Wren walked away briskly, exhaling until he couldn't see the church.

He rolled up his sleeves and looked at the bruise on his arm from the beating, which had been obvious when he looked in the mirror in the apartment, but now faded to the point that it was almost gone.

At this moment, the scarred places all over the body felt a stream of heat, the muscles were a little sore, and there seemed to be a lot of ants crawling in the body, crispy and itchy, but very comfortable.

The same is true of the place where the blow was hit hard in the back of the head, even if you press it with your hand, you can't feel the pain.

Wren finally knew why he had been beaten by Ramsay for so long, seriously injured, and sunk into the river, only to recover from his injuries so quickly.

It's all about the phone's soul-absorbing effect.

What he absorbed in the square just now was Ruiz's soul, and when he crossed last night, he absorbed the soul of his predecessor, that is, the previous "Wren"!

Without the contribution of its predecessors, it would be impossible for the current Wren to come back to life.

Thinking of this, Wren's mood was complicated.

Not only did he occupy other people's bodies, but he also did not let go of his soul, becoming the nourishment for his own body.

"I will avenge you with my own hands. Wren said silently.

In addition to the battery skyrocketing and the injury almost healed, two or three more icons were activated in the mobile phone interface. However, there were too many people on the street, and Wren did not immediately check the function of these icons, and continued to look for a place to live.

While walking along the road, Wren quietly turned on the camera and observed the people who appeared in his field of vision.

Under the strange eyes, everyone's soul is revealed.

Wren found that the vast majority of people have similar souls, at least in terms of strength and weakness, and the difference between ordinary people is very small.

After secretly observing hundreds of people along the way, he gradually figured out some patterns.

The color of the soul represents a person's emotions.

When people are relaxed and calm, and their emotions fluctuate very little, their souls will appear pale, and if they are emotionally excited, such as anger or anger, they will turn from white to red, and the redder the color, the more intense the mood swings and the deeper the anger.

When emotions are low, such as sadness and mourning, the soul turns blue.

Green indicates happiness and pleasure, and yellow indicates concern or affection.

Pain and fear are black, disgust and resentment are pink, and numbness and sluggishness are gray.

But the color of the soul is not always pure and singular, and people's emotions are constantly changing, usually mixed with two or more colors, like a mixed mass of paint.

If a person is far away, Wren only looks at the soul color change, and it is difficult to immediately distinguish a person's mood swings.

Only when he is within ten steps and his spirit is focused on a goal can he intuitively sense the fluctuations of his soul, as if he is empathetic, and most accurately understand someone's mood.

Rennes looked all the way, the people in the Lane district, the soul is mainly gray, mixed with some blue or pink, and few people have green and white in their souls.

Wren sighed secretly, it was obvious.

How can people living in slums be in a good mood, and few people will be satisfied with life here.

Color is the outward manifestation of the soul, and on the inside, it is the true essence of the soul.

Wren noticed that there was something strange lurking in the depths of everyone's soul.

It's like a symbol, so small that it's easy to ignore if you don't look closely. It is made of red and black, twisted into a ball, with teeth and claws, and swims in the souls of all people like a living thing, exuding a filthy aura.

Wren was very familiar with this aura, very similar to the aura on Ruiz just now, and the two obviously came from the same source.

"Blood Soul Curse!"

Wren recognized it immediately.

What could be the evil thing in everyone's soul other than the Blood Soul Curse?

"Is the Blood Soul Curse in my soul the same as everyone else?" Wren wasn't sure, because he couldn't see his soul state.

Although he heard the whispers of the Lord of Darkness in a nightmare last night, it is certain that there is a curse, but his soul is formed by the fusion of two people, and there is a mutated phone, so I don't know if there will be a difference.

Except for the Blood Soul Curse, the soul form of the vast majority of people is very simple, and Wren can see through the inside and outside at a glance, which shows that they are an ordinary person.

There are only a handful of people whose souls are both strong and distinctive.

The souls of these people are similar to those of the Holy Swordsman Demps, their souls are more solid and layered, and there is not only a blood soul curse in the depths of the core, but also other foreign objects.

Some of these foreign objects are abstract characters, and some are in the form of a certain creature, all of which are different.

Wren knows that these things are soul elements!

Each element of the soul represents an ability, and those who possess it, they are transcendent.

For example, Wren saw an extremely strong man, he was a head taller than ordinary people, wearing light armor on his upper body, long combat boots on his feet, a round iron shield hung on his back, and a sword between the shield and his back, only the hilt was exposed, but judging from the thick hilt, the weight of this sword was definitely not light.

He walked down the street, his heavy footsteps made a muffled sound, but the speed was not slow, and the pedestrians in front of him avoided them one after another, for fear of being hit by him.

Anyone can see that this is a transcendent being.

Wren observed that the soul of this transcendent being, several times more powerful than ordinary people, was divided into three layers from the outside to the inside, with two elements in the deepest part.

Curious, he quietly quickened his pace to keep up with the other party, concentrating on his soul directly.

The details of two elements are magnified in the eye, one is a white tricolor symbol, and the other is a gray stone symbol.

