City of Dimlight

Chapter 142 Truth

In front of them, an empty but bright area appeared, in the middle of which was a huge stalagmite, carved into the shape of a castle. The mountain wall surrounded the castle, and the stone wall was inlaid with countless huge ores, shining brightly.

"My God," Bosco shouted, "It's all light stones! So many, such a big light stone!" He looked at the stunned Obix and hit him with his shoulder: "I don't think you've ever seen such a big light, have you?"

The child nodded dullly. He also stared at the castles illuminated by the light stones and muttered: "It's really a lot of big..."

The indescribable beauty of the castle against the green grass and the blue sky. Some of the large herbivores walked slowly on the grass. Leo tried to feel it and then found the truth - all these are just images created by magic. Whether it is blue sky and green grass or trees, they are all fake, only those who are alive. The animals are real.

Five pairs of eyes looked at the other side of the door in curiosity. If the journey through the tunnel makes them disappointed because they have not seen a magnificent scene consistent with the rumors, then the scene in front of them has compensated them. They have now arrived at Holdlin Castle, but it seems to be not just a castle, but a complete huge valley that extends hundreds of feet beyond their horizon. They are at the waist of the valley, and a stone ladder hemog on the rock winding down to the gate of the castle.

Leo winked at his friends and began to take the lead down the stairs. He has now almost confirmed the location of this place, which is the legendary place. They accelerated their pace and stood in front of the castle gate an hour later. This group of friends once again found themselves standing on a stone platform and looking down at another aisle, which is a huge stone door. The porch is almost a room in itself. It has high ceilings and gorgeous walls. There are torches burning every few feet on both sides, arranged parallel to the wall. On both sides.

Several people stood in front of the door, thinking about whether to knock on the door or push the door. All their eyes were on Leo, hoping that he could come up with an idea, but he actually didn't think about what to do.

But at this time, they heard a "squeaky" sound. The wall next to the stone door cracked, and an entrance that could just enter and exit appeared. A voice came: "Please come in, distinguished guest!"

The friends followed Leo in, and less than ten minutes later, they found themselves as if they had arrived at their destination, a room full of books and test vessels.

At the edge of a stone platform, an old man was looking at them.

Bosk once met Elder Wolf on his journey. He is an old elf, and his skin looks like old bark, but no matter who looks at the old man's age, he will recognize Elder Wolf as his descendant.

The old man's hair has been completely white, and even his eyebrows are white. His drooping eyebrows and hair cover most of his face, and he needs to open his hands to reveal his eyes - he is doing this now. Are you the hermit of this castle? Leo asked.

"Yes, I'm the hermit Rio here," he replied in a peaceful voice. Welcome, the promoter of fate roulette. Siramis has told me that you will come and told me all kinds of things about you.

Even if his heart is full of respect for the solemn environment around him, Bosk still did not miss this mention of Silamis. He looked at Leo and met the leader's eyes with a heartfelt smile.

Leo turned his head away and smiled.

"This is a laboratory," Rio declared, "this is the largest room in the castle. Of course, except for the library.

He noticed that there seemed to be a doubtful expression in Leo's eyes. I know you came here for your own purpose," he explained. But history often can't be replaced in one sentence. There are a lot of things you need to know. I also need to sort out my thoughts to know how to start telling!"

"I'm really impatient." The little angel said that it pointed out Leo's weakness.

"I agree," Rio said, "but now invite you over and let's have dinner together. We still have a lot of things to do tonight.

He took them through the door to a similar and illuminated porch. As they passed by, Leo noticed many different portraits on the wall, most of which were not seen.

This group of friends and Rio dined around a huge round table. Its texture shows the age. It is engraved with mysterious words, many of which are long-lost languages in the world, even the well-informed Aurora doesn't recognize. Food, like other things here, gives an impression of the past. However, unlike the appearance, it is very delicious and tastes like what they have never eaten before.

