Main Text Volume Chapter 104 Alchemical Manuscript
This row of beautiful cursive characters was probably written by Ms. Margaret. However, it seems that this note was not sent back, so Augustine may not know that Margaret also loves him, and this unspoken love is buried here forever, never to see the light of day.
In Angel's mind, a picture seemed to flash across, two people in love, obviously in love with each other, but for various reasons, they could not really make it clear, and finally, a huge change separated them forever. Love did not bear fruit, but the withered emotions were precious.
This series of notes tells a short but very romantic story of a two-way secret love. Unfortunately, the ending does not seem to be good.
Angel sighed: fate makes people. Then he put down these notes and stopped paying attention.
No matter how much he sighed, he was just an outsider. Naraku City was unearthed tens of thousands of years ago, which means that this sad love story is at least tens of thousands of years ago, or even earlier. There is no need to worry about whether the story is complete or not, isn't it?
There is not much useful information in the notes, and he needs to search elsewhere.
Angel looked through Margaret's room again. Although he did not gain anything, he was puzzled by some details in the room.
Since he stepped into the stairs, he has been to many rooms. Except for some special items, everything else has rotted and weathered due to the passage of time.
But in this room, Angel did not find any traces of weathering. Even the tabletop was as clean as new. The silk quilt on the bed was smooth and cool to the touch, and it also exuded a faint fragrance. Clothes, makeup powder, plaster, etc., these extremely fragile things, have not deteriorated, just like Margaret was still dressing up in the room a moment ago.
Is it because time has specially favored this place, or is it intentional when the nightmare world "projects reality"? These are difficult to answer mysteries, at least Angel can't figure it out now even if he racks his brains.
After leaving Margaret's bedroom, Angell came to another bedroom. From the style here, it can be inferred that it should be the original owner's room.
Angell searched in this room for a long time, but found nothing. However, according to Angell's experience of living in aristocratic families for many years, he always felt that the bedrooms of wealthy families should have places to hide items, just like his dead father, whose bedroom had a dark room dedicated to valuables.
So after searching for a while, although Angell did not find anything valuable, he did not stop and continued to search unyieldingly.
In the end, he really found a secret passage.
This secret passage is under the bed. Opening a rectangular cover is a secret passage that looks deep.
Angell entered the secret passage and walked a few steps to a sealed space. The space is not large, about three or four cubic meters. There is a bookshelf and some items that seem to have no purpose.
Angell estimated that this is where the owner's treasure is hidden. With a hint of excitement, Angell walked to the bookshelf first.
There are three rows of bookshelves, each row is full of books. Angell picked up a book at random: "Annotations on the Extraction Method of Precious Materials 1".
"It's actually an alchemy book, and it's a book that the mentor doesn't collect?" Angell thought to himself, then flipped through a few pages and found that the content involved extremely profound alchemy knowledge, and it was definitely not a shallow alchemy book.
Angell took out a few more books, all of which were books related to alchemy. Many of them were rare and unique, and Sanders's library had never collected them!
Angell was delighted, this was an unexpected gain!
After recording all the books in the bookshelf, Angell felt more and more that the things in it were precious. Some of the alchemy theories in it already required legendary or even higher-level wizards to perform. It was definitely an extremely precious book. I don't know what the original owner of this place was, who could collect so many alchemy books.
After recording the books, Angell's mood was rare and bright, and he came to the other side of the items. He didn't know these things before, but while recording the books, he also learned some knowledge of alchemy. The things here are basically related to alchemy, and they are extremely well made.
Unfortunately, Angell couldn't take any of them away. Not to mention, will they disappear inexplicably like the things in the previous room? Moreover, these alchemy tools are very tall, can he still carry them with him?
So, Angell had no choice but to give up. But this did not affect his good mood. He was very happy to have gained so many precious books!
Leaving the bedroom, Angell came to the last room on the second floor.
This room is located on the left. According to the convention of nobles respecting the left, the location of this room happens to be the best of all the rooms. So Angell was also looking forward to this room the most.
When he pushed open the door, the first thing that came into his sight was a large floor-to-ceiling bookshelf, and Angell's eyes lit up!
Unexpectedly, the last room turned out to be a study!
...
The layout of the room is very simple, with a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf, a table, and several oil paintings hanging on the wall. Angell naturally rushed to the bookshelf at the first time, but when he opened the bookshelf and flipped through a few books, his expression was disappointed.
It was true that there were many books on the bookshelf, but they were basically all official documents about "Naraku Castle", including official letters on building approval, official letters on gardening, and books on the layout of major traffic routes, city defense facilities, etc. These scattered documents filled the entire bookshelf.
Alas, Angel sighed and put all the books back to their original places. Although he didn't find anything useful, at least he knew that this city was not called "Garden Labyrinth" but "Naraku City", which was also a kind of gain.
Angel also had some guesses about the identity of the owner here. After all, he should be a person in an important position to be able to annotate such an important document. He might even be a core management staff of Naraku City.
However, none of this mattered, after all, Naraku City had long been a ruin in reality.
Angel closed the glass window of the bookshelf and slowly walked to the table in the study. When he just came in, he noticed that there was an open book on the desk, and there was a feather pen inserted in ink next to it, as if someone had sat at the table to record something.
Angel sat on the chair and picked up the open book.
The book was a notebook, and the open page had traces of writing, but the owner seemed to have only written half of it, and did not continue writing for some reason.
Angel turned the notebook to the first page, wanting to see what he wrote.
When he saw the first line of words on the first page, Angel's eyes widened:
"Singularity Scattering Meditation Method"!
It turned out to be a meditation method? ! This is the first meditation method Angel saw in the Nightmare Realm, and it is located exactly in the center of the sewer maze. Could this be the special guidance method that the mentor mentioned? !
Angel was excited. If this is really the guidance method that Sanders mentioned, then his future path as a wizard will also start from it!
Thinking of this, Angel planned to continue reading. Suddenly he remembered what the mentor said, even if you can recite this guidance method by heart in the Nightmare Realm, you will still forget it when you return to the wizard world.
Angel was not in a hurry to read. He used the holographic tablet to record every page before starting to read from the beginning.
