The leaders' care made the comrades feel as warm as spring.
Bai Xiaowen pretended to be flattered, but his heart was full of contempt:
"Ask the chief internal officer, Grima, to arrange it for me. Is this considered a reward for the mission? I will be rewarded with a dog tag for the resistance, a bed in the military camp of Pointed Helm City, and some pots and pans? Impossible, I will never miss such a good opportunity.
!”
Bai Xiaowen's face became heavy, and he spoke impassionedly:
"There is no need to arrange it, Lord Ursock. I left the warm Voltron and came here to liberate the North one day earlier! A comfortable life for me is just a poison that corrodes fighting spirit. What I want is
Have stronger power and devote yourself to the liberation of the Vikings."
The expressions of the people in the hall varied. Young people like Luojia and the muscular Viking men in the row on the right were all in awe, as if they were seeing moral models. The civil servants in the row on the left,
Many people looked a little strange.
Ursok coughed: "Young warrior, you still have a long way to go in the future. Don't rush to pursue power. You need to wait for the right opportunity."
"In fact, Lord Ursok...I have an opportunity now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Bai Xiaowen suddenly took out the soul stone in the lord's hall, in full view of everyone!
"I risked my life to get this soul stone. It will give me powerful power and help our cause!" Bai Xiaowen said loudly, "However, it is sealed. Lord, I beg you
Help me unlock the soul stone!"
Bai Xiaowen chose to take out the soul stone at this moment after repeated weighing.
First of all, it is impossible for Ursock and his men to report to the North County Monastery or the Imperial Knights. The two are opposing camps.
Secondly, Bai Xiaowen is a new warrior who has just made great achievements. In order to attract people's hearts, Ursock will not do anything to win people's hearts. There is no way that a hero like Ursock doesn't understand the principle of buying horse bones for a thousand dollars.
If Bai Xiaowen's soul stone is swallowed with his backhand, who will dare to join the Northern Resistance Army in the future?
The mages in the row on the left looked at the soul stone with astonishment in their eyes, and then they started whispering to each other.
Ursoc glanced at the Soul Stone.
"Kevin!" Ursok looked at the black-robed mage first on the left, "Take a look at this stone."
Black-robed mage Kevin nodded and extended his hand to Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. The soul stone was in his palm, with no intention of handing it to Kevin: "Master Kevin, I'll just show it to you."
Although Bai Xiaowen is not afraid of being robbed, he is worried that the black-robed mage Kevin will take advantage of the money and use some magic tricks to switch the package, and then say that it is an ordinary stone. Who can Bai Xiaowen cry to.
Kevin's pale face showed slight displeasure, but he still faithfully obeyed Ursock's order, closed his eyes slightly, and used his mental power to sense the soul stone.
"My lord, he is right, this is a soul stone, and it is now sealed by a very strong force," Kevin opened his eyes and said, "I can feel a lot from this soul stone.
The will of the dead. If you can fully utilize the power of this soul stone, you will definitely be able to create a powerful summoning necromancer."
The people in the hall frowned slightly. Obviously, for normal people, necromancers who manipulate dead bodies and skeletons are synonymous with being remote and gloomy, and are also objects of respect.
However, the Vikings admire strength and do not have much prejudice against necromancers. If they are imperial people who believe in the Lord of Light, I am afraid that the reaction will be more violent, and they may not even shout to kill.
Ursok asked: "Young man, are you really willing to give up the glory of a warrior and choose the disgusting necromancer as your profession?"
Bai Xiaowen said without hesitation: "My talent is more suitable for being a mage, not a warrior. No matter what kind of power it is, as long as it helps the freedom of the Vikings and the independence of the North, I will pursue it. No matter how hard I work, I will pursue it."
No matter how big a sacrifice you make, you won’t hesitate!”
Bai Xiaowen spoke impassionedly, and a group of Viking tough men nodded frequently.
Kevin's eyes seemed to scan Bai Xiaowen once, and then he said: "Lord, this young man is physically weak, but he has a strong spirit. He is indeed more suitable to be a long-range spell caster."
Ursok nodded: "It seems that I have no reason to stop it. Kevin, you are the most powerful mage in my territory, can you help him unlock the seal of the soul stone?"
Bai Xiaowen immediately looked at the black-robed mage Kevin.
It has to be said that completing the S-level job transfer mission is already a very critical step. Bai Xiaowen was still very nervous.
He was worried that the black-robed mage would pass by, and other mages would not take over. This would mean that the line of resistance was broken.
Fortunately, the black-robed mage Kevin did not shirk, but said happily: "No problem."
Huh. Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked: "Thank you, Master Kevin." He handed the soul stone to Kevin with peace of mind. Now he was no longer afraid that Kevin would cheat.
"But..." Kevin's words raised Bai Xiaowen's mind again.
Bai Xiaowen wanted to beat this sick man to death and gasped for breath when he spoke! He was afraid of words like "but, but, but" in everything, and there would definitely be no good news.
"But what?" Bai Xiaowen still asked in a cooperative manner.
Kevin glanced at the hall, surrendered to Ursok, and then said to Bai Xiaowen: "You come with me."
The two walked through the corridor and came to a study room. There were bookshelves against the wall and an experimental table with many utensils.
"Sit wherever you like, this is my laboratory."
Kevin played with the soul stone in his hand and said slowly: "You must have stolen this soul stone from Falga."
"How do you know?"
"Haha, every spell caster has a unique aura. The seal on this stone has the spiritual energy that belongs to Falga. I have met Falga before - I happened to hear that Falga came from the North County Monastery.
I stole the sealed soul stone and was chased by the royal knights, and even fled to another dimension. I didn't expect that this soul stone would be in your hands." Kevin said with emotion.
"Now it has nothing to do with Falga. It belongs to me." Bai Xiaowen emphasized.
"Relax, relax," Kevin waved his hands repeatedly, "I have no friendship with Falga, and I will not inform those bitches in the North County Abbey. I just got the news yesterday that Falga was arrested, so I
Just a few small talk - okay, now let's get back to the topic."
Kevin took down a scroll from the bookshelf and unfolded it gently. A ray of energy shone on the scroll. He placed the soul stone in the center of the scroll and said while unsealing it: "Unsealing is not difficult.
But the energy of your soul stone seems to have been exhausted. If you want to gain power, just breaking the seal is not enough."
Bai Xiaowen was overjoyed, but asked calmly: "Master Kevin, can you help me recharge my energy?"
Kevin shook his head: "The hunger of the soul stone cannot be satisfied by ordinary energy. It must devour the soul. The more powerful the soul, the more it meets the requirements. I can't help you with this. However, I can point you to a place.
.”
Bai Xiaowen was very cooperative: "Where?"
Kevin operated slowly, and after all the energy and light of the scroll dissipated and turned into a piece of waste paper, he picked up the soul stone, handed it to Bai Xiaowen, and then said: "That place is one hundred and fifty miles north of Pointed Helm City.
It is a forgotten cemetery where powerful ancient Viking warriors are buried. The souls there must meet the requirements for soul stones."
Prompt information:
"You learned about the frozen tomb from the mouth of Kevin, the chief mage of Pointed Helm City."
"Task progress has been updated."
"S-level job transfer mission: Black Soul Stone, current progress: Unsealing 1/1, charging 0/100."
Bai Xiaowen thoughtfully took the soul stone and asked: "Master Kevin, I will go to that ancient tomb to collect soul energy. Is there anything you want me to help with?"
Kevin smiled and said: "Me? No need, I have no interest in necromancy. One last thing to remind you, you must go to the ancient tomb as soon as possible."
