Chapter 381

Angel lowered his eyebrows.

Black castle, what you do can't be decent.

In fact, the effect of magic energy array deduced by him is not very straightforward and cruel. Otherwise, the kulakuka will not last for thousands of years. But sometimes, straightforward cruelty is not the real abyss.

It was a sleepless night, but the brightly lit only ended at the altar at the foot of the holy mountain. Siblock fell into silence because there was no one. The quiet streets were deserted. Only the lonely street lamps shone on the clear light of the place.

Angel looked at the peaceful city. No one knew what darkness the city had under the quiet and exquisite appearance.

Gazing at it, as if gazing into the abyss.

Suddenly, angel found that not everyone in siblock had left. An old lady with gray hair came out of the residential building. She walked slowly with a handful of flowers in her hand.

Angel looked at the whole sipolok street and there was no one, but the old lady walked alone.

She walked slowly to a statue at the end of the street.

This statue is one of 372 statues with magic pattern nodes.

A street lamp that attracts little moths stands beside the statue.

Through the street lamp, angel saw the old lady's face. Because she was old, her eyes were a little hanging. However, from the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, it can be seen that the old lady is a person who likes to laugh. Although her face is wrinkled, her temperament is very gentle and peaceful.

However, angel noticed that the old lady looked a little bad, her face turned white, her eyes were cloudy, and she looked full of illness.

The old lady put the flowers in front of the statue with a serene smile on her mouth.

Angel saw her saying something in her mouth, with a bitter smile on her face, as if she were saying something.

Angel knows a little lip language, but that's based on the other party's big mouth. Now the old lady's mouth range is not large, and she still uses Qi sound from time to time. He can't hear what she's saying.

But angel has some speculation.

Perhaps she is recalling her life. She sighs from time to time, smiles from time to time, and occasionally lowers her head in silence. He is a dying man, who is remembering the past years and drawing an end to life.

As she spoke, she bowed to the statue, looking very respectful.

Because of her move, angel set his eyes on the statue. He had not paid attention to the statue before, but focused on the magic pattern node centered on the statue. When he looked at the statue carefully now, he found something strange.

Although the shapes of the whole siblock statue are different, one place is interlinked. All the statues are carved with a woman.

Although there may be differences in artistic expression, angel always felt that these statues should be carved by the same woman.

The statue in front of the old lady is a gauze robed woman with both hands, closed eyes and kind expression. The carving level is very high, which can clearly see the respect the carver wants to express and the alienation of deifying women in gauze robes.

"Diablo, do you know who the statues of siblock are carved?" Angel rarely takes the initiative to connect with the shadow with his mind.

The shadow replied after a long time: "Hoo - the temptation here is too great. I really want to rush to the temple on the top of the mountain regardless. Ah, did you just ask about the statue?"

"Yes, those statues are the same person?"

Shadows: "Ah, ah, you just found out now? Yes, those statues are the same person. If I guess correctly, it should be the black castle witch who led the kurakuka people here thousands of years ago. She is also the old witch's mentor, Isabel, the king of dusk. By the way, now the old witch imitates her mentor in everything, and even her name is very similar to Isabel. I can't get out of my mentor's y shadow. No wonder I haven't been able to step into true knowledge. "

"King of twilight, Isabel." Angel, look at the statue. What's the meaning of dusk? The goddess who says she is holy has no violation!

During angel's dialogue with the shadow, the old lady in front of the statue seemed to have finished speaking. Knelt down, his head touched the ground and lay down in front of the statue for a long time.

After a long time, angel saw that the old lady had not moved and walked down the mountain. After feeling with the mental tentacle, I found that the old lady's body was already cold.

As he thought.

Perhaps the old lady knew that she was dying soon, so she didn't go to the sacrifice, but she missed the past alone, talked with the statue, and left at the last moment with a pious heart.

Angel sensed that although the old lady was dead, her weak soul remained in the body, as if she were making a final farewell to the body.

However, at the moment when her soul came out of her body, the statue in front of her suddenly flashed a faint light that ordinary people could not see. Before she could react, her soul was involved in the unknown land.

