However, at this moment, a ball of light appeared in front of Aquilo's corpse, and gradually condensed into a blurry figure. Although the figure's face was hard to recognize, it seemed to be the image of Aquilo, who was waiting for his descendants to resurrect, judging from his clothes.
Seeing that it was Aquilo's image, Edmund and Zumar knew that Aquilo might have left this image to tell his descendants something important. They finally relaxed their grip on the magic staff. Although they knew that it was just an image, the two of them still bowed to it respectfully as if they were really facing Aquilo.
Lin Li, who had been watching from the side, suddenly became interested. If he could listen to Aquilo personally, it would obviously be much more reliable than going through the messy ancient materials.
After a moment of waiting, the magical wave of Aquilo's image gradually stabilized, and a sigh was heard from the image. His sigh was filled with sorrow and regret. It was as if he was a loving old man who had seen his child do something that made his heart ache.
"You shouldn't have come here!"
The first sentence that came out of Aquilo's image made Edmund and Zumar raise their heads in shock. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. For thousands of years, the Illuminati had been planning to enter this place to resurrect the founding saint, Aquilo. Now, Aquilo's image was saying that they shouldn't come here. What did it mean!?
However, it was just a magical image that was speaking now. No matter how many questions Edmund and Zumar had, they couldn't possibly ask an image. All they could do was continue to listen obediently, and hope that the image would give them an answer in the next message.
Edmund and Zumar didn't wait for long. Since the magical image wouldn't try to guess the listener's thoughts and keep them guessing, it quickly continued, "Since you've already come here, I believe you have a certain understanding of this place, and have also felt the abnormality of this place. However, no matter what you feel, don't try to find out. There is indeed a shocking secret hidden here, but this secret will bring a devastating disaster to the Illuminati and the Gilded Kingdom. "
Aquilo's words immediately reminded Lin Li and Edmund of the God of Valor's temple that they had discovered previously. Judging from the information revealed by the temple, this place was indeed not as simple as suppressing the Ancient God of Light. Otherwise, how could it have attracted two deities here one after another, and even attracted a freakish figure like the Immortal King?
Lin Li could vaguely feel that the shocking secret that Aquilo had mentioned might be the reason why Geresco had lured him here. Aquilo seemed to know the secret, which filled Lin Li with anticipation. Maybe the next sentence of Aquilo's image would reveal the answer to him!
The image of Aquilo paused for a moment after he said that. It seemed like he was having a hard time calming down while he was making the video. After a while, the image said in a very serious tone, "You don't have to know what the secret is, and don't try to find the answer. This is a cursed sea, and even deities will fall here. That secret is not something that mortals can covet. After seeing this video, I hope you can leave this place immediately, forget everything here, and never come back! "
Lin Li was so angry that he almost vomited blood. What did he mean by there was no need to know the secret? I'm here for that secret! Of course, he also knew very well that it was best not to know the secret. If Aquilo really revealed something, the people of the Illuminati might not follow his words and never enter again.
Lin Li guessed that the God of Valor would fall here should be referring to the God of Valor. However, according to the information obtained from the temple, the fall of the God of Valor seemed to be caused by the Ancient God of Light. This seemed to have nothing to do with the curse, so why did Aquilo say that this place was cursed?
However, the image of Aquilo continued, "Perhaps, the descendants of the Illuminati are not the only ones who have seen this video. Perhaps, no one in the Illuminati knows who I am now. If you are still curious about this place, I can tell you a clue. Once upon a time, the powerful mage who had suppressed the Ancient God of Light had left seven Magic Towers on the seven islands in the sea. As long as one of you can master the mystery of these seven Magic Towers, there is hope for you to get the legacy left behind by that mage, which may contain the secret of this place. "
The latter part of Aquilo's words reminded Lin Li of the island where he found the Void Spirit Mageweath, and the seven Magic Towers that the Immortal King had created in the world created by Geresco. Through this point, he could probably be sure that the powerful mage that Aquilo was talking about was most likely the Immortal King.
