i have a museum of curiosities

Prince Ariane seemed to like to see Zhang Ye frowning, and his face was a little gloating.

"What? Unexpected?"

"Hmph..." Zhang Ye snorted depressingly, but didn't speak.

As if he didn't see it, Prince Arian asked, "In your impression, what is the relationship between the Holy See of the Sun God and the Museum of Rare Treasures?"

Zhang also hesitated for a moment, and slowly said: "It should not be a hostile relationship."

Prince Ariane grinned, but did not speak.

Acquiesced?Are my previous inferences correct?
Zhang couldn't help being startled.

Prince Ariane turned around slowly, brushed his slender fingers lightly on the statue of Emperor Altrey, and said softly: "Atrea was originally a country without faith. But since Emperor Altrey From the moment he successfully signed a contract with the dragon clan and repelled the half-orcs by using the magic of the elves and the forging technology of the dwarves, as the supreme commander of the "Sky Dragon Knights", the Great Emperor has become the common belief of the entire Northland continent! "

I don't know!People are deified? !So...Emperor Altrey is the so-called...Sun God?

As if seeing the doubts in Zhang Ye's heart, Prince Ariane said with a smile: "The sun... has been regarded as the 'great mother' by countless races since ancient times. It radiates light and heat unsparingly, filling the whole world with light and warmth... What else can make all races and nations more dependent and revered than the sun?"

"So... the sun god Altreyer?" Zhang Ye frowned and asked back.

"The messenger of the sun is the messenger, my friend." Ariane chuckled and said, "Even if a person is deified, he can never be said to be the sun itself! The sun is supreme, and even gods cannot be compared with the sun... …do you understand?"

"Hmm... Altreyer is the messenger of the sun, and then?" Zhang Ye was taken aback when he said this, and then blurted out: "So what the Holy See of the Sun God worships is not Altreyer the Great, but the sun itself ?!"

"That's right." Prince Ariane said with a smile, "That's why the Atreya royal family has a rule since then: the Sun God Religion becomes the state religion, and the high priest is held concurrently by successive kings."

Zhang Ye was taken aback, and said, "So you belong to Atreia..."

"But... there is one only exception..." Ariane added, "That is me—not the king, but the high priest."

Zhang Ye finally understood the position of the Holy See of the Sun God now, that people who are emotional are the state religion!And the high priest is still the king, the king...does it need to be said, it is a religious tool to maintain the rule of the king!

"Then... what's going on with the Museum of Treasures and Treasures?" Zhang Ye asked with a frown.

Prince Ariane shook his head slightly, and said: "I don't know the origin of the Museum of Rare Treasures, but... at the bottom of the royal library, there is a file that records the secrets of Emperor Altrey, and that file , only successive kings are eligible to consult."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "The existence of the Museum of Rare Treasures...is related to Emperor Altreyer?"

Arian nodded and said, "That's right. The earliest legend about the Museum of Rare Treasures in the Northland Continent is related to the origin of Emperor Altreyer."

I 艸艸艸... Shocking Big Boobs, no, it's a secret!
"So... what do you want me to do?"

Zhang Ye not only frowned and asked back, he didn't think that Prince Ariane was so kind and would tell so many secrets unconditionally.

"You are not the only one interested in the secrets of the Museum of Rare Treasures and the administrators, are you?" Prince Ariane smiled mysteriously.

"You want me to find that dossier?" Zhang couldn't help frowning and said, "But Atreia was destroyed a thousand years ago!"

"That's right, my friend." Prince Ariane's expression turned cold instantly, "About the fate of my country... I know better than you! However, the Royal Library is different, my friend...there are Guarded by the most powerful guardian magic in Atrea, even after thousands or thousands of years, those classics are still placed on those bookshelves... Yes, I know your doubts... The paper of those classics is not ordinary Goods. I think you know what I mean, don't you?"

Zhang Ye opened his mouth wide, but in the end he could only nod slowly.

