The beautiful handwriting was probably written by Lady Margaret.
However, it seemed that this note wasn't sent back, so perhaps Augustine didn't know that Margaret also had feelings for him. And this unspoken love was buried here forever, never to see the light of day.
Angor recalled a scene in his mind. Two lovers who loved each other but could not express their feelings clearly for various reasons. In the end, a great change separated them forever. Love did not bear fruit, but withered feelings were precious.
This series of notes told a short but romantic story of a two-way crush. But it did not end well.
Angor sighed. "Fate always makes fools of people." He put the notes down and stopped paying attention to them.
No matter how he felt, he was just an outsider. Nether City was unearthed tens of thousands of years ago, which meant this sad love story was at least tens of thousands of years ago, or even earlier. There was no point in dwelling on a story that was already covered in dust, was there?
There was not much useful information in the notes. He needed to search somewhere else.
Angor searched Margaret's room again. He did not find anything useful, but he did have some doubts about certain details.
Since he stepped on the stairs, he had been to many rooms. Apart from some special items, everything else had rotted away due to time.
However, he did not find any traces of weathering in this room. Even the table was as clean as new. The silk quilt on the bed was smooth and cool with a faint fragrance. Clothes, makeup powder, plaster … These easily damaged items did not deteriorate at all. It was just like how Margaret was dressing up in her room just a moment ago.
Was it because time favored this place, or was it because the Nightmare Realm "projected reality"? These were all difficult questions. At least, Angor could not figure them out no matter how hard he tried.
He left Margaret's room and went to another room. Judging from the style of the room, this should be the room of the previous owner.
Angor searched the room for a long time without finding anything. Still, based on his years of living in a noble family, he believed that the bedrooms of big families should have places to hide their valuables. His dead father had a secret room in his bedroom, which was used to store valuable valuables.
He did not find anything valuable, but he did not stop. He kept looking for more items.
In the end, he really did find a secret passage.
This secret passage was located under the bed. Opening a rectangular cover, there was a seemingly deep secret passage.
Angor entered the tunnel and soon arrived at a sealed space. It wasn't big, only about three or four cubic meters in size. There was a bookshelf inside, as well as some items of unknown use.
Angor assumed this was where the owner hid his treasures. With a tinge of excitement, he walked to the bookshelf first.
There were three rows of bookshelves, each of which was filled with books. Angor picked one randomly: Notes on Extracting Precious Materials 1.
"It's actually an alchemy book? And it's a book that the instructor didn't collect?" Angor thought to himself. He flipped through a few pages and found that the book contained extremely advanced alchemy knowledge. It was definitely not a simple alchemy book.
Angor took out several more books, all of which were related to alchemy. Many of them were rare books that were not collected in Sunders' library.
Angor was delighted. This was an unexpected gain!
After recording all the books in the bookshelf, Angor realized how valuable they were. Some of the alchemy theories could only be applied by legendary or even higher-level wizards. These books were definitely valuable. Angor wondered who the owner of this place was to be able to collect so many alchemy books.
After recording all the books, Angor was in a good mood. He went to another section where items were stored. He did not recognize these items before. But while recording the books, he learned some alchemy knowledge. Most of the items here were related to alchemy, and they were all of excellent quality.
Unfortunately, Angor could not take any of them away. Not to mention whether it would disappear inexplicably just like the things in the room earlier. Moreover, these alchemy tools were very big. Could it be that he had to carry them with him?
Angor had no choice but to give up. Still, this did not affect his good mood. He was already happy with all the valuable books he collected.
Angor left his bedroom and went to the last room on the second floor.
This room was on the left. According to the tradition of nobles, this room had the best location among all the rooms. Angor was looking forward to this room the most.
When he pushed the door open, the first thing he saw was a large bookshelf. Angor's eyes brightened up.
He didn't expect the last room to be a study!
…
The room was simple. A bookshelf, a table, and several oil paintings hung on the wall. Of course, he rushed to the bookshelf right away. But when he opened the shelf and flipped through a few books, he was disappointed.
There were indeed a lot of books on the bookshelves. However, most of them were official documents about "Nether City". Among them, there were construction approval letters, gardening letters, and books related to the layout of traffic roads, city defense facilities, and so on. These scattered documents filled the entire bookshelf.
He sighed and put all the books back where they were. He did not find anything useful, but at least he learned that this city was not called "Garden of Labyrinth". It was a good thing.
Angor also had some guesses about the identity of the owner of this place. Someone who could write such important documents should be someone with an important position. Maybe even a core member of the management of Nether City.
But none of this mattered. Nether City had already become a ruin in the real world.
Angor closed the window and slowly walked to the table in the study. He noticed an open book on the table as soon as he came in. There was also a quill stuck in ink beside it. It seemed that someone had been writing something on the table.
He sat on the chair and picked up the book.
The book was a notebook, and there were traces of writing on the opened page. However, the owner seemed to have only written half of it, and for some reason, he did not continue writing.
He turned the notebook to the first page to see what was written on it.
When he saw the first line of words on the first page, his eyes widened.
Singularity Dispersive Meditation!
It was actually a meditation technique?! This was the first meditation method Angor saw in the Nightmare Realm. It happened to be in the center of the sewer maze. Was this the special channeling method his professor told him about?!
Angor was excited. If this was really the channeling method Professor Sunders mentioned, this would be the starting line of his future path as a wizard!
With this in mind, Angor decided to keep reading. He suddenly remembered what his professor said. Even if he could memorize this channeling method in the Nightmare Realm, he would forget it when he returned to the wizarding world.
Angor was not in a hurry to read. He used the hologram tablet to record every page before reading from the beginning.
