Chapter 565 Artifact

Without any hesitation, Ryan walked towards the ruined palace.

Suddenly, a black plant shaped like a pitcher plant opened its two sharp black leaves and bit Ryan's calf fiercely.

But the next moment, a metal spike rose from the ground in advance, pierced its newly opened mouth, and quickly crushed it into pieces.

This small movement did not affect Ryan's pace at all, and he continued to walk forward without haste.

However, Ryan's sight was slightly deviated, because he found that the black pitcher plant turned into wisps of light black smoke and slowly floated towards the palace.

"The evil demon has a certain attraction effect on the evil spirit."

"Just like the clones formed by other evil demons, there is a natural induction." Ryan watched this scene silently and thought in his heart.

Some thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ryan continued to walk inside.

Along the way, he was constantly attacked by plants contaminated by evil spirits, but with his current strength, these things naturally did not cause him any trouble, and could not even hinder his steps.

Until he arrived in front of the palace gate, the evil spirit in front of him had formed a light black vortex that was visible to the naked eye, hovering above the palace.

If someone below the epic level came here, Ryan was sure that the strong evil spirit in front of him would directly cause the other party to mutate quickly.

Looking inside through the damaged palace gate.

There was a colorful vortex inside, which confined Thorson Glenn, who was lying flat, inside.

The strange weapon above the vortex, which Ryan guessed was the key of time, was slowly rotating above, and releasing crystal clear and graceful smoke-like energy to the bottom.

At this time, although the black evil spirit still lingered around the last emperor, his eyes were closed and he had a peaceful expression, which was very different from his previous fierce appearance.

However, Ryan looked around carefully, but he did not find the figure of the goblin princess, Emora Glenn. He did not know whether her spirit had dissipated or was hiding somewhere.

But it seemed that it had dissipated.

After observing for a while, Ryan focused his attention on the Key of Time on the head of Thorson Glenn, the last emperor of the goblins.

This time, the Key of Time was not a phantom like before, but a real existence. The lower end was vertical like a sword, and the upper end was a hollow ring.

At the bottom of the ring, there was only a little bit of shiny sand like fine sand.

Ryan could sense that these tiny crystal particles seemed to have some kind of magical power.

It seemed that it was precisely because of these crystal grains of fine sand that Thorson Glenn or the evil demon was restricted.

".The amount of crystal sand inside seems to be a little less than when Emora first appeared." Ryan recalled carefully and thought.

After a while, he closed his eyes again and used his huge mental power to sense it again carefully.

"Sure enough, there are still thirty-two crystal grains left."

"If one grain represents a day, it just represents a little over a month."

"But if the Key of Time in front of you is already real,

then isn't it?" "Why did the goblin princess Amora leave me to find the real Key of Time?"

Ryan frowned slightly, thinking for a while, and shook his head again.

For a moment, he couldn't figure it out.

After a while.

As if he had made a decision, Ryan looked at the Key of Time in front of him again, his eyes were much firmer, and he stretched out his hand and slowly stretched it over.

He had been thinking for a long time just now, and there was always a feeling in his heart that the key to everything seemed to be on the Key of Time in front of him.

Although this thing is the key to imprisoning the evil demon, it is also the key to decrypting it.

Ryan decided to touch it lightly.

Because at Ryan's level, some ideas or thoughts can no longer be described as a whim.

In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that at the level of a full moon wizard, many thoughts are like prophecy, with guidance from the dark.

As Ryan's fingers gently touched the 'Key of Time', the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened!

In his mind, a surge of information flowed in, and pictures like slides appeared in Ryan's mind.

After a long time, Ryan opened his eyes, his eyes were full of shock, and he murmured: "So that's it."

It turned out that this was not the artifact 'Key of Time' in ancient legends, but one of the sub-keys of the 'Key of Time', which only had a small part of the effect of the real artifact 'Key of Time'.

But it also has the effect of returning life or a single object to a state at a certain moment before.

"Can it interfere with the law of time in a small range?" Ryan looked at the sub-key of the Key of Time in surprise.

This kind of thing involving the law of time can naturally be called an artifact, even if it is just a sub-key.

It is not difficult to imagine how powerful the real artifact Key of Time would be!

However, even if it is a sub-key, it naturally has a price to exert this kind of power.

And the price is not ordinary high!

