Chapter 510: soul spar

"It actually exploded a soul spar?"

In the flickering room, seeing the phantom of the mad prince completely disappearing into the blue flames, Thorne immediately stepped forward and waved his hand to dispel the flames, and picked up the phantom on the ground, which was the first to be noticed by him. to the black spar.

This is a pure black spar the size of a ping-pong ball, under the illumination of the light technique, there is a hint of cold luster.

When the spar was placed in the palm of his hand, he also felt a cold touch similar to the negative energy breath, crystal clear like winter ice.

Thorne looked over with joy after checking the attributes of the soul spar.

It can be clearly seen from the deep black light in the soul spar in his hand that this is a high-quality spar.

Feeling the power of death filled in the spar, he can judge with certainty that the purity of this spar is absolutely purer than the spar he exchanged from the manager of the demi-plane.

This also means that the quality of the soul spar is conservative and also a spar of legendary quality.

After all, this soul spar was transformed from an undead creature trapped in this castle for thousands of years.

This mad prince who has suffered countless years of suffering and is still able to survive to this day, the quality of the soul spar he turned into after his death is naturally very high.

The soul spar is similar to a container that holds the soul, and the power contained in it is the power of the soul.

Usually only pure ethereal undead creatures have the potential to transform into material structures when they dissipate.

Like low-level ghosts, they can only produce some fingernail-sized soul fragments at most, which are often used by necromantic wizards as charging materials, or to make undead puppets.

And the legendary quality spar like Thorne's hand can almost be called a priceless treasure.

Having said that, it is not only the undead creatures of the spirit type that produce this kind of spar that contains the power of the soul.

Many evil spellcasters have also mastered many methods of imprisoning the souls of dead mortals and turning them into soul spar.

In this world, the most favorite souls are the demons of the abyss and the devils of Baator, but these evil creatures are not all souls.

Such as the souls of kobolds as weak as goblins, even if they were given to them, they would not be of much interest.

Because the souls of these little guys are too weak, it is very easy for them to collapse during the tempering process, which is a bit of a waste of effort, and the gains outweigh the losses.

This is like jade that is divided into three, six and nine, and goblin kobolds are undoubtedly the lowest kind. It is more difficult to count on this kind of jade to make a fortune.

Relatively speaking, these evil people most like to torture the mortals with the highest potential in the main material world, and use this to obtain high-quality souls.

Especially those powerful professions.

Among the many professions, the most prominent are the ascetic like the monk.

It is precisely because these masochists especially like to cultivate strong willpower through this kind of inhuman self-torture practice. As a result, the soul of such a professional can easily become a high-quality soul after being acquired, even without any tempering and torture.

Such souls with very high cost performance often only fall into the hands of demons, and can easily be transformed into powerful subordinates.

This is why, compared to the soul of a kobold goblin, the soul of an ordinary person may seem unremarkable, but their potential is incomparable to these weak little guys.

When these mortals have experienced some hardships, or fell into the hands of demons, and successfully survived through all kinds of terrible tortures that cannot be described in words, their lower-quality souls will become very pure.

That is to say, the soul of every mortal is like a jade that is sealed in a rock and has not been polished. As long as it is tempered, it will bloom with the pure light of jade.

Of course, in the process of 'polishing', a lot of defective products will definitely be eliminated. If the spirit of the soul collapses in the pain, it means that the 'jade' has been broken and become useless. value.

Weak souls naturally have a very high elimination rate.

Many evil spellcasters who like to use this method to obtain souls usually choose more targets to inflict painful torment on them.

In this indescribable process, often one or two more excellent souls appear in these goals, which is a very good harvest.

This method of tempering the soul through pain and torture, the devil of Baator **** is definitely a good player.

Because these cunning guys are best at using mental pain to torture mortals who fall into their hands.

Just like polishing jade, they carefully applied the suffering grinding little by little, removing the gray shell of the soul layer by layer, and finally obtained those souls that could shine like jade.

Therefore, most mortals in the main material world would rather die than sell their souls to them under the guidance of the devils unless they have to.

Relatively speaking, the demons of the bottomless abyss are much simpler and cruder.

They don't master the delicate grinding process like the devil, and usually like to directly inflict pain on their bodies, regardless of whether these poor unlucky **** can bear it or not, the forcible torture is over.

As for how many souls will collapse during the whole process, that's not something they need to worry about, they just need to collect what is left in the end.

Of course, in addition to devils and demons, many evil necromancers are also veterans of tempering the soul, and their methods are even better than the devil.

How to extract the soul of the dead, how to refine it to perfection, and how to make a usable soul spar, no wizard of any magic school can compare to the necromantic school.

