The two have experienced hundreds of battles, and they have broken through many magic circles during the war, and they are still very familiar with cooperating now.One explored the way and the other avoided danger. After a few minutes, the two arrived at the end of the marble steps of the temple safe and sound.Several stone pillars support the dome, and the sunlight that shines into the hall is blocked by the stone pillars and cut into rectangles of different lengths and lengths.

Willie and Sean hid behind the pillars and carefully looked inside the temple.

Seeing this, both of them couldn't help but gasp.

The interior space of the temple is huge, the walls and dome are covered with murals, and a skylight is opened in the middle of the dome, and the mottled sunlight shines in directly, illuminating a stone sculpture in the center of the temple.The light on the stone carvings is deep and shallow, which makes the appearance of the stone carvings more profound.

The stone sculpture is a man holding a scepter. His hair reaches his ankles, and part of it falls to the ground. His arms are open, and there is nothing in his arms. What should be grasped by his right hand has disappeared at this time. .

Its facial features are carved very finely, the facial features are lifelike, and it looks like a living person.It lowered its eyes, with a melancholy expression, as if it was thinking or nostalgic.

Xiao En praised: "This stone carving is so beautiful, it's almost like a living person. If it is painted with color, it can be completely fake."

Viri looked at the face of the stone sculpture, only feeling creepy.

He seemed to be frozen, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his eyes were full of the handsome face carved in stone.

Seeing that Veri hadn't moved for a long time, Sean asked suspiciously, "Veri, what's wrong with you?"

"Who's he?" Willie said nonchalantly.

He is very familiar with this face. The owner of this face grew up with him, and it has appeared in his dreams countless times in the past 30 years.From immature children to beautiful teenagers, Viri has always been by his side.

However, he had never dreamed of the grown-up Ignace until this stone statue appeared in front of him——

Lips, eyebrows, and eyes have all been drawn thousands of times by him.As soon as this face appeared, Viri immediately understood that without thinking, if Ignas was still alive, he would definitely look like this.

Once he appears, he will steal everyone's sight.

The stone sculpture stands alone in the center of the temple, accompanied only by murals for hundreds of years, with the sun and moon above its head and stars on its body.

"It should be the Sun God believed by the Auger Cult," Sean said. "It looks really handsome, and it can be compared with Mason."

When these words came out of Sean's mouth, they could be regarded as the highest evaluation of a person's appearance.

Of course, Mason is also good-looking, but it is somewhat different from the beauty of the stone sculpture in front of him.One is like the sun in the sky, with aggressive eyebrows and eyes, and the other is like the vegetation in the forest, with an aura that makes people feel close.

Willie said softly, "It looks exactly like him."

"Him?" Sean wondered. After a while, he reacted abruptly and exclaimed, "Your lover? Don't scare me."

"Do you think I don't feel scared?" Willie stared at the stone carving for a moment, "It's exactly the same."

The bloody smell stopped abruptly here, and the whole temple exuded a clean atmosphere, even a bit unusually clean.A drop of blood fell from the sky and just landed on the spotless ground, splashing a perfect circle.

Willie and Sean's goosebumps popped up instantly.

The two looked up at the high dome at the same time. There was a shadow beside the open skylight. A man in a cloak was nailed to the cross. His long messy hair covered his hanging head. His limbs were weak and blood was flowing out. Flowing with the cross, into the dark night sky of murals.

Willie opened his eyes wide and blurted out, "John!"

John was a thin young man with an ordinary face, and he was not conspicuous among the crowd.Sean had never seen him before, so of course he couldn't recognize him at a glance, but Veri had been his teacher, and just a back view shrouded in a cloak allowed him to accurately identify that this was John.

The skylight was moving slowly, and soon, John hanging on the cross disappeared from their field of vision again.The different shades of light on the stone sculpture also changed accordingly, and Viri and Sean quickly leaned back together, vigilantly observing if there was any disturbance around them.

Occasionally, drops of blood fell down, staining the clean ground red, but within a few seconds, the red on the smooth floor gradually disappeared, and returned to normal in a blink of an eye.

Viri murmured: "There is a large magic circle here..."

"What?" Sean didn't turn his head back, and the two of them leaned their shoulders together and were on alert.

The skylight rotated around, and the crucifix reappeared in the field of vision of the two of them again, and a few drops of blood fell again. Viri glanced at it quickly, and then looked back: "A very tasteless clean magic circle."

He tapped the floor with a dead branch, sent out a little mana, and activated the magic circle hidden under the floor.

Immediately, the light was bright, and complicated lines floated on the ground, shining brilliantly. Viri and Sean were in the center of the magic circle, watching the lines of the formation spread rapidly to the surroundings.

Willie whispered, "I see."

