Chapter 37: Speculation (2nd Update: Merry Christmas to Everyone)

Seeing this familiar scene, Lucien instantly recalled the identity of the sphinx mummy in front of him, which was the Sphinx King Finks he met when completing the Rhine mission!

At that time, it was sealed in the coffin, and after a short resurrection, it was killed by itself with pale justice, and fell into a deep sleep again, and when it escaped, it left through the crack in the necromantic realm, so it witnessed the black, white and gray projection of its mausoleum, witnessed the rust-colored ball of light stained with blood, and witnessed the strange reddish-brown "spider silk", and realized that the place where it was really sealed was in the necromantic realm.

But now, it was directly killed by the Sword of Truth along the projection relationship, and it no longer had to worry about being sealed, because the existence of a completely fallen could not be sealed.

"This is a projection?Sacrifice your intellect to gain your original strength?No wonder my 'Destiny Meteor' can't really destroy it. Douglas said with some speculation, the "Destiny Meteor" acts on the ontology, which will destroy all life-saving preparations, but it cannot hit the ontology with projections, clones, etc., and can only cause a certain degree of damage.

Lucien said solemnly: "Maybe it's not just because of sacrificing the sphant, I suspect that it was sealed in the necromancy realm because there is something that wants to extract its divine light ball power, by the way, it is the Phinx, the king of the sphinx." ”

"Finks, the legend who died nearly 10,000 years ago?" Douglas was familiar with ancient civilizations, and Finks's mausoleum is still located in the southern desert of the Gusta Empire.

Fernando grasped the point of Lucian's words: "Divine Light Sphere?"

Lucien nodded, describing all the details he had seen in the Finks Mausoleum and the reflection of the Necromancy.

If it was a few years ago, I couldn't touch a strange ball of light that couldn't really get close. Douglas, Fernando, Vicente, and the others certainly didn't know what the Dao was, but now, they were undoubtedly sure that this was the Divine Light Cluster!

After a moment of silence, Douglas said solemnly: "In this way, the Finks of 10,000 years ago may not have really died, but was captured by the people of the necromantic realm and sealed in a specific place, using it as the core to condense the divine light ball, and slowly extract and transform. The projection guarding the Necromantic Sanctuary is only a side effect. ”

"Hmph. It's no wonder that before the start of the Dawning War, there were basically no false gods in the main material world! I have searched through all the ancient records, except for the mythological era, and I have not found a single existence similar to a false god! I have always been very curious about this matter. Since there are so many false gods that can emerge during the Dawn War. It shows that the main material world realm also has the conditions for condensing the divine light sphere. What can be said that the newly discovered alien space can have so many false gods, but the main material world realm does not? It turns out that the people of the necromantic realm are spying on everything behind their backs. Fernando snorted coldly.

Erica furrowed her eyebrows, "You mean, every legendary or powerful creature that might have condensed the orb of divine light has been targeted by the necromantic realm? Let them die 'naturally'?"

"That's pretty much the case, I see that in the report submitted by Evans, the mysterious existence of the necromantic realm has recovered a lot by devouring the divine light ball of the same attribute, perhaps, the legends and vassals of the necromantic realm grabbed the sphinx king to seal it in order to awaken him, in order to extract and transform the power of divinity. Vicente, Lord of the Revenant, said in a cold voice.

For a legend like Finks, although he does not take the initiative to collect divinity, after being worshipped by all the Sphinx tribes, with the accumulation of time, there must naturally be a condensation of divine brilliance, so it is noticed by the necromantic world.

And because it is not really dead, the power of spontaneous faith will still converge to the place where it was sealed, so that the latecomers can no longer become "gods", and similarly, Ambola, the "Lord of the Sea" worshipped by the Kou Tao Fishman, should be the same, even if the later Kou Tao Fishman Emperor surpasses him in strength, he will not feel the power of faith at all.

On the one hand, there is a black hand behind the scenes, and on the other hand, the "sealed" monopolize the channels of faith, which creates a strange situation where there are no false gods after the mythological era, and it is not until around the dawn of war that a large number of people deliberately spread religion and collect beliefs.

In just a few words of dialogue, the six legendary magicians roughly restored this conspiracy that had lasted for an unknown number of thousands of years.

The Necromantic Realm has always been snooping and threatening the main material realm, and it is definitely not a harmless existence!

This exploration turned out to be more rewarding than expected!

"However, the sealing ritual of the Necromantic Realm is very good, and it can actually make the King of the Sphinx sleep for tens of thousands of years without completely 'decaying'. Klaus shook his head and smiled, using humor to dissolve the momentarily frozen atmosphere.

Lucien smiled: "When you are almost at the end of your life one day, you can take the initiative to apply for a seal from the legendary undead in the necromantic world, so that after tens of thousands of years, when the dream you longed for is ready to come true, you can wake up and enjoy it for a while." ”

"Eh, that's a great idea. Klaus laughed, "But I can't be careless now, I still have a long life to enjoy, and there are still many alchemy dolls waiting for me to return, but I can't be sealed in the gloomy mausoleum, and then project a hateful face to guard the Necronomic Temple." ”

Douglas took a breath and pointed to the hidden entrance not far ahead: "There may be more terrifying things waiting for us to explore, everyone must be careful." ”

The rotting corpses of the Sphinx King on the ground completely stopped wriggling due to the destruction of the main body, and the tide of black beetles all turned their stomachs to the sky, losing the sense of life and death, and then, they quickly turned into gray pus, and melted into the black earth.

............

