Chapter 2964 Heart in a Birdcage
The difficulty of climbing down was even higher than Angel had imagined.
When climbing up, at least you could see the crack in the wall, determine the place to land, and plan the route forward. However, when climbing down, because of the unevenness of the wall, you can't see the situation below, and you are lucky to find the crack in the wall to land smoothly.
The only thing that comforted Angel was that there was a faint red light escaping from the study of the Earl of Black Tea, and with the guidance of the red light, he would not lose his way.
At first, Angel climbed down smoothly, but as time passed, his physical strength began to increase sharply.
But what worried Angel more was that he vaguely heard the rustling of leaves in the atrium.
This seemed to mean that there was a wind brewing.
When his physical strength weakened and his grip became weaker, another gust of wind would definitely be a disaster for him.
Angel was still lucky at first, but when his long-dormant spiritual sense suddenly woke up and frantically warned Angel, he understood... the arrival of the wind was inevitable.
Moreover, the wind that formed this time was definitely not a breeze.
Angel's expression was serious, and he had already started thinking about the strategy to deal with it.
But before he could think of any strategy, a new change occurred.
The air around him suddenly became moist, and a drop of rain fell gently near Angel. The black bricks with a little dust slid down a new mark...
It's raining?
Angel looked up and looked at the sky.
The night covered the dark clouds, and nothing could be seen. The only thing Angel saw was the rabbit Cha Cha poking his head out and whispering anxiously to him.
Angel couldn't hear what Cha Cha was saying, but he could guess that it was nothing more than asking him to give up first and find another way.
But... he could already feel a red light under him, which meant that he was very close to the study. At this time, Angel was reluctant to give up.
He was silent for a moment, put away his nervous expression, raised his head and smiled at Cha Cha with ease.
Under Chacha's gaze, Angel waved the saddle behind him and pointed to the location of the study below and the pond in the courtyard.
This was to tell Chacha that he had his own decision.
If he couldn't reach the study, he would find a way to take advantage of the wind and fly to the vicinity of the courtyard below.
Angel's relaxed expression slightly soothed the rabbit Chacha's worries. It didn't speak again, but climbed the edge of the wall and continued to watch Angel.
After Angel lowered his head, his expression became solemn again.
Feeling the increasingly strong warning of his spiritual sense, Angel was silent for a moment and finally made a decision.
He didn't climb down again, but climbed horizontally quickly.
Climbing down is difficult to move quickly because you have to pay attention to the cracks in the wall from time to time, but climbing horizontally is much simpler. The cracks in the wall are basically in a line and can be easily seen.
He moved sideways so quickly, of course, not to give up.
But he was ready to gamble.
Facing the coming storm, Angel now has only two choices, either give up or continue.
Angel didn't want to give up, but he knew it was difficult to continue, so he made a bold choice: to continue with giving up as the ultimate goal.
He had to consider both hands. On the premise of making sure that he could give up safely, try to continue.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to... take advantage of the wind.
He planned to try to glide into the study. If he didn't succeed, at least he could glide and land safely.
The reason why he had to crawl sideways now was because the wind blew from left to right. Before, he was on the right side of the red light. If he waved the saddle to glide here, he would definitely fly to the right and could not glide into the study. So, he had to crawl to the left side of the red light now.
Angel used all his strength and crawled sideways crazily. Although he had come to the left side of the red light at this time, he still didn't stop. He knew very well that the farther he climbed, the more time he had to adjust his body in the air.
A minute later, Angel stopped.
He wanted to continue climbing, but the raindrops were falling more and more, the wind was getting stronger, and most importantly, he had no strength left.
However, Angel still resisted his fatigue and looked up at the terrace.
As expected, he saw the rabbit Cha Cha still on the terrace.
He tried his best to suppress his panting, smiled at the rabbit Cha Cha, and then pouted at Cha Cha, signaling it to hide in the house quickly.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the rabbit Cha Cha could easily be blown off the terrace.
In Angel's firm eyes, the rabbit Cha Cha finally nodded and retracted his head.
Seeing that the rabbit Cha Cha had not stuck his head out again, Angel lowered his head and gasped.
Before he could breathe steadily, a gust of wind blew over.
