Chapter 2 The third red dot in the first chapter

It was already afternoon when Kings walked into the lobby of the inn. The setting sun outside the window enveloped the inn located at the mouth of Fuze Town in a warm and charming orange light.Looking out from the entrance of the post station, there is a straight path paved with gray-white rocks. The road looks old, and has been stroked by wind, rain and years to a fine and smooth stone surface.From time to time, there are pedestrians walking in the sunset with bags of various shapes and sizes on their backs, and they are not locals at first glance.Occasionally, horse-drawn carriages leave the town with special spices and hand-sewn leather from Fuze Town.For a long time, the spice made from the roots of the maple locust tree produced in Fuze Town has been sold particularly well in the southern ports near the sea by virtue of its high quality and low price.

There was thick fluffy green grass on both sides of the road before, but now it’s early winter, the lawn is already withered and yellow, the wind blows up the dead grass debris, blows it up in the air, and the sun shines on it, floating like golden sand. The whole Fuze looks like a warm town painted with gold powder, full of the aroma of honey berry wine and fruit hot tea. But Jins didn't care about the scenery outside the door, he only had eyes on the people sitting in the lobby of the inn at the moment. Also looking at the guests in the inn, there is Qi Ling who is shuttled between the tables at the moment serving tea and water.

To describe Qi Ling, there are many adjectives. When he was young, he often heard clever, juicy, well-behaved, beautiful, etc., but when he grew up, he often heard handsome, tall and straight, and heroic.Qi Ling's pupils are naturally brighter, coupled with his black eyebrows that are as sharp as two slender daggers, his eyes are like stars, and his smile is like a bright white crescent moon in the sky.Every day at the gate of the post station, many girls from Fuze Town deliberately came to see him. They wore colorful headscarves and hair ties, and ran past the gate of the post station while peeking inside while playing.

Watch him tie his black and healthy hair behind his head with a black lambskin rope, and then roll up half of his sleeves to wipe the table and wash the dishes. His strong little arms exude the unique vitality of mature teenagers, with clear and beautiful muscle lines, full of vitality Unlike those uncles sitting at the table drinking honey goat's milk wine, they feel that the surface of their bodies is covered with a layer of cheese, which is soft. I also watched him jump up to the fruit tree in the backyard to pick the fruit, or stand on the roof to clean the red maple leaves that fell from the roof in autumn.His slender and vigorous body is like a leopard.

Or sometimes he stood in the courtyard at dusk in autumn, when the wind was blowing in the bloody evening of the setting sun, the wind wrinkled his brows and eyes, looking like a sentimental and desolate bard.But in fact, he may just be thinking in his heart, "It's over, I broke three plates this month, and the lady boss will definitely deduct a lot of money from me." Of course, Qi Ling also often winks at them, boys of this age seem to be in their nature to tease girls.He was born with good-looking eyebrows and eyes, and his figure was slender and flexible. Although he was a waiter in a shop wearing well-washed clothes, his body seemed to be shrouded in an aristocratic temperament, like a layer of starlight.

People in the town who have been to the imperial capital Grant say that Qi Ling looks like a person from the imperial capital, with sharp eyebrows and radiant pupils.But Qi Ling has never left Fuze Town in the seventeen years since he was born.He wanted to go to Grant all day long, but he never left this small town nestled deep in a forest. But today, in this post station at the entrance of Fuze Town, there are five people from the imperial capital Grant. Their targets are all soul beasts that will appear in Fuze tonight. Qi Ling has been listening to the people in the town talking about it for the past few days, but Qi Ling is too unfamiliar with the terms such as soul beast and soul master that they say.Although he knew that the entire continent of Odin was built on the basis of "soul power", the only person he had come into contact with that had something to do with soul power was that old lady in the town who was in her eighties all day long.People in the town rumored that when she was young, she was a maidservant of a famous family in the imperial capital. She secretly learned some soul skills and slipped back to Fuze.But the only time Qi Ling saw her use her soul power was to make the water in the well gushes up automatically to fill her tank.And just this simple action almost killed her, panting as if she was about to die.

Qi Ling was extremely disappointed.Because he has heard a lot about the great soul masters. According to the legend, they can fly into the sky and hide from the earth, holding the glow of the sky with their hands, and causing a huge tsunami with their hands. It feels like a god-like existence. Every time he would ask the passing passengers about the imperial capital and the soul masters in the imperial capital, but most of the tourists who can come to Fuze are not very powerful characters, and they are not familiar with the soul arts that have been controlled by the royal blood in the imperial capital. Just heard about it.

Therefore, when five soul masters from Grant suddenly appeared in the station, his whole body was like a boiling kettle, jumping around in a "boom", unable to stop for a moment. Jins glanced around, and then picked a table that was already occupied and sat down. Before he could sit still, the woman opposite him spoke: "This table is occupied, don't you see?" Kings raised his head, showing a hearty smile. Jin Si, in his early thirties, is a well-known soul master in the imperial capital. The Jin family has always been famous for its superb soul power control, and it can be regarded as a famous family.He raised his carefully trimmed eyebrows, and said to the woman in the dark green dress opposite, "I see." After speaking, he raised his hand and poured a cup of tea, which slowly filled the cup like a thin line. It took a long time before he filled the cup of tea.He put down the teapot, "So?" He raised his deep eyes and looked at her with a half-smile.

