31. The last wishes of the elderly

Shen Ling swam in front of the statue of the god of the sea and reached out to take off the sapphire that was used as a pupil decoration.

"Go under the idol." Ash said. "I'll teach you how to use this."

Shen Ling fell under the statue and held the egg-sized sapphire in his right hand and looked at the ashes.

Ash taught, "This sapphire can only be used with soul power, infuse your soul power into the sapphire and try to see what's inside."

Shen Ling retracted his five fingers, clenched the sapphire, and tried his best to concentrate his soul power between his five fingers, and then flow into the sapphire.

The soul power was poured in, and Shen Ling found that he could actually use his consciousness to "see" the space inside the sapphire. The space inside the sapphire is so large that you can't see the end at a glance, but in such a large space, there is only a round ball with a faint white glow and an antique wooden box.

"See a glowing orb, it's a memory orb, take it out."

Shen Ling used his consciousness to take out the memory ball, and as soon as the memory ball was taken out, it was suspended in front of Shen Ling.

"This memory orb was left by my master to give it to someone who could fulfill his will. You hold it in your hand and let your consciousness go inside and see."

Shen Ling held the memory ball with both hands according to Ash's instructions, closed his eyes, and meditated to let his consciousness enter the memory ball.

The process was very simple, and the moment Shen Ling calmed down, his consciousness drifted into the memory ball. Inside the memory ball was a misty black forest, and the moment he stood still, Shen Ling smelled a damp and rotten smell from the forest, the yin wind was blowing, and Shen Ling, who was wearing nothing, hugged his arms and shivered.

The old man's domineering voice suddenly resounded in the Black Forest, startling Shen Ling.

"Boy, since you can get in here, you must be a descendant of the merfolk. I don't talk nonsense, old man, from the moment you came in, you were my apprentice. What I have left in this memory ball is all the information about soul power that I have collected over the years, and I have left it to you. Of course, this is just a drop in the bucket that my great orc priest has learned, hahaha......"

The arrogant laughter echoed in the Black Forest like a stereo surround, and Shen Ling, who was stabbed in the ear, covered his ears helplessly.

It seems that the owner of this voice is the former owner of Ash, as the new owner of Ash, and listening to the old man's words, it seems that he will be accepted as an apprentice by him as soon as he comes in, Shen Ling felt that it was better to say hello to the old man, so he said loudly: "Hello senior, I ......"

Before Shen Ling could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old man. "Are you talking to me right now? You idiot, don't you know that what I'm saying is recorded in a memory ball? I'm sure I'd have been dead a long time ago, hahaha-"

The corners of Shen Ling's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that the owner of Ash was quite childlike.

"Boy, you'll have to listen carefully to what I'm going to say." The old man coughed twice, and his voice became stern and straight, "I was originally a priest of the orc clan in the divine domain, and many years ago, in order to escape the scourge of the war of the gods, I led a small number of clansmen to come to this world with the silvertail clan of your merfolk clan. Because of their physical resemblance, my people quickly integrated into the human race, the rulers of the galaxy. Later, I don't know how many years later, we orcs have slowly merged with the human race to become the same race. But with the death of the first orcs, the orcs born in this galaxy have forgotten their true homeland. But as an orc priest, I can't forget it, and I've been longing to return to my hometown for so many years......"

The old man's words began to turn sad. "As a priest of the orc race, my life is too long. During this long period of time, I have seen the prosperity and strength of the human race after fusing the genes of the orc race, and I have also seen them gradually lose the power that the orc race should have been born with. Unlike our clan, your merfolk clan's inheritance of soul power has never been interrupted, and I have to admit that the silvertail merfolk clan is a very powerful race both in the divine domain and in this galaxy. ”

"But the fact that such a powerful race has completely disappeared in a few months is like a ruthless joke played by the gods to the silvertail mermaids, but his joke has also ruined my only hope of returning to the gods...... In order to return to the Divine Domain, I have done all I can for so many years, and I can realize my wish when I see it, but I didn't expect this to happen! ”

Shen Ling listened quietly to the old man's words, the more he listened, the more surprised he became, the information contained in the old man's simple words was so huge that it seemed to open the door to a new world in front of Shen Ling's eyes. But in the midst of his surprise, he also felt the endless sorrow in the old man's heart.

"Since I can't return to the Divine Domain before I die, I hope that after I die, I can return to my roots. Boy, you are now my apprentice, you will not refuse such a small wish from the master, right? ”

After listening to the old man's words, Shen Ling thought that the antique wooden box inside the sapphire should contain the old man's ashes, and Shen Ling was naturally willing to help him realize his last wish to return to the divine domain that he said in his mouth with his ashes. But this is simple, the old man is such a powerful character can't go back, how can he help him.

