Chapter 1056 Sleepy
Will went lower and lower, and the ground began to get wet.
If someone blocks the passage at this time, he will be trapped underground.
After passing through a cold, shallow ditch, the terrain begins to rise and takes on a spiral-like feeling. It's like going around in circles.
Will was patient, walking slowly step by step, not in a hurry, not in a hurry.
Since you're here, let's go, there will always be an end.
Eventually, the terrain stopped going up, the ground became dry, and then zigzag forward.
The air in this dark tunnel is cloudy and uncomfortable.
Reckoning, Will feels like he's out of the school city.
In the tunnels, it's easy to lose yourself, lose your sense of direction and sense of time.
Especially in the dark.
If Will didn't have the green vision, he would have fainted in the tunnel.
The tunnels clearly have the impression that people can't tell the way, and they are deliberately elongated, making people feel like they are collapsing in the dark.
It's like an exam question.
Will relied on Midori's ability to complete the exam.
He came to the end.
In front of a door without a handle.
Will pushed the door, but it didn't move.
Pushing hard again, it feels like you're pushing a mountain.
Manpower can't push a mountain.
It's a stone door with no handles.
Will decided to knock on the door, and that was the only way he could think of it.
Cocoa!
First there was a tap, but no one responded.
Then hit hard, bang, bang!
Footsteps came from outside, and Will was separated from the outside world by a door.
A door that cannot be opened from the inside.
"Doctor, there's a voice in the wall. A voice said. The sound is somewhat familiar, but it may be because of the distortion and vagueness of the sound through the airtight wall.
I didn't hear an answer from the person called the Doctor.
Will stepped up his strength.
"Doctor, can you hear someone's knocking on the stone wall, is it hollow?" the voice continued.
Still not hearing the doctor's voice, but the voice of another person was getting farther away.
In the end, the voice was silent and silent.
Will struck hard, to no avail, and the echo echoed around him, far down the tunnel.
The tunnel twists and turns, there is no fork in the road, but it is just a darkness, a twist and turn, from the initial moderate temperature, to the cold of the underground, to the upward turbidity and suffocation, and finally to the door that cannot be opened, if you can't see things in the dark like day, Will believes that many people will collapse halfway.
Outside, there was no more sound.
Will didn't have a knife with him, he couldn't find the crack in the door, he couldn't pry it. Pushing the door, whether it's up and down, left or right, I've tried it, no.
Time passed, and Will couldn't get out.
Back?
He also tried to push the door when he came in, but to no avail.
It was like black iron that had taken root.
He was blocked inside the door, unless someone came to open the door, or went back to the door of the school city and knocked on the door, after all, Arya and the others were still waiting for him in the library of the school city.
But Will was not reconciled, since the sound of knocking on the door could be heard, then knock.
*
School City Library.
Dr. Puran walked out, waiting in front of a door for Arya, Rosso, and Podrick.
"Where's Will?" asked Arya.
Dr. Puran didn't answer, shook his head, and motioned for everyone to follow him.
So everyone walked out, and at the entrance of the library, they saw Bachelor Pate waiting here.
"Go back!" Puran gestured.
"Go back!" Arya learned from the raven in her hand, her voice exactly the same as that of Dr. Plan, and her tone was vivid.
"Go back, go back!" said the crow.
In a cage carried by Podrick, two little crows were also babbling, like two milky children: "Go back, go back!"
"Arya, you can name these two little ones now, and train them to understand what they mean, and when they grow up, they will understand your words, just like your two flying elves. ”
"Yes, Doctor, thank you for sending us the crows. Arya said.
She was tempted to ask what Lord Will was up to and how it was, but Arya held back. Looks like Will is doing something to get the burning candle at the end.
The candle was made and refined by the dragon crystal, why did the assistant bachelor spend the night in the dark and try to light the dragon crystal before becoming a full-fledged bachelor.
Long Jing, who came out of the mouths of the scholars, was glass.
Why try to ignite glass? Glass cannot be ignited, does that mean that magic itself does not exist?
From the Steward's Gatekeeper, Arya and the others learn that the school refuses to believe in magic and is committed to building a world of pure science.
