i have a museum of curiosities

Ivy smiled and waved, and Zhang Ye crawled out of the sarcophagus.

The cemetery of true spirits is very similar to the cemetery of ashes, except that there is no life breath here, and there is dead silence everywhere. Even the crooked neck trees in the cemetery of ashes are lifeless petrified trees here.

Zhang Ye followed behind Ivy and walked all the way to the Chuanhuo sacrificial field in the True Spirit Cemetery.

A tall man in black robe was waiting quietly at the place where the bonfire used to be.

"It's you?!"

Zhang also recognized at a glance that the other party was the black-robed man who gave him the ever-changing ring in the ruins of Atreya!
"Master Artuban, they have been brought here."

Ivy bowed respectfully to the man in black to salute, then made a face at Zhang Ye, and consciously retreated into the distance.

"Atuban? Death God Artuban?! You are..."

Zhang Ye stared dumbfounded at the black-robed man in front of him, a little messy.

"Why, is my image very unconvincing?"

The voice of the man in black was as mysterious and gloomy as before.

"Uh……"

Zhang Ye looked at the other party's appearance in a black robe, and was speechless for a while.

Isn't this image the appearance of the Western Grim Reaper...

I'll go, is this fucking a clue... I missed it perfectly!

However, no matter what the other party said, they were also the indigenous gods of the Northland continent, and might even be the ceiling of combat power among the indigenous gods!Zhang also didn't dare to show the slightest impatient expression.

"Lord Reaper... are you looking for me?"

"Every administrator of the Rare Museum is my believer." Artuban said, "This has always been the case in Northland."

"What... do you mean?"

"You don't belong to Norseland." Artuban said indifferently: "You are an outsider, but you are also the curator of the Museum of Rare Treasures. Only the Museum of Rare Treasures can ignore the boundaries of the heavens and worlds and travel freely."

"You know all about it."

"Nothing that happened in Northland can escape my eyes." Artuban's tone was calm, but exuded an unusually confident temperament.This kind of self-confidence immediately affected Zhang Ye, and even gave him the illusion that he could do everything easily and effortlessly!
Sure enough, it is worthy of being the "god" of the mainland. This convincing power is really surprising.

Zhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Is there anything you need me to do?" Zhang also asked tentatively.

"I need you to accompany me to fight against the moon god."

"What? Against the Moon God?!"

Zhang couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Are you playing with me? That is the majestic Moon God! God... I am a mortal, how can I have the qualifications to participate in this level of contest?! Let alone the Moon God, I am a pawn in his hand Playing around..."

At that moment, Zhang ignored the other party's attitude, and told Ariel's plan all at once.

Artuban did not interrupt Zhang Ye's complaints, perhaps he also knew that Zhang Ye had indeed paid a lot in this game against the Moon God.

"Nothing that happens in Northland can escape my eyes."

This is Artuban's answer.

But this time, Zhang was not infected by that confident force.

"So, you know all these things?"

"It's clear."

"Then why didn't you stop her?" Zhang Ye's tone contained obvious resentment and resentment.

"If you want to stop the Moon God, you have to do it once and for all." Artuban's tone remained flat.

"I don't quite understand..." Zhang Ye frowned.

"Which side do you think Ariel belongs to?" Artuban asked back.

"Of course it's the Moon God's side..."

Zhang Ye said bitterly, but was suddenly taken aback.

If Ariel is really a pawn of the Moon God, why would Artuban ask such a question?Isn't this inconsistent?No, this just shows that... Ariel might not be from the Moon God at all!

One side of this game is the "advent faction" represented by the indigenous gods of Norseland and the moon god, while the other side is the "prevention faction" represented by the museum of rare treasures and Atuban, the god of death, who try their best to prevent the advent of the moon god.

At least so far, no third-party factions have emerged.

Then if Ariel is not a pawn of the "Advent Faction", then she can only be a member of the "Prevention Faction".

Isn't this Nima is Mission Impossible? !
"It seems that you have noticed." Artuban's voice seemed to be more gentle, "Ariel has been mine from beginning to end."

"Well...but she killed so many administrator candidates!" Zhang Ye frowned.

"I ordered it." Artuban said indifferently, "I am the god in charge of death, without my permission, do you think they can die easily?"

Yup!

In Northland, Artuban, the god of death, is the god in charge of death!So whether the administrator candidate can die, when to die, how to die... It's all up to the big boss Artuban!

"So...Ariel seems to be massacring administrator candidates for the plan of the moon god's coming, but it is actually your order?" Zhang Ye's eyes widened, "But...why? Why do you have to Is it okay to kill those candidates?"

