The ruins of St. Renia – underground waterways

After the four detachments exploring the sewers entered the stone gate, a dark and long passage appeared in front of them, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, there was finally a bright exit ahead.

After everyone walked quickly to the exit, Nebula was surprised to see that whether it was Nebula Team D and Red Lotus Team exploring the first passage, Nebula Team B and Michelle exploring the second passage, or Nebula Team A and Demon King Raid Team exploring the fourth passage, all gathered together in this spacious central passage!

The only remaining members of the Dharma God Team and the Nebula Team C at the fork in the sewer road outside were the rest of the Nebula Squad, after all, the passage that Nebula entered could only be entered by adventurers below level 30.

In short, Nebula had already informed Koo of the situation on his side through spiritual contact with Koo, and presumably Koo would definitely find a way to bring his companions here, as well as Komiya, Lin Zhiling, and Brad.

After the exploration team of more than 30 people gathered, the originally spacious central passage became slightly narrower.

Nebula first confirmed the items collected with the various detachments, the first detachment collected Zionly III's pants, the second detachment collected Zionel III boots, the third detachment got the Zionel III crown themselves, and the fourth detachment got the Zionel III shirt.

After confirming that the quest items had been collected, Nebula led the group to walk briskly towards the depths of the passage.

Although the relics of Zion Lev III have been collected, it is not clear where his bones are.

In response, Nebula had no choice but to move on, and as he went, he searched for the bones of Zion Lev III.

It didn't take long for Xingyun and the others to come to a spacious and atmospheric stone gate in the deepest part of the passage, as if there was a gorgeous hall inside the stone gate.

However, this stone gate was sealed by three light blue chains, the three iron chains were in the shape of rice, sealing the entire gate, and at the intersection of the iron chains, a terrifying skull also appeared, and a trembling ghost howl came from the skull at the intersection of the iron chains from time to time.

At this time, Claire, who was carefully observing, found a skeleton at the foot of a dilapidated stone pillar attached to the stone gate, and the skeleton held the ruby scepter symbolizing royal power in his right hand........

Is this the skeleton of Zion Lev III!?

Thinking of this possibility, Nebula took out the pants, blouse, boots, and crown of Zion Lev III that everyone had given him for safekeeping.

Just as Nebula was about to put on the corpse, the ruby scepter in the corpse's right hand suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling light, and the rubies inlaid on the four relics of Zionlie also emitted a dazzling red light one after another.

The shattered bones at the foot of the stone pillar slowly floated under the red light, and quickly condensed together, forming a complete skeleton.

Immediately afterward, the four relics of Zionlie were automatically absorbed to the skeleton, pants, shirts, boots, and crowns, as if attracted by a powerful force........

After the bones of Zion Lev III were dressed with these four relics, the bones of Zion Lev III suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, and Nebula and the others had to close their eyes temporarily.

When he opened his eyes again, Xingyun was very surprised to find that a white-haired old man wearing a red luxurious shirt, red gold silk trousers, red gold-rimmed velvet boots, and a gold-rimmed crown appeared in front of him!!

Could it be that he is Zion Lev III!?

However, this white-haired old man appeared in the form of a translucent body, which is probably the soul of Zion Lev III!!

After seeing Nebula and his party, Zion Levy III was very grateful and said to Nebula and the others: "Brave adventurers, you can fulfill my last request before I die, and I, Zion Lev III, would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you!" ”

After saying that, Zion Lev III bowed deeply to Nebula and the others to express his heartfelt gratitude.

Assers, who was a little confused, asked Zion Lev III, "The ........ Aren't you already dead? How can it still appear to us in the form of a soul!? ”

"Before I die, I injected a portion of my soul fragments into the items I possessed, and kept them in a safe place, so that as long as they can be gathered together, I can use the power of the scepter to condense and amplify my soul fragments, temporarily returning to a full soul state!" Zion Lev III explained to Nebula and others.

At this time, Nebula took two steps forward, came to Zion Lev III, and asked him, "Dear King Zion Lev III, we are likely to encounter Erigus next, can you tell us more about Erigus?" ”

"Erigus!? Alas........ It's all my fault!! But now, it's useless to say anything, if you're interested in your previous stories, why don't you listen to me..........." Zion Lev III lamented, stroked his beard, and shook his head to Nebula in distress.

Hundreds of years ago – St. Renia

At that time, the Empire of St. Rinya was in its prime, not only with a splendid civilization, but also with a rich life among its subjects because of the strength of the empire and the meritocracy of the king.

