Section 21: Tiange

The Snow Fang jumped down and stood beside Kirin again. Qi Ling stroked the majestic silver hair on its neck, and turned back to ask Silver Dust, "When I saw it before, it was much bigger than it is now, and one foot is the size of a tree, why is it like this now?"

"What you see is its state when it fights, and each soul beast will transform into the most powerful and suitable combat form according to the needs of different battles and environments. Fundamentally, none of them are entities, but beings that are closer to the energy state, and therefore can selectively adjust their form size. ”

"Oh......" Kirin nodded as if he didn't understand, "And what is your usual state of Snow Thorn?...... Don't let it out yet, listen to me, I don't want to look at the kind of combat it just now, it's too scary! I just need to look at the way it usually is......"

Yinchen let out an "oh", then stretched out his hand and stretched out in front of Qi Ling, in his palm, a small silver-white scorpion, at this moment was raising a small pincer, shaking Qi Ling from side to side, as if greeting enthusiastically......

Qi Ling couldn't help but raise his hand as well, and waved it slowly and reflexively twice, the whole process was a bit cold and slightly embarrassing......

"We'll wait a while and we'll go. Before I do that, I'm going to go somewhere and do something, and you can wait for me here. Silver Dust said to Qi Ling.

"Either I...... Let's go back to Fukuzawa Town......" Kirin's voice suddenly lowered.

Silver Dust knew what he was thinking, "But there's barely anything left there......"

"I'd better go take a look......" Kirin stood up and patted the dust off his body, pretending to be relaxed, but his eyes were visibly red. "Oh yes, Silver Dust, when are you coming back?" Qi Ling suddenly turned his head and asked Silver Dust seriously. He suddenly found that he had a reluctant emotion in his heart, and was even a little afraid that he would not come back, so he really didn't know where to go. Silver Dust certainly knew what he was thinking: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon." If it goes well, I'll be back in the afternoon. You're waiting for me in Fukuzawa, don't run around. ”

Kirin nodded, watching Silver Dust's back fade into the shadows of the forest. The smell of mint on his body still lingered in the air, like fresh snow on a winter day. Kirin raised his head, and countless golden leaves were blown down from the canopy by the wind. The afternoon sun warms the forest.

This winter doesn't seem too cold.

Kirin turned around and walked slowly towards Fukuzawa.

【Western Aslan Empire・Southwest Tiange Stronghold】

Throughout the territory of the Aslan Empire, there are countless large and small strongholds, which are used for the prince and the apostles, as well as the royal psychosis to communicate and obtain information. The strongholds spread all over the country shrouded the territory of Yaslan under an invisible giant net. This huge network is the tool used by the Silver Sacrifice to manage the national soul art system, and this network is called [Tiange].

Silver Dust walked down from an old stone gate cave like a tombstone, and gradually walked deeper into the earth.

This is the nearest stronghold of [Tiange] to Fukuzawa. If you think about it, you will understand how terrifying the "eyes" and "ears" of the Silver Sacrifice have covered the Yaslan realm. Even a simple town like Fukuzawa, which is far away from the center of soul power, will have a stronghold of Tiange. One can imagine how accurate the various information obtained by the Silver Sacrifice would be in an important city like Grant or Rennes.

The stone steps at your feet are worn out, and you can see that they are old underground buildings. The walls of this long tunnel leading to the underground are carved with continuous fine patterns, very typical of the decorative patterns of Yaslan's water source. At intervals on the wall, there is a sconces placed in stone troughs. It is not illuminated by firelight, but maintained by soul power. However, each stone lamp was not too dazzling, so you could only see the general situation in the underground tunnel, and at the end of the tunnel, it was still shrouded in dead darkness. The further down the river, the lower the temperature, the stone steps and the corners of the walls, gradually growing some moss, the walls reverses a layer of wet halo, and Silver Dust feels like he is walking towards a damp underground tomb.

After a little more walking, you will reach the end of the steps. A slightly empty stone chamber with no superfluous ornamentation, and in the center of the chamber is a huge stone platform in the shape of a hexagon. Behind the stone platform stood a sorcerer dressed in a black robe with a hood covering half of his face. His eyes were cast in shadow by the hood, and only the lower half of his face could be seen. His lips were thin and pale, and he looked like a wounded man who had lost too much blood.

"Who's coming?"

"[Lord of the Seventh Degree], Silver Dust. Silver Dust looked at the black-robed man and said lightly, "I have some questions I want to confirm, and I hope you can provide relevant information." ”

"Lord Wang, I am happy to serve you. The black-robed man's voice sounded hoarse in the dark cavern, sounding uncomfortable, as if a cold snake had crawled on his back.

"Recently, in the forest outside Fuze Town, have there been any high-level soul beasts?"

"Appeared. The black-robed man replied quietly.

Yinchen paused and added, "When I say high grade, I mean...... The ...... of this level of the four ancient soul beasts"

"......" The black-robed man was silent, obviously not expecting Silver Dust to ask such a question.

"Is it [Ragnarok]?" Silver Dust's pupils flickered with cold light as if they were frozen.

"In the forest outside Fuze Town last night, there was indeed a large-scale abnormal fluctuation of soul power, and according to the intensity of the monitored soul power, it was at least several times higher than that of the [Wangjue]...... Therefore, according to this standard, it can basically be identified as one of the four great soul beasts of ancient times...... But whether it's Ragnarok or not, it's uncertain...... And I don't think it......" The black-robed man continued to answer Silver Dust's question in his cold hoarse voice.

"Yes, but I'm sure. Silver Dust interrupted him coldly. "Except for Ragnarok, there is no other soul beast that can make that kind of cry. ”

The black-robed man took a slow breath, "If it's really Ragnarok, and it's still screaming...... Lord Wang, you should know that within the sound wave range of Ragnarok, the soul power in the soul master's body will be tempted by its cry, stimulating and surging, gradually boiling, until it is out of control. In its cry, anyone, as long as it uses a little soul power, or captures a little bit of soul power by it, it can use that kind of cry to provoke all the soul power of this person into a frenzy, and rampant in the body like an uncontrolled tidal wave, until all the soul paths in the body are blasted and shattered, which is an unbearable blow for the soul magician......" The black-robed man said unhurriedly while observing the expression of Silver Dust.

Yinchen did not say anything about the words of the black-robed man.

The black-robed man also stopped talking, just stood quietly in front of Silver Dust, his expression was shrouded in the shadow of the hood, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking at the moment.

Silver Dust slanted the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Do you want to say that if I really encountered Ragnarok last night, then I wouldn't be able to stand in front of you unharmed right now?"

The black-robed man lowered his head: "The subordinates don't dare." ”

Silverdust: "Then I'll ask the next question." Are there any other princes or apostles in the vicinity of Fukuzawa?"

"There are other apostles nearby," the black-robed man hesitated, "there are other kings too." ”

"What are they coming for?"

"They're on something else. The black-robed man replied.

"Who are they, what are they doing?" asked Silver Dust.

"Sorry, you don't have access to this information above your level. The black-robed man was polite, but replied coldly.
