028, earthly python
Talos didn't give Bill a chance to trade the goddess clam pearls or mermaid eyes, and quickly returned to the room under the pretext that he needed to rest.
Of course, Talos, who spends most of his time every day on martial arts training, doesn't feel tired after watching a battle, the actual reason is that his soul fire is a little swollen after absorbing the soul of the goddess mussel.
This is really a new thing, Talos thought, it has always been smooth for soul fire to refine souls and absorb faith, and this is the first time that such an unmagical thing has appeared.
"Maybe it's because the strength of the goddess clam is too high!" After comparing his own strength with that of the goddess clam, Talos came to this conclusion.
Don't look at the goddess mussel was easily subdued by Lucia in close quarters, but her strength was a full two ranks higher than Talos, and she was the first third-order soul absorbed since she ignited the soul fire!
Just now, another person on the Galleon stood in Lucia's position, and definitely returned to the arms of the goddess of the sea when the goddess mussel released the first illusion.
The Talos snake coiled on the ground, handed over the weight of his body to his tail, closed his eyes, and immersed his spirit in the soul fire.
In a void, the crimson soul fire was refining a silver-gray shadow as obvious as mist, which was the soul of the goddess mussel with a strength of up to the third order.
Every time the soul was refined, the crimson soul fire faintly grew in a circle, bursting out with even more brilliant flames.
When Talos concentrated and gave it his all, the soul of the goddess clam vanished in a scream that resembled the cry of a baby.
"Master Talos, freshly baked Goddess Mussel Soup. A few minutes later, Alesha arrived in Talos' room with a huge bowl.
"Did you make a soup of the goddess mussels?" Talos was surprised.
For a moment, young Naga had the illusion that he was the Great Demon King.
Although it is said that those lighthouse jellyfish and praying mantis crickets were eaten by him in the past, and their souls were refined by soul fire, and the utilization rate was as high as 100%, but the goddess clam was a kind of high-level intelligent creature, but now it has become a big bowl of thick soup and sent to the table, and the contrast makes Talos feel strange.
"The high-quality ingredients, I promise are much better than any other soup on land. ”
Alesa didn't know what Talos was thinking, so she thoughtfully handed him a spoon and recommended: "If this bowl of soup is put in the Golden Empire and sold publicly, it will cost at least 200 gold coins." ”
"The thick soup of the third-order goddess clam is not something that everyone has the opportunity to eat, thanks to you, everyone on the Garon will get a little bit tonight. ”
200 gold?
Talos immediately took the spoon and scooped a spoonful from the large bowl, only to see a little mussel meat floating in the milky white soup, which was particularly tempting.
- This is the first time that Talos has drunk soup since he awakened his memory, a food that can only be found in terrestrial civilizations.
"It's so delicious!
After a bite, all the tangles were left behind by Talos, and it took less than five minutes for the young Naga to pour the bowl of soup into his stomach.
"I knew you'd love it. Alesha packed up the dishes and told Talos another piece of news, "After all, this is a delicious meal cooked for you by the two ladies Caroline and Mitag. ”
"Ahem...... What about the pearls of the goddess mussel?" asked Talos, stopping the aftertaste of the chowder.
Alesha took out a pearl larger than a man's fist from the Ring of Space, handed it to Talos, chuckled and twisted her tail away.
Talos held the pearl in his hand, and the embarrassment on his face was quickly replaced by surprise, as the whole pearl gave him a very delicious feeling like the High Nightmare Curse on the gold coin.
"Mussel meat, souls, pearls, my utilization rate is too high. ”
Talos muttered like this, but his body sucked into the pearl very honestly, and suddenly a rich aroma hit his heart, somewhat similar to the thick soup just now.
As a burst of invisible mist was sucked by Talos, the energy accumulated from today's successive meals caused a burst of mutation in the soul fire.
At first, a black dot appeared in the center of the soul fire, then spread, turning into several black mist curling up, very gently, and finally gathered together, turning into a small black snake, wrapped around the soul fire.
The snake's first impression of Talos was extremely contradictory:
The soul fire was only the size of a fist, so the black snake wrapped around it was also very small, only the thickness of a little finger, and less than a foot long, which looked harmless.
But the moment the black snake composed of mist flicked its tail and wrapped itself around the soul fire, it seemed to entangled the whole world, with a ferocity that devoured the heavens and the earth.
Small and huge, harmless and ferocious, two breaths of sharp contrast and contrast appeared on it at the same time.
"The embodiment and incarnation of [gluttony] in the seven primordial desires!"
As the owner of the soul fire, Talos knew the origin of the black snake the moment it was formed, not receiving information from the soul fire, but something like suddenly remembering a memory that had been forgotten to a corner of his brain a long time ago.
This black snake, which symbolizes gluttony among the seven primordial desires, is still only a juvenile, and is precipitated by the desires accumulated in the process of refining the soul, absorbing faith, and strengthening the soul fire of Talos.
As the source of desire accumulates and grows, it will eventually grow into a terrifying earthly python.
"The earthly python represents the origin of gluttony, plagued by hunger all day long, and feeds on the world. ”
However, before the Black Snake grows into an earthly python that devours heaven and earth, it has only one goal - the soul fire of Talos.
Of course, when the source of desire strikes back.
Along with the information of the earthly python, there is another very important piece of information that Talos knows, the time of the second counterattack of gluttony.
At the moment of the birth of the earthly python, the young Naga felt that his spirit, will, and soul fire had turned into an infinitely huge ancient tree, and a black snake was gnawing at the root of the ancient tree, constantly making a rustling sound of eating away at the roots of the tree.
When the roots of the tree are eaten up and the ancient tree decays, the second counterattack from gluttony comes.
Fortunately, as long as the young Naga's will is strong and firm enough, the roots of the ancient tree can become hard enough, and the difficulty of the black snake to gnaw at the roots of the tree increases, and the speed naturally decreases.
This is a battle between the will of the heart and the origin of desire, the will is the weapon of Talos, and the heart is the battlefield of both sides.
"Since that's the case, once I'm promoted to the second rank, I'll immediately choose Iron Will as my first combat specialty! ”
"I need to get the gold from the madwoman Juana and the heretic Jacob or the secrets of Queen Jane, and Bill needs to be promoted to the third rank to become a bishop. Once successful, immediately go to explore the lower plane where the arena is located. ”
PS:
1. Seven deadly sins = seven demon gods = seven snakes.
2. Originally, it was the earthly giant python Jörmungard who was entangled in the world, and it was the black dragon Nidhogg who devoured the world tree, and one was synthesized here.
