Main Text Volume Chapter 386: Soul Garden

Angel looked deeply at the high priest, "Why do you think I am interested in the 'soul source' you talk about?"

The high priest raised his head and stared at Angel blankly.

Looking at those dull gray eyes, Angel always felt that maybe 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 very slowly, but every syllable seemed to have the power to touch people's hearts: "Even if it is not polished or carved, But your soul is still beautiful. If Lady Isabel were here, she would be moved by you."

"What on earth do you want to say?" Angel didn't like this kind of back-and-forth conversation with no message.

"What I want to say is, don't you want your soul to become more refined? The gray aura hidden deep in 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 told his purpose; at the same time, he was also surprised, how did this man who obviously only had a mortal body discover the... gray aura in his soul?

You know, when Nice wanted to find the gray aura, he made a whole plan, and finally used a spectrometer, and it took him a long time to find the clue. This mortal old man, it was their first official meeting today, and the other party could see the gravity vein hidden in his soul at a glance? This shocked him greatly.

"How do you know that there is a gray aura in my soul? Did the soul source tell you?" Angel asked calmly.

The high priest shook his head: "Although my eyes cannot see people, they can see souls."

Angel sneered. If you can see the soul and feel the gravity veins, why did Nice bother so much in the first place? Apparently the high priest was not telling the truth.

However, there is no friendship between him and the high priest, so it is not an exaggeration to hide something from each other.

"As you said, I really want to purify my soul. But I didn't come to Sipolok to purify my soul. I just came to help my companions." Angel said, "Of course, if I can make my soul change It has to be more refined, which is an unexpected surprise.”

Angel deliberately described "purifying the soul" as an "unexpected surprise", but he assumed the identity of a wizard and deliberately lowered the bargaining chip.

"If I want to get this unexpected blessing, what price do you need me to pay?"

The high priest smiled lightly and shook his head: "There is no price."

If you want to promote, suppress before you want. If you want to take, give before you want. Angel did not believe that there was a free lunch in the world, so when the high priest said "there is no price", Angel was even more alert than before. Because sometimes there is no price, but you will pay more.

"Can the soul be purified without paying any price? Is there such a good thing in the world?" Angel's face was full of disbelief.

High Priest: "I think you have misunderstood. I said there is no price because you have already paid the price."

Have I paid the price?

"When you chose to change the selection location, you already paid the price."

"What do you mean by this?"

"Because the selection of the Sky Choir is actually to purify the soul."

…

"If you have something to ask me for, you can go to the nearby Ten Thousand Souls Lake. I will always be there before the selection at night." The high priest left these words before saying goodbye and leaving.

After he left, Angel fell into silence.

At first, he followed the shadow to Kulakuka's tribe, just to take a chance.

Now that the opportunity has come, he is a little timid.

The reason for the timidity was the fear of offending Castle Black. Although attacking Fiona was a little offending, after all, Fiona was just an apprentice, and they didn't really hurt Fiona. Besides, there was a shadow mediating between them, so Angel wasn't too worried.

Therefore, the attack on Fiona can be temporarily revealed. But if he wants to change the selection location of the Sky Choir, that means he has to change the rules Isabel made thousands of years ago.

The words of the high priest made it very clear that as long as he continued with his decision and changed the selection location to the Centennial Hall, he would have a chance to refine his soul.

But if he really chooses to do so, the subsequent variables will be somewhat unpredictable.

Will Castle Black be truly offended by this move?

But now that he had the opportunity in front of him, it was difficult for him to give up.

Angel thought for a long time and decided to go to Ten Thousand Souls Lake first. He had been thinking about purifying his soul before, 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 help him make a choice.

Ten Thousand Souls Lake is located near the Centennial Palace.

When Angel arrived, the high priest was standing by the lake, looking at the lake with his eyes.

"Actually, you don't need to tell me, just let the selection take place in the Centennial Hall, and I don't have to worry about the choice." Angel said.

The high priest smiled lightly: "Whether it's your Excellency or the Holy Castle, I can't offend you."

"You could actually tell the Holy Castle, so you wouldn't be afraid of offending me. But you didn't do that because you also wanted to try to change the anxious situation."

