Chapter 1597: The Cursed One
Just as Rhodes used the effect of the treasure hunting staff to explore the treasure in the treasure house and pick up the [Requisitioner], outside the treasure house, the archangel shrouded in darkness also turned around sharply as if he had found something, facing the huge door behind him.
The signal from the perception clearly told her that an intruder had entered the treasure house in the clouds, and she let out an angry rebuke into the darkness: "Sally, you dare to let people enter the treasure in the clouds, and let the crimes on people pollute this sacred land!" ”
"Which eye of yours saw that I let people in." In the darkness, a chuckle came out, "Maybe someone slipped in while we were fighting." ”
Sally's chuckle was exchanged for a blast that resounded through the sky, and after dodging the oncoming bombardment, Sally was not comfortable, and the dark yellow robe on her body also showed signs of damage.
Maintaining a semblance of ease, she glanced at the treasure house in the clouds with some concern, wondering what had happened and whether Rhodes had found the treasure he wanted.
Just an archangel, she can still handle it, but if there are more than two of them, even if she wants to escape, it will have a hard time.
At this time, in the treasure house in the clouds, after putting down the requisitioner, Rhodes seemed to feel something and quickly looked around.
I don't know if it's Rod's delusion, he felt a burst of peeping from behind. Rhodes has always been very sensitive to such gazes, and it is impossible to perceive mistakes.
Soon, Rod locked his gaze to somewhere behind him, and to Rod's surprise, there was clearly nothing.
"Who's there? Don't show up yet. ”
As he spoke, Rhodes placed the Titan Arrow in front of him, and a burst of electricity pulsed from the sword's body, emitting a blinding white light.
"Wait......" came from an unfamiliar male voice.
Under Rod's gaze, an illusion emerged from the pile of gold coins, floating in the air like a necromancer's transformed ghost, with no feet underneath him, but his body remained human.
Rhodes was a little puzzled, he didn't expect that there would be such a creature in the Cloud Treasure House, and it seemed that he had entered here earlier than he had entered.
"Who are you? How did you get here? After thinking about it, Rod asked quickly.
Perhaps because the ghost had no physical connection, Rod's peeping eye didn't work for him, and after a little thought, Rhodes decided to ask him.
"Why don't you take that powerful treasure?" Instead of answering Rod's question, the Shade asked him.
Rod frowned: "Do you hear what I'm saying?" ”
"Why don't you take that powerful treasure?" The ghost's tone did not change, and even his expression did not change for a minute, and he repeated it to Rhodes again.
"Because I don't need that treasure, I have a treasure stronger than it." Seeing that something seemed wrong with the state of the Yin Spirit, Rhodes thought for a moment and replied.
Hearing Rod say this, the Shade lowered its head and muttered something.
Rhodes approached him with some confusion, trying to hear his words so that he could get more information, but before Rhodes could get closer, the Shade rushed like madness towards the Requisitioner that Rhodes had placed on the ground.
Rhodes leaned slightly to the side, allowing the ghost to approach the artifact.
The Yin Spirit stretched out his hands and tried to pick up the requisitioner on the ground, but he couldn't, his hand passed through the treasure, and he couldn't even reach the treasure itself, even the gold coin underneath.
Seeing this, Rhodes seemed to have discovered something, and took the initiative to swing the Titan Arrow and shoot a bolt of lightning. Lightning passed through the ghost's body and struck the pile of gold coins in the distance, sending them flying everywhere.
Rhodes realized that the Yin Spirit could not touch everything he saw in front of him, neither the treasures in the Cloud Treasure House nor the magic released by Rhodes could be touched by him.
In addition, the body of this Yin Spirit was able to pass through the gold coins freely, even directly under the gold pile, which is why Rod did not notice him in the first place.
"Answer my question, who are you?" Rod asked.
"My name is Will ......" The Ghost seemed to think of something, and slowly answered Rod's question. From his mouth, Rhodes also knew his name.
"Will, huh? Why are you here, this is a treasure house in the clouds guarded by angels, and ordinary creatures are not qualified to enter. Rod stared at the ghost, trying to see his reaction from his expression.
Perhaps because of the long time there has been no communication, the tone of the ghost is a little unnatural: "I was deceived by a priest who said that I could choose the treasures here and take as many as I wanted, but I became what I am now!" ”
Rhodes was silent, but the ghost was heard as he continued, "I am the High Priestess of the Griffonheart, Nikolai Griffinhardt, and I am still a hero! If you can help me get out of this area, I'll reward you. ”
"What?" Rhodes seemed to realize something, and his face changed.
Nikolai Griffinhardt, who seems to be the Griffonheart King who caused the fall of the Holy City in Sally's story, did not expect the ghost in front of him to be able to call out this name, it seems that he entered the treasure house in the clouds at that time, and because of the curse, he has always been trapped here.
"Do you know everything about Standwick? How did it fall? Rod thought for a moment and asked.
"Do you mean the holy city of heaven? Of course I know everything there, and I know some powerful apostles. As for the fall, I don't understand what you mean, the holy city hangs in the sky forever for pilgrims from all directions to worship. At the mention of this, the Yin Spirit instantly seemed to have confidence, and his voice became louder.
Rod took a deep look at the ghost, and when he mentioned the Holy City, the confidence and adoration on his face were not something that could be disguised, and he didn't seem to know what was going on in the Holy City at all. In other words, he was trapped in the treasure house in the clouds earlier, and there is no way to get out of it so far.
Although Rhodes didn't know why the Yin Spirit was trapped in the treasure house, even after centuries, it couldn't get out of it, but he thought it should have something to do with the treasures stored in the treasure house and the powerful curse that existed on it.
"Is the Holy War over? Have those necromancers been wiped out? The Shade asked, seemingly unaware of the time he had been trapped in the Treasure House and what was happening in the outside world.
The existence of the ghost is undoubtedly a deep warning to Rhodes, proving to him the price of greed.
"As far as I know, no." Rod shrugged and replied.
