Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dark Castle
Following behind Puskas, Night Frost looked depressed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć InfoBecause this tower is not at all the same thing as they imagined! When they came in through the dilapidated 'door', they stepped on the air and fell dozens of meters, fortunately Puskas reacted quickly and stopped everyone with a levitation technique, otherwise they would have fallen defenselessly from a height of dozens of meters, and even a high-ranking samurai would have died! When Stefano released an enhanced lighting technique, a few people saw that they were actually in a spacious lobby! Look up, what kind of tower was there just now? It's just a little spike on a castle!
"Everyone, be careful, it looks like it's quite different from what we expected!" Puskash said to Stefano, Shi Yitang, and Nightfrost as he looked into the center of the lobby, a spiraling building that spiraled downward.
Why is Night Frost here? Speaking of it, Night Frost is very melancholy! Since Shi Yitang has the physique of Night Frost and doesn't know what it is, Puskas and the others thought about it and agreed to follow her into the tower, of course, it seems to be a castle now. Originally, Puskas, Stefano and Emaar should have come in together, and Ventola was outside to take care of it, taking care of Chang Xiaolu and the others by the way. But Emaar has a new proposal.
"Alas, just a young man can go in, and follow the three of us, will he always be uncomfortable!" Emaar said, and then stuffed his piece of heavenly jade into Night Frost's hand: "Xiao Ye, you don't seem to consume much, and you are idle and idle, accompanying your daughter...... Classmates, you two young people, do you have a companion! Let's go down and have a look, I won't go down, I've never been interested in exploring or something. Just to accompany Ventola on it, saving him from being lonely!"
Nightfrost wondered why Emaar looked up at him in an old-fashioned tone...... Emaar is a strong man in the North, a whole head taller than Night Frost, and must look up. Seeing Amar's ambiguous expression, his eyes swept Shi Yitang and the night frost, with a lewd face. Night Frost was stunned for a moment, and then almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood. This Nima is really not afraid of accidents, and a few of them have decided that their relationship with Shi Yitang is not ordinary, if they let Lilith know about it...... Night Frost only felt that the head was bigger than the usual eight.
Puskash whispered in the ear of Stefano, who didn't know the situation, and Stefano suddenly realized and said loudly: "That's right, that's it, Xiaoye, you are all together, it's good to have a care together, well, or Emaar is thoughtful." As he spoke, he patted Night Frost's shoulder hard, almost slapping Night Frost halfway through. Puskas and Ventola were both laughing evilly, and Nightfrost almost didn't cry when they laughed......
But in the end, the night frost still came down, and because the explanation couldn't be explained clearly, it was better to shut up and be obedient. Second, Ventola gave a more reliable reason, the two of them have something to do outside, there is a helper, safe! This is the third, in fact, Night Frost is also a little curious! If you go down, you can take the jade of the sky with you! Although it is only for a while, it will be returned to others after going up, and Night Frost still can't stand this temptation......
But when I really came down, I found that the situation didn't seem to be different at all than expected, and Night Frost regretted it a little...... Although it seems that there is no danger so far, it is not a good thing to act differently from the plan anyway!
"Let's go down and have a look!" Stefano shook his head helplessly as he looked at the spiral downward in circles, unable to see the stairs at the bottom, "How is this always different from what was expected!" he said as he summoned a flame shield to block the front and walked down the steps. Puskash raised his eyes to look at Shi Yitang and Night Frost, Shi Yitang followed Stefano without hesitation, and Night Frost had to follow, Puskas smiled and followed at the end.
The staircase was not as deep as expected, and in a few minutes it was at the bottom, and it turned out to be an even larger hall!
