Payne shook his head: "Of course it's not like this, my enemies are all dead, and I don't need you to help me kill people to avenge." ”

"And you want to be resurrected?" Roland asked.

"I can also transfer souls." Payne waved his hand indifferently: "As long as I want, I can find a random member of the royal family to possess him, and in less than five days, I can destroy his soul and replace it." But in that case, there will be no more enchantment in the royal tomb, and the souls of nearly 10,000 royal family members will be slowly taken away by the god of the underworld. ”

"And you want to?" Roland was a little puzzled.

Payne pointed to the giant Earth-Wandering Winged Demon behind him, "Help me break this thing down." ”

Decompose?

Roland looked over, the huge body of the Earth-Walking Wing Demon looked very terrifying, and Roland turned home again: "This thing should also be a soul." ”

"Of course!" Payne smiled very proudly: "Because before I made this enchantment, I calculated that the magic power generated by my own soul power can only supply the enchantment for about a thousand years, but if I drag an extra soul of similar strength in, wouldn't it be double the happiness?" ”

"Indeed."

Payne continued, "So I took advantage of the Demon Realm invasion to capture their commander, then stripped the soul and sealed it into this enchantment. ”

"Originally, I was going to chat with him, and we lived a soul life together for two thousand years, but this guy couldn't hold it in the past few years, and his soul consciousness became worse and worse, and now he can't speak. It's so disappointing. ”

Roland felt that being locked up for hundreds of years, facing the same scenery every day, facing an enemy, and being able to last for hundreds of years was already very powerful.

He said, "If you can seal it, you should be able to dismember its soul." ”

"Yes, yes, but it has to waste a lot of my soul power." Payne smiled: "I don't have a body, and my soul power is a little less, so it's more appropriate not to judge you." ”

Truly.

When a creature has a body, the soul is nourished in the body, it can be restored, and if it can be scientifically exercised, it can even slowly become stronger.

But a pure, soul-free soul without a physical attachment cannot become stronger in the main plane.

Unless you go to the underworld.

Absorb the breath of the underworld there, that thing is a kind of food for the soul.

But compared to the energy provided by the body, the quality and taste are still poor.

The big supremacy is the difference between boiled meat slices and dog food.

Roland understood what Payne meant.

Such a demon soul, placed here, although it will also be attracted, but it is very slow.

The enchantment is now absorbing the soul magic of both 'people' at the same time.

However, if the soul of the Earth-Walking Winged Demon is shredded, its soul magic will become extremely attractive.

The enchantment will prioritize draining the soul mana of the Earthwing Demon first.

That's it...... This barrier may not last for two or three hundred years.

As Penn said before, he used to be a demigod.

But now Roland senses that Payne is just a master.

Although the soul power is still great, it has become empty within.

"Actually, why don't you come back to life, old man?" Roland was a little curious: "Find a condemned prisoner who has committed the most heinous crimes, devour its soul, and then be reborn through the backdoor." Isn't that much better than you only sheltering souls? ”

"Child, you shouldn't have experienced many life and death partings." Payne asked with a smile.

Roland nodded.

Indeed, his parents, grandparents are still alive, the relationship is relatively close, and the relatives who are more familiar with him are also living well.

"Among those souls, there are my loved ones who love the most. My parents, my wife, my sons and daughters, grandchildren, and even my grandchildren. Payne smiled softly, "If I regenerate, they will have to go to the underworld." It's almost impossible for me to see them again. ”

Roland was a little curious: "You can also see them in the spirit world?" ”

"Of course I can, I will let my spirit out from time to time and watch them live a leisure life in this small world of royal tombs. For me, it's a blessing. ”

Roland probably understood the other party's thoughts and thoughts.

"Okay, if you break down the soul, you can teach me."

Payne said with a smile: "First of all, you have to learn to use spiritual power and turn it into a sharp 'knife'. ”

Three hours passed, and Payne explained a lot of tips on how to use mental power.

This benefited Roland enormously.

The application of spiritual power has always been one of Roland's shortcomings.

Payne, on the other hand, is all dry stuff, and the content is very basic, but quite useful and solid.

