Chapter 4: The Touch of Death
Sending Princess Della off to the third floor of the museum.
The hired staff were all off duty, most of the royal knights followed Jared to escort Dale, and the servants except for those on duty all went to rest. The whole museum is very empty, and because of the influence of mysterious props, the lights always produce some special colors and shaking.
Butler Feiqi handed Clear Sky a folder: "Miss, this is the record made by the archaeological team today. ”
The Clear Sky folder looked through the contents and asked, "Where is the painted sacrificial clay idol I received today?" ”
"Put it in the fourth sealing compartment. Mr. Irish said the clay idol was supposed to come from the ancient Miller Highlander tribe and was most likely the burial object of the leader of the tribal alliance.
This sacrificial clay idol is so beautifully made, the identity of the person sealed inside must be very noble. ”
Irish is the leader of Clear Sky's hiring of archaeologists and is highly valued for his solid archaeological knowledge and experience.
Clear Sky followed Feige to the fourth sealing compartment.
The painted sacrificial clay idol stands in the middle, surrounded by a light film, which not only has the effect of preventing theft but also limits the diffusion of mysterious energy in the mysterious props.
Clear Sky lifted the seal on the clay idol, circled around it, and said to Feige, "Can you tell this is a living sacrifice clay puppet?" ”
Feige replied respectfully: "Miss, I have been working in this museum for thirty years, and I am also very fond of these ancient things, so I have taught myself a lot of knowledge related to archaeology.
This painted clay idol has been restored protectively and can be placed on the second floor as an exhibit. I think such a beautiful work of art will definitely attract more visitors to our museum. ”
The clear sky touched the mud idol, and the eyes gradually turned ice crystals, and the temperature in the room also dropped.
"I can hear you being conceited about your archaeological knowledge, but I have to tell you that this is a fake."
Hearing Clear Sky say that this was a replica, Feige was taken aback: "This, this can't be!" I have dated the pigment and material of this clay sculpture, and it is at least 5,000 years old. ”
"I can't see it, I don't blame you...... I almost got scammed by it too. Paints and materials are indeed at least 5,000 years old, but things were made not so long ago, even this morning. ”
Feiqi still couldn't believe it: "Miss, how do you see it?" ”
"Because it's not just a mystical item, it's a word of arcane art that has been completed. The contents of the shell will quickly burst out, and they are extremely destructive.
If you don't want this museum, which you've been guarding for thirty years, to be destroyed by the battle that is about to break out, hurry up and set up a battlefield for me. ”
As if to confirm the clear sky, a crack suddenly appeared on the painted sacrificial clay idol without warning.
Feige finally believed Clear Sky's words.
Because although a single mysterious item will cause some strange events due to its own mysterious energy, it will not change itself without external destruction or without forming a secret language.
There are more and more cracks on the clay idol, indicating that a secret word has been activated.
A large area of ice mist flowers bloomed in layers.
Although Fei Qi had never seen Clear Sky move, Clear Sky's strength had long been transmitted from Angry Waves City to Holy Lun City. Being able to be so valued by Clear Sky shows that the things inside the mud idol must be very strong.
There are many precious ancient artifacts stored in this museum, not to mention the destruction of the whole thing, even if you break one or two pieces, it is an incalculable loss.
There are well-established conservation measures in the museum.
Feige sounded the alarm before activating the space subsidence spell in the fourth isolation room.
The walls of the fourth chamber detached and collapsed, standing in a void of intertwined lines.
Feige didn't run out, he took out his magic wand and nervously aimed it at the colored sculpture sacrificial clay idol, which had many cracks like spider webs.
"Miss...... The magic trap set here can cause a space to collapse for three minutes. I've raised the alarm, and the nearest patrol will be able to come soon. ”
A piece of clay peeled off the clay idol's head, and a blood-red glow shot out of the black hole.
"Three minutes is enough, you can protect yourself."
"Yes, yes, miss...... Be careful. ”
At this moment, a large amount of black smoke came out from the crack of the mud idol, and the black smoke condensed into a death scythe and slashed at the clear sky. At the same time, black smoke continued to emerge from the cracks, converging into a black floating ghost. The ghost has twisted and exaggerated features, and screams emanate from its mouth.
The sonic attack caused the incapable Feige to fall directly to the ground.
The Grim Reaper's scythe slammed into the clear sky and slashed through the middle of her body.
Death's Touch is the arcane language that Clear Sky is now confronting with.
