Chapter 211 Fragments and Core
“I can try, Lord Anves.”
Come calm Nodding, take out a purple secret technique array disk from the ring, and inject magic to light it up.
After he made a slight manipulation, a map of the whole island suddenly appeared in midair above the formation plate.
At the same time, a faint green bright spot suddenly lit up, and above the island, among the endless blue ocean, flashed in a blurred area of shadow.
“It seems that on the north side of the island, five miles out of the sea, coincides with the location of the seabed ruins.”
Looking at the map, Chaom said in confusion. survey results.
“Stopped at the seabed ruins? It didn’t leave?”
Anves glanced at the map suspiciously. It looks very abrupt and conspicuous.
According to the old explorer Bergson, the seabed ruins are related to the Moon Caller Esoteric Order.
Originally, Anves hadn’t planned to go there due to his sense of danger.
But the black ship was able to go to the continent, and then successfully returned more than once, indicating that there is a high probability that there is a guiding magic device on it.
After a little hesitation, Anves finally made up his mind.
“Alright, let’s go around far away, find a way to get the guidance device on that ship, and leave immediately.”
.
… ….
The northernmost point of the island group, the top of the mountain.
The lonely castle hangs dangerously on the edge of the cliff, and a huge steel drawbridge connects it to the top of another mountain.
Surrounded by many gray thorns and strange roses, the outer wall of the towering castle is covered with dark green vines, and a large number of vines even partially drilled into the stone arched windows. , giving it an ancient and eerie feeling.
The full moon rose, and the bleak purple moonlight enveloped the castle. When it seeped into the thick arched windows of the castle, it was unabashedly gloomy and biting.
The howling peaks blew over the sharp spires, bastions, and round towers of the castle, whizzing back and forth between the narrow windows and semicircular arches.
In the depths of the castle, a half-elf girl with a beautiful and slender one-handed sword in her right hand and a warm yellow lantern in her left hand is carefully advancing.
After looking around for a while, Claire flipped the switch, opened a secret door, and proceeded carefully to the bottom of the castle.
Come on, she’s already feeling it, the thing that softly calls to her, just ahead.
In the process of exploring, she also encountered some dangers, but for her, an explorer with some experience, it was not too difficult.
The most dangerous one was the sudden collapse of the tower on the side of the castle, which seemed to be ‘in disrepair’.
But luckily, she’s used to escaping from all kinds of collapsed buildings.
The moment before the thousands of tons of ancient rocks fell like the sky, the girl rushed out of the black steel tower in advance and survived.
There is a strange power fluctuation in the castle, that kind of fluctuation is completely different from anywhere on the island, but Claire does not perceive any danger, but has a strange intimacy with it. .
As if she had known him for a long time.
In front of the last secret door, the girl stopped.
The secret door is made of ancient azure black metal with a strange ancient symbol on the surface.
For some reason, she suddenly felt something in her heart.
Under the prompting of this perception, she slowly released the lantern in her left hand, and gently put her white and tender palm on the surface of the symbol.
The symbol lighted up slightly, the girl felt a slight tingling in her fingertips, and a drop of blood was sucked out from her fingertips and merged into the symbol.
As if meeting certain conditions, the door slid open silently, revealing a long spiral staircase hidden in the darkness deep behind it.
The surface of the black wooden staircase is covered with bright red carpet, and the part where the secret door opens is the middle section of the staircase, no matter whether it is up or down, Claire can’t see the end.
Standing at the door, the girl clearly noticed that the source of that attraction was at the top of the spiral staircase.
The warm yellow light illuminates the darkness of the spiral staircase.
Although it may be the end, Claire hasn’t let her guard down.
She has seen many negative cases where explorers lost their hands and fell into danger due to relaxation at the last moment of their expeditions, resulting in disability or even death.
Although the spiral staircase seemed to be long, as the girl continued to climb, the exit at the end finally appeared in front of the girl.
After stepping out of the spiral staircase, a wide rock hall appeared in her sight.
An ancient silk banner hangs on the walls of the hall, and the scarlet banner with a gold edge is embroidered with a strange symbol, as if it were a symbol of an ancient kingdom that has been destroyed for a long time.
And on the stone throne in the center of the hall, something emitting rays of light firmly attracted the girl’s attention.
It was a beautiful and illusory fragment, with a little dreamy luster around it, and the wonderful colors were difficult to describe in any language.
Looking at the fragments, an indescribable intimacy came from the girl’s heart.
As if, a long time ago, she was very familiar with it.
“You…come…”
When her eyes touched the fragments, a soft female voice like a clear spring suddenly flowed in the half-elf girl’s heart.
“Are you calling me? Can you solve it for me, do I have the trait of bringing bad luck to my companions?”
Looking at the shards suspended on the throne doubtfully , Claire asked softly.
“Yes… our ‘core’…”
A circle of gentle ripples emanated from the surface of the shard, brushing across the girl’s tender and fair cheeks, as if expressing approval .
“What do you call me?”
The girl was slightly taken aback.
“Core…”
The fragments waved gently.
“No doubt, you are one of the ‘fragments’, and the most important, indispensable, and only core fragment of that…”
“The ‘fragments’ The power that wants to become one will spontaneously attract you, and the ‘doom trait’ in you may only be related to our body…”
“I am the ‘core’ fragment ?”
The girl was a little surprised, she instinctively raised her hand to brush golden’s hair, and asked a question.
“Then, before it was broken…what were the fragments?”
“A broken mirror cannot reflect the whole picture of oneself…the damaged body tissue cannot be Knowing who we were in our lifetimes, we do the same thing…”
The illusory fragments waved gently, and the light spots on the surface sometimes scattered and sometimes condensed.
“If there is really a piece of debris, it may record what it looked like when it was complete… Then, I am afraid that it is only you as the core, as the brain…”
“Touch me, absorb me, and you will know everything I know…”
“Okay… if, I absorb you, will your consciousness disappear? “
Claire nodded lightly, but because of the unspeakable kindness in her heart, she couldn’t help asking hesitantly.
“I am you, you are me, we are one, and we have not disappeared.”
The female voice of fragments finally sounded, and at the same time, a huge picture in the sky outside the window The scene of Purple Moon suddenly appeared in the girl’s heart.
“Go, deep beneath the castle, there is our legacy to ourselves. Take them, and get out of here, out of this dying island, and take us back home One common desire!”
