Chapter 338: A Somewhat Familiar Portrait
Nauda's breathing stalled slightly, and she looked around, but she couldn't tell if it was on Skye.
"The course we sailed was the one that the gentleman once sailed." "This is also about where the black dot he drew on the map is." ”
"So, the Black Dots are where he met Sky Island?" Naouda said.
Niko nodded, "Quite possibly. ”
"So what do we do now?" Nauda said in a panic.
"Don't worry, I've just seen it." "The main body of the airboat is not damaged, the engine damage is acceptable, and I have the ability to repair it, as long as I can find some materials here that can be repaired," Nico said. ”
Nauda nodded.
They walked through the corridor that connected the courtyard to the interior of the castle, and they walked up the ancient staircase to the second floor of the castle.
There was silence in the castle complex, and it seemed that there was no one.
This time happens to be the winter vacation of teachers and students, which is used to celebrate Christmas, so there are few faculty and staff in the castle at this moment.
"This castle is huge." "It's bigger than the palace, who used to live here?" ”
"To be able to build such a castle is not something that can be built by the indigenous people who live on this island." Nico said.
"What do you mean?"
"Resources." Niko looked around and whispered, "The development of technology is based on resources, although this island is large, it is floating in the air, isolated from the world, and naturally there are fewer resources.
Under normal circumstances, if there were indigenous people on an island like this, then it would basically be in primitive times, and it would be impossible to build such a structure. ”
"Those who can build such buildings must be more advanced civilizations, or maybe some of them. Supernatural powers. ”
There was a burning sparkle in his eyes, and the excitement in his eyes was almost irrepressible, as an engineer and scientist, curiosity about the world was the most basic.
So at this moment, a door that was enough to shock the entire human civilization was in front of him, how could he not be excited.
However, at this moment, there seemed to be some rustling communication in the ears of the keen Niko, and his face changed slightly, and he directly pulled Nauda open the door on one side and walked in, by the way, he gently closed the door, but left a small gap that could be peeped into.
Then, just as she was about to ask what was going on, he put his finger to his lips and motioned for her to be silent.
Nauda obediently kept his mouth shut.
Soon, she heard the small exchange too.
"The castle is finally quiet, and the children of today are getting noisier and noisier every year, and the children of the previous decades were really nice, smart and quiet."
"I think it's pretty good, isn't it good to be energetic."
Through the crack in the door, Niko and Nauda saw two leprechauns with green pointed hats, green clothes, and leather boots coming from the end of the hallway.
They are short, but they are well proportioned, especially the full beard and red hair that do not match their height and body shape.
They didn't seem to notice Niko and the others in one helmet at all, and just walked slowly towards the end of the corridor.
When they completely disappeared into the hallway, Niko silently closed the door.
"What's that, dwarf?" Nauda asked.
"Not really." Niko shook his head, "They're about the same height, and the dwarfs are sick, so they look deformed, but their proportions are normal, like . . . They should be so tall. And what they're wearing."
Niko recalled, "I think I've seen this kind of clothing somewhere."
"So, they're the owners of this castle?" She said.
Niko didn't reply, he turned his head to look at the room, which seemed to be an office, in a tower, so the overall spatial structure was oval.
There was a coffee-colored short-haired carpet on the floor, and on the carpet was a very old table, which was larger, even more imposing than the one in the mayor's office that Niko had seen before.
"Probably not." Nick said.
He gestured to the chair behind the desk, "If it were really them, this chair would have to be much smaller than the table, the proportions would not match at all, and the person using this office should be a creature about the size of a human." ”
In the corner of the table, a circular globe is placed.
Ordinary globes are not eye-catching, but this globe is different, although it has a chassis, it has no contact with the chassis at all, and floats in mid-air and rotates automatically.
Niko stepped forward and reached out to probe the underside of the globe, where nothing invisible held it up.
"A. Diamagnetic materials? Niko muttered softly.
Nauda opened the door to the balcony on one side, and a wide view suddenly appeared in front of them.
The Optimus Pillar-like giant tree is conspicuous enough to make anyone with a phobia of giant objects shudder, and being at the side of the giant tree makes people feel like they are in a mythical age.
It makes people feel a sense of insignificance that has been magnified countless times, as if the soul is trembling.
However, the most striking thing at this moment is the sea of clouds at the end.
Lazy clouds were layered on top of each other, layer upon layer of irregular clouds stacked into white mountains, and like countless magnified marshmallows piled together.
The sky is blue and clear, bright without a single blemish, like a scene that only appears in anime, and it is difficult to see such a scenery in a post-industrial city.
The sunlight swayed on the white and clear white clouds, glowing with a slightly dazzling white light, like being in a fairyland, beautiful and incomprehensible.
Under the white clouds, there is a vast meadow, with green meadows full of unknown yellow flowers, and a crystal clear lake reflecting the blue sky.
Green, white and blue, although the three colors are distinct, they are extremely harmonious and paint a superb scene like an ink painting.
And at this moment, Nauda had a clearer understanding.
"We, really, are in heaven." Nauda muttered softly.
Niko was also lost in this beautiful scenery for a moment, and whispered, "Perhaps, only a god can live in such a beautiful place." ”
"Woo~"
The ethereal whale chirp echoed across the island, and under Niko's gaze, the great lake in the distance was drilled out of a whale that could only live in the sea.
It floated out of the lake, spitting out a jet of water that formed a strange rainbow on one side.
Everything is like a fairy tale world, dreamy and incredible.
"That's, whales?" Nauda looked back at Niko, and there was something incredulous in his eyes.
Niko's eyes were filled with doubt.
It is obviously unreasonable for fish in the sea to appear in lakes in the sky, but the islands floating in the sky themselves are already out of order.
Nauda withdrew her gaze, she now had an unreal sense of whether she was in a great real dream, and her senses were slightly blurred.
She continued to scan the room, she looked up, suddenly noticed something, and exclaimed.
"Niko, look, here's the picture!"
Hearing this, Niko also raised his head.
Abs is still the headmaster of Hogwarts, so there will not be a portrait of the headmaster of the past, and there will always be only one portrait on it, and that is Merlin's.
He has white medium-length hair, the hair on both sides of his sideburns is tied into Viking braids, and he is wearing a magic robe with a white main tone, and in front of him are two ribbons with blue rice spike patterns, like a mythical being.
Nauda stared at the painting for a moment, and said with some confusion.
"Niko, do you think this painting is a little familiar?" (End of chapter)
