Chapter 1536: black house


Remember [New] for a second,! The black house is the most special building in the fifth urban area of ​​the academic city. It is built on a protruding corner and surrounded by cliffs on three sides. On the side facing the urban area, there is a nearly 100-meter isolation zone without any buildings. , and there are no obstacles that can block the line of sight. There are two elite city guards stationed here, guarding the only entrance to the black house.
The shape of the black house is like a square. Except for one entrance and exit, there are no other openings on the wall of the house. Anyone who wants to enter through this entrance and exit needs to go through three inspections, even if it is the dean inside and outside the academy, People like Queen Teresa and Duke of Belmont are no exception.
It is precisely because the appearance of the black house, the location of its construction, and the degree of strictness of inspection are so striking that even the cleaning workers in the academic city know that there must be a huge secret hidden in the black house. The question of what is the secret is a matter of opinion.
Aside from the funny speculations such as the underwear storage points of the deans of the academic city of the past dynasties, among all the speculations, there are two most recognized ones. One is that there is a deity locked in the black house, and the other is almost a hidden one in the black house. A corpse of a god.
The reason for this kind of speculation is entirely because the strange sights that have happened in the black house in the past few years are like evidence one by one, guiding everyone who sees or hears relevant rumors to speculate on the gods.
For example, one night, the black house suddenly radiated a strong light that illuminated the entire academic city into daylight, and even the book town at the foot of the mountain was illuminated, and the light went straight to the sky, and people watching from a distance could even see it. There is a giant figure standing upright in the light. Judging from various circumstances, it seems that this giant wants to get rid of the shackles of the black house, but in the end, it is not known whether the power of the giant is too weak, or the power of the black house is too strong, in short, the giant Still unable to escape from the black house, and was bound back into the black house as the light weakened.
For another example, in a certain day, the black house suddenly became a devourer of light, and everyone could see with the naked eye that the light around the black house was distorted and swallowed, and the black hole that swallowed the light was still expanding, and eventually the entire The academic city devoured the forbidden area, and all those who were deep in it could feel that time had stopped, and their eyes seemed to be blind, unable to see or hear anything, until the swallowing black hole suddenly disappeared, and everything returned to normal in an instant.
Magical things like this happen several times a year almost every year, and the scholars and students who have been deep in the academic city for a long time have long seen it. They know very well that as long as things don't move around when they happen any danger.
The sight of this sight is enough for any reasonable person to make what he considers the boldest guess, so there are two of the most popular and recognized guesses about imprisoning the gods and storing the corpses of the gods.
Not only scholars and students in the academic city are curious about what secrets are in the black house, but also other outside forces, such as the Church of the True God, are curious. They initially scoffed at such rumors, but after seeing such strange There are more and more people in the vision, and they gradually believe that there are very amazing mysterious items stored in the black house.
It's just that due to the poor relationship with Teresa Kingdom and the City of Academics, the Church of True God could not directly send people from the church to check the rumors, but they still secretly sent a lot of spies to lurking in the book town, and even mixed into the academic world. In the city, and most of these spies also saw the strange sights and visions in the rumors.
When those wonders and visions appeared, their hearts were filled with shock, fear, and fear without exception. The black realm reminded them of the dead world that appeared when the gods died in some church classics. When the giant bound by light appeared, a few spies who were not members of the church seemed to have seen a miracle, and their inner beliefs became extremely pious, and they became mad believers directly.
After hearing the report of the church spies, the True God Church no longer doubted the truth of the rumors, and the only question that troubled them was which deity was imprisoned in the black house, and whose corpse was stored.
The church and other forces interested in the secrets of the black house use various methods to spy on the secrets, such as contacting the scholars of the city who can enter and exit the black house, through money temptation, or directly using supernatural powers such as magic to search their memories, but these Xuecheng scholars are all very important figures. They have basically never left the Fifth City District in their entire lives, and they have been surrounded by elite protectors of the city guards all their lives. So far, no force has been able to contact these Xuecheng scholars.
In addition, some people try to climb the cliff directly, from the foot of the mountain to the corner of the cliff where the black house is located on the top of the mountain, and then try to cut the outer wall from other sides to enter the black house.
Things like climbing cliffs and silently digging out outer walls may not be possible for ordinary people, but for those with extraordinary strength, it is not difficult, but these people are climbing without exception. During the process, or after climbing to the top of the mountain, he jumped down and died inexplicably.
It is precisely because of this that no one knows the secrets of the black house except those who can enter the black house. The lifelong wishes of many scholars in the academic city are not related to some academic research. Results, but into the black house.
It is precisely because the black house is so special in the academic city that the fact that Leo and Sylvia were qualified to enter the black house was confirmed at the management meeting, and it immediately spread throughout the academic city, and even Leo and Sylvia only knew about it from rumors.
Leo and Sylvia's qualification to enter the black house did not exceed the expectations of scholars and students in the city. Leo has conquered everyone in the academy with his extensive knowledge and wisdom over the past month. Sylvie Although Ya is not as dazzling as Leo, she has also shown unparalleled talent in the disciplines she is involved in, and because of her female identity, she has received the support of all women in the academy, and there is a vague sign of becoming its leader.
It would be a surprise if two such outstanding people were not qualified to enter the black house, but Xuecheng was still shocked that the two of them obtained this qualification so quickly, because in the past records Among them, it took 16 years for the person who obtained the qualification to enter the black house in the shortest time, and even if Leo and Sylvia were so good, others felt that it would take years for the two to obtain this qualification, but go now. It only took a month and a half, which shocked them, and they couldn't help but wonder what was so special about Leo and Sylvia that made the management of the academy make such an amazing decision.
