Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

On the outskirts of Backlund, on a fertile field.A river came rushing from a distance and made a bend by the cliff in front of it.One side of the cliff is bare, showing pure white rocks, looking from a distance, there is a kind of unusually holy beauty.

At the bend of the river, there is also a hidden underground entrance.

"Is it right here?"

Ember quietly stared at the entrance of the cave that seemed to want to choose someone to eat, and stood there thinking for a moment.Then he pushed aside the weeds and shrubs that served as a cover, and walked slowly underground.

Inside the cave is a mausoleum, a mausoleum of the great aristocratic Amon family from the Quaternary Epoch.The information about the mausoleum was revealed to him by Klein, because Klein thought Ember might be interested.And that was indeed the case, otherwise the embers would not have come.

After 2000 years of erosion, the steps made of black marble still maintain sufficient hardness without any sign of corrosion.Ember followed it all the way to the ground, and saw the asymmetrical stone pillars with Quaternary characteristics and patterns like knives and axes.

The pillars stood on either side of a wide road, dividing shadowy corners shrouded in darkness.Even Ember couldn't help suspecting that there would be a ferocious and terrifying monster jumping up from the darkness in the next second, roaring and rushing towards him.

But when the embers approached, the holy light from the sunworm helmet on his head immediately dispelled the darkness and illuminated the surrounding road.There is nothing in those seemingly dark corners, only stone slabs polished by the same black marble.

Finally, he came all the way to the end of the passage.Ahead is a huge, heavy, dark gray stone door that opens in opposite directions.The stone gate has cracked open, allowing two people to come in side by side, and the inside is deep.

"Snapped!"

Ember stopped in front of the door, and glanced at the two sides of the stone door, as if there were some terrifying monsters hidden behind it.After all, he has been insulted more than once or twice, and it is extremely insulting.

After thinking for a while, he took out the ashes——

"Jingle bell~!"

In the dark passage, the crisp sound of bells echoed continuously.And as the bell rang, three tall silver knights wearing bright silver armor and helmets decorated with horns showed their figures in a burst of gray mist.Without exception, they all held long swords and heavy knight shields carved with deep grooves.

The eyes under their helmets shone with a deep light, and they understood their duties the moment they were summoned.In the sound of metal clashing against armor, rush forward fearlessly into the darkness ahead!Their steps are extremely heavy, but their speed is so fast that it is beyond ordinary people's imagination!
"Roar!"

There seemed to be a monster's roar in the darkness, and a ferocious monster hiding behind the stone door could be vaguely seen in the launch of the bright silver armor, and rushed towards the tall knight.But in mid-air, he was hit by the side of the Silver Knight, and directly lifted it up against the Silver Knight's shield, and then swung the long sword to stab the monster's body.

More and more monsters pounced on the silver knight from the darkness, and then died under the silver knight's long sword.

But Ember standing behind the stone gate was not in a hurry to enter, he was holding the twilight amulet presented by Siris in his hand.At the same time, the dark energy exuding a disturbing aura began to gather continuously in Ember's palm, and finally flew towards the deep darkness behind the stone gate like a spiral.

"Snapped!"

"Zizizizi~!"

Amidst countless tiny rustling sounds, the dark energy falling on the ground instantly evolved countless tiny black beetles!They formed a black wave, frantically eating everything in front of them like army ants!
And this is a rare dark miracle among miracles——

【The Erosion of Doris】

[Crazy Mentor - Doris' Miracle.

It can summon a swarm of bugs to devour enemies violently.

Those who stand on the edge of the abyss sometimes stumble and fall,

At this time, she can get benefits and will definitely be intoxicated by it. 】

"Boom!"

After finishing off the enemy, the silver knight put away his long sword, and his eyes under the helmet revealed a deep light.They didn't stop, but rushed forward quickly, and the sound of heavy footsteps gradually drifted away.During the period, there seemed to be a heavy impact sound, as if some mechanism had been triggered.

And also going away is the swarm of insects that make up the purest Kuroshio, they will not disappear until they completely devour everything in front of them!
Ember nodded slightly, then started to walk slowly through the stone gate.

