Angel took a deep look at the high priest, "Why do you think I would be interested in the 'soul source' you mentioned?"
The high priest raised his head and stared blankly at Angel.
Looking at the gray eyes without any luster, Angel always felt that perhaps the high priest in front of him was not looking at him, but looking at something else through his body.
"Your soul is very special. It's like a gem that has just been unearthed and has not been polished." The high priest spoke slowly, but every syllable seemed to have a power that touched the heart: "Even if it is not polished and carved, But your soul is still beautiful, and if Lady Isabelle is here, she will be moved for you."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Angel didn't like this kind of conversation with me, but there was no information.
"What I want to say is, don't you want to make your soul more refined? The gray aura hidden in the depths of your soul also needs to experience a rain, doesn't it?" The high priest said lightly.
Angel was silent, not only because the high priest had stated his purpose; at the same time, he was also surprised, how this person who obviously only had a mortal body discovered the...gray breath in his soul
You must know that when Nice wanted to find the gray breath, he also made a whole plan, and finally used a spectrometer, and it took a long time to find the clue. This mortal old man, today they officially met for the first time, and the other party could see the gravity veins hidden in his soul at a glance? This shocked him.
"How did you know that there is a gray aura in my soul, did Soul Source tell you?" Angel asked calmly.
The high priest shook his head: "Although my eyes cannot see people, they can see souls clearly."
Angel sneered, if he could perceive the gravity veins if he could see the soul, why did Nice bother so much? Clearly the high priest was not telling the truth.
However, there is no friendship between him and the high priest, and it is not an exaggeration to hide from each other.
"As you said, I really want to purify my soul. But I came to Xipollock not to purify my soul, but to help my companions." Angel said, "Of course, if I can make the soul change To be more refined, this is a pleasant surprise.”
Angel deliberately referred to "purifying the soul" as "unexpected joy", but he took the identity of a wizard and deliberately lowered the bargaining chip.
"If I want this unexpected blessing, what price do you need me to pay?"
At this time, the high priest shook his head with a light smile: "There is no price."
If you want to promote, you should suppress it, if you want to take it, you will give it first. Angel didn't believe that there was a free lunch in the world, so when the high priest said "there is no price", Angel was more alert than before. Because, sometimes there is no price, but more will be paid.
"Can the soul be purified without a price? There are such good things in the world." Angel's face was full of disbelief.
High Priest: "I think Your Excellency has misunderstood. I said there is no price because Your Excellency has already paid the price."
I have paid the price
"When you chose to modify the selection location, you have already paid the price."
"What's the meaning of this?"
"Because, the selection of the sky choir is actually to purify the soul."
…
"If Your Excellency has something to ask me, you can go to Wanhun Lake nearby. I will be there until the evening selection." The high priest left this sentence and said goodbye.
After he left, Angel fell into silence.
At first, he followed the shadow to the clan of Kura Kuka, just to take a chance.
Now that the opportunity came, he was a little timid.
The reason for his cowardice was the fear of offending Castle Black. Although attacking Fiona was a little offended, after all, Fiona was just an apprentice, and they didn't really hurt Fiona. Besides, there was still shadow mediating, so Angel didn't worry much.
Therefore, the attack on Fiona can be temporarily revealed. But if he's going to change where the Sky Choir is selected, it means he's going to change the rules Isabel made thousands of years ago.
The high priest's words already made it clear that as long as he continued his decision and changed the selection site to the Centennial Hall, he would have the opportunity to purify his soul.
But if he really chooses like this, the subsequent variables are somewhat unpredictable.
Will this move really offend Castle Black
But now with the opportunity in front of him, it is difficult for him to give up.
Angel thought for a long time, but decided to go to Wanhun Lake first. He had thought about purifying his soul earlier, but he didn't ask about many things carefully. He always felt that this high priest hid too many secrets. Now he needs to synthesize more information to assist him in making a choice.
Wanhun Lake is near the Centennial Hall.
When Angel arrived, the high priest stood by the lake, staring at the lake in a daze.
"Actually, you don't need to tell me, just let the selection take place in the Centennial Hall, and I don't have to struggle with the choice." Angel said.
The high priest smiled lightly: "Whether it's Your Excellency or the Holy Castle, I can't offend you."
"You can actually tell the Holy Fort, and you're not afraid to offend me. But you didn't do it because you also wanted to try to change the anxious status quo."
The high priest remained silent.
"Why choose the sky choir to purify the soul?" Angel asked the doubts in his heart.
The high priest paused for a while, then turned to Angel and said, "Do you know the name of this small world?"
"The magic garden of the soul system."
