Chapter 204: The Forgotten Prison
Everyone expressed surprise and curiosity, and the same was true of the green dragon Takuralk, a witty dragon who had never approached dangerous places since he had grown, which allowed him to survive from the chaotic era to the present, but if he accidentally met Shepard, he could only be considered unlucky.
It didn't take much time for the ship to rest, it was really just for the sailors to clean up and repair some of the damaged areas in the wind and waves, fresh water and food were plentiful, and there was no place to buy them near the docks of Candlefort.
However, an hour later, the sky that had been raining suddenly became gloomy, but after a while, the rain fell heavily, and Shepard, who had been watching the sky, smiled on his face, and then asked everyone to hide in the cabin to avoid the rain as usual.
The wind and waves were high, the rain was getting heavier, and the dreary sky darkened the vision, and Shepard walked to the edge of the ship, jumped to the shore, and then the sky avoided the sight of the guards at the Candlekeep on the docks, and felt in the opposite direction to the magic watchtower.
Bang!
The thunder rumbled, but there was no lightning, and the weather made the guards scold and hide in the house, Shepard walked more easily, and before the raindrops of beans fell on his body, he was blocked by the shield, and he walked to a reef by the sea.
The god's vision would not be blocked by the rain, and he found the dark cave in the hidden position because of the spray of the waves that crashed into it, and strolled to the front of the cave, and with a slight bow, he entered the secret cave mouth that was about the height of a person.
The dark cave was like the sun in front of him, and the further he went, the higher and wider he would find that the passage was getting higher and wider, and after walking out for hundreds of meters, the passage came to an end, and what appeared in front of him was countless dark and dry ancient cells.
The slight wind blew from all sides, and it was obvious that this prison had communicated with the outside world in some invisible corners, but what was even more surprising was why there was such an amazing ancient prison under the Candle Castle, especially the thick dust accumulated on the ground, and the traces left by time made everything seem to have been sleeping in history for a long time, obviously since some time, this place has been forgotten by the world.
"The underground prison of Candlefort...... Ha, below the holy land of the god of knowledge is the largest and deepest prison in the whole continent, but there is a powerful magic power on the ground that cannot be reached in the old continent, although the goddess of magic controls the magic net, but in terms of terrifying power, the goddess of Silvermoon City Tallinn is not comparable to here. ”
The soft deerskin boots stepped silently on the ground, no footsteps, no dust raised, as if no one had come here, but the ghosts of the underworld had floated by.
As the visitor approached, at the entrance of the prison, the white miserable light illuminated the shape of the soul, and the dead who remained in the world were tall and beautiful, although only the soul remained, they could still see the appearance before birth, the wide wings, the bone spurs that extended from the top of the head to the tail, and the lines that still looked strong......
This is not a human soul, this is a dragon's soul.
"Silver Dragon Guard......" Shepard didn't move, and chuckled, even if he hadn't done that mission in Candle Castle in his previous life, he could distinguish the type of dragon from his appearance, and it was not difficult to recognize that this was an undead transformed by a silver dragon soul.
The silver dragon is the second strongest among the metal dragons, but the power is the first, because the golden dragon is too rare, and the silver dragon's natural proximity to order and goodness makes them rarely hunted by intelligent life, and the ancient prison below the candle castle is actually guarded by the undead spirit of a silver dragon, once it spreads, it will cause a serious blow to the reputation of the candle castle.
“…… Visitors do not carry a Watchdog badge...... Not carrying the interrogator badge...... Not carrying the executioner's badge...... Visitor, your identity is unknown, no entry, please turn around and leave immediately, or in twenty seconds, I will start attacking. ”
The tall silver dragon soul lowered its head, and Bai Sensen's eyes looked at Shepard blankly, and every word was rigid and stiff, not at all like any high-level undead who had their own sanity, but like an alchemy creation that had been entered into a set program and acted according to instructions at a glance.
The faint white light of the undead was even more terrifying in the darkness, but for Shepard, the undead happened to be the trouble he cared about the most, and with a flip of his hand, he took out a hard stone that seemed to have congealed blood from the half-plane, and the next moment the stone appeared, the sight of the silver dragon undead seemed to fall on the stone.
