288 The crown of the graveyard
wraiths couldn’t deal any physical damage to themselves, so they could only rely on their ability to absorb stats, and they couldn’t do anything to zhao xu at all.
Zhao Xu could tell that there was something unusual about the plot, so he was even more daring as he walked forward.
A Wraith was a soul that had already gone mad, so there was no way he could communicate with him.
moreover, as he got closer, the mumbling in his ear became stronger. coupled with the deep and closed space, the wraiths floating above his head looked like ghostly shadows, which made him look extremely creepy.
However, as a man, and as a wizard and priest with spells, Zhao Xu naturally had the ability to deal with virtual undead creatures.
at this moment, he had no distracting thoughts and began to observe the group of undead creatures.
After knowing that every building in the land of the sleepers was actually Arthur’s former haunted house, he was slightly worried about Wang Ningwei and asvich, who might be hiding in this city.
Even if there were more than 20 vengeful spirits with a challenge rating of 3, their serial numbers would only start with ” low. as for the ones with ” medium ” and ” high ” danger codes after that, even if Zhao Xu used the power of the Lord of the Undead, he might not be able to deal with them.
Zhao Xu’s gaze fell on the wraiths floating on the ceiling. He scanned them one by one as if he was trying to identify them.
after seeing that lux was a little confused, zhao xu said, ” “at the end, we heard that the murderer was thrown in here and locked up, letting these resentful spirits deal with them. it was quite satisfying to hear.”
it’s just that this is really a method to dispel the ‘vengeful spirits’, not a method to create’ anta city’.
“Just like the creatures with the ‘ghost’ template, they can dissipate normally as long as their last wishes are fulfilled. although the ‘vengeful spirit’ doesn’t necessarily dissipate, it’s still somewhat close.”
Lacus listened to Zhao Xu’s analysis. master, you’re saying that the people who were thrown in here weren’t the murderers? ”
however, zhao xu shook his head. ” i just heard the voices of 22 vengeful spirits. then, i created a file and analyzed the content and title they mentioned in their messages. i discovered something. ”
after zhao xu’s memory had improved, he was now able to draw up a draft in his head. no matter how messy the information was, he could still sort it out.
“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. He turned his head around and looked at the mysterious painting that had been hanging around the corner when he had just come down the stairs.
“Because the few murderers who were used as sacrifices have also become vengeful spirits! They’re also defending themselves in pain.”
” vengeful spirits have the supernatural ability of ‘going crazy’. anyone who tries to probe, control, or sense their minds will be hurt by their perception. this might be the reason why the town didn’t realize this truth at first. ” zhao xu said.
Zhao Xu now had the undead special ability, so he was only immune to attribute absorption and not attribute damage, so he didn’t try it out rashly.
after some sorting, he found that there were still many vengeful spirits who did not make sense, as if they were talking about different things. this could only be found with the following evidence.
As he thought about this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but look at the other rooms that were connected to this Hall.
if the four murderers who tortured the tourists at the beginning were also controlled by a ‘spell’, it meant that this haunted house was created on purpose.
This meant that the priests of hell were very suspicious.
their job was to berate and even command the undead creatures.
It should be the priests of good gods who dispelled and destroyed the undead creatures.
It was just that the other party had directly thrown the murderer into a haunted house at the beginning. This was a method that a good priest could not do, which attracted everyone’s attention.
this showed that the vengeful spirit’s appearance in this room was a ‘premeditated’ action.
after telling lux about his speculation, zhao xu also slowed down his pace and started exploring the other rooms in this completely dark space.
he had already sensed that he might have accidentally touched the truth behind the land of the sleepers ‘establishment.
According to Lux, the houses in the city were all haunted houses with undead creatures.
but zhao xu had just realized that there were actually signs that these places could be man-made.
Even the killing itself could be intentional.
Perhaps it meant that the appearance of anta city was not something that happened naturally.
in that case, the land of the sleeping, anta city, wouldn’t just be a city of undead creatures.
at this moment, zhao xu gently pushed open a half-closed door and realized that all the furniture inside had been cleared out as well. it was clear that when they first moved this house, all the furniture had been cleared out.
after making sure that there was nothing unusual in the room, zhao xu tried to walk into this room that was about three by four meters wide. he slowly walked up and down to the window where the door was nailed shut.
