Of course, what Kun Yi wanted to attack was not His Royal Highness, but another soul that existed in his mind, the soul of the emperor.
This may sound incredible, but as Ji Shuzhai said, there were only two people in the room at that time. Since it was not Isaac, it could only be the emperor. However, as a shark, the Fourth Highness knew nothing about Concubine Wan, and was even less likely to know about the existence of the magic potion, so all possibilities were eliminated, and only one conclusion remained.
The emperor is not dead.
Maybe it was because he had gained magical power after drinking the magic potion, or maybe it was because His Highness the Fourth Prince had lost the power of his bloodline. Despite the ebb and flow, the emperor's soul was not completely devoured by him. Of course, it was impossible to control the body in turn. The emperor's weak soul could only hide in his mind and watch all this silently.
Another point that can be used as evidence is that the Fourth Highness only has Lan Xu in his eyes, so he will only trouble Pu Weique for Lan Xu. But when he mentioned Concubine Wan and other people who were killed, the Fourth Highness's body There were emotions of sadness and anger. That is to say, this shark prince is a pure love mind, and he was carried away at that time. If it were Yi Liuling and the others, the emotion revealed was enough for them to discover that there is another consciousness in their minds.
However, they finally escaped.
When his vision became clear again, Yi Liuling found that they were standing in a huge and empty stone chamber.
There was a hole in the ceiling in the center of the stone chamber, and light leaked from the top, shining on a dark sarcophagus about two meters above the ground below. The sarcophagus is bound by eight thick golden chains, and the chains are connected to the wall of the room. However, judging from its loose state, the sarcophagus is not being hung up, but is floating on its own.
This sarcophagus seems to imply that this room is actually a tomb, but the strange thing is that except for the sarcophagus and the large gold chain, there are no burial objects in this tomb.
Yi Liuling glanced back. The pattern on the stone door behind her seemed familiar. It was the same as what she had seen at the end of the tomb passage. Not to mention that the wooden hinge was also embedded in the wall next to the door.
It seems that before falling into the illusion, the door was really opened, but it seemed that only the four of them who were trapped in the illusion came in. Yousheng returned to the form of a potted plant after she escaped. But what is more surprising is that the soul-living realm will still release an impact at the moment of shattering, but Professor Dou, as an ordinary person, does not seem to be affected. He is looking at the room without saying a word.
"Awesome, Kun Yi, you can still be so detailed." Ji Shuzhai remembered that Kun Yi was a scene player in the past. He relied on his long mana bar and used his skills to focus on which ones cost mana points. This time, he had such a small budget. Being able to perform a perfect assassination always feels a bit OOC.
"Young master is a genius. His control over magic power is, well, fine." Although Kun Yi always felt that Ji Shuzhai's words were a bit strange, his passive skill was very impressive. After thinking about it, he found that it was indeed fine. This word is very suitable, so I used it along the way, "But I also have to thank the game console."
Yi Liuling thought of the scrapped game console that Kun Yi said he wanted to take back to practice magic power stability. Did this guy actually use it?
"Impossible," while several people were talking, Professor Dou suddenly exclaimed, "This is impossible, why would I..."
"Why do you think you have been here?" A voice interrupted Professor Dou's words. The moment they heard the voice, several people immediately gathered together to block Professor Dou behind them. Ji Shuzhai took out the door handle and pressed it on to the front.
An illusory figure appeared in front of the sarcophagus. He looked exactly like Professor Dou. However, compared to Professor Dou's friendly temperament, this man obviously has the majesty of a superior, but also has a calmness that the arrogant Fourth Highness does not have. I think he is the emperor in the illusion.
This illusory figure ignored the three people who were waiting for him. His gaze seemed to be able to see Professor Dou beyond Ji Shuzhai's door: "Welcome back to the place of our original sin, my descendants."
"Original sin?" Professor Dou frowned. Although judging from the current situation, their ancestors of the Dou family should be the descendants of the country in the illusion. The problem of the survivor family's short lifespan and inability to practice may also be because of the original sin. Yasame was pulled away
The transformation that people undergo when they are kept in captivity.
However, there were still not enough clues to know the truth about the changes in the Maple Leaf Sea and the destruction of the Lalaye Kingdom.
"As you just saw, we struggled as hard as we could." The illusory figure calmly told the subsequent story.
In the end, Isaac did not return the power of his bloodline to the fourth prince, because the successive chaos finally attracted the attention of the shark clan, further exposing the already valued human royal family to the eyes of all the shark judges. Therefore, even His Highness the Fourth Prince's arrogant character had to put his tail between his legs and keep a low profile. Of course, he did not give up on his plan. The formation of the royal tomb was still being constructed steadily, and under the deliberate management of the fourth prince, his relationship with Pu Weique was gradually easing.
At the same time, Concubine Wan's assassination with determination to die still caused irreversible damage to the fourth prince of the sharks, and also allowed the remaining emperor's soul to breathe, so that some of the fourth princes could regain the use of their bodies when they relaxed their vigilance. right. The emperor used this precious and short time to tamper with the royal tombs.
Finally, after the emperor and Lan Xu "died" one after another, Pu Weique, who had not yet recovered from his grief, was taken to an empty stone chamber below the main tomb in the royal mausoleum.
According to the fourth prince's plan, the magic circle in this room is enough to cover up the fluctuations of Pu Weique's soul, and can also provide energy for the magic circle above. Therefore, it only needs to seal Pu Weique alive into the sarcophagus, and he can escape from suspended animation. The plan can be completed successfully, and he can return to the Sharman Kingdom and continue to be the heir to his throne.
In the last step, the emperor who was lurking and accumulating energy finally attacked. His weak soul and magic power were naturally unable to compete with the shark, but if he just regained control of his body for a moment when he relaxed his vigilance due to pride, it would not be a difficult task. . Not to mention, in order to clear up the grievances he had felt these days, the Fourth Highness personally dragged Pu Weique to the sarcophagus.
In the blink of an eye, or even shorter than the blink of an eye, the emperor used all his strength to rush into the sarcophagus. According to the previous plan, in order to prevent Pu Weique from escaping, the sarcophagus would be closed immediately after people entered, and then used The soul-binding chains are entangled, and no one can escape from them.
Listening to the furious roar of the fourth prince who had regained his body and the panicked voices of everyone outside the sarcophagus, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and allowed the darkness to swallow him up.
This is done, and I hope the other four countries can also proceed smoothly.
Yes, in real history, Concubine Wan was not the only one who developed a method to obtain magic power, and the Southern Kingdom was naturally not the only country where someone realized something was wrong.
The secret recipe for the medicine that leads to the same goal through different paths spread like sparks across the entire continent of Weiss. The people who were kneeling in prayer finally stood up and looked up at the sky like the sea.
