Chapter 192 Treat death as life (please subscribe, please collect, please recommend)

In the messy hall, Ryan asked after listening to the souls in front of him tell their stories: "Can you tell me what is behind this door?"

"It's the palace where the Witch King lived, and everything in it is prepared for his eternal life." A young witch standing in the back row said, "The Witch King inside is my father. I overheard me talking to myself in the palace, and after he found me, I was turned into a cocoon."

It seems that there will be no other traps ahead. Thinking of this, Ryan's mood improved a lot, 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 daughter of the Witch King walked up to the front and saluted Ryan, and then said. "The Witch King is great, but he is no longer him after that journey in search of immortality. We hope you can take us in and send him where he should go. This way we can also fulfill our wishes, and then after death down the road."

Once again signing the 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 cocoons, and more than 30 cocoons represent at least 300 dead behind. a wizard.

After all, the more powerful anything in the magical world, the lower the success rate of production. In Ryan's life magic inheritance, the success rate of making a corpse puppet warrior with a shelf life of no more than half a year is at most [-]%. This kind of magician who can last for thousands of years must be The success rate is not much higher.

Even according to what the wizard souls just said, the wizard king had already understood the mysteries of life and death when he created them.The success rate of this kind of thing will not exceed one in ten.

Think again that the complex writing system of this civilization is very unfavorable to the spread of culture, and the number of wizards may be a little less than other civilizations (illiteracy is absolutely impossible to reach the level of normal wizards.).The wizards killed by the Witch King to make cocoons are likely to be the vast majority of wizards in the territory.Including those related to the construction of the temple in the blood pool outside, it is estimated that the knowledgeable people of the entire civilization died here.

A civilization that has lost its knowledge inheritors and leaders will soon lead to civil wars or flee because the land cannot support enough people when it loses magic and knowledge, and finally they will be completely barbaric.It is very likely that the much smaller city-states and pyramid temples in Central America were built by the people who fled here, but without enough magic and knowledge, they can only form some simplified civilizations.

No wonder the daughter of the Witch King said that she was no longer him. To completely destroy the civilization she built for the sake of eternal life is simply not something a normal human being can do.

After lamenting the destruction of a great civilization, Lane began to search for the loot from the coke on the ground.Every wizard carried a variety of magic props on his body before being sealed into the sculpture, but unfortunately, with the passage of time and the baptism of lightning just now, there are very few things that can really be left behind.

But it is definitely a good thing that can survive the double blow of the passage of time and thunderstorms. In the end, Ryan got an obsidian ceremonial knife, a meteorite amulet and an emerald slab with a gold edge. After asking the souls of the wizards in the sea, these The owner of the thing told Ryan how to use the magic item in front of him.

So Ryan harvested a small knife against spirits that can be used in magic rituals, an amulet that can withstand an instant death attack, and a magic tablet for corpse manipulation and corpse transformation.

In the end, Ryan burned the mummy into ashes with blazing flames, then took out a few empty bottles and filled them with ashes, and chose a good place in the hall to pry open the floor tiles and bury the bottles.After all, their souls have provided Ryan with a lot of help, and it would be inappropriate for them to stay here under such circumstances.So Lane did a little work to help them get buried.As for the blood pool just now, there is really no other way but to ask someone to bury it after going out.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Ryan went back to call Hermione back.When he found Hermione, she was sitting against the pillar, fingers crossed on her knees, praying for Lion.

"Are you alright?" Hermione asked as she saw the disheartened Ryan approaching, and immediately stood up.

"It's okay, I just got ashes on my body when I flipped through the loot after the fight." After speaking, Ryan handed the Meteorite Amulet to Hermione. "This thing can avoid an instant-death attack. You should bring it with you. After all, this place is very dangerous, and you can make me feel at ease with it."

Hermione nodded and took the amulet with her, and then the two came to the wooden door.

After checking the door according to the guidance of those 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 in gold armor and holding an obsidian spear.Ryan could even see the intricate tattoos on his face.

Subconsciously, the two of Ryan waved the things in their hands at the same time and prepared to cast a spell, especially Ryan felt extremely nervous now.Because there is an iron law in life magic, the more powerful the dead creature is, the smaller the difference is from when they were alive. He didn't even dare to think about how powerful the guy in front of him would be who was not much different from the living one.

But it might be because of the wind when he waved his arms, and the warrior quickly turned into powder in front of them.A set of gold equipment on his body fell to the ground with a crackling sound and fell everywhere.

Ryan stepped forward to check carefully, only to find that the warrior in front of him was already dead.But because it has been sealed for thousands of years, it is intact under the protection of magic.But after they opened the door, the airtight environment was completely broken, so he naturally turned into dust.

It turns out that, whether it is the color on the Terracotta Warriors or the lotus root slices in the Mawangdui Han Tomb, rapid weathering after the environment changes is a very common phenomenon in the archaeological field. Even if it is archaeological 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 walked forward. At this time, Ryan can be sure that they are now in another space in the temple.Because inside this door is a complete temple, and there is even a golden magic ball in the sky that releases light to act 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 ornately dressed priests seem to be going to the shimmering golden temple ahead to meet their gods.Everything is the same as when the Witch King was still alive.

But all the organic matter visible to the naked eye is rapidly weathering. Of course, when Ryan and the others walked ahead of the golden pyramid temple, everything before it disappeared.All that remained were piles of ashes and scattered stone and gold artifacts within the ashes.

"Do you want to stay here?" Ryan asked Hermione. "Because the temple above should be the most dangerous place here."

"I think if the things inside can defeat you, nowhere in this pyramid is safe, and I'm not a burden, maybe I can help you when I go up there." Hermione said firmly after thinking about it.

"Okay, let's go up together." After speaking, the two walked up the steps to the building at the top of the pyramid.
