Chapter 1000: Immortality
Turning back to the key in the wooden box, Donald's gaze couldn't help but reveal a little eagerness, The thirty-six magic towers in Sky City were originally all owned by the Sanctuary powerhouses among the High Elves, and there must be a large number of incomparably precious treasures among them.
What's more, Archbishop Martin also said that these thirty-six sets of keys are only a part, so are there more keys that can open the other gates of Sky City? Of course, there is another point, the magic thousand machine locks can not be opened with a key, and each lock has a special set of opening techniques. However, Archbishop Martin must have mastered these lock-picking techniques, otherwise these keys would be just waste, and there would be no need to take them out at all.
With the guidance of the castle in the sky, and these keys that can properly open various gates, the rewards of this exploration are bound to reach an incomparably amazing level. Even Lordaeron, who had not experienced the scourge of war, had inherited the wealth of countless dark ages, but it could not be compared to the treasures of the Immortal King.
Archbishop Martin and Donald have come up with something that is enough to reflect their value, whether it is the structure of the castle in the sky, or the key that can open the locks of a thousand magic machines, which are of great value to this exploration action. At this time, both of them looked at Lin Li, waiting for Lin Li to take out his own things.
In fact, whether it is the structure diagram or those keys, it really doesn't have much meaning for Lin Li. Although after coming to Sky City, the control magic crystal in Lin Li's hand seemed to be blocked by a force, it did not prevent him from having a general understanding of the structure of Sky City, and I am afraid that it was clearer than that structure diagram. And those magic thousand machine locks, under the control of the magic crystal, the magic thousand machine locks that were so complicated in the central tower were all opened, not to mention other places.
However, now, it is not the time to take out the control of the magic crystal, Lin Li is still counting on the people of the Temple of Light and Lordaeron to be cannon fodder for himself. Once the information about the control of the magic crystal is revealed, everyone knows that he will be the master of Sky City, and who will be willing to die for him.
However, even if he didn't mention the matter of controlling the magic crystal, Lin Li was not without other valuable information. One of the most important reasons why the people of the Temple of Light and Lordaeron came here to talk about cooperation with Lin Li was that he had the experience of exploring Sky City. Experience may seem like a very vague and unreal thing, but no one can ignore the role of experience.
Lin Li did not have any reservations about these experiences, but told everyone present in detail about his original exploration of Sky City. The only thing that was left was probably about the star fragments, and that didn't affect the description of the whole thing.
Lin Li is not worried, after introducing the experience without reservation, he will lose his value in the other party's heart. The more unreserved you are, the more you listen to the other person's ears, but the more you feel that you have retained something important, and people like to push themselves and others like this. Lin Li did retain the important thing, that is, the Sky City controlled the magic crystal, but in terms of exploration experience, there was really nothing worth keeping.
In the end, Lin Li talked about the ghost, and this was actually what the others were most concerned about. The team of the Temple of Light and Lordaeron, who came a few days before the Tower of Dusk, had been on the edge of Sky City. It was because they could faintly feel that in addition to the magic traps in this city in the sky, there were probably guardians, and the appearance of those physical resentful spirits was an omen.
If there are physical wraiths, are there more advanced guardians? In fact, in almost all the large-scale High Elf ruins, the existence of guardians is indispensable, and this sky city will be an exception, they dare not gamble with their own lives. After all, the former owner of this sky city was the Immortal King, and in many myths and legends, the Immortal King's subordinates also had a group of quite perverted powerhouses.
However, when they heard Lin Li say that it was only a ghost at the peak of the legend that forced them to leave Sky City in the end, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A confident smile appeared on Donald's face, and he said in a very relaxed tone: "It turns out that it's just a ghost at the peak of legend, although that undead heaven is more of a headache, but with friends from the Temple of Light, I believe it is not so difficult to clean it up." ”
Although Archbishop Martin didn't say anything, the expression on his face was also quite relaxed, and the people in the Temple of Light were the last thing they were afraid of were undead creatures. It is no exaggeration to say that with the powerful purifying power of the Holy Light, the people of the Temple of Light are enough to deal with ten times as many undead creatures at the same level.
However, Lin Li shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Legendary Peak, that is just the strength of that ghost when we left. ”
"What's the problem, it's only been a few years now, and the guardians in the High Elf Ruins are often not improving, but a gradual downward trend. If it is a few years later, maybe the strength of that ghost may fall to the legendary realm. Donald said assumedly.
In fact, Donald's idea cannot be said to be wrong, this should be regarded as a common sense thing. Time is a ruthless pig-killing knife, no matter how powerful the ruin guardian is, as the years go by, it will gradually grow old and decay, and gradually lose its powerful power.
The current era is not very far from the demise of the High Elves, more than 1,300 years, if it is 13,000 years, if it is 13,000 years, there will be no danger if these ruins are not good, not only the ruins guardians will decay, but those magic traps will lose their effect.
"President Ferry, that's true, maybe that ghost's original strength was at the level of the Sanctuary, and after these thousands of years, it fell to the peak of the legend, and this kind of thing is actually very common in the exploration of ruins." Archbishop Martin also echoed Donald's words. Moreover, this is the Sky City of the Immortal King, and the strength of the legendary peak may be very strong outside, but it seems that being the guardian here is not qualified enough. Then the biggest possibility is that the strength of that ghost fell from the Sacred Realm realm.
"Archbishop Martin can take a look at this, especially the thirty-six towers, I think with your knowledge, you should be able to recognize them." Lin Li didn't refute them directly, but took a drawing and handed it to Archbishop Martin, which was actually a copy of the one he had obtained from the Death Scars.
