This was the second time Angor stepped into the light.
The first time, he was caught off guard. He didn't even notice the Nightmare Light before he was dragged into a nightmare. This time, Angor was fully prepared.
Bathing in the red light, Angor waited for the result anxiously.
Both Angor and Tree Spirit were nervous at first. But as time passed, they slowly calmed down.
Three minutes later.
The silence was broken by Tree Spirit. "It's been so long, but there's nothing wrong. It seems that your experiment is a success."
Tree Spirit had stepped into the light many times, so he knew how powerful the Nightmare Light was. Once someone was covered by the light, they would immediately fall into a nightmare without any time to recover. Angor could maintain the effect for three minutes … or maybe not. Thirty seconds or even one minute was enough to prove that the Forcefield worked.
"It's a success. But I need more tests."
Tree Spirit nodded. He knew what Angor meant. The Nightmare Light outside the door was much weaker than the one inside. Angor needed to prove that the Nightmare Light inside the door could also be affected.
Angor walked to the door.
The door was wide open, but looking in from the outside, they couldn't see anything at all. There was only a red light that kept surging.
Angor planned to test it further, but he still didn't want to risk his life. Like before, he took out a phantom limb from his sleeve.
Once the limb was covered by the Forcefield, Angor sent it into the door.
Tree Spirit also entered the Forcefield and stood beside Angor. He was ready to cut off the limb if anything went wrong.
The phantom limb was an extension of Angor's energy, thoughts, and spirit power. Angor also felt something strange when it went inside the door. It was as if the limb had broken through a barrier and entered another dimension.
As Tree Spirit said, the world inside the door was completely different from the one outside.
The red light inside the door was clearly in a boiling and active state. It was like a living creature that was constantly surging. The red light outside the door was so quiet that it looked like a maid who didn't know anything about the world.
Other than that, the red light outside the door couldn't trigger the Forcefield at all. But the red light inside the door was different. Angor could clearly feel that the red light was trying to break through the Forcefield and bring nightmares to the phantom limb inside the Forcefield.
Unfortunately, the red light still couldn't break through the Forcefield's Forcefield.
At best, Angor could only use a little bit of nightmare aura to maintain the Forcefield.
This was a piece of cake for Angor, who had the green tunnel rune that could continuously produce nightmare aura. As long as Angor wanted to, he could maintain the Forcefield forever.
Angor controlled the phantom limb to circle around the Forcefield's Forcefield for about a minute before he slowly retracted it.
"The situation inside the door is indeed more complicated than outside, but the domain can still be maintained stably, and it can block the corrosion of the Light of Nightmare."
Tree Spirit finally felt relieved.
"So, we can go in and take a look now?" As soon as Tree Spirit said this, his nervous expression instantly turned serious. However, there was also a hint of eagerness in this seriousness.
He was really curious about what other secrets were hidden in this hidden room apart from the Nightmare Light.
Angor nodded. "I think so."
Tree Spirit said that he wanted to check the room first, but when it came to entering the door, he became cautious again. "The forcefield might be able to stop the Nightmare Light, but we can't be sure if there are other dangers inside. We need to be careful. Don't be hasty. "
Tree Spirit's expression was serious. It wouldn't be a big deal if it was someone else, but Angor was a key figure in the future. He couldn't afford to let anything happen to him.
If Angor's forcefield wasn't limited and couldn't be used on other people, Tree Spirit would have chosen to explore the room alone.
"I understand." Angor nodded. The unknown was the scariest thing. He wouldn't let his guard down until he was sure of the danger.
After reaching a consensus on being cautious, Angor and Tree Spirit carefully entered the room.
As soon as they entered, Angor sensed the change in the intensity of the Nightmare Light. He also noticed a strange power separating the room from the outside world.
Perhaps it was because of this power that the Nightmare Light didn't leak out of the room.
Even after entering the room, their visibility did not improve. Furthermore, the Light of Nightmares prevented them from using spells to explore their surroundings. They could only move forward slowly.
