Chapter 22: Atonement (5)
Luo Mu looked at the deep and dark corridor of the harem, frowned slightly, he didn't know why, he always felt that the darkness in front of him was a little unusual, but the dark environment was not his world.
Luo Mu turned his head to look at Ciris and said, "Follow me after you go in" Ciris smiled, nodded vigorously, and then logically grabbed Luo Mu's arm, Ciris moved enthusiastically and boldly, as if he wanted to rub Luo Mu's entire arm into his body, Luo Mu rolled his eyes in his heart, and pulled his arm outward, in order to ensure that his movement was convenient.
Luo Mu took a step forward with Siris, the figures of the two suddenly disappeared into the darkness, and the main hall of the palace returned to silence, if it weren't for the broken floor and the knife marks from the fight still left on the ground, there seemed to be nothing to prove that the two had come.
As soon as he stepped into the darkness, Luo Mu's left eye slowly reflected a layer of red, everything in the darkness was delicate under his left eye, and Luo Mu suddenly felt that the hidden power in his body seemed to have opened the shackles, and he was jumping softly.
And after Luo Mu took a few steps forward, he suddenly felt as if his body had passed through some invisible membrane, Luo Mu frowned and looked around the corridor, and then he found that there was a dense circle of talismans on the wall!
Luo Mu walked to the wall of the corridor, and carefully investigated, Ma Tu's soul array study course has always been denied by six relatives, and many things are taught violently if they can't be memorized, Ma Tu seems to know very well what Luo Mu and the others will encounter after embarking on the mission, and it is precisely because of this educational environment that Luo Mu has also mastered a lot of soul array knowledge in the past year.
In terms of Luo Mu's knowledge content at the moment, although he is far from being proficient in the soul array, at least there is no problem in identifying it, Luo Mu can see that the person who draws this soul array has the same heart as the person who builds the wall, and he can see from the stroke that the author of the soul array must be extremely strong and skilled, but the drawing process of this soul array is extremely rough and tight, as if something life-threatening will happen if he takes a slow step.
Luo Mu can easily identify that this soul array is a one-way isolation soul array, the power contained in the soul array is very powerful, I don't know that after a long time, it still has a complete effect, and the only function of this soul array is to make it impossible for anything in this corridor to pass through this soul array and enter the main hall of the palace
This was one of the two corridors leading to the harem, and Luo Mu could think that there must be the same soul array on the wall of the corridor on the other side as the last line of defense of the palace.
And all this means that something must have erupted in the harem of the palace as well.
Ciris felt that Luo Mu stopped after taking two steps, and then didn't move for a long time, and his breathing seemed to become a little heavy, and he couldn't help but ask with some worry, "Master, what's wrong?"
Ciris knows that there are many, many secrets on Luo Mu's body, just like at this moment, there should be no difference between her and Luo Mu, they should both be unable to see in this darkness, but Luo Mu is obviously able to see or perceive everything around him, which is obviously beyond the ability of a Wind Soul Master, but Ciris doesn't want to ask, she knows, she should know, Luo Mu will tell her.
Luo Mu shook his head and said, "Something should happen here, there may be danger for a while, don't leave my side" Cyris smiled silently in the dark, and then nodded vigorously.
The two continued to walk along the corridor, on both sides of the corridor every few steps there will be a heavy armor knight, the knight pressed the hilt of the sword, bowed his head slightly, standing on both sides, it stands to reason that this corridor should be guarded by real people, I don't know if it is after the death of the country, the knight here has become the armor without a knight.
On the walls on both sides of the corridor are hung large portraits of the royal palace, the portraits have the royal family members of the past generations of Capeln, as Luo Mu and the two of them advance, some of the people in the portrait have become old, and some have gradually grown up and become new kings, this corridor is like the history of Capeln, presenting all the people in front of Luo Mu.
Capeln is a small country, there are naturally not many members of the royal family, each emperor will have a queen and one or two princesses, and the number of heirs is also very small, Capeln is a purely patrilineal society, which is consistent with the Disney Empire, under this social basis, only men can become kings of a country.
And as Luo Mu and the two advanced, the portrait became more and more strange, starting from the middle of the corridor, a woman's face on the portrait was all crossed out, and the person who crossed out the woman's face was obviously extremely manic, and the portrait had almost been destroyed.
This situation lasted until the woman grew up, and then suddenly disappeared from the portrait one day, and Luo Mu was very keenly aware that the woman whose face was crossed out by later generations for unknown reasons was always at the very edge of the portrait, standing in the most unnoticeable place, and even the rest of the body posture could be seen that the standing posture was extremely restrained.
