Chapter 1584: Hundred Flowers Courtyard
Under normal circumstances, if subspace debris is integrated into normal space, it will directly expand the volume of normal space, and the debris itself will disappear completely.
But now the situation inside the Belmont Family Castle is very special. All the fragments of the subspace plane have been forcibly blended together and integrated with the current world. However, this fusion is not a complete fusion, but a
That intermediate state of fusion and separation.
This special intermediate fusion of subspace plane fragments has been fixed inside Belmont Castle. Because it is also in a fusion state at the same time, people in this world can enter these subspace plane fragments without restriction, and
The space power contained in these subspace plane fragments will also affect the surrounding environment, making the interior of the Belmont Family Castle much larger than it appears.
In addition to the particularity of the space, there are also a large number of gargoyles squatting on the eaves of various buildings in Belmont Castle, acting as security guards for the castle.
It is obvious that these gargoyles do not come from this world, but from other worlds, and these gargoyles are not products of witchcraft or divine magic, but real life forms, only their limbs, flesh and blood.
It's just a stone.
Among all the books that record myths or folk monsters in this world, there has never been any legend about gargoyles. Even the classics of the True God Church do not have any records of such special life forms.
On the contrary, other worlds, such as the world of Velen, the world of demon hunters, or the Earth Federation, have records related to gargoyles, so these gargoyles were probably specially captured from other places by the ancestors of the Belmont family.
"Those stone statues" Although Sylvia did not have a skill like the Mental Network, she still noticed that there was something special about the monster stone statues on the roof eaves by observing Leo's expression after seeing the special items.
"They are all alive." Leo responded simply.
Sylvia was a little surprised and said: "Are you alive? To be honest, I really wouldn't be able to tell if you didn't tell me."
"What kind of work? Sirs, did you find any problem?" The maid who was responsible for leading the way heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but ask.
"Those stone statues are all alive." Sylvia pointed directly at the stone statue monster on the eaves that she just saw.
"Are the stone statues alive?" The maid who asked just now was very shocked, and looked at the stone statue monsters that Sylvia pointed at, and her face was full of doubts. Others who heard the conversation also felt that Sylvia
Ya seems to be joking.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Sylvia did not explain, and Leo also did not speak, because the reactions of these people made Leo realize one thing, that is, no one living in the castle seemed to know the eaves of the castle.
The stone sculptures that look like decorations are actually stone monsters that look like living people.
The servants don’t know these things yet, so do other members of the Belmont family know? Does the old Duke know? Leo can’t find answers to these questions yet, but he is certain that these stone monsters have been possessed by some unknown witch.
The technique is banned and is in a dormant state at the moment.
In addition to the subspace fragments in the castle and the stone monsters who don't know whether they act as protectors or monitors, there is another thing discovered through the spiritual network that also attracted Leo's attention. This thing is the spiers of all the houses in the castle.
There is a pure copper badge on the top, and the symbol on this badge is the symbol of the Supreme Council of the Universe.
Leo did not guess why the symbol of the Supreme Council of the Universe appeared in Belmont Castle, nor did he guess that the Belmont family placed this emblem on every roof. He directly asked the maid beside him to take care of Sylvia.
Ask what those emblems on the roof are.
"I'm not sure about this. You'd better ask the Earl!" It was obviously not the first time that the maid heard this question raised by Leo, so she quickly gave a standard response.
Hearing what the maid said, Leo did not continue to ask any more questions. The others seemed to have lost the conversation and just led the way.
Soon the silent group arrived at the Baihua Courtyard, the residence designated by the old Duke for the two of them.
The Flower Courtyard is located on the edge of the castle. It consists of a forest, a villa apartment and an observation deck facing the lava lake.
Not to mention the villa, apartment and observation deck, which are not very large. The forest of flowers that just surrounds the apartment and the observation deck looks to be more than ten times larger than Belmont Castle in terms of total area.
It is a real forest, but because of the subspace plane fragments, the area occupied by the castle is very small, just the size of an ordinary courtyard.
Most of the plants in the Baihua Forest are iron fire trees that grow near volcanoes. The trunks of this iron fire trees are very hard, comparable to rocks. In addition, the wood always emits heat, so in the north this kind of iron fire tree is very hard.
Timber is usually used to build houses. A house made of such wood can basically guarantee that even in the coldest winter, the interior of the house will still feel warm.
Except for the iron fire tree, the other plants in the forest are transplanted flowers from other places. These flowers come from almost all over the continent. They are all heat-resistant or heat-loving plants. Because someone takes care of them carefully, even if they are from different places,
There are many kinds of flowers, but they don't look messy.
On one side of the villa apartment is the viewing platform. The platform is built on the edge of the castle. Two-thirds of the platform is on the inside and one-third extends to the outside. It is suspended in the lava lake below. Standing on the edge of the platform, you can clearly see
See clearly what's going on inside the lava lake.
As for the apartments in the villa, they are not made of the iron fire trees outside. The materials used in this villa have exactly the same properties as the iron fire trees. This material comes from a tree called Yakot wood.
The tree is named after the discoverer, so this kind of tree has another popular name among the people, called the cold dead tree.
The reason why it is called this is because this kind of tree will exude a thin cold air all the time, and people who are in it will feel as if they are in a world of ice and snow.
However, for others, wood that may be frostbitten if touched easily can produce considerable benefits when placed in a castle on a lava lake. For example, Leo and Sylvia felt this after entering the house.
