Ji Yijun pushed the door open a crack and found that there was a porch at the entrance. He did not see the two people inside, so he opened the door and walked in.
"Huh?" Ji Yijun looked at the ceiling in shock after entering the door. The house looked only two stories high from the outside, but from the inside it felt like it was four or five stories high. This made the entrance seem extremely wide, making people feel like they were in the middle of a large hall.
"This should be the lost space magic of the Star Tower." Morey sighed softly, "In our time, being able to make a space bag is considered a master."
The decoration inside this house is simple and elegant, yet a bit luxurious. The ceiling of the entrance hall is all made of glowing mosaics to create a starry sky. The stars in the sky emit a soft glow, giving the whole room a distant atmosphere. On the surrounding walls hang a dozen portraits, some of whom are wearing robes, and some in casual clothes. They may be the owners of this house and their relatives and friends.
The door from the entrance to the main hall was half open. Everyone followed the voices of the two people and walked inside. They passed through two halls and came to the door of a room that might be a laboratory. They finally heard what was being said inside.
"… It's too dangerous. Brother. How do you know what problems will arise if we wake him up? Although he is our ancestor, he is not a good person in any sense! A Saint-level wizard, no matter what he does, we have no room to resist, right? Haven't you heard of those stories where wizards use their souls to take over other people's bodies?"
"You don't understand! This is related to the inheritance of our family. We have searched the entire house and couldn't find the two books! I believe that they must be placed in the storage ring that Emperor Rick carried with him. We must open the ice coffin to confirm this. Maybe, maybe when we open the ice coffin, he will be dead." Adam said.
"What book is it? You still haven't told me!" Ola shouted.
A long silence followed. The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time. Adam finally said, "Those are... two sacred books of the Seven Holy Towers!"
"What, the Holy Scripture? The Seven Holy Towers? How many things are you hiding from me? Why have I never known this?"
"Ola, you are my sister. Since our father died, I have watched you grow up in his place. These things... I really don't want you to be involved in these things."
"But didn't you bring me here anyway? But you kept it a secret from me all the way here, and you even lied to Lord Luo Ling and the others. How are you going to explain this to them when the time comes?"
"Listen! We can talk about this later. I can explain it slowly, but the first thing is to find the book. Otherwise, everything will be in vain."
"What are these two books? You must tell me clearly, otherwise I will never let you open the ice coffin."
"Okay! One is the Spirit-Giving Magic Book from the Tower of Forge, and the other is the Secret Index from the Tower of Stars," Adan whispered. "Aren't you surprised that the royal family of the Black Dragon Empire, which rose to power through military force, became golem masters hundreds of years after the founding of the country? It's because of these two books."
"Do you know how those golems were given souls and can fight on their own? It was done with the help of the Soul-Empowering Magic Book."
"Oh my god, do you still want to do something like extracting the souls of dwarves?"
"It doesn't have to be dwarves, maybe animals or something else, or some dying people, anyway, just like what those magicians are doing now. The key is that we can do it too!"
"But the Black Dragon Empire also had these, and in the end they still lost."
"That's different. At that time, the rebels had the help of the elves and the sea people, and dissatisfied farmers joined their team. But today, they don't have any allies, and all the farmers are dissatisfied with themselves!
We are different. We can contact the Purple Eagle Empire in the north, the Free City-States in the south, and even the elves who always have a lot of opinions about humans. There are also those dissatisfied nobles. In any era, there will always be some ambitious people who are ready to make a move.
Now the tables can be turned, they have gone from hunter to prey, and if we have enough power we can join the hunt."
"elder brother… "
"And do you think there is any hope if we keep waiting like this? How many people in the camp still have hope of restoring their country?"
"But those uncles are all loyal."
"Humph! Loyal? Of course they are loyal when it comes to profitable things, but once they are asked to give up something they have in their hands and pursue more long-term things, they all become reluctant!
Some people want to whitewash their identities and become a minor noble, some want to become horse thieves and rob for fun. Some people even want to sell us out for credit, do you know?"
"Ah? How come?"
"How do you think old Johnson died last year? Did he stumble on horseback? Matthew and I chased him for two days and two nights and killed him outside the city of Maka."
"how so!"
"Ora, you are my princess. I really don't want you to worry about these things, but our situation is really much worse than you can imagine.
Do you know why I only brought Matthew and the other two here? Because I don't have many people I can trust! Think about it, we have fallen to a point where even a magician can't do anything, and we can only turn to these people of unknown origin for help.
This time I came here to find an opportunity to change. I didn’t tell you many things because I was worried that you would let them slip. These things are too eye-catching.”
"I, I don't know, I don't know what to do..."
"Just let me do it. Now get out of the way and I'll open the ice coffin."
Ji Yijun outside was about to rush in when he heard this, but was stopped by Luo Ling. She moved her lips and said silently: Wait a minute.
Sure enough, a dozen seconds later, Aura spoke again: "But you're not even a mage. Can what you do really change anything?"
A Dan was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Do you think that all the emperors of the Black Dragon Empire have cultivated to the Saint level?"
"What do you mean?"
"The bloodline of our Black Dragon Empire royal family is very special. When our family and the Queen's family combine, the offspring born have a certain chance of awakening an extremely rare bloodline - Devouring Bloodline. Under certain conditions, we can devour a person's entire spiritual power and make it a part of ourselves. And the closer the bloodline, the greater the possibility. You haven't awakened this bloodline, but I have awakened the Devouring Bloodline!"
"You, you actually want to devour Emperor Rick's power!"
"Yes, he also devoured his father's power, just like the ancestor who discovered this place at the very beginning. He accidentally awakened his bloodline and devoured the power of a holy-level wizard who was lingering in an ice coffin. This opened up our family's magical heritage. This is our family's destiny."
