In the messy hall, Ryan asked after listening to the souls in front of him narrate their stories: "Can you tell me what is behind this door?"
"This is the palace where the Witch King lived. Everything inside was prepared for his eternal life." A younger-looking witch soul standing in the back row said, "The Witch King inside is my father. He once
I heard him talking to himself in the palace, and after he found me, I was made into a cocoon."
It seemed that there would be no other traps ahead. Thinking of this, Ryan felt much better, so he asked the souls in front of him. "What are your plans now?"
After these souls gathered together and whispered for a while, the soul who just claimed to be the Witch King's daughter came forward and saluted Ryan, and then said. "The Witch King is great, but after that trip to pursue immortality, he
He is no longer him. We hope you can take us in and send him to where he should go. In this way, we can fulfill our wish and continue on the road to death."
Once again signing an oath with death itself, a group of temporary residents moved into Ryan's sea of consciousness.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Ryan finally understood why such a powerful civilization disappeared without a trace: not everyone can succeed in making corpse cocoons. More than 30 corpse cocoons represent at least 300 people who died behind them.
A wizard.
After all, the more powerful anything in the magical world is, the lower the success rate of making it. In Ryan's life magic inheritance, the success rate of making a zombie warrior with a shelf life of no more than half a year is at most a little over 80%. This kind of magician who can last for thousands of years must be
The success rate is not much higher.
Even if according to what those wizard souls just said, the Witch King had already understood the mysteries of life and death when he created them. The success rate of such a thing would not be more than one tenth.
Thinking again, the complex writing system of this civilization is very unfavorable to the spread of culture. The number of wizards may be less than that of other civilizations (illiterates will never reach the level of normal wizards.). The wizards killed by the Witch King in order to make corpse cocoons were very large.
It may be that most of the wizards in the territory. In addition to those related to the construction of the temple in the blood pool outside, it is estimated that all the people with knowledge in the entire civilization died here.
A civilization that has lost its knowledge inheritors and leaders, and lost magic and knowledge, will soon trigger a civil war or flee because the land cannot support enough people. In the end, they will completely return to the wilderness. It is very likely that those small people in Central America will
Many city-states and pyramid temples were probably built by the people who escaped here. However, without enough magic and knowledge, they could only form some simplified versions of civilization.
No wonder the daughter of the Witch King said that he was no longer him. To completely destroy the civilization he had built for the sake of eternal life was simply not something a normal human being could do.
After lamenting the destruction of a great civilization, Ryan began to search for loot from the charcoal on the ground. Each wizard carried a variety of magic props before being sealed into the sculpture, but unfortunately as time passed and
From that baptism of lightning just now, very few things can really be left behind.
But something that can survive the double blow of time and thunderstorms is definitely a good thing. Ryan finally harvested an obsidian ceremonial knife, a meteorite amulet and an emerald slate with a gold edge. After asking the souls of the wizards in the sea of consciousness, these
The owner of the thing told Ryan how to use the magic item in front of him.
So Ryan obtained a knife that can be used in magic rituals to target ghosts, an amulet that can withstand an instant death attack, and a magic tablet with skills in corpse manipulation and corpse transformation.
In the end, Ryan burned the mummy into ashes with a blazing flame. Then he took out a few empty bottles and filled them with ashes. He chose a good place in the hall to pry open the floor tiles and buried the bottles. After all, their souls provided Ryan with a lot.
Help, it would be inappropriate to let them stay here under such circumstances. So Ryan spent some effort to help them bury them. As for the blood pool just now, there was really no choice but to ask someone to bury it after leaving.
After clearing the battlefield, Ryan returned to where he came from to call Hermione back. When he found Hermione, he found her sitting there leaning against a pillar, with her fingers crossed on her knees and praying for Ryan.
"Are you okay?" Hermione saw a somewhat gray-faced Ryan walking over and immediately stood up and asked.
"It's okay, I just got ashes on me when I was looking through the loot after the fight." After that, Ryan handed the meteorite amulet to Hermione. "This thing can avoid an instant death attack, so you should take it with you. After all,
It's very dangerous here, and having this with you will make me feel more at ease."
Hermione nodded and took the amulet with her, and then the two of them came to the wooden door.
After checking the door according to the instructions of the souls in his mind, Ryan pushed the door open. The moment he opened the door, he was stunned, because standing in front of him was a warrior wearing gold armor and holding an obsidian spear. Ryan could even see his face.
That intricate tattoo pattern.
Subconsciously, Ryan and the two waved the things in their hands at the same time to prepare to cast spells. Especially Ryan felt extremely nervous now. Because there is an iron law in life spells. The more powerful the dead creatures are, the smaller the difference between them and them when they were alive. Like the one in front of them.
He didn't even dare to think about how powerful this guy who was not much different from living would be.
But perhaps because of the wind caused by waving his arms, the warrior quickly turned into powder in front of them. A set of golden equipment on his body fell to the ground and fell everywhere.
Ryan stepped forward to check carefully, only to find that the warrior in front of him had long been dead. But because this place had been sealed for thousands of years, it was intact under the protection of magic. But after they opened the door, the sealed environment was completely broken, so he
It naturally turned into dust.
It turns out that whether it is the colors on the Qin terracotta warriors or the lotus root slices in the Mawangdui Han tomb, rapid weathering after environmental changes is a very common phenomenon in the archaeological world. Even if this is archeology in the magical world, many principles are common.
After Ryan and the others figured out the reason, they bypassed the pile of golden armor in the middle of the road and moved forward. At this time, Ryan could be sure that they were in another dimension in the temple. Because there was a complete temple inside this door.
, there is even a golden magic ball in the sky that releases light and acts as the sun.
Time seems to have frozen here. There is a soldier standing guard under each pillar of the temple, and maids in twos and threes are distributed in the courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard, the priests in gorgeous clothes seem to be about to go to the shining golden temple in front of them.
The temple meets their gods. Everything is just as it was when the Witch-King was still alive.
But all the organic matter visible to the naked eye was weathering rapidly. Of course, when Ryan and the others walked to the Golden Pyramid Temple, everything before them disappeared. Only piles of ashes and scattered stones and stones in the ashes were left.
Gold products.
"Do you want to stay here?" Ryan asked Hermione. "Because the temple above is probably the most dangerous place here."
"I think if the things inside can defeat you, it's not safe anywhere in this pyramid, and I'm not a burden. Maybe I can help you when I go up there." Hermione said firmly after thinking for a while.
"Okay, let's go up together." After saying that, the two people walked down the steps towards the building at the top of the pyramid.
