Section 20 Soul Star

"After the story, do you understand? www.biquge.info Of course, this matter is not without a solution, as long as he is willing to exchange something for something, I will naturally give him a bottle of purification potion. Victor said.

"What is it?" asked Rex.

"Black Soul Star. ”

"Sorry, I don't understand, what is the soul star you are talking about?"

"A gemstone made up of a white star and a black star. "I need the black star in his hand, can you get it for me?"

"I don't know, but I'm willing to try. Rex replied.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news. Victor said.

Rex was exhausted, and after leaving the Oak Heart Temple, he and Baba walked for six days on the crumbling mine mountain road. Climb over the Amorad Mountains and finally return to the icy Storm Country. From the day they stepped into the icefield, the gray sky was windy, raining and snowy, and they walked through the blizzard for two days before finally returning to the cabin next to the Silverneedle Forest.

The old man warmly welcomed them back. When Rex told the old man that they already knew his true identity, Talos, the god of storms, had an embarrassed look on his face. He smiled briskly, his expression quickly returning to normal. Then he said solemnly, "I beg your pardon for not taking the initiative to tell you who I am and the relationship between me and Victor, but it doesn't matter. I didn't mean to hide it, and I don't want to deceive you. There are runes in the temple of the sleeping stone mound and my bear is tainted with dark magic, these are all facts, right?"

"Okay, it doesn't matter. It's just that I didn't expect that I would suddenly intervene between the two demon gods.... Belch.... , you know, that's it anyway. Rex said.

"Well, don't care about the details. So, what news did you two bring me? Talos' eyes were filled with anticipation.

"He asked for your Black Soul Star in exchange. Rex replied.

"Excuse me, you say it again. Talos asked.

He said that if he wanted to purify the potion, he had to exchange the soul star, which was his only condition. Rex said.

"Oh, that's crazy, is he crazy. Talos became agitated and roared, "What such a despicable man, how could he do this to me." The Soul Star will not be given to him, absolutely not. Talos was resolute, and he didn't show the slightest hint of backing down. Victor's offer made him hateful.

Talos's nerves seemed to be irritated and he became restless. Like a grumpy bear, he walked up and down the room, muttering vicious words in his mouth. Rex was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions, so he hurriedly comforted, "Lord Talos, I know that there is a gap between you and Victor, the god of arcane, and the relationship is not good. You can get a stone back to your guardian and temple, it's worth it, you don't have to wander, you can go back to your temple and enjoy a happy life, why not?"

"No, you don't. Talos said in a proud tone, "Victor wants revenge, but unfortunately he found the wrong person, Wickvin was killed by a demon, he actually knows, this matter has nothing to do with me." I was going to help him, but he didn't respect me and even blamed Wickven's death on me. As a friend, his behavior has gone too far, so I will never give him the soul star, Victor, don't be delusional that I will meet your request. The storm god let out an eerie sneer.

Rex and Barbas looked at each other with a chill down their backs. Rex felt that Talos's revenge and hatred were terrifying, and his mind was twisted to the point of disgusting. He boldly asked, "I don't understand, what kind of gem is the Soul Star, so important?"

Talos stared into Rex's eyes in a daze, as if thinking about some kind of puzzle. "You can see that you don't feel the power to control a life, it's a happy thing. ”

Rex shook his head numbly. Talos kept an eerie sneer, then slowly walked into the kitchen and opened the window. Letting in the warm sunlight, he covered his eyelids with his hands, closed his eyes and waited for a minute until his eyes were fully open when they adjusted to the bright light. He walked over to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of honey wine and walked out with three oak glasses.

He filled the three glasses with wine and handed them to Rex and Barbas, then he sat back in the wooden chair by the fire and said nonchalantly, "You want to know what the Soul Star is?"

Rex and Babas nodded.

Talos pulled off his collar and pulled a necklace from inside his clothes. A necklace with a very peculiar appearance. He took the necklace in his hand and said to them, "This is the Soul Star!"