Later, under the inquiries of some good deeds, the people of the academy discovered that Queen Teresa and the Duke of Belmont had come to the academy in secret, and on the day they came to the academy, they met with Leo and his wife, And Lady Sylvia looks exactly like Queen Teresa.
When the inquired news came out, many people showed a sudden look. Obviously, they all believed that Leo and Sylvia could obtain the qualification to enter the black house, which should be related to the intervention of the Royal Teresa and Belmont families. , and also guessed that Leo and Sylvia were members of the royal family of Teresa, and even boldly guessed that Sylvia might be Queen Teresa's twin sister, who also has the qualifications to become the queen and so on.
For a time, Leo and Sylvia once again became the main topic of the entire academy, but this time Leo became the supporting role of the topic, and Sylvia was the center of the conversation.
The two parties involved didn't pay attention to the various rumors in the academy at the moment, they both focused their attention on the black house.
During the routine identity review process, the entire review process was shortened to one day because of the guarantees of the deans inside and outside the city, Queen Teresa and Duke Belmonte.
After the approval, an old scholar came out of the black house. He held an object that looked like a metal short stick, and then pressed the end of the short stick on the backs of Leo and Sylvia's hands respectively.
Sylvia's control of her body has reached the extreme. When one end of the short stick pressed against the back of her hand, she immediately felt something sticking to the back of her hand, but the thing was so subtle that she couldn't see it clearly. Degree.
"Don't worry, this is the identification chip." Leo saw Sylvia frowning, and he guessed what she was thinking, so he explained.
At this moment, the old scholar did not leave. He also heard Leo's words and showed a surprised look. Obviously, he did not expect Leo to know so much about the relics of prehistoric civilization in his hands, which also made him feel for Leo. I am extremely curious, and I also expect Leo to bring them some new breakthroughs after joining their research.
After passing the identity review and attaching the identification chip, the next three inspections are just processes. However, even in the process, the rigor of the inspections has not been reduced much, especially the closeness of the female city guard to Sylvia. The inspection made Sylvia have the urge to destroy everything in front of her.
Fortunately, the three inspections were over soon, and even if Sylvia felt unhappy, she was still able to control her emotions well.
"Even Her Majesty the Queen is also subject to this kind of inspection," Dean Thomas, who received the same inspection, saw Sylvia's unhappy expression, and explained quickly, "This is something that can't be helped, after all, I covet a black house. There are too many people, and there have been secret agents of the church who changed their appearances and figures through magical techniques, disguised themselves as the dean of the academy, and tried to sneak in."
"I don't need to explain, I can understand." Sylvia motioned to Dean Thomas to stop explaining.
After that, Dean Thomas became a guide, leading the two through the isolation belt to the only entrance to the black house.
When they came to the entrance, a dark corridor automatically appeared in the middle of the door of the black house.
Dean Thomas signaled that the two should not worry, and walked directly into the corridor, and the two followed.
At the moment of entering the corridor, Sylvia only felt that her body seemed to be pulled by some force, and she could move forward without taking a step, but this feeling disappeared quickly, and the corridor disappeared at the same time. Almost instantly, an empty and huge warehouse-like interior space appeared in front of them. The entire space, whether it was the floor, walls or ceiling, radiated soft light, illuminating everything in the space.
At this time, Sylvia's attention has been attracted by the metal cube suspended in the middle of this warehouse-like space. If this cube is only suspended in the air, it will not attract her special attention. The reason why she couldn't take her eyes away was that the moment she saw the cube, the concept of perfection immediately appeared in her mind. She had never seen an object with such a simple and perfect shape, and this ultimate perfection made She had the illusion of facing the gods, and she couldn't help but feel awe in her heart.
Sylvia's performance was completely within the expectations of the scholars in the black house. The metal cube in front of them was so perfect, so perfect that even if they saw it for so many years, they would still be inadvertent when they came into contact with this cube every day. Completely attracted by the cube, let alone other people who see it for the first time, strong willed people like Queen Teresa and Duke Belmonte cannot escape the law of attraction.
However, Leo's performance surprised and puzzled these people, because Leo only glanced at the cube after entering the black house, and his eyes immediately shifted to other parts of the room, such as those prehistoric civilizations neatly placed on the ground. Relics, such as research and testing tools made by project participants themselves.
Leo's performance is unique, UU reading www. uukanshu.com has made these researchers think about it. Many people speculate that Leo may have seen this perfect cube before, and he may have been in contact with them more frequently than them. Even he already knew the mystery contained in this perfect cube. So much so that this perfect cube has no appeal to him.
Driven by doubts in his heart, a middle-aged scholar suddenly asked, "Excuse me, have you ever touched this perfect cube before?"
Although the middle-aged scholar's voice was not loud, the empty space inside the black house amplified it to the point where everyone could hear it clearly, including Sylvia and Queen Teresa who had just drawn their attention away from the cube. Everyone's eyes, including Duke Belmonte, focused on Leo.
"Well, I've seen it." Leo didn't deny it, nodded and said.
"Do you know what this is?" the middle-aged scholar asked eagerly.
For a while, everyone in the room stopped breathing, and the eyes focused on Leo became eager.
"Yes, I know what it is." Leo looked at the crowd, still nodded, and then added: "I also know how to operate and use it."
