Chapter 308 Ancient Secrets
As long as I rescue him, I will agree to all my requests?
Lillian didn't believe the other party's words at all. How could such a good thing happen? Moreover, "being able to fulfill all requests" itself is an unreliable statement.
Could this guy who hides his head and shows his tail help the great Lost Lord to fully recover?
How is it possible!
Obviously, that is impossible.
But in order to collect more information and get rid of the current predicament, Lillian continued to ask:
"How do you want me to save you?"
The old voice continued to answer.
"It's very simple, just do a ritual... Come on, cut your flesh and blood, let the blood stay on your body, and then recite a spell with me."
It was a deep, hoarse, old voice, as if it came from the whisper of the abyss of hell.
It was full of temptation and evil, which made people shudder. Every syllable carried a hint of irresistible temptation, as if it was lurking in the darkness waiting for the call of the fallen.
However, Lillian, who was experienced in induction, could not help but sneer after hearing this, and said calmly: "I can't do something inexplicable, especially a ceremony that may provoke uncertain consequences."
"Your promise is too much like a scam, how can I believe it."
The old man seemed to be angry, and a cold snort appeared in the voice.
"Hmph, then you will stay in the bottomless pit forever and never get out again!"
The voice disappeared soon, and it seemed that Lillian was the only one around.
She took a deep breath and tried to walk around, but she still had a very strong sense of weightlessness, and she couldn't see other members of the Fisher family.
What's going on?
Lillian always felt that something was wrong. It didn't seem like she really fell into the bottomless pit, but it seemed that she was in a special and wonderful state.
"What's going on?"
The darkness gradually gave Lillian a feeling of confusion and loneliness, as if she was in a bottomless and distant abyss, which made her feel deeply depressed.
——
Byrne suddenly found that everyone around him had disappeared.
He seemed to be still falling.
The surroundings were boundless darkness, as if there was endless silence in the void. All the light seemed to disappear in the darkness. Time seemed to become blurred, and there was no sense of direction.
He was very calm and did not feel fear. Instead, he carefully used the "Mirror Deflection" in his extraordinary power to protect himself, then used "Full Concealment" to make himself invisible, and finally summoned a substitute to cushion his feet.
With "Substitute Byrne" and "Deflected Mirror" under his feet to resist the impact, Byrne felt that even if he was really hit hard on the ground, he would not be the first to bear the damage.
As long as he was not the first to bear the fall damage, he could use the teleportation ability to solve the collision problem.
Byrne's substitute acted as a "stepping stone" with an expressionless face.
However, a long time passed, and Byrne in the darkness still did not notice the landing point.
"Isn't it going to fall to the other side of the world?"
Strange situation, he soon began to think about how to break the situation. Deep down, he didn't think this was really the so-called bottomless pit.
"Something is wrong, could it be..."
Byrne frowned slightly and tried to use the deconstruction perspective to analyze the composition of everything around him.
Suddenly he found the source of the problem and realized that his senses were induced. It turned out that the so-called "weightlessness" was just an illusion. In fact, it was a deception caused by being surrounded by all kinds of "mysterious substances" around him.
And under the deconstruction perspective, those "mysterious substances" were gradually analyzed for their true colors.
"So that's it."
Byrne, who had read many books, instantly raised his head and recalled the details about it through "deep memory".
It turned out that the many darknesses around him were actually a substance called "black condensation cloud" in the books. They looked no different from ordinary black clouds. They often gathered in the dark depths of the ground. Once someone approached, they would produce hallucinations.
In fact, they had already reached the bottom of the island, but because they fell into the "black condensation cloud", they felt like they were falling all the time.
"The book records that this substance is afraid of fire."
Byrne took a deep breath and then stretched out his hand to release the flame.
Let the darkness around fade away.
The light of the flame passed through its swaying body, gradually lighting up everything around it. Under the charming light, the darkness was no longer a long sky, but gradually moved away like a frightened ghost. The light and heat continuously released by the flame seemed to be the life force competing with the darkness, and finally the darkness collapsed.
The sense of weightlessness disappeared in an instant, and he quickly saw the black clouds around him. They were also constantly retreating as if they had life.
When the black clouds faded away, the people trapped inside also revealed their true faces.
Chris stood calmly and looked at the other three people around him.
Lillian took a deep breath, immediately looked at her father, and asked: "What is going on? I just felt like I fell into a bottomless pit."
Yager, who was squatting on the ground, also stood up, frowned, and asked calmly: "What happened just now?"
