Chapter 655 Doubts and Structure of the Abyss Ecological Community in the Mortal Era

  A dark sun has appeared in the center of the city, and the entire city will follow this dark sun and enter an alien space.

 Locke looked up at the alien space and saw that it was a completely dark world. There seemed to be tentacles as huge as stars moving in the darkness.

 An angel descended from the sky. After she fell, the sacred golden angel disappeared. Witch Charlie walked out from among the angels. She glanced at Locke. "Huh? Locke, what are you doing? Let's leave quickly."

   "This city is about to fall into that strange space."

Locke was about to leave, but he just stood there and looked at the mausoleum of the princess's dormitory, showing a hint of thought. "Wait a minute, senior sister. Actually, I have always had a question."

  Witch Charlie was stunned for a moment. "Question? Do you have any new discoveries? But it's too late. The city is about to fall into that dangerous space. The two dark wizards have already used the method of summoning the ferrymen of the underworld to leave."

  "If we don't leave, we will probably fall into that space along with the city."

  Locke looked at the statue of the princess in the tomb and frowned.

 If I remember correctly, this dormitory is the center of the city. It is the resting place of Princess Loom and the place where her echoes are stored.

Locke walked to the middle of the bedroom, where the princess's coffin was placed. It was a coffin as tall as a person.

 Locke put his palm on the coffin, and suddenly it was the coffin of the second-ring witchcraft. Even after 70,000 years of historical changes, it still retains its basic functions because it has been in this well-preserved tomb.

 It’s just not as good as before.

 But even so, unless it is opened violently, there is absolutely no possibility for Locke to open it.

Locke tried to put it into the astral ring, but who knew that the coffin was connected to the foundation of the city and could not be taken away at all.

 The foundations of this mausoleum city are probably connected together.

Witch Charlie looked at Locke and said, "Junior brother, what's going on?"

Locke said, "I think something is wrong. The logic doesn't make sense."

Witch Charlie glanced at Locke's left wrist. Because he was in a very dangerous situation before, Locke had already taken off the Angel's Tears bracelet from his wrist.

 Witch Charlie looked back at the black sun in the city and gritted her teeth. "Although this is the first time you and I have met, I feel like an old friend at first sight. I believe all of His Majesty the Throne's judgments about you, so from the beginning, I am sure of your abilities."

      Okay. I believe in you."

"As an archaeologist, you need to get to the bottom of any doubt you find on site. Too many archaeologists, because they don't get to the bottom of it, completely get the wrong research direction and waste most of their lives in the wrong research direction."

 Witch Charlie took out a magic key from her astral ring. This magic key was about the size of a broom.

   "This is Hector's Key, a second-ring magic weapon that can only be used three times, but it can open all second-ring and lower-level magic locks in the world. There is still one chance left. ."

 "I'll let you use it."

 "Only by using this magic weapon, it's too late."

 Locke said: "Sister?"

Witch Charlie said: "You have super intuition, so I have to trust your intuition. The most important thing is what your archaeological grimoire tells you - my grimoire says: The first point of archeology is to learn to ask questions and not let go of any doubts." They misjudged a civilized race, but later found out that they were just a group of giant slaves of that race. "

"There are also archaeologists who did not conduct a detailed stratigraphic investigation after discovering the wizard ruins. As a result, they did not find another wizard ruins under the wizard ruins, and thus mistakenly attributed the ruins to a wrong era."

"If we go in the wrong direction, it is likely that our archaeological research in the next fifty years will go astray. Once this happens, our archeology will be useless." Witch Charlie said vigilantly: "Junior brother, as your elder, I want to tell you that archeology is different from botany and potions. Because of the non-repeatability of excavation and the long verification period of archeology, the direction of archeology must be determined carefully."

   "In other disciplines, at most a few years are wasted, and it will soon be discovered that the research direction is wrong."

  "But for archaeological research, once the direction is wrong at the beginning, it will lead to the wrong research direction for 30 to 50 years. Especially since this ruins are about to disappear, the large article we have written on the ruins investigation is even more important."

"I don't want our negligence to lead to a certain problem that has been discovered, but because we didn't go into it, it misled us and all the wizards involved in the future."

