Chapter 287: Graveyard Crown
The "resentful soul" itself cannot cause any physical attacks, and can only rely on the ability to absorb attributes, and is completely helpless against Zhao Xu.
And Zhao Xu, who heard the unusual parts of the plot, walked forward boldly.
The "resentful spirit" itself belongs to the already crazy soul, and it is impossible to communicate with him at all.
Moreover, as he approached, the sound of muttering in his ears became more and more intense, and with the deep and confined space, the "resentful spirit" suspended above his head looked extremely cold like a cluster of ghosts.
However, Zhao Xu, as a male, and he himself is also a "mage" and "priest" with spells, he is born with the confidence to deal with imaginary undead creatures.
At this time, he was completely distracted, and he took a closer look at the group of undead creatures.
After knowing that every building in this "Land of Sleepers" was actually Arthur's former "haunted house", he was also a little worried about Wang Ningwei and Eswig, who might be hiding in this city.
More than 20 "Resentful Souls" numbering that challenged level 3 were only "low" at the beginning, and the "medium" and "high" danger numbers behind it, even if Zhao Xu used the power of the "Lord of the Undead", he might not be able to deal with it.
Zhao Xu's gaze fell on the "resentful souls" floating on the ceiling, and he swept them one by one, as if he was identifying.
After seeing that Lux was a little confused, Zhao Xu said: "We finally heard that those murderers were thrown in here and locked up for death, and let them be left to the disposal of these resentful spirits, which sounds quite relieving." ”
"It's just that it's really a means to dispel the 'resentful spirit', not a means to create 'Anta City'."
"Like the creatures that are template for 'ghosts', they will only be able to dissipate normally if they fulfill their last wishes. And although the 'resentful spirit' is not necessarily dissipated, it is somewhat close. ”
Lux listened to Zhao Xu's analysis, "Master, are you saying that those who were thrown in are actually not murderers?" ”
However, Zhao Xu shook his head, "I just listened to the voices of a total of twenty-two resentful souls here, and then established the files in turn, and then analyzed them according to the titles and content mentioned in their speeches, and found a point. ”
After Zhao Xu's memory improved, he was already equivalent to the point where he could directly type drafts in his mind, even if the information clues were disordered, he could sort them out one by one.
"Although they were kidnapped and tortured by those four murderers, there is someone else behind the scenes."
Zhao Xu's tone was cold, and at this time he turned his head and looked at the mysterious painting hanging at the corner when he had just come down the stairs.
"Because, those murderers who were sacrificed have also become 'resentful spirits'! They are also pleading in pain. ”
"Wraiths themselves possess the supernatural ability to 'go berserk', and anyone who tries to detect, control, or sense their minds will be saliently harmed, which may have caused the town to not realize the truth in the first place." Zhao Xu said.
Zhao Xu now has the trait of "undead", which is only immune to attribute absorption, not attribute damage, so he didn't try it rashly.
After some combing, he found that there are still many resentful souls' dialogue logic that does not match, as if everyone is not telling the same thing, and this can only be seen in the next evidence mining.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at the other rooms connected to the hall.
If the four murderers who tortured tourists at the beginning were themselves controlled by "spells", it means that this murder house itself was intentionally created.
And this means that those priests of Naraku, the god of death, are suspicious.
Their job is to rebuke and even order the undead.
The one who disperses and destroys the undead should be the priest of the good god.
It was only at the beginning that the other party directly threw the murderer into the haunted house, and this kind of means that the good god priest couldn't do attracted everyone's attention.
This suggests that the presence of resentful spirits in this room from the beginning was itself a "premeditated" action.
After talking to Lux about his speculation, Zhao Xu also lowered his pace and explored several other rooms in this completely dark space.
He already sensed that he might have inadvertently touched the truth about the establishment of the Land of the Sleepers.
According to Lux, the houses in the entire city are made up of "haunted houses" with "undead creatures" appearing.
It's just that Zhao Xu now finds that in these places, there are signs that can be artificially made?
Even the killing itself may have been deliberate.
It may mean that the emergence of "Anta City" is not such a natural thing.
In this way, Anta City, the "Land of Sleepers", is not just a city of undead creatures.
