Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 385 The Garden of Living Souls
Angel took a deep look at the high priest, "Why do you think I'm interested in the 'soul source' you mentioned?"

The high priest raised his head and stared blankly at Angel.

Looking at the gray eyes without any luster, Angel always felt that maybe the high priest in front of him was not looking at him, but was looking at something else through his body.

"Your soul is very special. It's like a gem that has just been unearthed and has not been polished." The high priest spoke slowly, but every syllable seemed to have the power to touch people's hearts: "Even though it has not been polished, But your soul is still beautiful, if Lady Isabel were here, I would be moved by you."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Angel doesn't like this kind of conversation where you come and go, but there is no message.

"What I want to say is, don't you want to make your soul more refined? The gray aura lurking in the depths of your soul also needs to experience a rain, doesn't it?" the high priest said lightly.

Angel was silent, not only because the high priest had revealed his purpose; at the same time, he was also surprised how this person who obviously only had a mortal body discovered the... gray aura in his soul?
You know, when Nice wanted to find the gray aura, he also made a whole plan, and finally used a spectrometer, and it took him a long time to find the clue.This mortal old man, they just met officially for the first time today, and the other party saw the gravitational vein hidden in his soul at a glance?This shocked him very much.

"How do you know that there is a gray breath in my soul, did the source of the soul tell you?" Angel asked calmly.

The high priest shook his head: "Although my eyes cannot see people, I can see souls clearly."

Angel sneered, if you can perceive the veins of gravity if you can see the soul, why did Nice bother so much?Apparently the High Priest wasn't telling the truth.

However, there is no friendship between him and the high priest, and it is not too much to conceal each other.

"As you said, I really want to purify my soul. But I didn't come to Xipollock to purify my soul. I just came to help my companions." Angel said, "Of course, if you can change your soul It’s more refined, this is a surprise.”

Angel deliberately described "purification of the soul" as an "unexpected joy", but he assumed the identity of a wizard and deliberately lowered the bargaining chip in the deal.

"If I want to get this unexpected joy, what price do you need me to pay?"

At this time, the high priest smiled lightly and shook his head: "There is no price."

If you want to promote, you should suppress first, if you want to take, you should give first.Angel didn't believe that there was a free lunch in the world, so when the high priest said "no price", Angel was more vigilant than before.Because, sometimes there is no price, but more will be paid.

"There is no price to purify the soul? There is such a good thing in the world." Angel's face was full of disbelief.

High Priest: "I think your Excellency misunderstood. I said there is no price because you have already paid the price."

I have paid the price?

"When you chose to modify the selection location, you have already paid the price."

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Because, the selection of the sky choir is actually to purify the soul."

……

"If you have something to ask me, you can go to the nearby Wanhun Lake. I will be there until the evening selection." The high priest left these words and said goodbye to leave.

After he left, Angel fell silent.

At the beginning, he followed the shadow to Kulakuka's clan, just wanting to take a chance.

Now that the opportunity came, he was a little timid.

The reason for his timidity was the fear of offending Castle Black.Although attacking Fiona was already a little bit offended, Fiona was only an apprentice after all, and they didn't really hurt Fiona. Moreover, there was a shadow mediating them, so Angel was not too worried.

Therefore, the matter of attacking Fiona can be temporarily dismissed.But if he wants to change the selection location of the sky choir, it means that he has to change the rules made by Isabel thousands of years ago.

The words of the high priest are already very clear, as long as he continues his decision and changes the selection location to the Centennial Hall, then he will have the opportunity to refine his soul.

But if he really chooses this way, the subsequent variables are somewhat unpredictable.

Will he really offend Castle Black because of this move?
But it is very difficult for him to give up the opportunity in front of him now.

Angel thought for a long time, but decided to go to Wanhun Lake first.He had thought about purifying his soul before, and he didn't ask about many things carefully.He always felt that this high priest hid too many secrets.Now he needs to synthesize more information to assist him in making a choice.

Wanhun Lake is near the Centennial Hall.

When Angel arrived, the high priest stood by the lake, looking at the lake with bewildered eyes,

"In fact, you don't need to tell me, just let the selection take place in the century-old hall, and I don't have to worry about the choice." Angel said.

The high priest smiled lightly: "Whether it's Your Excellency or the Holy Castle, I will not offend you."

"You can actually inform Saint Fort, so you won't be afraid of offending me. But you didn't do it because you also wanted to try to change the anxious status quo."

The high priest remained silent.

"Why can the selection of the sky choir purify the soul?" Angel asked the doubts in his heart.

The high priest paused, then turned to Angel and said, "Do you know the name of this small world?"

