Angel looked deeply at the high priest, "Why do you think I am interested in the 'soul source' you talk about?"
The high priest raised his head and stared at Angel blankly.
Looking at those dull gray eyes, Angel always felt that maybe the high priest in front of him was not looking at him, but 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 very slowly, but every syllable seemed to have the power to touch people's hearts: "Even if it has not been polished or carved,
But your soul is still beautiful. If Lady Isabel were here, she would be moved by you."
"What on earth do you want to say?" Angel didn't like this kind of back-and-forth conversation with no message.
"What I want to say is, don't you want your soul to become more refined? The gray aura hidden deep in your soul also needs to experience a sweet rain, doesn't it?" the high priest said lightly.
Angel was silent, not only because the high priest told his purpose; at the same time, he was also surprised, how did this man who obviously only had a mortal body discover the... gray aura in his soul?
You know, when Nice wanted to find the gray aura, he made a whole plan, and finally used a spectrometer, and it took him a long time to find out the clues. This old mortal man, they officially met for the first time today, and the other party could tell at a glance
Did he discover the gravity vein hidden in his soul? This shocked him very much.
"How did you know that there is a gray aura in my soul? Did the soul source tell you?" Angel asked calmly.
The high priest shook his head: "Although my eyes cannot see people, they can see souls clearly."
Angel sneered. If you can see the soul and feel the gravity veins, why did Nice bother so much in the first place? Obviously the high priest did not tell the truth.
However, there is no friendship between him and the high priest, so it is not an exaggeration to hide something from each other.
"As you said, I really want to purify my soul. But I didn't come to Sipolok to purify my soul. I just came to help my companions." Angel said, "Of course, if I can change my soul,
It has to be more refined, which is an unexpected surprise.”
Angel deliberately described "purifying the soul" as an "unexpected surprise", but he assumed the identity of a wizard and deliberately lowered the bargaining chips in the transaction.
"If I want to get this unexpected blessing, what price do you need me to pay?"
The high priest smiled lightly and shook his head: "There is no price."
When you want to advance, you should suppress before you want to take. Angel does not believe that there is a free lunch in the world, so when the high priest said "there is no price", Angel was even more alert than before. Because, there are some
Time has no price, but it will pay more.
"Can the soul be purified without paying any price? Is there such a good thing in the world?" Angel's face was full of disbelief.
High Priest: "I think you have misunderstood. I said there is no price because you have already paid the price."
Have I paid the price?
"When you chose to change the selection location, you already paid the price."
"What do you mean by this?"
"Because, the purpose of selecting the Sky Choir is actually to purify the soul."
…
"If you have something to ask me for, you can go to the nearby Ten Thousand Souls Lake. I will always be there before the selection at night." The high priest left these words and said goodbye and left.
After he left, Angel fell into silence.
At first, he followed the shadow to Kulakuka's tribe, just to take a chance.
Now that the opportunity has come, he is a little timid.
The reason for being timid is that they are afraid of offending Castle Black. Although attacking Fiona is a little offending, after all, Fiona is only an apprentice, and they have not really harmed Fiona. Moreover, there is a shadow mediating between them.
I'm not too worried.
Therefore, the attack on Fiona can be revealed temporarily. 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 make it very clear that as long as he continues with his decision and changes the selection location to the Centennial Hall, he will have a chance to refine his soul.
But if he really makes this choice, the subsequent variables will be somewhat unpredictable.
Will Castle Black be truly offended by this move?
But now that he had the opportunity in front of him, it was difficult for him to give up.
Angel thought for a long time and decided to go to the Lake of Ten Thousand Souls first. He had been thinking about purifying souls before and didn't ask many questions carefully. He always felt that the high priest hid too many secrets. Now he needs to
Comprehensive more information to help you make a choice.
Wanhun Lake is located near the Centennial Hall.
When Angel arrived, the high priest was standing by the lake, looking at the lake with his eyes.
"Actually, you don't need to tell me, just let the selection take place in the Centennial 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 can't offend you."
"You could actually tell the Holy Castle, so you wouldn't be afraid of offending me. But you didn't do that because you also wanted to try to change the anxious situation."
The high priest remained silent.
