The stone platform looked like it was used for some kind of sacrificial ritual. It also looked like a place to store important things. In short, it looked like it was from a very long time ago.
"I think he should be there soon," the old man said to Avina with a smile.
Avina was confused. Only the Snow Fox looked at her with a smile.
I didn't think too much about it and quickly ran up the platform. At the top of the platform, I saw an antique wooden box. My heart stirred. Would this box contain some useful treasures?
I carefully picked up the box. As soon as I got the box, I immediately jumped down from the high platform and hid my body. I had heard that this kind of ancient building often had hidden mechanisms. If I touched someone's treasure, it wouldn't be fun if some mechanism was activated.
However, I waited for a long time, but nothing special happened. Only then did I heave a sigh of relief. I wasn't in a hurry to open the box. The box could be opened after I got out. Right now, I decided to use the remaining time I had to explore the cave.
After going around the high platform, I was surprised to find that behind the high platform, there was actually a stone door. Beside the stone door, there were inscriptions written in Ancient Elven and Ancient Northlandic.
"Open when the moon is full, close when the sun rises."
Could it be that this stone door is telling me to leave this place before daybreak? Thinking of this, I casually pushed the door. Unfortunately, the stone door didn't budge.
At this time, the stone door opened by itself. I hugged the box I had taken from the platform and walked out of the cave. At this time, the sky wasn't as dark as before. The East was faintly turning white. This was the sign that the sun was about to rise.
I was glad that I had almost forgotten the time. If I had missed it, the stone door would have closed and locked me inside. That would have been terrible.
When the first ray of sunlight shone into the valley from the east, the stone door in front of me, without any warning, suddenly let out the sound of a mechanism, and with a "rumble", it closed.
After the stone door closed, I went to the stone door again. However, no matter what I did this time, the stone door remained silent and didn't seem to have any intention of opening.
It seemed like the ancient elven language and Northland language on the stone door didn't lie to him. If the stone door was closed, it really couldn't be opened. If he wanted to open it again, he would have to wait until the night of the full moon.
Although I was a little disappointed, it was good that I already had the box in my hands. Everything was waiting to be opened when I got back.
"Young man, are you alright?" A familiar voice sounded behind me. I turned my head and found that the blond old man had appeared behind me at an unknown time.
"You kicked me down from such a high mountain. Do you really think I'm made of steel?" I thought about how I fell down from the top of the mountain last night. My bones were still aching.
"Aren't you still alive? Belgrave Flammarion. "The blond old man relaxed when he saw that I was fine. Although he had been very calm before, he was actually very nervous in his heart. After all, I had fallen from such a high mountain. Although I was the Belgrave Flammarion, the blond old man wasn't sure if I could withstand it.
"Even if I'm not dead, I'm not far from it." I hesitated whether or not I should tell the blond old man what I had seen and heard. But after some hesitation, I decided to tell him everything. After all, the old man had been cultivating in this mountain for many years.
"Old man, I entered a stone door in the valley yesterday." I pointed to the stone door behind me and said to the blond old man.
"Yes …" The blond old man had seen the box in my hand and knew that I had entered the cave last night. But now that he heard me admit to it, he was very happy. At least I still chose to trust him and not be on guard against him.
"And then …" I didn't know what the blond old man meant, so I told him what I had seen and heard after entering the cave. Finally, I handed the box in my hand to the blond old man and said, "This is the box!"
"Keep it for yourself." The blond old man glanced at the box and said indifferently.
"You don't want to take a look?" I was puzzled. Why didn't the blond old man care about such a wonderful thing?
"It's useless to look." The blond old man shook his head.
Although I had a lot of questions, the blond old man's attitude of "don't ask me" and "do whatever you want" made me hesitate.
Together with the blond old man, we returned to the old man's cave from the fork in the valley.
Avina saw that I had come back safe and sound. She was so happy that she danced and hugged me.
The blond old man fell asleep on his stone bed. Only Avina and I were left holding the box and staring at each other. At this time, the Snow Fox also found a place and curled up into a ball to sleep.
Since the blond old man was indifferent to this, I could only study the box by myself. I put the box on the stone table and began to study it.
The small box was made in an ancient style, but it wasn't locked. After I opened the clasp, the lid could be opened easily.
My eyes widened, and my breathing started to quicken! Avina was next to me, and she was as nervous as I was. Finally, the lid of the box was opened, and a scroll was placed inside.
I picked up the scroll and saw a gem at the bottom of the box. I hurriedly picked up the gem and carefully examined it under the light.
The gem's quality was very good, but it was also very strange. There was a pattern carved on it that looked like a star.
I carefully unfolded the scroll, but I was a little disappointed. The scroll was very thin, and there was only one sheet.
At this moment, everything in front of me turned dark, and I felt like I had fallen into an illusion. Was there a problem with the scroll? I felt like I was in a dark place.
I was the only one around, and I was worried about Avina. At this moment, the boundless stars suddenly lit up.
At this moment, a voice seemed to be calling me from the endless darkness. Who was it? Where was this place?
I didn't know what was happening, but I guessed that it had something to do with the scroll.
"Hello, Belgrave Flammarion. You're finally here."
I heard an old but powerful voice. It was a voice I had never heard before. How did he know that I was a descendant of the Belgrave Flammarion?
"My name is Bregan Martin. I'm very happy to meet the new you," the voice said.
What? Could it be the legendary strongest under the stars, Bregan Martin? He was the creator of the Demon Hunter's Blade.
