Vol 2 Chapter 2156: altar

Chapter 2156 Altar
At the end is an uncovered door. The door was dark, and nothing could be seen. Only the dead air was flowing constantly, whistling in the ear like a wind.
Frode closed his eyes, the power of the soul trembled in his brows, and ripples invisible to the naked eye opened.
After a short while, Frode opened his eyes and said, "The specifics are unknown, but there is no soul left, and there is no breath of living creatures."
After confirming that there were no living creatures and no undead threats, Frode and Angel entered the door.
The gloom inside is more intense. Moreover, without any energy driving, various crying ghosts spontaneously emerged in the ear, as if a large number of grieving spirits were whispering.
Angel was unaffected, but Frode's eyebrows kept beating, a look of patience.
When Angell saw this, he took a gentle step forward, and as the pace fell, an invisible mental force field enveloped him and Frode.
Under the shelter of the mental force field, Frode finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This must be the place where Mrs. Sheila rests. The remaining resentment is extremely strong. Standing here alone can seduce my soul. Dead gas. "
If it weren't for Angel's asylum, Frode would be here shortly. Once he inhales too much resentment, he only has one end, which is degeneration.
"In this way, it seems that this place is more suitable for practicing soul tricks than Xinghu Castle." Angel whispered, while extending his hand, a bright ball of light slowly rose from his palm.
The light sphere rose to the top of the head, and the brilliant light instantly dispelled the darkness and shone around.
This is an advanced level of luminosity.
Under the brilliance of the light technique, they can already see the situation within a dozen meters nearby. In the light range, there is nothing special, the ground is abnormally flat, and there are obvious sanding marks, which are artificially created.
Directly in front of them, at the edge of the light, a faint staircase was seen.
"It seems that this place is bigger than imagined." Angell whispered in a low voice, ten light created by the technique of light appeared at the same time in the palm of his hand, and the light flew in all directions.
The dark burrow was like a sunroof that opened in direct sunlight, instantly lit up. Even the deep dark corners have been replaced by light.
When the light completely replaced the darkness, they finally saw the scene in the earth cave.
The area of ​​the cave is very wide, even if you put down two or three Xinghu castles, there is no problem. The entire cave is very flat. In front of it is a high platform similar to an altar. A large number of regular cuboid stone platforms are placed near the altar. There is a small black cave every few meters around the edge of the cave. No other artificial traces.
Frow frowned for a week, and finally fixed his eyes on the high platform.
"This high platform ..." Frode pointed to the high platform like an altar: "The vitality above is extremely strong, just like the essence."
Needless to say, Angel was already aware of it.
Although it seems to the naked eye that there is nothing on the high platform, the breath of death, withering, and silence is extremely conspicuous. It can even be said that all the dead air in the entire cave was radiated from the high platform, where is the source ...
"It always feels weird here. Let's break up first to see if there is any discovery. Finally, we will go to the high stage." Angel did not go to the high stage to explore the source of death gas in the first place, but planned to break up with Frode The situation inside the burrow.
Froud nodded, and he was also very puzzled about this cave. Why is there such a cave? Who built it? What to do?
Angell applied a mental force field to Frode, and then went to the left of the platform by himself, Frode went to the right.
Angel first felt it with spiritual power. The only things on the left that are worth exploring are the cuboid stone platforms and the small caves on the edge of the cave.
He walked to the cuboid stone platform.
These cuboid stone platforms protrude directly from the ground, regardless of height and shape, they look like workbenches in a laboratory.
On the cuboid stone platform, objects were placed like a workbench.
A skeleton.
To be precise, it is a torn human bone.
It is a left-handed skeleton, which has completely dried up. Under the scour of thick and dead air, brittle cracks appear on the skeleton, and it is estimated that it will weather when touched.
Angel explored through the double eye circles of the naked eye and the spirit, and found that when this left-hand skeleton lived, there seemed to be traces of energy infiltration. However, he was not sure that his bone knowledge applicable to the wizard had not been fully learned, but he could ask Frode later.
In the absence of other findings, Angle went to another cuboid stone platform.
Like the previous stone platform, there is also a missing skeleton here, but the smaller one is the right palm bone.
Judging from the metacarpal bones, the knuckles are clear and not missing, and there are also traces of energy.
Angel recalled the previous left hand, which seemed to be larger than the right palm bone, and should not be the same person.
Immediately after that, Angel went to other cuboid stone platforms, each of which had a missing skeleton, different parts, and some were not human.
After reading the cuboid stone platform, Angle went to the small cave dug out of the cave wall.
He had previously checked the situation in the small cave with his mental strength, but now he just wanted to confirm it again.
After reading it, Angel was sure to have the same result as the spiritual vision: the small caves are not large, and they are only two meters deep. Each small cave houses a complete human skeleton.
Anger looked around the burrow for a week. These small caves were every few meters, and there were a total of 360 caves.
In each cave, there is a human skeleton in the same sitting position.
This is absolutely abnormal.
Angel seemed to be thinking something, his eyes darkened, and the silent pacing returned to the central platform.
Before long, Frode came over.
Frode: "The stone platform is full of broken bones, there are humans, humanoids, and some non-planar aliens. I feel that some extraordinary person may have done some secret research here. Because, all There are traces of energy use in your bones before birth, and they should not be mortals. "
Frode's judgment was similar to that of Angell. Angell groaned for a moment: "If it is really a secret study of the transcendent, it would be normal for humans and humanoids to appear here. However, there are skeletons of alien creatures It reminds me of a certain group. "
"Karabit." Frode echoed softly.
