Chapter 1925 The Taste of Emptiness
While the stargazing day was in full swing, everyone on Angel's side was studying the knight's armor.
Anyway, even if Maya wanted to contact them, it would have to be after the stargazing day was over.
The tree spirit repeatedly observed every detail of the knight's armor. He was very sure that before the ruins were sealed, there was absolutely no such knight armor in any of the rooms on the three underground floors, let alone the corridors! This is an unconventional thing that appears out of nowhere.
Where does it come from? How did it appear? Now it has become a doubt in everyone's mind.
According to the tree spirit's guess, there are two possibilities. First, this knight's armor may come from a hidden room. Second, outsiders have entered the ruins.
These two guesses are the inferences of the tree spirit, but no matter which guess, there are obvious loopholes.
If there really is a hidden room in the ruins, and the knight's armor came from the hidden room, how did it come out? What is the source of it? Did the knight armor come out on his own initiative, or was there someone in the hidden room secretly controlling it?
If an outsider placed it here, how did the outsider enter this sealed ruins?
"I am very sure that when I brought Angel here, it was the first time I opened the ruins after they were sealed. Before that, there was no sign of the ruins being activated," said the tree spirit.
In other words, if an outsider enters the ruins, it is only possible that that person did not take the main entrance.
If it wasn't the main entrance, where could it be?
One after another, doubts arose in their hearts. Angel was also confused. This knight's armor, which he thought was ordinary before, now seemed to be shrouded in a layer of doubt that was difficult to solve.
There are so many questions and no answers. Angel wanted to hear other people's opinions, but the tree spirit and Sanders also frowned with doubts on their faces, but Lord Rhine seemed to have discovered something.
I saw a shimmer of light escaping from the center of Rhine's eyebrows. After this shimmer left the center of his eyebrows, it turned into an eye made of light.
It is difficult for Angel to describe this eye in words, because it is both illusory and real. It does not seem to be in this space, or even at this time point, but it truly represents the object.
This feeling made Angel feel like he was back when he was refining Blood Night Asylum and saw the time thief who called himself Cassini.
It's like time is flowing in its pupils, and everything it sees is showing its original appearance.
Angel was completely shocked by this eye, not only its unique appearance, but also the powerful aura that no one could capture when it appeared in the world.
This kind of power has exceeded Angel's cognition.
He didn't even know what this eye was. Was it an organ transplant or some unknown technique?
"This is...the eye of truth." It was Sanders who spoke, and his tone also contained shock.
The eye of truth? Angel always felt like he had heard it somewhere. But before Angel could remember it, the tree spirit on the side cleared his doubts: "The Eye of Truth is the ultimate advancement of the Eye of True Sight."
A flash of realization flashed in Angel's eyes. He knew that the Eye of True Sight was a very difficult level three trick to learn. Its function is to see clearly the reality of things through appearances.
It is often used to track hidden traces and explore historical truth.
The Eye of True Seeing is only a third-level magic trick, so what level does its ultimate advanced version, the Eye of Truth, reach?
"Level 3 spell." The tree spirit said calmly.
What is the concept of third-level magic? Many second-level tricks require a year and a half to study, and the techniques are naturally even more different. Of course, there is a gap in the research and development capabilities between formal wizards and apprentices, but even if there is a gap, it is impossible to achieve overnight success in developing spells.
Research on magic often takes more than ten years. Third-level spells are even more unusual. Unless there are some special circumstances, most third-level spells take a long time to develop and research. If you encounter an extremely difficult one, it will take longer.
The Eye of Truth is one of the more difficult types among third-level spells. Because of this, even Sanders felt shocked.
"Does the Eye of Truth involve the realm of time?" Angel asked, looking at the pupils that seemed to be flowing with time.
Angel knew that although the Eye of True Seeing could explore the truth of history, it had not yet entered the realm of time. Just look back at past facts through existing details. Then its ultimate advancement, has it entered the time realm?
This time, it was not the tree spirit who answered Angel's question, but the magician Rhine.
"The Eye of Truth does involve part of the power of time, but it does not really enter the realm of time... The realm of time is not that easy to enter." Rhine looked at Angel. If others asked, he would most likely not elaborate. , but since it was Angel, Rhine didn't mind saying more: "Even if the Eye of Truth involves part of the time effect, it's actually a little different from what you imagine. Simply because of this third-level trick, when it was constructed Very special.”
Rhine did not tell Angel what was special. This was not what Angel needed to know now.
After explaining to Angel, Rhine then talked about what he learned from observing the knight's armor this time: "I still agree with the two guesses of the tree spirit. But both guesses have many problems that need to be solved, and The best way to explore a question is to explore the truth directly from itself.”
Regardless of whether the knight's armor came by himself or was brought by someone. For its appearance in this ruins, there must be external force involved, and the traces left by the external force are naturally this knight's armor.
Therefore, Rhine wanted to use the knight's armor to find the answer in the history of this armor with the eye of truth.
"Under the observation of the Eye of Truth, I did find something interesting." Rhine withdrew the Eye of Truth in mid-air. When the Eye of Truth sank into his eyebrows, his eyes seemed to glow slightly.
"The Eye of Truth found some traces of cleaning on this knight's armor." Rhine pointed to the broken magic patterns on the armor, "These magic patterns have been cleaned."
Angel also knew this, but was there any point in cleaning up the traces?
"The traces of cleaning are meaningless, but I sensed a little bit of the smell of void in the traces. From its lingering aftertaste, I can probably deduce that it was about a hundred years ago."
The void naturally has no taste. This is just what Rhine said for the convenience of explanation.
"You mean, this knight's armor was in the void a hundred years ago?" The tree spirit's eyes lit up: "This ruins was still sealed a hundred years ago, which means that this knight's armor must be from outside. ! Then the first guess is wrong, it was brought into the ruins by outsiders!”
Rhine: "Because it is contaminated with the smell of void, it is indeed possible that the knight armor was brought in by outsiders. However, your first guess may also be correct."
Sanders seemed to understand something: "If the knight's armor was brought in by someone, then that person must have entered this ruins through some unknown special passage. If the knight's armor is contaminated with the smell of the void, then the other party came from the void. Entered?”
"The ruins themselves are in the void, so it is reasonable to think so. However, since you have not found another exit in the ruins, does this mean that there are passages, or rooms, in the ruins that you are not aware of."
"And this is the so-called hidden room."
