"Alert! Unknown energy is invading, please stay away as soon as possible."
The sound of the chip rang in his mind, and Enzo was suddenly shocked. He instinctively felt that the black tide around him seemed extremely terrifying, and he immediately retreated towards the passage connecting the stone house and the dry well, without caring about dealing with the resentful souls.
"Great goddess of the night! Please give me strength!"
The resentful soul let out a scream, and the body that had been severely injured by the soul thorn suddenly swelled up, like an evil ghost that had swallowed hundreds of souls, and rushed towards Enzo.
"Soul power!"
The evil aura struck, and Enzo immediately activated his soul power, and the invisible silver pressure dispersed in all directions. The resentful soul immediately stagnated, but it soon broke free from the soul power and let out a shrill scream.
By this time, Enzo had already exited the stone room.
"I'm going to eat you!!" Behind him, the resentful spirit was still chasing after him, and the blackness behind him surged like a tide. However, after leaving the stone house where the statue of the goddess of the night was located, its power seemed to be gradually declining.
"In ancient times, the power of gods was omnipotent!"
"But it's a pity that the world is now ruled by wizards. The power of rules restricts the gods everywhere, causing the power they control to be infinitely suppressed. What's more, the one in the stone house is just a statue of a goddess."
After putting some distance between himself and the resentful spirit, Enzo thought to himself.
The outline of the stone door appeared in front of him, and he plunged in. The resentful spirit behind him immediately stopped, hesitated for a moment, and did not continue to pursue. Instead, he turned around and went back into the stone chamber where the statue of the goddess of the night was enshrined.
"It seems that the power that the goddess statue can give it has a certain limit!"
The spirit body returned to the physical body, and Enzo opened his eyes with a luster of thought.
"It turns out that the resentful soul was actually a believer of the god when he was alive!" He stroked his chin, looked around the dry well, and murmured, "No wonder it can hide its aura and cannot even be detected by a chip."
By hiding in the stone house and praying, the resentful spirit blocked all detection.
During its lifetime, it had worshiped the goddess of the night day and night, so the statue had a power of faith, which could give believers a certain amount of strength in times of crisis.
"What should we do?" Enzo thought with his eyes.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped at a place in the dry well. There was a rotten and dry smell coming from there. Looking carefully, he saw a tattered withered skeleton lying quietly in the corner.
Those seemed to be the bones left by the resentful soul during his lifetime!
Enzo's heart moved, he leaned down to collect the corpses on the ground, and then climbed up the dry well wall with his bare hands. With his strong physical fitness, he quickly climbed out of the dry well.
Returning to the manor laboratory, Enzo closed the door.
Then, he rummaged through a lot of materials from the cabinet next to the experimental table, including a bottle of scarlet blood, a beast's heart soaked in a glass jar, and a clump of seaweed-like hair.
"The blood of ogres, the hearts of evil dogs, the hair of the dead..."
Enzo put the three materials on the table, took out some remains from the dry well, and murmured to himself: "Finally, adding the most important [bone dust powder] as a medium is enough..."
"
As he spoke, he took out a stone bowl, put a piece of remains in it and pounded it into powder.
Afterwards, Enzo cleared an open space in the laboratory, first drew a circular talisman array with ogre blood, then placed the heart of the vicious dog and the hair of the deceased on both sides of the talisman array, and finally
Pour the bone powder from the stone bowl into the center.
"Shilomas! Xir!"
Enzo's lips trembled and he spat out two syllables. A wave of magic spread along the talisman array, and the bone powder in the center of the talisman array immediately burned. A black mist slowly rose in the flickering firelight.
"What's going on? Why do I appear here!?"
The shadow in the black mist was dazed for a while, and then when he saw Enzo in front of him, he was suddenly frightened, struggled desperately, and exclaimed: "You are the damn wizard! Goddess of the Night, please save your life."
believer......"
As the resentful soul struggled, the talisman array began to tremble.
"Woof!!" A dog bark suddenly sounded. On the left side of the talisman array, a vicious dog phantom pounced forward and bit the resentful soul viciously. At the same time, the mass of hair of the deceased on the right side of the talisman array also
He came back to life, wrapped around the resentful soul like a poisonous snake.
"Here is the goddess of the night, please save me!" The hair around her body became tangled tighter and tighter, and the resentful soul let out a wail.
"Give up, your goddess won't come to save you."
Enzo smiled and shook his head. The goddess of night in the dry well was just a statue that was enshrined and generated a weak power of faith. She could not even leave the stone chamber, let alone save others.
In a moment, the deceased's hair has firmly bound the resentful soul!
"Tell me your secret and I will spare your life." As Enzo thought, the deceased's hair ignited with orange flames, and the bound soul suddenly let out a shrill wail.
In the firelight, the body of the resentful soul melted like white wax!
"No! Stop it quickly, I am willing to tell you the secret, Master Wizard." Under the burning torture, the resentful soul twisted in pain and quickly begged for mercy loudly.
The corners of Enzo's lips raised and he extinguished the flames.
In the talisman array, the resentful soul looked a little miserable, its transparent body swaying like a candle in the wind, its eyes full of fear, and it didn't show its teeth and claws before, instead it was as docile as a lamb.
"Tell me, what's going on with the statue in the dry well?" Enzo said quietly.
The resentful soul's body suddenly trembled and he began to speak slowly.
It turns out that the resentful spirit's name is Okano, and he was the owner of this manor during his lifetime.
His father was a spice merchant. Many years ago, he set foot in the dark forest to collect some goods. It was there that he accidentally rescued a lost girl. The two developed a secret love for each other while getting along, and thus
became a couple.
That girl is Okano’s mother, and she is also a survivor of the Kingdom of Essos!
The ancient Kingdom of Essos believed in the goddess of the night. Although after the Abyss Invasion, the Kingdom of Essos was rumored to have been destroyed, in fact there are still a small number of Essos survivors who have survived in the Dark Forest for generations.
Go down to the underground ruins.
Ocas's mother accidentally came to the surface and got married to the spice merchant. After that, she did not want to return to the underground ruins, so she came to Thunder City to settle down with the spice merchant, and gave birth to her son soon after.
Orcas.
Although they left the underground ruins where they lived in the past, the Essos family has believed in the goddess of the night for generations. Orcas's mother has not given up her belief because of this. She recast a statue of the goddess based on her own memory and prays devoutly every day.
.
Later, when his parents passed away due to old age, Okano naturally inherited the manor.
Under the influence of his mother, he also believed in the goddess of the night. However, the wizarding world rejected the gods. Ocano could only hide his belief and enshrine the statue of the goddess of the night in a dry well stone chamber. He did not even have his most trusted wife.
