Although they were a little surprised that the castle that was supposed to be in the Black Forest would appear in the wilderness of the Moissan continent, neither Leo nor Sylvia had their previous doubts, because if we look at the real situation in the Black Forest

If that is the case, the entire world of Velen is just a part of the Black Forest World Tree, then the wasteland is naturally a part of the Black Forest. The only difference is that the Black Forest is completely closed, while the Wasteland is an open Black Forest.

Although due to some restrictions of the Black Forest Laws, things in the Black Forest cannot appear outside the Black Forest, but judging from the situation of White Deer, it is obvious that this law is either loosened or can be extended infinitely. The Black Forest is both

It can be said to be the Black Forest of Velen Continent, but it can also be regarded as the entire Black Forest World Tree. In this way, the White Deer can appear in the Kingdom of Inge and the Black Forest of Velen Continent in these places in the Mosang Continent.

In this way, it is not incomprehensible that this corner castle that originally belonged to the Black Forest appeared here.

"Since the Angle Castle was moved from the Black Forest, then..." Sylvia had some ideas at this time, looked at the heart crystal of the Abyss Demon, and said: "Then the heart of this Abyss Demon will

Could it be that they were also transferred from the Black Forest?"

"It's possible." Leo didn't say too sure, but responded vaguely.

Although the Black Forest can be said to be the core area of ​​the Abyss invasion, according to Leo's understanding, there are at least two abyssal fissures hidden in the Black Forest. One is Lanxi, where Leo and Sylvia have been, and the other is

The place is deeper in the Black Forest, guarded by the deer of the Black Forest.

Therefore, it is not impossible that the Great Demon of the Abyss appears in the Black Forest and dies in the Black Forest. However, one thing that makes people confused is that no matter how the heart of the Great Demon of the Abyss is not taken seriously by the beings in the Black Forest, it should not be treated as such.

It should be thrown around. This thing should either be completely destroyed or banned and preserved. It should never be thrown into a place like Moissan Wasteland where the Abyss Demon may be resurrected.

Leo expressed his doubts, and Sylvia also had a blank look on her face after hearing this. Then she pointed towards the corner castle and said, "Should we go in and take a look? Maybe we can find something.

clue?"

After hearing Sylvia's suggestion, Leo thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement. He took the first step and walked to the gate of the Corner Castle and pushed the gate open forcefully.

The defense of the corner fort is not only reflected in its unique pointed shape and thick city walls. The gate of the corner fort is also a stone gate made with a special method. In terms of defensive power, it is much stronger than ordinary city gates. Moreover, because the city gate

There are many defensive holes on the top and surrounding walls for shooting arrows and throwing fires, so often even if the siege army attacks the city wall, it still cannot break through the city gate.

However, as famous as its defensive power is the damage rate of this kind of city gate. Basically, this kind of city gate can only last for a month or two at most. The door shaft of the city gate will be damaged, and it is also very troublesome to repair.

However, what surprised Leo was that he had already planned that the city gate was damaged, so he used some force when pushing the door, but the city gate followed his push very smoothly.

It opened on both sides and drew a semicircle. It hit the city walls on both sides and made two loud noises, breaking the silence around it.

This scene couldn't help but surprise Leo, and also made Sylvia confused. She quickly stepped forward and walked to the door axis to take a look. Soon she found that the door axis was very new, probably replaced.

After less than ten days, the wear on it was not serious, and even the craftsman's name and number stamped on it by the craftsman who made the door shaft were not worn away.

While Sylvia told Leo her discovery, Leo's eyes also fell on the interior of the corner castle.

Because the corner fort was mainly built as a fortification, the interior of the corner fort was built very simply. With the square directly in front of the gate as the center, the barracks, meeting hall, blacksmith shop, granary, etc. were surrounded in sequence.

The first floor is the residence of the city lord.

Under normal circumstances, only the city lord's guards, servants, the city lord and his family live inside the corner fort. Only when there is a war, the villages attached to the corner fort will lead their villagers to the corner fort for refuge, and the nearby garrison troops will also

They stationed themselves in the corner fort to assist in the defense, and when the time came, temporary tents were set up in the square to provide shelter for those seeking refuge.

The corner fort that appeared in the eyes of Leo and Sylvia was not as dilapidated as the city wall outside looked. Instead, it was as new as the door shaft of the gate. The surrounding houses had not collapsed due to disrepair, and there were no signs of damage on the walls due to years of disrepair.

Large areas of moss and vines have grown without anyone taking care of it. Even the grass has not grown in the gaps between the stone slabs in the square. If you look at it, you will feel that this corner fortress was used not long ago.

a feeling of.

"Take a look separately." Seeing the scene in front of her, Sylvia turned her head and suggested to Leo.

"Yeah!" Leo nodded in agreement, and then reminded: "There are some weird things here, you have to be careful."

"Got it." Sylvia responded, and then walked straight towards the meeting hall.

Seeing Sylvia choose the meeting hall, Leo looked around, then turned and walked to the granary nearby.

Just like most castles, Corner Fort also attaches great importance to the construction of granaries. In this small area inside Corner Fort, there are a total of four granaries of different sizes. The food stored here is enough to supply the consumption of 5,000 people for half a year.

.

Because of the previous abnormal situations, Leo was mentally prepared for possible abnormal situations in the granaries. After going up to a granary, opening the granaries, and looking inside, he just said plainly, "Sure enough,

In this way, the barn door is closed.

As Leo expected, the grain in the granary did not spoil and was still well preserved, just like the new grain that had been put into the granary some time ago.

Later, Leo went to several other granaries, and the situation was similar. Only one small granary contained old grains, and the grains in all the granaries were dried fruits, rice and wheat that were only produced in the Velen continent in the past. After hundreds of years,

At that time, these dried fruits, rice and wheat, which were the main grains, had already been improved, and they were different in size and shape from such grains in the past.

