Chapter 58: The King's Burial Place
It was night, and the sky was full of stars, and a group of knights in black armor surrounded two cloaked men, walking towards the outside of the palace, it was the eldest princess Filia and the secret mage Lady Pamela.
A group of people walked quickly through the palace, and stopped at the gate of the palace, where there was a group of guards guarding the gate, and one of the leaders stepped forward and asked, "Who is it?" Do you want to leave the palace at such a late hour? ”
The leading guard was quite cautious, and as he approached, the hand hanging on his right hand made a secret signal to the guards behind him, signaling to be on guard, after all, the king was now unconscious in the palace, and everything must be careful.
A black-armored knight guarding the eldest princess of Filia stepped forward, and he reached out and handed out a strange sign as black as ink, which showed a surging light like water in the light of the stars in the sky.
In the center of the sign is carved an eagle with wings outstretched and a twisted snake in its mouth.
This is the most unique of the palace guards, known as the Eagle Guard, with high power, and has always been under the sole leadership of His Majesty the King, when Fillia learned from Roy that the method of absolute stability of King Elux XII's soul escape, she immediately contacted the administrator of the Eagle Guard: Karbarov.
Filia has been one of the successors of Eluseins, and if the king leaves office explicitly, Filia will become His Majesty Eluseins until the little prince comes of age.
So Eluk XII introduced Karbarov to Felia very early, paving the way for Filia to inherit the throne in the future.
After a long conversation with Karbalov, Filia was allowed to borrow the Eagle Guard's powers temporarily.
The guards guarding the palace naturally knew the sign of the Eagle Guard, and hurriedly took a step back, turned sideways, and made way out.
At the last gate of the palace, thirty horses were tied to the open space, and a small carriage, which Karbarov had prepared for Fila and his party, and the tombs of the previous kings were built on a low hill in the southeast of the city, called Fuling Mountain, and it was impossible to reach it if you walked for a night.
The Eagle Guard helped Philia and Lady Pamela into the carriage and ran quickly out of the city.
The road from Liminoxi to Fuling Mountain has been well maintained, and the carriage ran fast on it, and it didn't take long to reach the foot of Fuling Mountain.
As the burial place of the ancestors of the previous kings, Fuling Mountain has always been handled by soldiers, and at this time, seeing a group of people who were about to break into it late at night, they hurriedly surrounded a group of soldiers, and looked at the group of Eagle Guards with an unkind face.
"What kind of person actually broke into the holy land of the ancestors at night, don't you want a head?" A leading soldier shouted at the Eagle Guard.
Filia hurriedly lifted the curtain on the carriage, leaned out, and said to the guards who were gradually surrounding, "It's me, get out of the way." ”
Under the light of the torches, Filia's face was half exposed, half hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see her mood.
Seeing that it was Filia, the guard didn't say anything more and got out of the way.
The layout of Fuling Mountain is almost a straight road, and there are small sections of the main road at regular intervals, and at the end is the grave of an ancestor, and until the end, the grave of her grandfather, Ailu XI.
Philia got out of the carriage and walked briskly towards the church-like building at the end of the road, and Lady Pamela hurriedly followed, leaving only three men to look after the horses, and the rest followed Philia inside.
The tombs of each of the former kings are only the outline of the outer layer of buildings, and most of the inside is an open space, and the corresponding coffins are buried underneath, but the difference between Elu XI and Elucidation is that the house is the way it is, and there is no shortage of beds, tables and chairs, and the ornaments on the walls and tables are all ghostly and symbol-like strange words, which look a little like the things used in religion, but not the words used in any religion that Philia knows.
It was a little scary to come to such a place in the middle of the night, and Filia hurriedly asked the candle to be lit, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Passing through the parlor, a descending staircase leads to the location of the coffin of Elio XI, which was not buried in the ground like the other kings, but in the same room as he preferred, in accordance with his wishes.
Walking down the stairs, the walls on either side were densely packed with fist-sized box drawers, from which strange power emanated.
According to legend, Filia's grandfather was a lover of alchemy, and his greatest dream was to achieve the highest achievement in alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone, a legendary alchemy tool capable of completely transforming metal, converting mercury into gold, and a necessity for making immortal elixirs.
To this end, he collected all kinds of precious and strange materials in the world, and designed this kind of wall full of lattice when he died, so that he could be buried with those materials he liked after death.
In the middle of the basement was a huge coffin, the surface of which was polished and extremely smooth black wood, with layers of gold embossed with gold, and his name was written on one side of the coffin: Audengard Ayro.
"Your Highness, do you really trust Viscount Vicente so much?" Ms. Pamela said that at this time, a group of people appeared in the tomb of the former king in the middle of the night, and it felt a little awkward to think about it.
"He has no reason to lie to me, not to mention that what he said about the Black Dragon is indeed correct, I can't think of any reason why he would lie to me in this matter." Felia said.
Seeing that Filia insisted, Lady Pamela didn't say anything, and her right hand dragged up a cloud of magic energy that swirled back and forth.
Fionache's Prophecy Orb is a spell created by the interaction between the causal faction and the prophecy faction in the Esoteric Spell, which can predict the situation in the next action, if it is green for safety, yellow for unknown, and red for danger.
At this point, Fionache's prophecy ball glowed softly green, indicating that it was safe and normal, and Pamela nodded at Filia. Signal that you can get started.
A small cushion was placed in front of the coffin, and Filia knelt down, clasped her hands together, and bowed her head in thought.
Her voice was so small that even Ms. Pamela, who was now on her side, could not hear her.
After a long moment, Filia opened her eyes, and there was no movement around her, only the quiet crackling of torches.
"Your Highness, it doesn't seem to be of much use, let's go back......" said Ms. Pamela.
It was so quiet that only the burst of flames and the sound of exhalation were somewhat muffled.
Filia was obviously a little disappointed, she stretched out her hand and stood up by Pamela's arm, before she could speak, the Fionache prophecy ball in Pamela's right hand began to change from the core, and a yellow light leaked out from the core, dyeing the real prophecy ball yellow.
A black, grainy black smoke quietly peeked out of the cracks in the black coffin......
