Chapter 288: Seal

Emma has always lived in the Temple of the Apocalypse, and she has no idea what is going on outside, and she has always thought that she is just an orphan, but at this moment, the words of the high priest made her vaguely find the key to solve the mystery of her background, but before she could ask, the high priest had already preemptively spoke: "Don't ask me why, I don't know the relationship between you and him, but when he sent you here, you were only a few months old."

After the High Priest said this, his already gloomy figure became more and more blurred, Ryan knew that this was a manifestation of the High Priest's soul about to dissipate, and knew that time was pressing at the moment, so he hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on with that seal under the temple?"

"My time is running out...... "The high priest's voice also showed a hint of old age: "Everything about the seal has been recorded in my diary, and you can look through it at will." Also, please free the Templars who have fallen into untold suffering, please!"

"I'll do my best. Although Ryan did not give a positive answer, this sentence is not much different from a direct promise to the other party, and it also shows Ryan's own caution.

"Thank you!" the High Priest smiled with relief, his figure slowly turning white, slowly becoming transparent, and gradually disappearing before Lane's eyes, but the High Priest kept a smile on his face, because he knew that he was finally no longer an abominable revenant, which was the greatest comfort for a believer in God.

"That seal, don't touch it unless you have to!Remember, remember!" The High Priest's words still echoed in everyone's ears, but his soul had already disappeared, Emma covered her face and wept softly, but unfortunately she was now in a state of revenant, and could not shed even a single tear.

"This is not the time to grieve, Emma. Ryan whispered, "Let's move on." ”

"Okay!" Emma stopped sobbing, and habitually wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, hoping to wipe away her tears, but suddenly remembered that she was already a dead soul, and there was no way to shed tears at all, and her heart felt endless sadness again, only this time she did not cry again, but walked towards the high priest's room strongly.

The High Priest's room was much larger than Emma's, but the furnishings were still quite simple, except for the necessary utensils such as the stone bed, there was only a thick table, and Ryan tapped it lightly with his hand, and found that the table was not made of wood, but made of Mithril, which made his heart scorn the High Priest.

Soon, Emma dug out the High Priest's diary and handed it to Ryan, because there were words from the High Priest before, so Ryan opened it without hesitation and slowly checked it. According to the records of the High Priest, this temple of the Apocalypse itself is a miracle, I don't know how many years ago, and I don't know what the reason is, a powerful god suddenly sealed a powerful creature in this plane, in order to prevent this seal from being inadvertently opened by others, so the god built a magnificent palace here, and began to develop his own followers on this continent.

In this way, the Temple of the Apocalypse has been passed down from generation to generation, and the Templars who protect the temple have not only had the power to fight like a warrior because they have been blessed by the gods, but they can also release magic like a magician, but this kind of spell is not because they have learned magic themselves, but similar to the priests, it is the power given by their gods.

The Templars of the "Demon Martial Dual Cultivation" are powerful, but the god may have given his followers great power for some reasons, but also gave certain restrictions, as long as his followers leave the scope of the Temple of the Apocalypse, this power will be exhausted in an instant, and the Templars will quickly turn back into ordinary people, all they can have is their own strong body.

Therefore, the influence of the Templars is limited to the quiet jungle area of the past, and the Kyidrama Empire, which is based on the Apocalypse Temple, will send the best teenagers to the Apocalypse Temple for training every year, if these teenagers cannot become Templars in the next few years, they will become the most elite warriors in this empire, and once the Kyidrama Empire is in crisis, the Templars will also be dispatched to relieve it, even without the talent of the gods, these powerful warriors are still a nightmare for ordinary soldiers.

Maybe it's because the Templars are too powerful, maybe it's because the Kyidrama Empire doesn't expand at all, or maybe it's because it was the fief of King Alexander a long time ago, so the Kyidrama Empire, which is relatively weak on the entire continent, actually exists in peace, and countless empires stronger than it will also perish in successive wars, but this seemingly weak country became one of the seven countries on the continent later, and it survived until the army of the dead swept across the continent.

