The Truth of Magic

Chapter 288 Graveyard Crown

"Resentful soul" itself could not cause any physical attack, but could only rely on the ability to absorb attributes, which was completely helpless for Zhao Xu.

And Zhao Xu, who heard the unusual part of the plot, walked forward boldly.

The "resentful soul" itself belongs to the soul that has gone crazy, and it is impossible to communicate with him at all.

Moreover, as he approached, the voice muttering in his ear became more and more intense. Coupled with the deep and confined space, the "ghosts" floating above his head seemed to be clusters of ghosts. Shabby.

However, as a male, Zhao Xu was also a "Mage" and "Priest" with spells, so he was born with the confidence to deal with incorporeal undead creatures.

At this time, he had no distracting thoughts at all, and started to observe the group of undead creatures closely.

After knowing that every building in this "Land of Sleepers" was actually Arthur's former "Haunted House", he was also a little worried about Wang Ningwei and Eswig who might be hiding in this city.

More than 20 "Resentful Souls" with a challenge level of level 3 only start with "low", and the latter "medium" and "high" danger numbers may not be able to deal with it even if Zhao Xu uses the power of "lord of the dead" .

Zhao Xu's eyes fell on the "resentful souls" floating on the ceiling, and he scanned them one by one, as if identifying them.

After seeing that Lacus was a little confused, Zhao Xu said, "We finally heard that the murderers were thrown in here and locked up to die, and let them be dealt with by these resentful spirits. It sounds quite relieved."

"It's just that, it's really a means to dispel the 'resentful soul', not a means to create 'Anta City'."

"Just like the creatures of the 'ghost' template, as long as their last wish is fulfilled, they can dissipate normally. Although the 'wraith' does not necessarily dissipate, it is somewhat close."

Lacus listened to Zhao Xu's analysis, "Master, are you saying that those who were thrown in were not actually murderers?"

However, Zhao Xu shook his head, "I just listened to the voices of a total of twenty-two resentful souls here, then created files one by one, and then analyzed the titles and content mentioned in their speeches, and found something."

After Zhao Xu's memory improved, he was able to write drafts directly in his mind, and he could sort out the information clues no matter how messy they were.

"Although they were kidnapped and tortured by the four murderers, the real murderer behind the scenes is someone else."

Zhao Xu's tone was cold. At this moment, he turned his head and looked at the mysterious hanging painting at the corner when he just came down the stairs.

"Because those murderers who were sacrificed have also become 'resentful souls'! They are also defending in pain."

"The resentful souls themselves have the supernatural ability of 'going mad'. Anyone who tries to detect, control or sense their minds will suffer from perception damage. This may have caused the town to not realize the truth in the first place." Zhao Xu said .

Zhao Xu now had the "undead creature" feature, but it was immune to attribute absorption, not attribute damage, so he didn't try it rashly.

After sorting it out, he found that there were still a lot of resentful souls whose dialogues were not logically correct, as if they were not talking about the same thing. This can only be found in the following evidence mining.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at the other rooms connected to the hall.

If the four murderers who tormented the tourists were also controlled by "magic" at the beginning, it means that this murderous house itself was intentionally created.

And this means that the priests of the god of death are very suspicious.

Their job is to rebuke and even command undead creatures.

It should be the priest of the good god who disperses and destroys the undead creatures.

It was only at the beginning that the other party directly threw the murderer into the haunted house. This kind of method that the good priest could not do, attracted everyone's attention.

This shows that the appearance of resentful souls in this room itself was a "premeditated" action from the very beginning.

After speculating with Lacus, Zhao Xu also slowed down his pace and explored several other rooms in this completely dark space.

He already felt that he might have inadvertently touched the truth of the establishment of "Land of the Sleepers".

According to Lacus, the houses in the entire city are composed of "haunted houses" where "undead creatures" appear.

It's just that Zhao Xu now finds that there are signs that people can artificially create these places?

Even the killing itself may have been done deliberately.

Perhaps it means that the emergence of "Anta City" is not such a natural thing.

In this way, Anta City, the "Land of Sleepers", is not just a city of undead creatures.

At this time, Zhao Xu gently pushed open a half-closed door and found that the furniture inside had also been cleaned out. Obviously, when the house was first moved, all the furniture inside had been cleared out.

