Chapter 175 Soul Blader
Brian cast a simple cleaning spell to remove the lingering scent from his body when he just soaked in the hot spring.
He will go to Blingden Stone City of the Underdark next. If the smell on his body is too strong, in the twists and turns of the caves in the Underdark, the enemy can follow the smell from several miles away. .
Although he is not afraid of most monsters in the Underdark due to his strength, he encounters too many and it is very annoying to clean them up.
When he came to the back garden of the temple, he found that Helist had been waiting for a long time, and his spiritual crystal servant was stepping on the astral construct flying sword he made, happily walking Flying around in the sky.
Brian was stunned, and suddenly understood that Heliste had used a special method to help his spiritual crystal servant successfully change his profession into a soul blader.
He quickened his pace and walked over.
“Master, did you see how handsome I looked just now?” The Spiritual Crystal Servant stepped on the flying sword and came to him, crossed his arms and said proudly, “Now I can be considered a Meow Immortal. "
The tower spirit of the Mage Tower in Arabe City also calls himself Immortal Meow. Brian can't help but maliciously wonder what kind of chemical reaction will occur if these two little guys meet together.
"From today on, I will not let the master walk behind me, because I never lead the way, nor will I let the master walk in front of me, because I may not follow." The spirit crystal servant wielding the flying sword announced to him with a voice similar to the collision of crystals, "So, master, please walk by my side and be my friend."
Brian frowned and looked at Helist, who had just turned around, "Did it have a broken brain?"
"Are you kidding me? I look like I have a broken brain." Looks like this?" The spiritual crystal servant was not happy and shouted dissatisfied.
Noticing Brian's questioning gaze, Heliste stretched out a slender finger and tapped the noisy Psychic Crystal Servant, and it suddenly became quiet.
She checked it carefully, looked at Brian with a strange look, and said to him, "There is no problem. The psicrystal servant's character is copied from the owner's personality fragments, so its owner can always copy it from They see a part of themselves that is exaggerated and distorted.”
Herister’s explanation made Brian suddenly feel embarrassed.
Although her answer sounded impeccable, it made him understand another meaning, that is, if you think there is something wrong with the Spiritual Crystal Servant you made, it means there is something wrong with you too. After all, it is inherited from the owner. character.
"It's no problem." Brian agreed casually, looking at the psicrystal servant that was suppressed motionless by Helister's psychic field, and he began to check its attributes.
He was surprised to find that his spiritual crystal servant not only retained its own special abilities, but also gained the professional characteristics of a soul blader.
For example, the mind blade specialization that regards the astral construct flying sword as its natal weapon, the control of the mind blade that can kill enemies from a distance like a flying sword, the mental strike that instills destructive energy into the mind blade, And through mental energy, the mind blade can be instantly transformed into two more cloned mind blades.
Since the Spirit Crystal Servant's Soul Blader level is only level 5, it does not have the Soul Blader's ultimate move "Blade Storm".
"When a soul blader whose strength has reached the legendary level dies, they can use the secret method of spiritual energy to condense the power they mastered during their lifetime into a soul blade crystal."
Herister stretched out her hand to touch the soul blade. The crystal servant's unique three-dimensional shape explained to him, "If the memory remaining in the soul blade crystal can be cleared away, it can be injected into the spiritual crystal servant so that it can inherit the power of the soul blade."
"Then how can they improve their strength?" Brian asked subconsciously.
“Just like making astral constructs, allowing them to extract astral energy from the star realm can complete the improvement of their strength.” Helist said, “This can only be done by themselves. , cannot rely on the deep crystal of the material world."
Brian nodded thoughtfully, quickly brought up the attribute bar of the spiritual crystal servant, and pulled it to the bottom. As expected, he found that this little Guys can really level up through their own experience points.
It is a pity that all his experience points have been used to upgrade the Psion profession. Otherwise, he really wants to upgrade it to level 9 quickly.
After all, for the soul bladers, when they possess "Blade Storm", it can be regarded as a qualitative breakthrough.
"Are there any sequelae?" Brian calmed down and asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment.
“That’s not true.”
Herister shook her head slightly, straightened her expression, and said to Brian in a slightly serious tone, “But Zai is trying to put her mind When the warlock profession breaks through to the legendary realm, the difficulty of retrieving the stripped personality will become relatively difficult. After all, it absorbs the soul blade crystal of a legendary soul blader, and the personality will be somewhat different. A little affected.”
After hearing Helister's answer, Brian showed a worried expression.
The legendary realm is the most desirable existence for every professional, but it is also a gap that is difficult to cross.
This hurdle is like a Mathematical Olympiad problem. If you can’t solve it, you just can’t solve it. There is no skill at all.