Jins picked up the cup, halfway through it, and just about to bring it to his mouth, the cup suddenly shattered with a "bang". ——The splashed liquid solidified into water droplets the size of pearls, bouncing up and down on the tabletop, and the tabletop was knocked, making a wooden sound of "dongdong".But these drops of water did not freeze, as if controlled by a force, they solidified into a spherical shape like a solid that could not be dispersed, bouncing around. Qi Ling, who was standing beside him, saw that his eyeballs almost popped out. Jin Si lowered his head and smiled, and gently spread his hands. At that moment, all the water droplets seemed to be pulled by an attractive force, and all returned to his palm. Before Qi Ling could see it clearly, a delicate and translucent The cold ice cup appeared in Jins's hand.Jins took the teapot next to him and poured another cup of scalding tea into the ice cup. In the hot air, he didn't see any melting of the ice cup.

The face of the woman opposite seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. Just as she was about to stand up, Jins raised his hand and motioned her to sit down.Jin Si took a sip of tea and said quietly: "You should save your soul power to catch it, or save some soul power to escape." Jin Si smiled brightly and confidently, "Are you right, Luya? " The woman named Lu Ya in the dark green dress didn't speak anymore, but a middle-aged man at the next table said: "Anyway, there is only one, and sooner or later you will be robbed, and you will be beaten sooner or later. It's okay if one dies now." It’s a big deal, but it’s fun.”

Kings turned his head, showing a disgusted expression.The person he least wanted to see was sitting at the table next to him - Toka.Jins touched his broken little finger in the sleeve, and looked at Toka with resentful eyes.Three years ago, when he was hunting soul beasts, Toka robbed him and cut off his little finger with an ice sword, but in the end Toka couldn't catch it, and the one who finally conquered was an eight-year-old little princess in the imperial capital. At this moment, three years later, Toka smiled arrogantly at Kings again, showing his dirty teeth. "You don't have to die if you rob, how hurtful it is to say that." A very gorgeous-looking woman sitting at another table also followed suit.She was dressed like one of those dancers who went from town to town, with bells and colored cheap gems all over her body.However, her status is not cheap at all. "As long as you know how to walk quickly with your tail between your legs, you don't have to lose your life, lest you end up with a bloody mess, and you won't get any benefits. Therefore, you must know how to measure yourself and measure your own weight." She spoke softly. Shaking her full bun, she looked very happy, as if she had just drank some delicious wine, but she didn't know who she was talking to, she looked at the air, and her eyes didn't focus on anyone. After seeing her, Jins took a deep breath, and said in a tone of half fear and half disgust, "Liu Na, don't you already have one? Why are you here to join in the fun?" Liu Na smiled coquettishly, turned her head and said to the air around her, "But after being alone for a long time, you will be lonely, right?" As soon as the words fell, the air around Liu Na suddenly seemed Liquid twisted a transparent vortex, and then there was a loud bang, a majestic red lion about two people's height suddenly appeared beside Liuna, roaring non-stop, with four big blood-red lions growing on its forehead. Each of the eyes is like a red-hot iron ball, and the scorching air from the open bloody mouth makes the air fluctuate into countless transparent twists.Originally, Liu Na's figure was tall and strong, but at this moment, beside this giant beast, she looked like a petite girl. The small town residents who were still whispering about this group of people in the lobby of the inn, all ran away yelling.Because they have never seen a real soul beast—the soul beast in their imagination should be similar to a lion or a tiger. "Besides, it's not easy to deal with. At the critical moment, I still have to rely on my baby, let it go first." Liu Na whispered softly while stroking the terrifying monster around her, as if a mother was stroking her own child. Gentle and kind. "Sounds good," Jin Si snorted, "Let it go up first? It should be let it go up first to die. Everyone knows that ordinary soul masters can only have one soul beast. You have to catch it. Then you must die first." "Yeah..." Liu Na's gaze was as gentle as water, and she stroked the black polyps around the edge of the monster's mouth with