Chapter 252: The Price
Atul didn't dare to look at Theseus, his hands clenched, he didn't have anything of value left.
"Do you want to give up?" said Hughes, sitting on the edge of the carriage and looking up at the starry sky.
"But I can't come up with anything of value!" Atul smiled a little self-deprecatingly.
"What do you think of your life, your loyalty, and your soul?"
Hughes counted them one by one, but he knew that Atul would not refuse.
"My Soul ......"
Atul stared blankly at the back of Hughes, he didn't quite understand the meaning of Hughes's words, but no matter what, he could get what he wanted, wouldn't he?
"I will, I can give you my soul!" Atul said loudly, but it was Cynthia who was not far away that was awakened.
"It's my brother's voice!" Cynthia woke up immediately after being woken up by Atul's voice, and she knew that Atul must have gone to find Theseus by now.
"Close your eyes!" Hearing Atul's answer, Theseus smiled with satisfaction.
Although Atul did not understand Hughes's words, he obediently closed his eyes.
Soon, a purple silk thread burrowed into Atul's body, carrying a little bit of soul origin.
After putting away the Soul Origin, Theseus turned to look at Cynthia, who was hiding from the side and peeking.
"Ahh
Seeing that Hughes turned here, Cynthia let out a low sigh and quickly turned her face to the side, worried in her heart, she was afraid that Hughes would do something to Atul.
"You can open it!"
After hearing Hughes's words, Atul slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xius with some blankness, although he didn't know why Xius asked him to do this, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as if something very important was missing.
"What you want, I'll try to give it to you!"
After Xius finished speaking, he got up and returned to the carriage, and when Atul heard Xius say this, the discomfort in his heart was also swept away, and he began to look forward to the power he could control.
"Brother!"
Cynthia whispered to Atul in the distance, and she only dared to come out after seeing that Hughes had returned.
"Did you get the noise?"
Looking at the position of the carriage, Atul slowly walked to Cynthia's side.
"No, you ...... just now" Cynthia didn't know what to say for a moment.
"The adults didn't take me as a student, but he promised to give me the strength I had been craving!"
Atul didn't hide what had just happened and told his sister about it.
"So, what about the price?" Cynthia knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and you have to pay if you want it.
"My life, my loyalty, and my soul!" Atul still didn't understand what Hughes meant, he could understand life and loyalty, but this soul, he was a little elusive.
"Your Excellency just took your soul......" Cynthia said with some trembling eyes, realizing that what Hughes had done was similar to the stories she'd seen about ordinary people trading with demons.
"Was it just now?" Atul heard his sister say this, and although he felt a little strange in his heart, he was still a little afraid.
"Hmm!" Cynthia then told Atul what she had just seen.
"It's okay, our lives have long been adult's!" After listening to Cynthia's description, Atul smiled calmly, and when he begged Xiusi to save Cynthia, he promised the other party.
"Hmm!" Cynthia didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Rest early!"
Seeing that Cynthia didn't say anything, Atul patted the other party's head, and then returned to his resting place.
"Hopefully it'll be fine!" Remembering what Theseus had done to Atul before, Cynthia's back couldn't help but feel a chill.
After Atul lay down, thinking about the strength he would gain, he slowly fell asleep, and there was still a hint of a smile hanging on the corner.
Cynthia was not so calm, and after thinking about it, she felt that she was also going to make a deal with Xius, so she should accompany Atul.
Theseus leaned back in the carriage, not knowing what he was thinking.
Originally, he didn't plan to help Atul, he didn't need the power of the big knight at all, and the wizard's words needed to invest a lot of resources, which was also what Xius didn't want, and the reason why he changed his attention was because he found some interesting things among the items left behind by Samuel.
In fact, since Hughes got the guidance to protect the inner space, he has not carefully checked the contents inside, including some things that Mavis collected from the silver rose in the back, and Xius has not carefully checked it either.
It's only when something is needed that Hughes looks for it in the space.
After these two days of meditation, Hughes suddenly turned his space on a whim.
It turned out that he had found something interesting, the bloodlines of some higher creatures.
These bloodline test tubes were all placed in an inconspicuous box at first, and after Xiusi opened them with some curiosity, several tubes of different bloodline essences appeared in his eyes.
Looking at these bloodline essence Xiusi was not surprised, Samuel himself was a bloodline wizard, and it was normal to have the bloodlines of other creatures.
Among these bloodlines, the most satisfying thing for Xius is the golden giant bloodline inside, and Xius holds it in his hand, as if he can hear bursts of roars.
This is also the bloodline that Xius planned to give to Atul, Xius took a look, and among several bloodline essences, only the bloodline of this golden giant was more in line with Atul.
He was going to prepare a bloodline transformation ritual for Atul, and he knew that the people from the church would definitely be waiting for him in Sail City.
And if he wants to leave this world, he will have to go through a vicious battle, and some of the team is still good.
After the golden giant's bloodline was taken out, Xius thought about it and took out a tube of the bloodline essence of the Tide Spirit.
The Spirit of the Tides was prepared by Hughes for Cynthia, and although Cynthia didn't tell him, Hughes knew that the other party would definitely accompany Atul.
These two tubes of bloodline essence are among the best among the many bloodline essences.
Each has its own characteristics, and although it is still far from Mavis's Infernal Serpent bloodline, it is enough for the two of them.
After preparing the things to be used in the ritual, Theseus intended to continue to fill in the mystical imprint in his sea of consciousness.
The bloodline transformation ritual can be carried out as long as it finds a relatively quiet place, and Xiusi is not in a hurry.
He was now a little eager to enter the dream world again.
Having only been awakened not long after entering, Theseus had planned to explore it for a while.
Although he didn't know the origin of the mysterious mark, Xius, his own situation, was affected by the strange force of fate.
