Chapter 143: The White Cup Appears Again
The deeper you go into the sewer, the darker it gets.
Caesar used magic to create some light so that he could see his surroundings clearly.
A small ball of light rose in his hand, illuminating the surroundings.
As the light was emitted, the surrounding environment also became brighter.
We continued to move forward in this foul-smelling water flow. After an unknown amount of time, some kind of barrier appeared in front of us.
Two beams of light shot out from the visor of the helmet that Valissa was holding in her hand, breaking the blockade of the barrier and allowing the two to move forward.
"This is the knowledge fog barrier. If we don't break this barrier, we will get lost on the road ahead and eventually be unable to pass." The [Musician] explained.
After passing through the barrier, the surrounding environment changed a little.
There seemed to be something on the wall reflecting light. Caesar looked closely and saw that it was some kind of magical pattern.
They were densely engraved on the wall, extending along the wall into the darkness farther away. Xize could feel a strange suction coming from those lines, constantly pulling the small ball of light in his hand.
Xize tried to release his control over the small light ball in his hand, and the pulling force became more obvious. The small light ball was quickly pulled into the lines and finally absorbed, disappearing without a trace.
Caesar frowned.
This thing, what it just pulled in, was the magic power inside the light ball? !
He calmed down and felt it, and discovered something even stranger.
"Besides magic power, it seems that there is something else absorbed here..."
It was a mysterious yet familiar power.
Caesar's expression changed drastically.
"What kind of magic circle is this? It's actually absorbing the souls and life force of the residents of the capital above?!"
"Did you notice that you are worthy of being Lord Caesar? You easily accomplished something that I couldn't do."
The [Musician] praised.
"To be precise, it absorbs the souls and life force of the dead residents of the royal capital." The [Musician] added.
"How is it? Isn't this power powerful?" he praised.
"Obviously, those ordinary people are so weak, and we, the legendary beings, can slaughter tens of thousands of people with just a wave of our hands." His tone seemed quite emotional: "But as long as this magic circle absorbs and utilizes the souls and lives of five thousand people, it can condense into a treasure that can help beings like us to go further after taking it."
"What do you want to do by bringing me here?" Caesar asked in a cold tone, "Do you want me to destroy this place with my own hands?"
Is there such a thing as reincarnation in this world? Caesar doesn't know, but there is definitely such a thing as a soul.
After a person dies, the soul leaves the body and wanders in the main material world.
The souls of civilians are very weak. Once they die, most of their souls will dissipate on the spot, and only a small part can stabilize.
This fragment has no consciousness of its own and only stores some memories.
Some professionals can extract some knowledge or memories from these soul fragments.
The souls of professionals are stronger. For some professionals, their souls will not dissipate immediately after their physical death. After some special encounters, they may turn into some special creatures.
No one knows how big this magic circle is, but it is set up in the basement of the royal capital, which makes it hard not to think too much.
"Please don't be anxious. It won't be too late to make a judgment after you understand everything here." said the [Musician].
Caesar suppressed his thoughts and continued to move deeper with the [Musician].
"The Black Death Cult is brewing a plan."
"We need to break the barrier between the material world and the spiritual world, and the Lord who will receive them will descend into the material world and turn it into their paradise."
"As long as we set up the formation and sacrifice a large amount of life force and soul, the being in the spirit world will drop an anchor and gain the power to break the barrier between the two worlds."
"This process requires a considerable number of lives to be consumed. They have to die in large numbers in the same place and at the same time."
"The royal capital is their chosen target?" Caesar asked.
"That's right." The [Musician] replied.
After walking a long distance and making many turns, Caesar estimated that he was now several thousand meters underground.
"We're almost there. Please go ahead and take a look."
This is probably the deepest part of the sewer, and a huge bronze door stands here.
"Valissa, open the door."
There is a keyhole on the bronze door, and the slime-like arm can deform at will and reach in to open the lock.
Walking in, it was a bright place that looked like the research site of some wizards long ago.
There is everything in there, with various books and materials placed randomly.
Lizards, human skulls, elder human mouths and eyes, flowers and more are everywhere.
The pale and wounded man just stood there waiting for Caesar's arrival.
Valissa was very surprised when she saw the man in front of her. She rushed towards him quickly and then hid behind him.
She was quite scared of being around Caesar all the time.
But her body was several times bigger than that of the man, and she looked a little funny hiding behind him.
This is the true form of the [Musician].
"Valissa, go find a place to play by yourself first." The [Musician] patted her.
The latter nodded repeatedly and left quickly.
Valissa was obviously quite in awe of the puppet of the Musician, but she seemed to have an attachment to his original body.
"I'm sorry, there was a problem with the magic that resurrected Valissa, which resulted in her mental immaturity." The [Musician] said apologetically, as if he was dealing with a friend who came to visit.
"What secret do you want to tell me?" Caesar crossed his arms and looked around: "Now that I'm here, just tell me what you want to say."
"Please follow me." The [Musician] snapped his fingers.
The center of this huge underground space cracked, and a downward passage appeared.
He leaped forward and jumped in.
Caesar looked around.
This was like a tower inserted upside down into the ground. He could feel that the center of the formation he had just seen was here. The vitality and souls of all the dead residents of the royal capital were absorbed and transported here.
There is a rather luxurious altar there, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
A huge purple crystal was suspended above the altar, with a strange liquid oozing out of it.
Between the altar and the suspended purple crystal was a white chalice, catching the dripping liquid underneath.
The liquid gave off a peculiar fragrance, and just smelling it made Caesar feel a little agitated.
A fatal temptation came from the altar, as if there was a voice in Caesar's heart constantly urging him to go up and drink a sip of the liquid in the holy grail.
Caesar had seen the Holy Grail before.
"Pure White Cup? Why is it here?!"
