Chapter 286: Undead Spear
The next day, Dr. Lee arranged for the group to continue searching the surrounding area in the hope of making more discoveries.
Everyone picked up their equipment and moved around, and the search range this time was 500 meters wider than yesterday.
The hermit came to Dr. Lee's tent and was about to see what new arrangements Dr. Lee had made.
Dr. Li sat in front of his laptop computer and greeted the Xuanji hermit when he saw him come in, "Mr. Yu, you are here, guess what new I have discovered?"
The Xuanji hermit wondered, "Could it be that Dr. Li found something?"
So he walked over to Dr. Lee.
Dr. Li pointed to the computer and said, "Mr. Yu, do you know where the spear came from?"
The hermit was a little puzzled: "I don't know where the spear came from. ”
Dr. Lee smiled, "This spear is actually called The spear of the dead. ”
The Xuanji hermit was shocked: "What is the spear of the undead, and why is it called the spear of the undead?"
Dr. Lee pushed the glasses on his nose: "This stems from an old legend. ”
The hermit didn't quite understand, although he had heard the story of this spear before, the details and origin were not very clear, so when Dr. Li mentioned it, he immediately became interested.
"Then Dr. Li, you can tell me about it. ”
Dr. Li glanced at the computer, "I stumbled upon a document on WikiLeaks some time ago, which was provided by an unknown netizen. That's all about the curse of the Gartnu family and the spear. But the page was later deleted, but thankfully I copied it in time. ”
The Xuanji hermit seemed to understand something, but he still didn't quite understand, so he continued to ask Dr. Li, "Doctor, then please tell me about this spear, I'm very interested." ”
Dr. Lee cleared his throat and continued to tell the Xuanji hermit about the origin of the spear.
IT TURNS OUT THAT THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, THERE WAS AN ANCIENT KINGDOM, AND THE KING WAS CALLED KING COBRA.
King Coppola was very annoyed because he had been at war with his neighbors for many years and had been unable to conquer them for a long time.
Because there was an evil giant named Kanon in the enemy's camp, and every time he fought a battle, he used evil means to defeat King Coppola's army, so the king was very troubled, so he gathered everyone to discuss how to defeat the giant.
After some discussion, the High Priest Sima Ke came up with a clever plan, which was to lure the giant Canon into the mirror world with blood, and then capture him with magic.
For this purpose, the high priest smelted a spear out of celestial iron, named the spear of the dead, and then engraved a spell and signed the initials of King Coppola's name: K•C.
The spear of the dead had powerful mana to subdue the giant Canon, so the High Priest ordered a warrior Buro to lead the giant Canon to the mirror world under the guidance of the others.
Later, the High Priest Sima Ke used magic to trap Canon, and the Warrior Buro killed Canon with the Spear of the Undead.
However, due to the fact that Canon usually kills many innocent people, a deep aura of anger has been condensed in his body, and his soul has condensed into a black-gray human form in an attempt to continue to resist.
The Grand Priest Sima Ke had no choice but to seal Canon's soul in a crystal bottle and seal the mouth of the bottle with a cap engraved with a spell.
After deliberation, King Coppola decided that the Grand Priest Sima Ke and the Warrior Buro would take the crystal bottle to a remote no-man's land in a foreign land and seal Canon forever.
The Grand Priest Sima Ke built a temple on a desolate hill and sealed the crystal bottle containing the soul of Canon forever under the altar. Just in case, the High Priest Sima can insert the Spear of the Dead into the stone on the altar, hoping to imprison Kanon forever by relying on the power of the Spear of the Dead.
However, as time passed, the messenger who guarded the temple had long since disappeared, and the local mountain people only learned from the messenger that the temple was sealed with an evil spirit, and everyone was not allowed to approach the temple.
However, Canon, who was sealed in the crystal bottle, cracked in the crystal bottle as time passed, and the seal gradually lost its mana. Canon absorbed the gloomy aura from the ground from outside the rift, and his body grew stronger.
However, due to the shock of the undead spear, he could not escape from the confinement of the altar, so he had to be ready to move, trying to break out of the forbidden place one day.
It wasn't until later that General Gartnu found the ruins of the temple and pulled out the spear of the dead that sealed Canon, which unlocked the long-imprisoned Canon.
So Kanon agreed to Gartnu's request to help him win the war. However, Kanon saw through Gartnu's mind and cast a spell on the Gartnu family to be on the safe side, much to Gartnu's annoyance.
Later, General Gartnu and his descendants continued to use the spear to summon the evil spirit Kanon and help them remove any threat.
The Gartnu family grew stronger and stronger, amassing countless wealth, but there was always a shadow on their heads, the curse from the Canon, which had haunted them for many years.
At this point, Dr. Lee paused and took a sip of water.
At this time, the Xuanji hermit already had a better understanding of the origin of the spear of the undead.
It turned out that this was King Coppola's magic weapon to imprison the evil spirit Canon, and with the deterrence of the spear, Canon was at a loss.
But now where exactly the spear is hidden, the Xuanji hermit knows nothing.
In whose hands is it in its hands, or is it buried in the ground?
And what about Canon's whereabouts, is he dead, or is he still wandering in the wilderness?
The Xuanji hermit knew that Yuxi and Canon fell off the cliff and died together, but later they did not find Yuxi's whereabouts, nor did they see Canon's body.