After confirming that there were no other abnormalities inside, Zhao Xu also tried to walk into the room, which was about three meters by four meters in size, and slowly wandered to the window where the door was nailed.

This time, finally, there were no bloody handprints that suddenly flashed, and they were still those Arthur folk-spreading spells to "exorcise the undead".

"This?" Lux exclaimed at this moment.

Zhao Xu also looked at the board carefully and understood what Lacus said.

These wooden boards nailed from the inside have traces scratched out with nails, as if someone once struggled to escape here.

And the resentful soul itself cannot leave physical traces.

"Is this left by the murderers who were imprisoned?" Lux guessed.

Zhao Xu just nodded and didn't say much.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu squatted down and stroked the wooden floor that had become bumpy due to no care for a long time.

Then he took out a chisel that was originally used for climbing from the ordinary backpack on his back, inserted it directly into the gap that had been cracked on the floor, and pried it violently.

The wooden floor, which was not as big as a step, was turned over directly.

The dazzling red blood characters directly occupied Zhao Xu's sight.

Behind these wooden floors, blood-red ritual incantations are engraved.

Zhao Xu, who had confirmed his judgment, could only shake his head helplessly. Sure enough, the things these evil priests did were not much better.

No wonder the former Grim Reaper was of the evil alignment.

In this room, when the floor was first laid, the necromantic ritual of transforming resentful souls had already been done.

Everything that happened later happened under deliberate guidance.

After realizing this, Zhao Xu also stood up directly.

"It seems that the layout of each building has its own deeper meaning in this city with a messy distribution of buildings."

As he spoke, Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at the ground under his feet. There might be corresponding ritual spells running the city there.

The question is, what is the purpose of this city that the god of death purposely built when he was alive?

He even left part of his godhead for this, until he was acquired by "Edmond" in the future.

This kind of layout has not been lifted until the fall of the god of death. It is like a mage's backhand. If it is not used until death, it is not a backhand.

Zhao Xu knew that he was involved in a shocking secret.

But at this moment, he has no way out, and can only continue to overcome obstacles like his predecessor 'Edmund'.

"Master, what should we do next?" Lux obviously realized the seriousness of the matter.

But Zhao Xu has calmed down, "Remember the last two times I used the 'God Rune', the destructive power to the city is increasing each time, so wait until I use the extraordinary divine power of 'Lord of the Undead' for the last time At that time, I am afraid that this time it will be a big shock that will affect half of the city."

"That's when we might see the meaning of the rituals that the city has set up."

"As for now, let's play the role of our three-ring mage."

As he spoke, Zhao Xu took out a ball of white wax from his backpack, and then took out the alcohol lamp. He put on gloves and used the alcohol lamp to heat the white wax in his hand, making it shapeable, and immediately squeezed out a ball with a diameter of more than ten centimeters. The "ring" comes.

In the absence of the "Howard Convenience Bag", Zhao Xu could no longer carry many spell-casting equipment.

Casting itself requires many elements, such as "spells", "postures", "materials", "equipment" and so on.

Among them, the materials are consumable, and the materials no more than 1 gold coin can be replaced by the "casting without materials" feat.

But the "equipment" was irreplaceable, and so was the ring made of white wax in Zhao Xu's hand as the next "spell-casting equipment."

After finishing, Zhao Xu put the ring on top of his head, and at the same time took out a ball of stuff wrapped tightly in cloth from his pocket, and spread it gently, letting the soil from the cemetery inside fall in front of his eyes.

Then Zhao Xu began to sing, his deep voice seemed to be the sad whisper beside the cemetery.

Slowly, driven by Zhao Xu's spell and the seal in his hand, the soil from the cemetery began to rise into the air, wrapping around his pewter headband little by little.

Then a gloomy and bleak white energy cluster appeared in Zhao Xu's palm, and with an ominous atmosphere, he resolutely poured it into the top of his head.

"The Graveyard Crown."

The original pewter head ring was taken off by Zhao Xu, and a ghostly mist appeared directly on top of his head to form a new ring, which then disappeared.

In the end, only a crown of human bones made by magic was left floating on his head.