This time, there were no sudden bloody handprints. It was still the ” dispel undead ” incantation that was circulated among the people of Arthur.
“What’s this?” Lacus exclaimed.
zhao xu focused his attention on the wooden board and understood what lux was saying.
These wooden boards that were nailed from the inside had scratch marks made by fingernails, as if someone had once struggled here to escape.
as for the vengeful spirit itself, it could not leave behind any physical traces.
“This was left behind by the murderers who were locked up here?” Lacus guessed.
zhao xu just nodded and didn’t say much.
suddenly, zhao xu knelt down and started touching the wooden floor that had become full of potholes because it hadn’t been maintained for a long time.
then, from the ordinary backpack on his back, he took out a stake that was originally used for climbing, directly inserted it into the crack on the floor, and suddenly pried it.
the wooden floor, which was not even the size of a step, was turned over.
The words were written in blood and filled Zhao Xu’s field of vision.
the back of the wooden floor was engraved with blood-red ritual incantations.
zhao xu could only shake his head helplessly after confirming his own judgment. as expected, the things that these evil priests did weren’t any better.
No wonder the death god was once an evil faction.
when the floor of this room was laid, the dead soul ritual to transform resentful souls had already been completed.
everything that happened after that had been deliberately guided to happen.
After understanding this, Zhao Xu also stood up.
” it seems that in this city where the buildings are scattered messily, the layout of each building has its own deeper meaning. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but look at the ground beneath his feet. There was probably a corresponding Ritual Spell there that was running the city.
the problem was, when the grim reaper was alive, he had specially built this city. what was the purpose of this situation?
He had even left behind a portion of his divine persona for the sake of it, so that it could be acquired by “Edmund” in the future.
This kind of arrangement was not revealed even after the death of the god of death. It was like a mage’s backup plan. If it was not used even after death, it would not be a backup plan.
zhao xu knew that he was involved in some shocking secret.
But at this moment, he had no way out. He could only be like his ancestor,’Edmund’, and continue to overcome all obstacles.
“Master, what should we do next?” Lacus had obviously realized the severity of the situation.
but zhao xu had already calmed down. ” do you remember the first two times i used the sacred sigil? the damage to the city was increasing every time, so when i use the lord of the undead for the last time, i’m afraid that this time, it’ll shake half the city. ”
at that time, we might be able to see the meaning of the ritual set up in this city.
” as for now, it’s time for us third-circle mages to play our role. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Xu took out a ball of white wax from his backpack and an alcohol lamp. He put on a glove and heated up the White wax in his hand with the alcohol lamp so that it could be molded into a shape. Then, he immediately created a ” ring ” that was more than ten centimeters in diameter.
now that he didn’t have the howard’s convenient sack, zhao xu couldn’t bring along a lot of his casting equipment.
casting a spell required many elements, such as ” incantation, ” ” posture, ” ” materials, ” ” equipment, ” and so on.
The materials were consumable, and any material that did not exceed 1 gold coin could be replaced with the material exemption talent.
But the ” equipment ” couldn’t be replaced, and the ring made of white wax in Zhao Xu’s hand was the next ” casting equipment “, so it was the same.
When he was done, Zhao Xu put the ring on the man’s head. At the same time, he took out something wrapped tightly in cloth from his pocket and spread it out gently, allowing the dirt from the cemetery to fall in front of him.
then, zhao xu started to chant in a low voice that sounded like the whine of a grave.
slowly, under the power of zhao xu’s incantation and the hand seals he was making, the dirt from the graveyard started to rise up into the air and slowly wrapped around his white wax headband.
then, a ball of eerie and cold white energy appeared in zhao xu’s palm. it was accompanied by an ominous aura, and he decisively poured it into the top of his head.
“the crown of the grave.”
zhao xu took off white candle’s headband, and a ghostly mist appeared on top of her head to form a new headband. then, it disappeared again.
in the end, all that was left was a crown of human bones made from magic, floating above his head.
