On the Seven Towers

While the two were discussing, there was another movement over there.

"Your Majesty, the time is almost up. Please lie down on the stone bed in the middle." Demian said.

The king said to the only two remaining guards around him: "You remember, what should you do if I die here due to an accident."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two looked at Demian coldly.

"Please rest assured, I will not joke with my life." Demian led the king to the magic circle and handed a crystal bottle to the king's hand. "Please drink this bottle of potion, and then you will You will lose consciousness temporarily, otherwise the whole process will be very painful, and the resulting shaking or loss of body control will increase the probability of unnecessary failure.”

The king sneered, threw the bottle back into Demian's hand, lay down on the stone platform and said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's get started."

An imperceptible smile flashed across Demian's face under his hood. Summoned a book with a black background and gold edges from his storage ring. He gently raised his hand, and the book floated in front of him, unfolded slowly, and then emitted purple light like the magic circle.

Demian manipulated the magic circle, and soon light flowed out of the magic circle and connected with the book, forming a whole.

Xiao Chen and Luo Ling had already found a position with their backs to everyone in the room, and were ready to attack, waiting for the opportunity. For a mage, the moment when he controls the magic circle is naturally the weakest time.

But the appearance of this book surprised them all.

"Wait, that book! It feels very familiar to me." Luo Ling said.

"Gathering Spirit List?" Xiao Chen recognized the four characters on the book, "Both the name and the shape, it looks like a holy book."

"Isn't your Tasia an expert on the history of the Seven Towers? Go and ask!"

————————————————————

Meditation World, Tasia's Room. When Xiao Chen appeared here again, Tasia's position barely moved. She was afraid that he would not find her, so she kept waiting there.

Seeing Xiao Chen, a hint of joy appeared on her face: "How's it going?"

"It's a long story..." After Xiao Chen told Tasia their findings, she was not particularly surprised.

"In our circle, there have been rumors that Dean II is suffering from physical failure. It is said that it is because he forcibly improved his realm when he was young and used many medicines. Although there is no big problem from the external symptoms, but It is said that he will not last more than a few years, so it is not surprising that he would find a way to extend his life.

I have also heard of this Demian, who is probably the most talented mage among the younger generation in the Tower of Healers and reached the high level at the age of twenty-five. However, I heard that his mentor, Master Almeida, didn't like his daily research very much, so he later moved out of the Tower of Healers and lived alone. The expenses of various researches were sponsored by the royal family. If the king seeks help from the Tower of the Healer to no avail, it is very likely that he will find him and go astray. "

"No wonder the king looks so familiar to him."

"But the fact that Demian you are talking about actually took out the "Gathering Soul List" is a big problem."

"Is this a holy book?"

"That's right!" Tasia looked a little anxious, "The "Spirit Gathering Book" is one of the two sacred books of the Spirit Tower. Together with the other "Spirit Creation Picture Book", it constitutes the life and death books of the Spirit Tower. "The Picture Book of Creating Souls" is the book of life, while "The Book of Souls Gathering" is the real book of death."

"Sounds dangerous?"

"The function of the "Soul Gathering Register" is to collect the fresh souls of living beings, and then place them in the pages of the holy book. When necessary, these souls can be released into the bodies of the dead, and they can become undead warriors in various forms. Even if Without bodies, they can also fight as ghost warriors and ghost mages.

It is different from the undead summoned by ordinary necromancers at once. The souls in the Holy Code will continue to grow, becoming stronger and stronger in the process of constantly changing bodies to fight. It is said that the more powerful souls can transform an ordinary skeleton into a high-level skeleton warrior or mage at the moment of controlling it. "

Xiao Chen did not expect that "The List of Souls" would be such an evil book, "In other words, it requires a large number of souls of the dead?!"

"Yes, according to records, the more powerful the soul will be, the more powerful it will be after it is collected. Ordinary souls can be used to collect, or they can be devoured by those powerful souls and become the nourishment of powerful souls."

"Then do you know what these two magic circles are?" Xiao Chen became a little nervous.

"What kind of magic circle?"

Xiao Chen grabbed a handful of sand, quickly made it into a model of the magic circle, and showed it to the other party.

"I can't be sure of the exact functions of these two magic circles, but according to records, there is indeed a magic circle that is matched with the "Spirit Gathering List", which is called the soul stripping magic circle. In this magic circle, the weak and dying person can The soul will be easily extracted, and then stabilized by magic, and collected more completely by the "Spirit Gathering List". In other words, with the help of this magic circle, the quality of the soul obtained will be higher. I didn’t say that the magic circle was double-layered,” Tasia recalled, “According to what you said, this Demian may be combined with other magic circles, but no matter what, what he wants to do is very important. It may be that he selects and cultivates the souls with better growth potential among the newly dead souls, or he wants to use the souls of ordinary people to nourish the souls of the strong ones already in his "Spirit Gathering List."

"Asshole, then I have to go, I have to stop him." Xiao Chen's figure quickly disappeared.

"Remember, mental magic is the most useful spell to restrain the undead." Tasia shouted the moment he disappeared.

——————————————————

Xiao Chen conveyed Tasia's opinion as quickly as possible.

"We must take action. Let's start." Luo Ling was about to start releasing magic.

But at this time, something strange happened in the field. The purple energy on the ground magic circle suddenly condensed into several ropes, entangled the king's body and the stone platform under him.

"What's going on?" The king found that his body was tied up and struggled a few times, but the energy ropes did not move at all.

A guard shouted loudly: "Demian, what are you doing."

"Your Majesty, don't panic, this is part of the magic, the energy of these ropes will slowly penetrate into your body and replenish your body with energy, please relax and don't struggle." Demian said.

"Demian, I don't like this way, let me go first!" The king said in a deep voice.

"Did you hear me! Let go of your majesty." The two guards drew their swords and were about to force their way up.

"Okay, we can start over." Demian pretended to untie the ropes for the king, but neither the king nor the guards noticed, and two purple ropes appeared again from the magic circle on the ground, went around the back and suddenly attacked the two guards, tying them up neatly.