The powerful Empire of St. Rynia once ruled the entire Victorian continent, and the center of its political power was the city of St. Rynia in the northern plateau of the Warrior Tribe.

The northern plateau where the city of St. Rhynia is located has an arid climate, although the scorching sun is not strong, it is also hot and dry, the interior of the castle is as complex as a labyrinth, and the throne is even more majestic, making the royal power seem more inviolable.

The Spear of Longcinus, a well-known protector of the country in the city of St. Rhinea, has the divine power to drive away evil spirits, and has guarded the peace and prosperity of St. Rynia since ancient times, and is a symbol of holiness and strength.

The body of the spear of Longcinus is red and white and extends to the two tips with twisted threads, and its height of up to three meters shows its righteous and awe-inspiring majesty, ordinary people do not even have a way to pick up this gun when they first touch it, only those with wisdom are qualified to hold this holy spear.

There are four spears of Longcinus, and it takes all of them to gather their divine powers........

Wide castles, towering walls, overlapping traps....... The city of St. Rhinia was intimidating to outlaws who had the idea of invading, and with the protection of the powerful holy weapon "Spear of Longcinus", the city of St. Rhinia at that time could be described as indestructible and stable.........

And King Zion Le III was virtuous and benevolent, and he opened up a wide range of views in governing the country, creating an unprecedented prosperous era, and was deeply loved by the people.........

No one expected that a terrible catastrophe was approaching the prosperous Saint Rynia Empire step by step........

Also known as the "ruby", Rubian is a beautiful gemstone that glows red and has the power to deceive people.

It is said that Rubian is an ominous treasure that often brings misfortune to its owner.

However, there is another, more well-known legend for Rubian........

The mystical magic of Rubian can make people immortal and stay young forever!

One day, Zion Lev III got this gem, and the dragon was happy. Zion Le III, who had obtained Rubion, began to indulge in his immortal powers, so Zion Levle III hid Rubion deep in the underground labyrinth of the city of St. Rynia to worship, and went to Rubion every once in a while to pray devoutly, so as to absorb the magic of eternal youth in the legend.

The news that the king had received Rubian spread throughout the Victorian continent, and many people were amazed by the preciousness of the gem, and some thieves also attracted the admiration of some thieves.

The thieves' disturbance made Zion Lev III fearful that Rubien would be stolen and that he would not be able to gain the power of immortality.

Therefore, the king ordered the guards of the underground labyrinth to be strengthened, and even spared no expense in digging waterways, rebuilding secret passages, and setting up numerous mechanisms so that the hateful thieves could be buried here.

Even though the labyrinth of waterways ensured Rubian's safety, Zion Lev III still lived a life of trepidation, going to Rubian to pray more and more often, and sometimes even letting politics go unchecked, becoming more and more obsessed with Rubian's power.

Such a move by the king caused the displeasure of many ministers and members of the royal family, who expressed their opinions and persuaded the king with kind words.

However, Zion Lev III, who had been bewitched by the gem, was very disgusted with them, and even thought that even the ministers and members of the royal family wanted to attack Rubian's idea.

Later, Zion Lev III simply moved his life to the waterway labyrinth, and became more and more obsessed with Rubian, as if his soul had been hooked away.........

The king's incompetence, rebellion, and coup d'état were unstoppable, and the whole country was thrown into chaos, and the royal nobles and ministers were opposed to the king's approach, and even believed that Zion Lev III was no longer qualified to be the king of a country.

Confused and fascinated, Zion Lev III actually thought that the people of the whole country wanted to rob him of Rubian, and made the most stupid choice driven by anxiety and panic........

I don't know where Zion Lev III heard about the demonic magic, and he summoned the demon Erigus through the mysterious magic of Rubian!

Although Zionle III used the power of Erigus to suppress the coup d'état, to Zion's surprise, this demon did not listen to his orders! After that, he brought a large army of undead and began to invade the country in a raging manner!

Later, Erigus also sealed the "Spear of Longcinus", a sacred weapon for the protector of the country, and the kingdom of St. Renya, which had lost its holy power, gradually fell, and the gorgeous castle was in ruins, and the strong walls collapsed and broken, and gradually turned into ruins........

Zion Lev III died tragically in the panic of fleeing on the deadly mechanism of the waterway labyrinth, thinking that the waterway labyrinth was a place where thieves would die without their bodies, but they did not expect that it was also a place to bury themselves........

(Well~~~~ Saint Renia's past should be like this, thank you almighty adventure bar friend, thank you 766 plot team for the information!!) It's a pity that 766 has been closed....... ）
