Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 265 Multiple Possibilities
"I'll go first." Saloveis said, flapping her wings excitedly and running towards the pyramid.

Although Suosis beat her up and made her lose face, treasure was more important than Suosis. She urgently needed treasure to build a nest, otherwise it would feel bad to live under someone else's roof... Of course, she would never move away from the volcanic island and would build a nest on the volcanic island.

The pyramid was there and could not be escaped. Lyon was not in a hurry to demolish the pyramid. He had not yet calmed down from the battle just now. He still found it difficult to accept that Suosis had just run away like that.

Saloves had just run to the pyramid, then ran back and said, "Why aren't you moving?"

"Why do you care about us..." Leon rolled his eyes at his sister.

"You guys are chatting here and leaving me to work alone, but in the end I still get the same amount of money. Doesn't that make me look stupid?" Saloveise said self-righteously.

"How dare you say that... When you were fighting Suosis, you were almost killed instantly. If I hadn't helped you, you would be dead now. What else did you do?" Leon said disdainfully, "Okay, then we'll distribute according to work. How much money you get will depend on how much work you do. Let's see how much money you can get in the end."

"I was just talking casually, don't take it seriously." Saloveis gave in immediately.

Leon looked at Saloveise's back, wondering how long it would take him to discipline his sister with such a bad temper. It would be a long and arduous journey.

After Saloves interrupted, Leon was no longer in the mood to reminisce about the battle. Anyway, he would definitely see Suosis again one day, so he said, "Let's go and demolish the pyramids. The sooner we finish demolishing that pyramid, the sooner we can go back... The food and accommodation here are not good."

"The reason why we demolished the pyramid is mainly because we are worried about the danger of entering the pyramid in human form. Now that Suosis has been driven away by us, we can enter the pyramid in human form." Cecilia interrupted, "Instead of going through the trouble of demolishing the pyramid."

"If we dismantle the pyramid, we can guarantee that we won't miss any room, even the secret room, and we won't miss any treasure." Tassera paused, "Now are you sure you want to explore the pyramid in human form?"

"Then let's continue to demolish the tower." Cecilia did not argue. Treasure was more important than anything else.

Tassela and Cecilia crawled, but Leon walked like Godzilla, wagging his tail as he walked. Suddenly he thought of a question and said, "That Suosis ran away, right?"

"Yes." Tassela agreed.

"If he could leave, why did he stay in the pyramid?" Leon asked.

"Master, you asked a good question," said Cecilia.

She only provides emotional value, not problem solving.

Tassela is an expert in problem solving. She said, "A mummy lord controls a group of low-level undead creatures and various traps, guarding an ancient temple or tomb, and rarely moves around. Most liches live in isolation, only interacting with servants and guards in their lairs... It's normal for Suosis to stay in the pyramid."

Leon nodded when he heard this, but then he felt something was wrong and said, “I remember he kept talking about life energy and returning to youth… Life energy is everywhere out there, right?”

"Like many liches. After their rationality and memory were worn away over the years, they forgot to absorb souls and became demi-liches, until someone entered their secluded place." Tassera said, "Normally, liches must regularly sacrifice their souls to the phylactery to maintain their bodies and consciousness." Tassera suddenly stopped and said, "There are many possibilities."

"You should be able to see that, although he looks like one, Suosis is not an undead creature. He is still alive," said Tassera.

"I can see that." Leon said. He mainly saw that from the fact that the palm thunder aimed at undead creatures had little effect on Suosis.

"Undead creatures often have no desires, but the living do. Suosis has been reluctant to leave. It is possible that he can only stay in the pyramid to avoid aging. He is unwilling to leave unless he has no choice," Tassera analyzed.

"What else?" Cecilia was a curious baby.

Although the two had always been at odds, Tassela just glanced at Cecilia and said, "Suosis did not stay there voluntarily, but was sealed in the pyramid. The male-faced Sphinx is not Suosis's guard, but Suosis's caretaker."

"It's not impossible." Lyon said.

Tassera suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "Even after the pyramids were demolished and Suosis left, the sandstorms didn't seem to weaken. It could be that it will take time, or it could be that the sandstorms were not caused by Suosis."

"Suosis is undoubtedly very strong, but he should not be strong enough to make those sandstorms never stop and revive the dead creatures within dozens of kilometers."

Tassera continued mysteriously, "Maybe there is something under the pyramid. Suosis has been staying there to study that thing, trying to gain immortality through studying it."

"What is it?" Cecilia asked.

"For example, a dead god." Tassela said, "From the ancient decline of the empire to the present, there are almost no animal gods. It is not ruled out that many gods have changed their appearance and are still alive today, but it is also not ruled out that many gods have died. Dead gods will affect the present world."

"Also," Tassela lowered her eyes, "the Atrophied One is an unfinished and terrible creation of an evil god. It has never truly lived, so it cannot be resurrected in any way. The Atrophied One's shriveled umbilical cord is linked to the negative energy plane. This connection gives the Atrophied One the power to control death and undead creatures."

"Don't be nervous." Tassela suddenly laughed. "The Atrophied sounds powerful, but it's just that simple. I can beat them."

Leon nodded. He knew about the Atrophier. It was extremely powerful in the third edition of the setting book, but it was just like that in the fifth edition.

"Whatever the reason," Tassera said, "let's tear down that pyramid and take the treasure away. Even if there are dead gods or atrophied ones, they are of no use to us."

Lyon agreed.

It turned out that it took everyone three days to dismantle the upper half of the pyramid. The lower half of the pyramid was larger than the upper half, but the valuable parts were not that large. In the end, it only took three days and everyone left with the treasures they had looted.
