"Mephisto?" Lin Li was just startled for a moment, and then returned to his normal expression. To be honest, this was not a big surprise, because Lin Li knew early on that there were two loopholes in Stefan's words.
First of all, it is impossible for familiars to appear in the forest. Each level of the abyss is a world with strict hierarchies. Once a monarch-level demon appears somewhere, even many ordinary demons will retreat, let alone these ants.
Familiar?
Also, just now Stefan said that he tracked it based on magic fluctuations. Yes, tracking based on magic fluctuations is indeed a basic skill that every great magician should master. This sounds like there is no loophole, but
Unfortunately, this time Stefan met Lin Li.
Lin Li is a very cautious...er, or rather a magician who is quite afraid of death. He usually uses a magic shield to deal with some small monsters below level ten, not to mention when facing a terrifying existence like Mephisto.
?When he was flying forward along the Water of Death just now, Lin Li paid great attention to the magic fluctuations he left behind. Every time Hutton stopped to restore his magic power, Lin Li would quietly lay down a magic annihilation force field to remove the faint trace of magic.
The infinite magic fluctuations were quietly erased.
Of course, the magic annihilation force field is not omnipotent. If the tracker has legendary strength or above, it basically ignores the magic annihilation force field completely. With a little spiritual imprint, it is enough to track it anywhere.
However, Stefan's strength is obviously still far away from the legendary realm. It is simply impossible to track him with a little mental imprint.
There were two such obvious loopholes in Stefan's words. It would be strange if Lin Li still couldn't see the problem.
Now Conneris's reminder only made Lin Li more sure of his previous guess...
"I understand." After Lin Li said something to Connors, he did not go back to find Stefan to ask what was going on. Instead, he continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
I have only seen the same huge palaces once, which was the Eternal Furnace hidden in the time and space cracks of Fire Feather Mountain. However, these two equally huge palaces are very different in style. The Eternal Furnace is a typical high elf style.
It is majestic, luxurious and gorgeous. Walking into the Eternal Forge is like walking into a high elf art palace. Even the most inconspicuous corner behind the door has been decorated to perfection with the almost perverted perfection of the high elf.
Even though the Eternal Forge had been idle for more than 1,300 years, and even though Osric had moved everything of value into his tomb, the moment Lin Li walked in, he was still overwhelmed by the artistic atmosphere.
I was shocked by the beauty.
The dark palace in front of him was another matter. As soon as he walked in, Lin Li felt that he had entered a dark and gloomy world. The walls on both sides were covered with green moss. He felt wet and wet when he stepped on it.
Slippery, the cold wind blew past the ears, making people feel creepy. Although there were little phosphorus fires burning on both sides, the pale white light that flickered on and off, in addition to adding a bit of gloominess to the current environment, was not at all
Cannot be used for lighting.
There are pavilions, terraces, gardens, corridors, etc. that can be seen everywhere in the Eternal Forge. You can't even see a shadow in the Dark Palace. The entire Dark Palace feels like a tomb in the barbaric era. The only thing is
The only places that have been decorated are probably the huge stone pillars. Entering from the main entrance of the Dark Palace, and walking forward for almost a hundred meters, you will see two huge stone pillars. Each of these stone pillars has hundreds of stones.
At a height of more than 1 meter, it would take at least ten humans to hug it.
I don’t know what method was used to carve statues one after another on these huge stone pillars. Each statue looks ferocious and ferocious, filled with an aura of infinite ferocity. Some have flesh wings on their backs.
Some have two horns on their heads. The only thing they have in common is that they all hold more or less one or two weapons in their hands, including sharp swords, scimitars, heavy hammers, chains, and daggers. Almost all Lin Li can think of.
Weapons with the same name can be found on these statues.
"What kind of demon is this..." Lin Li has been collecting information on the Saren Abyss for more than a day or two. Not to mention the master level of demon knowledge, there is always a master level, but now the statues on the stone pillars are really giving Lin Li a hard time.
