Chapter 98: The Man in the Black Face

"Let go of me, you bandit!!" the beast screamed as it felt its soul weaken and seemed to be about to crumble.

"Just go for it." Sieg grabbed it by the neck and sneered, "No matter how hard you struggle, it's useless!"

"No...... Help!!" The alien beast has been guarding the tomb for so many years, and I have never met someone like Sigurg.

Generally speaking, although it is not an evil spirit, because of its huge size, the mystics have no way to deal with it. In addition, the state of his soul body can escape into the bronze gate at will, and it is still okay to run if he can't beat it.

Countless years of tomb guarding made him gradually relax his vigilance. After all, this is the land of inheritance, and any mysterious person who comes here must treat him with respect.

30%...... 45%...... 80%......

The progress bar gradually moved forward before Sig's eyes, and the beast's body became more and more translucent.

It seemed to be in a dying throes, yelling and slamming even the bronze gates.

Finally, when the progress bar comes to an end, the fusion is completely over.

Name: Sig.

[Bloodline 1];Poisonous Fire Demon (Bloodline).

[Bloodline Level]: Perfect (12300/100000)

[Bloodline 2]: ???

[Bloodline level]: ???

[Bloodline 3]: Ghost (Level 0)

[Degree of blood]: mottled.

[Level]: Quasi-first-level magician

The newly added ghost bloodline means that Sigur has completely fused this huge alien beast soul body.

"The ghost bloodline, although it is a waste bloodline, the memories in it can still be used temporarily. Sieg looked at the extra blood he had and said to himself.

This kind of geist bloodline is a waste bloodline, which has no value at all, and cannot compare to the bloodline of evil spirits.

"Let me see what the ghost remembers just now. Sigur began to search for fragments of memories that had fused with each other.

The giant beast was a creature called a ghost, which was so rare that it was difficult to find.

According to Sigurt's fused memories, ghosts are extremely fond of corpses, and where there are ghosts, there are usually a large number of creature corpses.

Although the level of the Spectres is not high, they possess a talent that no other creature can match—immortality.

Of course, the immortality of ghosts is not immortality in the traditional sense, they are achieved through a special method.

Each ghost is a hermaphroditic creature that can mate, mate, and conceive itself. And the birth of ghosts is different from other creatures, they are neither viviparous nor oviparous, but grow directly at the core of the original father/mother's soul body, gradually replacing the consciousness of the original parents, seizing control, and becoming the new owner of the soul body again.

The newborn ghost will inherit the memories of his original father, thus completing an alternative nirvana and achieving eternal life.

Seeger is now fused with such a ghost that has been conceived tens of thousands of times.

Given their immortal nature, and their penchant for keeping corpses company, it's no wonder that the owner of the tomb would catch a ghost to serve as a grave keeper.

No...... It's not one, it's three!

"In the ghost's memory, it had two other companions, both of whom had been captured by a black-faced man. Sigurt began to sort through the ghost's memories: "The Blackface captured them, forced them to become servants of an old monarch, and then sealed them forever as grave keepers in the then-unfinished Catacomb**. ”

"After the old tyrant was buried, the black-faced man told the three-headed ghost that from then on, many adventurers would come to explore the tomb, and told them all to intercept and use the bronze gate to kill them. But if five men and one woman and six adventurers come after 50,000 years, don't stop them. ”

The black-faced man gave the ghosts three questions to question the six who had come on the expedition in 50,000 years. A flood of memories began to flood into Seeger's mind, and he had heard the first two of the three questions.

The first is about the choice between family, friendship, and love.

The second is the question of life's pursuits.

As for the third question, it's a bit weird.

"What do you think is the essence of our world?"

The nature of the world?

"How do I know!" Sieg muttered inwardly, these three questions gave him an inexplicable feeling.

What did the black-faced man want to do?

What is his purpose in asking these strange questions?

However, Sieg soon took on a strange look, as he searched the ghost's memory for such a sentence.

"You don't care how they answer these questions, you just need to remember: for these six, the first five will all be wiped out when they pass through the cursed gate, and only the last person to answer the question will enter. "These are the words that the black-faced man has repeatedly warned the ghost.

Let only the last one to answer the question come in?!

Sieg was stunned for a moment.

He had thought that he had passed through the bronze gate with his extraordinary intelligence ability, but now it seemed that it was only because he was the last to answer the question?!

In that case, then why did he ask these three questions, it didn't make sense. Sieg couldn't figure out what the other was thinking.

"The black-faced man, in the ghost's memory, was an extremely intelligent man. "Sigurt hasn't fully inherited all of the ghost's memories, and the memories from a long time ago have faded, leaving only scattered fragments of memories.

"The first intelligent person mentioned by the ghost before should be this black-faced man. Seeger recalls his first conversation with the ghost. In the eyes of these ghosts, the black-faced man seemed to be more feared than the tomb owner.

"According to the information on the previous mural, the black-faced man seems to have suddenly appeared and disappeared...... Moreover, he seems to have the ability to predict the future!" Sigger's mind began to run wildly.

Ask three questions, but don't care about the answers, and only let the last person to answer come in......

For a moment, Sieg seemed to think of something.

"Could it be ......" Sigurt thought of a possibility, a possibility that made his back tingle.

"There is an explanation that it is very likely that the black-faced man has already predetermined the inheritor through his ability to predict the future, and this inheritor is the last person to answer the question. Only then did he not care about the answer at all. ”

"Then why do you have to ask these three questions?"

"Could it be...... It's not three questions at all, but three hints?!!"

Sieg guessed that the other party might want to hint at some things to the later inheritors through these three questions. But as for what exactly happened, Seeger didn't know.

"Anyway...... This burial dungeon can't be built especially for me, right?" Seeger suddenly thought of something, and he muttered to himself, uttering a guess in his heart.

The black-faced man has the ability to see the future, if it is true, does that mean that he has actually seen everything today?

He had already seen that he was the last person to answer the question?

Tens of thousands of years ago, he specially built this burial underground palace just to wait for his arrival today?!

Sigurt is scary to think about.

"Forget it. Sigur shook his head, tidying up the mess.

Since you can't figure it out, you just don't think about it anymore, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.

For now, it's important to seize the time to loot the treasure.

Now that he knows the secret of this bronze gate, Sieg is naturally fearless.

"The last person to answer the question, huh. Sieg walked to the bronze gate, glanced at the strange giant gate, and then used the ghost's authority over the bronze door to mobilize the dark green light to envelop his periphery, and without saying a word, he stepped in.

In the ghost's memory, the bronze gate was a magical item brought by the black-faced men from the Otherworld, and they called it the 'Cursed Gate'.

If you fail to get the consent of the gate, you will be cursed with unprecedented viciousness. And the curse on the first bronze door was the horrific torture of the living dead.

Joanna, Cathary, and Allen in front of me are afraid that after a while, they will notice the abnormalities in their bodies.
