Chapter 209: The Smile of the Goddess of Victory
After reading the letter, Wren lost his mind for a while.
Alexia was really killed, or was she killed by a being whose name she didn't want to mention.
Wren looked at a text in his mind, "No one is its opponent", a phrase he had heard Alexia say before, it was when he told him about the white wolf that attacked Koti.
She told Wren that it was a god worshipped by people in the past, and that no one was its opponent.
But for some reason, there was no news of the wolf god after that, could it be that it came to Brica? If so, why didn't it cause the same crazy scene as it did at the beginning? Or is it some other "god"?
Wren wasn't sure, but there was no doubt that there was a terrifying presence lurking in Brika now, and maybe he really should find Andel as soon as possible and leave Brica, as Alexia said.
But can you really leave, or will you leave......
And, it's not easy to find Andle.
Wren smiled bitterly, the few help he had were now unable to help him.
Reading the letter in his hand again, and when he saw the last paragraph, Wren remembered that he had said something similar before Enid sealed himself.
Enid said that with Wren's wisdom, she believed Wren should know what to do. Alexia, on the other hand, tells Wren that she wrote his recommendation for admission, so she trusts Wren to know what to do.
"Unparalleled courage....... Is there still wisdom? You really think highly of me, and I don't even know if I have these two things. Wren looked at the latter part of himself, and silently read in his heart: "But I will go on." ”
But now all he had to do was get out of this room......
Alexia's clues have been found, but he is still trapped in the painting.
"Is there anything I haven't noticed?"
Wren folded the letter in his hand and put it in his pocket, and searched the room again, rummaging through the stacks of books for a while, and examining the desk and Alexia's body, but found nothing.
It wasn't until he approached the portrait of a lady that Wren suddenly felt something stirring in his pocket.
When he looked down, he saw that the letter paper that had been put in his pocket had folded and turned into a small paper figure, and he climbed out of Wren's pocket, and then grabbed Wren's clothes, climbed all the way to the top of his head, and finally jumped onto the frame of the portrait.
I saw it hook the edge of the frame with the instep of its foot, and the whole villain hung upside down, and stretched out its eyes with both hands as if it were holding the moon in the water, and held out her purple pupils.
"No, it's not the pupil!"
When the object in the eye was removed, Wren suddenly found that it was actually a pendant, he looked back at Alexia's body, no wonder he had always felt as if something was missing, it turned out that Alexia had been wearing the amethyst pendant and disappeared.
After the pendant was removed by the paper figure, the portrait of the lady on the ground also revealed her original appearance, which turned out to be brown pupils.
Wren walked up to the portrait and stretched out his palm, and as soon as the paper figure let go, the pendant fell into Wren's palm.
Compared to when Alexia wore it in the past, the pendant lacks the brilliance of magical items, but it is still crystal clear, presumably deliberately handled to prevent it from being discovered by the murderer.
It's just that what did Alexia leave this pendant for? And it is placed in such an obvious place.
Wren looked at the portrait on the wall, as long as he entered the world of this painting, he would definitely notice this beautiful portrait of a woman at first sight, and the chair where Alexia was sitting was also facing this painting, hiding the pendant in such an obvious place, was he not afraid of being discovered by the murderer?
Wren inspected the pendant several times and found nothing, and with doubts in his heart, he took the pendant around his neck and tucked it into his neckline.
At this moment, probably because the pendant was discovered, the scene in front of him was distorted, and when he looked at things again, Wren had returned to the museum's warehouse, and in front of him was the "Victor".
The white scales that had guided him were gone, presumably dissipating shortly after breaking the protective magic. Wren remembered Alexia's description of the white scales in her letter, which she said she had deliberately left behind to mislead "it".
Wren understood this description to mean that "it" was looking for Alexia, so Alexia, sensing the impending crisis, hid in the painting "The Victor". But even the warehouse of the Brika Historical Museum did not reassure Alexia, and she expected that the other party would still find her, so she placed the white scales in the warehouse.
When the other party finds the warehouse and sees the white scales, they will think that they have been deceived by Alexia, this is just a bait, Alexia is not here at all, as if the person who fled for his life deliberately left traces on the wrong path.
It's a pity that the other party was not fooled.
This speculation, combined with the letter left by Alexia, Wren thinks that what he thinks should be ** inseparable from ten, the only question is, why can this white scale be a bait?
Is it because Alexia has left a mark on it that is misleading, or is it because the scales have a very close relationship with her?
If you want to sort out this problem, I'm afraid that you will only have a chance to know when you really see that "it" one day.
……
As it was sucked into the painting, "Victor" fell to the ground, and Wren possessed and picked it up, preparing to put it back in its original position.
After putting it back on the shelf, Wren tucked his hand into his sleeve and wiped his fingerprints from the frame through the cuff.
Although the magic protection on the painting is gone, there is no alarm, and the thing is not lost, and the museum should only think that the spell has failed by accident, and will not delve into it.
While wiping, Wren's eyes couldn't help but look at the contents of the painting again.
"Victorious...... Victor ........"
The infamous painting is still the same as before, with a chair with its back to the picture, a figure with arms exposed, and a portrait of a lady smiling gracefully.
But looking at it, Wren's eyes became more and more talkative, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose.
"Winner, who is the winner?"
……
After everything was done, Wren returned to where he had been when he first entered the warehouse, and was teleported back to the guard room again, where he sat down in front of the TV as if nothing had happened.
In the monitoring room, the museum staff saw that there was movement here, looked over, and found that Wren yawned, got up and left the guard room, and used the walkie-talkie to contact colleagues.
"Okay, that little imp is impatient to wait, and it's gone."
