Bishop Osiris squinted his eyes, and slowly swept his gaze across the extraordinary beings present. He stayed on Griffith's face for a while, as if he was waiting for something.
His secrets explain Senator Milovan Neville's connection to the South.
There are many forces who come here to pursue power. As the prince of Beyelan, it is expected that Commodus came here to search for the essence of the ancient gods.
"There are many legends about the southern world. I have heard another version," Jeremiah shook his head. "The holy object worshiped by trolls is called the 'Eternal Staircase'. In the local language, KULAMA NAFEITA means eternal life and path. It
It is an indescribable thing between plants and animals that haunts the lost ruins called Zudia. It is very ancient. Its curly, ugly tentacles secrete sinful and crazy mucus all the time.
"The foolish trolls collect these evil secretions, call them the 'blood of the ancestors', and let their kings drink them."
The topic attracted the Extraordinaries who were resting nearby. There was no confidentiality level for this mysterious story, and the Extraordinaries present were all Sequence 7s who had been ordered to perform the mission, so no one felt that they should avoid it.
Amber sat down next to Griffith and listened with her eyes wide open as the two extraordinary beings told stories. As a huntress, her knowledge of mysticism was no less than that of the extraordinary beings here.
"The ancient civilization possesses more than one sacred object," Amber said. "We mobilized so many forces to come to this dangerous place just to find the ancient secrets before the regicide and prevent the awakening of evil."
The Sword Master nodded: "My friends in the Senate Staff also told me that the purpose of the Kingslayer's coming here is to find clues to strengthen himself from the mystery of the troll king selection, and then dominate them.
"The civilization here has indeed declined, but there is no shortage of fierce warriors. In ancient times, the trolls made a contract with some unspeakable ancient evil spirits. They hid in the wilderness abyss on the border, waiting for the opportunity.
"The ancient eggs that Your Excellency the Bishop mentioned may be used to hatch such evil things."
Seeing that the Juggernaut's opinions began to move closer to his own, Bishop Osiris turned his attention to Professor Lordes again, wanting to hear what he had to say.
However, the extraordinary wizard was noncommittal. His profound gaze stayed in the darkness of the ruins. It seemed that he was more wary of what kind of danger would emerge from the ruins in front of him than the vague and distant monsters in the abyss.
The clown was still like a wooden man, motionless at all.
Everyone was chatting around the campfire, and the extraordinary people talked about their respective opinions.
In Griffith's view, these people were no different from ordinary friendly forces when they did not take action. In addition to the possible risk of encirclement and suppression, Griffith also felt that something was not quite right, but he could not find it for a moment.
Sum it up.
Perhaps Bishop Osiris' identity as a spy made him inevitably suspicious. There is a layer of information hidden in the Bishop's story - Senator Milovan Neville is surrounded by a group of comrades who share the secrets left by the ancient gods.
During the incident in Heura Town on Neopolis Island, Griffith already knew that the high-level sealed object "Call of the Ancestor" was the projection of the strands of life in the virtual realm in reality, and was an extraordinary characteristic of the path to the undead.
The Stairway to Eternity is also a sacred object of the path to the undead.
After Commodus left Bijalan, he came to this remote wilderness with an army loyal to him, and joined forces with the trolls. His purpose was probably to find the power left by the god of the undead in reality, and use it to
Fight against other gods.
If what Osiris said is true, the group of people around Senator Milovan Neville are also exploring the power of the thread of life in the virtual world. They have been planning it many years ago, and they are probably the "Deathrattle Cult"
The behind-the-scenes controller of the group.
Will these two forces unite?
During the Naira and Neferty incident in Odessa, Griffith discovered in Professor Julian's records that in order to avoid the price of the Breath of the End, Joffrin Lentilus and Wesker De...
Count Crozier found the power of the undead god in the south.
During the Battle of Verona, he further learned the secrets of the Isius family. If the previous Count Crozier had made some kind of attempt or experiment with Isius, then Aaron, the member of the Arcane Council
Beloved, what will be the secret of the prophesied Savior who will bring balance to psychic light and darkness...
While Griffith was thinking, Bishop Osiris suddenly remembered something again and said to Lordes:
"Master Wizard, do you know where to find the troll's ancient gold coins?"
"Um?"
"I heard that some particularly precious gold coins were once used by trolls to offer sacrifices to their gods. The gold that had been placed in the temple for a long time was contaminated with the breath of the ancient gods, and its physical form changed, and the boundary between reality and illusion also changed.