The air suddenly fell silent until the undead roared silently, although the loss of his body made him no longer able to let out the roar that made ordinary life collapse on the spot, and also lost the innate majesty that shocked everything, but the terrifying aura of the undead creature was even more powerful on the fallen silver dragon, enough to deter the domineering burst of power of all non-epic professions, enveloping the entire prison entrance for hundreds of meters.
However, all this is like a breeze blowing on his face for Shepard, he snorted coldly, and the domineering soul aura that is stronger than Long Wei suddenly came, this is the majesty that transcends the difference between the high and low levels of the food chain, its difference is not strength and size, but the transcendence of essence, divine grace is like the sea, divine power is like hell, this is the power of the true god, mortals can't even face the nature of the gods.
The sudden descent of divine power immediately dispersed the terrifying aura of the undead dragon, the silver dragon wailed, and the tall body that was several times taller than Shepard's doppelganger fell down with a bang, and the semi-ghostly silver dragon soul was not completely separated from the material world, and immediately shook up the dust as dense as a sand waterfall, and the vibration sound spread even farther, resounding in the underground prison.
Fortunately, this prison is deep underground, even if this shock is transmitted to the ground, it will not be cared about by the people in Candle Castle, and the magic power and magic enchantment of Candle Castle itself will also block the power of divine power and fear aura that have weakened countless times through the layers of soil, unless the manager of Candle Castle [Scroll Guardian] suddenly uses top-level prophecy to find out if there are any secrets under Candle Castle, no one will be able to discover everything here.
Spells above the nine rings are qualified to be called top-notch, and releasing such spells is a matter of labor and money, and the guardian will use the most precious prophecy spells of the eight major factions for this kind of thing unless he is stupid.
If the silver dragon is still alive, then it will definitely not be so bad, although Shenwei is more terrifying than Longwei, but it will not let any dragon be easily subdued, the dragon is not only powerful in soul and magic, but also in their naturally strong body.
But the silver dragon with only the soul left is nothing more than a powerful undead, completely incomprehensible existence in the eyes of beings below the transcendent life, but in front of the gods, it can only be easily obliterated or submitted.
However, the undead dragon did not give up easily, the power of death condensed in his body, the dragon's mouth opened, and the cold and silent death dragon breath sprayed towards Shepard, the distance between the dragon head and the latter was only a dozen meters, and almost in the blink of an eye, the death power enveloped the other party.
A torrent of dead power rushed by, leaving only the unscathed Shepard in its place, and he didn't even need to rely on the power of his own body, relying only on the shield of his transcendent divine power to block the silver dragon's rebellious attack.
"Light!"
Shepard snorted softly, the warm and not dazzling light suddenly descended, everywhere, everywhere, the whole ancient prison suddenly lit up, delicate, every corner was clearly illuminated, one by one, mutilated or complete bones lying quietly in their respective prisons, these bones of different sizes and shapes are obviously from different races, most of them have been buried by dust and decay, and a very small number of things that have been accompanied by life, the white light sweeps, and occasionally a few reflections light up, fleeting.
Shepard glanced at it, wrote down the reflective place, and turned his head to look at the undead silver dragon, the ubiquitous light was not ordinary light, everything in the body of the soul transformed undead was invisible in this light, the changing form, the entangled and lingering power of death, and the jumping soul fire burned quietly at the root of the dragon's tail, which was his essence and the basis of existence, but it was really surprising that the existence that transformed the silver dragon into an undead soul would put the soul fire in such a position.
Shepard was bored by the process of an adult beating a child, and he stretched out his hand, as if an invisible hand had coalesced, and grabbed the undead body's body open, grabbed the soul fire out of the hand, opened a portal, and threw the soul fire of the undead dragon along with the pale bloodstone.
The faint barking of dogs came from the other end, and the breath of death showed that the other end was the underworld, and the person responsible for receiving the undead was naturally Apche as a Shepard god, he had the priesthood of the realm of death, and the soul of this silver dragon had long lost its memory and priesthood, just like a marionette that pulled the strings, it was better to leave it to Apche to arrange.
The silver dragon disappeared, and the residual aura of death still needed to slowly dissipate, but Shepard naturally would not be affected by this residual death power, he found a flat and clean place, took out some strange things from the half-plane, and spliced them together in place.