 Witch Charlie used the key and placed it on the coffin, and suddenly the sound of some light magic locks being unlocked came from the coffin.

 "Okay. It's opened. You don't need to give me money. It's a joint excavation after all."

 Locke said to him: "Sister, thank you for your trust in me."

 I didn't expect it. I just expressed my doubts. I didn't expect that Witch Charlie would directly use the last opportunity to use the second-ring magic weapon to verify this idea for herself.

 Perhaps it is because of her rigor as an archaeologist.

Locke pushed open the coffin and looked inside, and was stunned for a moment.

 It is empty.

 Locke immediately suspected that this was a fake tomb. "Is this a fake tomb?" Witch Charlie shook her head slightly. "The Age of Stars is a long period of time, and there are many magic kingdoms."

 "The customs and systems may be completely different."

 "But...according to the remains of the Star Age that have been excavated so far, this should be the real main tomb chamber. Look at the dehydrated and carbonized magic plant in front of the coffin. That is a cornflower wreath."

 "It is used to protect the main coffin."

"This kind of magic plant is extremely rare. In the Age of Stars, the Magic Kingdom's ability to mobilize resources was not as good as the major wizarding colleges now, so logically speaking, this is a real coffin."

"And, you see... there are traces of reverberating magic in it. This shows that the reverberation that erupted from the center of the city... came from here."

Locke looked serious. "If this is the real coffin of the Loom Princess, then why is it an empty coffin?"

   "Where is the princess?"

   "Where is the princess's echo?"

  "Will the historical landmark curse consume the princess's echo?"

Witch Charlie frowned and hesitated to speak. "Based on the Patriarch's attitude towards the princess, it is unlikely that it will be at the expense of completely consuming her echo. But the echo of a ring wizard cannot exist for so many years in the first place, so it must have undergone special treatment, so it can last for 70,000 years." "Junior Brother? What are you doing?"

Locke jumped directly into the coffin and frowned. He squatted down and stroked the surface of the coffin with his fingers. "Perhaps, there has never been an echo here. There may be something wrong with this echo."

 Locke removed a piece of half-rotted magic cloth covering the coffin with his hand, and then his and Witch Charlie's pupils suddenly shrank.

 Because, a line of text was left under the cloth - "Ezra Clarkson, I have seen everything you did in this mausoleum - Maxwell Wizard left his name here!" 』

  Witch Charlie was immediately confused when she saw these two unfamiliar names. "Maxwell? Ezra Clarkson? Who are they? Isn't this the mausoleum of the Princess of the Loom? Why is it that in the princess's resting place, the princess is not seen, but two strange names and an inexplicable word appear."

  Locke said. : "Look, there's also a pig head pattern he painted."

 Following Witch Ekaterina, Witch Charlie, who had always had a serious temperament, also looked strange at the moment, because there was indeed a wizard on the coffin, who carved a laughing pig head pattern on the coffin.

 Don’t mention it, this pig head pattern is quite cute.

 Furthermore, looking at the traces, it doesn’t look like the magic technology of this era. It seems to be some years old.

 This is also an antique.

 It just doesn’t match the history of this tomb. It should be from two eras.

  Witch Charlie immediately checked the remaining items and their locations in the coffin, but found nothing more. "According to the clues we found along the way, second-level wizards cannot enter this city, only first-level wizards can enter."

 "But we joined forces with four major archeology professors to enter this city together, which is extremely dangerous and left many traces along the way. Could someone enter this tomb without anyone noticing and steal the princess?"

"That's not true."

Locke said: "The princess was probably not here from the beginning. Maxwell Wizard should have entered this tomb in another era, and he saw or obtained some secret, so he left a sentence here saying that he saw through Ezra Clarkson's trick."

"Ezra Clarkson is the wizard of the Tower of the Black Sun. Then That's right. My guess is correct. The delisting curse on King Otto is actually very weak, otherwise it would not be broken by the four of us, and his reputation has been known to us. "

"If we want to remove the delisting curse, we need to completely eliminate the four archaeological wizards. Otherwise, once we are allowed out, we will soon restore the missing piece of history from the Stars Era."

