Heart of the Castle

Chapter 801 Faith confrontation, life and death choice

The first step of the "Delvarez Soul Guidance" ceremony lasted for half an hour - or 100 years - at least Master Youyue who watched the ceremony and Sir Rodriguez who came later Everyone has this illusion.When Levi Stern's voice calling for Fleischer suddenly stopped, they even thought that the young regent had finally been overworked and had to stop for a few minutes to rest.

But the scene that happened afterwards made this idea dissipate.

All the alchemy magic circles with a radius of hundreds of meters emitted a faint light at the same time, and it became more and more intense as time passed. The golden, silver and red light beams were intertwined, looking from a distance, it seemed to be in the sky Suddenly, a magnificent brocade picture scroll unfolded.

"Master Levi has successfully entered the spiritual world of Queen Fleischer, and the next step is the most critical part of the ceremony, awakening her self-consciousness that has fallen asleep due to the broken soul." Mr. Dishe explained softly, and at the same time Move your steps carefully, and observe carefully around the alchemy magic circle from the outer edge.

Mr. Dish concentrated on his own observation, lest there be any flaws in the operation of the magic circle.The same is true for Sir Rodriguez and Master Youyue. Every sudden change of light tugs at their heartstrings, making Mr. Dish's fingers twitch anxiously, making the Scourge Knight grip the hilt of the star-iron giant sword tightly, or making Mr. Master You Yue's teeth chattered.

The light curtain rising from the alchemy magic circle flickered at a frightening speed at first, then the golden light was dazzling, like the scorching sun in the sky; It was a scar bubbling with blood; in an instant, it turned into a sea of ​​silver flames, with bursts of golden and red hurricanes sweeping across it.However, as the time passed by every minute and every second, the flickering speed of the light curtain changed from sharp to slow, and finally fixed on a screen where the golden, silver and red lights each accounted for one-third.

Mr. Dishe breathed a sigh of relief, maybe the gods in the sky were really merciful, and they were moved by Liveston's sincerity.The unimaginably complicated alchemy magic circle was running very smoothly, even the legendary powerhouse Sir Rodriguez felt the shocking powerful energy flowing in the network formed by the alchemy magic circle, it was so gentle that it was unbelievable .

But Mr. Dish's tension was not much relieved.Since the great Grandmaster Figo Delvarez fell in this alchemy ceremony designed by himself, all those who dare to challenge the "Delvarez Soul Traction" are masters with outstanding achievements in alchemy , Due to the drawing error of the magic circle, the possibility of failure due to operational failure is not high. According to the relevant classics, there are only three times in total.

However, due to the failure to repair the soul, there are as many as twelve records of the caster's fall.

Sir Rodriguez approached with a worried face, "Old Dish, is there something wrong with the alchemy ceremony? Why did the light curtain stop flickering?"

"It's a good thing that the light curtain stops flashing. It means that Master Levi's soul has officially entered Fleischer's spiritual world, and the operation of the entire magic circle is normal." Mr. Dish replied that the situation is still good, but The tone was quite dignified, and people couldn't feel any comfort from it. "What I'm worried about now is that Master Levi is too young after all, and there is an evil artifact, the Soul Breaker hidden in Fleisher's spiritual world. In the process of awakening Fleisher's dormant consciousness, he said Maybe... no, it will definitely be disturbed by the Soul Breaker."

"Then what are we still doing here?" Sir Rodriguez almost pulled out the giant iron star sword from its scabbard. He gritted his teeth, and every word he said seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. The same, "How can I help Master Li Wei?"

"With all due respect, Sir Rodriguez".Master Youyue interjected sharply, "Even if it is an ordinary alchemy ceremony, laymen can't intervene casually, let alone Delvarez's soul traction. The only place you can help is to wait quietly here."

A palpitating strong green glow suddenly burst out from the eyes of the condemned knight, and Master Youyue remembered that what he was facing was not just an anxious companion, but also an extremely powerful legendary death knight. He took a half step back with a pale face.However, Sir Rodriguez just let out a cold snort, then turned around and walked tens of meters away. It seemed that he was really afraid that any problems in the alchemy ceremony would be caused by him.

Master Youyue was secretly surprised. He regretted his recklessness, and he never thought that Sir Rodriguez could achieve such a level. It seemed that he was a little too excited.In the following time, the master of dark alchemy followed behind Mr. Dish, devoting all his energy to the observation of the alchemy magic circle.

Li Weiston knelt and sat in the core area of ​​the alchemy magic circle like a stone statue, letting all kinds of lights flicker past his body, his breathing has become extremely weak, and the original rosy cheeks have gradually disappeared. Bloody, and finally turned as pale as paper, like Queen Frasier lying on the ground.

This is what a body without a soul looks like.