After Payne finished explaining, Roland did not hesitate to condense a sharp spirit scalpel in his hand.

"Awesome, boy." Payne looked at Roland in surprise: "Your talent is probably comparable to Mithra." ”

"Alright, now go and help me cut out the soul of that thing." Payne pointed behind him.

Roland walked over with a mental scalpel.

After a while, the soul of the Earth-Walking Wing Demon was dismembered into dozens of pieces.

Payne looked a little sad: "The old friend who used to scold and quarrel every day, goodbye." ”

If the soul is shattered like this, even if it is a god of the underworld, it is difficult to put it together.

"Spiritual attack is a powerful weapon against the soul, I hope you can use it cautiously after you go out, don't use this method to destroy the soul needlessly, it is very disgusting to the god of the underworld." Payne reminded Roland, and then he smiled, "The next thing is to teach you how to condense a magical body." It's not that I blow it, if I weren't bad at spatial spells, I would have been able to surpass Mithra with this skill alone, but unfortunately my talent for spatial magic is too short. ”

"So powerful?" Roland became more and more interested.

People who were contemporaries of the goddess of magic, Mithra, and could even become demigods, their techniques and theories should be quite practical, even extremely effective.

"Speaking of which, it's a bit of a trick." Payne said: "You need a lot of magic materials, even the herbs in the elven forest, and then make them into pills, eat them one by one, you can gradually expand the magic capacity of your body and increase the speed of magic recovery." ”

"Well, old man, please say, I'll write it down." Roland opened the system notepad.

Payne sighed nostalgically: "If it weren't for the fact that I was the only one who could be the king at that time, I would really have become a pure magician." ”

After sighing, Payne explained the method.

Roland took the system notebook, which was full of three sheets.

After Roland finished remembering, Payne said: "You are very talented, if you add this method of increasing the upper limit of magic power, if you have some special luck, get some useful magic guides and other things, and give you more than a hundred years of growth time, you can probably pull the goddess of magic off the horse." ”

"There's no need."

Roland shrugged, he didn't want to pull the goddess of magic off the horse, now he has a good relationship with Mies, in the future, Mithra wants to help Roland make money, make a lot of money, why pull her off the horse.

"You can do whatever you want, just remember to take care of our French royal family when you have time."

"Okay, no problem." Roland nodded in agreement, and then he suddenly remembered something very important: "By the way, this time I came with Stephanie mainly to check on a soul that glows all over my body. ”

Roland relayed Stephanie's description.

After hearing this, Payne chuckled, "Don't worry about Stephanie, Aegesva is protecting her. ”

"You know Stephanie too?"

"She began to follow her father to sacrifice me when she was five years old, how could she not know me." Payne smiled happily, "Although Achsva is a member of the royal family, she also has some demon blood in her. You also know how amorous our male aristocrats are. ”

"A child born to a demon?" Roland didn't think it was strange to have an interracial combination, and in the real world, there were many people who played with dogs and cats: "What did she know?" ”

"Because of the demonic bloodline, she sensed that there seemed to be a hidden evil bloodline in the royal city." Payne said, "And Stephanie is the future queen, so of course she can't be killed by the demons." So Aechensva left a 'land' in her soul, and in case the slightest hint of Stephanie was in danger, she could directly replace Stephanie in battle. If necessary, you can give up your soul and nurture Stephanie, so that her strength will greatly improve in a very short time, and the upper limit of growth will become higher in the future. ”

"So, the enemy is still in the royal city?"

"Yes, indeed." Payne said helplessly: "Now my strength has dropped so much that I can't see things outside the barrier, so I'm not sure." ”

"I see." The clues in Roland's head were connected: "So the third prince was tricked in to steal the necklace, just to let the souls in the royal tomb go to the underworld?" ”

"No, I guess I want to use it as a revenant legion." Payne thought for a moment and said, "There are many races among the demons who know how to control the undead. If the soul in the royal tomb is obtained by them, it will be a terrifying force that can sweep across the entire main plane with a little magic control and transformation. ”

"It's not that exaggerated." Roland smiled: "You don't take the Cult of Light in your eyes, and there is also a Cult of Life God, which is more restrained by undead creatures." ”

"Don't tear me down." Payne smiled.

