Just as the two were discussing, there was movement over there.

"Your Majesty, the time is almost up. Lie down on the stone bed in the middle. Demian said.

The king said to the two remaining guards, "Remember, what you must do if I die here by accident. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The two looked at Demian coldly.

"Rest assured, I'm not going to joke with my life. Demian led the king to the magic circle and handed him a crystal bottle, "Please drink this potion, and then you will lose consciousness for a while." Otherwise, the whole process will be very painful, and the resulting tremors or loss of control will increase the probability of unnecessary failure. ”

The king sneered, threw the bottle back into Demian's hands, lay down on the stone platform and said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's get started." ”

An imperceptible smile flashed across Demien's face under his hood. From his storage ring, summon a book with gold trim on a black background. He raised his hand slightly, and the book floated in front of him, slowly unfolding on its own, and then emitting a purple glow like a circle.

Demian manipulated the circle, and soon the light flowing from the circle was linked to the book, forming a whole.

Xiao Chen and Luo Ling had already found a position with their backs to everyone in the room, ready to attack, and waited for the opportunity. For a mage, the moment when he manipulates the circle is naturally the weakest.

But the appearance of this book came as a bit of a surprise to them.

"Wait, that book! It feels familiar to me. Luo Ling said.

"Gathering Spirit Register?" Xiao Chen recognized the four words on the book, "Whether it is the name or the shape, it looks like a holy book." ”

"Isn't your Tasia an expert in the history of the Seven Towers?

——————————————————

Meditation World, Tasia's Room. When Xiao Chen reappeared here, Tasia's position barely moved. She was afraid that he would not find her, so she waited there all the time.

Seeing Xiao Chen, there was a hint of joy on her face: "How is it?"

"It's a long story...... "Xiao Chen wasn't particularly surprised when she told Tasia what they had discovered.

"In our circles, there have been rumors of Dean II suffering from physical failure. It is said that it is because he forcibly ascended to the realm when he was young and used a lot of potions. Although there is no big problem from the external symptoms, it is said that it will not last for a few years. So it's not surprising that he'll find a way to stay alive.

And this Demian, I have also heard, it should be the most talented mage in the young generation of the Healer's Tower, and he rushed to the high level at the age of twenty-five. However, I heard that his mentor, Master Almeida, did not like his usual research very much, so he later moved away from the Healer's Tower to live alone, and the expenses for various studies were sponsored by the royal family. If the king turned to the Tower of Healers to no avail, it was very likely that he would be found and taken the wrong path. ”

"No wonder the king and he looked familiar. ”

"But the fact that this Demian you said actually took out the "Gathering Spirit Register" is a big problem. ”

"It's a holy book, isn't it?"

"That's right!" Tasia looked a little anxious, "The Book of Gathering Spirits is one of the two holy books of the Spirit Tower, and together with the other Book of Creation Picture Album, it forms the twin volumes of life and death of the Spirit Tower, but the Book of Creation Pictures is the Book of Life, and the Book of Gathering Spirits is the real Book of Death. ”

"Sounds dangerous?"

"The purpose of the Book of Souls is to collect the fresh souls of the living beings and place them in the pages of the Holy Book. When needed, these souls can be released into the body of the deceased, and they can be transformed into undead warriors in various forms. Even without a body, they can fight as Ghost Warriors against Ghost Mages.

It is different from the undead summoned by a normal necromancer. The souls in the tome will continue to grow, becoming stronger and stronger as they change bodies and fight. It is said that those powerful souls can evolve a normal skeleton into a high-level skeleton warrior or mage at the moment of controlling it. ”

Xiao Chen didn't expect that the "Gathering Spirit Roster" would actually be such an evil book, "In other words, it needs a large number of souls of the dead?!"

"Yes, according to the records, the stronger the soul is when it is accepted, the stronger it will be. And ordinary souls can be used to collect, or they can be devoured by those powerful souls and become nourishment for powerful souls. ”

"Then do you know what these two magic circles are?" Xiao Chen became a little nervous.

"What kind of circle?"

Xiao Chen grabbed a handful of sand and quickly made it into a model of the magic circle and showed it to the other party.

"I'm not sure exactly what these two circles do, but according to the records, there is a set of circles that are compatible with the Soul Gathering Register, called the Soul Stripping Circle. In this circle, the souls of the weak and dying will be easily extracted, and then magically stabilized and more intact by the "Gathering Soul Register". That is to say, with the help of this circle, the quality of the soul obtained will be higher. But it is never mentioned in the record that the circle was two-tiered. Tasia recalled, "According to what you said, this Demian may have combined with other circles. But no matter what, what he wants to do is most likely to select and cultivate the newly dead souls with better growth, or he wants to use the souls of those ordinary people to nourish the souls of the strong people who are already in his "Gathering Spirit List". ”

"Bastard, then I have to go, I have to stop him. Xiao Chen's figure quickly dissipated.

"Remember, psychic magic is the most useful spell to restrain the undead. Tasia shouted the moment he disappeared.

——————————————————

Xiao Chen conveyed Tasia's opinion as quickly as possible.

"It's time to make a move, let's get started. Luo Ling was ready to start unleashing her magic.

But there was a sudden change in the field. The purple energy on the ground circle suddenly condensed into several ropes, wrapping the king's body along with the stone platform beneath him.

"What's going on?" the king found himself tied up and struggled a few times, but the energy rope didn't move at all.

One of the guards shouted, "Demian, what are you doing?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't panic, it's part of the magic, the energy of these ropes will slowly seep into your body to replenish your body, please relax and don't struggle. Demian said.

"Demian, I don't like this way, you let go of me first!" said the king in a deep voice.

"Do you hear that! Let go of Your Majesty. The two guards drew their swords and were about to press forward.

"Okay, we can start over. Demian pretended to release the rope for the king, but neither the king nor the guards noticed, and two purple ropes appeared again from the magic circle on the ground, and suddenly attacked the two guards from behind, tying them up cleanly.