In addition to the fact that the controller needs to have strong mental support, that is, at least a full moon wizard, each grain of time sand condensed will consume one day of the caster's life.

In addition, the strength of the target is also the key to affecting the effect.

The stronger the enemy, the more time sand is consumed to achieve the same effect.

"But even with such a magic weapon, can't the evil demon be defeated?" Ryan thought of another question.

"Yes, the evil demon has existed in this world for who knows how many years. If we go back to a certain time point before, at most we can imprison it, but we can't destroy it."

"Even if you are strong enough to exchange the existence time of the evil demon one to one, it is impossible to turn back time for ten thousand years."

Soon, Ryan found the answer in some images left in his mind by the secondary key.

In addition, he discovered something.

"It turns out that the Key of Time was originally controlled by Thorson. The body deeply infected and combined by the main body of the evil demon, if you want to go back in time, with the strength of the goblin princess Amora, it is no longer possible."

"The only way is to restrict it as much as possible."

Seeing this, Ryan couldn't help but nodded.

This was considered to have solved a doubt in his heart.

Why did Amora, the goblin princess who possessed the secondary key of the artifact Key of Time, fail to save her father Thorson.

After concentrating on thinking for a while, this time, Ryan directly grasped the secondary key of the Key of Time. The next moment, the crystal gravel inside all turned into wisps of crystal smoke, further solidifying the colorful light shrouding Thorson.

Then, Ryan took off the secondary key of the Key of Time.

Because the power of the time gravel inside was still reinforced on Thorson, taking off the secondary key at this time would not let the evil demon escape.

"In this way, I can follow the guidance of the secondary key and have a chance to find the real artifact, the Key of Time."

At this time, Ryan suddenly thought of something, and his figure flashed and he came to the side hall.

The items inside had gone through tens of thousands of years, and the witch array had long been destroyed by the power of the evil demon, so both the books and the parchment had already turned into ashes.

However, Ryan did not stop. He walked straight into the depths of the side hall until he stopped at the door of a room.

From the general decoration and environment, it can be vaguely seen that this was originally a study.

To be precise, this was once the study of the goblin princess Amora.

At this time, the tables and chairs originally made of precious wood had long been decayed, but some metal ornaments such as gold and silver were still preserved except for a thick layer of dust.

"It should be here."

Ryan walked in and came to the collapsed desk and bookshelf inside, but found nothing.

"This last floor, even the memory crystal can't be preserved?" Ryan looked at the two traces that had turned into white powder and sighed.

If the memory crystal was not damaged, it would be able to solve many mysteries of the ancient goblin period.

Suddenly, he felt the ground shake, and a low sound of gears turning came from above. The whole floating city seemed to have undergone some changes.

"Huh? The startup was successful?"

Ryan raised his eyebrows and was quite surprised.

He thought that even if Hiram was faster, it would take at least half a month to repair and start the floating city again.

Unexpectedly,

Ryan's figure flashed and disappeared.

When Ryan appeared again, he had already appeared in the main control room on the negative fourth floor.

Since he entered the full moon wizard, the use of "Shadow Shuttle" has become more and more handy. The original large mental consumption has become much less burdensome for him at present.

Hiram was not surprised to see Ryan suddenly appear out of thin air.

The big noise of the floating city restarting would naturally alarm Ryan.

"My Lord Iron Throne, the anti-gravity device itself is not damaged. I have just started it, but the main energy core of the main power device is gone." Hiram wiped the sweat from his forehead and said quickly.

"Huh?"

"The original main power device of the floating city was mainly driven by the 'Demon Heart'. The powerful radioactive energy of the Demon Heart was used to drive such a huge floating city."

"Now after tens of thousands of years, the energy of the Demon Heart has dissipated and turned into powder." Hiram frowned and said.

"Is there no substitute?" Oger on the side couldn't help asking.

"No, it is said that the Demon Heart was obtained from a high-level demon that invaded this world tens of thousands of years ago. It is impossible to exist now." Hiram shook his head and said.

Radioactive energy?

Ryan couldn't help but think about it, as if he thought of something.

"That is to say, the floating city can now float, but it can't move?"

"Relying on auxiliary power, it can move slowly, but it can't move quickly, some powerful ones." Hiram explained.

At this time, Sword Saint Tirion suddenly rushed into the negative fourth floor, with a serious face, and said:

"Lord Iron Throne, emergency, Dragun Empire Tamriel has undergone drastic changes, and the ancient evil demons sealed by the Goddess Church have broken the seal. At present, most of the imperial capital has fallen."