About three steps forward, Angor saw the black coat rack mentioned by Tree Spirit.
There was nothing on the clothes rack that looked like a dry tree branch.
This meant that the owner of the room didn't come back. That was good news.
They kept moving forward. After about three steps, Angor noticed that there was still a wall on their left, but an open space on their right.
It could be seen that the layout of this room was on the right side.
However, for safety's sake, they didn't go to the right side. Instead, they kept moving along the left wall.
Soon, they found a black metal plate hanging high on the left wall.
"That's a universal magnetic plate." Angor quickly recognized it.
Magnetic plates were a special storage device used by traditional nobles. They had a strong suction force against metal objects, so they were often used to hold metal accessories such as necklaces, rings, and badges.
The Universal Magnetic Plate, on the other hand, was an improved version of the Universal Magnetic Plate. Not only could it absorb metals, but it could also absorb all objects with supernatural powers.
Usually, when a wizard found a universal magnetic plate while exploring an ancient ruin, he or she would find some supernatural objects left on it.
Unfortunately, they found that there was nothing on the universal magnetic plate.
"Universal magnetic plates are usually placed next to the bed, so people can stick their accessories on them when they go to bed," Angor said. "So, this place should be close to the bed."
Sure enough, after taking two or three steps forward, they saw a very simple bed.
The bed was covered with a fluffy silk quilt. It looked a little messy, but the surface of the quilt was as clean as new, as if the owner just left the bed a second ago.
Angor noticed that there was a black, fist-sized ore placed in the center of the quilt.
He held the ore in his hand and sensed it. It was cold and heavy.
"It's Star Iron," Angor said as he weighed the metal in his hand. "About 400 grams. Good quality. But it's different from ordinary Star Iron. I think it has a strange aura? "
Tree Spirit also sensed for a moment and said, "It's similar to the aura of the Light of Nightmares. Maybe it's because the Star Iron was placed here and absorbed the Light of Nightmares for a long time?"
"That might be the case, but under the Alchemy Eye's appraisal, its transcendent characteristics have not changed. I wonder if it'll change after I use it. "
While thinking, he put the Star Iron into his bracelet so that he could experiment with it in the future when he had the chance.
Apart from the Star Iron, there was nothing else around the bed.
"I don't know why they put raw ores on the bed. Is it a quirk of alchemists?" Tree Spirit mumbled and followed Angor's lead.
After walking for about ten steps, they saw the wall turning to the right.
In other words, they had finished exploring the left side of the wall.
"Judging from the layout on the left, this room isn't big." Tree Spirit looked at the red light on the right and frowned. "And the most important part of the 'bedroom', the bed, is already here. According to the traditional layout, there should be some tables, chairs, or cabinets. "
"But I didn't see anything strange so far. That's strange."
"Maybe the right side is where the abnormalities are. Let's keep looking."
Tree Spirit didn't say anything else. For the first time, the two of them moved to the right side of the wall.
Just in case, they walked slowly, and as they moved slowly, they saw something new.
It was a long, silver-colored workbench.
"There's a workbench in the bedroom. Is he conducting experiments in the bedroom as well?" Tree Spirit looked at the workbench in surprise.
Angor touched the workbench and used Alchemy Eye to analyze it.
"Most common workbenches used by wizards in the southern wizarding region are from Floating Mech City. But this one doesn't have the special symbol of Floating Mech City. " While speaking, he pressed a button on one of the buttons, which brought up a platform with multiple functions. "The machines here look old too. I think they're from two or three thousand years ago."
"That fits the era of the ruin's creator," Tree Spirit said.
"Probably used by the ruin's creator. Judging from the traces on the workbench, he used it a lot. Too bad the workbench is clean from inside to outside. "
Angor paused and walked to the back of the workbench. "This workbench doesn't have a recording function. Normally, there should be a place to record things, such as a stone table or a desk …"
As he mumbled to himself, he saw a tall chair behind the workbench, as well as a large desk with piles of parchments and books on it.