After chatting with Payne for a while, Roland retreated to the spirit world.

As soon as he 'woke up', he saw Stephanie staying by his side, even leaning lightly against him.

It's normal to think about it, the entire royal tomb is just the two of them.

Then, next to it, there are dense ghosts watching, although you can't see it, but knowing that there is such a thing, you will feel uncomfortable all over.

When Roland woke up, his body moved slightly, and Stephanie found out.

She looked at Roland in surprise: "You're finally awake." ”

"How long have I been in?" Roland asked.

"It's been at least three hours."

Roland felt that something was wrong, and he and Payne definitely didn't talk for more than an hour and a half.

In other words, the passage of time in Payne's spirit world is much slower than that of the outside world.

He stood up and said to Stephanie, "Surely you didn't think of who I met in the soul world?" ”

"Who? Payne? Stephanie asked rhetorically.

"You're so smart!" Roland said admiringly.

"It's just a trick, because that necklace is called Payne's Legendary Necklace. If there is a soul in it, it should have a lot to do with him. Stephanie asked anxiously, "Did you get any news from him?" ”

"The erosion area in your head is actually there to protect you." Roland said: "If there is any auditory hallucinations while sleeping, don't be afraid, it's just the unconscious whispering of the other party's soul, and it won't be harmful." ”

"Why protect me in this way?" Stephanie keenly spotted the pinnacle of this: "Could it be that someone is going to be bad for me?" ”

"It's not just you, it's the royal tomb." Roland began to walk back and forth: "And Payne suspects that the demon is probably still hiding in the royal city. The other party is a demon who is good at playing with souls. ”

"That's right." Stephanie muttered, "Looks like we're going to have to ask the Magic Society for help." ”

The two left the royal tomb and got into a carriage and walked to the royal city.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the city gate, an archbishop wearing a red cloak took the initiative to come to the carriage, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Is Your Excellency Roland in the carriage?" ”

The carriage has Stephanie's personal coat of arms, so it's easy to recognize.

And Roland and Stephanie went out and didn't hide anything.

Roland lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at each other, and said, "I'm here, do you have something?" ”

"The Holy Maiden has something important to invite." The archbishop spoke softly and gently.

The Holy Maiden invited, and even let the archbishop come to the conversation, which was already quite face-saving.

Stephanie, that's just the kind of row.

Roland said, "When I escort Princess Celestia back to her estate, I will immediately go to Her Majesty the Holy Maiden." By the way, you haven't said where to meet. ”

"On the civilian street to the west of the Sanctuary, there is a small three-story building of cyan bricks, and Her Majesty will be waiting for you there."

"I'm white."

Roland then sent Andonara back to the manor and asked her to mobilize a large number of soldiers and a small number of royal magicians to protect her.

It took more than ten minutes to find the blue brick building on the west side of the civilian street.

Roland found the Archbishop waiting at the door.

He led Roland up to the second floor.

Pushing open the door of a large public room, I saw a blonde, blue-eyed, shimmering saint sitting inside.

The sound of the door closing sounded.

In the huge living room, there were only Roland and the Holy Maiden.

The saint wore a very white dress, and there were no valuable ornaments on her body, and her hair was tied with a headband and made a side ponytail.

Under normal circumstances, the saint does not tie her hair, but in the holy world, her hair is naturally scattered.

When I walk around, my long hair is drifting, and I still exude a little bit of light dust, which is quite beautiful.

Now she has a hairstyle instead, which shows that she has more respect for this meeting.

"Hello, Roland." When the saint saw Roland coming over, she took the initiative to stand up: "Shuke often mentions you, I'm really sorry that I didn't recognize you at Princess Celestia's manor before." ”

"It's okay, I'm ordinary-looking, and I'm not ridiculously handsome like Shuke." Roland smiled: "Shuke also often tells me some things about the Holy Maiden's crown. ”

"Really?" The saint's cheeks were slightly red, and then she immediately reacted, this was not right, so she became serious again, and said, "Peter, we have interrogated, and then I feel that there is something hidden in the matter, and I want to ask you to help." ”