Come on, we passed a total of fifty huge stone pillars along the way. There were exactly fifty statues carved on the stone pillars, but Lin Li looked around and didn't recognize any of them.
"These are the ancient demon gods..." When Conneris said these words, there was a rare hint of respect in his voice.
"Ancient evil?"
"For you humans, the prehistoric era is the age of dragons and titans. Almost no human knows that in the prehistoric era, in addition to dragons and titans fighting for hegemony, prehistoric monsters ravaging the earth, and high elves being born under the Eternal Tree, there are also
There are ninety-nine ancient demon gods who have opened up a ninety-nine-level abyss world."
"Ninety-nine ancient demon gods? But there seem to be only fifty here..."
"These fifty ancient demon gods have all fallen."
"What about the remaining forty-nine?"
"If you can one day enter the world beyond the fifty layers of the abyss, then you will have a chance to see them..."
"Are you kidding me..." Lin Li cursed angrily. The world beyond the fiftieth level of the abyss is simply not something that normal humans can set foot on. Let alone a little magician like himself, even if he was an amazing magician back then,
Lord Osric, with his magic legion, only captured the first twenty floors of the abyss.
The 20th floor and the 50th floor are almost two completely different worlds. Before the 20th floor, even some great demons have the opportunity to ascend to the throne of the monarch, but after the 50th floor, the great demons can be sacrificed at any time.
Just cannon fodder.
What kind of world is there after the fifty layers of the abyss? Let alone Lin Li, I am afraid that no human being in the entire Anriel world knows it, because since the Dark Ages, no human being can escape from the forty layers of the abyss.
The world below the forty-level abyss is an unknown mystery to all humans.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Great Soul Merchant, I found that you are quite familiar with the Dark Palace..."
"Nonsense..." Conneris's voice was not polite at all: "But I advise you to give up and stop asking insidious questions. I will tell you what I should tell you, and you can keep asking me what I shouldn't tell you.
It’s no use either.”
"I said Conneris, you are also a great soul merchant after all. Don't you know that the key to doing business is honesty? You being so mysterious is not very conducive to our cooperation..." Lin Li was very worried
He snorted dissatisfiedly.
Even an idiot can hear the threat in these words, let alone a monster like Conneris who has lived for who knows how many years?
After being silent for almost half a minute, Conneris' tone finally relaxed: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but with your current strength, what if you know many secrets of the abyss? For example, I can tell you now
, there is a branch of the Tree of Eternity hidden on the 30th floor of the abyss. If used to make a staff, it will be at least a hundred times stronger than the one you have. How about it, do you dare to go now?"
"Isn't there anything practical?"
"A more realistic one?" Conneris thought for a while: "Yes, it's in this dark palace."
"tell me the story."
"This starts with the origin of the Dark Lord. I just said when we were outside that the Dark Lord is actually the incarnation of the Dragon of Destruction. But do you know why the Dragon of Destruction casts his shadow?
Throw yourself into the abyss?”
"If I guessed correctly, this should be because the Dragon of Destruction wants to draw power from the Saren Abyss."
"You are really fooled..." There was a trace of surprise in Conneris's voice: "Yes, the Dragon of Destruction threw its shadow into the Saren Abyss just to absorb the darkness and evil from the Saren Abyss.
Strength, because this is the only way to hide it from the other four guardian dragons."
"Why do you want to hide it from the other four guardian dragons?"
"Have you forgotten what the five guardian dragons do? They guard the eight most basic rules of Anriel's world, light and good, dark and evil, time and space, natural balance, and origin and end. These ten rules are in opposition to each other.
At the same time, it maintains an extremely delicate balance. Once this balance is broken, can you imagine what the consequences will be?"
"The balance of the ten basic rules has been broken?" Lin Li was slightly startled at first, and then broke into a cold sweat. Once the balance of the ten basic rules was broken, it would be a disaster for the Anriel world.
