Chapter 160 Dry Well
"In this case, we can only go down and take a look."
Enzo looked at the dark dry well, stroked his chin, and said, "Dias, you can continue patrolling with your guards. You are no longer needed here."
"As you command, Master." Dias said solemnly.
Afterwards, the unconscious servant was carried away, and Diaz left the small garden with the guards.
After everyone left, Enzo straightened his clothes and jumped into the dry well. This dry well had been abandoned for many years and was about tens of meters deep. The water source inside had long dried up and the surroundings were covered with spider webs.
"Light!"
After falling to the bottom of the well, Enzo snapped his fingers, and a ray of light immediately dispelled the darkness, and the surrounding scene was revealed. There was a dampness in the air, the dilapidated well walls were covered with moss, and several mice came from around his feet. Drilled through.
"That resentful spirit should be hiding here."
Enzo narrowed his eyes and looked around. The space in the dry well was small. Even if the resentful soul had the ability to conceal its aura, there was nowhere to hide.
call!
At this moment, there was a hint of coldness in the surroundings.
Enzo's heart moved, and a scream sounded in his ears. He turned around and saw a black shadow coming out of the well wall. The mist-like twisted form bared its teeth and claws, exuding a strong resentment.
"Humph!" Enzo snorted coldly, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The silver ring on the fingertip emitted a burst of light, like a holy light that purified all evil. As soon as the resentful soul touched it, it let out a shrill wail, and its atomized body ignited with white flames.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu wizard!"
The resentful soul howled in pain, and a trace of fear appeared on its ferocious and twisted face. After discovering the identity of the enemy, he decisively twisted his body and ran away, throwing away a large piece of white flame around him.
brush!
The atomized body dived into the well wall, and the resentful soul disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Escaped?" Enzo frowned and looked towards the direction where the resentful soul was escaping. He suddenly discovered that there was a hidden stone door on the wall of the dry well. It was difficult to find it without looking carefully.
"What's this?"
Enzo's eyes moved, and a hint of interest arose in his heart. With his unintentional decision, he seemed to have discovered some secrets. The resentful soul that could only hide its aura to avoid the chip scanning seemed to be related to the thing behind the stone door.
Taking a step forward, Enzo tried to push open the stone door.
However, he exerted a lot of force, but the stone door in front of him did not move at all. After careful inspection, he found that the stone door had been completely sealed, and it would be difficult to open it unless it was destroyed by violent means.
"If you use the Dark Fire Ball, you will definitely be able to blow this stone door open."
Enzo hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "However, if we do that, the power of the explosion will spread to all directions, which may cause the entire dry well to collapse, or even destroy the underground foundation of the manor."
After denying the violent destruction in his heart, Enzo thought for a while.
"It's better to keep a low profile as much as possible." What is hidden inside the stone door is not yet known. If it causes too much noise, it may attract other people's prying eyes. Therefore, Enzo decided to use another method to enter it.
"The soul leaves the body!"
He took a deep breath, his body gradually relaxed, and a transparent shadow soon floated out.
"That's enough." The physical body had fallen into a still state. Enzo looked back, then controlled his spiritual body and plunged into the stone door ahead.
Passing through the solid stone door, there is a dark passage ahead.
"It seems that there are indeed some secrets hidden in this dry well!" Enzo's heart moved and he kept floating along the passage. After floating for a certain distance, a light finally appeared in front of him.
At the end of the passage is a stone room.
At the four corners of the stone chamber, four circular pillars are supported, with a statue standing in the center. There are three black candles placed in front of the statue. Two of the candles have long been burned out, and only the middle one is still swaying. flames.
That's where the light comes from!
"Is this here?" Enzo narrowed his eyes and looked at the statue enshrined in the stone chamber.
It was a stone sculpture with the upper body of a human woman and the lower body in the shape of a spider. She wore a veil on her face, making it difficult to see her face. Only her eyes were inlaid with two black gems.
"Goddess of the Night!"
Enzo searched for information about the statue in his mind, and suddenly thought of a name, and a solemn expression suddenly appeared on his face.
The legendary ancient god was once the real ruler of the world before the rise of wizard civilization. Enzo once read about the information about the goddess of night in the library. It is said that she is a neutral god with the priesthood of [Night] With [Silence], the well-known form is half human and half spider.
After the rise of the wizard clan, the gods have long withdrawn from the stage of history!
In today's wizarding world, the pursuit of truth and one's own strength is the right path. Belief in gods is strictly prohibited. In the secular kingdom, some foolish people who worship gods occasionally appear. Once discovered, they will be severely punished by wizards.
"Is the former owner of the manor actually a believer of the goddess of the night?"
Enzo's eyes were solemn. As a wizard, he had always been indifferent to gods. Although those superior beings were once the darlings of the world, they were still defeated by the wizard civilization in the end.
"Kneel down, wizard!"
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded, and the resentful soul appeared in mid-air and said sternly: "Mortals must learn to be humble in front of the noble goddess of the night!"
"Hmph! What a loyal believer."
Enzo snorted disdainfully. The resentful spirit was the former owner of the manor. Even though he was dead, he still adhered to his belief in the goddess. Perhaps this was the reason why he was able to retain part of his sanity in the state of the resentful spirit.
Mortals will also receive certain benefits when they offer their faith to gods.
It is precisely because of this that even though the wizarding civilization has ruled the world for many years, the flame of secular faith is still alive. Perhaps for some weak people, it is always easier to beg for mercy from the gods than to chase power themselves.
"Too bad, I'm a wizard!"
Enzo's eyes were firm, unmoved by the scolding of the resentful soul. He concentrated his mind, and the invisible spiritual power spread around, and then condensed into a silver needle, which penetrated deeply into the body of the resentful soul.
"Soul Thorn!"
The resentful soul let out a shrill scream, and the wailing sound was chilling. His mist-like body kept twisting, as if it was about to break and explode.
"Damn wizard, dare to harm the goddess's followers!"
"You will pay the price for this. The darkness of eternal night has descended on the world, and the sleeping earth has fallen into silence. Noble goddess of the night! Your humble believers pray to you, may you grant endless power to drive away all light."
The resentful spirit screamed and began to pray.
The statue of the goddess of night in the stone house seemed to have heard some kind of inspiration. Its black gem eyes were shining with light, and the endless darkness around it surged up like a tide, seeming to be about to swallow everything.