Night Frost looked around in surprise, this hall was the size of four or five dozen dozen of the largest arena in the academy, and more than ten meters high. The dome is engraved with ancient and mysterious totemic runes, and it also emits a glowing light, illuminating the entire hall. The totem night frost above is not recognizable at all. In the hall, there are four more and two or three people hugging thick pillars. Straight to the dome, there are also various totems engraved on it, Ye Hanshuang identified it for a long time and found that there are some symbols in it and he has a little impression, but I still don't know what it means! In the middle of the four pillars is a large metal egg more than five meters high...... At least it looks like an egg. The egg has four rings around it. Each of the four pillars had a chain attached to the ring, and it seemed that there should have been a chain at the top that had been linked to the dome all the way, but now half of it was broken, and it was usually hung from the dome, and the other half fell to the ground.
"What is this?" Night Frost's curiosity came up, and he walked to the beater's side, and couldn't help but touch it, and a chill came over his hand, and Night Frost suddenly felt that his body was frozen and couldn't move! Fortunately, at this time, a strong force behind him pulled him back, and Stefano's voice came from his ears: "Boy, why are you so careless, and you dare to touch this kind of thing of unknown origin." It's not like that!"
Although Stefano scolded fiercely, Frost clearly felt a warm magic slowly injected into his body, forcing all the cold qi out. Night Frost shivered fiercely, and then he eased up. Puskash was circling the metal egg, cautiously observing the graphics on it. Ban Yan shook his head and said: "I don't understand, it turned out to be an ancient cuneiform script, which was not used seven or eight thousand years ago...... I only recognize a few words......"
Stefano also leaned over when he heard this, and shook his head after looking at it for a long time: "I don't understand it either, I used to study cuneiform for a while to learn a few ancient magics, but this thing is really complicated, and I also know the pronunciation of some words used to hold spells, I don't know what it means!"
Shi Yitang kept staring and didn't say much, Ye Hanshuang leaned over and gave up after a look, he didn't recognize a word. As Puskas said, this script has been abandoned for seven or eight thousand years, and no one will learn it except for specialized historical and archaeological researchers. I haven't learned all the languages required by the Night Frost homework, let alone this kind of rare text.
"Although I don't recognize cuneiform writing, there are words on this chain!" Shi Yitang said suddenly, Puskas and Stefano were slightly stunned, and they all came up, and the night frost also came up. Sure enough, as Shi Yitang said, there are also words on the chains of the link, but the words on the four chains are all different! One of them, Night Frost and Shi Yitang are very familiar, it is the text of Jiangnan in the Western Regions, although it is slightly different from the current text, but there is no difficulty in reading.
One of the other three scripts is Francisco's royal language, which belongs to the original version of the official language of Francisco that preceded it, and is more complicated and cumbersome, and Night Frost and Shi Yitang can only be seen as a general meaning. However, Stefano and Puskas were more knowledgeable, and with their backgrounds, they were fluent in the language. One of the remaining two languages is the ancient elf, Nightfrost and Shi Yitang can be a little bit, but it doesn't help much for reading, Puskas and Stefano are a little better, and they are even guessed. The last one is Bimongol, and the four of them have a good grasp of the current official language of Bimon, but this ancient language is not far from the previous official language, and it looks very awkward.
In addition to these four chains, there is also the one that was originally linked to the dome but has been broken, and the words on it have all been seen by Night Frost and the others, and they are very familiar with it, but no one understands it, because it is the language of the dragon clan!
The five chains are spoken in five languages, and although two of them are incomprehensible to more than half of the people, the two known meanings are the same. These five chains contain four extremely powerful sealing techniques. And they belong to five systems, and the purpose is to seal the contents of that egg. According to the description on that chain, the sealing power of each chain is enough to seal an incomparably powerful super-level demonic beast!
And to seal the contents of this egg, it actually used five things comparable to artifacts! And from the description on the chain, it can be seen that this kind of sealing lock is not a simple one-plus-one effect, but doubles without adding an effect! One doubles, two double, three four, four eightfold, and five is sixteen times! Sixteen times the sealing power of a super-level demonic beast, what is that seal?
"I'm afraid it's more than that......" While Night Frost and Shi Yitang were still shocked, Stefano found something else: "Look at your feet!"
