The reason why everyone looked at each other in confusion was because Old Gary mentioned a taboo word, that is, devil.
“Is it actually a demon?”
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, his eyes becoming more solemn.
Although I had heard this term before in the human world, and I was even called the Shadow Lord, but at that time, I didn't actually know what the devil actually meant.
It was not until after defeating the Chosen Son of the Evil God and through further investigation and research into the first two eras of the Blank Era that I learned that demons, like the Chosen Son of the Evil God, were both dependents of the Evil God.
Back then, when the evil gods bewitched and corrupted all races, demons were the evil gods' right-hand assistants and pioneers, and could be called their right-hand men.
Although the chosen sons of the evil god can be considered minions of the evil god, most of them are driven by the devil and cannot directly meet the evil god.
The most important thing is that even the weakest demons are said to be at least at the level of demigods, and the outstanding ones have entered the realm of gods, enough to compete head-on with gods.
Thus, it is not surprising that when old Gary mentioned the devil, everyone present would be extremely surprised.
Because this was the existence that almost assisted the evil god in destroying all races in the Solar Era. No matter what ancient books and documents it recorded, it was the embodiment of cruelty and danger.
"Old leader, what happened next?"
Lei Xiao calmed down and asked.
"I have heard everything about demons, so after discovering these unknown things, I immediately withdrew from the ancient ruins and made the decision to seal it permanently."
Old Gary’s old and hoarse response sounded, continue Said: "I clearly understand that even if there are extremely precious treasures of heaven, materials, earth, and even other items, it is definitely not a field that we can set foot on. Keeping it dusty is the best and only choice. ”
Hearing the sound, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Old Gary is right. In the Star Era, when the gods have already left all races, that is, today after the Blank Era, if a demon really reappears, it will be a complete catastrophe.
Thinking of this, a trace of confusion emerged on everyone's faces.
Since the old leader of the Broken Valley Alliance decisively chose to seal up the ancient demon ruins, why did what happened next happen? What about the twisted desire that the old leader just mentioned?
Just when everyone was confused, old Gary's old voice full of vicissitudes of life sounded again, revealing the answer to the question.
“After making the dusty decision, I immediately led everyone to deploy magic restrictions. Only in this way can the ancient ruins be completely sealed off.”
"But after all, the deployment of magic ban takes a long time, and it is definitely not a day's work. It also requires the laying of magic crystals in underground ruins as the foundation of magic ban, so I have always been personally involved in order to To prevent strong people from straying into the depths of the ruins."
"In the beginning, everything went very smoothly, until one day the war came to an end, and our soldiers from the Broken Valley Alliance were on the border with the second-rate forces. He suffered repeated setbacks, and even the deputy chief minister The leader was killed in the hands of the other party. "
"As a last resort, I had to rush to the front line to take charge of the overall situation, and handed over the matter of the Dust Barrier to my youngest son Waters who has been by my side. When he was in his prime, he once He has fought many victorious battles with me, has made great achievements in all aspects, and has won my trust. Unexpectedly, he..."
At this point, old Gary's skeletal body began to tremble slightly. He stood up and was speechless for a moment.
Hearing what the other party said, Lei Xiao already guessed the answer to the matter while looking at each other with Loris, Xina and others.
Before this, Gary Sr. had mentioned that one of his heirs died due to his own consequences, and it must have been this younger son Waters.
"Yes, you must have guessed that after I left, it was Waters who was bewitched and finally went to the deepest part of the ruins and personally awakened the lichs sleeping there."
Old Gary sighed heavily and continued to describe.
“When I got this shocking news, it was the second day after the border was stabilized.”
“According to the only Alliance general who escaped from the ancient ruins According to the recollection, until the few days before the incident, Waters had been in a daze, often mumbling words, and did not know who he was talking to. "
"When the other generals who stayed behind in the alliance saw this and came forward to ask questions, Waters returned to normal. He only said that he was reciting incantations. In addition, he was usually stable and mature, so he did not attract the attention of others. ."
