After dinner, Aleister, led by Albert and others, went to the storage room of the Ziggurat.
Although the name here sounds a bit like a utility room, it is actually a very important part of the ziggurat. Its importance is second only to the Lingpo spine that provides core power.
"If you want to enter here, you need some protection. This is also a kind of key."
Adolf, who had followed along, stretched out his staff and touched the shoulders of Aleister and the other two.
A faint yellowish film lightly covered their bodies.
Then they pushed open the door and walked in.
When Aleister entered here, she immediately felt the extremely strong power of the Dusk Path.
Everything here is as if time has been frozen... glowing with dim yellow light and maintaining absolute silence.
Not far away, there are more than a dozen rows of huge bookshelves. In addition to books, there are also bottles and jars containing organs, as well as some strange trinkets or packed documents. There are also
You can see an opened, huge treasure chest with a simple shape, filled with sparkling gold coins and various jewelry.
You can even see two people suspected of being thieves squatting next to the treasure chest, looking happy.
A man held a gold coin in both hands and let it fall naturally. The gold coin that slipped from his fingers solidified in the air.
The other person was holding a gem and a soft handkerchief, and seemed to be carefully wiping it. But the handkerchief has now become extremely strong and unshakable.
Some people kept walking forward and were frozen in place without noticing.
Others seemed to realize something, and raised their staffs with panic on their faces.
"Are these people... thieves?" Aleister asked.
Her voice was not echoed, but others clearly heard it.
"Some are, and some are disobedient students."
Adolf said, closing the door of the preservation room. His voice also sounded from the bottom of Aleister's heart: "The most powerful preservation technique of the ziggurat is kept in the preservation room. The principal's 'amber container' is here, and it contains
The power it exudes is enough to freeze time around it. That is also the principal's biggest weakness."
"...Is it appropriate to tell me this kind of thing?"
Aleister was startled.
The so-called "amber container" should be the lich's phylactery. It is different from the amber craftsman - the amber container made by the amber craftsman seals a soul inside and then transfers it to other bodies. It is considered a
This is preparation for seizing the body. If a body without a soul can be created, it can also be regarded as a kind of rebirth.
The phylactery is different - it is the core ability of the "lich". The lich seals his complete soul here. As long as the phylactery is not destroyed, even if the outer body is destroyed, he can be reborn at any time. Vice versa.
Said that if it is destroyed, then the principal will die immediately no matter how powerful he is.
For a moment, Aleister thought he might not be able to get out.
Adolf shook his head: "It doesn't matter. After all, it has been so many years, and this has long been a secret. At least it can't be hidden from hostile people, and there is no need to hide it from friends... Even if someone knows about it, he will
You can't get in. And you have the sixth-level Wild Hunt King who can control you at will. If you really want to be hostile to us, can the storage room stop you? In this case, it is better to show the greatest sincerity directly.
"Moreover, you still underestimate the 'Preservation Technique'. 'Preserving Secrets' is also within the field of Preservation Technique. The knowledge learned here cannot be directly told to outsiders outside. It can only be communicated through
Give it to others in the form of riddles or hints - those who know the secret will eventually remain silent.
"No, look..."
As he spoke, Adolf, the black figure, pointed the staff in his hand at a man wearing a hood and with a low sense of presence.
If Adolf hadn't pointed it out specifically, Aleister would have really not noticed him.
"That was a master assassin, fifth level. During the Earth Rift War, Black Hawk's people wanted to assassinate the principal, so they sent him to sneak into the ziggurat. Obviously, he failed to do it."
But now, the man maintains the posture of stepping forward, frozen in the past without noticing.
"There is also this person," Adolf pointed to another old man with a white beard who seemed to be chanting a spell. "The fifth-level archmage, the mage lord of Narcissus. And the silver-haired woman, that is a fifth-level mage."
A high-level Moon Child...I don’t know the others. There are many people who want to kill the principal, and now they are all trophies."
