Chapter 1923 The Mystery of the Armor

"Let's talk about it after we go inside the ruins." Rhine looked at the open door of the ruins: "Come to think of it, I haven't been to this ruins for a long time."

Angel is currently the temporary owner of this ruins, so he walks in front as a guide.

After entering the ruins, there is a deep corridor filled with darkness.

Angel motioned for everyone to follow him forward.

During this process, Sanders noticed that there were candlesticks on the wall, but Angel didn't light them.

Why didn't he light them? Although everyone present had the ability to see at night, Angel should have lit the candlesticks from a courtesy perspective. After all, the current ruler of the Savage Cave and one of the three ancestors are here.

While Sanders was thinking silently, the tree spirit beside him suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I don't understand why the builder of this relic designed it this way. There are candlesticks here, but they cannot be lit, otherwise it will enter an infinite loop. It's better not to design candlesticks, which is completely unnecessary."

"Since it is a mechanism, it is naturally to lure intruders to trigger it." Angel: "If you design candlesticks, intruders will subconsciously light them, which will trigger the mechanism."

The tree spirit shook his head: "You live here, you should have discovered it. Not only can the candlesticks not be lit in this corridor, even a little light is not allowed to exist, otherwise it will enter a loop. In this case, not placing candlesticks will make it easier to confuse intruders. Placing candlesticks may even backfire."

Angel thought about it and felt that what the tree spirit said was right. What he meant was that there was something fishy here, and if you deliberately set up candlesticks, people might find clues.

The tree spirit: "Moreover, if you want to lure the intruder to trigger the mechanism, then this mechanism must be extremely dangerous, and even triggering it will kill him. But even if the mechanism on this corridor is triggered, it will only enter an infinite loop, and you can still walk out of the ruins from the gate, which does not conform to the principle of lure."

Angel also thought about this problem, but he didn't figure it out at the time. Now that the tree spirit said so, he didn't know how to answer.

Rhine said: "In fact, there is no need to think about these problems. After all, this is just a relic that drifted from the void to the shore. Maybe the original design of this corridor would cause death if the mechanism was triggered? It's just because of some external factors that the threat of this mechanism has been slowly worn away over time."

Rhine's guess also makes sense. However, it is hard to say whether this is true or not.

But since Rhine told them not to think about these trivial matters, Angel naturally shut up. Although the tree spirit was still chattering, no one responded, so he slowly stopped.

Sanders listened to the conversation between Angel and the tree spirit, and understood why Angel didn't light the lamp. In their conversation, Sanders actually felt that this corridor was a bit weird, but as Rhine said, it was just a small matter and there was no need to think deeply. So Sanders also put this weirdness behind his mind.

In the dark, the four of them walked forward quietly. Because the tree spirit was just a spiritual clone, only the footsteps of three people echoed in the silent space.

"It's a dark corridor, you don't talk, and you only hear footsteps. Don't you think it's creepy?" The tree spirit rested for a while and broke the silence again.

However, this topic without nutrition did not get anyone's response.

However, the words of the tree spirit made Angel think of the first time he came here.

At that time, in this deep corridor, because it was trapped in an infinite loop, perhaps because the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Angel heard a lot of messy footsteps.

At that time, Angel didn't think it was a big deal, but now thinking back, it's really a bit weird.

"I always feel that this corridor hides some secrets?" The tree spirit was still muttering, "Tizarro said that there is a hidden room in this relic. Could it be hidden in this corridor?"

The topic of the tree spirit caught Angel's attention. When he was thinking about whether there was this possibility, Rhine said unhappily: "You said this when the relic was sealed last time. Now you say it again?"

"Didn't you find the hidden room at that time?" The tree spirit pointed its mouth in the direction of Angel: "Angel may have found something. After all, the first owner of this relic was an alchemist like Angel."

"I said this to give Angel a hint."

After the tree spirit said this, he looked at Angel with a smile: "You have been living here for a while. Have you found any information about the hidden room?"

