Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 355: Lin Ran Disappears

The bloody altar was silently suspended in such nothingness. It might be rotating slowly, but people standing on it could not notice it because they could not tell what was up, what was down, what was left, and what was right.

On the bloody throne, there was a black armor sitting there, but there was nothing inside. However, it maintained a sitting posture that was difficult to distinguish between deep thought and deep sleep. It looked like a sculpture, but it had a huge momentum like a majestic mountain! !
"Chief Instructor." Mo Fan looked at the black helmet robe silently, his emotions fluctuating a little.

“You are not my descendant.” The voice was deep and had the original timbre of Zhankong. The black helmet and robe were clearly empty, but a pair of eyes lit up.

“I may not be considered a genuine Bocheng person, but I am your student.” Mo Fan said.

The ancient king did not answer.

Mo Fan knew clearly that the "person" in this black helmet and robe was not entirely the cruel and great king. He also contained the memories and soul of the chief instructor Zhan Kong who swore to defend Bo City to the death.

He even went to Tianshan and rescued Qin Yuer, which was enough to prove that this was the Zhan Kong he knew.

Moreover, on the Bridge of Life and Death, Mo Fan did not step into the Gate of Death, which also showed that he had a little mercy on himself.

"There is a small town in the northern border that was plundered by the undead. All the people in the town died and turned into undead... Was this done by your men?" Mo Fan asked.

The "person" in front of him is the king of the Undead Empire. Perhaps even Han Ji did not expect that Mo Fan once again stepped into the Evil Abyss to question him face to face!

Compared to many disasters, the death of a small town might be insignificant, but in Mo Fan's opinion, this was far more serious than any disaster...

If this was done by the undead in the ancient capital, then it means that the undead pattern will be broken once again, and the undead will no longer live in tombs. They will once again invade the land of the living. This also means that the ancient king will declare war on the world as the King of Hell, and then drag the living into the abyss of death!
This is something Mo Fan doesn't want to see no matter what!

If the ancient king’s answer is: Yes!

Then Mo Fan would also declare war on the Ancient King here. Even if the person who survived inside him was the one he respected the most, Mo Fan would fight this dead king to the end as a living man!

"No." The ancient king replied.

Mo Fan's expressionless face finally showed a little bit of his former expression, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he was also very scared. He was afraid that the other party would answer in the affirmative. Then he would have to bite the bullet and say those words. He would have to transform into a demon right here... But in fact, Mo Fan was not sure at all. Even if he transformed into a demon, he would definitely not be a match for the dead king in front of him!
"She wants to see you. She said she doesn't care what you look like." Mo Fan said.

Qin Yuer has returned to her own life, but she is also waiting alone. Mu Ningxue will go to see her and talk to her. It can be seen...

The face of the ancient king slowly emerged in the empty helmet. It was Zhankong's face, but his skin was gray and transparent enough to reveal the densely packed black blood vessels on his face.

But soon, his face was hidden in the empty helmet again, leaving only a pair of eyes that were indifferent to everything.

Gradually, even his eyes disappeared, and on the entire bloody throne there was only a black helmet and robe that remained in a sitting position, lifeless, yet as majestic as a mountain!

“Chief Instructor…” Mo Fan called out again, his emotions seeming a little confused.

There was still no response, and only Mo Fan's own voice echoed in the entire bloody altar.

“Thank you for teaching me so much.” Mo Fan took a step back and saluted the black helmet as he did when he was training in Xuefeng Mountain. “I told Zhang Xiaohou that everyone has a person in their heart who can serve as a spiritual pillar. With him, they will not lose their composure even when great difficulties come. Even if the sky falls, he will still support their heart... Zhang Xiaohou said that this person in his heart is me. He asked me if I had such a person in my heart. I answered no.”

There was still no movement in the black helmet and robe, and Mo Fan seemed to be talking to himself.

After the voice gradually died down, Mo Fan laughed at himself and said, “In fact, I have lied to him. In many cases, I was actually playing the role of a helpless and trembling person.

.........

