"Didn't get it yet?"
Xia De asked, the witch eating the apple smiled:
"Yes, Xia De, you are very sharp. It is indeed temporary. The "Threaded Text" was submitted to the gods last time, and the "Unnamed Sacrifice Book" describing the power of the sun was found but it was sealed and cannot be obtained temporarily. But the description There is no seal on the Death Mystery "Jegger Long Scroll", and we can get it now. We planned to wait until the end of the long black snow to get it, but since you have appeared, let's go get it now."
She glanced at the pale Miss Samuel, who was shivering like a bad cold:
"Becky, you stay here to take care of the luggage and my apprentice. Shade, you go with me. Black Snow doesn't seem to have any effect on you."
"Yes, I am immune to the power of death."
"It's more convenient."
She stood up, her cloak covering her lace-up women's boots. Seeing Xia De staring at her boots, he joked again:
"If you like to watch, then this journey has time, you can watch as you like."
"I did not mean that......"
"It doesn't matter."
She signaled to Xia De that there was no need to explain further, and then walked out the door first.
All the nearby ruins are part of the Gaddis Library, but due to the collapse of the building and other weird reasons, it is impossible to go to every corner of the library from the foyer where the bonfire is located, so it is necessary to find another entrance to enter the library deeper.
After leaving the hall, the undead revived by the black snow noticed them again.
Miss Olanord took Shad's hand and brought it into the air again. The two used the moonlight to temporarily disperse the evil spirits in the air, but they did not let down their vigilance:
"Be careful, souls are not the only ones who can fly."
"Roar!"
The astonishing roar even made Xia De worry that it would cause an avalanche, and the black spots that appeared in the distance of the black snow seemed to be...
It was a huge skeleton with wings growing from its back and bone spurs all over the long tail behind it. The red light in the eye sockets was jumping, vaguely reminding Xia De of Darkness's human pus form.
"Bone Dragon. There are too many ruins buried in the dead valley, and the Gaddis library is only a part, which flew over from another place. Shade, hold on to me."
Facing the black snow, the thirteen golden steps are shining brightly.
"Moonlight Great Sword!"
This is a familiar name, but the big sword extending from Miss Olanode's hand is almost a hundred meters long:
"Oh~"
The translucent orange weapon swung forward in a sweeping gesture, sweeping the wind and snow, almost turning the sky yellow. The skeleton dragon had no chance to dodge at all, so it became a wreck under the sword.
The giant sword disintegrated into sporadic light spots and flew around, and Miss Olan Nord also pulled Shad into the dark cave on the side of the cliff. After entering the interior of the building, the undead outside became quiet again.
"The Moonlight Great Sword just now is really powerful."
Xia De let go of Miss Oranold's hand, and praised from the bottom of his heart. The latter clapped his hands, and then summoned three fireballs to surround him and provide light at the same time:
"[Moonlight Great Sword] is quite an ancient thaumaturgy, simple and effective. Over the long years, users have developed many forms and effects of it. If I have time, I can tell you in detail, but Come with me now."
After looking around to determine the location, they walked all the way inward along this dark passage. The musty smell of boots stomping on the dusty floor was almost unbearable. This road is very strange, there are no doors and windows on both sides, only mottled murals, and there is no road at the end of the passage, only a statue as tall as a person stands in front of the wall.
By the light of those fireballs, Shad saw the statue. Its image is a skeleton man in a robe, holding a stone slab tightly with his bony arms. The material of the statue is bronze, but the surface has been rusted and mottled, probably standing here for countless years.
Because the surface was rusted, the metal was no longer smooth, which instead made the skeleton look like densely packed bone spurs, making its appearance even more weird and terrifying.
The more he stared at it, the more Xia De felt something was wrong with it. When his eyes met those empty eye sockets, a suction force seemed to **** Shade's spirit into it.
The white hand blocked Xia De's eyes, and Miss Olan Nord blocked Xia De from seeing the skeleton:
"Don't look at it, it's not something a living person should touch.
I once heard the teacher mention this, the soul-forging skeleton, the taboo alchemy weapon made by the people of the second era using distorted knowledge, is the same as the so-called 'giant soldier', and is the servant of the ancient extraordinary. That slate is the "Yegger Scroll". We found it when Fiona was in an accident, but we never took it because we wanted to send Fiona back. "
As he said that, he stopped Xia De behind him, and then stretched out his hand to touch the stone slab held by the skeleton.
