Chapter 3174

"So, the corpse crystal was created by Tunita?" Angel asked, rubbing his chin.

Luigi shrugged: "Whether the Sacred Corpse Crystal was created by Tunita, it's hard to say, maybe other Crystal Eyes have made Sacred Corpse Crystals before, but this belongs to the Crystal Eye's secret, and it's impossible for outsiders to know. "

"The only thing that is certain is that Tunita must have added the corpse crystal to the building materials of the Crystal City."

"In any case, Tunita and the corpse crystal are very closely related." Angel grumbled: "The corpse crystal is a sensitive topic in the Crystal Eyes; and Tunita and the corpse crystal are incomprehensible. Fate, so to speak, the secret may really be related to the crystal of the holy corpse."

Speaking of this, Angel suddenly thought of something Luigi mentioned earlier.

The corpse crystal is suspected to be related to the inheritance ability.

And the ones who get the inheritance are generally the teenagers of the Jingmu clan.

Lita should be in line with the age of inheritance.

Could the matter of Lita still be related to inheritance? Could this inheritance have any fatal danger?

Angel hesitated for a while, and said his speculation.

After Luigi heard this, he fell into a daze... Or, Gleipnir, who was far away, fell into silence, and after a while, he replied through Luigi's mouth: "Your speculation, It's not far from the secret that I know."

"Is it really related to inheritance?"

Angel frowned and was about to continue asking, but at this moment, a new picture suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room that had been in the "unchanged" state.

Everyone's thoughts were immediately attracted by the changes in the live broadcast.

I saw that all the patrolling guards in the ring castle stopped, walked to the railing, and made a strange gesture in a certain direction at the same time.

The middle finger and the thumb touch, and the other three fingers stand up, a bit like a "peacock head". However, it is the two hands that show the gesture of "peacock head" at the same time, and the "peacock mouth" is also connected to the left and right, like a set of second hand gesture spells.

"A uniform gesture, is this some kind of ritual?" Angel guessed that this might be a signal that the ceremony was going on.

However, Luigi on the side shook his head: "It should have nothing to do with the ceremony. This gesture is called the 'hand salute', similar to the human breast-stroking salute. It is the basic etiquette for superiors."

While talking, Luigi pointed to a certain part of the picture: "Look, there is someone here."

The place Luigi was referring to was a platform on the second floor of the Circus Fort. A Crystal Eye family who turned the crystal shell into a suspended chair slowly floated onto the platform and also floated into the live broadcast screen.

And the "hand salute" that all the guards gestured before was facing this person.

There is no doubt that this person should be the so-called "superior" in Luigi's mouth. At least, in the eyes of the crystal eye guards, this is a superior.

His appearance... From Angel's point of view, it is not much different from other people, except that the child hole in the single eye is a bit cloudy yellow, like an elderly man.

As for what he wore, it was completely different from the obvious crystal armor of the surrounding guards. It was a very delicate robe. Although the overall color is plain, it has very complicated lace.

"Who is he?" Luigi murmured suspiciously.

However, in the next second, Luigi's confused eyes became wise: "He is Cassata, an elder of the Crystal Eyes."

You don't have to guess to know that Cassata's name was given to him by Gleipnir.

As for why Gleipnir knew about Cassata... It's also simple, Fata is near Gleipnir, people who don't know, just ask directly.

"According to Fada, Cassata was promoted to elder six hundred years ago, but he was in the forbidden area for many years and rarely appeared in front of the public." Luigi paused and added: "Fada is very confused. , why did Grappnir suddenly describe what Cassata looked like."

Don't worry about Fada's doubts. Fada is different from them, they can leave at any time, but Fada has lived in Crystal City for a long time, knowing too much is definitely not a good thing for her.

However, Fada's description of Cassata made Gleipnir feel that..."Puzzle" is coming.

Cassata is in the forbidden area all the year round, and the inheritance of the Jingmu family is also in the forbidden area.

The secret behind the power tower is also likely to be related to the forbidden area.

