Main Text Volume Chapter 117 Arrival at the Savage Cave (Part 1)

Ingres' steps were frozen, and the holographic projection restored all the objects and environment within his sight in a panoramic mode.

Ingres didn't care about the scattered oil paintings around him, and all his eyes were on the oil painting with a black tone.

It was a realistic portrait with two people in the painting, a man and a woman.

Under the black curtain, a middle-aged man with a mustache wearing a dark red vest with white lace embroidery was at the front of the portrait. He sat on a high-backed leather chair with a very high back. The other woman was a girl in her twenties, wearing a very retro emerald green leather skirt with a gorgeous golden hair tied into a bun. The girl's perfect cheek was resting on the back of the chair, looking innocent.

There was also a row of small white cursive characters in the upper right corner of the oil painting. If you don't look closely, you will only think it is a pattern on the black curtain.

Ingres enlarged the picture, and the content of the row of white cursive characters was clearly visible:

-Margaret's sixteenth birthday record, Franklin.

Margaret? Angel remembered this name, it seemed to be the daughter of the warden.

Seeing Margaret's intimate behavior with the middle-aged man, Angel guessed that the middle-aged man might be the warden of the ladder of the prison. So this Franklin is the name of the warden? Or is Franklin the name of the painter?

Angel turned off the holographic tablet and confirmed his guess. Sure enough, the "Shepherd Milking Picture" was not in the original painting.

Why did the original "Father and Daughter Portrait" become "Shepherd Milking Picture"? Did someone change it? Or is there any other strange and wonderful reason?

Angel picked up the "Shepherd Milking Picture" and observed it carefully, and found that this painting was really just an ordinary oil painting. If there is no problem with the painting itself, then where is the other "Father and Daughter Portrait"? If someone really changed it, what was the reason for the change? Is it simply because they don't want people to see the faces of these two people?

This is too strange... Angel thought for a long time, but there was no answer, so he could only attribute it to the magic of the nightmare world.

...

After a night, Angel got up early, fed Toby, and took out the cultivation experience given to him by Sanders and began to read.

But before he could read for a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Along with the knock came the slightly excited voice of Salum: "Angel, Angel!"

Angel opened the door and saw Salum standing in front of him with a very happy expression: "Angel, you woke up a long time ago, so why don't you come up?"

"Go up? Where to?" Salum asked without thinking, and Angel was confused.

"Deck! Don't you know? We are going to the Savage Cave today! Just now at breakfast, the first mate said that we will arrive at the destination in the morning, and all the gifted people have gone to the deck! Let's go too!"

"Just go, why go to the deck?" Angel looked at Salum's tightly wrapped little body: "The deck is so cold, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Salum stretched out his hand from the pocket of his thick windbreaker, and he was wearing velvet cotton gloves on his hands. "It's okay, I'm wearing a lot anyway. We'll be at the Savage Cave soon. This is such a memorable moment. Don't you want to overlook the environment of the Savage Cave from the air?"

Overlooking the place where he will live for a long time in the future. Angel thought about this suggestion and decided to go and take a look.

So, Angel, like Salum, was fully armed and took Toby and Salum to the deck.

Along the way, Angel could see that there were constantly gifted people coming out of his house. Obviously, everyone had the same intention, wanting to have a bird's eye view of the entire Savage Cave. This was not just to satisfy curiosity, but also to observe the surrounding terrain in advance and have a general plan for future life.

After arriving at the deck, Angel saw Hook Dick in the crowd at a glance. He stood in the center of three or four people, seemed to be preaching something, patting his chest from time to time, looking complacent.

Angel glanced and retracted his gaze, and walked with Salum to the right side of the guardrail, where Nausicaa was leaning against with a cigarette. She puffed out smoke from time to time, looking blurred and sexy.

"Miss Nausicaa!" Sailum greeted happily.

Nausicaa raised her head, glanced at the two, and smiled and replied: "You are here too."

"Well, I don't know what the Savage Cave looks like. I heard that the wizard organization is built in a mysterious way, and ordinary people can't find the entrance at all." Sailum's eyes flashed with expectation: "When I was a child, my mother told me the fairy tale of the Moon Castle. Will the Savage Cave be like the Moon Castle, and only show its magnificent shape under the moonlight?"

"Who knows, maybe. I have heard rumors about wizards in the Blackberry Sea. I heard that there is a wizard organization built on the Coral Islands. I originally wanted to find this coral island, but I didn't expect to come to the Savage Cave by chance." Nausicaa replied.

"The wizards of the Coral Islands sound very dreamy." Sailum's mind began to wander again.

"The wizard organization on the Coral Islands? Are you talking about the White Coral Floating Island Academy?" Angel said.

"Uh, it seems to be this name. Why, Angel, have you heard of it?" Nausicaa asked.

Angel smiled and said, "My experience is the same as yours. I originally followed a guide to the White Coral Floating Island Academy, but I changed my route halfway and now I am also heading to the Savage Cave."

"I'm not as lucky as you, and I don't have a guide to lead me. I was just wandering around, trying to find... the White Coral Floating Island Academy." Nausicaa blew out a smoke ring: "Now that I think about it, I was quite naive. If I hadn't gained something along the way, I would probably be buried in this sea."

Recalling the experience in the Devil's Sea and the endless thunderclouds, Nausicaa's sigh was not without reason.

"Angel, you have heard of the White Coral Floating Island Academy, do you know what it is like? Is it like the Moonlight Castle, full of magical colors?" Sailum asked eagerly.

Angel shook his head: "I haven't been there either. But I have seen pictures of another wizard organization in a book. The organization is called Sky Mechanical City. It is a huge steel city suspended in the clouds. Only extraordinary life can fly to this city, and ordinary people can only look up at it from the ground forever."

As a very famous economic and trade city in the southern wizard world, Sky Mechanical City is open to all wizards, so naturally there are images circulating.

"The city in the clouds! It sounds more desirable than the academy on the coral island." Sailum's eyes twinkled, imagining that after the endless clouds were pushed away, an extremely huge city appeared at the end of the clouds, flashing a fascinating light.

In addition to the Sky Mechanical City, Angel also visited Naraku City, so he also briefly talked about the remains of the wizard city, which was named "Garden Maze" by later generations.

Wizards on the Coral Islands, steel fortresses in the clouds, and a city where mazes and gardens merged... Just imagining it was exciting.

"I don't know what the Savage Cave will be like?" Sailum was deeply convinced that as an organization ranked in the top ten in the Southern Region, the Savage Cave would definitely bring it endless shock!

But reality often goes against one's wishes.