"What?" Sean, who knew nothing about magic, was dumbfounded.

"There will be no danger here," Viri relaxed. "This magic circle has been modified."

He held up the dead branch, pointed at the place where the magic lines intersected, and explained: "This is the top defensive formation. Except for the owner of the magic circle and the guests who are allowed to enter, no matter who steps in, they will be blocked. John."

There are bursts of light in the magic circle, and the messy lines merge together to form twisted crosses.

"John entered here rashly, and the magic circle regarded him as an intruder. Did you see those crosses?" Viri said, "After being caught by the magic circle, he would be crucified to death by those crosses, and then pulled to the ceiling Hanging, the owner of the magic circle slightly modified the lines to make the magic circle have the ability to clean, so as not to stain the floor with blood."

Sean swallowed: "Then why are we alright?"

Wei Li was taken aback for a moment, and then became confused: "Yeah, why are we all right?"

"Could it be because of him?" The two looked at the handsome stone sculpture at the same time.

The stone sculpture was in the halo, and his expression was still melancholy, which made people want to smooth his slightly frowning brows.Viri's heart skipped a beat. Ignas had no father or mother. He was a child he picked up from Fryer Forest.

Can someone really be resurrected from the dead and rejuvenate?

He still clearly remembers that day when he and his companions picked mushrooms and played hide-and-seek in the forest.He hid in the bushes and found Ignas fainted in the grass.

Silver hair was messy covering his pale face, and his eyelashes were long and thick.Wei Li had never seen such a good-looking peer, and for a moment he ignored the shock and moved over curiously.

Willy couldn't wake him up, so he ran home to ask his parents for help, and brought Ignas back from the forest.

Ignas' skin was as pale as snow in winter, without a trace of blood, he was almost a jade carving.

Willie volunteered to bathe him, feed him broth, and help him change his clothes.After watching this beautiful boy all night, Viri finally waited for him to wake up.

That was the first time Viri saw purple eyes, shimmering and clear as ice.

"What's your name?" He leaned on the edge of the bed, tiptoed, and asked curiously.

The boy with silver hair and purple eyes glanced at him with difficulty, his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, hoarse and dry: "Stoke..."

"What?" Viri didn't hear clearly, so he simply moved closer.

The boy's breath tickled his ears: "Stoke, Ignace Stoke..."

Thoughts came to a sudden stop, and Viri jerked away from the memory.

"This statue is not the sun god," Viri turned his head and said to Sean, "he should be the necromancer, Stoke."

Xiao En looked inquiringly, and said thoughtfully: "No wonder you didn't look very good when I said that the necromancer was named Stoke. Could it be that your lover is named Stoke?"

"Yeah." There's no need to hide this, Viri readily admitted, "He has no father or mother. I picked him up from Fryer Forest when he was seven years old. He is very gifted in magic. All my magic He taught me the basics."

Sean put his gaze back on the statue: "However, I don't think your lover is that 'Stoke'."

Willie said lightly: "Why?"

"Once a person dies, he can never be resurrected."

Viri turned his head slightly and stared at Sean.

"This sentence was said by Stoke himself," Sean said decisively. He pressed Willy's shoulders, carefully observed whether there was blood in his eyes, and said earnestly, "There are so many priests in the Holy See, and there is no way to let them The dying person came back to life, not to mention Stoke died for hundreds of years, how could he be picked up by you as a child more than 30 years ago?"

"But Sean, no matter the name, appearance or magical talent can be matched," Willie said, "he must still be alive."

"Veri!" Sean shouted loudly, and soon he softened his voice again, "He is really dead, the Valentines watched him die." The diary took a lot of space to record this event, yes For Valentine and his wife, Necromancer Stoke is both a teacher and a friend, and is a respectable elder.

When Stoke resolutely left the Mages Guild, the Valentines followed him without hesitation.

After experiencing ups and downs, they have no regrets.

Sean took a deep breath: "Calm down, if your lover is really a necromancer, why didn't he mention it. Before he died, he could tell you that he can be resurrected. You don't have to watch alone A violin, waiting for him for 30 years."

"I'm willing to wait, it has nothing to do with him." Willie turned his head and said stubbornly.

He is rarely so childish, as if he has turned back into that 15-year-old stubborn boy.Viri has always shown gentleness and restraint in front of people, but now he purses his lips, but it is alive.

Sean sighed: "Actually, there is something I haven't told you."

"what's up?"

"Rumours from nearby towns." Sean looked at the handsome statue with arms outstretched in a hugging gesture. "My original intention of looking through the library records was to verify the reliability of the rumors."

"Rumors say that Necromancer Stoke has been resurrected, and those skeletons and undead who attacked people are his army to take revenge on the world."
