Chapter 142: The Thing of Burial
【West of Aslan Empire, Rennes, County Palace】
Qi Ling looked at the silent people sitting on both sides of the conference table at the moment, their faces were not very good. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
These days, everyone is practicing physical and soul magic to break through the triple level of the Imprisoned Land. Kirin was even in the hot spring pool in the basement of the Yuka family, constantly practicing the ability to hold his breath, because when he thought that after all, the soul mound was in the deep sea of Rennes, he felt that it was very likely that he would be able to use it. He is now also able to allow Cang Xue to carry himself high into the sky, and then maintain absolute calm and stability when he falls freely from the sky, and his body can basically not automatically trigger the soul power reaction.
Even Youhua is constantly challenging the limits of her eternal healing. At the beginning of her practice, Qi Ling was still applauding and cheering for her, but as the capacity of Youhua bloodletting slowly changed from a wine glass to a copper basin, and finally when she rolled up her sleeves with a pale face and walked to the fountain pool in the middle of the courtyard, Qi Ling covered her eyes weakly and fled: "You practice first, I faint ...... blood"
But soon, they found that they had been ignoring the last problem that they couldn't get around.
"Have you figured out how to solve the last level? If there is no way, then we are jumping off the cliff and bleeding in front, and there is no point, and in the end we will not die at the gate, and we will fall short. Tianshu Youhua looked at the silent Lotus Spring and Silver Dust, and couldn't help it, and opened her mouth to break the silence in the conference room.
Silver Dust sighed softly, his slightly furrowed light gray eyebrows that looked like tired ashes.
"Silver Dust, I still don't understand a little, you said that the last level, you need to abandon the Horcrux to enter. However, both of us are gifted with Infinite Horcruxes, and giving up Horcruxes is nothing to us, right?
Lianquan raised her lowered head, she looked at Qi Ling's questioning face, and explained to him in a low voice, "'Abandoning the Horcruxes' is just a general statement. To be precise, at the beginning of the design of the White Hell, there was a shackle that could not be broken, that is, when this place of imprisonment was put into the prisoners, the gate was closed, and the prison blockade was activated, the cage could only be opened again, and once it was closed again, then the place would be sealed forever, and the people inside would no longer be able to escape. I believe that the Silver Priest had planned it this way: either the gates would open and Gilgamesh would be released, or he would be imprisoned permanently. In the middle of these two extremes, there is no buffer zone, no visitation, no approach...... To keep the White Hell Gate open, Horcruxes need to be consumed continuously. To put it simply, the sculpture outside the gate of the White Hell that was used to sacrifice the Horcrux was actually a countdown device that devoured the Horcrux. The time from which a Horcrux is released from its body, inserted into the grooves of the device, and finally completely consumed is the time limit for us to break through the white hell and rescue Gilgamesh, but, I don't think, no one can break through the last level in such a short time......"
"When Silver Dust goes in, I can stay outside the door! As long as I see that a Horcrux is almost exhausted, can't I immediately add another one?" Qi Ling was full of question marks.
"Yes, but ......" Lianquan shook his head slightly, "where do you have so many Horcruxes?"
"Isn't that easy? Why don't I just go out on the street and buy some knives, guns and sticks?"
"Normal weapons cannot be recognized by the countdown device, and the weapon that can keep the White Hell Gate open must be a Horcrux from the Soul Tsuka. Silver Dust's deep voice sounded like the twilight that was gradually darkening outside the window at this moment, as if the voice had seeped into the hoarse sand.
"That'...... Then don't we have to pass through the first layer of the soul mound, and when we pass by, we will collect a few more pieces, anyway, our talent is not an infinite Horcrux......?
"You should know that every one of us who has entered the soul mound and pulled out the Horcruxes from the soul mound will leave marks on their bodies, and it is impossible for those who are marked to pull any Horcruxes from the cliffs of the soul mound. "The heavenly bouquet of dark flowers interrupted Qiling.
"That'...... Where did so many Horcruxes come from?" Qi Ling was stunned, and then looked at Silver Dust, who was silent with his head down.
"The Horcruxes that Silver Dust possesses are the ancient Horcruxes that he has wandered around the territory of Yaslan over the years, looking for the ancient Horcruxes that once belonged to the apostles of the kings in history. Lianquan replied.
"Then let Silver Dust give me his Horcruxes, and I'll be responsible for guarding outside!" Qi Ling still didn't give up, he couldn't figure it out, there would always be a way to break through, right? Otherwise, this place of imprisonment would simply be completely sealed, why would he still torture people so much?
"My Horcruxes are filled with my soul power, and you can't take it for yourself until it dissipates. The reason why I went to find those ancient Horcruxes was because those Horcruxes no longer had the soul power of the people they once had, so that our talents could play a role. And it will take at least five years to wait for the soul power in the Horcrux to disappear naturally......" Silver Dust's voice was low, and there was a kind of desperate sadness.
