this……
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in surprise. Why is it a person?
"How could it be just one person?" Several knights even wanted to go forward to see, but were stopped by Lucille.
"Don't move! Don't come near..."
Go forward and take a look yourself.
I didn't expect that there was a big head just now, but suddenly a person appeared in the center after it was broken open!
When I walked closer, I saw that the other party was also chained, and the chains looked like they had been there for many years. I couldn't read the runes on his body, and they looked like some kind of symbols or marks or something like that.
But this person has indeed been dead for a long time.
Even the skin on his body has lost its original moisture, just like a dried corpse in the desert. This kind of thing is very common in the original desert. Many people are not killed by people but die of thirst after there is no water in the desert.
But why was he underground, and who was the person who just spoke to him?
At this moment, Lucille felt a mystery in her head. It seemed that some unknown things had appeared in this world transformed by miracles. If she hadn't come out this time, she probably wouldn't have seen it at all.
"This is a mummy, a bit like the ones originally found in the desert. I just don't know why it appeared here... and the runes on its body are weird. I don't know what they mean. It looks like the chains have been trapped for a long time." Lucille could only say what she could understand.
“There are actually people like this!”
"Could it be that he died a long time ago?" Linda suddenly asked among the students.
"Um?"
Lucille turned back.
Just then I saw Ignia also looking back.
These students were all brought up by her, and they are the ones she knows best. I think she mentioned before that one of them is very knowledgeable, etc.
"What are you talking about?"
Linda felt the gazes of the people around her, but she still mustered up the courage to speak.
"I've only read about it in books. Some of the refugees or captives who were captured in the desert were caught, and many were sold to unknown places. Some were even said to be taken as sacrifices, etc." Linda talked about what she had read in the books.
This kind of thing really happens.
Lucille had heard of similar things when she was still active in Adak. Those were the years when the ancient gods were secretly causing chaos and their followers were wandering around.
At that time, most of the kidnapped people were used as living sacrifices in order to summon the ancient gods or obtain the power of the ancient gods!
But later in a series of explorations by Lucille and Sean, they discovered that the ancient gods might have never cared about the things humans had to do. Tributes, sacrifices, etc. were not important... In their eyes, humans were dispensable.
But now the ancient god's system has been cleared.
Those things!
Lucille pushed the dried-up corpse aside. Perhaps because it had been kneeling for so long, the flesh and skin had already stuck to the ground. If it moved a little, the bones and flesh would fall off.
hiss~
The students behind him couldn't bear to see this scene, and only the Knights could bear it and rushed over to help.
"Ms. Lucille."
"Lift this thing away..."
At her command, several knights lifted the thing away, and found a ring where the corpse was kneeling, which looked like some kind of rune mark.
But it's blank inside!
"This thing looks like a magic circle."
Lucille squatted down and stroked the thing carefully.
"It is indeed some kind of old seal, but it no longer exists."
"ah?"
Everyone was puzzled.
"Dean, what does this mean?"
"This was indeed an old summoning seal, but it is useless now." Lucille stood up and carefully recalled the scene of her coming here.
The battle just now, that big-headed doll.
If the other party was really a huge guy, it would be impossible for him to be trapped here and unable to move, and to maintain such a large body, he could only keep looking for food or use magic, etc. The bones around him made him think that the werewolves brought the food to him, but now thinking about it carefully, it might also be that the werewolves brought it back for themselves to eat.
He only ate a little symbolically because there was a dead person inside and it would not be digested.
But this guy actually exists!
Lucille somehow felt that when the world changed, perhaps there was something left that had not been taken away. Even the God of Creation had not completely eliminated all the haze in the world. Perhaps he deliberately left these dark areas.
But no matter what, the darkness that was once buried underground is now beginning to emerge!
They appeared in an incredible way, and even without the influence of the ancient gods, they seemed to be able to survive in their own way.
An unimaginable black magic.
"This is dark magic!"
"Dark magic?"
Lucille didn't know how to name this thing, but she just said it was black magic based on its color.
"What's going on, Ms. Lucille?" asked a member of the Knights.
"I can't explain it yet, but this thing might be common in this unknown wasteland. This place was originally a vast desert, and many secrets are hidden beneath the desert. There was the Sun Temple back then, and all the massacres that took place beneath it."
A lot of things happened after this area was completely changed. What Lucille can be sure of now is that these things are definitely not isolated cases, and they may exist in other places.
"I'll report this to Prince Sean. You take the students back to the nearest city. Ignia, you'll be in charge of contacting the other student groups. If they've completed their assignments, they'll just need to prepare on the spot. The rest will likely require the Imperial Army to handle."
"Yes, Dean."
Igonia seemed to understand the importance of this matter, and nodded without saying anything more.
…
Then Lucille had the body wrapped up and she boarded the flying dragon and flew back towards the capital.
This matter must be told to Sean, because several countries will soon begin to occupy land in this area. If it is not handled properly, it is very likely that this unknown dark force will awaken.
I sped up, but it was still noon the next day when I returned to the palace...
The dried corpse gave off a disgusting smell and was stopped as soon as it entered the palace.
"Ms. Lucille."
"Go away, I don't have time to talk to you about this now..."
Lucille pushed the other person away and appeared at the entrance of the hall with the flying dragon.
At this moment, Sean, who was holding a meeting in the hall, heard the soldier who came to report the news rushing in.
"Your Highness, that Lucille witch rushed in directly!"
"ah?"