At the same time, Luo Mu also found that this corridor should have windows, but now the original window is completely covered by an unknown black solid, Luo Mu knocked it twice, but this solid has completely integrated with the surrounding walls, and it does not move at all.
Luo Mu had to continue walking along the corridor, the corridor was only a hundred meters, Luo Mu soon saw the end of the corridor, but at the exit of the corridor, a rickety figure was sitting on the ground with his back to them.
Ciris felt the muscles on Luo Mu's arm tighten suddenly, and then quickly changed to a state of accumulation and non-hair, without words, Ciris also knew that there should be a problem ahead, she quietly held the hilt of the sword.
Luo Mu walked forward slowly, but the figure with his back to them remained motionless.
Luo Mu walked straight behind him, the figure was wearing a black robe, and Luo Mu sensed that this person should have been dead for a long time, and even the body under the robe should have turned into a dry corpse.
But Luo Mu didn't dare to relax at all, because in this lost city, it seemed that the most important thing to guard against was corpses.
Luo Mu and Sireth gently passed past the corpse, and then Sireth felt Luo Mu's arm freeze.
At this moment, out of the corridor, Cireth's eyes have also adapted to the darkness, she can vaguely see that there seem to be many shadows in the darkness, but the most direct sense is that there is a fishy smell here.
Luo Mu had a full view of everything, they were in a huge round hall, which should have been one of the most luxurious places in the palace, but now, this round hall was full of corpses!
Countless stumps and severed arms, warriors' corpses, or some kind of demon corpses, but more of them were the kind of blue-black corpses that Luo Mu had seen just now, all over the mountains.
Countless blood stains were spread all over the place, and in the middle of the round hall stood a huge statue, all the corpses seemed to scatter around the statue, forming a very impactful and strange picture.
Luo Mu fixed his eyes on the statue, there were two people on the statue, the first was a calm man, the man wore a crown, even if it was a statue, it seemed that he could feel the momentum that was not emanating, this person Luo Mu had seen on the portrait in the corridor, he should be the founding emperor of Capeln.
And what shocked Luo Mu was the one standing next to the man, it was a young woman, the woman's statue was obviously standing backwards, and the position was a little offset, but this was also what shocked Luo Mu, what did this young woman do to make this royal family stand her statue next to the founding emperor?!
And most importantly, the head of the statue was completely shattered, and the woman was holding a black egg in her hand!
The fishy smell in Ciris's mouth and nose made her a little unbearable, and she couldn't help asking, "Master, where is this?" Luo Mu didn't say much, and simply replied, "A lot of people have died here."
Cyris pursed her lips and nodded.
Luo Mu also knew at this moment that the person who sat cross-legged and died behind the two of them should be the Great Imperial Soul Master who drew the soul array in the corridor, he must have been at the end of his life, in order to ensure the safety of the king and queen in the main hall of the palace, but what is unexpected is that the place behind him finally fell.
Luo Mu continued to walk forward, the two passed through the round hall, and then the path was very complicated, Luo Mu did not have a specific destination, so he was walking casually, Luo Mu actually kept breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, because he intuitively felt that there must be some danger lurking in this darkness, whether it was the corpse here, or the window of the long corridor that was inexplicably blocked.
Suddenly, Luo Mu suddenly felt that his feet were wet and slippery, this feeling had actually been for a while, because just now in the round hall, there were many corpses, Luo Mu began to think that there was blood or other things stuck under his feet, but he suddenly woke up, he had come out so far, even if there was blood, it should have dried up long ago, and those corpses had obviously been dead long enough, even if there was blood, they should have dried up long ago!
Luo Mu slowly squatted down and touched the ground, the viscous liquid on the ground was transparent, and it should stay for a long time, as if a slippery snake had just crawled over the ground here!
And look at the traces left on the ground, which have covered almost the entire floor of the corridor here, this is a large group of snakes!
Luo Mu stood up and looked at the gate in the distance, it was a dormitory, but he didn't know whose it was.
Luo Mu's heart was crossed, and he pulled Ciris towards the half-open door, the more he walked forward, the more slippery the ground became, and Ciris seemed to feel something faintly, and slowly became nervous.
Luo Mu walked to the door and gently pushed the door open a little more, and then Luo Mu's pupils suddenly shrank.
This is indeed a magnificent dormitory, but now, in the curtain of the big bed in the center of this dormitory, there is a huge black snake!
