Chapter 282 The Residue of the Soul

The passage was extremely long, as if it would never end.

However, since it was only long in the physical sense, and there was no supernatural power such as magic, it was still possible to reach the end.

After walking for nearly an hour, the group finally saw the appearance of an exit in front of them.

Since the road they had walked on was a pilgrimage road, the end of the road should of course be a place like a large temple, and there must be a treasure house in the temple.

The temples were extremely rich, but most of them were guarded by devout priests and paladins. Adventurers who wanted to go in and plunder would be courting death, so the plunder of abandoned temples was very popular.

Seeing that they were about to reach the exit, the group quickened their pace, and even walked over in great joy.

Then they found that things were not exactly what they thought.

Outside the passage, the first thing that caught their eyes was a row of huge thrones. The backrests alone were nearly ten meters high. Such large seats were more like those for giants, not humanoid creatures.

There are seven thrones in total, forming a semicircle facing the entrance of the pilgrimage road, and they are all made of cold stone. There are no traces of precious metals such as gold and silver, nor are there any valuable gems.

Behind the thrones, there are gravels like a hill.

There are still traces of artificial carving on those stones. Rather than stones, they are ruins. It feels like they were once part of a huge and magnificent building, but then the building was blown up.

Seeing this scene, the smiles on the faces of the three adventurers froze instantly. If the temple was blown up, where would the treasure be found?

Aoerdai was not here to make a fortune, but she frowned slightly when she saw this scene.

Originally, she thought that the Demon King's Ring might be sealed in the temple. Now that the temple has become a ruin, do you have to dig it up bit by bit by yourself?

Speaking of which, the temple has been destroyed. Why are these seven huge thrones placed at the door?

Instantly, Aoerdai thought of the seven apostles. The number just matched. This should not be accidental.

She took out the amulet she had just obtained, and there was no response from the surroundings. She then took out the psychic crystal detector.

This time, the psychic crystal detector issued a rapid prompt sound, and the volume was higher than any previous time. It should have detected that the psychic crystal was nearby, and judging from the strength of the signal, it was probably not small.

Feeling lost, the four people followed the guidance of the psychic crystal detector and walked a few steps.

"The way in is gone!"

Hearing Nimya's voice, everyone looked back and saw that the passage they had just walked out of disappeared like smoke, and they could not return the same way.

To say that they were panicked, they were a little, but not much, after all, there was still Aoerdai, who could escape with group teleportation.

Speaking of Aoerdai, she didn't even look back, but waved her staff at the ground.

A whirlwind appeared out of thin air, rolling up the dust on the ground and taking it away, revealing a large piece of gem under the dust that reflected azure light in the magic light.

It was too big, and the diameter was probably seven or eight meters, forming a not very regular circle.

No, it's not a circle, but a heptagon.

Aoerdai found that every corner of this seven-sided psychic crystal was facing the huge throne arranged in a ring.

The psychic crystal detector led the group to easily bypass the maze and found this huge psychic crystal, but what next?

Where is the Demon King's Ring?

Where is the treasure?

Where is the dusty story?

Aoerdai stood up and looked around, trying to find something she might have overlooked.

At this moment, Aoerdai glimpsed with her peripheral vision that there seemed to be something shining right above her.

Looking up, she saw that in addition to the magic light she had lit, there was also a crescent-like light flickering on the invisible ceiling.

But it was different from the moonlight that could illuminate the night sky. The light was more concentrated, sweeping across the ruins of the temple like a searchlight, and moving towards the throne.

When Aoerdai noticed it, the light had already fallen on the throne, and the illuminated back of the throne immediately lit up with a huge rune half a person's height.

The unique light swept across the seven thrones one by one, and the runes lit up on each throne were different.

Those were not runes related to magic, but more like the emblems used by the nobles.

The reason why Ordai had this feeling was that she saw the runes lit up on the back of the throne facing her, which looked very much like the emblem of the Avarus royal family. Only the details were slightly different, and the main body was exactly the same.

Could it be that this was the original emblem of the seven apostles?

All high-level demons can be traced back to the seven apostles. Although not all high-level demons are royal families, the royal family must be high-level demons.

Ordai quickly took out her notebook and recorded all the runes in a few strokes. The original emblem of the seven apostles is of great historical research value.

But the others were not as calm as Ordai. Seeing the throne glowing, they retreated to the center of the circle formed by the throne and stood guard with their backs to back.

It turned out that their vigilance was very necessary, because just as everyone stood back to back, the brightness of the glowing runes on the throne began to increase, like the lenses of a projector, weaving illusory lines on the throne.

Finally, seven demon phantoms of different genders, different costumes and different ages appeared on the throne. They looked like ghosts, with an illusory sense of unreality, but they seemed to exist in reality, bringing a sense of oppression like a mountain pressing down on one's head.

"Who is disturbing our sleep...!"

He was speaking to the phantom of Ordai, his voice was hoarse, but the decibel was quite high, shaking people's ears.

"Are they alive?"

"Dead, they should be ghosts."

"But the question is why it is so loud!"

The three adventurers were a little panicked, but adventures are about what kind of shitty things can happen. They were panicked, but not panicked.

Ordai did not answer immediately, but observed carefully for a while, and then said loudly:

"What are you?"

This kid, really can't speak...

The phantoms stood up immediately after hearing this, and Ordai and his companions were surrounded by seven giants.

The effect is probably similar to a four or five-year-old child standing among seven tall and strong adults, full of oppression.

"Impolite! Watch your words in front of us!"

The roar of the seven giants was like a gust of wind, blowing everyone unable to open their eyes.

But Ordai had no intention of surrendering. She shouted with a voice amplified by magic:

"I am Ordai Avarus, the descendant of the Apostle of Greed!"

The seven huge phantoms laughed loudly upon hearing this, and the laughter shook the ground slightly.

The phantom facing Ordai said:

"My descendant? Why don't you kneel?"

"Hehe."

As if to fight back, Ordai chuckled and raised her staff. The brilliant magic light shot up into the sky, like a sharp sword tearing apart the darkness above her head, revealing the vast rock wall hanging high above her head.

The giants were stung by the light and took a half step back, as if they were afraid.

"My ancestor is the Apostle of Greed, not the remnant of your souls!"