her fingers, without turning her head, she said, "But, what does it matter to you?" ?” Both Toka and Luya snorted, but remained silent. Kings was also uncomfortable watching, but he couldn't help it.Even if Liuna didn't summon the soul beast, Liuna alone would be comparable to Jinsi in terms of soul power.Jins took a deep breath, and turned his head to look at the gradually dimming sky outdoors. The inn lobby was soon emptied, only the four of them were left, and Qi Ling who was standing on the side holding a teapot was too scared to move. "Ding Ling——" In the quiet post station, a crisp metal bell sounded like a small circle of ripples on the lake surface suddenly hit by raindrops, spreading in the air.In the dark lobby at dusk, there was a gloomy atmosphere, and in the dimness that could not be seen clearly, there seemed to be a bunch of chilly ghosts hiding.Everyone felt keenly that the surrounding temperature was dropping at an imperceptible speed, and the moisture in the air was slowly condensing. "Oh..." A naive but indescribably strange voice came from the darkness above, "Why are there so many people?" On the stairs of the post station, a little girl's figure appeared vaguely in the dim shadows. She was about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a purple knee-length robe, standing barefoot on the stairs, with circles hanging on her hands and feet. Silver and white metal bracelet and anklet.The cold "Ding Ling" sound just now should have come from here. "It makes me a little... unhappy." The faint voice was like a pool of black stagnant water.Combined with the numb and empty expression on her face, it seemed that the words did not come from her, but from a ghost hiding in the darkness.The atmosphere in the air quickly became weird and distorted, as if a strong stench was blowing from the death swamp. The little girl walked down slowly step by step. When she passed by Luya, she turned her head slightly, looked at Luya expressionlessly, and tilted her head slightly: "Then, let's have one less first." Then Luya's head, inexplicably, fell to the ground with a bang. Her headless torso was still sitting upright in front of the table, and she even maintained the action of pouring tea in her hand, but the blood hole on her neck was as big as a bowl, like a spring, bubbling sticky hot blood. The teapot in Qi Ling's hand fell to the ground with a "bang".He looked at the headless corpse sitting upright in front of the table. His whole body seemed to be grasped by the big transparent hands of the god of death, unable to move. His rationality told him to run away, but his body was unable to do so because of great fear. any action. The little girl walked past Luya's body, the metal rings on her feet made a breathtaking "dingling" sound in the silent lobby, she walked slowly towards Qi Ling, and every step she took, the silver-white metal rings on her body twitched. There was a clanging sound, which sounded indescribably weird. She walked past Qi Ling without looking sideways, without even turning her eyes, as if Qi Ling didn't exist.She walked up to Liuna and turned her head to look at the red lion. In her eyes was a little girl's innocent doubts. She said in a naive and crisp voice: "Why is it here? It doesn't know it's coming soon Is it?" Standing in front of the huge fiery red lion, her small body raised her head and looked at it innocently: "Do you want to die?" Her voice was weak and calm, as if she was asking if someone had breakfast no. Under her gaze, as if seeing a monster, she retreated more and more. The violent and domineering flames that flew up before disappeared without a trace, trembling like a frightened dog.Liu Na stood up, waved her hand, and collapsed into a cloud of red smoke, disappearing into the air. The little girl tilted her head, walked slowly to a chair in a corner, then turned around and sat on the chair, tucking her legs up, hugging her knees, and her whole body was small, sunken in the space of the armrest of the chair.She held her round face, and with her big smart eyes, as if looking at a group of dead people, she swept her gaze over the faces of the people in the room one by one. Liu Na suppressed the fear in her heart, stood up, and said to the little girl: "If you also come to fight with us, then I admit defeat and quit." The little girl frowned earnestly, she shook her head, and said in a faint voice that seemed to come from a distant space, "No, I didn't come to snatch it from you." After speaking, her eyes turned to Outside the window, at this moment, the outside of the window is already pitch black, the bloody sunset has completely sunk into the