I don't care about Emperor Altrey or Atreya!But... After all, it's about the Museum of Rare Treasures. Even if it's not a museum of rare treasures in the same world, I still have to investigate, right?

"So, this is what you want me to do?" Zhang Ye said loudly.

"Yes." Prince Ariane nodded.

"Then you answer my last question, and I will agree to your request after you have answered my doubts!" ​​Zhang Ye said in a deep voice.

"Okay, let's talk about it." Prince Ariane stared straight at Zhang Ye, and said slowly: "We have never been enemies, have we?"

"That's right! We are not enemies." Zhang also nodded, "Then, please tell me: how to enter the 'Graveyard of True Spirits'?"

"Ah... the cemetery of true spirits! The home of true spirits, the forbidden place for the living, the sanctuary of the god of death..." Prince Ariane's face suddenly changed, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, "Can you tell me... why you are so Don't cherish your own life, want to enter such a ghost?"

Cottage!Do you think I want to? !If it weren't for the bloody mission request of a thousand knives... the ghost would want to go in, okay?Oh...it seems that there is nothing wrong with this sentence...

Seeing Zhang Ye's livid face and refusing to answer, Prince Ariane started pacing back and forth.

After a long time, Prince Ariane said slowly, "If...you really want to enter the Graveyard of True Spirits, I can tell you how to get in...but you must get the file back first!"

"Not negotiable?"

"Not negotiable!"

Zhang Ye curled his lips abruptly, and said in an extremely displeased voice, "Okay! Tell me where the Royal Library is, and I'll get the file back for you!"

"a wise decision!"

Prince Ariane chuckled, and suddenly stretched out his slender fingers to point to Zhang Ye's forehead.

"Go! I've 'put' the location in your mind...but the guardian magic there is too strong, I can only send you to the periphery..."

As Prince Ariane said, a dazzling white light flashed on Zhang Ye's body.

Zhang Ye: "I'm fucking... you should let me prepare..."

"No need to prepare... I will return your 'body' to you..."

As Prince Ariane's voice fell, Zhang Ye's body gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared completely under his angry eyes.
.
The familiar feeling of nausea and dizziness hit like a tide, and Zhang Ye only felt dizzy for a while, and his body was covered in cold sweat after a while.

The scene gradually became clearer, and Zhang also looked around subconsciously—the tall stone city wall not far away blocked his sight, and nearby was a stone step with no top, and the end of the stone step was shrouded in the familiar mist .

"There is also fog here?"

Zhang Ye was taken aback for a moment, and then he noticed that there was a thin layer of mist surrounding him!And his position is on a high platform of a city wall.Before he came back to his senses, his eyes were sore, and the familiar font appeared in front of his eyes again——

— High Walls of Atreia

"Atreya...the high wall...this shit can't be the city wall of the royal city, right? It's really...the stalk of the high wall of Losric in Black Soul 3!" Zhang couldn't help but pouted, a drop of sweat on his cheek Slowly sliding down, he pinched himself in disbelief.

"Damn! It hurts like hell..."

Zhang Ye covered the place where he was pinched, and squatted on the ground in an incredible way.

"What the hell... Could this be another illusion created by Ariane? How can I really go back to Atreia, which was destroyed 1000 years ago? And look at the soaring city wall in front of me, It definitely doesn't look like 'destroyed'... Is this what the Atreya King City looks like today?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Ye hurriedly looked behind him, the white mist shrouded the ground, and he couldn't see anything at all.

Just when Zhang Ye was about to continue complaining, a terrible roar suddenly came from the depths of the mist on the stone steps.

Zhang also swore that he had never heard such a terrifying roar!It's like scaring people's three souls and seven souls away...

Regardless of whether everything in front of him is an illusion or reality, it is not Zhang Ye's character to sit and wait for death.Looking at the long stone steps in front of him, Zhang Ye gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

"Tap-"

Zhang Ye's footsteps actually echoed.Only then did he suddenly realize that the surroundings were too quiet, so quiet that it was unbelievable!Although he has the experience of exploring the "Atreya Underground Prison" in the illusion, Zhang still dare not be careless.Because this is a world similar to "Black Soul", no one can guarantee what will happen in the next second, and no one knows what is hidden in the corner...

