"It seems that I guessed correctly, it is really the heart of the ancient tree." Ryan sighed and said, "It seems like it's very difficult to appear, isn't it?"

"Why!" Alendor's expression was visibly agitated, and he said to Ryan, "Do you know how many years it will take for our druid tribe to produce a great druid?

"Sunrise City?" Ryan asked.

"Yes, the Druids lost three Great Druids in that battle, and even then, it was only a huge tree of life that was formed. ”

Listening to Elendo's few words, Ryan couldn't help but be moved: "It's really rare! I can only recognize it, but I don't know its specific origin is so painful!"

"Maybe I can tell if it's the result of the self-sacrifice of the Great Druids, but what are you going to do with it now?" Alendor quickly adjusted his gaffe, after all, this place is full of unknowns, and he has to stay calm at all times to deal with all kinds of unexpected events.

"Since this is a relic of the Druid Elders, it should be exchanged for the Druid tribe. Ryan replied to Alendo's words without hesitation, there was nothing for such an important thing, but Sophie, who was holding the heart of the ancient tree, hesitated a few times in her heart, she wanted to say a few words, but in the end she remained silent.

"Let's talk about this then, how do you get her away now?" Alendor gestured lightly at the female shadow, while Ryan said to Farath outside the room, "Fani, what can you do?"

"It's just two more practical ones," Faras walked in quickly, she controlled her vision, avoiding the dried corpses on the bed as much as possible, and then said to Ryan: "Find a temporary container to put her soul in first, and then take her away and think of him, or you can directly sign a soul contract with her, and it will save countless troubles." ”

"The second one, isn't it right?" Ryan hesitated to hear the word soul contract again.

"It's up to you and her to choose, but I want to warn you that the former is only a temporary measure, and even if you take away her soul, you still have to find other ways to settle it, otherwise there will still be problems. The latter is a good idea, her soul doesn't need to devour other creatures like necromancy to keep herself alive, because you will feed her with your own mana, which is quite a heavy price for other magicians, but you are the opposite. ”

"There's no other way?" Of course, Ryan also knows the benefits of the soul contract, he uses his own mana to provide the other party for consumption, but the other party has to unconditionally obey his master, which is not harmful to Ryan at all, but he really doesn't want to increase the number of soul contracts for himself, Vivien and Adela are enough to give him a headache.

"If you sign a soul contract, will it affect your life?" the female shadow suddenly spoke.

"This ......" As soon as Ryan opened his mouth, Faras rushed to say: "Don't worry, he's not the kind of villain who bullies others, you don't have to worry about this." As for the signing of the contract, the party who is the master will naturally provide you with a place to stay, if the strength is insufficient, this place of accommodation may be a magic container, and when his strength is enough to open up his own space, then you can live in his exclusive magic tower, just for him to be a housekeeper, this seems to be similar to what you did before, right?"

"Looks ...... You seem to want me to choose the second option?" the female shadow stared deeply at Faraz.

Faraz's eyes met the other party's gaze directly, and she spoke: "Yes, although my strength is temporarily superior to him, there is some reason for this, and in fact, I believe that among those of us, Ryan must be the first to step into that step." ”

"Which step?" you mean...... Legendary Realm?" The female shadow obviously knew a lot about the legendary realm, she first looked at Ryan, then at Guan Lasi, and asked in a puzzled tone, "How do you look at it, it's your strength far beyond him, and it seems, even if it's him," the female shadow said this, pointing at Alendor next to her, and then continued: "It's also a lot more, why?"

'I have faith in him, in fact all of us have faith in him. Faraz's face was full of confidence, she glanced at Ryan a little shyly, and then raised her head and said: "I don't support him because I am his wife and trust him, I believe in him unconditionally because I am his teammate, because he is our captain, and from the first day we met, he has led us to complete one incredible task after another." ”

"I'm looking forward to hearing you say that," the female shadow nodded, and turned her head to Ryan, "Can you let me join, future master?"

"Since you have chosen the Soul Contract, then I will naturally consider you as a teammate. Ryan had already made up his mind when the female shadow was talking to Faras, and now that the other party had made a choice, he said, "Since the first day of my adventure, I have never abandoned my teammates, and I have been like this before, and I will continue to do so, and you are welcome to join you...... Well, I don't know your name yet?"

"Emma-Angelina, you can call me Emma. The female shadow said her name.

