Chapter 3312 The Death Artifact
Chapter 3309 Death Artifact
It paused for a moment before sighing again:
"Yes, the exit is itself a temple of the 'Ancient God of Death'. I don't know its status now, but in my ancient memories, if you want to use that passage, you need to offer three sacrifices: the device related to the Ancient God, the Heart of the Living Dead, and finally the reason why you must return to the world of the Living Man.
That is the token or the token of your return, and everyone will offer it.”
The four people had different expressions, but at least Xia De understood everything they needed this time. "Heart of the Living Dead" is also an item that needs to open the special abilities of the [Soul Cemetery]. Xia De used two of them.
The one from Stone Ossenfort was used by him to re-call Ms. Hayla Ossenfort and let her help Shade, who was very troubled by his love life at the time, answered his doubts (1688);
The heart of the living dead that the church gave after the Green Lake incident was consumed by Shade in the soul of the little girl "Rust Edwards" who had already died with "Sloth Edwards (Second Generation Edwards)" exchanged for the soul of the little girl "Rust Edwards" who had already died.
The appearance of each "Heart of the Living Dead" must be accompanied by a tortuous and bizarre story, but Xia De felt that it should not be difficult to find another one. As for the devices and beacons related to the ancient gods, these two are even simpler.
The two burial objects were exchanged for such useful information, and Xia De didn't know if this was a giant who was deliberately helping them.
It was Xia De's turn next. Although Xia De intended to ask more secrets about the gods here, he still asked another question first:
"Do you know who I am? You just saw me using Moon Fire."
"I don't know anything, next."
The giant replied almost immediately, and Xia De hurriedly stopped:
"Then let me change the question. What else do you know about the gods here? Just say what can be said. We are worried that we will be watched by the gods, so we want to know more about Him. I already know that His throne seals the place where the gate to death leads to death, and the undead in the wasteland cannot move forward."
"Three funeral objects."
"OK."
Xia De handed over three more, and this time the team only had the golden scepter and a gold bracelet left.
"The legends and stories about these ancient gods are not secrets in the days when I was still alive. They are common sense and are part of the ancient mystical system that constituted our era.
The power of the [King of the Graves] comes from the oldest god of death, which is a well-known fact. It is only before and after the ancient god left, the church of this god had undergone some changes, and they began to promote the burial of gold products. In the previous era, the [Church of the Gravekeeper] did not have this tradition, and their past holy objects were just shovels."
Xia De had a vague guess in his heart:
"Are there any other changes besides the changes of the mortal believers?"
The rotten giant on the throne expressed his affirmation:
"Yes, it seems you have grasped the point. There are also gold rings, bracelets and arm rings on the statue of this god. Actually, you don't need to ask me, there should be statues of old gods left in this wasteland. If you can meet them, you will understand when you see those statues."
“But what is the reason for this change?”
Xia De asked, the giant on the throne shook his head:
"I am just a witness to that history, not a confidant of the gods. Besides, Moon Son, have you speculated on your own?"
The instruments that can be valued by the old gods or even expressed in the statues may only be related to the ancient gods. Since the time node is before and after the "Ancient God of Death" leaves, it is actually easy to make a speculation:
"The old god [God of the Tomb] obtained a ring, bracelet or arm ring from the ancient god, and that object played a crucial role in controlling this kingdom or enhancing the power of that god."
[Foreigner, you have obtained some secrets about the old god "King of Skeletons" (2/3): The old god inherited a golden artifact of the "Ancient God of Death" and then took charge of this country.]
The voice of "her" proved that Xia De's guess was completely correct, so he smiled. He felt that he had found the rules, and the secret here needed to be learned from those strong and ancient individuals, so there was only the last one left in this task.
He looked at Sister Beren again and signaled her to continue asking.
Since the giant had a flame in his hand, maybe it knew more about the flames that were split in the Second Age. Shade thought Sister Beren would ask about this, but she didn't expect her to ask:
"Do you have any suggestions for this fire-holder?"