Rex stood up and approached Talos, holding the necklace in his hand. Babas also leaned over, looked at the black soul star excitedly, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, the gem is so beautiful." ”

Rex's eyes sparkled, and the black gem seemed to grab his soul. He admired the gem greedily, and did not want to take his eyes off it for a long time. This magical gem has a round gold base and is the size of an egg. The front of the base is engraved with a circle of curly mountain flower petals that surround a moon. The center of the moon is set with black crystal gemstones.

The full Soul Star looks like some kind of religious totem, with a cross-intersecting groove on the back of the base that the other half can rivet with it.

Before Rex could enjoy it, Blackstar was taken back by Talos and collected. He smirked and said, "Do you want to know where it came from?"

"Yes, yes, I really want to know who made this treasure. Rex replied, "Please, tell us quickly." ”

Talos stood up, paused slightly, and continued, "Then we'll start with its maker." The creator of the Soul Star is an Imperial Blacksmith named Klores, who fused his own soul into the process of creating it, giving the Soul Star a special magical power. In fact, there are two complete soul stars, my piece is called the 'White Star', and the one in Victor's hand is called the 'Black Star'. After completing the Soul Star, Cleus presented it as a gift to King Barguf. Soon after, the blacksmith Kloes fell ill and died. Barguf was so happy to get such a treasure, and loved the soul star to the point of obsession, and he loved it so much that he took it with him wherever he went, and even when he slept, he hung it around his neck and accompanied him day and night. About half a year later, King Barguv underwent strange changes, his personality became more and more irritable, and his temper became worse and worse. Even as his skin wrinkled, his face withered, and his movement became difficult, he gradually realized that the fire of his life was slowly being extinguished, and the king was worried and frightened about it. He didn't want to die, he was too young. ”

Rex swallowed, moistened his dry throat, and nervously asked, "Why is this happening, is the king dead?"

"He's not dead. Talos replied, "The great sun goddess Azula saved him." Azula noticed something strange about the Soul Star, and she took it away from the king. However, this did not completely save Barguf's life. Because the soul star had eroded his mind, he went crazy little by little, and in another half a year, as the first ruler of the empire, he died miserably in his bedroom. ”

Rex stared intently at Talos' face, hoping that he would continue. Talos took a sip of his glass and placed it back on the table. He continued, "The Soul Star can be said to be a curse, and when Azula took it, she discovered the secret hidden in this gem. It turns out that the Soul Star consists of two parts, half white and half black. The white star can release a soul to save people, while the black star will kill the person you want to kill and then drain his soul and seal it. The Soul Star is a curse that takes the soul of a human being, and when it is held by a mortal, it will continue to erode the mind of the bearer, drain his life, torture them to death, and finally take his soul from him. Even though it is held by the sun goddess, its magic is still strong. The goddess despised the magic of the Soul Star, fearing that it would erode more people's minds and take the souls of more innocent people, so she split it in two. The black star gave it to me, and the white star gave it to Victor. When the Soul Star was split, there was no more erosion of the human mind. ”

There are good and bad sides to everything, or everything, and soul stars are no exception. Rex only knew that Victor was crazy about getting Black Star, but he didn't understand the motivation behind his need for Black Star. Talos, who coexists as an enemy and a friend, only collects his own part of the soul star, but does not know to study its deeper mysteries.

The Arcane God Victor, on the other hand, was both a scientist and a craftsman, and from the day he got the White Star, he placed it on his alchemy bench and studied it carefully and carefully. After a year of unremitting efforts, he was pleasantly surprised to discover another secret magic that the Soul Star also possessed, which was to summon souls, in addition to releasing them. It can also bring back the souls imprisoned in hell to earth and resurrect the dead. With this discovery, Victor plans to resurrect his brother with the Soul Star.

However, his relationship with Talos has broken down, and his wish has never been fulfilled. And Rex's appearance gives him hope again, and what is even more interesting is that the temple of Talos is in trouble, and his guardian has become a terrible demon, and the only person who can solve these problems is himself, and his old friend will ask for him, this time he has the initiative to seize Talos's soft underbelly. He thinks that as long as he persists, he can succeed, and he can wait until the moment when Talos cries and begs him with the black star, and then save his brother Vikven, who is suffering silently in hell.
