Chapter 980 The Immortal King Sleeps Here
Indeed, as Joseph said, the skeleton dragon is not an assassin. When it appears, it is often full of dragon power and death. If it is a large-scale skeleton dragon army, its momentum will definitely be impossible to conceal. Not to mention these legendary strongmen in the exploration team, even those great magicians and warriors, and even an ordinary person, would definitely be able to detect abnormalities early.
After listening to Klaus and Joseph's opinions, Hoffman turned to look at Lin Li and asked, "Master Ferre, what do you think?"
"I have no objection," Lin Li said simply. Now, this mausoleum, or the so-called mausoleum, has become more and more interesting to him. God of Whispers, Heart of Stars, if you continue to explore, what amazing discoveries will you make?
On the issue of continuing to explore the tomb, the four major forces quickly reached an agreement. They stopped staying any longer and immediately regrouped and set off after leaving the room. Along the way, under the guidance of Angelano, the team cracked the magic traps and mechanisms one by one, and successfully passed through the long shelter filled with murderous intent, and arrived at the entrance to the next level.
However, the road leading to the next level was surprisingly long. The team kept circling downwards. It was estimated that the gap had reached thousands of meters. Finally, they stepped out of the door of the passage. However, when the people in the exploration team who were the first to go out saw the scene outside, they couldn't help but stand at the gate with astonishment on their faces.
It turns out that the fourth floor of the mausoleum is not a man-made building like the previous three floors, but an extremely huge dark canyon. No one knows whether it is man-made or naturally formed. The door that everyone walked out of was located on the stone wall at the bottom of the canyon. When they fired their lighting skills to the left and right, they saw that there were cliffs on both sides that were too high to reach the top.
However, it was only the others who were surprised. Lin Li had even seen underground worlds like Osric's Tomb, so naturally he was not surprised by this underground canyon. It's just that this dark canyon is still filled with an extremely huge aura of death, which is even stronger than the Shadow Valley, a gathering place for the undead near Oranna. This reminded Lin Li immediately of the skeleton dragon army mentioned in the log, and a cautious look appeared on his face.
The exploration team all walked out of the passage, and immediately formed a defensive formation as soon as they came out. The leaders of the four major forces also gathered together again, looking at the depths of the canyon hidden in the darkness, but no one proposed to continue. Suggestions for moving forward. Because of the aura of death in the canyon, these strong men standing at the pinnacle of the legend also felt faintly depressed and even fearful.
Especially when everyone used their lighting skills to illuminate the environment within their sight, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw the scene before their eyes. The area around the gate of this passage is relatively clean, but further away, there are a large number of bones scattered along the direction of the canyon. It is simply a road of bones. Those bones were neither those of high elves, humans, or other intelligent races, but they clearly belonged to some kind of giant beast.
"This... should we continue?" Klaus was already a little discouraged. It was obvious that the sinister smell of this canyon was completely beyond his expectation. With such a huge aura of death, God knows what kind of undead creatures will be born. Even if it is just a skeleton dragon army, the scale will definitely not be small.
Exploring ruins definitely involves taking some risks, but if the risks are obviously not proportional to the benefits, then it would be foolish to persist in taking risks. Klaus thought so, and so did everyone else. No one was willing to do a losing business. The scene in front of me is full of huge dangers at first glance. In such a strong aura of death, there may be terrifying undead creatures that have never appeared in Anriel Continent.
Their worries are not unnecessary at all. After seeing a monster like the Whispering God, who would regard Brashear as a kind person. This lunatic is even crazier than the great lord Osric. God knows what other crazy things he has done, which are completely unimaginable to normal people.
"Master Fei Lei, what do you think?" Hoffman was also a little embarrassed. Although he knew that the tomb of the high elf royal family was unusual, what happened after entering was still beyond his expectation.
"Fei... Fei Lei, I think we should go back first. This place is too scary..." Before Lin Li could say anything, Angelano, who was shivering after hiding next to Lin Li, couldn't wait to interrupt. In his opinion, apart from his own alchemy colossus, Lin Li was the safest around him, so much so that it almost touched Lin Li's body.
In fact, seeing the scene in the canyon, Lin Li was a little hesitant, but he was unwilling to leave like this, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's take a look at the situation first." As he said that, he moved the Sun King's scepter forward a little and cast A wizard's eye flew straight into the depths of the canyon.
Seeing Lin Li's actions, everyone else immediately woke up. No matter what dangers there were in the canyon, they had to see what was inside first. If it's not worth the risk, then naturally leave without saying anything, but if there are really huge benefits involved, then you have to carefully calculate the gains and losses. So following Lin Li, other magicians also released their wizard eyes.
A group of invisible wizard eyes passed through the dense skeletons on the ground, passed through the dark and long canyon, and finally came to an extremely wide area. At this time, all the magicians on the exploration team who had released the wizard's eyes couldn't help but gasped after receiving the feedback from the wizard's eyes. Air conditioning.
In that vast area, in addition to a large number of giant beast skeletons, there are also many graves scattered around. What is particularly eye-catching is a tomb that looks larger and more luxurious in the middle. Judging from the various gorgeous decorations outside the tomb, it obviously belonged to the high elf royal family. What's more important is that through the eyes of the wizards, the magicians can also feel that the royal tomb exudes extremely huge magic waves. I am afraid that the source is the extremely precious burial objects in the tomb.