This was a precursor to a storm, and it was also the wind Angel was waiting for!
If faced with a strong wind, even if Angel could glide, he might be blown away in an instant, and there would be no time to adjust. So, what he was waiting for was the gentle wind before the strong wind.
Angel did not hesitate and jumped directly.
When Angel jumped, he did not notice that the rabbit Cha Cha on the terrace quietly poked his head out again.
When Cha Cha poked his head out, he saw Angel's leap of faith. It was so shocked by this scene that it covered its mouth.
You know, with Angel's current body size, such a leap is basically the same as jumping off a cliff.
Isn't he afraid that he will lose his life by accident?
Under the worried eyes of Rabbit Cha Cha, Angel was constantly adjusting the direction in mid-air.
Gliding is easy, and so is gliding with the wind, but it is difficult to adjust the flying direction while gliding with the wind without the help of professional tools.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult to control the direction with such a simple saddle.
But fortunately, Angel is not an ordinary person.
When Angel was an apprentice, in order to climb the Sky Tower, he seriously practiced a lot of routines, and the core of these routines is called: tricks.
Tricks are not a trick, but a collection of a large number of level 0 and level 1 tricks. Such as greasy tricks, spikes, feathers, fireworks, galloping, sudden light, etc., all belong to tricks. These small tricks like magic can play a big role as long as they are properly combined. For example, the sudden light blinds the eyes, the greasy trick makes people lose balance, and then the fireworks ignite the oil fire. Although the routine is simple, the effect is very good.
Among the magic tricks, there is a trick called: Feather Fall. It can make the body lighter and easier to control when falling from a height.
Although Angell couldn't use magic at this time, he still had the experience of Feather Fall.
Using the saddle to glide is actually similar to Feather Fall. The saddle is filled with air to form an air bag. Angell is in the air bag, just like applying Feather Fall, and his body becomes lighter.
Then, Angell began to use the experience of Feather Fall to control his body and try to adjust the balance and direction.
Perhaps with the blessing of spiritual perception, Angell was unusually calm. Every fine-tuning smoothly led the direction to the red light window.
A few seconds later, Angell's "glider" rushed into the earl's study under the gaze of Rabbit Cha Cha.
Looking at this scene, Rabbit Cha Cha was relieved.
"It seems to be really simple. No wonder he has always been so confident." Rabbit Cha Cha muttered and looked back at the distance.
The black wind was howling and heavy rain was coming.
Rabbit Cha Cha shuddered, quickly retreated back to the main building, and ran down quickly.
It and Angell agreed that if Angell appeared from the study window within ten minutes, it meant that there was no half-length mirror in the study. They would have to find a way to enter the treasure house.
So, it must now quickly return to the first floor and go to the atrium to pay attention to Angell's movements.
Of course, if Angell does not appear in ten minutes, it means that he has returned to the human world.
This... is also a good thing.
...
When Rabbit Cha Cha quickly went downstairs, Angell had already rushed into the study of Earl Black Tea.
The first thing he saw when he came to the study was a heart that was emitting a hazy red light and was constantly beating. It was placed on the desk and covered by a golden birdcage.
I think this is why the study is emitting red light.
Whose heart is this? Why is it glowing? Why is it still beating? These doubts emerged in Angell's mind the first time he saw the heart.
And these doubts that emerged in his mind also made Angel keep approaching his heart, trying to understand it further.
Just as Angel was about to fly to the desk along the saddle glider, his peripheral vision was flashed by another red light.
Looking along the peripheral vision.
Angel was stunned.
On the other side of the study, in a place similar to an experimental table, Angel saw a mirror reflecting the red light of the table.
This is a half-length mirror.
The shape is similar to a portrait, and the frame is made of ancient platinum. This material is very low-key and even a little cheap in the wizarding world, but it exudes a hazy but mysterious brilliance at this time.
Combined with the kelp silver mirror surrounded by flowing light, the whole mirror looks full of mysterious beauty.
The first time Angel saw this mirror, he couldn't look away.
He can say with certainty that this mirror is the mirror he refined. However, he doesn't know why it appears here.
But what he knows is that this mirror must be the core of this strange omen.
He even had a vague feeling that once he touched the mirror, this alchemical omen would end. This was a feeling from the dark, and also a hint from his spiritual sense.
