Ruinon was excited to see the soul stone he thought about day and night, and reached out to get it, but Conrad took the first step to pick up the soul stone from the old man's hand and said: "I think you know the role of the soul stone, it can save a person's soul. ”

Renon found that when Conrad took the soul stone, the only cyan soul stone in the old man's hand had lost its luster and turned gray, and he asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"What's going on? Because you're in my memory. ”

"Memory? Is it the memory of your soul?"

"Yes, this memory tells of the memory of the soul that I entrusted to the wandering poet Eli Issat. ”

"So you're Conrad......"

He went on to say from Rinon: "Stamoko. I am Conrad Starmoko, who challenged the creator god back then. ”

Conrad's voice was not heavy, but Rainon's ears were like a thunderbolt, deafening, so startled that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

Conrad smiled and said to Renon, "You see, Isatt has accepted my commission to hide my seven soul stones in all corners of the world. But then he thought about it and left one of them in the Phantom Palace, as he thought it was one of the safest places on the continent of Middle-earth. ”

"......" Renon stared at him blankly.

"Don't look at me like that, I have something to look at. ”

"Is this soul stone in your hand real? Could it be that this is just a phantom of your memory?

"That's right, it's all an illusion in my memory, except for this soul stone. Conrad played with the soul stone in his hand and said, "It's a long story, when I failed to challenge the creator god on the highest peak of the Andes, all the people of the Starmoko family were slaughtered and expelled by demons, and only a few neutral countries were willing to take us in. ”

"So you hid in neutral Kevin Rus, and then you found the Phantom Palace, a ...... that even the Holy See is afraid of."

"No, you're wrong. Conrad interrupted Rainon, "I didn't hide from Kevin Lass or I thought about hiding, because I'm dead, so there's no such thing as hiding." ”

"What? Dead, then this is ......," Renon asked three times in succession, surprised.

"Though I am dead, Stamoko's will will not be extinguished, and my soul will live on forever. Conrad became excited, "It was my mistake to think that I could challenge the God of Creation with some time and space magic. Yes, I'm naïve and arrogant, but I'm not reckless. I've considered the possibility of failure, so soul stones are the best choice. I prepared seven soul stones and cast a teleportation spell to prevent Stamoko's will from dying completely...... Then, just as I had prepared for the worst, I was cornered, and in desperation, I split my soul into seven parts and kept them in seven soul stones, and then hid them in all corners of the world. ”

"Isn't that hiding?"

"Have you ever heard of a successful case of splitting a soul and then restoring it?"

"Uh...... I haven't heard of it yet. ”

"There is only one soul, and once they are divided, they are incomplete. Once you leave the soul vessel, the only end is death. So I did it not for myself, but for the sake of the truth. Conrad said as he handed the Soul Stone to Rainon. Rui Nong excitedly took the long-awaited soul stone, squeezed it tightly with a trembling hand, and suddenly felt that the hard work and hardships he had gone through before were so worth it.

"Cherish it, keep it, collect all seven soul stones, and find the artifact to gain true knowledge, you are my successor, and the future of Stamoko depends on you. ”

Excited, Renon immediately took out the space ring and planned to put the soul stone in it, but Renon found that his space bag was out of order.

"Hahaha!" Conrad laughed at the embarrassment of Ronon and said, "Have you forgotten? I said this is my memory. That means you exist in my memory, how can you use your magic items?It seems that the Phantom Queen didn't say anything to you! I'll tell you something slowly! Come here, sit or lean on it. Hey, look at the scenery around me, it's all a virtual scene from my memory, but everything here is beautiful, isn't it?"

"I've been to the Phantom Palace, and it's about the same as yours, but it's much more dilapidated. ”

"Oh, yes? You can interpret me as a typical case of time beautifying memory. Conrad smiled and said, "Once upon a time, I became friends with Prisla, the Phantom Queen as you call it. The Phantom Palace is one of the few places in the Continent that the Holy See's claws can't touch, so I've set up a teleportation circle here, and once I am defeated, my soul stone will be teleported here. ”

"Then you're going to ask the lost wandering poet to help you hide the Soul Stone Shadow in all corners of the world?"

"Yes, it's the so-called three holes of cunning rabbits. With the power of the Creation God, he must know that I have not been completely destroyed, so sooner or later the Holy See will have its eyes on the ...... of the Phantom Palace," suddenly he lowered his head and Rynon's eyes stared for a moment and said, "It was then that I had another question. ”

"What's the problem?"

