Chapter 1144 Undine and Last Words
Irina remembers when she was reading fairy tales when she was a child. She remembers that there was such a book, which said that when a certain element in a certain place is very strong and active, it is easy to The elves or goblins that give birth to this element are born with the ability to speak and have sound minds and consciousness. They are usually products that depend on a certain thing to appear. For example, tree fairies are often born on the oldest trees in the forest, and pregnant spring fairies are born in those pure springs. Although she later learned in school that the fairy tales were half-truths, the little girl in front of her made her think of them.
Irina thought of this and asked curiously: "How do you know how to speak? Are you born to speak?"
The little girl shook her head: "There was one a long time ago. When I got here, he taught me how to speak.”
“Has anyone been here before?”
"Yeah." The little girl said, "He asked me to call him Uncle Bearded, call me Undine, and teach me how to make beautiful leaf clothes."
Irina saw the white leaf clothes on her body It was the white vine leaves she saw on it, so she asked again: "That bearded uncle?" Is he out?"
The little girl Wendini shook her head for the third time and said sadly: "He is dead"
Undine pointed to the stone chamber again and said: "He is right there."
Irina looked carefully at the stone chamber. Due to the color of the light, although she had carefully observed it before, she could not see it too clearly. At this time, she discovered that there was a skeleton behind the blue stone statue in the middle of the stone chamber. There were already a few spots on the skeleton. The skin and flesh are gone, and even the bones have decayed and dissipated a lot. Irina was shocked and asked: "How long has he been dead? When did he come?"
Undine shook her head: "It's been a long, long time." She suddenly thought of something and flew to a wall. The front man said: "Uncle Beard said that it would take him a day to paint on it. After he died, I continued painting according to the time he painted. Now I’ve already drawn so many.”
Irina held up the spar and looked up. She saw that the entire rock wall was covered with horizontal and vertical carvings. She didn’t know how many. Thousands of words, and a panic surged in my heart: "How long has he been here, why doesn't he leave?"
Undine thought about it I want to say: "Uncle Beard stayed here for hundreds of times. At first he looked everywhere for the place to go and smashed the wall with a sledgehammer. Then he stopped looking. He said he gave up. In the end he said He didn't want to wait for death here, so he went inside to dismantle the stone statue. As a result... As soon as he entered, he discovered something terrible, and then... It just stopped moving inside.”
Irina thought that what Undine saw at that time must be very scary, otherwise she would not be so frightened, and secretly thanked her for saving her just now, but this This feeling only lasted for a moment, and then I thought that if I was trapped here, I would have to suffer the same fate as the people who came here before.
Undine said: "You...what's your name?"
"My name is Bev Irina, you can just call me Irina."
Wen Tini said: "Irina, you are injured, can I help you treat your injury?"
"Can you treat it?" Irina was asking, but she saw that Undine had already cast With the magic of water, thin gauze-like water flows around him. Irina already had a shadowy fear of water. She suppressed the fear in her heart and let the water flow to gather on her broken arms and legs. Immediately, the knocking in her mind became louder, and with every drop of water in the stone chamber, there was a knocking in her mind.
Fortunately, there was not much healing water element, and it quickly penetrated through her skin and into her broken bones. Irina only felt the ice in her bones, but not very cold, and a feeling like small blisters bursting in her arms and calves.
After casting the magic, Undine asked: "What do you think, Irina."
Irina shook her head and said she didn't know.
Undine was a little disappointed and pouted: "Did my magic fail?"
Irina said: "No, I was injured too badly and I have to survive." It took a while to find out if it had any effect."
"Hehe, that's right, eh." Undine became happy again when she saw that her magic had failed.
Irina looked at the statues in the stone chamber and asked: "Undine, do you know what the statues in this are? Has Uncle Beard told you?"
"I don't know. Undine said: "Uncle Beard said that the statues in the stone chamber are very evil and dangerous things. Uncle was attracted by the strange noises made by the statues, but Undine did not hear any strange noises, she only heard them. The sound of dripping water.”
Irina said: "You are different. You should be a fairy born from the water element atmosphere here, and you may not be affected by the strange noise."
"Yeah, Uncle Beard is like that too. "
Irina held on to the wall, looked around along the passage, and asked Undine: "Have you continued to find a way out after you have been here for so long? "
"Hmm, after Uncle Beard died, I have been looking for it, but I haven't found a place to go out for a long time."
