Section 26: Horcruxes
ใWest Globe Empire: Port City of Rennesใ
The morning air was still a little cool, and before the sun could clear the fog, Qiling began to hurry quickly with the silver dust. Silver Dust walked with unhurried steps, looking light and fluttering, as leisurely as a walk, but in fact, his speed was as fast as a gust of wind, and Kirin riveted his strength, almost trotting all the way to barely keep up with his speed.
As the sun rises higher and higher, the surrounding towering ancient trees gradually become greenery built by people, and there are more and more villages along the road.
Silver Dust took the Qiling and headed all the way to the west. Qi Ling didn't ask much, just followed behind Yinchen in a hurry, anyway, he knew where to go, he just needed to keep up with his speed. Until Qi Ling raised his head, he suddenly saw the dazzling white harbor city in front of him, with huge marble buildings stacked one after another, and the magnificent city gate looked like it had stood for at least a hundred years in the wind and rain. On the shore stood a huge silver priest statue of the three-faced god standing in the wind, more than ten times larger than the three-faced statue on the square of Fukuzawa Town. The air was filled with salty sea moisture, and many white seabirds chirped in the sky.
Qi Ling couldn't help but ask, "Silver Dust, aren't we going to the Imperial Capital Grant? Grant Ert should be inland to the north, right? Why are we coming to this harbor city?" he raised his head and marveled at Wren's magnificent white buildings as he quickly caught up with Silver Dust who was walking ahead.
"I brought you here to get your own Horcruxes. Silverdust didn't look back, and continued to walk forward, "Before going back to Grant, do this first. โ
"Horcruxes, what is this?" Qi Zero was confused again. He couldn't help but sigh, he felt that he would never be able to understand this world of soul magic, he had just figured out something, and in the blink of an eye, another new gadget appeared that he didn't understand. Yesterday, I just figured out my soul beast, and now it's okay, and there is another Horcrux, and tomorrow I don't know if there will be another soul clothes, soul shoes, soul cold dishes or something......
"Horcruxes are exclusive weapons to kings and apostles. It is not a weapon in the ordinary sense, it is only produced in the [Soul Mound]...... It was up to the apostles to go and get it on their own. โ
"May I ask if this soul mound is ......" Qi Ling felt that his brain was already starved of oxygen.
"The Soul Tsukasa is a deep-sea cave beneath the waters of Rennes, this huge cavern has existed since ancient times, and no one knows when it appeared. The Soul Tsuka is like a huge mother that gives birth to Horcruxes, and countless powerful Horcruxes grow densely on the rock walls of the cave, like living plants rooted in the rock walls. The difference between a Horcrux and an ordinary weapon is that it is the same as the body of the Horcrux, it has a soul circuit, and the Soul Sorcerer urges the soul power to flow along the circuit on the Horcrux, which can produce huge power, and at the same time, the Horcrux is the same as the Seal of the Lord, and it also has the function of accommodating the soul beast, so the person who owns the Horcrux is equivalent to having an additional soul beast. However, only the Apostle is eligible to enter the Soul Tomb to retrieve his Horcruxes, so only the Apostles and the Lord have two soul beasts. Moreover, once the apostle has entered the soul mound, he will be marked by the mysterious power in the soul mound, and once the marked apostle leaves the soul mound, whether he succeeds in obtaining the powerful horcrux or not, he will never be able to enter the soul mound again in this life. As a result, obtaining Horcruxes became a very serious matter. โ
"Is it so powerful? Is the soul beast that can be contained in the Horcrux powerful? compared to my current [Snow Fang]?"
"The capacity of different Horcruxes is different, and the more powerful the Horcruxes, the more powerful the soul beasts can contain. However, Horcruxes, like soul beasts, also need to reside inside the soul master's body, just as the [First Soul Beast] needs to be parasitic in the [Jue Seal] to recover soul power, [Horcrux] also needs to use the soul master's body to recover the soul power that has been consumed. โ
"You say...... Put the weapon ...... Put it in the body?" Qi Ling's scalp tingled.
"yes. Do you want to see my Horcrux?" Silver Dust turned back and looked at Qiling with a blank expression.
"No, no, no, I won't bother you!" Qi Ling felt nauseous in his stomach, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps when he made up a little bit of the picture of Yinchen taking out a big knife from his stomach, "By the way, you just said that you were at the bottom of the sea? So how do we get there? Do we still have to get a big boat? I'll say okay first, I don't have any money...... But I can swim, I'm a good swimmer......"
Silver Dust took a deep breath, turned around and strode away......
Qi Ling awkwardly touched his clothes behind him: "Uh, it's not funny......"
After walking around the bustling city of Rennes for a while, the crowd around me gradually decreased.
Kirin looked around, and the buildings around him became larger, but it was obvious that the crowd in the vicinity was much thinner. The tall buildings look very religiously deity, like the residence of the gods. For Kirin, who has lived in the small town of Fukuzawa since he was a child, these buildings look too unreal.
Silver Dust, who was walking in front of him, stopped, and Kirin looked at him a little puzzled, at this moment, he was standing in front of a huge stone wall. To the left and right of Silver Dust were two large spired halls, with a long and narrow corridor between them, but the entrance to the corridor seemed to be sealed by the seemingly high walls.
Qi Ling: "What are we?"
Silver Dust: "This wall is used to isolate ordinary people and soul magicians. There is a powerful seal on this wall, and only the prince and the apostles can pass through this wall. Come with me. โ
Before Qi Ling could react, Silver Dust walked directly towards the wall, and was about to hit the wall, when there was a sudden strange twist in the air, and the stone on the wall seemed to suddenly turn into liquid, and Silver Dust dissolved into the stone wall and disappeared in an instant.
Qi Ling stared at his big eyes, a little unacceptable: "This ...... Do you want me to follow and hit the wall?"
Qi Ling took a deep breath, there was no way back anyway, and it seemed that Yinchen didn't have a head to break the bloodstream, so it should be safe. Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and his heart was horizontal, and strode towards the stone wall in front of him. However, Qi Ling, who had his eyes closed, didn't feel anything until he had already walked a long distance, and he opened his eyes in confusion to find that he was already in the middle of a narrow corridor, and Yinchen was standing not far in front of him, with his back to him, not speaking. Qi Ling was about to call Yinchen, but he found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, he looked around, and his heart suddenly became a little nervous.
"This ...... What's going on?" Qiling looked at the cracked cracks everywhere, the potholes in the ground, and the splattering rubble all over the ground...... The entire corridor was in shambles.
