Chapter 62: Eternal Torment
The team led by Wei Xu was the first to arrive at the meeting point, looking at the dazzling light emitted by the soul stone when it pointed directly at the blue soul in front of him, Wei Xu also understood how this soul stone pointed the way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Oh, Master Mage, we meet again." The guy in front of him was Yubu, and the tone of this guy was so startled. "Don't point that at me all the time, it's just a little trick." Yubu said, with a wave of his hand, a white energy escaped from the soul stone, which merged into his body, and the bright light of the soul stone gradually disappeared.
"Has Master Sparrow come over?" Wei Xu asked.
"That old guy has already come, his determination is more accurate than yours, he came directly to my door, come with me, he has been waiting for you for a long time." Yubu said with a smile, leading the way in front.
This place is not a ruined wall like in the game, although it is not as complete as Skyrim Town, but it can also be seen as a small town. On the side of the road, I saw a few children chasing and fighting, a group of people playing unknown cards together, and playing chess, at first glance, it was quite lively.
"Looks pretty good over here." Durag, who was behind him, watched those people playing fascinated, and didn't say a word, and couldn't help but sigh.
Yubu, who heard this sentence earlier, stopped and slowly turned to look at Durag: "If you were locked up for hundreds of thousands of years in this place where birds don't, what would you feel?" ”
As Yubu spoke, one of the two men playing chess suddenly got up, laughed maniacally, and lifted the chessboard in front of him directly, and the chess pieces flew directly into a ball of light hovering in the air, letting out a scream, like a noise spell thrown out by Wei Xu. The children in the town, the adults playing cards, and even the men who had just played chess with him, all glanced coldly at the light clusters in the air, and then continued to chase and play one by one, playing cards, and playing chess to help themselves up the broken chessboard, and then play chess with themselves! It's so strange, so indifferent......
"This group of people has been here for 300 years at the shortest...... Well, three hundred years from the outside world...... The Soul Stone Tomb has a one-fifth of the speed of time in the outside world, which means that the shortest of them have spent 1,500 years here...... Every day someone goes crazy, and then they either come back in a few days, or they haven't been heard from since......" Yubu glanced at the soul light swirling in the air, and then as he spoke, he turned around again and walked forward to lead the way.
The reason why human beings think is because after living in groups, food is abundant, and they have free time in addition to hunting, and then they derive wisdom, learn to think, learn to create, and then use creation to hunt to get more food, get more free time, and so on under the virtuous circle, human beings can be "civilized". Human intelligence is the dependence of human beings to be ahead of other creatures, but in the Soul Stone Tomb, this greatest leading reliance has become a bad news. In the Soul Stone Mound, the human soul hardly needs to ingest food, does not need to work and hunt, just eat a soul shell every once in a while, what do you do with the rest of the time? No normal person can repeat some limited activities and persist for thousands of years.
In this place, although the human soul is given the final habitat and the last eternal life, this oppressive environment and oppressive atmosphere completely form a small dark house, where all thinking intelligent creatures can taste the torture of time loneliness and the torment of all new things gradually becoming boring...... Eternity is not necessarily beautiful, and there is a dead heart buried under eternity......
Thinking about it this way, this soul stone mound where souls can't get in and out, the soul stone mound with no flowers, trees, blue sky and white clouds, is completely a large prison for these souls who have lost their physical bodies, these souls who have lost the pleasure that their five senses can bring. In this prison, the seemingly carefree and eternal souls are serving indefinite prison sentences with the indefinite time of this time.
"You're here? Did you run into Phoenix and Thero? In front of a stone "house", the group saw Sparrow who had just come out. The stone building, which can only be called a "house" for the time being, is in some ways more like a pavilion, surrounded by columns supporting the roof, except for a small stone table and two small stone benches.
"Mentor Sparrow, we didn't meet them on the way here, so I guess they'll be there soon." Wei Xu bowed slightly to Sparrow and replied.
"Then let's wait, shall we? Did you encounter any dangers along the way? Sparrow sat directly on the steps outside, and asked if Wei Xu had encountered any problems on the road.
"We didn't encounter much danger, but we encountered other living people." Wei Xu said with a serious face.
"A living person? No way? This place is alive and I really haven't met anyone other than me. Sparrow's face was full of surprise.
"Master, this time it may be true, it is a group of necromancers, they slaughtered the civilians of a village, and used their souls to open up the plane teleportation to and from the soul stone mound." Wei Xu shrugged his shoulders and told Sparrow in detail about the hunter's corpse encountered on the way.
"Necromancer? Figoro? Did those guys get here?! Sparrow's face was full of shock, and his face was full of anger after hearing that they had actually opened the door to the Soul Stone Shrine in such a cruel way as slaughtering the village. These wicked guys! Pray don't let me meet them here! ”
The Soul Stone Shrine is so large that you can't see the border, but fortunately, Sparrow's teleportation is still "relatively accurate", at least it can ensure that the entry location is less than a day's journey from this town at most.
With the necromancer involved, Wei Xu originally felt that his depressed mood was even more uncomfortable, and he missed the blue sky of the sky a little. Now I just want to wait for the other team to come over, and then gather the remaining students who have no contract to the creature to go out to complete the task, and then go back to the academy as soon as possible.
But at first, he always slapped his face, and the tiger man Tello led the students to meet him, but Phoenix was gone!
"We encountered an ambush by a necromancer on the way, Phoenix and I stayed behind, and then split up to lead the enemy away, but Phoenix was captured later......" This tiger man didn't know if he was telling the truth, anyway, looking at his pupils shrunk into a vertical line and constantly moving, Wei Xu couldn't believe this statement.
"What? What are they holding Phoenix for? Where have they gone now? Sparrow stood up and asked excitedly, for though he was already seventy or eighty, he still felt as excited as a young man.