Irina's heart skipped a beat: "Then I won't have to be trapped in this place for the rest of my life. Here?" Undine hurriedly flew over and said, "Irina, Irina, you must not go there and die like Uncle Beard. With Undine accompanying you, we Isn’t it better to stay here?”
Irina frowned: “How can I stay here? I have to find a way to get out, I must find a way to get out!”< br>
This passage has reached its end and there is no way out. Irina thought about it over and over again. If she wanted to get out, she could only go back to the cave above and see if there was any other passage.
Undine followed Irina flying all the way. She had something she wanted to say but didn't dare to ask.
Irina saw what she meant and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Undine relaxed: "Yeah, I want to talk to Yi Lina said talking, it’s been me talking to myself for so long, it’s very boring.”< br>
Irina said as she walked: "That uncle with the beard didn't tell you his name?"
Undine thought for a while and said: "It seems that I didn't tell you Remember, I always called him Uncle Beard.”
"Then did he tell you who he was?" Irina asked.
Undine thought about it again, and then she was still thinking about it.
Irina said: "Forget it if you can't remember it. He has been with you for a few years, and so many years have passed. It doesn't make much sense to know this information. Well, did he stay with you? What do you want?”
“Yes,” Undine said, “Yes, that’s right. Up there, but some things have disappeared.”
“Disappeared?” Irina reacted: “It’s rotten. The environment here is damp and cold, and some things rot very quickly, but they remain. Just put something down and go see what it is.”
After walking for a while, Irina returned to the entrance of the passage and emerged from the gap in the stalactite pillars. Of course, she did not stop observing the situation in the passage and talking to Undine. Irina asked: "Where do Uncle Beard put his things?"
"Follow me, here." Undine took the lead in flying and came to a pile of stalactite pillars.
This messy stalactite group is scattered at different heights, but most of them are very tall and long, and some are connected up and down. Irina passed by it before and it looked like a wall of stone pillars, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Undine flew to the group of stone pillars and said, "It's right here. The only way to get in is from here." After saying that, she flew into the group of pillars.
Irina followed sideways and got in. Most of the gaps in this messy stalactite group were very small. Only the path led by Undine could barely pass a person. After walking a few steps in the pillar forest, I saw some stone pillars with cracked marks. I thought it must be the path that the bearded uncle made when he came in.
The stone pillar group is only a dozen meters deep. Once you come out, you will reach a relatively wide space. Irina held up the spar: "I didn't expect there to be such a cave behind the stone pillar." Looking again, there were signs that someone had lived in this several-meter-large cave. Not only was there a magic circle engraved on the wall, but there was also a... Lots of text.
Irina found some marks on the ground, which should be the marks left after something rotted, but not everything had rotted away. There were two glass bottles in the corner of the hole. , and some other things.
Undine said: "This is where Uncle Beard lives. He is here when he sleeps. The things in the corner are what he left behind and I put them together."
< br>Irina looked at the scratches of the magic array on the wall. Although the marks were blurred, she could still vaguely see that it was a simple magic crystal release array, which was similar to the current crystal release array. Look at the text on the other wall, which describes this person's life, the reason for being trapped here, and his last words. After Irina read this, the situation was similar to what she had guessed. This person was also bewitched by the magic sound and entered this cave by mistake. Because of his limited ability, he could not escape and leave. He has been living here. Finally, after several years of suffering, he finally He made up his mind and decided to break into the stone room which he considered very dangerous. As for the specific dangers in the stone chamber, the article only said that he found that the magic circle carved in the stone chamber was the source of the danger, but he could not determine what magic circle it was.
Seeing Irina looking in a daze, Undine asked: "Irina, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Irina saw the last words on the wall.
The last words in the article hope that someone will find his relics and take them back to his hometown to give them to his wife. It seems that he still hopes that someone will come to the mountains to find him, but after so many years, not to mention that it is impossible to complete his last words, even getting out is still a problem.
After reading the last words, I went to look at the relics. According to Undine, Uncle Beard didn’t leave many relics. He anticipated the rust here and put his wedding ring and some other important accessories inside. Sealed in a glass bottle. In addition to these, there were two water magic crystals and a diary wrapped in leather and put in a metal box. Everything in this diary was rotten. Irina poked it with a dagger. , is already a ball of rusty mud.