Night Frost and Shi Yitang were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed their heads. It was found that the ground was centered on the metal egg, and a huge magic circle was even depicted. And those four pillars are exactly four array eyes!
"This ......" Night Frost has been studying for a long time, and I don't have a clue, the magic array is really too esoteric things, although the professor also taught it when I was studying magic theory in school, but it was purely to understand it. There are almost no people below the magician who study the magic array, anyway, there is only one thing that Night Frost knows, and that is Mo Xiaoguo. This eldest sister with thicker nerves than Vivien Li's poisonous python has an amazing talent in magic circles that is not at all like hers. But she is the only one, and the professors of the academy are just reading from the book.
"Well, I understand a little, part of this is a gathering array of the qi system, I have done some research!" Puskas, who was squatting in a corner and watching for a long time, suddenly said, obviously he was obviously not a little bit better than the night frost, and he saw a little clue, "It seems that it is also a seal type of power...... Well, that's right, the two-way extraction and transformation of the elements is reversed, and it is definitely a seal-type magic array, but I don't know what the specific effect is......"
"I can see some of it too!" Stefano pointed to the other corner of the magic array: "This is the gathering array of the fire system, and it is the same as what you said, the teacher, it is also a sealing formation!" After thinking about it, Stefano carefully observed the other corner: "It seems to be a water system over there, and it is a bit similar to the scroll made by Ventola some time ago, I and Ventola have seen some water magic arrays when we asked Professor Zhang Yunzhi about the integration of water and fire, and I should not be mistaken!"
"It seems that the other corner should be the earth system......" Puskash stood up, surprised: "Seal magic based on the four main systems...... Good boy, what a big stroke...... Well...... Four main systems...... Five types of seals...... Castle ......" Puskas's voice grew quieter and quieter, and the expression on his face became worse and worse, and he looked up at Stefano, who seemed to remember something, and looked at him with the same look of surprise.
"You mean, Dark Castle?" Shi Yitang suddenly interjected. Hearing the word Dark Castle, even Ye Hanshuang, who had been puzzled by the second monk's face, changed suddenly. No way, the Dark Castle is so famous!
The Dark Castle is not the name of a castle, but the ultimate means of sealing! a method that has now been completely lost, and only a few of its information can be known in some literature. First of all, this kind of seal requires at least four magicians above the level of the Great Magus, and the magicians of the four main systems to use it together to draw an ultimate sealing magic array, and they will pour out their magic power for it! And it needs at least four magical-level magic weapons to be used as the eyes of the sealing magic array! If this alone, it is nothing, but this seal also needs to build a castle for it! The height of the castle is required to be thirty-three meters, and the length and width are all sixty-six meters. This is not a very large castle, many noble castles far exceed this scale, but every brick and tile of the castle needs to be sealed and sealed, which is an incomparably huge thing!
Such a complicated means brings unparalleled sealing power, and it is said that this ultimate sealing method can seal the gods!
Whether the Dark Castle has ever sealed the gods or not, no one knows. There is not even a clear record in the historical documents whether the Dark Castle was ever established and used, only in mythological stories will it exist, and the objects of the seals are all the kind of otherworldly demon lords from other worlds who can destroy the entire Aegean by themselves!
The situation faced by Night Frost and the others at this time is too similar to what is recorded in the literature, a huge castle with the magic sealing power of the four main systems gathered in it, five sealing chains comparable to artifacts, and the only thing that cannot be confirmed is whether every brick and tile is engraved with magic runes!
The four of them looked at each other, and none of them dared to be sure of their own inferences, and they couldn't believe that the existence of the myth appeared in front of their eyes like this. At this moment, a strange wave of magic power emanated from the metal egg in the center of the magic array, and just feeling this magic fluctuation made Night Frost feel a chill from the bottom of his heart. A voice seemed to come from all directions.
"It's been 10,000 years, it's been 10,000 years......! Hey, hey, I'm Samuel, and I'm going to see the light of day again?"