Mo Fan quickly returned to Hurhot, and then went to Khanzhong City. Just after leaving Shayuan, Mo Fan received news that the old herdsman who witnessed the destruction of his town had woken up.

Mo Fan rushed there, only to find that everyone in the room was silent.

When he looked around, he found that Qu Kang and Sister Fu were not there, and the other members of the prevention team were gathered around the old herdsman's bed.

The old herdsman's eyes were hollow, and it was obvious that he had suffered a severe mental blow. Mo Fan was not sure whether his mind had returned to normal.

“Mo Fan, you’d better listen to what he has to say.” Zhao Manyan said in a calm voice.

Mo Fan immediately walked over to the old herdsman and saw that the old man’s hands were still shaking uncontrollably.

"Uncle, have you really seen the pyramid?" Mo Fan asked.

Mo Jufan had already heard some simple descriptions on the phone, so he flew over directly. He thought it would be best for him to inquire about this matter in person.

The old man immediately raised his head, looked at Mo Fan with lifeless eyes, and then nodded.

"Can you give me a rough description of what it was like when you saw the pyramids? I've seen pyramids in Egypt before, so I want to compare them with your description." Mo Fan said.

"Light and shadow, dark light, and many, many undead souls, gray and black, triangular ruler mirrors..." The old herdsman spoke very incoherently.

When people are overly frightened or overly sad, their brains sometimes selectively forget, causing them to forget some images that are too devastating to their souls.

Now, the old herdsman is in this situation. He saw something extremely terrifying before. If he was asked to give a detailed description, he simply couldn't do it. He only remembered that he saw the pyramids, the dead, and blood...

“Nether Light… Mo Fan, this thing can only be emitted by the pyramids. I asked about it before you came. The Night Light he described is exactly the same as the mirage Night Light we saw in Egypt. It’s unlikely that this old man is mentally ill and made it up out of thin air.” Zhao Manyan said.

“The ghosts of the ancient capital are still in the tombs. The death of this town has nothing to do with them.” Mo Fan stared out the window. For some reason, the clear sky could not shine with the warmth it should have. It seemed as if something was hazy and obstructing it.

"Could it really be the Egyptian undead? But how could the Egyptian undead appear in the northern part of our country? This is absolutely impossible!" Qi Yang said in disbelief.

He had never heard of Egyptian undead appearing in other countries. Qi Yang had already reported the matter to the Magic Association before, but the Northern Magic Association insisted that some unruly undead ran out of the tomb and killed the people in the town.

Mo Fan wanted to continue asking questions, but a few people wearing white and orange clothes of the Judgement came in. One of them had a tall hair hat, which looked somewhere between artistic and weird. "We are He Feikun, the Judge of the Northern Magic Association. We want to ask this survivor some questions." He Feikun strode forward.

His words were not a request to anyone at all, but rather a notice to everyone to do what he should do.

"Old man, you said before that you saw the pyramids?" He Feikun asked, his words carrying some doubt towards the old man.

"I...I've said it before!" The old herdsman was already mentally ill, and now that he was being suspected like this, his emotions fluctuated even more.

"Humph, you can make up such a ridiculous excuse. In my opinion, you are shielding the murderer, right?" He Feikun took another step forward.

"How can you ask like that!" Qi Yang said with some dissatisfaction.

"Why I ask is my business. This place is under the jurisdiction of the Northern Kingdom Tribunal. I will be responsible for any problems. You people in the prevention team should do what you are supposed to do. It's best not to meddle in other people's business and interfere with our work." He Fei said arrogantly.

Before anyone could say anything, He Feikun stepped forward again, this time with a somewhat oppressive tone, "What pyramid? It's obvious that this was done by an evil necromancer. Although I want to take this old man away."

"What? He is our important clue now, how can you just take him away?" Qi Yang was immediately angry.

"Can you guys use your brains?" Judge He Feikun scolded, then looked at the prevention team and Mo Fan with contempt, "Now everyone in the town is dead, so why is he not dead? And this old man doesn't know any magic. If he could have witnessed the whole thing, how could he be alive? What's even more ridiculous is that he said he saw the pyramids... But the pyramids are in Egypt, where are the pyramids here? Every word he said is not credible. Either he is a mentally ill lunatic with a lot of useless things in his mind, or he is related to the criminals and deliberately confuses us!"

