Section 1857: Agency

Walking into the corridor of the ruins again, it was still pitch black and the road ahead was invisible.

Although Angell could see at night, the long dark road still made people feel uneasy.

He remembered that the tree spirit seemed to have said before that there was a candlestick on the wall... Angell's eyes slowly turned to the direction of the wall, and he saw the wall-mounted candlestick surrounded by black grids.

In the darkness, Angell's eyes emitted a faint glow, and a flame ignited in the candlestick.

When the first flame lit up, it was like turning on a wonderful mechanism, and then all the candlesticks in the corridor lit up. There was a candlestick every five meters, illuminating the depths of the corridor.

"A linkage mechanism?" Angell muttered in a low voice, and without thinking too much, he walked forward.

When Angell walked about a hundred steps, his brows frowned slightly. He didn't notice it before, but after really entering the corridor, he felt something wrong.

The direction of the airflow was abnormal.

Angell was very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment. Before he stepped into the corridor, he did not feel any air flow in front of him, but when he walked forward, it seemed that a vent appeared in the depths of the corridor, just like a breeze blowing slowly on his side.

Although the wind was not strong, it gave people the illusion that the exit was in front.

Although Angell felt something was wrong, he did not stop, but walked forward quickly. According to his idea, whether it was an illusion or not, he would know if he continued to walk.

Da Da Da

The footsteps echoed in the narrow corridor. Perhaps because it was too quiet, or because the space was small and echoed, Angell seemed to hear multiple footsteps overlapping as he walked.

This abnormally depressing atmosphere lasted for ten minutes.

"It's a bit weird." Angell stopped and this thought flashed through his mind.

According to the information obtained from the tree spirit, he could reach the central laboratory of the ruins through the corridor. He had walked almost several miles in this corridor, but he had not yet reached the laboratory. It was obviously wrong.

He didn't think there were any strange things in the ruins, or that there were other extraordinary lives involved. After all, the tree spirit said that this place had never been opened since it was sealed, so there must be a basis for it. What he thought was strange was that he guessed whether there were some mechanisms in the ruins that were triggered by him.

It is normal to have mechanisms in the ruins. However, if it is really a mechanism, how did he trigger it?

Angel was a little confused for a while, and decided to continue walking forward for a distance to see if there are any clues.

After walking about a few hundred steps, Angel found another strange point: the airflow in front was getting stronger.

Does this mean that he is closer to the air outlet?

Is he about to reach the end? With this doubt, Angel walked forward again, and after walking for another two minutes, Angel saw the so-called "air outlet".

A closed door.

Angel looked at the door, was silent for a moment, walked forward and gently pushed it.

After the door was pushed open, a bright light was revealed.

Outside the door, there was a vast wasteland. In the near distance, one could still see the big tree that Angel had used nightmare to cover up before. Obviously, this was the entrance to the ruins.

He did not find the end, but instead went around in a big circle and returned to the entrance.

There was no danger throughout the whole process, which was similar to what the tree spirit had said before. Then, after experiencing this strange circle, Angel was more certain that he must have triggered some kind of mechanism.

However, how did he trigger it? Why didn't the tree spirit remind him before? Did he deliberately want to laugh at him?

Angel stood at the door, thinking quietly, and his eyes accidentally glanced at the candlestick on the wall.

In the black grid, there was a tray with patterns, and the tray contained special lamp oil that could burn for hundreds of years.

"Candlestick... Is it because of the candlestick?" Angel suddenly thought of something. He entered the ruins and only moved the candlestick.

Moreover, when one candlestick was lit, all the candlesticks were immediately lit, which was obviously a linkage mechanism. This linkage mechanism may be the main reason for triggering his "circle".

The more Angel thought about it, the more he felt it was right. Moreover, he remembered that the tree spirit had said something before: "There is a candlestick on the wall, which can be lit. But I don't think it's necessary."

The tree spirit said this to dissuade Angel from lighting the candlestick.

In other words, if the candlestick is not lit, the mechanism will not be triggered?

Angel didn't know if his guess was right, but he planned to give it a try.

He walked to the first candlestick, stretched out his hand and flicked it, and the burning light went out. And as the light of this candlestick dimmed, the lights of all other candlesticks also disappeared. The corridor returned to a dark place where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Angel decided not to do anything extra this time, nor to use the light spell, but to simply carry on with the darkness.

This time, after Angel walked more than ten steps, he clearly felt the difference from before.

He did not sense any airflow in front of him, that is, he did not step into the previous "strange circle" this time, and was really moving forward.

It seems that he guessed right. While Angel was thinking in his heart, he suddenly saw a dark shadow in front of him.

He stopped suddenly and looked carefully. With the dim light and night vision ability, he could clearly see a human figure standing in front of him.

Is it a human? But the tree spirit said that no one has come here for hundreds of years?

Although Angel was puzzled, he did not stop, but instead sped up to see what the figure was.

As Angel approached, he could clearly feel that there was no life around him, and the figure did not move.

In other words, he was either a dead thing or a dead spirit.

As Angel came near the figure, he finally confirmed the truth of the figure.

This was just a full-cover knight armor that was deliberately arranged in a human shape.

There was no extraordinary aura on the armor, it should be just an ordinary thing. However, the texture of the armor was a bit strange, as if it was not made of metal.

Although Angel did not see what the armor was made of, he did not explore it, because all his attention was now attracted by another thing.

In the center of this chest armor, a faint blood pattern can be clearly seen.

This blood pattern should be painted with some kind of paint, and there is still no energy feedback. The reason why it attracted Angel's attention was that this pattern was too familiar to Angel.

Magic pattern, and it was an alchemical magic pattern!

However, this is just a broken magic pattern, without any combination. It is just a corner of a magic pattern carved on the chest armor.

Moreover, the corners of the magic pattern that appeared have no connection, just like a beginner in magic pattern, recording the meaning of each magic pattern corner.