Karabit people's favorite is to study creatures, especially outsiders.
Angela nodded: "Perhaps a Karabite wizard, experiment here."
Frowder: "It is possible, but from the scene, it has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no trace of experimenters, so it cannot be confirmed."
Angela nodded, the skeleton on the stone platform had no more information for the time being, and could only temporarily lower it.
Angel: "My biggest concern is the skeletons in those small caves."
Frode recalled for a moment, shaking a little: "The skeletons are all intact, but they all sit in the same sitting position, which makes me feel a little creepy."
After a pause, Frode asked curiously, "Why do adults care about those skeletons?"
Angell groaned for a moment: "Each small cave has the same distance, the same size inside, the same skeleton as a human, and the same posture. Everything follows a unified norm. This reminds me It's ... "
Anger hesitated for a moment before exposing the word in his heart: "Ritual."
ceremony. Frode muttered the word softly. Ritual studies in the Southern Regions were not chased down by extreme sects like inscriptions, so he heard it, but he only heard it, but rarely touched it.
However, he knew that basically all sacrifice had something to do with ritual science. Even some schools believe that ritual science, like inscriptions, is born from the devil, but ritual science is born from the sacrificial ceremony between the devil and the believer.
"I was exposed to the ritual of rituals at Anada, and later learned some basics of ritual science with Greia." Angel recalled some ceremonial content of Professor Greia: "Being in control of the ritual Before, ritual science rarely had freedom, and everything had to be done according to rituals. "
"And the ritual rituals are very strict and rigid norms. For example, in the sacrifice ritual, the position of the sacrifice must be scattered ten times the distance of the tribute. The position must be 90 degrees ... "
"Because of the existence of these norms, the ritual can be completely carried out. The existence of small caves here, in my opinion, is a stringent and strict norm."
After listening to Angel's explanation, Frode also understood why Angel valued small caves.
First of all, the ritual itself is rare; in addition, the ritual of the ritual also uses human bones.
Regardless of whether the human bone was sacrificed to the living or to the dead, this all represents that this is a ritual suspected to be sacrificed.
The sacrifice naturally has a goal, and using humans as the target of the ritual is generally a demon, an evil god, a demon possessing divinity and feeding on humans, or a giant alien who is hostile to humans.
Otherwise, there is no need to use humans as ritual conditions.
Whether these are the devil, the evil god, or the other world, they are not related to each other, and they are all the focus of the wizarding world.
There is such a suspected sacrifice ritual that needs to be taken seriously.
"Since there are human bones as ceremonies." Angell looked back at the nearby high platform: "The high platform is without a doubt the center of the ceremony, the altar."
"As for who this sacrifice ritual is to be sacrificed to, just look up and know, there must be clues there."
Angel said, and took the lead on the altar.
With each step, Anger could feel that the death force's scouring of the mental force field became more and more fierce.
However, although the vitality here is very strong, it is not controlled, it is only an unconscious impact, and it will not cause any damage to the mental force field.
The staircase is a total of 36 levels, which exactly corresponds to the number of small caves, which once again confirms the standardization of the ceremony.
When they reached the top of the altar, a white-bone altar built with the dead bones of the dead was in sight.
There is nothing on the bone bone altar, but it is the most deadly here.
Angell guessed that Mrs. Sheila might have been on the altar before, so the death and undead breath here was so strong.
Froude walked around the altar and saw no other anomalies, that is, they could only search for clues from this bone-bone altar.
But at first glance, it is difficult to get clues on this bone bone altar. Not only is there nothing, but the altar is pure and flawless, and there is no texture.
Angel reached out and touched the bone bone altar.
When cold feedback came from his fingertips, Angel's gaze was slightly fixed.
"This bone bone altar has no energy left." Angel slowly said.
The bone bone altar is built with the dead bones of the dead. The dead bones of the dead are in the wizarding world a semi-finished magic material, which must contain extraordinary properties.
But now, the dead bones of the dead have been reduced to mortal things, without any extraordinary nature, which means ...
"The ceremony has already taken place."
Now that the ceremony has taken place, what exactly is this ceremony? Did the ceremony succeed or fail? Why is Mrs. Sheila here?
When Frode's head was full of doubts, Angel's palm slammed hard, and the bone bone altar fell apart instantly.
After a bang, the bone altar became brittle and fell to the ground.
As the bone bone altar was broken, the ground beneath the altar was revealed.
"Well, there's a symbol here!" Frode looked down, but saw that the center of the ground beneath the bone bone altar was a weird symbol apparently drawn by humans.
Angle also looked at the symbol. He just broke the bone bone altar because he noticed the symbol under the bone bone altar.
Now that the symbol is revealed, Angel is frowning.
He has never seen this symbol before.
It is very structured and can be divided into three parts. The outermost is a concentric circle. Inside the concentric circle there is a standard ritual hexagon. Inside the hexagon, there is a left and right symmetrical meandering symbol.
This symbol looks like two symmetrical and curved earthworms. When you look closely, it is printed in your head. It seems to be alive and twisting.
"Although this symbol does not appear to have any extraordinary signs, it is faintly connected with the strong vitality around it." Angel sighed. "Sadly, I have never seen this symbol."
The symbol inside this hexagon is obviously the key clue, perhaps pointing directly at the sacrifice object.
Angel looked at Frode across from him to see if he knew it.
Frode shook his head: "I've never seen it before. But it doesn't matter if you haven't seen it before. We can call for foreign aid ..."
