Chapter 3719 Dark Corner
Chapter 3718 Dark Corner
When Bonnet said "dark corner", both Sisley and Angel looked puzzled.
Vignette... what is it?
Is it some mysterious organization?
Faced with the doubts of Angel and Sisley, Bonnet shook her head gently: "The Dark Corner is not an organization, but I don't really know what it is..."
"All I know is that dark corners are related to fashion monsters."
Angel frowned: "Dark corners are related to fashion monsters? What you want to say is that fashion monsters come from dark corners? Or do you mean that dark corners create fashion monsters?"
Bonette did not answer directly, but said: "When I first learned about the dark corner, I also asked the noble knight what the dark corner was."
After hearing Bonette's question, the noble knight was silent for a long time before replying: "What is the dark corner? Why was it born? Where is it? This is a question that has troubled many people. No one can answer."
"And we know very little about dark corners. Because everyone who enters dark corners never comes out again."
At that time, Bonette heard this and looked at the records in the file: "But didn't you say that this child... came from a dark corner?"
The noble knight nodded: "Yes, he comes from the dark corner."
"This does not conflict with what I just said, because no one who has entered the dark corner in this world has ever come out again. And that child was originally born in the dark corner..."
So, the origin of that mysterious child is: a person born in the dark corner? Or, monster?
The noble knight: "He is a human being. Our guess is that he may be a child born in a dark corner by someone who mistakenly entered a dark corner."
"But we don't know whether this guess is true. We once asked the child, and his answer was that from the moment he could remember, he had never seen anyone in a dark corner."
And before he could remember, there was probably someone there, otherwise how would he have grown up?
But again, no one knows the situation of the dark corners, everything is their guess.
Bonette: "Since that mysterious child comes from a dark corner, he should know what's going on in the dark corner, right?"
In this case, why do the noble knights still say that they know very little about dark corners?
Facing Bonette's question, the noble knight said softly: "We did learn some information about the dark corners from the child. But this information is basically meaningless."
"Meaningless information? Why?" Bonnet didn't understand.
There was helplessness in the eyes of the noble knight: "According to the child, the dark corners are filled with endless corridors, various dim lights, and houses that look similar but are different."
"There is no concept of the earth there. He seems to have been trapped in a huge building. Even if he finds a window and looks out, he can only see other rooms or another dark corridor."
"This is the information he knows about dark corners. It doesn't actually help us in exploring dark corners..."
Speaking of this, the noble knight suddenly changed his voice: "Actually, he is not helpless. He once mentioned that he found a glowing light group in a room in a dark corner."
"He saw with his own eyes that the light group slowly took shape and turned into... a fitting doll."
The fitting doll is also one of the fashion monsters.
"Before, there was a speculation in the fashion magic circle that fashion monsters may come from dark corners. Now, through his testimony, it is almost certain that dark corners are closely related to fashion monsters."
The origins of fashion monsters and where do they live? These are the answers that fashion magicians are diligently pursuing.
Now, through the narration of this mysterious child, they have the possibility to further understand the dark corners and fashion monsters.
The importance of the mysterious child is evident.
…
After listening to Bonnet's story about the dark corner, Angel and Sisley's questions remained unsolved.
What exactly are vignettes? On the contrary, it is even more confusing.
However, Bonette has already told all the secret information she knows, and she can't find out if she asks again. Angel could only give up temporarily and focus on the mysterious child.
"How did you confirm that he came from the dark corner? Did you see him coming out of the dark corner with your own eyes?"
Bonette: "I don't know, but the noble knight said that someone saw him suddenly appearing in a corner. And that corner was originally a blind spot, unable to hide people, and without any entrance or exit."
Angel: "So, the entrance and exit of the dark corner is in the corner?"
Bonette thought for a while and shook her head: "You can't say that. No one knows where the entrance and exit of the dark corner are. All I know is that if someone disappears suddenly, and this disappearance may be in front of others... then He has probably entered a dark corner."
Since it suddenly disappeared, it entered a dark corner.
Then conversely infer that if a person suddenly appears without warning, then he most likely comes from a dark corner.
Fashion monsters appear without warning, and the mysterious child also appears without warning.
Angel probably understood what Bonnet meant. In a sense, the dark corner is probably a special space...
However, what Angel didn't understand was that if it was a special space, why couldn't he find it when he used God's perspective to investigate it?
Angel couldn't figure it out and simply stopped thinking about it.
Let’s get back to the topic: “Why is that child being tracked by the Fashion Guild? Also, where is he now?”
Bonette didn't hide anything, she told what she knew about the situation——
At that time, as soon as this mysterious child came out of the dark corner, he was discovered by people from the Dark Round Table and brought back.
However, the Knights did not expect that the Dark Round Table would be filled with a large number of spies from the Fashion Guild.
Those spies informed the Fashion Guild about the child's situation.
The importance of this child from a dark corner goes without saying. After the Feng Shang Guild learned about it, they immediately sent a large number of personnel to track him down.
At that time, the child sneaked out while the guard was not paying attention.
It even went to the surface through the sewer.
And the place where he came out happened to be the performance venue of Asia Circus.
Looking at the colorful circus layout, he was attracted, and then entered the circus to watch the performance...
Bonnet: "What happened next is what Sisley told us."
The followers of the Guild of Style arrived, and Sisley protected him because of a moment of weakness, so the Circus Asia was tragically implicated.
A complicated look flashed in Sisley's eyes, and he took a deep breath: "...After that, where did this child go? Where is he now?"
