Inside a single-family cottage in sector 7.

The figures of Leno and Dinas emerged in the brief flickering of firelight.

Dinas looked at the crystal in Li Nuo's hand, a look of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Li Nuo spread out his palm and showed the crystal:

"You can see the red smoke coming out of the spires of the Black City. Red smoke is an area of pollution that is spreading underground. The tainted realm that appears in the Black City is related to the soul in the crystal. But this soul is not the culprit responsible for the pollution of the realm. On the contrary, her existence has postponed the invasion of alien sky pollution, which should have appeared at the end of the Dianjin Dynasty, until today. ”

"So," Dinas's gaze flickered a few times, and she asked, staring at the girl in the floral dress in the crystal:

The soul closed its eyes as if it were sleeping. And she was wearing clothes, not naked. I seem to have seen this unique soul phenomenon in some book. ”

Li Nuo was slightly stunned:

"What do you mean? Isn't it normal for human souls to fall asleep in their clothes? ”

Dinas nodded:

"Hmmm! This phenomenon is unique. Normally, no matter what the reason for becoming a soul, the appearance of a human soul should be naked. Because clothing is an external thing, it is impossible for it to be transformed into the form of a soul body with the human soul. ”

"I think so," said Lenovo, looking at the soul sleeping peacefully in the crystal.

Do you remember what was unique? She's in a weird state indeed. I'm using Soul Shaping and Soul Shaping Tattoos to transform her into a ghost. But the strange thing is that the soul energy she absorbed is almost beyond the upper limit of the energy required to shape the soul, but there is still no sign of slowing down the absorption. ”

Dinas blinked and looked at Leno with a slightly shocked look of adoration:

"You can also shape the soul branch spell, it's amazing..."

Dinas had seen many different types and branches of spells on Li Nuo before. At this time, when she heard that the other party had also mastered the soul shaping spell, although she was still amazed in her heart, she was no longer as shocked as before.

Li Nuo didn't say it explicitly, and Dinas didn't ask questions, only thinking that the extraordinary things about the other party were caused by their extraordinary characteristics.

As for what extraordinary characteristics Leno possessed, Dinas didn't want to know. Even if this extraordinary trait was so peculiar that it had never appeared in any book on it, Dinas did not intend to delve into it.

She thought for a moment and said:

"Hmm... The book I was reading was called The Soul Care Handbook, and the author was unknown, so I had to borrow it from the library in Hothams. The book says that if a soul has clothing on it, it means that her soul has been transformed by some kind of ritual. During this ceremony, her soul was fixed in her soul form by the ritual, so she wore clothes in her soul form. ”

Dinas lowered her head, and her gaze fell on the soul of the girl in a floral dress and no shoes and socks:

"This soul is the kind of situation I just described. I don't know what kind of ritual she was involved in, but in short, her soul has been transformed by the ritual. The soul, mind, and body are a triune being. If either party is immobilized, it will cause the other two parties to stop. Her soul will always remain the appearance of a girl in a floral dress, then her body and mind will stay in the stage of a girl. ”

Li Nuo shook his head slightly, sighed and said:

"No wonder after so many years, her mental level and mental age have not changed, it turns out that this is the case."

Li Nuo threw a deconstruction technique at the sleeping soul, consuming some energy points and gaining the results of the comprehension.

Li Nuo glanced at the system words in his mind and nodded as if he had realized something.

He knew why the girl had absorbed so much soul energy.

[System News:]

[Solve the work! 】

[Your completion of the deconstruction of "Transforming Angel Souls" has been increased to 30%]

[You have obtained some of the target's panel information:]

Name: Nicole

【Type】Out-of-body soul, artificial angel

[Identity 1] An ancient remnant of the Dianjin Dynasty

【Identity 2】Cursed Apostle of the Blood Sun Divine Seal (terminated)

【Identity 3】Artificial Angel of the Angel Business Consortium (in effect)

【Identity 4】An artificial angel distorted by the Seal of the Blood Sun (terminated)

【Features】

Angel Soul Sculpting:

Nicole's soul was freed from a shell tainted by the Blood-Sun Seal.

The part of the angel seed that had been corroded by the Blood Sun Divine Seal was trapped in the contaminated shell.

The small number of angelic seeds that were not corrupted by the Blood Sun Divine Seal followed Nicole's soul out of the shell.

Angel Seeds have a stronger soul-shaping effect than the Soul Shaping Tattoo you place on the Soul Retreat Crystal.

Your Soul Shaping Tattoo is not working.

Now, Nicole is transforming in the direction of the Angel Soul with the help of the remaining Angel Seeds.

(The deconstruction is not complete enough, and you don't get more information.) ）

…

Li Nuo looked carefully at the message sent by the system, and there was no sign on it that said, "After testing, deconstructing this thing will have a negative impact on you".

The system also did not remind Li Nuo to use harmless deconstruction to deconstruct Nicole's soul.

