"We went to the courtyard! ......" pushed open the wooden door in front of her, Serana, who was still slightly excited, her face suddenly collapsed, although she had some psychological preparations in advance, but when the expectations were disappointed and the ruthless reality came into view, she still couldn't completely suppress the shock in her heart, and said dumbfounded: "Oh no! What happened here? Turning everything around...... The whole place looks ...... Lifeless. The pen, the fun, and the pavilion www.biquge.info make us look like pioneers. ”

The courtyard in front of Serana and Asa...... Or if it could be called a courtyard like this, it was so dilapidated that it was simply unseemly, with ruins and broken walls, many decorative stone sculptures were smashed to pieces, and the trees and vegetation were almost all dead, and the flower beds that Serana said had planted all the alchemy raw materials were gone, and only the death knell and nightshade and other plants that grew in dark and damp places were still alive, and the rest were weeds.

"Well, isn't that obvious......" Asa sighed, picked a dead branch casually, shook his head, and said, "It seems that you are thinking of a mistake, your father not only came, but also smashed this place." What do you think? What else could happen to this courtyard? ”

Serana nodded slightly gloomily and said, "If I had to guess, I think from the moment my mother fled this castle, my father began to rage. I knew him, and anything that brought back memories of his mother was ruined.

Then he cut it off like that.

It looks like this. I guess he wants to let go of the burdens of the past. Maybe if he stays with us a little longer, he'll discover his strengths. ”

As she spoke, Serana walked up to a high platform wistfully, and as she stroked the wooden railing of the platform, she said, "This path once led to the hall of the castle, and it looks like my father has sealed it. I often walk here after dinner. It was really beautiful back then. She pointed to a gate sealed with rock and dirt, which she thought was the link to the castle in the first place.

Shaking her head, Serana followed Asa as she approached the flowerbed, and said, "That's what I told you...... Mother's Garden. It...... Once cared for hundreds of years by a master gardener, can you imagine how beautiful this place once was? ”

"......," Asa didn't answer, and didn't look back at Serana's expression, for it must have been a sad look that would break a man's heart. He just whispered, "Since this place has been turned upside down by your father, we shouldn't need to stay here anymore, right?" ”

Serana was silent for a while, and when she was about to nod, she saw a reflection in the corner of the garden, and after taking a closer look at what was reflected, she couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly ran forward to pick up the thing, which turned out to be a disc decorated with a full moon pattern. Seeing Serana's surprised look, Asa couldn't help but wonder and said, "What's wrong?" What's weird about this thing? ”

"Wait a minute!" With the full moon ornament in her arms, Serana scurried out of the garden and sprinted straight towards a strange building in the middle of the courtyard. I saw that this thing was triangular, and there was a pattern like a time scale around it, and Serana followed the circle of patterns, pointed to the pattern on the ground and said in surprise: "Sure enough! This is indeed the Full Moon Crown! And there is indeed something wrong with this moondial, not only the [Full Moon Crown] but also several other ornaments are missing! The dial is crooked, too! If I hadn't been lucky enough to pick up this [Full Moon Crown] just now, I wouldn't even know that those accessories could be removed. There's got to be something in there, maybe my mother wants to tell us something? ”

"Uh, moondial? Is this a moondial? "Not much is known about the moondial, except that it is an instrument used to observe the moon at night, and similar to a sundial, it is a tool that can be used to indicate the time. At the same time, the moondial is closely associated with lunar gardening, especially nocturnal flowering plants, thanks to which Asa has seen them in some comprehensive gardening books.

Well? How can Asa, you ask, read books on gardening? Of course, this is not what he wants to see, but Ah Ran, a dead old man, likes gardening but is not very proficient, and one day he whimsically built a flower garden in the tower room of the chief mage room where he lived, and it turned out to be miserable! Asa couldn't stand it anymore, so he reluctantly read some of these books and helped him take care of the small alchemy garden in his room.

Seeing Serana nodding to confirm that this was a moondial, Asa scratched the back of her head and said helplessly, "Okay, what is the difference between this moon phase?" Otherwise, I don't know where to start. ”

"Well, as far as I know, this is the only one left. The previous owner of the castle had put a sundial in the courtyard, but it was clear that my mother had no interest in it. She convinces the Elven Craftsman to make some changes, and the sundial becomes this moondial. You can see the moon waxing and waning on the panel, Mather and Sekuda......"

By the time Serana began to explain the characteristics of the gods represented behind each moon phase, Asa had already raised her hand in surrender. Shouting: "Stop, stop! I don't understand it at all! Is it useful to say so much? What should I pay attention to? ”

Serana was stunned by Asa's question, and then said, "Well, the question is...... What can you do with this moondial? To be honest, I never understood why my mother couldn't do things neatly. Why are you so complicated! But I don't know why she just likes such a mystery, which is completely different from her, is this the so-called turnip greens, each has its own love? ”

It seemed that Serana did have mixed feelings for the mother, and Asa shook her head and smiled wryly, "You just have to tell me what I should do to it." ”

"It's hard to say......" When she said this, Serana subconsciously hugged the [Full Moon Crown] in her arms, and the touch in her arms made her feel inspired, and blurted out: "Maybe if we find the missing ornaments back, we can figure it out." ”

"Uh, but where to find it?" Asa regretted it as soon as she asked, and sure enough, Serana immediately took the disc in her hand and gently knocked Asa on the head, and sneered: "You are stupid, the others must be around like this one in my hand!" Look around for the missing parts, these are masterful crafts! Even in the midst of the chaos, it stands out. ”

"I hope your dad and his subordinates are blind and don't know how to appreciate the master-level crafts you are talking about~"

"You're just looking for it! Don't keep talking about frustration, no! ”

Seeing that Serana picked up the disc in her hand and was about to hit someone again, Asa hurriedly hugged her head and said in a panic: "Yes, yes, the little one will go find it immediately!" ”

Thankfully, although Asa is full of mouth cannon attributes, he does not have the god-level skill of "crow's mouth", which also shows that Hakong and his subordinates do not appreciate the ability and mood of "master-level crafts", Asa found an ornament on the side of a dilapidated pool in the courtyard and on the floor next to a table and chair on the courtyard railing, which were respectively [Half Moon Ridge] and [Crescent Moon Ridge] by Serana.

Serana counted them, and added the [Full Moon Crown] in her hand, and the missing ornaments were all here.

"Now we'll see when we put these things back...... Won't anything change! As she spoke, Serana nervously placed the two ornament discs Asa had found into their respective positions.

After putting the last piece of the [Full Moon Crown] away, Serana looked at the moondial nervously with some anticipation......

A second passed......

Two seconds passed......

Just as the third second Serana was about to let out a discouraged sigh, the whole moondial finally made the sound of the mechanism starting to activate, and Serana laughed and clapped her hands like a child, "Great! My mother is really smart, I should say very smart! ”

"Yes, yes, your mother is smart, you're smart too, right, it's time to go, right?" The "careful-eyed" Asa seemed to still mind that he hadn't reacted to being rewarded by Serana just now, and rolled his eyes and urged. By this time, the moondial had turned in the other direction, and the dial had begun to sink, revealing a staircase passage.

"Hey, be careful! As a matter of course, I've never been to the tunnels, but I bet they must have made it to the bottom of the castle hall in order to access the tower's ruins. Seeing Asa looking at herself with a look of "I've always been very careful, only you are revisiting the old place", Serana couldn't help sighing, and said helplessly and worriedly: "Okay, let's go, at least we are closer to my mother's hidden secret, she is acting more sneakily than I thought, I really don't know what she is hiding?" ”