"Huh?" Ryan's pupils shrank, and a strong mental wave spread out.

"When did it happen?"

"The Federation received the news half an hour ago." Sword Saint Tirion said immediately.

I saw Ryan think for a moment and then disappeared on the spot.

At the same time.

Imperial capital Tamriel.

The whole city was filled with smoke and dust, and the sky was covered with a lot of black ash, which included both black evil spirits and black smoke from burning houses.

There were cries, swords clashing, and roars everywhere!

The battle around Cologne Cathedral was the core and the most critical. However, the black evil spirit had covered most of the imperial capital. Even the palace, with its complicated and layered witch array, could not stop the evil spirit from infecting it, and most of it was destroyed.

A sleeping adult red dragon was also infected by the evil spirit, and was surrounded by black air. The pervasive black evil spirit was drilling into the red dragon's body through the gaps in its scales, its nostrils, and even its mouth.

"Ah! Help me, Straz!" The red dragon kept showing a look of pain.

Then, the red dragon's huge dragon pupils suddenly turned black, and then it turned around and attacked the imperial guardians.

After being thoroughly infected, the dragon's combat power has at least been raised by one level. Even if two imperial guardians join forces, they can defeat opponents who are not afraid of injury or death.

But the problem is that the half plane below the palace has been lost, and those five-colored dragons that did not have time to evacuate and were still sleeping have been infected by the evil demon in their sleep.

One dragon after another, roaring and struggling, was infected by the evil spirit, turned into accomplices of the evil demon, and attacked the imperial dragon knight in the air.

The situation deteriorated rapidly!

"Retreat quickly! Your Highness Menia, we can't hold on for long."

"The power of the evil demon has been further strengthened after infecting many creatures, and now it can't be resisted. "

Looking at the imperial people running and crying below, and the giant dragons being infected one after another in front of her, the Red Queen Menia's heart seemed to be bleeding. In

the distant sky, outside the fifth ring of the imperial capital.

Claire was riding on the blood-feathered horned beast, holding Ryan's mother Emma and father Old Ryan in each hand, while below was a huge greyhound war dog carrying a little girl and shuttling through the panicked fleeing crowd.

In mid-air, Claire's eyes were always focused on Mint below, but in her heart, she was worried about Lagre.

Because she and Lagre had split up before, she was in charge of Ryan's family, and Lagre was in charge of picking up Jenny. F.

However, something seems to have gone wrong with Lagre.

This worries her.

On a street in the second ring of the imperial capital,

a barbarian girl wearing tight leather armor and holding a huge shield was seen tying a plump woman with green light all over her body to her back and breaking through the front.

Due to the promotion of Ryan's status, the beautiful woman Jennifer has become quite famous in the business circle of the imperial capital. When the incident happened, she was invited to discuss cooperation in the mansion of an earl.

When Lagre found Jennifer, the power of the evil demon had already erupted, and the surrounding area was full of various people, soldiers and even many high-level knights who had been infected and turned into minions of the evil demon.

"Dang!"

After blocking the slash of a knight surrounded by black energy, Lagre hit the opponent with her shield, blasting him away, and continued to rush forward.

"Lagre, put me down. If you carry me on your back, it is very likely that both of us will not survive."

"Put me down. Only then will you have a chance to escape!" The beautiful woman Jennifer said weakly.

She was just an ordinary person, and her resistance to evil spirits was naturally very weak, or even zero.

If she had not carried a protective magic weapon amulet "Natural Healing" given by Ryan, I am afraid that the trace amount of evil spirit in the air now would be enough to infect her.

But even so, she felt that she could not hold on for much longer.

Jennifer could feel that a dark and evil force was invading her body through the green light protection.

"Don't give up, Jennifer, I believe we can definitely escape." The barbarian girl Lagre dodged the attack from one side again and said quickly.

Most of her attention was focused on the sudden appearance of the demonic power on the ground, which looked like octopus tentacles.

If these things had not been elusive on the street, she would have escaped with Jennifer long ago.

These demonic tentacles could easily penetrate houses and infect knights, which made her extremely afraid.

Suddenly, four or five black demonic tentacles as thick as buckets appeared in front of her, cutting off the entire street in front!

"Not good!"
