Chapter 325: Diary
The ground was covered with a bright black floor, gorgeous crystal pendant lamps hanging from the ceiling. Pure fragrant wooden tables and chairs, exquisitely carved bookcases… There were even swimming pools, sky gardens, cloisters. Standing on the rooftop, he can overlook the whole town... Whether it's the layout or decoration, it was full of luxury and glory.
It's not even worse than his castle!
Tang Yu opened the door and searched room by room ... he guessed that the pivot that controls the whole secret realm, the rift crystals, were likely in these five towers.
He's already inside the secret realm. Even if the entrance had closed, he could leave with Town Portal Scroll, so there's no worry. In addition to the rift crystals, he hoped to find valuable items.
Walking through the corridor and opening the door to the room, his eyes swept around.
Maybe the various mechanisms in the tower were still working; even if it had been abandoned for a long time, there was not much dust.
"There's a situation here."
Red Moon's voice came into his ears like a clear breeze.
Tang Yu ran away quickly and saw Red Moon wearing a black robe, standing in a room with an area of more than 100 square meters, looking ahead.
"That's..."
A figure in an exquisite robe sat on a chair. Tang Yu was startled at first and perceived it carefully, only to find that the person had no more breath.
He went around to the front and got a good look.
The corpse was male. The skin and flesh were sunken, dry, and lacking in color, but other than that, the corpse didn't emit a foul smell or rotted away.
"It looks like he should be the owner of the tower. Living in such a large place alone is a bit extravagant."
The robe on the corpse should be a good piece of rune equipment. Tang Yu thought about it but didn't pull it off. He walked to the exquisite wardrobe, and when he opened it, he found several robes of similar style.
"It's rune equipment and three kinds of runes..."
Tang Yu took one piece in his hand and looked at it carefully, "Just, what rune is this inscribed with? Dust rune? Constant temperature rune? Water-resistant rune?"
All three runes were not combat useful.
The water-resistant rune doesn't allow people to dive into the water. At best, it can keep the clothes from getting wet on rainy days.
At first, he thought it was just one piece of daily clothing... But Tang Yu overestimated the tower owner; not only other robes but even the staff placed next to the corpse were engraved with runes such as lighting and guiding the way.
So these were aid runes?
After searching the room, Tang Yu was a little bit dumbfounded, "Forget it, you can find so many things in one room. The value of this secret realm was far above the tombs, and the robes for removing dust, constant temperature, and water are inscribed, although it is not applicable for fighting, but as a daily high-end product, it should sell well."
On the table in front of the corpse, a fine parchment book was placed, and Tang Yu finally picked it up.
Not surprisingly, he did not understand the words above, nor was it a rune language that he could tell the meaning at a glance.
"Where is the promised world-wide Chinese speaking? The ancients deceived me!" Tang Yu spat out.
Not worried about the language barrier.
He turned over the first page of the parchment book, took out a detection crystal, and shone it down on the dense text on the parchment.
"I awakened from my deep slumber. Has the prophesied era come? I was overjoyed and looked at the mechanical calendar on the wall for the first time. Fortunately, the calendar was not damaged. It shows that today is May 17th. But unfortunately, one calendar cycle is only a hundred years, and now, I'm sure it has passed more than one cycle."
"I guess I've been asleep for at least a few hundred years. It's unbelievable! I'm only 180 years old. I'm very young. Fortunately, I didn't sleep like a fool."
"Merlin and the others are also awake. Oh, I should get together with them first."
Tang Yu turned page after page; every time he turned a page, he had to shine a new detection crystal, which made him feel a little heartbroken.
"On June 17th, a month has passed, the secret entrance has not been opened yet, and our hearts are a little disturbed. With this setup, as long as the source power concentration outside reached a certain level, then the secret realm entrance will be open naturally."
"This is the best way; no one knows how far away the fifth era is. The sleeping potion doesn't let us sleep for thousands of years. I should say that the price of that is too high, except for the royal families of three major countries, I'm afraid no one can afford to pay it. But even it will be a waste to them."
"On June 25th, the remaining ingredients after the crystallization of the sleeping potion were finally resolved by us. This is bad news. Our awakening... is not because the 'opportunity' has arrived, but the solution has lost its effect... This is the sleeping potion for 300 years. And our branch next door prepared only 250."
"It may be that the flow of time in our secret realm is not slow enough. After all, we can't precisely control the direction of the secret realm. But there is another possibility that the interval between the Fifth and the Fourth era is too long."
"How long is it? 10.000 years, 20.000 years, 100.000 years? It was clear that the time interval between the Third and the Fourth era was less than ten thousand years. I don't know what happened in the Fourth era. The powerhouses called Gods have all fallen, and they have gradually dissipated with the source of heaven and earth. It is said that thousands of years ago, there were people who successfully broke through the Transcendent, but it is impossible to wait for our generation. If not, there was no need to risk sleeping and waiting for the fifth age era..."
Tang Yu's mouth gradually opened wide.
The information contained in this diary was really a bit much.
From just a few words, he summed up some keys.
The owners of the diary, including the one Master Merlin, mentioned in it, a total of five people belong to an organization called the 'Truth Mage Alliance', which was a world-class organization, but relatively loose. All five of them belong to the senior management of a certain branch of the Mage Alliance.
There were only five of them in the whole secret realm.
But according to the diary owner, the three great nations, the Ancient Spirit Dynasty, the Seer Empire, and the Holy Glory Empire… they were the ones in control of the world. Maybe there were more people in those three kingdoms who managed to awaken in the fifth era. Some may have mixed in with human society.
Tang Yu was more than a little wary.
People who awakened from the fourth era were mostly masters; perhaps some have broken through the transcendent. For the current human race, such existence might be a blessing, but it may also bring calamity.
"However, why is the modern era called the fifth era? And they seemed to know for a long time about the changes that were about to take place in the fifth era?"
"The first two eras in the four eras weren't mentioned. But the third era was known as the fall of the Gods. And in the fourth era, transcendent doesn't appear, the source power declining and was known as the end times."
"It was said that the modern era is doomsday? This is not scientific!"
However, Tang Yu could not figure out one more thing. The fourth era was only the End Times and not the doomsday.
He guessed the fourth era is similar to the ancient era. Due to the existence of source power, it was much more prosperous than the Middle Ages and the ancient times of the Great Xia Kingdom. At least the common people can fill their stomachs, and the whole world was also relatively peaceful.
It seems...no matter the big countries or small countries, as well as other forces, focus on the Fifth Age in the prophecy.
But such a prosperous era was not recorded at all in history. In terms of time, the interval was also very far away.
What happened during this period that caused the historical fault?
