Offered Into Marriage

It was midnight, and Yang Yang, who had always slept well, woke up inexplicably, and then saw that the house was brightly lit, and Archibald was also standing by the window looking out.

"what happened?"

Yang Yang sat up, listening to the small voices outside, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Archibald hurried over and put clothes on Yang Yang.

"An old man fell ill, and the village chief just passed by."

Yang Yang's heart skipped a beat, "Is it serious?"

Archibald's expression was also a little dignified: "There has been no sound since just now."

"Then let's go and see."

Yang Yang put on his clothes, put on his shoes and went out.

After going out, Yang Yang found that, except for the children, almost everyone in the village was awake.They all gathered in front of the sick old man's house, there was no noise, no noise, no sadness and tears, just kept there quietly.

Yang Yang felt that this scene was a bit weird, and he realized it after thinking about it—because the villagers were all carrying a simple lantern made of wood and grease.

"The duke is here."

I don't know who said it, and then the crowd turned their heads.

Yang Yang saw their expressions clearly, they were the same as usual.

—Is the old man all right?

Yang Yang thought so in his heart, but subconsciously felt that this was not the case.

At this time, the village chief's voice came from the room: "The little prince and duchess are here? Let them in."

Hearing this, the villagers quickly gave way to the door.

Yang Yang walked in with Archibald.

There are many lamps in the room, but they are not the lamps made of soul crystals that are used in ordinary times, but the same wooden grease lamps as the villagers outside.

One by one, at least a dozen of them were ordered in the room, which illuminated the room very brightly.

In the room stood the village chief and the rest of the old people. The sick old man was lying on the bed. He was trembling with staring eyes. His condition did not look good.

And the old village chief was holding medicine stone tea in his hand, obviously he had already fed it.

"Village Chief, how is the situation?"

Yang Yang was a little flustered, and his voice couldn't help but soften.

The old village chief shook his head and put aside the medicine stone tea in his hand, "It's time."

This time is talking about the life of the sick old man.

Yang Yang was stunned, but looking at the trembling old man, he still didn't give up: "Have you fed the medicine stone tea? How about some more?"

The old village chief: "The duchess also said that this medicine stone is not a good thing. To stimulate its medicinal properties requires the power of a soul beast, and his body can no longer bear that much soul power of a soul beast."

Yang Yang grasped the key point: "He is overloaded with the soul power of the soul beast, isn't the soul palace destroyed?"

The old village head nodded: "This is the case now."

Yang Yang only thought for a second before making a decision: "If I have a way to remove some of the soul power of the soul beast in his body, can I save it with medicine stone tea?"

The old village chief was startled, and looked at Yang Yang: "Clear the soul power of the soul beast?"

Yang Yang nodded: "I have some medicine here, which is harmless to ordinary people, but no patient has taken it yet... If there is no other way, can you let me try it?"

The old village chief smiled, then moved aside: "Yes."

Yang Yang took a deep breath and walked to the sick old man's bed, then he took out a red fruit from the Soul Cube by reaching into his pocket.

——Although the experimental results on animals cannot be used as a reference value, this is the only way now.

But Yangyang didn't eat it directly for the old man, but first opened the vision of the soul power, then released the soul power, pierced the fruit with the soul power, and then channeled its soul power to slowly send it into the old man's mouth.So that if something happens, the remaining soul power can be withdrawn in time.

While Yang Yang was feeding the old man the fruit, he was also observing the old man's soul power.

The soul power of the old man was very hollow, the abdomen was the most obvious, but to Yang Yang's surprise, the old man didn't have much black soul power.

When the fruit's soul power flowed to the old man's abdomen, it was instantly torn and weakened, but some of it escaped the damage of the soul palace and flowed to other parts of the body.

The soul power of the fruit can purify the soul power of the soul beast. Yang Yang has seen this process more than once, just like the one in front of him-they are like hunting spiders, turning into spider webs to wrap the black soul power of the soul beast, and then using The method of "death together" quickly disintegrates the soul power of the soul beast until it is completely eliminated.

But this time it was a little different.

After the fruit's soul power consumed some of the black soul power, a beige soul power suddenly appeared in the old man's abdomen—it was the soul power that Yang Yang had seen on Scarface, and it belonged to the medicine stone.

The soul power of the medicine stone needs to be stimulated by the soul power of the soul beast, and the soul power of the fruit is also judged to be the soul power of the soul beast by the detector.Because it is harmless to the human body, it does not increase the burden on the elderly, and smoothly stimulates the soul power of the medicine stone.

saved.

Yang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and after putting the last bit of fruit's soul power into the old man's mouth, he withdrew his hand and waited quietly.

But soon, Yang Yang realized something was wrong.

The off-white soul power devoured not only the black soul power, but all the soul power.

It is like a pen dipped in off-white ink. After painting on the old man's body, there is no hole, no black soul power, no "spider silk" white of fruit, and no white of the old man himself. soul power.

The only thing that can compete with the off-white soul power a little bit is the white soul power of the fruit. It is entangled and consumed with the off-white soul power, and merged into a whitish gray, but it is quickly replaced by off-white.

In the end, only the off-white soul power remained on the old man's body. Although it was intact, it was very strange.

"How could this be?"

Yang Yang stared blankly at the beige soul power, he didn't know why it happened, and what it meant.

"Hey."