This shows that Nicole's soul itself, as well as the small part of angel seeds that remain in the soul, do not contain any polluting ingredients, and are something that can be believed and accepted.

Since the system believes that Nicole's Soul and Angel Seed are innocent, Li Nuo will naturally trust the system's judgment.

"System, 100% deconstruction of Nicole's soul. I need to know how much soul energy she needs to suck from me. If I don't have enough inventory, I'll have to find a way to get more soul crumbs as soon as possible. ”

Li Nuo meditated in his heart.

After a brief trance, the complete panel information is presented in the mind.

The "Characteristics" and "Skills" columns are empty, and only "Angel Soul" exists.

What made Li Nuodou pay more attention was the "status bar", which contained only one active status.

…

…

I lost... More than 3,000 soul strengths.

The corners of Li Nuo's mouth twitched.

Forget it, let's help people to the end. It's a big deal to let the young angel be a child laborer in the future, and brush out more than 3,000 soul strength for himself.

Leno came back to his senses and explained to Dinas the origin of the soul.

In about three minutes before and after, Li Nuo briefly explained the cause and effect.

He did not mention the "Angel Enterprise Complex" and the "Blood Sun Divine Seal". Because for these two alien forces, he couldn't explain clearly for a while.

Because Leno had concealed some of the information, Dinas heard it a little foggy, but she still barely understood the origin of the girl's soul.

Li Nuo thought for a moment and asked:

"Dinas, do you have anything that can preserve this soul for a long time? I had a hunch that she would spend a long time in a deep sleep before waking up. ”

"Yes, I'll look for it."

Dinas fiddled in her magic pocket and pulled out a metal magic box with a silver pattern.

When the lid was opened, a rounded white stone appeared on the dark red cushion.

"This is a necessary item for casting the high-level rebirth spell "Resurrection of the Dead", called "Soul Stone". The soul can be stored inside for a period of one year. A year later, the rebirth magic in the Soul Stone ran out, and we had to replace the little girl with another Soul Stone. ”

"Stored for a year... Well, she won't sleep that long. This one soul stone is enough. Li Nuo handed over the Soul Retreat Crystal in his hand:

"Oh, Dinas, you can transfer her to the Soul Stone."

"Okay." Dinas took the crystal and used the magic of regeneration to channel the soul into the soul stone.

Leno was watching Dinas move when a noisy voice came into the house from the street outside.

Li Nuo walked to the window, opened a gap in the curtain and looked out of the window.

Several teams of guards of the Alchemy Sanctuary drove through the streets, shouting loudly with loud alchemy horns:

"Get out of town! Evacuate the whole city! Everybody leave Downtown at once! Everybody leave Downtown at once! ”

Li Nuo activates the "Psychic Beacon" to check the iron cigarette cases placed in various parts of the lower city.

With the help of the Psychic Vision's vision-jumping feature, he saw the situation in the entire lower city.

The situation is similar in the streets, with the Templar guards and alchemist forces urging civilians to leave the lower town.

It seems that the contaminated realm that unfolds in the deepest part of the Rift Corridor has been detected by the Alchemy Sanctuary. It is estimated that the Elemental Trial told the Alchemy Sanctuary.

Li Nuo turned the direction of observation of the "Spiritual Vision" and looked at the Cat Society Manor.

In the open spaces inside and outside the manor, there are many living armors and magical servants.

Betty and a group of wizard students with only one ring of strength were sent into the magic car by Filia. Escorted by animate armor and magical servants, they sailed out of the manor and headed for the city gates.

Filia didn't get into the car. Is she going to stay here and confront the realm of pollution?

Li Nuo was a little worried, but quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

Filia didn't stay in the manor for long. She commanded the magical servants to load a large amount of luggage onto the magic car, and flew into the sky in the crammed magic car.

Several magical servants spun around in the air, out of range of the magic car, and flew all over the city.

One of the magical servants flew towards Li Nuo.

As Li Nuo watched, it rang the doorbell, shoved the envelope under the door into the crack, and then turned and flew away, merging with the magic car.

When the housekeeper opened the door, she saw nothing but the envelopes on the floor.

"Knock knock."

The bedroom door was knocked on by the housekeeper.

"Sir, there's an urgent letter from the Cat Society."

Li Nuo activates "Life and Death Tracking" and looks outside the door.

He unleashed a "perceptual tampering" through the door panel, erasing Dinas from the butler's sight.

Dinas is transferring her soul, so it's better not to be disturbed.

Li Nuo threw out the deconstruction technique, confirmed that the words "being tampered with" appeared on the housekeeper's "status bar", and opened the bedroom door.

He took the letter from the other party's hand and said in a solemn tone:

"You hear the shouting in the streets, right? Go and join the men of Ironthorn and leave the city. ”

The shouts announcing the evacuation upset the housekeeper, but because she cherished her hard-won work, she did not take the liberty of disturbing Li Nuo in retreat. It wasn't until she got an urgent letter from the Cat Club that she came to knock on the door.