Although I don't know what the burial objects in the tomb are, I can imagine that once this tomb is excavated, there will be extremely huge gains based on the huge magic wave. This discovery made everyone's breathing quicken. No one mentioned quitting anymore, but controlled the wizard's eyes to observe carefully around the tomb, hoping to find some valuable clues.
However, after discovering the tomb, Lin Li immediately had a lot of doubts in his heart. According to the mausoleum design provided by the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, shouldn't Prince Brashear's coffin be placed on the bottom floor? Even if there is no design drawing, according to general custom, no one would put their coffin on the middle floor of a seven-story mausoleum.
However, if the tomb does not belong to Prince Breshir, which high elf royal family does the head belong to. Burying two royal families in a royal tomb is not in line with the etiquette traditions of the high elves. Such a joint burial is extremely disrespectful to Prince Brashear or to another unknown royal family.
Of course, it is actually very simple to determine the identity of the owner of the tomb. Just look at the tombstone in front of the tomb. However, there are many people who can think of this, but no one can translate the high elf text on the tomb.
Although the pronunciation of each character in the high elven characters may not be difficult for these magicians, even the great wizards have never been exposed to the magic spells of the high elven characters, but if they want to know the meaning of those characters, it is completely It's another story.
In the language of the high elves, a character may have one meaning in one passage, but may have another meaning in another passage. Therefore, knowing how to read these characters does not mean you can know the meaning of the inscription. Even with Lin Li's research on high elf writing, he could not translate the inscription.
However, Lin Li knew that among the Twilight Tower team, he was not ranked first when it came to the study of high elf writing, especially outside the realm of magic. So, he turned his head and looked to the side, and saw Basel's mouth moving slightly, as if he was mumbling something. A trace of expectation arose in his heart, and he asked: "Master Basel, can you translate the words on the tombstone?" come out?"
When Lin Li asked, Basel shook his head slightly and said, "I can't translate all those words. I can only barely guess a small part of the meaning, and it may not be accurate."
A little bit is better than knowing nothing at all. Lin Li was originally a little disappointed when he saw Basel shaking his head, but when he heard the following words, he immediately became energetic again and asked quickly: "Then can you tell me your speculation?"
"Immortal, King, sleep in peace, here...Immortal King, sleep here?" Basel first literally translated the meaning of some words, and then read those words together twice, but got an answer that he couldn't believe. translation results.
"The Immortal King sleeps here!" This translation frightened Lin Li. Could it be that the tomb was that of the Immortal King? However, it makes no sense. Although the Immortal King is also a member of the royal family of high elves, his status is countless times more noble than that of Prince Breshir. He can simply be called the god of the high elves. With the status of the Immortal King, how could there be only such a tomb in the tomb of Prince Breshir?
And more importantly, what kind of strength is the Immortal King? Isn't it claimed to have reached a state close to that of a god? Even Azadas, the Dragon of Destruction, one of the most powerful Aspect Dragons, was killed by the Immortal King. Even if the Immortal King cannot truly achieve immortality, even if he succumbs to serious injuries in the battle with Azadas, it seems that he should not be buried here in obscurity.
From the bottom of his heart, Lin Li did not believe that the one buried in that tomb would be the Immortal King. However, why is there such text as "The Immortal King sleeps here..." on the tombstone? Even if there are some discrepancies in Basel's translation, this tomb should have something to do with the Immortal King.
Considering the huge danger that may exist in this canyon, if it was just a treasure, no matter how precious the treasure was buried inside, I am afraid Lin Li would not consider taking the risk. However, since the Immortal King was involved, Lin Li had to be tempted regardless of whether Basel's translation was correct or not.
The existence of the star fragments, the last words of Novel's former master, the statue of the Immortal King in the Mark of Death, and the inexplicable inheritance of the Sky City, these things gradually condensed into a question in Lin Li's heart, what exactly is the relationship between the Immortal King and himself? Such a connection. Lin Li couldn't think of an answer, but he summed up an experience. It seemed that everything related to the Immortal King would probably have some connection with him. Lin Li sometimes even wondered if he suddenly came here from the endless world. Was there the shadow of the Immortal King in him?
Therefore, regardless of whether that tomb really contained the Immortal King, Lin Li had already made up his mind to see what happened.
As for whether the Immortal King was really buried in that tomb, everyone else's views were similar to Lin Li's. After all, whether in historical facts or in various myths and legends, the Immortal King is already a god-like figure. Moreover, given the status of the Immortal King in the high elves, he would not be so silent even if he died, let alone be buried with other royal families.
However, regardless of whether the tomb is real or fake, the huge magic wave emanating from the tomb is real. There was no need to consider anything else, just focusing on the treasure buried in the tomb, no one in the room mentioned anything else and left.
As a result, the leaders of the four major forces of the exploration team quickly reached an agreement on the next action: move forward, cross the canyon, and excavate the tombs!
However, when the team set off, something went wrong. The original pathfinding team in front, according to the agreement negotiated outside, was composed of members from the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family. But now, Joseph believes that the combat effectiveness of the Mithril Alliance has never been restored, so he refuses to follow the previous agreement and let his people join the team exploring the front.
Joseph was not talking nonsense. Among the four forces, they were the only ones who did not use life potions to treat them, so the wounded had indeed not recovered much combat effectiveness until now.
But in this way, the only members of the pathfinding team left were members of the Caesar family. Since Klaus owed a favor to the Twilight Tower, he was too embarrassed to ask people from the Twilight Tower or the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce to fill the gap. He could only hold his nose and admit it, and prepared to send people over with a troubled face. . x-on:.