depths of the earth, and the dark night has densely covered every inch of the ground in the small town, leaving only the shadows from the windows of the houses on the dark land. Scattered lights.She paused for a while and said, "I'm here to fight with them, to grab it." Toka next to him snorted and said, "Who are they?" The little girl tilted her head and looked at Toka, as if she was thinking about his problem. She looked at Toka blankly and said, "They are them." Then she paused and said, "They are not you. .” After speaking, he turned his head back, stared at the end of the road outside the door, and remained motionless. And Toka sat in front of the table, also motionless. Qi Ling, who was standing closer to Toka, had already bent down and couldn't help vomiting. From the ground under Toka's two feet, at some point, a few sharp and sharp ice crystals grew out, like crazily growing vines, penetrating from the bottom of his feet, along the inside of Toka's body, all the way It pierced upwards from the inside of the calf and thigh, and finally pierced densely from the chest, filled in the air, as if a huge white sea urchin exploded from his chest.Countless crystal-like sharp ice blades decorated his corpse like a sculpture.His internal organs and intestines were bloody and hot hanging on these silver-white ice crystals, emitting billowing white gas. The darkness of death shrouded down from the top of the head, and the rising cold breath swirled in the lobby of the inn.Liu Na stood up and looked at the little girl with fear on her face, "...Who the hell are you?" The little girl didn't look at Liuna, but hugged her knees, raised her head and looked at an unknown place above the ceiling, her eyes were empty and pale, as if she could directly see the increasingly dark sky outside through the roof. The sky above the head was densely covered with dark clouds, and the airflow that kept rolling like a huge cloth tore the clouds into flocculent strips.The cold wind in the winter night, wrapped in sporadic ice chips, blows in through the window. "You don't even know me..." The little girl lowered her eyes, looking a little regretful. "She is... Ligil..." Jins squeezed out the words hoarsely from his trembling throat. "Huh?...do you know me?" Ligil looked at Jins faintly, and suddenly smiled softly, her face was like a bewitching flower in the mist, "or...you saw it?" The little girl was curled up in a dimly lit corner chair, but her body was shrouded in a faint green light that came from nowhere.At this time, in the corner of the lobby behind her, the huge space was filled with one...a butterfly-like creature who didn't know how to describe it.Because it was too huge, it could only twist its wings and squeeze into the corner behind Ligil, it almost broke the entire roof.Its body is covered with fine and sharp scales, each of which is shimmering with a green light. The brackets that make up its wings are all crystal-like bones. The wings connected between these bones are A membrane that looks disgustingly soft.The edges of the wings are covered with wet things that look like octopus tentacles, and they are wriggling in a mess at the moment.The entire huge and eerie butterfly actually looked more like a slimy colorful bat, twisted and motionless behind Ligil. "It's beautiful..." A slimy eel-like thing hangs down from the roof. Ligil stretches out her hand and strokes a sticky tentacles hanging down. If you look carefully, you will find the tentacles At the top, there is a half-closed human eye. Jins and Liuna stood up abruptly and turned over their chairs.They hurried out of the station.No one wants to compete with such a monster for anything. Qi Ling huddled by the corner of the inn, he wanted to run, but his whole body was numb from scalp to toes, he looked at the little girl who was still staring blankly in front of him, and then at Jin Si and Liu Na who had just left the inn in a hurry , he was completely stunned, not to mention the pile of unknown things in the corner of the lobby. If he was full of longing for the world of soul power before, now Qi Ling just wants to escape this nightmare as soon as possible. At this moment, Ligil turned her head and looked at Qi Ling, "I'm hungry." The sudden "crash" behind her turned into a pool of thick green slurry, gurgling down the wall and flowing along the ground, Climb up the back of the chair and flow down Ligil's back into her body. "Go get me something to eat." Qi Ling nodded, his upper and lower teeth trembling with fear.He nodded as he staggered toward the back yard. "Hey," Qi Ling was about to step out of the back door when Ligil called him back, "You'd