Dense translucent ghosts surrounded them.
Not to mention Stephanie, even Roland felt a little numb.
Because only a few of these ghosts are in 'complete' human form, while more ghosts remain in a dead state.
What about long tongues, severed hands and feet, loose intestines, etc.
All kinds of weird shapes.
Roland glanced at it, turned around and asked, "Stephanie, I want to ask a question. When you offered sacrifices in the past, didn't anyone use the Shadow to check?"
She shook her head repeatedly and held Roland's arm harder.
Roland looked at it carefully for a while and said, "These ghosts seem to be members of your royal family."
Um
Although Stephanie was afraid, she had not been the eldest princess for nothing for so many years. She had presided over many important events and had a large number of royal guards under her command for her to drive.
She has seen big scenes, seen wind, snow, blood and rain... If tens of thousands of living people stood in front of her, she would not blink an eye.
But this is a dense collection of terrifying ghosts.
I was very scared, but not so scared that I dared not speak or move.
Hearing Roland's words, she glanced over and realized that these ghosts were really all wearing royal clothes.
There are even elderly ghosts wearing crowns.
Stephanie's heart moved, and her eyes began to search among these ghosts. Soon, her pupils were fixed on a middle-aged woman.
Gradually, the fear disappeared from her face, and there were even water marks in her eyes.
"Mother!"
Stephanie looked at a middle-aged woman in the ghost, let go of Roland's hand, and subconsciously took a few steps forward.
But the middle-aged female ghost smiled and shook her head.
Stephanie stopped.
She just looked at the middle-aged woman steadily as time passed by.
The ghosts just watched, they didn't take another step forward.
Stephanie just watched and didn't want to step forward.
Soon, the ghosts gradually disappeared.
The duration of the Dust of Appearance has expired.
Stephanie wiped her eyes and returned to Roland.
There was much less fear on her face now.
Roland turned around and asked, "Do you need me to use the Developing Dust again?"
"No need." Stephanie shook her head: "I know my mother is content here."
"Keep going?"
Stephanie took the initiative to walk in front and said lightly: "I will lead the way."
Compared with before entering the royal tomb, Stephanie now gives people a more calm feeling.
It seems like there is a sense of security.
But it's normal to think about it. These so-called ghosts are almost all members of the royal family. They may be the souls of royal family members who have been here for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Her mother is here too.
But Roland felt strange... With so many souls crowded in one place, why weren't they taken away by Hades
Stephanie gradually walked faster and faster in front.
After crossing several high bridges and climbing several stone steps, when Roland felt like he was about to get lost, the two finally climbed to a platform.
This platform was very large. Only standing here did Roland realize that this platform seemed to be the center of the entire royal tomb.
Moreover, the 'net' formed by the dense stone bridges around it had just blocked it.
You can't see it from the way you came.
In the center of the platform, there is a magic circle in operation.
Although there is magic light, it is cold light... The light does not travel far, and more importantly, the center of the magic circle is lower than the surroundings.
"Payne's legendary necklace is in the center of the magic circle." Stephanie stood in the middle of the magic circle and said: "We usually go here when we offer sacrifices, but most of us don't know this magic. My father probably knows what the formation is for, but he didn’t tell me.”
Roland walked to the magic circle and looked at it carefully.
This magic array is a very common round shape, and the magic array patterns will slowly become brighter and brighter again, as if they are breathing.
And in the center of the magic circle, there is indeed a necklace made of white crystal.
There is a faint cloud of magic surging in the particles in each crystal that is as big as a thumb.
He looked for a while and finally found the entry point of the magic circle.
At this time Stephanie came over, stood beside him, and asked, "Can you see anything?"
"It's a bit vague, but it takes time to confirm." Roland looked around: "Do you still see that glowing female soul now?"
Stephanie shook her head repeatedly: "I guess she should be a member of our royal family."
"Hard to say."
Stephanie's heart was lifted and she looked at Roland with questioning eyes.
Squatting down and lightly touching the magic circle with his fingertips, a tiny bolt of lightning wrapped around Roland's fingers, and then quickly disappeared.
