Chapter 391, The Shroud
This passage was shorter than Xiao Yan imagined, and after 3 hours, Xiao Yan had already come to an end.
Unlike those rhizomes in Huaxia that have not been explored clearly, the end of the passage here is not a wall of light that emits a faint light, but the simplest result, a completely sealed wall without any cracks. Although it is carved with the most beautiful flowers, the tallest trees, and the most majestic animals, it cannot hide the somber smell of death.
This location should not be far from Paris, Xiao Yan is not sure. The rhizomes of the Shijie tree do not shrink the same percentage of distances around the world, with the least distance reduced in the ocean. As for this kind of passage without head and tail, Xiao Yan didn't know how much distance such a passage could shorten. Theoretically, three hours would be enough time for him to walk from Paris to Dublin, but that was just a theory.
Among these hidden carvings, Xiao Yan clearly saw several corpses, and he counted them, and there were only 6 of them. It's hard to imagine that such a huge carving project was completed while the six skeletons were still alive, but Xiao Yan didn't see any other bones along the way. Unless there has been a situation here where they cannibalize each other and don't even let go of the bones, but in any case, these 6 corpses should be the most powerful ones in the entire passage when they are alive.
Because they are the strongest, they can survive to zuihou.
It's 3 hours from Paris, and even if you extend 3 hours in the other direction, it's not too much. There is no fork in the road, and there is no huge auction room space like the rhizome of the Huaxia Shijie Tree, if Xiao Yan can only survive in such a 6-hour shijie every day, it will not take a month. He can go crazy.
Obviously, life here understands this as well. They carved intricate patterns in the passages. This is a way to pass the time. But when this carving was completed, the six survivors of Zuihou also came to the end of their lives.
Xiao Yan calmly walked over to the bones of the six corpses that seemed to be sitting side by side and seemed to be chatting calmly, and calmly observed.
These bones are much taller than the average height of modern humans, half of their body is half the height of Xiao Yan when they sit there, and their lower limb bones are significantly longer than their upper body. If they stand up, they have an average height of about 2.10 meters.
Relative to their height, their bones appear slender. Xiao Yan looked at those leg bones and roughly imagined how these beings would have stood up. Then he couldn't help but shake his head, if there wasn't enough fat, all of these guys would be extremely skinny. If there is enough fat, such bones do not seem to be able to bear the weight of the body. Of course, the life that lives in this passage does not have to be constrained by the gravity of reality.
Wait, Xiao Yan suddenly realized something, he looked at the bones again, and finally found an answer in his mind.
It's not that the life trapped in this passage doesn't want to leave the passage and go to reality. But. Their skeletal state is determined, unless they make a terrible weight loss. Turn yourself into a creature like a skeleton, or the weight of your own body alone will crush you to death.
The question is, can you really survive once you become a skeleton-like creature?
Wait a minute......
On this shijie, there used to be a creature, like a skeleton, that had skills that ordinary humans did not have. It was a magical ability that could be used in real life, and Xiao Yan had seen such a guy before.
Lich!
Those lichs, Xiao Yan suddenly realized that the lichs who were supposed to be dead creatures would appear in the trial Shijie, and what they really showed was that they were closer to plants and life than ordinary humans. And the Shijie Tree even has to give the Lich a very important task, obviously, the Lich is not really a dead being, they do not come from Hell, nor are they resurrected by the dead, but a real living being.
The Lich is the only way for these beings in the passage to enter reality, and the only way to do so is to wait for death in this passage. And the possibility of becoming a lich should be slim to none, not all life in this passage can become a lich. Looking at these 6 corpses, Xiao Yan let out a long breath, he didn't gain anything here, except for getting an approximate real history, which was covered up for tens of thousands of years of sad history.
Just then, Hannibal suddenly approached, sniffed the bones, and then screamed at one of them. The sound was loud in the empty passage, and suddenly it sounded like a thunderclap rolling here.
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, walked over and fiddled with the corpse bone, and as the corpse collapsed softly, a line of Xiao Yan's extremely familiar words suddenly appeared in front of him.
"I will come back here and be obscured by history with my companions"
The inscription is: Kel'thugad.
