Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

After listening to the words of this female shadow, Ryan and Allendo's first thought was to remember the Hydra that they had killed at the gate of the temple before, but the one that appeared in the hearts of the two people, But it was deeply suspicious, because what the female shadow said was very unreasonable, but Ryan and Allendo did not speak, and listened quietly.

The calm expressions of Ryan and Allendo also made the female shadow feel a little strange. She thought that the two young men in front of her would be shocked. Maybe she might immediately ask about that powerful creature, but there was absolutely nothing. Thinking of them being completely indifferent, is it because they forcefully calmed down, or is the power of these two young people so strong that they don't need to be afraid?

"I know what I said may have caused your suspicion," the female shadow seemed to be able to read Ryan and Ellendor's heart. She directly expressed the suspicion in Ryan and their hearts: "I guess, you will feel what I have It’s not reasonable to say that I’m deceiving you? Or you only care about two things, how did this temple become what it is now? And the gains from your adventures here, right?"

Ryan shook his head gently, and he said: "In fact, it is not what you imagined. Our group came to the Cursed Swamp mainly to find a lost item, although we don't know why the thief was so hard. I stole this thing bitterly and then ran here..."

"Cursed the swamp?"

"Yes, in the past many years, the silent jungle of the past has long been transformed into another appearance. It is full of miasma, and there are a lot of spiders, crocodiles, and bipedal dragons. In short, they are all very uncomfortable things. , Even when we were looking for the lost property, we killed a Hydra." Lane said slowly.

"Hydra?" The female shadow was startled: "You mean that kind of ancient beast, a huge creature with nine heads?"

"Yes, it is kept in the lake outside the temple. Oh, yes, I don't know what is going on, but this temple is sinking at the bottom of the lake." Lane said: "What we are looking for The thing is at the bottom of the lake outside the temple. After killing the hydra, we have found it, but we found it again, so we came in and took a look."

"It turned out to be like this..." The female shadow was silent, as if she fell into deep thought after listening to Ryan's words. The expression on her face also changed many times in an instant, suddenly realized, but also unwilling, and it took a long time. Yes, the female shadow spoke again: "I finally understand why no outsider has entered here for 200 years. It turned out to be like this. I think that people on the mainland can easily defeat the Hydra. Not a lot, right?"

Ryan nodded, his expression agreed with the other person, and the female shadow continued to say: "We Templar, although we have a very powerful power, but in a sense, this power is not entirely ours. Really. The templar is not only good at close combat, but also uses all kinds of magic. It can be regarded as a warrior of "demon and martial arts". We fight with the sharp weapon in our hand. We use the magic in the body to support. Chanting mantras, it can be said that we are the strongest here, there is no one."

"You said, here?" Ryan heard the meaning implied in the other party's words, so he asked, and the female shadow also nodded and said: "Yes, this is our purpose to stick to the Temple of Apocalypse, because we There is no way to leave here. After we leave, we will lose most of our power, and the remaining power will not allow us to escape in the vast sea of ​​skeletons. It is better to use this place to hold on."

"My identity is a bit higher than the average templar, and it is probably similar to the difference between the cardinal and the bishop of the Church of Light. I am not good at fighting, but I am responsible for presiding over the documents of the entire temple. So although I have a higher status, my combat ability is the worst among the entire Templar."

"After so many years of memory, I can finally be sure that it was a month after we had been surrounded by the undead legion. From the beginning of the undead legion’s leading troops into the silent jungle, the battle has not stopped, but we did not let The bones outside took a step here. When the female shadow said this, she pointed her finger to her feet, obviously saying that the undead army had not penetrated into the temple. Her eyes revealed a proud look, and Ryan also admitted that it was A very remarkable thing,

You know that the Kingdom of Dianis, one of the seven kingdoms of the year, has always been known for its excellent combination of heavy infantry and earth magicians. However, in the catastrophe 200 years ago, the Kingdom of Dianis was the most elite The 30,000 soldiers of the King’s Guard faced an undead that was fifty times their own in the Canyon of Sorrow and finally annihilated the army for ten days. They wrote a tragic scene, and they lost because of the innate difference between humans and the undead. , Fatigue, will bleed and die, and the undead can fight continuously without eating or drinking, until they fall into a permanent sleep again.

