Chapter 324: The Imperishable Artifacts!!!
The Seats looked at Abdul with an obvious condemning gaze, not liking him saying more about this topic.
What did it mean they were not from this world?! Were they aliens?!! But Phoenixes and Qilins had existed on earth since, like always, right?!!!
Darcie couldn't make sense of it and felt that these truths and revelations were just too out of her reach for now. So she decided to clear her doubts slowly, taking her time.
"Then how are you all still alive?" Darcie asked, not letting go of her original query.
"We..." Hermes answered this time, his tone relaxing, "... are not alive."
"Huh?!" Darcie's eyes widened. "Are you all Ghosts, then?"
An enchanting giggle entered Darcie's ears, making her spin her neck towards Red Seat.
"Now, who of our stature would be foolish enough to become such an unsightly creature?" Circe sneered. "Except Yellow Seat, who himself doesn't know his status (-Abdul Alhazred stirred uncomfortably for the first time-), we have all died, naturally after living for countless ages. But Death's Authority is supreme, not letting go of any individual in this world."
Darcie could not make head or toe of these words.
It was the monarch who came to her help.
"Do you see the objects hovering above our heads, Darcie?" King Solomon asked, smiling. "It's not they who are attached to us, but it's us who are attached to them. You must be familiar with animated portraits of wizards and witches and the process behind their creation, right?"
