Demon Royal Family

The interior of the altar is the real place of sacrifice. The switch on the platform above the head is a hanging rope. In front of Ivo is a small altar. The surrounding walls are engraved with complex and continuous white runes, which are the characters of the ancestors and are very mysterious.

Augusta said: "In mythology, the First Age was a barbaric era ruled by beasts. At that time, dozens of intelligent races were still walking on the long road of evolution, at the bottom of the food chain, and were hunted everywhere by wild beasts. Escape and become prey. The compassionate ancient gods guided the intelligent races to learn civilization. They used their mighty power to help the ancestors build cities and resist the invasion of wild beasts. Later generations of scholars wrote an ancient epic for this period of history about the origin of civilization - " "Twenty-Six Ancient Cities", Sandhiti is one of the twenty-six ancient cities of the ancestors."

"You can see that all the buildings in Sandhiti are sand houses. This is the power of Set, the ancient desert god, who helped the ancestors condense sand to build cities."

"But between the ancient divine calendar of the first era and the primitive calendar of the second era, there was an unexplainable historical gap of three hundred years. There is no written record of what happened during that period. In the following year 1 of the primitive calendar, twenty The six ancient cities and ancient gods seemed to evaporate overnight.”

"It's like it doesn't exist at all."

Nafei exclaimed, "It turns out what was written in the book is true. I thought it was just the sensational opinions of some boring scholars in the academy."

Augusta pointed at himself, "And I was probably the second group of people to discover the ruins of Sandhiti. There may be clues to that blank history here, so I stayed. The first group used Para I don’t know who those people are who sealed up the treasures and wealth in the Sears Secret Lock, and I don’t understand why they sealed the wealth in the ruins instead of taking it away, and I don’t understand why they concealed something that would make them famous. A major historical discovery.”

Ivo frowned in confusion, "It's indeed strange."

"Sandhiti is located in the Abraham Continent. This is recorded in ancient history books such as "Twenty-Six Ancient Cities" and "Ancient Myths". But why it appeared in the Frigga Continent is a mystery, and I don't know the truth."

"I found almost nothing in this ruins," Augusta paused and said a piece of news that shocked both of them, "but I have communicated with the ancient gods."

"Didn't you say they were missing?" Ivo was full of doubts.

"The Altar of the Ancient Gods is the only channel that can communicate with the ancient gods. In the five continents, there are no longer any altars of the Ancient Gods." Augusta pointed to his feet, looking excited: "But here, there are still It may be the last altar of the ancient gods in the world. I prayed devoutly for eight years and sacrificed enough things. Finally, I heard the voices of the ancient gods. That is what I call the important message - so important that it matters. To the survival of the world.”

"Wait..." Ivo interrupted him with a puzzled look on his face: "Since we have communicated with the ancient gods, didn't you ask about the blank history?"

Augusta shook his head: "The so-called communication is not a dialogue, but like falling into a dream. In the mist, the ancient gods peek into your innermost doubts and give vague guidance."

Ivo scratched his head. It turned out that this was the case. He asked doubtfully: "In that case, let's sacrifice it again. Now that the biggest doubt has been guided, it will be the turn of other doubts next time."

"Impossible. Do you think the guidance of the ancient gods is cheap divination? Hearing the voice of the gods is the luck of being born as a believer. How can you ask for more?" Augusta said calmly, " Moreover, I sacrificed my life, and this is a sufficient sacrifice. I can’t do it a second time.”

Ivo was startled. No wonder a powerful man like a red archbishop would fall. Isn't this suicide?

"Are you crazy?"

"Between truth and life, the latter is less than one ten thousandth of the value of the former." Augusta said matter-of-factly: "Royal authority and faith are the two pillars that support the world."

"I think lust for power and ignorance are the pillars supporting the world." Ivo muttered.

Augusta didn't take it seriously, "Optimists and pessimists look at the world differently. Children, only with faith can you understand more. Don't let prejudice blind you."

