goddess of revolution

Chapter 968 Averbier's mission, the power of the star sea and the soul like a warrior

The northwest of Sifern is also close to the coast of the Wrathful Ocean. Even in the spring of April, the mountains surrounding the city are still white.

Ignoring the things like telephone poles or street lamps on the street, it is completely the city side in miniature of the old era. The castle with the king's flag leaning on the short hill overlooks the city.In the turret at the top of the steeple at the highest point of the castle, the white-haired old man overlooks the castle through the stone window.

"The timing is well grasped, apprentice Lucian..."

The stone statue of an angel inlaid on the wall made a sound, and the old man quickly turned around and lowered his head, accepting the gaze of the stone statue.

Lucian said respectfully: "Thank you for your approval, my lord. The only thing I worry about now is whether we can properly handle this matter with the power we have."

The adult said: "You don't have to worry about this, we have cultivated enough legendary living souls in the past few years."

"Based on the available information, that elf is either Li Qi Prell's substitute, or a special heroic spirit created by the Crimson Lady using the Nilsera Divine Kingdom. In short, it is not a real elect."

"As long as she is drawn into the Chaos Force Field and cut off from her connection with Lady Scarlet's divine power, she can be eliminated."

Lucian was still a little uneasy: "The Chaos Force Field can indeed pretend to be the Power of Dawn, but the live broadcast of the Battle of Hell shows that the crimson believers have made great progress in the use of the power of the basic law. At that time..."

The adult said with a low smile: "Don't doubt our power of chaos. The power possessed by Romulus is just a superficial presentation. Compared with the power of chaos, the power possessed by the crimson believers is like that in the hands of primitive people." Stone knife."

Lucian had no choice but to keep saying yes, and the lord continued: "The relevant personnel need to do some cover-up to avoid Romulus' suspicion. It is up to you to cooperate through the Icewind Kingdom."

The phantom floating on the stone statue dissipated, and Lucian straightened his body.

After pondering for a while, he called his attendants: "Go and prepare... thirty identity documents, and let the king stamp them first."

The attendant remained silent, and Lucian snorted: "I forgot that I made the rules myself, let the guy sitting on the throne stamp the seal."

The servant took the order to leave, and Lucian felt relieved for the loyalty of the servant.

In the palace of Ice Wind Kingdom, he is the real master.Whether it is an attendant, servant or guard, it is not allowed to call the puppet on the throne the king, let alone your majesty.

Pressing the window sill, looking down at the castle and even the entire city further away from the stone window again, Lucian sighed with satisfaction.

Even though he is still only Agint, a trainee of Avebier, he is manipulating a country behind the scenes.

This small country called Ice Wind Kingdom is completely covered by Avebie.

No, Avebie is an unknown existence. Even his attendants, as well as the puppet sitting on the throne, only know the "Gods are not Gods Association", an organization of arcanists split from the Gods Puppet Association. .

Even Lucian himself only found out two years ago that the adults who control the loyal court, the members of Avebie, are actually arcanists.

This is also the reason why he is only a trainee so far, he must complete the transformation from bishop to arcanist.

Of course, it's not too difficult. After completing this task, he can go to the Frozen Fjord, achieve promotion through resurrection, and become an official Aegient.

From this fjord to the north along the coast, after winding for thousands of kilometers, you come to a place where the sky and the earth seem to connect.

Xuefeng was covered by thundercloud-like thick fog, and when you went deep into it, the space changed, and it was a magnificent building that was as regular as a giant steel mountain.

In the depths of the building, the former loyal cardinal wearing the black robe of the stars, now Aginte Benoit of Avebier, is talking to the vague figures in several huge crystal prisms.

A female voice said: "This is indeed a good time. Shuguang's activities have become active. I suspect that the arrangement of those iron bumps in the abyss has been destroyed, or I have finally confirmed the danger of the red lady, and I am preparing to do it."

The old voice said: "It kills two birds with one stone. It can not only make Shuguang stand in front of the stage, but also promote Romulus to complete the transformation. If everything goes well, Lucian can be promoted to the official Aegint."

The voice of the middle-aged man said: "We still have to be cautious, and don't underestimate that elf named Qili. And since Shuguang is active, then our previous guess is very likely to be correct, and Lady Scarlet is the goddess of Dawn."

Benoit said at this time: "I suggest dispatching... that, didn't the adults say that the Kingdom of God was built half a year ago, and the formatting was completed, so that he can activate his body left here?"

