Start with the Readers Chapter 155: The Mausoleum of the Black Emperor
The original island that Abner and Bernadette set foot on is huge in size, not inferior to the Blue Mountain Island.
On the island, huge dark green and almost black trees towered one after another, covering the ground and covering the mountain peaks.
However, in the eyes of the two "information creatures", the whole island is shrouded in a layer of distorted "rules", which seems very depressing.
"This is the power of the 'Dark Emperor', right?" Bernadette's darkened eyes returned to normal, and she turned her head to ask Abner.
"Yes...but because your father has not been fully resurrected, this "distorted" power has not yet reached the level of a true god...so, the real danger does not come from him." Abner pressed the monocle on his right eye with his left hand and said.
At the same time, he pointed forward the "Hermit's Rod" in his right hand, and immediately a "fog" constructed by "knowledge" enveloped himself and Bernadette, and the two figures disappeared. All traces were hidden.
This is the effect of "Mysterious Reappearance - Adam Behind Anderson".
They moved forward along a road opened up by humans, and soon entered a forest composed of huge trees.
There is no sound of birds singing, no roaring of wild beasts, and no movement of insects crawling.
According to the "Roselle's Diary" that Bernadette can roughly understand, there should be many extinct extraordinary creatures here. Normally, it would be quite lively, but now, she feels that she is in an uninhabited grave. Walking through the field, every giant tree is a tombstone.
Those Extraordinary people with weak minds must have tensed up at this moment, bearing heavy pressure, and getting closer to the edge of losing control a little bit, but Bernadette's expression did not change at all, after all, she often "plays to death" "She has a lot of experience in exploration, these are just small scenes...
What's more, the person walking with her is the incarnation of a true god, Abner who knows everything in her heart.
After walking for nearly two quarters of an hour, their eyes opened up, because the huge trees suddenly became sparse in front of them. Beyond the sparse forest is a large open space, where countless creatures crawl.
Among them are red dragons with flames flowing from their skin, treants with wood tumors as eyes and slits as mouths, demon wolves with eight legs, giants with deformed limbs, dark green scales, oily feathers, Just coiled there, it looks like a feathered snake on a hill, and there are various creatures that are a mixture of humans and beasts.
At this time, they are all facing one place, crawling with their upper body or head, as if they are worshiping an unknown existence,
No one made a sound.
There are even a few humans in there.
One, two, three, four, five... When Bernadette counted the number of humanoid creatures, Azure's pupils suddenly dilated a little.
She remembered that she mentioned in the diary that the primitive island her father discovered had some kind of peculiar pollution, which could allow the creatures that died because of this to return here, no matter where the corpses were, and return to the source.
Among the "knights" who followed Emperor Roselle back then, Green died first, then William and Perry, but apart from the three of them, no one else died in the corresponding incident. At this time, those extraordinary Or there are five people in the mutated creature.
Who are the other two?
She couldn't help looking at Abner beside her.
Receiving Bernadette's "knowledge-seeking" gaze, Abner didn't care whether the "invisibility" would be invalid because of this, and said directly: "It's Edwards and Benjamin."
Uncle Edwards? Uncle Edwards also returned to the island... Didn't he not suffer from pollution and die from it... Didn't he move his family to Lunburg and spend his old age there?
One thought after another flashed through Bernadette's mind, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she used the "Peeping Eye" to carefully observe the five people, and found that they were all wearing luxurious Roselle Clothes from the period, pale face, dry skin, more like a living corpse than a human.
"Nature Walker
'You can also regenerate yourself after death. In essence, it is not much different from this small island, but it is a pity that they are not 'natural walkers'. In the current situation, they just suffered from 'fallen' Mother Goddess" pollution. After explaining a few words to Bernadette with a smile, Abner took her hand and walked towards the five people who were worshiping.
Bernadette's heart moved when she was pulled, she could feel that "information" was continuously entering her body through the position of her hand, forming a "barrier" on her spirit body, so He didn't resist, and asked instead:
"Are we not going to look any further?"
"No need...your father is the 'Dark Emperor', representing the shadow of order'...and the loopholes on this island where the 'death-rebirth order' was established by the "Fallen Goddess" And the shadows, that is, Edwards and Benjamin, are the old ones...it is Emperor Roselle who protected them from being completely polluted...although it is difficult to get rid of the 'Fallen Goddess' that is. "
When Abner spoke, the two of them had arrived near the five people and many strange creatures who were worshiping God's Xie. Along different roads to different orientations of the virgin forest.
Abner pulled Bernadette and followed Edwards until he arrived at a cabin that was incompatible with the surrounding barbaric atmosphere.
