Chapter 617: The Crown of Poisonous Fire
"Put... Open... I..."
Confined to a cage of black flames, Fanny's face was hideous and insane.
"If I hadn't stumbled upon you when I saw you again, I'm afraid I would have been deceived by you." Ignoring Medusa's struggles, Moriarty just looked calm: "It seems that no amount of conversation is just a waste of time. I'll let me discover some of the truths myself. ”
With that, Moriarty's right palm tightened slightly, and at the same time, a gray field emerged, slowly rotating with the sound of a slow spell.
In an instant, a faint flash of light flashed, and Moriarty's right hand suddenly twitched, only to see a faint shadow being pulled out of Medusa's body with the lifting of his palm. It turned out to be Fanny's soul, which was found alive from the flesh and body by Dejia's necromancy.
It's just that like a semi-demonic body, Fanny's soul also exudes a strong dark smell at this moment, and is surrounded by the power of chaos, which is obviously "polluted" for a long time.
As if sensing some kind of crisis, suddenly Medusa's dark heart swelled and was about to burst open, annihilating the body and even the soul. It's a pity that the power of the "Black Heart" is still too thin, and it was easily suppressed by the Flames of Hell.
"Okay, let me see what the truth is?"
The negative energy realm turned again, and Fanny's soul involuntarily dispersed and condensed, condensed and dispersed, like a mass of empty eraser, which was repeatedly examined. Even the most strong-willed warrior would be as shallow as a puddle of shallow water in such a state, and he would no longer be able to keep any secrets.
Silently, an endless stream of information flowed out of the twisted soul and was examined by Moriarty one by one.
Of course, most of them are about Fanny's life from childhood to adulthood, and they don't make much sense.
A fragment of a memory appears that records that Fanny learns a shocking secret by chance from a family book. Then he manages to open a hanging oil painting in the castle with his own blood, and enter a strange space hidden in it...
The details of this series of memories are constantly unfolded, carefully studied, and replayed, and Moriarty's eyes are bright and solemn.
After a few moments, all available information had been understood, and Fanny's tainted soul had thinned out.
Infuse Medusa's soul back into her body. And sealed the "black heart", Moriarty suddenly sighed softly. His gaze when he looked at the underground castle in the distance also changed, and it was a mixture of surprise, anticipation, worry, and fear, and many other emotions, and the meaning was difficult to discern.
Moriarty, however, hid Fanny, who had fallen into a deep coma, in a swampy mud puddle somewhere, and was safe for a short time.
Then he dived alone to the "crown of poisonous fire".
The underground castle is surrounded by an open space with a great view.
In order not to reveal his tracks, Moriarty first detoured to the edge of the lagoon and then dived straight in. From the waterway quietly approached the castle on the shore.
And even if he was tens of meters deep underwater, he could still sense the manic fluctuations coming from the "crown of poisonous fire" from time to time, and even at the bottom of the lake, whirlpools or undercurrents were set off from time to time, stirring chaotically.
A few minutes later, Moriarty poked out of the lake beneath the city and felt dead. Neither the high wall overhead, nor the pier on the shore, there was nothing alive in sight. At the same time, there was a strong smell of blood and rancid smell constantly blowing out of the fort with the wind. It's disgusting.
Slowly rising from the water, Moriarty's body naturally did not get wet. Then he completely breathed himself. Then the rocky city wall floated up and entered the "crown of poisonous fire".
As soon as he set foot in the city, Moriarty saw that the streets were full of mutilated corpses, lying on top of each other.
Most of them were the corpses of Medusa, all of which had been disemboweled. In particular, there is a round hole open at the mouth of the heart. Its inner lungs have disappeared, as if it has been sucked alive by external objects. As for some of the other slave-like underground dwarves or cavemen, although they all died tragically, their hearts remained intact.
From the traces of the scene, it is clear that all of these Nyunon natives were massacred en massacre at the same time. And there is the motivation and the power to achieve this. Apparently there was only a certain "roaring chieftain" who "turned slaves into masters".
Avoiding the corpses on the ground, Moriarty walked directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
There, Xuanhyuk's strong man fluctuated undisguised and wanton and arrogant. Without even getting closer, Moriarty had the illusion of a needle skull, as if he was under a dense rain of needles and had been subjected to countless thorns. Because of the full strength of the restraint, even the robe covered by it soon began to have a little needle-like hole inexplicably, as if the surrounding buildings had been pierced and the walls were damaged, and the slag powder was scattered all over the ground.
However, the appearance of the City Lord's Mansion remained intact, and it seemed that it was done "intentionally".
Walking through the unguarded front plaza, according to Ravanne's memory, Moriarty found a camouflaged secret door in the corner of the side annex. Quietly flipped through the mechanism and drilled in.
Behind the door is a lightless walkway that connects to the sewer and leads to the main building of the lord's mansion and other locations, which is a "small secret passage" that is hidden but not top secret.
I followed the passage all the way and soon came to the bottom of the main building.
Overhead, the ferocious Extreme Dao fluctuations were agitated and angry, enveloping all the upper and lower squares. There was no need to confront the "Roaring Chieftain", and Moriarty was able to simulate most of the opponent's power essence in his mind.
Sure enough, the manticore, who has only only been "half-humanized" for a short time, even if he has reached level fifteen, he still doesn't know the truth of hiding the secret of his strength, but he is afraid that others will not know about it, and he will burst out with all his strength, which can be described as unwise.
"It's not that I can't take it, but it's still a little harder..."
Looking up for a moment, Moriarty already knew the bottom of his mind.
Then go up a narrow stone staircase and go through the dungeon to the interior of the main building.
As he passed through his cell, Moriarty saw that his bones were scattered and filthy. Even more than the corpses in the outside world, almost all of them were torn into pieces or pinched into scraps, showing the anger and anger of the vandals at that time.
But the strange thing is that in front of a stone wall, there are more than a dozen complete Medusa heads that are stacked together to form a "decorative wall".
At a glance, all the heads are "perfect" with the frightened faces of the moment before death, and their expressions are full of distortion and fear, similar to some kind of alternative commemorative picture.
"What a hate!"
Moriarty paused, discerning the tragically dead Medusa one by one.
According to Fanny's memory, most of them belonged to the same family, and most of them were related to each other or by marriage.
However, none of the skulls have found Fanny's sister, and it seems likely that the "lucky one" is still alive. (To be continued......)