There was a slight cracking sound, and there was a blood-oozing crack on Miss Olanode's palm. She withdrew that hand, and as the green smoke covered the surface of the hand, the cracks slowly healed. This is the elf's healing technique:
"Maliciousness towards the living is the characteristic of this kind of evil alchemy weapon. It would have been a bit more troublesome to fool the statue by temporarily transforming yourself into an undead creature, but since you are here, Shade, come and get it."
She motioned for Shad to come forward.
"For this era, you haven't been born at all. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he led Xia De by the hand and came to the skull statue.
Since she said so, Xia De stretched out his hand carefully. In the process of reaching the palm forward, nothing really happened. Just when his hand was about to touch the stone slab, the skeleton moved abruptly.
Instead of launching an attack, the arms moved to block Shad's hand, preventing him from touching the slate:
"You are not the living... what are you?"
The monotonous voice speaks in a language Shad has never heard, which is presumably the language in which the skeleton was made. After Xia De translated for Miss Olan Nord, he replied:
"I am human."
"Are you... the resurrected one?"
"Yes."
Xia De once entered and exited from the gate in front of the water area, and it can indeed be regarded as resurrection from the dead. In this way, the third candidate's two conditions of "eyes are related to death" and "almost capable of resurrection from death" are all met by Shade. His eyes can see things that normal ring magicians can't see. undead.
"Answer a question, and this book can be handed over to you."
Xia De raised his eyebrows, and after asking the witch behind him again, he replied:
"Of course, what's the problem."
"What is death?"
After translating to Miss Olan Nord, the latter wanted to answer, but Xia De stopped her with a smile:
"I know the question, I know it quite well."
As he spoke, his unstretched left hand touched the air lightly, and the black gap immediately opened. After the gap, there is a shoal in front of the calm waters.
That is not the underworld, it is just a conceptual place where the concept of "death" appeared due to the observation of living people, so it does not have the concept of time and space. Theoretically speaking, anyone who opens a passage to this place from any place in any era will come to the same place. But it is precisely because of the observation that the same "position" should be different.
Therefore, behind the gap at this time, there is no Shade's "Tree Kiss" bonfire, no light of the dark moon, and no door of death at the foot of Mount Xikar.
"Look, this is death. Death in its truest form."
Xia De said softly, as if admiring the beauty of this thaumaturgy.
Miss Olanorde took two steps back, looking at the gap in horror, and the skeleton didn't respond immediately, as if it was also surprised by Xia De's action:
[Recommended, Mimi's reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and try it quickly. 】
"Real...death..."
Accompanied by the sound of hissing, the skeleton uttered the last few words, and then collapsed into a pile of thoroughly rusted metal wreckage.
The slab of Jaeger's Scroll fell among the bronze wreckage, but did not shatter from the fall. Xia De learned his lesson and didn't dare to look at the stone slab carefully. He glanced at the position of the stone slab from the corner of his eye, then took off his coat, intending to wrap it up.
"Xia De, that gap just now was..."
"The concept of leading to death itself can be understood as the most real death."
Xia De briefly explained, and Miss Olan Nord must understand:
"I stepped into death through the relic [Gate of Death], and then came back. Yes, through the power of the **** [Gate of Blazing Change] we saw in the Forest of Thousand Trees."
"The gate of death... you said, is it a double-opening stone gate, and the story of death is engraved on it?"
Miss Olanord asked suspiciously, Xia De nodded, ready to pick up the stone slab from the wreckage:
"Have you seen this door in this era?"
"Yes, but why did you enter that door."
The witch with pointed ears frowned, and grabbed Shad's wrist to prevent him from squatting down, trying to make sure he was really alive:
"Now ~www.mtlnovel.com~ this door is a torture tool, the most terrifying torture tool used by the Supreme Witch Council to punish witches who have made mistakes. We don't use hanging, beheading and other terrible punishments, it's not decent .Death row inmates, will walk through the gate of death, and then step into death."
"What happened between the fifth era and the sixth era?"
This is the question in Xia De's mind. The instruments of torture that were in the hands of the Witch Council in this era will actually be in the hands of the Orthodox Church in the next era to help seal the key relics in Hazama. The change of the era has buried too many truths, even Xia De, an investigator who can step back in time, cannot know the whole truth.
"I've never heard of a living person being able to come out from behind the door again."
Miss Olanord added, and unfortunately, Shad had heard of two.
