Chapter 695

"There are no traps or guardian beasts. Moleke is really confident about this place."

The Scimitar Man and the Ascetic were a little envious when they saw the piles of gold, silver and jewelry.

However, they were also people with good eyesight. They did not rush in like robbers, but carefully looked around.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on the canvas that was floating in the center at the end.

The canvas was a horizontal oil painting, about three meters long and one meter high, which was considered a huge painting.

There were many patterns on the canvas, some of which were still and some were shaking.

Winnie, the elemental archer, had excellent eyesight and saw the pattern on it at a glance.

Her expression moved, and she quickly passed the gold, silver and jewelry, came to the canvas, and stretched out her trembling hands.

"It's... it's you, you are really here."

Others also gathered around, and when they saw the scroll, even though they were all knowledgeable people, they all took a breath.

Lin crossed his arms and stared at the pattern on the painting, looking ugly.

Those pictures are all vivid human figures, who are now suffering from torture.

Some of them are Winnie's former companions, some are teammates in this treasure hunt, and some are strangers who have been locked up for a long time.

The environment in the painting is what Lin can imagine hell to be like.

That is, the hell in Dante's Divine Comedy.

There is the Black Wind Prison, where the poor souls are swept by the black wind and constantly hit the stones.

There is the Storm Prison, where the victims who cannot move are turned into mud again and again by the strong corrosive rain falling from the sky.

There is also the Ten Trench Prison, which rotates the human head 180 degrees and constantly merges with those snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Each picture is so horrible and cruel.

But these tortures should be used to punish those who have committed heinous crimes. How can these people bear it?

The most terrifying thing is that these souls have not yet been transformed into undead, and they have real senses and consciousness.

"Ugh."

The two teammates finally couldn't bear to look directly at it, and turned their heads to vomit.

Such a picture of hell also caused a great psychological shadow to Lin.

"This... is Moleke's treasure? A shitty thing used to torture other people's souls?"

Lin was a little furious, clenching his fists tightly, his hands were already on the back of his hands, and he wanted to chop it with a sword.

Winnie grabbed his arm and signaled him not to be impulsive.

The people inside have not been rescued yet.

Feiyue suppressed her psychological discomfort and went forward to check it out. She has top-notch treasure appraisal skills.

"This is an ancient relic, and it needs to recognize the owner of the ancient relic."

"It was originally supposed to be driven by Moleke, but after Moleke's death, the mark was erased, and it was still running according to the previous settings. Now it is an ownerless thing.

As long as you can leave a mark, you can manipulate it and let the soul inside get rid of suffering, but I don't know if it can be released."

As she said, she closed her eyes silently, and the demonic energy on her body began to infect the ancient relic.

According to the original agreement, this thing will be assigned to her in the end, and she has the right to deal with it first.

In just a moment, Feiyue's face turned pale, and she took a half step back, touching her forehead with her hand, and even cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

"No, I can't leave a mark. This thing has been attacking me mentally. Half-elf, you come."

This time, Miss Phantom Thief was not willful and selfish, but consciously gave up the secret treasure.

Perhaps she herself did not realize that her personality was quietly changing again.

Winnie bit her lower lip and gently stroked the souls painted on it, as if she wanted to soothe their pain and release magic at the same time.

But in the end, she also failed. Because of the forced support, the damage she received was more serious than Feiyue, and she almost fainted on the spot. Fortunately, Feiyue supported her.

"No... I don't want to either."

The Scimitar Man and the Ascetic looked at each other and shook their heads.

Feiyue and Winnie couldn't do it, so they couldn't do it even more.

In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Lin.

"Little God's Envoy... Please."

Chapter 281: This pit, isn't it already filled?

After thinking about it, Lin silently took out the spiritual potion, and put his hand on it after getting ready.

After putting it on, before he could release his magic power, his spiritual power was already pulled.

There seemed to be something in the sea of ​​consciousness, slowly pulling it towards the scroll in front of him.

The purple-black magic ring trembled slightly, resonating with the same rhythm as the scroll.

Suddenly, his spiritual power burst out uncontrollably and all rushed out.

At the same time, countless soul seeds were engulfed in it by the spiritual power.

Indistinctly, something in the scroll was connected to his magic ring.

The purple light in his eyes became deeper, which was shocking to watch, as if even his consciousness was about to be involved.

Soon, the pattern on the scroll changed.

The tortures of hell disappeared one after another, and what replaced them was an inn hidden in the sea of ​​clouds.

All the souls sat in the center of the inn. Some were mentally broken and crawling, some opened their mouths and screamed, some sat there stupidly, and some looked around in panic and suspicion.

But soon, under the power of Lin's soul communication and the ancient relic scroll, their faces gradually became calm.

They all looked in this direction, as if they could really see the outside world.