"Since you don't say anything, then I'll take you as a promise!" The old man said happily, "You must think you can't do it, it doesn't matter, as long as you go to the Mermaid Temple to receive the inheritance of the mermaid clan's space power, you will know how to reach the Divine Domain from here!" As for the things that need to be prepared, I have already arranged them all, and when you get the inheritance, I will tell you everything. ”

It's the Mermaid Sanctuary again!

Shen Ling's pupils contracted suddenly, and he lowered his eyes to think about this qiē.

All the secrets seem to point to the Mermaid Temple, and it seems that he must go to this place no matter what!

"But......" the old man's voice changed and said, "You must have only just awakened the first-stage bloodline power now, and you are a little stronger than the weak chicken." If you want to go to the Mermaid Temple, it's best to wait until you're strong enough. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, old man, if you can hear my words, I will definitely be dead. ”

Shen Ling: "......"

"No nonsense, now let you see what I left for you."

As soon as the old man's voice fell, the world in which Shen Ling lived began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

The misty Black Forest twisted and disappeared, and white light shone in. Shen Ling felt a shock under him, and the piece of land he was standing on suddenly turned into a transparent staircase, carrying him into the air. Countless words rose from the ground and slowly circled around Shen Ling's side.

Shen Ling read these words out in a whisper: "Strengthening, longitudinalizing, teleportation, mind reading, mental control, soul detachment, healing." ”

He didn't fully understand the meaning of these words now, but he already understood that these words were definitely related to soul power!

He excitedly stretched out his right hand and touched the "longitudinal object" that he was most familiar with now.

The word "longitudinal" flew towards his eyebrows and flew into his mind at the moment he touched it.

In an instant, Shen Ling's mind was filled with dense words.

Shen Ling calmed himself down and began to slowly digest the words in his mind.

When Shen Ling pulled his consciousness out of the memory ball, his stomach protested to him because of hunger, and he "cooed" twice.

Shen Ling summoned out the ashes and asked, "How long have I been inside?"

"One day and one night." Ash replied.

"No wonder I'm so hungry." Shen Ling stretched his waist, stunned for a few seconds, and after sorting out his thoughts a little, he said to Ash, "I heard your master's voice in the memory ball, and he asked me to take him back to his hometown. To do that, I'd have to go to the Merfolk Temple, but I'm too weak to get there."

"You'll grow stronger." Gray said in a deep voice, "You have the blood of the most powerful race in the galaxy in your veins."

……

When Shen Ling returned to the shore, Xiao Pang, who was looking forward to turning into a master stone, ran towards him excitedly.

Xiaopang feels so pitiful, for so many years, it has either been abandoned by its owner or fostered by its owner to others, if it hadn't lit up the skill of "finding the master" by itself, I'm afraid it would have become a stray rat long ago. o()o

Shen Ling picked up Xiaopang and flew back to the rental house where he was now living in stealth in the form of a mermaid.

After repeated experiments, Shen Ling found that after he obtained Ash's stealth skill, not only could he become invisible, but he could also make creatures that had physical contact with him reach more than eighty percent. This is quite convenient, but apart from the sapphire left to him by the gray owner, he can't let clothes, jewelry, and other things be invisible with him.

This means that if he wants to use the skill of invisibility, he must first strip naked, otherwise his clothes and pants hanging around in the air may not be too scary.

After thinking about it, Shen Ling decided that if he wanted to be invisible in the future, he would change into mermaid form, at least when he was in mermaid form, he wouldn't feel particularly embarrassed even if he didn't wear clothes.

Shen Ling rested at home for a few days, studied the words left by the owner of the ash in the memory ball, and waited for the basic school to mail him the qualification certificate for the entrance examination to the higher education school.

In the first two years, because he spent all his time on the study of soul power, Shen Ling's results in two consecutive graduation exams were not enough to qualify for the entrance examination of colleges and universities, but this year, he finally got excellent results and obtained the qualification to go to Kamilia.

Fortunately, he has worked hard in the past two years, and at the same time, he has saved enough money to travel to Kamilia.

When Shen Ling packed up and was about to board the spaceship to Kamilia the next day, he received a communication from the orphanage.

It was a junior from the orphanage who called him, and only one sentence was said there.

"The rich businessman who adopted Xiao Yan from the orphanage three years ago is here again."
