v12 Chapter 155: 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 entire 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 is not yet at the level of the true God...so, the real danger does not come from him." Abner Said after touching the monocle on the right eye with his left hand.

At the same time, the "Hermit's Rod" in his right hand pointed forward, and immediately a "fog" constructed by "knowledge" enveloped himself and Bernadette, and the two figures disappeared and disappeared all traces.

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 animals, and no movement of insects crawling. It is as peaceful as if time has frozen, and as dead as if there is no living thing.

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 like she is walking through an uninhabited cemetery. , 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 "kills" I have 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 thinner 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 and oily feathers. There, like a feathered serpent on a hill, there are all kinds of 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,

None 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 strange pollution, which could make the creatures that died because of it return here, no matter where the body was, and return to the source.

Among the "knights" who followed Emperor Roselle back then, Green died first, followed by William and Perry, but apart from the three of them, no one else died in the corresponding incident. At this time, those extraordinary or abnormal There are a total of five people in the creature.

Who are the other two?

She couldn't help looking at Abner beside her.

After 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?

Thoughts flashed through Bernadette's mind one after another, 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 period clothes. The side face is pale, with dry skin, more like a living corpse than a human.

"Nature Walker

’It is also possible to regenerate oneself after death. In essence, it is not much different from the specialness of this small island, but it is a pity that they are not "natural walkers". In this situation, they just suffered from the "Fallen Mother Goddess" pollution only. After explaining a few words to Bernadette with a smile, Abner took her hand and walked towards the five people who were worshiping.

The pulled Bernadette's heart moved, she could feel that "information" was continuously entering her body through the position of her hand, forming a "barrier" on her spirit body, so she didn't resist , and asked instead:

"Shall we stop watching?"

"No need...your father is the 'Dark Emperor', representing the shadow of order'...and the loopholes and shadows on this island of 'death-new order' established by the "Fallen Mother Goddess", It's Edwards and Benjamin, it's the old...Emperor Roselle who protected them from being completely polluted...Although it's hard to get rid of the 'Fallen Goddess', that's all. "

When Abner spoke, the two of them had already arrived near the five people and many strange creatures who were worshiping the God's Shroud, and the latter straightened up at the same time, and the whole primeval forest seemed to come alive at once. The roads go to different directions in the virgin forest.

Abner pulled Bernadette and followed Edwards until he arrived at a small wooden house 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 am I here again?" alive?

"Could it be that I, like Green and the others, have long 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 in front of him. Edwards watched them warily for a few seconds, opened his mouth, and said in a low voice:

"your 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...but just now, I thought of everything, and realized that it might not be that simple." Edwards smiled wryly, and looked at Bell Abner, in Nadai'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." After Abner answered briefly, he continued, "As the emperor's most loyal knight, you should be able to get in touch with him now, 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 exchanged glances, and then quietly trailed behind Edwards, walking towards the peak of the island among the huge dark green trees and dark sharp bushes.

That's four or five points

In the clock's time, the trees in front of him 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 it is also covered with those dark green and almost black giant trees, so that when viewed from a distance, it is almost integrated with the forest, and it is indistinguishable 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 is meant by "taking the mountain as a mausoleum".

Therefore, 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 if the mausoleum itself has affected the outside world, or Edwards has cleaned it up. Its surface has not grown a single weed, nor has it covered 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 recognized that they either came from the "Civil Code" formulated and promulgated by her father, or belonged to the new society created by him. Fads, or simply blueprints for 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, we have arrived at His Majesty's mausoleum, and we can have an audience.

"However, Your Majesty must summon Her Highness the Princess first, so you stay here for the time being."

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, and said dissatisfiedly: "I said, I have arrived at His Majesty's mausoleum, and I can have an audience with him." After a pause, he added: "Don't keep Your Majesty waiting."

For some reason, no matter how he looked at this young man, he felt instinctively disliked... Abner then picked up the staff, saluted, and smiled, "Thank you for leading the way."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Bernadette through a heavy stone door easily and entered the interior of the "Dark Emperor" mausoleum.
