Chapter 0006: The Sea in the Book
The picture shows an ocean with an island in the lower left corner of the ocean with a palace built on it. When Aldington's gaze moves to the palace, the palace transforms, gilded with a layer of gold.
Smack!
Aldington closed the book, then blinked vigorously, "What's going on?" ”
With a vague bold idea in his heart, he quickly opened the "Danube Provincial Establishment Examination" again, and began to read the preface of the first page, and he didn't read any of the text content, just waited quietly. A moment later, as expected, the glowing image of the sea reappeared.
It's like floating above the pages of a book, there is an island on the sea, and there is a palace on the island.
"I've got a baby?" Aldington's slightly trembling hand reached for the image, and he touched the page through the glow.
The texture of some rough paper seems to have little to do with this luminescent picture.
He closed the book again, and the fluorescent picture disappeared in an instant, opened it, and a moment later the fluorescent picture appeared, closed, disappeared, opened, and appeared.
He flipped the page to the middle, and after a while a glowing picture appeared.
"It's kind of interesting." Aldington took out another book from the shelf, turned the page, waited for a moment, and the fluorescent picture appeared again, "So, it's not that the book just now is a treasure, these are ordinary books, and the fluorescent picture appears because of ...... I? ”
After many years of reading in his previous life, he quickly understood: "This is my golden finger? ”
Experiment with five books in a row, as long as the book is opened, it takes a while, no more than a minute, and you can see this fluorescent picture. The content of the picture remains the same, and a palace rises on an isolated island in the vast sea. Move your gaze to the palace, and the palace will be gilded with a layer of golden light.
This time he didn't look away, but stared at the palace.
It always feels like something unexpected is going to change.
The next second.
There was a whirling visual experience, and when he looked around him clearly, he had appeared in a palace, silent and empty.
In the middle of the palace, there is a round table on which a chest made of pure gold is placed.
Riding Beyond the initial panic, Aldington walked over to the table and opened the solid gold chest, which was first seen with a simple jade wrench. Picking up the jade wrench, there is a circle of letters engraved on it, which should be read as "Valkyrie", but there are no words to explain the meaning.
"It's a good fit." He placed the jade wrench on his left thumb.
Knights practice vindictiveness, learn spearmanship, swordsmanship, and archery, and wear a wrench to protect their thumbs when shooting.
At this time, he saw that there was another glass tube in the box.
When I picked it up, there was a drop of red liquid like blood, and there was a line of text on the glass tube: "Thunder Power Bloodline." ”
There is also a line of small words next to it: "The more you take, the greater the probability of bloodline awakening." ”
"This ...... It turned out to be the bloodline of the power of thunder, how could there be such a thing in this place! Aldington took a deep breath and felt terrified in thought.
But he didn't bother with it on the spot, but put the glass tube in his pocket.
There was also a yellowed piece of parchment under the chest, with tidal lines on it, and when I picked it up and made it carefully, I realized that it was actually a treasure map. Very similar to the previous fluorescent maps, with an island and palace in the lower left corner, except that an arrow is spent on the parchment pointing to the sea.
It seems to be sending a message - explore in the direction of the arrow.
"Fingers, blood, treasure map, what kind of existence is my golden finger?" He took the treasure map into his bosom again, and then carefully examined the pure gold treasure chest, and expanded it to all the corners of the palace, but no more useful things or information were found.
Pushing open the gate of the palace, it was a brilliant daylight outside.
The island is full of greenery and birds chirping in the woods, but this island is really small, and the palace occupies a third of the area, and the rest of the grove can be seen at a glance. Due north, a stone path extends from the palace gate that leads to the sea.
There is a simple wooden dock by the sea, and a small wooden boat is tied to the pier.
He stood on the pier and looked out to the north of the sea, and vaguely seemed to see another island: "According to the instructions of the treasure map, let me go to explore that island?" ”
Apparently he wasn't going to row over so rashly.
I went back to the island and searched the island inside and out, and I don't know how long it had been, but it had been an hour or two, and I still found nothing.
"If you can come in, you can get out, I'm going out now!" He tried all kinds of methods to return to the real world, but in the end they all failed, "I ...... Won't it be less than a day before you cross and catch up with a new round of crossing? "Reason told him it wasn't like that.
The key to breaking the game is on that new island.
So no longer hesitate, just grab the oars and start rowing. For two lifetimes, he had never rowed a boat, so at first he stumbled and couldn't sail at all, so he could only follow the current in circles. However, he soon mastered the technique and began to paddle north.
I don't know how long it has been, the fighting energy in my body is almost exhausted, and my arms are as heavy as a thousand catties, and I finally rowed to the shore of the new island.
The new island is not large, at most one or two times larger than the previous one, and the island is just as leafy, and in the middle of the island you can see a palace leaking out of the corner.
"Does having a new palace mean that there are new treasures?" He hurried to the shore and stepped on the sand towards the woods.
Suddenly.
There was a roar in his ears, and then he saw a tiger slowly walking out of the woods, and the tiger could not wait to pounce after looking at Aldington. Despite the sore and tired arms, Aldington relied on his body's instinctive reaction to dodge the tiger's pounce.
However, his physical strength had reached its limit, and after a few dodges, he completely lost his strength.
The thought of "my life is over" flashed in his heart, and he was bitten directly by the tiger on the throat, and there was no pain, only endless darkness enveloped him.
The next moment, he was already a spirit, and stood up from his chair in fright.
Fixed his eyes, and found that not only did he not die, but he also returned to the present world, in Uncle Oldem's study. There were still a few books on the desk, one of which was the "Danube Provincial Establishment Examination" that he had opened, and he had previously used this book to evoke fluorescent images.
Thus entering that strange palace.
There is a clock on the wall, which shows that it is 9:40 p.m., and the date has not changed, which means that he groped for hours in the world of the painting, and in reality time did not pass at all. Everything seems to be just a dream in my mind when I lose my mind for a short time.
Then he looked at his thumb as if he had thought of something, and on his thumb, the wrench engraved with "Valkyrie" was impressively there.
I touched my pocket again, and the glass tube was also touched.
But I didn't touch the treasure map in my arms.
