XXXVI. The City of Ghosts
A storm rolled up.
The fog of death, the shadow of death, the dead man, the stone of death, converged into this magnificent black whirlwind, and I felt as if I was bound in chains, pulling me upward, and in the storm stretched out my pale hand, as if to tear my flesh to pieces.
I couldn't swing my sword, I couldn't resist, but I couldn't help myself. I only had Lamia in my mind, and I tried to swing my limbs and adjust to a swimming position, but there was a sharp pain in my mind, as if doing so would only make me hurt worse.
The storm was caused by Norris, and it must have been. He's been cheating on Tifeng, cheating on us, he's been in Wenling's body all along, turning into that ugly sarcoma, making us think it's just a little trick.
He wanted everything Augustus was looking for, he wanted the legacy of Cappadocia, and he was convinced that he too could be the god of death. As soon as he had gathered the three Sealing Stones, he turned them on and summoned this hurricane of death.
Norris will get his wish, I will kill this traitor, he may not die as a god, but he will at least die.
At this moment, a pair of hands grabbed my arm, and I was taken aback, and I was relieved to see that it was a waste clock.
I shouted, "I can't move!" "As soon as I opened my mouth, the wind like a knife cut my mouth full of blood.
The Waste Bell made a gesture to signal that he could move in the wind, and he wrote two words in blood: "Death." ”
What does he mean? Death? Is it only the dead who can move freely in this wind? Because he is a living corpse, this wind is not in a hurry to tear him to pieces?
I feel that the tearing feeling of the wind has increased, and I can only use You Sakura and Tielian to strengthen my physique, otherwise I will be dismantled. The waste bell swam away, and after a while, a corpse was brought in and motioned for me to hold it. I hugged the body, and all of a sudden, the wind was much quieter, and I felt like I was hiding behind a boulder.
I was so overjoyed that I couldn't help but kiss the corpse, and with the wind blowing, the corpse's head turned, uh, it's disgusting, sorry I recognized the wrong person.
I tried to shout: "Waste the clock, and then what?" Where's Lamia? ”
Lamia said, "Here I am! ”
The Waste Bell also gave her a corpse.
I said, "When will this storm stop?" ”
Lamia said, "I don't know! ”
I asked, "Are we going to hell?" ”
"Hell can't get worse than here," Lamia said. ”
That's a frustrating statement.
I tried to release my shadow and connect with Lamia, we approached, held each other's hands, and Lamia said, "Do you feel better?" ”
I said, "I'm alright, what about you?" ”
Lamia asked, "Me too, why are you still laughing?" ”
I laughed and said, "You should ask me why I'm getting better so quickly." ”
Lamia kicked me, and I said urgently: "You still have the mind to fight at this juncture?" ”
She shouted: "That's right, you still have the heart to play at this juncture?" ”
I said, "Can't you even joke about your wife?" ”
She said, "Would you please go and die?" ”
I don't know if she was right or not, but the storm stopped in an instant, and we rolled on the ground several times, and I tried to protect Lamia as I landed, but she thought I had something else to do and bit my hand hard. It's really unreasonable, even if I feel the wrong place in the panic, so what?
Lamia covered her mouth and nose and spat out a mouthful of turbid blood, and I was nervous and asked, "Why did you vomit blood?" Immediately afterward, I spit out.
The air here seems to be highly poisonous, and if it weren't for our unordinary physique, we would be afraid that we would not be able to escape death.
It seems to have been hundreds of years, thousands of years without fresh air, and it smells like a mass grave.
Lamia said, "My lungs have a purifying function, what about you?" ”
I replied, "This poison doesn't kill me, I ordered the poison resistance talent." ”
Lamia smiled reassuringly and said, "You are a ghost. ”
We are in a huge cave with stone walls carved into niches, artificially dug ditches and round holes in the ground, and stone chambers with stone beds, stone tables, and stone chairs.
It dawned on me that this was Kaimakle, the burial place of a thousand ancient vampires of Cappadocia.
I was so cold in my heart that I was busy protecting Lamia, and Lamia asked, "What the hell is going on?" Why did Norris bring me here? ”
Tifeng's voice suddenly sounded: "He has been lying to us. ”
I saw Tiphon and Chris walking towards us, each drinking a bag of blood, unharmed, but their proud expensive clothes were ruined, but they were too thick to see anything.
The reality is really cruel, if it was some kind of movie or entertainment product of the last century, they should have no clothes to wear by now, and they have to shyly ask me for clothes to cover their bodies.
We're at stake, what the hell am I thinking?