better hurry up, and if you want to run away, I won't be happy." After Qi Ling walked out of the lobby, Ligil turned her head and stared at the door of the inn, "Oh, they are here. Why are Jins and Liuna running away, as if I am some terrible monster, they don't know, run away Going out, is it really meeting those monsters..." Her girlish face was covered with a layer of sadness, as if she really felt sorry for the two of them. At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky were blown open by the wind, and the moonlight shone down from the sky on the avenue outside the inn. At the fork of the avenue two hundred meters away from the inn, Jinsi and Liuna were lying across. corpse.The bright moonlight covered their corpses with a thin layer of frost. A quarter of an hour ago, Lijill was the only one left in the lobby of the inn, but now, it suddenly became lively again, including Lijill and Qi Ling, there were ten people in total. The eight newcomers were all wearing silver-white robes of a similar style, clean and noble.The men all wore headgear that was recognizable at first glance, and all had a golden saber pinned to their waists.The women are all wearing gauze skirts that are as flowing as snow and mist. As they walk and move, those gauze skirts float on them like smoke without wind, rippling gently, like slowly changing mist, looking Just like people from the God Realm.They all have a string of ice blue bracelets on their wrists, which look as crystal clear as the tears of the sea. The eight of them sat on one side of the lobby, and on the opposite side was the weird Ligil who was still lazing in a chair, as if her soul had come out of her body. Two obviously different auras filled the lobby. "Why do you people from the Shen family come to join in the fun?" Ligil looked at the eight white-clothed people on the opposite side, and said coldly, "You don't have enough soul beasts?" The eight people on the opposite side looked at Ligil, although they didn't show any fear, but they still seemed a little apprehensive.This can be seen from the time when the eight of them just walked into the station.When they saw Ligil who was hiding in a corner, they were obviously surprised. A 30-year-old man sitting among the eight people seemed to be the leader of these people. While drinking the tea Qi Ling poured for them, he said in a low voice: "There are not many people who are capable of devouring, so , our Shen family will naturally come, and it is a high-level water attribute. It will be seen once in a hundred years. Of course, our family is willing to have a few more such high-level soul beasts." He put down his teacup and looked at Li Jier, "It's you, in the imperial capital. Is it not enough for Grant to be presumptuous, he still has to come here." "Oh, oh..." Ligil put her feet down and stretched her waist, "As you said, I was so presumptuous in the imperial capital Grant, and in this kind of small town, I would turn the world upside down Yes." She stood up slowly, shaking her body slightly from side to side, and her wrist and ankle rings jingled, "It's just that there are so many of you here at once, and I'm going to fight you alone, it's very difficult..." She used An extremely weird movement, stretching her body that was stiff because of sitting for too long, a series of appalling "click click" sounds from her petite body, "You say you, how shameless, so many people, Fighting with a little girl..." "Are you a little girl? You should be an old girl..." Among the people in white, a young boy-like person sneered softly. Ligil's face suddenly turned cold, like a frozen dead person, "Say it again." Two snake-like flexible icicles suddenly hung down from the roof. They were hard and sharp, but flexible and soft like snakes. The two icicles hung down slowly, aiming at the two eyes of the young man, like cobras ready to attack at any time. The boy's face was pale, he had obviously been greatly insulted, but he didn't dare to take his own life as a joke, so he swallowed and gritted his teeth. Ligil's face softened again, as if a spring breeze had blown by.The two icicles dissipated in the air like smoke. The middle-aged man turned his head and reprimanded the boy softly and severely: "Don't cause trouble." Ligil sat back on the chair again, her gaze became empty and weird again. After Qi Ling brought food to Lijier and poured tea for the new guests, he was ready to run away.To be honest, no matter how curious he was about these mysterious soul masters from the imperial capital, after watching so many people die one after another, he didn't want to stay for a second longer. Just as he was about to