Chapter 2872 The newborn will eventually become a king(1/2)
Looking at the hidden door that slowly opened, Angel couldn't help but have a look of surprise in his eyes.
You know, the first time he entered this tree house, he used his mental power to check the surrounding layout, and there was no trace of anything extraordinary.
There are no mechanisms or magic patterns.
But what was before him now, whether it was the self-illuminating bird that used itself as a lamp, or the hidden door that led to nowhere, all showed that this place was not as ordinary as it seemed on the surface.
But why couldn't he detect anything strange here before?
"You don't have to be surprised. When the wise man came here for the first time, he didn't find the mechanism here." Laplace said softly: "If I didn't control this space and asked me to find it, I wouldn't know where the mechanism is.
Place."
Angel hesitated for a moment: "You haven't even noticed it. Could it be that... this mechanism is actually mobile?"
Laplace was stunned for a moment and looked at Angel with interest: "How did you guess that the mechanism was moving?"
Angel: "There was no trace of the mechanism before. Either the mechanism was not found due to lack of strength, or the mechanism was not here in the first place."
"Since even the wise master didn't find the mechanism when he first came, then the only answer is the latter."
This is indeed Angel's reasoning logic. However, he was able to think of this immediately because he encountered a moving mechanism when he went to the Snooker base not long ago. If he hadn't taken over the base laboratory
The magic energy array might be trapped there.
He had just learned a lesson. No matter how ignorant Angel was, he would not forget it as soon as he turned the page.
Laplace showed a look of realization: "In terms of quick thinking, you are very similar to a wise man. The wise man also judged immediately that the mechanism is moving."
After praising him, Laplace said: "You are right, the mechanism itself is mobile. The mechanism here is hidden in the roots of the big tree. Only when the bird light is on, the big tree will move.
The mechanism is lifted from the undetectable root to the position where the bird's lamp is."
Laplace said as he walked towards the hidden door: "Although this is the case, I still don't know how the big tree achieves this mechanism. Based on the joint guesses of the wise man and I, we finally agreed that maybe it is
The big tree has intelligence in reality."
"Reflection space can bring in energy and unenlightened things, but enlightened creatures cannot be reflected unless they actively pull the other party in."
"When I discovered this mirror memory, it had been floating in the empty mirror sea for some time. There is no way to directly use the mirror memory to pull the creatures in the place corresponding to the mirror into the space."
When Laplace said this, he sighed with regret: "If the big tree really has intelligence, as long as it can be pulled into the reflection space, maybe you can know the secrets here."
Laplace was feeling regretful at this moment, but if there really was a situation where creatures could be pulled into the reflected space, it would actually be equivalent to pulling real creatures into the mirror realm.
This is not like Angel's Dream Wilderness, which is just a dream wandering, but actually violently pulling a creature from another world into the Mirror Realm.
This requires strong strength as a foundation.
Moreover, Laplace fights "away" and pulls the creatures at "home" into the Mirror Realm. In terms of strength comparison, Laplace itself has to lose three points.
Angel didn't know whether the special creatures in a special place were strong or not, but if they really tried to fight, they might not be able to be brought back to the Mirror Realm by Laplace.
Laplace: "However, even though the intelligence of the big tree has not been pulled into the reflection space, some unique rules are still followed here. As long as the bird light is on, the mechanism will be opened."
To put it simply, it doesn't matter if you don't have the intelligence to control the movement of the mechanism. With "muscle memory", as long as the mechanism is correct, the mechanism can continue to operate.
…
Angel followed Laplace into the hidden door.
Behind the door is an upward spiral staircase.
Laplace walked in front and said as he walked: "You should have seen just now that there are actually quite a few tree holes outside. The interiors of these tree holes are probably similar to the layout of the rooms we just saw."
"Most tree holes have mechanisms. They can be connected to a hall."
"This is it."
Laplace stopped and looked forward. Angel followed Laplace's line of sight and saw that the spiral staircase had reached the end. Directly in front of them was a path about five or six meters.
At the end of the path is a spacious hall.