"To rectify the name of the unknown king and complete the missing past in the wizarding world."

 h "But this expulsion curse not only did not attack the four of us, but instead attacked the city."

 h "The expulsion curse is much more powerful than the expulsion curse we fought several times in the historical boundary monument space." Locke said.

  Witch Charlie swallowed. "You mean..."

 Locke said: "I suspect that there are two expungement curses in this tomb. One expulsion curse is aimed at King Otto, and the other is aimed at Princess Loom."

 "I finally know where the sense of violation lies. Let me ask you, we know King Otto, his surname, and his family. Then do we know Princess Loom's surname and family?"

Witch Charlie was stunned and shook her head. "But we are clearly using the echo of the princess. We know so many names in the princess's echo, but only her name is missing!"

Locke nodded: "And what about the princess's achievements? What did the princess do? In the historical echo, the princess is just an accessory of King Otto. The princess looks like an ordinary person. This is even more problematic."

"Can an ordinary person be the sponsor of our archeology wizard? Can he design for 70,000 years and defeat the Tower of the Black Sun after 70,000 years?"

"Then there is only one answer."

"The princess has also been cursed with expulsion!"

"And the curse of the Tower of the Black Sun on the princess is greater than the curse on King Otto."

Witch Charlie was driven crazy by Locke's inference.

  They were not here to hunt for treasure, but to do scientific research and exploration, so she fell directly into a state of brain death at this moment. "The curse of the Tower of the Black Sun on the princess is greater than the curse on King Otto? In the inscriptions left by the princess in various places, she said that the Tower of the Black Sun despised her!" Locke said: "The human representative of the Tower of the Black Sun, Ezra Clarkson, has entered this mausoleum and done something here. We are here Everything seen here has been modified by him. If the Tower of the Black Sun really despises him, why would Ezra Clarkson go to this mausoleum and work so hard to hide the princess's secret with King Otto's secret?" Witch Charlie shook her head and said, "If that's the case, why didn't the Grandmaster mention it?"

"Locke, everything you said is just speculation. There is no direct evidence to prove your point of view. Whether this so-called Maxwell wizard is called by this name or not is uncertain. Maybe he is just a tomb robber, or another archaeological wizard."

Locke's tone softened slightly. "Senior sister, this is just a speculation."

 "But there are two delisting curses that are true. The delisting curse on the princess should be more severe than the delisting curse on the unknown king, which is also true."

 "The ancestor didn't say it... maybe he didn't dare to say it or couldn't say it." Locke recalled the words and deeds of the young wizard. "His greatest hope for this matter is that I obtain the inheritance of King Otto."

Witch Charlie looked happy. "Inheritance? Well... go back and tell the teacher, the teacher will be very happy."

 "With your help, the teacher may be able to set up another archeology research group, and she can put her name on it."

 Locke said: "Senior sister, the point is that I think that in the eyes of the Tower of the Black Sun, Princess Loom is more of a threat than King Otto. Big! "

  "The emergence of King Otto's mortal era itself feels very strange."

  "King Otto has only lived under the rule of the immortal lich since he was a child, and he wanted to defeat his ancestors who lived four lives as a young man. What I want to say is that in the early days, King Otto should have received help from the Tower of the Black Sun."

"Furthermore, he should have a partner by his side, maybe a princess. Then the weak and useless princess we saw in the historical reappearance is very strange. The princess can defeat the Tower of the Black Sun, and in the echo, she shouldn't have done nothing."

"King Otto insists on separating power and rights, but why did he suddenly envision a mortal era? Why should he trust the power of mortals..." Locke began to think. "He doesn't believe that a wizard can transform himself into a lich, so why should he give up on wizards and completely turn to mortals?"

   "There is an unexplained logical jump because the truth has been distorted. Also, the reaction of the Tower of the Black Sun was too violent."

 Locke found more loopholes in logic. "[The Imperial Court of Heliotus] was already torn apart at that time. Even if they do nothing, it will only be a matter of time before the [Imperial Court of Heliotus] is divided." If the Tower of the Black Sun resists the advent of the mortal era, then King Otto’s mortal era will soon end in failure. Are they going to die on their own because they are afraid of a mortal era that will collapse? "

 "Of course it may be that the Tower of the Black Sun has the habit of doing so on its own."

