Chapter 862 Ritual and Gate (2 in 1)

Ancient grudges are ghost-like creatures with a mixture of extraordinary characteristics. Among them, the cursed object is related to a certain part or item in their lifetime. This, combined with the characteristics, becomes the basis for their existence. Because of this, different ancient grudges The manifestations of the cursed objects corresponding to the spirits will not be the same, but the essence is the same, while dust is another characteristic and is the source of most of their abilities. As for the remaining spirituality, it is slightly equal to the blood of monsters and other materials.

Seeing the remaining items in front of him, Forsi had some enlightenment. Then he looked at Abner, and after he nodded slightly, he walked over and collected the materials one by one.

During this period, the three official extraordinary people turned a blind eye to this. They knew very well that being able to kill this extremely powerful ancient spirit was entirely due to the young man named Abner. Although the three of them also Contributed, but not indispensable.

Therefore, it is completely reasonable for the other party to ask his wife to get the materials.

The "Purifying Light" member named Dorn even walked up to Abner, bowed deeply to him, and said sincerely: "Thank you for helping us avenge Ed and Brown..."

"You're welcome. Without the information you provided, I wouldn't have been able to calculate it so easily." Abner waved his hand and said politely.

He was not talking nonsense. If he had no understanding of the ancient ghost that was suspected of being Austin, even if he could win, he would not be as calm as he was just now. .

After the two sides exchanged a few polite words, Forsi had already collected the materials and returned to Abner. Only then did the group of people re-enter the foyer of the palace and began to explore the relatively intact parts of the building.

Although Captain Defoe and the three official Beyonders had explored some areas with the opportunity gained by the sacrifice of their teammates, time was too tight at that time and they had never taken a closer look, so they followed Abner and the two of them to search again. Ichiban.

The first thing that caught their eyes was: the collapsed stairs, the overlapping remains of the superstructure, the sharp stone pillars that penetrated from the roof into the basement, and the broken dome glass shards all over the floor.

The whining wind blew by, and the coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow made Forsi couldn't help but shiver.

Various horrific scenes flashed through her mind, forcing her to turn on her spiritual vision and slowly look around. She didn't feel relieved until she saw Abner's back.

However, she noticed that on the right side surrounded by broken walls, there was a relatively intact stone staircase.

There are many mottled marks on this staircase, which extends all the way down, and I don’t know where it leads.

Abner naturally noticed the stairs, but based on his intuition and previous game experience, he did not go there immediately. Instead, he first went to the rest of the palace to search.

There was no harvest in the two side halls in the east and west, but many incomplete murals were found in the collapsed corridor of the main hall in the north.

The murals vividly depict a scene of a middle-aged and elderly gentleman wearing silver glasses performing some kind of ceremony, and there are three insects of different shapes placed on the altar of the ceremony.

One of them is twisted into a ball, one has twelve transparent rings, and the other is shining brightly...

"This is Benjamin, the lord of Burnie City during the Gustavus Dynasty. He is a member of the legendary Abraham family, a great aristocrat in the Fourth Age. Our 'Light of Purification' has detailed records about him... I suspect This ruins is a by-product of some evil ritual he performed." Captain Defoe told all the information he knew.

However, Abner did not pay attention to Defoe's words. He stared at the murals, took out the single lens again and put it in front of his right eye, and began to analyze and decrypt:

"The worm of spirit, the worm of time, the worm of stars...

"This seems to be one of the rituals to unblock Mr. Gate! Why is it here?

"Benjamin himself is only a mid-level Extraordinary. It is impossible for him to hear Mr. Men's 'babble' clearly and obtain this ritual...

"So...this is what Russell told him?

"From the fact that Forsi can still hear the full moon murmuring, we know that Benjamin definitely failed to hold the ceremony successfully, and did not even disclose the contents of the ceremony to the Abraham family!

"If we make a bold assumption, maybe these murals are actually arranged by Russell to ensure that Benjamin can faithfully complete some of the tasks he assigned after his death, and wait until Benjamin reaches certain conditions. The true content will be revealed... so the other murals were destroyed, and only it was relatively intact, because it was protected by the power of Russell's 'Order'.