With the soft light of the sunworm helmet, Ember could see the smudges and fragments on the ground. They all belonged to those monsters hiding in the dark, but now they have been bitten by the swarm. There are a few residues left that barely prove the traces of their existence.

But that's all, just relying on these remaining smudges, it is impossible to tell what kind of monsters were active here, and it is impossible to guess the functions of the institutions that were preset here.

Under the opening of the silver knight and the swarm, the road behind the stone gate is unimpeded, and only the extraordinary characteristics of one place remain.While picking up the loot, Ember kept going deeper into the mausoleum.

But along the way, Ember began to have some doubts, could this mausoleum be just a suspicious tomb?
After all, according to the usual practice, in the tomb of a nobleman, there are more or less things that indicate his status and glory during his lifetime.And when the tomb becomes a mausoleum, or even a mausoleum, with enough space, it is very common to use murals to tell the life of the owner. This is not uncommon in the older and more ignorant ages, and it is even the most common method Humans first learned to draw pictures, not words.

Even the mysterious island he once arrived under Alger's leadership, there are also a large number of murals in the ruined mausoleum.In the current Amon family's mausoleum, the walls on both sides of the passage are empty, not only are there no similar murals, even the decorations are lacking.

"Clap!"

Finally, after walking a certain distance, Ember saw a picture frame.It was hung on the wall seven or eight meters away in front of it. It was brownish yellow in color, with obvious wood texture, and only the side was exposed for the time being.

This is the only decoration along the way, except for those monsters in the dark, and anyone can see its weirdness.

Ember put it away conveniently, and glanced at the introduction at the same time.

【Ghost Frame】

[A magical item originating from the Quaternary Amon family,
Just step into its range, be reflected by it,
The spirit body will instantly leave the flesh and blood and become a portrait,

be sealed in it forever. 】

Ember instantly understood that this painting was probably the real trap of this mausoleum.Even if someone is lucky enough to pass through the blockade of those monsters and come here, as long as they want to pass through this passage, they must pass through this painting.

And if a person who doesn't know the details of the picture comes here, once he stands in front of this picture, he will be instantly reflected by it, and the spirit body will be separated from the flesh and blood and turned into a portrait, until the death of the body.It has to be said that this painting has the attribute of 'seeing light to die'. It can be said to be a pretty good magical item. It is not unreasonable for the Amon family to place it here.

"But now, the painting is mine."

Ember closed her eyes and continued to walk towards the main tomb at the end of the corridor.At the end of the corridor, did the three silver knights and the black bug swarm stay there? They seemed to be blocked by something.

When the embers approached, they discovered that there was a black stone door full of patterns like knives and axes.

Under the light of the sunworm helmet, Ember saw the whole picture of Shimen.There is a gray-white disc inlaid in the middle of it. The surface of the disc is divided into twelve grids, and there is a black pointer, just like an outside clock.However, those grids did not evenly distribute the disk surface, there were large and small, extremely uncoordinated, and half of each grid was smeared with shadows.

This immediately made Ember think of the Worm of Time left after the demise of Amon's clone, because Amonka was unable to move in the door at that time.The worm of time was finally left in the outside world, and was obtained by the little 'sun', which created the lie that 'Amon' was hostile to the 'true creator'.

Ember put away her thoughts and walked slowly towards the stone gate.Along the way, the swarms of insects that covered the corridors were pushed away to both sides, revealing the smooth marble floor that has not changed black after thousands of years, welcoming the arrival of embers like a loyal servant.

Ember stopped in front of the stone door, pressed her hands on both sides of the stone door without any hesitation, and pushed it out forcefully.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the heavy opening sound of the stone door, it was slowly pushed open a deep passage for two people to pass through.But Ember didn't have the idea of ​​continuing to push it, but let it just half open.

"Bang bang bang!"

The silver knights stepped into the tomb first with heavy steps, and the black beetles followed closely behind, filling up the fairly spacious tomb almost instantly, searching for anything that might pose a threat.

In the center of the tomb is a high platform, on which a dark black coffin is placed.There are iron-colored lamp stands on the surrounding walls, holding white candles that are still burning quietly.All the candles are not flickering, and they seem to be just a frozen picture quietly, without any trace of 2000 years of time erosion.

