It is not far from Hell Gate Castle, under the ruins of "Mis-Glora" that has long been buried by the forest.
Using the "Stone of Inheritance" to sense the most subtle aspects of elven magic, Countess Salia and the other three have entered an ancient tomb that was hidden by magic.
An elven ancient tomb is indispensable for its tomb guards.
However, with Countess Salia here, and with her mastery of elven magic and even elven high magic, no matter how many tomb guards there are, it is naturally impossible to stop her.
With ease, she led Hals and Lesaris into the deepest secret hall of the mausoleum.
Some ancient stone slabs with constant magical effects fell into their eyes.
And at a glance...
Countess Salia immediately stopped the two Hals from looking closely.
She is too familiar with the methods of elves, especially ancient elven nobles, and high elven mages.
With just one glance, she came to the conclusion that what was constant on these ancient stone slabs was far more than just a protective effect.
"Misleading interpretation!"
"Interpretation failed, triggering a serial rune trap!"
"This should be the mark of the Milita family!"
"They were indeed involved in what happened back then!"
After keenly identifying certain characteristics from the magical effects of the ancient stone slabs, Countess Salia sneered.
The Milita family, like Dradrorgis, is the oldest and most noble sun elf family originating from members of the first generation council of Arivandar.
Once upon a time, the Milita family, like them, was also ostracized in the Elf King's court.
but……
They have chosen to accumulate family heritage and respond to changes at any time.
The Milita family chose...
Countess Salia thought about it for a moment, and soon she remembered it.
It is not that the Milita family has not responded.
On the one hand, they continued to endure in the Elven Court.
On the other hand, there should be another group, and they retreated directly to Yongju Island!
From now on, it seems that the group that stayed in the Elf King's Court was the old alliance that betrayed Arivanda after all.
However, Countess Salia was not very angry.
After being imprisoned for so many years, she had long been suspicious of many of her "old allies", including the "Milita Family".
After identifying the origin of the protective magic, Countess Salia used the "Stone of Inheritance" in her hand and quickly started to "dispel magic".
What's more, her "magic removal" did not completely dispel the magic effect on the stone slab.
With extremely exquisite, art-like control over her spellcasting, she manipulated the "Stone of Heritage" and with incomparable precision, she independently peeled off the "Milita Rune of Misleading Trigger" from the heavy magical effects of the stone slab.
.
Such spell-casting skills...
Lysaris, who was following her, even though he was a second-level mage, was fascinated by what he saw, and even after a little aftertaste, his expression was unimaginable.
But Countess Salia didn't care what he did, let alone give him any advice at this time.
After peeling off the "Milita Runes" one by one, she immediately used "Secret Text Analysis" to interpret the information on the stone slab.
And just a little interpretation...
Visible changes, her eyes actually wrinkled, and as the interpretation continued to deepen, they became more and more solemn.
This change…
Hals and Lysalis both knew it immediately.
Hals is just that. Although he is an extremely powerful barbarian warrior, he is not a spellcaster after all, so it is difficult to directly interpret the information on the stone tablet.
Lesalis immediately followed up the interpretation.
"The Castle of Sleep?"
"Time and space are stagnant?"
While he was interpreting it, certain information emerged from the bottom of his heart.
He has always had secret connections with Frosin and other families.
If he remembered correctly, the old Valermo man should have mentioned that an ancient underground palace that is now occupied by the demons of Hellgate Castle seems to involve "mystery locks" and "stasis"
!
There was a thought in his heart, and Lesaris didn't hide it.
The strength of that mysterious lock was far beyond what he could handle. Even if that place was now called the "Nameless Dungeon", it was this "Fortress of Sleep". He could only rely on this ancestor to survive.
It is possible to lift that seal!
He then said: "Your Excellency, I may have some clues about this Castle of Sleep. According to the information I have, there is an ancient underground palace, which is very consistent with this description..."
His description of that place.
Countess Salia nodded slightly, agreeing that that side was most likely the location of the "Fortress of Sleep".
