1194 A Guess
In the square hall, a skinny old man was sitting in front of a wall.
He stared at the alchemy formula drawn on the wall and fell into deep thought. The alchemy brush in his hand was placed in a corner, but he couldn’t find a place to write.
Suddenly, the magic array on the ceiling of the hall flashed with a blinding light.
The old man frowned and put down the alchemy brush in his hand. He stood up and looked up at the center of the hall.
Then, Fang Heng and the others emerged from the alchemy magic array on the ceiling in the center of the hall and fell from the sky one after another.
Fang Heng realized that the teleportation had ended and quickly adjusted himself.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Fang Heng quickly moved a few steps to the right before he could check his surroundings carefully.
“Bang! Bang Bang Bang!”
Immediately after, a large number of Lickers and fusion Tyrant forms also fell from the sky and heavily fell to the ground.
Tang Mingyue’s group was the last.
With a group of Lickers on the ground, Tang Mingyue and the others did not fall too badly and stood up one after another.
Looking around, everyone couldn’t help but be on guard.
Where was this place?
They were in a hall that was similar to the one they had been in before. The only difference was that the hall was squarish and much larger than the round hall they had been in before. There were also many round stone pillars in the hall.
Fang Heng immediately focused his eyes on the old man in front of one of the stone pillars.
The old man was also sizing them up.
The group of Lickers and the fusion Tyrant forms stood up one after another, surrounding the old man in the center under Fang Heng’s control.
“Invader?”
Warren looked at Fang Heng and the others. His gaze stopped on everyone’s faces for a moment. Finally, he reached out his hand and pointed at the bronze gate on the right in the distance and said, “No matter who you are, this is not a place you should be. There’s nothing you want in the Imperial mausoleum. Leave. The exit is over there. Take advantage of the fact that Sydney hasn’t returned yet.”
Tang Mingyue looked at Warren and asked, “Who are you?”
“Me?” Warren shook his head and laughed at himself. “My name is Warren. I’m just a guardian.”
“You were teleported here through the alchemy magic array, which means you’ve already met Sydney. I didn’t expect him to be unable to do anything to you.”
Warren waved his hand and said, “Hurry up and go. Sydney’s power is not limited to this. He will find you soon, and then more people will come to find you.”
Seeing that Warren had no intention of fighting, Fang Heng looked around and sized up the layout of the hall.
The hall was very wide, and the square walls, ground, and stone pillars were all covered with dense words and images.
At a glance, all he could see were alchemy runes and formulas.
From the looks of it, the runes and formulas were all written by him.
“You’re also an alchemist? What are you doing here?”
Warren shook his head and didn’t want to say more.
“Hey! Fang Heng, look over there!”
Sandy pointed at the door behind Warren, his face filled with shock as he shouted, “Isn’t that the demon-killing array?”
Everyone turned to look behind Warren.
The silver door was decorated with layers of alchemy runes.
Fang Heng’s eyes were focused on one of the alchemy magic arrays.
Right! That’s right!
The demon-killing array!
It was exactly the same as the demon-killing array he had obtained from the Land of the Saint’s inheritance in the Alchemy Society!
That’s strange, why would the demon-killing array appear here?
Tang Mingyue walked to Fang Heng’s side and whispered, “Fang Heng, could it be that the abyssal demons that the Saints spoke of are sealed here?”
“It’s possible.”
Warren’s expression changed slightly when he heard their conversation. He turned to look at Tang Mingyue with a strange expression, “Do you also know the demon-killing array? Wait, how do you know about the abyssal demons?”
Sandy retorted, “Hey! We were the ones who asked the question first. You didn’t even answer us. Why should we tell you?!”
Warren did not speak. He placed both of them in front of him and slowly put his palms together. A faint yellow mark appeared on his forehead.
At the same time, faint yellow light marks also appeared on the foreheads of Fang Heng, Tang Mingyue, and Sandy.
Warren retracted his hand and sighed, “I didn’t expect to see the Saint’s inheritor again in my lifetime.”
“You too?”
Fang Heng was surprised to see the pale yellow mark on Warren’s forehead.
Such a coincidence?
“Yes.” Warren had already guessed the identity of Fang Heng and the others in advance. He nodded and said, “It’s hard for you to find this place.”
“But you’re wrong. This is not the place where the abyssal demons are sealed. Sydney will catch up with us soon. I’ll escort you out of here.”
“Wait!”
Wangnet did not care about the Saint’s inheritance. He pointed at the silver door behind Warren.
“We’re here to find the tomb of the late human Emperor and the ‘demonic seed’. What’s behind that door? Is it the demonic seed?”
“No, let’s leave this place first. I’ll tell you the answer later.”
“No! You say first!”
Wangnet did not move. He stood where he was and stared at Warren, ready to fight at any moment.
Fang Heng took a look at the task prompt and didn’t move.
There was no notification to indicate that the mission was completed, so he naturally couldn’t leave now.
The journey here had been fraught with danger, and seeing that they were about to reach the end, his curiosity was piqued.
What secrets were hidden in the depths of the mausoleum related to the ‘demonic seed’?
“Warren, we want to know what’s behind the door. This is very important to us.”
“Alright.”
Seeing that they were insistent, Warren had no choice but to stop and look back at the door, lost in his memories.
“That was a long time ago. I was once a scholar in the Alchemy Society. By chance, I discovered the inheritance of the alchemy Saint, so I accepted the Saint’s guidance. At that time, I was still very young and ambitious. I wanted to completely destroy the sealed abyssal demons and bring eternal peace to the Empire.”
“Soon, as time passed, I gradually realized how insignificant my personal strength was.”
“It’s impossible for me to build mage towers all over the world and set up a large number of alchemy magic arrays to completely eliminate the demons. I’m facing too many obstacles.”
“But I didn’t give up. I hid my identity as a Saint for the time being and continued to study alchemy in the Alchemy Society. At the same time, I also secretly investigated the demonic seeds and abyssal demons.”
“I’ve been secretly collecting all the information related to the demons and asking for any valuable clues.”
“A few years later, I gradually began to find out more about it.”
“I’ve heard that the Emperor who founded the Empire, Andrast, had once absorbed the power of the demonic seed. It was with that power that she established the Empire.”
“After Her Majesty’s death, there was no news of the demonic seed. At the same time, I’m also rather concerned about the fact that Her Majesty has spent a great deal of effort on the construction of the Imperial mausoleum.”
“Later, I found out from the records of the Alchemy Society that Her Majesty had once set up a special magic array in the Imperial mausoleum to seal the evil spirits.”
“So I guessed that the Imperial mausoleum might be related to the demonic seed.”