Becoming vague, it can even echo the sublime power."
"You mean it's used to guide the way?" Jerenmia immediately reacted, "I've heard of these things. Many years ago, the Southern Legion plundered some troll temples, and the lost ancient gold coins were scattered to the black market in the south.
, causing a lot of trouble. If we have this ancient gold coin in our hands, we may be able to reveal the way to the Stairway to Eternity and the Ancient Egg."
"I'm just saying that there is a possibility," the bishop said, "there is Valkyrie in the advance team, and Shangfeng may have made the arrangement based on this consideration. She has dealt with these evil things in the pasha.
"If we can get some, we might be able to find something the Regicide is interested in sooner."
Lordes did not express his position. As a high-level wizard and scholar, he seemed to have more confidence in intelligence and his own reconnaissance methods.
But Griffith is different.
During the battle in Hepu Town, he seized a strange gold coin from Rebecca, a cultist girl whose identity was unknown.
This gold coin is stamped out of an irregular circle with less exquisite craftsmanship, engraved with spheres and radial lines, and a ferocious skull in the center. This implies that the alien currency of the death cult can allow Rebecca to transform into immortality under the moonlight.
biology.
The gold coins had been carefully kept by Griffith, and he naturally took them with him during this southern operation.
Bishop Osiris's words moved him somewhat.
If this gold coin can really lead the way to the Troll Relic, Griffith's next actions will undoubtedly be greatly facilitated.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the camp, but it quickly calmed down. The assault scouts who were scattered and resting were in position quickly and formed a formation to fight.
However, what came was not any danger, but a reconnaissance team led by two extraordinary men who returned to the camp after exploring the road ahead.
They were carrying a long white object, and when they walked in they saw that it was a human being wrapped in white silk.
This man was no longer breathing, and he was obviously dressed like a spell caster. He even held the wand tightly in his hand.
The Extraordinary who returned from the reconnaissance was a ranger and reported to the Extraordinary commanders who arrived:
"The identity was verified as a Sequence Seven spellcaster who was part of the advance team. We found him on the road ahead, lying flat on the ground, with all the bones and internal organs in his body melted away."
As he spoke, he gently pushed the poor caster, and saw that the entire torso was shaking like a water bag in the silk sac, and the skin and flesh seemed to be broken at any time.
This terrifying scene immediately made people feel frightened, and many people turned their heads away, unable to look directly.
Amber first conducted the inspection in her capacity as a professional investigator:
“He consumed a lot of equipment and suffered many injuries all over his body.
"His body will completely liquefy in less than an hour or so. We have to be careful. Spider demons who use this method to hunt are common. A spider demon that can hunt sequence seven can weave a huge nest, regardless of raising it.
Countless of his descendants."
After confirming that there were no traps, Griffith also joined the inspection.
Erza's advance team entered the ruins from another entrance, which is quite far away from here. The murdered caster should have traveled a long distance after the collapse of the advance team and tried to escape from the entrance and exit of the lake. It can be seen from this that he was a
An experienced and decisive veteran, he had even approached the commando camp, but unfortunately he fell at the last step.
After searching for a while, Griffith found a simple map on kraft paper from the spellcaster's possession.
The starting point of the map is the entrance of the river in the valley. After sailing for a period of time, a broken ship pattern appears on the map. It must be that Alandel's battleship ran aground there.
Then, the advance team advanced underground and came to an extremely vast underground space. It was clearly drawn on the vellum paper that there was a vast forest, swamp and lake surrounded by towering edge rock walls and tunnels, and it was also marked with skulls.
These skull marks are undoubtedly very dangerous places. However, in the center of the map, a huge building is suddenly outlined. Some ferocious object is vaguely painted on the building, and a line of small words is written next to it -
"We are cursed"
The spellcaster who made the map also ran away all the way after that, passing through long potholes and countless forked roads, and finally arrived here.
"It seems that the legend is true!" Bishop Osiris sighed, "There is another world under the crater..."
Lordes, who had been silent all this time, suddenly became energetic. He seemed to have found a clue to his destination and no longer had to fumble in the dark.
"Very good, this will save us a lot of time. Let's all take a three-hour break and then move on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Griffith heard a strange cry coming from the darkness in the distance, like a child crying or a consumptive patient sighing, followed by several strange laughs.
The strange sounds come and go, the shrillness and rapidity make people's hair stand on end.
The sound came from far away and approached the camp from all directions.
