Chapter 631 "Life Return" Ceremony (Third Update Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Is it an alien space?" Douglas also thought that this place would always be a gray hall, a black gate with a gray hall, and a black gate, and there would be no other changes, so he was a little stunned when he saw this world of trees.
Fernando flew in first: "It seems that in addition to the gray hall, there are many worlds similar to Xenoplane spaces in the 'World of Doors', and I don't know if there are also intelligent beings."
"I tend to be a different kind of undead, just like the one in front of me." Douglas observed the environment and made a rough guess.
At this time, the seven headless dwarves carried a gray coffin much longer than their bodies to Fernando and Douglas, and a dull voice came out of their stomachs: "Are you princes?"
"Huh?" Douglas examined his defenses and looked at them inquiringly.
"A prince with a head is not a good prince, and the princess will scold us." The headless dwarf in the front said with a swollen stomach.
Douglas said funny: "It's better to have no head?"
"If you don't have a head, you won't be troubled, if you don't have a head, you won't be sad, and if you don't have a head, you won't worry about your appearance......" A hoarse female voice suddenly came out of the gray coffin, and the lifeless feeling around it suddenly poured in from the gap, condensing into black gas, causing the death force inside to rise rapidly, and soon reached the level of legend.
With a snap, the lid of the gray coffin was lifted, and a headless woman wearing a pure white court dress turned over and sat up, wearing a strange necklace made of red apples on her chest.
This chain may seem funny, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a human face on each apple, namely seven gray dwarf faces and a round girl's face, which makes people shudder.
"Give me your heads! Give me your heads!" The headless woman wailed bitterly, and the rich breath of death began to spread, and soul-destroying sound waves rippled.
Fernando looked at all this expressionlessly, and suddenly said, "Boring."
Syllable!
The sound of lightning striking the ground came out, and the surrounding tens of kilometers were shrouded in a "forest" made of thunder, and the headless princess turned to ashes along with the forest!
"Headless? I think I've seen this custom." Douglas recalled the inexplicable source of familiarity, "When developing the Solar Islands, I once met the indigenous people of several tribes, who believed that the human head was a symbol of life, and if there was a head after death, disaster would occur, so every time before burial, the head of the deceased would be cut off and burned with flames, which was very similar to the situation just now."
Fernando did not participate in the Solar Islands development operation, and while listening to Douglas's explanation, he frowned slightly and said, "Is it possible that we are in a dream or in a fantasy that our familiar things will evolve into all kinds of weird things?"
"I am the legendary peak of the astrological system, if even I can't distinguish between dreams and illusions, it may only be a move at the level of the God of Truth, and the 'gods' at this level don't talk about the question of existence or non-existence, is it necessary to use this roundabout method?" Douglas said calmly but confidently, "This is the necromancer world, and the phenomenon related to reflecting death may be its unique place, and we need to study its principles and laws."
A cold wind drifted by, and a hoarse and miserable female voice suddenly sounded behind them:
"Give me your heads! Give me your heads!"
The female voice gradually changed its tone, and the ashes on the ground gathered in a whirlpool, and it actually condensed into a headless figure again!
However, this time instead of a white court dress, she is wearing a white robe and holding a platinum scepter in her hand!
"This monster......" Fernando roared in annoyance.
Douglas said solemnly with a smile: "Benedict III, who has no head, seems to be much more handsome."

In the gray wilderness full of tombstones.
Lucian was divided into two purposes, galloping with the Rhein while analyzing the crown of the "ancient mummy", this legendary item seemed to have been specially handled by the Lich King, not as easy to crack as rough refinement, Lucian estimated that it would take at least two or three hours to hope.
"Wait a minute." Rhein spoke without warning.
Lucian stopped and let go of the arm that was supporting Rhine: "Mr. Rhine, have you found anything?"
Rhine moved his hands and feet, as if he had eliminated some of his weakness, and the blood prince's recovery ability was indeed perverted: "Have you noticed the patterns on these tombstones?"
"Isn't it the pattern of the ancient Meshket Empire?" The Meshket Empire is one of the three ancient magical empires, occupying the area south of the current Gusta Empire, and its magic patterns are undoubtedly one of the basic contents of arcane.
Rhein leaned down, his slender fingers rubbing the simple and mysterious pattern on the gray tombstone: "This is the pattern of the early Meshket Empire, because it is not much different from the middle and late periods, and the effect is similar, so only an observer like me who studies history can distinguish it."
"Is there anything special?" Although Lucian was very anxious to rush to the location marked by Muskillen, Rhine was willing to waste precious time here, and there should be a reason why it was worth it, so he asked in the psychic connection.
