014: Mutation of the Soul Gem

It wasn't that something was wrong, the research went very well, and after several repeated tests, Roch confirmed that the watch was indeed capable of breaking down matter and converting it into small amounts of elements.

Roshi specially purchased various ore materials in Siwei City this time, tried each one, and successfully decomposed, and recorded in detail the content of the elements that can be converted after decomposition.

And here's the problem - that soul gem.

This piece of bosom showed that everything could be decomposed, from a piece of gravel on the side of the road to gold and silver jewelry, but the soul gem did not show the slightest sign of decomposition no matter how long it was thrown in.

Souls have always been a key research project for wizards, and there are many books on this subject in Roshi's head, including a detailed description of the Soul Gem.

Soul gem is a very special kind of ore, according to the record in the book, according to the size of the mass, it has a special structure inside, each of these structures is a class F dimensional space, this kind of dimensional space can supply the storage of unconscious human spirits, so the soul gem has the function of absorbing souls.

Under normal circumstances, there would only be a completed structure in 1g of soul gems, which could store about ten spirits, but when Luo Xi looked deeply at his soul gem, he was surprised to find that the structure in this 100g gem was far higher than the quantity it should be, and it was not higher than one or two, but hundreds of times!!

Yes!

At first, Luo Xi mistakenly thought that he had made a mistake, but he checked the detection magic array repeatedly against the knowledge in the books, and after confirming it repeatedly, he still came up with this answer.

What is this concept?

The most intuitive explanation is that this small piece of gem can even hold the human soul of a small country!

In addition to the mutation of the internal structure, another area of mutation is the absorption range of the soul crystal.

Normal soul crystals will automatically absorb newly dead spirits within a few meters of the surrounding area into the structure space, but when Luo Xi further examines this soul crystal, he finds that his absorption range has expanded to a distance of thousands of meters.

Why is this happening? Is it because the decomposition function of the pocket watch changes its properties? Is it that all soul gems have such a mutation, or is it just a coincidence?

Roshi was eager to figure it out.

It's just that the number of soul gems is very rare, and the Black Tower has clearly stipulated that this is a contraband that is prohibited from trading among wizards, and it is only allowed to be sold to Tailless Alley, and it is not easy for Roshi to find another piece to experiment.

Unable to find an answer to the question for a while, Roshi could only put it aside, and then, solemnly, he pondered another question, a key question about his future!

It is extremely difficult for apprentices to advance to the wizard level, in addition to absorbing huge elements, they must also cleanse their souls and sublimate their souls, which is almost impossible to do with their own efforts.

At this time, it is necessary to use external forces.

Elemental aspect, the name of the object used to wash the soul is called the Spirit Demon Potion, which is a high-grade potion, and the materials used to configure it are produced in only a few places on the mainland, all of which are under the control of the Black Tower, and of course, this thing is only sold by the Black Tower, and the price is 200,000 pesos.

Regardless of whether Luo Xi can earn this money or not, the key is to borrow a hundred dares from him, he doesn't dare to go to Heita to buy it, for the apprentice who is about to be promoted to a wizard, Heita has to check the eighteenth generation of his ancestors.

Luo Xi hadn't thought about this before, but now, he seemed to see an opportunity - this soul crystal in his hand.

Yes.

Soul crystals can also achieve the same effect as spirit potions, but they must collect enough spirits, at least tens or millions.

At that time, the senior apprentice used this method, at that time, the soul crystal was not so expensive, and it was not a contraband, 100g of soul crystal was probably only a few dozen pesos, it is said that it was because of this incident that the black tower forbade the wizard to trade soul crystals, and raised the price.

It's just that the reason why that benevolent brother was caught by the wizard is mainly because he didn't do it secretly enough, he took the soul crystal to kill people everywhere, spread the plague, and made such a big move, the whole world knows that he did it, and even the history books of the mortal world have recorded it, positioning it as a famous disaster.

And it has been almost two thousand years since that incident, since the price of the soul crystal was raised, it cost far more than 200,000 pesos to use this thing to attack the wizard level, of course, no apprentice will use it again, and it is estimated that the Black Tower will not think that the apprentice will take a huge risk to do such a stupid thing.

And now it happens to be a war, and such a thing as a dead person is normal, isn't it easy to collect souls with the current effect of soul crystals?

