There are two major mysteries in Boluogo's life. One is why he came to this world, and the other is who is the devil with whom he made a deal?
Unlike the Tyrant and the Scarlet Matron, these two devils can contact each other in many ways, even face-to-face communication, but unlike the devil who traded away his soul, from the day when Bologo became a debtor, he
Then he disappeared and never appeared before his eyes.
Bologo forgot the contents of the transaction at that time, only remembering that the transaction took place during the battle of the Fall of the Holy City, but it was already many years later when the transaction was completed and he woke up again.
The memory became blurry and fragmented, and I couldn't even remember the appearance of the devil, as if the devil had never existed.
At first, Boluogo didn't pay much attention to it, but as he learned more about the world, he became alert and realized that all the disputes seemed to stem from the fall of the Holy City, and he became a debtor in the fall of the Holy City.
.
It was difficult for Boluogo not to connect all this, which made him pay more and more attention to the devil.
After repeated conjectures, Boluogo sometimes began to suspect that his ability to absorb soul fragments might not be some kind of special gift...
Just like those carnivores who, after being protected by the Scarlet Matron, can heal their bodies by devouring flesh and blood, is it also a kind of devil's protection to absorb the soul fragments by oneself?
Gifts and protection coexist.
Burlogo didn't see such an example in "The Devil and the Electric Guitar Instruction Manual," but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
There is also the void world that you will see after you die.
Boluogo feels that everything is meaningful, and he will not come to that world inexplicably. Even if it is nothingness, it must have its own meaning, and these two will be clues for him to chase the devil.
"You are really a weirdo, Boluogo."
TEDA looked at Bologo lying flat on the operating table. It was probably because the undead were relatively insensitive to pain and danger. Sometimes it was hard for TEDA to understand Bologo's thoughts.
"But let's make it clear first, I can conduct soul testing, but if you want to conduct a trial, you need to go back to the Bureau of Order, where there are enough alchemy materials."
TEDA said as he used belts to securely fasten Boluogo's limbs, and then attached electrode patches to his body. Densely packed wires covered Boluogo's body.
"I remember that the Bureau of Order would provide alchemy materials for free until I was promoted to a believer." Bologo said.
"It's like this. The alchemy materials required for the subsequent promotion of believers are extremely expensive and rare, so you need to work hard on your own."
Teda explained while busy, "Different alchemists will also come up with different alchemical materials, so the materials required for promotion are not fixed."
"I don't know about this. My knowledge of this knowledge is limited to The Golden Discourse." Bologo said.
"Then you are indeed a little ignorant. From the perspective of us alchemists, the "Golden Discourse" is just a catalog of knowledge... Then do you know the specific principles of promotion?" Teda remembered something and asked Boluogo.
The field of vision was covered by the lights above, and everything was white. Boluogo couldn't see TEDA's face clearly, and could only see a blurry figure.
"After passing the three trials, the body, mind, and spirit of the condenser have been further strengthened, and they have become closer to the ether. Promotion will sublimate the three together with the alchemy matrix, like metal metamorphosis."
Bologo recalled the knowledge explained in the book.
"Then do you know what the alchemical materials consumed in the promotion ceremony are used for?" Teda asked again.
"I don't know," Boluogo shook his head. He didn't know this. "What is it used for?"
"I don't know either."
Teda's answer was surprising. Boluogo looked at the blurry figure and cast a doubtful look.
"I can't describe this thing well... We can produce different effects by combining different alchemy materials, but in the promotion ceremony, the connection between the alchemy materials and the condenser is pitiful." Teda said.
"The alchemy materials don't affect the condenser?"
"Almost, the connection between alchemy materials and the 'Secret Source' is deeper than that of the Sublime One. It is like a kind of ticket. Using expensive alchemy materials will open the way to the 'Secret Source', thus allowing you to obtain the 'Secret Source'."
With the power of Yuan', complete the promotion." TEDA said.
"You mean, when I get promoted, I will briefly come into contact with the 'Secret Source'?"
Boluogo's curiosity was completely aroused.
Secret source.
This is far more mysterious than the devil, the ultimate source of all ether.
Alchemists believe that the "Secret Source" is the sum of all truths in the world, while Condensers believe that if you obtain the "Secret Source", you will gain supreme power.
It exists silently in nothingness, but is more tempting than the devil.
"When each condenser is promoted, your connection with the 'Secret Source' will become infinitely closer. Although this connection is very short-lived, and you may not even be able to notice it yourself, it is true."
"It's just like the three trials, right? The more we continue to etherify ourselves, the closer we are to the 'secret source', which means..." Before Bologo could finish, Teda interrupted him.
