Chapter 600 Black Castle
In the black smoke ejected from the lava mountain, rock ash fell down from time to time, turning the charred ground into a gray patch. After crossing the lava river for a day and walking more than half a circle around the lava mountain, suddenly a dark castle appeared on the mountainside.
While walking, Rehog remembered something again. He said: "Lord Korra, this time I was in the country of Guiniz, and I actually used the same magic as your corpse refining technique. . I heard you say that your ghost technique comes from the undead magic of the Ancient Chronicle (before the Holy Garden Calendar). It is a forbidden magic that has been lost for a long time. Is there anyone other than you who knows this kind of magic? ?”
Cora’s eyes flashed slightly.
Vicky immediately said: "You said you saw the same magic as my lord? Are you sure?"
Rehog looked at the surrounding scene, the corpses and monsters walking in and out of the forest and said: "Although they are not exactly the same, I can't mistake the feeling and breath."
Wei Ji looked at her lord.
Cora's expression was the same as usual, nothing special. She said slowly: "Maybe I am not the only one who knows this. Although it has been thousands of years, it must have existed in this world. I can learn what I have learned before, and so can others."
Rehogue kept looking at Cora's expression carefully, and then nodded.
Unconsciously, several people had arrived in front of the castle. This castle cannot be said to be a castle, but a huge city made up of several cities connected to each other. The entire outer wall of the castle is made of black basalt. The wall has been repaired and polished so that it is very smooth and bright. There is no gap between the brick walls and it looks like a whole.
This is a typical Gothic style building with more than ten basalt statues of the same material standing around the building. Each of these statues is more than thirty meters high. They do not depict vicious beasts and monsters, but figures wearing black cloaks and holding magic wands.
These statues stand face to face, some hold up the staff in their hands, some open their arms, some are raising the scabbard in their hands, etc., with different expressions and movements. But one thing they have in common is that the magic wand made of basalt in their hands is emitting a faint green magic light, which is probably nearly ten meters high.
Lehog looked up and said: "Lord Korra's castle is really spectacular. The doors that light enters the room are as tall as these statues. Only such a 'black beauty' (referring to the castle) is worthy of the king of the underworld, Korra. "Lord La's identity."
Vicky said: "My lord does not live here." The Lord doesn't like the environment here, so the Lord hasn't visited you these days because she's not here."
Rehog was slightly stunned and said: "Well, then this is just Kou. Sir, are you here to stay?" He was surprised when he saw Vicki smiling and nodding to him.
Cora stood in front of the huge stone door and said to Rehog: "I'm tired and want to go in and rest for a while."
"Uh, yes, then I won't disturb you, but my guardian cannot Do you know where you are now?" Rehog didn't dare to get angry when he saw that Korra didn't invite him in. Anyway, the purpose of coming here was just to know how his protection was going. In a place like this, he was afraid that Korra would turn his guardian into some kind of monster.
Vicky said: "This side of the castle is the private forbidden area of the lord. Others are prohibited from entering and exiting at will. If you want to rest, you can go to the castle on the right to rest. As for your guardian, he is in the Black Forest. I'll ask someone to take you there soon. Please wait for a while."
"I don't need to rest, I'll just wait for you here." Seeing Cora and. Vicki goes in , the huge basalt door was also closed, Rehog breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "I didn't expect the power of the King of the Underworld to be so great. I usually see her not outstanding in meetings, but she hides such a huge power. . Is this just a residence? How many places like this are there? It’s not a waste of time to come here.”
In the castle, there is an endless line of blankets. aisle.
Vicki supported Cora and asked: "Master, the undead magic he just mentioned should be..."
"Well, it should be Nissen Hera."
Vicki Said: "This necromancer from thousands of years ago is indeed hiding there. It's just that in the past few years, we have spent so much manpower, material and financial resources to find him, but we have not found him. We don't know how he hid and how he was able to escape the Holy Spirit." Park’s pursuit.”
Kola murmured: "Müller Fischer's Forbidden Essay on the Undead, which is what the Muronigan Dynasty calls the 'Muronigan Oracle'. That year This book is from the Muronigan dynasty emperor After it was lost in the palace, its whereabouts remained unknown until we found it in an old bookstore a few years ago. As you know, I have been studying the 'undead magic' that was 'sealed' by the Holy Garden. ',since After I got this book, my power in this area has indeed improved a lot. However, this "General Theory of the Undead" is not complete. It only records the "Life" chapter and part of the "Curse" of turning corpses into monsters. The book shows that there is no record of the "Death" chapter that contains extremely powerful instant death magic. "
Vicki said: "And the 'Dark Compass' mentioned in the book seems to be something related to it. 'Dragon Zero' closely related items, just us The mission of 'Dark Compass' has been sent out to the mercenary union for so long, but no news has been received. I am afraid that no one in Guiniz and other countries knew anything about the 'Dark Compass' that was related to the Muronigan Dynasty. I have sent people to check the national archives, but they only briefly mentioned the Muronigan Dynasty established by Nissen Hera thousands of years ago, and no valuable information was found. "< br>
Cora said: "You can ask Rehog carefully later, and then send people to Güniz to investigate this incident. Maybe this time we can find clues to the 'Dark Compass' and the 'Death' chapter."
