vs 117 Arrival at the Savage Cave (Part I)
Ingres's steps are frozen, and the holographic projection restores all the objects and environments in sight at that time in a panoramic mode. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ingres didn't pay any attention to the bits and pieces of oil paintings around him, and all his eyes were on the oil painting with a black tone.
It was a realistic portrait of two people, a man and a woman.
Under the black curtain, a middle-aged man with a mustache in a dark red vest embroidered with white lace is at the forefront of the portrait, sitting on a high-backed leather chair with a high back. The other woman is a girl in her twenties, wearing a very retro emerald green tie-up leather dress, with gorgeous blonde hair tied into a flower, and the girl's perfect cheeks resting on the back of the chair, looking innocent.
In the upper right corner of the painting, there is also a row of small white letters. If you don't look closely, you can only think that it is a pattern on a black curtain.
Ingres zooms in on the picture, and the content of the row of white characters is clearly visible:
—Margaret's sixteenth birthday, Franklin.
Margaret Ingres remembered the name, and it seemed to be the prison warden's daughter.
Looking at Margaret's intimacy with the middle-aged man, Angel guessed that the middle-aged man might be the warden of the Hanging Ladder. So this Franklin is the name of the prison warden, or is Franklin the name of the painter?
Angels turned off the holographic tablet, and he confirmed his suspicions, and sure enough, the "Shepherd Milking Picture" was not in the original painting.
Why did the original "Portrait of a Father and Daughter" become "The Shepherd's Milking Picture"? Did someone change it? Or is there some other strange and wonderful reason?
Ingres picked up "The Shepherd's Milking Picture" and took a closer look, and found that this painting was really just a very ordinary oil painting. If there is nothing wrong with the painting itself, then where will the other "Portrait of a Father and Daughter" go? If someone did change it, for what reason? Don't you just want people to see the faces of these two people?
That's weird, isn't it...... Ingres pondered for a long time, but had no answer, so he could only put it on the magic of the Nightmare Realm.
......
After the night, Angel got up early, fed Toby, and took out the cultivation experience that Sanders had given him and began to read.
But before he could read for a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.
Along with the knock on the door came Serum's slightly excited voice: "Angel, Angel!"
Angel opened the door and saw Sylum standing in front of his door, with a happy expression: "Angel turned out that you had already woken up, so why didn't you come up yet?"
"Where are you going?" asked Serum, and Ingres was confused.
"Deck, don't you know? We're going to the Savage Cave today! At breakfast, the first mate said that we would arrive at our destination in the morning, and all the talented people would go to the deck! Let's go too!"
"It's here, why are you going to the deck?" Ingres looked at the tight little body wrapped in Sylum: "The deck is so cold, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
Serum reached out from the pocket of his thick trench coat, and he was wearing cotton gloves on his hands. "It's okay, I'm wearing a lot anyway. What a memorable moment to arrive at the Savage Cave right away, don't you want to overlook the environment of the Savage Cave from the air?"
Overlooking the place where you will live for a long time in the future. Angels thought about this proposal, and it didn't hurt to go and see it.
So, like Syrum, Angel was fully armed and took Toby and Sylum to the deck.
Along the way, Ingres could see a steady stream of gifted people coming out of his house, apparently with the same intention, a bird's-eye view of the entire savage cavern. This is not only to satisfy curiosity, but also to observe the surrounding terrain in advance, and to have a rough plan for future life.
Upon arriving on deck, Angel caught a glimpse of Hook Dick in the crowd. He stood in the center of three or four people, as if preaching something, patting his chest from time to time, looking proud.
Angel glanced back, and walked with Serum to the right of the guardrail, where Nausicaa was leaning against a cigarette. Swallowing smoke from time to time, it looks blurry and sexy.
"Miss Nausicaa!" said Sylum happily.
Nausicaa raised her head, looked at the two of them, and replied with a smile: "You are here too." ”
"Well, I don't know what the barbaric cave looks like, I heard that the wizarding organizations are all very mysterious, and ordinary people can't find the entrance at all. A flash of anticipation flashed in Sailum's eyes: "When I was a child, my mother told me about the fairy tale of the Moon Castle, will the savage cave be like the Moon Castle, only under the moonlight, will the magnificent figure appear?"
"Who knows, maybe. I've heard about wizards in the Blackberry Sea, and I've heard that there is a wizarding organization established on the Coral Islands, and I originally wanted to find this coral island, but I didn't expect to come to the savage cave by chance. Nausicaa replied.
"The wizard of the Coral Islands, it feels dreamy when you hear the name. Sairum's mind began to run back to his mind.
"The wizarding organization on the Coral Islands, you're talking about the White Coral Floating Island Academy, right?" said Angel.
"Well, it seems like that's the name. Why, Angels, have you heard of it?" said Nausica.
Ingres smiled: "My experience is the same as yours, I originally went to the White Coral Floating Island Academy with a guide, but I ended up diverting halfway, and now I am also going to the Savage Cave. ”
"I'm not as lucky as you, and I have a guide to lead me, I'm completely wandering and trying to find ...... White Coral Floating Island College. Nausicaa spat out the smoke ring: "It's naïve to think about it now. If it weren't for the other gains, I guess I would have been buried in this sea. ”
Recalling the experience of the Devil's Sea, the boundless thunderclouds, Nausicaa's emotion was not unreasonable.
"Angel, you've heard of the White Coral Floating Island Academy, do you know what it looks like, isn't it like Moonlight Castle, full of magical colors?" asked Serum eagerly.
Angel shook his head: "I haven't been there either." However, I saw a picture of another wizarding organization in the book, which is called Sky Mechanical City, which is a huge steel city suspended in the clouds, and only transcendent beings can fly to this city, and ordinary people can only look up from the ground forever. ”
Sky Machinery City, as an extremely famous economic and trade city in the wizarding world in the Southern Regions, is open to all wizards, and naturally there are images circulating.
"City in the clouds! sounds more desirable than the academy on Coral Island. The stars twinkled in Serum's eyes, and he imagined that after the infinite clouds were removed, an incomparably large city would appear at the end of the clouds, flashing with a mesmerizing light.
In addition to Sky Mechanical City, Angel has also been to Naluo City on the spot, so he also briefly talked about the remains of this wizard city that was named "Garden Labyrinth" by later generations.
Wizards on the Coral Islands, steel fortresses in the clouds, and cities where labyrinths and gardens merge...... Just thinking about it is exciting.
"I don't know what the situation will be like in the Savage Cave?" Sairum was convinced that the Savage Cave, as one of the top ten organizations in the Southern Regions, would definitely bring it boundless shock!
However, the reality often backfires.