But there is a rule for lighting glass candles.
Arya looked at Rosso and Podrick, all three of whom were slightly uneasy. Lord Will does not return, and Dr. Steward refuses to discuss any of the topics regarding Lord Will.
And the Faceless One is still around, eyeing the tiger.
The Faceless are not alone, they are a team, the Beacon Decanter has existed for 600 years and never closes, now to extrapolate, it is possible that the Faceless Decanter is a small subdivision of the Faceless, and of course it may not be.
The group returned to the Governor's Pavilion.
Up a spiral staircase, the second floor has a lot of rooms.
"Lady Arya, Sir Rosso, Sir Podrick, pick your own room to rest, and shout if you have something, and I will arrange for an apprentice to serve you. Dr. Puran said.
This is where the Governor's Pavilion entertains guests.
Every year, many people from all over the world come to visit the school, and the footprints of the bachelors are also spread across two continents. On the other side of the Narrow Sea, the continent of Essos also has many scholars serving as governors, kings, island owners, mercenary groups,
With the footsteps of Arya and the others walking, some room doors opened, and some people stood in the doorway, looking at Arya and the others.
They were all strangers, many of them mainlanders on the other side of the Narrow Sea with different faces and services. But one of them caught Arya's attention, and his clothes and appearance were exceptional, which Arya had seen in Quells City on the continent of Essos.
The people of Quells City and the continent of Sothros do most of the business, and a lot of goods, the trade of goods between the two continents, are traded in Quells, and then sent to other ports on the mainland through the ports of Quells, including delivery to the major ports of the Westeros continent.
In Quells, because of trade, there are people from the continent of Essos.
The Essos Continent, a continent that is many times larger than Westeros and larger than the Essos Continent, is located to the south of the Essos Continent.
The weather in the south is hot, just like the southern Dorne of Westeros, and the skin of the Dorne people is predominantly dark and rough.
And the people of the continent of Sothros are darker than the people of Dorne, and the skin of the people of the Midsummer Islands is about the same, black as night.
The people of the Midsummer Islands are thin, while the people of the Sothros continent are tall, agile, elegant, and have beautiful body lines.
Arya recognized at a glance that the tall, black charcoal-like man was from the continent of Thross. This is not uncommon in Quells, it is common, but in Westeros, it is rare.
Arya noticed that the dark-skinned man had patterns on his face.
In Quells, it is said that the gods of the continent of Essos all come from the mountains of Cosmos, grasslands, hills, woods, and rivers of the continent of Cosmos, and it is said that the gods live there.
The gods and people lived together and were not separated. It is said that the gods also intermarried with mortals.
Of course, those were rumors and stories, and Arya never took them seriously.
But this is the first time I've seen people from the continent of Thros on the continent of Westeros.
Although it was only a brief glimpse, Arya's understanding of the school city has increased to a new level.
The exchange and interaction with the outside world of the school city is ahead of the mainland royal family.
However, a school city that never believes in gods, accepts people from a continent where gods live?
This reminded Arya of the origin of the Dragon Crystal Candle.
The Dragon Crystal Candle comes from Essos, on the other side of the Narrow Sea, from the Valyrian Empire, an empire that dominates the world with dragons.
Before the Valyrian Empire was destroyed by the earth fire, it sent a messenger to send four dragon crystal candles made of dragon Yan to the school city, asking the school city to keep it, and this storage is a thousand years.
When Will and Arya first arrived, they were not determined to take the Dragon Crystal Candle and keep it, until they saw several Faceless Ones in Old Town. The determination of the Faceless One made Will and Arya realize that they had underestimated the importance of the Dragon Crystal Candle, and they knew that they must protect the Dragon Crystal Candle.
The dragon crystal candle of the Westeros continent must not fall into the hands of the Faceless One. It was the royal family of the Valyrian Empire who sent the dragon crystal candle back then, and the founder of the Faceless One was a miner in the underground mines of the Valyrian Empire, and the royal family of the Valyrian Empire was the enemy.
