At around nine o'clock in the morning, Colin arrived at Darren's Trust House.
He wore a white simple mask on his face, with only his eyes and nose exposed. An invisible force enveloped his whole body, preventing others from seeing his true appearance and aura.
The sorceress at the commission led him towards the outside of the stronghold and got into a black carriage.
The location of this meeting is not at this stronghold, but somewhere else.
This was not for the sake of confidentiality. After all, even though he was sitting in a carriage, Colin could still clearly sense the direction and distance of the carriage.
Just meet somewhere else.
About ten minutes later, the carriage slowly stopped, and Colin stepped down. What he saw was an ordinary mansion...perhaps it was temporarily rented?
The witches from Darren's Commission did not go in together. Under the leadership of the maid, Colin walked through the front yard and finally saw the client of this exclusive mission in the living room.
"Your Excellency the Wood Demon." The client greeted. He was not wearing a mask and looked like a middle-aged man, except that his eyebrows and hair were white.
This kind of white color is somewhat similar to Xue Lai's hair, but it is far less smooth and shiny than Xue Lai's hair, and is much darker.
"Just call me Yin Xiduo." The white-browed wizard continued, and then went straight to the topic without any greetings:
"This time I invite you to come and say that we are customizing witchcraft, but the specific circumstances are a little different."
As he spoke, he took out a confidentiality contract from his body.
"To be more specific, please sign this contract and I will discuss it with you in detail."
Colin behind the mask couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Don't worry, sir, the content of the contract is just that you keep the rest of the conversation confidential, nothing else."
Yin Xiduo explained. Seeing that Colin was still hesitant, he continued:
"You don't have to think too much, it's not something dangerous, it's just because it involves my personal privacy."
Colin's brows relaxed slightly, and he took the contract from Yin Xiduo's hand and looked at it carefully.
If it is for personal privacy confidentiality, it is understandable. Some people are indeed more particular about this aspect.
Of course, if it was just an ordinary entrustment with a reward of 100,000 magic stones, Colin would have gotten up and left long ago, but after all, this time it was 500,000 magic stones, and he was willing to be more patient.
After carefully checking that there were no problems with the contract, Colin nodded slightly and signed the contract.
"Now you can tell me what the content of this mission is."
Yin Xiduo nodded and did not say directly, but asked: "I wonder if Mr. Wood Demon has done any research on the ice element?"
"Know a thing or two," Colin replied.
"Your Excellency, you are humble." Yin Xiduo smiled, "The elemental life-enhancing witchcraft that your Excellency, Wood Demon, handed over last time, the ingenuity in it amazes me!"
Colin smiled, thought for a moment and said, "According to Darren's commission, this commission should still be related to elemental life, and you mentioned the ice element...?"
"It is indeed related to the ice element, but the specific situation is a bit complicated." Yin Xiduo smiled, then stood up slowly: "Please follow me, you will know as soon as we see you."
The two of them walked along the corridor toward the depths of the house.
Not long after, they came to a black iron door and Yin Xiduo opened the door in front of him.
A passage leading underground was exposed.
Yin Xiduo took the lead and walked underground. The bright crystals on the wall lit up one after another, illuminating the gray and white stone stairs going down.
The light was not strong, and the basement was still a little dim.
Colin looked at Yin Xiduo's figure in front of him, cheered up and kept guessing.
"It has something to do with the ice element..."
However, before Colin could think of anything, he had already walked down the stairs. His steps paused slightly, and there was some surprise in his blue eyes.
In the center of the vast basement illuminated by bright crystals, a space of about
There was a huge blue round icicle four meters high standing alone, with the top almost touching the ceiling. A white cold air blew in, and a light layer of white frost adhered to the gray floor.
Yin Xiduo slowly turned around, and as he waved his hand to disperse the white cold air, the surprise in Colin's eyes turned into disbelief in an instant.
Among the huge icicles was a young humanoid figure!
The face of a little girl about three or four years old, with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was sleeping soundly, a small figure, and translucent skin like a layer of white frost. Apart from the face, the rest of the face only has a rough human shape, without details.
At this time, she was clearly located among the solid icicles, but she seemed to be in the water. Her small body swayed slightly, and she seemed to be able to freely shuttle through the ice.
"Is this... some kind of special ice element?" Colin paused and said, his eyes still falling on the icicle in front of him.
"Yes, but not." Yin Xiduo walked to the icicle, gently rubbed it for a moment, and whispered: "I would rather call her a miracle, a miracle brought to me by witchcraft."
Colin was a little confused. He looked at Yin Xiduo, and his jaw dropped in shock at the latter's next words.
"She is alive and a truly independent life."
Yin Xiduo stared at the icicle, the eyelids of the "miracle" inside moved slightly, as if it was about to wake up.
Yin Xiduo quickly removed his palm and waved gently.
call--
Suddenly the witchcraft array shimmered in the corners around the basement, and a burst of cold air poured into the icicles in front of them, causing the miracle inside to become silent again.
Yin Xiduo breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked at Colin and said:
"I know what you want to ask. Indeed, wizards lost the ability to summon real life thousands of years ago. Now the witchcraft of summoning elements should actually be called puppetry.
We are creating elements, not summoning them from somewhere."
"But "Miracle" is indeed a truly independent life. She was born from an ordinary experiment of summoning ice elements. I was learning the witchcraft of summoning ice elements at the time, and the material I used was indigo cold crystal that I had finally obtained.
Witchcraft is just the most common Riker summoning the ice element... Well, in short, it was an accident, and I couldn't reproduce it no matter how many times I reproduced it...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But no matter what, I am 100% sure that "Miracle" is an independent life! She showed amazing learning ability and self-awareness when I created it.
Yes, she has self-awareness! Real self-awareness, not a pre-set elemental core!"
Yin Xiduo's tone was a little fanatical, and his white hair continued to float as his head shook.
"You mean, she has a soul?" Colin was stunned and asked dubiously.
This is really amazing. The creation of life has always been more of a gimmick than a reality.
Wizards have long discovered that although they can create beings that can move freely and even have thoughts, they cannot truly create souls.
If you want to create a life with true self-awareness, then the raw materials must include souls, just like those silent shadows. Strictly speaking, they are independent lives with souls.
"I don't know." Yin Xiduo calmed down after hearing his question. After a while, he shook his head and said honestly: "I can't detect her soul. It's like a fog. I can't be sure whether there is one or not."
No."
"So, it's just your speculation that she has a soul?" Colin breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to creating a real life, it is easier to accept the accidental creation of a special ice element.
Yin Xiduo looked at Colin and opened his mouth, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but in the end he did not refute.
Colin was not the first wizard he had found, nor was he the first wizard to question whether Miracle had a soul... and he did not want to spend more energy to refute it.
Yin Xiduo looked at the icicles around him. No matter what, he always believed that the miracle must be a real life and must have a soul!
There was silence in the basement
carve.
"As you can see, Lord Wood Demon." Yin Xiduo continued,
"Although Miracle is an independent life, it cannot maintain its own existence. I have been looking for ways before, but I have never been able to prevent her from dissipating. I can only slow down her disappearance through the witch formation and some rare frost treasures.
speed."
"But this is just a temporary measure after all." Yin Xiduo turned around, "In fact, if it weren't for the miracle of using the elemental life-enhancing witchcraft entrusted by Your Excellency, she would have dissipated."
"It was precisely because of the effectiveness of elemental life-enhancing witchcraft that I came up with the idea of whether the miracle dissipation could be completely solved through witchcraft."
"So, Lord Wood Demon, the request is to solve the problem of the dissipation of miracles... no matter what method is used."
