Wizard Immortal

Chapter 473 Corpse

"None of the royal descendants depicted in these murals have been recorded..." Lu Xiu said hesitantly, as if he felt something was amiss.

"It was not recorded, which may be because the time of this king was so far away that everything from that time has disappeared."

Adir's face remained calm, seemingly unperturbed, but inwardly he murmured, "It's also possible that we're not even in the same world."

He didn't say it aloud; it was just a vague feeling in his heart.

With this thought in mind, he turned around and looked at another mural behind him.

Unlike the murals on the left, the murals on the right depict strange and grotesque creatures.

There were savage giants roaring to the sky, covered in scales; there were humanoid beings with extraordinary bearing; and there was the scorpion, high above, seemingly a ruler of its own time…

However, these creatures have now become a mural. Although the creatures on it are lifelike, they are filled with death and despair, as if they have depicted their appearance before they died.

"To depict one's enemy in one's own temple, what a twisted sense of humor..."

Looking at the murals of various shapes and sizes, Adir then walked away and went inside.

After walking through the vast and long corridor, there is not much room left to go forward.

Around the road, one could see corpses from time to time. Although they all looked human-shaped, they were different from the remains of ordinary people.

"Too clean, and too hard..."

He drew his sword and slashed at a skeleton, then looked down at the undamaged bones at his feet and his expression changed drastically: "These are all the corpses of royal descendants!"

As the Grand Knight Commander of Elka State, what he held in his hand was naturally no ordinary weapon. It was a precious weapon he had found in the collection of Marquis Soon through the ages. It was personally crafted by a certain Soon King and had some extraordinary properties. Even when it was used to cut through sturdy armor, it could easily pierce through it.

However, such a sharp longsword failed to leave a mark on a mere skeleton, which naturally drew attention.

"At least a fourth-rank royal descendant..."

Touching the corpse and searching it carefully, his expression changed immediately, and he made this judgment.

"Fourth tier..." Upon hearing this, Qi Mu and the other players also changed color.

Having played Genesis for over a year, they are no longer complete novices and have a good understanding of the game's combat system.

Generally speaking, those who possess first-tier strength can be considered strong. Under normal circumstances, they can easily slaughter an entire army by themselves. They would be considered top-tier no matter where they are placed. In some small countries, even the strongest individuals may not have first-tier strength.

If even the first rank is so formidable, then the fourth rank can only be produced by powerful nations. Only those vast families with bloodlines that have stretched for several eras can give birth to such powerful royal descendants.

This is enough to support a major power, and under normal circumstances, it would have no problem dominating a region.

And now, this overlord-level figure lies here in this temple, his body unable to be properly buried.

"The deceased, Elanslia..."

On the skeleton were some marks indicating its identity. When the words recorded in the marks were read aloud, Lu Xiu's expression changed: "It is the third high priest of the Kingdom of Ximoro, who suddenly disappeared seven hundred years ago, becoming a great mystery..."

Looking at the corpse at his feet, he murmured to himself as he bent down, gently stroking the bones before him with one arm until he found a long tailbone: "This is the bone of a royal descendant. Only royal descendants with powerful bloodlines can be born..."

"Collect the body."

Adir glanced at Lucius and said, "The remains of a royal descendant may come in handy later."

In this world, the fourth rank is equivalent to the second rank of a wizard.

Even for Adir, the corpse of a being with a strength of level two and a bloodline essence that can be traced back to level four is a rare and valuable item.

"This... after all, is a high priest of noble status. Would it be somewhat disrespectful to disturb the corpse so rashly..." Hearing Adir's order, Lucius hesitated, still somewhat doubtful.

Chim, on the other hand, acted quickly. Upon hearing Adir's order, he immediately led his men to move the corpse away and carefully stuff it into a sack, without disrespecting the deceased.

That's understandable. For these players from another world, all etiquette and noble glory are meaningless. As long as there are enough benefits, they would cut down not only a corpse, but even a living king standing in front of them.

Adir glanced at Qimu, paying no attention to the players' actions, and continued walking forward.

As the group moved forward, they encountered more and more corpses along the way. Although most of them were humanoid, some of them had unique features.

Some of the corpses had horns on their heads, some were covered with fine scales, some had significantly more bones than normal, and some bones even glowed, making them look exceptionally beautiful.

These are all signs that their bloodline power is different from ordinary people. None of the corpses buried in the temple were simple people in life. They were all royal descendants. Moreover, even the weakest one among them was no less than the third rank.

With such powerful bloodlines and strength, these people were naturally extraordinary. Although the identities of most of them could not be identified due to the passage of time, the few corpses that could be identified were all important figures from some period in the past.

At first, Lucius would exclaim in amazement, but later, even this noble knight became numb, almost losing all feeling for the corpses that exuded a strong bloodline majesty.

"No bodies have been found for a long time."

Walking on the wide, clear, and damp road, looking at the surrounding scenery, Lu Xiu muttered to himself, subconsciously saying, "There probably won't be any more..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a glimmer of light began to appear ahead.

bump!!

Intense light flashed all around, then exploded rapidly. In the depths of a corner of the corridor, a faint pressure began to emanate.

The majesty was faint, and although it had been washed away by the passage of time, it was almost gone. But even that tiny bit was enough to make everyone present widen their eyes, instinctively feel a darkness before their eyes, and be overwhelmed by a great fear, causing them to tremble uncontrollably.

As Adir and his group entered the deeper part of the corridor, a massive corpse was laid out before them.
