Chapter 287: Black Rock Curse Cellar
Annan finally understood where Jacob's name of "Cave Opener" came from-
Generally speaking, ritual masters determine their status and strength based on the degree of occult knowledge they have mastered.
Because when it comes to mystical knowledge above the "historical" level, almost any ritual can have a strong effect.
For example, revealing the secrets of others out of thin air, making the sky as dark as the night sky, and starting a war in a disputed area...... There is also Annan's heterogeneous ability "Winter Breath" obtained through rituals, which is also a "historical" level of mysterious knowledge.
Even just speaking out about the secrets of the "Otherworld" is enough to destroy mortal sanity, and it can be used to construct nightmares, and it can also invade the nightmares of others.
And the secret of creation is even more heavy. Just by saying it, its power is enough to obliterate the degenerate who have become demons. If you make full use of it in the ritual, I am afraid that you will be able to confront the powerhouses of the Truth Rank head-on.
The mystical knowledge that Jacob has in his hands is not at the level of "history" at most. It's just general knowledge about "truth" and "customs...... It's probably the level of Daddy Vasily.
However, by combining and nesting these not heavy secrets, a secret equivalent to at least the level of "history" is constructed......
…… Is Ning a casual player?
Annan could be sure that he had never seen this ritual used by Jacob from anywhere else.
If this ritual becomes more common, many enchantments will become completely meaningless. To put it a little alarmist...... Even when the door is closed, there is no way to protect the security, and the doors and windows cannot give people a sense of security. Whether it's a burglar, a robber, or a killer, the crime becomes much simpler.
Because this ritual is a ritual of creating a "door" on the "wall" and opening it. However, the weight of the "occult knowledge" required for this ritual is not large, which means that a slightly more skilled ritual master can use this ritual......
"You must not pass on this ritual."
Annan said solemnly: "Do you understand? ”
"I'm sure I wouldn't do that."
Jacob was stunned for a moment, and then he said with great certainty: "If I could do this, then I would have gone to the United Kingdom or underground, and found a place to raise a gang of thieves or killers or something." With my abilities, most defenses can't stop me.
"Mass teleportation, object teleportation, wall penetration, disarming and piercing enchantments...... But I won't do that, Your Majesty. Because I know what happens if my knowledge spreads. ”
He said with a smile, pointing to his temple: "This is 'toxic knowledge'.
"Poison is the key, and it can open all locks. Poisonous knowledge will run through every joint of the country and society like poison through the human body. It kills innocents like poison kills flesh and blood.
"I'm certainly not a good thing, though...... I'm a thief, I'm a spy, I'm a liar. But I'm at least not a demon who likes to watch the world burn. I'm more or less a human being. ”
"So, let's wish you to be a good person."
Annan smiled and stretched out his hand generously: "Maybe you will become a great man in the future." ”
Hearing Annan's words, Jacob was also stunned.
The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he solemnly stretched out his hands to hold Annan's hand, and said seriously: "Then ...... I lend you good words. ”
He was careful not to let his wounds touch Annan's hand. It shouldn't be because I was worried about hurting myself, but because I didn't want the blood to stain Annan's hands.
Annan's white, slender right hand seemed to glisten against Jacob's large, rough, scarred hand and in the sunlight.
It's better to say...... At this moment, Annan's whole person seemed to be glowing.
After leaving the barrier, the glowing powder that filled the area was also left behind.
It was half a ball of light like an upside-down bowl.
After they left the barrier through the "door" opened in Jacob's hole, the barrier was still in place.
That's fine—the barrier cut off sound and light, and they won't know that Count Yuri is dead. At least that won't startle you.
As for the final earl ball, Annan asked Zorgen to cut a part of it and pack it away. The rest of the meat, including the "other" Count Yuri...... was incinerated by the friendship of the four dark carvings.
They will not allow the remnants of Count Yuri to continue to exist in this world.
After all, it's not impossible to resurrect corpses with spells. But without a corpse, with their level of knowledge and intelligence, it is impossible to resurrect a person.
So-called...... Chop the grass and eradicate the roots.
Through Zoya's prophetic spells, as well as information provided by Jacob, they quickly found the location of the Vault.
It's not that far from the location of this barrier, less than five kilometers. The crowd walked for a while and came there...... Oddly enough, on the way they did not meet other armed forces.
This shows that Count Yuri is not prepared for any follow-up except himself. And around the perimeter of the curse cellar, there were not even guards.
"Because it doesn't make sense."
That's what Jacob said.
Soon, Annan and they knew the meaning of this sentence -
As they approached the Curse Cellar, they felt a strong sense of discomfort.
The heart is constantly fluttering, as if it were an irregular heartbeat. His brain swelled and his breathing became rapid.
“…… There's no radiation here, right? ”
The stray child said worriedly, "You won't be bound by this curse that infects me, will you?" ”
"That shouldn't be. Otherwise, the Earl would have started using spells long ago. They won't turn on the device until they see us......"
As they approached the Spell Cellar, they heard a distinct humming sound.
The [Spell Cellar] is not visible from the outside.
Its entrance is a vertical passage that is dug down from the peak of a mountain like an elevator shaft. There were three enchantments at the door, but they were all easily "worn" by Jacob.
From the inside, there is a spiral staircase roughly diamond-shaped, which keeps going down. And the further down you go, the warmer and warmer you feel...... A strange pumping sound gradually came to my ears, and my heart beat rhythmically with that sound.
The surrounding black walls do not appear to be masonry...... It's like a blood vessel.
"Woo......"
Russell, who was huddled in Annan's arms, whimpered uneasily, his body stiffened, and he didn't dare to move.
When she was bombed by Count Yuri before, she had no fear at all, and she didn't even scream...... But now that she was close to the Curse Cellar, she began to tremble. It seemed to be screaming mournfully, begging Annan not to continue diving.
Russell's entire dog stiffened into one—frightened. She shivered incessantly, like a mobile phone stuffed in her arms and turned into a vibrating phone, buzzing and shaking Annan's chest.
After the depth of the dive of Annan's party exceeded a critical value.
The world before him suddenly became distorted.
It's like the frame rate is too high and the picture is torn—
Fragments of broken history appeared before his eyes. It seemed like someone was doing something in a dimly lit room, like they were pointing at something on a map, and it looked like they were carving something......
But there was no sound in those images, and they were fleeting, almost only one or two frames. Annan didn't see it clearly at all, only a vague impression remained.
"Further down ......"
Jacob's voice became distorted: "It's about to enter the Curse Cellar!"
"Attention—grab the hands of those around you—"
His voice was tinged with strange mechanical sounds.
And the "broken picture" in front of him began to increase significantly, and Annan also heard the whispering of rustling in his ears. But he still couldn't hear what he was talking about......
I can only check the recording and broadcast it later, Annan thought to himself.
The next moment, Annan suddenly felt a strong dizziness -
His almost non-existent system rarely reveals a line of bright red prompts:
[-Warning, you are entering the Black Rock Crypt]