Now Ryan heard from this female Templar that they had only 5,000 people, and they could fight fiercely with each other for a month, and it seemed that they hadn’t fallen short. This was the dark ritual of the demigod Lich Constance. , This is indeed a remarkable record.

The female shadow seems to be very emotional about Ryan's inner emotions. Maybe she is quite good at predicting magic in this area, right?She sighed and continued: "What the hell is going on, I don't know exactly what happened, because that night I sorted out the information about the sacrifice in the temple and sent it to the high priest, and then I returned here. I fell asleep, but who knows that when I wake up again, I will become what I am now, my body, without stopping my command, and my soul, becoming such an immortal appearance ..."

"Overnight? And there was no warning sign before?" Allendor interjected.

"It should be like this. At least in the past 200 years, I have repeatedly recalled, and indeed there has been no obvious change," the female shadow said: "If I must say there is, I probably have a little caution in my heart, as if... as if I had a premonition I am about to face a catastrophe, but this kind of hunch is usually not very accurate. If I am good at this kind of prediction theory, I don't have to do documentary work, but directly preside over the sacrificial affairs."

"Well, I understand." Ryan nodded and said, "Then do you need us to do something for you?"

A wry smile suddenly appeared on the female shadow’s face, but it matched her gloomy face more like a grin: "I have been trapped in this small room for so many years. I found that my soul is fundamentally I can’t leave my body too far, but I can’t go back. I don’t know how I managed to survive such a long time. If possible, please let me fall asleep, okay? I really suffer. That kind of loneliness is no more.

"Then why don't we hope that we can help you gain a new body or regain freedom? It's to relieve you?" Ryan asked in confusion.

The female shadow sighed faintly, and after a long time, she said, "Maybe there is a way to get me free, but if I become an undead, I would rather die. Before we were alive, we fought to the death with those nasty guys. Later, we can’t give in to them either. And... And, we’re only meeting for the first time. Will you help me unconditionally?"

When the female shadow said this, she shook her head slowly, and then continued: "If it is me, I may also refuse, and I can't offer anything to exchange with you. The most in this temple The most important thing is the seal at the bottom. In addition, for such powerful adventurers as you, I really don’t know what attracts you."

"Then you can also use that powerful sleeping creature to seduce us, maybe we will be fooled by greed?" Ellendor stood beside Ryan and said: "Or make up a story, as long as it sounds vivid. , Maybe we will help you."

"I..." A little blush suddenly appeared on the gray face of the female shadow. She held back for a long time before she said: "I won't...Yes, I don't know how to deal with it. When other people make transactions, I just need to speak directly, and someone in charge of this aspect will solve it for me. What other people want me to do, as long as I can do it, will do it unconditionally. Our entire Templar will do it. Like a family, I have lived here since I was just sensible, and have never left for many years. Even if I am free, will I continue to live here?"

"So that's it." Ryan nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "What's the matter with that sleeping creature?"

"This is actually not a secret. The power of all our Templars can be said to belong to a certain god, and a few years ago, this god sealed a terrible demon, in order to prevent others from letting it out. , Just above that seal, turned a mountain into a palace with divine power, and then bestowed his power on some believers and made them take care of it. That’s it."

"The gods are afraid that you have power but refuse to continue guarding, so they put some restrictions on this power. For example, if you leave here, you will lose them?" Ryan added.

"No, it must not be the case, we must be because our pious beliefs are not enough, so we must stay in the temple to inherit the power bestowed by the gods!" The female shadow quickly yelled, as if Ryan's words made her Very uncomfortable, because it will change the image of the god in her mind to a bad side, which is the most intolerable thing for devout believers.