The catastrophe 200 years ago finally ran out of luck for the Kyidrama Empire, and after being besieged by tens of millions of undead warriors for a whole month, the demigod Lich Cons launched a powerful dark ritual, and the High Priest's diary is only recorded here, apparently after that ritual was launched, the High Priest quickly lost his life and became a skeleton revenant, as for what happened after that, the High Priest himself did not know.

However, the high priest doesn't know, but Ryan and they can still understand a thing or two, because the catastrophe 200 years ago changed the situation of the entire continent, making General Fernando, who was just a lord, rise in the north, and then he defeated the remnants of the undead legion, and actually unified the continent that was originally fighting endlessly, although it was only nominally unified, but the human race has also reached the most powerful point ever, driving away the orcs in the north, and the elves and dwarf allies in the south also took the initiative to retreat, such as the silent forest, the traditional territory of the elves, and now the human footprints have penetrated dozens of kilometers, but there is no trace of the elves at all, and the dwarves even retreated to the west of the Rock Fortress, basically ignoring the affairs on the continent.

Even elves and dwarves were the same, and it was easy to understand that the annihilated Templars slowly faded out of sight, and then the silent jungle turned into a cursed swamp, where countless spiders, wyverns and other terrifying creatures lived, and even a mighty hydra, whose deeds were now almost unknown to anyone.

Ryan quickly opened the entire diary, and had a rough understanding of the history of the Temple of the Apocalypse, but when he turned to the last few pages of the diary, he was surprised to see several incomprehensible descriptions. The descriptions were written in rather sloppy handwriting, perhaps in a hurry, perhaps at the same time as the Undead Legion launched that dark ritual attack on the Temple of the Apocalypse.

The High Priest guessed quite vaguely in his diary the reason why the Undead Legion tirelessly attacked the Temple of the Apocalypse, he felt that it seemed to have something to do with the seal under the temple, in addition, the High Priest also vaguely mentioned the powerful creature, he thought that maybe this was not a powerful creature sealed as recorded in the books in the temple, but there was another mystery, but the High Priest did not have any means to prove his guess, he couldn't force open the seal to see what was inside, right?

Ryan briefly told the others what he had recorded in his diary, and then began to ask for their opinions. Since everyone is now in the High Priest's room, and according to the method left by the High Priest in the diary, it can be detected that the seal deep underground is still intact, it seems that even the powerful dark ritual 200 years ago did not interfere with the normal operation of the seal, or it is really made by the gods, so I don't care about the attack of the demigod lich.

After a brief exchange with the High Priest, after reading the diary left by the High Priest, and after checking that the seal was intact with secret methods, both Emma and Seres gave up the idea of going deep into the crypt to continue the inspection, and instead followed Faraz's advice to return to Cassano.

Ryan and his entourage of seven people unanimously passed the resolution to return to Cassano, although Ryan had previously agreed to the High Priest's request to purify this place, but the Temple of Apocalypse was so huge, and it was impossible for thousands of Templars to be completely cleared in one day, so Ryan decided to return to Cassano first, and then send a group of excellent warriors here every month for trials, and at the same time, he would also carry some of the materials here back to Cassano.

Returning the same way back to the entrance gate of the temple, Ryan spent a full three hours here arranging a defensive magic array before reassuring with confidence. The sky was already full of stars outside, and Adela and they had been waiting anxiously for a long time, if they hadn't seen Ryan's power, they might have sent someone to forcibly dive under the water to check.

Ryan let Emma's soul hide in a magic item he made improvise, and then took Faras and them back to the camp, the secret in the palace at the bottom of the lake, Ryan didn't plan to let too many people know for the time being, and in his plan, at most, he would share this secret with Vivien and a few other henchmen.

This time, Ryan and the others went to the Cursed Swamp to hunt the Hydra, not only harvested a Hydra corpse, giving Cassano's elite troops a chance to fight, but also learned a lot of secrets of the Temple of the Apocalypse in the past, and also obtained a large number of precious materials to arm Cassano, which can be regarded as a full return.
