The video scrolling from Angel was stopped, and the holographic projection restored all the objects around the environment when the view was changed to panoramic mode at this time.
Angel did not care about the scattered paintings around, his eyes completely focused on the dark painting, the whole painting had a dark tone.
It was a realistic portrait of two people, a man and a woman.
Under the black curtain, a middle-aged man with a dark red vest embroidered with white lace was at the front of the portrait. He sat on a high-backed leather chair with his back straight against it. The other person is a young woman around the age of 16-18, wearing a very old fashioned emerald colored lace-up leather dress while holding a beautiful bouquet of golden flowers, the girl’s perfect cheek rested on the backrest of the chair, displaying a look of innocence.
There is also a small row of white characters on the upper right corner of the painting. If one doesn’t look closely, they may just think that this is a pattern on the black curtain.
Angel magnifies the painting, and the contents of the white characters became clearly visible:
A record of Margaret’s sixteenth birthday, Franklin.
Margaret? Angel remembers this name, she seems to be the warden’s daughter.
Looking at Margaret’s intimacy with the middle-aged man, Angel speculated that the middle-aged man might be the Hanging Prison Stair’s warden. So this Franklin is the warden’s name? Or was Franklin the name of the painter?
Angel turned off the Holographic Tablet… he confirmed his guess, and sure enough, the < Shepherd Milking on the Prairie Painting > was not in the original painting.
Why did the original the < Father and Daughter Painting > become the < Shepherd Milking on the Prairie Painting >? Did someone change it? Or was it because of another strange or wonderful anomaly in the Nightmare Plane?
Angel picked up the < Shepherd Milking on the Prairie Painting > and looked at it carefully. Now this painting has really become just an ordinary oil painting. If there is nothing wrong with the painting itself, where is the other < Father and Daughter Painting >? If someone did replace it, for what reason? Do they simply want people to see the faces of those two people?
Isn’t that strange…? Angel pondered for half a day, but came up with no answer, so he had to chalk it up as magic in the Nightmare Plane.
… …
As the night pa.s.sed by, Angel got up early, fed Toby, and took out the practice notes that Sanders had given him and began to read.
But without warning, he only read for a few minutes until there was a knock at the door.
With the knock at the door came Shalem’s slightly excited voice: “Angel, hey Angel!”
Angel opened the door and saw Shalem standing in front of his door, with a happy expression: “Angel, didn’t you awake a long time ago, so why don’t you come up?”
“Up where? Where are we going? ” Shalem asked questions without a topic, so Angel was confused.
“Deck! Don’t you know? We’re going to the Savage Grottoes today! Just now at breakfast, the first mate said that we would arrive at the destination in the morning, and all the talents are heading on deck! Let’s go too!”
“I’ll be right there. What are we doing on deck?” Angel looked at Shalem’s small bundled figure while carrying a pack: “If the deck is cold, aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”
Shalem stretched out his hand from his thick trench coat pocket, and showed that he wore cotton gloves on his hands as well. “It’s all right. I have worn a lot of clothes. Anyway, this is a memorable moment of arrival at the Savage Grottoes right now. Don’t you want to look down on the Savage Grottoes from the air?”
Overlooking the place where they will live in the future for a long time, listening to the proposal, Angel thought it wouldn’t hurt to go and have a look.
So Angel, like Shalem, geared himself up, took Toby, and followed behind Shalem to head on the deck.
Along the way, Angel can still see the talents coming out of their cabins, obviously everyone’s intention is the same, they want to get a bird’s eye view of the whole Savage Grottoes. This is not only to satisfy their curiosity, but also to observe the surrounding terrain earlier and to have a general plan for their future.
When he reached the deck, Angel saw Hooked.i.c.k in the crowd at a glance. He stood at the center of three or four people, as if preaching something, patting his chest from time to time, and displaying a look of complacency.
Angel glanced back and walked with Shalem to the right side of the guardrail where Nausica was seen leaning against the rail while smoking a pipe. From time to time she exhaled smoke in a lazy and s.e.xy manner.
“Miss Nausica!” Shalem greeted happily.
Nausica looked up, saw them, and smiled back, “You guys are here too.”
“Well, I don’t know what the Savage Grottoes looks like. I’ve heard that wizard organizations are so mysterious that ordinary people can’t find their entrance at all.” A flash of antic.i.p.ation showed in Shalem’s eyes: “When I was a child, my mother told me a fairy tale, the Savage Grottoes is like a Moon Castle on the moon, and only under when influence by moonlight would it show it’s magnificence?”
“Who knows, it may very well. I’ve heard rumors of wizards in the waters of Blackberry. I heard about a wizard organization built on a coral archipelago. I wanted to find this coral island in the first place, but I didn’t expect to come to the Savage Grottoes by chance.” Nausica replied.
“Wizards of Coral Islands, it’s a dream to hear that name.” Shalem’s mind began to wander again.
“Wizard organization? On the Coral Islands. You mean White Coral Floating Island College? ” Angel Road.
“Well, that seems to be the name. What, Angel, you’ve heard of it? ” Nausica said.
Angel smiled. “My experience is the same as yours. I originally went to White Coral Floating Island College with a guide, but I changed my destination, now I’m going to the Savage Grottoes.”
“I’m not as lucky as you, being led by a guide. I completely trespa.s.sed while trying to find… … White Coral Floating Island College.” Nausica spits out a ring of smoke: “Now that I think about it, this was kind of naive. Had it not been for something else along the way, I would have been buried at sea.”
Recalling the experience in the Devil’s Sea domain, those boundless thunderclouds, Nausica’s feelings are not unreasonable.
“Angel, you’ve heard of White Coral Floating Island College… do you know what it’s like? Is it as magical as a Moon Castle?” Shalem asked eagerly.
Angel shook his head. “I’ve never been there either, but I’ve seen another picture of a Wizard Organization in a book. The organization is called Sky Machinery City, it is a huge steel city suspended above the clouds. Only extraordinary life can fly to the city while ordinary people can only look up from the ground.”
Sky Machinery City is a famous economic and trade city in the southern region Wizard Plane, it is open to all wizards, and their renown is naturally widely spread out.
“A city in the clouds! It sounds more fantastical than a college on a coral island.” Shalem’s eyes twinkle with stars, fantasizing that after breaking through the boundless clouds and seeing a huge city appearing at the end of the clouds. He flashed a look of fascination.
In addition to Sky Machinery City, Angel also went to the area of Nightfall City, so he also briefly spoke a few words to the future generation about a place named “Flower Garden Labyrinth”, a wizard city ruin.
Wizards on coral islands, steel fortress cities in the clouds, a city of…gardens and labyrinth blending… just imagining this is very exciting.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen at the Savage Grottoes, do you?” Shalem is deeply convinced that the Savage Grottoes, as a top 10 organization in the southern region, will definitely bring them boundless shock!
However, reality often doesn’t follow the script.
