Xiao Chen never thought that the Seven Holy Towers were really the representatives of justice and the models of morality. But when he heard Demian say that the Spiritual Tower used to use a large number of ordinary people as materials for casting spells, he still thought he was talking nonsense. After all, in Tasia's eyes, the era of the Seven Holy Towers was an era of striving, cooperation, and fearlessness of the gods.
Magicians can make great sacrifices so that humans can escape the fate of being manipulated by the gods... Wait, sacrifice. Is this also part of the sacrifice
"You are also skeptical. Think about it, if people at that time didn't use this method, how could they have invented it and made it into such a powerful holy book? Equipped with a special magic circle
When I first got the "Soul Gathering List", there were many powerful souls recorded on it. But too much time has passed, and the souls of these powerful people have become silent, and none of them have survived. But from their related records, we can see their past strengthening process. Each powerful person devoured many weak souls. Compared with them, what I did today is really not worth mentioning. "
Xiao Chen said: "If that's the case, then at worst we won't need this holy book anymore."
"How ridiculous! Do you know how many lives could have been saved if a specialist like me had used the Spirit Gathering Register?" Demian shook his head and sighed. "It's ironic that I was defeated by a guy who knows nothing."
Although Luo Ling was still suffering from internal injuries, she could not help but retort, "You are the one who knows nothing. How the Seven Sacred Pagodas did things was a matter of their time. In this era, how things need to be done is our own business! We have our own moral standards, what can be done and what cannot be done. The ancients ate raw meat and drank blood. You inherited the same body as them. Do you also eat raw meat and drink blood? Even if the Seven Sacred Pagodas reappear in our hands one day, they will be seven new pagodas, completely different from the Seven Sacred Pagodas in ancient times."
"You are crazy and have no idea of the sacredness of the seven towers. You are desecrating them by doing this."
Luo Ling coughed several times and said, "It's ridiculous. No matter how sacred and great their significance is, have they defeated the God of Nature in the end? Since we didn't win, what's the point of following their path? Of course, we have to open up our own path. You said so much, but it's just to make excuses for yourself."
"Don't argue with him. Take care of yourself." Xiao Chen pointed his finger at the other person's head. "No matter what your motive is, you have done this and caused the deaths of so many people. You must pay the price."
"No, they are just ordinary people, and they are already dead. There is no benefit in killing me! I can serve you and make the Spirit Tower a vassal of the Dream Tower. I also have the inheritance of the Healer Tower..." Demian's words stopped abruptly because Xiao Chen's magic pierced his head. Xiao Chen was about to release a soul reading magic again to get some information from Demian's soul, but was stopped by Luo Ling.
"Have you forgotten what the new holy book is for?" Luo Ling asked.
"You want me to record his soul into the Soul Gathering Book?" Xiao Chen asked in surprise, "I thought you wanted me to seal the book."
"I think this is the most suitable ending for him." Luo Ling sighed, "As for why this holy book was sealed up? In such a chaotic world, are you still afraid that there are no dead souls to use? Why do you need to direct such a tragedy yourself?"
Xiao Chen took out the "Spirit Gathering Book". They had not yet carefully read this holy book.
When he opened the holy book and saw the title page, a piece of information was automatically sent to Xiao Chen's mind, which described how to operate this holy book. As long as he used his mental power to activate a magic circle under the title page, the holy book would absorb the surrounding dead souls.
However, the soul-absorbing operation usually needs to be performed within ten minutes of the death of the deceased. As time passes, the quality of the soul will become worse and worse. If it exceeds ten minutes, the general soul will be weakened to the point where it cannot be used. The soul of a strong person can naturally last longer, but time will also cause a great loss of strength.
Xiao Chen did not dare to delay and immediately started to follow the instructions.
A claw-shaped purple smoke rose from the magic circle of "Spirit Gathering Book", circled around Demian's head, dragged out a ball of light from it, and then returned to the book.
The pages of the book began to turn by themselves until they reached a blank page at the back, and then Demian's portrait slowly appeared on the page.
A few lines of text appeared below his portrait. Xiao Chen saw that the Holy Scripture had actually understood the basic situation of his soul in just a short moment.
Demian
Status: Damaged, cannot be summoned
Occupation: Ghost Mage
Realm: High
Areas of expertise: Undead/Spirit/Healing
Although there is no quantitative data, it can already reflect the specialties of a soul. Xiao Chen flipped the book forward and found seven or eight souls from ordinary people. They must be the souls with better qualifications among the dead just now. The holy book added the power of other souls and shaped them into low-level ghost warriors. Their status is: growing, cannot be summoned.
Flipping forward, he saw the two guards that had been recruited by Demian before. They were evaluated as high-level ghost warriors, skilled in swordsmanship and knife skills respectively. One of them was injured and the other was normal.
Before the two of them, there were dozens of pages in the book occupied by various souls, but the status of these souls was: extinction. However, from the attribute text below, we can still see how powerful these souls were at that time, "Two Saint-level souls, fifteen Master-level souls, and the rest are high-level. Demian is right, there are indeed many powerful souls."
Xiao Chen tried to summon a master-level ghost archer. Immediately, a line of words appeared on the page belonging to this soul: "Summoning failed, the soul has died." Then all the descriptions about this soul faded, leaving only a blank page.
"There should be no hope for these souls. You can try the warrior we collected today." Luo Ling said.
Xiao Chen turned to the page about the warrior, and summoned the warrior in good condition.
The summoned warrior looked the same as when he was alive, except that his body was transparent and his expression was dull. He stood motionless in front of Xiao Chen, obviously without any independent consciousness. However, Xiao Chen could give him orders through the "Spirit Gathering List" or special control spells.
Under Xiao Chen's command, he entered his original body, and then the fallen warrior stood up again. Xiao Chen could not give him too detailed orders, but he could command him to move forward and backward, and also wield a set of sword techniques with a long sword.
When Xiao Chen issued the order to return, the ghost quickly returned to the holy book, and its status changed to: exhausted and unsummonable. The soldier's body fell to the ground again.
"It's a very powerful holy book. If you're on a battlefield with corpses everywhere, you can use this holy book to raise an army of undead warriors in an instant." Luo Ling commented.
Xiao Chen closed the "Spirit Gathering Book" and threw it into the space bag. "It may be powerful, but it is not suitable for my path. When a suitable successor appears in the school, I will give this holy book to him."
