Chapter 2703 Sage-level relic [Soul Gem]

The heavy fog created by the illusion covered the large pit at the old cemetery, so people on the ground did not notice the huge eight-ring life ring. After York Bronte's soul was shattered, only a translucent ice crystal of extreme cold was left floating in the air.

Shade stretched out his hand to take it, and a layer of white frost immediately appeared on his hand. Miss Danister explained to Shade and Iluna:

"This is the purest soul core after all soul impurities and powers have been stripped away. It is the most important part of a soul. It is said that the ancient soul masters were able to perfectly peel off such a core, but this technology is not available in the Sixth Age. Has been lost.

I must remind you that it is illegal to use soul technology to completely destroy a spirit body, and it is even more illegal to use the soul core as a ritual material or potion material, so you should not do this. "

She warned the "young people". Shade and Iluna both nodded. Shade also explained how to use it in the future:

"Dead Apostle York Bronte is dead. I will trade this soul core to an old god from the Fifth Age."

"But doesn't that cause a time paradox? I mean, the souls of the Sixth Age appear in the Fifth Age."

Iluna gestured and said, and Miss Denister explained to her:

"There is no time paradox when it comes to gods. For those great ones, the past is the future, there is no difference."

"And this broken soul has accumulated so many sins and paradoxes that I feel unsafe if I plunge directly into real death."

Shade also explained his actions. Neither of the two eighteen-year-old girls objected, but the matter was not over yet:

"What to do with these souls?"

Iluna pointed around. Even though the souls were no longer resentful spirits, they still looked very eerie standing on the snowy ice. But this time, there was no need for Shade to deal with it. After Iluna finished speaking, a few of the souls disappeared on their own, just like the Bronte family just now, and went to where they were supposed to go.

Most of the souls, attracted by the "edge of life and death" without any resistance, returned to that world of neither life nor death. Next, the church needs to re-seal it. The Five Gods Church has done similar things many times in the past year, so this is not a very big trouble.

Seeing the souls disappear, the red-haired girl reached out and waved her hand towards the water, and among the flesh and blood that had not completely turned into ashes, an aqua-blue luminous gem flew up.

"Whispering element? Is this a relic? Wait, is this whispering element a little too powerful?"

Shade asked, and Miss Daniste checked:

"It turns out to be this, the sage-level relic [Soul Gem].

Carrying it with you can restore your own spirit and heal yourself at the cost of consuming soul power; burying it in your body will further increase the ratio of this transformation. Moreover, holding gems can ensure the independence and integrity of one's own soul. It turns out that this is what it relies on. "

"What about the negative effects? This relic sounds very good. As long as you are careful not to consume your soul power too much, isn't this an excellent recovery accessory?"

Iluna also asked, and the librarian lady smiled and shook her head:

"It's not such a good thing. Do you know the origin of this relic? The original [Soul Gem] was the soul of a girl who had experienced a tragic life, and most of the people who used it seemed to be cursed by fate. Likewise, in the end, after the soul corrupted or deteriorated, it turned into the same gem. This relic ensured that the soul would not be torn or corrupted by external forces, but the user was more likely to be corrupted by himself.

There is no generally accepted result for the existing number of [Soul Gems], but it will not be less than 130. The effects of different gems are almost exactly the same, but the more pure the original soul, the better the recovery effect of the gems formed after the soul has deteriorated or fallen. Some people believe that the essence of this gem is a curse, but this is not a generally accepted view in the academic community. "

She held up the gem, which looked really beautiful in the snow:

"Souls that are completely in despair will turn into evil things called 'soul witches' through this gem. This kind of thing will not be less troublesome than the thing we just dealt with. After killing them, the new soul gem will be will be born. Fortunately, Shade directly froze Bronte's soul, otherwise I'm worried that we would have to deal with the next stage of Dead Apostles.

It has indeed prepared many means after 1821. I must admit that even if I perfectly recover to the thirteenth ring now, I am not willing to fight this thing again. "

However, she also admitted that if you only use this relic occasionally, then [Soul Gem] is definitely an excellent recovery item:

"Keep it, this trophy alone is worth our actions this time."

"I don't need this. I have a perfume bottle, and if I'm injured, soaking in water will heal me."

With that said, Shade handed the gem to Iluna, but Iluna didn't like this kind of relic very much:

"I don't want it. I'm just here to help. You are doing most of the work."