After seeing these granaries, Leo was basically certain that these granaries were from hundreds of years ago, but time seemed to have stopped on these granaries, so everything remained the same for hundreds of years.

The way it looked before.

After that, Leo checked the barracks, beast of burden camp, servants' room and other places in turn, and found that the furniture and daily necessities there were still the same as they were hundreds of years ago. Even on the dining tables in these places, you could still see whether there were any

Completely corrupt processed food.

After walking out of the last servant's room, Leo happened to see Sylvia also walking out of the door of the meeting hall, but Sylvia seemed to have noticed something, her face was full of worries, and she was holding a hand in her hand.

This is a thick book.

Leo walked over and did not immediately ask Sylvia about his discovery. Instead, he told Sylvia what he had discovered, and Sylvia heard Leo mention that time here seemed to have stopped.

Finally, there was a hint of surprise on his face, and then he handed the book in his hand towards Leo and motioned for him to take a look.

Leo took the book and read it. The text in the book was in ancient French, which should be the second revised French. These languages ​​were not only mixed with a large number of local languages ​​​​of the Black Forest tribe at that time.

, and the grammar has not been formalized and seems very confusing.

However, these languages ​​​​that are difficult for others to read are not difficult for Leo. He read the entire book easily.

This book was written by a man named Mitellius. Judging from the form of the name, he should be a man from the early period of the Knights Dynasty. The content he wrote seems to be a dream story. What is interesting is that this dream story

It is not completed at once, but part of it every day. In other words, the content recorded in this book is a dream story that lasted for nearly a hundred days.

The content of the dream is very simple. Mitellius accidentally killed a friend of his and felt guilty, so he dreamed of his friend one night. The friend did not blame him, but instead took him to visit the world after death.

He recorded in detail what he saw and heard in his dreams.

If he saw this book elsewhere, Leo would undoubtedly regard this book as a very good novel, because it is very simple, unless it is a person with special abilities, it is impossible for anyone to remember it clearly

It is even more impossible to write down anything I saw in my dreams in detail, so the description of the world after death in this book is more like some kind of fable to educate people at that time to do good deeds.

Don't do evil things.

But now that he has seen this book, which may have been written by himself, Leo can feel the author's emotions from between the lines, and can feel the fear revealed between the lines. Obviously, these recorded contents seem to frighten him.

the author himself.

But the problem is that none of the recorded contents are too scary. Compared with some folk fairy tales, these contents can be said to be quite peaceful, and can even be used as children's books. Don't say no.

It can be frightening to adults, but even if children read it or write it down, they should not be frightened.

But this content is completely contrary to the author's mood when writing, which is really puzzling, especially the last chapter, which seems to be finished. The author has completed his spiritual transformation and has let go of the guilt of the past.

Reaching the end of the journey and meeting the gods can be said to be a very happy ending.

But at the end, the author abruptly finished writing these few words, and from the distorted notes, it can be seen that the author's emotions at that time had reached the extreme level of fear, reaching the point of near collapse.

"A very strange handwritten book." Leo gave an evaluation of the book, and then asked Sylvia in confusion: "What did you find in this book?"

Hearing Leo's inquiry, Sylvia was a little surprised and said, "Haven't you heard of Mitellius' Book of Fear?"

"Mitellius's Book of Fear?" Leo was a little confused. After quickly searching the database, he shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. Is this book famous?"

"I'm a little surprised that you don't know this book?" After Sylvia saw that Leo really didn't know Mitellius' Book of Fear, she couldn't help but smile and said: "I didn't expect you to be there in this world.

Something you don’t know?”

Leo curled his lips and said, "There are so many things I don't know about this world, so what's the surprise?"

"Indeed, there is really nothing surprising, but you have impressed me so deeply in the past that you can find a solution to any problem, which gave me the illusion that you know everything and are omnipotent." Hill

Via smiled, then did not continue the topic, but moved to the business, pointed to the book in Leo's hand, and explained: "Before the knowledge of the Thirteen Ancient Gods appeared, Mitellius' Book of Fear

It is a forbidden book jointly recognized by the Orthodox Church of the True God and the Underground Church of the Evil God. There are rumors that some of the knowledge of the Thirteen Ancient Gods of the Mad Men comes from Mitellius’ Book of Fear.”

"Since there is such a thing?" Leo showed a look of surprise, and then asked: "Since it is called a book of fear, the content should be very scary, but the book in my hand does not seem to be scary no matter how I look at it.

.”

"I am also a little confused," Sylvia agreed with Leo's view and said: "When I got this manuscript and saw Mitellius's name, I immediately thought of Mitellius's name.

The book of fear, but except for a few accidents, the content of this book is difficult to make people feel scared, so I also have some doubts about whether the content of this book is the book of fear?" At this point, she suddenly paused.

, continued: "But after hearing the results of your examination just now, I feel that even if this book is not the Book of Fear, it may have something to do with the Book of Fear, because I remember that a file from the Orthodox Court mentioned that a certain person in ancient times

A disaster caused by the Book of Fear broke out in a village. All the villagers died in the disaster. The village was sealed off afterwards. Later, the Orthodox Church sent people to investigate and found that the village was exactly the same as when it was sealed off.

It’s almost like what you just described, as if time has stood still in that village.”

"So this is Mitellius' Book of Fear?" Leo looked at the book in his hand again. He was really confused because he couldn't feel any extraordinary energy fluctuations from this book. Likewise,

The surrounding Angle Castle also couldn't feel any abnormalities, but he also knew that he couldn't completely trust his own perception. There were many powers in the world that were impossible to discover through perception. Maybe this book is like this.
Chapter completed!
