Chapter 3718 Dark Corner
When Bonnet said "dark corner", both Sisley and Ingres looked puzzled.
Dark corner...what is it?
Is it some mysterious organization?
Facing the doubts of Ingres and Sisley, Bonette shook her head gently: "The Dark Corner is not an organization, but I don't really know what it is..."
"All I know is that Vignette is related to the Fashion Monster."
Angel frowned. "The Dark Corner is related to the Fashion Monster? What you mean is that the Fashion Monster comes from the Dark Corner? Or does the Dark Corner create the Fashion Monster?"
Bonette did not give a direct answer, but said: "When I first learned about the dark corner, I also asked the noble knight what the dark corner was."
After hearing Bonette's question, the noble knight was silent for a long time before answering: "What is the dark corner? Why is it born? Where is it? This is a question that troubles many people, and no one can answer it."
"And we know very little about the Dark Corner. Because everyone who has entered the Dark Corner has never come out again."
At that time, Bonette heard this and looked at the record in the file: "But didn't you say that this child... came from the dark corner?"
The noble knight nodded: "Yes, he came from the dark corner."
"This does not conflict with what I just said, because no one who entered the Dark Corner from the present world has ever come out again. And that child was originally born in the Dark Corner..."
So, the origin of the mysterious child is: a person born in a dark corner? Or a monster?
Noble Knight: "He is a human. Our guess is that he might be a person who accidentally entered the dark corner and gave birth to a child in the dark corner."
“But we don’t know whether this guess is true or not. We once asked the kid, and his answer was that since the moment he could remember, he had never seen anyone in the dark corner.”
And before he could remember, there must have been someone, otherwise how would he have grown up?
But again, no one knows what's going on in the dark corner, and everything is just their guess.
Bonnet: "Since the mysterious child comes from the Dark Corner, he should know what's going on in the Dark Corner, right?"
If that is the case, why would the noble knight say that they know very little about dark corners?
In response to Bonette's question, the noble knight said softly, "We did learn some information about the dark corner from that child. But this information is basically meaningless."
"Meaningless information? Why?" Bonette didn't understand.
The noble knight looked helpless. "According to what the kid said, the dark corners are filled with endless corridors, dim lights, and houses that look similar but are different."
"There was no concept of the earth there. He felt as if he had been trapped in a huge building. Even if he looked out a window, he could only see other rooms or another dark corridor."
"This is the information he knows about the dark corner. It is actually of no help to us in exploring the dark corner..."
At this point, the noble knight suddenly changed the subject: "Actually, he is not completely useless. He once mentioned that he found a glowing ball of light in a room in a dark corner."
"He saw with his own eyes that the ball of light slowly took shape and turned into... a fitting doll."
A fitting doll, also one of the fashion monsters.
"Before, there was a speculation in the fashion magic circle that fashion monsters might come from the Dark Corner. Now, through his testimony, it is almost certain that the Dark Corner and fashion monsters are closely related."
The origin of fashion monsters and where do they live? These are the answers that fashion magicians are constantly pursuing.
Now, through the narration of this mysterious child, they have the possibility to further understand the dark corners and the monsters of fashion.
The importance of the mysterious child can be seen from this.
……
After listening to Bonette's story about the dark corner, Ingres and Sisley still had doubts in their minds.
What exactly is vignetting? It's even more confusing.
However, Bonette had already told all the secret information she knew about the secret corner, and there was no more information to be gained. Angel could only give up for the time being and focus on the mysterious child.
"How did you confirm that he came from the dark corner? Did you see him come out of the dark corner with your own eyes?"
Bonnet: "I don't know either, but the noble knight said that someone saw him suddenly appear in a corner. And that corner was originally a blind spot, where no one could hide, and there was no entrance or exit."
Angel: "So, the entrance and exit of the dark corner is in the corner?"
Bonette thought about it and shook her head. "That's not the case. No one knows where the entrance and exit of the dark corner is. All we know is that if someone suddenly disappears, and this disappearance may happen in front of others... then he is likely to have entered the dark corner."
Since it disappeared suddenly, it must have entered a dark corner.
Then, conversely, if a person suddenly appears without any warning, then he is most likely coming from a dark corner.
The fashion monster appeared without warning, and the mysterious child also appeared without warning.
Angel probably understood what Bonette meant. In a sense, the dark corner was most likely a special space...
However, what Angel didn’t understand was that if it was a special space, why couldn’t he find it when he used a God’s perspective to investigate?
Ingres couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Let's get back to the point: "Why is that kid being tracked by the Fashion Guild? And where is he now?"
Bonette did not hide anything and told everyone what she knew.
At that time, the mysterious child had just come out of the dark corner when he was discovered by the people of the Dark Round Table and taken back.
However, the Knights did not expect that the Dark Round Table was filled with a large number of spies from the Fashion Guild.
Those spies passed the child's situation to the Fashion Guild.
The importance of this kid from the dark corner goes without saying. After the Fashion Guild learned about it, they immediately sent a large number of people to track him down.
Just at that time, the child took advantage of the guard's inattention and sneaked out.
It even went through the sewers and reached the surface.
And the place where he came out happened to be the performance venue of the Asia Circus.
Looking at the colorful circus settings, he was attracted and then entered the circus to watch the performance...
Bonnet: "What happened next is what Sisley described."
The pursuer from the Fashion Guild arrived, and Sisley protected him out of weakness, so the Asia Circus was tragically implicated.
Sisley's eyes flashed with a complex expression, and he took a deep breath: "... Then, where did this child go? Where is he now?"