He stood up again and said: "There is a faint aura of evil here. It is exactly the same as the eroded area in your soul. It is also very similar to Peter, but it is not the same individual."
"What does this mean?"
Stephanie doesn't know much about magic, so she always adheres to the principle of asking if you don't understand.
"I don't know what the woman you saw looks like, but I know that she probably comes from the same place as the demons Peter provoked."
Stephanie's expression was a little annoyed: "In other words, these demons are coming to our royal city?"
Guess so!
Roland walked around the magic circle and said, "Now I roughly know what this magic circle is used for."
"oh?"
"It is used to protect the soul, and at the same time isolate the soul from being detected by the outside world." Roland clicked his tongue: "So this royal tomb is full of ghosts."
Stephanie thought for a while and said, "But what is the purpose of doing this? Another kind of eternal life?"
"I guess so." Roland thought for a while and asked, "What's the name of the king who cast the bronze door and threw iron blocks into the water?"
"Penn?"
"Humph, as expected." Roland smiled: "Actually, the trump card and trump card of your royal family is not the exaggerated bronze door or the large amount of iron blocks thrown into the water, but the ghosts of the royal family members in this royal mausoleum. .”
"ghost?"
Roland nodded: "I took a look just now. Each of these ghosts has good strength. In other words, this is a terrifying army of ghost professionals. Once your royal family is in danger, it is probably time to release them. ”
Stephanie was stunned for a moment, then clapped her palms suddenly: "As expected of our ancestors, we are thinking long-term."
"But this still doesn't solve the problem of erosion areas in your soul world." Roland looked at the necklace placed in the magic array: "This thing is the array eye. It has been providing the energy of the magic array for a long time. In addition, ordinary people cannot Take it out. The magic circle has its own protective function. It is estimated that the third prince just couldn't enter the magic circle, so he returned empty-handed. But what I am curious about is that this magic necklace is not a thousand years old, it must be hundreds of years old. Even if The energy of the magic cube, which supplies such a large magic formation, should have been used up, so why is it still supplying energy now?"
Stephanie showed an apologetic expression.
Even Roland didn't know magic knowledge, and it was even less likely that she would know it.
"I'll check."
The mage's curiosity was aroused, and Roland opened his spiritual tentacles and stretched into the eyes of the magic array.
Soon, more than a dozen spiritual tentacles were tied to the magic necklace in the middle.
Upon contact, you can feel constant magic flowing out of the magic necklace. The amount of flowing out is not large, not big at all, but if it has been flowing like this for hundreds or thousands of years, something is wrong.
Roland's spiritual tentacles stretched into the magic necklace and soon discovered something strange.
This magic necklace actually comes with a small world of souls.
And the magic power flows out from this small world of souls.
Roland's spiritual tentacles drilled a hole in the outside of the small world without hesitation, and then penetrated.
Then the picture flashed in his mind, and he found himself standing on a desolate red land.
In front of Roland, there was an old man sitting on a chair, wearing a crown.
And further away, there is a huge earth-walking winged demon.
It was twice the size of any walking winged demon Roland had ever seen in the demon world.
Even when crawling on all fours, his human-shaped upper body was at least six meters tall.
The expression of this walking winged demon was quite painful. Green blood was flowing all the time on his body. The green blood was bubbling and bubbling, flowing to the ground, and then poured into the stratum and disappeared.
The magic power is leaking... is it because of this
Roland looked at the old man.
The old man wearing the crown looked absently into the distance, and then seemed to feel Roland's gaze. He did not turn his head, but simply spoke: "Ru... Erna... do you still want to fight... me?"
His voice was very hesitant, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time and didn't even understand the words.
Roland answered: "I am not Lurna, old man, who are you?"
When the old man heard Roland's words, his whole body suddenly trembled. Then he slowly turned his head, and his eyes, which had been almost completely numb, came back to life.
"My goddess is actually a young outsider."
He looked at Roland with feverish eyes, and then gradually stood up: "I can't believe it."
Roland keenly noticed that the old man seemed to be about to cry.