Now only one last question remains.

Should such evil things be done?

Roshi held the black gem in his hand and pondered earnestly.

Two weeks later, the chalet welcomed a group of guests.

When Roshi and Alan were training outside the house that morning, a person suddenly appeared in the forest outside the wooden house, and when he saw the wooden house, he quickly took off the protective gear to cover his face, and then shouted excitedly to the back:

"Found it! Hey, guys! here! I'll just say how can there be a trap here, this is it, I see the two of them, come here!"

After a while, a group of people came, wearing leather coats and fur hats and protective gear, covering their whole bodies firmly, and carrying more than a dozen large boxes.

Then, two men who were clumsy in the snow approached, and when they took off their masks and fur hats, Roshi realized that it was Louis and Dale who had arrived.

Louis's eyebrows full of ice slag suddenly relaxed, and he stood at the entrance of the courtyard and saluted Roshi, and the first thing he said was: "You're okay, it's great." ”

Roshi hurriedly welcomed them into the courtyard, while asking Alan to greet the guests, help sort out the boxes brought by these people, and raise a bonfire in the courtyard to keep warm.

Then, Louis and Roshi went into the cabin, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally had something to say.

According to Luis, they were still north of the Aegean coast when the war broke out, and they hurried over as soon as they received the news, but in the end they were still a step too late, and all they saw was the ruins of the harbor town.

It wasn't until not long ago that Wisdom City reported Roshi's matter to them that Roshi was still alive, and after hearing that he needed those materials, he hurriedly sent them over.

To be honest, Roshi was still a little moved.

He originally told Si Ni City to send materials after the spring and snow, the Whispering Forest terrain is complex and nowhere to be found, not much different from the primeval forest on the earth, he can walk through it because he is a knight and a wizard, even so, when he first came, he wasted some effort, and the snow at that time was not so thick, just buried in his ankles.

It had snowed these days, knee-thick and in some places waist-deep, and Roshi could imagine them carrying large suitcases through the snow as they walked through the snow with large suitcases on their chests.

I heard them say that in order to be able to arrive smoothly, they also specially hired a dozen mercenaries and four hunters who knew the terrain of this generation, and it took three days to find this place according to the sketch left by Roshi.

In addition to this, what surprised Roshi even more was the conduct of Louis and Dale.

In Siwei Niroshi has learned that their business is now very large, and the average low-level nobleman has to try to get married, and Roshi is just a knight, or a wandering knight with no fief or title.

Despite this, they still remembered the agreement between the two parties, and their politeness to Roshi remained unchanged, and even sent the materials in person this time.

In the business field, their share has shrunk repeatedly, while Roxi's 30% share has not changed at all, and the pressure to be under in the middle is clear from looking at their current appearance.

There is more extravagance, and even there is a little bit of the majesty of the superior between words and deeds, but it is more haggard, and there is some white hair on the hair after the fur on his face is removed, Luo Xi thought it was snow, but after a closer look, he found that it was white hair.

"Actually, I don't have much need for gold coins, it's really not good, you can keep a little for yourself, just let the rest out, it's okay." After thinking about it, Roshi felt that it was not worth it to mess up a bunch of people with money that he couldn't use at all.

It's just that after hearing Roxi's words, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then Louis explained: "Lord Roxi, the question now is not whether we back down or not, the problem is that even if we back down, those greedy guys will not necessarily be grateful, after all, the potential of this hope potion is too great, as long as we are at this trading table one day, they will find ways to target, so we can only keep the bottom line, either stand firm or be squeezed out of the table." ”

Roshi didn't know much about these things, but he could somewhat imagine what would happen to the two of them who were squeezed out of the table and lost the last powerless and powerless of them.

It's just that Louis acted very relaxed when he said this, as if he didn't want Roch to worry about it, after all, in their eyes, Roshi was just a wandering knight, and it was useless for him to worry about it when it came to this.

After that, Louis diverted from the conversation and talked about something else, and Roshi also talked about what happened in Harbor Town, and he fled to the forest with Allen.

The ambiance has always been pleasant.

It wasn't until he talked about his recent experiences that Roshi explained the purpose of these materials, mentioned Alan's grand ambitions, and helped him activate the knight's bloodline.

Louis and Dale, who were seated, suddenly shook violently.
