The high priest lowered his head and whispered: "That's ridiculous."
"I promised you back then, as long as what you said is true, I owe you a debt of gratitude." Angele paused and looked at the high priest: "If you have any requests, you can ask me now, as long as I can
Do it.”
Since he had made a promise, Angel had no intention of breaking his promise.
The high priest was silent for a long time, his thoughts turning over and over again, and finally turned into a deep sigh: "In the past thousand years, the thing I feel most guilty about is my people. I don't know if my request can be realized, but I have no
There are other ways to retreat.”
"What do you want to say?" Angel looked at the high priest, who knelt on the ground tremblingly.
The high priest made a long kowtow: "I hope you, sir, can save our family."
Although Angel roughly guessed what the high priest was thinking before he said it, Angel still didn't know how to react when he actually said it.
Saving a clan? This concept is too broad. He doesn’t know what the high priest requires him to do. If the scope is extended to the entire Kulakuka clan, he will never be able to afford it with his current strength.
When the high priest saw Angel being silent for a long time, he knew that it was impossible for him to save the entire clan. He sighed secretly in his heart and said the second sentence: "As long as you can guarantee that our clan will not be extinct.
, I feel very happy."
This sentence is the lowest limit in his mind.
"Actually, if you stay in the Living Soul Garden, there is basically no disaster of extinction." Angel said calmly.
The high priest shook his head: "Those who are shackled by others are ultimately inferior to others. I hope that even if there is only one branch of the Kulakuka clan, they can have absolute freedom."
“Is this the change you’re looking for?”
"Since you went to the Holy Castle, I have thought about it for a long time. Our family has fallen into a quagmire, and it is almost impossible to completely change. I have thought about it for a long time. It was us who made this choice at the beginning. I am the only one left in that generation.
I am alive, so I can only be responsible for this. I don't pursue comprehensive changes, because it is tantamount to slapping myself. Therefore, even if only one branch can have freedom, I will be satisfied."
Angel was silent. From the fact that the three Gao brothers shuttled freely between the outer, middle and inner worlds, it could be seen that the Kulakuka tribe was not banned. It was not impossible for them to leave the Living Soul Garden.
Really unwilling.
Therefore, the absolute freedom required by the high priest is actually from the source of "bloodline", so that the Kulakuka clan can have an independent branch line, which will not be affected by the magic energy array described by Sipolok, and can be free
reproduce.
This requirement is actually not easy to achieve.
Angel turned to look at the shadow and said, "Jami, Gao, and Jia Miao were taken into the Sky Mechanical City?"
Shadow nodded: "Yes, the Kulakuka clan has extremely strong micro-carving skills. My mentor values this skill very much, so he accepted the three of them. However, he did not officially accept the apprentices, he just put them in my mentor's name."
"Then do you know about their bloodline issues?"
"My mentor once said that the blood of the three brothers was bound by a certain foundation stone. I didn't understand it before, but now I generally understand. What the mentor was talking about should be the magic energy array carved under Sipolok." Shadow sighed.
, said to Angel: "The request made by the high priest does not seem difficult. But if you want to solve it, you must start with the magic energy array. But if you really move the magic energy array, you will definitely affect it.
whole body."
Angel understands Shadow's words. Because no matter how far Kula Kuka goes, after their death, their souls will still be attracted back by Sipolok's magic energy array. This is the bond connected to the blood. If it continues to be cut, it will
True freedom cannot be achieved.
"It's really not easy to fulfill this request. This old man is just trying to get his nose in the face." Shadow cursed secretly.
Angel replied: "If the three Gami brothers could gain absolute freedom, wouldn't you be willing?"
Shadow was silent, and it took him a long time to say: "Of course I am willing, but this is not a problem we can solve. This is the magic array arranged by the third-level true knowledge wizard. Who can solve the problem of their blood relationship now?"
The shackles? Unless..."
"Isabel herself." They both thought of this at the same time.
Angel lowered his eyes, and after a long while, he raised his head to look at the high priest. The high priest was still kneeling on the ground, and his body was mostly decayed. After kneeling on the ground for a long time, not only his arms were shaking, but sweat was also dripping from his body.
Bleeding from forehead.
"I..." After Angel said the first syllable, he paused for a long time before continuing: "I don't know if I can keep my promise, but give me a week and I will try it."
"If it doesn't work, I will ask my mentor for advice after I return to the wizard organization. If he has a way, I will come back."
Angel didn't say anything, but there was still a glimmer of hope in the eyes of the high priest. He had survived for a thousand years, and the thing he couldn't worry about most was his tribe. If a tribe could gain absolute freedom, then he would at least have peace of mind.
Already.
"Thank you, sir." The high priest's forehead touched the ground, and a pool of water smeared from where he kowtowed. It was not clear whether it was his sweat or tears.