Bonette: "Under your protection, the Fashion Guild did not find the child. However, the Noble Knight had left a mark on him long ago. He sensed the mark, came to the surface, found him, and brought him back to the underground block."
"However, just as the noble knight brought him back to the Dark Round Table, he mysteriously disappeared... He disappeared in front of everyone."
Sisley was stunned: "Disappeared?"
Bonnet nodded: "Yes, even the mark could not be sensed. Later, the noble knight sent a large number of people to look for him, but could not find any trace."
"In the end, we had no choice but to give up. According to the Knights, he must have been captured by the Dark Corner, or in other words, he returned to the Dark Corner."
"Anyway, there was no news of him after that."
After all, according to him, his coming out of the dark corner was an accident. He just turned a corner and appeared in the world from the endless corridor.
When he returned to the dark corner again, it was almost impossible for him to get out of it. After all, not every turn was an exit.
After listening to Bonnet's story, Sisley was stunned.
The person he wanted to find was not here at all. Even the people of the Dark Round Table did not know how to find him.
Sisley smiled bitterly.
The only thing that comforted him was...
He once resented the kid because after he sheltered him, the kid just walked away like a heartless person... But now it seems that it's not that he just walked away, but that he has no way to return to the world.
Although this consolation could not reduce Sisley's resentment, it at least reduced the resentment in his heart.
However, after learning the truth, he became even more desperate.
He originally thought that if he could find the child, he would be able to untie his knot. But now it seems that this is almost impossible... How can he untie his knot if he can't even find the person?
Sisley sat back against the wall again.
However, previously he was affected by Bonette’s characteristics, but this time, it was the despair in his heart that made him collapse to the ground.
Looking at Sisley's lifeless appearance, Ingres sighed softly and snapped his fingers.
The nightmare node instantly surged into Sisley's brows, temporarily blocking his negative emotions.
After doing all this, Angel looked at the text column.
The side quest "The Hidden Corner" was completed quietly and silently.
However, only the first round of tasks was completed.
Several new lines of text are displayed on the text bar:
"Side quest "The Hidden Corner" has been completed."
"Get your reward. Y/N."
Angel didn't click to receive the reward immediately, but put it aside for the time being. Anyway, he could click to confirm at any time on the text bar.
His eyes turned to the characters "Hidden Corner".
Before, Angel didn’t quite understand why the name of this mission was so strange, but now he understood.
The hidden corner actually implies that the child comes from the "dark corner".
Angel sighed in his heart, and continued to look down at the new information displayed in the text column -
"Start a new side quest, 'The Lost Knight'."
"Task Overview: The appearance of Dark Corner makes you feel suspicious, and you decide to explore the truth of Dark Corner. How to find the truth of Dark Corner? Perhaps you can start from the former noble knight who disappeared."
"Mission objective: Find the truth behind the disappearance of the former noble knight."
This mission... is a side mission in the second round.
Just the overview of the task left Ingres a little confused: this time it seemed that it was no longer dominated by Sisley's story, but by Ingres's emotions.
He was indeed somewhat surprised by the dark corner, and even had the idea of exploring the truth behind it.
Unexpectedly, this one emotional orientation was captured by the power of the fairyland and completed as the second round of tasks.
I have to say that the wonderland missions are very malleable.
This is probably a sandbox mission?
……
Angel looked at Bonnet: "You said before that the former noble knight disappeared? Can you tell me more about it?"
Bonnet nodded and briefly stated the information she knew.
We can know this from Bonette's story.
The former noble knight came to the Knights Temperance to inquire about the identity of the child, and disappeared shortly afterwards.
His disappearance was very sudden.
At first, the Knights even wondered if he had entered a dark corner.
But something happened later that made the Knights overturn this speculation.
They found a letter left by the former noble knight.
This letter was sent to his good friend before he disappeared. Leaving aside the pleasantries in the letter, at the end of the letter, the former noble knight clearly mentioned: I will be going on a long journey in the near future, and my return date is uncertain, so don't worry.
From this, it can be confirmed that the former noble knight left in a planned way, and did not disappear "suddenly" as they thought.
Since it was a planned departure, it had nothing to do with Dark Corner.
Those who disappeared because of the dark corner disappeared suddenly without any warning, which was different from the previous noble knight.
However, although they ruled out the suspicion of the Dark Angle, they still did not find out where the former noble knight had gone. Three years had passed, and the Dark King's mission to find the former noble knight had not yet been completed.
The current speculation of the Knights Temperance is that the former Noble Knight may have gone to another city.
After all, his letter explicitly mentions "long journey".
If he really went to other cities, it would be normal that he could not be found. No matter how strong the Dark Round Table was, it could only radiate within the scope of Modern City. There was no way to reach places farther away.
The above is Bonette’s story.
After listening to this, Angel was not impressed by the judgment of the Dark Round Table.
They believed that the disappearance of the former noble knight had nothing to do with Dark Corner.
But through the overview of the second round of side quests, we can know that his disappearance is definitely related to Dark Corner.
However, the judgment of the Dark Round Table is not without reference value. Their judgment is based on the "long journey" letter.
They believed that once the former noble knight left a letter, it must have nothing to do with the Dark Corner. Because the entrance to the Dark Corner appeared without any signs, there would be no time for you to write a letter.
But think about it from another angle. If the former noble knight really entered the dark corner and left a letter, does that mean that he has cracked the pattern of the appearance of the dark corner entrance?
If that's the case.
Angel understood why the second round of side quests was related to the disappeared knight.
