Chapter 1221 Han Gu Weicheng
After Waddell's explanation, Angell understood that the so-called death mark was actually a mark of death.
For those who were marked with death, all their senses would be disturbed, and they would see some hallucinations, such as the agent of death, and they would be forced by the whisper of death, falling into endless madness. Finally, under the guidance of the death mark, they passed through the entrance of Moliere and came to the original Tan continent.
Angell always felt that it was too childish, but some of the situations described by Waddell were almost exactly the same as what Guxia encountered at that time.
If what Waddell said was true, then Angell could only say that those who were marked with death were the most unfortunate.
Because this was just Garm's instinctive behavior.
For those who were contaminated with Garm's breath of death, the final result was basically death, and this kind of death was swallowed by Garm, and even the soul dissipated. If Kurondo was here, he would execute Garm on his behalf, so that those people could at least keep their souls.
"Why not interfere with Garm and let it move to other places, so that people can avoid death?" The speaker was Greywood. It was not sympathetic to humans, but it was not only humans who disappeared in the ancient cold ruins outside, but many demons were also affected.
"Why move? There is no need." Wardell's tone was calm as before, but for some reason, everyone felt a kind of indifference to life.
They considered from the perspective of the victim, but did not consider the strength and background of Garm. What if it acted recklessly?
Greywood bit his lip: "Is there no one who can survive?"
Wardell: "Speaking of which, there is really a person who escaped from Garm's breath of death."
"Who?"
"Let me think about it." Wardell thought for a moment: "It seems that it happened a hundred years ago. A man who claimed to be Puxi'o escaped from Garm's mouth."
Puxi'o? Others have not heard of this name, but Angel happens to know this person.
"Pusio, the Sin Walker!"
Popota and Greywood looked over, and Angel explained in a low voice.
In fact, a long time ago, the Frost Moon Alliance wanted to build the Han Gu Ruins into a stronghold city, because there would be no invasion of demons and monsters there. Although there were rumors that "humans disappeared from time to time", it did not receive the attention of Frost Moon.
Finally, until a hundred years ago, a talented and genius wizard, "Sin Walker" Pusio, also disappeared in the Han Gu Ruins, which attracted the attention of Frost Moon. Later, they found that more than a thousand people had disappeared here in the thousand years of records.
This made Frost Moon give up the plan to build the Han Gu Ruins into a stronghold city.
"Then where did this human named Pusio go in the end?" Greywood asked curiously. According to Angel's account, Pusio had been missing for a hundred years, which means he did not return to the Southern Territory Wizarding World.
Waddell did not answer, but raised his head, looking through the totem mask and looking at the skeleton gate in the sky.
"Pusio went to other phases?" Graywood suddenly understood.
Wardell nodded: "He used some items to exchange for a chance to go to other phases, and I finally agreed."
Angel did not ask what items Pusio used to exchange for this opportunity, but thinking back to all the words he had said along the way since meeting Wardell, and the details in his words that were worth studying, Wardell should not have lied.
Even if there were lies, Angel believed that at least more than half of them were true.
This made Angel a little confused and uneasy.
He asked tentatively: "So, can we leave after Garm wakes up?"
Waddell nodded: "Yes."
"When will Garm wake up? Won't we be infected with the breath of death?"
"Although Garm wakes up for a short time, perhaps just a few seconds. But its frequency of awakening is very high, sometimes it wakes up once every three or two days, and no later than half a month." Waddell paused: "As for the breath of death that your Excellency is worried about, with the gift of Kurondo, it will not be infected."
Angel looked at the crow feather in his hand and said nothing. Instead, Bopota, who was silent all the way, suddenly asked: "What price do we need to pay?"
Waddell was too kind along the way. Even if he really saved the continent and indirectly saved Waddell, as a powerful ancient, Waddell's attitude still made them feel a little too friendly.
Especially before, Waddell was full of indifference to the humans killed by Garm outside. In this comparison, the contrast is too great.
Waddell was silent. In the silence, everyone felt cold sweat on their backs.
After a long while, Waddell said calmly: "No need to pay, this is my reward to the savior."
When Graywood heard this, he was relieved. However, Bopota and Angel were not so optimistic.
"Garm is still sleeping now. Why don't you rest in the Acropolis these days?"
...
