Chapter 72: Ancient Ruins 5

The cold wind blew past.
As soon as Stephen arrived near the ancient ruins, Taling No. 1 scanned the rich negative energy field, which is the field ability generated in the natural environment. The rich death breath brings the undead creatures like fish.
Many wandering souls loomed in the mist.
After the soul of this world died, it entered the nightmare realm and turned into a lonely ghost. Finally, it completely dissipated and merged into it. Stephen did not find any existence to be responsible for sending the soul to the sea.
"These words!"
"Looking at a 70% similarity to the words in the Thorium Age!" Stephen crouched down and looked at the stone tablet in front of him.
It was engraved-"Sudarra, the shining pearl of the south, where the stars fell."
Stars?
Stephen frowned and chewed the two words, then raised the dragon leather robe, and the whole person disappeared into the shadows.
The sound of battle came from the front.
It seems that the people of the Five Ring Tower have already dealt with the ghost army stationed here. According to Stephen's judgment, they should be in no danger. After all, these ghosts were just ordinary troops during their lifetime. As long as it is not encountering a legendary enemy, there is no problem with the strength of other high-level wizards.
Stephen went around from the side.
There are a large number of undead civilians in this city, and just after approaching Stephen, he noticed something wrong.
Because these civilians are working.
Taking care of flowers and plants, cleaning the streets, moving goods, etc., Stephen even saw ghosts cooking food, but they just took a few bites of food and dumped it. In fact, these foods were not moved at all.
"They don't seem to know that they are dead!..." Stephen murmured.
The whole city is very strange.
As if all the undead did not know that they were dead, they worked exactly as they were when they were alive.
of course.
This is without any stimulation. When Stephen came over, he discovered that a small group of ghosts was shocked by the battle over the bridge, and then quickly changed into a ghost form and joined the battle group.
"what happened?"
"Is something in control of them? But what power can control so many ghosts at once?"
Stephen thought about it, and some strange white powder appeared in his palm.
Although he is an alchemist, the necromantic spells are also quite proficient. Stephen quickly arranged a magic circle on the ground, and then he stood in it.
"Spiritual Transformation!"
With a faint spell aura, Stephen's figure suddenly became blurred.
In the end, a ghost between reality and reality appeared in front of him, Stephen turned into a translucent ghost, except that the clothes looked exactly like other ghosts.
"Camouflage."
Stephen waved his hand lightly, and suddenly looked like other ghosts. It was also in the style of an ancient robe, and even had a certain degree of decoration.
He tried to walk to the street.
Sure enough, all ghosts were indifferent to him, as if they would only attack living people nearby.
"Bring me a glass of wine."
Stephen walked around the street and quickly found a building that looked like a hotel, but the roof had collapsed, but there were still many ghosts wandering inside. He walked in directly and sat down. The other ghosts were obviously shocked by his arrival, but then returned to normal, but his expression was still dull.
"Your wine." A maid floated over.
At this time, the boss sitting on the bar looked at him, and he slowly said: "We haven't seen strange faces here for a long time. Are you from a foreign country?"
"Uh." Stephen nodded.
As soon as he entered this ancient ruin, he discovered that all ghosts are moving according to a specific range. For example, in this hotel, other ghosts will not look at them when passing by.
The innkeeper just asked a word and turned to wipe the bar.
In just one hour, he has wiped the bar wine glass many times.
"What's the people outside being busy with?" Stephen waited for a while, trying to listen to their chat, but the ghosts only drank in silence, as if they had no idea of ​​talking at all.
The innkeeper looked up at him and said slowly, "The star festival."
"Tomorrow is the festival for the birth of the stars!"
This sentence seemed to cause a little reaction, and one of the ghosts dressed as a businessman looked up and said: "Is Queen Veronica's illness cured?"
queen?
correct!
I seem to have heard that this is a city of ancient witchcraft empire.
"do not know!"
"Maybe Lord Wizard, Vera has a solution! After all, he is the most powerful legendary wizard in Sudala!..." said another ghost.
disease?
Stephen moved slightly, pretending to be casual, and asked, "What's wrong with the queen?"
A brief silence.
In the end, the innkeeper spoke slowly: "Nightmare!..."
"Queen Veronica is haunted by nightmares! ... The wizards in the palace seem to be helpless! ... Fortunately, the chief wizard, His Excellency Vera, is coming back from overseas soon..."
Nightmare!
When he heard these two words, Stephen's heart choked.
suddenly.
Everything seemed to be clear. He turned to look at the ghosts in front of him, and then turned his eyes to many ghosts outside. No wonder they all repeated the same thing. No wonder they didn't even know that they were dead.
It turned out that they were all trapped in a dream!
These people simply do not know that they are dead. They have been under the control of some terrible evil force, repeating everything before death day after day.
"alarm!"
"Anomalous energy fluctuations detected! ... evil spirits detected! ... evil spirits are rapidly approaching!..."
"An unknown energy erosion was detected!..."
"It is recommended that the owner immediately leave the scope of the ancient ruins!..."
Suddenly ~EbookFREE.me~ Stephen felt a little drowsy, he almost woke up immediately, turned directly and walked outside without turning his head.
Some evil existence discovered him!
In the mist, some gray shadows suddenly appeared near the hotel, they were like twisted shadows, watching all the nearby with dark red eyes. Fortunately, at this time, Stephen had already gone far. After a little distance, he directly blessed himself with advanced stealth and then evacuated outside the ancient ruins.
There is also a more dangerous existence than fan locks!
Stephen must find a way to remind the wizards of the Five Ring Tower, otherwise they may be destroyed by the regiment if they are too deep.