Archbishop Martin took the drawings, and under the prompting of Lin Li, carefully looked at the locations of the thirty-six towers, as well as the streets connected between the towers. After a while, his eyes, which were originally narrowed into slits, suddenly glared at the boss, as if he had seen something very terrifying, and shouted in a lost voice: "This, is it a psychic array!" ”
Necromancers have always been the purification objects of the Temple of Light, and Martin, as the archbishop of the Temple of Light, is naturally very clear about the methods of necromancers. Originally, he didn't think about the blueprint of the sky city in his hand, but under Lin Li's reminder, from the layout of the thirty-six magic towers, he quickly saw the shadow of the psychic array. This is also because he doesn't know the existence of the Conquest Demon Pattern, but it is easier to see the psychic array.
"Psychic array! It was terrifying to have such a huge psychic array arranged on the basis of the entire Sky City! "Although Archbishop Martin has also experienced a lot of storms and waves, and has seen a lot of knowledge, but seeing the psychic array formed by these thirty-six magic towers, his mood has become difficult to calm down for a while.
Hearing Archbishop Martin's exclamation, Donald and Prince Jereme, who had been silent, couldn't help but change color abruptly. They thought of those physical wraiths, no wonder the lowest-level undead creatures of the wraiths were able to break through the legendary level instead of perishing with the passing of time.
However, Donald quickly thought of another question, looked at Lin Li with a frown, and said, "President Ferrey, this seems to be a little unreasonable, since there is such a powerful psychic array, how can the strength of that ghost be only the peak of the legend." ”
Indeed, according to the average person's thoughts, as the guardian of the ruins, his own strength should be very strong, especially here, the peak of the legend is estimated to be not qualified. However, if that ghost itself is a Sanctuary-level strength, with the help of such a powerful psychic array, not only will the strength not decrease, but will continue to improve, and it is possible to not be at the peak of the Sanctuary.
"That ghost is not the original guardian here, but the Great Lord Osric placed here later." Lin Li threw out a shocking news again.
This news is even more shocking than the psychic array, and the Great Lord Osric is another mythical figure after the Immortal King. And in people's impressions, he is a more brutal, more perverted, and more terrifying being than the Immortal King.
For a while, the tent became silent, and everyone was shocked by the news, and even their breathing involuntarily lightened a lot.
However, a moment later, a sneer broke the silence in the tent, and Donald's face quickly returned to normal, and he said in a somewhat disdainful tone, "President Ferrey, this news is a bit too shocking, why did Osric put a ghost here?" ”
Obviously, Donald didn't believe Lin Li's news, although Osric died a little inexplicably, he was also a powerful existence at the peak of the Sanctuary at the beginning. Even if there is a psychic array in this sky city, and the ghost is placed here, cultivated with the help of the power of the psychic array, what is the point of a powerhouse at the peak of the holy realm.
And under Donald's reminder, Archbishop Martin's eyes couldn't help but show a little suspicion, although he believed in Lin Li's personality from the bottom of his heart, but this news was indeed a little inexplicable.
Regarding Donald's suspicion, Lin Li was not angry, but smiled indifferently and said, "The reason is very simple, in order to pursue the so-called immortality. ”
"Quest for immortality?" This sentence made Archbishop Martin and Donald even more puzzled, what does the pursuit of immortality have to do with ghosts.
"As far as I know, Osric created this ghost with 100,000 human souls, and it is likely that he incorporated his own soul imprint into the ghost. Cultivating this ghost with the help of the psychic array here is tantamount to cultivating his own soul. And in his mausoleum, he also created a perfect body for himself, once this ghost reaches the peak of the sacred realm, and then merges with the perfect body, it will be very likely to take that last step and achieve true immortality. ”
Of course, just saying this speculation was not enough to win people's trust, and Lin Li then threw out another thing, a few pages of notes from Osric recording his own assumption. These pages of notes were originally placed in a crystal coffin, and since they had nothing to do with magical knowledge, they were not handed over to the Supreme Council.
Although in the notes, Osric did not write about the relationship between his soul imprint and this ghost, and did not even mention this ghost at all, but to a large extent, it also proved Lin Li's previous speculation.
"In that case, we might be confronting Osric's soul?" After reading the notes, although the few people present could not say that their doubts were eliminated, they also believed Lin Li's speculation a little.
However, when you think about it, it is really terrifying. Osric himself is a powerhouse at the peak of the Sanctuary, and after his soul brand is fused with the ghost, it is equivalent to making the ghost have reached the peak of the Sanctuary in the realm, and all that is needed is to continuously absorb a large amount of magic power.
And this city in the sky, known as the most powerful of the seven cities in the sky, is the most inexhaustible magic. Although, it has only been two or three years since Lin Li's last exploration, but the ghost at that time was the peak of the legend, so now nine out of ten have already stepped into the realm of the holy realm.
However, since the team of the Temple of Light and Lordaeron dared to explore the Immortal King's Sky City, they naturally had something to rely on in their hands. Originally, they were ready to fight the possible ruin guardians, but now the ruin guardians have just turned into a ghost. They didn't believe that in just two or three years, that ghost could really reach the peak of the Holy Domain. If that's the case, I'm afraid the ghost would have already made a move when he and the others set foot here.
After exchanging information with each other, the relationship of cooperation was finally determined. In fact, it was mainly a matter of Lordaeron and the Tower of Dusk, and even if Lin Li didn't provide any useful information from the Temple of Light, he would definitely have to cooperate.
