According to the process Mardell said, Soshyan held the Hellfire Stone in one hand and the Phoenix Holy Grail in the other hand. Inside was a burning true fire. Then he walked over and placed the Hellfire Stone inside the open helmet. on the pedestal, then lift the Holy Grail and carefully "pour" the flames inside toward the Hellfire Stone.
I saw the white-gold flame dripping on the Hellfire Stone like fluid, and then dispersed the red color, turning the entire gem into a shining translucent diamond form.
Soshiyang took two steps back, and the head of the structure gradually closed, and then closed completely with a snap.
A few seconds later, the eyes on the bird's head suddenly flashed, and then burned with golden flames. The spiritual light structure also stood up staggeringly, and the materialized spiritual energy formed a line behind it. The feather-like soft streamers looked gorgeous and noble, and the powerful surge of spiritual energy even gave some Bonesingers the illusion of drowning, causing them to cough. .
After moving its arms for a while, it seemed that it was still not used to this body. The body quickly swayed a few times, but it finally stood firm, then lowered its head and let out a deep voice.
"I am the envoy of the Phoenix, the communicator of the divine voice. The fire of Asuyan witnesses my rebirth, and the original Phoenix will surely return!"
Then it knelt down on one knee towards Soshiyang.
"Soshiyang, you are the holder of the Original Fire. Accept all this calmly, including my loyalty."
Soshiyang didn't say anything, just raised his head slightly Lift your chin.
"Get up and come with me. I have something to talk to you in private."
A long time later, in the side hall of the Phoenix Palace, after listening to Soshyan's narration, Mader just stood there quietly, like a statue.
Soshyan glanced at him, and then said helplessly:
"You said nothing, why? Don't you know anything about Orode? Including Asu Yan’s plan.”
It was only then that Mardell’s head moved slightly, and finally he uttered a sentence.
“This is the treacherous and dangerous change of life. Who in the galaxy can be called the supreme?”
"Ha, that's quite elegant. What do you mean, you don't know that Orod will die?"
"What I'm waiting for is the Lord of True Fire. If he doesn't have it, then it's not. As for the original Phoenix I don’t know anything about the plan. I only do what I can do.”
Soshiyang sneered twice and walked behind Mardell.
"Okay, okay, you don't say anything. You all think that I will follow each of your plans, so let's wait and see."
Madel turned around.
"I'm not lying, Suo Shiyang, you don't need to be angry. The original Phoenix is greater than you think. Its thoughts are not limited to one clan or one country. It walks the path of truth. Since you are the person it chooses, then your That's what it means, no need to worry about it."
Soshiyang turned around suddenly.
"How could I not mind? If it hadn't been for the Gray Marrow Project, how could Xerxes be driven to a dead end?"
"The one who drove him to a dead end, It’s his father, you know this better than anyone else.”
Soshiyang raised his hand.
"I won't argue with you about this. Now I just ask you, who might have killed Orod? The fraudster?"
After being silent for a long time, Madel gave an unexpected answer to Soshyan. :
"It should be Xi Lego."
"Ada the Laughing God!?"
Soshiyang's eyes widened.
"But Orold said he found traces of the Star God."
"Even the strongest fragment of the Deceiver may not be able to kill Orold who possesses the Original Flame Pendant, so the so-called Star God The traces are most likely the Laughing God's trap."
"Evidence? Or what is the basis?" "This is just my personal guess. What you are asking about is only a possibility."
< br>
“So what made you make this guess?”
"It was very close to the Deceiver, and had contact with the Lord of Humanity."
Soshiyang walked back and forth for a few steps with his hands behind his back, sometimes lowering his head, sometimes raising his head, and after a moment he turned to look at Ma Dell.
"Is Siregao an opponent of Asuryan?"
"No."
"Then why?"
"It's unknown. Silegor may have his own goals, or he may be worried about exposing something. He is a god who regards secrets as everything."
For some reason, Soshyan thought of Erda, subspace Things cannot be inferred by common sense, which means that his current thinking does not make any sense.
"So Mardell, your body is already in shape, what can you do to help me."
"What do you need?"
Soshiyang did not hesitate. replied:
"A personal army that is absolutely loyal to me in the royal court, such as that kind of Phoenix warrior."
Mardel nodded lightly.
“Okay, you first select five thousand adult men. You don’t need to consider their past identities. However, this ritual has a risk of failure. It’s up to you to choose whether to inform them. In addition, I will teach you chants. Bonesingers use the technology to create armor that can be tempered by real fire, or you can choose a bonesinger you think you can trust to accept it."
Five thousand adult men are not a small number for the current royal court. numbers, not to mention the risk of failure, the consequences of which may not be acceptable.
“What is the risk of failure? What will be the consequences?”
"Twenty to three percent, the consequence will of course be complete death. The soul will not be retained."
The failure rate of five thousand people is two to three percent, which means that at least one fifth of the candidates will die completely. , this price is a bit too high based on Soshyan's understanding of Ada.
And their relatives may not accept this result.
Sure enough, the population problem of Ada is still the biggest drawback. If it were placed in the Empire, the success rate of transformation surgery such as that of Space Marines might be only 20 to 30%. It would be impossible to do it without blinking an eye, but The mortality rate of 20% to 30% is completely unbearable.
The point is that not even the soul can be retained. In the eyes of Ada, this is almost synonymous with being devoured by Slaanesh. It is a result that no Ada can accept.
After thinking about it again and again, Soshyan sighed softly.
“That’s all, let’s put this matter aside for now and let me think about it later. Do you know how to make a psychic beast?”
“Of course, what type do you want? ? A variant of a dimensional spider, a ghost wolf spider, or a shadow beast, or a variety of star dragons? But these are more for mere viewing, and only a few are useful."
< br>"Well, the very huge ground dragons, such as mountain dragons, are very huge, with eight legs."
Mardel was silent for a long time, and finally uttered one sentence.
"That's a livestock. It's a beast of burden that was bred by extremely boring mortals to be used as a travel tool for long-term sojourns on certain planets with harsh terrain and climate."
"I think it looks pretty good. It's a bit bulky. , but it’s really big.”
Soshiyan said and opened his hands.
“It just looks like it’s huge, has a strong sense of oppression, and can also carry a war fortress.”
