319 Chapter 266: Ancient God Statue And The Ancient God [1/2]
“The resurrection of the dead?”
Richard looked at the system notification with a subtle expression.
“Another disaster week…”
However, it differed from the wild beasts released from their cages during the previous disaster week.
It was distinctly the world of the undead.
“I wonder if there will be more monsters that will attack the city this time.”
He shook his head and did not think about it. He just had to keep the troop on guard.
To others, the disaster week was a disaster, but to Twilight City, it was a bonus.
He didn’t pay too much attention and focused on the troop lairs.
[The instance dungeon will open in a week.]
It was the last time the system refreshed the troop lairs before they opened the instance dungeon.
However, since even Twilight City would enter the dungeon this time, he should recruit more troops.
Just as he pondered, a surprised voice from behind interrupted his thoughts.
“Lord Richard, Lord Richard… Miss Emily is awake!”
Richard turned around and saw the overjoyed maid behind him. He let out a sigh of relief.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and slowly asked.
“Is there anything wrong with Emily?”
The maid shook her head.
“Other than scantly weak, there’s nothing wrong with Miss Emily. She’s currently drinking the Desert Crown Honey…”
Richard calmed down.
He stepped into the house and went up to the second floor.
As soon as he entered, he saw Emily half-leaning on the soft couch. Her usually lively eyes didn’t have much glow, and her face showed weakness from a long-term illness.
The young girl held a wooden cup with both hands and drank honey water with a straw made from a plant root.
After Emily saw him, she immediately smiled and called out to him.
“Father…”
Richard relaxed when he heard that.
He opened the attribute panel. The young girl’s status had become slightly weak, but it was not a big problem.
He went up and rubbed the little centaur’s head.
He said gently.
“How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Emily shook her head.
“Father, I’m fine with it. It’s just, it’s just…”
Her face as she spoke revealed a streak of pain, and she pulled out a hand to rub her temple.
Her voice trembled.
“I had a very long nightmare…” She said.
“Nightmare?”
Richard’s eyes narrowed.
“What was that nightmare about?”
The little centaur put the empty wooden cup aside and raised its head pitifully.
She hugged his legs with both hands and rested her chin on her thigh with a sense of reliance.
With a slightly immature tone, her organizational ability could have been better than an adult’s.
“Father, I dreamed I was watching over an excessively, extremely powerful deity.
“But the other party suddenly resurrected and wanted to kill me…
“I killed him after some time. But I discovered that his soul did not completely dissipate.
“To prevent him from resurrecting, I could only seal his remaining soul in a special area…”
As she said that, he frowned.
“And to suppress him again in the future, I left a special treasure inside.”
“But I just sensed that thing is calling me.
“The sealed god has resurrected.”
She then added.
“However, the god is weak and can’t break the seal I’ve set up…”
As she spoke, she lifted him slightly, her chin off her knees, and her eyes were a little dizzy.
“Father, am I genuinely just dreaming?
“You see…”
The little centaur stretched out her hand and revealed her wrist.
Richard looked down and saw a thumb-sized golden rune that shimmered on it.
The aura it exuded was notably special.
“Emily, what is this rune?”
“Father, I dreamed this rune could open that special area and control that treasure to seal that god again.”
She was a little annoyed.
“However, I’m too weak right now. I can’t activate this rune for the time being.”
Richard was a little surprised.
‘Wasn’t the cause of her collapse due to the god of kobolds’ divine might?
‘Instead, was the god sealed in the god’s kingdom in the land of the broken laws about to revive?’
While Richard thought of this, his face couldn’t help but turn serious.
He waved his hand and asked the maid beside him to call Xina over.
When Xina broke the seal, she obtained most of Emily’s memories.
He needed more information to support his guess.
Not long after, Xina came in a hurry.
After she bowed to Richard, she quickly asked about the centaur’s condition.
Her expression immediately relaxed when she received an answer that nothing had happened badly.
Richard didn’t waste any more time and asked Emily to tell Xina about her nightmare.
Xina listened diligently.
After Emily finished talking, Xina solemnly said, “Lord Richard, I didn’t get all of Emily’s memories back then. There are still many unclear parts.”
“However, the memory of the sealed god’s body is distinctly defined.
“Emily used a broken stone as the core to suppress the god’s body in her divine kingdom.
“But I don’t have a memory of what that broken stone was.”
Richard nodded slowly.
Unfortunately, now was not the time to explore that sealed-god country.
Xina had mentioned before several fallen murlocs with an average level of 15 in that divine kingdom.
The Twilight City still could not deal with the enemy.
Moreover, the instance dungeon was about to open. If some went on an adventure now, it would be good if there were benefits. If there were no benefits, it would undoubtedly have a tremendous impact on the upcoming instance dungeon.
However, he was not willing to just watch.