The sigh of the old village chief rang in Yangyang's ears, "The Duchess's medicine is effective, but his soul palace can't take it anymore."

Yang Yang said unwillingly: "But you just said..."

Yang Yang paused in the middle of speaking, because he realized that what the old village chief said was "now and now".

The old village head expressed Yang Yang's thoughts: "It is true that he was overloaded with the soul power of the soul beast just now, but his soul palace is also at the end of his battle. If his soul palace was not damaged so badly, maybe the Duchess would have rescued him .”

rescue?

Yang Yang moved his lips, but made no sound.

And at this moment, there was a "bang!" sound on the bed.

Yang Yang looked back, and saw that the off-white soul power-wrapped body looked like a fish out of water, bouncing violently on the bed, and then returned to calm.

Then, off-white soul power began to fade from the old man's body, no, it was detached.

From bottom to top, with the old man's abdomen as the center, as if being lifted by a rope, the beige soul power slowly floated up, and the moment it left the old man's body, it turned into a solid, transparent jelly-like of white substance.

But within a few breaths, the old man's soul power could no longer be seen in the part where the old man was lying flat and in contact with the bed.The off-white soul power was like a piece of clothing, which was taken off by an unknown force.

And the jelly-like thing slowly bulges into a bag and gradually elongates...

It's like a soul born from the old man's body.

Yang Yang was stunned by the scene in front of him, staring blankly at the thing sprouting from the old man's body, unable to recover.

But Archibald has recovered, and took out a firearm from the storage space, loaded it with a "click", and pointed it at the old man on the bed—to be precise, it was the egg-shaped gun that the old man paid on his body. soul".

"Little Duke, don't shoot."

At the critical moment, the old village chief stopped Archibald's movement with a voice, and stepped forward together with other old people, blocking Archibald.

Archibald's face was cold, and he didn't retract his gun, "That's a soul beast."

The expressions of the old people were calm, but Yang Yang's eyes widened: "Soul beast?"

He has seen soul beasts before, in expansion packs and battle videos. ——Spirit beasts have all kinds of strange appearances, but each level is about the same size, and their bodies are translucent white, covered with blood vessel-like blue networks.

But the one in front of me doesn't have any blue blood vessels.

No, there is.

Yang Yang retracted the vision of the soul power, and then saw the connection between the "soul beast" and the old man's body, the place covered by the off-white soul power before, was soaked in a light transparent blue.

"He's not yet."

The old village chief looked at Archibald, "Please the little duke trust us and give him a little more time."

Yang Yang thought this was a bit strange, thought about it carefully, then his heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at the old man on the bed.

——Although the eyes were closed, the old man's chest was still heaving slightly.

"He's still alive."

Yang Yang was stunned, he couldn't understand what was happening in front of him.

The old village chief shook his head: "He is dead. But, he may be able to live in another way."

Archibald did not back down: "In what way?"

The old village chief didn't hide it either: "Soul."

Archibald frowned. Although Leicesters use soul power, they also have the concept of soul.But the soul is more a synonym for self-awareness, soul palace and soul power system.

In this way, an objectively existing "soul" is independent, even in this world, it is a myth.

"I know you won't believe it, but even if it's a soul beast, it's just a soul beast that can't even be considered an A-level beast. Wait a minute, little duke."

Archibald didn't answer or retract his gun, but he didn't fire either.

The old village chief smiled, then turned to look at the old man on the bed and his "soul".

They waited for another 2 minutes, and the old man's "soul" took shape completely. It was not the animal shape of a soul beast, but a human-like bowling ball shape.

The moment it completely detached from the old man's body, the old man's breathing was also completely cut off.But the light blue color at its tail didn't disappear, instead it flickered like a firefly, as if it was wrestling with something, the blue color would spread up a little bit, and then be suppressed a little bit later.

The whole process lasted about 5 minutes, and in the end, blue won.

The blue color began to spread upwards, not like blood vessel-like lines, but like soaked ink.

"Hey."

Seeing this, the old village chief sighed heavily, and the other old people also shook their heads.

Then, something that surprised Yang Yang happened—the old village head suddenly pulled out a dagger, and then stabbed it into the old man's "soul".

Obviously it was just a harmless knife, but the "soul" was like a punctured balloon, shattered in an instant, and then disappeared in an instant.

There is no soul crystal drop that is unique to soul beasts, nor any other traces.

After everything calmed down, Archibald withdrew his gun and looked at the old village chief, "That's why you didn't leave with us."

The old village head nodded helplessly; "Yes. We don't know why it happened like this, but the little duke may still be able to protect us with a simple medicine stone chip, but what if it is a soul materialization?"

Archibald frowned and remained silent - he couldn't help it.

Soul, a mystery that has lingered in Leicester for thousands of years and has not been solved, if a possible answer appears in front of the public, what will usher in?

The old village chief waved his hand to let the people outside disperse, and then said to Archibald and Yang Yang: "The little duke and his wife are going to rest too."

Both Yangyang and Archibald still have a lot of questions, but they both have the same premonition—the old village head won't say anything.

In such a village that is forgotten by the world, born with pain, and can only wait for death for the rest of his life.A destination after death has instead become their hope and belief to live actively.

Such a hope, even if the old village chief knew the "truth", he would not have spoken it out.

And Yang Yang and Archibald didn't want to break this hope.So they chose to remain silent and stopped asking questions.

Yang Yang: "Let's go back and rest."

Archibald: "Okay."
