Chapter 109 Two People Digging Their Own Holes
The information Raphael obtained included Ms. S's method for opening the seal. This method was actually not difficult; it involved using one's own spirituality as a medium to create an opening in the seal.
The so-called seal was actually a part of the space that was covered by the "spiritual cage" used by the "prisoner" pathway during the Fourth Epoch. This part of the space was essentially sent to the spirit world.
However, this space is still connected to the real world, so if the method is correct, it is easy to use the extraordinary person's own spirituality to open a gap in the "cage".
The specific method was found by the baron family that built the castle here before, but their sequence was not high enough, so they failed. Ms. S is a Sequence 6 "Rose Bishop". After obtaining the notebook, she made some modifications and obtained the correct way to open the seal.
Raphael lit the candle, burned the corresponding herbs, and dripped a drop of blood into it, following the method left by Ms. S.
Then he invoked his own spirit in ancient Hermes: "I, in my name."
"Summon my spirit to establish a connection between the real world and the spirit world before me."
This operation is somewhat like using one's own spirituality to summon a corresponding being from the spirit world.
The spirituality used is not extensive; the main purpose is to determine the connection between the real world and the spiritual realm, making the description accurate.
After Raphael finished his description, the candle suddenly flickered and the flame rose higher.
Raphael then felt a part of his spirituality being drawn away, and at the end of the corridor in front of him, a phantom vortex suddenly appeared. The vortex grew larger and larger, soon enough to accommodate a person.
On the other side of the vortex, a seemingly illusory corridor appeared. There was no sign of ruin in the corridor, and the murals inside were all in color, with some burning braziers between the murals.
Raphael immediately jumped into the whirlpool, with Leonard following closely behind.
The next second, they found themselves in a bright corridor. The previous sense of unreality vanished, and everything around them became solid.
As the vortex behind them shrank, Raphael and Leonard saw that the corridor they had been in was dilapidated and dark, and looked like a dangerous place.
Even Leonard, who had experienced many bizarre cases, couldn't tell for a moment whether he had entered the strange illusion from reality or from the illusion into reality.
He smiled at Raphael and said, "It seems you know the situation here very well."
The previous report from the "red glove" colleague only stated that there was a seal here, but the seal had a breach, so the evil spirit inside escaped and killed some ordinary people in the surrounding area.
The "red glove" was preparing to go through the gap to conduct a preliminary exploration before deciding whether to proceed with the next step or wait for support.
This is the normal problem-solving process for "Red Glove" members. They usually try to solve the problem themselves first, and then call for support if they cannot solve it.
However, Leonard had been searching for a long time but had not found the "sealed entrance" that his colleague had mentioned. He guessed that the "entrance" had disappeared or moved to another location.
After hearing Leonard's words, Raphael replied, "I know nothing about what's going on inside."
Leonard nodded. He knew a little about what was going on inside. The old man inside him had said that there used to be a secret fortress that had almost hollowed out the entire hill, but now there was only a huge hole inside the hill, and the fortress was gone.
The old man estimated that the fortress was captured during the Quaternary period. Generally, it is unlikely that there are high-level evil spirits in such a fortress.
Because once the war against the fortress begins, the powerful individuals inside will definitely be on the front lines, making it unlikely they will be sealed inside. However, there is a high probability that there will be a Level 1 sealed artifact here. During the preceding war, some "mid-sequence" extraordinary individuals manipulated the sealed artifact to provide defense for the entire fortress.
It's unlikely there will be any level 0 sealed artifacts, because sealed artifacts of that level would have already been captured by the enemy, or the Royal Family of Rune would definitely come back to reclaim them after the war.
No faction would allow a level 0 sealed item to fall into the wrong hands.
At this moment, Raphael went to look at the murals in the corridor again. The murals here were more coherent. Raphael saw figures wearing the robes of the Church of Storms and the Church of the Goddess of Night. They used lightning and ripples to help people resist the army of the undead.
Leonard glanced at it a few times and said, "The bishop's robes from back then were better looking than they are now, but they were a bit asymmetrical and don't fit the current aesthetic."
Raphael didn't say anything and continued reading.
But soon, we reached the end of the mural. There was still a lot of space left in the corridor, obviously to record the process of the victory in the war. Unfortunately, the fortress did not last until then.
Raphael, controlling the "Iron Corpse," asked, "Next, shall we split up—"
"No, let's go together." Leonard said seriously, "It's safer to go together in an unfamiliar environment."
"And you must obey my commands, because I am one rank higher than you."
His main concern was that the new colleague would encounter Raphael first and then clash with him. According to Miss "Judgment," that Sequence 6 colleague was unlikely to be Raphael's match.
Raphael laughed, "I'm actually taller than you. We can walk together, but neither of us can boss the other around."
Leonard nodded: "No problem."
Raphael realized that he had been tricked; he hadn't originally planned to work with this guy.
Leonard smiled slightly and said, "This way, we're about to leave this corridor."
There was a wooden door ahead. Raphael had the "Copper Corpse" open it, and outside was a wider and taller corridor. Ghosts were constantly running forward, dressed in leather armor or armor, their eyes sometimes filled with fear and sometimes with determination.
At that moment, a noble ghost clad in exquisite armor shouted, "The enemy has broken through the southern defensive position! Hurry and provide support!"
Clearly, the ghosts here still retain memories from before they were sealed away.
As they passed the doorway, the noble ghost glared at Raphael and Leonard with his gleaming green eyes: "Soldiers, what are you standing there for? Are you waiting for the enemy to put a sword to your throats?"
The location where Raphael and Leonard were situated was likely a residence of nobles, indicating that nobles had the leisure to paint murals during wartime.
Upon hearing the noble ghost's question, Raphael immediately replied, "Sir, I have been ordered to return to retrieve a sealed artifact."
He then pointed at Leonard: "I suspect this guy is an enemy spy!"
Ha! Serves you right for scheming against me!
The ghosts outside stopped, their green eyes fixed on Leonard, and the temperature of the entire fortress seemed to drop.