Kirin stopped talking, and he looked at Silver Dust's eyes flickering in the twilight, as if a piece of paper had been crumpled, making a gurgling sound.
"I've thought of it!" Tianshu Youhua suddenly stood up, her voice trembling a little from excitement, "I have a way!"
【Underground Crypt of the Western Aslan Empire, Rennes, County Palace】
The long sunken staircase disappeared into the darkness ahead, and the oil lamp in the hand of the Heavenly Bouquet Youhua shone a small circle of fluffy yellow halos. Kirin followed behind her, cautiously walking underground.
At this moment, where they were, was a sunken tunnel in the shape of a round arch, and the tunnel was very deep, as if it led to the dark underground. The walls on both sides of the tunnel are not lit up like the usual underpasses. The walls were made of a dark gray stone, and Kirin reached out and touched the stone walls, which were smooth, cold, and tingling with a damp chill.
The sound of footsteps from their boots echoed through the passage, as if someone was following them.
Qi Ling's heart was a little hairy.
Especially after Youhua told him that they were going to the family tomb under the county king's mansion, this kind of crazy feeling became more and more obvious, as if there was a pair of cold hands that had been caressing the back of his neck.
After walking for a while, there was a faint blue halo in the darkness ahead.
Qi Ling bent down and looked towards the light source, and found that the steps had come to an end, and the steps stretched out a circular platform, and beyond the platform, there was a very wide underground stone chamber - said to be a stone room, Qi Ling knew in his heart that this was the tomb.
The crypt is a very neat rectangle, surrounded by torches and niches on the walls, and the blue flames that appear to be maintained by soul magic are burning inside, which is also the source of light for this underground tomb.
On each side of the long side of the tomb were four pedestals carved out of black stone that looked like tombstones, and at the far end of the tomb, in the middle of the short wall, there was a lone dark blue pedestal.
Behind each stone seat is a dark cave entrance, and inside the cave is a heavy marble coffin.
There are a total of nine caves and nine sarcophagi. Each sarcophagus has a groove on which an eclipsed Horcrux is inserted.
"This is the kings and apostles that have appeared in the history of our family, and the horcruxes they used during their lives are also enshrined here as burial objects. I think that the soul power inside these Horcruxes has long since dissipated, and they are just right for you to use. Nine Horcruxes don't have much time to buy, but they're certainly more promising than one......" The voice of the Heavenly Bouquet of Dark Flowers echoed in the underground tomb.
Qi Ling looked at the sword, gun, and axe set up on the coffin...... On the coffin behind the base of the dark blue tombstone in the far reaches was a crown studded with broken diamonds, which, unlike the other eclipsed Horcruxes, still looked new and sharp, the metal reflecting the dark blue light of the room, and the broken diamonds shimmering with blinding rainbow flickers.
"That crown, I know, is called the 'Crown of Weakness', I have read it in the family records, and I will go back and help you find out the specific ability of this crown. The other eight Horcruxes, I think, must have been recorded in our family's history, and they should all be found. Knowing the power of these Horcruxes will allow you to maximize their usefulness so that you can use them in battle before reaching the final level of White Hell, not just as the last material to be devoured by the device. ”
"These are all Horcruxes that your family has always kept and inherited, I took them all, will it be ......" Qi Ling picked his fingers, a little reluctant.
"It doesn't make much sense to put it in this dark underground. I'll leave it to you, and at least it will come in handy. I don't think my ancestors would mind. Tianshu Youhua smiled bitterly, "Moreover, the hope of rescue this time is pitiful, maybe we will all die on the way to the rescue, and our family, maybe to my generation, will be gone." Then this enshrined tomb and these Horcruxes are even more meaningless......"
"Youhua, I'm sorry......" Qi Ling looked at Youhua's flickering eyes, feeling very guilty, if he hadn't insisted on following Yinchen, maybe Youhua wouldn't have had to accompany him to death.
"What's there to be sorry for, I've been dragged into the water by you anyway, even if I don't go with you, I'll be captured by the Nether at any time. It's pretty much the same anyway. She turned and walked up the steps, "You hurry up and put these Horcruxes away, I'll go up first, it's cold and gloomy here, and I feel uncomfortable after staying for a long time." ”
The footsteps of the Heavenly Bouquet of Flowers faded above the stone steps.
Qi Ling's gaze swept over the nine Horcruxes one by one, and golden soul power gradually surged out of his knighthood, quickly swimming along the soul path in his body.
Nine dim Horcruxes began to glow faintly, and the resonance of metal resonated sharply in the hollow underground tomb. (To be continued.) )