slip away through the back door with the teapot in hand, he tripped over something, and he lost his center of gravity and fell forward. He had already closed his eyes and was about to hit the ground, but suddenly there was a soft touch, as if he had fallen on a soft bed. Qi Ling opened his eyes, and in front of him was a face so beautiful that one could feel it was a goddess.He lowered his head and saw himself falling on a silver-white net, those white spider-like threads criss-crossed and criss-crossed in the air, holding the teapot, cup and himself on it. Qi Ling hurriedly struggled to stand up, and then heard the girl who was looking at her just now say to herself: "Are you okay?" After she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and instantly those silvery white spider threads were drawn back like smoke in her palm. "I...it's fine." Qi Ling's face quickly became hot, and he looked at the girl in front of him who was about the same age as him, wearing a flowing white robe and gauze, and her black hair was gently curled up like black ink flowing with luster overhead.Her eyes are round and black, and her long eyelashes are like mist, which make her eyebrows extremely moist.She has a small pointed face, her skin is as white and smooth as soft snow, and she looks like a young and noble princess. "My name is Shenyin, and I'm from the Imperial Capital Grant." She looked at Qi Ling and smiled slightly. "My name is Qi Ling..." Qi Ling, who originally wanted to escape, was now firmly attracted. If he thought the previous scene was like a terrifying nightmare just now, he really felt that he was in The sweetest dream.He stood beside her cautiously, with the youthful blood of a teenager surging in his chest, he had never seen such a beautiful girl in the small town, he hated himself for being worthless, he couldn't even breathe calmly. "Sit down, stop standing." Shenyin waved to him. Qi Ling sat down anxiously and excitedly. He looked at Shenyin's beautiful face, which was so beautiful that it was almost unearthly. "Sister...are you a soul master too?" Qi Ling stared straight at her with his thick eyebrows and big eyes open. "Well, yes, we are all." Shenyin put her hands on the table, and on her wrist was the string of pure blue gemstone bracelets. "Our family is quite well-known in the imperial capital. Everyone in the family is a soul master. They are all my relatives. Look at the one who just spoke, the one in the middle," Shenyin leaned her head over and said softly. Qi Ling said, "He is my elder brother, Shensi, he always has a straight face, always scary." Qi Ling looked at Shenyin who was approaching him, and felt that his breathing was much faster.On the tip of the nose is the thin scent of magnolia flowers that emanates from Shenyin's body one after another, faintly present, not overpowering, but very clear, like a flower blooming in an invisible place in the dark. "Wow, are you the most powerful soul masters in the imperial capital?" Qi Ling's eyes sparkled, and his curiosity about the world of soul arts began to surge again. "Are you talking about us? Our family is not bad among soul masters, but if it is the entire world of soul power, the most powerful people are no longer called soul masters. They are called soul masters. The pinnacle of the art world." Shenyin looked at the curious Qi Ling in front of him, and explained to him with a chuckle.Anyway, there was still some time before he appeared, so instead of staying silent with those serious people in the family, it would be better to chat with this handsome young man in front of him. "Ah? Then your brother?" Qi Ling asked. "My brother?" Shenyin looked at the young man in front of him who knew nothing about the world of soul arts, and smiled with her mouth covered, "Perhaps a hundred of my brothers can all be kings." "Instant kill?" "Hmm... just like when Ligil killed Luya and Toka just now. In the world of soul masters, if the difference in soul power level between two people is too far, almost overwhelming, then the strong On the one hand, it can completely suppress the opponent's soul power so that it cannot be released, and can kill the opponent in an instant." "So powerful?!" Qi Ling's eyes widened. "Of course. You don't know much about our world. Since we were young, we have almost never had the chance to meet, and there are only a handful of people we have met in the imperial capital. Like the gods in the sky, they rarely appear in everyone's field of vision, and often they exist like legends." "How many are there?" Qi Ling couldn't help asking. "Seven," Shenyin's face looked flawless under the light, as if it had been