The stern and dark pattern dotted the pure black gate, which shimmered with an unusually cold color, which was intimidating.

The entrance seemed to have been carved for the Genting Giants, and was dozens of meters high, and according to Adol's description, it was probably the smallest gate in the palace complex.

Floating inside and outside the door were a number of high-ranking undead similar to Adore, all of them wearing wide black hooded robes painted with strange and intricate white patterns, and they guarded the passage closely.

Douglas frowned slightly and said, "The Necromantic Temple has isolated spiritual power, and the magic eye I released only needs to enter." will cut off contact, and it seems that it can only sneak in directly by stealth transformation. ”

"Perhaps the Necronomicon Temple is a projection of the mysterious existence of the Necronomicon Realm. Vicente, Lord of the Dead, spoke suddenly.

"Quite possibly. Fernando rarely agrees with Vicente.

So, under the protection of illusion, the six legendary magicians headed for the gate.

It seems that Finks is the legend who guards this entrance, so Lucian and the others did not encounter other strong people, and under the gaze of dozens of high-level necromancer needle-like red rays, they entered generously and naturally, as if they had returned to their own home, without the slightest restraint, and these high-level undead turned a blind eye to this.

All the palaces are pure black. Cold dead silence. All the gardens have pale faces, eerie and terrifying, and all the corridors are completely sealed, and the spiritual power cannot spread outside. There are numerous necromancys everywhere. Rancid and unpleasant...... After a long time of moving forward cautiously. Douglas said: "The main hall in front is no longer the 'Lake of Resentful Spirits' in Ador's memory, which means that the location has found a change, and then we have to rely on ourselves." ”

Fortunately, there are also coordinate transformation laws left by Maskeling and Viken. And the place where they disappeared is confirmed to be behind the soul fireplace, so as long as you go towards the calculated coordinates, you will inevitably arrive at the soul hearth that separates the inside and outside.

After calculating the coordinates according to the parameters of the surrounding environment, Lucien and the others continued to move forward, recalculating them every once in a while.

"I feel like the temporal space in the Necronomicon is not normal. In front of a large hall, Douglas suddenly stopped, "It was as if we had come to another world." ”

Lucien took out the silver-white "moon timepiece" and looked at it: "Yes, time and space are not normal, the second hand, minute hand, and hour hand are all jumping around, and it seems that with every step, time and space will change." ”

"And the deeper you go, the faster time flows, and now it's about one day equal to five days outside. Douglas recorded the changes in a magic notebook, which was the duty of the "pioneers".

Fernando counted the coordinates of Muskelin's disappearance and the current coordinates: "Maybe it won't be long before we can see the soul hearth." ”

Along the way, Lucien and the others encountered four legendary undead creatures without intelligence, and with the cooperation of Vicente and Erica, they successfully deceived them.

"Hopefully, you'll be able to find the target by walking through this palace. Douglas turned into gas and went straight through the crack in the palace gate, without disturbing any magic array.

In the palace, there are rows of bookshelves, on which are dark yellow books, exuding a strong smell of decay, and on each layer of bookshelves, there are three white candles, emitting a faint white light, and the surrounding black and cold wall tiles create an eerie atmosphere.

"Library?" Klaus said with some surprise, "Will there be a library in the Necronomicon Temple?"

No one in those groups of necromancers will study hard every day!

Fernando's bright red eyes glowed with a silvery white light, and he looked at the contents through the bookshelf and through the cover of the book, without causing the slightest change.

"It is a rare book from different eras, with many records of lost civilizations, such as the mythological age that we no longer know. After a long time, Fernando whispered.

For magicians, books are one of the best rewards!

Douglas smiled slightly: "Memorize the coordinates here, then move on, and take the books with you when you get back." ”

Taking away the books now, it is easy to alarm the legendary necromancy, cause unnecessary changes, and delay the exploration of the soul fireplace, and when you come back, you don't have so much to worry about, and this is a peripheral area, which is in line with the law of coordinate changes in Adore's memory, and there is no need to crack it separately.

In the flickering white candlelight, Vicente's thin face with only one layer of skin was extremely terrifying, and he said thoughtfully: "It seems that something has changed?"

Fernando's expression sank, and there was a sudden sensation in the mental force field: "Where's Erica?"

Only then did Lucien realize that Erica, the "Transfiguration Master" who had been in the team, was gone!

In the windless library, the white candle flame is flickering and dimming, like strange eyes.

Douglas suddenly had a transparent crystal ball in his hand, and after a faint glow, his right hand suddenly stretched out, squeaked, and opened an invisible door.

Time and space change, and a secret room appears in the library.

In the secret room, a strange man with black hair and red lips was grabbing Erica and hugging her in his arms, two sharp teeth pierced deep into her neck, and Erica's flaxen eyes seemed to have lost their luster and her expression was dull and frozen.

Sensing the opening of the door of the secret room, the bewitching man in a gorgeous robe suddenly turned his head, his unusually pale face and the bright red of his mouth formed a terrifying contrast, and the blood fell from the corner of his mouth one by one, and he laughed madly:

"It's been a long time since I've drunk such delicious blood!"

He was full of expectations that Douglas, Lucian, and the others would be frightened, frightened, and temporarily lose their minds, but all he could see was a sarcastic smile - except for Vicente, who could hardly have a normal expression.

In astonishment, he pinched his neck in pain, as if something inside was burning his soul, and the blood in his mouth glowed with divine light.

The Erica in his hand had returned to normal at some point, opened his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped his neck, and sneered: "Didn't your mother tell you not to drink other people's blood casually? (To be continued......)
