Chapter 118: The Underground Torture Chamber and the Secret of Light

"Jason!"

The sudden action of the elven warrior suddenly made everyone outside anxious! But only ten moments later, the gate suddenly began to rise rapidly on its own, and then opened completely with a bang. At this moment, everyone was worried about Jason's safety, so they ran in quickly, and after a few steps, they saw Jason who was manipulating the mechanism in a secret door on the right.

Looking at everyone's anxious and angry eyes, Jason said with an unprecedented flush on his face:

"I'm sorry to worry you, but in the Elven Continent, many treasure house gates still use this structure, so I suddenly remembered that I broke in......"

"You're so presumptuous! What if there is any danger inside? Scared the hell out of me! ”

Charlotte's little face flushed at this time, and she deliberately lowered her voice and shouted.

"Shhhh Silence, I seem to hear something, there is something inside! ”

At this time, Zhang Yang suddenly spoke, he released his perception just now outside, and wanted to probe the situation inside the door, but this door completely blocked the detection of perception! And now, after entering, the perception still can't pass through any walls! This is so weird! At this time, Zhang Yang suddenly keenly heard something coming from the depths of the prison.

Everyone trusted Zhang Yang's judgment very much, so they all consciously silenced and then carefully followed behind him. Silently, only the sound of torches burning in hand and the sound of light footsteps echoed in the empty and silent aisles. Just when everyone walked dozens of meters inside, crossed the corridor and entered a hall, the scene in front of them made everyone who saw it creepy!

This hall has a radius of more than 100 meters, and is divided into two parts. In the center is a three-dimensional board that looks like a dissecting table, surrounded by stone seats, most of which have rotten armor and blackened bones!

The most terrifying thing for everyone is actually the board hanging in the middle! At this time, after thousands of years, there is still a dry corpse that has been pierced by nine long nails and nailed to it, and the whole body is dark green and hideous!

Zhang Yang noticed that there was still a faint glow of magic runes occasionally flashing on those spikes, but it might be that because of the long time that had passed, the magic power had been consumed and was almost about to be disillusioned.

Zhang Yang looked closely, and the long nails pierced the hands and feet joints, heart, spine, eyes, and mouth of the dried corpse!

What kind of sin did this man commit? Why such a cruel punishment? Zhang Yang was thinking of this, but Sean opened his mouth with a little trembling.

"This man must be a necromancer! Moreover, he has at least reached the 6th order or more during his lifetime, and is close to the 7th order of the legend of the powerhouse! ”

"Isn't it called a lich? Aren't all lich legends above Tier 7? ”

Zhang Yang asked with some understanding.

"No, if it's a seventh-order lich, there will only be oily green bones left in his body, and the lich has its own soul box, if the body is destroyed, they will be resurrected from the soul box, and then they will not be killed by this punishment of nine nails to destroy the soul."

"So that means this guy is actually dead? But if he was already dead, how could he still spread the undead plague after so long? ”

The Medici took a few steps forward with the fat white cat in her arms, looked at the strange scene around her, and frowned and asked.

"That's right, this kind of maximum punishment was recorded in the Temple of Light, but that was thousands of years ago."

"Huh? What's going on? ”

At this time, Zhang Yang saw that Jason was going to check the wreckage sitting on the stone chair, but when he touched the wreckage of the armor, the dry bones that were originally crooked there suddenly turned into ashes, and the rotten armor also fell to the ground! With a loud sound, the corpses on the surrounding stone chairs were instantly dispersed into flying ashes at the same time!

"I didn't do anything! Just to see how they died! ”

Jason stood in place at a loss, looking at the rest of the people with some amazement. At this time, Zhang Yang suddenly spoke.

"Don't look at it, they're all poisoned. And it was poisoned by someone I was familiar with. ”

"Why? How do you know? ”

Facing the curious crowd, Zhang Yang didn't go around in circles, and explained directly:

"You didn't notice that the bones between the neck and the chest and abdomen of these dry bones have turned black-green, and the rest of the place is gray-black, which means that they drank something highly poisonous before they died. As for why someone familiar did it? Because their weapons were all around and they were not drawn. The posture of the body is relatively upright, as if it is a celebration of something, and you can see that there are some gold cups with black dirt scattered nearby. ”

Hearing Zhang Yang's analysis, everyone really saw that there was a golden cup near each chair! So, what are they doing together?

"Yes, Captain Wright has a point, this is supposed to be the torture chamber where the necromancers were executed, and these people were all poisoned together during the celebration after the execution! So I probably know who this poisoner is......"

Everyone was curious when they heard Sean say that they knew who the murderer was, how did he know? I just heard Sean say slowly:

"The one who poisoned is the chief priest here! Once a light mage! ”

"What !?"

"Why is that!? How did I not know? I've read all the historical records in the Temple of Light, but I've never mentioned it in a word! Sean, you're going to have to make it clear to me!! ”

When Charlotte heard this, a monstrous wave suddenly set off in her heart! If this reasoning is true...... No way!

"Charlotte, calm down, it's a very likely thing. As you all know, I come from an ancient mage family in Pompeii, the Magic Kingdom, and the history of Orlando is very detailed in our records. Recorded history dates back 5,000 years! Legend has it that the magic tower of Her Royal Highness the Queen of Magic even contains the Chaos Calendar of the Ancient Times and records of the gods of the Ancients! ”

"What's written there? How did you conclude all this? ”

Faced with Charlotte's questioning, Sean had no choice but to reluctantly continue:

"During the Bi-Moon Period, about 1,000 years or so of the Bi-Moon Calendar, the Temple of Light suddenly grew and expanded, and it was all forced out by the sudden rise of necromancy! Necromancy originated from dark magic, and many of its spells were too cruel for the world to tolerate, but this was not the most important, and the most important thing was that many mages who practiced necromancy began to massacre humans for the sake of undead experiments! This behavior directly led to the necromancer becoming everyone's public enemy for a time. At that time, the power of the Temple of Light was due to the strength attribute to restrain necromantic magic, so it developed rapidly and became an important force against necromancers. However, the light mages at that time were also too extreme, and they captured and killed all the necromancers, even if they didn't do anything bad...... How could such a history be written in the books of the temple? ”

"What does all that have to do with here?!"

"Because of the fight against necromancers, the light mages are respected by everyone, so much so that any necromancer caught will have the local priest come to purify the ...... Now we see the dead bodies all over the ground, but we don't see the main priest who is presiding over the ceremony in the middle...... The facts are already obvious......"

"This ......"

Charlotte was a little stupid, had the Temple of Light ever done something like this? This is not in keeping with the purity and justice she has always believed in!

"Meow~ What that little guy said is really meow! However, the Temple of Light also changed a lot of meows in the later period, who made the necromancers at that time really too much. ”

"Garfield-sama! You woke up?! ”

The Medici saw Garfield, the fat white cat in the satchel in her arms, wake up at this time, and her heart suddenly felt happy! After all, Garfield-sama is a legendary-level powerhouse, isn't he? In the event of a crisis, it can be regarded as an extra layer of protection.

"Don't be stupid, meow! There's a very dangerous smell here! Where's that giant man among you? ”

Hearing Garfield, the fat white cat, say this, it was only then that everyone found out that Captain Wright had disappeared at some point!
