Chapter 584 Abandoned Tower
"Doctor, I have also heard of this ancient relic, you You can even find this?"

Luvia said in a low voice while sitting on the sofa.

Dr. Schneider nodded:
"Feature, put these hairs close to your head, it will automatically connect to your own hair. This feature is good for people who don't have any hair on their head, as well as the longest hair People below 0.1 inches (about 2.54mm) are invalid. Once they are attached to these hairs, their luck will become extremely bad. The longest record, someone persisted until the 13th day and was killed by bad luck. And those who got rid of these hairs The only way is"

"Shave your own hair?"

Shade asked, the doctor smiled helplessly:
"How can it be so simple? The only way is , During the period of being attached to the relic, you have obtained good luck. Any method will do, including your [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny], I remember the effect of your dice, which has a high priority, and the number of the dice will not be affected. The luck of low-priority items."

The doctor said, saw the cat behind Shade's head, and reminded:
"This thing is also effective on long-haired animals, Shade, look after you The cat."

Shade immediately turned around and grabbed Mia, holding it firmly in his arms.

Mia looked happy.

"Doctor, but that's just bad luck, good luck?"

Dorothy got the point.

"It's very simple, first, on your own hair, splicing another person's hair, it must be black, and it must be natural black, not dyed. Then, put the [unfortunate long hair], It is spliced to the other end of the other person's black hair. [Unfortunate Long Hair] can only work on the hair that still grows on the scalp, so it will not work on the other person's hair. And because it is separated by one person's hair , spliced with the user's hair, thus realizing an ambiguous reversal in a certain sense. This state will last for about 10 seconds, during which the user will be very lucky, and after the time is up, the relic will automatically Falling off."

"What's the price of manipulating fate?"

Luvia asked cautiously, the doctor shook her head:

"At least half a year. , the user is easily attacked by Evil Spirit, and the deceased around him are also very easy to return in the form of Evil Spirit, but the specific time depends on the user. Never go near areas like haunted houses. This is a side effect of the relic itself, and apart from this, there is an absolute equivalent fate, no matter how lucky you get, you will pay the same degree of bad luck. This kind of bad luck It's delayed, but it's definitely happening."

"No problem, just use this."

Shade said that if he used the dice illegally, he would not only pay the price of further damage to the dice , and it's not certain that the luck of numbers will surely come to his choice signpost.

And the good luck that hair brings is lasting over time. He didn't want much, just hit once in a few percent probability. As long as the speed was fast enough, he didn't have to worry about using the relic, but he didn't get the effect he wanted.

“Shade.”

The doctor looked at him, but didn’t stop:
“Academy has given the news, they are investigating. I can’t stop you because I want to too Save Augustus first, or at least know what happened to him, and bring his body back. Go Shade, must stay safe."

"We'll be here waiting for you, no matter what happens , and must be back at five o'clock in the afternoon to speak."

Dorothy said.

"I gave Augustus priest a divination before, and he definitely didn't die in Midhill Fort. Shade, be careful."

Luvia also whispered Said, then looked towards the people around him, and asked:

"However, do you have black hair here?"

"Yes, I have a friend's hair. Black hair."

Shade gently nodded, Luvia knew that Shade and Demonness's maid had an unusual relationship, so she raised her eyebrows and said nothing. Dorothy even knew that Shade had a close relationship with "her" aunt, and had a better relationship with the maid, so she just glanced at Shade and said nothing.

From the study, take Tifa's hair out. It was quite a delicate technique to have Dorothy help and tie it to the short hair next to his right ear.

Afterwards, the four of them came to the first floor together. The doctor didn't follow, he didn't want the demon in his heart to see more secrets. But before parting, the doctor gave Shade a wooden button. This is an alchemy item he made himself. After using it, he can use the distortion of light to distort his facial features, thus forming a certain degree of camouflage.

But this alchemy item can only last for half an hour, and it is easy to be seen by the ring warlock, so it can only be regarded as a spare prop for Shade.

Thanks to the doctor, Dorothy and Luvia took Shade to the wall together, not surprised that the other knew the secret.

"Anyway, be careful."

They didn't say much, and Shade wrapped her cat into Dorothy's arms. Because she lived with the blonde female writer for a few days, although Mia was dissatisfied, she did not flee.

"You guys go to lunch first, I'm afraid I won't be back until evening."

He turned around, Luvia put the metal box containing the blood on the ground, and put the blood in the blood. He pulled out his hair and tied it to the long black hair next to Shade's profile.

The feeling at this moment is very strange, the hair itself has no touch, but when [Unfortunate Long Hair] touches Tifa's hair, Shade actually thinks that his hair "feels" an extremely cold chill .

The Whisper in his ears became more pronounced, and Shade could even tell that it was a woman speaking her tragic life in ancient language.

Shade didn't say much, walked quickly into the hidden wall in front of him, and touched the Divine Idol in the center of the circular space without pausing:

"May the original crack, Bless me in the infinite space."

The thick fog of white rushed in immediately, wrapping Shade in it. He entered the world wrapped in white mist again, and on the blurred path in front of him, there were two old wooden signposts erected.

At the same time, the mental stress caused by using the relics has suddenly eased, and even the voice of Whisper in my ears has become weak:
"You must not. Suppressed by this space."

[Outlander, you have stepped into the "Space Labyrinth". ]

[Message from Ancient God's "Original Crack":]

[Existing space road signs: 2. ]

"Sacrifice this white stone crystal."

Time was tense, Shade immediately lifted the white spar in his hand to the top, and it disappeared into Shade's hand without a sound , as if into this dense fog.

【New information is obtained, you can search for new ones.】

“Southeast!”