Locke said: "But for King Otto's ancestor, the immortal Lich King, the Tower of the Black Sun did not end it personally, but used King Otto. In the same way, the immortal ruler, one of the four problems of that era, was supported by the Tower of the Black Sun and asked him to lead his troops to annihilate him."

“This is the first half of the historical reproduction, but this logic suddenly changes in the second half. The Tower of the Black Sun frequently directly interferes with the world, as if it is forced into a desperate situation... But based on the historical content we understand, it is impossible for the Tower of the Black Sun to be forced into that by the mortal era and the [Heliotus Imperial Court].”

 Locke fell into deep thought. "We need to learn more about the relationship between the Tower of the Black Sun and the Age of Stars, as well as the specific way the Tower of the Black Sun rules the Age of Stars, so that we can further compare and find out the truth."

"Based on the current clues, I think it is likely that the princess came into contact with something that was unacceptable to the Tower of the Black Sun in the Age of Stars, further than King Otto."

"That thing is probably related to the way the Tower of the Black Sun ruled the Age of Stars. It may also be related to the reason why the Tower of the Black Sun has disappeared."
/>
Witch Charlie suddenly looked up and looked outside the dormitory, and urged: "We really have to leave. I have just used the historical projection spell model to copy the entire place. I have also copied the entire city roughly. Together with the historical projections copied from the hands of the two dark wizards, I should be able to assemble a rough replica."

"Let's leave here first and then study the questions. If both of us fall into that dark sun, even if we learn the truth, we won't be able to publish an article and tell the world!"

Locke nodded and just frowned. "If I can't figure out the key points of doubt in this mausoleum, it will be even more difficult to think clearly after I leave. 』

     The princess is a talented person, so she must not be a mediocre person. 』

    ‘Otherwise, she will not be able to defeat the Tower of the Black Sun. If she had expected that the Tower of the Black Sun would enter her tomb, what would she have done? What should she do to ensure that the information passed on to future generations will not be tampered with? 』

   『Gamble. 』

Locke summoned the abyss swallowing body Hai Jinsha, and at the same time Hai Jinsha turned into an Overlord Fern Spear, and then stabbed towards the statue of the princess in the dormitory.

   『Bang~』

  The statue suddenly turned into powder.

  Witch Charlie was startled. "Junior brother? Are you crazy? Why are you destroying cultural relics?"

Locke said: "I can't control that much!"

"No?"

Locke poked the coffin beside him, and a big hole was poked in the coffin. Although it was a second-ring magic weapon, it had already become unstable due to the passage of time.

  In the past, I didn’t use brute force to destroy, I just didn’t want to destroy the ancient objects.

Locke continued to use the golden fern gun to destroy the coffin. Locke felt that it was too late, so he directly threw ten diamonds into the coffin and used golden eyes grass to protect himself and Witch Charlie.

 The next moment, the coffin finally cracked from the middle, and a deerskin book of magical creatures flew away.

 Locke quickly caught the book, and at the same time looked at the words written on the skin of this magical creature, and read out quickly: "The four major problems of the Age of Stars - the immortal ruler, the eternal war of the major kingdoms, and all the materials produced in the Little Ice Age Cut..."

  "But behind these four questions, there is a real problem hidden. I found that the real problem is in the Tower of the Black Sun. I would like to warn all future generations of magic kingdoms not to believe in the Tower of the Black Sun. I will create a new era..."

 The next moment, the entire magical creature deerskin paper burned with black flames, and the next moment, the deerskin paper was completely burned.

 Locke only had time to read one-tenth of the content...

 Locke and Witch Charlie looked at each other, and the two were silent for a moment.

 Until now, they realized that they had underestimated the secrets contained in this mausoleum city.

 The secret has even been restricted and hidden many times.

 It is currently out of reach of their two first-level wizards.

 Locke grabbed Witch Charlie and flew towards the sky. "Let's leave first. For now, we can only stop here. As archaeological wizards, we at least did not desecrate our duties and discovered that the entire tomb had been tampered with."