The hall is still dark and it is difficult to see the specific situation clearly, but Angel guesses that the so-called "murals" should be in this hall.
"There are five such halls in total inside the tree trunk. They are about the same size and have similar interior furnishings. The only difference is that the murals inside are different."
Angel: "In other words, including the mural on the top of the tree, there are six murals in total?"
Laplace nodded: "Yes. So even though there are many tree holes outside, they are actually connected to these five halls, and there are only six murals."
This is good, at least you don’t need to run around to see the murals, and you don’t need to spend too much time.
But then again, this arrangement should have some meaning.
Angel proposed this idea, and Laplace also agreed: "The wise man also said something similar. His guess was that there might be a certain ethnic group living in this big tree, and this ethnic group has a common belief.
And the hall connected from the hole in the tree at home is a place of worship for their common faith."
"Of course, it is also possible that these halls have different functions, including sacrifices, transactions, exchanges and even friendships."
Generally speaking, the five halls are the public places for this group of people who live in big trees.
However, the specific function is currently unknown.
With thoughts in mind, Angel and Laplace walked into the first hall.
After walking in, Laplace waved gently, and along the stairs they came from before, little birds riding on the beige wind kept flying in. As soon as they entered, they immediately jumped into the shell grids on both sides of the wall.
Become a bird lamp.
A large number of bird lights light up together, illuminating the hall extremely brightly.
As the lights turned on, Angel also saw the so-called "murals".
Unlike the murals that Angel imagined, the murals here are only on one wall. Moreover, the murals have a beautiful wooden frame, which looks like an ordinary appreciation painting.
It's just that this appreciation painting is very large, occupying almost three-quarters of the wall.
As for the content of the painting... it's as abstract and incomprehensible as ever.
However, one thing is worthy of attention. The mural is still carved, which causes the picture itself to have ups and downs. It is very similar to the mural on the top of the tree, both of which produce obvious light and shadow.
But the light and shadow on the top of the tree depends on the light source from the sky. But the light and shadow on the mural here comes from the bird lights densely covered on the wall of the hall.
Laplace had been paying attention to Angel's gaze. Seeing his gaze shift from the carvings to the bird lamp on the wall, he asked curiously: "Or is it light and shadow?"
Angel: "I don't know, I have to try it first."
Laplace: "How to try?"
Angel thought for a moment and simulated the mural through illusion. At the same time, twelve lights were distributed around the mural, which also corresponded to the twelve bird lights in the hall.
Angel began to try to turn off some lights to distinguish between light and shadow.
As the lights went out one by one, Angel discovered that according to the layout, these twelve lights happened to be in the four directions of the mural, with three lights in each direction. And the turning on and off of these three lights only affected the four directions of the mural.
one part.
This makes the exploration of light and shadow easier.
Angel began to try different combinations, and finally presented the most regular light and shadow changes.
When Angel accelerated "time", the light and shadow in the illusion changed extremely quickly, which turned the abstract lines into a "story".
When Laplace saw this scene, he couldn't help but be surprised: "This is...the throne?"
At first glance, the light and shadow appear to be indeed a throne.
Moreover, this throne is more obvious than the previous "Swaddle", almost to the point of being recognized at a glance.
However, there is an obvious protruding shadow outline on the armrest of the throne, and the shadow is much deeper, unlike the shadow of the throne itself.
"...This should be a person sitting on the throne?" Angel hesitated for a while and guessed.
Laplace looked at it carefully for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "It seems to be true...but, what does this mean?"
Angel thought of the mural on the top of the tree. If the mural was finally confirmed to be "Swaddling Baby", could it be interpreted as——
"The newborn will eventually become a king?"
After hearing what Angel said, Laplace thought: "You mean, the baby in the swaddling clothes slowly grows up and eventually becomes a king."
Angel nodded.
Laplace: "This logic makes sense. As far as I know, similar legendary growth stories often appear in murals. However, we have to look at several other murals to see if this is the case."
The topmost mural and the bottom mural are the beginning and end of the story described in the mural.
To be continued...
