Chapter 805: Four Keys

The tomb was dark and gloomy, and the air was filled with the smell of decay and bad smell, but fifteen young Silver Eagle scouts were talking and laughing inside, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Elus Yuege smiled at the corner of her mouth, and looked at her subordinates who were inspecting the tomb calmly. Although no substantial progress has been made in this exploration of the tunnel, they have not encountered any undead creatures in the underground tunnel, but found many lizards and birds that have run into the tunnel through the cracks in the rock wall to nest and spend the winter, which is enough to show that this mountainside tunnel dug by the undead of Ant-Man is relatively safe.

When exploring unfamiliar areas, there is nothing more comforting for a Commander than a relatively safe environment.

General Yuege commanded thousands of subordinates, and the only elite who could be selected by her and were willing to accompany her on the adventure were these 15 people. Just because they are young and bold and ambitious does not mean that they are reckless and ignorant and fearless of death. But the young fighters have their own goals and are willing to take risks to do so. For example, the dwarf Udride and his siblings want to save their seriously ill sister, the prophet Agello and the adventurer Kiki want to improve their knowledge and skills by exploring the ancient ruins of the Azores, and the wild elves and dryads aspire to increase their bloodline.

The expedition planned by Ruth Moon Song certainly had her own goals. However, she learned the Luna Breathing Method, and her main goal was achieved. Unfortunately, this precious set of Luna breathing techniques was designed for her by Nightingale alone, and there was no way to teach it to other elves, let alone dwarves and halflings.

Since her companions' goals have not yet been achieved, Elus cannot choose to back down no matter what, even if there is a greater danger waiting for them ahead.

As for Mr. Nightingale, his strength is incomparably great, and his self-created Moon God Breathing Method is a priceless treasure. However, he was unable to compensate for the defect in his ears. This may be due to the fact that his clan has been wandering outside for too long, and the Breath of the Moon God he created cannot help him restore the power of his bloodline, so he can only rely on the blessings of the Moon Divine or the Sun Tree to strengthen the High Elves' bloodline.

Because of this, it was impossible for Mr. Nightingale to abandon his expedition or help the other Silver Eagle Scouts revise their breathing methods. He needs companions and helpers before he can reach his goals.

In fact, Eluss had considered whether the Nightingale would be the leader of a human expedition. But the rest of the team, especially the three Dryads, were impressed by his noble Moon Elf bloodline. It is impossible for the elves to mistake the high elves, even if the nightingale has something to do with the human expedition, he is also a seventh-order elf known as the son of the moon god, and is close and warmly embraced by the people of the elven empire.

With this, the Silver Eagle Scout will follow him first, and then consider whether his actions are harmful to his companions. Elus couldn't change her companion's opinion of Mr. Nightingale.

His short ears are actually very beautiful...... Eluss looked at the nightingale's flawless profile and mused.

Seeing that the nightingale's gaze turned, the wild elf general smiled at him and said, "Your Excellency seems to be in a good mood, is there a new discovery?"

Victor is indeed in a good mood, not only because of the information about the withered witch king found in this tomb, but more importantly, he uses the dragon maid Mei Wen to spy on the dark elf priestess Sahirtana with her old enemy talent.

Of all the dragon maids, Melfia was the most special one, she manifested the blue dragon bloodline, and was born close to the wind elemental sea, overlapping with Victor's realm. The two sides are more connected than the other three dragon maids, and the messages they convey are clearer. Through Mei Wen, Victor can unleash all of the Wind Elemental Realm's extraordinary combat skills, including Windwalk, Blindness, Nemesis, Raging Wind Domain, Chilling Wind, Wind Djinn's Grip, and Wind Elf Wings.

The strength of Mei Wen's team is actually not weak compared to Wizard Emerson's team. In fact, behind Randall's expeditionary force are two Sanctuary powerhouses, the Raging Wind Sword Saint and the Divine Favor Miller. Randall's expeditionary force, which surveyed the underground part of the temple, was under the care of Father Miller, and Victor was of course to take care of the team commanded by Nelson and Maywen.

However, in Victor's eyes, Nelson's team, including the two knights, Brandon and Klaus, is a group of straw bales. Their adaptability and combat level are nothing to question, but they are blinded by archaeology. And the Father Dane and Wizard Emerson under the temple are also scholar-type talents, and the little wizard Bertina can also sense the elemental rune crystals of the alchemy empire. As long as the elemental rune crystal that controls the queen's alchemy tower is hidden beneath the temple, it shouldn't be difficult for Bell to find it.

Victor now thinks that things are not so simple, the message of the Four Seasons Witch King alludes to the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water that make up the world, and the four witch kings represent the four keys to open the realm of all souls, which makes him faintly feel that the realm of all souls overlaps with the real world. It is very likely that the Temple of the Tower of the Azores is the node where the two planes intersect.

Victor has a bold hypothesis, will the clues of the elemental rune crystal be hidden in the realm of all souls?

