Walking through the interior of the temple, Lorne thought of the strange things he had encountered in the dungeon.
It was only a small dungeon, but it had attracted the Dragon of Darkness and even the Dragon of Light.
This did not look normal at all.
“I wonder if I can get some information from Leisha…”
With that in mind, he walked into the inner hall.
Here, he saw the Light Priestess Leisha in her holy robes again.
Unlike the last time, Leisha had been waiting for this moment.
Noticing his arrival, Leisha’s golden eyes snapped open, and she hurried down the platform to stand beside him.
“I didn’t expect you to sweep through the Valley of the Dead so quickly. I can clearly sense that the dark aura in that area has weakened. They no longer pose a threat to the village.”
Leisha looked at him, a holy smile on her face, “By the way, did you see anything special in the deepest part of the valley? Or was it something peculiar?”
Something peculiar?
Without much thought, he told Leisha about the coffin he had seen in the dungeon hall and the information about the ‘spatial node’.
Soon, Leisha gritted her teeth and said, “Those fellows from the Dark Abyss have indeed obtained information regarding the sealed node.”
Sealed node?
Lorne heard another strange phrase.
“What’s a sealed node?” Lorne looked at her curiously.
Hearing this, Leisha could not help but look deeply at Lorne, as if wondering if she should tell this news to the adventurer.
After some thought, Leisha explained, “This matter needs to be explained from a long, long time ago.”
“About a thousand years ago, in the abyss of this continent, there were a total of 27 incomparably powerful Abyss Kings. They fought with the gods of the Order faction for the right to rule the continent, starting the final battle.”
“In the unprecedented war, 20 of the 27 Abyss Kings died, and the other seven were also severely injured by a god of the Dragon Race, but at this moment, all the other gods of the Order faction had died, and the god of the Dragon Race was at its limit. It could not wipe out the abyss completely.”
“Helpless, that god could only use the last of its magic power to permanently exile these severely injured Abyss Kings in the spatial turbulence, and leave behind the rough coordinates of the spatial node. It hoped that the gods of the Order faction that appeared in the future could kill them as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.”
“However, a hundred years ago, a traitor appeared in the Human Empire. He stole the scroll that recorded the coordinates of the seal and attempted to open these sealed nodes to release the terrifying Abyss Kings!”
Leisha slowly walked towards the platform and continued, “The mission of the Light Priests and Priestesses is to find the whereabouts of the scroll and snatch it back before the sealed node is broken.”
“A thousand years?”
Lorne was curious as he asked, “Hasn’t a god appeared in the Order faction after so long?”
The sealed node that the god of a thousand years ago had specially left behind was to let the future gods enter the spatial turbulence and kill the Abyss Kings.
But strangely, after so long, this matter did not happen.
Had no god been born in the Order faction for a thousand years?
That was not right.
If that was the case, then what was the Dragon of Light?
It was the Dragon God!
“Of course there were. But that was another matter 300 years ago.”
Leisha sighed helplessly, “After seven hundred years of recuperation, those Abyss Kings have probably already recovered from their injuries. If we enter the spatial node now, they will only be given a chance to escape.”
“For the safety of the continent, the plan to suppress them was repeatedly postponed until that heinous betrayal occurred.”
