As soon as lunchtime was over, the Trojan Horse arrived at the first destination of the voyage, the abandoned royal capital of Mandalia.

This waterfront ruin was once the capital of the Tromur Warlock Empire, the most prosperous city in the entire Garden Star a thousand years ago. Now it is shrouded in a gray haze day and night, and even the sea breeze cannot blow it away, and it is clear that there is a force of nature at work.

The "Trojan Horse" is suspended above the ruins, and Yin Jiantong Guò observes it through the telescope, and occasionally some high-rise buildings break through the smog and are exposed to the sun.

The buildings are all conical towers, like the towers of the mages in fantasy novels, the most magnificent of which is located in the middle of the ruins, the spire of which has been broken, and the broken concrete reflects the glow of Aomori Mori, and the spiral corridor in the tower is faintly visible through the telescope.

It's just that the pedestal is so tall and magnificent, Yin Jian can't imagine how magnificent this tower was in its heyday, maybe it really pierced into the sky like the mythical "Tower of Babel".

Yin Jian was surprised that the Trojan Horse slowly landed on the plain near the ruins, and the ship's radar scans showed that there were no signs of life in the ruins.

This ancient city was once destroyed by the Zerg, but even if it was bombed by a nuclear bomb, it should be restored after a thousand years, but there is not even a single weed in the ruins of Mandalia, and there is no trace of strong creatures such as mice or cockroaches, and there must be a huge crisis lurking behind this strange phenomenon, no wonder Bartman, the profiteer, himself refused to explore the ruins.

Out of prudence, Yin Jian led the three generals off the spaceship to personally explore this lifeless abandoned royal capital.

Approaching the haze that shrouded the ruins, Yin Jian suddenly felt a cold aura rushing towards his face, this is the yin and evil aura that many resentments have gathered together to evolve, there must be ghosts and ghosts in such an environment, he hurriedly reminded the three generals to be more careful.

With a wave of his hand, a Jiamugang wind blew away the haze, and the outline of the royal capital Mandalia appeared in front of his eyes. Most of the obsidian walls have collapsed, and the city gates have long been destroyed by the Zerg, weathering into a pile of rust after thousands of years.

Yin Jian and the four of them walked into the city gate and explored along the main street that ran through the ruins, and there was a ruined scene as far as the eye could see.

Smoke and fire can be seen everywhere on the streets and the half-collapsed walls on both sides, as well as large brown stains, the scars and blood of the war still remain to this day.

A pile of black stones blocked the street.

Yin Jian walked closer and took a closer look, and now it was a huge stone statue that had lost its head and arms, and there were vague patterns on its body, faintly emitting spiritual energy fluctuations.

These colossias are the remains of ancient alchemy beasts, and the spiritual runes that Tromur warlocks had carved on their bodies have now been reduced by the erosion of time.

Runes are also a kind of magic circle, Yin Jian released the "Heluo Heavenly Machine" to peel off the broken runes from the colossus, and after a little deduction, he learned that the colossus was once the patron saint of the royal capital, and was finally destroyed in the battle with the Zerg......

From the destruction of this colossal statue, it is not difficult for Yin Jian to imagine how tragic the battle was that day.

When he was out of his mind, a yin wind blew in his face, and Yin Jian couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly felt an alarm.

The fog gathered from all directions, as if manipulated by some mysterious force, and a little green light appeared in the mist, and a black figure loomed over.

"Master beware, that's a ghost," General Ju reminded in a deep voice.

The growth of plants and trees is inseparable from photosynthesis, and the cultivation of essence does not change nature, loves yang energy, hates obscure things, and is particularly sensitive to ghosts and the like.

Yin Jian waved his hand and released the Great Yan Divine Technique to scan the ghosts in the dense fog, and now most of them are "Tromur ghosts", and some are the undead of the Zerg and beasts.

Ghosts are the most yin body, the most afraid of yang, ordinary ghosts can only appear in the middle of the night, during the day lurking in dark caves, valleys or dense forests, as soon as the sun is seen, it will dissipate.

However, when the ghost continues to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon (the free spirit child in the universe, that is, the "ether"), after years of cultivation and evolution into a ghost, it can convert its own spiritual energy into yin qi and release it, turning into a thick and cold haze to obscure the sun.

This is the cultivation method of ghost cultivation in the cultivation world, and the ghosts of the civilized world also have the same habits.

Ghosts have no physical body, and they are not afraid of physical damage such as swords and guns, but Yin Jian is not afraid of them, unless they cultivate to the realm of ghosts and immortals, the ghost cultivators will not be able to overcome the weakness of photophobia, and they can easily be wiped out with targeted Dao techniques.

Yin Jian was puzzled that these ghosts only operated in the ruins, and if they hadn't broken into the royal capital by themselves, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to harass them. This kind of ghost with a strong sense of "territory" is also called "earthbound spirit", usually the deceased has strong feelings or resentment towards a certain place to form a "groundbound spirit", but this street full of "earthbound spirits" is too rare.

Could it be that the memory of these Tromurs is forever stuck in the moment before death, and when they are fighting to defend their homeland, they turn into ghosts after death and still refuse to leave the royal capital for half a step?

If the above speculation is true, Yin Jian can't help but sigh with emotion - these Tromules failed to hold the royal capital during their lifetime, but they completed this mission after their deaths.