Rhine smiled calmly: "Finding what Maskelin left behind is to crack the secrets of the 'World of Doors' and the secrets of monsters, and now that we have clues, we naturally can't let them go, we can't reverse the purpose and method. These patterns are not very special, but show that the entire group of tombstones belongs to the early ancient Meshket Empire."
"But this 'early' is connected to the diagonal tombstones everywhere, which reminds me of the most famous custom in the early days of the Meshket Empire, the 'return of life' ceremony."
"'Return to the Source' ceremony?" Lucian remembered this famous ritual in the history of necromancy.
Rhine elegantly took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers: "Yes, the people of the early Meshket Empire generally believed that there was an extremely powerful intelligent creature at the beginning, the most perfect life, with a vast spiritual light, he used his own blood to create humans, elves, dragons and other races, so he disappeared in the long river of time.
"The early funerals of the ancient Meshkets followed this concept, using spiritual wood to make giants and bury them in the center of the cemetery, and each deceased only left clothes in his own grave, and his body was filled into the wooden giant, hoping to merge with each other after death and become an existence close to the 'first'.
Lucian recalled the necromancy he knew and nodded slightly: "That's true. Could it be that the words 'someone once came in' written on the shredded paper refer to a legendary magician from the ancient Meshket Empire?"
"There is a certain possibility, but it's hard to imagine that such a legendary magician would arrange such a large-scale cemetery group to do this after working hard to venture in? Lucian, you should be very clear that the necromancer world truly corresponds to the main material world, but the location will become chaotic, and if this law is extended to the 'world of doors', can we think that this is a reflection of the different customs of death in the world of doors?" Rhine dropped the soft handkerchief and smashed the tomb and coffin lid open, and sure enough, there was only a black coat inside.
Lucian thought for a moment: "Very logical reasoning, what does that monster represent? It can't be the fear of death in the heart of every intelligent being, right? And I prefer the mysterious existence of the necromancer."
When he spoke of "in his heart", Lucian suddenly felt a sense of excitement and vaguely remembered something, but it was still a little short of seeing through the fog, so he frowned and thought hard, perhaps the difference on the surface covered the "appearance" of the memory, so he couldn't find a similar event.
"In short, monsters are things that can be followed." Rhine smiled and said, "Just wait for Maskelin's relics to give us more clues."
Lucian sighed: "Even if I finally figure out what a monster is and how it came about, for me, the biggest mystery is why it can exist in this way, and what arcane principle is it based on."
"You are getting more and more of a great arcanist." Rhein laughed.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, as if some monster was about to drill out of the ground, and the tombstones collapsed one after another.
Rhine laughed: "It seems that the 'Originator' here has 'evolved' into a powerful undead, Lucian, it's up to you, if not, I will lend you legendary items."
A dangerous and eerie aura filled the air, and with a pop, the tombstones scattered, the dirt splattered, and a huge blue-black arm stretched out from the ground.
Then, a blue-black giant tens of meters tall suddenly sat up, and his arms, chest, abdomen, and head could be seen densely packed with complete intelligent life, including humans, dwarves, dragons, elves, and fishmen, all of which together formed the giant's body.
The giant's eyes opened suddenly, dark red flames jumped, and there was no dead silence in his vision, and there was no trace of life.
Lucian took Rhein away from the blue-black giant with a "precise teleportation", and his heart palpitated inexplicably at the lifeless ashes, which was the fear that came from the heart of every intelligent life.
"It's only the level of the first level of legends, Lucian, you can't beat this slow and unintelligent guy, right? Hey, its heart is made up of the 'Fountain of Youth', no wonder Maskilin said there are many surprises here." Rhine's weakness has not subsided, but his vision is very accurate.
"Fountain of Youth?" In the psychic connection, Lucian solemnly repeated, this is the material that can be used to hold legendary life-extending rituals!
"Atomic fission!"
Boom!
The huge fireball erupted at the blue-black giant's head, quickly covering it, destroying everything around it, rolling into a mushroom cloud and rising.
"Simple and rough......" Rhein commented.
Lucian condensed the "Scepter of Time and Space" in his hand, preparing for subsequent control, and suddenly, he remembered something: "Mr. Rhine, I also saw similar tombstones and patterns in the 'Resting Place' dominated by the Revenant, does this mean that some of his hidden magic is related to the 'First'?"
Rhine pondered for a moment: "Maybe he has refined his body into the 'original body', it seems that his true strength is stronger than he shows."
