Although he had confirmed from Miss Tata that there might be an exit nearby, Fang Yu was not in a hurry to go check it out immediately. He first tried to use the communication crystal to contact Alyssa and the others outside, but the communication crystal still failed.

A little reaction.

Fang Yu was a little speechless. He didn't know if there was something wrong with his communication crystal itself. Indeed, someone in the community had said that communication crystals were of sub-optimal quality. His previous communication crystal didn't have so many problems.

Fortunately, the communication crystal on Jita's side was also silent, so he gave up the idea a little bit.

Although he didn't know if the lich would come back. However, Fang Plover put away the communication crystal, looked at the altar in the center of the cave, thought for a while, and walked over. "Brother Ed." After so many things happened.

, Jita looked a little worried from behind and called him in a low voice.

Fang Yu shook his head at her, indicating that there was no need to worry. He had not forgotten all the strange things that happened when he approached the altar before, and of course he wanted to find out what was going on. Now that the lich was frightened away, he was about to

Take this time to check it out.

He turned around and walked to the altar. He had actually had the opportunity to get close to the altar more than once during the battle, but he had no time to pay attention to it. But now it seems that the altar itself is ordinary and boxy.

Square, it seems to be carved out of a whole piece of natural rock.

It's just that the Holy Sword of Moya, which was originally suspended in mid-air, has also disappeared at this moment. It is not known whether it was taken away by the lich, or if some other changes occurred during the battle.

He asked Tata about this. But Miss Goblin only shook her head, saying that it was filled with smoke and dust at the time, and she didn't know what happened.

At this moment, only the skeleton was left quietly on the altar. Due to its age, it was covered with dust and cobwebs. Fang Plover raised the lighting crystal, pushed aside the layers of mesh, and looked at the large and small objects below.

The round spiders dispersed in a flurry.

Out of respect for the deceased, he only checked carefully but still found many details. There were neat cuts on several ribs on the chest of the remains, where the sword was originally inserted, and the blade passed through the heart.

, a fatal blow.

A century has passed, and this skeleton still retains the same posture as at the last moment of its life, grasping the non-existent sword blade in the air with its hand, as if it is still looking for a chance of survival.

There was a ring on its ring finger. Fang Plover wiped the dust off the ring with a cloth, revealing only a bright silver wolf head.

He was slightly startled, subconsciously took a step back, and his heart moved. At this time, the cat lady was also walking to the stone platform, and circled around the altar and the square plover a few times. It raised its head and looked at the skeleton with sapphire-like eyes.

Called a few times.

The girl in the painting and Delise in her arms

This picture flashed through Fang Yu's mind, and he was suddenly stunned.

The afternoon on the canvas is quiet and peaceful, and the girl's expression is pure and innocent. But who would have thought that the owner of the painting would end up in this place?

Lying quietly in this dark and silent underground.

There are only remains under dust and cobwebs, quietly savoring a hundred years of loneliness.

Fang Plover opened his mouth wide, and couldn't help but think of everything he saw in Dolifen's dreamland.

Isn't this the same for Shisi? She also died on such an altar, and her father was still looking for the whereabouts of his daughter until the end. But in the end, Misu used his kindness and dragon soul to let her return to this altar.

World.

But this time, in this abandoned castle, who knows that the beautiful girl in the painting is lying on this altar? There is no longer a kind and noble lady here who does not have the same goodwill.

, can bring her back to life.

No one even knows the girl's name.

No one knows what her life was like or what she experienced. For a century, she just lay here quietly. No one knew who the murderer was, and why the Union of Elmau Castle became what it is today.

If he and Kita hadn't come to this place accidentally, the secrets here might have been buried under the dust of history for a long time, just like Dolifen's fantasy.

Until the end, all traces disappear

But maybe it wasn't a coincidence, Fang Plover couldn't help but look at the cat lady surrounding his feet.

Is Delise the cat in the painting, or a direct descendant of it? Although in common sense, cats cannot live for more than a century, in Aitaria, it is not impossible.

As long as you become a magical beast, you can have a longer life. Fang Plover suddenly thought of a possibility, maybe Delise is a magical pet.

"Did you bring us to this place, Miss Delise?"

"why?"

Fang Plover asked softly.

But the cat lady just meowed to him, as if she was being coquettish.

Fang Plover couldn't help but smile. Miss Delis was sometimes very mysterious. It could not only kill vampires, but also frighten away the lich, allowing it to move in and out of this place freely.

But sometimes, it was just like an ordinary cat, except more elegant and beautiful. He couldn't help but wonder, could Chris be the name given to Miss Delise by the girl in the painting?

It's a pity that Fang Plover didn't know this.