Through the query of mobile phone information, Luke unlocks the secret of the painted clay idol for Clear Sky.
There is only one painted sacrificial clay idol of the ancient Miller Highlanders that has been excavated, in the hands of the Abyss Temple. The area where the ancient Miller Highlanders live is in the Tedgar Hills, so the secret art passed down by the Ancient Miller Highlanders is also a secret technique system that the Abyss Temple has been studying in depth.
It has to do with the Abyss Temple, so it can't help but attract Luke's attention.
He searched for information related to the Abyss Temple and the ancient Miller Highlanders, and finally found the secret technique of "Death's Touch".
The ancient Miller Highlanders worshipped death, and were once powerful under the influence of the radiation of the ancient Glittering Gold civilization. Although the ancient Miller Highlanders perished in that ancient civilization war, the barbarians living in the Tedgar Hills inherited the legacy of the ancient Miller Highlanders. It's just that barbarians do not study the secrets of death, but have the courage to fear death.
The Abyssal Mages who embraced the Abyss were interested in the Ancient Miller Highlanders, which was one of the reasons why the Temple of the Abyss chose the Tedgar Hills.
The "Touch of Death" is a secret technique developed by the Temple of the Abyss to study the ancient Miller Highlanders.
The ritual is the use of oil paints and clay with mystical energies to seal living beings in clay idols. The negative energy and spiritual energy that people explode before death transforms the clay idol into a secret language to be activated.
The stronger the human sacrifice, the more lethal it will be when the arcane language is activated.
In the Abyssal Temple dungeon in Epoch, the "Touch of Death" can be found everywhere. For players who can get there, it's just a trap for delaying time.
Clear Sky didn't recognize it as a "Death Touch" at first, mainly because the trap item really didn't impress her, and this time it was made into a very confusing ancient artifact.
Before using 5000, there was a mysterious energy oil paint and clay, and the clay idols made were definitely not ordinary characters.
Don't treat it like a normal trap item.
At this time, the fourth isolation room opened the space trap, which was originally used to trap thieves, but now it can be used as a battlefield.
Clear Sky looked at his chest, and the scythe that ran through his body did not leave any wounds. The "Grim Reaper", which is condensed by the negative energy generated by death, has no ability to attack entities. The image it creates and the scythe it wields is meant to put mental pressure on the attacked, and the target it attacks is the soul.
Panic, fear, confusion, panic...... All negative emotions are generated, and the soul attacks of the "Grim Reaper" will take advantage of the void.
Feige was so flustered and scared that he was hit by the voice of the "Grim Reaper".
This kind of attack can't be prevented or avoided, and what can be fought against it is a strong and all-round spiritual barrier.
The player's summary is: the more gorgeous the operation, the higher the damage received, and it is a welfare monster of the handicap party.
Clear Sky is fearless of the so-called life and death, and knows what is in front of him and is mentally prepared. Therefore, the first knife that came to the crackle was directly ignored, and the second knife that came was also treated as a breeze.
The spiritual barrier was impeccable, and the "Grim Reaper" cracked more than ten times in a row, and the knife was not injured.
ss!
ss!
ss!
…
"Hey, stop......" Clear Sky swept the placket of his clothes, and said to the grim reaper who was doing all kinds of horrors in front of him, "Even if you let you crack until dawn, you won't be able to hurt me." Before the time limit of the Space Collapse Trap expires, I'm going to destroy your secret art.
It's better to take advantage of the limited time and have a chat. ”
Sure enough, the Grim Reaper stopped attacking, staring at the clear sky and making a miserable voice: "Impossible, there can't be a person who is mentally invulnerable. Even the most fearless savage, the Grim Reaper can find weakness in its spirit.
What the hell are you? ”
Clear Sky is a tool in Luke's eyes, and how can a tool have a mental weakness?
"I am Clear Sky, an elf. I have in my hands the Book of Calamity that your Abyss Temple wants, and two of your Abyss Apostles have died at my hands.
To be able to create such a powerful 'Death's Touch', you must also be one of the Abyss Apostles. ”
Such a powerful "Death Touch" can't hurt the other party by half a point, and it is extremely humiliating to the Abyss Apostle behind the secret art.
Moreover, the Abyss Temple has repeatedly failed in front of Clear Sky, which also makes the Abyss Apostle even more suspicious of Clear Sky's identity.
"I'm Bradley Moores, the Fourth Apostle of the Abyss Temple, and I've heard a lot about you. Clear Sky, you know our Abyss Temple very well, and your courage to face the Grim Reaper's harvest is even more proof of that.