The high priest did not say yes or no. It's just that his eyes are a little empty, and he seems to be recalling the past: "A long time ago, I served Lord Isabelle, and she once told me that this place is actually called... The Garden of Living Souls."
Soul Garden? Angel was recalling whether he had heard of the Garden of Living Souls before. But he suddenly remembered what the high priest had just said, and he raised his head sharply. With a look of surprise, he asked, "Who did you just say you served?"
"Lord Isabelle."
"It is rumored that Your Excellency Isabel left the wizarding world a thousand years ago? Could it be that Your Excellency Isabel did not leave?" Angel said in surprise.
A bitter smile appeared on the high priest's face: "No, Lord Isabel left a thousand years ago."
"Then what do you mean..." Dodolo flashed in Angel's mind, "Don't tell me, you have lived for a thousand years?"
The high priest neither shook his head nor nodded, but said in a helpless tone: "Since I bear the name of the high priest, I have lived in a different body for thousands of years. If the body dies, I will replace it with another body. Therefore, the living , but a soul with memories."
"Under special circumstances, the soul may not dissipate. But it is not an easy thing to use a corpse to resurrect." Angel said.
"I'm not resurrecting a soul from a corpse. I was refined into the soul source by Lord Isabelle a thousand years ago. The central principle of the entire Garden of Living Souls is the source of the soul. So the master of the source of soul, Lord Isabelle, doesn't want me to die, so I will It is impossible to die. My soul will never fall, even if the body disappears, it will continue to reincarnate in this world." The high priest paused: "This is also a kind of eternal life, but the premise is that I cannot leave the living soul. garden."
Angel came to some realization. Although this kind of immortality has a slanted edge, it can only be achieved in the soul-based witchcraft garden...
"I just mentioned the Garden of Living Soul. I think Your Excellency should know that different witchcraft gardens have different laws. The effect of the Garden of Living Soul is to ensure the absolute integrity of the soul."
Surprise flashed in Angel's eyes.
When he saw the old lady die on the corner of West Pollock Street, he found that the old lady's soul was very complete, and he didn't realize it at the time; now, after listening to the high priest, he suddenly recalled the records he had read in the book. .
Only after the superhuman dies can an absolutely complete soul appear. After a mortal dies, generally only some ignorant light spots or soul fragments will appear. Only mortals with strong obsessions or naturally high mental strength values have a very low chance of keeping their souls intact. That old lady has neither obsession nor high mental strength, how can he have a complete soul!
Obviously it is the effect of the Garden of Living Souls!
what does that mean? For wizards of the soul system, this place is simply a paradise for research!
Moreover, the consumption of the soul has actually been high. Not only the soul system, but also the alchemy puppets of gold and stone science, the evil spirit potions of pharmacy, and even the application of magic techniques, all need a complete soul.
While Angel was still surprised, the high priest continued: "With the characteristics of the Garden of Living Souls, the souls of our family can be guaranteed to be complete after death."
"But Lord Isabel, what you need is not a mortal soul full of impurities. Therefore, Lord Isabel put a secret treasure in the soul source. As long as the soul has accumulated to a certain level, it can be opened through a specific process and scale. Remove the impurities from the soul one by one."
"The particular scale you're talking about..."
"It's The Fairy Epic."
Angel frowned: "Anyone can sing, why choose?"
"Not everyone's singing can activate that mysterious treasure." The high priest paused: "Bloodline is the key. Our bloodline was transformed by Isabel thousands of years ago. Among our descendants, there are only a small number of women. Possess the bloodline that can activate the secret treasure. Therefore, we can only rely on selection to find the singer who can activate the mysterious treasure."
Hearing this, Angel understood a little bit.
Purifying the soul is not the ability of the Garden of Living Souls, but the ability of a secret treasure.
"But does it have any necessary connection with me changing the selection location?"
The high priest shook his head: "The location of the original selection was near the festival, where the other half of the treasure was buried. When the treasures are combined, it is not to purify the soul, but to remove all impurities in the soul, including emotions and memories. ... In the end, all the souls who died in the Garden of Living Souls this year will be transformed into the purest energy body under the action of the secret treasure. This energy body is called the Soul Orb."
In other words, as long as he changed the location, the soul orb would not be able to appear again. Is this the price he has to pay for choosing to purify his soul
Angel thought for a moment and asked, "If I purify the soul first, and then send it back to the ceremony, let it merge with the other half of the secret treasure, is that okay?"
The high priest shook his head: "No, every time the secret treasure is opened, there will be a buffer of 300 days and nights, and it is impossible to use it a second time in a short period of time."
