It seems that there is only one choice.
Either cleanse your soul or get things back on track.
"If I change the rules set by Castle Black, what will be the consequences for me."
After a long time, the high priest shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Then let me ask you in another form, if I choose to change the selection location, what will happen to your family?"
The high priest still shook his head.
"Didn't you say that you are looking forward to change?"
High Priest: "Your arrival is a variable. The change in selection is also a variable. When the variables accumulate one by one, it may be impossible to open a page of change."
The high priest's tone made Angel think of a person—the prophecy apprentice who always wore a white bear doll costume, Hobson.
Since the high priest didn't know the consequences, Angel could only think for himself.
Weigh the pros and cons.
Let me talk about my own benefits first, which can purify the soul and make the soul more refined. This is indeed attractive to Angel, but in fact other methods can also purify the soul, such as using medicine.
What Angel is more concerned about is: purifying the soul, what effect can it have on the gravitational veins in my soul
At present, Angel cannot mobilize the gravity veins in the soul at all. Even if it is really mobilized, it will consume a lot of soul power, which he cannot bear at present.
If the soul is purified, the problem of the gravitational vein can be solved a little, even if the gravitational vein is extracted from the soul. Angel is also willing to fight for it.
Thinking of this, Angel asked: "You once said that the gray aura in my soul also needs a shower. So, if I choose to purify my soul, what effect will it have on the gray aura?"
The high priest was silent for a moment: "The gray breath in your soul is the condensation of the law, right?"
Angel nodded.
"Ordinary soul purification has no effect on the law context in your soul. But the secret treasure has always been nurtured in the soul source, and it has also been contaminated with a breath of the law of life, which should make the law context in your soul more clear and condensed. ."
Make the law context more clear and cohesive? If only this was the case, Angel felt that there were some tasteless ribs, and it would be a pity to abandon it.
As far as his "profit" is concerned, it seems to be normal at present.
Angel then tried to analyze from the "self-disadvantage".
When it comes to the drawbacks, Angel is actually not sure. Because he didn't know how much the people of Castle Black took this matter, and the high priest couldn't explain it clearly.
But it's not impossible to speculate from the side. For example, as long as you know the value of the soul orb, you can measure some signs.
Angel: "You guys have a big ceremony every year, that is to say, the main purpose of the arrival of the Holy Castle every year is actually for the soul beads refined from the secret treasure?"
The high priest nodded yes.
"Then what is the use of this soul bead?"
"Before Isabel-sama left, I heard her say that the soul orb is an extremely special and precious soul-type product, which can not only be used as an energy source to promote the growth of the soul source; it can even be absorbed directly to supplement the power of the soul. , and not be excluded.”
After a pause, the high priest suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Angel's chest: "The incomplete soul in your pocket can also be slowly filled by absorbing soul beads."
…
Broken soul? !
Angel moved extremely slowly, and took Toby preciously out of his chest pocket.
"You say, it's a broken soul?" Angel pointed to Toby, whose breathing was steady and all signs were normal, and said word by word.
The high priest didn't answer and asked, "Isn't it your familiar?"
Angel shook his head: "It's not my magic pet, it's my... best friend."
The high priest looked at Angel up and down, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "My dear friend, it seems that it is very important to you."
"Why do you say it is a broken soul?" Angel asked again.
High Priest: "Has it been in a coma for a long time?"
"More than a week."
"I can perceive its soul. This is a peculiar soul that is not inferior to yours. Huh... No, its soul is even more worthy of expectation than you." The high priest suddenly said: "No, no, it's obviously a bird. The shape of the bird, why can't I perceive the feeling of the soul of the bird, is this really something that exists in the world?"
Angel couldn't help but admire the high priest's words. Even just relying on the observation of the soul, it is almost necessary to analyze the origin of Toby.
Seeing that the high priest seemed to have a tendency to continue talking to himself, Angel quickly said: "You haven't said why it is a broken soul. Also, why is it comatose all the time? Isn't it advancing?"
"Promotion? Maybe it's okay. The reason why it has been in a coma is because its soul is confronting an anger." The high priest paused: "If he can overcome this anger, it may be regarded as Advance."
"However, as far as I can see, anger has invaded its soul and is slowly eating away at it. If it can't make up for this deficiency, it will soon become a puppet of anger."
The high priest talked a lot, but Angel was completely at a loss.
