Chapter 85 Mysterious Black Slate
Looking at this scene, the disappointment on Pekara's face almost overflowed, her pink cheeks puffed up in dissatisfaction, and she opened another metal cabinet with a finger as if to vent her anger.
Unlike the first metal cabinet, the second metal cabinet only has a horizontal board, on which is placed a stone slab engraved with densely packed strange symbols.
The stone slab is made of an ancient black gneiss, which is slightly damaged at the corners and has obvious signs of weathering.
The symbols written on the stone tablet did not belong to any language known to the three people - they had sharp turns and deep angles, giving people a grotesque sense of dissonance.
The shapes of these characters are somewhat similar to the ancient dragon language that Anvis had learned, but they are also clearly different.
However, although it looks extremely ancient and mysterious, the stone slab itself does not have any magical fluctuations, and seems to be just an ordinary artifact excavated from some ancient ruins.
After sensing this, Pekara, who had been excited for a moment by the appearance of the stone slab, fell silent again.
"What a shame - it's hidden so well, and it's a secret room made of magic-hating alloy. I was expecting there to be some high-level magical artifacts hidden in it."
Pekara squeezed the staff in her hand and muttered something quietly, expressing dissatisfaction with the gap between her ideal and reality.
"Pekkala, our goal is to learn, isn't it? From a certain perspective, this stone tablet may be a better gain than high-level magic equipment."
Avis looked carefully at the slate in front of him, smiled slightly, and comforted the girl with gentle words.
Indeed, in the perception of spiritual power, this is just an ordinary relic stone slab of ancient age, with nothing unusual about it.
But this kind of unproblematic ordinariness is itself the biggest problem.
Theoretically, Claire's strange qualities began to take effect from the moment she entered the house and discovered the underground passage due to the collapse of the house.
But until they entered the secret room, apart from being blocked for a while by the magic-averse metal wall, nothing that could be considered troublesome occurred.
This is totally inconsistent with her characteristics.
So, although it seemed that he did nothing, for safety reasons, Avis had already secretly checked the items in the room.
Everything else is normal, but the most suspicious thing in the entire secret room is the stone slab in front of you.
"You're right, Anvis. Besides, we didn't really gain nothing. That box of ancient coins is enough to be called a treasure!"
Pecara nodded vigorously, her lovely smile returning to her face.
"Pekkala, Avis, there seems to be something wrong with this slate—"
Claire suddenly spoke, staring at the densely packed strange tiny symbols on the stone slab in front of her, her beautiful brows gradually furrowed.
"Did you find anything, Senior Claire?"
Hearing the girl's rare solemn voice, Avis' heart moved.
"Look, these words, are they... moving?"
In a very uncertain tone, Claire spoke strangely and hesitantly.
"The text is moving?"
Avis was stunned for a moment, then turned his head again and carefully examined those tiny strange symbols.
Pekara was also attracted by Claire's words and stared at the ancient stone slab.
Unconsciously, Avis' mind suddenly became a little dazed, and everything around him seemed to begin to turn into an illusion.
"It seems to be really moving..."
After an unknown amount of time, Pecara spoke in a low voice.
To Avis' ears, her voice was very soft, as if it came from a very far away place.
Soon, Avis could no longer notice these details. In his perception, the soft silver light coming from the surrounding walls dimmed little by little.
The stone slab in the cabinet became unusually clear in his eyes, and the words on the black gneiss began to creep and swell strangely. The grooves of the symbol lines became extremely deep, like a bottomless abyss.
Under Avis's gaze, the deep inscriptions on the characters kept widening and growing, gradually occupying his entire perception. The endless darkness hidden in them made him dizzy.
But in this darkness, he vaguely saw some fragments that did not belong to this time and space.
They reflected a fragment of the real world and passed by Avis at an alarming speed.
Ancient cities, twisted skies, steaming oceans, desolate wilderness...
The scattered fragments are like bubbles rising from the dark deep sea, illusory and fleeting.
As the endless darkness continued to deepen, the passing fragments gradually began to change, becoming clearer and more solid.
Finally, Avis saw it—
An extremely huge fragment, completely different from the other fleeting images, was coming towards him! . ….. ….….Where is this? Avis opened his eyes.
In front of him was a stone slab that was no different from the previous one. All the words on it had returned to normal, as if it had turned into an ordinary stone slab again.
Avis frowned slightly and planned to check on the other two people.
But when he was about to make a move, Avis immediately realized something was wrong——
He couldn't turn his head! He tried to sense the magic accessories, family amulets and other things on his body, but there was no response.
Avis frowned slightly in his heart again and began to think about the possible reasons and solutions for his abnormal condition.
At this moment, a hand reached out and closed the cabinet door, separating Avis from the stone slab.
The hand was long, slender, and fair. On the index finger and ring finger were two slender magic rings, one silver and one blue, with the unique elegant and gorgeous design style of the high elves.
The sleeves above the wrists were made of a kind of fine silk. Avis examined it carefully and found that the silk had a unique luster, which was very similar to an ancient elven silk.
From the perspective, it was his hand, but it was not his hand—
There was no doubt about it, even though he couldn't see it, Anvis had already determined his current situation.
One's consciousness is not in one's original body, but in a state similar to that of an observer.
So, what is the original owner of the current perspective? How did he get into this secret room? While Avis was thinking about these questions, the original owner of the perspective seemed to have completed what he was going to do, extinguished the magic candlestick, and turned to leave the secret room.
As his perspective shifted when he turned around, Avis noticed that the positioning array in the corner was lit.
A transparent twelve-sided crystal emitting a faint blue glow is embedded in the core of the magic circle, providing energy for teleportation and positioning.
Noticing this, Avis suddenly had a vague guess about the current situation.
The current scene is probably a scene from ancient times. I just don’t know what happened to the other two people, and whether they are watching the “documentary” together.
