Chapter 861: Chapter 657: Divine Lord’s Intervention (Part 2)
Yesterday, when they painstakingly cleared level 50, three pieces of inheritance rewards appeared. In the end, they decided to let Ash choose one called “Ghost Legend – Soul Fusion”!
The Soul Fusion Miracle includes three Technique Spirits. Once Ash obtains them, the next ti he enters the Ghost Transmission, he can directly use these three Technique Spirits. This is the advantage of the Ghost Legend. Besides the Legend, there are also the Main Story and the Grand Story. Each inheritance is reduced by one once taken, and the Grand Story is the reward for clearing the Ghost Transmission.
The effect of the Soul Fusion Miracle is very simple — temporarily fuse your soul with the target’s!
Honestly, this miracle is not very practical. The reason Ash and the others chose this Legend is entirely for strategizing the inheritance. As a Guardian, Ash has the Soul Fusion Miracle. In special scenarios, he can fuse with everyone to help resist negative effects targeting the soul.
If they had the Soul Fusion Miracle before, not only could they easily endure “Soul Haunting,” but even in “Return to Childhood,” Ash could help others maintain mories!
Now, with the enhanced Soul Seal, coupled with the Soul Fusion Miracle, Ash can completely act as a shield to heal all souls!
Additionally, there are two bottles of Lightless Sanctuary Potion. Although they all have a Holy Domain, the Lightless Sanctuary Potion can further their understanding of the Holy Domain.
In fact, the Holy Domain can be further cultivated and enhanced, potentially developing into various strange abilities. For example, Qinna’s Soul Sanctuary can suppress souls, and Qikara’s Fire Sanctuary can incinerate objects within the sanctuary. However, this kind of enhancent requires a long period of accumulation, which evidently is not sothing a few novices like Ash and the others can grasp with high-level techniques.
“Ash, let’s go for dinner.”
“Coming.”
Ash went out and only saw the dusky-skinned little girl and the blonde beauty, asking curiously, “Where are the others?”
“I told them to go ahead.” Igula took two bags of Gold Coins from the Space Card: “Catch.”
“Huh?” Ash said, “Is it your birthday today? Then shouldn’t I be the one giving you money?”
“Stop blabbering, keep it so they don’t find out. At least on the surface, we are sharing hardships together,” Igula said.
Ash pondered a little and understood, “Our Technique Spirits are normally fed, we just cut their Gold Coin supplies?”
Now, they have to get quota silver and gold from Igula every day to feed the Technique Spirits, only feeding them half-full. Now Igula is giving them extra in secret, clearly showing one thing in public and doing another secretly.
Actually, Igula doesn’t have to bother with all this trouble. After all, Gwen is just a follower, and Qikara is even a slave, so even if he doesn’t care about the feelings of these two, it wouldn’t matter.
But Ash understands why Igula is doing this extra step — he neither wants Qikara and Gwen to be dissatisfied, nor does he want Ash and others to weaken their Combat Power because of this.
The result of wanting everything naturally is a deception.
Rather than saying the Swindler is petty, it’s more accurate to say he doesn’t trust Gwen and Qikara, so he wants to weaken them and deceive them.
“I thought you would only give to Ash,” Harvey received the gold bag into the Space Card.
“I actually don’t want to give any of you,” Igula said coldly, “but you all naively believe I would secretly collude with you. If I don’t give, you will instead resent , so I’m treating it as money spent to prevent disasters.”
Ash had a sudden thought, “Speaking of which, when are your birthdays? Should we hold a birthday party then?”
Harvey and Igula glanced at him, their eyes filled with the bewildernt of Blood Moonians — how can we Blood Moonians have such a thing as birthdays?
However, they also lost the desire to argue. Igula said while walking, “The Four Pillars God Sect suddenly withdrew their defenses in the past two days, abandoning several resources points. We have no more detailed intelligence, but Gwen judged that there’s a significant problem within the Four Pillars God Sect.”
“Did the rcury Wooden Horse die?”
“The death of the rcury Wooden Horse wouldn’t cause them to abandon territory,” Igula said, “but your line of thought isn’t wrong — at least many people died, causing them to lack sufficient troops to garrison so many territories, thus forcing a contraction in their defenses.”
Ash said, “But hadn’t they been in a standoff lately? How did a large number of people suddenly die?”
Igula: “There are many possibilities; perhaps a teor ca down and smote the Four Pillars God Sect? But Gwen ntioned sothing from before. She had sorted out and reported all believers in a small town aged 25 to 28 to the rcury Wooden Horse. Then, after a night, none of them ever woke up again.”
Ash frowned slightly, “The rcury Wooden Horse killed them? Why?”
“At least it wasn’t out of temporary excitent, but for so kind of benefit, and she has the ability for such large-scale slaughter of believers,” Igula shrugged, “Possibly treating the believers as consumables.”
Ash noticed sothing odd, “If that’s the case, why choose youths aged 25 to 28? If you need consumables, why not choose older people?”
“Because there are no older people in the Wasteland,” Harvey walked out of the inn, said leisurely.
“Huh?” Ash was sowhat surprised, but Igula had already anticipated it.
“When we passed a few graveyards and mass graves, I noticed,” Harvey said, “Almost all of the remains belong to those under 28 years old. Occasionally, when there are remains older than 28, they are basically Mages.”
“Is it because the frequent wars lead most people to die young?”
“That’s the main reason, but there’s also a secondary one.”
Harvey said, “I’ve studied the skeletons of ordinary people and discovered so very interesting things — starting from 25, bones begin to show grayish-white decay. The closer to 28, the larger the range of decay pollution. Even without wars, ordinary people can’t live past 28.”
