After dinner, Aleister, led by Albert and others, went to the storage room of the Ziggurat.
Although the name here sounds a bit like a utility room, it is actually a very important part of the ziggurat. Its importance is second only to the Lingper spine, which provides core power.
"If you want to enter here, you need some protection. This can be regarded as a kind of key."
Adolf, who followed along, stretched out the staff in his hand and touched Aleister shoulders with the other two.
A faint yellowish film lightly covered their bodies.
Then they pushed the door open and walked in.
When Aleister entered here, she immediately felt the extremely strong power of the Dusk Path.
Everything here is as if time has been frozen... glowing with dim yellow light and maintaining absolute silence.
Not far away, there are more than a dozen rows of huge bookshelves. In addition to books, there are also bottles and jars containing organs, as well as some strange trinkets or packed documents. You can also see a huge opened treasure chest with a simple shape, filled with sparkling gold coins and various jewelry.
You can even see two people suspected of being thieves squatting next to the treasure chest, looking happy.
A person holds a gold coin in both hands and lets it fall naturally. The gold coins that slipped from his fingers solidified in the air.
The other person was holding a gemstone and a soft handkerchief, and seemed to be wiping it carefully. But now the handkerchief has become extremely strong and unshakable.
Some people kept walking forward and were frozen in place without noticing.
Some people seemed to realize something, with panic on their faces and raised their staffs.
"These people...are they thieves?" Aleister asked.
Her voice was not echoed, but others clearly heard it.
"Some are, and some are disobedient students."
Adolf said, closing the door to the storage room. His voice also sounded from the bottom of Aleister's heart: "The most powerful preservation technique of the ziggurat is kept in the preservation room. The principal's 'amber container' is here, and the power it emits is enough to make the surrounding time flow. "It's the principal's biggest weakness." "...Is it appropriate to tell me this?"
Aleister was shocked.
The so-called "amber container" should be the lich's phylactery. Different from the amber craftsman - the amber container made by the amber craftsman seals a soul inside and then transfers it to other bodies, which is a kind of preparation for seizing the body. If you can create a body without a soul, it can also be regarded as a kind of rebirth.
The phylactery is different - it is the core ability of the "lich". The lich seals his complete soul here. As long as the life box is not destroyed, even outsideEven if the body is destroyed, it can be reborn at any time. On the other hand, if it is destroyed, the principal will die immediately no matter how powerful he is.
For a moment, Aleister thought he might not be able to get out.
Adolf shook his head: "It doesn't matter. After all, it has been so many years, and this is no longer a secret. At least it can't be hidden from hostile people, so there is no need to hide it from friends... Even if there are people Knowing this, he can't get in. And you have the sixth-level Wild Hunt King who can control you at will. If you really want to be hostile to us, can the storage room stop you? In this case, it's better? Show the utmost sincerity directly.
"Also, you still underestimate the 'preservation technique'. 'Keeping secrets' is also within the field of preservation. The knowledge known here cannot be directly told to outsiders outside, and can only be handed over to others through riddles or hints - knowing the secrets People will eventually remain silent.
"No, look..."
As he spoke, the black-faced Adolf pointed the staff in his hand at a man wearing a hood and with a low sense of presence.
If Adolf hadn’t pointed it out specifically, Aleister would have really not noticed him.
"That was a master assassin, fifth level. During the Earth-Splitting War, Black Hawk's people wanted to assassinate the principal, so they sent him to sneak into the ziggurat. Obviously, he didn't Do it.”
Now, the man maintained his forward posture and was frozen in the past without noticing.
"And this person," Adolf pointed to another old man with a white beard who seemed to be chanting a spell, "the fifth-level archmage, the mage lord of Narcissus. And the silver-haired woman , that is a fifth-level moon child... I don’t know the others. There are many people who want to kill the principal, and now they are all trophies."
Said Adolf. Pointing to the canned viscera: "And these are all - the original owners of these viscera are all fifth-level experts. These are the most top-notch corpses that can be used for the highest level. Ritual and necromancy, these can be regarded as our tactical reserves.
“But these were not killed by the principal...they were collected by the predecessors and more predecessors. Each generation of principals will use their own strength to maintain the existence of this preservation room. Among the past principals, Mr. Grunewald has survived the longest, and only the teacher likes to keep these assassins and thieves together. Therefore, these people only appeared after they became teachers and principals. "
"...It seems that the principal has been treated as a boss before. "
Aleister murmured.
Faced with this secret, Albert and Aurora were not surprised. Apparently when they placed their teacher here , I have already heard Adolf talk about it once.
Anyway, with the talents of the two of them, the modern ziggurat will most likely rely on them.Dolph has wanted to retire for a long time. Whenever he brings Albert out, he can leave.
At this moment, Aleister suddenly thought of something.
That was the name of the dungeon after the old lich entered the dungeon - the Millennium Oath Spiritual Tower.
"...How long has the Ziggurat existed?"
Aleister asked: "You are the vice principal of the Ziggurat. You should know the history of the school, right? "
"Well. If it is a true ziggurat, it has existed for more than four thousand years."
Adolf knew this very well, and he did not hesitate. Answer: "At least it existed before the birth of human beings - the Ziggurat at that time was the inheritance of the Birdman, and it was called the 'Tower of Babel'. A long time ago, it used to be a mage tower."
< p>"...Mage Tower?"The two young necromancers had obviously never heard of this hidden history, and they couldn't help but make a sound of surprise.
"It was even called the 'Tower of Truth' back then, because it had the ability to deduce all the mysteries of the past and the future. The magicians in ancient times were different from today...whether it was necromancy, preservation, or... All mysteries such as astrology, alchemy, curses, and rituals are classified into magic, divided into nine major categories and twenty-seven subcategories, exhausting all the mysteries in the world.
"It is said that Wei Zhe. When he ascended to the gods in the past, he split time and space directly from the Tower of Babel and reached the dream world in the physical body.
"But after that, the Tower of Truth was suddenly destroyed by divine thunder one day, causing a fire that burned everything. Many ancient mages inside were killed as a result, and a lot of knowledge inside was lost and spread. Because thunder is In Weizhe's domain, many ancient mages believed that Weizhe demolished the ladder to ascend to the God after ascending to the Pillar God, so they hated Weizhe... But Weizhe remained silent on this, neither admitting nor Denied.
“In the past, the mages fought over this and the inheritance was scattered. Everyone no longer calls themselves mages, but calls themselves 'spell casters'. It was also after that that humans as newborns were qualified to learn this mysterious skill.
“Many forbidden knowledge stored in the Tower of Truth has been scattered and lost... Among them, the line with the most complete inheritance and preservation is us Necromancers who have also mastered the 'Preservation Technique' . Only those of us who understand the art of preservation can understand Weizhe's silence."
No wonder...
Aleister suddenly understood.
Preservation technology already involves conceptual level operations. Its power is obviously stronger than those of spells and astrology!
It turns out that it is because of its inheritance, which is the most complete inheritance among many spell casters...
"It wasn't until one thousand two hundred years ago that the first generation principal found Lingbo Tian from the deep sea. The backbone left by Si in the material world was built into the original ziggurat with the skills of building the mage tower in the past. At that time, the ziggurat was still on an isolated island overseas.It was a thousand years ago... that the Ziggurat finally fell to the empire.
“——Strictly speaking, the Ziggurat, with the Imperial people as the main race and the necromancy as the main inheritance, has only existed for less than a thousand years.”
Adolf said lightly.
It is as if it is not a thousand years, but dozens or hundreds of years.
And that name sounded in Aleister's heart again -
Thousand-Year Oath Spiritual Tower. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
