Chapter 282 The Residue of the Soul

The passage was extremely long, as if it would never end.

However, since it is only long in the physical sense and there is no supernatural power such as magic involved, it can still reach the end.

After walking for nearly an hour, they finally saw an exit in front of them.

Since the road they were walking on was a pilgrimage route, the end of the road should of course be a place like a large temple, and there must be a treasure house in the temple.

The temples are extremely rich, but most of them are guarded by devout priests and paladins. Adventurers who want to go in and loot them would be courting death, so looting abandoned temples is very popular.

Seeing that they were almost at the exit, everyone quickened their pace, and it could even be said that they walked over with great excitement.

Then I realized that things were not exactly what I thought.

Outside the passage, the first thing that catches your eye is a row of huge thrones. Their backrests alone are nearly ten meters high. Such large seats are more like those for giants rather than humanoid creatures.

There are seven thrones in total, forming a semicircle facing the entrance to the Way of Worship, and they are all made of cold stone. There is no trace of precious metals such as gold or silver, nor any valuable gems.

Behind the throne is a hill of rubble.

There are still traces of human carving on the stones. They look more like ruins than stones. It feels like they were once part of a huge and magnificent building, but later the building was blown up.

Seeing this scene, the smiles on the faces of the three adventurers froze instantly. If the temple was blown up, where would they find the treasure?
Alday was not here to make a fortune, but she frowned slightly when she saw this scene.

I originally thought that the Demon King's Ring might be sealed in the temple, but now the temple has become a ruin. Do I have to dig it out bit by bit with my own hands?

Then again, the temples were destroyed, so why are there these seven huge thrones placed at the door?

In an instant, Orday thought of the seven apostles. The number was exactly the same, which should not be a coincidence.

She took out the amulet she had just obtained, and there was no response from anyone around her, so she took out the psychic crystal detector.

This time, the psychic crystal detector issued a rapid warning sound, and the volume was louder than any previous time. It should have detected that the psychic crystal was nearby, and judging from the strength of the signal, it was probably quite strong.

With a feeling of loss, the four of them followed the guidance of the psychic crystal detector and took a few steps.

"The way in is gone!"

Hearing Nemea's voice, everyone looked back and found that the passage they had just walked out of had disappeared like smoke, and they could not return the same way.

To be honest, they were a little panicked, but not too much. After all, Oldie was still there and could use group teleportation to escape.

As for Oldie, she didn't even look back, but waved her staff at the ground.

A whirlwind appeared out of nowhere, sweeping up the dust on the ground and revealing a large gem underneath the dust that reflected a deep blue light under the magic light.

It is too big, probably seven or eight meters in diameter, and is not a regular circle.

No, not a circle, but a heptagon.

Alde discovered that each corner of this seven-sided psychic crystal faced the huge throne arranged in a ring.

The psychic crystal detector helped the group easily bypass the maze and also helped them find the huge psychic crystal, but what next?
Where is the Demon King's Ring?
Where is the treasure?

Where is the forgotten story?
Alday stood up and looked around, trying to find something she might have overlooked.

At this moment, Aldea caught a glimpse of something shiny right above her.

Looking up, she saw that in addition to the magic light she had lit, there was also a crescent-shaped light flickering on the ceiling at an invisible height.

But unlike the moonlight that illuminates the night sky, its light was more concentrated, sweeping across the ruins of the temple like a searchlight and moving towards the throne.

When Alde noticed it, the light had already landed on the throne, and the backrest of the throne immediately lit up with huge runes half a person's height. The unique light swept across the seven thrones one by one, and the runes lit up on each throne were different.

That wasn't a magic rune, but more like a coat of arms used by nobles.

The reason why Orday had this feeling was that the runes she saw lit up on the back of the throne facing her were very similar to the emblem of the Avarus royal family. Only the details were slightly different, and the main body was exactly the same.

Could this be the original emblem of the Seven Apostles?

All high-level demons can trace their roots back to the seven apostles. Although not all high-level demons are royals, royals are definitely high-level demons.

Orday quickly took out her notebook and quickly wrote down all the runes. The original emblems of the seven apostles are of great historical research value.

But the others were not as calm as Orday. Seeing the throne glowing, they all retreated to the center of the circle formed by the throne, standing back to back on guard.

It turned out that their vigilance was very necessary, because when everyone stood back to back, the brightness of the glowing runes on the throne began to increase, like projector lenses, weaving illusory lines on the throne.

Finally, seven demon shadows of different genders, different costumes and apparently different ages appeared on the throne. They looked like ghosts, with an illusory sense of unreality, but they seemed to exist in reality, bringing a sense of oppression like a mountain pressing down on one's head.

"Who is disturbing our sleep...!"

He was speaking to the phantom of Alday. His voice was hoarse, but the decibel level was quite high, making people's ears numb.

"Are they alive?"

"The dead one should be a ghost."

“But the question is why is it so big?”

The three adventurers were a little panicked, but it was an adventure, and all kinds of shit could happen. They were panicked, but not to the point of being at a loss.

Ordai did not answer immediately, but observed carefully for a moment before speaking loudly:

"What are you?"

This child really can't speak...

Upon hearing this, a group of phantoms immediately stood up, and Orday and his companions were surrounded by seven giants.

The effect is probably similar to a four or five-year-old child standing among seven tall and strong adults, feeling very oppressive.

"You rude bastard! Watch your words in front of us!"

The roar of the seven giants was like a gust of wind, blowing so hard that everyone could not open their eyes.

But Orday had no intention of giving in. She shouted with a voice amplified by magic:
"I am Ordai Avarus, the descendant of the Apostle of Greed!"

Upon hearing this, the seven huge phantoms actually burst into laughter, and their laughter made the ground tremble slightly.

Among them, the one facing the shadow of Ordai said:
"My descendant? Why don't you kneel?"

"Ah."

As if in a counterattack, Alde chuckled, raised her staff, and brilliant magical light shot up into the sky, like a sharp sword that tore through the darkness above her head, revealing a vast rock wall hanging high above her head.

The giants were stung by the light and took a half step back, as if they were afraid.

"My ancestors were apostles of greed, not the dregs of your souls!"