Even among those long-lived races, some of the most amazing and talented ones have reached the fourth level of paragon early in their own strength, but most people are still stuck here, unable to make any progress throughout their lives.
Although their players have a monster-spawning upgrade system, the hurdle of legend cannot be broken through casually by accumulating experience.
"Don't worry." Helist comforted him in a soft tone, "I have rich experience in how to recover my stripped personality, and I will help you when the time comes."
Bu Ryan looked at her suspiciously and almost wanted to say: Don't you still have two that you haven't found yet?
"There's nothing to worry about. I'm still very confident in my abilities." Brian said nonchalantly.
He really doesn't care. As the saying goes, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. These are not what he should consider now.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he put away all the psicrystal servants and astral constructs, and said to Helist, "Let's go."
However, when he was about to turn around and leave, he found that Helister was standing motionless, looking at him carefully with her quiet eyes.
This made him immediately feel a little uncomfortable. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "Any more questions?"
"I was thinking about Fairy Shuizawa..." Helister was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you planning to take her back?"
"That's right." Brian nodded slightly and said truthfully, "I think you should also understand the characteristics of the Water Fairy. , I want to put her in the elemental pool of the Wizard Tower."
"The Water Fairy is a very rare natural spirit in the material world. It's a bit wasteful for you to do this." Herister looked at her strangely. He looked at him and said, "I do have a good proposal."
When Brian heard this, he guessed what Heliste was thinking in a flash of thought.
In fact, this novel idea came to him the first time he saw Fairy Shuizawa. However, he was not sure whether this method was really feasible, so he planned to take her back and treat her well. Do some research.
"You are asking me to give her the dormant divine power in my body, right." Although he had a rough guess, he still wanted to confirm it.
"So, you have had this idea." Helist looked at him in surprise, nodded and said:
"Yes, that's what I mean, if she lets her go In the element pool, let her natural attributes be completely transformed into elemental attributes, and then cultivate it into a quasi-divine power. Maybe we can really solve the problem of elemental energy consumption. In this case, maybe we can bring it with us through Fairy Shuizawa. Our world, escape from the sight of ancient evils.”
"Having said that, I'm afraid it's not easy to implement it." Brian looked deeply into her calm eyes, as if he wanted to see her true inner thoughts.
Actually, what he was worried about was not whether he could succeed, but that he was a little reluctant to part with the quasi-divine power that he had finally obtained.
After all, this is a power comparable to that of a true god. Although he also knows the shortcomings of god-like power, it is still a bit difficult to accept for a while that he just gives it away.
Herister seemed to have read through his thoughts. She took the initiative to walk to him. The two were only a few feet apart. Brian could even feel her breathing, steady and quiet.
"Brian, you need to know."
She said to him earnestly, "The ignorant measure God by human standards, and so they worship Him in the form of gods. The wise measure God by the measure of faith, and worship God by love or truth. The wise do not do it at all. Thinking about the true God, they know that the limited thinking ability of mortals will only be offensive to the infinite true God. They will say: Let the true God think about them, and that is enough."
Helist paused. , staring at Brian quietly, with long years of experience and wisdom contained in his beautiful eyes, as if he could read every thought in his heart and fully understand what he was thinking at the moment. She stretched out her cool fingers and brushed Brian's face, and said softly, "So, I never recommend that you obtain the power of a true god or a god-like person. When your vision becomes long-term enough, you will realize Come on, this is actually a road of no return.
During the Netheril Empire, why were so many great arcanists atheists and preferring to die from their injuries? , and do not accept magical treatment, is it really just because of arrogance? I think they may have discovered some truth in the Nese scroll."
"Actually, I know everything you said. "Don't worry, I will seriously consider your suggestion." Brian held her hand that slipped from his face and showed her a confident smile, and she responded to him with a light smile.
He did understand all the issues Helister mentioned. After all, his eyes were not as low-minded as he thought.
During the time when he obtained the quasi-divine power of natural attributes, he had clearly felt that he was being subtly influenced by this power, making him develop in the direction of a guardian of nature.
It was not until he came to the main material world and the divine power fell silent that he realized that this influence had disappeared.
Now that he has the opportunity to solve this hidden danger, it is naturally the best thing for him.
Thinking of this, he began to consider another issue.
If the Duchess makes a breakthrough in her research on the Black Stone Spire, then he might really be able to build a super-large elemental furnace based on it to serve as the driving force for the planet.
This reminded him subconsciously of a game called World of Warcraft, where the high elves exploded into the Well of Eternity.
If he really cultivates a transcendent god-like power, born only for the elemental pool, his future path will become wider and wider.
“Don’t worry, Brian.” Herister’s voice was like sweet music, “I will always accompany you.”
