The knight in the abyss

Chapter 351 The power to shape the plane
"We just helped a respectable friend." Lancelot shook his head, looking at those purple crystals, with a trace of struggle on his face, "Elotesia, how is the soul imprisoned in this crystal?" of?"

"Generally speaking, after a creature dies, his soul will immediately separate from his body and go to the obscurity in the astral world, which is also known as the underworld in mortal population, if no demons have tampered with this soul in advance." Charm The magic saint warrior shrugged, with a look of disgust on his face, "But if you are killed in a special magic circle, the soul will not be able to leave, but will be captured by the soul container arranged in the magic circle. Some weapons and magic Items can do the same thing, and it's much easier to transfer souls between two containers."

"What about this?" Lancelot thought of something, and took out a talisman from the dimension bag.This was an item given to him by the fallen paladin Enrique before his death. There was also a crystal on it, but the color of the crystal was almost completely black, and only a tinge of purple was reflected when the light hit it.

"This is used to capture the essence of demons." The succubus paladin naturally recognized the item, "It's best not to use this on ordinary people. Souls that are too weak will be crushed by it directly. Only those strong enough It is the soul that bears the pressure within it."

"Our church has always been interested in the connection between the essence of demons and the soul." Kara Lin said with great interest, "In many ways, the two are very similar, except that the soul of a mortal will first go to the Obscure Land after death. Realm, and the essence of the demon will return to the plane of its birth-the Abyss, the Nine Hells or the Burning Hell. Considering that almost all demons can be transformed from the soul of a mortal, there is a view that the essence Its essence is soul, but infused with something... something else."

"I see, maybe this talisman will be of great use sometime in the future." Lancelot put away the talisman, and his eyes fell on the soul prisms again, "What will happen if I smash these crystals open? "

"The soul inside will be released immediately, and go to the Obscure Realm, waiting for the guidance of the envoy or the judgment of the king of the dead." Kalarin shrugged, "Why do you ask this?"

"Then what is the value of these soul prisms to the demons?" Lancelot didn't immediately answer the scholar's question, and asked Elotesia, "Is it just used to cultivate new demons? "

"No, that would be too wasteful. There are always endless primordial demons and cowards in the wild. If you need to quickly replenish a large number of troops, it is more cost-effective to buy soul worms from Hades' merchants." The succubus paladin shook Shaking his head, "The souls that can be locked in the prism usually have a certain strength. Just torturing the prisoners inside can bring a lot of fun to the demons. And through some methods, the demons can also extract power from it and use it to Strengthen yourself or do something else."

"Extracting power?" Lancelot's face became more serious, "I have heard that the devil originally stole the power from the sinner's soul to break free from the jurisdiction of the gods and establish Bator Hell. How is this? Achieved?"

"Torment." Elotesia sighed, "On the outer plane, thoughts and beliefs are powerful, and enough thoughts can even change the surrounding environment. The reason for that scenery. Likewise, strong emotions can be transformed into energy, and what better way to unleash strong emotions in the soul than torture?"

"It is said that devils are masters in this area. Their superb torture techniques can maximize the energy in the soul, while the methods of devils are much cruder." The elf priest added, "To a certain extent, Powers also draw their strength from souls."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. These words sounded a bit blasphemous, but Aramir had always been very pious.

"Why do you look at me like that?" The pastor showed a helpless expression on his face, "Only true believers can enter the Kingdom of God after death, become a petitioner, and live the life he originally dreamed of. The petitioner of the God of War dies Afterwards, they will face glorious battles every day, and will be reborn at the dawn of the next day; the petitioners of the God of Knowledge are not doing nothing every day, but have countless knowledge waiting for them to sort out and learn. Because of their beliefs and viewpoints and Belonging to the same god, their power of belief will directly converge on the corresponding god, and this is also the main source of power for many powerful gods."

"Sunie is a powerful divine power, right?" Cora asked curiously, "According to what you're saying, it's because many people believe in love that love is so powerful?"

"This is a philosophical question, to a certain extent, yes." Alamiel nodded, "But we believe in love because we have experienced its beauty, and any soul will be killed at some point." The touch of love brings joy and color to our otherwise boring and mediocre life."

Pastor Suni's words caused everyone to fall into silence, especially Elotesia, it was the first time that she seriously examined her 'transformation' process.The elven priest had offered her to join Sune's church, and she had declined, but if Aramiel extended the invitation again, the succubus would be more than happy to learn more about the fire-haired lady.

"That is to say, the souls imprisoned in these crystals will inevitably suffer terrible torture in the end. Is my understanding correct?"

Lancelot spoke again, but the meaning in his words shocked everyone.

"That's right, although they are mainly used as currency circulation, but the end must be that way." Kara Lin said with some hesitation, "Unless...someone releases them..."

"And that's exactly what I want to do." Lancelot nodded, and calmly said words worth 30 gold coins, "I think it's immoral to trade these soul prisms. Like slaves, even if we are not responsible for the torture that is ultimately inflicted, we are equally responsible for the suffering of the victims.”

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one refuted.Everyone knew that Lancelow was right, but it was indeed a huge sum of money, and no one had the courage to say no to it.

"Damn it, you know he's right!"

Brutal couldn't help but speak first.Dwarves are no less obsessed with wealth than other races, but they also have no room for ambiguity in their views on right and wrong.He raised his hammer and cried out:
"My old man used to keep saying that one day I would mess up something very valuable. It's time to let his words come true!"

　It feels like the monthly votes cast by the three book friends of Kunkutakatikatikatsuvashirasong, 96-style dried salted fish, and ok2001...this chapter...can be regarded as my understanding of the official settings plus my own brain supplement, if there is Everyone who is in conflict will pass it with a smile, don't be serious.
