Emma has been living in the Temple of Apocalypse and has no idea what is going on outside, and she has always thought that she was just an orphan. Unexpectedly, the words of the high priest at this moment made her vaguely find the key to the mystery of her life experience. However, there was no When she asked, the high priest was the first to speak: "Don't ask me why, I don't know the relationship between you and him, but when he sent you here, you were only a few months old."
After the high priest said these words, his dim figure became more and more blurred. Ryan knew that this was a sign that the high priest's soul was about to dissipate. Knowing that time was running out, he quickly asked: "The temple's What happened to the seal?"
"I don't have much time..." The high priest's voice also showed a hint of old age: "I have recorded everything about the seal in the diary. You can read it at will. In addition, please let those who have fallen into Please help the Templars who are suffering so much. I beg you."
"I'll do my best." Although Ryan didn't give a definite answer, this sentence was not much different from directly agreeing to the other party, and it also showed Ryan's own caution.
"Thank you." The high priest smiled with relief. His figure slowly turned white, slowly became transparent, and gradually disappeared in front of Ryan and the others, while the high priest's face remained calm. Smile, because he knows that he is finally no longer a hateful dead soul, which is the greatest comfort for a believer in God,
"That seal, unless absolutely necessary, do not touch it, remember, remember." The words of the high priest still echoed in everyone's ears, but his soul had been wiped out. Emma covered her face and gently She started to cry, but unfortunately she was in a state of a dead soul and couldn't shed even a single tear.
"Now is not the time to be sad, Emma." Ryan said softly: "Let's move on."
"Okay." Emma stopped sobbing, and habitually wiped her eyes with the back of her hands, hoping to wipe away the tears. However, she suddenly remembered that she was already a dead soul, and there was no way she could shed any more tears. Her heart was filled with tears. Once again, she felt endless sadness, but this time she did not cry out, but walked strongly towards the high priest's room,
The high priest's room was much larger than Emma's room, but the furnishings were still quite simple. Apart from the stone bed and other necessary appliances, there was only a thick table. Ryan tapped it lightly with his hand and found the table. It was not made of wood, but made of mithril, which made him curse the high priest in his heart.
Soon, Emma dug out the high priest's diary and handed it to Ryan. Because of the high priest's words before, Ryan opened it without hesitation and checked it slowly. According to the high priest's words, According to records, this Apocalypse Temple itself is a miracle. I don’t know how many years ago, and I don’t know why, a powerful god suddenly sealed a powerful creature in this plane. In order to prevent this seal from being accidentally used by others, Opened in the middle, the god built a magnificent palace here and began to develop his own followers on this continent.
In this way, the Temple of Apocalypse has been passed down from generation to generation. Because the templars who protect the temple have been blessed by the gods, they not only have the power to fight bravely like warriors, but can also unleash it like magicians. Magic, but this kind of spellcasting is not something they learned by themselves, but similar to priests, it is the power given by their gods.
The Templars with "double cultivation of magic and martial arts" are powerful, but the god may have some considerations in giving his followers powerful power while also giving certain restrictions. As long as his followers leave the scope of the Temple of Apocalypse, , this power will fail in an instant, and the Templars will quickly turn back into ordinary people. All they have is their strong bodies.