"Yes." Vicki wrote down everything one by one, and the master entered the bedroom around the corner. Cora took off her clothes and prepared to rest. Seeing that Vicki had not retreated, she asked: "Do you have anything else to do?"
"No." Vicki said: "Subordinate Just some questions."
"What?"
Vicky said: "We met Lei Hog in Seawind City some time ago. Why did you let him come to the island where we are stationed to rest and recuperate? You have always shown weakness in the organization, but this time you took the initiative Let Lei Hog see this."
Kora looked at her coldly for a while, then turned to chuckle and said: "You have been with me for so long, but you haven't grown at all now. In the twelve houses of organizations, there are super All the six palaces are in the hands of Heaven and Realm, and among the four kings, the King of Sky Realm is just an empty frame. King Poseidon has one palace, but because he has been performing secret missions for many years, his deputy alone can no longer control Si Xi with two palaces. Brother Tai, only the King of the Underworld, who controls the Three Palaces, is the most powerful. Although I have been showing weakness in the organization over the years, if the guy from Tianjie doesn’t deal with me, who will he deal with? "
Vicki said. : "You want to take advantage of this Let’s take this opportunity to bring the two Sitai brothers to our side?”
Kola said: “The two brothers are too ambitious. They wanted to break out of the control of the Poseidon King and become kings on their own during the last meeting. How is that possible? It's easy to win over to us. But if he doesn't join our forces, he may not help us. This time, you can see that the world is so aggressive that Shantora can't control him at all, and he wants to become the king. The Sisite brothers, Naturally, they don’t want to see the organization become the king of Tianjie. This can be seen from the fact that they have been secretly attracted by Tianjie for so many years, but they have never surrendered to Tianjie’s command. "
Wei. Ji said: "But it's not like the King of Heaven suffered no losses at all. First, the Lion Palace was taken away, and then the Pisces Palace happened. Throne Shantara was clearly trying to suppress the King of Heaven's arrogance."
"No, you may not know yet." Korra said: "In the meeting of the four kings a few days ago, in order to calm the resentment in the hearts of the heaven and earth, the throne has decided to hand over four patriarchs to the leadership of the heaven and earth, and these four Among the three patriarchs, there are three who have the strength of level seven or above, which is no worse than losing one Lion Palace."
Vicky was startled: "No way, four patriarchs plus the king of heaven before? control The number of patriarchs under his control is almost half of the thirty-six patriarchs in the organization! What is the throne doing?”
Kora smiled: “You are still too much. She's young, just like Shantora. Although Shantara knows that Shantara wants to eradicate Tianjie, she doesn't know how to do it. She only knows how to use strong methods to suppress Tianjie, but she doesn't know what this means. The stupidest Stupid approach. Now in the organization, one king of Tianjie is the dominant one, and God doesn't want to push Tianjie into trouble in this matter. With the power of Tianjie, if he is really anxious, anything can happen. It can be done."
Vicky said: "But if you don't force him, will you keep him like this? Sooner or later, the king will rebel, and I'm afraid there will be consequences."
Cora shook her head: "You underestimate our God Throne too much. You have to know that among the four kings back then, her strength was not comparable to that of Heaven Realm. But why did she become the God Throne in the end while Heaven Realm was still in power? His Heavenly King? But after this incident, Shenzuo also knows that Tianjie can no longer be arrogant, but I don’t know if Lord Shenzuo thinks the time has come to eradicate Tianjie.”
Cora looked at the falling lava outside the window and smiled: "Just watch, when she starts to move her hands, she will never act like a child like Shantora."
Vicky thought for a while. , still couldn’t figure it out, and asked again: “Then do you think the God Throne will absorb that boy Bing Zhixie to join the organization to fight against the heaven and the world? "
Kola seemed to have heard something very funny: "Don't say that God doesn't know it, even Shantora wouldn't think so."
" But there are many people in the organization who say this."
Kola said coldly: "They would say such things. Yes, only people like Rehogg would think so. They would only consider their own interests and not the interests of the organization. Absorbing Celeste Bingzhixie into the organization is a burning thing. What is Yuan most afraid of? They don’t want the second Modo Biseang to appear. In order to avoid GITW's pursuit, Ori has taken as little action as possible, and the boy who plays ice magic is looking for Long Ling. Sooner or later, whether it is Shengyuan or GITW, they will pay attention to him, so Shantora will only use this. Guy, wouldn’t want to bring him in.”
Vicki nodded: "Yes, he is just a seventh-level ice mage. There are still many such people all over the world. The organization does not need to recruit him to cause trouble. The subordinates finished asking their doubts and resigned. "
"Well, go ahead and don't bother me again. As for the new batch of monsters, let Xin handle it."
Vicky nodded again and said with a smile: "I just don’t know if Xin is free, you have found a guardian for her this time. She really liked the 'Two-Headed Prison Dragon'." After that, she left.