One of the short-haired women had bright eyes. She stood up and walked excitedly until she could no longer move forward.

"Lord Winnie, is that you?!"

Winnie burst into tears again, sliding her fingers on the little man.

"It's me, I'm here to save you."

Others crowded over one after another, all excited.

Winnie didn't have time to say anything, so she looked at Rin expectantly.

"Can you let them out?"

Rin shook his head: "This painting is the carrier of their souls. They can't get out, and they can't become dead souls."

"How...how could this happen?"

Winnie, who was already dizzy, became even more ugly.

"Don't worry, as long as they are still in this scroll, they are still alive, they just don't have bodies. I can freely manipulate the world in the scroll and give them a stable and comfortable environment. Just think of it... this is a nursing home.

Come and meet me when you have time. Unfortunately, this thing is connected to my sea of ​​consciousness and cannot be separated too far. I cannot take it away with you. "

Winnie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay... As long as they are no longer tortured, they will be relieved."

"But... what's going on with these people?" Feiyue asked curiously.

Rin knew that she was talking about those strange souls, including a lizard man, a demon, and the others were humans. "

"One of the lizardmen is the most powerful wizard in the history of the lizardmen. He has very strong mental power. Molek tried many methods but failed to control it. It was not until he beat the lizardman wizard to the brink of death that he successfully took it away. The soul, for revenge, placed it here."

"As for this demon clan, it is a senior of your clan who came to look for Molek's treasure hundreds of years ago."

"The other humans, the ones who revealed Molek's identity as the false god, were imprisoned here by it."

These people know more or less about Molek, but they have been tortured for too many years, and they still need to make some adjustments before they can regain their previous memories.

Especially victims from hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Feiyue nodded in sudden realization, and then asked another question.

"So... what is this ancient relic used for? Is it just used to store souls?"

"It is used to enhance soul power. The more souls you absorb, the more soul power you can provide, thereby making your soul stronger."

"So by torturing them, you can get the souls you followed?"

Rin nodded: "Being stimulated will indeed produce more power."

"If you keep going like this, won't it dry up?"

"emmm."

Rin thought about it and tried to explain it in words that people could understand.

"The longer the soul stays in it, the stronger it will become. As long as it is given enough rest time, it can continue to plunder."

"But isn't this endless... Doesn't it comply with the law of conservation of energy? Don't bully me for not studying enough." Feiyue was a little confused.

Rin scratched his head: "But is it really like this? The soul is not material. Its existence may be different from what we imagine, and it does not need to follow the laws of nature?"

"Or maybe the scroll has been absorbing some energy that we can't perceive and constantly transforming it into nourishment for the soul. Who can say for sure."

Besides, he obviously doesn't follow the magic-replenishing method.

Feiyue was silent, still somewhat doubtful about life.

Winnie didn't care about that much. While drinking the spiritual potion given by Rin, she chatted with the souls in the scroll, whether they were former companions or recent teammates.

Gradually, a faint smile appeared on her face, and a big stone fell in her heart, and her long-term obsession was slowly loosening.

Although she still felt a little guilty, at least she finally completed her mission.

"Don't worry about her, let her continue chatting, let's go look for other treasures. I don't need those gold and silver jewelry, you can take them and share them, but I have to choose other magic tools carefully. It's best Yes, there are ancient relics.”

Feiyue started searching enthusiastically, and the other two people also started to carry it.

Rin continued to communicate and comfort these souls, hoping to find useful clues.

It's a pity that humans have been trapped here for too long for thousands of years and have forgotten many things. The lizard people don't know much.

Only Night Demon was thinking hard.

It seems to be much stronger than other people's will, and has the talent to resist pain.

After a moment, it suddenly said.

"I remembered. I was lurking around some of the descendants of the rebellion before, and I heard them mention it."

"What?"

"Morek needs a lot of souls to open its master's seal."

For a moment, Rin's breathing stopped for a few seconds, her heart beat hard twice, and she couldn't help but clench her hands.

"Dragon?"

"They didn't say who it was... By the way, apart from saying they wanted a lot of souls, they also needed an important key."

Rin's heartbeat was beating faster, and her whole brain was heating up.

Right, all right!

He had known a long time ago that Charon went to the Dead City to get the key to unlocking the dragon from the Lord of the Dead City.

Now, Charon's behavior is all right.

But, this is not enough! There is no intention to sue the dead disciples.

It is absolutely impossible for them to just help Charon resurrect the dragon. There must be more important things.

But, the dragon was sealed by the first pope of the church and the people he loved, but what does this have to do with the dead city? Why is the key there?

Wait, remember Lina said that not only Helena sacrificed herself, but the founding emperor also sacrificed his soul.

Soul?

For a moment, Lin felt that he seemed to have grasped something, but without more information support, he could not completely connect the dots.
