Volume 1: The Curtain of the Night, Chapter 17: Beginning to Act (Part 2)
After a period of discussion and planning.
When Fred gently patted Xia Zuo's shoulder, Xia Zuo's gaze shifted and slowly came back to his senses from Jasmine's body.
"Finished planning?" Xia Zuo calmed down and asked.
"Yes. Fred reclined in his seat, smiling.
"In order to prevent this monster from acting at night to destroy the city, we decided to start the operation at one o'clock this afternoon. Fred smiled.
"One o'clock in the afternoon...... Good. Xia Zuo nodded, "So how are you going to track me down?"
"We've already refined the tooth blood seeds we obtained into soul crystals, thanks to the help of a craftsman friend. ”
"Artisan friend, are you a member of the squad?"
"No, not really. Fred suddenly sneered, "If I could, I would have liked her to be a member of our team, but unfortunately, she wasn't." ”
"She? It turns out that this Soulborn craftsman is a woman. Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned, Xia Zuo and Fred all used the lingua franca of the Atlanta continent, and in this language, there was a clear difference between the pronunciation of "she" and "he".
A woman works as a craftsman...... Hey, I don't think this style of painting is a little weird.
"Yes, in addition, the craftsmen of the soul descendants are very different from the ordinary craftsmen you know, and women are not necessarily inappropriate. Fred saw the surprise in Xia Zuo's eyes and explained with a light smile.
"Soul Craftsmen are really a very rare profession, even rarer than Soul Descendants' psychiatrists, they have the same powerful and special spiritual power as psychiatrists, so they can make all kinds of alchemy items, soul tools, and refine soul crystals. ”
"The soul crystallization in our hands now was obtained by her transformation and refining the tooth and blood remnants we obtained through the transformation of the craftsman's ability. ”
"After all, if we were to operate it, we might mix the soul essence of these tooth blood seeds with the soul of the people behind the scenes, and it would be even more troublesome to find that blood demon seed. ”
"Later, I will give you the soul crystals of that tooth blood seed, and you should first remember the breath of this soul crystal, so that you can trace the source of these souls - that blood demon soul ghost. ”
Xia Zuo nodded slightly.
Fred stood up and walked to one of the bookshelves in the room, then opened the drawer under the bookshelf and took out a small box from the drawer.
Fred took the box in his hand, sat back down, and handed it to Shazo.
"That's what it is...... Contains the soul crystals of that Blood Demon Seed Ghost?" Xia Zuo opened the box, and in his sight, a black crystal about the size of an egg lay quietly in the box.
"Black?" Xia Zuo remembered that Fred had introduced the level of soul blood, which was judged by the color of the soul crystal formed by the blood of the soul descendant, so this soul crystal was black...... Could it be that this Blood Demon Seed Soul Ghost is actually the highest-level obsidian-level bloodline?
"Oh, this one isn't the same as our Soul Born. Fred had guessed what Xia Zuo was thinking, and explained with a smile.
"Our soul descendants are not born soul creatures, coupled with the fact that soul quality can be dissolved in blood, the soul quality of our soul descendants is mainly concentrated in the blood, so the purity of the bloodline can be judged according to the color of the soul crystals formed by the blood. ”
"But ghosts, which are soul creatures, are different. ”
"They are born soul creatures, in fact, their whole body is composed of pure soul quality, and there is no soul bloodline at all, so the bloodline level of the soul descendant is not applicable to the soul descendant. ”
"As for the crystals, they are black of the highest grade...... Soul ghosts that are completely composed of soul quality, and the purity of soul quality must be the highest level. ”
"Then why can we still defeat the ghosts?" Xia Zuo suddenly wondered.
"Stupid. Fred smiled, "This only means the purity of the soul, not the amount of the soul." ”
"Souls are completely composed of soul quality, and the purity of soul quality has naturally always been 100%. ”
"And the soul quality in our soul descendants' bodies, although the purity is not enough, is not necessarily less than the soul ghost, nor is it necessarily weaker than the soul ghost, after all, the soul quality is random mutation. ”
"Also, who do you think is more flexible with the use of souls than beast-like monsters like the Tooth Blood Spirits?"
"Undoubtedly, it's the Soul Spawn. ”
"So, power is not absolute, it's important to see how you use it. ”
After Fred finished explaining, Xia Zuo suddenly realized.
"Okay, you quickly memorize the breath of this soul crystal, and don't affect your actions in the afternoon. ”
"Understood. Xia Zuo nodded, and then picked up this soul crystal, Xia Zuo gently stroked this soul crystal.