, this is even more terrifying than the prehistoric monsters rushing out of the space cracks.
It will be a world where black and white are reversed and time and space are confused...
"So the Dragon of Destruction fell?"
"How did the Dragon of Destruction fall? There has never been an accurate explanation in the world of Anriel. However, when I followed Osric, I once heard the high elf lord analyze it. According to Osric's analysis,
The fall of Azadas, the Dragon of Destruction, is most likely related to the Immortal King..."
"Holy shit..."
"However, Osric feels that the Dragon of Destruction has not completely fallen. The two basic rules it guarded must have been inherited by someone. Otherwise, the world of Anriel would have fallen into chaos. Anyway,
, Osric has made a lot of speculations like this. If you have the opportunity to enter the tomb of the great lord in the future, you must find a way to find Osric's diary. There are many secrets recorded in it, some of which are even consecutive.
Even the High Elf Queen doesn’t know.”
"Well, I'll pay attention." Lin Li nodded, then showed some confusion: "But what does this have to do with the actual benefits you mentioned?"
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly..." Conneris paused for a moment before continuing: "The year when the Dragon of Destruction came to Saren Abyss in its incarnation, I happened to be the operator of Saren Abyss.
The big business of ten thousand souls, the monarch of Saren Abyss at that time was still Mephisto, and the incarnation of the Dragon of Destruction had not had time to drive it off the throne. At that time, a quite coincidental opportunity allowed me to meet this future darkness
Lord, you know that I, Conneris, am a great soul merchant. I can tell at a glance that the soul of this powerful demon is not complete. It is probably a fragment of the soul that was split from a powerful being...
"
"And after that?"
"Hehe, everything after that proved that I, Conneris, was right. The Dark Lord was not a demon born in the abyss, but a shadow cast by Azadas, one of the five guardian dragons." Conneris was very proud.
After boasting for a while, he said with some emotion: "Azadas is indeed one of the most powerful beings in the world of Anriel. Just a few fragments of his soul can easily
Defeat Mephisto and ascend the throne of the Lord of the Saren Abyss. Hey, if anyone can get the power from this soul fragment, that would be really..."
"The practical benefit you mentioned is probably Azadas's soul fragment, right?" Lin Li listened and gradually understood.
"That's right!"
"Don't be ridiculous, Conneris. Yes, magicians can indeed draw power from soul fragments, but that must be with the consent of the owner of the soul fragments. Do you think that with my strength, it is possible to plunder the power of the five guardian dragons?"
The power of one? Besides, the Dragon of Destruction has fallen for many years, and the fragment of its soul that was split back then has probably disappeared without a trace..."
"Do you think I am joking with you? No, no, no, the great soul merchant never jokes. If you think about it carefully, you will know that the era when the Dragon of Destruction fell should be at the end of the prehistoric era, when the high elves were just rising.
But the incarnation of Saren Abyss still exists until the end of the Dark Ages..."
"But……"
"As for how to obtain the power of the soul fragments, you don't need to worry about this. Since I, Conneris, dare to claim to be the greatest soul merchant in history, I naturally have a way to help you obtain the power of the soul fragments. What you have to do now is,
Just find the soul fragment and leave the Saren Abyss safely. Remember, don’t be caught by Mephisto, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous..."
"I'll think of a way." After Conneris finished speaking, Lin Li's heart gradually became alive. That was the soul fragment of Azadas, the Dragon of Destruction. It contained not only part of the power of the Dragon of Destruction, but
There are also a lot of memories and experiences of the Dragon of Destruction, and this kind of memory and experience is the most important to Lin Li.
Today, Lin Li has already stepped into the threshold of legend. He is only one step away from completing the breakthrough. If Lin Li gets this soul fragment, even if he does not absorb a trace of power, just comprehending the memory and experience in it will be enough.
Let Lin Li easily break through to the legendary realm.
