Chapter 137: Ancient Demon Spirit
Being so troubled by the zombie king, Xia Yi didn't even have the mood to scold him, and looked around the room, there was nothing left, only a high platform in the corner, which was inlaid with a large crystal bead and covered with dust.
Xia Yi wanted to break it off, but the bead was very strong, and it was not worth much to see how dusty it looked, and she sighed, "What about Sauron's legacy?" Even a box of gold coins is enough......"
Xia Yi was disappointed, think about it, this castle has been vacant for so long, and there is no prohibition, for so many years, I am afraid that the mercenaries passing by will empty this place, before Xia Yi arrived, even the castle was occupied by bear goblins, where will there be anything left?
She originally thought that the Skeleton King's lair, at least five or six legendary items, epic items, should be left for her...... There are also her scarce gold coins, high-grade magic cores, and rare minerals...... The result is nothing!
"Gold coins? I don't think he'll leave some useless metal here, as far as I know, he doesn't have a dragon hobby. The Zombie King said lightly, "But he likes to collect some strange things, you will definitely be interested, but unfortunately I don't know where he is hiding, I was still looking for it just now." ”
Xia Yi sorted out his thoughts, but still accepted this fact, in line with the belief that he would not let go of a stitch and a thread, Xia Yi dragged the only bead the size of a skull, and it could be regarded as income if it could be sold for a little money......
"By the way, honey, you can ask about it." Hyun Kyu reminded.
"Who?" Xia Yi stopped and asked blankly.
"This is a soul bead, and under normal circumstances, there is a soul living in it, but I'm not sure if the soul in this bead has disappeared. Sauron must have put it here with an ulterior motive. ”
The Zombie King leaned in and sniffed, losing his glorious soul orb. Nine times out of ten, the sojourning soul is dead, and he can't smell any of the souls.
"Are you sure?"
Xia Yi used his strength to finally break it off and blow away the dust on it, which was quite heavy and cool. In addition, the translucent beads do not have any eye-catching places, neither the brilliance of the night pearl, nor the transparency of crystal.
"Come out, you heard us, didn't you?"
Xia Yi said to the soul bead, if there are still souls inside, then they must be able to hear their words. It's just that the beads are silent, and there is no response.
For a long time, Xia Yi didn't wait for the soul to come out. Holding the soul bead high, he was about to fall directly to the ground, threatening: "Okay, either come out, or prepare to clean up the fragments of this bead!" ”
When Xia Yi's hand was about to fall, a voice finally came from the soul bead: "Smash it, so I can leave this damn bead and be free......"
Chailly smiled. Finally came out, though the soul's voice was disdainful. But mixed with some disguised anxiety, Xia Yi said; "How many years can your soul survive without the Soul Orb? Hiding in a bead is just for eternity, right? I'm sure you don't want to see yourself blown to dust by the wind. ”
Xia Yi knew that a soul that has lost its body cannot last forever. Even the soul fire in the forsaken land, if it didn't find a body, would dissipate sooner or later, so she was sure that it was a coward hiding in the soul bead. I didn't dare to let her smash the soul beads.
As she expected, the other party was silent, and then a ray of light shot out from the soul bead, condensing into a transparent figure, unable to see his facial features, only the phantom of him wearing a loose robe and a hat on his head.
"You're a mage?" Xia Yi asked in astonishment, if the Soul Illusion was wearing a mage robe.
The soul is like a cat that has been stepped on by the tail, and jumps to its feet in anger: "Don't compare me with that group of opportunistic people!" I am a noble magician! Not that lowly profession! This is an insult to my personality! ”
Xia Yi was stunned, a little dazed, and weakly asked the zombie king, "Is there a difference......
"Absolutely! It's not just the difference, it's the chasm! The soul exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"I want to hear about it."
"Uh...... Little one, you really don't know what to do? The soul asked, wondering.
"I really don't know what to do." Xia Yi pouted and said, "There is a little problem with your title, I am not a little guy, I am the owner of this ancient castle, everything here belongs to me, including this bead, as for you who live in it, you should call me master, understand?" ”
Xia Yi decided to blow his arrogance, she didn't have time to talk to this soul.
The soul quieted down, he floated, as if looking at Xia Yi, and then smiled: "Hmph, are you skeletons so arrogant?" The skeleton named Sauron had the same tone at first, if it weren't for the fact that he fished me out of the abyss, you think I would be here? ”
To be honest, Xia Yi was frightened, and listening to this guy's tone, he seemed to have some origins. Even though the soul of Zhilu Dao is detached from the body, he has no power, even if he was a magician in his lifetime. Xia Yi wanted to get words out of his mouth, and for the time being, he didn't touch his moldy head, and first probed the truth before talking.