Locke took her flying towards the sky, and at the same time his pupils turned into golden vertical pupils. The blood power in his body resonated with the black sun under his feet.

 At the same time, Hei Ri, who originally showed no concern for them, now has a certain attraction to the two of them.

 Don't let the two of them leave.

  "Damn it, are you going to get rid of us too?" Locke gritted his teeth and used Porcelain Moon Growth, and suddenly a moon rose in the sky, reflecting the past and present.

 All the magic plants in the entire city rioted in an instant.

 The resulting magical power turned into thrust, pushing Locke and Witch Charlie out.

 The black sun swallowed up the entire city. A magic dragon seemed to emerge from the black sun. After taking a look at Locke, it returned to the black sun.

Locke gritted his teeth and at the same time recited the ritual magic he had prepared before flying away. With the help of the power of the Emerald Dream's plane, he summoned the torrent of souls and the power of the dream's plants to grow in size.

  Two Abyss Devouring Body Sea Golden Sands appeared above his head, and at the same time, due to the power of enlargement, they turned into a high mountain.

Locke discovered that using the Porcelain Moon to grow and resonate with the power of the Emerald Dream seemed to give him more authority to use the power of the Emerald Dream. Therefore, the normal enlargement was also strengthened at this moment.

  Witch Charlie looked at Locke in confusion.

  Locke chanted a spell, and the two golden fern guns were combined together, turning into a brilliant fern gun like a hill!

 The terrible magic pressure is like a meteorite, falling towards the black sun below.

 Locke poured all his magic pressure into this brilliant fern gun. "No matter what secrets the Tower of the Black Sun wants to hide, I will dig it out in the end. Let me leave a natural mark on this city."

  The Brilliant Fern Gun fell into the expulsion curse, entered the Black Sun, and landed in the city. At the same time, it followed the mausoleum city into the mysterious space.

  The roots of the grip of the Brilliant Fern Gun spread rapidly around, absorbing the surrounding energy to support themselves.

 The Brilliant Fern Gun is composed of the Abyss Devouring Body and can survive by absorbing the energy of the Abyss.

Therefore, Locke simultaneously grew his porcelain moon and submerged it into the river of the abyss, and then sent the porcelain moon into that world, hanging in the sky above the city, turning into the moon, shining on the brilliant fern gun to ensure that the fern gun would not be destroyed.

 Locke said to Witch Charlie: "This gives me the possibility that after I become a high-level wizard, I can use my brilliant fern gun to find this city back."

 Witch Charlie nodded. "I didn't expect that your botany is so powerful that you can do this kind of thing."

  Locke nodded slightly.

 Mainly the abyssal sea gold sand, which has special autotrophic organs that can swallow the energy of the abyss and live like a plant growing under the sun.

 And here is the river of the abyss, and the growth of its own porcelain moon can store and refract the energy of the abyss.

Only when these conditions are met, Locke can use this combination to lay down his brilliant fern gun on the mausoleum city.

 Furthermore, Locke could vaguely see through the overlook, turning into a hill, forming a small abyssal ecology around the brilliant fern gun inserted in the city.

 Because when Porcelain Moon grew into the river of the abyss and absorbed the river water, it also sucked in many primitive worms. Therefore, these primitive worms followed the moonlight and entered their glorious fern gun as a habitat.

 A small abyssal ecological community was formed in a very short period of time.

    This can be regarded as fighting fire with fire. Locke thought: "The only ecology that can have a chance to exist in the special space of the Tower of the Black Sun and form a connection with me in the future is the abyss ecology."

Witch Charlie said: "It's a pity that you put a lot of thought into the Porcelain Moon and spent a lot of resources. Now you threw that thing in the city, and you don't feel bad about it."

Locke and Witch Charlie were flying above the River of the Abyss at the moment.

 Locke smiled and said: "It's a pity. But from my current point of view, there are more mistakes in the porcelain moon growth. I have a better idea."

 "So, it needs to be restructured. Give it away. I won’t feel too distressed if I get involved in it.”

  “Also, through the experiment just now, I suddenly discovered that my mirror moon system can already try to construct a unique ecology.”