When they ate, Rio talked about the legends of the great heroes of ancient times and all the major events in the world recently. He said in detail that many things sounded as if he had experienced it himself. This group of partners are very attentive listeners, although Leo is eager to know the answers he needs.

When the meal was over, Rio stood up from his chair and looked around them with a deliberately curious intensity. That day will come, maybe a thousand years later, when I will tell the story again. I'm sure that one of the stories I told at that time must be about you and your glorious adventure.

This group of friends can't answer the glory the old man put on them. Even Garlock, who was difficult to be moved, did not blink for a long time.

"Come on," Rio instructed, "let you take a new path." He took them through another door to the largest library underground.

In this huge room, different thick and thin scrolls cover all the walls or are stacked high on the table full of cloth. Rio specifically pointed out that one of the small tables on the wall has the only book spread out on it.

"I have been studying the wheel of fate for many years," he explained. And among all the books about mystery, I found the most likely situation.

Leo walked to the book and grabbed its edge with trembling hands. It is written in a grammatically rigorous language, which is a font that almost disappears in the underground world. But Leo could understand it, and it soon knew where he learned the language - the words taught by his masters Simon and Matthew - the original ground text. He searched quickly and then read the relevant paragraphs aloud.

"In the launch of the wheel of fate, there must be a fate-related person who connects two points and can operate the divine power. His experience is closely related to all this, guiding his path and finally touching the rotation of the wheel of fate.

"Run the divine power," he whispered. I know what it means." He buried himself in the book again.

"Other than that, it's hard for you to find anything else." Rio said. Because books about the wheel of fate have been annihilated over the years. This book only mentions why the wheel of fate began to rotate. I felt all this and knew that it rotated because of someone - I think this person is you.

Leo is not listening. He reads it for himself and will devour the inheritance of fate written here, whether it is important or not.

The hermit took a scroll from a high shelf and spread out its ancient sheepskin scroll, which is a study of disaster.

Everyone watched the final result of the disaster, and they all noticed the final description: From then on, human beings can only live underground, waiting for the complete end of the disaster, eager to return to the ground!

Bosk raised his head in surprise: "This means that we...is...is..." His teeth tapping up and down, unable to say the following words, or Garlock added to him, "Are we living on the ground here?"

Rio nodded, "This is just a place for human beings to escape from disaster, and we are only the remaining survivors - only by finding out the cause of the disaster and returning to the ground can we bring all races back to a happy life!"

"What's the happiness of returning to the ground?" Bosk asked that after learning the news, he was strongly rejected and found out the reason for living here.

"Food," Rio did not say anything, but Leo said softly, "The grain on the ground can be sown freely, and the yield is more than ten times that of the ground. As long as there is enough food, there won't be so much death and so much famine!"

Bosk didn't say anything. He knew that everything Leo told was true. Too many people died of hunger. Every year, countless children died because they didn't get enough food. The kings of the Liberty Alliance Kingdom had half of the time barely enough for their own consumption, and the other half of the time they had food to sell to them. His country.

According to Leo, in the earth, food can meet the needs of all people, so human life can be greatly extended and everyone can live a well-sed life.

The hermit stopped for a while to sort out what had happened. You should find a way back to the ground," he suggested. If necessary, you should even unify the whole underground world.

Leo is a little puzzled: "If you go back to the ground, it's not a big problem whether you find a passage or dig a road. Why hasn't no one done all this?" He then said, "As long as there is enough support, I can find or dig a path back to the ground!"

"It's not that simple," Rio stared at him: "Now it's not just to return to the ground, but more importantly, find out the reason why the stone fell in those days!" He explained, "Even if you return to the ground, what about Tianshi again?"

"So?" Bosk interrupted.

"So you need to find the way back, and then find out the cause of the disaster," he sighed: "We all thought that the Stone was a natural disaster, but many years later we found out that this was not a natural disaster, but it was made!"

"Manufacture?" Everyone took a deep breath: "Who can create such a big disaster?"

Rio looked at a few people, "This is what you need to find!"
