The knight in the abyss

Chapter 206 Ancient Secrets
It is not difficult to decipher the text. As a scholar who studies the lower planes, Kara Lin always has a very practical magic scroll in his backpack - 'Language Proficiency'.This 1st-level spell lasts for 1 hour and allows the subject to understand any spoken language, or any written text.Of course, it is limited to the literal meaning, and it is impossible to decipher code words or secret texts with this spell.

Since this is only a 1st-level magic and does not have any ability to cause damage, many adventurers don't even know the existence of this spell.

"What do these symbols mean?" Lancelot asked curiously. His spiritual sense suggested that there was something very dangerous behind the rock wall, but the sense was not very clear through the thick soil.

"It seems to be saying that this place is the last resting place of a powerful demon lord." Kara Lin showed a puzzled look on his face, "This is... a cemetery? Aren't demons immortal? How can there be a cemetery?"

"Not all demons are immortal." The skull-shaped encyclopedia began. "One is not."

"Really?" The question came from the only demon in the team, "As far as I know, all demons are killed, and there has never been a single case of death due to aging..."

"You Tanar'ri really don't know it." Colonwell bumped against the string of runes with his bald forehead, "But the Obiris who created this kind of characters is not the same."

"Obiris? Is this the tomb of the ancient Lord Obiris?" The scholar's eyes were full of thirst for knowledge, "They were not defeated by the army of the Eratian tribe who invaded the abyss and the former slave Tanari demons, Has it died out since then?"

"When they were just driven out of the Wanyuan Plain, they didn't feel that the end of their family had arrived. Many powerful Obiris lords hid in deeper layers, waiting for the time to counterattack." Ke Longwei Er enjoyed showing off his knowledge in front of everyone, "But then, some changes occurred in the Abyss itself, which directly led to the decline of the Obiris demon clan."

"The abyss itself has changed?" Elotesia was also very curious about this, "I've never heard of these things..."

"After all, it has a history of countless centuries. It's normal for you not to know..." Skull laughed, "By the way, how old are you?"

The succubus' face turned black, and she grabbed the skull and threw it down the cliff. Lancelow didn't have any intention of stopping it—the mouth of the skull is really cheap sometimes.

"Ah! I was wrong, I was wrong!" Skull shouted in panic.Its floating ability is very strange, it can only float at a height of five or six feet above the ground, as if there is an invisible body under it, but in fact it does not have the ability to fly.

Naturally, Elotesia would not really do that kind of thing, she put the skull back, and said in a pretendingly angry tone:
"Go on!"

"Hey hey, just kidding." Colonwell said with a smile on his face, "It's actually nothing, the energy of the abyss itself has changed after the invasion of Era. The Obiris first discovered that no new members of the same race could get it. Promoted, and then horrified to find that their physical bodies began to weaken, and something that maintained their "extraordinary" properties changed. At the same time, the power of the Tanar'ri clan became stronger rapidly, and powerhouses of the abyss lord level continued to emerge. The overall strength is expanding rapidly, this is the truth that you can suddenly become the ruling race of the abyss."

"So this is the mausoleum built by those former Obiris lords in advance after anticipating their own death?" Kara Lin asked curiously, "But the ancient tombs like Pazuzu, the wind demon king, and Cang Ye, the mother of demons?" Isn’t the Lord Obiris of the period still alive and well?”

"Look at Pazuzu's current appearance, except for the eagle-like hooked beak and the pair of bird claws on the feet, the Wind Demon King is basically a human male with wings. Cang Ye is the same, her figure is still It's very tempting, if you ignore the face." Relying on the characteristic that lord-level demons cannot enter the abyss, the skull commented on the big bosses of this plane very presumptuously.

"The appearance of humanoid creatures is the characteristic of the Tanari, right?" Karaline understood what Crowell meant, "You mean, these characteristics imply the reason why they continue to this day?"

"That's right, these old monsters performed some kind of unknown magical ritual, which made them regain the 'recognition' of the abyss. The characteristics of Tanar'ri are just a by-product of this action. Essentially, they have long been It's not a purebred Obiris." The skull shook his head and said, "Of course, there are some guys who refuse to change, such as the big octopus that lives in the shadow sea, the big bug that first had the title of Demon Prince, But they have their own special reasons for being able to survive until now, and there is no doubt that the life forms of the Obiris family have been abandoned by the will of the abyss."

As soon as his words fell, there was a rumbling vibration from the feet of everyone.Lancelot's face changed, and he quickly reminded:
"careful!"

The whole earth seemed to be rotating at the same time. This process came suddenly and ended equally quickly. After a few seconds, the ground returned to calm.But now the dirt road under everyone's feet slopes about [-] degrees toward the cliff. Those who walk on it must pay attention in real time to avoid slipping and falling.

"I think you may have told too much of the truth." Karaline, still in shock, complained to the skull, "This is a warning from the will of the abyss."

"Nonsense, this phenomenon is very common in the Great Abyss..." Skull tried to speak stiffly, but his tone was obviously three points weaker than before.

"Hey! Look what that is!"

Cora suddenly made a sound, and she pointed to the rock wall beside her, where a crack that was as wide as a person appeared on it.The cold wind blows from the inside, indicating that there is still a lot of space behind the crack.

"Oh? This is probably the entrance to the cemetery, was it shaken away by the movement just now?" The dwarf looked very excited, "What do you say, Lancelot? Are we going to go in and explore?"

The human knight looked at this crack suspiciously, it must have been a coincidence, wasn't it?

Thinking of this, he took out the wands given by the abyssal fox-headed demon, stuffed them into Karaline's hands, and said to the scholar:
"Do you see if there is anything wrong with these wands? If not, then see if what we are looking for is in there."

"I also suspected that there was something wrong with the thing that the fox gave, let me have a look..." Kara Lin took out a monocle from his pocket and stuck it in his eye socket, and carefully looked at the fine lines etched on the wand .
