"Let's go inside first." Rein looked at the open door. "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I last came here."
Since Angor was the temporary owner of the ruin, he was the one who led the way.
After entering the ruins, there was a deep corridor that was densely covered in darkness.
Angor signaled everyone to follow him.
Sunders noticed that there were candlesticks on the wall, but Angor did not light them up.
Why not? Everyone here had night vision, but Angor still needed to light up the candlesticks out of courtesy. After all, the current ruler of Brute Cavern and one of the three ancestor souls were here.
Tree Spirit suddenly spoke up, "Speaking of which, I don't know why the creator of this ruin designed it this way. Candlesticks are placed here, but you can't light them up. Otherwise, you'll enter an infinite loop of traps. Why not just leave the candlesticks alone? "
"Since it's a trap, they're trying to lure intruders to trigger it," Angor said. "So the intruders will automatically light up the candlesticks, which will trigger the traps."
Tree Spirit shook his head. "You should have noticed it since you live here. You can't light up the candlesticks in this corridor. In fact, you can't even leave a single bit of light in this place. Otherwise, you'll enter an infinite loop. Not placing candlesticks here will only confuse the intruders. Placing candlesticks here might even backfire. "
Angor considered and agreed with Tree Spirit's words. What he was trying to say was, in fact, to show that there were three hundred taels of silver hidden here. If you deliberately set up the candlesticks, people might find clues.
Tree Spirit continued, "Also, if you're trying to lure intruders to trigger the traps, the traps will be extremely dangerous. But the traps in this corridor, even if you trigger them, will only lead you into an infinite loop. You can still walk out of the ruin through the door. That doesn't make sense. "
Angor had thought about this before, but he did not know how to answer Tree Spirit's question.
Instead, Rein spoke up. "You don't have to think about it. This is just a ruin that floated here from the void. Maybe the original design of this corridor will kill intruders by triggering the traps? However, due to some external factors, the threat of this mechanism was slowly worn down with the passage of time. "
Rhine's guess made sense. However, it was hard to say whether this was the truth or not.
But since Rein told them not to think about such trivial matters, Angor decided to keep his mouth shut. Tree Spirit was still rambling, but no one responded, so he slowly stopped.
Sunders listened to their conversation and understood why Angor didn't light up the lantern. During their conversation, Sunders also felt that the corridor was strange. But as Rein said, it was only a small matter. There was no need to dwell on it. So, Sunders decided to forget about it for now.
In the darkness, the four of them walked forward quietly. Because Tree Spirit was just a spiritual body, only the footsteps of the three of them could be heard in the silent space.
"Don't you feel creepy when you only hear footsteps in the dark corridor and you don't talk?" Tree Spirit broke the silence again.
However, this meaningless topic did not receive any response from anyone.
But Tree Spirit's words reminded Angor of the first time he came to this place.
It was also in this dark corridor. Maybe it was because of the oppressive atmosphere, Angor heard a lot of messy footsteps.
Back then, Angor did not think much of it. But now that he thought about it, he did feel strange.
"I think there's a secret hidden in this corridor," Tree Spirit muttered. Tree Spirit was still muttering, "Tizaro said that there is a hidden room in this ruin. Could it be hidden in this corridor?"
Tree Spirit's words caught Angor's attention. Before he could think about such a possibility, Rein spoke in an annoyed tone, "You said the same thing when you sealed this ruin. Now you're saying it again?"
"We didn't find the hidden room back then, did we?" Tree Spirit pointed at Angor's direction with his mouth. "Maybe Angor found something. After all, the first owner of this ruin was an alchemist just like Angor."
"I'm just saying this to give Angor a hint."
Tree Spirit smiled at Angor. "You've been staying here all this time. Did you find anything about the hidden room?"
Both Sunders and Rein also looked at Angor.
Angor shook his head. "Nothing."
"But …" Angor suddenly stopped and pondered.
"But what?" Tree Spirit's eyes lit up. He was very curious about the hidden room, which was why he suggested Angor to choose this ruin as a temporary residence.
Under everyone's curious gazes, Angor slowly explained, "But I think it has something to do with the runes on the knight's armor. Unfortunately, those damaged mageweaths are too damaged, and it's very difficult to repair them. "
"Knight's armor?" Tree Spirit was puzzled. "What are you talking about? What knight's armor? "
Angor pointed at where he was. "The knight's armor here. It was arranged in a human shape, so I thought someone entered the ruin ahead of me. But it's just an empty shell. "
Angor looked back and saw Tree Spirit still looking confused. Even Rein was looking at him with a puzzled look.
Angor also realized something was wrong. Tree Spirit and Rein didn't seem to know about the knight's armor.
"Is the knight's armor you're talking about the one you asked me about before?" Sunders broke the silence. He had never been here before, but Angor once asked him about the knight armor, so he knew a thing or two about it.
Angor nodded.
"You said there was a knight's armor here?" Rhine frowned. "But I remember that when we sealed the ruins, there was nothing here."
Tree Spirit nodded as well. "Yes, there was nothing here. Can you tell us more about the knight's armor? "
Angor was also puzzled. The knight's armor didn't exist before?
He did talk to Tree Spirit about the hidden room, but he forgot to mention the knight's armor. Did he really forget about it? Or did something interfere with his memory?
Angor shook his head and denied the possibility. If that was the case, he would explain to Sunders why the knight's armor was normal.
"Angor?" Tree Spirit couldn't help but call Angor's name again.
Tree Spirit's call brought him back to reality. He carefully chose his words and told Tree Spirit about the knight's armor.
Tree Spirit and Rein looked at each other.
Angor's story was indeed strange. Tree Spirit and Rhine were the ones who came to seal the ruins, so they knew everything about the layout of the ruins.
There was nothing in the hallway.
But now, Angor was telling them that there was an empty knight's armor in the shape of a human, and it was blocking their way?
What exactly happened here?
"Where is the knight's armor now?" Tree Spirit asked.
"I wanted to study the broken runes on the armor, so I took it away and put it in my study." Angor stepped forward again. "I'll take you there."
Angor didn't feel anything strange about the knight's armor until now. But after hearing Tree Spirit and Rein's words, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
What was the secret behind the knight's armor?
…
When they arrived at the study, Rein, Tree Spirit, and Sunders all saw the knight's armor placed aside by Angor.
This time, it wasn't in the shape of a human. Instead, it was "dismembered" and randomly placed on the table.
"Mister Rein, is there anything wrong with the armor?" Angor asked.
Rein thought for a moment and shook his head. "It's just an ordinary armor. I don't find anything strange about it. The only thing I don't understand is the broken runes on it. "
Both Rein and Angor couldn't decipher the broken runes.
"The more normal the armor looks, the weirder it is," Tree Spirit said. Tree Spirit said. He thought that he would find some secrets on the knight's armor, but it was even more ordinary than he thought. If not for the broken runes on it, Tree Spirit wouldn't even think that it was a supernatural item.
"The more I think about it, the weirder it feels. But I can't tell what it is." Tree Spirit shook his head. "Forget it. Let's figure out one thing first. Where did this knight's armor come from? "
Tree Spirit frowned and murmured in a low voice, "Could it be that Tizaro was right and there really is a hidden room in this ruin? Did this knight armor come out from the hidden room? "
"Or could it be that during the hundreds of years that the ruins have been sealed, someone has come here?"