If there is no effect of this huge and complex alchemy magic circle to isolate space, then Levi Stone will lose his life within a few minutes after the soul completely leaves the body, which is the maximum that Delvarez's soul pulling magic circle can bring. help.Even so, any slight disturbance like the wind and grass may cause accidents in the operation of the magic circle, and eventually lead to irreversible consequences.

Mr. Dish had already described all these dangers in detail to Levi's Stone, but the young regent did not take them to heart at all. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to awaken Flaisher's deep sleep. Sleeping consciousness, and then try to restore her soul.

It was because of such pure and persistent belief that when the strange attraction suddenly struck and dragged his soul out of his body, Li Wei's heart remained absolutely calm, even with a slight smile on his face. smile.

Even the well-informed red-robed old scholar Master Sugad could not explain the feeling of the soul leaving the body, and there was no relevant record in the oldest books hidden in the great library of the Learners Guild.Oddly enough, records of those who came back from the dead, although extremely rare—and a large number of them are attributed to miracles of the gods—at least can be seen.Li Wei once expressed puzzlement about this point, but now he understands why. No matter what words he uses, it is difficult to describe that feeling. It seems that time and space have lost their meaning at the same time, and everything around them has become alienated. The motionless black-and-white picture was then covered by a gray-white mist that was so thick that you couldn't see your fingers.

After a long time - it's actually hard to judge, maybe it's only a few minutes, Li Wei felt that his soul had regained his entity, and the weight of the armor came from his body, and when his arms were down, he could easily hold Holds the hard hilt of the knight's sword.But this might just be an illusion, because the white mist in front of him still hasn't dissipated, and it's fluctuating slightly, as if there's something surging inside.

Li Wei stood quietly for a while, until he was sure that waiting like this would be meaningless.This world—whether it is Fleischer's spiritual world or not—has not changed because of his arrival, and he must take a risk and start to act to find an opportunity that can cause changes or awaken Fleischer's dormant consciousness.

The ground under his feet was very soft, but it was not soil, but some kind of unknown gray dust. Li Wei took a step forward, and the gray dust rose up, lingering around him in fine detail.Li Wei noticed that this kind of dust does not have any pungent earthy smell, and it has some kind of wonderful influence, which makes people's mind become very peaceful, and at the same time, their thinking becomes quick and jumpy, like a dog being chased by a hunting dog rabbit.

"This is really a great pioneering work. The alchemy ceremony that even Grandmaster Figo failed to succeed has become a reality in my hands." An inflated sense of pride filled Levi's chest, making his footsteps a little fluttering .But Li Wei soon felt that something was wrong, he shook his head vigorously, and said loudly to himself, "No, it is far from successful, I want to wake up Fleischer's sleeping consciousness and find a way to repair her damaged soul .”

"Admit the reality, Levi Stone, the alchemy ceremony has been successful, this is the spiritual world of Fleischer. There is nothing, a blank, it is impossible for the broken soul to heal as before, let alone dissipate awakened from its eternal slumber."

"...Wake Up Fleischer..."

"Fortunately, the success of this alchemy ceremony ushered in a new era. Although Grandmaster Figo invented this ceremony, the one who pushed it to glory in the end is...Li Weiston, my name, will surely It has a place in the history of alchemy and is admired by countless alchemists."

"Fleischer..."

The young regent suddenly exhausted all his strength and uttered an earth-shattering roar, "What great achievements, what admiration, go away! All I want is to wake up Fleischer!" The sound waves hit the surrounding white people like substance. The fog rippled layer by layer, pushing out an area without a trace of fog.

Li Weiston immediately drew his sword out of its sheath, and scanned the surroundings with angry eyes, "Soul Breaker, don't try to make me give up, let alone face a magic item created by a false god, that is, Dimalit of the Endless Dark Sun. Come here, don't even think about stopping me!"

A burst of familiar giggles came, and the white mist gradually condensed together, forming an image of a curvaceous female knight, riding an illusory steed that was condensed by mist.Levi took a step back, raised his eyes, and was surprised to find that the appearance of this female knight was the same as that of Fleisher, except that everything was composed of gray shadows, including the flowing hair and the hanging around the waist. oath and sword of victory.

"Fleischer?" Li Wei blurted out, but immediately frowned, "No, you are the Soul Breaker, an evil artifact forged by the Lord of the Dark Sun."

"You are wrong, my dear Levi Stone." Gray Shadow's tone was surprisingly gentle, without any trace of hostility, but rather like whispers between lovers, "I am Freyhill Kingsworth, your queen, your love."

Although Li Wei's expression didn't change, he undoubtedly suffered a heavy blow in his heart, "Soulbreaker, don't you try to deceive me!" The young regent raised his long sword and pointed it straight at the gray shadow's head, "From Fleischer Get out of your body, otherwise, I will give you complete destruction!"

