Chapter 240: Soul Crystal
Xiu followed Roland and them all the way out of the secret room, and finally couldn't help it. He whispered to Gray, "Who is that guy who looks like Roland?" How...... Looks exactly like Roland?! ”
Gray glanced at Xiu and said with a pale face, "Didn't I tell you before!" The people who traveled with us were the dragon knights of the Holy Court. The man you're talking about is the same name as Roland, Master Dingennier. ”
"Huh?! You're saying that this dragon knight not only looks like Roland, but even has the same name? So what is the relationship between him and Roland?! ”
"Is that hard to guess? Brothers, otherwise what do you think it can be? Gray was a little helpless.
Xiu was so shocked that he stopped. He looked at Roland's back, then at Dingeniel's, and then said with some uncertainty: "Since Roland and that dragon knight are brothers, doesn't that mean that Roland, like that dragon knight, is not a human, but a god?" No wonder when I first saw Roland, I felt that his temperament was different from others, it turned out that this is the reason! ”
Gray smiled and didn't say anything more. After coming out and being exposed to the fresh air, he finally eased up a little, and his mind became a lot clearer. Gray glanced at the crystal again, and couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is this?" ”
Sharon glanced back at Gray and opened the curtain again, and a burst of purple light burst from her arms, illuminating the surrounding groves.
Sure enough, that discomfort began to come back.
Roland reflexively took a few steps back, allowing himself to move away from the crystal. Sharon held the crystal in his hand and said, "Look at its shape." ”
"Isn't this just an irregularly shaped crystal?" Gray said as he covered his face, but his body retreated farther than Roland. "Huh? Doesn't seem right! You see this edge of it is so smooth, it's like a ...... A pedestal! ”
Gray's words instantly caught Roland's attention.
Roland looked at it, and found that the crystal, although most of the faces looked irregularly shaped, the side that Sharon was holding was very smooth, it was an arc shape, and it did look like a base.
If the area of the fan is to be estimated, if the crystal had been carved, it would have been about the size of a real person. Those irregularities are probably the cross-sections of the statue when it was broken. And if you look closely, these crystals don't seem to be purple, but colorless, but the light they emit is reddish-purple.
Why did Archimedes take this crystal, which was only a small piece of wreckage, as a treasure?
Although Roland knew that it was special to be able to glow on its own, was this crystal really special enough to be offered up?
"Why does this thing look familiar? Could it be ......" Xiu suddenly blurted out, obviously thinking of something.
"Have you seen it?" Sharon glanced at Xiu and asked expressionlessly.
Xiu replied, "I remember, I think I've collected small stones like this...... While I was alive. ”
"This thing is called a soul crystal, a crystal condensed from the essence of heaven and earth, which comes from the earth. It has a very special attraction to demons. But for other races, it won't feel so comfortable. I think that's why Roland and Gray feel uncomfortable when they see it. The function of the enchantment in that manor is probably to block its breath. It seems that we have really found something amazing this time. ”
Soul crystals?
Xiu recalled that Wu Yao seemed to have mentioned this word before, as if it was in the incident where Freckles summoned demons in the War College! Later, Wu Yao also said that the soul crystal should have been taken away by others, and it seemed that the soul crystal at that time was probably the one that was in front of their eyes now!
It seems that Archimedes was really involved in that incident at that time!
For some reason, the scenes of his life began to emerge in front of Xiu's eyes, and the details of his small stall began to become clear!
You can't go wrong!
Xiu remembered that when he was digging for the stone he used for divination in the field, he had inadvertently dug up a crystal that was the same as this soul crystal! Transparent and colorless, but emitting a reddish-purple glow. At that time, Xiu thought it looked good, and he didn't think much about it, so he took the crystal back to Shuangyue City and put it on the table.
Then a few days later, Xiu's murder happened. Now that I think about it, it seems that after his death, the only thing that disappeared from the scene seemed to be that crystal!
Could it be that this is the truth of one's own death?
Xiu couldn't help but shake his head a little: if all this is true, and the soul crystal has a strong attraction to demons, then isn't it really very likely that his own murder is the hand of the demon as Xia Zuo said? And the reason why the demon attacked him was to seize the soul crystal!
Thinking of this, Xiu's mood suddenly became dark, he didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be so unexpected!
Xiu suddenly felt that his thoughts began to become clearer, and those forgotten memories began to resurface in his mind!
Thoughts, as if back to the day of the crime.
Xiu Quan remembered.
After sending off the practice group of the Silver Moon Class that day, Xiu sat down again and continued to look at the Foundation of the Law Circle. Then he suddenly felt a dark shadow flash in front of him, and then he felt a crimson in front of him, his head swelled, and then he fell straight down.
After falling, Xiu's last consciousness seemed to see the looming black shadow. With a high hairline and sharp nails, it's Tirion, the southern lord of Castlevania!
It turns out that the real murderer of Xiu is Tyrion!
It's just that Xiu hadn't seen Tirion before, so he didn't know who Tirion was, and he could only deduce that Tirion was a high demon based on the characteristics of Tirion's hands.
Sharon looked at Xiu and said, "If it is really as you say, then you, the undead, should not be born naturally. In fact, I thought it was a little strange before, why you are obviously an undead, but your personality is so gentle and rational. It seems that your resentment does not allow you to turn into an undead spirit after death. It's just that because you had soul crystals by your side at that time, under the guidance of the power of soul crystals, your soul can still swim in the world after death. ”
So that's it!
Xiu suddenly realized: No wonder they all say that he is different from other undead, it turns out that he can't become an undead at all! I didn't expect this soul crystal to have such a strange ability, no wonder everyone wanted to get it!
"In that case, what is the use of Archimedes as a human to have this soul crystal?" Roland asks a question.
Sharon replied, "That's what puzzles me the most. We still don't know what effect this soul crystal has on humans, so I can't guess what the owner of that manor wants this soul crystal to do. ”
After realizing that this soul crystal was such a magical thing, Roland suddenly thought of a question: the light emitted by this thing was too conspicuous, wouldn't it be easy to attract the attention of others?
Sharon seemed to see through Roland's thoughts, but his tone still didn't fluctuate: "Someone has noticed." The aura of this thing is not so easy to hide. It doesn't take long for someone to come to the door and grab it, and maybe something else......"
"Something else? What is it? Gray asked, puzzled.
Sharon calmly replied, "While you may feel uncomfortable with the light of the soul crystal, to the demons, it is a refreshing fragrance. Just a short moment ago, the demons hiding in this Twin Moon City are probably already feeling its existence. They will definitely not give up this opportunity, and they will definitely rush over one after another to seize this soul crystal. However, this also saves us a lot of effort, so we don't have to go to the door to investigate one by one, and maybe we can also attract some unknown guys. ”