However, even so, the solemn look in her eyes did not unfold at all.
He never responded to Lysalis.
After all the slates were read, Countess Salia slowly shook her head and turned around: "Perhaps the 'Unnamed City' is the 'Fortress of Sleep', but if that seal really passes
If the 'Mysterious Barrier' is realized as 'space-time stasis'..."
Her eyes swept over the bald nephew and the descendant of the bamboo pole. Her expression was gloomy, and she continued: "'Time and Space Stasis' is one of the most difficult manifestations of 'Mysterious Barrier'. Even I can't do it."
Use the 'One Ritual' to lift it. Unless there are two more people who can join forces with me, it is possible to use the 'Many Ritual' to forcibly lift the stasis of time and space!"
What she said.
That's all Hals. After all, he is not a spell caster and has basically no understanding of this.
Lesaris' expression couldn't help but change.
Even though the Drazogis family inheritance he inherited has long been ruined, there is still some information related to high magic.
He knew very well what the "two more people" the Countess was referring to!
This is not a simple spellcasting assistant.
"Numerous Ceremony", this requires the cooperation of Master Gao and Master Gao!
And when it is no longer possible for demon elves to directly master high magic...
Lesaris couldn't help but glance at the "Stone of Inheritance" in the countess' hand.
To realize the "Multiple Ceremony", this means that they must have at least three "high-energy cores".
Moreover, like the countess, the other two must also have the ability to manipulate such a "high-energy core" and then indirectly perform high-magic rituals!
this……
Ideas flashed through Lesaris's heart, but for a while, it was difficult to think of a way to realize it.
"It seems that there is only one way..."
Countess Salia clearly grasped the changes in his mind and basically made a judgment. The descendants of this bamboo pole have no more solutions.
The gloominess on his face gradually disappeared.
Yes, with the "One Ceremony", even she cannot lift the "stagnation of time and space".
Similarly, the "high-energy core" of Hell Gate Castle is unlikely to have a chance of success for the time being.
but……
"Gatekeeper Crystal!"
"A fragment must have fallen into Avernus!"
"The other one... is in the west, but this one seems to be on this plane, and it also seems to have fallen into the feeling of a pan-German capital... Is it Eternal Judgment Island?"
In the depths of Countess Salia's eyes, a certain look of contemplation was pulsing.
Based on her understanding and mastery of the "Gatekeeper Crystal", as long as she can reorganize this Elven Sacred Artifact, she is absolutely sure that she can lift the seal of the "Fortress of Sleep".
According to the records here, the number of demon elves sealed in the "Fort of Sleep" exceeds 5,000, which is worthy of her investing in the "Gatekeeper Crystal" to rescue them.
However, she was willing to invest, but... at least she had to collect all the fragments of this holy weapon first!
And based on her vague perception of the other two fragments after passing the second fragment...
"Avernas is fine."
Although Baator Hell is extremely dangerous, those demons should not be able to recognize the origin of the "Gatekeeper Crystal", and thus would not be able to use the fragment's ability. She is still quite certain of quietly retrieving it.
"But, if it really is Everlasting Island..."
The countess frowned secretly.
Although the Gatekeeper Crystal is ancient and secret, only the High Mage, or an ancient family like Drazogis, can identify it.
However, she could not guarantee at all that if the fragment did fall into Yongju Island, it would not fall into the hands of someone who "knows the goods".
There are many ancient families on Yongju Island, and it is impossible for Master Gao to annihilate them!
"No matter what, let's find the Avernus one first."
"Then...it's not like there's no further way!"
After a brief pause in her heart, Countess Salia had some ideas.
It is actually not difficult to determine whether the third fragment has fallen into the hands of a "knowledgeable person".
When the first fragment and the second fragment are both in her hand.
If the owner of the third fragment could be found, he would obviously be the "person who knows the goods." She could just wait for him to come to her door. Of course, since they could "know the goods" over there, she still needed to prepare enough in advance!