"Using him is equivalent to using the avatar of the god of tyranny, plus Truk as a bait, there must be no problem."

The figure in the crystal prism was silent for a while, and the female voice said first: "We need to do some tests first."

The middle-aged man said, "I think it's okay."

After a long time, the old voice said quietly: "Well, I don't feel relieved if I only rely on Truk."

In the space where the crystal prism is located, the walls are like a crystal jungle, and countless figures are hidden in the crystal.

In a certain much thicker crystal prism, the dim light flowed continuously, pulling out pieces of cracks on the prism.

A moment later, the crystal cracked, revealing a tall and burly human body.

This is a black-haired young man with only shorts on his body. His angular muscles are not bloated, but full of strength.

The young man opened his eyes, the pupils were brown and black.After a short period of confusion, a fiery gaze that looked at everything shot out from his eyes.At that moment, even Benoit felt his body tremble and couldn't speak.

The young man turned his neck and shoulders, and said with a slightly weird accent: "What is it? Where is it? How many hits?"

Benoit said in a respectful tone: "One thousand and two hundred kilometers to the north, the legendary snow giant, Your Majesty..."

The young man snorted disdainfully, "That's all?"

Benoit smiled: "No, Your Majesty, this is just... a warm-up."

"very good……"

The young man stretched out his arms, and one piece of armor was automatically put on his body.

After a while, the golden armor covered the young man's body. On the left and right shoulders was a dragon's head. On the head was a magnificent crown in the shape of a three-tiered minaret. On the center of his forehead was a slanted blood-red swastika.

Benoit swallowed his saliva, and said timidly: "That... Your Majesty..."

The young man waved his hand: "I know, I don't need you to remind me!"

The black cloak fluttered, and this outfit that no one in Fein knew was immediately covered by a layer of gray mist.

The young man waved his hand again, and a big sword jumped in his hand. He said dissatisfiedly: "Is this the only thing? It really doesn't fit."

Ignoring Benoit, the young man flew up, pulled out a thunderous vibration, and disappeared.

There was also a happy cry echoing in the air: "I'm back again, Finn! Let me see how much progress has been made here over the past 1000 years!"

It took a long time for the vibration to stop, and Benoit's heartbeat finally stabilized a little.

At this time, in the central crystal prism, the old man said, "Benoit, do you still think he is the same as before? This him is just an afterimage."

Benoit sighed: "But I feel... no different from that one, after all, we are all entrusted by him."

"Yes, he sacrificed himself to guard this place," the old man said in a voice, "We have inherited his will and will continue to guard this place..."

The middle-aged man said: "Even if you sink into the darkness..."

The woman said: "Even if you bear the infamy..."

Three vocals in one: "It's all worth it, only we have the power to save Finn."

Benoit's eyes were dazed for a moment, then he turned firm, nodded and said, "Yes, all crimes have to be paid. Only we can protect the world and save Finn!"

………………

Romulus stepped out of the hall and walked towards the ghost warrior's house on the side of the palace.

At this time, Princess Bailong should lie on the bed in vain and wait for his luck, but because of the good news that Qili is coming, he lost that thought for a while.

It happened to advance the routine "spirit power granting" ceremony in the evening to this time, and use this kind of thing to calm myself down.

Romulus waved his attendants back, and walked towards the warrior's house with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he was thinking about what gesture and topic he should use to meet Qili this time.

The Soul Image Warrior Institute was newly built in the palace three years ago after the arcanists completed the research on the soul image technology.

The so-called "soul image" is the abbreviation of "soul seal".

After returning from Youxiang, Romulus felt that he was not strong enough, and that he was an insignificant role in the whole thing, did not play his due role, and at the same time achieved due results.

After pondering for several days, he realized that the problem on his side was not only that he didn't have the support of gods, and of course he didn't want to rely on gods, but also that his power was too mixed.

The power he possesses is enough to face any enemy on the main plane, even Qi Li, when he was promoted to Legendary, was very annoyed by the restraint of this power.But this power from eternal tranquility and the Iron Curtain is only possessed by him.

So Romulus felt that it was the right way to pass on such power to other talents.Of course, it must be ensured that those who obtain this power agree with him and the Great Emperor's beliefs and are absolutely loyal to him.

It only took half a year for the Arcanists to hand over the answers that surprised him. They developed the soul seal technology from the dragon soul technology, allowing Romulus to engrave this power into the souls of other people, thus Allowing others to wield this power they call "the power of the stars".

