Chapter 239: Clues?
Roland looked at the portraits and felt a little incredible. In this era, it was still common for aristocrats and wealthy merchants to find people to paint portraits, but what about those who were dressed as peasants?
And among these portraits that obviously have no relationship, why is there a portrait of Archimedes?
Could it be that the old man still has any special habits?
Thinking of this, Roland suddenly had a strange feeling, but suddenly he couldn't tell what was strange.
Although they have not yet been able to draw any conclusions from the existing information, Roland always feels that whether it is the list or the portraits, it seems that there is some secret of Archimedes hidden in it, and it is a pity to leave this clue out like this.
It's just that Roland and the others don't have the time to carefully consider the details of this now, so they can only do it for the time being.
Roland silently restored the materials to their original state, and then he suddenly felt a slight vibration from outside the room. Although the magnitude of the tremors was small, Roland could be sure that it was a wall moving somewhere. Gray had clearly noticed this, and he motioned with his eyes for Roland to look at the shock.
So Roland quietly opened a crack on the side of the door, and after confirming that there was no one around, he quickly moved to the room where the shaking occurred.
It's a somewhat secluded utility room filled with clutter. A piece of land in the middle of the grocery room, but there is no dust, and a little closer inspection will make people feel abnormal. Roland saw that Sharon's hair was showing out of the wall that had been pushed away, and it seemed that the two dragon knights had found it first.
Roland took a step forward, and suddenly felt that the aura around him had become a little different, and there seemed to be a very greasy and disgusting smell. Roland felt as if his whole body was heating up. And this didn't seem to be a feeling that only Roland alone, because Gray's face also began to turn pale, and sweat was pouring out of his forehead, which was obviously more uncomfortable than Roland.
Xiu looked at the two of them blankly, not understanding why they felt uncomfortable.
However, Xiu's attention was quickly drawn to the situation inside the walls. When he realized that there were other people inside the wall, he asked with a wary face, "Who is inside?" Is it your companion? ”
"Well, it's the Dragon Knight of the Holy Court." Although Roland felt a little uncomfortable, he still replied to Xiu's words.
"What, Dragon Dragon Dragon Knight?" Unexpectedly, after learning that a big man like the Dragon Knight also appeared here, Xiu suddenly became nervous, and he couldn't even say anything!
Dingurnier was also aware of Xiu's existence at this time, so he walked out of the secret room, glanced at Xiu directly with an expressionless face, and asked, "Who is he?" ”
"He's an acquaintance of ours, and he's here to investigate the devil, so he won't cause us trouble." Gray quickly explained.
And Xiu's eyes widened in surprise after seeing Dingenier's appearance clearly. He couldn't help but look at Dingenier carefully, and then at Roland, and couldn't believe what he saw: how could there be two Rolands here!?
Fortunately, Dingenier didn't care about repair, but just let Roland and Gray enter the secret room.
Roland had to endure the nausea in his heart and approached the wall, only to find that the inside of the secret room seemed to be faintly shining with purple light. As long as you stand in the place where the light shines, the greasy nausea becomes very strong.
Roland tried to squeeze into the back of the wall as well, but after a few attempts, he couldn't stand the greasy feeling and crouched in the corner and vomited.
No way, for Roland, that kind of light gives people a disgusting feeling ten times worse than that of a demon!
And Gray's situation at this time is not much better than Roland. He leaned directly against the door of the utility room and remained motionless, like a salted fish waiting to die. Someone who usually pays as much attention to his image as Gray would never touch anything dusty in this messy environment!
So you can imagine how lethal the light is to Gray.
In order to alleviate this discomfort, Roland could only continue to take deep breaths to make himself feel better. When Roland had recovered a little, he squinted his eyes, only to see Sharon now standing there with a blank face and talking to Dingenil, not knowing what the two of them were talking about. And Dingenier only frowned slightly at this time, and didn't seem to feel any discomfort.
Damn it! Could it be that this inexplicable light only works for himself and Gray? Am I really that useless?
Thinking of this, Roland felt that his body suddenly began to strength, and he didn't want to be so useless in front of Dingenier, so he staggered to Sharon's side. Then he noticed that the purple light in the secret room was more intense than from the outside.
Roland instantly began to feel that the sky was spinning, and his whole brain seemed to be about to explode, and he couldn't stand up all of a sudden.
Sharon grabbed Roland so he didn't fall. Roland barely opened his eyes, and then he found that this secret room was actually not big, just the size of an ordinary study. In the center of the room was a delicate shelf, on which lay an irregularly shaped purple crystal, about the size of a little finger, from which the purple light was emitted.
Roland felt a little incredible: how could such a large crystal emit such a strong light? And why does the bottom tray used to put crystals on this shelf look sticky and disgusting?
Sharon stepped forward at this point.
Roland originally thought that Sharon was going to take off the crystal, but she didn't expect that she suddenly began to pick up the base under the crystal with her hands!
Although Xiu, a guy who loves to join in the fun, had a hint of timidity in his heart when facing the dragon knight, driven by curiosity, he still squeezed through the wall and indoors. Fortunately, Dingenier and Sharon didn't pay much attention to him, so when they were in this room, they felt quite comfortable.
Sharon methodically picked off a sticky piece of something near the base of the crystal, and the place that was deducted instantly became purple and transparent, and it turned out that the base was also a crystal!
Then Sharon picked another piece and threw it on the ground. As Sharon picked out more and more things, more and more crystals appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It turned out that the actual size of the crystal was the size of a smaller basin, but it was covered by something sticky on it. And as more and more "bases" were thrown down by Sharon on the ground, everyone gradually saw the material of those bases clearly, which were the eyes of human beings who had been dry and deformed!
Roland suddenly felt his stomach churn, and he couldn't help retching again, but unfortunately he had nothing left to vomit out now.
Finally, Sharon finished picking out all those eyeballs. She wiped her hands casually on the curtain and ripped off another piece to wrap the crystal, apparently Sharon was going to take it away.
By the time I left the utility room, it was already late at night. Since Roland and Gray would have a strong sense of discomfort with the crystal, Sharon took the burden containing the crystal himself.