The high priest remained silent.

"Why can choosing the Sky Choir purify the soul?" Angel asked the doubts in his heart.

The high priest paused for a moment, then turned to Angel and said, "Do you know the name of this small world?"

"The witchcraft garden of the soul system."

The high priest didn't say yes or no. His eyes were a little empty, as if he was recalling the past: "A long time ago, I served Lady Isabel, and she once told me that this place is actually called... the Garden of Living Souls."

The Garden of Living Souls? 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 suddenly. He asked with a look of doubt: "Who did you say you served just now?"

"Lady Isabel."

"Rumor has it that Lady Isabel left the wizarding world a thousand years ago? Could it be that Lady Isabel didn't leave?" Angel was surprised.

The high priest showed a bitter smile on his face: "No, Lady Isabel left a thousand years ago."

"So what you mean is..." Angel's mind suddenly flashed Dodolo's appearance, "Don't tell me you have lived for a thousand years?"

The high priest neither shook his head nor nodded, but said with a helpless tone: "Since I took on the name of the high priest, I have lived for a thousand years in different bodies. The body dies and then changes to another body. So, what is alive is just a soul with memories."

"Under special circumstances, the soul can not dissipate. But it is not easy to revive by borrowing a corpse." Angel said.

"I am not a reborn soul. A thousand years ago, I was refined into the soul source by Lady Isabel. The central law of the entire Soul Garden is the soul source. So if Lady Isabel, the owner of the soul source, does not want me to die, I cannot die. My soul will never fall. Even if my body disappears, it will continue to reincarnate in this world." The high priest paused: "This can also be regarded as a kind of immortality, but the premise is that I cannot leave the Soul Garden."

Angel has some understanding. Although this kind of immortality is unconventional, it can only be achieved in the soul witch garden...

"Just now when I talked about the Soul Garden, I think you should know that different witch gardens have different laws. The effect of the Soul Garden is to ensure the absolute integrity of the soul."

Angel's eyes flashed with surprise.

When he saw the old lady die at the corner of West Pollock Street, he found that the old lady's soul was very complete. He did not realize it at the time; now listening to what the high priest said, he suddenly recalled the record he had read in the book.

Only after the death of the extraordinary can an absolutely complete soul appear. After the death of a mortal, generally speaking, only some obscure spots of light or soul fragments will appear. Only mortals with strong obsession or naturally high mental power values ​​have a low chance of keeping their souls intact. That old lady has neither obsession nor high mental power values. How can she have a complete soul!

It is obviously the effect of the Soul Garden!

What does this mean? For soul wizards, this is simply a paradise for research!

Moreover, the consumption of souls has actually been high. Not only the soul system, but also the alchemical puppets of epigraphy, the evil spirit potion of pharmacy, and even the application of magic, all need complete souls.

While Angel was still surprised, the high priest continued: "Thanks to the characteristics of the Soul Garden, the souls of our clan can be guaranteed to be complete after death."

"But Lady Isabel does not need a mortal soul full of impurities. Therefore, Lady Isabel placed a secret treasure in the soul source. As long as the soul accumulates to a certain level, it can be opened through a specific process and scale, and the impurities in the soul can be removed one by one."

"The specific scale you mentioned..."

"It is the "Fairy Epic"."

Angel frowned: "Everyone can sing, why do we have to select?"

"Not everyone's singing can activate the mysterious treasure." The high priest paused: "Bloodline is the key. Our bloodline was transformed by Isabel thousands of years ago. Among our descendants, only a small number of women have bloodlines 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 Soul Garden, but the ability of a certain secret treasure.

"But is there any necessary connection between this and my changing the selection location?"

The high priest shook his head: "The original selection location was near the festival, where the other half of the secret treasure was buried. When the secret treasures are combined, it is not to purify the soul, but to remove all impurities in the soul, including emotions, memories... In the end, all the souls that died in the Garden of Living Souls this year will be transformed into the purest energy body under the effect of the secret treasure. This energy body is called the Soul Orb."

In other words, as long as he changes the location, the Soul Orb will never 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, then return it to the festival, and let it merge with the other half of the secret treasure, is this okay?"

The high priest shook his head: "No, each 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."