In other words, this feeling was absolutely correct.
After experiencing the strange black tea forest and a cautious lurking, he finally welcomed the dawn of the end of this omen.
Fortunately, he didn't have to consider the treasure house, and found the half-body mirror in the study.
However, Angel now faced a choice.
Continue to control the saddle to fly to the heart covered by the golden bird, or control the saddle to fly to the half-body mirror?
Angel's heart was inclined to fly to the birdcage. He was full of curiosity about the heart, and this curiosity even overwhelmed the excitement of finding the half-body mirror.
But for this reason, Angel turned without hesitation and flew to the half-body mirror.
Sanders once warned Angel that if he was sure, powerful or had a way out, he could explore the unknown and be curious about the unknown.
But if there was nothing, then restrain his curiosity about the unknown.
Otherwise, curiosity will not only kill cats, but also people.
This is what happened to Angel at this moment. He was not sure that he could study the heart, nor did he have the power to control it. As for the way out... In the strange omen that the body could not be freely controlled, even if the half-body mirror was beside him, it could not be considered a way out.
Moreover, Angel's intuition told him that this beating heart might have a secret.
Once it was contaminated, he might be exposed.
It didn't matter if he was exposed, but Angel was afraid of hurting Cha Cha.
Wasn't it because he was so cautious along the way not to hurt Cha Cha? Therefore, Angel decisively chose to give up.
He flew towards the half-length mirror.
Just when he was about one meter close to the half-length mirror, and hadn't even touched it, a halo flashed.
Angel and the half-length mirror disappeared in the stream of light.
...
And as the half-length mirror disappeared, the tall and thin figure in a cave seemed to notice something.
At the same time, an eye suddenly opened on the beating heart.
The dark eyes looked around quietly, and finally fixed on the place where the half-length mirror disappeared.
"No energy, no footprints, no foreign pheromones... The half-length mirror disappeared?"
"Appearing and disappearing, is this some kind of rule?"
A faint voice echoed in the study. If the rabbit Cha Cha was here, it would definitely find that this voice came from the Earl of Black Tea!
...
Angel opened his eyes.
Looking around, he was no longer in the study full of red light, but returned to the wizard world full of familiar atmosphere.
Angel glanced at the half-length mirror floating in the air and turned his eyes away.
He began to analyze the body, mind space and memory.
The hat that the rabbit Cha Cha lent him had disappeared, and his body had returned to normal from the thumb man. The shrinking curse of the Black Tea Forest did not feedback to him, the magic vortex of the mind space was functioning normally, and his memory was not obscured...
Until then, Angel confirmed that he had escaped from the strange omen.
"I don't know if Cha Cha escaped successfully?" Angel murmured in a low voice, and shook his head violently.
This is just an alchemical omen, which should not affect the real Cha Cha.
Moreover, just like the last time he refined the key to the Clear Sky Poetry Room, he encountered Augustine ten thousand years ago. Maybe this omen is just a microcosm of time.
Thinking of this, Angel was slightly relieved.
However, this omen did make Angel think about the alchemical omen in a new way... Perhaps, he should refine some more alchemical works, some of which are ordinary alchemical works, and some of which are alchemical works after the Mad Hatter's coronation, to make some comparisons of the omen.
However, even if he really wants to make a comparison, it is not now.
Angel temporarily suppressed this idea and prepared to take a look at the half-length mirror refined this time.
There is no doubt that under the coronation of the Black Hat, this half-length mirror must have some special effects... Angel hopes that the special effects should not affect the responsibility of the mirror domain channel. Otherwise, he will probably have to refine it again.
While Angel muttered, he raised his head and looked at the half-length mirror.
However, when he looked at the half-length mirror seriously, he was stunned.
This half-length mirror was reflecting a red light at this moment, and this red light, which was constantly filled with a mysterious aura, illuminated the entire secret meeting room...
No, in Angel's perception of the geometric lock, the red light was not only all over the secret meeting room, but even the entire Qingkong Poetry Room was shrouded in your red light.
When Angel perceived this scene, his heart skipped a beat.
It would be fine if there was red light inside the Qingkong Poetry Room, but if there was also red light outside, it would be troublesome...