I don't remember that you were once a member of the Abyss Temple, does it mean that the upper echelons of the temple have your people infiltrated in?
But ......"
"But I know a lot of secrets that the higher-ups of the so-called Abyss Temple don't know." With an incomprehensible smile, Clear Sky said to Morris: "Therefore, this inner ghost, you have to consider it at a higher level. ”
Higher!
It's the Abyss Apostles who founded the Abyss Temple.
Morris, who was hidden near the museum, couldn't help but shake when he was shocked.
It took a hundred years for the Abyssal Apostles to trust and unite with each other to bounce back from the defeat of Oulu Academy and create the Abyss Temple. They had never doubted anyone's loyalty to the group, but what had happened in the intervening period was too strange.
The Abyss Temple was passively restrained everywhere in the face of the clear sky, and the two Abyss Apostles were lost in her hands one after another. This time, in the face of the "Touch of Death", Clear Sky was able to make the Reaper's attack completely ineffective so easily...... If it weren't for the fact that he had known the characteristics of the "Touch of Death" for a long time, how dare he stand there and not dodge.
And those who know the characteristics of "Death's Touch" ...... Only the Abyss Apostles who developed this secret technique?
"No...... Don't think about dividing the relationship between our apostles. ”
"Did I say anything?" Clear Sky released a magic clock and said to Morrith, "There's a minute left, is there anything else you'd like to say?" ”
Morris couldn't help but roar, "Who is it, who told you our secret!" ”
"It's not you anyway!" Reciting a spell, Clear Sky drew a golden sword from the air: "Morris, you should be in the city of Saint-Lun." I'm going to kill the next Abyss Apostle...... It's you! ”
As the incantation was chanted, golden light shone down from above, and pillars of light enveloped the clay idols inside. On the outer wall of the golden pillar of light, white-gold ancient glittering gold words flashed, and the powerful energy domineering severed the black mist connecting the god of death.
Immediately after, Clear Sky threw out the golden sword in his hand. The golden sword swirled in the air, cracking the deprived Reaper of energy into two ends and stabbing deep into the clay idol.
Death dissipates in a wail.
The clay idol, already full of cracks, cracked, and the scattered clay rubble collapsed to the ground. In the center of the clay statue is a knight in armor, with a golden sword in his chest. The knight has long since died, and judging by the style of the armor, he should be a high-ranking knight of the Royal Knights.
Higher rank than Jared.
At this time, the statute of limitations of the space collapse trap ends, and the fourth isolation room gradually returns to its original state. Clear Sky waved his hand to disperse the golden light in the room, and the golden sword turned into gold dust and dissipated, and the knight's body fell to the ground.
Clear Sky uses magic to wake up a fainted Feige.
When he opened his eyes, Feiqi first screamed in fright, danced around with a magic wand, and then recovered from the panic after being released by Clear Sky and another mental calming magic.
"Miss......" Feiqi got up from the ground and hid behind the clear sky, and asked in a panic, "What happened, what was it just now?" ”
"A ghost summoned by a secret art has been killed by me. The Dead Knight is a sacrifice in the ritual of the Secret Language, do you want to see it? ”
"Yes, yes......" Hearing that the terrible ghost had been killed by Clear Sky, Feige suddenly became emboldened. He walked over to the corpse, looked at his face, and shouted in shock again: "It's Baron Sam Alwyn!" Vice-Captain of the 3rd Brigade of the Royal Knights...... He, how could he die here.
Miss Weathersky, do you know who did it? ”
"I don't know." Hiding the Abyss Temple and Morris, Clear Sky turned around and walked out, and said, "Since the deceased is a royal knight, you go to the relevant personnel to carry the body away." You know what happened to you, just tell the person who checked the eucalyptus truthfully, and remember to tell the other party who sent the mud idol.
It's okay don't bother me...... I just moved in and died, which affected my mood so much. ”
Faced with Baron Alva's corpse, Feige replied dumbfoundedly: "Yes, it's Miss, I'll take care of it." ”
Clear Sky left Feige to deal with the aftermath and prepared to go back to his room to sleep. But as soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he saw Jared rushing up in a panic.
His armor was badly damaged, and he had bleeding wounds on his body, apparently having just experienced a great battle.
Clear Sky hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”
"Miss Sunny Sky...... We've been attacked by unknown people, and Princess Dale is missing! ”