After a while, the high priest stood up, wiped away the tears on his face, and bowed piously: "Sir, you are back now. Do you need to hold the ceremony now?"
Angel nodded: "In an hour, we will be at the Centennial Hall."
After hearing this, the high priest quickly retreated. Time was too short and he had to go back to the temple immediately to prepare everything.
After the high priest left, Shadow said: "Are you really going to find Isabel? If you make this request, let alone whether she will agree. Once she agrees, the opportunity and compensation she said she would give you will probably
It’s gone.”
"I didn't expect anything, so it doesn't matter if I have it or not." Angel's mentality was very relaxed: "What I'm most afraid of is that he doesn't make requests. The longer the favor is owed, the more it will be a thorn in his heart. He
I feel good if I can make this request immediately, even if it is difficult to implement. At least, I can clear up the relationship quickly."
Shadow thought deeply for a moment, and felt that Angel was right. The lifespan of a wizard is too long, and the later he gets stronger, the more difficult it will be to face human relationships. Now the high priest's request is just to ensure that Kulaku
If Ka is not exterminated, perhaps his request in the future is to protect the Kulakuka clan, or simply propose to confront Castle Black. By then, it will be even harder to repay the debt of gratitude.
The two chatted for a while, and then there was a knock on the door outside the hall, asking for an audience with the priest.
Angel glanced at Shadow and said, "Leave it to you."
After that, Angel hid his figure. The shadow also hid, controlling Fiona to face these selection priests.
Under the control of Shadow's puppet, Fiona's performance deceived all the priests. She ordered a few insignificant things in ambiguous words, and Shadow let Fiona go upstairs with the excuse of feeling unwell.
The knights and craftsmen left in the hall began to set up the selection venue.
An hour later, the knight and the craftsman left. A simple but exquisite stage showing ingenuity was erected in the open space of the hall.
Then, the high priest led a choir of nearly a hundred people into the hall.
The priests lined up to welcome the high priest into the hall with the largest ceremony.
At the same time, Fiona also walked down from the second floor and found a seat to sit down as if she was bored. Her eyes swept across the group of choirs, and the girls lowered their heads.
"High Priest, come here." Fiona stretched out her hand, and the transparent silk threads formed a bridge and landed in front of the High Priest.
The priests looked at each other in confusion. This was the first time such an opening had taken place. And in the past, the high priest had always stood on the top of the mountain temple to preside over the ceremony. Did he not expect that he would be greeted by the descendants today?
It was naturally Shadow who brought the High Priest here.
As soon as the high priest sat down, an illusion was arranged in front of him. When he turned around, he found Angel and Shadow sitting next to him.
"An illusion can confuse their eyes, and they cannot see the specific situation here." After Angel finished explaining to the high priest, he added: "Where is the secret treasure you mentioned that can purify the soul?"
The high priest stretched out his hand, and streaks of white breath visible to the naked eye came out of his hand.
As the magical aura materialized, a small object appeared in the hands of the high priest. The high priest gently tossed it, and the object became larger and larger. When it finally floated into the air, it had reached its normal size.
"Is it big or small?" Angel looked at the object carefully, "At least it is an advanced alchemy tool."
This is a black disc of unknown material.
From the appearance point of view, there is nothing special, and there is a thick patina on the disc, which covers many patterns.
Angel wanted to reach out and touch it carefully, but the high priest said: "The secret treasure has the Queen's mark on it. Except for me, anyone who touches it will be sensed by the Queen."
The so-called queen in his mouth is not Isabel, but her disciple Isabella, the current leader of Castle Black.
Isabella had a strange obsession with her mentor, so she not only changed her name, but also her title. However, the nickname "Queen Shen Mu" came from Isabella after she left the wizarding world.
I just took it for myself, which seems to be taking advantage of Isabel.
Angel still took back his hand. Isabella was too crazy. If he came into contact with this secret treasure, she would return to Castle Black regardless. Who knows what changes would happen.
Since it cannot be touched directly, it can only be observed with the naked eye.
There are no traces of magic patterns on the disc, so it is estimated to be "blending alchemy". The materials cannot be distinguished, and Angel has not done much research on blending alchemy, so he cannot figure out the reason for the moment.
But Angel felt it carefully and found a subtle familiar fluctuation on the disk.
It is very similar to the mysterious power he controlled not long ago.
He looked at Shadow, who also looked thoughtful.
"It should be something mysterious. I feel a hint of mystery." Shadow said.
Angel hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It should be, but it doesn't have much mysterious power. If according to what the high priest said, this is a prop that can be combined into one, then maybe the combination will become a truly mysterious thing.
"
Now, the mysterious power content in the single half piece is almost the same as the revolver he just refined.
Since this half of the mysterious object can "purify the soul", then... Angel began to look forward to what mysterious qualities the revolver he refined would have.