"Until the day it happened, Waters suddenly declared that there were gods waiting deep in the ruins, which could greatly enhance the strength of everyone present. Then, regardless of everyone's dissuasion, he insisted on walking into the depths of the ruins with his followers who had never set foot before. "
"In desperation, others present had no choice but to Follow for protection, but no one thought that this would be the beginning of all destruction."
"At that time, the alliance general who had escaped by chance followed the team. He clearly saw that in ancient times. On the walls of the main hall at the deepest part of the ruins, thousands of inscriptions related to A black-robed mage who looks just like a normal person. "At the very back, there stands a huge statue that is too blurry to be seen. It is as big as a small castle. Although the statue cannot be clearly seen. The appearance is still disturbing and frightening.”
"The Alliance general had just moved his eyes away from the strange statue. Waters had already knelt down in front of the huge blurry statue and started talking nonsense again. It was indeed like reciting some kind of incantation."
“As Waters’ voice became more and more high-pitched and enthusiastic, the whole hall began to dance. "It was violently shaken."
"Just when everyone realized that the situation was not good and was about to step forward to stop it, they saw a strange black light rising from around Waters and his cronies. When the light gradually dimmed, Waters and others were already lying on the ground in a bloody state, as if they had been eaten by some kind of monster. Generally, it has completely lost its vitality."
"In shock, before the generals and strong men of other alliances could react, the surrounding walls with the black-robed mages engraved on them also glowed with black light, followed immediately. , thousands of black-robed mages walked out of the wall, took off their hoods one after another, revealing their faces. Zhang Zhang had a ferocious and haggard face like a mummy, and his eye sockets were shining with blood."
Hearing the sound, Xina looked surprised and couldn't help but ask: "So, those black-robed mages were killed. The awakened lich? And Waters’ previous actions were equivalent to a sacrifice?”
"Exactly like this, it was only then that the alliance general discovered that the lichs were not carving on the walls at all, but used the walls as a disguise tool, because after the lichs woke up, the walls were all covered with The corresponding human silhouettes are left behind, and they are hidden in the lines like sculptures."
Old Gary nodded heavily and responded. : "Then what happened became obvious. The lichs laughed ferociously and launched an attack, turning the entire hall into a purgatory. Only the alliance general managed to escape amidst the screams and ferocious laughter."
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Hearing this, Loris took a deep breath slowly, and the lion's face was full of solemnity and solemnity.
Facing a sudden attack by tens of thousands of lichs, the despair of those strong men in the Valley Breaking Alliance was obvious at that time, because the strength of the lichs was at the lowest level of the fifth level, not to mention all of them were the most ferocious. This is evident from the users of forbidden spells.
"In the final analysis, it was Waters who was so eager for strength that he opened the taboo box under the other party's bewitchment. It's also my fault. Waters shouldn't be left there, let alone let him take charge of the overall situation. ”
Old Gary’s voice was full of pathos and desolation, He sighed heavily again: "As for what happens next, it is self-evident."
"When I led the elite soldiers back, not only the entire ancient ruins and the surrounding blockade The barracks, and even the surrounding cities were not lucky enough to Otherwise, everything has become a land where lichs roam unscrupulously."
"Those terrible and evil guys are like swarms of locusts who can use necromancy. Wherever they go, there is no grass and ruins. Everyone I saw turned into dead souls "
"Although the elite army led by Erwu had the upper hand at the beginning, it was eventually defeated because all the dead soldiers were turned into undead and swung their swords at the enemy just now. Pao Ze is still fighting side by side.”
After hearing Old Gary say this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, with a look of empathy.
I remember that I had seen this terrifying scene when I was fighting against the Nightmare Knight in Kongqing Town.
When you see with your own eyes that Paoze, who was advancing and retreating together just now, was turned into a skeleton warrior, and then began to fiercely attack him with swords, both mentally and in the battle situation, he will be facing The soldiers dealt a huge blow.