Lamia asked, "I don't know what happened. ”
I said, "This is the Underground City of Kaimakle." ”
Timphon and Chris both looked surprised, and Chris said, "I've heard of this place, it's said to be buried in the Cappadocia mountains, and we're in Europe now?" ”
Ti Feng said, "Fishbone, you may be the one who hears the truth the most among us, and we talk as we go. ”
I asked, "Do you know where to go?" ”
Ti Feng said: "When I brought Wen Ling with a marmot, I stained my demon blood on Wen Ling, Norris thought that he could get rid of me, but that was completely wrong, this despicable rat, I will make him feel that death is really merciful compared to my cruelty." ”
Her words sent chills down my shoulders.
Soon after, we encountered the waste clock again, and I hurriedly helped him up, and it was he who saved everyone. The Dead Bell is not in good spirits, and as a living corpse, he feels the extreme blasphemy and evil aura of this place.
I told them about Ambrosa's conversation with Malacheni, and sorted out the clues by the way.
Cappadocia really wanted to become the god of death, and in order to fulfill his wish, he secretly gathered a large number of blood clans here, buried and sealed them. But he did not harm important people such as Malacheni, and I don't know if he still has a conscience.
Ambrosa knew this, believing that Cappadocia was enchanted, and that Cappadocia's move had not only failed to do so, but had greatly weakened him, so he advised Augustus to rebel, and they attacked Cappadocia's lair, and Augustus devoured part of Cappadocia's soul and killed him completely.
During the attack, Ambrosa did not tell Augustus the secret of the underground city of Caimakle, nor did he try to enter it at all, but for some reason he has changed his mind now.
Among the Cappadocia is Lorenzo, a friend of Ambrosa's, who entrusts Ambrosa with saving the Pale Lady Malacheni when Ambrosa kills Lorenzo.
So, after killing Cappadocia, Ambrosa, along with Norris, rushed to the secret chapel where the wedding was held, claiming that he was too weak to stop the rest of his compatriots present, so he could only fool himself and use the soul weapon to make Malaceni survive and be reborn as a skeleton bride in the last days hundreds of years later.
The Giovanni family of Augustus eventually won the approval of the Bloodlines and became the top power among the Bloodlines before the end of the world. For a hundred years, they pursued and killed the remnants of Cappadocia, eventually exterminating them.
The Bloodline Leader eventually heard about Cappadocia's rumors about the Sealing Stone, and he assumed that Cappadocia's profound wisdom might have discovered a mysterious power beyond imagination, and he wanted to take it for himself. Norris, as the son of Augustus, also inherited this ambition from him.
However, Augustus did not expect that Tiphon would be able to kill him, he suffered the same fate as Cappadocia, and his ambitions and aspirations were finally wiped out.
Tiphon looked displeased, and she said, "So, the secret of the Sealing Stone is not the way to become a god at all?" Is this just the tomb of the self-destructing Great Wall of Cappadocia? ”
I said, "If Ambrosa is not lying, it is." ”
"So, Norris was completely mistaken? Even if he obtained the Sealing Stone, he would never be able to obtain Divine Revelation. ”
I replied, "That's what Ambrosa said, but why is he in such a hurry to collect the Seal Stone?" ”
Chris said, "Maybe he was just trying to trick Malacheni into giving up the idea." ”
Tifeng said, "Whatever Ambrosa thinks, the top priority is to slaughter Norris's crumb first." ”
Chris shook his head and said, "He has three stones, and you have seen what Malacheni can do with them, Norris is very hidden, and we must be more careful." ”
"If you've been spying on Norris like me, you'll know what he's doing," Tiphon said. I confess, this time I was deceived by him and I underestimated his spells. But that's all he is, his necromancy is too lackluster to pose a threat, otherwise he wouldn't have let me take all of Giovanni's possessions, and I wouldn't have allowed him to live until now. ”
"We can get here alive, Lady Pale and Ambrosa," Lamia said. In the worst-case scenario, the three of them join forces. ”
Ti Feng nodded and said, "Fish bone...."
I said, "If you let me be a spy again, you might as well slaughter me, my invisibility potion has run out, and I will be caught as soon as I probe it." ”
Ti Feng smiled bitterly: "It's really a chatterbox, I haven't asked you to do anything yet." ”
Alas, then I'll just shut up, in fact, my initial personality was quite cold.
And we can leave Norris alone, this is Europe! Not the Americas, not San Francisco. Even if Norris really gained some so-called divine power, what could he do? Will he be able to cross the ocean and settle accounts with us in San Francisco?
The bigger question is, how do we get back! We can't find transportation at all, and we don't know if the demons of Europe are easy to deal with? Is the Sun King of Europe still lurking? Has humanity been revived in Europe?
The previous map hasn't been explored yet, so why did you change the map?
The lifeless wind, like the wails of countless dead, came from below. We reached the edge of the cliff, where there seemed to have been a heavy wall, but now the Sealing Stone had been opened.
The remains of the real Kaimakle dungeons are presented to us.