"Yes, every time you are promoted, the Sublimation Master will have an opportunity to meet the 'Secret Source'. The higher the level of the Sublime Sublime, the more you can feel the existence of the 'Secret Source', and the closer the connection will be.
.”
TEDA then mentioned another name with full respect in his voice.
"Do you know why the alchemists hold King Solomon in such high esteem?"
"He is the master of alchemy, and his mastery of alchemy has reached an unprecedented peak. Some people even think that he has mastered the truth...that is, the 'secret source'."
Boluogo told what he learned about King Solomon. It was precisely because King Solomon was infinitely close to the "secret source" that everyone unanimously chose to destroy him.
The information about the fall of the Holy City was strictly sealed and buried together with the secrets of King Solomon. For this reason, the information Bologo knew was compiled from the books of the Bureau of Order.
After so many years and numerous blockades, he did not get much information, and it was difficult to judge whether it was true or false.
"More than that," Teda added, "King Solomon is also a powerful condenser."
Boluogo thought of something, his eyes were full of disbelief, and then Teda's voice sounded faintly.
"He is not only a master of alchemy, but also a glorious one."
There is no need for Teda to tell what will happen next, Boluogo has already guessed it.
"Is this the reason why the Holy City was destroyed?" Boluogo's voice was trembling.
"At least, this is the case based on the information that I, the Director of Sublimation Furnace Core, had access to at the time, as well as my various personal inferences."
As TEDA spoke, he started the ceremony. The glow of the alchemical matrix glowed on the operating table, and golden dust spread everywhere in his field of vision.
"King Solomon was too close to the 'Secret Source'.
So close that he was almost awarded the sacred crown."
The crowned one.
Boluogo didn't have time to ask anything. The ritual had already started, and he felt a sharp pain like broken bones and needles all over his body. Dim arcs of light emerged from his body and appeared in Teda's eyes one by one.
In fact, what many people have not noticed is what the soul actually looks like. Some people think that the soul is an illusory spirit body similar to themselves, but Teda knows very well that the soul is actually a ball of light without an exact form.
The reason why the soul appears the same as a human being during the ceremony is because the soul carries the reflection of the body. When the body dies, the soul loses its restraints and dissipates.
If all this could be reversed...
If the body could bind the soul again...
TEDA did not continue to think about it, but focused on the test of Boluogo. The illusory light gradually became clearer. Compared with other people's souls, Boluogo's soul would undoubtedly be much dimmer.
This is a normal situation. After all, his soul is incomplete. Upon closer inspection, delicate tracks are entangled in it, which is the alchemical matrix engraved on the soul.
The golden dust began to fall and spread evenly on the illusory light. The glow of the spirit body was very stable, and there was no phenomenon of disintegration and reorganization. This showed that Bologo's soul was unexpectedly stable.
"It's really strange. How long has it been since you were promoted to Condensation Master that your soul is so stable? Or is it because of your immortal nature that your soul is also extremely tough?"
Teda asked in confusion, but Boluogo did not respond to his words.
Turning his eyes towards Boluogo, TEDA discovered that Boluogo had already closed his eyes, his face was pale and covered in cold sweat.
Looking at the electrocardiogram on one side, the undulating lines on it had long since disappeared, and turned into a straight line moving forward smoothly, with a long beeping sound echoing in my ears.
…
Opening his eyes, the coldness and deep cold spread throughout every part of his body. He raised his hand, and there were tiny ice shards hanging between the palm lines.
Boluogo returned to this world of nothingness again, where huge rocks collided and rubbed against each other, and dim or brilliant lights traveled everywhere.
Every time he dies, Boluogo can see such a scene, but usually, he cannot walk in this dead world for too long. Even if he wants to explore something, he cannot do it.
The most amazing thing is that it is difficult for Bologo to retain the memory of the afterlife.
Everything he experienced here was like a wonderful dream to Boluogo. After waking up from the dream, he would vaguely remember the scene in the afterlife, but the picture was always blurry and unreal.
During the implantation ceremony, he remembered that he had come to the world after death, and that he seemed to have watched a movie here. As for the content of the movie, Boluogo could not remember it at all.
Everything is broken and blurred, completely dissipated after waking up from the dream.
But after thinking about it, Bologo discovered one thing. Under normal circumstances of death, he would only stay here for a short time. Although the memory of the implantation ceremony was not clear, Bologo was sure.
, I have stayed here for a long time.
After simple elimination, Bologo believed that when the soul was affected and died, he could stay here for a long time.
Now it seems that Boluogo's conjecture is correct, so all that's left is to find it.