It is conceivable that the tens of thousands of lichs were not controlled by the undead at the beginning, and they would never let go of any fallen corpse.
“Until the end, I began to retreat steadily, and the main generals and other heirs around me also died in battle, so that the entire alliance almost became the opponent’s world, and only this building built on The underground city above the capital.”
Old Gary's voice full of vicissitudes and sorrow sounded again, and he looked at the stone elf beside him, and his voice became softer: "It was also during the process of building the dungeon that I accidentally used the "Truth of Truth" passed down from my ancestors. "Key" opened the "Gate of Truth" where Yuyou was, and finally adopted Yuyou as his granddaughter. ”
Hearing the sound, everyone present was moved.
Although the old leader spoke lightly, it is not difficult to hear from the words that after the death of his youngest son Waters, , while the former was retreating steadily and unable to protect their homeland, they also lost their ability to protect their homeland. Without his other heirs, he has undoubtedly entered a completely desperate situation, and the appearance of Youyou can be regarded as the only comfort for this frail old leader.
"You don't have to be like this, the reason why I am reduced to this day. In this situation, it's just your own fault. "
Old Gary's mandible opened again, and he tried his best to make a wry smile, and then said: "It's just that I am ashamed of the people and soldiers of the Broken Valley Alliance. As the leader of the alliance, I am I planted the seeds of disaster with my own hands, and was ultimately unable to stop it, leading to the destruction. ”
"Chief, I don't blame you. We are willing to fight with you until the last moment. It was the same then and it is the same now!"
As soon as Old Gary said these words, the other strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance around him They all stepped forward and said in unison.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao and others couldn't help but feel moved again.
It is not difficult to see from this that this old leader is indeed extremely loved and respected. However, the Lich is too powerful and domineering, otherwise the Broken Valley Alliance will undoubtedly be an extremely powerful force now.
Just when everyone was thinking about this, Old Gary gently patted the shoulder bones of the strong men in the Broken Valley Alliance around him and began to describe it again.
"To be honest with you, when we chose Youyou to form the secret method, we were already in a desperate situation, so I tried my best to find a hope of victory, even if it was just the slightest bit."
“After a series of attempts, I finally chose to inject sacred energy into my body without hesitation. With this method of engraving, even if we fall to this point and become the undead controlled by our opponents, we still have to give our opponents a fatal blow when they are not paying attention!"
Old Gary's voice was firm and unyielding! Moved, resounding in the ears of everyone present: "And what happens next, you all know Although there are some changes in the plan, we did not wake up immediately, but being able to get to know you today undoubtedly means that all our efforts have been in vain."
"You are so polite, old leader, to be able to hear this epic story. It’s a great story. It’s a worthwhile trip to find out the truth about what happened back then. "
Lei Xiao nodded heavily, and then there was a trace of confusion on his face, and he asked: "Speaking of which, old leader, forgive me for speaking frankly, since Waters was bewitched. , which awakened the lich, then who was he bewitched?"
As soon as Lei Xiao said this, Xina and Loris also cast doubtful glances over. This was also the biggest question in their minds.
“To be honest with Your Majesty the Human Race, this was also my biggest question back then. According to the surviving alliance general, those lichs were indeed awakened after Waters’ sacrifice.”
< br>Old Gary nodded his head thoughtfully and responded: "So my analysis is that maybe it is because of our While exploring the ruins, a certain lich was awakened, and Waters was bewitched by that lich, which eventually caused a disaster."
"But the old leader, the lich seems to be there. There is no such power to confuse people's hearts."
Loris frowned slightly and couldn't help but say.
"I thought so too, so I thought of another possibility." Lei Xiao took over the words, frowning more and more: "Do you still remember what the surviving alliance generals mentioned, that huge blur whose appearance is unclear? Statue? "(End of Chapter)