"Heh..." The gray shadow seemed to be pleased by Li Wei's anger, "My dear Levi Ston, you must have forgotten something, right? That's right, I am a soul breaker, but I am also a Fleischer, it was I who fused and repaired Fleischer's broken soul, otherwise this body would not be able to support it at all. Now I have all of Fleischer's memories, dear Levi Stern, also Have all her feelings."

Li Wei clenched his fists involuntarily, with such force that he felt a dull pain in his fingers.This is exactly the worst possibility he was afraid of—the soul breaker fused with Fleischer's soul, the female knight who once loved him deeply and was deeply loved by him has disappeared forever in this world, even the soul None of them have been able to step into the eternal night kingdom of the eternal sleep guide and enjoy the dreamless eternal sleep.

"You're lying, Soul Breaker!" Li Wei's tone was as hard as a gravel, and then he took a step forward. With the sound of metal clanging, the silver-white battle qi light suddenly bloomed from behind him, as if he opened his mouth. Two huge wings of light. "Get out of Fleischer's body! Otherwise, die, I won't say it a second time!"

Under the illumination and deterrence of the silver-white sacrificial grudge, the smoky steed under Gray Shadow's crotch snorted uncomfortably, and then took two steps back.However, the gray shadow did not show any panic, instead, it stretched out its arms towards Li Wei, "Oh, what a sonorous voice, what a decisive announcement, my dear Levi Stone, come, let me submit to your control , let me burn for you!"

These words were high-pitched and clear, full of fiery emotion and eager desire, especially the tone of voice was the same as that of Fleischer's voice, which brought a greater spiritual impact to Leviston.The face of the young regent turned red immediately, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Shut up!" Li Wei managed to stabilize his emotions and yelled sharply, "You don't know what love is, you evil artifact, your heart is only cold and cruel!"

"Then, my dear, why don't you come and teach me? Teach me what love is, and also teach me more happy things." Gray Shadow showed a very charming smile, considering her face and Fry Hill is exactly the same, which adds to the appeal.Li Wei almost felt that his heart had been shaken, and the gray shadow in front of him seemed to have merged with Fleischer, and he put on various provocative poses.

"Think about it, I can completely obey your orders, my lover, the strong and powerful Griffin Lord, I am willing to be your servant, accept the whip of your love, and regard you as the supreme king!"

The voice of the gray shadow made Li Wei fall into contemplation. Fleischer's soul has been fused with the Soul Breaker, and they are inseparable. If the dark sun artifact is forcibly destroyed, the last trace of Fleischer will be destroyed along with it. soul.Even without taking into account the huge price that must be paid to destroy the artifact, such a result makes Levi Stone unacceptable.Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling resentment against the gods in the sky. Could it be that the fate of mortals will always be a plaything in the hands of the gods?Is this relationship doomed to be tortured on the road to death?

Perhaps the conditions proposed by the Soul Breaker can also be considered?

The Soul Breaker has merged with Fleischer's soul. In a sense, she has indeed become Queen Arthur, and now she is willing to obey orders, whether it is based on the influence of Fleischer's feelings or Soulbreaker really wants to understand the true meaning of love.If he can hold it firmly—it's a dark sun artifact, an artifact that even Mr. Dish can't help being afraid of when he talks about its name—maybe he will get additional benefits .

The gray shadow clearly saw the hesitation in Li Wei's heart. She slid off the horse with a smile, her movements were graceful and smooth, as if she was dancing some kind of wonderful dance, and then she stretched out her two slender arms towards Li Wei, wanting to Hold him tenderly in your arms.

Li Wei pulled back at the last moment, his eyes, which had been confused because of Gray Shadow's words, regained firmness and calmness, and his voice was the same. "Stop your tricks of demagogy, Soul Breaker, I refuse to have anything to do with you, the one I love is Frythir, queen of Arthur's kingdom, not manipulated by an evil consciousness Puppet! Every word you utter in her image is a blasphemy against the relationship between me and Fleischer!"

As the last word was blurted out loudly, the silver-white sword light suddenly tore apart a corner of this dim world, and the gray shadow quickly receded, so fast that it was almost hard to see clearly.However, the speed of Jianguang's attack was even faster. Accompanied by a scream like the neighing of a dying beast, the knight's sword chopped off a bunch of her long hair, and the gray hair flew into the air. Turned into that kind of gray dust.

"You rejected me!" Gray Shadow's voice suddenly turned sharp and ferocious, and now it didn't sound like Fleischer's voice at all. "Very well, Levi Stone, you will regret your choice. You are digging your own grave, and at the same time, you are destroying your beloved Fleischer with your own hands!"