Cassata suddenly appeared in the outside world and came before a certain "ceremony", which was highly consistent with what Fada had vaguely revealed before.

There is no doubt that Cassata may be the core figure in that "secret", or even the mastermind!

And the next ceremony is very likely to reveal a secret corner!

In the live broadcast, Cassata came to the second-floor platform of the Ring Fort. He didn't look at other people, but silently watched the crystal dust constantly pouring out of the mirror at the bottom.

The crystal dust that spewed out had already covered the bottom layer of the entire ring-shaped fort at this time.

From the live broadcast, I couldn't see anything at all, and I couldn't see Jing Chen's movements.

Cassata looked at the foggy sea of ​​crystal dust condensed below, a sly smile appeared on his face, his mouth was slightly open, and he seemed to be muttering something.

Because the distance was too far, although Angel saw him talking, he didn't know what he was talking about. As for the lip language... Angel didn't understand it either. Cassata seemed to be speaking the language of the Crystal Eyes.

Angel could only look at Luigi, who was also confused and obviously didn't understand Cassata's words. But Luigi was not alone. Behind him stood Grapnir, and Grapnir stood next to Fada.

Gleipnir imitates Cassata's lip shape to get Fata to recognize it.

Fada wasn't very good at lip reading, so she didn't interpret all of Cassata's words, but through repeated simulations, she guessed a few words—

"...We're going to meet...an old friend."

Literally, Cassata's words can be understood as: old friends reunited.

Just, where is the old friend? Is it in that crystal dust... Angel still remembers that the crystal dust that spewed out at first tried to condense the outline of a human figure. Could this human figure be an old friend of Cassata?

But if the humanoid silhouette is Cassata's old friend, why did the other party meet in this way?

And, the guards said earlier, the Ring Fort is holding a ceremony.

If it is really a ceremony, and the result of the ceremony is - Cassata's old friend shows up.

That is to say, the result of the ceremony is a "great change of living people".

There are only three kinds of rituals that Angel can think of with this result: the teleportation ritual, the summoning ritual and the descending ritual.

The teleportation ritual, as the name suggests, is to teleport back an old friend of Cassata from a faraway place. This possibility is low, because the transmission ceremony will inevitably generate spatial fluctuations, and spatial fluctuations will definitely affect the quality of the live broadcast image transmission. Now the live broadcast image is stable, which means that there is no spatial fluctuation.

Summoning ritual, which is commonly used by summoning wizards, to summon creatures from another world. The summoning ceremony requires the use of special summons, or blood, or sacrifices, or contracts. At present, no obvious traces of summoning have been seen.

The advent ceremony, this ceremony is very partial, it is a forbidden area in the southern region, and it is prohibited by the extremist sect. The major wizarding organizations did not refute either, because this ritual is often associated with "gods".

Wizards only seek the truth and do not believe in gods.

All the gods that have traces of activity in the Southern Territory are either abyss evil gods, barbaric gods, or outer gods from the Druna plane... In short, there are no good gods. The reason why they appeared in the Southern Region was either because they coveted the world or because of the law of energy.

And the humans or fallen wizards who are seduced by them will extend the tentacles of the gods to the southern regions through the descending ceremony. For this reason, advent rituals are often associated with "evil" and "degeneration".

Will Cassata use the advent ritual here? Angel thinks it is unlikely. After all, now that the various ethnic groups in the southern region are gathered in Crystal City, do the Crystal Eyes have the courage to offend the major ethnic groups?

Although the Crystal Eyes are not weak in the daytime mirror domain, they are still a lot worse than the top races like the mirror dragon.

And there is more than one mirror dragon participating in the party. The Crystal Eyes would never dare to do anything crazy at this time.

In this way, it seems more like a summoning ceremony?

While Angel was guessing silently in his heart, Cassata suddenly took out a crystal scepter, and under the watchful eyes of all the guards, he raised the scepter high.

The guards closed their eyes and muttered words.

