In the messy hall, Ryan listened to the spirits in front of him tell their stories and asked, "Can you tell me what's behind this door?"

"It's the palace where the Witch King lived, and everything in it was prepared for his eternal life. "The witch king in the back row is my father, and I heard him talking to himself in the palace, and I was made into a cocoon when he found me. ”

It seems that there will be no other traps ahead, thinking of this, Ryan was in a much better mood, so he asked these souls in front of him. "What are you going to do now?"

After the spirits gathered and whispered for a while, the soul who had just claimed to be the daughter of the Witch King walked up to the front and saluted Ryan, and then spoke. "The Witch King is great, but he is no longer him after that journey in search of immortality. We want you to take us in and take him where he needs to go. Then we will be able to fulfill our wishes and go down the path of death. ”

Signing the oath with death itself again, Ryan moved into a group of temporary tenants.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Ryan finally knew why such a powerful civilization would disappear without a trace: not every one of them could succeed in making corpse cocoons, and more than 30 corpse cocoons meant that at least 300 wizards had died behind them.

After all, the more powerful anything in the wizarding world is, the lower the success rate of crafting, and the success rate of making a corpse puppet warrior with a shelf life of no more than half a year in Lane's life magic inheritance is at most a little more than eighty percent, and this kind of magician who can maintain it for thousands of years must have a high success rate.

Even according to the wizard spirits just now, the Witch King had already understood the mysteries of life and death when he created them. The success rate of this kind of thing will not exceed 1 in 10.

If you think about it, the complex writing system of this civilization is very detrimental to the spread of culture, and the number of wizards may be a little smaller than that of other civilizations (illiteracy is absolutely impossible to reach the level of normal wizards). ）。 The wizards that the Witch King killed to create the cocoon are likely to be the vast majority of the wizards in the realm. Coupled with the people in the blood pool outside who were related to the construction of the temple, it is estimated that the entire civilization has mastered the knowledge of the people who have died here.

A civilization that has lost its knowledge bearers and leaders will soon become civil wars or flee because the land does not have enough people, and eventually they will return to the wilderness. It is likely that the smaller city-states and pyramid temples of Mesoamerica were built by the people who fled here, but in the absence of sufficient magic and knowledge, they could only form some simplified version of the civilization.

No wonder the witch king's daughter said that he was no longer him, and that the complete destruction of the civilization he had built for the sake of eternal life was something that a normal human could do.

After lamenting the destruction of a great civilization, Ryan began to search for loot from the coke on the ground. Each wizard is sealed in front of the sculpture with a variety of magical props, but unfortunately, with the passage of time and the baptism of lightning just now, there are very few things that can really be left.

But it was definitely good to survive the double blow of time and thunderstorms, and Ryan finally harvested an obsidian honor guard knife, a meteorite amulet, and an emerald slab with gold trim, and after asking the souls of those wizards in the sea, the owner of these things told Ryan how to use the magic props in front of him.

Ryan then harvested a knife against spirits that could be used in magical rituals, a talisman that could withstand an instantaneous attack, and a magic stone tablet for the manipulation and transformation of corpses with skill.

In the end, Ryan burned the dried corpse to ashes with flames, then took out a few empty bottles and filled them with ashes, and chose a good place in the hall to pry open the floor tiles and bury the bottles. After all, their souls had provided Ryan with a lot of help, and it was inappropriate for them to stay here in this case. So Ryan spent a bit of effort helping them settle down. As for the blood pool just now, there was really no way to do it, so I could only go out and ask someone to bury it.

After clearing the battlefield, Ryan returned to the way he came from to call Hermione back. When he found Hermione, he found her sitting against a pillar with her fingers crossed on her knees praying for Ryan.

"Are you alright?" Hermione asked, standing up as she saw a somewhat disgraced Ryan approaching.

"It's fine, it's just that I got the ashes on my body when I turned over the loot after the fight. With that, Ryan handed the meteorite amulet to Hermione. "This thing can dodge an instantaneous attack, so take it with you. After all, it's dangerous here, and you can reassure me a lot with this. ”

Hermione nodded and took the amulet with her, and the two of them walked to the wooden door.

After checking the door according to the instructions of those spirits in his head, Ryan pushed the door open. He was stunned when he opened the door, because standing in front of him was a samurai in gold armor and armed with an obsidian spear. Ryan could even see the intricate tattoos on his face.

Subconsciously, Ryan and the two waved the things in their hands at the same time to cast a spell, especially Ryan felt extremely nervous now. Because there is an iron law in the life spell, the more powerful the dead creatures, the smaller the difference between them and when they were alive, how powerful a guy like the one in front of him who is not much different from living will be He didn't even dare to think about it.

But perhaps the wind picked up when he waved his arms, and the samurai quickly turned into powder in front of them. A set of gold equipment on his body crackled and fell to the ground, falling everywhere.

Ryan stepped forward to take a closer look, only to find that the samurai in front of him was already dead. But because it has been sealed for thousands of years, it is intact under the protection of magic. But when they opened the door, the confined environment was completely broken, so he naturally turned to dust.

It turns out that this is the case, whether it is the color on the Qin figurines or the lotus root pieces in the Mawangdui Han Tomb, rapid weathering after environmental changes is a very common phenomenon in the archaeological world, even if this is archaeology in the magic world, many principles are also common.

Ryan and the others figured out why, bypassing the pile of golden armor in the middle of the road and moving on, at which point Ryan could be sure that they were now in another dimension of the temple. Because inside this gate is a complete temple, and there is even a golden magic ball in the sky that releases light and acts as the sun.

Time seems to have frozen here, and there is a soldier standing guard under each pillar of the temple, and handmaidens are distributed in the courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard, the richly dressed priests looked like they were heading to the glittering golden temple in front to meet their gods. Everything was as it was when the witch king was alive.

But all the organic matter visible to the naked eye was rapidly weathering, and of course Ryan and the others walked to the Golden Pyramid Temple, and everything that had been before was gone. All that was left were piles of ashes and stone and gold artifacts scattered from the ashes.

"Do you want to stay here?" asked Ryan Hermione. "Because the temple above is supposed to be the most dangerous place in here. ”

"I don't think it's safe anywhere in this pyramid if the stuff inside can overcome you, and I'm not a burden, maybe I can help you up there. Hermione said firmly after a moment's thought.

"Alright, let's go up together. With that, the two men walked down the steps towards the building at the top of the pyramid.
