Chapter 58 The Castle Part 4

After a few seconds, the silhouette of the old ot up on his feet, and walked all the way to the opposite corridor

Daniel followed hie and well decorated room Once in, the silhouette disappeared

This room contained well kept furniture, and its walls were covered in paintings One of theht Daniel's attention

This painting depicted a family of three A father, a mother, and a son

The man in the picture looked extremely serious His brows furrowed above two clear blue eyes, and his blonde hair were short and very well kept, just like a soldier would

He wore an i armor, on which a crest had been carved This crest was similar to the one Daniel had seen in various other places within the castle From the sword and spear that had been painted by his side and hand, Daniel could guess that that person was the warrior whose silhouette he had followed

Next to hiht, and she let them flow behind her back Her s between the tas a kid This kid's hair were blonde, just like his father, but that was the only trait the two shared His look was serious and detached, as if staying in pose for the family portrait had been the last of his worries

Of one thing Daniel was certain This castle was this family's home What he didn't understand, hy he would have so many visions about this armed man and his child

Daniel looked away fro, and when he turned around to inspect the roo at his desk

His back was now curved, and he looked completely dispirited His head moved up and down, and at ti to cover the sha in the direction of the wall ani to convey his e with his words

He was clearly having an animated discussion with someone on the other side of the desk

The conversation went on for awhile, and the more they talked, the more dispirited the man became

At a certain point in the discussion, Daniel noticed the man's head turn rapidly towards the direction of the door Panicked, he swiped his hand on the table, and hid so inside one of the desks drawers

He then stood up and walked toward door, before suddenly disappearing

Daniel walked towards the desk and started to inspect it

The desk was in perfect conditions, and it didn't seem like the influence of time had any effect on it

He sat in the chair, and opened the drawers one by one The first of these drawers contained clean sheets of paper, quill pens and bottles of ink, while the second was filled of documents and letters

On these documents and letters, many different wax seals appeared

Daniel had no idea what he was looking for, so he took the large pile of docuh thericultural reports, h these docu that this family had been a noble and rich one, he couldn't understand the correlation with the visions he had had

Putting the documents back inside the drawer, Daniel tried to remember the scene he had seen, and imitate the oldlead him to the drawers

Daniel opened these drawers and eain, but still, he found no secret space

It was only when Daniel had decided to reether to examine them better, that he noticed a vertical part of the desk whose edges didn't match the rest

It was a simple piece of ho shouldn't have been added separately, and instead should have been carved along with the rest of the desk froinal piece of wood

Daniel removed this piece of wood, and behind it, he found a secret compartment Inside which, was a rolled up scroll

After opening the scroll, Daniel read its content In it, were the instruction for the construction of a large scale ical trap

Before Daniel could find a way to cos of this trap, a blue silhouette entered the rooht, and he looked like a refined and powerful cultivator Daniel recognized him as the man he had seen in the previous room But he didn't seem to be in such a terrible state

The man approached the bed, and sat next to it His back bent forward, and his elbows rested on the edge of the bed His hands joined together, slightly spaced apart, as if he was holding another person's hand between the in bed

The figure suddenly disappeared, leaving the rooain

Daniel's attention turned back towards the ical trap, but unfortunately, after two full hours, he couldn't understand any of its sye was completely different from that on the other roo he had ed to read, was the title written in a atory of the da up on the scroll, Daniel left the roo else of significance happened