At this time, Zhao Xu gently pushed open a half-hidden door, and found that the furniture inside had also been cleaned up, obviously when the house was transferred at the beginning, the internal furniture was removed.
After confirming that there was no other abnormality inside, Zhao Xu also tried to walk into this room with a size of about three meters by four meters, and slowly wandered to the window that nailed the door panel.
This time, there was no more sudden flash of bloody handprints, and it was still the spell that Arthur folk circulated to "drive away the undead".
"This?" Lux exclaimed.
Zhao Xu also looked at the plank attentively and understood what Lux said.
The planks nailed from the inside were scratched with their fingernails, as if someone had struggled to escape here.
And the resentful spirit itself can't leave any physical traces.
"This is what the murderers who were locked up in?" Lux guessed.
Zhao Xu just nodded and didn't say much.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu squatted down directly, stroking the wooden floor on the ground that had become pitted because of no care for a long time.
Then he took out a pair of chisels that were originally used for climbing from the ordinary backpack on his back, plunged directly into the cracked cracks in the floor, and pried them violently.
The wooden floor, which was no bigger than a step, was turned over.
The dazzling red blood words directly occupied Zhao Xu's sight.
Behind these wooden floors, blood-red ritual incantations are depicted.
Zhao Xu, who confirmed his judgment, could only shake his head helplessly, sure enough, these evil priests did things that were not much better.
No wonder the once Grim Reaper was in the evil camp.
This room, when the floor was first laid, had already prepared this necromantic ritual to transform resentful spirits.
Everything that happened after that happened happened under deliberate guidance.
After understanding this, Zhao Xu also stood up directly.
"It seems that this building is a chaotic city, and the layout of each building has its own deeper meaning."
Saying that, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at the ground under his feet, I am afraid that there, there are also corresponding ritual spells, running the city.
The question is, what is the purpose of the situation that the Grim Reaper deliberately built this city when he was alive?
He even left a part of his godhead for this until he was later acquired by "Edmund".
This kind of layout, it hasn't been lifted until the fall of death, it's like a mage's back hand, if it doesn't use it until death, it's not a back hand.
Zhao Xu knew that he was involved in a shocking secret.
But at this moment, he has no way out, and can only continue to overcome obstacles like the former ancestor 'Edmund'.
"Master, what do you do next?" Lux was clearly aware of the seriousness of the matter.
However, Zhao Xu had already calmed down, "Remember the first two times I used the 'Divine Pattern', each time the destructive power of the city is increasing, so when I use the 'Lord of the Undead' this transcendent divine power for the last time, I'm afraid this time it will be a big shock that will affect half of the city." ”
"That's when we might be able to see the meaning of the rituals set up in the city."
"As for now, it's time to play the role of our three-ring mage."
Saying that, Zhao Xu took out a ball of white wax from his backpack, and then took out an alcohol lamp, he wore gloves and used the alcohol lamp to heat the white wax in his hand, so that it could be shaped, and suddenly pinched out a "ring" with a diameter of more than ten centimeters.
In the absence of the "Howard convenience bag", Zhao Xu could no longer carry many spell-casting equipment.
The spell itself requires a number of elements, such as "spells", "poses", "materials", "equipment", etc.
The materials are consumable, and materials up to 1 gold can be replaced with the "Spell Casting Free" specialty.
But the "equipment" cannot be replaced, and the ring made of white ash in Zhao Xu's hand is the same as the next "spell-casting equipment".
After finishing it, Zhao Xu put the ring on the top of his head, and at the same time took out a ball of something wrapped tightly in cloth from his pocket, and gently spread it open, so that the soil of the cemetery inside fell in front of him.
Then Zhao Xu began to chant, and his deep voice seemed to be the mournful whisper next to the cemetery.
Slowly, driven by Zhao Xu's spell and the seal in his hand, the spilled graveyard soil began to rise into the air, wrapping around his ash headband little by little.
Then a gloomy and bleak white energy mass directly appeared in Zhao Xu's palm, accompanied by an ominous aura, and he decisively poured it into the top of his head.
"Cemetery crown."
The original head ring of white ash was taken off by Zhao Xu, and a ghostly mist directly appeared on the top of his head to form a new ring, and then disappeared again.
In the end, only a magical crown of human bone hovered over his head.
