"It seems that I guessed correctly. It is really the Heart of the Ancient Tree." Ryan sighed and said, "It seems that it is very difficult for it to appear, right?"
"More than that." Allendo's expression was obviously a little excited. He said to Ryan: "Do you know how many years it will take for our Druid tribe to have a great Druid? Do you know about the forbidden life? Is there a price to pay for Oasis?”
"Sunrise City." Ryan asked,
"Yes, in that battle, the Druid tribe lost three great druids. Even so, it only formed a huge tree of life in the end."
After hearing Allen Duo's few words, Ryan couldn't help but feel moved: "It is indeed very rare. I can only identify it, but I don't know its specific origin is so painful."
"Maybe I can find out that it is the result of the self-sacrifice of those great druids, but now what are you going to do with it." Alando quickly adjusted his gaffe, after all, everything here is full of unknowns , he must remain calm at all times to cope with various emergencies,
"Since this is a relic of the Druid elders, it should be exchanged for the Druid tribe." Ryan responded to Allendo's words without hesitation. He had no idea about such an important thing, but holding the heart of the ancient tree Sophie hesitated for a moment. She wanted to say a few words, but in the end she remained silent.
"Let's talk about this later, how to take her away now." Allendo pointed to the female shadow gently, and Ryan said to Faras outside the room: "Fanny, what good idea do you have."
"It's nothing more than two more practical ones." Faras walked in quickly. She controlled her field of vision and tried to avoid the dead mummies as much as possible. Then she said to Ryan: "Find a temporary container to put her soul first." Put it in, then take her away and think of other methods, or you can directly sign a soul contract with her, which will save countless troubles."
"The second one is not so good." Ryan heard the word soul contract again, and he said hesitantly,
"It depends on what you and her choose, but I have to remind you that the former is only a temporary means. Even if you take away her soul, you still have to find other ways to place it, otherwise there will still be problems. The latter is indeed a A good way, her soul does not need to devour other creatures to maintain its survival like necromancy, because you will provide her with your own mana. This is a very heavy price for other magicians, but you on the contrary."
"There is no other way." Of course Ryan also knows the benefits of the soul contract. He provides his own mana to the other party for consumption, but the other party must unconditionally obey his master. This is completely harmless to Ryan. It's just that he really doesn't want to increase the number of soul contracts for himself. Vivian and Adela are already enough to give him a headache.
"If you sign a soul contract, will it affect your life?" The female shadow suddenly spoke,
"This..." As soon as Ryan opened his mouth, Faras rushed to say: "Don't worry, he is not the kind of bad guy who bullies others. You don't have to worry about this. As for after the contract is signed, the master will naturally provide you with A shelter. If he is not strong enough, this shelter may be a magic container. When he is strong enough to open up his own space, then you can live in his exclusive magic tower and be his housekeeper. This seems to be similar to what you did before."
"It seems... you seem to want me to choose the second option." The female shadow stared deeply at Faras,
Farasi's eyes directly met the other person's gaze, and she said: "Yes, although my power temporarily exceeds his, there are some reasons for this. In fact, I believe that among us, Among them, Ryan was definitely the first to take that step.”
"Which step, you mean... the legendary field." The female shadow obviously knew a lot about the legendary field. She first looked at Ryan, then looked at Faras, and asked in a confused tone: "No matter how you look at it, it's all you. The power far exceeds his, and it seems that even he is." After the female shadow said this, she pointed at Alando next to her, and then continued: "It is also much more than that, why."
"I have confidence in him. In fact, all of us have confidence in him." Faras's face was filled with confidence. She glanced at Ryan slightly shyly, then raised her head and said, "I am not because I am him." His wife supports him and trusts him. I believe in him unconditionally because I am his teammate. Because he is our captain. From the first day we met, he has led us to complete one task after another. Incredible mission.”
"Listening to what you said, I'm looking forward to it too." The female shadow nodded, then turned to look at Ryan: "Can you let me join, future master?"
"Since you chose the soul contract, I will naturally treat you as a teammate." Ryan had already made up his mind when the female shadow was talking to Faras. Now that he saw the other party making a choice, he said: "Since the first day of my adventure, I have never abandoned my teammates. It has been this way before and will continue in the future. You are welcome to join... Well, I don't know your name yet."