At this point, Abner no longer hides, picks up the "Hermit's Rod" with one hand and points forward, and at the same time borrows the power of the body to give a new "interpretation" of the "pollution" attribute on Edwards .
Wearing the luxurious clothes of Roselle's period, Edwards with all white hair and an old face froze for a moment, and then said to himself in disbelief: "I'm dead...why? Come alive again here?
"Could it be that I, like Green, have already been polluted...
"It seems that the only one who escaped was Karen who strongly opposed the exploration and didn't board the ship..." After he muttered a few words, he suddenly found two more people holding hands together in front of him. people. Edwards watched them warily for a few seconds, opened his mouth, and said in a low voice:
"Her Royal Highness."
Bernadette glanced at Abner, then remained silent for two seconds before responding: "Uncle Edwards...why are you here?"
"I thought it was my destiny, to guard His Majesty's destiny...but just now, I thought of everything, and realized that it might not be that simple." Edwards smiled wryly, and looked at him again. Abner, who was holding Bernadette's hand, asked after deliberation, "Who is this?"
"You can call me Abner Bryan, I temporarily blocked the "pollution" on your body, otherwise, the moment you remember that you are dead, you should be cleaned up by the "will" of this island Yes." After Abner answered briefly, he continued, "As the emperor's most loyal knight, you should be able to get in touch with him now, so pass it on to us."
——The other party is both Bernadette's "uncle" and Edwina's great-grandfather, so Abner was very polite when he spoke.
In addition, when he just "explained" the definition of pollution on Edwards, he had a vague "insight" on Lao Huang's current state, and knew that his situation might be better than he imagined.
"Finally, the years before his death were not in vain." Abner complained in his heart.
Edwards ignored him, but looked at Bernadette, who pursed her lips and said, "Please inform him for us."
Edwards nodded and closed his eyes, as if he was communicating with someone.
After a while, he turned around and went to the utility room of the wooden house to take out a rusty iron-black axe, and then said: "Your Majesty asked me to take you there...."
After speaking, he took the ax and walked towards the rear area of the wooden house step by step.
Abner and Bernadette looked at each other, and then quietly trailed behind Edwards, among the huge dark green trees and dark sharp bushes, and walked towards the peak of the island.
That is four or five points
In a matter of minutes, the trees in front of them disappeared.
This is not the kind of gradual transition from dense to sparse, until the disappearance of blank space. With an invisible line as the boundary, the huge trees suddenly disappeared.
Beyond that invisible boundary line is a mountain peak several hundred meters high, and its top is also covered with those dark green and almost black giant trees, so that when viewed from a distance, it almost blends with the forest , indistinguishable from each other.
However, the mountain was facing the side of the three of them, and there were no trees in most of the area, because the mountain was hollowed out by half. In the middle of the mountain, a black mausoleum stood there, in a state of great grandeur.
Most of it belongs to the mountain itself, and a small part has traces of artificial construction and polishing, which really explains what it means to "take the mountain as a mausoleum".
So, the shape of this mausoleum is not the usual pyramid shape, but more like a towering mountain peak, which is not symmetrical, but absolutely majestic.
I don't know whether it was the mausoleum itself that had an impact on the outside world, or Edwards cleaned it up, but not a single weed grew on its surface, nor did it cover the vines that are common in other places on the mountain.
This allowed Bernadette and Abner to directly see the various characters and symbols engraved on the mausoleum, as well as the heavy stone door nearly 30 meters high that seemed to be prepared for giants.
Bernadette is no stranger to those words and symbols, and after a little identification, she recognizes that they either come from the "Civil Code~IndoMTL.com~" formulated and promulgated by her father, or belong to the new social fashion created by him , or directly the design drawings of certain inventions.
The majesty and distortion of the "Dark Emperor"... Abner just muttered something, Edwards stopped in his tracks, and stood in front of Abner, saying in an unquestionable tone :
"Okay, I have arrived at His Majesty's mausoleum, you can have an audience.
"However, Your Majesty needs to summon Her Royal Highness first, so you stay here temporarily."
Hearing this, Abner stuck the "Hermit's Rod" on the ground, pressed the crystal lens on his right eye, and asked with a smile: "I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again? "
Edwards frowned, dissatisfied: "I said, I have arrived at His Majesty's mausoleum, and I can have an audience." After a pause, he added: "Don't keep Your Majesty waiting."
I don't know why, no matter how he looks at this young man, he instinctively feels disliked...Abner then picked up the staff, saluted, and said with a smile, "Thank you for leading the way."
After finishing speaking, he pulled Bernadette through a heavy stone door and entered the "Dark Emperor" mausoleum.