That's right, the reason why Arcanists are willing to follow Romulus is that other forces are not a good choice, and a more important reason is that the power of Emperor Tudor possessed by Romulus does not belong to the existing gods and demons in the Finn world. Any one of the three powers of He Ling, but the power sent in by Xinghai from outside the world of Fein, it is a powerful force that spans the multiverse and exists in various worlds.

The soul seal engraved into the soul of another contains not only this power, but also an oath of loyalty to Romulus himself.Everyone has Romulus in their soul, making the soul seal like a phantom in the soul, so it is called a soul like a warrior.

Those who accept this kind of inscription will be strictly examined, not only requiring absolute voluntary, but also requiring a strong soul.Even if there is a little resistance and cowardice, or if the soul is not strong enough, the soul engraving will fail, and the consequences will be very serious.

If the engraving is successful, it does not mean that they have concluded a soul contract with Romulus, they have actually concluded a soul contract with an illusion.As long as Romulus himself has the power of the stars, they can gain the same power through this illusion.

How did the Arcanist do it? Romulus still didn't quite understand after listening to Borkman and Durukes' explanation.However, his feeling is very clear. Every time a soul image warrior is successfully engraved, this power will become stronger, and Romulus himself will naturally become stronger.

He called himself "man-god", and that's where he came from.

After Soul Warriors gain the power of the star sea, they will gradually lose their original extraordinary power, but by being loyal to Romulus, their power of the star sea will continue to grow and upgrade, and they will continue to acquire new abilities from this power and the soul seal .

Although there are no legend-level soul-like warriors up to now, those soul-like warriors who are at the peak of heroes can completely compete with the seventh-level legends of the old era without the help of magical weapons.

After continuous simplification and improvement by the Arcanists, the process of engraving the soul, that is, the process of "giving power to the soul image" is very simple and fast.The corresponding candidate screening and estimation technology is also well developed, with a high success rate. Every day, several suitable candidates will be sent to the palace to complete such a ceremony.

Romulus walked through the air corridor suspended between the halls, overlooking the guards and attendants coming and going below.

They didn't notice the emperor, but they bowed at every corner to a bare pillar.

That is the whole column, so that the guards and attendants can keep themselves introspected.No one supervised whether they saluted, but no one dared to be rude or perfunctory.

This is the old palace rule of the great emperor, and the palace deacons copied it when they set the rules for the guards and attendants. Romulus thought it was meaningless at first, but now he feels more and more that the rule set by the great emperor is really meaningful .

Just like the power of the soul, let the mortals always have authority in their hearts, compare the authority, supervise each other, and practice the awe of authority, so that the mortals can unite as one, under one banner, under one will.Neither tempted by the devil nor deceived by the gods.

When they came to a building similar to a castle, more than a dozen candidates had already guarded here. When they saw Romulus appearing, they were so excited that they knelt down and kowtowed.

Romulus is too lazy to greet them, this is their own initiative, and this kind of worship mentality can increase the success rate of soul engraving.

Soul inscription, that is, the power of the soul image, will not cause much damage to the soul of the subject, nor will it affect memory, personality and intelligence, and there is no rumor that "as long as it is not good for the empire, it is not good for the emperor." The thought of it will trigger the prohibition" kind of thing.

The only confirmed sequelae now is just the occasional sense of alienation, that is, the feeling that reality is a bit... unreal, like an illusory world.

It doesn't matter that Romulus often feels alienated from reality.Especially when looking up at the starry sky, thinking about the direction of the star sea and "who am I", this seems to be the case for every mortal.

Romulus sat on the throne, his right hand was eternally peaceful, and his left hand was the Iron Curtain. The copper gray light diffused from one part of the weapon to his whole body, dyeing him like a statue.

Candidates stepped forward one by one, their eyes were full of fanaticism, so that their cheeks twisted, and they spoke of their love and loyalty to the emperor.The scorching breath emanating from the soul heats up the hall little by little.

At the end, everyone concluded with a powerful cry: "Hey - Romulus -!"

This is also found in the ceremony of Emperor Tudor. When the emperor trained his confidants and attendants, he asked them to call him this way, which probably meant "Long live Your Majesty" or something.

When shouting, they also stretched their arms obliquely, put their fingers together, and pointed their palms down, pointing to Romulus on the throne, indicating that they would dedicate their loyalty to the emperor.

Romulus held up his palms, palms towards them, in acceptance of their allegiance.
