"No one else entered the ruin? How is that possible? " Tree Spirit's face was full of disbelief. "If no outsider came in, what's with this knight armor? Did it just appear out of thin air? "
Facing Tree Spirit's doubts, Rhine did not refute. Instead, he nodded and said, "You're right. This armor did appear out of thin air."
The place where the knight's armor first appeared was naturally the place that Rhine paid the most attention to. He used the Eyes of Truth to check the corridor on the top many times. In the cracks of time, he also found a lot of information. Combining all the information, Angor came to a conclusion: the armor didn't show any signs of movement. It simply appeared at the same spot at a certain time! And it never moved until he took it away a few days ago.
Tree Spirit frowned after listening to Rein's explanation. He didn't ask Rein what he learned from Truth's Eye, but he trusted Rein's conclusion.
If the armor appeared in the corridor out of thin air, did that mean …
"Maybe there's a hidden room near where the armor appeared?" Angor suddenly asked.
Tree Spirit was thinking the same thing as Angor.
However, Rein shook his head. "I can't be sure. I didn't find anything strange around the armor. If there's a hidden room or passage, there should be some traces left behind. But I can't find any traces, not even in the passage of time. "
"If the armor appeared out of thin air, it must be some kind of spatial spell. Since it's a spatial spell, it can't just stay at one spot."
"You have the Illusory Gate, so you should know that spatial magic can be used for short-distance teleportation. The place where the knight's armor was found might have a hidden room, but the probability of it being there is actually no different from the other places in the ruins."
In other words, under the existence of spatial displacement, if the knight's armor really came out from the hidden passage, then it could land anywhere in the ruins instead of being fixed at a fixed point.
"Then we still don't have any clues." Angor sighed in disappointment. "Then we still don't have any clues."
"Apart from that, I found two other things that caught my attention. But I'm not sure if they're clues or not." Rein sighed.
Usually, something that could trigger a wizard's intuition was a sign. Of course, it was also possible that Angor was overthinking it.
However, since both Angor and Sunders found nothing, whatever Rein found was worth discussing.
"The first thing that caught my attention is the bronze plate on the door." Rein paused and looked at the door of the study. "I don't think it has anything to do with the armor. Maybe it's meaningless. But since my intuition sensed it, maybe it means something. "
Bronze plate on the door?
Angor knew what Rein was referring to. They walked down the corridor and found that there were three floors below. There was a bronze plate hanging on the door of each room on each floor.
These were the first things Angor noticed when he first entered the ruin. Because on each of the bronze plates, there was a sentence written in a messy, flowery font.
For example, the bronze plate in the reception hall read, "Although this place is used for receiving guests, there are not many who are qualified to meet me."
Another example was the bronze plate in the storage room, which read, "The storage room is so big that it's better to expand the laboratory."
The words written on the plates had a distinct personality. They were both complaining about the owner and showing off the owner's special traits. Angor remembered them clearly.
However, there was one thing that confused him. The plates were not placed by the original owner of the ruin. It was the second owner, Tizarro.
According to their speculations, Tizaro should have nothing to do with the knight's armor.
"You also know that the words on the bronze plate were written by Tizaro. What's so strange about it? "Tree Spirit asked Rein's question.
"Maybe it has nothing to do with the armor, but there's something strange about the plates," Rein said.
Rein paused for a moment. He wasn't trying to create an atmosphere. Instead, he reached out a hand and twisted it in the air.
From the naked eye, there was no movement at all, but on the level of spiritual power, one could see that Rhine had turned a tiny wisp of spiritual power into several thin threads, which rushed to various parts of the ruins at an extremely fast speed.
In less than half a second, the spirit threads were all retrieved. At the same time, he took back the four bronze plates that were placed on the door.
The four plates represented the reception room, study, storage room, and laboratory. At the bottom of each bronze plate, there was a corresponding flowery font.
Rein placed the plates on the desk and asked them to check them again.
"There's nothing wrong with the plates. The sarcastic words and the way they express themselves are exactly like Tizarro's personality." Looking at the bronze plates, Tree Spirit could almost see Tizaro scribbling on the door with a disdainful look and a proud tone.
"The plates were written by Tizarro. At first glance, there's nothing wrong with them. However, when I used the Eye of Truth to check, I found an interesting piece of information in the cracks of time. "At this moment, Rhine pushed one of the bronze plates out of the four bronze plates.
"The time on this plate is different from the others. There are obvious traces of modification."
All the other plates were written at the same time. This was normal. It was in line with anthropological behavior. When humans decided to do something, they would usually choose to do it at the same time, or at a similar time.
It was like assigning a room number to each room in a building, starting from 101 and ending at 901. Such a series of tasks that were easy to do would usually be done on the same day. Even if there was a delay, it wouldn't take too long.
The same was true for Tizarro's plate. Since he started writing, he probably finished it on the same day.
This was indeed the case. The other three plates were all written on the same day. Only the plate that Rein pushed out was written later and had traces of modification.
"Is there something wrong with the timeline?" Tree Spirit murmured. "This is indeed strange."
Everyone turned to look at the bronze plate that Rhine had pushed out.
Coincidentally, this bronze plate was the same one that belonged to the study they were in.
In Tizarro's cursive words, it said, "I don't need a bedroom, but I want a study where no one can disturb me."
