Chapter 648: Capturing the Soul, the World After Death
Of course, this curse is just a way of describing Xia Duo, and it is not a magical [curse] with real power, and it does not have any effect on the magic web.
In fact, there shouldn't be anyone in the Tower of Time who can actually curse Shado.
The sudden death of the Drow Assassin also shocked the other people in front of the Drow prison on the negative floor, and even before the smile on their faces when Xia Duo succeeded in making the Drow Assassin "speak", they suddenly saw this scene.
Alberke immediately said, "I've taken everything I can from him before. ”
The ordinary prison of the Tower of Time only suppresses spells, not the actions of the imprisoned, and it is unlikely that the Drow Assassin committed suicide through magic, it should be that there is poison hidden on his body, and after realizing that the secret may be leaked, he immediately committed suicide.
Who would have thought that the Drow Assassin, who was known for his "cruelty" and "cunning", would commit suicide so easily, and both Xia Duo and Alberke regretted putting him in an ordinary prison.
Even if he doesn't enter the [Static Room] where even his consciousness can be imprisoned, at least his body movements must be restricted.
With little hesitation, Xia Duo immediately sent a private message to Niya, "Can the Tower of Time capture souls?" I still have a lot of questions to ask! ”
[Projection Plane: Arcane Empire] can capture souls, and it can also resurrect the dead, when Xia Duo just projected there, he encountered a sneak attack by elves in the academy, and many graduates died, but a teacher intercepted the souls of about ten people, and then the principal directly sent the [Resurrection Division] to resurrection.
After that, ten of those dead graduates actually showed up at the graduation ceremony.
As long as the time is short enough and the action is fast enough, it should be able to intercept the soul of the Drow assassin, and then whether it is resurrection or direct torture of the soul, maybe the Grand Arcanists will have a way.
Nia, who received the summons from Shado, was extremely surprised by Shado's idea, because capturing souls is also a relatively taboo thing in Netheril, and both the Lord of Death and the Lord of Light have a commitment to the afterlife.
The difference is nothing more than in the underworld or the sea of light.
And the mages have long understood that whether it is the underworld or the sea of light, they are some kind of special plane, in the direction of the astral boundary, but it is more distant than the astral boundary.
Even if it is a little illusory, it can be regarded as a psychological consolation, knowing that this life is not the end, and there is an afterlife to be found.
In this case, although soul research is not an absolute taboo like a necromancer (studying negative energy is not a necromancer, but mass-producing undead is), it can also be quite a bit of a joke.
And like Xia Duo who directly said that she wanted to capture the soul, Niya had never thought about it before today, and after being surprised, she subconsciously frowned, in addition to the taboo about this matter, there is-
She does have a way of capturing souls.
Nia had just heard the Drow Assassin describe his mission, which was to find weak spots in the leylines on the surface in order to open more dark exits.
And the human territory that the Drow Assassin spoke of was probably near the Savile territory, or even in the Savile territory, which made Nia very uneasy.
After only a moment's hesitation, she decided that she wanted to capture the soul of the Drow assassin, and she would definitely be able to ask where the weak point of the leyline was, and she also needed to continue to ask for more information about Drow.
In Xia Duo's eyes, after receiving his summons, Niya was first surprised, then frowned, and then directly teleported away, and the others, including Xia Duo, did not have the right to teleport on the negative floor, and could only come and go through the elevator.
Just as Chardo thought Nia was angry or something, Nia suddenly appeared again, holding a ruby larger than a quail egg.
But unlike ordinary gems, this gem is emitting a strong magical aura in the magical vision, which is very dazzling and impossible to ignore.
Apparently this is a powerful, gem-like magical item.
Is it to use it to capture the soul? Xia Duo guessed in his heart.
"You guys leave first, I'll take care of it!"
Nia spoke quickly, and before everyone could react, she teleported all the others, including Shado, to the public level.
On the public floor, Xia Duo glanced at Alberk, and saw that his eyes were also full of doubts, not to mention Theore and Cecily, who didn't seem to realize that they had reached the public floor and were confused!
Immediately afterward, Xia Duo and Alberk were teleported to the negative level again, but this time, Theore and Cecily did not follow.
As soon as Shado came over, he saw that Nia was holding the ruby-shaped magic object in front of her eyes and looking at it carefully, but judging by her tightly knit brow, the result seemed to be very unsatisfactory.
"Nia, what's the situation?" Shado asked.
"I'm sorry, Xia Duo and Uncle Alberck, I just teleported you away without notifying you due to time urgency." Nia put away the gem and looked at Xia Duo and Albuck.
Then he said, "I tried to use the [Soul Gem] just now, but I didn't stop anything. ”
Nia's tone was a little low, she knew this, and when she had just locked up this drow assassin, she had brought the [Soul Gem] over.
It's a pity that time can't be turned back, no one can predict all situations, and the next time you encounter such a situation, you may have to prepare in advance.
"What are you talking about? What the hell is going on? Abek, who had been puzzled for a long time, finally spoke.
"Uncle Alberke, that's the case, just now Xia Duo reminded me to intercept the soul of that Drow assassin, and then I went back to get the [Soul Gem], I didn't expect it to be a step too late, it's all my fault, if only I could have thought of it earlier!"
It seemed that seeing that Nia was a little depressed, Alberk immediately comforted: "Don't think too much, don't I think about it!" If you're trying to determine where the weak point of the leylines might be near Savile territory, I have other options. ”
"What's the solution?" Niya immediately came to her senses and hurriedly asked.
Even Xia Duo cast a concerned gaze, the traces left by Drow would disappear after daylight, and they couldn't use the black ball detector, what else could they do to find the weak point of the leyline!
Chado was intrigued by the method that Alberke was talking about.
It's just that the next words of Abbeck disappointed Xia Duo, he said, "I thought about it just now, that drow assassin wants to search for the weak point of the leyline, most likely through that black ball sonic magic weapon, we can also use it to search around the territory. ”
Nia was very happy about this, but Xia Duo knew that it was almost impossible to find the so-called weak point of the leyline if she could only "use" it, but not "analyze".
Of course, at this time, Xia Duo did not express his opinion, so as not to make Niya Bai happy again, there is a hope to drag on first, maybe there will be a way later!
The worst thing is to accept the status quo, anyway, when the sky falls, there are tall people on top, Xia Duo believes that it is absolutely impossible for the Grand Arcanists to let Drow casually open the exit of the dark region in the Naisai territory.
Busy coming and going, the time was not early, and the three of them did not continue to discuss anything, and soon dispersed.