"What do you think my strength comes from?" Artuban asked back.

Nonsense, the god of death, the god of death, naturally comes from the power of death.

Uh……

Zhang Ye scratched his head. Although he understood what the other party meant, he still felt that it was too cruel.

Artuban seemed to have seen through his mind, and waved his slender fingers lightly.

The originally empty Fire Transmission Sacrificial Site was instantly filled with people.

There are men and women, old and young.

"These are the candidates who have been 'killed' by Ariel for thousands of years, and there are more in the square outside."

Zhang Ye looked around, still very puzzled in his heart.

Even if the souls of these administrator candidates and Atuban believers are still there, it cannot change the fact that their bodies are dead.Could it be that he can wantonly kill his own believers in order to deal with the Moon God?
What is the difference between Atuban, the god of death, and those indigenous gods who plan to sacrifice millions of lives to summon the moon god?

"But... After all, so many people died!"

"But it finally made me wait for you. That's enough." Artuban's voice seemed a little cheerful, and Zhang felt a little nervous.

"Then..." Zhang also thought for a while, and said with some bitterness: "Since she is yours, why did you make me suffer so many things that I shouldn't have to suffer, and waste so much time on me?"

"Only with hatred in your heart can you gain greater power after death." Artuban patiently explained, "If she hadn't done so many things, the resentment in your heart would not be so strong after you 'learned the truth'."

"So... this is your plan too?"

"Yes." Artuban replied.

"you……"

"There is a secret that I have guarded for thousands of years, and it is time to tell you now—the Moon God is not an indigenous god in Norseland."

Atuban's words made Zhang Ye, who was a little displeased, froze on the spot.

Not an indigenous god? !
"That is……"

"You can regard him as a strong man of some kind of advanced civilization."

Zhang also nodded, as if he understood something.

It is precisely because the moon god is not an indigenous god, so if he wants to come to Northland, he needs to sacrifice millions of souls.

But the problem is...

Did the native gods know about this?

"Don't be confused, those brainless guys don't know the origin of the Moon God." Artuban obviously saw Zhang Ye's thoughts, "When the Moon God came to Northland, the ancestors of those guys were just some blood-drinking people. Where's the monster!"

Atuban's words undoubtedly revealed a lot of information to Zhang Ye.

but……

"Then how do you know the origin of the Moon God?"

"First of all, I don't know his origin, I only know that he is a foreigner." Artuban stretched out two slender fingers, and continued: "Second, I am probably older than Moon God. Before He came to Northland, I have lived in this land for thousands of years."

"Ok?"

Zhang also keenly captured a point in Artuban's discourse.

"You just said... that the moon god has 'come down' to Northland?"

"To be precise, it is 'has descended'." Artuban said flatly, "If I remember correctly, the moon god has descended three times in total. When the first time descended, the ancient ancient dragon, the original ruler of Northland, was almost extinct. ; In the second coming, the complete continent was divided into three parts, and the belief in Luna was established; in the third coming, the ancient Birch Empire was destroyed, and the Museum of Rare Treasures came suddenly... You probably heard about the following things pass."

"It's actually like this..."

Atuban's description of the moon god overturned Zhang Ye's cognition. It seemed that the mysterious moon god was not only unpredictable in strength, but also brought destruction and division every time he came.

Such a Moon God really cannot be allowed to descend easily!

"Let's get down to business, I'll answer your last doubt, and you have to give me an answer." Artuban said suddenly.

"Uh..." Zhang Ye scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

"As I said before, I am the god of death, and I am also the original god of the entire Norseland. My power is not enough to move mountains and seas, but I control the life and death of all my believers. In other words, as long as you sincerely believe in me, I want to If you let him die, he will definitely die. If I want him to live, he will not die. So, when the moon god is removed, I will resurrect all those candidates who died in vain! But now, I still need to rely on their death. Strengthen my power of death."

Oh, so that's what happened...

From this point of view, Artuban also played a big game of chess!He really deserves to be an old antique who has lived for an unknown number of years. This kind of forbearance and cunning really makes people shudder.

Perhaps, if you want to play against the Luna God who brought disaster to the entire continent, you can't tolerate any mistakes!
At this point, Zhang can almost figure out Artuban's strategy and Ariel's identity as a double agent.

Start at the beginning.

As a native Norseland intelligent life, Artuban possesses the ability to control the life and death of believers.Suddenly one day, a powerful and intelligent extraterrestrial life—Moon God—comes down.With His coming, the original ruler of Northland, the Immortal Ancient Dragon, was slaughtered under his control, and a new civilized order began to be established.