Xiao Yan then opened a corpse bone, and behind it was the same familiar text. This text, he had seen in the trial shijie of that castle, and after having a high-level language talent, these words could not be difficult for him.
Germanic, an older language than Old High German, flourished before 650 AD and was of course mixed with Old High German for a long time.
"I want to save Galvin, but he's turned to dust"
The inscription is: Galsa.
Behind the bones of Garza's side, a line of text is also inscribed.
"I was the last to arrive, so I could look at their bodies more quietly"
Signed: Phil Kossler
"If you live too long, life has become a burden"
This is the text behind the bones of the fourth person, whose original name was Saracco
"I love Garza, but now I can only love her bones"
This is the text behind the bones of the fifth person, and his name is Bush.
"Look, I'm the first, and those who are behind me are all idiots"
The original name of the sixth skeleton was Sammer.
Looking at the words behind these bones, Xiao Yan realized that the lich in that trial shijie was real, and they left the passage from here, and then after a long time, they returned to this passage to die. As for the birth of the lich seen in the Karluhe Trial Shijie, it may have something to do with the fact that the Shijie Tree wanted to simplify this history.
The lich who appeared in the Karluhe Trial Shijie used to be real in the real Shijie, he used to be very optimistic, had a good temper, and, of course, a resounding name.
Xiao Yan glanced at the name Kel'thugad again, Hannibal had just yelled at the bone, apparently sensing the connection between the lich in the trial Shijie and the bone in front of him.
This is really an unimaginable shijie for Xiao Yan, these crazy lichs once left this passage, roamed in reality shijie for at least ten thousand years, and then returned here to wait for death quietly.
This didn't sound like a problem, but the question that Xiao Yan had had an answer to before now popped up again. Who is it? Who was so idle that the entire passage was turned into the current life-and-death sculpture botanical garden?
"Unless there are some other people, the question is, where are their bones?"
Xiao Yan's head was confused by this string of questions, he was not ready to continue to think about it, he wanted to rely on the information he had now, and wanted to fully understand this dusty history, maybe the final result was to think of death here and become the seventh corpse.
At this moment, perhaps because of Hannibal's roar, or perhaps because Xiao Yan touched these bones, the entire passage suddenly began to tremble slightly. Just as Xiao Yan was trying to figure out what was going on, a huge coffin suddenly slowly grew out of those beautifully carved jungles. It was a transparent crystal coffin, on top of which it was covered with a fine knitted fabric, which looked like some kind of plush fabric, more like velvet.
Strangely enough, there was no one in the coffin, and there was nothing in the coffin, which seemed to be the most honorable place, to which even Kel'thugad had no right to own, except for the fabric that covered the surface.
The coffin slowly stopped in front of Xiao Yan's eyes, and then there was no movement. In the corner of this coffin, Xiao Yan unexpectedly found a mark that was also familiar to him.
A spear and a carpenter's ruler.
That's the mark that Xiao Yan can often see in the Povsky family, and it often appears on the tattoos of those who are insiders of these families. Thinking about Charlotte's endless magic circles, Xiao Yan thought he should have discovered something.
"Some of us have dedicated themselves to the devil, my king has lost his clothes, and I will go to the lair of Zuihou to retrieve the cloth for my king"
Under this mark, someone wrote something like this in Old Latin.
Xiao Yan looked at this text, and somehow, suddenly remembered the shroud in the Industrial Bank, which was said to belong to a human being at all. He had always believed in his feelings, and now was the time to look for evidence for his belief.
Circling around this coffin, Xiao Yan saw that there seemed to be something behind the coffin. He reached in and tugged hard, and soon a sign that he couldn't tell what it was made of fell out.
On it, the same content was written in ancient Latin, Germanic, Hebrew, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Sumerian, and ancient Babylonian cuneiform
"The king had thirteen guards, and Kel'thugad was the bravest"
"The king had thirteen guards, and Galvin was the most silent"
"The king had thirteen guards, and Gartha was the most beautiful"
"The King Has Thirteen ......"
At this point, the text is interrupted, and the sign is incomplete, and it may be necessary to find all the signs to know what it is talking about.
However, Xiao Yan's focus has begun to shift slightly, and his eyes are on the back of this brand. (To be continued......)