Bonette: "Under your protection, the Fashion Guild did not find the child. However, the noble knight left a mark on the other party very early. By sensing the mark, he came to the surface, found him, and brought him to the surface. Bringing back the underground neighborhood.”
"It's just that as soon as the noble knight brought him back to the Dark Round Table, he mysteriously disappeared... and disappeared mysteriously in front of everyone."
Sisley was stunned: "Disappeared?"
Bonnet nodded: "Yes, even the mark sensor couldn't sense it. Later, the noble knight sent a large number of people to look for his traces, but they couldn't find any traces."
"In the end, I had no choice but to give up. According to the judgment of the Knights, he should have been captured by the dark corner, or in other words, returned to the dark corner."
"Anyway, there was no news from him again."
After all, according to him, his coming out of the dark corner was an accident. He just turned a corner and appeared in the present world from the endless corridor.
When he returns to the dark corner again, it is basically impossible to get out of the dark corner. After all, not every turn is an exit.
After listening to Bonnet's story, Sisley was stunned on the spot.
He was thinking about the person he wanted to find, but in the end, he wasn't here at all. Even the people from the Dark Round Table don't know how to find each other.
Sisley smiled bitterly.
The only thing that gave him some solace was...
He once resented that child. After protecting him, he just patted his butt and left like a heartless person... But now it seems that it's not that he just patted his butt and left, but that he has no way to return to the world. .
Although this consolation did not make Sisley less angry, at least he felt less resentful in his heart.
However, because he learned the truth, he became more desperate.
He originally thought that finding the child would be able to untie the knot in his heart. But now it seems that this is almost impossible...can't even find anyone? How to untie heart knots.
Sisley sat against the wall again.
However, before he was affected by Bonnet's characteristics, but this time, it was the despair in his heart that made him collapse directly to the ground.
Looking at Sisley's lifeless look, Angel sighed softly and snapped his fingers.
The nightmare node instantly poured into Sisley's eyebrows, temporarily blocking his negative emotions.
After doing all this, Angel looked at the text column.
The side mission "The Hidden Corner" was completed quietly.
However, only the first round of tasks was completed.
Several rows of new text are being displayed on the text bar:
"The side mission "The Hidden Corner" has been completed."
"Receive your reward. Y/N."
Angel did not click on the reward immediately to claim it, but left it for now. Anyway, you can click Confirm at any time on the text field.
His eyes looked at the characters "hidden corner".
Before, Angel still didn't understand why the name of this mission was so strange, but now he understood.
The hidden corner actually implies that the child comes from a "dark corner".
Angel sighed deeply in his heart, and continued to look down at the new information displayed in the text column——
"Start a new side mission "The Lost Knight"."
"Mission summary: The appearance of the dark corner makes you feel suspicious, and you decide to explore the truth about the dark corner. And how to find the truth about the dark corner? Perhaps we can start with the disappeared former noble knight."
"Mission goal: to find the truth behind the disappearance of the former noble knight."
This mission...is a side mission in the second round.
Just an overview of the mission confused Angel a little: this time it seemed that it was no longer dominated by Sisley's story, but by Angel's emotions.
He was indeed a little surprised by the dark corner, and he also had the idea of exploring the truth about the dark corner.
Unexpectedly, this emotional orientation was captured by the power of the fairyland and completed the second round of tasks.
It has to be said that Wonderland missions are very malleable.
This is probably... a sandbox mission?
…
Angel looked at Bonnet: "You said before that the former noble knight disappeared? Can you tell me in detail?"
Bonnet nodded and briefly stated the information she knew.
From Bonnet's narration, we can know that.
The former noble knight came to the Knights to inquire about the identity of the child, and soon disappeared.
His disappearance was very abrupt.
At the beginning, the Knights even speculated whether he had entered the dark corner.
But then something happened that made the Knights overturn this speculation.
They found a letter left by the former noble knight.
This letter was sent to his friends before he disappeared. Let's not talk about the greetings in the letter. At the end of the letter, the former noble knight clearly mentioned: I will go on a long journey in the near future, and the return date is uncertain, don't worry.
From this, it can be determined that the former noble knight left in a planned way, not "suddenly" as they thought.
Since it was a planned departure, it has nothing to do with the dark corner.
People who disappeared because of the dark corner disappeared suddenly without any signs, which is different from the former noble knight.
However, although they ruled out the suspicion of Dark Corner, they still did not find out where the former noble knight had gone. Three years had passed, and the task of finding the former noble knight ordered by the Dark King had not been completed.
The current speculation of the Knights is that the former noble knight may have gone to other cities.
After all, his letter clearly mentioned "traveling far away".
If he really went to other cities, it would be normal not to find him. No matter how strong the power of the Dark Round Table is, it only radiates within the scope of Modern City. There is no way to go further away.
The above is Bonette's story.
After listening to it, Angel was not very impressed by the judgment of the Dark Round Table.
They believed that the disappearance of the former noble knight had nothing to do with Dark Corner.
But through the overview of the second round of side quests, it can be known that his disappearance is definitely related to Dark Corner.
However, the judgment of the Dark Round Table is not without reference value. Their judgment is based on the letter of "traveling far away".
They believe that once the former noble knight left a letter, it must have nothing to do with Dark Corner. Because the entrance to the dark corner appears without any sign, and there is no time for you to write a letter.
But think about it from another angle. If the former noble knight really entered the dark corner and left a letter, does it mean that he has cracked the pattern of the entrance to the dark corner?
If so.
Angel understood why the second round of side quests would be related to this missing knight.