"In any case, we may have to see each other more often in the future, you must not want us to get along unpleasantly, my name is Shay."
The demon spirit was satisfied with Xia Yi's attitude and said, "Angmar, magician...... By the way, how many epochs is there in the continental calendar now? ”
"The 12th Age of the Bright Calendar, 990 AD." Xia Yi caught the smugness in the demon's emotions, and she didn't pierce this fierce and introverted guy, "Ancient magician, you haven't told me the difference between a mage and a mage." ”
"Mage? It's just a bunch of shameless people. It's no wonder that you haven't heard of it, Sauron told me that now the continent has lost the trace of magicians, right? ”
Angmar spoke in a proud tone, just as elves disliked the ugliness of other races, and magicians always had some inexplicable superiority when talking about mages.
"It's like a potions master who broke away from an alchemist, at the beginning, the mage was actually the laziest and most mediocre magician, this should start with magic, magic is a talent given by the god of the elements, through the resonance between spiritual power and the elements, release powerful magic, I was born in the era of brilliant magical civilization, I am lucky, I have a talent for magic, and through hard work to become a magician......"
Xia Yi frowned, she didn't want to listen to Angmar's autobiography, she was only interested in Sauron's relics, but the demon spirit had been trapped in the soul bead for so long, and it was understandable that she had some desire to talk, so Xia Yi didn't interrupt him.
"The road of magic is very difficult, not only do you need to meditate and practice spiritual power all the time, but also learn complex magic spells, it is not comparable to the current spells, magic spells are obscure, it can be said that it is a more complicated language than dragon language, that is, low-level magic, it takes a few minutes to chant spells at the fastest speed."
"No wonder it is said that the samurai is the nemesis of the magician, and before he finished reciting the spell, the samurai had already cut off the magician's head." Xia Yi scoffed, this was more troublesome than the orc priest's war song.
"Fart! In those days, high-ranking samurai were just the retinue of magicians! Angmar angrily retorted, "You don't know how much a magician can make a difference on the battlefield!" Once the magician successfully unleashes the magic, it is enough to destroy an army of 10,000 people! ”
Xia Yi spread his hands: "That magician is not abandoned by history. ”
Angmar choked up, and he tried to refute in anger, but he couldn't say anything, he could only say indignantly: "It's not that group of abominable mages yet!" They steal the work of the magician, shorten the magic spell, and call it a spell, but it turns out that it is not half as powerful as magic! ”
It dawned on Shay that, in short, spells were a simplified version of magic! Simplifying magic spells at the expense of power has to be said to be a very wise choice, because the channeling time is too long, and it is an irreparable flaw.
"A profession that can't keep up with the times, the end result, of course, can only be the past." Xia Yi said indifferently, as if the druids who don't know how to be flexible will be forgotten by history after all.
Angmar was so angry that he vomited blood, and he floated around, and even the phantom became unstable. He knew that Shay had a point, but he didn't want to admit it.
Seeing that Angmar was silent, Xia Yi said semi-comfortingly, "However, the era of magic is an indelible stroke, isn't it?" Angmar, do you know where the things left behind by Sauron? ”
"I don't know what to do!" Angmar was immersed in desolation and said irritably.
"No, you know." The Zombie King said coldly, "You are the tower spirit of the Tower of Babel, you must know the way." ”
Angmar's soul phantom trembled, and looking at the zombie king's frosty face, he knew that if he didn't cooperate a little, he would drop the soul bead to the point that there was no powder left.
"Are all the undead so ferocious?!" Angmar was frightened, and shouted in her heart that the skeleton had no smile at the beginning, and without saying a word, she refined him into the spirit of this tower.
"I ......," Angmar said in a hesitant voice, "I am Taling, but you know that the soul bead is just a carrier, and the energy that my soul depends on comes from the castle, that is, the castle is inhabited by people, and I can survive." There used to be tens of thousands of skeletons here, but one day, all of them suddenly disappeared, so I was forced to fall into a deep sleep until you came recently......"
Xia Yi looked at the Zombie King, who nodded, indicating that Angmar was not lying.
"No, before that, there were a dozen bear goblins living here." Xia Yi said with an eyebrow.
According to Angmar, the skeletons suddenly disappeared when Sauron's soul fire was extinguished, and all the skeleton minions who had signed a contract with him died.
"That coarse, stupid bear goblin? They use the castle as a hole in the ground, providing less energy than birds nesting on their balconies. Angmar said disdainfully. (To be continued......)
