From time to time, rock ash fell from the black smoke emitted from the lava mountain, and the charred ground became gray. After crossing a lava river for a day and walking around the lava mountain for most of the circle, suddenly a dark castle appeared on the side of the mountain.

As he walked, Rehogg remembered something again, and he said, "Lord Kora, this time I am in the country of Goniz, and I actually emit the same magic as your alchemy. I've heard you say that your ghoul art is derived from necromancy from the ancient chronicle period (before the Sacred Garden), and it is forbidden magic that has long been lost. Could it be that there is anyone other than you who can do this kind of magical beast?"

Kora's eyes twinkled.

Vicky immediately said, "You said you saw the same magic as your lord?"

Rehogg looked at the surrounding scene, the ghouls and monsters in and out of the forest, and said, "It's not quite a bit, but I can't be mistaken about the feeling and smell." ”

Vicky looked at her lord.

Cola's expression was the same as usual, nothing special, and she said slowly, "Maybe I'm not the only one. Although it has been thousands of years, it must be something that has existed on this shijie, I can learn it, and so can others. ”

Rehogg had been watching Chloa's expression carefully before nodding.

Before they knew it, several people had walked to the castle. This castle is not a castle, but a huge castle made up of several cities connected to each other. The exterior walls of the castle are made of black basalt, and the walls are polished so smooth and bright that there is not a single gap between the brick walls, as if they were a whole.

It is a typical Gothic-style building, and more than a dozen basalt statues of the same material stand around the building. Each of these statues is more than 30 meters tall, and they do not depict fierce beasts and monsters, but statues of people wearing black cloaks and holding magic wands.

The statues stood facing each other, some holding up their staffs, some with their arms outstretched, some raising their scabbards, and so on, all with different expressions and movements. But there is one thing they have in common, the magic wand made of basalt in their hands is bubbling with a faint green magical light, which is nearly ten meters high.

Rehogg looked up and said, "Mistress Kora's castle is truly magnificent, the door to the interior is as tall as these statues. Such a 'black beauty' (referring to the castle) can be worthy of the status of the king of the underworld, Lord Kora. ”

Vicky said: "The lord doesn't live here, and the lord doesn't like the environment here. So the Lord's Father doesn't visit you these days because she's not here these days. ”

Rehog was slightly stunned and said, "So, this is just one of your stations, Lord Kora?" He was surprised when he saw that Vicky was nodding at him with a slight smile.

Standing in front of the huge stone door, Cora said to Rehog, "I'm tired and want to go in and rest for a while." ”

"Well, yes, then I won't bother you, but I don't know where my guardian is now?" Rehog didn't dare to get angry when he saw that Cora didn't invite him in, anyway, he was here just to find out how his guardian was doing. In a place like this, he was afraid that Cora would turn his guardian into some kind of monster.

Vicky said, "This side of the castle is the private forbidden place of the lord, and others are forbidden to enter and leave at will. If you want to rest, you can go to the castle on the right to rest, and as for your guardian being treated in the laboratory on the Black Forest side, I'll ask someone to take you there in a moment, so please wait a while. ”

"I don't need to rest, I'll be waiting for you here. Seeing Kora and Vicky enter, and the huge basalt door was also closed, Rehog breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart: "I didn't expect the Shili of the King of the Underworld to be so big, and I usually see that she doesn't perform well in meetings, but she hides such a huge liliang." Is this just a station? How many places like this are there? It's not in vain to come here. ”

Inside the castle, black blankets cover this passage with no end in sight.

Vicky put her arm around Chora and asked, "Lord, the necromancy he just talked about should be ......"

"Well, it's Nethan Hera. ”

Vicky said, "This staff of the dead from thousands of years ago is indeed hidden there. It's just that over the years, we have spent so many manpower, material and financial resources to find him, but we haven't found him, and I don't know how he hid and was able to escape the pursuit of the Holy Garden. ”,

Hera muttered, "The Forbidden Dead of Müller Fischer, which is what the Muronigan dynasty called 'Mürónigan oracle'. After the book was lost from the royal palace of the Muroigan dynasty, it remained missing until we found it in a second-hand bookstore a few years ago. As you know, I've been studying 'necromancy', one of the 'forbidden magic' that has been 'sealed' by the Sacred Garden, and since I got this book, Liliang has really improved a lot in this regard. However, this "General Treatise on the Dead" is not complete, and it only records the "Life" chapter and part of the "Curse" chapter that turns corpses into monsters, and does not record the "Death" chapter that contains extremely strong instant death magic as shown in the book. ”

Vicky said: "And the 'Dark Compass' mentioned in the book seems to be an item closely related to the 'Dragon Zero', but our 'Dark Compass' mission has been sent out by the Mercenary Guild for so long, but we have not received any news, I'm afraid no one knows about the 'Dark Compass'." I have sent people to check the archives of some countries associated with the Muronigan dynasty in the past, such as Guiniz, but they have only briefly mentioned the Muroigan dynasty founded by Nissen Hera thousands of years ago, and I have not found any valuable information. ”

Chora said: "You can ask Rehog for a while, and then send someone to Guinetz to investigate this incident clearly, maybe this time you can find the clues of the 'Dark Compass' and the 'Death' chapter." ”

"Yes. Vicky made a note of them one by one, and the lord entered the bedroom around the corner.