Brian came back to his senses and looked carefully He looked at her carefully, fascinated by her grace and beauty.
For a moment, he saw ripples of something like emotion in her calm eyes.
This made him understand that the feast of the goddess of love last night definitely made a splash in her calm heart.
Then the two of them made a tacit agreement not to discuss this issue anymore and walked out of the temple.
After arriving outside the temple, Brian found that Severil and Lilian had been waiting here for a long time. As for Sissi, who was rescued by him, he was sent to her in advance by Helister through a teleportation spell. Back to Mokou Town.
In addition to these two golden elves, there is also an elf woman wearing forest-colored clothes and a green cloak.
Her black hair shines like a green glow, her pale skin seems to reflect blue light, and her eyes are also bright and shining, more like aqua blue dotted with gold spots.
Obviously, this beautiful elf woman is a moon elf. Brian also knows that her name is Selina. She is a priest who believes in Corellon. She belongs to the city of Ellanthe and is the second most powerful one. From the Moon Elf family of the Yinge family.
Unfortunately, in the game world, she died of Salis' assassination.
"Bryan, I want to know that my sister Salis has really taken refuge with the demon lord Graz'zt, right?" Seeing Brian appearing, Severil ignored the moon elf priest beside him. To dissuade him, he rushed over, with grief on his face, and asked him eagerly.
"Yes." Brian said calmly, "But don't worry, she has been redeemed and her soul has returned to the kingdom of Avandor."
"By the name of the Seldarine gods, I have witnessed this with my own eyes." He added the last thing.
Looking at Brian's solemn look, Lilian and Severil, the unlucky golden elf siblings, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and cast grateful glances at him.
Then, Severil looked at the moon elf priest beside him, "Selina, please, I want to see her one last time, otherwise, I will live with deep self-blame all my life. "
"Brother, don't act nonsense!" Li Ruian scolded: "Do you know what you are doing?"
"It doesn't matter. The pastor shook his head slightly and said, "I am willing to fulfill his wish."
Although the priest was trying his best to restrain himself, he still couldn't hide the tremor in his voice.
"Being possessed by a dead soul is not painful." Lilian said to her, "At least it is not physically painful. However, it will be extremely disturbing. Are you sure you can do this?"< br>
Seeing this situation, Brian and Herlist looked at each other, did not disturb them, and stayed away from this place together.
Possession by the dead soul is a relatively rare ritual in the priest profession, and priests will not perform this kind of ritual easily.
Fortunately, under normal circumstances, dead souls are very rare, because they are souls that died in huge turbulence and cannot rest in peace. They cannot answer the reason for their existence and are always entangled in this core issue.
However, because Salis' soul was redeemed, she returned to the kingdom of Avandor.
So under certain coincidences, the elf priests can summon her soul and settle some grievances.
Obviously, Severil thought so.
While waiting patiently, Brian vaguely saw the body of the Moon Elf Priest sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly becoming a little stiff when he stood up.
Then in an inaudible voice, he answered the questions of Severil and Lilian intermittently.
After a while, he saw the moon elf priest walking towards him again with slightly stiff steps.
He looked into those familiar eyes and asked in an uncertain tone, "Are you...Salise?"
"Yes, I am Salis." The Moon Elf Priest's voice seemed to come from a distant country, "The golden elf who was redeemed in the Underdark."
Hearing her response, Brian suddenly felt a little hairy in his heart. That feeling was just... It was like encountering a ghost in broad daylight.
"I know everything and have forgiven my sister and brother. Thank you again for your help." The moon elf priest bowed deeply to him and said softly, "May the sweet spring and laughter With you.”
After saying that, she straightened up, turned around, and disappeared into the jungle with stiff steps.
After a while, Severil and Lilian came over after sorting out their emotions and expressed their thanks to Brian again.
"By the grace of the Seldarine gods, from today on, on behalf of the people of Ellanthe City and the expeditionary force from Evermeet Island, I will fully support any decision made by Ms. Moon Murmur." Verrel said with a respectful expression.
"On behalf of Silvermoon City, I would like to welcome the people of the Supreme Forest to join the Silver Federation." Herister looked stunned, subconsciously glanced at Brian next to her, quickly adjusted, raised her hand, and spoke with A cold voice said to the two golden elves.
“I hope you will not forget your promise.”
Brian also smiled and patted Severil on the shoulder. With the support of the elves, Helister's position as lord will be very stable.
In this case, there will no longer be a one-sided situation in the Silver Moon Council.
After all, she is a strange lord who was airborne by the Dragon Queen, how could she get the support of others so easily.
He said nothing more, exchanged a few brief greetings with Severil, and then headed towards Bullingdon Stone City in the Underdark with Helister.
