Chapter 113: The Last Words of the Tomb

The siblings looked at each other for a moment, and the girl finally reached out to Viklico to ask for a closer look at the empty vial of the elixir.

She took the empty bottle and uncorked it, sniffing carefully at the liquid that remained on the wall of the cup. "Yes, although it is masked by other scents, this bottle contains the solvent of the 'Blood of the Great King'."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Yelena's words, could it be that the elixir they had been using was the blood of the Elder King that they had been looking for? Draenor could indeed taste a vague fishy smell after using the potion, but it was quickly overshadowed by the bitter smell of the herbs, and it seemed that even if it really contained the blood of the Elder King, it was a very small percentage.

"I think I already know what you're going to do." Yakov sighed and described the old myths of the Lykos.

The leaders of the werewolf tribes are not elected by everyone simply by their ability, they will choose the true strong according to the strength of each other's blood. Blood is a relic left by the ancestor of the Lykos people, Mutu, to his descendants, and the purer the smell, the higher the status of that person, and these recognized powerhouses are also known as the legendary "pure-bloods". And the royal family of Snowway has been regarded as the descendants of the wolf god for generations, precisely because they have great power in their blood.

The leader who stands on the top of the mountain of all the "pure-bloods" is the supreme emperor who holds the "blood of the elder king".

"The 'umbilical cord' that Yelena spoke of before is the bloodline that connects the members of the royal family of Lycos. After the birth of the eldest king's heir, the umbilical cord is preserved and sacrificed to the wolf god. But not long after the war between the blood clan and the humans started in Abel, the 'umbilical cord' connecting the ancestor Mutu and his descendants disappeared inexplicably. Yakov turned his head to look at Vikiriko with cloudy eyes, and although he knew that it was dark before him, Vikiriko was still uneasy by the suspicious eyes.

Obviously, the missing umbilical cord was brought back to Vlactu by Emperor Delongavis, and the blood left in the umbilical cord, although it also belonged to the royal family, only inherited the oldest animal nature of the Lycos, so it became the most primitive material for the production of the White Refining Fire.

Vykily connects the legend described by Yakov with the notes of De Long the Great. It seems that the blood left in the umbilical cord is the raw material of the "White Refining Fire", and the blood flowing in the blood of the Elder King himself is the "Elder King's Blood" that can truly lift his curse.

The umbilical cord may still exist somewhere in Vlaktu, but that history is so old that today's Canaan and Vlaktu didn't even exist at that time. The war between the Bloods and the Humans on the continent of Abel took place in the era before the Holy Miracle, so there was no way to determine the exact location of the umbilical cord.

And now that Draenor didn't have time to look for the source of the "White Refining Fire", he carefully thought about Yakov's description, finding the umbilical cord was not the way to help him lift the curse, the real key was the "Long King" himself. According to the logical relationship in mythology, as long as Emperor Snowway, who can be called the long king, there is a mysterious "blood of the long king" flowing in his body.

"It seems that there is only one way to lift the curse, and that is to find the funeral room of the deceased emperor, who must still have some blood of the elder king in his body." Draenor presented his thoughts to the two royals in front of him, and he was eager for this opinion to be recognized.

Obviously, Yakov didn't think so, he sneered, shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think, although Snowway's royal family has more or less inherited the blood of the eldest king, but the only one who can really be recognized is the reigning emperor." There's a reason why the Lycos have worshipped the Elder King alone for so many years. ”

Vicilico still bowed her head and pondered, although Moran knew the history of Snowway, he had not heard of similar myths and legends. But the jewel-encrusted belt is enough to prove the identity of the two in front of them, and it seems that Snowway's royal family also has an unknown history.

"I'm sorry, but I advise you to die of this heart. Only my father's blood can lift the curse in your heart, but now the situation in the southern kingdom is very complicated, and even escaping there is a difficult task comparable to ascending to the sky, not to mention that you need to go to the palace to find my father in person. ”

Hearing Yakov's dissuasion, Draenor couldn't help but clench his fists. They had finally grasped the only clue in front of them after much difficulty, and now they were told that only the blood of the emperor could lift the curse. Although he himself had come here with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, it was all in vain for others who had been fighting side by side with him for so long. In Viklico's words, all of this is "funny enough." ”

"Then find a way to find the living Changwang himself, isn't it death? Who doesn't want to die openly? Viklico's eyes flashed with anger, and although she was a rare long-lived human being, she was still a young man of good blood as a Misarian. Draenor looked at her in silence with a serious expression, it wasn't over yet, and he himself couldn't give up easily.

