While the Stargazing Day was in full swing, Angor and the others were busy studying the knight armor.
Even if Maya wanted to contact them, she would have to wait until the Stargazing Day was over.
Tree Spirit carefully observed every detail of the knight armor. He was sure that before the ruin was sealed, this knight armor was not found in any of the rooms in the basement, let alone the corridor. It was an unnatural object that appeared out of nowhere.
Where did it come from? Where did it come from? That was the question in everyone's mind.
According to Tree Spirit's theory, there were two possibilities. First, the knight armor came from a hidden room. Second, an outsider entered the ruin.
These two guesses were Tree Spirit's deductions, but no matter which one it was, there were obvious loopholes.
If there was a hidden room in the ruin, and the knight armor came from that room, how did it come out? What was the source of its energy? Did the knight armor come out on its own? Or was there someone controlling it from the hidden room?
If it was placed here by an outsider, how did that outsider enter the already sealed ruin?
"I'm sure. When I brought Angor here, it was the first time the ruin was opened after it was sealed. Before that, there was no sign of the ruin being activated, "Tree Spirit explained.
In other words, if an outsider entered the ruin, he or she didn't use the front door.
Then where did he or she come from?
Questions popped up in everyone's mind one after another. Angor was confused as well. The seemingly ordinary knight's armor was now shrouded in a layer of mystery that could not be solved.
There were too many questions, and there was no way to answer them. Angor tried to listen to the others' opinions, but Tree Spirit and Sunders were frowning just like him. Rein, on the other hand, seemed to have found something.
Rhine's forehead emitted a light. After the light left his forehead, it turned into an eye made of light.
Angor could not describe the eye with words. It was both illusory and real. It did not seem to exist in this space or even time, but it was showing the real thing.
It reminded him of the time when he first saw the Time Thief who called himself Cassini when he was crafting the Crimson Shelter.
It was as if time was flowing in its pupils. Everything it saw was showing its original appearance.
Angor was completely shocked by the eye. Not only did it have a unique appearance, but it also gave off a powerful aura that no one could capture.
This was beyond Angor's imagination.
He didn't even know what this eye was. Was it some kind of organ transplant or some kind of unknown spell?
"That's … Truth's Eye." It was Sunders who spoke.
Eyes of Truth? He felt like he had heard it somewhere before. Tree Spirit explained, "The Eye of Truth is the ultimate form of the Eye of Truth."
Of course, he knew about Eye of Truth. It was a very difficult level-3 cantrip to learn. Its function was to see through the surface and see the truth of things.
It was often used to track down hidden traces and to search for the truth of history.
Eye of Truth was only a level-three cantrip. What level would its advanced version, Eye of Truth, reach?
"A level-three spell," Tree Spirit said calmly.
What did level-3 spells mean? Many level-2 cantrips required at least a year to study, let alone level-3 spells. Of course, there was a huge gap between apprentices and wizards in terms of research ability. Even so, it was impossible to create a new spell overnight.
It usually took more than ten years to study a new spell. Level-3 spells were even more unusual. Unless there were special circumstances, most level-3 spells would take a long time to study and develop. If he encountered the extremely difficult ones, it would take even longer.
Truth's Eye, on the other hand, was one of the more difficult level-3 spells. That was why even Sunders was shocked by it.
"Does Truth's Eye involve the domain of time?" Angor asked while looking at the eye that seemed to contain the flow of time.
Angor knew that Truth's Eye could search for the truth of history, but it did not touch the domain of time. It only used existing details to look back at the past. So did its ultimate form involve the domain of time?
This time, it wasn't Tree Spirit who answered his question. It was Rein, the caster.
"Truth's Eye involves part of the power of time, but it doesn't really enter the domain of time. It's not easy to enter the domain of time." Rein looked at Angor. If it was someone else who asked, Rein probably wouldn't go into detail. But since it was Angor, Rein didn't mind explaining. "Even if Truth's Eye involves part of the power of time, it's still a little different from what you think. It's because this level-3 cantrip was built in a special way. "
Rein didn't tell Angor exactly what was special about the cantrip. It wasn't something Angor needed to know right now.
"I agree with both of Tree Spirit's guesses," Rein continued, "but I agree with both of Tree Spirit's guesses. But both of them have many questions that need to be answered. The best way to solve these questions is to find the truth from the armor itself. "
It didn't matter if the knight's armor came here on its own or was brought here by someone else. There had to be an external force involved in its appearance in this ruin, and the traces left behind by that force were the knight's armor.
Rein wanted to use Truth's Eye to look for answers in the knight's armor's history.
"Under the observation of the Eye of Truth, I did find something interesting." Rein retracted Truth's Eye that was hovering in midair. When Truth's Eye returned to his forehead, Rein's eyes glowed faintly.
"Truth's Eye found some traces of cleaning on the knight's armor." Rein pointed at the broken runes on the armor. "These runes were cleaned up."
But what was the point of cleaning up the runes?
"Cleaning up the runes is pointless. But I also sensed the smell of the void from them. From the lingering smell, I can tell that the runes were created about a hundred years ago. "
Of course, Rein didn't tell Tree Spirit about the runes. He only said this to make it easier for him to explain.
"You mean this knight's armor was in the void a hundred years ago?" Tree Spirit's eyes lit up. "This ruin was still sealed a hundred years ago. So this knight's armor must be something from outside?! Then my first guess is wrong. It was brought here by an outsider! "
Rein said, "Because of the smell of the void, the knight's armor might have been brought here by an outsider. But your first guess might be right too. "
"If the knight's armor was brought here by someone, then that person must have entered this ruin through a special passage unknown to others. If the knight's armor is tainted with the smell of the void, then that person must have entered from the void? "
"The ruin itself is located in the void, which makes sense. But since you didn't find another exit, does that mean there's another passage or room you don't know about? "
"And that's the so-called hidden room."
