Chapter 154: Absolute Darkness

Chapter 154

In the dark, the two of them walked into this room randomly, and when they walked in, it was dark inside, even if it was a night owl like Char, they were a little uncomfortable. But after closing the door quickly, the cold behind him was indescribable, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!

The two bumped into each other in the dark, and the poor worm was stepped on by Char, almost crying out in pain, but fortunately he covered his mouth in time, so he didn't scream.

Char listened with his ear on the door panel, but his heart became strange.

Actually...... Can't hear me?!

There is something strange about this door panel? The tentacles feel cold, as if it were an iron door, but why is it also isolated from the sound outside? I can't feel anything strange when I touch it.

At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up behind him, and it turned out that the poor worm had lit a candle that he had been holding in his hand. By the faint candlelight, I finally saw my surroundings clearly.

It seems to be a room that has been abandoned for an unknown period of time, and the walls are all exposed brick walls, without any makeup, the bare walls are a little dilapidated, and there are some dusty cobwebs hanging in the corners.

The poor insect is a girl after all, and when she saw so many cobwebs at a glance, her face suddenly changed, and she subconsciously pasted it to Char's side.

The room inside doesn't seem to be very wide, but it's deep - it's more like a secret passage than a room.

After taking two steps at random, a cloud of dust rose under his feet, leaving footprints on the ground - Char looked at the footprints on the ground and sighed: I am afraid that no one has entered this place for many years.

There is nothing furnished here, the only thing that is a little peculiar is the footsteps: the ground under the feet is not flat, but the steps go down one step at a time, showing a downward arc.

Char was curious, looked at the poor worm, the two looked at each other, and the poor worm was also at a loss. Anyway, the old duke and Cavihill were in the room outside, and the two couldn't get out for a while, so they could only walk inside to look.

There are about dozens of steps going down, and the further down you go, the more chilly it becomes. By the flickering candlelight, the two crept to the end of the steps, and the dust stirred up by the footsteps choked Char to sneeze, but he could only forcibly cover his mouth with his hand, the poor turtle was so red that his face was full of tears, and the poor worm leaned against him with some fear.

At the end of this secret passage, there is no way out, at the end of here, the space is slightly larger, roughly the outline of a square room, but according to the feeling of the two of them coming down all the way, the room at the end of this is afraid that the height of the place where they just came down is at least three meters lower.

"Like...... Is it a cellar?" Char looked at the poor worm.

Adeline shook her head, blinked her eyes, and lowered her voice, "Don't look at me, I don't know what this place is." I just borrowed this place from Minas to meet you, and I haven't been here either. โ€

Char felt the overwhelming cold, even with such a strong body, he was a little faintly unable to withstand it, and the poor worm was already shivering from the cold.

"Hell, why is it so cold in here?" Char frowned.

The two of them looked carefully in this room, and there was nothing in this empty room, and the empty walls were only cobwebs except for dust. Char touched the wall with his hand, and only then did his palm touch the wall, and immediately retracted, and said strangely: "This wall is so icy!"

The poor worm also tentatively reached out to touch it, and soon retracted his hand with a surprise and rubbed his palm vigorously: "It's really cold." โ€

Then the poor creature stooped down and looked at the corner of the ground, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he bent down and picked up a small object from the ground, and smiled: "Ah, I know what this place is." โ€

"What?"

The poor worm grinned, stretched out his palm and stretched out his hand in front of Char: "Look, this!"

In the palm of her slender hand, she held a small round wooden strip only the thickness of her thumb.

Char looked at it, "What's it?"

The poor creature smiled, "It's oak. Generally, aristocratic families use this kind of oak to make wine stoppers. I think this was once an underground sake cellar. It's just that it has been abandoned for many years, and the wine inside has been emptied. โ€

After thinking about it, the poor worm squinted his eyes and said, "Well, it's so cold here, it must have been built under this manor, have you forgotten? This manor is built on the mountainside, isn't it in the belly of the mountain if you dig down?"