"The witchcraft garden of the soul system."

The high priest did not say yes, nor did he say no.It's just that the eyes are a little empty, as if recalling the past: "A long time ago, I served Lady Isabel, and she once told me that this place is actually called... Garden of Living Souls."

Garden of the Soul?Angel was recalling whether he had heard of the Garden of Souls before.But he suddenly remembered what the high priest said just now, and he raised his head abruptly.He asked with a look of surprise: "Who did you say you served?"

"Master Isabel."

"It is rumored that Your Excellency Isabel left the wizarding world thousands of years ago? Could it be that Your Excellency Isabel has not left?" Angel was surprised.

A bitter smile appeared on the high priest's face: "No, Lord Isabel left thousands of years ago."

"Then what do you mean..." Angel's mind suddenly flashed Dodolo's appearance, "Don't tell me, you have lived for a thousand years?"

The high priest neither shook his head nor nodded, but said in a helpless tone: "Since bearing the name of the high priest, I have lived in a different body for thousands of years. When the body dies, I just change another body. Therefore, the living , but a soul with memories."

"Under special circumstances, the soul does not need to dissipate. But it is not easy to resurrect the dead body." Angel said.

"I am not returning my soul from a dead body. I was refined into the source of soul by Master Isabel thousands of years ago. The central principle of the entire garden of living souls is the source of soul. Therefore, the owner of the source of soul - Lord Isabel, does not want me to die. I It is impossible to die. My soul will never fall, even if the body disappears, it will continue to reincarnate in this world." The high priest paused: "This is also a kind of eternal life, but the premise is that I can't leave life. Soul Garden."

Angel has some realizations. Although this kind of immortality is a slanted sword, it can only be achieved in the garden of witchcraft in the soul system...

"I just talked about the Garden of Living Souls. I think your Excellency should know that different witchcraft gardens have different rules. The effect of the Garden of Living Souls is to ensure the absolute integrity of the soul."

Surprise flashed in Angel's eyes.

When he saw the old lady died on the corner of West Pollock Street, he found that the old lady's soul was very complete. .

Only after the death of an extraordinary person can an absolutely complete soul appear.After a mortal dies, generally speaking, there will only be some ignorant light spots or soul fragments. Only mortals with strong obsessions or naturally high spiritual power values ​​have a very low chance of keeping their souls intact.That old lady has neither obsession nor high mental strength, so how can she have a complete soul!

Obviously it's the effect of the Garden of Souls!
what does that mean?For wizards of the soul system, this place is simply a research paradise!

Moreover, the consumption of the soul has actually remained high.Not only the soul system, but also the alchemy puppet of Jinshi school, the evil spirit potion of pharmacy, and even the application of spells, all need a complete soul.

While Angel was still surprised, the high priest continued: "With the characteristics of the Garden of Souls, the souls of our family can be guaranteed to be intact after death."

"However, what Lord Isabel needs is not a mortal soul full of impurities. Therefore, Lord Isabel put a secret treasure in the soul source. As long as the soul has accumulated to a certain level, it can be opened through a specific process and scale, and it will be able to Eliminate the impurities in the soul one by one."

"The specific scale you mentioned..."

"It's the Goblin Epic."

Angel frowned: "Anyone can sing a poet, why choose them?"

"Not everyone's singing can activate that mysterious treasure." The high priest paused: "Blood is the key. Our blood was transformed by Isabel thousands of years ago. Among our descendants, there are only a small number of women. Possesses the bloodline that can activate the secret treasure. Therefore, we can only rely on selection to find the singer who can activate the mysterious treasure."

Hearing this, Angel understood a little bit.

Purifying the soul is not the ability of the Garden of Living Souls, but the ability of a certain secret treasure.

"But is there any necessary connection with me changing the selection location?"

The high priest shook his head: "The original selection site was near the ceremony, where the other half of the secret treasure was buried. When the secret treasure is combined into one, it is not to purify the soul, but to remove all impurities in the soul, including emotion, memory ...In the end, all the souls that died in the Garden of Living Souls this year will be transformed into the purest energy body under the influence of secret treasures. This energy body is called soul beads."

That is to say, as long as he changed the location, it was impossible for the soul orb to reappear.Is this the price he has to pay for choosing to purify his soul?
Angel thought for a moment, and asked, "If I purify the soul first, and then return it to the festival, so that it can be combined with the other half of the secret treasure, is that okay?"

The high priest shook his head: "No, every time the secret treasure is opened, there will be a buffer of 300 days and nights, and it is impossible to use it a second time in a short time."
