Chapter 132: Past and Present
Xiao Chen never thought that the Seven Holy Pagodas were really the representatives of justice and the model of morality. But when I heard Demian say that in the past, the Spirit Tower used a large number of ordinary people as spell casting materials, I still felt that he was talking nonsense. After all, in Tasia's eyes, the era of the Seven Towers was an era of striving for cooperation and not fearing the gods.
Magicians can make great sacrifices so that humans can be freed from the fate of being at the mercy of the gods...... Wait, sacrifice. Is this part of the sacrifice?
"You doubt it, too. You can think about it, if the people of that time didn't use this method, how could they have invented it and made such a powerful holy book?
When I first got the "Gathering Spirit List", there were many, many souls of strong people on it. But too much time has passed, and the souls of these strong men have fallen silent, and none of them have survived. But from their relevant records, it can be seen that they have strengthened the process. Every strong man devoured the souls of many weak people. What I've done today is nothing compared to theirs. ”
Xiao Chen said: "If that's the case, it's a big deal that we don't need this holy scripture." ”
"Ridiculous, do you know how many soldiers would have been prevented from dying in a war if I had a specialist like me using the Gathering Roster?" Demian shook his head and sighed, "It's ironic that I was defeated by someone who knew nothing. ”
Although Luo Ling was still suffering from internal injuries, she couldn't help but retort: "You know nothing. How the Seven Holy Pagodas do things is a matter of their time. In this day and age, how things need to be done is our own business! We have our own moral standards, what can be done and what cannot be done. The ancients drank blood, and you inherited the same body as them, and you also ate raw meat and drank blood alive? Even if the Seven Holy Pagodas reappear in our hands one day, they will be seven new towers, completely different from the ancient Seven Holy Pagodas. ”
"You are crazy and do not understand the sacred meaning of those seven towers. You are blaspheming them in doing so. ”
Luo Ling coughed several times and said, "It's ridiculous, no matter how sacred and great their meaning is, have they finally beaten the gods of nature? Since we didn't win the war, what's the point of following their path? Of course, we want to open up our own path." You're saying so much, but you're just making excuses for yourself. ”
"Don't argue with him, watch out for your body. Xiao Chen pointed his finger at the top of the other party's head, "No matter what your motive is, if you do this, you will have to pay the price for causing so many deaths." ”
"No, those are just ordinary people, and they're dead. I can do you your service and make the Spirit Tower a vassal of the Dream Tower. I still have the legacy of the Healer's Tower......" Demian's words came to an abrupt halt as Xiao Chen's magic pierced his skull. Xiao Chen was about to release a soul interpretation magic again to get some information from Demian's soul, but was stopped by Luo Ling.
"Have you forgotten what that new holy book is for?" Luo Ling asked.
"You want me to take his soul into the Book of Gathering Spirits?" Xiao Chen said, "I thought you would ask me to seal this book. ”
"I think that's the best ending for him. Luo Ling sighed and said, "As for why this holy book is sealed? In such a chaotic world, are you afraid that there will be no souls to use? Where can you use yourself to direct such a tragedy." ”
Xiao Chen took out the "Gathering Spirit Register", and they hadn't carefully read this holy book just now.
Turning the door of the holy book and seeing the title page, a piece of information automatically entered Xiao Chen's mind, which described the way to operate this holy scripture. As soon as you activate a circle at the bottom of the title page with your psychic power, the holy text will suck in the surrounding souls.
However, the operation of sucking the soul generally needs to be carried out within ten minutes after the death of the deceased, and as the time of death passes, the quality of the soul will become worse and worse, and if it exceeds ten minutes, the general soul will be weakened to the point where it cannot be used. The soul of a strong person can naturally last for a longer time, but time will also cause a great loss of strength.
Xiao Chen didn't dare to delay, and immediately started the operation according to the instructions.
A puff of claw-shaped purple smoke rose from the circle of the "Gathering Spirit Register", circled around Demian's head, dragged a ball of light out of it, and then retreated into the book.
The pages turned on their own, until they reached a blank page at the back, and then Demian's head slowly appeared on the page.
A few lines appeared below his portrait. Xiao Chen saw that the holy scriptures had actually figured out the basic situation of his soul in just a few moments.
Demian
Status: Wounded, unable to summon
Class: Ghost Mage
Realm: High-level
Areas of Expertise: Undead/Spiritual/Healing
Although there is no quantitative data, it is already a good reflection of a soul's strengths. Xiao Chen flipped the book forward and found that seven or eight souls from ordinary people were presumably the ones with better soul qualifications among the dead just now, who had been added to the power of other souls by the holy scriptures and shaped into low-level ghost warriors. Their state is all growth, unable to summon.
Flipping forward, he saw the two guards who had been included in Demian before, their evaluation was that they were high-level ghost warriors, who were good at swordsmanship and sword skills respectively, and their state was that one was injured and the other was normal.
And before the two of them, there were dozens of pages in the book occupied by various souls, only the state of these souls was: extinction. However, from the attribute text below, you can still see the strength of these souls at that time, "Two saint-level revenants, fifteen master-level revenants, and the rest are high-level." Demian was right, and sure enough, there were many powerful revenants. ”
Xiao Chen tried to summon a master-level ghost archer. Immediately on the page belonging to this soul, "The summoning failed, the soul is dead." "That's a line. All descriptions of the soul then faded away, leaving only a blank page.
"There should be no hope for these souls, you can try the warrior included today. Luo Ling said.
Xiao Chen turned to the page of the warrior, and summoned this intact warrior with a thought,
The summoned warrior looks the same as when he was alive, except that his body is transparent, his expression is dull, and he stands motionless in front of Xiao Chen, obviously without autonomous consciousness, but Xiao Chen can give him instructions through the "Spirit Gathering Roster" or special manipulation spells.
I saw that under Xiao Chen's order, he got into his original body, and then the fallen warrior stood up again, Xiao Chen couldn't give him too detailed orders, but he could command him to move forward and retreat, and he also used a long sword to wield a set of swordsmanship.
When Xiao Chen gave the order to return, the revenant spirit quickly returned to the Holy Scripture, and the state became: Exhausted, unsummonable. And the corpse of the warrior, again, fell to the ground.
"Very powerful holy scriptures. If there are corpses everywhere on the battlefield, this holy book can pull up an army of undead warriors in an instant. Luo Ling commented.
Xiao Chen closed the "Gathering Spirit Roster" and threw it into the space bag, "Powerful is strong, but it is not suitable for my path." When a suitable successor appears in the school, I will give him this holy book. ”