This is a round stone room, with a carpet in the shape of a hexagram, laid in the middle of the stone room. In the middle of the carpet was a small exquisite table, on which was a silver candlestick, and the white candle in the candlestick was burning with a dim flame.
Greywood lay on the table, looking deeply at the "Eye of Light" in his hand.
Popota sat a little further away, and the candlelight could just illuminate the shadowy outline, but could not see him more clearly.
Angel sat opposite Greywood, closed his eyes and quietly felt the changes in his body after the fusion of his right eye.
This quiet scene lasted for about half an hour.
Popota suddenly broke the silence: "I think this Wardle may have other intentions. Letting us go without asking for any price is a bit too weird."
"Letting us go is weird? Didn't he say that the owner saved the continent, and he was thanking the owner." Greywood immediately glanced over.
"Even if Angel dispersed the power of the true spirit across the continent, even if Wardell and Yuantan Continent share the same fate, this is not the reason why he rushed to call Angel here. He could have just pretended that we didn't exist. But he didn't do that. Instead, he deliberately called Angel to the dark land. It's impossible that he didn't have a plan." Bopota said.
Greywood thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense. However, it was impossible for it to give in to Bopota: "Who said that going in this direction would be okay? What good luck spell was used to make a decision? Why don't you believe in your good luck spell now?"
Bopota was silent for a moment: "Good luck spells may also be blocked."
"Wardell is an ancient. Does he have to do this? If he really wants to do it, one finger is enough to kill us."
Bopota and Greywood's mutual debate has formed a situation where neither side will give in, but they each have contradictory views, and each thinks that the other side has some truth.
This makes the matter even more elusive.
There are more mysteries about Wardell himself.
Seeing that they were arguing more intensely, Angel stood up and said, "I'll go out for a while. You can continue to argue, but you can't fight."
The last sentence was a warning to Greywood.
Seeing Angel leave, Bopota didn't stay here. He couldn't beat Greywood now, and Greywood wanted to kill him deeply. If Angel was there, he could still suppress the situation, but if Angel left, he would be at a disadvantage facing Greywood. Although he didn't care about death, he hoped to see his sister before he died.
Bopota went to the compartment on the other side of the stone chamber, which was his separate room.
Angel pushed open the door of the stone chamber and came outside.
After walking out of the door, what Angel saw was a platform with a railing. Walking to the stone railing, the style of the Hangu Acropolis was in full view.
This is the commanding height of the Hangu Acropolis. According to Waddell, it was where the religious personnel of the Acropolis once lived.
Under their feet is a prayer church that is tens of meters high.
The reason why Wardell arranged them to rest here was that, firstly, the prayer church would not be invaded by the dead; secondly, it was said that Garm was sleeping in the basement of the prayer church.
Leaning against the railing, Angel looked at the Cold Ancient Acropolis.
The Cold Ancient Acropolis was not the most exquisite city Angel had ever seen, but it was built entirely of stone. At first glance, there was no wood, and it was full of primitive style and grandeur. In Angel's heart, from the perspective of grandeur, probably only the Ash Earth Giant Rock could be as famous as the Cold Ancient Acropolis. However, the Ash Earth Giant Rock was full of wizards' ingenuity, and it stood in the clouds, shining with golden light, which naturally had a grand addition; but the Cold Ancient Acropolis was different, it was a pure primitive impact. The indigenous people of the Cold Ancient era used stones to the extreme, and the quaintness and exquisiteness were integrated, and the density of buildings was the largest that Angel had ever seen, which made the grandeur of this city and the Ash Earth Giant Rock present two different feelings.
Angel couldn't help but sigh while appreciating it.
However, architectural art is not what Angel is most concerned about. Angel's eyes finally fixed on the phase gate in the sky.
At the beginning, Puxi'ao was able to go to other phase planes from the phase gate through a transaction.
Then can I make this transaction?
Angel was silent for a while and shook his head.
It is too early to consider going to other phase planes now. There is no need to think so much.
However, Angel believes that if other wizards in the South Region knew that there is a phase gate here, they would probably go crazy... The entrance to the original Tan continent is on the surface of the abyss. Wardell seems to be an aboriginal who can do business. He has both the geographical advantages and the people, which is enough to attract the attention of all wizards.
When Angel was thinking about horse racing, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
Angel turned around and found that it was Wardell wearing a totem mask.
"Sir Savior, I have something to discuss with you."
