Since going through each room, one by one, he visited all the rooms over a period of the next two hours. Angel found a dozen rooms, all in a one hall one bedroom pattern. This feeling is like on the Bohemia, displaying the difference between the lower deck rooms for laborers and the middle rooms for the talents.
“So, is this how the rooms are arranged here?” Angel speculated that there might be a bigger room than the current rooms, which corresponds to the Bohemia’s upper wizard apprentice rooms.
In these one room one hall spaces, Angel raided a lot of things, including weapons, glass bottles containing various things, and a few alchemy items… … but the items from these raids, aside from the Leather Scroll that Angel had originally taken with him, disappeared shortly after he left the room.
Angel doesn’t know what happened, but it’s true that the items are gone, and in the end he can only dejectedly classify this phenomenon as being unique to the Nightmare Plane.
An hour later, Angel’s guess was confirmed. Because he now came to a staircase side room that became bigger, becoming a two-room one hall pattern, moving away from the previous “one room” pattern.
In this new pattern of rooms, Angel did not find anything useful. The extra “one room” seemed to have been used by the original occupant as a storeroom. As soon as Angel opened it, he felt a burst of dust fall on the floor and saw a large number of decayed cloth fragments on the ground. There was nothing else to see.
Angel can only carry on the path again with a bit of helplessness.
In the next few hours, Angel saw the new patterned room many times, occasionally seeing a harvest of unexpected items, even if Angel took these items away, they will disappear after a while.
Therefore, the most useful objects for Angel are items such as books, because the content of the book can be taken away by the recording function on the Holographic Tablet, as for the other item, they are left behind. For this reason, Angel also specifically looked for books to record in the Holographic Tablet, because the contents in them did not disappear when he left, so it can be seen that it is effective to record and take away the contents from these books.
After reaching this conclusion, Angel has a pertinent goal in his follow-up searches. For some strange items, he no longer went to acquire them, but only recorded the items with the recording function, such as magic lines painted on vases, words of unknown scrolls, murals, books, and so on… …
As a result, his progress was greatly accelerated.
Two hours later, Angel came to the end of the staircase.
At the end of the stairs, there were two light holes, one is the exit to the stairs, the other is a wooden door near the exit.
Angel had no intention of leaving yet, so he glanced at the staircase exit and focused on the other side with the wooden door. Looking at the wooden door, Angel knew it should be the last room he could search.
For some reason, Angel suddenly had a strong feeling that the special Guidance Method that Mentor had mentioned about would be in this room.
This room is significantly different from any of the other rooms that Angel has been to, the door is twice as high as the others, reaching a height of about three meters, so Angel does not have to bow his head to enter.
Unexpectedly, Angel felt a trace of apprehension as he stepped into the last room at the end of the staircase.
As soon as he entered the room, Angel was swayed by a burst of golden light, and fixed his eyes forward. Now he was standing on in a corridor where he could not see the end, the golden light was because the floor was made of gold bricks which had reflected back a golden glow from the candlelight.
Before Angel reacted to the golden floor, he observed the candlesticks on the wall, which were also cast in gold and embedded with precious gems, there were large luminescent pearls in each of the candlesticks that had dazzled his eyes.
Walking along the promenade, in addition to the expensive candlesticks, he also saw precious oil paintings on the walls from time to time, with different styles, including beautiful portraits, pictures of birds and animals, idyllic scenes of waves at sea. Although the contents of the paintings were different, but with Angel’s artistic appreciation, he also had to sigh at the foundations of the paintings.
These are definitely first-class famous works, which contain high skills, even an ordinary person can feel the strong emotions gushing out of these scenes.
Every oil painting is a treasure. But in this long corridor, it is so magnanimous to see so many together. The paintings are not separated by style, but placed at random, the creators of the oil paintings on the left express their gloom which flutter through the wind and rain. The painters on the right express in their paintings a positive and sunny attitude towards life, which is completely opposite from the styles on the left. What is most obvious is that the owner of the paintings does not understand the emotions expressed behind each painting.
According to Angel’s guess, it can be estimated that the original owner here wanted to walk in luxury, so they tried their best to fill the floor with gold bricks, casting them not only in gold, but embellishing them with candles embedded with luminous gems as well. They also brought paintings created by famous artists for decoration, but they did not know that this forced mixture of so many styles created a disharmony. These contrary styles is a practice called cooking cranes and burning harps.
Angel shook his head throughout the whole hall, disagreeing with the practice of the original owner.
Through this unlit corridor, Angel comes to an extremely wide main living space with benches in the center, corridors on either side, and stairs extending to the left and right that lead to the second floor.
The whole hall is still a very extravagant layout, at a glance, there are a lot of rooms, there are several different directions for exits. Angel looked around a little in the main living room, but there was nothing to show for it, so he went to the second floor.
Although there are corridors extending from the left and right sides of the first floor, Angel did not place them as his first choice for searching, because in his experience, the left and right sides are generally extending to the residences of the servants, as well as the kitchen and bathroom. The rooms of the real owners are all on the upper floor. Of course, Angel is not 100% certain, after all, the original style of the owner here is too strange, God knows if there will be some non-traditional layout.
There are three rooms on the second floor, the first two of which are bedrooms. According to the style of the bedroom, one is the master’s room, and the other may be the daughter’s room of the original owner. Angel saw some letters in the small drawer of the girl’s boudoir, for these texts he was no stranger to the words in the letter, which was in the common language.
“Dear Margaret, I miss you so much, even if the forest is full of miasma, even if the city guards are all around, even if the hanging prison staircase is filled with sinners, it will not stop me from thinking of you. When I miss you, the flowers sway, the birds are singing, the wind is blowing, and my heart is throbbing. Oh, Margaret, you are so beautiful, beautiful as a shining full moon, shining upon on my humble heart; beautiful as… … ”
After reading only a short bit of the letter, Angel could not help getting goose bumps all over his body.
This is a completely fleshy love poem!
Angel speculated that the owner of the girl’s boudoir might be Margaret, and the love letter written by one of her admirers.
Angel took out a few more letters, all of which seemed to have been written to Margaret by the same person, with exactly the same handwriting. Angel did not see much useful information except for the same numbing words. To sum up these letters, they probably mean: “I know you don’t love me, but just know that I love you.”
It can be said that these are secret love letters to a single lover.
Soon, Angel saw the last letter, with only one scribbled sentence: “Oh, Margaret! A great upheaval has taken place. We must leave at once. I love you forever, my dear!”
“Upheaval?” Angel looked at the words, he remembered the ruins of the Flower Garden Labyrinth, Sanders had showed him all those dilapidated scenes with the crystal ball before entering the Nightmare Plane. Is it because of some kind of upheaval that the Flower Garden Labyrinth was abandoned?
At the bottom of this letter, there is also a row of text. But these lines of text are from someone else, the font is even more beautiful than the ones previously written, and with the beautiful flowery text it reads: “I love you too, Augustine.Noah.”
