Chapter 42: Water of Life? World Runes!

The interior of the Shining Light Tower is large, far more magnificent than it looks from the outside.

Cascading corridors and stairways crisscross the city, and there are even many esoteric runes engraved with arcane runes, and magically powered elevators connect up and down.

Guarded by experienced and loyal guards, each of whom is a carefully selected and trained veteran, this is the first shackle.

The second link to the Wanzai Well is the Xinghe Hall, which is locked underground, and it also needs to pass through a number of deep and lofty corridors and lifting devices.

Margusa led the way slowly, the end of the scepter striking on the marble floor with a muffled "thump".

She didn't say anything all the way, and it wasn't until she passed through the area guarded by the guards that she broke her silence: "Speaking of which, you must be very curious, why did we hide the truth about Wanzai Well?" ”

All the people pricked up their ears.

"Actually, the reason why our ancestors built Helia and the Tower of Shimmering Light here is because they discovered the source of the water of life underground."

Margusa didn't look back, his hoarse and piercing voice was still the same, and he whispered: "It's an ancient relic, but it's the size of a palm, but it contains amazing magical power, and if it is released all at once, the power it produces is enough to destroy the world." ”

[Sure enough! The water of life was created by the world's rune fragments! Lunithia shouted excitedly.

Except for Josh, who already knew about this, everyone else who didn't know the details couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate, for fear that if they didn't pay attention, they would miss some important information.

Margusa let out a long sigh, "Ah...... We made the mistake of thinking that the water of life was a gift from nature and the gods.

"But it wasn't until hundreds of years ago, when the Cult of the Light was founded, and the founder's attempt to control this transcendent power to resurrect the dead, almost caused a catastrophe, that we discovered the flaws of this artifact—it was extremely unstable and dangerous, and we had to seal it up completely."

As if guessing the taciturn Yorick's thoughts, Marcusa added, "As for the Twilight Brotherhood's eaux-de-vie, it's just a tributary that often takes weeks to fill a vial, and they know how to use it, so we don't interfere." ”

Hearing this, Zhendakaya hesitated for a moment and asked, "So those souls wandering in the Well of Ten Thousand Years are the founders of the Light-Loving Ones hundreds of years ago...... Is it? ”

Margusa glanced back at her, retracted his gaze and shook his head, "To be exact, the souls of all those who have used the water of life over thousands of years have gathered here. ”

At this moment, even Josh couldn't help but be shocked.

Hailia only discovered the defect of the world rune hundreds of years ago, but according to the classics, the Fukukoshima civilization originated from the Great Westward Migration 5,000 years ago, almost the same age as the Shurima Empire.

The souls of the dead who had accumulated 5,000 years were all pulled back to the material realm by the water of life......

[Don't think so much. Lunicia guessed Josh's thoughts, "Since your master said that it almost caused a catastrophe, they must have a remedy. 】

As Lunicia explains, Margusa then adds, "The rune mages of that generation tried their best, even at the cost of their own lives, to finally destroy most of the undead.

"After that, every once in a while, the Shining Light Tower will send a group of gifted spiritual mages to the Wanzai Well to exterminate the undead, until a hundred years ago, Elder Holden disappeared, and another keystone that opened the door of the Wanzai Well was lost......"

Margusa's words came to an abrupt end, as if he didn't want a few more people to hear a deeper layer of secrecy.

In the vast corridor, there was no sound except the scepter hitting the ground, footsteps, or breathing.

The passage of time is completely lost in the dark underground, and I don't know how far I have traveled.

They stopped until they reached an empty hall surrounded by stone pillars and carved with obscure geometric symbols of marble and gold.

Josh and the others were stunned by the magnificent view of the Star Convergence Hall, and the entire Heliya, and even the Vasani Vault, were dwarfed by this place.

Tens of thousands of bright points of light shimmer on the vast dark dome, drawing a brilliant and endless galaxy, perfectly corresponding to the stars in the sky seen in the middle of the night.

Every angle, every pillar of stone, every wire of gold, draws the eye to the magically constructed starry sky, with the occasional comet streaked across the horizon and the rest of the stars moving slowly at a speed that is difficult to discern with the naked eye.

"In the entire land of rune, only Fuguang Island has this wonder." Margusa took in everyone's expressions, shrugged loose skin, and the corners of his mouth showed a confident smile, "This is the result of the joint efforts of generations of wise people from Fukumitsu Island. ”

As he spoke, Margusa walked to the large round platform in the center of the hall.

There are no more stairs to further down, but it's clear that the Starry Hall is not the stratum of the Shining Tower.

"The stars will guide us in the right direction, but it will take 10,000 years for the stars to return to their right place and start the path of enlightenment."

The entire Circle Hall echoed with Margusa's loud voice, "We need to turn back time, to the enlightening moment hundreds of years ago." ”

Margusa asked the group to wait for a moment on the podium, while she walked to the podiums around the hall and reached out to the alcove in the stone pillar to adjust the scale.

The stars overhead shifted and shifted, and it didn't take long for them to accelerate their rise and fall, and a silvery light suddenly shone on the intersection of the edge of the raised round platform.

Margusa repeated the action and adjusted it on the other seven stone pillars, and the light of the interstellar convergence far exceeded the illumination of the sacred stone of the Great Temple, which was extremely dazzling.

"The stars are prosperous, and the avenue must be opened...... "Margusa's eyes were distracted, and his mouth muttered.

It starts with movement and ends with stopping.

An unknown constellation appeared above the dome, and as the ninth ray of light appeared in the center of the hall, a mystical array of arcane runes flickered on the surface.

The stone pillars began to rotate and rise, scattering light to form a large web that was as intricate as a spider's web.

There were no lifting devices on display, and the floor was settled, and everyone was amazed at the wonder of this arcane structure.

In a moment, they descended from the Hall of the Stars to the ground, the mechanism clicked out of nowhere, and the area in the center of the round platform continued down to the spiral staircase.

The light of the sacred stone illuminates the path, and the environment that stretches down is narrow but not dark.

"Below is the main hall in front of the ten thousand wells."

Margusa had no intention of going down with everyone, and returned to Ling Ran's eyes focused on Josh.

"This journey is full of dangers, just find out the current situation of the undead, don't risk your life, in case of sudden emergency, you need to protect Josh......"

She paused for a moment, "He'll perform a warp to teleport you away and back to the surface." ”

It just so happened that Josh, who had just stepped into the spiral staircase, turned around and looked at Margusa.

Noticing the inexplicable glint in her eyes, Josh raised his eyebrows, nodded in acknowledgement, and continued down the spiral staircase into the ground.

Even if you know some things, bury them deep in your heart and be good for everyone.