Only then did the red-haired girl remember to ask:

"Speaking of which, Miss Bayas, where did you get this chocobo?"

The red-haired girl even reached out to touch the fluffy hair of the yellow chocobo. Unlike little Mia, the chocobo was happy to be touched by others.

Iluna explained:

"The fortune teller asked me to come and see Shade. After I arrived, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get out of the forest, but Emilia came to greet me. Well, she didn't admit that she was Emilia. Anyway "She lent me this chocobo. She told me not to fly around in the forest on a skeleton horse. The Vesta Grove doesn't like undead."

"I feel like the people above must have guessed who you are."

Shade pointed to the top of the pit, and Iluna shook her head indifferently:

"If you know it, you will know that as the chosen one, it is my freedom to go wherever I go. The greater the power, the greater the freedom."

Then he excitedly said to Shade:

"I've never ridden a chocobo before, it's such a fun mount!"

"Did it run so fast because it was given a special blessing by Emilia? Let me guess. The Chocobo Oath?"

The eighteen-year-old red-haired sorceress asked curiously again, and Iluna nodded immediately:

"Yes, Emilia said that the thaumaturgy is called 'Chocobo Oath', and I don't quite understand it either. Oh, it's time for me to leave, Shade, I'm going back, as long as I can help you, I want Go back and tell Luvia that you are okay."

She said in a good mood, happy that she had been of great help in time. Then he returned the [Night Watcher] to Shade, and then rode on the yellow chocobo, which probably rarely left the forest. The chocobo's body burst with lightning again, and with a big jump, he took the hooded man with him. Iluna jumped into the pit.

"Who are you going to ask to explain to the church about Bronte?"

On the ice at the bottom of the pit, Miss Danister, whose red hair was fluttering in the wind and snow, asked Xiang Shade again that the effect of the [Spirit Elixir] was disappearing and her level was returning to the eighth level. However, Shade discovered that although the priest's magical potion could temporarily restore her level, it did not seem to restore her age.

"Yes, we still need to investigate whether the current Baron Bronte knows about Bronte, we also need to deal with the follow-up of the cemetery, and the manor of Prince William Anjou, and we also need to investigate Theodore Bronte The blood of the children of Te and Ben Bronte. Can the church recognize that the person just now is you through the spell you just cast? "

"Isn't it okay if I don't admit it? And I spent most of the time using a sword. Your sword is very good."

Shade nodded:

"Then don't go through the academy or the Witch Council. Then ask Miss Bell to write a report and give it to the church tonight through the black market."

He looked at the gem in his hand again, and then at the red-haired girl, who raised her eyebrows:

"Do you think that as the college librarian, I will lack such relics?"

So Shade put it away temporarily. Last time, he planned to give [Noble Blood Red] to Agelina as a gift, but the relic was traded to the hermits. Now this restoration relic looks good and suits the status of the little princess girl very well. However, the danger of sage-level relics was too great, so he planned to discuss it with Lesia before deciding whether to give this to Agelina for self-defense.

Above the pit, the hermits greeted the church and then retreated. They were alerted by the undead, but they did not want to get involved in the matter. The people in the church were still waiting for news, and when Shade and the red-haired girl showed up and said they would exchange information in the evening, the church's ring warlocks had no objections, because the [Night Watcher] was still in Shade's hands.

So Shade, who was slightly tired, returned to the city with the girls, and returned to the Accordion Hotel at four o'clock in the afternoon.

The witch who was looking at the snow from the window greeted them. Seeing that everyone was fine, she knew that the matter was successfully resolved:

"The noise you made just now was really loud. People in the city thought it was an earthquake. I flew to the roof and even thought about flying over to help you, but it seems that things went smoothly.

But speaking of which, do you know what’s going on when it’s snowing outside? This snow makes absolutely no sense, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't normally snow today. "

The red-haired girl looked at Shade, and Shade pointed at herself:

"I caused it."

The witch was a little surprised:

"Aren't you a magician who is proficient in the moon? I have never heard that you are also proficient in ice and snow spells."

"Of course this is not my power. It is very complicated to explain. Did you know that in the early fifth era, there was a witch emperor called the Ice Witch? She had silver hair and was very petite."

Miss Winslet thought for a moment:

"I don't know. Is this related to our topic?"

Shade said:

"It was the Witch Emperor who lent me power, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to change the sky on such a large scale."