There are a large number of ancient texts and artifacts on the upper level of the temple, which can reveal many secrets, but the academic straw bag led by Nelson cannot be counted on, and Victor cannot pay attention to Mei Wen all day. In fact, one of the drawbacks of blindness, rivalry, or wind whispering is the ability to distinguish the shape of an object, but not the color. Victor can observe the relief text through Mei Wen's blindness, but like the paint text or painting, he can't help it.

Thankfully, the elven reinforcements who were tracking Nelson's team were able to solve this problem, including knowledgeable dwarven prophets and mysterious dark elf priestesses, and Mei Wen could get a lot of valuable information as long as she spied on them from time to time.

The Dark Elves of the Underworld are the Elven Empire's first line of defense against the demons of the Abyss. When a black blood demon appears near Elanta, it means that something is wrong with the underground realm. The dark elves discussing countermeasures with their relatives on the surface is a reasonable guess.

There was a Dark Elf priestess in the elven reinforcements, and Victor didn't think it was too surprised. Through the conversation of the elven commander, he and Mei Wen's old enemy locked down and confirmed the identity of Sahiltana's dark elf. The Dark Elf Lady had long, wavy hair that fell from her hips, distinguishing herself from the other four Moon Elves.

Her collection of the Black Blood Law of the Mother of Plague Beetles really shocked Victor.

Although Sahirtana's purpose for doing so is unclear, her actions are bound to upset the internal balance of the Temple of the Azores and even affect the realm of all souls, including the Lord of Darkblood, the Lord of Sorrow, and the Queen of Ant-Man. The worst-case scenario is that the Black Blood Lord in the depths of the temple is absorbed by the Dark Elf Priestess, causing the will of the Ant-Man Empress to escape from the realm of all souls and return to the Ant-Man race.

However, if you think about it, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the Dark Elf Priestess to break the internal balance of the Temple of the Azores.

First of all, the Assyrian Empire collapsed 1,500 years ago, and trapping the will of the Ant-Man Empress with the realm of all souls was the only method taken by the Assyrian witch king. Instead of using the Elemental Rune Crystals prepared by the Esoteric Society. In other words, if the Ant-Man Empress could be solved with the Elemental Rune Crystal, the Assyrians should have used it as early as when the Ant-Man Alchemy Tower was out of control.

It can be seen that there are two possibilities, the first is that the elemental rune crystal is ineffective against the Ant-Man Empress, and the second is that the Assyrians cannot use the elemental rune crystal to control the Ant-Man Alchemy Tower.

The first possibility is not to be considered, because it will not help. Victor could only lean towards the second possibility, where the Assyrians could not use the Elemental Rune Crystals.

Perhaps, the Assyrian witch doctor does not have the conditions to use the Elemental Rune Crystal, or perhaps, the Elemental Rune Crystal has been lost, and may even fall into the hands of the Ant-Man Empress, causing the Esoteric Alchemist to not be able to close the Ant-Man Alchemy Tower in time, so that the Assyrians have to fight against the runaway ant plague.

There is no doubt that the chances of Victor finding the Elemental Rune Crystal in the temple ruins are slim to none, and information and clues are the most important.

If there are no clues on the surface of the temple, the ghosts in the realm of all souls should know what happened.

Victor believes that the prerequisite for breaking the balance of the temple is that the balance is about to be broken. The Black-Blood Lord had sent a distress signal to Imerson that he was not in a good situation. Victor doesn't know how long the Blackblood Lord will last, but he believes that this operation is an opportunity created for him by Miller, the Divine Favorite.

It is no coincidence that the Randall Expeditionary Force and the troops of the Elven Empire met at the Temple of the Azores, even if Victor stood by and watched, the Dark Elf Priestess would take the authority of the Black Blood Master, thus upsetting the balance within the Temple and even in the realm of all souls, and even if Victor stopped the Elven Empire's operation and killed the Dark Elf Priestess, the Elven Empire would send another Dark Elf Priestess to carry out this mission.

Because, the third invasion of the Abyss Demon on the material plane is about to begin, and the problems of Ant-Man's Alchemy Tower, Temple Demons, and Undead have reached the point where they must be solved. Even if it is necessary to break the balance of the realm of all souls, Victor will not hesitate to do it.

Of course, Victor didn't want Sahiltana to act too quickly to collect the demonic law, and he also had to search for more clues inside and outside the temple. Therefore, he gave the elven troops a little trouble, and used Mei Wen to cast a cold wind to eliminate thousands of plague beetles at once. But the timing of Victor's secret attack was very clever, just when Sicordis started to deal with the beetle, and this black cauldron was buckled on the head of the seventh-order wind shooter. It is foreseeable that the minions of the Black Blood Lord will desperately stop the elven troops and delay their movements, thus buying more time for Nelson and the others to find clues.

The variables brought about by the Dark Elf Priest cannot be said to be completely under Victor's control, he can at least exert influence. Eloth Yuege didn't understand the changes in the overall situation, and Victor didn't need to explain the truth to the Silver Eagle Scout beside him, so he only nodded and said: "I found an interesting phenomenon, we have found four Azores Tower Witch Doctor Tombs*** The situation is similar. But I noticed that the first three pit tombs were all altars of the Calamity Witch King, and the heads of the dried corpses of the altars were facing a point. ”

Hearing this, the dwarf Eglow immediately stood up and said loudly, "What?, Lord Nightingale, what do you mean by pointing the head of the dried corpse at a point?"