There was a burst of coolness, which was completely different from the environment outside. Also, due to the influence of the power contained in the castle itself, the cold air of this wood was no longer so cold, but became much more relaxed. I just felt a chill when I put my hand on it.
Just the chill.
After leading the two people into the villa apartment, one of the maids carefully introduced the situation in the apartment to Leo and Sylvia, and then said that if they needed anything, they could just ring the bell as long as they had someone nearby.
It will pass immediately.
When she said this, she took out two bells, and then used them in front of Leo and Sylvia to show their effectiveness. When she shook the two bells, the bells hanging on the maid's waist would emit sounds.
Sound.
After handing the two bells to Leo and Sylvia respectively, the maids went about their own business. Although they, the servants of the castle, would often clean the various buildings in the castle, they were always clean and livable.
It's completely different. They don't want to make the distinguished guests of the family feel any discomfort.
Leo and Sylvia went directly to the study room of the apartment. When they came, Leo asked the maid and knew that the study room of the apartment in Baihua Courtyard has the largest collection of books besides the castle library. I think the old Duke also knew that.
This is why Leo and Sylvia were placed here.
Just as the maid said, the study room in the apartment is indeed very large, occupying almost two-thirds of the area. When you enter the study room, you can see neat rows of bookcases. Each row of bookcases is divided into four layers.
There are fifteen shelves on the first floor, and almost all the bookcases are slowly filled with various books. There are even many books that have no place to put them and can only be piled up in the aisles of each row of bookcases.
Leo and Sylvia quickly searched the collection of books here and found that all the books in the study room were placed randomly without any order, and the placement rules of the books were completely based on the cover materials and colors of the books.
It shows that the person who placed the books did not know how to place the books.
Neither Leo had any intention of helping the Belmont family organize their book collection. They picked up a book in unison, found a suitable place, sat down and started reading.
Although there are many books in the study, Leo and Sylvia have read most of the books in other places, and those books that have not been read are just unpublished manuscripts, and most of the contents are some that can be read.
Content considered taboo by the Church.
Although these taboo contents do not involve any extraordinary power, some of the things recorded in them are quite intriguing.
For example, one of the books mentioned in detail the fog at the edge of the world and the giant creatures walking in the fog.
You must know that ordinary people in this world do not know that this world is surrounded by fog, because the Source Continent is surrounded by the sea, and no one can find out what is at the end of the sea, even those favored by the ocean gods.
There is no way to go to the edge of the ocean.
In the past, people's exploration of the ocean finally found the New World. However, their exploration of the New World has not yet reached the western edge of the New World, and may not even have reached the central zone. Therefore, some people say that the area of the New World is several times the size of the original continent.
Times, or even more than ten times, the source continent is actually an offshore island in the New World.
Therefore, some people speculate that the New World is actually the origin of mankind. For example, the person who wrote about the fog at the edge of the world also wrote the same textual research book on the hypothesis that the New World is the origin of mankind.
You must know that compared to the statement that the edge of the world is shrouded in fog, the statement that the New World is the origin of mankind is a more heretical theory for the True God Church. Not only the True God Church will regard it as heretical, but also the Evil God Church.
It will also be considered heresy.
Because whether it is the Church of True God or the Church of Evil God, the origins of the gods recorded in their root classics are all in the Source Continent, and the origin of human beings is also in the Source Continent, and the origin of civilization begins in the Source Continent. Now there is a new theory that says
The origin of human beings is not the Origin Continent, but the Origin Continent is just a small island next to the New World. This statement can be said to fundamentally destroy the foundation of all existing religions. Therefore, those who develop this hypothesis are regarded as unworthy in the eyes of any religion.
It's heresy.
The people who wrote these two heretical books did not leave their names, but the original manuscripts of these two books had two flowers of truth painted on them.
The Flower of Truth is a flower that only exists in legends. No one has ever seen this kind of flower. All descriptions of the Flower of Truth are based on myths and legends that have recorded the Flower of Truth. But now
The shapes of the two Flowers of Truth that Leo saw came from the flowers worn on the chest by the protagonist in the book The Blind Man.
The book titled The Blind Man can also be found in the study. The story of this book describes how a man who accidentally saw the truth of the gods used various methods to solve various difficulties and finally found the truth after losing his eyesight.
The story of the flower.
In this story, what the blind protagonist finally finds are two Flowers of Truth, and the images of the two Flowers of Truth are not the same, but have their own characteristics. Although the protagonist loses his eyesight, in this case
But he was able to look down upon the appearance of the two flowers of truth, and described them in detail at the end.
In the story, the blind man once described the divine truth he saw, and this divine truth was actually a big tree, a big tree growing in the void with countless fruits.
There is no doubt that the contents of these three forbidden books were written by the same person, and they were banned for various reasons without being officially published. In the end, the remaining manuscripts fell into the hands of the Belmont family.
.
In the library, there are many other books like these three books, all of which record some thoughts or behaviors that are considered barbaric and taboo by the True God Church.
There is no doubt that if Leo is an expert in taboo science, he will definitely take away all of these books as if they are treasures. Unfortunately, Leo is a wizard, and these stories that do not involve any extraordinary power are of little significance to him.
Of no use.
When it was getting dark, Leo and Sylvia both finished reading the worth-reading books in the study. By the way, they helped the Belmont family organize and categorize these books to prevent latecomers from being in the same situation as when they first saw those books.
I'm totally confused about classifying it.
At this time, the maid in charge of their daily life came over and told the two that the old Duke had prepared a dinner for them in the castle hall. It seemed that she wanted to introduce the two to other members of the family.
Chapter completed!
