Chapter 310: Ancient Elf Remains

Dylan pushed the lid with all his strength, but the sarcophagus didn't move, and nothing changed at all.

You know, now Dylan is a magister level, and he also has shadow magic attached to his palm, even so, this heavy coffin lid still makes it difficult for him to get his hands on it.

He stood at the bottom of the lake and circled the huge sarcophagus twice, trying to see if there was any mechanism.

But after searching several times, he was still confused, and he couldn't find any mechanism at all.

Dylan was at a loss, and he returned to the stele and began to reread the inscriptions, hoping to find clues to the opening of the coffin.

When he read it for the third time, he suddenly noticed something unusual, as there were a dozen Old Elves in it that seemed to be different in size from the others.

Dylan read the dozen words individually, a little slumped.

However, when the last word was finished, the sarcophagus that had been tightly closed suddenly moved away, slowly revealing the remains of the fifty ancient elves inside.

Dylan looked at the elven bodies in silver armor with a shocked look on his face.

I really didn't expect that the remains of these fifty ancient elves, after being preserved in this sarcophagus for thousands of years, were still so intact, like living creatures asleep.

Looking at the appearance of these ancient elves, it seems that they are taller and more solid than today's elves, and their skin is whiter.

Dylan knew that these bodies had been lying in the sarcophagus for thousands of years and were already fragile, so they needed to be resealed as soon as possible in order to better protect the bodies of these ancient elves.

Dylan hurriedly recited the dozen or so ancient elven words again, allowing the coffin lid to close again, and then with a wave of his hand, the huge sarcophagus disappeared in an instant.

Where did the sarcophagus go? It went into Dylan's Void Ring.

"Now that the body of the ancient elf has been found, let's get back to the surface as soon as possible. ”

Dylan thought, just swimming quickly upward.

At this time, more than half an hour had passed since he went down to the lake, and if he hadn't somehow learned how to breathe underwater, Dylan would have drowned him alive.

Once on the shore, Dylan briefly recounted what he had seen at the bottom of the lake to Ngelul and Tarr.

"Our ancestors even worshipped the god of water? However, in our historical records, we have always worshipped the moon god Elune, and we have never heard of the legend of worshipping the god of water. Tal looked dazed.

Englu also nodded: "Yes, according to the records, our elves are incarnated by the essence of moonlight, and our origin is inextricably linked to the moon god Elune, how can we worship any water god?"

But at this moment, Engru suddenly remembered a wild history of the elves.

He couldn't help but say, "It is rumored that tens of thousands of years ago, there was a very small tribe among the elves who broke away from Darnassus's rule and went elsewhere, and never returned to Darnassus since. ”

"Could it be that this former branch of the elven clan later believed in the so-called water god, so there was a similar sacrificial ritual?"

Engru once thought that this account was just a fabrication by someone else, but in retrospect, it may not be impossible.

Dylan shook his head helplessly: "Although I have the inheritance of the dragon clan, there is no information about the elf clan branch you mentioned, so I don't know how to explain this problem." ”

"However, judging by their size, they do seem to be somewhat different from you. They need to be taller, with whiter skin and thicker armor. ”

When Engrew heard this, he was even more sure of his guess: "That should be them!"

"Because, our clan is generally not very strong, mainly tall and flexible, so the armor we wear will also be light armor, not heavy armor. ”

"Perhaps the branch of that clan has undergone some changes in size over the millennia since it broke away from Darnassus's rule, so it needs to wear heavier armor. ”

Seeing that they could not reach an accurate conclusion for the time being, the three of them could only stop struggling on this issue.

Dylan said, "Now that I've got the bodies of these elves, we'd better let the ghost cavalry complete the ritual of rebirth while the remains are well preserved." ”

Mentioning this, Englu couldn't help but look embarrassed: "Regarding the legend of rebirth, although it is indeed mentioned in the literature of the elves, but what the specific method should be, we still need to go back to Darnassus, and after consulting the relevant information, we will make plans." ”

Dylan naturally doesn't have any opinion on this.

Now that his mission at Lake Dia has been completed, the next step is to head to the Arctic Sea.

And on the way to the Arctic Sea, you have to pass through Darnassus.

In this way, after a short rest, the three of them left Dia Lake and began to hurry back.

After a few days of traveling, the group finally returned to Darnassus.

Engru reported the situation to the Elven King as soon as possible, and when he mentioned that he was going to hold a resurrection ceremony for the thirty or so ghost cavalry, the Elven King naturally expressed his support.

For a time, the old scholars of Darnassus began to look through a large number of documents to find out the specific practices of the rebirth ritual.

After three or five days of preparation, they finally got everything ready, chose a full moon night, and began the ceremony.

The location of the ceremony was deliberately chosen at the stargazing platform behind the palace, which was at a high altitude after all, and without the shade of the dense woods, it could absorb more moonlight essence, which was more conducive to the ceremony.

On this night, all the elders of the elven clan were present, and there were some elven royal families with relatively high status.

At the behest of the king of elves, the fluorite west of Darnassus was ordered to be removed, and the elves were asked not to go out at night.

Because when the ritual really begins, the Ghost Cavalry, composed of thirty-three elves, will enter Darnassus and complete the most crucial possession.

This time, the rebirth ceremony was presided over by the prophet Engru.

He looked up at the color and shape of the moon, and said, "The moon is in the sky, and this is the time when the moonlight is at its strongest, so let's start the ceremony!"

At the command of the prophet Engru, all the elders picked up the moonstone in front of them and began to chant the ancient incantation in their mouths.

In the center of the stargazing platform, the huge sarcophagus was completely open, and the bodies of fifty ancient elves were bathed in the bright moonlight, and what awaited them was the fate of rebirth!
