Final Priesthood

Chapter 246 Praise for death, meteorites and catastrophe

 “May the Holy Light grant Anska abundance and a good harvest”

Lu Yuan read it again.

 The first time it was jerky, the second time it became smooth and natural, as if it was his second mother tongue.

 In fact, many of the characters on the handle of the steel fork in my hand have been rusted and cannot be read.

 But I don’t know why, Lu Yuan naturally filled in the missing parts.

 It’s like this steel fork belongs to him, and the words on the steel fork were engraved by him himself.

“The bead I just absorbed, in addition to the death energy, also contains a small part of the monster’s memory when it was alive.”

 Lu Yuan came to a conclusion that made him feel incredible.

 He quickly clicked on his career panel, and several information prompts that popped up on it made his pupils shrink.

  【Congratulations on your new skill—[Old Brunt language]! 】

　　【Congratulations, you have obtained career advancement materials. Do you want to choose career advancement? 】

  【The prerequisites are not met and the advancement fails. 】

　　【Would you choose career panel fusion? 】

 The first information tip comes from [ancient language expert].

On the [Ancient Language Expert] panel, there is indeed a lv1 [Ancient Brent Language] skill.

 The following few information prompts really made Lu Yuan feel unexpected.

At this time, Lu Yuan’s two career panels, [ancient language expert] and [student], were both glowing slightly.

 The profession integration prompted on the panel should be an opportunity for the integration of these two professions.

  “Prompt me that I have obtained materials? What materials?

Is the memory of the monster remaining in that black bead? "

Lu Yuan’s eyes flashed rapidly, and his brain was thinking.

 The Red Pearl of the Crow God Cult that he had absorbed before had no experience similar to that of obtaining the memory of the other party's life.

But by absorbing the black beads produced by the monsters wandering in the Wailing Ruins, one can inherit part of the memory of the monsters during their lifetime.

 He may be able to smooth this out.

 Perhaps it’s because the former has a body of flesh and blood, while the latter’s body has long been corroded by time and is only supported by the remaining obsession and death energy.

but why.

  Will inheriting the lifetime memories of monsters in this secret realm trigger opportunities for professional fusion?

Lu Yuan tried to search for information about "Ancient Brent" in existing databases, but did not get any results.

The [Ancient Brunt] language he just learned has not found any similar ancient languages ​​in the database.

“Existing in the secret realm of the Lamenting Ruins, it didn’t take long for this evil secret realm of Lamenting Ruins to be discovered.

 There is no information included, which is normal.”

Evil Mystic Realm is a "paradise" created by ancient evil gods for believers. It is not unusual for an independent ancient civilization to exist in an isolated environment.

“It’s just that the common language of Crow God Cult is not Ancient Spirit Language?”

He has also learned level 2 of this language by himself.

 “Also, what is the Holy Light?”

In addition to the holy light on the steel fork, in the memory picture, the last word that the farmer named Anska shouted in ancient Brunt language the second before he was swallowed by the black mist was also - Holy Light Blessing the meaning of.

Lu Yuan had many doubts in his heart. After thinking about it, he decided to choose career integration.

 A progress bar popped up immediately, showing the fusion progress: 0.1%

 Lu Yuan glanced at the map of the secret realm, which also showed the current exploration level of 0.1%, with no fluctuation in his expression.

 He checked several of his career panels again and found that on the [Inform the Dead (Supernatural)] panel, the experience value of [Clothes of Hades] had also increased by a few points.

 It is now lv1 (82/100).

 It’s not far away from reaching lv2.

besides

 “Intelligence seems to have also increased.”

Lu Yuan realized this from his own mental strength.

His total amount of aerosol mental power has increased, but the increase is very small. If he hadn't been perceptive, it would have been almost impossible to detect.

Lu Yuan crushed the remaining twenty black beads in his hand one by one and absorbed them.

On the [Information to the Dead (Extraordinary)] panel, the professional experience and the experience values ​​of [Death Wind Coil] and [Clothes of Hades] are constantly increasing.

 And he himself is constantly being instilled with various memory images.

—Similar to each other, they are almost all scenes of being swallowed up by black mist before death, wrapped in despair and fear.

Occasionally, one or two scenes will pop up showing people working in the fields with hoes.

 It seems that all the people living in this village are poor farmers.

"Ding-"

After absorbing the seventeenth black bead, Lu Yuan received a message that the level of [Clothes of Hades] had been improved.

  lv2【Clothes of Hades】.

Lu Yuan immediately tried to activate.

In an instant, a large amount of death energy gathered and condensed on his body, and a thin layer of translucent gauze covered Lu Yuan's whole body.

  It is much thicker than the light film at lv1, and there are sporadic patterns on it.

"better than nothing."

Lu Yuan looked at it briefly and continued to absorb the remaining black beads.

 Wait until all the black beads are absorbed.

 He closed his eyes and stood quietly in place for a while.

At a certain moment when he opened his eyes, Lu Yuan's figure started to move quickly.

 He quickly disappeared into the black mist ahead and shuttled through the black mist.

 After a while, we stopped in a ruins.

The tentacle-shaped air column formed by the condensed death energy rushed out with a roar, smashing and overturning several boulders in the ruins.

Lu Yuan walked in, leaned down, and pushed aside the sand and gravel in a corner of the decayed ruins. Finally, he found a palm-sized statue with the upper body missing.

 The statue is completely unrecognizable to its original appearance.

 Turn over to the back, there is writing residue.

 “Praise.”

 These two words are [Old Brunt], followed by two words - "death".

 “Death” is written in [Ancient Lingyu].

 Four characters, two different characters, but it seems that the handwriting is from the same person.

"interesting."

Lu Yuan stood up, his eyes flashing, feeling as if he had caught a piece of truth. He had a vague guess in his mind.

