Chapter 842: Falling Stars (I)
Ed looked back in some surprise. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he heard the sudden change in tone...... Suddenly there was no longer such a friendly and sincere tone, and there was a hint of hostility in the caution.
"I think your friend has found the place to look?" the mage said calmly, staring at him, "Did she tell you?"
Ed nodded, understood.
He sent Isis to the place where Rabaya had fled to see if he could find any clues. And Stobel seemed to be able to sense that he might have set up a ...... there
He was startled.
"Did you set a trap there?" his voice raised unconsciously, and another possibility suddenly came to mind...... You locked those mages in place?!"
Although it is not incomprehensible...... Stobel had to keep a secret, and he had no roots in the city, and naturally there were no dungeons suitable for closing a few dangerous mages.
But Is...... Even if he might not get hurt, he couldn't guarantee what a dragon caught in a trap would do if he ......got angry!
Stormbell looked at Ed, who was visibly flustered, with a complicated expression - the young man seemed unpredictable one moment, and this moment he was as simple as a blank sheet of paper, with everything clearly written on his face.
He spread his hand, and the black staff appeared out of thin air.
"Please follow me. He said, with deep helplessness in his barely calm voice.
Meteorite Valley, a tranquil valley southwest of Stonebuch, is the burial place of the Boford kings...... At least, most of the kings.
At the entrance to the valley, two warriors standing opposite each other were carved into the towering rock wall, with their swords held to their chests and solemn expressions. An army was stationed here to protect the peace of the kings. The continuous drizzle has not stopped, and in the night, a few flickering fires seem to be forever awake eyes...... But Ed knew that the guards weren't very tight.
“...... I've chased it around. He murmured in a sudden wave of guilt and frustration.
He used to be so close to her.
"They're good at hiding. Stobel glanced at him, "...... And you're not familiar with their tricks. ”
The mage's teleportation array is similarly well hidden. Surrounded by a dense patch of shrubs and cluttered rocks, it stands on a foothold that only allows two people to stand side by side, but have a clear view of their destination.
The entrance to the burial chamber of Casagrande I, which stands in the deepest part of the valley.
The door of the tomb was opened, revealing an extremely faint, cold light, and there was only the sound of rain around, as if no one disturbed the peace of the place...... However, there was an overly strong, deathly aura emanating from the tomb, and it felt cold to the bone from a distance.
A dark shadow flashed behind him. Ed looked back alarmedly, but Stobel just nodded calmly.
"My people. He whispered.
The figure standing by the bushes looked like a black shadow, as if a little moonlight could dispel it. The night and rain blurred his countenance, and only a pair of cold, wary eyes spun around Ed's face.
"Say it. "There's no need to hide anything. ”
"The dragon rushed in. The man spoke, his deep voice unexpectedly pleasant, "But the prohibition you set was broken before that...... There were others inside. ”
“...... Who?" Stormbell frowned slightly.
"I don't know. The man replied, "We can't get in...... The dragon sealed the entrance with ice. ”
Ed bowed his head in acquiescence - no wonder he felt the cold wind swishing......
“...... Can you get in touch with your friends?"
Rarely, Stobel remained calm...... and politeness.
Ed nodded repeatedly.
He was quick to get a response.
The tomb of Casagrande I was larger than that of any subsequent king, but it was very simple.
The king, obsessed with his eternal city of rocks, chose a burial ground for himself early on, and carved a magnificent palace-like burial chamber directly into the mountain...... However, when he died at the hands of his former comrades, the burial chamber was not yet complete.
In the empty cave-like stone chamber, the king's armored corpse lay in a corner, barely in a proper position. On the wall next to her, a woman with only a carved silhouette bowed her head slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of pity on her blurred face.
That was the first thing Ed saw when he appeared in the tomb. When he realized where the overly bright light was coming from, a little sudden sadness was instantly dispelled by fear.
A charred corpse fell to the ground, reduced to ashes by the time it landed.
The torches on the walls shone faintly - they almost turned to char after a sharp fire.
Before Darkness could reclaim its territory, Stormel lit a flame of light, a slowly rising ball of light illuminating the two men who were silently facing each other a few paces away.
Scott stood straight by the sarcophagus. The sarcophagus that once belonged to the king was hewn out of the rock and became one with the ground. Perhaps because it was inconvenient to move and it was located in the center of the tomb, the mages simply put Helena inside...... The runes on the ground had been destroyed, and after the flames burned, they seemed to turn into even more ominous patterns all over the ground, crisscrossing black cracks, mottled and fierce.
“...... You don't have the power to kill them like that!"
There was irrepressible anger in Stobel's voice.
He had plenty of reason to be angry. These young people from the Archmage Tower, no matter what they do wrong, only the Archmage Tower can judge and punish them...... This may be too arrogant, but it has long been a habit.
Not to mention...... These people may not sin unto death.
"Didn't I have one?"
Scott asked rhetorically without looking back.
Stobel was momentarily speechless. The bodies of loved ones were desecrated in such an evil way, and revenge seemed rightful...... But despite having the same surname, Scott probably didn't know Helena at all when she was still alive, right?!
However, he could not export this reason...... A mage who has performed necromancy is indeed unforgivable.
He just...... These young men were not much older than his sons...... And he was the one who blocked their power and locked them here......
"They don't even have the power to resist. Stobel's voice trembled slightly.
"I gave them the freedom to move. Scott replied lightly, "They have the power to resist...... It's just not enough. ”
“...... In any case, you are also called a sage, how can you ......"
"That's enough!" Iss said suddenly, interrupting him irritably, "Do you want to die for the rest of this?"