Khola took off her clothes and was about to rest, and seeing that Vicky hadn't retreated, she asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

"Nope. Vicky said, "The subordinates just have some questions. ”

"What?"

Vicky said: "Some time ago, we met Rehog in Seabreeze City, and you Weishenme will let him come to the island where we are stationed to rest and recuperate? ”

Khola looked at her coldly for a long time, and then turned to chuckle and said, "You've been with me for so long, why haven't you grown at all?" Among the twelve palaces organized now, more than six palaces are in the hands of the Heavenly Realm, and the King of the Void Domain among the Four Kings is just an empty shelf, and the Seagod King has one palace, but because he has been performing secret missions for many years, his deputy alone has long been unable to control the Sitai brothers who are double **, and only Shili, the king of the underworld who has three palaces, is the largest. Although I've been showing weakness in the organization all these years, who will that guy from the Heavenly Realm deal with if he doesn't deal with me?"

Vicky said, "Do you want to take this opportunity to pull the two Sithai brothers to our side?"

Kora said: "The two brothers are too ambitious, and they wanted to jump out of the control of the Seagod King and set themselves up as kings in the last meeting, how could they easily pull us to our side." But if he doesn't join our shili, he may not help us. This time, you have also seen that the aggressive posture of the Heavenly Realm, Shandora can't suppress him at all, and the Sitai brothers, who are bent on being kings, naturally don't want to see the organization become the first king of the Heavenly Realm, as can be seen from the fact that they have been secretly harassed by the Heavenly Realm for so many years, but they have never been subordinated to the Heavenly Realm. ”

Wei Ji said: "But the king of heaven is not a loss at all, first the lion ** was taken away, and then the Pisces Palace is a matter of the throne, and the throne Xiangdora is clearly showing and suppressing the arrogance of the king." ”

"No, you probably don't know yet. Kora said: "At the meeting of the four kings some time ago, in order to calm the resentment in the hearts of the Heavenly Realm, the Divine Throne has decided to hand over the four leaders to the leadership of the Heavenly Realm, and among these four leaders, three of them have the strength of the seventh order or above, which is no worse than losing a lion**." ”

Wei Ji was stunned: "No, four leaders? plus the thirteen leaders controlled by the Heavenly King before, the number of leaders he controls is almost half of the thirty-six leaders of the organization!

Kora laughed, "You're still too tender, just like the throne Chandora." Although Shandora knew that the Divine Throne wanted to eradicate the Celestial Realm, she didn't know what to do, she only knew that she would use strong means to suppress the Celestial Realm, but she didn't know that this was the stupidest way. Now in the organization, there is a situation where the king of the Heaven and Realm is dominant, and the Divine Throne does not want to force the Heaven and Realm in this matter. With Shili in the Heavenly Realm, if he is really in a hurry, he can do anything. ”

Wei Ji said: "But if you don't force him, do you just raise him like this? The king of heaven will have to rebel sooner or later, and I am afraid that he will raise a tiger when the time comes." ”,

Kora shook her head: "You underestimate our Divine Throne too much, you have to know that among the four kings back then, her strength was not comparable to that of the Heavenly Realm, but Weishenmezuihou She became the Divine Seat, but the Heavenly Realm was still his Heavenly King? ”

Chloa looked at the falling magma outside the window and smiled, "Look at it, when she moves, she will never be like a child like Shandora." ”

Vicky thought about it, but still couldn't figure it out, and asked again, "Then do you think that the Divine Seat will absorb that kid from the Ice Evil to join the organization to fight against the Celestial Realm?"

It was as if Kora had heard something very funny: "Don't say that the gods can't, even Shandora wouldn't think so." ”

"But there are quite a few people in the organization who spread the word like this. ”

Chora said coldly: "Only people like Rehog would think so, they will only think about their own interests, not the interests of the organization. Recruiting Celeste Ice Evil into the Order is a burning thing, what is the most fearful thing about the Holy Garden? They don't want a second Modo Biseon to appear, and the organization has now minimized its actions in order to avoid being tracked down by GITW. And the kid who plays ice magic has the purpose of looking for Dragon Zero, whether it is the Holy Garden or GITW, sooner or later they will pay attention to him, so Shandora will only use this guy and will not want to pull him in. ”

Wei Ji nodded: "Yes, he is just a seventh-order ice magic guide, there are still a lot of such people, and the organization doesn't need to absorb him to cause trouble." The subordinates' doubts were asked, and they retreated. ”

"Well, go ahead, don't bother me again. As for the newly acquired batch of demonic beasts, leave it to Xin to deal with. ”

Vicky nodded again and said with a smile: "I just don't know if Xin is free, she likes the guardian 'Two-Headed Prison Dragon' you found for her this time." With that, he withdrew.