After all, he is an alchemist, not a veterinarian, or a Druid or something like that. Besides, Miss Attila also doesn't understand what this cat is. It doesn't seem to be as simple as a magical beast.

But the only thing Fang Yu could do at this moment was to check everything on the altar and around it to see if he could find any clues. He approached the skeleton with his hand, but this time there was no reaction on the half-crown mark on the back of his hand. Cang Zhi

Hui's power seemed to be dormant.

Only the ring of golden flames was still faintly warm in his arms.

He then took out the Ring of Golden Flame, which seemed to have drawn some power from the previous mutation, and became bright again in the dark environment, like a layer of flowing lava.

It's just that the light it emits is not as good as before, it just seems to be faintly shining from under the rock formations, giving people a feeling of hidden flames.

At this time, Fang Yu felt a faint throbbing, as if a voice in his heart was calling for something, asking him to put the ring close to the skeleton. It felt like a mother's call to her child, which he could not resist.

The goblin lady seemed to be aware of this, but did not warn her.

Fang Yu felt slightly relieved. He knew that Miss Tata could not harm him. So he raised the ring and brought it closer and closer to the skeleton, until the ring of golden flames only lightly touched the right finger bone of the skeleton.

At that moment, Fang Yu felt that everything in front of him seemed to be stretched, and seemed to be pulled into a long passage, and all kinds of illusions came one after another.

It was like endless pictures and memories poured into his mind, but he couldn't see anything clearly. He could only watch the fragments of those pictures and memories all falling into an unknown abyss.

An extremely complicated emotion arose in his heart, which seemed to be sadness and relief. There were also tears and hysterical pain that burst out of his eyes, making him almost unable to help but shout out.

But all these illusions are just a matter of a moment.

All the phantoms and emotions finally turned into a vague sigh.

When that faint sigh resounded in Fang Yu's heart, he seemed to see a tall shadow with long black hair, slowly turning around in front of him, away from him.

In the depths of the darkness, only a pair of golden pupils were shining.

Then all illusions disappeared

"Brother Ed?"

Fang Yu only heard a worried voice shouting timidly beside him.

Only then did he come back to his senses and found that Jita had come to him at some point, looking at him with a frown. Fang Pliong shook his head and realized that everything before was just an illusion.

But he couldn't help but look at the ring of golden flames in his hand. The light on the ring had long since silenced and returned to its dim appearance, as if nothing had happened before.

Even the throbbing feeling in his spiritual world disappeared, and the gestating dragon soul that once existed in his spiritual world seemed to disappear without a trace.

Only the text description on the ring remains the same:

‘Powerful power is contained in it’

Fang Yu turned around in confusion and asked, "Did you see something just now, Jita?"

"I only saw the light on the ring gradually disappearing, and then Brother Ed, you have been standing there for almost ten minutes." Miss Naturalist shook her head slightly and replied in a low voice.

Fang Yu didn't expect that he would be distracted for ten minutes. However, from Jita's description, at least the light emitted by the ring of golden flames was not his own hallucination, which means that it was indeed related to the skeleton.

What happened in between.

But what did the last phantoms he saw represent? The Ring of Golden Flame was Nicol Bolas's golden dragon and the source of power, but it was not just the power of the Dragon Witch alone.

, and also absorbed part of the divine power of Tolagothos and the Saurian God.

Fang Piao didn't know whether everything that had happened in Elspear Castle was related to the Dragon Witch, Toragothos or the Saurian God. But the last pair of golden eyes he saw,

She must be the Dragon Witch without a doubt.

Is it just Misu, or Nicol Bolas?

And why does the Ring of Golden Flame react with this remains?

Who is the girl in the painting, and what is her relationship with the Rogelsl family? What happened in Elmau Castle?

Fang Yu suddenly remembered what the lich said before: "Everything is determined by fate." The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something in this sentence, but he had no clue at the moment.

He recalled the last scene he saw, and then asked Tata in his heart: "Miss Tata, what do you think?"

Fang Plover knew that Miss Tata should feel the same for everything he saw. After all, the knight and the dragon soul are one body, with emotions and thoughts connected, sharing happiness, anger and sorrow together.

Tata thought quietly for a moment: "I don't quite understand the emotions between mortals. Mr. Knight, if you have any ideas, can you teach me. But the power in the ring of golden flames should belong to the Dragon Witch."

She continued: "Those powers have now disappeared without a trace in your spiritual world. But I feel that they have not disappeared, but have become more perfect. I even have a hunch that you may soon

It's time to see 'it', Mr. Knight."

"it?"

Fang Yu suddenly realized that the goblin lady was talking about the dragon soul that was born from the dark power of Nicol Bolas.

He couldn't help but fall silent.