carved out of round and beautiful jade. "From the beginning of our empire's historical records, there have been seven and only seven. The old one is dead." , there will be a new heir as a substitute. There will be no more, no less, and there will always be only seven. The heirs of the king, as they are called, each has its own. " "Are all of them that powerful?" "That's not true, it's far from it. According to the division of soul power, from now on, the soul power is getting stronger and stronger. Among them, the top three ranks, after they become, or even before they become, almost all of us I don't know who they are, what they look like. They almost never appear in public in our country. Before I was born, there was a year when thousands of soul beasts in the North Canyon didn't know For some reason, the group lost control. At that time, my mother came out to suppress those soul beasts. That is also the highest level we have seen in the history of our family. No one knows how big your soul power is, and no one sees it What kind of soul beasts have passed them?" "Why has no one seen it? Even I have seen two soul beasts, a lion, a butterfly... or a bat... I don't know what that thing is, I didn't dare to look carefully, it's too scary , that thing has a lot of sticky tentacles, not to mention how scary it is." Qi Ling whispered to Shenyin, and at the same time secretly aimed at Lijier, afraid of being overheard by her. "The soul beasts of ordinary soul masters are of course easier to see. My soul beasts are often released. But they are different. They rarely move around in the world, and we have almost no chance to see them. ; Secondly, their soul power is terribly high, and there are almost no emergencies that require them to release the soul beast to solve it." When Shenyin talked about it, there was an expression of infinite respect and admiration on her face. Qi Ling looked at her face, which was as beautiful as a fairy, and couldn't help imagining what kind of person she was.After thinking for a while, Qi Ling suddenly remembered and asked Shenyin: "Sister, what is your soul beast?" Shenyin pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Don't tell you, I'm afraid I'll scare you." After she finished speaking, she pointed to the place where the silvery white spider web had just condensed, Qi Ling suddenly remembered something, and her face turned pale Said: "Don't let it out... I'm most afraid of that thing..." After a pause, "Then they are really the seven most powerful people in the world? It's amazing!" "Well, it should be said that they are the seven most powerful people in our Aslan Empire. Because our Odin continent is divided into four countries. We are Aslan, the source of water in the west, and the fire source in the east. The source is the Friel Empire, the north is the source of the Inde Empire, and the south is the largest and most mysterious source of the Els Empire. Each country has seven. It should be said that there are twenty-eight of them. The pinnacle of soul power on this continent." "By the way, sister, what the hell are you talking about?" "It's a soul beast. If you can capture it, you can make it a soul beast controlled by your soul power. Whether it's fighting against the enemy or sending it to do other things, it will be of great help. And the soul The soul power of beasts is generally higher than that of humans. To put it simply, you can use soul beasts as our weapons. But this time, because it is a soul beast with high-level water element soul power, for us People born in the Aslan Empire are very good soul beasts. Because the domain we grew up in is a continent of water attributes, and our natural soul power has the strongest control over water. So many people Want to get it. But people with no level at all are simply here to die." "Sister, don't you have a soul beast, so you're still here?" "I don't want it at all, it's my brother Shensi who wants it." Shenyin stuck out her tongue lightly.Qi Ling was dumbfounded. "Then why are there so many people here?" "It's quite a powerful soul beast, although not as powerful as mine, haha," Shenyin quietly approached Qi Ling, "Don't tell my brother, or he will be angry again. Capturing a soul beast is a particularly dangerous thing , because you need to release most of your soul power to devour the opponent's soul power. Let me put it simply, it is equivalent to releasing your soul naked from the body, and then devouring the opponent's soul. Be careful, it is easy to be devoured by the opponent. That would be no fun... Therefore, we usually concentrate on attacking the soul beast to the dying state first, and then devour it when its soul power is weakest , Let it become our own soul beast. So, today we are equivalent to helping my brother to be a round-up hunter, we are responsible for attacking it until it is dying, and then my brother will devour it." "Ah, so that's how it is..." Qi Ling nodded half-understanding. In the dark night, there is a lake-like icy coldness. The forest at the end of the road showed an eerie silence in the night.In the bottomless darkness, the sound of huge footsteps, like huge drumbeats, was getting closer and closer. 