Angel witnessed this moment. He had no intention to change and... Was unable to change.

He just felt a little ironic.

At the last moment of her life, the old lady did not forget to respect the statue of her life. Even when she died, she had to talk about the last moment in front of the statue. But she never thought that the statue was the culprit who pushed her into the real abyss.

Ironically, this is the reality.

Isabel gave the kulakuka a chance to multiply, so that it never stopped. But all this shelter is not without cost, and the price is very expensive - it needs to pay your soul.

The body can die, but the soul is still there, and there is a glimmer of vitality.

If even the soul dies, that is the real death.

Angel turned and left.

In front of the street lamp on the corner, a cold body knelt down in front of Isabel's statue. Isabel closed her eyes and punched, as if praying for something. When the wind blew, the flowers in front of the statue scattered, and the petals danced, and finally fell on the old lady's rigid body. Gray hair and soft white petals seem to melt into one at this moment.

You talk to me and I say goodbye.

……

All the way across the desolate solitude of siblock, when Angel stepped into the holy mountain, the lively atmosphere immediately poured up with bright lights and uninterrupted chants.

It's like walking through two different worlds, from desolation to excitement.

Looking at the temple at the top of the holy mountain, the rhythm is wantonly spreading out, highlighting the sense of existence.

"Why are you here?" The voice of the shadow suddenly came, "are you going to give up the calculation?"

From beginning to end, the shadow never thought that angel could push the effect of the magic energy array back in less than ten hours.

Angel: "it's calculated. There's no unexpected result."

"It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out. Anyway... Ah? You said you figured it out?! hell, you didn't lie to me?" The shadow was so surprised that he almost roared out. If angel could see him, he would find that the shadow not only stared round, but also his hat had fallen to the ground without knowing it.

"I have calculated several important magic patterns. In fact, I have almost guessed the outcome. After a little verification, it is expected."

The shadow still couldn't believe it. He confirmed it several times. Until angel had answered impatiently, he reluctantly believed it was true: "well, what is the effect of this magic energy array?"

"Imprison and absorb the soul." Angel paused, "According to some of the magical patterns involving blood, we can make a simple guess. The forbidden scope of the magic energy array may not only be siblock... But also include all people with kulakuka's blood. Even if they are not in this world, even if they are thousands of miles away, they will be lured here as long as they have the mark of kulakuka."

Shadow frowned: "you mean..."

"This race is actually the forbidden land of the black castle." The kurakuka people seem to have freedom, peaceful and beautiful life, but these are just the beautiful illusion given by the black castle when they are still alive. When they die, all these appearances will be torn open, revealing deep fangs and tearing the already weak soul into pieces.

"The result is not unexpected, but the means are quite unexpected." The shadow shook his head and said with a smile, "maybe Isabel had really pity on the kulakuka. If she didn't rescue, it's possible that the kulakuka would be extinct. However, in her eyes, if I saved you, you should repay me, but this form of reward is a little too much."

"However, we can't comment. Ordinary people rarely think about what happens after death. If they die, they will really die. Maybe even if the kulakuka people know the effect of the magic energy array, they won't care."

"That's right. The sight of ordinary people is just in front of them." The shadow paused: "however, listening to you, I have a bottom in my mind. Do you know where those imprisoned souls have gone?"

Angel pointed to the temple of the holy mountain: "it should be there."

Shadow: "yes, I've basically determined that the source of the law is in the temple. After I came here, I found that the law rhythm near the holy mountain is very stable. If the law is consumed, it's obviously a little unreasonable. But if the law is not consumed, why can't it spread in other places except this floating island?"

"I couldn't figure it out before, but I have a guess from what you said. If nothing unexpected, this magic garden relies on those absorbed souls as the source of energy to promote the law. However, there is another leak in this guess D, the souls of ordinary people are very fragmented, and the quality is not enough to become the law of energy supply."

"So... What should be the way to purify the soul?" They thought of this almost at the same time.

If there is really any way to purify the soul... Angel's trip is not worth it!