"Emma, Angelina, just call me Emma." The female shadow said her name,
"Emma, that's a nice name." Faras took the initiative to say hello to the other party, which was regarded as accepting the joining of a new team member. Then she took advantage of her female advantage and introduced all six members of Ryan's group to the other party. After completing this step, Ryan started the entire soul contract ceremony.
Compared with Vivian and Adela, the soul contract between Ryan and Emma is much more difficult, because the latter has no entity, so if Ryan wants this contract to take effect, the price he has to pay will naturally be more. , but with Ryan's current strength, he didn't care about this level of wear and tear at all. He didn't even make too many preparations, and recited the incantation of the soul contract ceremony in the surprised eyes of the female shadow Emma,
When Ryan's finger tapped Emma's forehead, Emma, who was originally just a faint shadow, suddenly emitted a faint light, and Emma herself felt a huge energy emanating from Ryan. Slowly being absorbed into her void body, Emma, who had been dry for 200 years, greedily absorbed this mana like a thirsty traveler encountering a sweet stream.
Under the guidance of Faras, Emma slowly used the magic power absorbed from Ryan to strengthen her soul. This was originally the secret method of the necromancer. The purpose of absorbing the life essence and soul of others like Susan was for this, but With the support of Ryan's mana, which is as vast as the starry sky, after Emma completed the entire ritual to strengthen her soul, she did not find any signs of mana failure in her master. This also gave Emma a new understanding of Farasi's previous words. understanding,
After completing the entire ritual, Emma can float freely, but unfortunately, she cannot leave Ryan's side. Once she leaves Ryan more than 10 meters, the channel for her to absorb mana from Ryan will stop on its own, which will make Emma's soul quickly dried up due to lack of energy, and eventually dissipated, so Emma naturally followed Ryan closely, which made the thief Sophie rarely complain.
Not only that, but thanks to Emma’s guide who is very familiar with the entire Temple of Apocalypse, Ryan and his group of seven people no longer need Sophie to continue their search. Emma takes everyone directly to the room of the high priest of the temple. On the way, she also met many Templars who had not yet rested in peace. Emma was very sad that her former companions had turned into such immortal monsters, but she still begged Ryan and others to let them rest in peace forever.
"This is one of the temple's storage rooms." Emma pointed to a thick door and said, "I don't know if I can still open it with a spell now."
After Emma finished speaking, she recited a series of spells, and the thick wall-like door slowly opened with a creaking sound. When everything in the storage room appeared in front of Ryan and his party, except for Emma and everyone else were shocked,
Yes, this is a huge storage room. Ryan estimates that it can hold at least 1,000 people. However, this kind of space is not enough to shock Ryan and the others. What really makes Ryan and the others stunned is that they are neatly stacked together. A large number of mithril ingots,
"This is the Mithril warehouse. Each Mithril block is smelted to a standard weight and stored here. Now there is only a small half of the warehouse left, probably..." Emma tilted her head and calculated, and continued to speak. : "It's only enough for 5,000 people. This is already the minimum reserve. In fact, if it weren't for the undead army, the temple might have added some more."
"How is it possible? 5,000 people..." Sophie cried out.
"Yeah, it's indeed a little missing." Emma's expression showed a kind of regret.
Faras had seen the storage warehouse in the imperial capital, so she was still somewhat resistant to the large number of mithril ingots that appeared in front of her. She did the math and suddenly remembered something, so she asked: "Emma, these 5,000 people you are talking about The amount used should not be used to make full-body armor."
"Yes, we templars used to wear mithril full-body armor. Anyway, it's very light, so it won't be a problem."
"Huh." Ryan and Faras exhaled at the same time after listening to Emma's words, because their previous calculations were wrong. In fact, how could ordinary warriors be so luxurious as to wear mithril full-body armor, and be able to use mithril to Strengthening the key parts of the armor is already good. If it is equipped according to the way Ryan gave Cassano's warriors before, this can create 5,000 sets of mithril armor and mithril ingots, which may be enough to support 2 Jonas Legions. Line-up, that is, about 120,000 to 130,000 people,
"I can't wait." Ryan said to Faras,
"Me too." Farasi said the same thing,
"Then, how do we move away? There are so many..." Sophie spoke,
"I remember Ryan you brought a lot of storage pockets." Faras continued,
"I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore. Don't forget the body of the Hydra." Ryan said with a wry smile: "Sometimes it is a kind of distress to harvest too much."