Everyone in the prevention group was speechless.

To be honest, they were willing to believe what the old man said at first, because they had also witnessed the dead and their description was very close to the scene they had investigated. But when it came to the pyramids, everyone felt that the old man might not have recovered mentally.

"I will get something valuable out of him later. Aren't you people in the prevention team tracking HJT? If this matter is related to HJT, then you can still intervene. But if it has nothing to do with it, then you should do what you should do!" He Feikun said without any politeness.

Then, without waiting for everyone to say anything, He Feikun had the old herdsman taken away. The old herdsman was scolded, questioned, and oppressed in this way, and his spirit collapsed again. He then smashed things indiscriminately, cursing some ugly words madly.

"See, I said he was a lunatic." He Feikun said with a sneer.

Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Lingling were furious when they heard what this guy said. They had worked so hard to find clues and uncover the truth, but now this bastard showed up and caused an important witness to collapse. How could they continue their investigation? ?

“Mo Fan, what do you think?” Zhao Manyan asked.

"I don't know either, although what the old man said is indeed ridiculous. The pyramid... this is unlikely. I was thinking about it when I came back from the ancient capital just now. It might have been done by an evil necromancer." Mo Fan said.

“I’m playing the previous recording for you. You should listen to what the old man says about Minghui. I’m also very confused right now,” Zhao Manyan said.

So Zhao Manyan played the recording to Mo Fan. This was before Mo Fan came. The old man was in a low mood but steady as he narrated Minghui.

Mo Fan listened very carefully, his brows furrowed.

“I don’t think it’s possible to describe it in such detail without having seen the real Minghui,” Zhao Manyan said.

“Yes, then he must have seen Minghui.” Mo Fan nodded.

"Doesn't that mean that he really saw the pyramids?"

"Is there any power in this world that can move the pyramid to such a far place?" Mo Fan asked.

"I think there is still a pyramid." Lingling spoke at this time.

The old man's description is very real. If we can explain why he is still alive, then his words will be much more credible.

“There is no point in making random guesses. Now they are the only ones who can confirm this.” Mo Fan said in a low voice.

"Are you talking about the extraditers Shepherd and Cheng Ying?" Zhao Manyan said.

“Well, I hope the old man is mentally ill, and he has integrated the false things he saw in certain movies and TV shows into his real world.” Mo Fan said.

It’s not that Mo Fan didn’t have any sympathy for the old herdsman, but he himself didn’t dare to believe it. If the pyramid really appeared in this northern border...

"By the way, where has Lin Ran been?" Mo Fan suddenly asked. He seemed not to have seen Lin Ran and thought he had gone to the toilet, but this time was too long, wasn't it?

Lingling said, "Lin Ran said he sensed it and went to investigate, and he hasn't come back since. I now suspect that something may have happened to Lin Ran, and it's related to what we're investigating."

Mo Fan opened his mouth. Lin Ran is missing?
……

At the same time, Lin Ran was held in the palm of Medusa's hand. She looked at Lin Ran with some curiosity. In order to capture him before, all the monarchs had taken action, but they still couldn't defeat him. Several monarchs were even seriously injured, and she was also injured.

Fortunately, the god of the underworld finally took down this human.

Scorpion Lord Medusa looked at Lin Ran. She was very excited. If she gave birth to offspring with this human, how strong would that be?
Thanks to her loyalty to the God of the Underworld over the years, the God of the Underworld was willing to entrust Lin Ran to her care.

Although he had many restrictions from the God of the Underworld on him, he still exuded a very powerful aura.

The God of the Underworld probably wanted to turn this human into his subject, so that he would have another master whose strength was second only to the God of the Underworld. However, this human's fire was so strange that even the God of the Underworld could not kill him.

It's amazing.

The snakes of Scorpion Lord Medusa all looked at Lin Ran.

The snake's eyes were full of curiosity.