After getting Li Nuo's approval, she asked with an anxious look:

"Sir, aren't you leaving? Do I need to prepare a vehicle? ”

Li Nuo shook his head slightly and responded calmly:

"No, you can leave first. Be fast. ”

"Okay, sir, I'll go pack my bags."

The housekeeper hurriedly turned around and left, but was stopped by Li Nuo.

"Wait, packing is such a waste of time. You just take my backpack and give it to Conte, Daric, or Sindy. ”

Li Nuo hung the backpack with folding space on the butler's back, and urged the stunned other party to say:

"Let's go. The bag contains clothing, food, medicine, and aggregate coins. Your two kids and husband are already in the car, don't worry about them. ”

"Thank you, sir. You... How would you know..."

Li Nuo knew what the other party was going to ask, and now was not the time to explain.

Li Nuo shook his hand, without saying a word, and pushed the housekeeper to the stairwell:

"Let's go. Later, hurry up. ”

"Yes, sir, thank you. Bless you. The housekeeper went down the stairs in a little panic, ran to the door, and left the hut as the door closed.

Li Nuo used the "camera" to look at the Iron Thornshield motorcycle that was heading towards the hut.

The housekeeper confronts the man with the Iron Thorn Shield and boards Mark's motorcycle. The convoy did not head towards the hut, but turned around and headed for the city gate amid the words relayed by the housekeeper.

Mark and the other security guards had solemn expressions on their faces, and pedestrians on both sides of the road were in a hurry. Every now and then, someone falls to the ground and is almost stepped on by someone behind them.

The catastrophe, which originated in the deepest part of the Rift Corridor, had not yet spread to the ground, but it had already set off waves that swept the city.

Li Nuo interrupted the "Spiritual Vision" and turned his head to see that Dinas had just breathed a sigh of relief and completed the operation of transferring his soul.

Li Nuo came to her and stretched out his hand to put his hand on the soul stone where Nicole's soul was lying, and conveyed a large amount of soul strength into it.

Transparent and invisible energy fluctuations emanated from his hands, violent enough for Dinas to be aware of its presence.

"What are you?" Dinas asked quietly.

"I'm feeding this little guy." Li Nuo withdrew his palm.

The sudden departure of more than a thousand points of soul strength made him feel a sense of emptiness from the soul level, as if there was nothing, but as if he was hungry and substantial.

When he absorbed more than two thousand soul strength in one go, he didn't feel full or full at all. But when it came time to vomit out more than a thousand soul strengths, I felt hungry...

It's quirky.

Li Nuo shook his head, driving the emptiness of his soul out of his mind.

He reached out and pressed it on the blood color array in his left hand, checking the contents of the blood space, and said at the same time:

"Dinas, leave the city with the soul stone and wait for me outside the city."

After putting the soul stone into her magic pocket, Dinas asked:

"What about you?"

"I'm going underground. See if the battle alchemists need help. ”

Li Nuo smiled at Dinas who had a worried face:

"Don't worry about me. You can rest assured that you will be waiting outside the city. If the situation is not right, I will have you come and take me away immediately. ”

Li Nuo's tone was calm, with a calming magic.

Dinas calmed the worries in her heart and said softly:

"Okay, then I'll wait outside the city. If you need my help, just let me know. I will always respond to you. ”

"Well, go ahead. I checked the booster and went underground. Li Nuo took off the ring on his finger:

"Oh, and this. Put this illusion ring on. Try to stay away from crowds. ”

"Uh-huh, then I'm leaving." Dinas took the ring and put it on herself.

After putting away her personal belongings in the house, she activated the "Death Flight" on her magic robe and the "Illusion Spell" on her illusion ring, and flew out of the hut in her invisibility state.

Li Nuo looked at Dinas's set of movements and nodded with satisfaction.

Without being reminded, Dinas took the initiative to cover her body with the "Illusion Technique" instead of swaggering out.

This is enough to show that Dinas is not a useless vase.

She clearly remembered what Li Nuo had told her before - try not to let others know about the contractual relationship between the two of them. She also proved with her own actions that she kept this sentence firmly in her heart.

In the face of such a companion who will not lag behind, it is difficult for Li Nuo to be dissatisfied.

"Alright, let me go underground one more time. Take advantage of the fact that there is no one underground, and take everything you can take. ”

Li Nuo counted with his fingers, there were really a lot of things waiting for him to collect.

"The River of the Heart: Volume II", the resource-based sage space, and the alchemy armament of a warehouse, these three things must be obtained as much as possible.

The rest depends purely on how the situation goes. If you can take it, you can take it, and if you can't get it, you can't say anything.

In the current underground corridor, there should be one person there besides the battle alchemist.

That's Filia's mentor.

When Li Nuo observed the Cat Society's manor, he confirmed that the wizard mentor, who was dressed nobly and elegantly, did not appear in the convoy.

Then there is only one answer. She also went underground, and she did so after receiving the order.

Li Nuo has always been curious about what level of strength this mentor is, and now he is just going to take a look.