"But unfortunately, as soon as Benjamin deciphered the meaning of the mural, the mausoleum was suddenly destroyed by the eternal blazing sun... so he also died here...

"The reason why Benjamin's undead soul was not trapped in the palace is because he was dragged by a certain existence to the unknown island discovered by Russell, and has even been 'resurrected'... Just like in the original work Same as Edwards.

"Oh, Russell's behavior is still contradictory. He deliberately leaked a ritual that could threaten the security of the world, but then designed to bury it - no matter how you thought, the attack of the 'Eternal Burning Sun Church' couldn't really be such a coincidence...

"Speaking of which, Amon's lens is really useful. Without it, I wouldn't be able to get so much secret information just by relying on my current 'Pure White Eyes' analysis ability."

Taking off his lenses, Abner sighed secretly, and then simulated a "wind blade" to completely flatten the content on the mural.

It is better not to let others see such things, even though the difficulty of this ritual is actually very high - after all, how can the demigods of the Gou San family be so easy to catch? Not to mention having to capture one person from the family...

When the three official Beyonders and Forsi saw this scene, they did not stop it. The rituals depicted on the murals and the creepy-looking bugs were not serious things at all, so it was natural to destroy them.

After that, a few people explored the main hall and returned to the stone stairs leading underground.

"Go down and take a look?" Forsi glanced at Abner and made his own suggestion.

Abner observed for a while, nodded slightly and said:

"The remaining power source of this palace is underground... I think that is the core of the entire palace."

At this time, Captain Defoe also interjected: "Yes, our previous explorations have always stopped at the stone steps. No matter how we attract the resentful spirit, as long as anyone dares to get close here, it will 'flash' back immediately.

"That's why we have always suspected that there are clues below to leave this ruins."

"I can go down and explore the way first!" Seeing that Abner was still cautiously adding many spells to his body, Dorn and Ms. Darcy said in unison.

"No, just stay at the rear." Abner, who had put on several layers of 'barriers' and 'guards', shook his head, then held the 'magic mirror' in one hand and held Forsi's hand in the other, and walked carefully towards the place. The mottled stone stairs go down step by step along the steps with a lot of gravel scattered.

If anything happens, he is ready to release the "Bone Dragon" at any time and run away with Forsi's "Dream Shuttle".

The stairs were quite narrow and could only be passed by one person, and they were spiraling deep in circles. If Abner hadn't been holding his hand, Forsi would have been very scared.

Da, da, da, as the footsteps of several people reverberated deeper and deeper, the "fire of light" condensed by the two "Light of Purification" members seemed to be suppressed by some force and extinguished one after another. Glutinous rice

Abner's secret technique of five fireballs could no longer be maintained. Only the "holy light" simulated with the "pure white eye" remained the same, illuminating the mottled steps ahead.

Da, da, da. In the cramped and deserted environment, Forsi followed Abner and finally walked up the steps and stepped on the flat and solid ground.

She wanted to say, "Staying in a place like this for a long time will really make people crazy," but due to the silent atmosphere around her, she couldn't really make a sound. She was afraid of breaking this state and causing extremely bad changes.

With the help of the holy light floating diagonally above, Forsi cast his gaze forward, trying to see clearly what the end of the stairs looked like.

This is a hall, nearly 10 meters high, with black floor tiles dripping with water, and signs of cracks and damage everywhere.

A few dozen meters away, on the other side of the hall where the light could barely reach, stood a pair of bronze doors.

The gate went up to the top, and the stones on the left and right walls fell off, and the statue was broken, revealing the dark brown soil underneath.

The surface of the door is engraved with dense symbols and strange patterns, giving people an intuitive sense of mystery and heaviness, as if something is being sealed and something is being blocked.

Right in front of the gate, there is a stone platform. On the stone platform is a statue of a knight kneeling on one knee, with his head lowered and his hands raised high, as if he is holding something.

What this scene means in the eyes of Abner, who has played multiple 3A masterpieces, is obvious: that is, only when the corresponding item is found and placed in the knight's hand, the door will open.