Looking at Char's blank expression, Adeline sighed, knowing that this turtle was from a poor background and was not very familiar with the extravagant pleasures of these aristocratic families, and explained: "Generally speaking, this kind of wine cellar will be built in the cool underground of yฤซn, and in order to maintain the temperature, this kind of cellar will usually be built as a mezzanine, I think, maybe on the other side of the outer wall of this cellar, it may be some underground ice cellar, which is dedicated to storing ice." It's just over winter, and there's a lot of ice stored in the ice cellar, so we're here to feel so cold. โ€

This explanation seemed reasonable, but Char listened to it silently. He had a strange feeling in his heart - he couldn't tell why, but in his heart he felt that there was an indescribable weirdness here!

But the poor creature relaxed, and she took the candle and sighed, "We can only wait here, and wait for the people outside to leave...... Alas, I only hope that the old duke and Cavihill don't talk outside for too long, and if I go back late, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble. โ€

Char frowned and was silent, and suddenly remembered that Fang had overheard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: the two old guys seemed to be talking about the past, especially mentioning an old man, as if there were some complicated grievances in it...... Just ...... "Hey, Char." Just as the turtle was in a trance, the poor worm shouted, gently tugged at his clothes, and whispered, "What are you thinking?"

Char shook her head and didn't speak. The poor worm said, "What you just heard, you ...... Don't talk nonsense! Although I don't know what exactly they are talking about, but, in the identities of the two of them, the things they are talking about must be some old secrets! If you rashly listen to what you say and leak it, I am afraid that you will cause trouble!"

Char waved his hand: "I naturally know this." โ€

Adeline's tone was very serious: "Char, you must know that your identity is different now, and the people and things you come into contact with are very different from before! The circle you are in now is different from those in the past, these things are more complicated and more dangerous, and if you don't take one step well, you may cause trouble!"

Although Char was a little impatient, he also heard the concern in the poor insect's tone, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Okay, that's all I need to remember." Do you think I'm a big mouth, and I talk nonsense when I hear everything?"

Adeline grinned, "You're not a big mouth, you're ...... Turtle!"

Char smiled, looking at the poor insect's smiling face flickering in the candlelight, he suddenly moved in his heart, and suddenly caught a thought!

"Ahh

Char Huo Ran jumped up, and then grabbed the poor worm's hand holding the candle, snatched the candle, looked at the candle flame carefully, and his face suddenly changed!

Seeing Char's sudden and strange reaction, the poor worm was stunned: "You...... What are you doing?"

"Candle Flame! Candle Flame!!" Char's eyes flickered, and she looked at the candle flame and then at the poor worm, "Don't you think this place is strange?"

"What's weird?"

Char's face became a little miserable, hesitated for a moment, looked at the poor insect's face, and said in a low voice, "You...... I said, don't be afraid. โ€

The poor creature looked at Char with a puzzled look.

Char lowered his voice, and suddenly his body couldn't help but tremble, and pointed to the ground: "Look around...... Don't you really see anything out of the ordinary?"

"Huh?" Adeline saw a hint of shock in Char's eyes, and she couldn't help but get a little nervous, and looked left and right in the room - there was nothing strange about it, and there were few empty walls, no ornaments, only dust, cobwebs...... "Look at it again." Char's eyes flashed, and one hand was already holding down the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The poor insect is not a fool after all, after a few careful glances, finally, suddenly changed sรจ!! Her face turned pale instantly, and she exclaimed in fright, almost shrinking into Char's arms!

"Shadow, Shadow!!"

Char laughed dryly, her face was so weird and weird: "Did you finally find out?"

Originally...... In this room, there are obviously candles lit, but as far as the eye can see, the floor and the walls are ...... All...... There is no shadow!!

The two young men glanced at each other, and this strange discovery made both of them feel a little hairy at the same time, as if an inexplicable cold air rushed to the top of their heads along the back of their heads!!

Adeline panicked, and with a shake of her hand, the candle fell to the ground and went out with a thud. Suddenly it was dark, and Adeline exclaimed, instinctively hugging Char's arm.

At this moment, Char suddenly heard Dora's voice in his head!

The female dragon's tone seemed to be extremely solemn and serious: "Boy, be careful! This is a magical realm! I feel a very strong magic fluctuation!"

"What?" Char blurted out.

Adeline in her arms screamed, "Char, what are you talking about?"

"This is the 'Absolute Darkness' realm!!"
