Hearing the old lich's words, Aleister immediately felt a strong sense of relief.
Matthias’s fearful aura could even penetrate the Night Demon’s protection...but Matthias himself was only a fifth-level transcendent.
Even if the Lich profession is the same "hidden profession" as the Sin Scholar in the current version, it is impossible to cross two energy levels and penetrate the toughness save of the Night Demon of the sixth level upper phantom.
This means that the blessing of this powerful power comes either from the gain of rare path characteristics, or from equipment that can increase priority. It's hard to say whether the former is true, but the latter... Aleister is sure he must be.
To put it more clearly, it is the ziggurat itself.
As the true tower owner of the Ziggurat, Matthias will definitely be able to obtain part of the power of the Ziggurat. As the core of the Ziggurat, it is the spine of Lingpo Tiansi.
The mages of the Narcissus Principality can often exert a power that is one level higher than themselves in their own wizard towers. And the power contained in the Ziggurat that has been passed down for thousands of years is definitely much stronger than that of the Mage Tower.
That was a power that could pose a threat to the descending Tiansi, so the Fallen Tiansi did not come to attack the first generation of Black Prime Minister.
Star Antimony's first-generation red phase and first-generation black phase were both killed after Aiwass, as an NPC, obtained version 5.0 of "The Lord of the Beasts". "Thousand-Year Oath Spirit Tower" is the main dungeon of the first generation of Black Phase.
In other words, in version 3.0 when the Fallen Heavenly Division descended, both of them were safe and sound - at peace with the Fallen Heavenly Division.
When the old lich clearly wanted to protect Aleister, even the Red Prime Minister Peng Bonazi did not dare to make any mistakes here.
So Aleister felt relieved and followed the old lich Mathias with Lily and Selene.
Although this is Mathias' office, it doesn't have much of a laboratory feel.
It looks particularly dark and gloomy, like a black-hearted factory——
Under the dim green light, the sound of gears rotating can be heard.
A complex machine that seemed to be about three or four meters high, not counting the various winding pipes, and only the main body was more than ten meters wide, was running stably. One after another, tall jars were operated upside down on the machine, each containing some bubbling transparent liquid with various biological tissues floating in it.
It seems to have the feeling of "folk biochemical weirdos are cultivating clones", which is eerie, terrifying and has the informality of an underground handicraft workshop.
However, neither the gears nor the machines are made of solid metal... but of bone.
Aleister reached out and gently touched the pipe beside him.
The pipe suddenly twisted its body, trying to avoid Aleister's hand, like a cat being scratched.
The nearby exhaust port made a violent coughing sound, and the entire machine was trembling violently. The tubes that looked like trachea were constantly twisting.
Aleister suddenly had an extremely strange feeling in his heart - it felt like the machine was scolding people, and the curses were quite dirty.
"If she wants to touch you, just let her touch her."
Matthias's cold and hollow voice sounded: "Will you survive if I touch you? ”
The low echo from the skeleton frame immediately silenced the machine.
"...The machine soul has been appeased."
Aleister murmured.
Only then did she realize one thing clearly -
Matthias's office on this floor was not originally like this underground factory.
But when Matthias was "preparing for the ceremony", a special machine was processed using necromancy on the spot!
——Everything in this room is undead!
Whether it is the pipes, the jars, the gears and machines... and the dim green lights that are on, indicating "running", they are all undead one after another!
Aleister rides on the Helchin Pegasus, and the round trip takes less than two hours.
——In just these two hours, Matthias used necromancy to construct a complete set of machines directly out of thin air for completing the ritual!
"Is this... the ritual used to solve that problem?"
Lily murmured.
She subconsciously did not dare to say the word "Hui Tiansi".
Ever since she realized where her abnormal talents and murderous impulses came from, she has been worried about her future.
It's not that I'm worried that one day I will no longer be myself... For a girl like her who came from a civilian background and became a personal maid since she was a child, she doesn't have a clear "self-awareness". .
It can even be said that Lily hates her strong "abnormality" because it brings her a sense of instability. Just like animals in nature covered with orange-red fur.
——This is also the source of her strong resistance to Selene.
Just like when a person grows up, he looks at the dark history left behind when he was young...
"I have been studying the ritual of sealing Tiansi for a long time."< /p>
Matthias did not get angry because he was questioned. Instead, he patiently explained: "Cyril also knows about this, so he recommended you to come to me."
"...Seal, Tiansi?"
Aleister murmured in a low voice.
Even she didn’t know that Mathias had such a past.
Cyril can know about this, which means...this was before MatthiasThere is no such thing as walking on the road at dusk.
Before he became a necromancer, was he already thinking about sealing Tiansi?
"...I thought that only the transcendent would possess this kind of ambition."
"That's why Cyril became friends with me."
The old lich's voice was calm: "We are the same kind of people."
"Can I ask?"