Damn, this is still a fanatic. He still wants to brainwash and proselytize me. The corners of Ivo's mouth twitched and he moved back, staying away from Augusta. Fanatic guys are the most terrifying.

This old guy has a bit of a pessimistic view, so we won’t argue with him.

The past is the past after all, and those secrets and historical mysteries cannot help him now. Ivo asked the question that concerned him most at the moment, "Do you know a way to leave Sanxity?"

Augusta nodded: "I can let you leave, but in return, you have to pass this message to..."

He suddenly paused and frowned slightly: "But before I tell you the message, I will conduct a soul torture on you and question your deepest character. If you are not reliable, this deal will be void."

Ivo's eyes glared, the old man changed his mind very quickly, that's not what you said when you tricked us here.

Soul torture is a high-level spiritual witchcraft that can only be cast by white-robed wizards. Augusta is the red archbishop of the church, and his main profession is a great wizard. Although the body dies, the eight-ring white-robed wizard has Therefore, a lot of it was lost, but most of it still existed in the soul, which did not prevent him from casting spells.

Augusta looked at Nafei, her pupils were deep, as if they contained a starry sky. The moment their eyes met, Nafei's eyes lost focus, and she looked dazed. She had been pulled into Augusta's spiritual witch. technique.

Ivo was secretly anxious. He didn't want someone to check his mind for no reason. Suddenly a voice sounded in his mind and said briefly: "Letter."

Ivo had an idea and hurriedly handed Uncle Berman's letter to Augusta who was about to look at him.

After seeing the letter, Augusta's expression changed instantly, and the magic light in his eyes dissipated, "Who are you from Berman?"

Ivo thought for a moment, "Relatives."

Augusta put away the spell, opened the letter and read it carefully, with a warm smile on his lips as if he were reunited with an old friend, and said: "When I was young, Berman and I were very good friends, but it's a pity that we haven't been together for eighty years." See, is he okay now?"

Eighty years... Ivo was secretly stunned. Sure enough, the Mimic's lifespan was as good as cheating. "Old man, I'm not trying to hit you. Berman looks like he's only forty years old now."

"Nonsense." Augusta obviously didn't believe it. He, an eighth-level wizard whose life span was about to exceed 200 years, had become so old. Who could he fool?

Augusta finished reading the letter, looked at Ivo, and suddenly smiled: "Since it is the person recommended by Berman, I believe you are reliable."

Ivo exhaled and said in his heart: "Old man, thank you for reminding me."

Lao De was stunned, "Thank me? I didn't do anything just now."

Ivo was stunned. Who was speaking in my mind just now? Was it an illusion when he had a flash of inspiration?

He couldn't remember it clearly, so he stopped thinking about it.

And deep in his mind, the pair of vicissitudes of his eyes closed again, and he sighed lightly, as if he was lamenting Ivo's problem of forgetting things.

Nafei's eyes became clear again, and she looked at Augusta with some anger. No one wanted to have their memories peeked into.

Augusta glanced at her and sighed slightly as he thought of the memory he just saw, "What a gifted girl. If my body is still alive, I might be able to accept you as my student. Now that the deal has been reached, let's start with I’ll send you away.”

Before Nafi could react, Augusta picked up the brass disc in Ivo's hand and slammed it at Nafei's feet. The brass disc burst into blue light and enveloped her, and Nafei disappeared without a trace in an instant. .

Ivo stood up suddenly with a cold look on his face, "What did you do?"

"This ruins is an overlapping secondary space. The exit is in another incomplete secondary space attached to Sandhiti. Only the brass disc can open the passage. I sent her to the exit."

Ivo's heart is racing. Is this way of opening the exit too hasty? ! A hard fall!

Wait... Only by possessing the key can one leave Sandhitti. Doesn't that mean that everyone else will be trapped here?

Ivo broke into a cold sweat, secretly glad that he had brought the brass disc in.