"Earth Bound Spirits" are all over the streets and alleys of the abandoned king of Mandalia, including the Zerg, any creature that trespasses will be killed by them, and over time, the nearby creatures dare not approach this "ghost town" again, and even the flowers and trees have been cut off from life due to the perennial Yin Qi infection, no wonder the ship's radar can't scan any life signals.

While Yin Jian was pondering, the group of ghosts had already besieged them silently.

The three generals of Jucao Liu lined up the "Pin" formation to protect him in the center, the three Hao wrists shook together, and the Yuanchen Treasure Bead released the magic power of Gengjin Youji, and the golden light shone everywhere like rolling soup and pouring snow, and the ghosts dissipated.

After a while, the ghosts from other directions gradually became scarce, and only due north still had a large number of ghosts floating one after another.

Seeing this, Yin Jian's heart moved, and he pointed to the north and said, "Come with me over there and have a look." As he spoke, he summoned the Wind Moon Mirror from the treasure bag. The fingers brushed over the mirror, injecting a stream of spiritual energy, and the green brilliance sprayed out from the mirror, like a searchlight shooting straight towards the north of the royal capital.

Since the "Wind Moon Mirror" has been tempered by thunder and robbery in the South Pole, it has been upgraded to a six-grade magic weapon, with its own six-grade "Soul Suppression**" analysis array, the power of expelling the undead is far better than the Yuanchen Orb, and where the blue light swept through, not only the ghost was wiped out on the spot, but even the heavy evil haze was swept away.

Yin Jian held the Fengyue Mirror to open the way, stepped on the Jiamu Gangfeng and flew along the street towards the north of the royal capital, and the three generals also followed closely with each other, and came to the end of the street in a short time.

Facing is a bare stone mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain there is a winding path with bluestone steps, like a green python winding around the mountain.

At the foot of the hill stands a half-ruined archway, a plaque that has been fortunately preserved, with a faint line of Tromol text on it.

Before Yin Jian came, he had obtained a comparative dictionary of Tromul and the lingua franca of the Blue Star Alliance from Bartman, which was written by the old man himself, and it was precisely because he was proficient in the two languages that he would frequently come to the immigration base to do business.

Calling up the dictionary to decipher the blurred words on the plaque, Yin Jian had a relieved smile on his face after a moment.

"No wonder there are a lot of ghosts here, it turned out to be the location of the royal capital cemetery." With that, he beckoned the three generals to walk towards the stone mountain, "It's a rare trip, let's take a look at the burial customs of the Tromur people, and if you're lucky, you can even pick up valuable relics." ”

General Ju and General Liu couldn't help laughing, and a smile appeared on General Cao's cold face, and he said in a low voice: "Wealth fan"

Yin Jian turned his head and glared at her, "Xiaocao, what are you talking nonsense, this Shaoxia is engaged in archaeological research, how can such a sacred work become so vulgar in your mouth"

"Archaeological research, by the way, is it upside down......" General Liu complained faintly.

Yin Jian was speechless for a moment, so angry that he no longer paid attention to them, but there was a coquettish smile like a silver bell behind him.

The Tromur cemetery was built on a hill, and a two-foot-square cave was dug around the mountain to serve as a burial chamber, about half a meter deep, like a Buddhist shrine, with a small altar on which a porcelain vase reinforced with runes resembled a container for ashes.

Yin Jian learned from Uncle Gang that the Tromur people did not have a tradition of sacrificing their ancestors, and knew that this porcelain vase contained not ashes, but the souls of the dead.

"This is called a burial, which is a unique funeral ceremony for the Tromur people, where the family of the deceased stores their souls in a 'soul bottle' and places them in this cemetery with a 'Great Gathering Array', which can ensure the immortality of the soul and a legacy left by the deceased for future generations."

"Why do you say legacy?" General Ju asked curiously.

Yin Jian smiled slightly, and picked up a soul bottle more than half a foot long from the tomb, the tin bottle cap was engraved with a strange pattern, this is the alchemy rune of the Tromur people, and from the perspective of a cultivator, it is a special magic circle.

General Ju took the soul bottle from his hand and weighed it, and his hands were a little heavy.

At this time, Yin Jian handed another soul bottle with the same appearance and size, the only difference was that the cap of the bottle was chiseled.

General Ju held a soul bottle in one hand, which was lighter than the bottle that was now opened. She was afraid that it was her own delusion, so she asked General Liu and General Cao to weigh it, and the sisters also said that the bottle was relatively light

"There is indeed a slight difference in the weight of the two bottles, and that is the weight of the soul." Yin Jian then said to them, "Tromur people are warlocks by nature, and they are especially good at activating objects and transforming them into so-called alchemy beasts, and it takes a lot of money and resources to create an alchemy beast, so whether a Tromur warlock is rich or not often depends on how many alchemy beasts he has, and how high the grade of these alchemy beasts is, and the intelligence or combat power of alchemy beasts is usually directly proportional to the grade. ”

"The reason why the alchemy beast has a certain amount of intelligence is that the body is sealed with a machine spirit, which is very similar to a special magic weapon called 丨Guan Beast in the cultivation world, you all know that the instrument spirit is a necessary material for refining magic weapons, and not all people's souls can be used as instrument spirits, you must be a cultivator or a warlock, there is no cultivator on this planet, so where does the alchemy beast's instrument spirit come from?"

Speaking of this, Yin Jian pointed to the cemetery full of soul bottles.