When Lin Li came here, he found this ice island with the help of the location of the seven islands. At that time, he had already guessed that the seven islands that the Immortal King had set up had some secret connection with this ice island. Now, Aquilo's message was equivalent to confirming Lin Li's guess. However, Lin Li did not expect the importance of the seven islands to be related to the legacy left behind by the Immortal King, or rather, to the secret hidden here.
However, what gave Lin Li a headache was that the mageweaths on the seven Magic Towers were all real Divine-Smith-level mageweaths. He did not know how long it would take for him to fully master the seven Magic Towers. Moreover, it was not something that could be achieved with time alone. If he was lucky, he might be able to understand everything after an epiphany. However, if he was unlucky, he might not be able to see anything even if he stared at the mageweath for 100 years.
As for Edmund and the others, although they were also very interested in the secret that Aquilo mentioned, and even hoped to get the legacy of the powerful mage that could suppress the ancient god, they still had some self-awareness. They knew that the Divine-Smith-level mageweath was not something that they could comprehend. Besides, out of respect for Aquilo, the founder of the guild, they did not want to go against Aquilo's will.
Just as the three of them were thinking about Aquilo's message, Aquilo's image calmly said, "However, I don't think you will have any chance. He once said that one day in the future, another version of himself will come here again. Maybe …"
Before Aquilo's image could finish speaking, the mana that was maintaining the image seemed to have been exhausted, and the image gradually dissipated with a blur. As the image dissipated, the space also returned to its original state that was filled with light. It was as if it had gone from night to day.
Maybe what? Disappear after saying that, you bastard! Aquilo's last words reminded Lin Li of what Edmund had said before. Just as he was about to listen to the explanation that Edmund, who had interacted with the Immortal King, had, of all things, the image dissipated at this moment.
What did he mean by another version of himself would come here again? Lin Li had a feeling that the words left behind by the Immortal King might have something to do with him. In fact, his inexplicable transmigration to Anril might have something to do with the Immortal King.
Seeing that the image actually disappeared just like that, Lin Li really wanted to rush forward and shake Aquilo's corpse so that all the secrets would be shaken out. Fortunately, he remembered that Edmund and Zumar were beside him at the critical moment. They would definitely not let him do anything offensive to Aquilo's corpse.
Although Edmund and Zumar were extremely curious about the shocking secret that Aquilo had mentioned about this place, they still remembered that they were here for a mission. However, they still remembered that their mission here was not to explore the secrets of this place, but to revive Lord Aquilo with the relic. The Illuminati had waited for thousands of years to resurrect Lord Aquilo because everything else had to be put aside when it came to resurrecting Lord Aquilo.
Seeing that the surroundings had been restored to its original state, Edmund and Zumar also stood up from the ground, and immediately began to prepare for the resurrection ritual. The resurrection ritual was not complicated, and there was no need to prepare an altar like the previous holy relic collection. All they had to do was set up an Alchemy Array around Aquilo's corpse.
After the Alchemy Array was set up, Edmund stood in the position to host the ritual, and took out the holy relic Eye of Light. He then began to recite a long and obscure incantation. As he recited the incantation, the Eye of Light in Edmund's hand once again emitted a ball of light. However, this time, the light emitted by the Eye of Light was much softer than when it was in High Priest Poer's hand. No matter how strong the light was, it did not feel as piercing as before.
At the same time, the Eye of Light floated up from Edmund's hand, and slowly flew towards Aquilo's corpse. The Eye of Light gradually approached Aquilo's corpse, and finally stopped at Aquilo's chest. It then floated there and rotated slowly, continuously casting light on Aquilo's corpse.
Under the influence of the power of the Eye of Light, Aquilo's withered corpse was like dry land that had been moistened by rain. It could be seen that the skin that was like a withered tree bark gradually had a trace of vitality. However, this speed was very slow, and no one knew how long it would take for Aquilo to be resurrected.
