"After all, we are just undead. Unlike living beings, the soul power we have accumulated naturally contains the aura of death."
"Without the regulation of living organs and being in a cold environment all year round, once the power of the soul is too strong, it means that the death energy will also grow deeply in our soul body. In this case, the death energy will begin to
"The most obvious change is that it is much more difficult to control emotions than in the past. Although you will not lose control of your emotions, once you fall into a certain knot, it is easy to deal with problems emotionally."
When Froude said this, he smiled bitterly: "Some time ago, a group of talented people from Fire Hill Academy used Yada's kindness to tease him in the illusion trial in the orphanage. Yada's
His personality is naturally docile, and the death energy does not affect him much, so Ada is not very angry, but Shanni... was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she almost lost control of her emotions and killed those people."
"Fortunately, I discovered Shanni's abnormality in time and stopped her. In addition, Shanni herself acted as a butcher in the illusion, and the leader of Fire Hill Academy did not realize the seriousness of the problem, so there was no further trouble."
"But this is not over yet. During an exchange with Neia, I found that my emotions became a little different from the usual excitement. After careful study, I found out that it was caused by excessive soul power and death energy.
reason."
"However, after all, I was once a transcendent person, and I have a relatively thorough research on the soul. I can suppress the death energy to a certain extent. But Shani and Ada have no choice."
"So, after this incident happened, I asked Shanni and Ada to stay in the Wilderness of Dreams. Because here, their consciousness is not affected by the death energy from the outside world, and their emotions can rise and fall normally. However, they cannot always live.
In the wilderness of dreams, there will always be a day when you can get out."
"And if I keep suppressing my dead energy and don't have a clear channel, one day it will be backfired, so I urgently need to solve this problem now."
After listening to Froude's words, Angel roughly understood his request.
Solve the problem of dead energy.
Froude was an apprentice in the dream system during his lifetime, and had no cross-border training in the soul system, so now his only channel for help is Angel.
Angel would naturally not refuse Froude's request. Froude had sworn an oath to him, and as an agent, he managed the Dream Wilderness very well. On these two points, Angel also
Will try my best to help.
However, he has not done much research on the issue of soul death.
Angel pondered for a moment and whispered: "To solve the problem of death energy, we still need the help of professionals... I will help you ask the Wizard of Nice, he is in the Wilderness of Dreams now."
After a while, the figure of the gray-haired little old man appeared in the magic cabin.
"You brought me back to reality and let me re-enter just to bring me here?" Nice looked around in confusion, then leaned on the window edge and looked out: "Hey, Liana is actually here too?
"
Nice seemed to realize something, and looked back at Angel with a horrified look: "I understand, this is the address of the new city. Did Liana ask you to do this? She wants me to be a free laborer?"
"No, no, no, I don't want it, I want to go back." After Nice said this, his figure began to blur slowly.
Angel quickly stopped him: "Lianna didn't ask me to call you, and Lord Rhine has decided to issue a task to let others build the new city."
When Nice heard this, his figure gradually changed from illusory to solid: "Since Lianna is not looking for me, then why did you ask me to come here?"
Angel: "I have something I want to ask you about."
"You want to consult me? Is it something related to the soul?" Seeing Angel nod, Nice walked to the sofa and sat down: "Okay, for the sake of the login, I will help you for free this time."
Angel didn't waste any time and directly told the story about Froude.
Nice also knew about Froude's relationship with Angel and the Wilderness of Dreams, so he did not regard him as an outsider. He said directly: "Death energy is bound to appear in the undead. Once the death energy is too strong, it is easy to do something.
Although abnormal behavior is not as extreme as negative emotions, it is still possible to become undead. Therefore, if you want to continue to stay awake, you must solve the problem of death as soon as possible."
"When it comes to solutions, it's not that difficult."
"According to Froude's situation, I have three ways." Niss stretched out his index finger and made a "one" gesture: "The first is the simplest way, just consume the power of the soul."
"Because the emotional amplification caused by Froud and what he calls Shani and Ada is not caused by the infection of death energy over the years, but the power of the soul that is too full and comes with it, so it is consumed
The power of the soul can basically be restored."
"However, this method also has disadvantages. First, after consuming the power of the soul, the strength will decrease linearly, and without strength, you should know the consequences; secondly, consuming the power of the soul is only suitable for
As you are now, as time accumulates, more and more death energy will accumulate in your soul body in the future. This has nothing to do with the power of the soul. Even if the power of the soul is consumed by then, it will still affect you.
consciousness.”
In short, the first method Nice mentioned, although the simplest, is a method that treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Nice: "The second way is to stay in a place where there is no dead energy. For example, arrange a magic energy array to eliminate the death energy. I have such a magic energy array in my soul valley. As long as the magic energy array is still running,
Those undead spirits will not be contaminated by the death energy from the outside world."
Regarding this method, Angel still shook his head in his mind. It still did not cure the root cause. Although it could temporarily solve the problem of death energy, it also basically lost his freedom.
Nice also understood Angel's thoughts from his expression, so he stretched out three fingers: "The third method can fundamentally solve Froude's problem."
Angel's eyes lit up: "What can we do?"
Nice didn't show off, and said slowly: "Death Qi is a very special existence. It is not necessarily useless to itself. It also has some very strange effects. As long as you can use it, it can even be used to benefit yourself.
s method."
"Lord Nice, I don't know what this method is called." Froud couldn't help it at this time. Even though the first two methods are good, they have limitations after all. If it can be completely solved, or even used for one's own use, how can this be done?
Flood was unmoved.
Nice: "This method is what we soul wizards call soul tricks."