Sanders and Rhine also looked at Angel.

Angel shook his head: "No information."

"But..." Angel suddenly stopped and his expression fell into thought.

"But what?" The tree spirit's eyes lit up. He was actually very curious about this hidden room, and that was why he had suggested that Angel choose this ruins as a temporary residence.

In the curious eyes of everyone, Angel slowly said: "But, I think it may be related to the broken magic patterns on the knight's armor? Unfortunately, those broken magic patterns are too broken, and it is difficult to repair them."

"Knight armor?" The tree spirit showed a puzzled look: "What are you talking about? What knight armor?"

Angel pointed to where he was currently staying: "The knight armor here was deliberately arranged in a human shape. When I walked here, I thought someone had entered the ruins in advance. As a result, it was just an empty shell of armor."

Angel looked back as he spoke, only to find that the tree spirit still looked confused, and even Rhine, who was standing beside him, looked at him with doubtful eyes.

Angel also found something wrong at this time. The tree spirit and Rhine seemed to know nothing about the knight armor?

"The knight armor you are talking about is the one you asked me about before?" Sanders broke the silence. Although he had never been to this relic, Angel had asked him about the knight armor before, so he knew something about it.

Angel nodded.

"You said there was a knight armor here before?" Rhine frowned: "But I remember that when we sealed this relic before, there was nothing here."

The tree spirit also nodded: "Yes, there is nothing. Can you tell me in detail what happened to the knight armor?"

Angel was also confused now. It turned out that the knight armor did not exist before?

He had talked to the tree spirit about the hidden room before, but Angel forgot to mention the knight armor at that time... Now think about it, did he really forget, or was some kind of force interfering with him?

Angel shook his head in his heart and denied being interfered with. If he was really interfered with, he would later tell Sanders why the knight armor was normal.

"Angel?" Seeing that Angel had been silent for a long time, the tree spirit couldn't help but call again.

Under the call of the tree spirit, Angel came back to his senses. He considered the words and told the story of finding the knight armor before.

After listening to Angel's words, the tree spirit and Rhine looked at each other.

Just from Angel's words, it was indeed a bit weird. At the beginning, it was the tree spirit and Rhine who came together to seal the ruins, and they knew all the furnishings inside.

There was absolutely nothing in the corridor.

But now Angel said that there was an empty shell of knight armor, which was arranged in a human form and blocked the corridor?

What happened here?

"Where is the knight's armor now?" asked the tree spirit.

"I wanted to study the broken magic pattern on the armor, so I took the armor away from here and put it in the study." Angel took another step: "I'll take you there to see it."

Angel didn't think the knight's armor was weird before, but now after listening to the tree spirit and Rhine, he suddenly felt a creepy feeling.

What secrets are hidden in this knight's armor?

...

After arriving in the study, Rhine, the tree spirit and Sanders all saw the knight's armor that Angel had put aside.

It was no longer arranged in a human shape, but was "dismembered" and placed casually on the table.

"Sir Rhine, is there any problem with this armor?" Angel asked.

Rhine pondered for a moment and shook his head: "This armor is very ordinary. From the perspective of material and effect, there is nothing to say. The only thing I don't understand is the broken magic pattern on it."

For the broken magic pattern, not only Rhine didn't understand it, but Angel didn't crack it either.

"The more normal this knight's armor looks, the weirder it feels to me." The tree spirit also said at this time. He thought he would find some secrets on the knight's armor, but this knight's armor was more ordinary than he thought. If it weren't for the broken magic patterns on it, the tree spirit wouldn't even think it was an extraordinary thing.

"The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong, but I can't say what's strange." The tree spirit shook his head: "Forget it, don't think about other things. At least we have to confirm one thing first, where did this knight's armor come from?"

The tree spirit frowned and murmured in a low voice: "Could it be that what Tizarro said is right, there is really a hidden room in this ruins. Did this knight's armor come out of the hidden room?"

"Or, in the hundreds of years since the ruins were sealed, someone has come to this ruins?"
