Chapter 394: The Gods Who Are Still Alive
The gods of Arnornd are completely different from the gods of the world of Veron, they not only live in the same city as mortals, but also intermarry with mortals, and there are a large number of gods left, most of these gods have become the rulers of the royal city, but there are also some gods who have given up all the power and status they can obtain, put on the armor carefully built for them by the gods, become the guardians of the gods, and directly accept the leadership of the four knights of the conquest to conquer those heretical worlds for the gods.
Like the knight of Roderick, these god-born warriors were also involved in the civil war, but some of them survived and claimed to have received revelations from the departed gods, and would guard the royal city and wait for the gods to return.
According to Leo's thoughts, he would not provoke these god-born warriors, because from the various descriptions of the god-born warriors, it is not difficult to hear that the most common of these god-born warriors have at least the strength of seventh-level psionic beings, and the stronger ones may even be omega-level advanced lifeforms, such as the four conquest knights who command all the god-descended warriors.
But the problem now is that the spatial passage for him to leave the royal city is in the place where the godborn warriors are stationed, and things no longer allow him to make a choice.
Leo, who had already made a decision, looked at the sides of the wall, and found that the stairs down the wall had broken and collapsed, and he put his head out of the wall to look at the inner wall of the wall, and after seeing the situation of the wall, he also dismissed the idea of jumping directly from the wall.
Because the walls were covered with some mysterious symbols, and although he couldn't feel what they were doing now, he could surmise that if he really jumped down, the result would be very bad.
After dispelling the idea of taking a shortcut, Leo could only walk towards the collapse of the stairs of the city wall in the distance, but not long after he left the tower, a strong danger suddenly appeared, and he instinctively made a dodge movement, a roll, and hid behind a pile of masonry and stone of the city wall next to him.
Just as he was hiding behind the masonry, there was a sudden clanging sound from where he had been standing, as if something had hit the stone on it, and when he turned his head to look at it, he saw that something had indeed hit the stone, because the stone was now covered with small holes, as if something had pierced it.
It didn't end there, for there was a clanging sound from the pile of bricks and stones that Leo was blocking, and it seemed that someone should continue to pursue him.
Leo immediately activated his psionic skills and blessed the power of the True Eye into his psionic vision, and then immediately stretched out his head and looked out after a new round of sounds.
I saw that there was already a whole group of archers standing on the city wall that should have been empty, all of these archers were three meters high, wearing armor, holding a four-meter-high longbow in their hands, and every time they pulled the longbow, an arrow would automatically appear on the bowstring, and what really surprised Leo was that these archers were all ghosts.
Although it is likely that the people on Yam Island were all shipwrecked, their bodies and other things were no different from ordinary people, so they did not give Leo any sense of surprise.
But now, these archers in front of him are real ghosts, real soul states, and this is the first time he has so real certainty of the existence of a soul, even if he himself is the real evidence of the existence of a soul.
Feeling the novelty, Leo quickly reined in his emotions and quickly found a way to deal with the ghost archers.
I saw him take out a soul campfire trap directly from the storage space, and then activate it, and recognize it among the ghost archers.
When the Soul Bonfire Rune produced a bunch of bonfire illusions, the ghost archers around them rushed towards the bonfire as if they had encountered an unstoppable temptation, even if they were burned to ashes after getting close to the bonfire, none of the ghost archers flinched.
In this way, a team of ghost archers who could pose a mortal danger to most people were burned, but Leo did not immediately come out from behind the stones, but waited quietly for a while, used the spiritual net to check the situation outside, and then looked at the city wall with his spiritual vision, and then walked out and came to the soul campfire trap after confirming that there was no danger.
Because the soul of the ghost archer is really powerful, and it rushes into the soul bonfire trap in one go, and at the same time it is burned and refined, so that this has exceeded the limit of the soul bonfire trap, and a crack appears in the soul bonfire trap.
Although this rift did not have any effect on the subsequent refining effect of the Soul Campfire Trap, it is certain that this Soul Campfire Trap could no longer be used.
This also made Leo realize that using the Soul Campfire Trap to deal with soul-type enemies is not perfect, and it is necessary to consider the strength of the opponent's soul when using it in the future, otherwise it is likely to be self-defeating.
Although the Soul Campfire Trap was damaged, it still refined the ghost archers into a mass of Soul Crystals before it could be damaged.
Now Leo already knows that these objects that look like a ball of light are soul crystals, and from the perspective of the use of soul crystals in dark arts, this kind of thing is mainly the main casting medium for souls, whether it is witchcraft that is beneficial to the soul or dark magic that is harmful to the soul, this thing is needed.
The easiest way to use it is to directly crush this light, and the soul power contained in the light will be automatically injected into the person closest to it at the moment of crushing, and the person's soul will have a very direct lifting effect.
It's just that this method is the most wasteful practice, because in the devouring of crushing the light, nearly seventy percent of the soul power will dissipate in the air, and the remaining thirty percent will be integrated into the user's soul, only a small part of it can be fused and promoted, and the remaining vast majority of the soul power will be precipitated in the user's soul. If we can't find an effective way to digest this part of the precipitated soul power, then this part of the soul power will become a side effect and affect the user's soul.
In fact, according to the knowledge of darkness he obtained, making soul elixirs is the most correct way to use this kind of soul crystallization stone, and the name of this potion is very strange, according to the translation of common languages, this potion is called a human elixir.