Victor first circled the obsidian altar in the tomb, looked up and said, "I mean, the dried corpses of the altar of the Tomb of the Calamity Witch King point to a location, and their heads will meet in a straight line about 13 kilometers. I guess it's an underground space too. ”

The tree elf Angel Windsong looked at Victor with reverence in her eyes, nodded and said, "Your Excellency, you are amazing. Then he furrowed his slender eyebrows and said suspiciously: "But how did the Azorean Tatars determine the location of the tomb built in the belly of the mountain?"

The elves took it for granted that the children of the moon could see through the rock barriers, so why did the Azoreans orient themselves in the cave tunnels?

The tombs connected by the tunnels in the belly of the mountain are located in different locations, the water level is different, and there are rock barriers to obstruct the view, and each black glazed stone altar has to be adjusted to point to an underground space.

This is undoubtedly an unbelievable thing.

Nightingale's claims were not verified by the Silver Eagle Scouts, but Angelise recognized his findings, but questioned the Azorethians who built the tombs.

Why can the elves orient themselves in the underground, and why can't the Azorians?

If the Azorean Tatars can't do it, doesn't that mean that Mr. Nightingale has misjudged?

The arrogance of the elves was evident at this moment, and their double standards made Victor cry and laugh, shook his head and said, "I guess the Azores witch doctor used the realm of all souls to choose the location of the tomb altar. If my guess is true, the realm of all souls overlaps with this area...... The four keys to the realm of all souls should refer to the four underground spaces indicated by the dry corpses of the tomb altar, representing the four main tombs of the Four Seasons Witch King. ”

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go, there must be treasure in the Witch King's tomb. The dwarf Udrite plucked a feather from the crown of the dried corpse of the altar and said with a roar, "There is nothing in it, and I don't want to wait for my old man to drag his beard to his belly, my grandson, but I, 'Grandpa, you will go on an adventure in the Azores and go home with a few dry feathers?' ”

The five dwarves giggled and joked, and took some of the burial goods from the dried corpse as a testimony to the adventure. The trophies were mainly feathers from the crown of feathers, but there were also polished wooden bracelets, or animal bone necklaces.

Originally, this kind of behavior was forbidden, but everyone was in the cave in the mountainside, and Elus and Victor didn't care about the Silver Eagle Scouts picking their favorite memorials.

A wild elf war dancer snatched a clear yellow translucent orb from the sleeve of the dried corpse and respectfully presented it to Victor, "Lord Nightingale, look at this burial object. ”

The ball was about the size of a normal fist, and the material seemed to be ordinary resin, and the key contained a lifelike Assyrian head. It bared its teeth, its eyebrows furious, its long fangs baring out of its lips, its expression pained and hideous, and the marks of a knife behind its ears that once covered it with scales.

The elven warriors all gathered around and marveled, and the halfling climbed onto the shoulder of an elf to watch, and the dwarf could only jump to his feet in the outer circle, clamoring for them to take a look.

Victor's wind elemental sense could not penetrate the resin, and observing the skull inside, he frowned and said, "The victim's skull should have been smashed and removed, so that the head could be reduced to this extent." ”

"What is this for?" said Iluna, the sister of General Yuege, curiously.

"Maybe it's the witch doctor's favorite collectible, maybe it's the spellcasting medium...... Who knows?" Victor shrugged his shoulders and said with a disgusted expression, "The customs of the Assyrian witch doctors are evil and cruel, and disgusting. ”

The Wild Elf War Dancer had originally wanted to present this strange object to Lord Nightingale, but when Victor said this, he suddenly felt that the resin ball in his hand was particularly disgusting, and he retracted his hand like lightning, causing the ball to fall to the ground. The other elves also wrinkled their noses and spread back, as if the ball rolling on the ground was a stinky toad.

"You don't want it? That's mine. A dwarven guard picked up the resin ball and stuffed it into his backpack.

Prophet Aglo rolled his eyes to trick the resin ball out of the hands of the dwarven brothers, scaring him and saying, "That thing is a little weird, you better show me." ”

The dwarven guard grimaced at Agro and taunted, "Graybeard, when you roll your eyes, I know you don't have a good eye...... Try to lie to me, be careful that I beat you as ugly as Udrite. ”

Udrite's beard was cocked in anger, and he was about to step forward to tear it with his dwarven brothers, but was pushed away by the wild elf general.

Elus Moonsong stared at the dwarven guard and ordered with a calm face, "Kelho, put that thing back!"

Her eyebrows have thinned, and her face has a soft and beautiful line, but it is still the same scary dwarf. Kelho muttered, reluctantly shoving the resin orb that sealed the Assyrian head back into the sleeve of the dried corpse.

Victor nodded appreciatively to Elus, and said, "Let's get out of here, I'll go to the front of the line, and find the main tomb of the Witch King of the Four Seasons as soon as possible." ”