"Why can choosing the Sky Choir purify the soul?" Angel asked the doubts in his heart.
The high priest paused for a moment, then turned to Angel and said, "Do you know the name of this small world?"
"Soul-based witchcraft garden."
The high priest didn't say yes or no. He just looked a little blank, as if he was recalling the past: "A long time ago, I served Lady Isabel, and she once told me that this place is actually called...the Garden of Living Souls."
The Garden of Living Souls? Angel was recalling whether he had ever heard of the Garden of Living Souls before. But he suddenly remembered what the high priest had just said, and he raised his head suddenly. He asked with a look of surprise: "You just said that you serve
Who?"
"Lady Isabel."
"It's rumored that Your Excellency Isabel didn't leave the wizarding world a thousand years ago? Could it be that Your Excellency Isabel didn't leave?" Angel said in surprise.
A bitter smile appeared on the high priest's face: "No, Lady Isabel left a thousand years ago."
"Then what you mean is..." Dodolo's image suddenly flashed through Angel's mind, "Don't tell me that you have lived for a thousand years?"
The high priest neither shook his head nor nodded, but said with a helpless tone: "Since I took on the name of high priest, I have lived in different bodies for thousands of years. When the body dies, it is replaced by another body. So, the living one
, it’s just a soul with memories.”
"The soul may not dissipate under special circumstances. But it is not easy to resurrect through a corpse." Angel said.
"I am not resurrected through corpses. I was refined into the soul source by Lord Isabel thousands of years ago. The central principle of the entire soul garden is the soul source. Therefore, the owner of the soul source, Lord Isabel, does not want me to die. I
It is impossible for me 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 can be regarded as a kind of eternal life, but the premise is that I cannot leave life.
Garden of Souls.”
Angel came to some realization. Although this kind of immortality is a deviant approach, it can only be achieved in the soul-based witchcraft garden...
"I just mentioned the Garden of Souls. I think you should know that different witchcraft gardens have different rules. The effect of the Garden of Souls is to ensure the absolute integrity of the soul."
Surprise flashed in Angel's eyes.
When he saw the old lady dead on the corner of West Pollock Street, he found that the old lady's soul was very complete, but he had not realized it at the time. Now after hearing what the high priest said, he suddenly recalled the records he had read in the book.
.
Only after the death of an extraordinary person can an absolutely complete soul appear. After the death of a mortal, generally speaking, only some ignorant light spots or soul fragments will appear. Only mortals with strong obsessions or naturally high mental power values can have
The chance of keeping the soul intact is very low. That old lady has neither obsession nor high mental strength. How can she have a complete soul?
It’s obviously the effect of the Living Soul Garden!
What does this mean? For soul-based wizards, this is simply a paradise for research!
Moreover, the consumption of souls has always been high. Not only the soul system, but also the alchemical golems of epigraphy and the evil spirit potions of pharmacy, even for the application of spells, all require intact souls.
While Angel was still surprised, the high priest continued: "Relying on the characteristics of the Living Soul Garden, the souls of our family can be guaranteed to be intact after death."
"But Lady Isabel, what she needs is not a mortal soul full of impurities. Therefore, Lady Isabel placed a secret treasure in the soul source. As long as the soul has been accumulated to a certain level, it can be opened through a specific process and scale.
Remove the impurities from the soul one by one."
"The specific scale you're talking about..."
"It's the Fairy Tale."
Angel frowned: "Anyone can be a poet, so why do we have to choose?"
"Not everyone's singing can activate that mysterious treasure." The high priest paused: "Bloodline is the key. Our bloodline was transformed by Isabel thousands of years ago. Among our descendants, there are only a very small number of women.
He has 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."
After hearing this, Angel understood a little bit.
Purifying the soul is not the ability of the Soul-Born Garden, 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 place was near the festival, where the other half of the secret treasure was buried. When the secret treasures are combined into one, it is not to purify the soul, but to remove all impurities in the soul, including emotions and memories.
...In the end, all the souls that died in the Living Soul Garden this year will be transformed into the purest energy body under the influence of the secret treasure. This energy body is called the Soul Pearl."
In other words, as long as he changes the location, the soul orb will not appear again. 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, then return it to the festival, and let it merge 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."