天上微微下起了小雪，开始只是一点点零星的雪花，在夜色里反射出星屑般的亮光，而一转眼，空气的温度就飞速地下降，整个小镇仿佛被拉扯着往一个冰川峡谷深处坠落，前一秒还是松软的泥土地面，下一秒钟就变成了结满了冰的坚硬冻土。 黑暗森林里，密密麻麻的冰雪用一种席卷一切的速度，轰然向前扩散着，吞噬一切般地冻结了天地间的一切。 这种灾难般的危险正朝着驿站风驰电掣而来，但里面的人，似乎没有意识到这一切，依然仿佛树洞深处安睡的松鼠，并未感觉到树洞外的暴雪。 “姐姐你还要喝水么？我去帮你拿。”麒零打了个寒战，看向窗外，好像起风了。他站起身，把开着的窗户关紧，转身从炉火里拿出一根燃烧着的木柴，走到墙边的壁炉旁，把里面的木炭点燃。屋子里的温度已经让人受不了了。“怎么会突然这么冷？这才只是初冬啊。”麒零拨弄着炭火，裹紧了衣领。 这时，一直离他们远远的窝在椅子里的莉吉尔，轻轻地站了起来，她甩了甩手，叮叮当当的手环撞击出音乐一样的声音来。她的瞳孔散发出冰蓝色的骇人光芒，脸上依然是那副又纯真又诡异的笑容，“哎呀，好像来了呢。” 说完，她轻轻地，一步一步缓慢地朝大门走去，大堂的角落里，一团模糊而氤氲的绿色光芒渐渐显露了出来，光芒里滚动着一些游窜的条形黑影，缠绕着，纠葛着。莉吉尔走过神斯旁边的时候，看了看他，然后微笑着说：“那我先去了——”刚说完，她突然把手往后一甩，全身扭曲成一个极其古怪的像是飞鸟展翅起飞前的一个姿态，而下一秒钟，突然“砰”的一声巨响—— 角落里那团巨大的暗绿色光芒里，巨大的突然在空气里显形，森然的白骨伸展扩大，发出“咔嚓咔嚓”的骇人声响，一瞬间，它用尽全力振开自己的翅膀，“刷”的一声冲上了天空，完全张开翅膀之后，它就像是一个笼罩在天空里的巨大幽灵，无数黏稠的绿色汁液，从它的翅膀上甩开，像是下雨一样。屋顶被撞出一个巨大的窟窿，撞破的房梁和瓦片，变成无数的木头碎片和瓦砾，纷乱地往下砸，麒零刚要逃，神音轻轻地抬手，指尖飞快而复杂地一动，他们头上“嗡”的一声就撑开了一面巨大的银白色丝网。所有碎片都砸在网上。 莉吉尔看着神斯，没有张口，却有冰冷的声音从她那张诡异笑容的脸上发出来，她说：“哎，你看，我真是运气不好，遇见这么强的对手要和我抢，我只能先下手为强了啊。” 神斯冷冷地笑着，说：“你知道就好。” 莉吉尔歪着头，呵呵笑着，目光里是欲言又止的复杂，她缓慢地走出了驿站。她走到门外，回过头，看着驿站里面神斯的背影，低低地梦呓一般自言自语地说：“我说的对手，可不是你呢，我说的是在那边和小朋友聊天的那一只，我和她比起来，真正是怪物的，是她才对吧……” 房间里，正笑眯眯地和麒零说话的神音，仿佛感受到了什么似的，轻轻地把脸转过来，望着门外的莉吉尔，对她露出了一个迷人的微笑。 莉吉尔离开之后，房间里只剩下神氏家族的人，和麒零。 坐在神斯边上的看起来年纪稍微大一些的一个女人，对神斯说：“我们真的要让她先去么？” 神斯说：“放心好了，就凭她，一个人是没办法吞噬掉的。让她先去消耗掉的一些力量也好。” 麒零听到这里，本来对莉吉尔完全没有好感，这个时候突然觉得她有些可怜。而且也对面前的神斯产生了一些不好的印象，一群成年人，竟然要一个小女孩先去送死，怎么都显得太不道德了。麒零看着小小的十二三岁的女孩子的背影消失在门外道路的尽头，心里隐隐有了些不忍——当然，如果他抬头看到此刻正缓慢跟随着莉吉尔，在她头顶盘旋振翅的那个巨大幽灵般的的话，又是另外一番感受了。 一盏灯的时间之后，麒零实在受不了房间里的寂静了。可能是因为大家都在准备等一下的围捕，所以，连神音也不怎么说话了。 麒零刚想离开，突然一阵刺骨的寒冷从胸膛蔓延开来。他双脚像是失去力气一般，直接跌坐在椅子上。 一瞬间，整个屋子被白色的光芒笼罩起来，地面上一层薄冰，从门外蔓延进来，很快，就把整个地面冰冻了起来。 门突然“咣当”一声被风猛烈地掀开，莉吉尔不知道什么时候，已经站在门外面了，她的脸上是那种因为极度的兴奋而微微扭曲的笑容，看得人毛骨悚然。 空气里弥漫着一种介于弦音和蜂鸣之间的诡异响声，把耳膜刺得发痛，没有人知道这种声音来自哪里，仿佛地狱里发出的邀请，在勾人的灵魂。窗外的亮光越来越惨白，像是凄惶的世界末日来临一样。 她像刚刚离开的时候那样，一步，一步，走了进来，她轻轻地抬起左手，半掩着嘴，“呵呵，真是开心呢，今天……”她的目光从屋子里每一个人的脸上扫过去。 神斯一颗心突然坠了下来。他恨得咬紧了牙。“看来，我还是低估了你的魂力……今天算了，我不要了！”他猛地站起来，压抑着愤怒，准备走。 “哎呀，”莉吉尔诡异地笑着，“我还没说完呢。” 当神斯回过头看她的时候，他像是看见了最可怕的梦魇一样，惊讶得倒退两步。 而麒零，已经坐在椅子上动不了了。 莉吉尔的右边肩膀到腹部，突然像是被无形的刀劈开了一样，就像是暴雨后滑坡的山体，她的右臂以及小小乳房部位的血肉，突然从身子上垮了下来，她的右半边腹腔里的内脏、肠子，也随着哗啦啦地流了一地。她的目光混浊，很明显她的生命力正在飞速地耗损消散，但她还是依然笑着，脸色惨淡如同金纸，“我高兴的是，呵呵……呵呵呵呵呵……”她腹腔里又滚出了两坨内脏，看不清楚是什么器官，“啪嗒啪嗒”掉在结冰的地上，空气里是让人窒息的血腥味，“我高兴的是……今天，大家都要死在这里了呢。”她的双脚，突然又断成了四五截，空气里突然闪过几道又薄又迅捷的亮光，随后莉吉尔整个人就像一堆碎块一样堆在地上。她长长的头发浸泡在她的血浆和内脏里，她的一颗头颅此刻堆在她尸体的碎片上，依然还在说话，看起来说不出地阴森恐怖，“来的不是……是……我们得到的情报，都错了呀……” 说完，她的头从中间裂成了两半，两颗眼珠啪啪地爆炸出两朵璀璨的冰花。 神音和麒零在恐惧里僵硬地回过头，不知道什么时候，神斯的胸口，已经爆炸出了一堆巨大而璀璨的冰凌，仿佛汹涌盛开的食人花一样，锋利而坚硬的花瓣，从胸口拥挤而出，内脏和肠子，挂在钻石一般的冰雪上，冒着滚滚的热气，过了一会儿，就结成了冰。 银尘上一次走进这个叫做的巨大殿堂建筑时，是三年前。 三年过去了，这里依然没有任何的变化。高耸入云的尖顶，辽阔无比的中庭，高高的院墙仿佛巨大的山崖，将宫殿围绕其中，整个建筑修建在巨大的山峰上，看上去已经快要刺破蓝天的塔尖，牵引着无限魂力的磁场，仿佛隐形的雷暴。 这栋建筑，被称为帝都格兰尔特的。它庞大而又诡谲地耸立在帝都的正中央山峰上。 它的方圆一公里之内，几乎没有任何的平民百姓。 所有的子民沿着山脚而居，整个城市也以为中心，朝周围繁衍扩张。 它是皇室帝王居住的中心。它代表着格兰尔特最高的高度，它那几栋银白的尖顶，永远笼罩在云雾里面。偶尔有巨大的飞鸟从它的旁边飞过。嘹亮的神乐也来自于顶端的钟楼，每天早晨，婉转的赞美诗般的旋律，都会笼罩整个格兰尔特。 但只有极少数的人知道，帝都真正的中心，是在这座的地底。以地面为对称中心线的地下，有一座一模一样的倒立建筑在大地深处的宫殿。 而银尘，此时就在这个倒立建筑的最深处。 这个最深处的地方，叫做。 银尘站在空旷的大殿中间。周围都是萦绕着光芒的巨大墙壁，上面都是密密麻麻复杂而又巧夺天工的花纹雕刻，头顶是巨大的穹顶——虽然是倒立在地底深处，却依然有明亮的光线，从上面投射下来。这是这个里凝聚的巨大魂力。 银尘走在大殿里，空间太过巨大，他的脚步声听起来带着幽然的回声，像是来自深深的峡谷深处。空气里庞大的寂静，有一种类似神迹般让人无法呼吸的凝重感。 而真正的神迹，则是此刻银尘所站立的脚下的地面。 一整块地面都是一面巨大的没有拼接缝隙的原始水晶，空旷的大殿地面，是由这样一整块巨大的水晶所充当的。没有人会怀疑这是神的力量，因为没有任何的人工力量，可以开凿制造这么巨大而完整的一块水晶地面。 仔细看的话，会发现水晶从表面到可见的深处，都镂刻着发亮的纹路，这些都是上古时代就传承下来的关于魂力的秘密。 而知道这些秘密的人，是这个国家唯一的三个。 他们三个，似乎从这个大殿修建之时，就一直在这里——他们的生命是一个永恒的谜，没有人知道他们活了多久，也没有人知道他们什么时候就存在在了这里，也没有人知道为什么他们会一直被困在这个水晶里面。他们就是以这样一种让人觉得恐惧的方式千万年地存在着： 他们三个仰面躺在水晶的深处，位置在大殿的正中心，彼此的头对立在一起，形成一个三棱的花纹，他们本身，就是这个巨大水晶的一个刻纹——他们的身体被巨大的水晶体包容其中，他们的身上穿着一种独特的服饰，类似于战斗铠甲，但是又完全不是亚斯蓝的服饰风格，他们露出衣服之外的只有手和头部，但是，可能是经过太长的时间，他们的脸，看上去都像是水晶的一个部分，透明的，没有瑕疵的，三张一模一样的像是用水晶做成的脸，他们双眼紧闭，没有任何的表情，沉睡在水晶的深处。谁都不知道这块水晶有多厚多深，在他们身体下面，一直看下去，光线就渐渐昏暗，最终变成一片漆黑的深渊。 两个男祭司，一个女祭司。 他们穿着高贵而又复杂的服饰，带着天神般的容貌，永恒地凝固在这块巨大的魂力水晶之中。 银尘走到他们面前，跪下来。 不知来自哪儿的声音，缥缈地充盈着整个大殿。 银尘低头凝听着，他知道这个神迹般的声音，来自三个共同的魂魄。 “银尘，你现在脚下出现的这个地图，是在亚斯蓝帝国西边的一个叫做福泽的小镇。” 银尘低头看着自己脚下的那块巨大水晶，水晶地面之下，浮现出来一张由发亮的光线勾勒出来的地图，上面出现了几个蓝色的亮点，和三个血红色的亮点。 “银尘，我们需要你前往这个小镇，寻找一个叫做麒零的少年。他是最新的一个。” “好，我现在就去。”银尘抬起头，看着水晶深处沉睡着的三个祭司，又看了看地图上那三个正发出血红光亮的红点，他如同冰雪般冷漠而完美的脸上，露出了微微复杂的表情。他动了动他刀锋般薄薄的嘴唇，说：“但是祭司大人，为什么，会有三个出现在这个小镇上？”银尘的瞳孔像是白银一样。 “错了。银尘，你前往那里，那里只会有你一个。这三个看上去具有魂力级别的红点，一个是魂兽，一个是你的麒零。” “还有一个呢，那个红点，”银尘望着沉睡在水晶里的祭司，一字一句地问，“它是什么东西？”