Is the soul confronting anger? If it is said that some alien soul is robbing Toby for body control, Angel can still accept it, but what the hell is anger
The high priest couldn't answer this either: "I don't know what that 'anger' represents, but it is indeed being swallowed up by a strong 'anger' emotion, and the soul has long been mutilated."
"Then how can he wake it up?" Angel put all his attention on Toby at this time, and all other trivial matters were thrown into the clouds.
"I said that as long as it can overcome anger, not only can it wake up, but it can also be promoted as you said. But it seems that its soul has been eaten away for a long time, and it has been damaged too much. If you want to overcome anger, It's hard."
Angel narrowed his eyes slightly, and his thoughts flew quickly.
"As long as you replenish your soul, you can overcome anger?"
High Priest: "To supplement the soul power, just give it the strength to overcome anger. Whether it can overcome in the end depends on itself."
"You said just now that the Soul Orb can make up for its incomplete soul."
The high priest nodded and seemed to see through Angel's thoughts: "I know what you want to say. Even if you choose not to change the selection location, the soul orb you get in the end will not be enough to repair its soul."
Angel remembered that the day before yesterday, Toby ran to the temple on the top of the mountain in his sleepwalking. At first, he thought that the source of the law was tempting it, but now he felt... Maybe Toby was just sending him a distress signal.
"There should be soul beads in the temple on the top of the mountain, right?"
The high priest's face showed surprise: "How do you know?"
Angel told the story of Toby's "sleepwalking" the day before yesterday, and the high priest suddenly said: "It seems that he is indeed sending a distress signal to you, but there is no soul bead on the top of the mountain, and the soul bead is placed in the center of the holy mountain. It stopped on the mountainside, probably because the mountainside is closest to the location of the Soul Orb."
"Give it to me, I can trade with you." Angel paused: "You can mention the price."
The high priest shook his head: "The soul orb inside the holy mountain was left by Lord Isabel, not only her photo, but also a trace of consciousness. It is very important to the Queen, let alone fetching it, just getting close to it will be destroyed by the Queen. Perceived."
"I can assure you that even if you tried to steal hundreds of thousands of soul orbs, you didn't take that one soul orb, making Her Lady Queen even more angry."
If what the high priest said was true, Angel believed it. With Isabella's crazy love affair with his teacher, he could do such a thing.
Even if there are thousands of soul orbs, they can't compare to the soul orbs that possess a trace of Isabel's consciousness.
Thousands of Soul Orbs
Angel suddenly thought of something: "Are you hinting at me just now to steal the soul orb from the Holy Castle?"
The high priest, the old god, shook his head: "No."
Angel didn't bother to fight for a moment's profit: "There are many soul orbs in the holy castle?"
"Lord Isabelle is a soul wizard, he needs a soul bead," the high priest said.
With just this sentence, Angel understood the meaning of the high priest. Although Isabelle has left the Southern Region, it does not mean that she is dead... According to Isabella's madness towards Isabelle, maybe she has not used a single soul orb in the past thousand years.
Angel looked at the soft lump in the palm of his hand, and a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes.
Toby is the only obsession he is unwilling and unwilling to let go of in the wizarding world.
Angel looked at the high priest: "Can the selection be postponed?"
The high priest nodded: "Yes, but it must be before the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Okay! Then it will be postponed to the night after tomorrow." After a pause, Angel looked at the high priest: "What does the soul bead look like? What are its characteristics?"
"Are you going to the Holy Fort?"
"Yes, I have to go." Shadow said, Castle Black currently does not have a wizard-level opponent, and Isabella is not in Castle Black, so this is an excellent opportunity.
He went, even if unsuccessful.
But he didn't go. If Toby was swallowed by anger, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.
The high priest pondered for a moment, and roughly described the appearance of the soul bead. Finally, before Angel left, he pointed to Toby: "If its self-rescue consciousness is still there, just follow it, maybe you can find the soul bead as soon as possible."
Angel nodded, and then he stretched out his hand to the high priest.
A nightmarish aura enveloped the high priest.
"Just in case, as long as you don't mention me, everything will be as usual. After three days, the effect will disappear." Angel said, turned around and walked back.
The high priest watched Angel walk away, lowered his head and sighed softly. When he came, he thought that this unexpected visitor would finally choose to purify his soul, because he understood the greed and profit-seeking nature of wizards. Therefore, he has already instructed the priests to prepare for the selection in the Centennial Hall.
Unexpectedly, there will be a big turning point at the end.
When the high priest sighed helplessly, Angel's voice suddenly came from the wind.
- "If I can successfully come back in three days. I owe you a debt."