"The soul trick is a comprehensive method that combines the power of the soul and the death energy. It combines a variety of abilities, such as possession, blindness with the dead soul, transformation of the death energy, soul involvement, soul pollution... etc. It's like a magic trick
The tricks are the same and can cope with many environments, but their effectiveness and intensity far exceed those of magic tricks."
After listening to Nice's introduction to Soul Tricks, Angel's first reaction was not the strength of Soul Tricks, but the effects Nice mentioned... Angel was no stranger to them.
Back then, Angel encountered undead with similar illusion abilities in the forest outside Castle Black. There were also undead with no eyes who wanted to possess him. There were also some undecomposed corpses, and a lot of hair suddenly spit out from his mouth...
…Aren’t these abilities the soul’s tricks of possession, blindness, and death energy?
But aren’t these all the methods of the undead?
Angel asked his doubts, and Nice smiled and said: "You are right, some of the methods in the soul trick can be used by the undead as long as they exist long enough. Because this ability itself is obtained from the undead.
Learned it.”
"There is enough death energy in the undead. With the blessing of time, even if there is no one to teach you, just squandering the excess death energy will produce similar effects, but the focus is different."
"As for the soul trick, it is the ancestor of the soul system. It has summarized a variety of death energy utilization abilities from the undead. Therefore, it is more complete and stronger than the abilities of the undead."
Angel suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the abilities of the undead were so similar to the tricks of the soul. They were basically from the same origin.
However, this raised another doubt in Angel: "You mean, this is the ability of a soul wizard? Can Froud learn it?"
Nice: "Although this is an ability integrated by the ancestors of the soul system, it is not a spell and does not require a mental power model. Therefore, as long as it is a soul and has a certain amount of death energy, it can be learned."
"Then you will too?"
Nice nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, soul wizards have the ability to store death energy in the land of souls. Therefore, I will naturally know the soul trick... However, after all, I am still a living person. If I really want to use it, it is definitely not as good as death."
The spirit is more convenient."
When he heard this, Angel was already inclined to let Froud learn this kind of soul trick. However, what Nice said so far were all the good parts of the soul trick. If it were so easy to learn, he wouldn't put it in the third place.
In three ways.
Angel: "Then are there any limitations or dangers in learning soul tricks?"
Nice: "It is indeed dangerous for a living person to learn the tricks of the soul. But for the undead, the danger is not great. The worst is to become an undead..."
"If you learn this ability, you might become undead?" Angel was stunned for a moment.
Nice nodded: "Yes, after all, to learn soul tricks, you need to be in the death energy environment for a long time, to perceive it, integrate into it, understand it, and finally control it. In this process, a large amount of death energy enters the body, which is very
Might fall."
"Is there a way to avoid falling?"
"Yes, as long as there is a wizard watching by the side, if you can't hold on, stop immediately, you can avoid the fall to the greatest extent." When Nice said this, he sighed slightly: "Speaking of which, when I practiced the soul trick, I also
My mentor is here to protect me."
Nice emphasized a few more precautions and asked Angel to send him back to the First Heart City.
When leaving, Nice said: "If you decide to let him learn Soul Tricks, you can come to me, or go to the Cloud Library to find ways to practice Soul Tricks. However, the books on Soul Tricks in the Cloud Library,
The price is very expensive; I suggest you come to me, I am very cheap."
Angel smiled and said nothing. His Excellency Rhine has opened unlimited resources for him. Although this "unlimited" is not truly unlimited, but relative, he took this opportunity to go to the cloud library to get some books.
, is absolutely no problem.
After seeing Nice off, Angel returned to the magic cabin and looked at the silent Froude.
Froude's brows were furrowed and his expression was a little hesitant.
"What are you struggling with? Which method should you choose?" Angel: "Isn't it obvious? It must be to learn the soul trick. Although it sounds very difficult, even if you really become an undead, don't forget
I still have the prelude to reincarnation, so it’s no problem to bring you back.”
Froude hesitated for a while: "However, I remember that the Lord is currently cultivating and settling, so it is a bit inappropriate to choose the soul trick now... I personally prefer to use the first method first, which consumes the power of the soul, and waits for the Lord to settle.
After that, when I have time, I will practice the soul tricks again."
Angel: "What Nice said about consuming soul power is not only consuming the current soul power, but also cutting off a certain upper limit of soul power. It is rare for you to increase the upper limit to saturation and then consume it.
What a pity.”
Angel paused: "Besides, it doesn't matter where you settle. It's not far from your place now. I can just open a plane path and get there. It just so happens that I'll let Turas practice the soul trick together.
"
Angel's tone was very firm. He was still going to go to Froude to practice soul skills for them.
This choice was not one he made hastily.
Originally, he had not thought about leaving the Savage Cave during this period. However, Froude's incident was a cause, plus he had previously learned from Sanders that budding believers from the outside world had appeared near the Sky Mechanical City.
He did not appear near the Savage Cave, but he still planned to avoid it for the time being.
Another point is that not long ago he saw the name of the magic painting wizard in "Culori's Chronicle", which reminded him of the map of the tidal realm drawn by the magic painting wizard.
If nothing unexpected happens, the tidal realm should be in the Old Continent.
This time he went to find Froud, and he could also take a trip back to the Old Continent to explore the Tidal Boundary. According to the records on the map, there should be a lot of elemental life in it, and now he just needed to find a suitable elemental life.
After hearing what Angel said, Froud no longer insisted: "Then...thank you, sir."
Angel: "I will set off in a few days. If you want to go back to Chuxin City in the next two days, help me keep an eye on Leon. If he comes in, tell him that I am going back to the Old Continent and if he wants to come back with me."
"
Flood nodded: "Okay."
After the explanation was completed, Angel took Flood back to the First Heart City. Flood went to the Sky Tower to handle matters while keeping an eye on Leon, while Angel went to look for Lord Rhine.