"Perception...... Memory...... Retrospective......" Xia Zuo slowly closed his eyes.
The soul in Xia Zuo's body began to react strongly with Xia Zuo's wishes, and a certain energy from the soul continued to swim in Xia Zuo's body and resonated with Xia Zuo's spirit.
Soul Memory!
Derived from Xia Zuo's own ability to sense the soul matter, Xia Zuo memorizes the breath of the soul in his mind by being familiar with the target's soul quality, so that he can check it when launching the soul tracking, so as not to track the wrong target.
Xia Zuo carefully sensed this soul quality, and after a moment, slowly opened his golden eyes.
"Okay, I've basically memorized it. Xia Zuo smiled, gently put the soul crystal back in the box, and handed it to Fred.
It doesn't feel like it's that difficult...... It seems that I am really good mentally ...... Maybe I can get a second career like "Elixir Master" in the future?
Xia Zuo was a little smug and thought in his heart.
Fred's hand blocked the box from Xia Zuo and pushed it back.
"Put it there first. Fred smiled, "That would be more beneficial for tracking your afternoon moves." ”
Xia Zuo scratched his head, only to realize that he believed too much in his own abilities, and arrogantly returned the soul crystals to Fred.
Xia Zuo hurriedly adjusted his mentality, and then carefully put the box into his pocket.
"By the way, since this time you may have to face a monster whose strength is far beyond that of ordinary tooth and blood species, I suggest that you better watch from the sidelines, that monster is up to us to deal with, you are still a novice, and it is a little reluctant to deal with an ordinary tooth and blood species. ”
Please, I'm a hunter, and you're telling me to be there and watch?
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that this was indeed the case, Xia Zuo had to reluctantly accept it.
But I'll see if I can help you by then...... For example, mending knives and the like......
Ahem...... I'm not taking credit for it.
Fred finished speaking, and then left the office living room.
Xia Zuo watched Fred leave, and then brought a black trench coat, a plain black quill, and a small notebook.
"What is this?" asked Xia Zuo curiously.
This soul hunting team also distributes work clothes?
"Well, our action suit for the Night Veil, you can't let yourself wear those clothes all the time, the quality of those things can't compare to this, I'm afraid you won't be able to wear them after a few more battles. Fred laughed.
"As for this notebook, there is also a quill, which is a contact prop. ”
"Isn't this just a pen and a notebook?" Xia Zuo put the trench coat aside and looked at the notebook and quill.
"This is no ordinary item. Fred patiently explained, "It's a special item, and it's also made by Soulborn craftsmen, and the main material of that quill is the feathers of the captain's ghost beast crow. ”
It turns out that the crow named Borg of the captain is the phantom beast of the soul creatures mentioned by Fred before.
Xia Zuo remembered the strange crow.
Fred paused, then continued to explain.
"This notebook is tied to my and other team members' notebooks, as long as you write words in the notebook with that quill, the other people's notebooks will show the words you wrote, and vice versa. ”
"That's how we are connected inside the Veil of Night. ”
"Well, I see. Xia Zuo nodded.
... ...
After a long time, one o'clock in the afternoon arrived.
Natsuzo looked at the clock hanging on the wall and stood up suddenly.
Anos looked around and nodded to the rest and adjustments.
"Elsa and Jasmine stay here just in case something happens. ”
Jasmine and Elsa on the side bowed slightly.
Hey, won't she go?
Xia Zuo involuntarily glanced at Jasmine on the side, and his face looked a little disappointed.
Also, after all, I heard that Jasmine's identity is an elixir master, and when I hear this name, I don't feel like a combat profession.
Although I do remember that Jasmine was quite strong in combat......
In addition, Miss Elsa is a psychiatrist, and this profession sounds weaker, so it is normal to stay in the office.
Alas...... Wait, no, I'm sighing a hammer! If I don't behave well, I won't even be qualified to stay here in the future! So I'm still disappointed here? Hurry up and work hard.
Xia Zuo regained his strength and began to wait for the battle.
"The members of this operation are me, Fred, Ian, and you, the newcomer. ”
"The three of us are the main force, Xia Zuo, you are responsible for tracking, and you will notify me as soon as there is news, don't act rashly, understand?"
Captain, he seems to be getting a lot of words when he officially arranges the action...... It seems to care about his teammates and feels like it's a far cry from what it was at the beginning...... Captain, he's actually a good guy who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside...... Xia Zuo thought to himself.
"So, let's get moving. ”