Later, I do not know how many years later, the moon god came again for unknown reasons, the original complete continent was divided into three, and the "Luna Religion" with the moon god as the belief was established, and the indigenous gods also knew about it. The mighty power of this ancient mighty power.

With the change of civilization, the moon god descended for the third time, and this time, his appearance directly destroyed the ancient civilization of Birch Empire.

Then the Museum of Rare Treasures came suddenly, and the indigenous gods discovered that their divine power was constantly passing away with the arrival of the Museum of Rare Treasures.Perhaps there was a conflict between them and the museum during the period, and the unfathomable strength of the museum made them, whose power was constantly passing away, feel fear.

Therefore, the indigenous gods of Northland united and planned to summon the moon god who had just left.

For unknown reasons, this summoning required a blood sacrifice of millions of souls.

Artuban, the god of death who has been a bystander, finally couldn't sit still. He reached an agreement with the Museum of Qizhen in private, lending his power of death to the museum administrator to jointly fight against the moon god, and at the same time demanded that the museum of Qizhen never against him.

Altreyer, the first curator of the museum, signed a contract with Artuban.

So far, under the leadership of Altreyer, human beings united with dwarves, elves, dragons and other races to defeat the army of orcs who became the pawns of the indigenous gods.

The plan of the moon god to come again was shattered.The Atreya Empire was established, and the elves, dwarves and other races went to another continent to multiply and live, and the inheritance of the Museum of Rare Treasures began.

But although Luna was blocked from Noslan, his infiltration plan also quietly started.The most famous one is of course that He successfully "confused" Ariel, the last princess of Atreia, and asked her to secretly kill the administrator candidates selected by the Museum of Curiosities, silently weakening the museum and Artuban's power.

As everyone knows, Ariel has long been taken under Artuban's command, and has become one of the "Nine Kings" in the Cemetery of True Spirits.Once she becomes a follower of Artuban, and her life and death are controlled by Artuban, Ariel will naturally become a double agent.On the one hand, it silently carried out Luna's plan to kill the administrator candidate on the surface in order to deal with the museum and Artuban, but in fact it was secretly instructed by Artuban.On the other hand, she knew that the person Artuban really cared about was Zhang Ye, so under the instruction of Artuban, she deliberately set up many traps for Zhang Ye to fall into, so that when Zhang Ye "understood the truth", she would be happy. Hold grudges, so that when resurrected in the cemetery of true spirits, they can have enough power.

So far, most of the doubts have been solved.

"But I don't think I've become stronger..." Zhang also scratched his head in doubt.

"Yes, the current you are indeed still far behind." Artuban said mercilessly.

"Uh……"

"If you can retrieve your memory and open the seal of your body, you will be able to fight against the Moon God." Artuban continued.

"Memory? Seal?"

Zhang also couldn't help but think of what the "supervisor" of the museum who claimed to be the remnant soul said - he is the owner of the museum of rare treasures!
"I... can probably be sure that part of my memory is lost, but... what about the 'seal'?" Zhang Ye asked again.

Artuban didn't say anything this time, but stretched out his slender fingers, and lightly tapped the spiritual altar between Zhang Ye's eyebrows.

Zhang Ye wanted to dodge subconsciously, but Artuban's movements were obviously very slow, but he couldn't dodge.

"Om-"

The moment his finger touched his forehead, there was a strange buzzing sound!
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ye's eyes blurred, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was actually in an extremely empty space.

In the gray space stood seven extremely thick stone pillars reaching the sky, and each stone pillar was wrapped with several equally thick iron chains!At the ends of the interlaced iron chains, there is a metal lock with a strange shape hanging on each of them.

"This...this is..."

"This is your sea of ​​consciousness." Artuban's deep and cold voice came.

Zhang also looked around, but did not find the figure of the other party.

"Don't look at it, this is your sea of ​​consciousness, outsiders can't get in. I can only communicate with you through spiritual knowledge."

"I see...but what are those seven stone pillars?"

"It's your memory, ability and fate."

"...How can there be such a thing in my body?"

"Sorry, I don't know either."

"Then... what are those chains and locks?"

"seal."

"seal?"

"That's right. With seven locks, your identity is really curious. It seems that you have never been an ordinary person, and what you think of as ordinary is just a false memory."

Atuban's words made Zhang Ye very confused, but based on what he saw and heard along the way, and the attitudes of the people around him towards him, he probably understood something.

"My power can probably help you break a seal, but you have to promise me that you will do your best to deal with the moon god in this life!" Artuban's words fluctuated for the first time.

Zhang Ye was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you!"