And Abner immediately had the target of suspicion—the "Box of Gods"!

Benjamin arranged for descendants to leave the "Box of God" placed in the First Bank to Forsi by name; Forsi continued to have contact with this dream relic in Benjamin's fiefdom; and the above-mentioned The thing was probably done by Russell using the mural as bait and arranging for Benjamin to complete it...

From this sequence, we can know that it was Russell who needed Forsi, who was holding the "Box of Gods", to come here and open the door... and Benjamin was just a "tool man" used by Russell to hide his identity.

On the other side, Forsi, who was extremely active in thinking, had obviously thought of this as well. She thought about it and finally couldn't help but say:

"Would you like to put that box up and try it?"

The three official extraordinary people were stunned when they heard this, and then looked over. At the same time, they also had some expectations in their hearts. After all, it seemed that these two people were well prepared.

Abner thought for a moment and then said: "Wait a minute, let me ask the original guards here first."

guard? Before Forsi could figure out what this meant, he saw Abner put the "magic mirror" in front of him and began to project the memory of the wraith of the knight.

Of course, because it is an ancient resentful spirit that has been dead for many years, only the deeper part of its memory remains.

Soon, the important mark in the life of a woman whose real name was Austin Abraham was slowly revealed in front of Abner and the others.

For the sake of the family, she married the Marquis of the Augustus family, who was nearly thirty years older than herself; fell in love with the Baron of Conva and had a wonderful time together; and secretly gave birth to the baron's illegitimate son, the uneasiness and happiness...

Until she and Baron Kangwa came to the old castle in the middle of the Delaire Forest in order to seek materials from the "ancient resentful spirit". They were contaminated by the aura behind its underground door and died helplessly, losing consciousness.

Many years later, when she woke up again and gained consciousness, she who was originally seeking the "ancient wraith" actually became the "ancient wraith"...

At this time, she had been handed over to a man named Russell by a descendant of the Abraham family, and was placed in the mausoleum he built.

Only then did she discover that the reason why she was able to wake up and leave the forest castle was because the gate under the castle that was sealed by someone unknown was actually torn down by a man named Russell and turned into the one he built. The gate of the mausoleum!

Mrs. Austin's memory ended, and the "magic mirror" turned off the projection in due course.

The apprentice looking for the "ancient wraith" eventually became the "ancient wraith"...

At this time, although other people were quite sad about this woman's experience, they didn't think there was anything terrible about it.

But Abner suddenly looked at the bronze door, and his heart was already filled with turmoil:

“The gate under the old castle in the middle of the Lidrel Forest in the original book seals the entrance to the ‘Sea of ​​Chaos’!”

"Roselle actually moved that door away?!

"How did he do it?

"Besides, if the gate is moved, what will happen to the Sea of ​​Chaos? Will the gods just ignore it?"

As his thoughts turned, Abner suddenly remembered the special state of Baron Kangwa, which he had speculated before in the "1-025" incident... that is, after being contaminated by the "Sea of ​​Chaos", Abner became Daniel is the experimental subject of the senior time traveler and the tool for subsequent layout!

Although if you think about it carefully, Daniel himself might have been experimented by the God of Knowledge at that time...

However, since Daniel has studied Baron Conva in the Delaire Forest Castle, it is likely that it was the experimental site for his various "source matter" pollution balance experiments...

Maybe he used "balance" to truly seal the entrance to the "Sea of ​​Chaos", so Russell could safely remove the door?

But then again, why did Russell have to tear down that door? What's the meaning? You're not "showing off your wealth", are you?

Fortunately, the feeling here is completely different from the first floor of the "Dream Maze Tower". I can be sure that behind this door is definitely not the entrance to the "Sea of ​​Chaos"!

Thinking of this, Abner directly used the "active prophecy" ability blessed by the "Wheel of Fortune" when using the "Pure White Eye" to analyze and using the monocle to "decrypt" failed to achieve the expected results.

Although Lilith warned him to use it as little as possible in front of demigods, otherwise he might have to pay several times the price to repay the "gift of fate"...

However, less use does not mean no use, and Abner will never hesitate when necessary.
