Chapter 2044 Magic Palace Rose
The twelve ghosts floating against the wall, the moment they were illuminated by the "Soul Requiem Nova", were like picture scrolls ignited with silver flames, twisting and turning into fly ash, and quietly dissipated.
"The ghost in the tower has been dealt with, let's go in and have a look."
Joan withdrew his consciousness back into his body, took Tristan into the main entrance of the stone tower, walked through the hall, and came to the shaft leading to the underground palace.
Joan remotely controlled the magic eye, and it dropped down the wellhead until it was a hundred yards deep before seeing the ground.
Right below the wellhead, surrounded by a group of ghosts, it is clear that they want to give the intruders a "surprise".
Joan saw this group of cunning undead through the "peeping magic eye", sneered and cast a spell remotely, and blasted down with "Extended Soul Requiem Nova", instantly cleaning up the ghosts near the bottom of the well.
Joan held up "Tristan"'s arm, blessed him with the "feather fall technique", and then jumped into the mouth of the well by himself, spreading the bee wings in the air.
Tristan also jumped down after him, triggering the "feather fall technique", and slowly fell.
Not long after, Joan and Tristan landed one after another.
The ghost armor flashed the black magic sword, leading the way according to the memory.
Joan blesses a glass magic eye with "Daylight" and acts as a torch, illuminating the surrounding 60 feet as bright as day.
Tristan turned his head and saw the glass bead emitting blazing light, subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, and quickly turned his back to the light source.
The Horror Bound was integrated into the ghost armor, changing from incorporeal to solid, eliminating the weakness of photophobia, but psychologically speaking, Tristan still doesn't like environments with strong light.
Especially the scorching sun's brilliance simulated by the "Daylight Art" made him feel very uncomfortable, so he tried to avoid looking directly at it.
The ghosts entrenched in the underground palace are far more afraid of the "daylight spell" than Tristan. They become very weak when they are illuminated by strong light. What's more, they are unable to escape from the illuminated area, like lambs to be slaughtered.
Tristan went all the way deep into the underground palace, slashing with his sword, killing all the ghosts he saw along the way.
However, he knew in his heart that his killing was actually meaningless.
Most of the ghosts in the underground palace are "spawns" transformed by explorers killed by the Banshee. As long as the Banshee is still in the mausoleum, these ghosts will not really die out, and will be reborn after a while. Only when the Banshee is saved, can her phantom spawn be liberated, and her soul return to the land of the underworld, where she can enjoy a peaceful sleep.
Continue along the dark underground tunnel, and deal with two waves of ghouls and ghost attacks on the way. Joan and Tristan finally reached the end of the tunnel. The hall ahead is the "Banshee" Gudron The place where the coffin rests.
Joan stopped at the door and waved his hand to signal Tristan not to rush into the hall, as usual, first send 21 "peeping magic eyes" in for investigation.
Sure enough, as Tristan had described, there was a rock altar in the center of the hall where the coffin was placed, and fiery red rose bushes grew around the altar.
Through the "mythical link" established with the glass magic eye, Joan saw blooming flowers, which looked very strange in this dark underground palace.
He remotely controlled a magic eye and approached the flowers, smelling the sweet fragrance first, and then tasted a suspicious rancid smell.

The investigation results of "Advanced Internal Vision" surprised Qiao An. It really is a "supernatural plant cluster"!
The information obtained from the investigation is only a little bit. Joan searched the memory of "Wares Monster Illustrated Book" (plant volume) and the documents in the Cloud City Library, but he couldn't find the number that matched this magic flower. species.
In the past, this matter could only become an unsolved case. Fortunately, it is now the "cloud era", and Qiao An has a more convenient channel to answer questions and satisfy curiosity.
Joan ordered Tristan to be vigilant, closed his eyes and meditated, and connected to the "cloud network" with ease.
Recently, cloud network service providers have launched two new services. One of them allows cloud network users to set and modify nicknames for mailboxes matched with bank accounts, as virtual identities for socializing and trading online.
Most people think that nicknames are more convenient than the string of numbers randomly assigned in the past, but Joan doesn't think it matters. However, for the convenience of others, he still gave himself an online nickname that is easier to remember, which is the first three digits of pi "314".
The second new service launched by Yunwang is a comprehensive social forum called "Cloud Community", which allows users to apply for self-built theme boards. From food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and entertainment to serious academic topics, it can be said to be all-encompassing, complete in elegance and vulgarity... Thousands of vertically divided "sub-forums" are convenient for colleagues to gather and discuss.
"Cloud Community" also has an official sub-forum called "Cloud Q&A", regardless of industry and category, any user can ask any question here, seek answers, and discuss together.
Asking questions in the question-and-answer forum is free by default, and the answerers are free by default, but both the questioner and passers-by can like the answers they think are excellent, and all answers are arranged in order of the number of likes from high to low.
In addition, questioners can also offer rewards for answers, and those who give satisfactory answers first can get corresponding rewards.
Joan is not opposed to paying for knowledge, especially for serious academic issues, but I am ashamed to go whoring for nothing.
Take out the "picture mirror", first carefully take a few photos of the magic flower in the underground palace, select the three most representative photos and post them on the forum, offer a reward of 100 gold thalers, and ask about the name and origin of this magic flower.
Questions posted on the forum are usually sorted by release time, but there is a set of weighting algorithms for reward questions, which always rank in the forefront, and according to the amount of reward, the title comes with special fonts.
Joan's daily life is very simple, but he is willing to spend money for knowledge. The reward amount of 100 gold thalers is not common on the forum. The title is shining with dazzling golden brilliance, which immediately attracts attention.
As soon as Qiao An edited the question, he received a reply notification.
"A reward of 100 gold thaler? 314 grand master!"
"I don't know what kind of flower this is. Let's squat for a while and wait for the boss to come forward to answer, and we will learn a lot."
Seeing the two innocuous replies, Qiao An frowned, thinking that he must be a kid from a lower grade in the Austrian Law School. He was so idle that he wandered around the cloud network all day, posting some watery stickers everywhere.
It seems that there are still not enough homework. To find out which college they belong to, it is necessary to write a letter to their tutor and correct the style of study...
