Chapter 200: The River Styx
The Silent City is a city built between canyons, or more precisely, a city embedded in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info tall Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range spans the north and south of the continent, isolating the east and west sides of the continent for a long time, until that mythical war occurred in the middle of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, which forcibly broke through the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and connected the east and west sides of the continent.
And because of this gap, the exchanges between the two sides of the mainland have also become intensive, and the prosperous commercial trade and exchanges have given birth to such a prosperous city. It can be said that in terms of prosperity, only the imperial capital of the Luoya Empire can barely match.
And because the Holy See is entrenched in the middle of the continent and controls many human principalities in the middle of the continent, this city connecting the east and west sides of the continent naturally makes it the most suitable base to extend its power to the east.
And after a long period of fighting, the Holy See secretly took this city, which nominally belonged to the Roa Empire, in its hands. And in order to protect the city, and to monitor the movement of the mythical battlefield, the Holy See built the Holy Pass.
It's just that now this originally prosperous and noisy city is full of war tensions.
The so-called merchants had long since fled, leaving only the Holy See and the faithful in the city.
"Lord Linna, are we really going to leave the army like this? Nock said a little unwillingly.
"What if you don't return it. Linna looked up at the Silent City not far away.
"It's not that easy to defeat the Silent City, and even if we do. The Holy See will definitely fight back wildly, I think the Holy See headquarters must have sent a large number of crusader reinforcements now, reckless actions will only lead to destruction in the end, and ・・・・・・. Lynna changed his words sharply.
"Besides, didn't Charyana say that we are just auxiliaries, and it is not us who really want to deal with the Holy See. ”
At this time, in the broken holy pass, there was already a river of blood, and all the garrisons had been torn to pieces by the raging undead.
"You've said you'll need a lot of sacrifices, and the Crusaders should be the best sacrifices, so I'm curious what you're going to do with them. Char sat on the city wall, looked at the corpses under the city, and said to Elizabeth with interest.
"Although the gods of the God Realm are hindered by the rules of the continent, it takes a huge price to descend on the continent, but at least the Undead Emperors have been banished into the turbulence of time and space, and it is not easy to come back. ”
"That's right, that's why I'm going to do a blood sacrifice, and only one person, a great god, can bring them back. Elizabeth said.
"Blood sacrifice!" Char's brows furrowed slightly, if the gods of the god realm want to go down to the human world safely, they also need to carry out blood sacrifices to succeed, and these undead emperors also need to be sacrificed, and the object of the blood sacrifice is actually a god, is it the same in the god realm? If this is the case, then who is this god?
While Char was confused, Elizabeth and Elise had already started to do it.
"Elise, the magic circle given by the Emperor has already been engraved by you. ”
"Of course, the magic recorded in my book of sages is something I will never forget. Elise said as she opened the book in her hand, sparked by the magic. The Book of Sages automatically flew into the air, opening the page where the magic array was recorded.
And under the light of the Book of Sages, the blood on the ground was controlled by invisible magic, and slowly formed a magic array like the one on the page.
Seeing this, Elizabeth also came to the middle of the magic array, half-knelt down, and prayed solemnly.
"You are the beginning of the world, the beginning of all things, the nurturer of all living beings and the witness of the long river of time. Now that your humble children have sacrificed to you, please bring down your strength and lead the return of those who have gone astray, Gaia, the god of the primordials!"
"Gaia, evil god?" Hearing Elizabeth's prayer, Char was startled.
And before he could think about it, in his ears, he already heard strange sounds. It seemed to be the sound of a river flowing, but when you listen closely, it looks like an intermittent song, like a serene song from ancient times.
Soon, the sound of the river became louder, and a dark shadow power poured out of the ground, making the ground unreal. A looming black river appeared, ancient, vicissitudes, serenity, tranquility, this is a long river between the real and the unreal.
And in the river, you can vaguely see some illusory scenes, which are real events that happened in the past, and under these scenes, there are a large number of illusory souls drifting in the river, breaking away little by little, knowing that they have become nothing.
Upstream of it, there are countless tributaries that stretch up the earth and the sky, and seem to be everywhere. And its downstream converged into a larger black river, and Char could not see the end of it, only the great river that stretched all the way to the depths of the earth, until it entered the endless dark abyss.
"It's ・・・・・・. ”
"Styx!, this is the source of the magic of the world, the Styx, the beginning of everything, the end of everything. The soul fragments of the dead beings will fall into the River Styx, and after the baptism of the River Styx, the pure soul fragments will return to the continent and become a new life to be conceived. And only the River Styx can bring back the dead who have been lost in nothingness. Elizabeth said excitedly.
I saw that in the upper reaches of the River Styx, there seemed to be a broken ship moving in the void at the end of the sight, it did not know how many years it had been sailing in the void, and now, it had finally found its way back, heading towards the continent.
The black river washed the ground, and at this time, all the dead in the holy pass were swallowed up by the rising tide of the Styx, and the fresh corpses, flowing blood, and souls full of resentment and unwillingness were swallowed up by the Styx, becoming a part of the Styx.
However, when the tide of the River Styx was low, some powerful souls struggled to escape from the River Styx, attached to some corpses, and became new undead.
The waters of the River Styx will wash all souls until they are broken and reconstituted into new souls, and these powerful souls may have been the remnants of legendary powerhouses in the Sanctuary or even gods, so they held on to the River Styx for a long time, of course, even so, their sanity was also very little left, leaving only bloodthirsty instinct and strong strength.
In addition to leading the return of the Emperor of the Undead, these undead were also considered an unexpected joy of sacrifice in Elizabeth's eyes.
"Well, before the emperors really return, let's use them to solve some minor problems. Elizabeth had flown over the River Styx with Elise on her feet.
"Newborn undead, if you can't wait for bloodthirsty killing, then come with me and enjoy the feast. Elizabeth rode the silver dragon and flew towards the Silent City.
And these undead who have just crawled out of the River Styx, some of them have a little bit of sanity and have already understood Elizabeth's words, some of them simply feel the breath of life in that direction, and most of them are just instinctively following their powerful kind. They followed the looming River Styx and followed towards the Silent City.