Every guard's chatter is different, and now he has no chance to even read his lips. After all, there were hundreds of guards at the scene, and even if Gleipnir could remember everyone's lips, there was no time for Fada to interpret them one by one.

As the guards talked, it was obvious that the surging sea of ​​crystal dust mist at the bottom began to shrink sharply.

It was like an inflated water polo that was forcibly pressed down at this time.

Why this happened, Angel couldn't analyze it just from the live broadcast.

However, Laplace on the side suddenly said: "There is a force involved in this 'ceremony'."

Angel looked in surprise: "Can you perceive it?"

Although Laplace mastered the mirror surface, the mirror surface is in the mezzanine space after all. Can she perceive the energy fluctuations in reality in the mezzanine space? Could it be that this energy is doped with spatial properties?

Laplace shook his head: "I didn't perceive it from the mirror, but I sensed the crystal city under my feet. At that moment, there was a slight transfer of energy veins."

That is, Laplace is not the energy fluctuations perceived from the ring fort. Instead, he directly sensed the energy veins of the entire Crystal City!

This... Angel has nothing to say, as expected of the elder.

Can't learn, can't compare.

After sighing, Angel recalled Laplace's words again: "So, the energy of the Ring Castle ceremony comes from the Crystal City itself?"

Laplace nodded.

How does Crystal City provide the energy needed for the ceremony? Angel doesn't know the answer to this question.

But he knew that the crystal city contained holy corpse crystals, and holy corpse crystals were the core clues for all secrets... This ceremony seemed to be linked to holy corpse crystals.

Link after link, link after link. All the clues point to one place, and it is no wonder that Gleipnir will watch the live broadcast remotely.

The picture continues, and Jingchen is still shrinking. By now, Jingchen has condensed into a human-shaped outline.

This humanoid outline is almost exactly the same as the one that Angel saw at first, but now the outline is more solid, and even his facial features can be seen.

One eye, pointed nose, thin lips, long elf-like ears, one of which has a golden earring, and a head of thick transparent crystal hair.

This is exactly what the Crystal Eyes look like.

Is he Cassata's old friend?

After another half a minute, when all the crystal dust was absorbed by the newly-appeared Jingmu tribe, he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were slightly confused, and he looked around, as if he hadn't realized where he was.

It was not until he raised his head and saw Cassata that his eyes gradually recovered from dazed laxity.

He seemed to recognize Cassata, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Thin lips parted lightly and said a word.

Angel still didn't understand this lip language, he glanced at Luigi, who gave him a "reassuring" gesture, which meant that Gleipnir had already started lip-speaking with Fada." test".

When Fada interprets the lip language, the live broadcast screen has some changes.

Cassata didn't chat with the newly-appeared Crystal Eyes clan, but gently waved his sleeves and fell into the oval mirror below him.

When the Crystal Eyes people disappeared completely, Cassata roared loudly.

Following his cry, all the Jingmu guards who had closed their eyes and muttered before opened their eyes one after another.

Cassata waved his sleeves again, maybe saying something like "the ceremony is over", then turned and left the ring fort.

The guards first glanced at each other, and then invariably looked at the mirror at the bottom. When they saw that there was no crystal dust near the mirror, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.

It can be seen from their expressions that they did not see the new Crystal Eyes who appeared before, and they did not know what the final result of the ceremony was.

Although they were participants in the ceremony, they did not know the specific content of the ceremony, which was consistent with what the guard had said before.

At this point, both Cassata and the Crystal Eyes people condensed by Jingchen have disappeared, which means that the live broadcast has come to an end.

Angel and Laplace looked at each other.

No need to discuss, they acted at the same time, Laplace destroyed the mirror surface of the interlayer space, and Angel wiped out the illusion node.

After all this is done, it not only means the end of the live broadcast, but also means that all the previous traces have been destroyed, and no one will find out that they have peeped at the ceremony of the Ring Castle.

Although the live broadcast has been closed, the aftermath has not ended.

Two minutes later, Luigi looked up and said, "Fada has read the meaning of that lip language."

——How did you get old?