 But further confirmation is needed.

 The statue is recorded and entered into the database, and the statue itself is packaged by the drone.

Even the remaining writing on the previous steel fork was recorded.

 These are important information related to the origin of the secret realm. After leaving the secret realm, it is uploaded and determined to be valid information after identification, which can be converted into the corresponding exploration degree.

The ruined village where Lu Yuan is now is not big. After he cleared away all the farmer monsters, it became clean.

 Then he saw the deathly energy lingering in the ruins of the entire village begin to flow forward.

 Correspondingly, the black fog in this area also became thinner.

“The death energy will stay in the area where monsters are present. When the monster dies, the death energy will also flow away.”

 Lu Yuan roughly understood the principle.

 He moved on.

We encountered several similar ruined villages along the way, and killed about a hundred farmer monsters in total.

The strength of these farmer monsters is actually not very strong. Putting aside the bonus of death energy, their strength and speed are probably only a little stronger than those of professional-level fighters.

In one-on-one combat, even a martial artist-level fighter can easily kill them, not even as good as the Divine Attendant of the Crow God Cult.

 The exploration level has finally been pushed to 1%, and several skills in the [Calling the Dead (Extraordinary)] profession have also been improved.

What makes Lu Yuan most gratified is that after a series of broken memories were instilled, his intellectual attributes improved more and more obviously.

The aerosol mental power increased by about 10%. The original detection range of the mental power was 300 meters, but now it has increased to about 330 meters.

“This is the first time I have encountered a method that can directly improve intelligence attributes. For this reason alone, this trip to the secret realm is worth it.”

In addition, Lu Yuan also got new clues from the memories of a bunch of farmer monsters—

 That is a picture.

In the picture, in the blue sky, a huge black meteorite fell from the sky, bringing with it a flock of crows that covered the sky.

 Lu Yuan recalled the scene in the memory picture, closed his eyes, and kept adjusting the position of his body.

 When moving to a certain position.

 He suddenly opened his eyes.

There is a thick black fog in front of me. Compared with the secret map, the direct direction is -

 The bright red restricted area in the deepest part of the map!

“Perhaps it is necessary for me to enter the so-called restricted area.”

Lu Yuan is now full of curiosity about the stories that happened in this ruins.

This civilization called Ancient Brent seems to have experienced a great catastrophe.

This catastrophe led to the formation of the current mournful ruins.

 The initiator of this catastrophe seems to come from the Crow God Cult.

“Let’s continue to explore further. According to the memory of the farmer monster, there should be a city ahead.”

Lu Yuan glanced at the map of the secret realm and walked quickly forward.

 Two black death air wings several meters long were like two huge sharp blades, breaking through the heavy black fog.

 The drone followed faithfully, carrying a resource pack and some scattered objects rummaged through the ruins by Lu Yuan.

 After this exploration, Lu Yuan's ability to control the death energy has also improved a lot.

 The wings of death that were transformed again are no longer as blurry as before. At least the clear outline can be seen now.

Lu Yuan even tried to use death energy to condense the shape of a spear for throwing.

  Unfortunately, his [Dead Air Winding] level is still low, and the death air concentration is not enough to carry much of his power. After being thrown, it will dissipate before it can fly very far.

“17:21.”

 As Lu Yuan was about to reach the target location, the shadow of the ruined city already appeared in the picture transmitted back by the undead crow.

Lu Yuan checked the time and found that nearly seven hours had passed since he entered the mournful ruins.

It is difficult to notice the passage of time in the secret realm, but the long-established work and rest habits remind Lu Yuan that it is time to eat.

 He thought for a moment, took off the resource pack on the drone, and was about to take out food to replenish some energy.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan's expression moved slightly, and in an instant, his body's lifeless energy subsided, and he stood quietly on the spot.

 Soon, the shadows of dozens of drones appeared in his field of vision.

 Then there are five figures.

is walking slowly in his direction.

 The team of five people walked proudly on the wilderness surrounded by death.

Nearly everyone is surrounded by a thin light mask. The light mask blocks out the dead energy and allows them to fully unleash their combat effectiveness.

Xie Jun was walking at the front of the team, with a dark blue superalloy long sword over one meter long stuck on each shoulder.

There are fine electric rays dancing on the long sword, which looks very impressive just for its appearance.

“I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. It only took less than five hours to complete the first exploration point.”

In the team, a young man wearing a dark red exoskeleton armor was talking and playing with a dark black bead the size of a thumb in his hand.

“S-level evil energy crystals. It is said that the scientific research team is currently researching and developing a Crow God series of evil energy suits. The value of this thing is rising.”

 “Be careful not to crush this thing.

 It’s nothing if you lose your merits. This thing contains a curse. Without the light of condensed spirit, those who have reached double S level cannot bear it at all and will directly go crazy.”

The person next to me couldn’t help but remind him.

 The young man responded with a smile, and then carefully put away the beads.

After putting it away, I couldn't help but ask: "Lao Xie, we are passing by anyway, why don't we clean up this area as well?"

Xie Jun, who was leading the way, kept his foot speed unchanged and replied unhurriedly: "This ruined city contains multiple S-level evil energy fluctuations. With the combat power of our team, there will be no problem in eating them.

 But the evil energy field inside is very strong, especially the death aura.

The energy of the protective force field may be exhausted before the end of the battle, and the gain outweighs the loss."

 The young man nodded thoughtfully.

As he was speaking, Xie Jun's footsteps suddenly stopped.

As if seeing something, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a somewhat unexpected look on his face.

 The other people were a little surprised.

 Looking forward along Xie Jun's gaze.

They saw that the black fog surging in front of them parted heavily, and a figure gradually appeared in front of them.
