Chapter 173: Speculation
"But you didn't abandon this place, why?"
"It's abandoned, it's just a matter of pretending to be a look. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
There was something sarcastic in his tone, and I don't know who he was mocking.
Elenaki said, "What about the ones underground?"
"From the beginning, it was clear to everyone that the power of the Sun God's divine remains was essentially different from that of the Sun God's emblem, and even that the power on this divine skeleton was not the power of the sun that was full of the power of death as in our undead beliefs. It's the original solar power. ā
Cheng Qi said: "You can stand it!"
"The divine remains are not as many as you think, and because they have been soaked in the Sea of Dead Souls for too long, they have lost the nourishment of their divine power, and they are no longer as strong as the legend. ā
Chao Zhu said: "So the underground temple is actually a retreat left by you?"
Huanhuan smiled bitterly: "It's a retreat, it's a dead end!"
"Studying the power of the sun full of the power of death is not smooth at all, after all, this power of the sun is the original power of the sun, not only does it not have the slightest power of death, but it is also full of divine power. ā
Makoto said: "So you simplified the research and took the study of the power of the sun of the divine power of death as the main direction?"
"Yes, after countless failures, this is the only direction we have. ā
Cheng Cheng's heart moved, and he thought of Quest's words, and asked, "Is Quest one of you too?"
The ring was silent for a moment and said, "He is my apprentice." ā
This news obviously startled them again.
Ring continued, "But unlike me, who has always been eager to study the power of the Sun God's emblem, Questa's goal from the beginning was the power of the sun, which contains divine power. ā
He didn't seem to talk about this apprentice, so he continued: "Although the progress is slow after changing directions, I can always see a little progress. ā
"But at this point, a new problem arose before us. ā
Elena asked, "Is it faith?"
"It's something that is necessary to synthesize divine power, at least from our mortal point of view. ā
Thinking of the countless undead who had turned into props for faith underground, Makoto frowned and said, "Those underground, are the residents?"
Circle said: "It's just a part, and there are outsiders." ā
Ordinary people will first refute this kind of question, talk about outsiders, and then add a sentence about some residents, but the circle is talking about the residents first.
However, he didn't hear the dissatisfaction in the mouth of the ring, but there was some bitterness.
So Makoto asked, "Originally the faith was not offered as it is now?"
"You're very perceptive, yes, the faith that was originally offered by the city defense army. ā
Chao Zhu immediately asked, "Those who are now in flames are the original city defense army!"
"Yes. ā
Makoto thought of the skeletons in the skull warehouse again, and wondered, "So, those skeletons?"
Ring: "That's what happened next. ā
"When the faith was collected, the progress of the research accelerated a lot, and after less than a hundred years, we even succeeded in extracting a trace of divine power. ā
Chaozhu snorted and sneered, "This is the beginning of the disaster. ā
The Circle sighed again, "That's right, that's where the disaster began. ā
"We thought we had mastered the technology of purifying faith and condensing divine power through divine remains, but we didn't know that this technology was not perfect, and it could even be said to be full of loopholes. ā
"After another one or two hundred years, we, no, the younger brother of the lord of the lord, found out about the problem. ā
"In this world, it should be that Lord Anthony and the lord have the closest relationship, so Lord Anthony is aware of the small, but completely irreversible changes in the lord. ā
"It's a pity that by this time, the lord can't do without the power of this transformation. ā
Chaozhu thought for a moment and asked, "So those skeletons are the subordinates of this lord's younger brother, Anthony?"
"Yes, there were some skirmishes in the beginning, and Lord Anthony led his men to voluntarily choose to sleep. ā
There was no sarcasm in his tone, as Makoto asked again, "Voluntary?"
"Yes. If the lord succeeds, he will be awakened, and if he fails, the heart of the island will be immediately succeeded by Lord Anthony and become the new lord. ā
Makoto exclaimed, "You mean that his brother has reached such a point, but he runs to sleep?"
Ring said: "It's a kind of protection. At that time, the lord could no longer control his power, and if Lord Anthony did not choose to sleep, even he would be polluted by this power. ā
Makoto joked before that maybe the identity of this group of skeletons was more noble than the undead underground, but he didn't expect it to be true.
This explanation is reluctantly accepted, although it always feels like things are not so simple.
"And then?" he asked.
"And it went on until last year." ā
"Last year?"
"Yes. ā
From the previous information, Makoto learned that since last year, some kind of bad changes have begun to occur here, so Makoto hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Since last year, we have finally discovered that the derivatives of the divine skeleton that come over every year are not completely destroyed, and their remains are attached to this island, and even in the bodies and souls of the inhabitants. ā
Cheng frowned and said, "Since it happens every year, why did last year change so much?"
This question is not answered by the ring.
Cheng waited for a long time and saw that the other party didn't mean to answer, and then asked, "Then do you know that the skeletons in the warehouse have been awakened?" ā
"I know. ā
Makoto was curious, "Are you going to wake up the lord's brother?"
Ring laughed, "Hahahaha, Lord Anthony isn't there. ā
At this point, Chaozhu keenly noticed that the ring was not acting as he said, so he asked, "You actually have the idea of fighting back, or you have some kind of idea of getting out of the current situation." ā
Cheng was stunned for a moment, his brain turned rapidly, and he immediately understood this possibility, and said: "That's right, you are not showing a mentality of absolute death, you still have a trace of expectations." ā
Elena had no way of knowing where Subuku and Makoto deduced it, but she was obviously willing to believe their speculation, so she asked, "Does this have anything to do with us?"
Cheng Cheng moved in his heart and said in a panic: "What is there on this ship?"
If this matter has anything to do with the trio, the ring leads the trio here, which is obviously a necessary condition.
Makoto looked at this giant ship that exuded a slight ghost ship aura, his mind was like electricity, and combined with his previous words, a bold guess suddenly entered his mind.
He pointed to the space inside the ship and exclaimed, "Isn't that Lord Anthony right here?"