【Ancient God-Primary Rift, accepted your offering offering. ]

[Randomly linking space signposts. ]

[The link is successful, the existing space road sign: 3. ]

Shade immediately reached out and took off the blood-stained black hair that was drooping on the side of his face. After confirming that the hair was not stuck to Tifa's long hair, he was relieved.

It's obviously not a containment condition now, but those black hairs are motionless like "Death".

"Is there a Whisper element?"

Shade doesn't feel the element anymore.

[Yes, but very weakly. ]

Shade is nominee, which means that low-level relics will be suppressed in the area where Ancient God Strength remains.

He did not touch the third wooden signpost that appeared on the path in front of him, but stepped back behind the hidden wall of the basement. Walking out of the wall, he handed this dangerous relic to the restless girls, and this officially started another long-distance adventure.

Touch the Divine Idol again and return to the [Space Labyrinth], walking on the trails blurred in the white fog. The third road sign that appeared was also inserted crookedly on the ground. A wooden arrow was nailed to the dilapidated wood, and the number three was written crookedly.

Shade put his hand on the signpost:

[The Primordial Rift will guide you. ]

The white mist dissipated.

Shade stood there and didn't move. When the white fog completely dissipated, what was revealed in front of him was a circular space exactly like the one behind the walls of his basement.

The Divine Idol of Ancient God's [Original Crack] stood quietly in the center of the space, exuding rays of light as Shade watched.

In the circular spaces of St. Teresa Square and Coldwater Harbor, Shade has placed features that indicate the location. In the space where it is currently, there is no item except Divine Idol.

"I'm still looking forward to getting the property or relics left by my predecessors in such a place."

Shade thought to himself, looking towards Divine Idol facing the direction. wall. Calling out the ring of life behind him, the aura that controls the core spirit rune [space-time] shines on the wall. The wall disappeared silently, but there was a faint light outside.

"What?"

The light should be farther away, so the opening of the wall didn't trigger any response.

Shade waited for a few seconds, making sure that he didn't hear the sound of approaching footsteps, and then very quietly came to the outside world from the circular space.

There is a strange smell of musty in the air, calm down and listen, the only sound is the wind blowing through the treetops and the last wailing of summer insects in early autumn.

rays of light come from above on the other side of the room you are currently in, and are the natural light of the sun.

Shade then lit his fingertips and his rays of light looked towards the surroundings and found what appeared to be an abandoned basement. Animal feces, all kinds of worthless garbage were thrown on the ground, and spider webs hung all over the corners.

The moonlight even disturbed the bats resting in the dark, the creatures tried to attack Shade, but after a flash of moonlight they fell to the ground.

"Where's the basement? It smells bad."

The basement has no steps upstairs and is connected by a trapdoor. There used to be metal or wood escalators, but now there is nothing.

Although the distance between the ground and the basement is not more than ten meters, but because I don't know what's going on above, Shade chose not to move in space but chose [Frog Jump].

"Hi!"

After taking off lightly, his hand clings to the edge of the square entrance of the basement, which is the edge of the gap in the first floor. After still not hearing any human voice, he used his arms to raise his head from under the trap.

This pull-up-like movement has no pressure on Shade now:

"Where the hell is this?"

With Curious, he finally saw everything around him. The ground is covered with a thick layer of dust, and rusted and even rotted metal furniture is piled up in a messy manner around the walls. There are some traces of a fire on the ground near the right, but that's at least a year old.

The space on this floor is actually round, the walls are rough gray square stone bricks, and there is no trace of the steam industry era.

Looking up, looking towards the top, the spiral staircase spreads upwards. A slender but very strong metal rod extends from the top of the tower to the ground, as if it is convenient to fall from the top floor to the bottom floor.

"Tower? Clock tower or lighthouse? It doesn't seem to be the same."

The sun comes from up ahead. In this large tower, no human has ever used it. traces of the past. The door at the bottom of the lighthouse was removed, and the bright sun shone into the first floor of the lighthouse from the outside, and then through the square gap in the ground to the basement.

Shade's arms were hard, and after he jumped out of the basement with his upper body, he first put his legs on the dusty ground, and then climbed up.

As you stand up, slap the dust off your clothes and palms. Because of his actions, the sunlight coming in from the front door had more grainy dust. This look is almost telling Shade that this is an area far away from the human community.

"I hope it's not too far from the city, and I hope this is Fort Midhill."

Shade thought softly in his heart, and then he remembered that he nominally believed in the righteous God. Mr. Liming], so he whispered to Mr. Liming again.

The sunlight coming in from the door was a bit dazzling, he raised his arm to cover it in front of him, instead of exploring the long-abandoned old tower, he walked into the light at the door.

The wind blows through the treetops, making Shade, who has lived in the steam capital for a long time, feel the breath of nature after a long absence. There is a forest in front of you, and the old tower behind it is almost completely integrated with the forest. The age of abandonment here is probably far more than 100 years.

The treetops have grown over the outer walls of the old tower, with vines connecting the towering trees and stone walls. Moss, weeds, and various plants that Shade could not recognize covered the ground. Looking up, birds flew out of the windows of the old tower, as if they had lived in the tower for generations.

"The air is really nice, but what is the purpose of this tower?"

He thought to himself.

There was no immediate night expedition because he found a metal plate nailed to the stone wall at the gate of the old tower. A few lines of vague words are engraved on the metal plate in the form of official documents to explain the situation here:

[Delarion Kingdom Imperial Family Army First Army Regiment-Fengqi Path 3rd Brigade-Tower 12 is due to the front line The location has been moved and abandoned, and the nearby camp has been demolished. Hunters, lost people, and Illegal immigrants who are active in West Carr Mountain can move to the northwest at 11 o'clock. After looking for the path into the mountain, it takes about 30 minutes to reach the southeastern suburb of Midhill Fort.