On the straight line from the stone gate to the coffin, corpses fell one after another. They were either wearing black woolen overcoats and half-height silk top hats, or they were dressed as ordinary workers with peaked caps. People who get in here.

Without exception, the corpses all had thinning white hair, dry and wrinkled skin, and obvious markings, like eight or ninety-year-olds.There were no obvious wounds on their bodies, and they seemed to be alive and dead, and they had just died not long before they had time to rot.

"The authority of time?"

Ember raised her eyebrows a little, and immediately thought of Amon's ability - after the death of Amon's avatar, the Worm of Time would be left behind, and in the classics of the City of Silver introduced by Little Sun, there were eight kings of angels beside the 'Creator', One of them is the Angel of Time.And this Angel of Time is likely to be Amon, who holds the authority similar to manipulating time?
The only question is, how did these people get in here?
There are countless monsters in the tomb, there are ghost picture frames in the corridor, and there is a heavy stone door at the end of the corridor that has not been opened at all.The barriers were intact before the embers arrived. How did these people bypass those organs and traps and come to this tomb without a sound?
Taking a step back, even if they were lucky enough to bypass those monsters and successfully passed through the trap of the ghost picture frame.But what happened to the closed stone door?It couldn't be that after they died here, someone thoughtfully closed the stone gate for them, right?

Or, there is another possibility——

"Extraordinary with special abilities."

Ember looked at those corpses, frowning slightly.

As far as he knew of the Extraordinary pathway, the door pathway could do everything that was mentioned earlier - even if he was just an apprentice, relying on his ability to pass through walls, he might not be able to pass through the blockages and traps of those monsters intact.

You don't even need to open the door, you can directly pass through the stone door and enter the tomb.But if this is the case, then where is the extraordinary characteristic of these corpses?It can't be that all the people who come to this tomb are ordinary people, right?
Ember looked forward, and stopped on a picture frame turned upside down at the bottom of the high platform.The Kuroshio formed by the swarm stopped around the high platform, forming a circle around it, leaving a large gap around the high platform.Because any bug that entered this 'gap' had already died in an instant and returned to nothingness.

After thinking for a while, Ember slowly started walking towards the high platform in a leisurely manner.

One step, two steps, three steps, as the distance to the high platform got closer and closer, Ember could clearly feel that there was some kind of power affecting his body - that was the mighty power from time.If it is a normal person, at this moment, I am afraid that he is aging at a speed beyond ordinary people's imagination. His teeth are falling out, his white hair is withering, his skin is dry and wrinkled, and he is quickly dying.

However, this method has no effect on Embers at all.Although the power was constantly affecting his body, Ember's pace did not slow down because of this, he just walked to the high platform step by step, bent his knees, bent his back, and turned the upside-down picture frame over.

"Wow!"

As the picture frame was turned over, a wind suddenly blew in the closed mausoleum, blowing away the invisible confinement and silence.The candles on the iron-colored lamp stand burned quickly and became extremely bright, but they soon came to the end of their life and melted away.The old corpses on the ground were rapidly decomposing, emitting a stench.At the same time, the Extraordinary characteristics of the corpse were slowly condensed, and some even combined with certain parts of the body to form a terrifying magical item.

Ember didn't move forward in a hurry, but looked down at the flipped picture frame in her hand. It was a portrait painting of a young man with a smile on his mouth.Black eyes, black curly hair, broad forehead, thin face, crystal monocle, black pointed soft hat.

Ember had seen this person before, and seen him being stuck in the door. His name was Amon.

Ember frowned slightly, put away the picture frame casually, and continued to walk along the stairs to the high platform, towards the black coffin.He stretched out his hands to press the lid of the coffin, and pushed hard.

"Squeak!"

With a tooth-piercing heavy friction sound, the lid of the coffin was slowly lifted.But there was no corpse inside. The inside of the coffin was empty, only a layer of pale gold cushion was laid on the bottom, and a worm with twelve rings was embroidered on the cushion.

Ember thought for a while, and immediately put away the golden cushion—after all, everyone has come, so they can't just leave empty-handed, right?
It was just that he had just put away the cushion, and when he was considering whether to take it with him along with the coffin, a voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Isn't it somewhat impolite of you?"