Arya, along with Rosso and Podrick, checked into the room and waited patiently for Will-sama to return.
One day passed, two days passed, three days passed, four days passed...... Lord Will was not heard from.
Arya goes to see Dr. Pran, the governor, and is missing Maester Pate. The Gatekeeper tells Arya that Dr. Puran is on Raven Island.
Raven Island again.
Raven Island needs to be rowed at the Wailing Pier to get past it.
Arya rowed past with Rosso and Podrick to Raven Island, where the assistant said that Dr. Puran had just left. Where he went, he said he didn't know, and if he couldn't find him anywhere else, he would go to the library to find him.
The school city is very large, there are many buildings, nearly 10,000 bachelors, tens of thousands of towers, covered bridges, and houses, layer upon layer, standing in the sky and overlooking it, the school city is a labyrinth.
To find a person in this labyrinth, if you don't have the exact location and aimlessness, you may never find it.
*
"What did you say? An old voice asked.
"There's someone down here. A voice replied.
*
Vograve?
Wait, the old doctor Wagrave Pate serves, the old doctor who is delirious and can't take care of himself.
Pate was dead, and the other day, the voice was very much like that of the apprentice Pate. Pate, who is looked down upon, has a very special voice and is full of unconfidence.
Will, who was across the wall, heard the voice speak louder than that of Pate the other day.
Maybe it was late at night, maybe they were close enough, close enough that they were separated by only a stone wall.
But Will couldn't break the wall.
The school city is not a pure building, it feels like a magical palace.
Will was obviously striking the stone wall, but the conversation between the two people on the other side said that the sound was coming from underground.
Could it be that the place where Will is actually underground, and the Bachelor is standing on top of his head, and if the position where he is standing is at a perpendicular angle to the position of the Bachelors, why didn't he fall?
*
"Anyone, there's someone underground?" another voice asked.
"Someone knocked on the stone walls, on the ground, on the ceiling. Vograve said in a low voice. The voice seemed to be right in Will's ears, and Will could even feel a faint breath spraying in his ears.
This caused a cold sweat to break out on Will's back.
It feels weird.
Will had obviously never moved, and there was only the stone wall in front of him, and he was sure that the position of his tapping had never changed, nor could he change.
Will decided to knock.
After being hungry for several days, he still had energy, and when he was sleepy, he curled up on the ground to sleep. When he woke up, he knocked on the stone wall, and there was only so much he could do.
Go back?
He's been back twice and then walked back.
Those who are weak-willed are already crazy.
Can't get out, don't have anything to eat, and don't know what the end will be? Perhaps, Dr. Puran is a faceless being. A faceless being who has lived in the school city for a long time, who can know? Will doesn't know about Dr. Poran's past, maybe Dr. Poran himself is a bachelor, and he learned faceless later. Perhaps, when he was younger, he also fell in love with a girl named Rosie in the quille wine bottle, and then ......
With no way in and out, Will thought a lot.
Woohoo!
Will tapped.
This time, however, the voice didn't seem to be coming out.
"Dr. Vograve, do you need me to dig underground?"
"No, I don't. Dr. Vograve said, "Calwin, could there be any thieves digging a tunnel that leads to us?" ”
*
Dr. Calwin?
The Superintendent, Dr. Plan, had mentioned the name, as did the Bachelor, who had told Will that the only doctor he admired in the school city was Calwin.
Calwin also studied necromancy and studied dissection, and Cobain said that Calwin's research was better than Cobain's, but Cobain was expelled from the school, and Calvin did not. He is already the oldest doctor in the school city, and he is highly respected.
*
"Thieves dig tunnels here, why?"
"Long Jing. Vograve's muffled voice rang in Will's ears again, as if he were right next to Will.
"Dragon Crystal, Obsidian, Lord Will's Dragon Crystal weapons against strange spirits are everywhere, and it's not uncommon. ”
Will stunned!
If you can cast obsidian into daggers, spear tips, arrowheads, and short knives, why can't you cast them into candles?
"I'm not talking about the obsidian of Dragonstone, but the dragon crystal candle sent by the Valyrian Empire. ”