There was a commotion from the other end of the tomb, and Draenor could faintly hear the sound of horses' hooves, which was strange, there were no villages or people nearby, when did the sound of horses' hooves begin?

Yakov suddenly became alert, he relied on his keen hearing to determine the identity of the people outside the tomb, and his brows suddenly furrowed, "Not good, I'm afraid it's really the tomb robbers this time." ”

"It's really a wave of unevenness." Vikily pulled out her spear from behind and tried to rush out of the tomb, but Yakov grabbed her wrist.

"It's useless, those grave robbers have been around here since before we got here. There were more than twenty of them, each of them a heavily armed Lycos strongman, and even you couldn't fight it. I had long suspected that they would make a comeback, but I didn't expect the most worrying thing to happen. ”

Draenor checked the remaining ammunition from his waist, he had used firearms in almost every battle along the way, and it was clear that there were not many bullets left, and if those Lykos turned into beasts, it would be a fierce battle. Moran had just recovered, and Cooper couldn't fight in the dark, and even with the strength of himself, Jeanne, and Vicchilico, the chances of winning were very slim, let alone protecting these fallen royals.

The voices outside the tomb became clearer and clearer, and the other party must have noticed the camel tied to the door. In less than ten minutes, the grave robbers will be chasing after you.

Everyone suddenly seemed overwhelmed, only to see Cooper grossing in the dark, and suddenly there was a tingling pain in his fingertips.

"Oops! What a sting, prick me! ”

Draenor instinctively turned his head to see Cooper standing on the edge of one of the walls of the chamber, with a strange groove in the middle of it. He could see the groove carved into the outline of a beetle, with a metal spike in the center. Although he was in a secret room, it was clear that this room was not the funeral chamber of the Long King, which meant that there were still some undiscovered mechanisms nearby.

He suddenly remembered the "treasure" that the merchant had given to Viklico earlier, and turned to her and shouted, "Vicky! Remember the strange thing the merchant gave you! Give it to me! ”

"You kid, when did you become so greedy for money?" Vekily thought that Draenor was still thinking about her treasure at such a critical moment, but there was no room for the slightest hesitation in front of her, so let's just see what tricks this kid was going to play.

As soon as Vikiriko pulled his hand out of her backpack, Draenor snatched the "treasure", a beetle statue made of pure gold, which looked exactly like the grooves in the wall. He hurriedly placed the beetle in the groove, and the moment the two merged, the chamber began to tremble violently.

The beetle-encrusted wall suddenly cracked and opened like a gate.

"It's too late to think about it so much! Get on board! Draenor hurriedly directed the group to flee deeper into the secret room, and the moment he entered the depths, he forcibly snapped the beetle off the wall.

Cooper's front foot had just stepped into the door, but his back foot was firmly stuck in the closed stone door. Draenor grabbed his arms and jerked them back, finally pulling the dwarf through the door.

Footsteps could be heard clearly through the walls, and although the process was thrilling, it seemed that only the beetle-shaped key could open the stone door.

Draenor went back and counted the numbers, and the four minions, the two siblings, and the others all hid in, and it seemed that they could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

Viklico suddenly noticed the strangeness of this chamber, which was significantly smaller than the previous one, and was surrounded by metal utensils, which were obviously treasures used for burial. In the center of the treasure was a huge sarcophagus, and although it was obvious that it was a little old, it was not difficult to tell from the gilded patterns carved on it that it was not an ordinary character who rested here.

Moran saw the words carved into the sarcophagus by the light of the torches, and she suppressed her excitement and whispered it.

"The descendant of the wolf god Mutu, the symbol of Snowway's brilliance, Anton the Great, is resting here. The old king is gone, and the glory endures. ”