Subconsciously touched his waist, Zhang Ye found that he touched a familiar hard object.

"Chong-"

The long sword was unsheathed, and there was a crisp sword chant.

"Atreya soldier's long sword?" Zhang Ye was shocked, "Didn't it disappear after the flame demon was eliminated? No, no! This is clearly a weapon obtained in the illusion, how could it appear in... "

Before Zhang Ye finished speaking, there was an angry shout from the front steps, and then a man wearing the armor of an Atreian soldier appeared.

"Roar--"

With an indistinct roar, the man in soldier armor rushed towards Zhang Ye with a long sword in his hand.But the strange thing was that the man's running movements were a little stiff, and he looked like... a puppet on a string.

Zhang Ye subconsciously wanted to draw the broadsword from his waist to resist the soldiers' attack, but when he stretched out his hand to the side of his right waist, he found nothing.

Um?Even the "Atreya Soldier's Long Sword" is back, why is the broad sword gone?

But the incoming attack had already arrived, and Zhang didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly rolled back and dodged the opponent's stabbing attack.

Seeing that he missed a hit, the man raised his long sword again.Looking at that posture, it seemed that he was about to give Zhang Ye a diagonal chop.

Zhang Ye has also experienced quite a few battles. When he saw the opponent raising his long sword, he subconsciously thought of stomping his right foot and making a charge first.However, the posture has been set, and the right leg has already exerted strength, but the imagined scene of knocking the opponent back did not appear.

Although the soldier-like man was staggered by Zhang Ye's sudden blow, he quickly adjusted his figure and swept the long sword in his hand.

Zhang Ye set up his long sword angrily and blocked the opponent's attack, but he was very depressed in his heart: what's going on?Why is this trick so weak?Could this person resist my charge?
Zhang Ye gritted his teeth and blocked the opponent's long sword with his right hand, but his left hand quietly charged, and a thunder light quietly condensed in the palm of his left hand!
Since charging doesn't work, let's just use my strongest move [Thunder Gun]!

Two seconds later, a piercing "crash" sounded, and Zhang Ye already had a lightning bolt in the shape of a golden spear in his left hand!

The opponent was obviously taken aback, and hurriedly withdrew his strength to dodge backwards.But Zhang Ye obviously didn't intend to give the opponent a chance, he threw out his left hand in an instant, and the dazzling thunder flashed for a moment, and suddenly exploded in the opponent's chest...

A nauseating burnt smell woke up the stunned Zhang Ye. He looked at the charred corpse and the sticky blood clot in his left hand in disbelief...

He just killed a man, a living man!

"I... I killed someone?" Zhang also felt that his mind was blank.

How... is it a living person?Shouldn't it be...a living corpse that lost its mind and killed anyone it saw?Could it be that the people here have not been affected by the fog and thus become "fogged"? !

Why is it a living person? !

Zhang didn't know what kind of expression he should show at this time, what kind of reaction he should make, everything happened too fast.

"Puff-"

Zhang Ye sat down on the ground, the smell of burnt and blood filled his nostrils, and suddenly his stomach was overwhelmed, and he vomited uncontrollably...

Not long after, hurried footsteps came from the depths of the stone steps again, and Zhang Ye reluctantly turned his pale face to look over.

A pair of feet resembling sheep's hooves appeared first, followed by a strange creature with two horns on its head, tail trailing behind it, and a faint flame burning all over its body appeared in Zhang Ye's sight.

Flame demon?

This thought flashed across Zhang Ye's mind immediately, but then he frowned again.Because the creature in front of him was much smaller than the flame demon he saw in the illusion.The flame demon in the illusion is more than three meters tall, and the creature that looks like a flame demon in front of him is no taller than a human.

But in any case, whether it is the "devil horn" on the head or the flames burning on the body, it all proves that the evil creature in front of him is a demon!
If it was said that killing a living person made Zhang Ye sleepless, then dealing with a demon, he felt almost no guilt in his heart.