Twenty minutes later, when Shepard cautiously put the last piece tightly together, there was already a magic array several meters long and wide in front of him, and the prepared gem powder was sprinkled out of his pocket little by little, and as the magic array was activated by the magic power, the invisible connection was transmitted to a place in the distant Prell Collar.
After a while, the magic array has been fused with the ground, it looks like the magic array is originally engraved on the ground, and the precise patterns are also connected to the fracture completely, and there is no error or fracture in any tiny place.
"Magical Techniques of the Ancient Empire...... There are still merits. Shepard exclaimed, the fluctuation of mana power was generated from the magic array, this fluctuation continued and continued to increase, the light of magic power lit up the magic array, and the half-truth and half-false illusory light took on a thousand strange colors and shapes on the magic array.
The magic fluctuations gradually touched the stability of the space, extending to distant places, and the purple-black portal quietly opened, growing larger and larger in the flickering of magic and the rotation of the magic vortex, and in a trance, it became a wonderful scene more than one person high, four or five people wide, shrouded in the light and dazzling colors of magic power.
The slender and white fingers poked out first, and with a crisp snap of the fingers, as if receiving some kind of signal, the owner of the white palm rushed forward, walked out of the portal, and stood in front of Shepard pretty.
This is a beautiful woman who looks very noble and generous, her black hair is soft and shiny and scattered over her shoulders, her slender and perfect neck gives her a special temperament, and her delicate facial features seem to have been carefully carved by the most excellent craftsmen, and although she is wearing a mage robe that covers her whole body, she can still see the graceful figure that is bulging, especially the slender legs looming when the hem of the split robe sways.
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" The extremely beautiful lady recovered from the trance of teleportation, and looked at Shepard smiling and was about to speak, but she was caught off guard by the dust in the air and coughed again and again, and hurriedly hung a few small spells on herself, only then she breathed a sigh of relief, and said generously: "Thank you, Your Excellency, since you have activated the combined teleportation array, you must have found the place I need." ”
Shepard motioned with his hand to the female mage to look around, "Lady Ifia, what do you think of this place?" ”
Ifia blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked around carefully, the dark and gloomy ancient prison did not affect her in the slightest, but she was very happy and said, "Great place! Quiet, secluded, forgotten place, it's just ......"
She raised her head suddenly, only to hear Shepard say leisurely beside her: "Madam, the place where you are now is the ancient dungeon located below the Candle Castle, and about thirty meters above you is the Holy Land of the God of Knowledge, one of the strongest neutral organizations in the Old World, the Candle Castle. ”
Iffia's small mouth opened slightly, her bright red lips were particularly seductive under the illumination she had casually lit, and a pleasant and surprised voice floated out like a beautiful note: "Candle Castle! This is actually the underground of Candle Castle? Arcane is on top, Lord Count, you're amazing, I've never heard of any hidden dungeons in Candlekeep! ”
"This place has been forgotten for a long time...... Shepard said with some emotion, and at the same time remembered the ancient history that he found in the game's many bookcases: "In the Old World, Candle Keep has been a name that cannot be ignored since the day it was founded, it is one of the most magical places in the Old World, and even without the legendary guardians who have ruled it for generations, Candle Keep is an extremely powerful existence. ”
"Seven hundred years ago, the epic iridescent dragon Dora Buffik wanted to plunder the knowledge of the Candle Castle collection, but he let go of all the Nine Ring spells he mastered, and he failed to break the defensive barrier of the Candle Castle, so he could only retreat on his own."
"At the end of the Age of Chaos, the goddess of the night, Shar, wants to extract the power of the Candle Keep and the Mystronor Locks to become a being beyond the gods! She almost made it......"
"It's a pity that no one knows the specific situation now, I have turned over a lot of records, and I only know that His Royal Highness Ilminster was seriously injured, and it took decades before it appeared, Lady Serin Snow fell, the Lord of the Shadow City fell, Lalocke, the elect of the goddess of magic also fell, and the Shadow City, the last floating city with descendants of the ancient magic empire that could operate, also crashed, and now hundreds of years have passed, and even the wreckage cannot be found in the waves."
