One hundred and ninetieth chapters view death as life

? In the messy hall, Lane asked Can you tell me what's behind this door?

It was the palace where the Witch King lived. Everything in it was prepared for his immortality. A young witch soul standing in the back row said, The Witch King inside is my father, who once When I was talking to myself in the palace, I heard him, and when he found me, I was made into a cocoon.

It seems that there will be no other traps ahead. Thinking of this, Ryan is in a better mood, so he asks 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, saluted Ryan, and said. The Witch King is great, but he's no longer him after that quest for immortality. We hope you'll take us in and take him where he's supposed to go. That way we'll be able to make up our minds, and then at the end of death down the road.

Signing an oath with death itself again, Ryan moved into a group of temporary residents in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Ryan finally knew why such a powerful civilization disappeared without a trace. Not everyone can make a corpse cocoon. More than 30 corpse cocoons represent at least 300 dead behind them. wizard.

After all, the stronger anything in the magical world, the lower the success rate of production. In Lane's life magic inheritance, the success rate of making a corpse 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 nowhere near as high.

Even according to what the wizard souls just said, the Witch King had already understood the mystery of life and death when he created them. The success rate of this kind of thing is also not more than 1 in 10.

Then think about the complex writing system of this civilization is very unfavorable to the spread of culture, the number of wizards may be a little less than other civilizations (illiterate people can never reach the level of normal wizards.). The wizards that the Witch King killed in order to make the cocoons were probably most of the wizards in the territory. In addition to those people in the blood pool outside who were related to the construction of the temple, it is estimated that the entire civilization mastered the knowledge and died here.

A civilization that has lost its bearers and leaders of knowledge will soon lead to civil war or flight because the land cannot bear enough population in the case of loss of magic and knowledge, and finally they will be completely savage. It is very likely that the much smaller city-states and pyramid temples in Central America were built by the people who escaped here, but in the absence of sufficient magic and knowledge, they can only form some simplified civilizations.

No wonder the Witch King's daughter said that he was no longer him. For the sake of eternal life, he completely destroyed the civilization he had built up. This was not something a normal human could do at all.

After lamenting the destruction of a great civilization, Ryan began to search for loot from the coke on the ground. Each wizard was sealed with various magical props before being sealed into the sculpture, but unfortunately, with the passage of time and the lightning baptism just now, there are very few things that can really be left.

But it is definitely a good thing to survive the double blow of the passage of time and the thunderstorm. Ryan finally obtained an obsidian honor guard knife, a meteorite amulet and an emerald slate with a gold edge. After asking the souls of the wizards in the sea of ​​​​knowledge, these The owner of the thing told Ryan how to use the magic tool in front of him.

So Lane harvested a knife for spirits that could be used in magical rituals, a talisman that could withstand an instant death attack, and a magic stone tablet for skilled corpse manipulation and corpse transformation.

In the end, Ryan burned the mummified corpse into ashes with raging flames, then took out several empty bottles and filled them with ashes, and picked 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, so it would be inappropriate for them to stay here in this situation. So Ryan put in a little effort to help them settle down. As for the blood pond just now, there is really no other way, so I can only ask someone to bury it after I go out.

After clearing the battlefield, Ryan went back and called Hermione back. When he found Hermione, she was sitting there leaning against the pillar, fingers crossed on her lap, praying for Ryan.

Are you alright? Hermione asked when she saw Ryan, who was a little disgraced, come over and stood up immediately.

It's alright, I just got the ash on me when I turned over the spoils after the fight. After finishing speaking, Ryan handed the meteorite amulet to Hermione. This thing can avoid an instant-death attack. You can take it with you. After all, it is very dangerous here. You can bring this thing to my mind.

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

After checking the door according to the guidance 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 golden 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 to cast the spell at the same time, especially Ryan felt extremely nervous now. Because there is an iron law in life magic, the more powerful the dead creatures, the smaller the difference between them and when they were alive. He didn't even dare to think about how powerful a guy like him who was not much different from living would be.

But it was probably because of the wind when he waved his arms, that the samurai quickly turned into powder in front of them. A set of golden equipment on his body crashed to the ground and fell everywhere.

Ryan stepped forward to check carefully, only to find that the warrior in front of him had already died. But because this place 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 Qin figurines or the lotus root slices in the Mawangdui Han tomb, the rapid weathering after the environment changes is a very common phenomenon in the archaeological world. Even if this is archaeology in the magical world, many principles are common.

After figuring out the reason, Ryan and the others bypassed the pile of golden armor in the middle of the road and walked forward. At this time, Ryan could be sure that they were now in another space in the temple. Because inside this gate is a complete temple, and there is even a golden magic ball in the sky that releases light as the sun.

Time seems to be 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 lavishly dressed priests looked like they were heading to the glittering temple in front of them to meet their gods. Everything was the same as when the Witch King was 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, all the previous ones disappeared. Only piles of ashes and scattered stones and gold objects were left.

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 that, the two walked down the steps to the building at the top of the pyramid.