Therefore, the influence of the Templars is limited to the silent jungle area of the past, and the Keidrama Empire established based on the Temple of Apocalypse will send the best teenagers to the Temple of Apocalypse for training every year. If these teenagers do not survive in the next few years, If they find a way to become Templars, they will become the most elite warriors in the empire. Once the Idelama Empire is in crisis, the Templars will be dispatched to rescue it. Even without their innate magic, these powerful warriors Still a nightmare for ordinary soldiers,
Maybe it’s because the Templars are too powerful, maybe it’s because the Koyedrama Empire doesn’t expand at all, maybe it’s because this was the fiefdom of King Alexander a long time ago, so its power is relatively weak on the entire continent. The Idrama Empire actually existed peacefully. Countless empires more powerful than it would have perished in successive battles. On the contrary, this seemingly weak country became one of the seven countries on the continent and continued to exist until the Legion of the Undead. Sweeping the continent,
The catastrophe 200 years ago finally made the Koydrama Empire's luck run out. After being besieged by tens of millions of undead warriors for a full month, the demigod Lich Kangs launched a powerful dark ritual. , and the high priest's diary is only recorded here. Obviously after the ritual was launched, the high priest quickly lost his life and turned into a dead skeleton. As for what happened next, the high priest himself I don’t know anymore,
However, the high priest is not clear about it, but Ryan and the others can still understand it, because the catastrophe 200 years ago changed the situation of the entire continent, causing General Fernando, who was just a lord, to rise in the north, and then he defeated the undead army. Yuwei actually unified the continent that had been fighting endless battles. Although it was only in name, humans have reached the most powerful point in history. The orcs were driven away from the north, and the elves and dwarf allies in the south also took the initiative to give in. For example, the traditions of the elves In the territory of the Silent Forest, human footprints have now penetrated dozens of kilometers, but there is no trace of the elves at all. The dwarves have retreated to the west of the Rock Fortress and basically no longer care about things on the mainland.
This is true even for elves and dwarves. It is quite easy to understand that the annihilated Templar Knights slowly faded out of people's sight. Later, the Silent Jungle turned into a cursed swamp, with countless spiders, wyverns and other terrifying creatures surviving in it. There is even a powerful Hydra here. Now, almost no one knows about their deeds.
Ryan quickly opened the entire diary and had a rough understanding of the history of the Apocalypse Temple. However, when he turned to the last few pages of the diary, he unexpectedly saw several confusing descriptions. , the handwriting of these descriptions is quite sloppy, maybe the high priest wrote it in a hurry, maybe it was when the undead army launched the dark ritual to attack the Temple of Apocalypse,
The high priest made a rather vague guess in his diary about the reason why the undead army tirelessly attacked the Temple of Apocalypse. He felt that this seemed to have something to do with the seal under the temple. In addition, the high priest also vaguely mentioned the powerful creature. He thought that maybe this was not a powerful creature sealed as recorded in the temple books, but something else. However, the high priest did not have any means to prove his guess. He could not forcefully open the seal and take a look. What exactly is inside
Ryan simply told others what was recorded in the diary, and then began to solicit everyone's opinions. Since everyone was now in the high priest's room, and according to the method left by the high priest in the diary, the underground could be detected. The seal in the depths still remains intact. It seems that even the powerful dark ritual 200 years ago failed to interfere with the normal operation of the seal, or it is really made by gods, so they don't care about demigods. Lich's attack,
After having a brief exchange with the high priest, reading the diary left by the high priest, and using secret methods to check that the seal was intact, both Emma and Seres and others gave up going deep into the crypt to continue checking. instead of following Faras’s suggestion to return to Cassano,
Ryan and his group of seven people voted unanimously to return to Cassano. Although Ryan had previously agreed to the high priest's request to purify this place, the Temple of Apocalypse was so huge that thousands of Templars could not completely purify it in one day. After cleaning up, Ryan decided to return to Cassano first, and then send a group of outstanding warriors here every month to conduct trials. At the same time, he would also transport part of the materials here back to Cassano. This is a good way to kill three birds with one stone. After Ryan proposed it, everyone immediately agreed.
Returning to the entrance gate of the temple along the original path, Ryan spent three hours here setting up a defensive magic circle. Only then did he emerge from the water with confidence. The sky was full of stars outside. Adela and the others I have been waiting anxiously for a long time. If I hadn't seen Ryan's power, I might have sent someone to dive into the water to check.
Ryan let Emma's soul hide in a magic item he made temporarily, and then took Faras and the others back to the camp. Ryan didn't plan to let too many people know about the secrets of the palace at the bottom of the lake for the time being. In his plan, At most, they will only share this secret with a few confidants such as Vivian.
This time, Ryan and the others went to the Cursed Swamp to hunt Hydra. Not only did they harvest a Hydra corpse, giving Cassano's elite troops a chance to fight, but they also learned many secrets of the former Apocalypse Temple. They also obtained a large number of We used precious materials to arm Cassano, and he returned home with a full load.