Why was he so excited? He subconsciously took a few steps back.
Seeing Roland retreat, the old man became anxious: "Don't go, don't go. I don't mean to hurt you. Come and chat with me. I haven't chatted with a normal person in more than seven hundred years."
Roland turned his head and looked not far away. The walking winged demon was bound to the ground and could be said to be 'sleeping'!
"Old man, who are you?"
"I am the seventh generation king of France." The old man adjusted his golden crown: "Penn, the Lion-Hearted King."
"Payne's legendary necklace..."
"I made it." He waved his hand, and a round table and chairs appeared between the two of them, followed by some fruit wine and pastries: "Young man, tell me, how is the situation outside now?"
"France is still the most powerful country." Roland sat on the chair and said, "The country is now peaceful."
“Has the land area expanded?”
"Not sure."
"How could you not be clear?" King Payne was obviously anxious.
"I'm not from France." Roland smiled: "Besides, the royal family has no continuous historical records. I have no idea how big France was hundreds of years ago."
"As far as Froststar Kingdom in the north, Elf Forest in the west, Orc Red Lake in the south, and the sea in the east." Old Penn said with a proud smile: "I captured most of them."
"That's far from it." Roland thought for a moment and said, "It's probably only one-third of what you were at that time."
"Trash, unfilial, useless thing." When Old Penn heard this, he was so angry that his beard almost stood up: "Is it easy for me to conquer such a large country? I would have become emperor soon, if it weren't for the Guangming Cult. … By the way, what is the situation of the Light God Religion now?”
"It's about the same as the Kingdom of France, relatively balanced."
Old Penn breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not bad, it's not bad."
"Old King, you actually conquered such a large territory. You must be very good at governing the country and also good at fighting." Roland asked.
"Actually, they are all average." Old Payne laughed proudly: "My most powerful thing is magic. The second strongest magician back then was me, Demigod Payne and Lion-Hearted King Payne. Every time I fought, I was fifty. When the flaming meteors hit each other at the same time, not many people can withstand it, hahahahahaha!"
Demi god!
Roland was surprised.
Looking at Roland's expression, the old Penn felt even more vain, and his laughter became even more arrogant.
Roland couldn't help but asked: "So, who is the first?"
"Mythra!" Pain's smile suddenly became more than half full: "That girl is obviously younger than me, but it only took her thirty years to surpass me. This world is really unfair."
Roland felt that he was being shown off... He had reached the level of a demigod, and this meant that the world was unfair.
How many people in the Red Magic Tower have the lifelong goal of becoming a legend, and even demigods dare not even think about it.
Elford and other legendary masters believe that in the remaining tens or hundreds of years, they will definitely have no chance to challenge the demigods. Although they smile on the outside, they don't know how desperate they are in their hearts.
"Old King, you are too modest and have gone too far." Roland felt that for the first time, he was suppressed by someone's magic talent.
It feels weird.
Old Penn laughed: "It's okay. I'll teach you a few tricks to quickly accumulate the upper limit of magic power. Even if you are not as stunning as me, you are definitely no worse than other geniuses."
Roland's eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh? Old man, please tell me."
"The first method is..." Old Penn was about to tell his experience, but suddenly remembered something: "Wait, I almost forgot, who are you?"
"Roland. Member of the Red Magic Tower."
"Red Magic Tower?" Old Penn shook his head: "I've never heard of it. How did you get into the tomb of our King of France? You are an outsider. Are you a tomb robber?"
"I am a mage, not a tomb robber."
"Ha, you think I'm not a mage?" Old Payne said with contempt: "The more powerful the mage is, the more he likes to rob tombs. There is a lot of past knowledge in it. If you can find books or records about magic, I will publish it. And Most ancient books can only be read by powerful mages who are 'proficient in writing', so generally speaking, mages like to rob tombs the most."
Roland felt that what he said made sense and could not refute it.
"Forget it, do me a little favor and I'll teach you how to accumulate the maximum magic limit."
"Please tell me." Roland stood up: "Just don't let me kill people and slay gods."