"How can I give the soul stone to a qualified inheritor? If it is not you who finds the soul stone, but someone else who has nothing to do with it, then all my efforts are not in vain? So I asked Prisra to lift the ban on the Phantom Palace every certain time to attract outsiders to enter, and at the same time send a large number of undead guards inside the Phantom Palace to test the strength of outsiders, so that they can enter the Phantom Palace and survive the attack of the undead. ”

Listening to Conrad's words, Renon remembered the previous experience when he and Nightmare almost lost their lives, and he asked in a deep voice, "Did you also arrange the three terrifying undead creatures of the Corpse Witch King, the Dark Knight, and the Bone Dragon?"

"Yes. ”

"It's really a strict deletion!" Rui Nong said angrily, "How many people in the world can fight against these three monsters at the same time?"

"There aren't many, really, but as long as you're a member of the Starmoko family, you're fine. ”

"You know what, I almost died there!"

"Handicap...... But forgive me for being so demanding, for the Soul Stone cannot be handed over casually. But then the question arises again? The strength is passed, and the people of the Starmoko family can only prove that he is eligible for the soul stone, but how do I know that he really needs the soul stone?"

"Is that the magic array?" Rynon asked after a moment's thought.

"You're half right. Conrad smiled and said, "There's one more thing you might be used to." ”

"Something you take for granted?"

"You should know that there is one thing about the Tao that will always talk to you at critical times and guide you on the way forward. ”

Renon thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "That trembling voice, claiming to be the will of the Starmoko family, the soul of the remnants of the black blood. ”

"You call him a trembling voice! Hahahaha, what a fitting title! Actually, that's one of my back-ups. On the day before the battle, I used the power of Satan to unleash the Eternal Curse on the entire continent of Middle-earth, causing all members of the Starmoko family to bear the spirit of Starmoko. It was a curse-like magic, and all the members of the Starmoko family were destined from the day they were born. ”

"Guided by you on the path of opposing the Holy See and exposing the creation lies of the Creation God?"

"Yes. ”

"I don't need to say it, I'll do the same. The fire of revenge burned in Rinon's resolute eyes.

Conrad looked at Renon with great admiration and said, "That's why you have been approved by the soul of Starmoko, so you can follow the guidance of the soul of Starmoko to enter my soul stone realm through the magic array." ”

"Enter the world of the Soul Stone...... You mean I'm just a soul now. ”

"Exactly. I also have to say sorry to you here, just in case I can only let your soul in. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to summon a powerful inheritor soul into the soul stone, so I have to wait for him to come in by himself. ”

Ruinon frowned in confusion and said, "Come in by yourself?" do you mean I'm ...... now."

"It is already on the verge of death, so that the soul can easily leave the body and directly enter the soul stone at the core of the magic array. Conrad patted Rainon on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, your life will never be in danger, and you will be a blessing in disguise." ”

"What else is a blessing in disguise? is it also called a blessing in disguise when they are dying?" said Ruinon dissatisfied.

"Doesn't the spirit of Stamoko guide you through a small cavern, and don't open your eyes and use magic so you don't perceive danger. Because part of the rock in that narrow passage was smeared with poison......"

“...... Is that a blessing in disguise?"

"Sharp rocks will separate your flesh and skin, and poison will make you bleed. Now it's time to go back and receive the purest black blood of the Starmoko family!" As Conrad's words fell, Rainon felt a powerful attraction coming from above his head, carrying him off the ground.

"Wait, I have another question, what exactly is the artifact in your and the Phantom Empress's mouths?"

"When you have collected all seven soul stones, the mystery will be revealed. Conrad stretched out his hand to Renon and said, "After passing the test and accepting the baptism of the black bloodline, you are my successor, and in the future, as long as you use the power of the black bloodline, you can directly obtain the soul stone through the magic array." With that, he took out a blade and cut a wound on his finger, and a strange black drop of blood seeped out of the wound, and the blood fell and penetrated the ground......

The dim palace of phantoms dissipated without a trace, and he found himself floating on top of a huge cavern, large as far as the eye could see, and at the center of the cavern was a large underground lake.

The blood beads slowly fell, as if they had been released from the flotation technique, and it quietly fell into the lake, dyeing the deep blue water black.

"What's that?" Rainon suddenly noticed that a small glowing dot on the shore not far away was slowly approaching him, and as he got closer, he realized that the glowing was a person...... It was himself, supported by an invisible force.

"Is this my body?" Rinon asked himself, confused.

The thin body slowly floated to the surface of the lake, and the mirror-like water of the lake rippled, and then began to bubble and boil. The fluorescence disappeared, and Ruinon's body fell into the water with a "poof", and then Ruinon felt a powerful suction force pulling him into the water again......

"Gollum ......" was dark in front of him, his ears were filled with the sound of the lake rolling and bubbling, and in the confusion, Ruinon heard the trembling voice in a daze: "...... The ceremony begins ......"