As he said that, Adolf pointed to the canned offal: "And these are also the original owners of these offal, all of them are strong men of the fifth level. These are the most top-notch corpses that can be used for
Performing the highest level rituals and necromancy can be considered our tactical reserve.
"But these were not killed by the principal...they are the collections of the predecessors and the previous principals. Each generation of principals will use their own strength to maintain the existence of this preservation room. Among the past principals, Mr. Grunewald is the
The ones that have survived the longest are only the teachers who like to keep these assassins and thieves together. Therefore, these people only appeared after the teacher became the principal."
"...It seems that the principal has been treated as a BOSS before."
Aleister murmured.
Faced with this secret, Albert and Aurora were not surprised. Apparently they had already heard Adolf tell it once when they placed their teacher here.
Anyway, with the talents of the two of them, there is a high probability that the Ziggurat will have to rely on them in the future. The contemporary dark figure Adolf has wanted to retire for a long time. When Albert is brought out, he can leave.
At this moment, Aleister suddenly thought of something.
That was after the old lich entered the dungeon, and the name of that dungeon was the Millennium Oath Spiritual Tower.
"...How long has the ziggurat existed?"
Aleister asked: "You are the vice principal of the Ziggurat. You should know the history of the school, right?"
"Well. If it is a true ziggurat, it has existed for more than four thousand years."
Adolf was indeed very clear about this, and he answered without hesitation: "At least it existed before the birth of mankind - the Ziggurat at that time was the inheritance of the Birdman, and it was called the 'Tower of Babel'. A long time ago,
It was once a wizard's tower."
"...Mage Tower?"
The two young necromancers had obviously never heard of this hidden history, and they couldn't help but make sounds of surprise.
"It was even called the 'Tower of Truth' back then, because it had the ability to deduce all the mysteries of the past and the future. The magicians in ancient times were different from today...whether it was necromancy, preservation, astrology, alchemy, or curses
All mysteries such as magic and ritual magic are classified into magic, divided into nine major categories and twenty-seven subcategories, exhausting all the mysteries in the world.
"It is said that when Weizhe ascended to the gods in the past, he split time and space directly from the Babel Tower and reached the dream world in his physical body.
"But after that, the Tower of Truth was suddenly destroyed by divine thunder one day, causing a fire that burned everything. Many ancient mages inside were killed as a result, and a lot of knowledge inside was lost and spread. Because thunder is the domain of great philosophers, many ancient mages were killed.
All the mages thought that this was because Weizhe demolished the ladder after ascending to the Pillar God, so they hated Weizhe... But Weizhe remained silent on this, neither admitting nor denying it.
"In the past, the mages fought over this, and the inheritance was scattered. Everyone no longer called themselves mages, but called themselves 'spell casters.' It was also after that that only the newly born humans were qualified to learn this mysterious skill.
"Many of the taboo knowledge stored in the Tower of Truth has been scattered and lost... Among them, the line with the most complete inheritance and preservation is us Necromancers who have also mastered the 'Preservation Technique'. Only those who understand the Preservation Technique
Only we can understand Weizhe's silence."
No wonder……
Aleister suddenly understood.
Preservation has already involved operations at the conceptual level. Its power is obviously stronger than those of spells and astrology!
It turns out that its inheritance is the most complete among the inheritances of many spell casters...
"Until 1,200 years ago, the first principal found the spine left by Lingbo Tiansi in the material world from the deep sea. Using the skills of building the mage tower in the past, he built it into the original ziggurat. The ziggurat at that time
It was still an isolated island overseas. It was not until two hundred years later, that is, a thousand years ago... that the Ziggurat finally fell to the empire.
"——Strictly speaking, the Ziggurat, with the Imperial people as the main race and necromancy as the main inheritance, has only existed for less than a thousand years."
Adolf said lightly.
It was as if it was not a thousand years, but dozens or hundreds of years.
