Chapter 11: The Dark Scepter
This gloomy cave was not very deep, the passage was only more than 100 meters, and the process was very smooth, and it only took Li De and Arashiyama a few minutes to reach the end of the cave. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info The end of the cave is very spacious, like a large living room, with a stone platform in the center of the cave, and the stone platform is surrounded by black stone slabs that have been destroyed.
"Six-pointed Star Array?" Although the black stone slabs around the stone platform had been destroyed, Li De could still get a glimpse of the texture of the stone slabs, which shocked Li De.
"Master, that breath of death emanates from this stone platform!" Standing beside the stone platform, Hei Mang slowly appeared.
"Hmm!" Li De nodded slightly, Li De was the most sensitive to the perception of dead air, as soon as he came here, he sensed that this stone platform was filled with a rich dead air, but it was not the source of dead air, these dead qi were just remnants.
"That stone platform is just a vessel, the things that were sealed on it have left, these dead breaths are just what it remains, you two help me put these stone slabs together, maybe I can find a clue from them!" Li De said in a deep voice.
"Yes, master!" Hei Mang and Arashiyama replied, and then, under the guidance of Li De, they restored the destroyed stone slabs one by one.
After more than an hour, Li De restored the stone slabs around the stone platform, and they could roughly see the six-pointed star array engraved on the stone slabs.
"It turned out to be a dark sealing formation!" Although Li De was not so proficient in the formation, he still had some dabbling in it, and he could roughly see the basic information of the six-pointed star array. "And judging from the magic symbols on the magic circle, the age is very old, probably from the ancient period!"
Most of the magic symbols on the six-pointed star array are very obscure, and they are very different from the current magic symbols, but they are in the same vein, and many similar traces can be found.
"In this way, it makes sense, why this valley has such a strong dark aura, probably because this magic circle was broken, and the dark demon core in the magic circle was shattered. Li De guessed leisurely. "It's just that why did you use the dark circle to seal it, could it be that that thing can only be suppressed by the power of darkness?"
"Master, come and see!" At this time, Hei Mang's voice sounded in Li De's mind.
When Li De heard the sound, he saw that Hei Mang's whole body was glowing with dark magic, and he was standing by the wall of the cave very nervously, staring at the white bones not far in front of him vigilantly.
"Huh?" After seeing the white bone, Li De was slightly startled, when he came here just now, his spiritual power had already scanned this place, but he didn't find this white bone.
Li De and Arashiyama walked over quickly and came to the white bones, but they didn't dare to act recklessly.
"Hum!" Li De frantically poured his spiritual power into this white bone, but this white bone seemed to not exist, Li De's spiritual power was completely empty, which made his father frightened, but he did not stop there, and tested it many times in a row, and finally confirmed that this white bone could not be sensed by spiritual power, which made him stunned.
"Master, you see there seem to be a few lines next to this white bone. At this time, Arashiyama, who was standing on the left side of the white bone, suddenly said loudly.
After Li De heard the sound, he immediately looked towards the place where Lan Shan was talking, and indeed found a few lines of small characters, but these fonts were very unfamiliar, and Li De didn't know what they meant for a while.
Under the vigilance of Hei Mang and Lan Shan, Li De carefully copied these words, and then took out the books about words that he had placed in the space ring and began to consult them.
Since the beginning of historical records, the continent of Tirius has existed for at least a million years of civilization, and many civilizations have been born in these millions of years, even the human race has a very large number of languages, and many ancient languages have now been lost.
Li De naturally couldn't know all the languages and characters, so in order to make it easy to use when he went out, Li De brought a lot of books about writing, in addition to books on geography and climate.
"It turned out to be the text of the Dark Church, so the identity of this person is likely to be a member of the Dark Church!" After flipping through several books, Li De finally found a few similar words in a book introducing the Dark Church, which made Li De excited.
After more than ten minutes, Li De finally understood the general meaning of these lines.
The original identity of the owner of this white bone was actually the Pope of the Dark Holy See, this Pope didn't know whether he suddenly woke up, put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha on the spot, or for some other reason, he actually found the owner of the Necronomicon Ring who was harmful to all directions and had a big battle, and finally he exhausted his vitality and after killing the owner of the Necromantic Ring, he sealed the Necromantic Ring in this cave with the Dark Sealing Circle, and he himself died.
It is rumored that the Necromantic Ring is a hoodoo left behind by a demigod-level necromancer ten thousand years ago, which was short-lived on the continent more than a thousand years ago, and suddenly disappeared after causing several tragic undead disasters, but who would have thought that this thing was actually sealed in the depths of the Cold Wind Forest.
"It seems that history is written by the victors, and after the defeat of the Dark Curia to the Bright Sect, it was branded with evil marks by the Bright Sect, and it is difficult to turn over now!" Li De sighed leisurely.
About 9,000 years ago, a great war broke out between the Holy See of Light and the Holy See of Darkness, and the already declining Holy See was completely defeated under the long-planned attack of the Holy See of Light. Then the Dark See became synonymous with evil, and henceforth it was like a rat crossing the street being chased and beaten.
In fact, the nature of the Dark Curia may be dark, but it is definitely not evil, as can be seen from the dead Dark Pope.
After briefly recounting the process of sealing the Ring of Necromancy, the Dark Pope concludes by mentioning that he hopes that the Dark Scepter, the holy relic of the Dark Curia that he had buried under the stone platform, would be returned to the Dark Curia hiding in the Dark Land.
"Dark Scepter?" Li De couldn't help but whisper excitedly.
The Dark Scepter, a sacred relic of the Dark Holy See, is also an artifact, one of the few artifacts on the continent, and its value can be imagined.
"Hei Mang, dismantle the stone platform!" Li De said to Hei Mang.
"Boom!" After hearing the sound, Hei Mang suddenly turned into a black flame and smashed into the stone platform, and the stone platform exploded without any struggle under the impact of Hei Mang.
After the stone platform was razed to the ground, a dark staff appeared in front of Li De's eyes, only to see that the head of this staff was the shape of a dark crown, and the crown was inlaid with a huge dark core, and the body of the staff was imprinted with various magic symbols, exuding a noble and mysterious atmosphere.
At the same time, there was a faint coercion escaping, which made Li De and the three of them depressed. Fortunately, this kind of coercion is only inadvertently revealed by itself, if it is under the urging of people, Li De and they will not be tightly suppressed, and they will already tremble under its divine power.
