk through the shadows. The ancient Gangs might have the ability to Exploring in the darkness of the void, after all, they are omnipotent gangsters...
"The other end of the courtyard is the main body of the building, a huge palace or fortress. I have explored a small part of its entrance. It is shocking to me. There are countless corridors and rooms, and empty halls. And the warehouse... I can't imagine how many people worked and lived in this different space facility... It's so big that I suspect that many people can live here for a lifetime, if a newborn is born In this, as long as no one instills the correct knowledge, he may not even know the existence of the outside world...
"Ah, my rich association ability can only be used to relieve boredom, and I can't let me go out from this **** place."
Amber flipped the paper, and in the quiet lounge, only the sound of the paper flipped and the gentle breathing of the three people remained.
"...the fourth day of being trapped.
“I have been thinking about whether I should delve deeper into the depths of the fortress for the past three days, which may mean additional risks: the defense mechanisms in ancient facilities may still be working, and the more likely to be sleeping guards will be awakened by me.
"It is said that the magical guards of the Violet Kingdom can continue to operate for six hundred years after the death of their masters. Those legendary Gangshou Ironman soldiers may be able to run longer...
"But I should probably take some risks - I have been looking for three days in the courtyard and outside the corridor. There is no device to open the space door, and my food and drinking have reached a very dangerous situation. The dead and the ancient guards cut their heads between the latter, the latter may be more benevolent.
"I want to enter the inner corridor.
"... On the sixth day, I was still trapped.
"This **** fortress, why is it so big!! How many cloisters does it have, how many rooms, how many halls! Is the gangster throwing people from a city into the shadow world?
"How superb is the technology of the Gangster Empire. They can build such a fortress in the shadow world. They can let thousands of people live in this space for a long time, and I, one from a thousand years later. The Royal Shadow Guard, in this ancient facility, can only drill around and find a clue, which is really ironic.
"By the way, my water is finished and the food is exhausted.
“On the seventh day, I found an empty room. It used to be some sort of research facility. I saw some platforms with runes and pipes and containers that didn’t work. Unfortunately, all There is no water in the pipes and containers.
"I have to start thinking about things."
"On the eighth day, the key word today is moss.
"Yes, Moss! In this fortress that has been isolated for thousands of years, there is moss! In the shadow world, there is moss!
“They grow in a laboratory-like room. There are a lot of large tubular containers fixed on the ground. The containers are empty, but the outer walls of one of the containers and the nearby walls and floors are full of such cuteness. The little plants. Just like everything else in the shadow world, these mosses are also grayish black, so I almost confused them with ordinary stains at first. Thankfully, I stayed in this room for a little more. meeting……
"The appearance of moss means damp, and dampness means water.
"The taste of moss is bitter, and there is a weird, gum-like taste. They may not be good for my health, but I can't take care of it. Without these mosses, I would never care about it for a few days. My own health problems.