The biggest role of the human potion is to protect the soul from being lost in the abyss, and it is also the real effect of the human nature potion, but the same human potion also has other effects, that is, it can heal the wounds of the soul, or restore the loss of the soul.
Although human potions cannot directly increase strength, they can be used to heal souls, which is far more precious than ordinary potions.
Although Leo can't use this potion now, as his psionic level continues to increase, he will inevitably come into contact with the evolution of the soul level, and once the evolution fails, it will inevitably cause damage to the soul level, and this human potion will naturally have an effect at that time.
Leo is well aware of the importance of the human nature potion, so naturally he will not be as stupid as before to directly crush the soul crystals equipped with the important ingredients of the human nature potion, but will receive these soul crystals into the storage space, save them, and also dismantle the broken soul campfire trap, and recycle the rune modules that can still be used inside.
From the very beginning of making mechanical traps, Leo began to focus on overall modularity, which allowed him to disassemble other traps at any time to assemble new traps suitable for his current needs, and later when making rune traps, he also used this method, which allowed him to create a large number of usable rune traps when materials were scarce.
After tidying up, Leo continued to walk towards the stairs of the collapsed wall, but instead of disarming his vision, he carefully observed his surroundings with his vision.
When he passed another tower of the city wall, he paused slightly, because in his spiritual vision, there was a soul body in this tower sitting weakly on a chair in the tower, and it was not difficult to tell from the clothes on the soul body that he should be a clergyman, and from his huge figure of nearly five meters, it could be seen that he should be a godborn.
This was the first time that Leo had seen the gods in their full form since arriving in the royal city, and although they were only gods, some of the features of the gods could be inferred from the characteristics of the gods.
I saw that this godborn had a very long face, his face was blue-white, four pairs of vertical eyes were arranged in order at the door of his head, there were no nostrils, but he had a pair of ears similar to that of a human, and his mouth was extremely full of sharp teeth.
At this time, the already extremely weak Divine Descendant Soul Body suddenly opened his four eyes completely, stared at Leo's left hand, as if he saw something terrifying, opened his mouth, and without saying anything, the soul body gradually dimmed and quickly disappeared, and on the chair there was something that looked like a puppet or something.
The knowledge gained from the Serpent's Eye is the origin of this thing, which was given by the gods of Arnor Lund to the clergy who served them to perform certain divine spells, which worked like the Serpent's Eye.
The gods of Arnornd are not like the gods of the world of Veron, they can directly endow believers with divine magic, they will only teach some magical knowledge to the clergy, and then give them various casting mediums needed to perform this divine magic, and the casting medium of each god is not universal.
Through the psychic ability, Leo can see that there are still strong psionic fluctuations left on this magic medium, which shows that it has performed a strong magic not long ago, and compared with the ghost archers he encountered before, it is not difficult to guess that the appearance of those ghost archers is due to the magic performed by this priest.
It's just that obviously this godborn didn't expect Leo to have a soul bonfire trap, a sharp weapon specifically for souls, and solved all the ghost archers at once, making the gods backlash and directly destroy the godborn as a soul body.
Leo picked up the magic medium and looked at it, although it looked simple, it was actually not ordinary at all.
The outside of this thing is a rune cloth, and there are a large number of mysterious runes on the surface of the cloth, and some items are wrapped in the cloth, and those items are definitely not simple, because when he grasped this magic medium in his hand, he could clearly feel a strong breath of life, far beyond the scope of his understanding.
Judging by the strength of the breath of life, the items wrapped in the rune cloth are part of the body of a high-level lifeform, that is, hair or nails, or even flesh and bones, and this high-level lifeform has at least an eighth-level psionic person's level of evolution.
Even in the universe of the Earth Federation, the body parts of the high-level psionics are also valuable things, and they are usually included in biological research institutes that are specially used to cultivate new varieties of biological genes, and because of the huge life energy contained in the body parts of the high-level psionics, the newly cultivated biological genes have a great survival rate.
It's just that Leo is not thinking about how to use this magic medium in his mind now, but thinking that the god Arnorlund corresponding to this magic medium is still alive, and the powerful vitality emanating from the magic medium is the best evidence.
The body parts of any higher life form, even if it is just hair and nails, have a kind of connection with the higher life form itself, and when the source body of these parts dies, the life energy contained in these parts will quickly dissipate, and these parts will also lose their special effect.
So far, the Supreme Council of the Universe has not figured out what this connection is, because this connection has no space and time limitations, even if the source body of the body part is millions of light years away, when the source body dies, the flow of life energy of the body part will occur at the same time.
The Supreme Council also uses this special life characteristic connection of the higher life forms to let each council member leave a part of his body parts and keep them properly, once the council member has an accident, then the Supreme Council will also find out as soon as possible and find out the cause.
In the same way, the deity corresponding to this divine medium should still be alive from the current situation.
With curiosity, Leo carefully examined the details of the rune cloth on the outside of this magic medium, to see if he could find the mark of the corresponding god from it.
"Mother of the Night?" Leo soon found the imprint of the gods, and by comparing the insignia of the gods in the book written by the people of the Dragon Academy, he quickly found the corresponding deity.
There is not much information about the Mother of the Night in that book, because the Mother of the Night is very mysterious, she is the only one of the gods of Arnorlund who has not built a temple, the only one who has not been served by a priest, and she has never appeared in the festivals of the gods, and some of the gods who can enter and leave Arnorlund have not even seen the statue of the Mother of Night in the temple of the gods of Arnorlund, so some people wonder if there is a god such as the Mother of the Night.
