Chapter 98: Changes in the Soul Binding Crystal

"Zafei's technique, the first and foremost heroic, once caught with its gods, you need to use military horses, and those with enough military horses are easy to make people beautiful...... As soon as the military horses are ripe, after catching Yingyao, they will see things and discuss things, and make great use of military horses;

- "A Thousand Talents: Military Horses"

Harkonnen's triple question flashed through him, and he began to realize that the warm voice of assurance, not in his ears, but in his own heart.

"As a being in the past tense, it doesn't matter who I am, I have never actually hidden my existence from you, but you just found out, I don't want to do anything to you, but what you need me to do for you. ”

Without any thought, the words of reply sounded in the mind of the son of the fallen chief.

Just before it could feel fooled and change color, the voice reappeared: "Of course, it seems insincere to say this, but in fact I really don't know who I really are, the only thing that remains in my memory is a superficial impression of where I came from - the tower buried under the sand dunes, the specialized laboratory for fiddling with these synths - I have to say that the standard of facilities where you work is really low......"

Harkonnen could feel the voice the same as before, it—maybe it was him, the guy seemed to be provoked to talk, from the occasional words to the gushing orator he was now.

"Losing words" was a lesson that Hajar had taught him since he was a child, so the chief's son, who was eager to understand the mysterious voice, did not show any impatience, but instead concentrated on the guy's performance. It's just that he did underestimate the power of language. In the mouths of those who are truly adept at it, those words that seem like gossip also have the power to deceive people's hearts.

Before he knew it, Harkonnen was captivated by the power depicted by the mysterious voice, and an uncontrollable longing and anticipation rose in his heart.

“...... When it comes to the study of synths, as someone who once commanded the Tower of Soulbinding, I have enough knowledge to impart to you.

And my bloodline transformation technology is even more magical, it allows you to have power in a short period of time that others can't achieve in their lifetime.

The only thing you have to pay is to help me find myself, to find those memories that have been sealed or dissipated.

Of course, I'll admit that this is quite a challenge for you in the current situation, and it wouldn't surprise me if you refused.

It's just that you need me, just as I need you, so why don't we rely on each other and work together?"

"And what shall I call you?"

"You can call me by my previous name, Soulbinder"

The beautiful provocative finish, the right timing, and the truthful words make the mysterious voice of the crystal fragment in Harkonnen's hand seem so believable.

But what Harkonnen didn't know was that these words had also come to Hajar Otto's mind as he was exploring the Tower of Bound Souls with the tribal warriors. Unlike now, when the chief's son chose "cooperation" as his final choice, Hajir Otto replied with a scimitar - he personally smashed the Soulbinder Crystal, a crystal that suddenly appeared mysteriously in the Tower of Soulbinding, into pieces.

"Retribution will come upon your heart!"

The curse that roared out decades ago when the Soulbind was smashed has now been fulfilled, and it is his new ally, Harkonnen of Salem, who is helping him deliver on his promise.

......

"After all, the outside arm is not very strong, and the real solution is always the scimitar in your hand. But now your scimitar is not sharp enough, and the hand holding the knife is not strong enough," the Soul Binding Crystal, which was made into a necklace and hung around Harkonnen's neck, flickered slightly, and the words like a trickle once again reached the heart of this young man who aspired to become the co-master of all desert elves: "Accept my proposal to transform your bloodline, even the cowardly Hajar dares to try to fuse the hearts of the beasts." He just found a research notebook in the Tower of Soulbound Spirits before and dared to implement it, and there is no reason for you to continue to be timid with my help. You must know that only by controlling the heart of the beasts can you truly control the Blazing Beasts, and those little ones will become the strongest weapons you can conquer!"

These words touched the young chieftain, who sat in the depths of the Golden Horde, and he rubbed the lacquer box in his hand as he fell into deep thought. The lacquered box contained the heart of the beast inherited from the man he had murdered, and he hadn't considered following the advice of the Soulbinder before. It's just that the side effect of the heart of the beasts, which he was told about in his last conversation with his father, is to cut off the ability to reproduce their offspring, so that he can't make up his mind for a long time.

"If there is no present, then how can we grasp the future!"

The Soul Binding Crystal saw through Harknang's concerns, it had not understood the importance of flesh and blood creatures on reproduction, so it could not understand why such a greedy young man could maintain such restraint in the face of the power at his fingertips.

It's just that as the great detective Sherlock Holmes said, "everything that is impossible is eliminated, and even if the rest is impossible, it is the truth", after thinking about it repeatedly, Soul Binding Crystal finally found a loophole in his previous thinking. So this time he decided to confuse the concept to persuade this young chief, who was actually very easy to adopt the "advice" of others.

There is no doubt that the wise Soulbound Crystal has once again reaped the rewards of success. This kind of success in constantly pushing a person in the direction of his or her own set plan actually gave a sense of accomplishment to a magical artifact like the Soul Binding Crystal, which should not have any emotions at all.

This is unusual. As a creature of an ancient soulbinding mage, the Soulbinding Crystal is an extension of the will of its creator, and he has no sense of "self" at all. While it can guide the operation of the Tower of Soulbind through the knowledge it remembers, this does not mean that it has that great power. After the death of an Ancient Soulbinder, he can still bewitch others, but only in accordance with the actions set by his creator.

But this magical artifact gradually gained a sense of "self" in Harkonnen's hands, and it gradually found that it had also given birth to some emotional fluctuations. The keen Soulbinder Crystal sensed the changes it had produced, and under the ability to think like a cocoon of this magical artifact, it excavated the core rules left by the Soulbinder Mage - the creation of "self" and "emotion" symbolized the return of the Great Creator, and the Soulbinder Crystal was no longer just an extension of his will, it was also a continuation of the Soulbinder's vanished life.

At that time, the Soulbinding Crystal will only have to lead its recruited minions back to the Soulbinding Tower, and the dark tower will break through the burial of the sand dunes in the midst of the beasts.