Wren didn't know what these two elements were called, but the intuitive feeling from the elements made him understand the role of these two elements.

The white symbol represents pure power, allowing the other party to have great power far beyond ordinary people;

The gray stone talisman can make people's skin tough and strong, and the body will be strong, resist ordinary damage, and improve the resistance of the whole body.

"This man is an 'iron guard', no wonder he is wearing a suit of armor. ”

Wren doesn't know much about the Transcendental Profession, but he does know that the Iron Guard is one of the most common transcendental professions.

Iron guards are good at defense, although their pure strength is not as good as that of "berserkers", but they are balanced in attack and defense, have long-lasting physical strength, have a strong will, and can adapt to various combat environments.

The downside of the Iron Guard is its slow speed, but this is relative to other Transcendent classes.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this iron guard walks extremely fast, taking a long step in one step, and leaving others behind in a few steps.

Wren didn't want to follow any more, but saw the other party walk into a hotel on the side of the road.

The inn is large and occupies the best spot on the street, almost in the heart of the Rien district, with a total of three storeys and a large courtyard at the back.

Even from a distance, you can hear the noise coming from the lobby of the inn.

"Basil Lodge. ”

Wren observed for a moment, and from time to time guests came in and out of the hotel, and found that many of these people were transcendental, and in a moment he saw three.

This immediately piqued his interest.

It's still morning, it's not even time for lunch, but this inn is so lively, and there are so many transcendents coming and going, it's obviously not an ordinary hotel.

Wren entered through the door, and a strong smell of alcohol came to his face.

As far as the eye could see, there were more than a dozen tables in the spacious hall, half of which were filled with guests, drinking and making such noise that no one noticed that anyone had come in.

People gathered around the table, not just drinking, but playing cards.

"By the time I play my cards, haha, you're dead in this round!"

"Fireball, kill you!"

"What's your shit luck in this hand?"

"Damn, I'm not convinced, let's do it again. ”

All kinds of voices came and went, one by one clutching the cards in their hands, their expressions focused and rich.

Some people caught good cards and happily poured big gulps of beer, some people lost and scolded, some scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks, worried about their bad luck, onlookers also coaxed, a few men carried wine trays through the hall, and the whole hotel was noisy and non-stop.

Of course, not everyone is playing cards, just sitting at the table with friends drinking and chatting, as if exchanging some information.

Wren couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.

This was a very different situation than he had expected, and he immediately remembered that they were playing a game called "All Souls".

This game has been popular in the Empire for many years, starting as a simulated battle between the transcendent class "Wizard of All Souls". Later, the gameplay gradually spread, more and more people played, the Alchemy Association saw business opportunities, improved the rules of the game, officially issued various cards, enthusiasts spent money to buy collections, and then fought with friends on the table.

The Ten Thousand Souls card is not only popular among ordinary people, but also many nobles and transcendental people.

Some wealthy enthusiasts have set up clubs for this purpose, and regular competitions are held in graded categories, and the winners receive not only prize money, but also special titles, which are highly sought after.

With such popularity, there are even professions that specialize in playing cards for a living, called poker players.

Wren has never played all the magic cards, only watched his classmates play.

Because cards aren't cheap and they're not easy to collect.

To play a hand, each person must have at least a set of 60 cards in their hand. Depending on the quality of the cards, the price also rises, with the cheapest common cards costing a few copper risos, while the rarest legendary cards are said to be worth tens of thousands of gold dong, which is staggering!

Wren bypassed the group of guests who came early in the morning to play cards and came to the hotel counter.

Before he could speak, a deep voice came from behind the counter, and even in such a noisy hall, he could hear it clearly.

"Young man, do you want to stay in a hotel? or do you want to play cards?"

An enthusiastic face rose from behind the counter, this face did not show its age, most of its face was obscured by a thick red beard, a large nose was very conspicuous, a pair of brown eyes in the sunken eye sockets, thick eyebrows, and the red hair on the top was shaved into a very piercing Moxigan hairstyle.

Wren almost wanted to laugh when he saw this cockscomb-like hairstyle, but he didn't dare to really laugh.

Because this is a dwarf.

The counter is only half a person tall, and Wren can see the dwarf's body, even if the other party's height is only up to his chest, but his body develops horizontally, his arms are thicker than his thighs, his waist is big and round, his muscles are strong, like a big wine barrel, and he is afraid that he is twice as heavy as himself, and if he fights, he will only be beaten.

Dwarves are not human, they have not been cursed, and they are born with brute strength.

Wren secretly probed the other party's soul, his soul was different from that of a human, but more powerful than the average transcendent.

He was a little surprised to see a dwarf in the Rien district.

Dwarves were not uncommon in the Empire, especially in the mountains or large coastal cities, where many Dwarves settled down and ran various businesses, some of which became official subjects of the Empire.

There are also dwarves in Longshand, but they all live in the relatively wealthy district of Honeyton, or the Silver Star district where the Transcendent Academy is located, and they usually don't come out easily.

"Boss, how much is your cheapest room here?" asked Wren.
