Chapter 1193: Cage and caretaker
Hao Ren is completely shocked. He has counted thousands of dollars before, but the "aristocratic family" that once lived in this house is actually a group of hunters!
And still break with the Demon Hunter, and a stranger who is mixed with a different kind!
Hesperus's face is incredible: "This is impossible! If the previous notes and the sounds of the previous ones are true, is this group of demon hunters from their sects?" It has never happened since ancient times!"
"The Demon Hunter is extremely united and infinitely loyal to the Order. Even if there is a big contradiction inside, it will not turn into a defect." Vivian also shook his head gently, "at least until we lift the **** of the innate enemy. They have never had the example of a defect organization... let alone run a group of people to help Hercules this 'extraordinary embers'."
At this time, Hao Ren suddenly remembered a detail that he had just heard from the past reverberation: "Wait a minute, we didn't hear it in the house, there is a hunter who said that Hercules extracted power from the artifact and then took them from Freed from the bondage... Is the **** here a congenital enemy?"
Vivian sighed and seemed to realize: "Oh, the original sentence means this... What kind of artifact is that artifact?"
"It has the power of a bat, and somehow it has lifted the curse of a group of hunters, and then there is a big villain inside," Lily scratched her hair, her tail swaying uneasily. "How much?" Oddly strange attributes."
Hao Ren didn't say anything, just looked up at the towering tower behind the main house: in this ancient house in a different space, the tower still has a intact appearance, it is built of stone and painted with white mortar. The slender windows are also decorated with iron-textured frames on either side. Looking at some of the details when it was in good condition, recalling the words I just heard, Hao Ren realized that this was actually a magic tower.
It is just disguised as a regulation of secular architecture.
"The echoes that I have heard so far seem to follow us," Hesperris said. "Where we go, we will hear the sounds, and it sounds like a major turning point."
Vivian nodded gently: "Maybe someone deliberately set these up to make a hint to us, or it may be that the living person stepped into this space and touched the magic that has been preserved here for a hundred years. This phenomenon often appears in the monuments."
"That tower," Hao Ren pointed to the tower behind the main house. "I think the turning point in everything is happening in that place."
The group quickly found the way to the tower. They crossed the path between the main house and the attached house and came to the back of the mansion: it might have been a small garden, but now the flower beds and stone pots can only See the gray-white weird grit and a semi-crystalline twisted material, and the tower is at the end of this "small garden."
Lily was strong and courageous. When she just wanted to move to the tower door, she suddenly heard a fierce quarrel in the nearby air:
The first is a majestic male voice: "Enough! Xavier! Your research has become more and more dangerous, so that you will sooner or later walk into the darkness on the other side of the border!"
Then there was a young female voice: "I know what I am doing, Master Mohaben, I respect your knowledge, but despise your fearlessness, you didn't see it? The beautiful scene on the side? The darkness is not empty. Nothing! Except..."
"Besides being crazy, what do you want to find?" Mohaben’s voice is even higher. "You should have heard your mentor say countless times before you complete your first adult trial. There are countless mysteries in this world. But not every mystery can be touched by mortals. Some secrets are behind the twisted world of taboos, some secrets lead to the dark side of the universe, and you are now standing only a line away from the dark side of the universe! From today, you can no longer meet with Hercules, and you are not allowed to touch the artifact again. I want to keep it forever..."
The sound came to an abrupt end, and this brief reverberation was over.
Hao Ren looks at Hesperes: "It seems like you said, as long as we arrive at a place where a major event has occurred, it will touch the time and space memory here."
Lily came to the front of the tower and shrugged her nose to confirm that there was nothing suspicious inside. Then she pushed open the seemingly heavy door that was made of oak and iron bars.
At the moment when the gate opened, Hao Ren seemed to hear countless voices coming in, it was a trivial whisper, an intermittent quarrel, a meaningless daytime chat, as if there were hundreds of invisible people hiding in it. Nearby, whispering and talking to each other while pointing at it, and the whispers of these mixed whispers are so vague that he can't hear any meaningful fragments.
It was not until a dozen seconds later that these whispers gradually faded away, but there were still a few sporadic sounds coming from nearby. Facing the black hole of the magic tower gate, these whispers from the air are creepy.
"This is a magical focus," Hesperris heard the sound, but she was more professional. "So a lot of extra voice was recorded."
Hao Ren nodded and played with Lily, stepping into the tower, and those whispers followed them.
The structure in the tower is surprisingly simple. Perhaps it has already explored too many large-scale relics. I saw a huge magic tower like the "Spiritual Clock Tower". Hao Ren almost forgot that the normal tower should be inside. What looks like. There is almost no decoration inside the building, and there is no room. Only a wooden staircase that spirals upwards extends along the curved wall. In the middle of the tower, you can see several platforms protruding from the wall. In addition, you can directly see the top floor.
On the bottom layer, Hao Ren saw a lot of wooden shelves arranged along the wall, with suspicious pharmacy bottles, silver ritual utensils, and scrolls and books that could not be seen. Perhaps the reason for the heterogeneity, all of these things are distorted, the glass bottles become crooked, the ritual utensils have an unusual luster, and the books and scrolls are blank after opening.
When they stepped up the stairs, everyone heard the voice of the past, and this time the sound mixed in the whispers around, it also showed serious distortion and interference, and even could not hear the voice of the speaker:
"It finally began to enter the real world... Our measures did not have much effect. The power of the artifact could not be sealed. It was far beyond our understanding."
"So only one prison can be built..."
"In the end, I still have to use the results of Xavier. Although her research led to the boundary being broken ahead of time, she also found the possibility."
"Can Hewell still come back?"
"I only found her research notes and destroyed ceremonial scenes... She has probably been sucked into the other side of the border, and in the dark side of the universe, no mortal can escape. Unfortunately, we lost a promising Hunting demon, she is actually the best researcher I have ever seen. If she stays in Colpers, she might even become a scholar in the library of the Spirit Clock Tower... but she ran out with us. And her impatience and madness gave her a life."
"But it, but I am also a dying person anyway. It is you, old man, this burden will fall on you and Hathaway, you have to keep going."
"Hah, Hercules will be there with us, rest assured..."
The sound is getting farther away, and the spiral staircase is coming to an end.
"They must have been some kind of ritual on this," Vivian looked up at the end of the stairs. "Then he made the village's enchantment."
After the last few stairs, Hao Ren held the wooden handrail next to it, and the probe looked at the top of the tower, and then whispered softly.
The top floor of the tower is a circular room with a large number of shelves and desks. The four narrow windows are symmetrically distributed on the curved outer wall, and in front of one of the windows, a black chair is placed. The man with white hair is sitting there!
He turned his back to the stairs, so he couldn't see his appearance, but Hao Ren saw the hunting hunter's suit worn on the other side, and a sacred silver sword that was placed across his leg and exposed halfway from the side.
"Someone?!" Lily followed Herren. She couldn't help but whisper when she saw the situation above.
"The big dog, your tail hit my face, what happened?"
"Excuse me..." Hao Ren stepped toward the old man sitting at the window, but the other party did not respond.
From here, I can see the other side's appearance. This is an old hunter, although I can see some of the old heroes from his eyebrows, but now he is already a squat, he is sitting in a chair. Facing the window, my eyes were half-closed and half-closed, and seemed to be alive, but I could not feel the slightest anger.
Hao Ren reached out, but just as he was about to touch the shoulders of the old hunter, a faint female voice came from not far: "Don't bother the watcher." (^)
