Chapter 350: The Dragon's Lair
After listening to Savan's words, Sereshi gradually calmed down, she nodded and said, "You're right, I think so too, let's go and see!"
Since the bottom of the sea was full of the corpses of various wurm creatures, the three of them were reluctant to continue along the bottom of the sea, so they floated up for some distance before heading for the dragon's lair. After a while, a huge black shadow slowly appeared in front of him, which was the undersea mountain where the dragon's lair was located.
At this time, the dragon's nest no longer looked like a vibrant home, but more like a huge mausoleum, which filled the hearts of the three of them with unease. They wanted to return to the dragon's lair as soon as possible to see what was going on, but they were afraid to see a scene that they didn't want to happen, and this ambivalence tortured the three of them to feel depressed for a while.
Finally, when I came to the dragon's nest, the mountain was still the same as before, with large and small caves all over it. Serethy was anxious to drill into the dragon's lair, but was pulled by Savan, who said, "Don't worry, take a look at the surrounding situation first." ”
Seresi nodded, resisted the anxiety in her heart, and checked around the dragon's lair with Sawan and Eliza, there were no corpses of sub-dragon creatures nearby, but there were a lot of messy things scattered in many places, such as boxes, clothes, etc., it seemed that the dragons were indeed very likely to have been transferred.
This made Sawan breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the dragons were transferred, it meant that they had not been devastated, otherwise the corpses of the dragons should have been seen nearby. After looking around and not finding much, and there seemed to be no movement in the dragon's lair, Sawan said to Serenshi, "This place should be safe for the time being, let's go in and have a look." ”
Sereshi couldn't wait, and she went into a cave first, Eliza following behind Serehi, and Sawan in the aftermath. The trio swam into the dragon's lair, and no one could figure out the complex cave structure inside except for the dragons who grew up here.
Naturally, Sereich was familiar with the road here, and she led Eliza and Sawan back and forth through the labyrinth of caves, and soon found her own cave. She rushed in, and saw that there was no life in the huge cavern, and some of the utensils that had been used in the past were floating in the water, as the intrusion of the three of them moved slowly with the waves.
Sereshi had looked at every cave in the house and found no clues, some of the things that had been used in the past were still there, but it was clear that there had been no dragons living here for a long time. Sawan was well acquainted with the Serechy family, and he made a beeline to Osiris's study, hoping to find some clues.
Osiris, a famous sage of the dragons, may have left something behind if the dragons had moved from here, so that they would know where they had gone when Sereshi or himself returned. As soon as he entered Osiris's study, Savin was immediately greeted by a scene of chaos, tables crooked to one side, various books and drawings suspended in the water, and it seemed that they had left in a hurry.
Osiris's books had always been very valuable, and if he hadn't had time to take them with him, the situation must have been very critical. Sawan collected the books that were floating around one by one and stuffed them back into Osiris's shelves, hoping that one day Osiiris would be able to return here and re-read them.
Sawan looked carefully in the study, but found no useful clues, and he didn't think it was like what Osiris's was doing. In his teacher's style, no matter how hastily he left, he should have left something behind, and he should be able to think that in the future Seleshi or himself would always come back here.
"Could it be hidden in a book?" thought to Savan, "since there is no other place, it is most likely that the clue will be hidden in the book, for both Serench and himself know how much Osiris's value is for books." But there are too many books, and I don't know when I will turn them over......"
At this time, Eliza also swam in, and when she saw Sawin staring at the bookshelf, she asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Seeing that it was Eliza, Savin said, "I wonder if the teacher will leave us some clues, if they are all gone, we must leave some hints for me and Serethy, otherwise where will we find the dragons." ”
"And what did you find?" Eliza came to Savin's side and stared with him at the dense collection of books on the shelves.
"I wonder if the teacher is hiding clues in these books?" Savin said.
Eliza said: "There are too many books, and I don't know how long it will take to find one locally." ”
"I think too, but I have to try, even if I look for them one by one, I can only do it head-on. Sawan smiled bitterly.
As he spoke, Sawan was about to start rummaging, but Eliza looked at the bookshelf with a distracted expression, as if she was thinking about something. Sawin didn't bother her, he took a book from the shelf and turned the pages...... Soon, Sawin flipped through more than a dozen books, not to mention any clues, and didn't even see a piece of paper with words on it.
These books have been specially treated to keep them in the water for a long time, otherwise they would not have been able to withstand the immersion in seawater. Sawin flipped through these books, as if he had returned to the time when he studied with Osiris, and all kinds of past memories came to his mind in an instant.
"Are you sure your teacher will definitely leave you a clue?" asked Eliza suddenly.
Savan's thoughts were interrupted, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied, "With his character, I think it's very likely that he left us a clue. ”
Eliza listened to Savan's words and said, "Since he will leave a clue, I think he will definitely put it in a special place, a place that you or Cereshi can notice at a glance." Are there any books that have a special meaning for you or for Serehi that will remind you of them at once?"
Eliza's words made Samin feel very reasonable, if the teacher must have left clues so that they could find them, otherwise it would be meaningless, and he would probably put them in a book that would make them easily noticeable. Sawan pondered his past studies with Osiris, and which book was particularly significant......
After thinking for a long time, Sawan couldn't think of any book with such a meaning, and at this time Serexi also came to her father's study, and she saw that Sawin and Eliza were in a daze with the bookshelf, so she urged: "Don't be in a daze here, let's go to other places to see!"
Sawan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let me ask you, is there any of the teacher's books that you can remember at once, or are there any books that have a special meaning for you?"
Sawin's question puzzled the second monk of Serexi, and she said dissatisfiedly: "You are still in the mood to think about this, I don't have the heart to delay time with you." ”
"It's not a waste of time. Eliza chimed in, "We wonder if your father will leave any clues, most likely hidden in these books." ”
Serexi was in a bad mood, but now hearing Eliza say that her father might leave some clues, which made Selech feel renewed, and she hurried to the bookshelf to look at the dense books, trying to remember the time when her father had taught her to read.
In the past, Serech didn't like to read much, if it weren't for being with Savan, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been interested in reading at all, and most of those books were read and forgotten, and none of them had a special meaning at all.
Eliza couldn't think of any book that was special when she saw that Savin and Sereich were stunned for a long time, so she reminded again: "So are there any books that you have the most impression of, and that you have both read?"
Sereshi and Savan stared at each other wide-eyed, and suddenly they both said at the same time, "Notebook!"
"What notebook?" asked Eliza, puzzled.
Ignoring Eliza and rummaging through the bookshelves, Savin explained to Eliza, "Serethy and I once picked up a notebook on the shipwreck, the same shipwreck we saw in the trench earlier. ”
As Sawin explained to Eliza, Serech exclaimed, "Found it!!" and raised an old notebook in her hand.
