Chapter 31: The Chamber of Secrets (I)
"I seem to have seen the pentagram on this coat of arms somewhere......" Rosie held the golden coat of arms in her hand and looked at it carefully.
At this moment, Fei Lin's mood has eased a lot, and his expression is no longer as serious as before, and he said: "I want to find out the origin of this coat of arms and the correct way to use it." β
"Film, I remember when you were in the cemetery, you lost your mind because of this coat of arms. Rodlis still felt a little scared when he remembered the scene.
Ellie then added, "yes, you were covered in a golden flame, and it was like a different person. β
Fihrin remembers the scene vividly, it was this mysterious coat of arms, which was his original intention to solve the mystery of the coat of arms.
"Film, cheer up, we'll be fine together. Loras said, looking into Firin's eyes.
Rosie put the coat of arms in her pocket, got up and said, "Usually I go to the basement with my father to do magic experiments, and I spend very little time alone inside. β
"I'm afraid it's not good for us to go into the basement without Mr. Shiloh's permission......" Ellie said with some concern.
"Don't worry, after midnight, we will meet at the door of the dining room, and we will not be discovered. Seeing Rosie's indifferent look, the four of them also relaxed.
"Okay, then I'll see you then!"
The candlelight on the table turned the tablecloth white, and leftovers were still steaming.
Everything is unknown, everything is phantom.
ββ
"What the hell is Filin doing, why hasn't he come yet?" Rodrith grumbled impatiently, the pale blue flame in his hand emitting a faint glow in the darkness.
"Wait. Rosie whispered.
The four of Loras were standing at the door of the dining room at the moment, the night was bright outside the window, and the cold wind was beating against the glass, and it was now autumn season.
At night, the Prime Minister's Mansion was silent, except for the occasional sound of rats running across the ceiling.
"Look, he's coming!"
Filin's figure appeared around the corner of the cloister, with a shadow blade pinned to his waist, and the surface of the dagger emitted a cold light.
"Now that everyone is here, let's open the door and go in. Rosie said as she pulled out a key and inserted it into the keyhole.
"Click~" The iron door of the basement opened.
Rosie waited for all four of them to enter the door before she flashed inside the door and turned around to close the iron door gently.
There was a long narrow staircase leading to the basement, and with the help of the lighting flames of Rodrith and Rosie, the group slowly moved downward.
After a while, the five of them reached the ground below, and they were now looking around curiously at the scene, their eyes shining with excitement.
I saw Rosie's right hand raised suddenly, and all the candles in the space were lit up suddenly.
This is a place that can be described by words like 'basement', and it seems to them that it is clearly a miniature palace!
More than a dozen stone pillars five meters high support this very empty area, and many lockers of different sizes lean against the wall.
The stone walls are carved with strange characters and patterns, and the ceiling is hung with candles.
What made them even more jaw-dropping was that the floor made of marble was covered with dazzling magic crystals, and it was impossible for people to put their feet down.
The magic apprentice looked at the magic crystals all over the ground, his eyes widened, and he almost fainted with excitement.
"That's... Miss Rosie, may I take a few?" the magic apprentice was so excited that he couldn't even speak.
"I've told you before that with your current level of magic power, even if you get these rare magic crystals, you won't be able to play their role. Rosie pursed her lips and replied angrily.
"But aren't we here to hunt for treasure?" asked Loras, a little puzzled.
Although the dΓ©cor here is resplendent and breathtaking. However, the large space has an unobstructed view, and there is no value for people to explore at all.
"Stand on the top of the stairs first, or you'll fall." β
Rosie's words puzzled the four of them, and Rodrith was about to ask.
"Don't worry, everything in front of you is just an illusion. Rosie smiled mysteriously and stretched out her right hand to make a whirling motion in the air.
Fei Lin suddenly felt a sudden shock under his feet, and the ground in front of him turned over violently!
Huge stone slabs rotate counterclockwise along a pivot in the center, and countless magic crystals pour down. The stone pillars are rubber-like and change shape in a very strange way.
What finally unfolded in front of them was a small, damp utility room.
A golden flame ignited in Rosie's hand, which instantly lit up the gloomy room. There was a lot of dirt and footprints on the ground, as if it had been walked by a lot of people.
Discarded weapons and armor were piled up all over the utility room, and many magic crystals that could no longer be used were placed in the corners of the walls.
There was a foul smell all around, and Ellie couldn't help but frown and cover her nose with a handkerchief.
"How did this happen, where did all those magic crystals go?" Rodrith watched in amazement at the unbelievable scene.
"The basement was magically constructed by my father to split into many subspaces that had not yet been formed, and it was just one of them," Rosie explained to them.
In other words, you can observe the integrity of the subspace by switching between different spaces. Filin thought for a moment and said.
The most amazing thing about this kind of magic is that there can be unexpected surprises in the unfinished subspace. Rosie said and walked down the stairs.
Rodrith had also heard of advanced magic that could split space: however, it could only be used in certain areas, and required a huge amount of mana as an energy source to ensure that the magic would continue to work.
"I see, when you say expedition, you're really exploring those unfinished subspaces. Loras now roughly understood what was going on.
Rosie nodded and said, "You all come down, when the subspace is opened, its state is static." β
"There's nothing here...... "Filmin rummaged through a large pile of clutter in front of him, but couldn't find anything of value.
Rosie blushed a little when she heard this, and said, "I'll open the next subspace right away." β
The next few subspaces were, as they had done before, as they had done before, and were nothing unremarkable.
"Miss Rosie, I asked you to do ...... before" Although the concept of subspace was new to them, it was clear that Filin was more concerned about the origin of the coat of arms.
Only then did Rosie remember the matter of the coat of arms that Filmin mentioned, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll convert the space to where you want to go now." β