Zhang also didn't know why he had such an idea.Aren't they all living beings?
But Zhang Ye couldn't bear to think carefully, the demon had already found Zhang Ye.After a high-pitched scream, the demon rushed over.Looking at the speed, it is obviously much faster than the previous Atreya soldiers.

Thinking of the Atreya soldiers killed by him, Zhang Ye's heart tightened for a while, and he subconsciously glanced to the side.

It doesn't matter, but Zhang is also shocked.Because the body that was bombarded by the [Thunder Gun]... disappeared!

Not allowing Zhang Ye to think about it, the devil's sharp claws had already swung over, and Zhang Ye instinctively raised the soldier's long sword in his hand to block.

"Snapped--"

A dull impact sounded, and the soldier's long sword in Zhang Ye's right hand almost came out.

What a lot of strength!
Zhang Ye was taken aback, and there was a warning sign in his heart, so he had to put down his annoyance, fear and doubt temporarily, and held the hilt of the sword tightly with his left hand, making a gesture of holding the sword with both hands.

Seeing that Zhang Ye was able to easily block his own attack made the demon a little surprised. It didn't continue to attack, but quickly retreated half a step to keep the distance from Zhang Ye, and at the same time walked back and forth slowly, Seems to be looking for an opportunity to attack.

Zhang didn't dare to be careless. Facing an enemy he had never seen before, even an enemy with thinking ability, he couldn't be too cautious. After all, demons were not living corpses.

The devil is looking for an opportunity to attack, so why not Zhang Ye?

Why is it a strange enemy again... If I can know the enemy's information...

A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhang Ye's mind, and then he stared at the other person's body in frustration, without blinking his eyes.

—Little Devil Herald
——Imp, the lowest of the demon clan, has the smallest size and strength among demons, and can be easily defeated by well-trained fighters.

——It is said that demons are born in the dark flames of the abyss, so flames are the root of demons. As long as the flames on the demons are extinguished, the demons will cease to exist.

What?Is this still the lowest of the demon clan?Is this information just kidding me?Am I still "trained"?Why didn't I think it would be easy to win...

After silently complaining in his heart for a while, Zhang Ye was at ease.He didn't hesitate anymore, and directly swung down with a diagonal chop.

The little devil's vanguard was quite flexible, and he easily avoided Zhang Ye's diagonal strike by leaping to the left.But the corner of Zhang Ye's mouth curved into a triumphant smile.

I saw that the long sword that was originally slashing down suddenly turned around and swept across the little demon vanguard on the side.

"Puff - ho -"

As the soldier's long sword slashed across its neck, the little demon vanguard let out a low growl unwillingly, and then the flames on his body slowly extinguished, and his body suddenly shattered, and then turned into fly ash and disappeared.

The moment Zhang Ye relaxed, a strange red light suddenly appeared, and then "drilled" into his chest.

"Well--"

Zhang Ye let out a muffled groan, and a sharp pain swept through his body instantly.But the pain came and went quickly.But after a while, Zhang also felt that his body was normal, and he could no longer find the slightest abnormality.

"Just now... what happened?"

Zhang Ye muttered a few words in a low voice, but he couldn't help but think of the Atreian soldiers killed by him.But for some reason, after thinking about it this time, the sense of guilt and fear in his heart has become much smaller.

It is an indisputable fact that the Atreian Empire was destroyed 1000 years ago!Zhang also secretly said in his heart.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Atrea soldiers I killed earlier to be living people!Either an entity shaped by the illusion, or...

Zhang didn't think about it. The two consecutive battles seemed to go smoothly, but they also consumed a lot of his mind.

After a short rest, Zhang also looked up at the high stone steps.

"Two enemies have already appeared from there before, and I don't know what will happen if I wait any longer. Instead of passively waiting for the enemy to attack the door, it is better to take the initiative to explore."

Zhang also muttered something, and slowly took a step...