Xia De looked at the nun in surprise, but the nun still looked expressionless. The giant was silent for a moment and did not ask for any funeral objects from the living people:
"I have no advice to him. He has walked out of his own path. Since he has stepped on this path, he cannot turn back, but I have a story to share with you."
Its story is not very long:
"In the heyday of the kingdom, although the population was not as good as the pointed ears, we could still compete with the prosperous elf empire with the powerful individual power. Just to pursue a stronger power, the kingdom digs underground, so those sage giants who were trying to find the remaining sages of the mythical era found a strange black oil.
After drinking a small amount of this black oil, it can maximize the soul power of giants. After being configured as a potion, it can even permanently enhance soul power. Although the side effect is that the skin on the surface of the body is a faint black, this is a tolerable side effect."
It looked down at the four living people:
"The Kingdom of Giants gained strong power, and once became the most powerful kingdom in the main material world and even the entire subplane. However, the disease was accompanied by the power of the Kingdom and spread quietly among the giants. The abscesses that turned into human nature appeared on the surface of the body, and then turned into viscous pus and flowed out of the body.
The giants lost their minds and became monsters with black pus attached to the surface of their bodies, which triggered the encirclement of various tribes and sects dominated by the Spike-Ear Empire. I still remember that war, countless light guns, fireballs and storms fell from the sky, and the densely packed little men united to defeat one giant king after another, until I was suppressed here as one of the giant kings."
This is a typical disaster of "human pus" outbreak. Although human pus in the sixth era only has the power to deceive the dark chosen ones, it sounds really powerful in the second era.
"This is my story. There is no power in vain. Everything has a reason and everything has a price."
This is its warning to Xia De, and Xia De nodded slightly to indicate that he remembered it.
In the end, only Miss Lead was left. She didn't expect that she would really have a chance. After taking a step forward, she actually didn't know what she was going to ask in her heart. She thought for a few seconds before asking softly:
"I, I was thrown in because I stole the owner's church here. I didn't mean it, I was cheated. I originally thought it was just an ordinary catacomb."
She asked with hope but a little fear:
"You said, do I still have hope of leaving here?"
The giant actually let out a deep laugh:
"A funeral item. Everything is possible. If your companions are willing to help you, you do have hope of leaving the country. But everything comes at a price. Even if they are willing to help you freely, what price will you pay for it?"
Xia De put the last burial object in the bag on the steps, and the only seven burial objects they brought out was the scepter he was carrying.
Miss Lead pursed her lips and didn't know what to say, but at least she knew that she was not dead.
The nun, Miss Violet and Shade were both satisfied with this "adventure". The matter here was over and the team was going to return to the gravekeeper's hut. Shade expressed his gratitude again and then took the initiative to say goodbye to the giant, but the giant asked instead:
"Let me ask you a question. After answering this question, I can tell you the simple way to leave the tomb, so that you can save some time - the pus of human beings, how did the evil demon that corrodes human nature behave in your time?"
Miss Violet took the sentence:
"It broke out once about three hundred years ago. The plague-stricken area was erased from the map by a big witch. Unfortunately, when the witch's magic hunting tactics team entered the field, the body of the damn thing had disappeared, and it had not appeared for the next three hundred years."
Xia De also spoke:
"I saw it two years ago. At that time, it was targeted by something even more terrifying. I'm afraid it would have to hide for many years until it was found by that enemy. Although it is still terrible to mortals, the era of giants and evil spirits has passed, and it no longer has the power of the past."
The giant nodded and said no longer. With the rumbling low voice, a small piece of floor tiles on the side of the throne platform disappeared, revealing the entrance to the underground secret passage.
So the group of four went in, Xia De walked at the end. Before entering the secret passage, he turned around and looked at the giant with his head down. The latter was silent like a real corpse. It had already died with its kingdom, and this was its tomb.
Xia De asked last before leaving:
"You called me the 'Son of Moon' just now, so do you really think I'm the 'Son of Moon'?"
The giant seems quite reluctant to answer this question:
"Some people probably think so, some people really think so, and some people only dare to think so."
"Thank you like that."
After finally thanking him, he also got into the secret passage, and only the giant king's sigh was left in the empty tomb chamber:
Chapter completed!