Aleister looked at the old lich: "Since Your initial goal was Tiansi... In other words, do you have a clear goal?"
"Of course"
Matthias replied: "It's Lingpo Tiansi."
"...Lingpo Tiansi?"
This made Aleister stunned for a moment.
——Isn’t that your own boss?
Before the Winter Maiden took over necromancy and the undead, the undead and the necromancers were both the domain of Lingbo Tiansi.
When Cardinal Cyril met Matthias, even the Kingdom of Star Antimony had not yet been born... People at that time had no way of knowing that the future Snake Father would trigger a "big war" "Promotion" wave.
If he planned to seal Lingbo Tiansi, how could he embark on the path of necromancy?
He even transformed himself into an undead... If Lingpo Tiansi loses his position, his own power will also be lost!
"I first met Cyril because I was studying the art of Ningpa..."
Matthias mentioned it briefly and did not continue.
At this point, the old lich changed the subject: "My original research allowed me to obtain part of the power of 'Ningpa'."
"Tiansi and the apostles arrived. In the mortal world, they themselves will become extremely fragile, but they still have divinity in their souls. But if you kill them at this time, they will often be released back to the dream world... Therefore, if you want to keep the descended gods in the material world, sealing is the best choice.
"It's incredible to say, but the principle is very simple - far simpler than the 'Tiansi-level ritual' you imagine. You can imagine that this is a glass of water mixed with wine. If you want to To purify wine, it is necessary to heat it until it volatilizes... The sacred soul is also 'lighter' than the mortal soul because it contains fewer impurities and is therefore easier to leave the body..."
The old lich said, letting Lily and Selene sit in the open jars on both sides of the instrument.
This huge machine looks like a huge bull's head.
The two of them were at the bottom of two horns that were spiraling upward.
The place where the King of the Wild Hunt wants to be is inside the cow's mouth.
Lily sat down from the chair with some uneasiness.
When the door closed, she was surprised to find that she was not locked in a dark room.
Although she sitsin a chair, but she felt like she was sitting in the middle of a frozen lake.
The lake broke into a thousand pieces, each piece exactly the same shape as any other. They are like a mirror broken into a thousand pieces, reflecting their own images one after another.
Lily looked at the thousands of people looking at her at the same time, and she felt a strong sense of dizziness and sleepiness. A strong suction force came from the thousands of mirrors.
She felt as if she had passed out and was dreaming. Her consciousness was half in reality and half in a dream.
At this time, outside, the old lich's voice was still ringing:
"...People believe that the glowing mirror can take away people's souls. This cannot be said to be a mistake. However, normally mirrors do not have such ability. People believe this because extraordinary people on the path of beauty can often travel freely through mirrors or seal the souls of others..."
The machine is roaring continuously.
In those transparent jars, the colorful liquids shook violently, mixing the contents together.
The strong emerald green atmosphere is everywhere.
"Is this...the power of the path of beauty?"
Aleister felt that his consciousness was a little blurry. He felt a sense of weightlessness, accompanied by colorful The vivid hallucinations - this made her feel as if she had returned to the kingdom of fairies: "Fairy spells?!"
The use of fairy spells requires that the caster must still have a childlike innocence!
Once children have fully grown into adults and no longer believe in fairies, fairy tales, and miracles, they will forever lose the right to use fairy magic.
——Because if all the children in the world lose their innocence, the "goblin" race will cease to exist.
"Sure enough, he is well-informed."
The old lich did not object, but agreed.
“The profession that is best at sealing souls is the ‘Mysterious Painter’ who is promoted while working part-time on the Dusk Path on the Path of Beauty. They can often draw portraits, make statues for each other, and even take photos of each other with cameras. Then the soul will be taken away.
“And if you use this ability skillfully and then use fairy magic to filter the soul... you can suck away the 'lighter soul'. I made a thousand mirrors like this. When the sum of the souls of any one of the two ladies is heavier than the other, the excess souls from her body will be sucked away, and the cycle will continue... The power of balance will protect them. soul. Then through a cycle ritual, the heavier souls will be picked out, and then I will replenish them from the dream...
"For those 'lighter souls', you need to use the art of Ningpa to remove them." They are solidified and deposited, but even if they are sealed and fall into deep sleep, only powerful enough undead souls can contain these remnant souls - because they are undead souls, they will not be affected by these sacred souls.They are controlled by will, and the will of dusk can keep them frozen without awakening them due to strong impulses on the road.
“I once sealed an apostle with a fifth-level undead. At that time, I judged that if I wanted to seal Tiansi, I would have to use a sixth-level undead.
"If the undead is made into an amber container, it can become the energy source of its own power. This is exactly in line with the concept of 'Amber' - the twilight thing that wraps life..."
Following the words of the old lich, the King of the Wild Hunt, who was standing quietly in the center of the ceremony, saw wisps of gray smoke spreading towards him.
Aleister was stunned - —
