In the castle at night, darkness and cool breeze coexist.
The climber walked along the wall and slowly climbed to the third floor, intending to cross the castle through the flying buttresses on the outer wall.
Behind him is an archaeologist standing in the distance.
The two of them passed by the traveling poet's room one after another without realizing it. In the room, the traveling poet who was getting the character's memory seemed to have something to say, and looked up at the door.
His eyes flashed, and through the thick wall door, he vaguely saw two figures sneaking past outside.
Well, judging from the distance, they should not be in the same group.
The traveling poet pondered for a moment - Qilisi had revealed several times intentionally or unintentionally that it was best not to walk around the castle at night.
But to be honest, a deserted night is also the best time to collect information and do things.
After thinking for a while, the traveling poet climbed out of the window sill.
…
In the palace, Xu Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw him leaving the room.
The outer wall of the castle has many protruding edges or relief decorations. The traveling poet's entire body was hung against the wall. He judged the position where the two people were moving, then let go and swung his body out.
He deftly landed on the rose relief on the fourth floor, stepped on the edge of the wall less than ten centimeters, and climbed over the edge of the castle.
During the dinner, Qilisi took him around the castle, and he had basically memorized the structure and route of the castle in his mind.
While jumping around the castle, when passing by the beam pillars, the traveling poet also took down the hanging brass oil lamps on the pillars one by one.
In an instant, the originally dark castle corridor became even darker.
Finally, he landed on a corridor close to the outer wall and re-hanged the oil lamps he had taken off, making the corridor extremely bright.
Looking from a distance, it is clearly different from the rest of the castle.
After hanging this corridor, the traveling poet made two more trips to get a few more oil lamps, and then hung them in the corner corridor as well.
At this time, the sneaky two people came over here.
After the traveling poet noticed the movement, he immediately jumped out of the circular arched window and stood close to the wall.
And all this was seen by Xu Shuo in the mirror.
After vaguely thinking about the purpose of the traveling poet's actions, he raised his eyebrows with interest, changed his hand to support his chin, and asked the blood vine to help him pour a glass of wine.
…
As soon as the climbers stepped onto this corridor from the flying buttress, they were startled by the brightly lit corridor.
He lowered his head to unfold the three-dimensional map, and then observed the surrounding structures.
There is not only one way to the high tower in the center of the castle. In fact, the high towers connected by countless flying buttresses can be accessed from all directions. However, when he came here just now, he chose the route based on the nearest location.
You can also go there by walking to the left now.
However, looking at the brightly lit corridor on the right, which was completely different from the dark castle, the climber frowned.
He opened the map and looked at the path of this corridor. After crossing this corridor, it would lead to another palace parallel to the tower.
It's not that far apart.
Then, the climber fell into deep thought.
Below the corridor stairs.
The archaeologist followed them quietly, and after seeing the climber standing around the corner without moving, he immediately hid behind the wall and peeked out.
Why didn't he keep walking?
Looking at this direction, he was originally planning to go to the tower, right?
It happened that the archaeologist also planned to go there to investigate first, but after discovering the climber's actions, she planned to ask this person to help explore the route first.
So what is happening now?
The archaeologists under the stairs could only vaguely see the light above, but could not know the specific situation.
Seeing that the climber had been standing there thinking for a full minute, she frowned slightly and gently opened the ordinary book in her arms.
In the sight of the archaeologist, bloody writing gradually appeared on the ordinary pages.
【Cage】......
【Covered Place】......
Bloody writing appeared and disappeared quickly, and then new writing appeared again, floating on the paper in no order, but a sentence was pieced together intermittently.
[The place shrouded in light is his prison]
The archaeologist frowned. Just when she was about to continue the exploration, she saw the climber above moved. He stepped towards the left passage and disappeared around the corner.
Seeing this, the archaeologist closed the book and climbed up the stairs carefully.
After seeing the scene in front of her, she finally understood why the climber had hesitated for so long.
…
On the high outer wall, the traveling poet who had been silently paying attention to the corridor was a little disappointed when he saw that the climber did not choose to walk over.
But unexpectedly, after a while, the archaeologist who also stepped onto the corner of the stairs chose this bright corridor after being stunned!
She stopped following the climbers.
I don't know what she was thinking about, but although the archaeologist's expression was full of vigilance and vigilance, she still chose to walk down this brightly lit corridor that was full of traps.
In the entire castle, this is the only place that is very different from other places. In addition to making people think that there may be something here - it also makes people think deeply, is this a deliberately set trap?
To be honest, it’s extremely suspicious!
What matters is whether the witnesses have the courage to take risks!
Watching the archaeologist walking cautiously forward step by step, the traveling poet felt deeply gratified. He turned around and climbed to a higher level, continuing to gather the oil lamps elsewhere.
After all, the routes in the castle are complicated. Without a clear route, it is impossible to reach the palace.
However, when he landed on the ground with the oil lamp he took off, he found that the corridors where he wanted to hang it were already full of oil lamps.
The lights are bright.
Traveling poet: "..."
…
After walking through this corridor, which was less than fifty meters but felt extremely weird, the corridor at the corner was also brightly lit, and in front of it was an upward staircase.
The archaeologist took a deep breath and moved forward.
She did think there might be a trap in this place.
But she had no choice.
After all, her mission is to "obtain Green's Codex", and it is almost self-evident who this Green is.
Because according to the "documentary" records, the witch has never really been together with the knight, so the possibility of the witch changing her name is not high, and the system should not have such a trap-like mission...
Well, probably not.
In short, she was more interested in the clues in the [Cage] than looking for clues in the witch's room!
According to the "documentary" legend she obtained, the knight was imprisoned in the palace of the castle by the witch.
The archaeologist stood at the corner of the corridor, looked at the situation outside through the carved window, and judged the location of the tower and his current position.
This brightly lit road seems to really lead to a palace.
And now she has climbed several stairs.
"It's really high..."
The archaeologist complained and continued moving forward resignedly. The fact that she encountered no danger along the way made her feel a little more relaxed.
Therefore, she didn't notice at all that there was a pair of dark eyes watching her quietly behind her.
