Chapter 35: Detaining the Spirit and Sending Generals/Why the two of you?
The illusory image of the half-elf trembled as if it had been exposed to extreme cold. He looked handsome, but the cold chill of the eternal night had already tortured him to the point of unconsciousness.
His trembling voice answered:
"I am a senior researcher of the [Mechanic Church Schism], an artificer who is good at making magic items."
When Xia Bron heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned:
"You should know that [the Insurgency] have a bad reputation, right?"
The half-elf's soul trembled and nodded in the air:
“I was just an ordinary mechanical believer in the beginning. I didn’t believe the so-called legend that ‘the machine god is dead and broken’. I just obeyed the wishes of my friends and verbally agreed to join the [Mechanical Church Schism].
"Until...until when I participated in one of their activities, the Oracle's daughter summoned in front of us..."
Halfway through the words, the soul of the half-elf magician seemed to recall some horrific scene, but he shivered in the air and remained silent.
Xia Bailun's green eyes surged with cold light, his eyes were sharp, and he asked:
"What was summoned? What did that oracle girl you mentioned summoned?"
Under the pressure of the dagger owner, the half-elf finally continued:
"She summoned...
"The dead machine soul of the God of Machinery!
"The God of Machinery among the nine gods is actually dead, and his body was torn into pieces. A few of the broken remains became corpses of gods floating in the astral plane, while most of them were scattered all over the place, and were even controlled by other gods.
"Her remaining unconscious machine soul has been transformed into a [Contracted Spirit], which was summoned by the red-haired shrine maiden we call the Oracle's daughter using the [Remaining Soul Contract]."
What?
The "God of Machinery" among the Nine Gods is dead?
"God is broken", this is indeed the consistent rhetoric of the [Mechanic Church schismatics].
What shocked Chabron even more was that it was the so-called "oracle girl" and "red-haired witch" who could summon the soul of a dead machine in a mortal body.
On the planet Rioli now, the [Spiritual Contractor] profession still exists?
Xia Bron thought that the skills of the spirit bond master had been lost long ago.
---------------
The Pact Master is a very special type of magician.
Among the legal professions, magicians are a very special category. They pursue unspeakable forbidden knowledge on the edge of reason like moths to a flame, and gain power by signing contracts with certain beings that transcend material reality.
The most common three types of magic contracts are [Evil Contract], [Star Contract] and [Fairy Contract]. The masters of the three usually correspond to the Demon Lord/Great Devil, Ancient Evil Object/Old Ruler/Demon Star, and the Supreme Fairy respectively.
.
But the sorcery contract signed by the spirit contract masters is a unique [remaining spirit contract]. The spirit contract sorcerers do not make a contract with any single specific entity, but choose to make contracts with many [contract spirits]!
Contracted Spirits are the remnant souls of heroic spirits that are between existence and destruction. After the death of great figures and even gods who have left traces in the long history, if they are in a special state, they may be transformed into [Contracted Spirits] wandering in the void. Spirits
The Covenant can summon them from the pores of history, invite their spirits to come to their bodies, and gain the power of the corresponding legendary characters.
However, due to reasons that are still widely discussed, a thousand years ago, the Spirit Pact Master was wanted by almost all the Nine Gods Religion and was wanted to be surrounded and suppressed!
All the documents that recorded how to make a [Soul Pact] and become a Spirit Contractor were burned by the priests and paladins of the Order of the Gods.
The inheritance of the [Soul Contract] was cut off centuries ago.
There is no more spiritual bond master in this world.
It is precisely because of this that Chabron was very surprised when he heard that this "daughter of the oracle", the "red-haired witch", was actually a living spiritual contract master.
----------------
From the words of the half-elf artificer, Xia Bron seemed to vaguely sense part of the reason why the spiritual contract masters were once captured by the Order of the Gods.
Chabron then asked:
"If it is true as you say, the machine god is dead.
"Then who is the God of Machines who has been receiving prayers and sending down oracles all these years?"
This may involve the secret behind [3-075]!
The half-elf trembled violently again, as if he had encountered a biting extreme cold:
"Noble master, if I tell you all the truth, will you release me? Release me from this cold, dark and chilling space."
Under the eternal darkness, Chabron nodded:
"certainly."
After receiving the affirmation, the handsome half-elf artificer replied:
"[The Insurgency] also have different opinions on this. Most of them believe that the so-called God of Machinery is just the largest fragment or part of the broken God.
"But Anneway, the daughter of the Oracle, once hinted to me in private that another god obtained the broken parts of the God and usurped the position of the God of Machinery. He pretended to be her and sent down the Oracle!
"I dare not say her name..."
Anneway? Why does the pronunciation of this common language name sound familiar? Chabron thought.
Under the eternal night, Chabron's green eyes shine brightly:
"Just say the pretender's name boldly."
[Betrayer's Fang] is an item held by Shabron. It will also be covered by the abnormal effects on him and can block the divine consciousness of the Nine Gods.
"The pretender who has usurped the position of the God of Machinery, mastered God's largest part, and controlled the church in her name is...
"The Lord of Order, the Emperor of Law, the King of Kings, the Convict, the Ruler of Nations, the Eye of Endless Surveillance, the Black Emperor, and His Majesty the Divine Emperor of the Eastern Continent——
"King of Kings!"
Why is it her again?
After getting the answer he wanted, Chabron asked a series of questions.
From this, Chabron learned that the half-elf artificer was killed in a surprise attack by a sorceress killer—probably the one who attacked him—shortly after arriving at Rainbow Castle.
"This is the last question, and then I will release you so that you can escape from here and be reincarnated into the outer plane."
"Praise to the noble master, you, you are my great benefactor. Please ask questions."
The half-elf waited quietly for the final question.
"What is your last wish?"
"What?"
The handsome half-elf soul looked horrified as if he had been struck by lightning. He seemed to have never expected that the owner of the "Betrayer's Fang" would ask himself such a question.
"What is your last wish?" As if worried that the other party did not hear clearly, Chabron repeated the question again.
The illusive and translucent eyes of the half-elf soul actually filled with tears:
"I don't have any last wishes. The only thing I care about now is the daughter of the oracle, the spiritual binder, Miss Anneway. She once treated me well and told me such an expensive truth, so that I no longer indulge in
Worship of false gods.
"However, I failed to complete what she asked me to do - to send a message to the two people in the Star Vault King's Territory/Thousand Layers City Rainbow Castle."
Chabron floated above the soul, looking down at the crystal soul below him:
"I can send a message for you."
The soul immediately waved his hand in a hurry and rejected the good intention:
"No, no, no, I dare not ask you to help me complete the message. These contents will bring you...unnecessary risks."
Chabron looked very firm:
"You can tell me the person and content of the message, and I will weigh the risks myself."
Hearing this, the soul of the half-elf weapon master said:
"The difference between the two message recipients is,
"[1] The Bishop of the Eternal Light Temple of Rainbow Castle, Mera, the Priest of Knowledge!
"[2] Associate Professor of the Royal Academy of Magic, member of the Arcane Federation, dwarf mage, Duncan Flashstone!"