"This is the situation."
Byrne explained the situation to everyone. After listening, everyone looked at the black clouds that were gradually dispersing on the outside, and then noticed the environmental conditions inside the island.
Yag said in shock: "What a big space!"
The underground space inside the island is vast and endless, as if it extends to the dark abyss at the end. The towering vault supports the entire space, and a faint light from the outside world emits from the hole in the middle.
The light casts mottled shadows through the cracks and holes in the unknown depths, reflecting on the walls, looking pale and mysterious.
The ground is covered with ancient stones and decadent ruins, showing the weather without mercy.
Everyone in the Fisher family felt a desolate atmosphere permeate the air, as if time in the underground space had stopped, imprisoning this area forever in the distant past.
Occasionally, there will be faint echoes nearby, like ancient whispers, spreading and echoing in the huge underground space.
Some vague structures can be seen in the distance, which seem to be historical relics buried by time, or unknown buildings from distant times. This vast and empty underground space seems to be a solidified ancient legend, containing many unsolved mysteries.
Yag took a deep breath and said, "This seems to be a ruins?"
He immediately looked at Byrne and said happily: "Congratulations, Lord Byrne! You are very likely to complete the promotion ceremony directly here!"
Lillian also looked happy, but Chris didn't show it obviously, but his eyes still showed happiness.
Everyone in the Fisher family hopes that Byrne can continue to live, and they never want that man to leave like this.
Lilian immediately said: "This is indeed a ruins, and it is also an ancient ruin left by those well-known false gods. I just heard a person who called himself the 'Time Stone' say so."
Upon hearing the existence of the "Time Stone", Byrne was instantly shocked and said immediately:
"Wait a minute, you just said 'time stone', did you hear the sound of 'time stone' here?"
He had a strange feeling that the people in the Alchemy Council were suddenly connected to other people in reality, and it felt unreal.
Lilian nodded seriously, sensing that her father's mood was not right.
"Um."
She quickly recounted what she had just experienced.
After hearing this, Byrne took a deep breath and said quickly: "You may have forgotten, but I once told you that the 'Time Stone' is a member of the Alchemy Council."
"Back then, Viscount Best was also a member of the Alchemy Council..."
"He often sells extraordinary materials from the Sunless Sea and the Ghost Sea. I didn't expect to be trapped here... Although I have known him for a long time, I don't even know whether the 'Time Stone' is a human being."
Byrne fell into deep thought. The people in the Alchemy Council are not easy to mess with. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to suddenly encounter the "Time Stone" here.
But no matter what, there are currently only two goals they must accomplish.
The first thing is to find the treasure that the Lost Lord wants.
The second thing is undoubtedly to complete his promotion ceremony.
"Let's go find what we're looking for."
The group of them continued to move forward, and the black clouds immediately receded when encountering the flames, just like living creatures.
This ancient ruins is grand and empty, as if sleeping in the arms of time. The towering ruins stretch across the ground, exuding an atmosphere of long time. From the towering ruins, the four members of the Fisher family can Feel the glory and majesty of the past.
The ancient stone pillars are inlaid with symbols of ancient culture, showing the magnificence of the past. The silent stones show the shining marks of civilization. There are also many totems and murals eroded by wind and sand, giving people a glimpse of the prosperity of the past.
Byrne looked at the squares and streets hidden among the ruins, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "It seems like a city."
“Why was the city built here?”
The faint sound of wind echoing in the ancient ruins broke the silence, seeming to transport the four of them back to an ancient and mysterious era.
They soon saw a huge crystal wall blocking the front, with two very large gods drawn on it.
The first god has an appearance that cannot be distinguished between male and female, holding a sword and a shield in each hand, and wearing a full-body armor full of power.
On the other side of the wall, there was a thin god without a hand-held weapon, his eyes glowed silvery-white, and his body was burning with flames.
Lilian immediately said in shock: "Those are the portraits of two false gods... order and redemption!"
Byrne analyzed and said: "It seems that the two false gods are confronting each other. Could it be that they have fought here before? Or have people in this ancient city witnessed their battle?"
Everyone was shocked after hearing this, and suddenly felt that this was a possibility.
Could this ruins of an ancient city really have been a battlefield for gods?
At this moment, something happened that shocked the four members of the Fisher family. The two huge murals kept flashing with light, and finally the shadows of two gods appeared in mid-air.
Their huge shadows were hundreds of meters high, facing each other in mid-air, and they even spoke!
"You know, the end is coming..."