"Emma, that's a nice name. Faras took the initiative to say hello to the other party, which was regarded as accepting a new team member to join, and then she gave full play to her female advantages and introduced Ryan and his group of six people to each other, and after completing this step, let Ryan start the entire soul contract ceremony.

Compared with Vivien and Adra, Ryan's soul contract with Emma is much more difficult, because the latter has no entity, so if Ryan wants this contract to take effect, the more price he has to pay, but with Ryan's current strength, he doesn't care about this level of attrition at all, he didn't even make too many preparations, and recited the spell of the soul contract ritual in the surprised eyes of the female shadow Emma.

When Ryan's finger lightly tapped on Emma's forehead, Emma, who was originally just a faint shadow, suddenly directly emitted a faint light, and Emma herself felt a huge energy emanating from Ryan's body, which was slowly absorbed by her ethereal body, and Emma, who had dried up for 200 years, was greedily absorbing this mana like a traveler who had been hungry for a long time and met a sweet stream.

Under the guidance of Faraz, Emma slowly strengthened her soul with the mana absorbed from Ryan, which was originally a secret method of necromancers, and absorbing the life essence and soul of others like Susan is for this, but with the support of Ryan's mana as vast as the starry sky, Emma completed the entire ritual of strengthening her soul, and did not find that her master had any signs of mana failure, which also gave Emma a new understanding of Farath's words before.

After completing the whole ritual, Emma can already float freely, but unfortunately, she can't leave Ryan's side, once she leaves Ryan more than 10 meters, her passage to absorb mana from Ryan will stop by itself, which will make Emma's soul quickly depleted due to lack of energy, so that it will eventually dissipate, so Emma naturally follows Ryan's side closely, which makes the thief Sophie rarely scold a few words.

Not only that, but because Emma is very familiar with the entire Temple of the Apocalypse, now Ryan and his group of seven no longer need Sophie to continue the search and advance, Emma directly led everyone to the temple high priest's room, along the way also met a lot of Templars who have not yet rested, Emma is very sad that her former companions have become such immortal monsters, but she still begged Ryan and the others to let them rest forever.

"This is one of the temple's storerooms. Emma pointed to a thick door and said, "I don't know if I can open it with a spell now." ”

After Emma finished speaking, she recited a series of incantations, and the thick wall-like door creaked and slowly opened, and when everything in the storage room appeared in the eyes of Ryan and his party, everyone except Emma was shocked.

Yes, this is a huge storage room, Ryan estimates that it can hold at least 1,000 people, but this space is not enough to shock Ryan and them, what really makes Ryan stunned is the large number of Mithril ingots stacked neatly on top of each other.

"This is the Mithril Warehouse, each Mithril Block is smelted at a standard weight and stored here, and now there is only a small half of the warehouse left, about ......" Emma tilted her head and calculated, and continued to speak: "It's only enough for 5,000 people, this is already the minimum storage, in fact, if it wasn't for the Undead Legion, maybe the temple would have added some to it." ”

"How is it possible, 5,000 people ......," Sophie cried out.

"yes, it's a little less. Emma's expression showed a sense of regret.

Faras had seen the storage warehouse of the imperial capital, so she still had some resistance to the large number of Mithril ingots that appeared in front of her, she calculated, and suddenly remembered something, so she asked: "Emma, the amount of 5,000 people you mentioned should not be used to make full-body armor, right?"

"Yes, we Templars used to wear Mithril full-body armor, and it was very light anyway, so it didn't get in the way. ”

"Whew!" Ryan and Faras exhaled at the same time as they listened to Emma's words, as they had made a mistake in their calculations. In fact, how can ordinary warriors have the luxury of wearing Mithril full-body armor? It is already good to be able to use Mithril to strengthen the vital parts of the armor, if you follow the kind of equipment that Ryan gave to Cassano's warriors before, this can create 5,000 sets of Mithril Armor Mithril ingots, which is probably enough to support 2 Jonas legions, that is, about 12 to 130,000 people.

"I can't wait!" Ryan said to Farrath.

"Me too. Faras said the same.

"Well, how are we going to move out? That's a lot......" Sophie said.

"I remember Ryan, you brought a lot of storage pockets. Faras continued.

"I'm afraid I can't fit it, don't forget the body of that hydra. Ryan smiled wryly and said, "Sometimes it's a kind of distress to get too much." ”