So this matter became an unsolved case in everyone's hearts, but because the war ended, it was impossible to find Yuxi's whereabouts, so the Hujia army had to return to the Central Plains.
Since then, the whereabouts of the undead spear have been unknown, and the traces of the evil spirit Canon have become a mystery.
But after many years, there was no war, and there was no trace of Canon, so these events were drowned in the long river of history and gradually forgotten.
"And where is this undead spear now?"
The hermit asked Dr. Lee that he was curious to know the whereabouts of the spear.
"I don't know, but what has been discovered recently proves that this was once an ancient battlefield, that is, the ancient battlefield where the Hujia army won this war. Therefore, the above attaches great importance to it, and asks us to come here to investigate the clues and see if we can be lucky enough to find the undead spear. ”
The Xuanji hermit sighed: "Even if you know that the Undead Spear is still in the world, where can you find it? This ancient battlefield is very large, and it is difficult to investigate, if the Undead Spear is not here, but has been kept in someone's hands, then how can you find it?"
When Dr. Li heard the words of the hermit of Xuanji, he pondered for a long time and did not make a sound.
He thought for a moment and said, "But there is an order from above, we must find the whereabouts of the spear, if we can't find it on the ancient battlefield, then go to the surrounding area to see if we can find any trace of the spear of the undead." In short, we have been given funds and equipment, as well as some manpower, and our expert group must complete this task. ”
The Xuanji hermit looked at the wilderness outside and couldn't help but sigh: "This desolate western region is uninhabited, where can we go to find the spear of the undead." Not to mention looking for a spear here, there is not even a single animal in this land, let alone trying to find a spear. Look at this barren place, where it looks like a place where good things are hidden!"
Dr. Li followed the gaze of the hermit of Xuanji and looked at the wilderness outside the tent, not only were there no too high slopes around, but even the trees were very scarce.
As far as the eye can see, there are only a few not-so-tall barren slopes, covered with a few sparse hardy trees.
At this time, the ancient battlefield was not as good as the situation back then, and now it is extremely desolate.
Dr. Li said, "Mr. Yu, I know that you are familiar with the past and the present, and you may know a thing or two about the situation back then, so I specially asked you to assist the team this time, so please tell us everything you know, so that we can find the undead spear faster." ”
The Xuanji hermit pondered for a moment: "Dr. Li, I know the intentions of you and the chief, you came to me because you have high expectations for me, I know in my heart. Although I know about this war that took place thousands of years ago, I don't know anything about the whereabouts of the Undead Spear. ”
Dr. Li was a little disappointed: "Mr. Yu, we don't ask you to provide the specific location of the undead spear, but you still know something about what happened in this war, maybe you can find the whereabouts of the spear in these clues." ”
The hermit had no choice but to tell Dr. Li: "I know something, and I also know that General Gartanu lost his spear during the war, and the evil spirit Kanon does not know where it is, but I don't know where the spear is. ”
Dr. Li smiled: "Mr. Yu still seems to know some things, I really want to know who is in the end of that spear?"
When the hermit heard Dr. Li's questioning, he fell into a memory: "At that time, the spear was lost by General Gartnu, and it seems that it was picked up by the Hujia army, and then killed and wounded Kanon with the spear, but the spear was not seen after that. ”
Dr. Li was a little surprised: "So, the spear of the undead is in the hands of the Hu family army?"
The Xuanji hermit shook his head: "The Hujia army didn't take the spear in the end, and I didn't see it until later. ”
Dr. Lee wondered, "Where did the spear go, did it run away on its own legs?"
A figure suddenly flashed in the mind of the Xuanji hermit, the black figure bent down and secretly picked up the undead spear and hid it in the cloak, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Could it be that the wizard took it?"
The hermit was shocked, and he suddenly thought of the wizard, the sorcerer who was eerie and silent on the battlefield, who had been assisting General Gartnu in commanding this war, that was if he had stolen the spear and disappeared from nowhere, hiding in an unknown place.
When Dr. Li heard the voice of the Xuanji hermit, his face was surprised: "What? You say it's a wizard? Who is a wizard and who is he?"
Xuanji Hermit looked embarrassed: "The wizard is the assistant and military advisor of General Gartnu, he has been helping Gartnu command the battle, General Gartnu trusts him very much, but the wizard's whereabouts are uncertain, he has disappeared since Gartnu's defeat, and no one knows where he went." ”
Dr. Li touched the stubble on his chin: "I see, I didn't know at first, I heard you say this, it seems that it is very likely that the wizard took the spear of the undead, we have to report this situation to our superiors, it is very likely to find the spear according to this clue." If necessary, I asked my superiors to help us find the whereabouts of the wizard. ”
Xuanji Hermit knows the weight of Dr. Li's words, behind the headquarters research institute, there are more powerful forces supporting the work of the research institute, including intelligence information networks and necessary armed force support, this research institute is by no means an ordinary ordinary research institution, it has a strong background behind it, and it is a mysterious organization to the outside world.
The Xuanji hermit couldn't help but be ashamed, he didn't expect Dr. Li to take what he said so seriously, and even regarded the wizard he mentioned as an important clue.
However, the Xuanji hermit also understood that in that chaos, the opportunity for the wizard to take the opportunity to steal the spear of the undead was not impossible, perhaps he stole the spear.
