Chapter 67: The Bottom of the Tomb

Elton looked at Ralph who was napping and said, "Years ago, Howling Wolf Heights was a bustle, and I liked to venture around in my spare time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoA chance encounter allowed me to save Ralph who was caught in a trap, and it was unbelievable that this wolf was fluent in various languages. The conversation after the injury made me realize that in addition to the mages who studied the language of all things, there are many spirits on the vast continent who have become proficient in the languages of various races by chance, and the feeling of seeing each other and hating each other makes me and Ralph inseparable day and night. ”

As he said this, Elton walked slowly to the wooden door, looked at the gray plank, sighed, and said, "Everything was so good until a terrible plague infected most of the people and livestock in the mountain village, and I was not spared. With the decay of the lodge, all the caravans have been detoured, and the forest of Beira has become a forest of dead wood. The last steward buried the dead man and went away with what little possessions and workers were left in the cottage, and before he could leave he wanted to take Ralph with him, but the wolf would not go. I was sick and looking at Ralph who refused to leave, and I wanted to say goodbye to him, but he actually devoured the carcasses of animals infected with the plague. ”

Harris looked at the choked Elton and said, "Could it be that Ralph actually took the initiative to contract the plague in order to stay by your side?" Elton cried and said, "I was powerless to stop it at the time, but the blue ghost changed our fate. When my soul was torn out of my cold body, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Ralph standing outside the barn in a state of soul, you can never imagine how I felt at that time. ”

Harris wiped tears from the corners of his eyes as he stared at Ralph, the aged magician's heart filled with emotion. He turned his head to stare at Elton's body that emitted blue ghostly light and said, "The blue ghost potion you took does have the magical effect of stripping the soul, but Ralph is so powerful that it shouldn't be the effect of the blue ghost, which means that after turning into a ghost wolf, Ralph should be as weak and deceitful as you." However, it does protect the skeleton against the wolf, and its performance in the clown circle proves that the ghost wolf is very powerful, and unless there is a more reasonable explanation, the energy in Ralph's body can only be called a mystery to solve. ”

Elton looked at Harris solemnly and said, "I am almost inseparable from Ralph, it was indeed very strong when it was alive, but it would never be possible to stand alone with a pack of wolves and be unscathed. Soon after it was in its soul state, shortly after we were banished by the members of the Clown Council and returned to the lodge disappointed, I discovered that it suddenly possessed great power, which was truly incredible. ”

Harris stroked Ralph's glowing fur and said, "Maybe it's been to the Abyss, otherwise it's impossible." Hearing this, Elton immediately shook his head and vigorously denied it, he looked at the skeptical magician and said, "Maybe there is only one suspicion, Ralph will go out for a walk at midnight, and every time it is like sleepwalking. When it returned, it was like a bath, and it was full of ghostly light. ”

Harris looked at the night and said, "I'm going for a walk with it today, are you coming?" Elton shook his head silently as he stared at the solemn magician. He didn't worry about his own safety, but he didn't want to see the embarrassing scene of this kind of unsolicited tracking being discovered by his best friend.

Trist was angry enough to look at Harris and Elton sitting outside the barn, and instead of interrupting their chat, he led the people to clean the bedroom. As the snoring of the two Buck brothers could be heard in the room, Wolf Howling Heights regained its calm.

Harris looked at Ralph, who had his eyes closed, and asked puzzledly, "Does the soul still need to sleep?" Elton, who was standing on the side, said, "I never need to rest, but Ralph sleeps next to me for half a day every day." ”

As midnight approached, Harris opened his eyes slightly as Ralph let out a long howl at the lightning ghost wolf who had gotten up to leave. The old magician, keen to find out, hobbled with Ralph to the back of the lodge, and the ghost wolf was sleepwalking, not noticing Haris following behind.

A gloomy wind sent a shiver down Harris as he watched Ralph walk into the depths of the graveyard. Harris used the moonlight to discover a very hidden entrance to the tomb not far away, and Ralph had disappeared into the entrance of this tomb.

Harris was about to climb into the crypt when Elton appeared in front of him, the wandering ghost looking at the dust-faced magician. Harris looked at Elton who suddenly appeared and said, "Aren't you reluctant to follow?" Elton said nervously: "I'm more familiar with this than you, or it's safer for me to lead the way." Harris looked at the panicked Elton and said, "Hurry up, it's been in for a long time." Elton said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, this tomb was built by me when I was alive, and the internal structure is clear." ”

Harris followed Elton, who volunteered to lead the way, into the dark tomb, and to his disbelief, there was a sudden light in front of him, and through the narrow hole he came to a spacious place.

Elton kept changing directions in front of Harris, and with the help of the oil lamp on the wall, the old magician discovered that the labyrinth-like tomb was far more luxurious than the staggering tombstones overhead. Flat floors and smooth walls are painted with patterns, and a wide corridor leads to a staircase that leads down a short distance. At the end of the corridor are two pairs of metal armor, a majestic gesture that seems to warn the trespassers of the tomb. Harris slowed down, looking at the architecture around him, shaking his head at the unrealistic waste.

Harris followed Elton down to the bottom of the staircase, which was a circular cloister at the end of which four staircases appeared. Elton pointed to the staircase entrance on the right and said, "I guess Ralph is down here." Harris walked over slowly, his face pressed against the wall at the entrance to the staircase, and as the old magician cast his gaze to the bottom of the staircase, a startling sight made him shudder.

Hundreds of blooming flowers of darkness bloomed at the bottom of the deserted tombs in the deadwood forest, and these plants that only existed at the bottom of the abyss took root in this incredible place.

Standing next to the Flower of Darkness was Ralph, sleepwalking, enjoying the rising energy, the blue glow perfect in the dim light.

Harris turned to Elton and whispered, "Why is the Flower of Darkness, the plant of the Abyss, here?" ”
