Chapter 146: Frank's True Face
In the dark dungeon, Lance and a man in a black cloak descend the spiral stone steps.
"Do you keep Her Royal Highness in such a place?" Frank asked, disgruntled in his tone.
"You'll see her later, and you'll know why I'm keeping her here."
Going down the stairs, there was a faint sound of metal clashing at the end, and when Frank saw Alyssa, his face under the cloak suddenly darkened.
"You did this?" Frank's voice was cold, and there was a hint of murderous intent in it.
Alyssa in front of her was tied to a soft bed with thin iron chains, her dull hair was spread under her, her empty eyes had no trace of figure, her skin was white and dry, her body was as thin as wood, and she had long since lost her original beauty at a glance.
"I didn't do it, this is the curse that Her Highness Alisa fell on from the beginning, I have tried my best to delay the necrosis of her body as much as possible, but it doesn't seem to have much effect."
As he spoke, Lance gently pressed his fingers on Alyssa's arm, and Alyssa's skin sunken slightly, and then slowly returned to normal.
"You see, her body has become like this, if it is a normal person, the elasticity of the skin will not be so bad, and you see Alyssa's skin, although it is not saggy, but it does not look like a living person, to put it bluntly, it is completely like a dead person. And the heartbeat is also very weak, if you don't believe it, you can check it yourself, about a minute to skip it, if it's a normal person, it's definitely dead. ”
Frank stepped forward slowly, lightly tapping his index finger on Alyssa's forehead, and a faint golden halo lit up from his fingertips, and slowly disappeared after a while.
"I don't know what it is." Frank didn't find out anything.
He handed the Eye of Basil to Lance, and with a flick of his finger a magical chain bound the Eye of Basil.
"The chain will open on its own in an hour, and then it will be yours."
Lance smiled slightly, he smiled happily, he understood what the other party meant, if he could use the Eye of Basil now, then it would be quite troublesome for him to temporarily reverse the other party.
"You can take the princess with you."
Frank didn't chant any incantations, and a line of fire appeared on the ground under his feet, and the lines of fire quickly intertwined back and forth, and in an instant, a magic circle formed, including Alyssa and himself.
"Go first." As soon as Frank finished speaking, the other party disappeared directly in place with Alyssa, and he didn't know where he went.
By the time Frank reappeared, he had appeared in an unknown hall, this hall was very strange, circular, and the most central altar began to have tracks outward, and the tracks were installed with curved tracks, and those bookshelves moved slowly on the tracks, and countless bookshelves shuttled back and forth at a glance, like a labyrinth of bookshelves made of walls.
And the central altar is concave in the middle, and inside is a transparent liquid, these liquids emit white light, like life volatilizing white mist, it is a liquid made of the purest magic liquefaction, it can also be called a magic dissolver, but compared to the magic dissolving agent in the mouth of those mages, it dissolves the purest magic power that does not contain any elements, and uses the most precious solvent.
"Master, are you back?"
An old man with a slumped back came in through the gap in the bookshelf, and although he looked old, he was very well-dressed, and there was no trace of the old man's dullness at all.
"Hmm."
Frank said as he unbuttoned his cloak, revealing his true colors.
He couldn't be said to be old, because he was older than the old man, like an old human who had crossed the threshold of death and continued to exist in the world, which was very much in line with his voice.
He is very thin, even much thinner than the current Alyssa, his cheeks are sunken and his cheekbones are very prominent, the skin is like a layer of paper stuck to his forehead, the forehead angle is very obvious, there is no hair on the top of his head, and his eyes have no pupils, and the whole eyeball just emits blue light, which looks very weird.
Gently removing Alyssa's clothes, Frank carefully placed the other party into the fountain, and then slowly took a step back.
There was not a hint of emotion in his eyes.
"Master, is that Princess Alyssa?" The old butler cautiously asked, "Why do I feel the evil aura in the princess?" ”
Faced with the other party's doubts, Frank shook his head.
Although the Holy See had long said that Alyssa was impregnated with black magic, he had never believed it, and now he finally believed it, but the reason was completely unknown.
"The bloodline of the royal family must continue, and I can't leave it alone." Frank muttered to himself, and then he turned to look at the old butler and said, "Prepare to teleport the magic circle, I want to go to the Witch Tower." ”
……
Outside the ruins of the imperial capital, Felik finally waited for Claudia to come out.
Claudia came out with her face tightly covered, and only her exposed arms showed that she was badly corroded by the miasma, but the injury quickly recovered, and it was only then that she lifted her cloak slightly, revealing her face.
"I didn't find anything, only these things, see for yourself."
After saying that, Claudia trembled, and the magic props that fell to the ground under her feet, most of which were rings, it seemed that Lance had a soft spot for the Lord of the Rings.
"It's a shame."
Felik leaned over to pick up the things and put them in his pockets one by one, this time he didn't find any clues about Elisa, and he was a little anxious, and Felik shuddered at the thought that Alyssa might have become half a corpse.
Claudia glanced at Felik and said, "Don't worry, your princess didn't die once, did you?" Didn't you also die at my hands, you didn't die last time you became like that, I don't think she would die so easily, even if her body is shattered, I will use my blood to reshape her with my blood, isn't that okay? ”
"Claudia, I'm not in the same situation as Alyssa, I can't die, she will die."
Claudie asked rhetorically, "Why?" ”
"Because of the soul."
What Felik said made Claudia inexplicable, but she didn't delve into it, but just changed her words: "This matter is not urgent, it is said that Alyssa is the darling of God, if there is really a god of light, she will not abandon it." ”
On this long trip, Felik lost a clue to find Alyssa on the last day, and his only hope fell on a deal with Lance.
