Chapter 202: What Are You Waiting For?
"Soul Sucking"
If Heine remembers correctly, it was called that.
Thanks to Squidward's tireless efforts, he gradually gained insight into its structure.
Heine's current psychic skills are more like invocations.
Just let Yuan Ling "help me" and it's over.
And this skill is closer to "spells".
Even the concept of "necromancy".
It does not require any supplication or communication, but instead makes direct use of the silvery substance that Heine named as the element.
The primordial spirit is a living thing, but the primordial material is dead.
But in this way, new problems arise.
The previous two plugins did not interact with the environment in any way, and only consumed the player's own mental energy.
That is, the silver soul essence that makes up the soul fireβsomething that needs to be replenished by sleeping.
And soul sucking obviously requires the participation of the elements in the environment.
This is obviously not suitable for all environments.
When Heine's primordial spirit affinity is raised, he can see the silver fragments of light that are widely distributed in the mountains under the eyes of the dead.
Although the density is far less than that of a fish pond, it is still enough for the player's daily "rest consumption".
Here's an example.
The fish pond is fast charging, and sleeping in one afternoon can top five days.
Outside of the fish ponds, such as Luye Town, Rock Town, and the areas where these towns expand outward, they need to work during the day and sleep at night.
This lasted for more than a month, and I still needed to go back to the fish pond to rest.
As for the farther away, there was almost no source material, and the air was instead scattered with embers like volcanic ash.
The stronghold between Greenleaf Town and Blighted Traces is basically the line.
The mist, like the Withered Scars, was all made up by Quirkus.
The player's purpose is to go far away, not to mention whether the items made by printing soul sucking can be used in those places......
Even if it can be used, if there is not enough yuan material to replenish the soul quality after pulling out the soul fire, it is equivalent to not sleeping.
Isn't this suicide?
"Therefore, the ultimate form of the sleeping bag also needs to store a certain amount of raw materials.
"It's not just a sleeping bag, it's just a power bank......
"And it is also a power bank with its own power supply, since it is guaranteed to be able to open the sleeping bag, it is also necessary to ensure the quality of sleep.
"That's too cumbersome, isn't it?"
Heine couldn't help but think.
He immediately thought of Wood Teardrop.
This thing can indeed store raw materials, but there are only two of them in this bottle, and one is still on Gray Moon......
Just as he was worried, he heard Sabellia shouting to the sky.
"I want to talk to you."
Heine was stunned for a moment, and said to himself, is this guy finally thinking about it?
So he asked:
"What do you want to talk about?"
Sabellia looked at Squidward, who was being pinched and rubbed in Nobita's hands.
Not to be outdone, the latter sucked Nobita's face with his soul.
Neither of them can help the other.
"It's a strange beast, isn't it?" He said, "Ordinary Rayesapo souls don't know this kind of spell. β
Heine was shocked: "Have you dealt with strange beasts?" β
"Huh...... In my 1,600 years of life, I have been to many places and seen many landscapes. β
Tsk, 1,600 years.
Heine fell forward, almost as soon as the Silver Elf returned to the Valley of Mourning and the Sighing Wind Family was bloodily liquidated.
Then came the pioneering era of the elves.
No wonder he was a hero of the elves, who happened to grow up in that turbulent era.
However, this also reflects a fact from the side.
The elves' long lives are diluted, as Old Man Barry says.
"Did you spend most of your time on the road?" Heine couldn't help but ask.
Ignoring the teasing in his words, Sabellia continued:
"When I was younger, I ventured into some crevasse-ridden northern ruin, and in retrospect it was clearly a terrible place.
"Most of the adventurers who go there are driven mad by the vision, or they fall into a deep dream and never wake up, and when they die, strange purple creatures crawl out of the corpses.
These things are called strange beasts.
"They are not strong, but they are very weird, no matter what they look like, they have the power to hit the soul directly, and they will be hit if they are not careful.
"At that time, mages had very little research in soulology, and relied mainly on the warlocks of the Shadow Temple. Most of the scrolls and items involving souls require the use of strange beast materials, so they are expensive.
"And I, with the bow of whispering and sighing, and accustomed to the never-ending sound of the wind, can ignore the so-called demagogic whispers.
"So, I've been dealing with strange beasts for a long time."
At this point, he stopped.
It was like waiting for Heine to speak.
After a short wait.
"And then?"
Heine asked him, "I'm waiting for the following, what are you waiting for?" β
Sabellia was stunned.
ββ¦β¦ Didn't the Void Calamity come? β
Well?
Heine was surprised.
How do he know this?
But he remained silent.
The silence finally gave Sabellia a hint of unconfidence.
"I... I thought the Void Catastrophe had finally broken out, and you were fighting strange beasts, and maybe you needed some guidance on combat experience......"
Silent.
The embarrassment is suffocating.
ββ¦β¦ So didn't the catastrophe break out? β
"Yes."
"What about this strange beast......"
"My skeleton went out to let the wind and came back with my hand."
ββ¦β¦β
Sabellia was autistic.
He stood in a daze for a few seconds, and walked to the hut that Nobita had given him.
Heine suddenly said, "Have you also heard the prophecy of the strange beast?" β
Sabellia was stunned: "Yes, they say that the sins of the void are accumulating, and that disasters will inevitably break out in the future...... Have you heard of it too? β
"Yes, and the current saying is 'sin is almost full', I think in the form of strange beasts, there is no need to lie, so the catastrophe may really be near."
ββ¦β¦ How did your skeleton resist the beasts? β
Resist?
They have a backboard, and when they go up, they will spell a spell to wash the floor, and then play a play......
Heine: "I don't know. If it weren't for the loot they brought to me, I wouldn't even know there was such a thing. β
Although he has a funny component, it is also true.
And after saying that, Heine realized that this was about to become an idle game.
Wait, wasn't it before?
How long has it been since I've rubbed a bone spear?
When you think about it, it's really ...... Laziness......
So, both fell silent.
But Sabellia apparently misunderstood again.
He finally reconciled with himself, wanting to play some role, but he didn't want to say something useless.
The self-esteem of the jungle wind looms.
He asked, "Do you know the soul lantern?" β
"What's that?"
Sabellia hurriedly explained, "A magic prop that can isolate the corrosion of the void and prevent the parasitism of strange beasts from penetrating.
"When we first ventured, most people only dared to fall asleep when the lantern was on...... Didn't your skeleton use it? β
"I'm afraid not."
ββ¦β¦β
"But I'm curious about this, can you tell us more?" Heine asked.
"No, no problem."
Sabellia breathed a sigh of relief.
"You've seen a spotlight, right? I'm pretty sure it's what remains of the soul lantern after the core is removed. β
Heine was slightly stunned: "Isn't the charging stone an invention hundreds of years ago?" β
"Yes, but the Soul Lantern didn't need a Charging Stone in the first place."
"And what does it depend on?"
"Mental power. Mages and warriors have the best mental power, only the light they release when they activate the lantern is a non-variegated silver white, and other professions contaminated with energy will greatly reduce the effect. β
Heine asked, "Do you know how to make a soul lantern?" β
Sabellia hesitated for a few seconds.
Then the idea of bargaining was quickly dispelled.
"I will, I can draw you drawings, you can summon me out."
"Okay."
Heine couldn't help but be a little excited.
The genie finally let go.
Or rather, he reconciled with himself.
So, he also said the sentence that Sabellia wanted to hear the most.
"But before I do, I'll talk to you about the Scars of Wither, and about Querkus."
Sabellia was stunned, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay."
