Adric College, Dean's Office.

"Lord Dean, do you have something to look for me?"

Franconian walked inside and asked Syvi, who was sitting in a chair with his chin propped up in his hands.

"You're not an outsider, I'll just say it......" Sivi sighed and said with a solemn face, "With the current level of our understanding of the human soul, it is almost impossible to cure Claude's ghostism. ”

The Skeleton Mage stood for a moment, then asked in his signature emotionless tone, "However, since you're coming to me, there must be more bad news than that, right?" ”

"Almost......"

Sivi smiled bitterly.

Last night, the academy system was updated again...... Although the basic settings have almost not changed except for an extra V2.0 Deluxe Edition World Realm chapter after the system name, the main quest that has not been moved for a long time has also appeared in a new quest chain again.

"Main Quest: Mysteries of the World Realm I - Soul Realm"

"Quest content: Choose one of the following two options to explore the mystery of the Soul Realm."

"(1) Soul War: If you choose this option, you will receive eighty-eight 'Horcruxes', each of which will resonate with the soul of the qualified person and exert incredible abilities. The Horcrux records the user's soul state and parameters, and according to the law of cause and effect, when two soul holders fight, one of them must die. The loser's soul data will be fed back to the Dean's Mage Tower in District 1 by the soul tool. When all 88 Soul Possession Eligible Persons have had a death record, the quest is completed. At that time. You will be given the 'key' to open the boundaries of your soul."

"(2) Soul Sacrifice: If you choose this option, you must kill ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people and pile their bodies together within three days. At that time, you will be able to directly learn the soul science of LV5."

"Mission requirements: Please select the corresponding option within 0:10 and 24 seconds, otherwise the mission will be considered a failure."

"Notes: (1) Soul devices are the manifestation of miracles. Most soul devices can make an ordinary person have the strength of a high-level magician. Soul devices have no effect on you or the person you designate. Once the quest is complete, you can choose to cancel the Soul Tool and have it disappear from the world. Soul Devices cannot be duplicated. (2) There is no limit to how a person can die as a sacrificer, but it must be done by you."

To be honest, Sivi didn't want to choose either.

The former is like a deliberate attempt to make a mess of the entire world. It allows ordinary people to obtain items equivalent to the combat effectiveness of an army. No matter which power in the Eastern Plains will be coveted......

The latter is more straightforward and wants to learn spirituality? Okay, let's kill tens of thousands of people for tuition first.

And this time, although it is indicated that it is the main quest, there are not only failure conditions. And the punishment after the defeat has not been announced...... Although I used to be used to being cheated by the system. I don't know why, though. This time, there is always a system that is not joking, but very seriously releasing this task, if the task fails. Then he will have a feeling that he will pass by the future.

It's a subtle feeling that is hard to put into words. It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for him to make decisions.

In fact, when this task appeared, its time limit was eighteen hours, but even after so much meditation, Sivi still couldn't make a decision.

"Now, I have two ways, both of which have a chance of saving Claude." He looked at Franconian without blinking: "But both methods have side effects...... The first is that it is possible to throw the situation in the Eastern Plains, which has been settled down with great difficulty, into chaos again, and the time for its completion is uncertain; The second, which requires the slaughter of 100,000 innocent people, can be done once there are enough of them...... If you had to choose between the two, which would you choose? ”

"If it were me, I would definitely choose the second one." Without hesitation, Franconian said, "I'm already an undead creature, and I have a natural hatred for the living. It's just that you're still human, and my choice isn't necessarily the right one for you. ”

He twisted the screws on his temples and said in a slightly admonishing tone: "Please don't let the momentary escape of the dilemma cause the never-ending regret in the future." ”

“…… It's Franconia. ”

Xiwei let out a long sigh, and could only say with a bitter face, "I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, it's my duty as a servant like mine to dispel the fog in front of you." Francony nodded, his voice seemingly softening.

Because he can't make a choice, he leaves it to others to choose, and this attitude is indeed proof that he avoids choice.

For Sivi, it's even more difficult than facing a hundred adult dragons.

"Without this level of enlightenment, one cannot access the mysteries of the soul...... Is this what the system is trying to tell me? ”

Muttering in his heart, for some reason, Sivi suddenly remembered the cold and painful expression that Fett had when he first came to Edric, talking about his transformation into a ghost species.

Just as cloning humans was a taboo on the earth before, the search for souls may also be a taboo in this world. Therefore, even in the mythological age when the magical civilization was extremely developed, there was no true sense of soulology.

So, what is the system asking him to do to the taboo?

A question from a long time ago resurfaced in Sivi's mind - what would happen to him if the academy system was in his mind? And what is the purpose? What does this have to do with his establishment of the world's No. 1 academy?

"Warning: There are three minutes left, please make your choice as soon as possible."

A long-lost tingling sensation appeared from the back of his tattooed hand, and rushed to his head at a speed of one hundred and twenty yards, causing a cold sweat to break out in his unsuspecting state.

"I've already said it, but I'm sorry again."

Sivi took a deep breath and said to Franconian again, "I might make a decision that isn't good news for you. ”

"If that's your will." Franken made a mage salute to Sivi: "I'll watch carefully from the sidelines until Claude ...... My son has left this world, or he has been reborn. ”

Sivi stood up, turned around, and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window at half of the academy and beyond the academy's infinitely expansive blue sky.

"Warning: There is one minute left, please make your choice as soon as possible."

"In that case...... Then let me also be the one behind the whole situation. (To be continued......)