And if there is no response there... then she may have to find a way to sneak to Yongju Island!
Others may not have the means to go to Everlasting Island, but the secret magic doors she knows about are not just one or two!
With her decision quickly settled in her heart, Countess Salia raised her eyes and looked at the descendant of Zhugan: "Lesaris, here is the order for the three major families... huh? This is it?"
He was about to issue a call to action to the families who followed him in the past through his descendants.
Before she finished speaking, suddenly, the "Stone of Inheritance" in Countess Salia's hand trembled with spiritual light, and almost immediately, her eyes also turned.
With some kind of surprise and suspicion, as if he had penetrated all obstacles, his eyes were looking at the direction of Hell Gate Castle.
Immediately afterwards.
It turned out that Hals, the half-demon barbarian warrior, came first, and then Lysaris, the demon elf.
The two people also had strange expressions that were constantly changing.
An indescribable feeling arises from the depths of their blood, and it is unclear where it comes from.
"Profane ceremony!"
In charge of the "Heritage Stone", some kind of spiritual amplification from the "Heritage Stone", and Countess Salia's own powerful enough spiritual perception...
She already had a keen sense of the direction of Hell Gate Castle, which was deep but even more unimaginable. At the same time, she was also familiar with the incomparable nature of the dark power of evil and despair.
This feeling is still getting stronger.
This is, although there are some changes, it is very clear that it is the "blasphemous ritual" unique to the "Drazogis Family" that corrupts the "high-energy core"!
Even, over there at this time, the intensity of this ceremony...
Surprised, doubtful, and his expression changed again and again!
Countess Salia clearly sensed the intensity of the "power of darkness" being summoned by the ongoing "blasphemous ritual" over at Hellgate Castle...
Even among the many rituals she had performed personally, none of them had such intensity!
Of course, this doesn't mean that she absolutely can't do this.
But... She used to use this "blasphemous ritual" to transform and improve the essence of the "demon elf".
If she is willing to pay enough...
At least the Dradogis family back then still had the ability to perform rituals of the same or even higher intensity!
It's just that whether she or the Dradogis family back then, they had an "eternal covenant" with "him".
But, right now, there should be only the Balor Fire Demon on the other side of Hell Gate Castle, right?
"The King of Demonic Flames!"
"Angus!"
"Could it be that...you are also related to 'him'?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But..."
Her eyes flickered, and Countess Salia felt a rare feeling of uncertainty in her heart.
Back then, the "blasphemous ritual" she passed down to her family members was simply incomplete.
Therefore, the "King of Demon Flame" should not be related to the three following families.
And due to the bloodline induction of the "Inheritance Stone", the "King of Demonic Flame" is also not from the Drazogis family.
In this way, the only thing she could think of, not to mention the only one, at least the most possible one... was the only one with the same bloodline as Drazogis, directly related to "him"!
But, if it really has something to do with "him"...
Thinking back to the day before yesterday, the message from Myth Drannor!
And what Lesalis told me was about the connection between the demons of Myth Drannor and them, but there was something wrong with Hellgate Castle!
This seems wrong again!
If the "King of Demonic Flame" is really related to "him", there will be no need for the Yggoloth demon to backstab him, let alone the "King of Demonic Flame" who will in turn take care of him!
Thoughts flashed through my mind, but the more I thought about it, the more confused my thinking became, and the more difficult it became to sort out the inner story.
Seeing the Hell Gate Castle, in a short period of time, the "power of darkness" has become as deep as the sea, and at the same time it is also carrying out the operation of "blasphemy"...
Salia took a deep breath and finally suppressed the confusion.
Looking at the descendants of the bamboo pole, he said: "I remember you once said that one branch of the Frosin family betrayed you and took refuge in Hell Gate Castle?"
Lysalis nodded in confirmation.
"Through her, secret penetration, I want to know everything related to him!"
There was no charm in Countess Salia's eyes, but an extremely fierce flame.
If that person is not related to "him", but can call upon that "power of darkness"...