If the necromancers did not master this skill, it would be difficult for them to form a large-scale undead army.

Because necromancers with soul spar usually transform high-quality souls into powerful skeleton knights, elite ghosts, and corpses, while those with low-quality souls will summon numerous skeletons, ghouls, zombies, and so on.

Therefore, tempering the soul and making soul spar are almost necessary skills for every necromancer, which means that they often embark on the path of evil and eventually become a lich that makes the world disgusted.

In the battle just now, through the intermittent words of the mad prince, Thorne guessed that the reason why the other party became like this was definitely from the undead Lord Orgasus.

This made him want to understand one thing, that is, in ancient times, why the mad prince could swept all the surrounding kingdoms and city-states with the doomsday army in his hand.

Obviously, the mad prince Alois sold his soul to the demon king Orbis, and the price he paid should be to incarnate as an undead creature and permanently guard this bone castle.

Thinking of this, Thorne vaguely guessed that the castle definitely hides secrets related to the undead Lord Orus, and the purpose of Winster guiding them here is also likely to be related to this matter.

Because in the process of killing the mad prince Alois, Thorne also heard the other party calling out Winster's name with endless rage before he died.

However, as an undead creature whose strength reaches the legend of destiny.

Not only did the mad prince Alois fail to destroy them all in the first place, but he was suppressed by the overwhelming majority of his strength and could not even leave this place.

So much so that he can only rely on small means to attract intruding adventurers.

It can be seen from this that Winster definitely visited this place when the Mad Prince was guarding the Bone Castle.

He not only explored the secrets here, but also used his own methods to successfully seal the mad prince here, so that the mental body of this unfortunate person would be suffering all the time, or else he would not hate Wenster. so deep.

This is the reason why the quality of this legendary quality soul spar in Thorne's hands is so high.

Because Winster's true identity was originally a lich who was proficient in the necromancy school, he naturally mastered the skillful means of tempering his soul, and this unfortunate mad prince Alois was obviously his test object for tempering his soul.

In the end, under the guidance of Winster, their group not only destroyed the mad prince Alois, but also harvested the fruit of this tempering success.

As for what exactly was the real intention of Winster doing this, and why he gave up such a precious thing. Thorne believes that as long as they continue to explore, they will understand the secrets inside.

Looking at the high-quality soul spar in his hand, he was very satisfied.

Because he often flips through books in the wizard's tower, he has mastered a lot of mysterious knowledge related to magic, and naturally he is very clear about the true value of this spar.

A soul spar of legendary quality like this in his hand can not only be used as the soul core of a legendary diamond golem, or the highly intelligent tower spirit of the wizard tower.

At the same time, it can also make advanced magic equipment related to this attribute.

If it is handed over to a wizard who is proficient in making magic equipment, it is not difficult to produce a legendary quality magic equipment with enough raw materials.

The main reason why legendary equipment is so rare is that the most significant difference between high-level magic equipment and legendary equipment is the lack of a field or law power related to the legend of destiny.

Magical equipment without this power, no matter how good it is, still cannot be called a legendary equipment.

And this kind of soul spar with legendary quality is one of the most critical materials for making legendary equipment.

For example, a pair of Legendary Bracers on his wrist.

The reason why the quality of this piece of equipment can reach the legendary quality is that in the production process, the soul spar of a wind element elder is fused, so that this piece of equipment has successfully obtained a powerful wind element power.

However, it is a pity for Thorne that the negative energy aura filled in this spar does not match his own attributes at all.

If it is a soul spar transformed by a demon, he can fuse it to make his desert wind sword reach golden and legendary quality.

Although he could not use this soul spar, he did not feel much loss because he thought of a plan on how to maximize the value of this soul spar.

Thorne decided to use this high-quality soul spar to create a construct with the strength of the legend of destiny: the diamond golem.

How could a complete wizard tower be missing this top-level puppet golem.

If such a construct with a legendary level of strength is successfully made, then the wizard tower in the town of waterfalls will truly have the capital without fear of any forces.

Even in the face of the legendary powerhouse, with the diamond golem, the wizard tower also has the strength to challenge it head-on.

Although the most critical core equipment of the diamond golem has been collected by him, it cannot be completed in a short time.

After all, it is a puppet golem with legendary strength. If you want to make it successfully, you still need to think about it in the long run.

First of all, this diamond golem, which is close to the highest level, can only be successfully activated if the activation construct cast by the legendary wizard occurs.

Thorne wasn't too worried about this.

The two steel golems made in the wizard's tower were also unable to activate them due to their strength. The reason why it can be made is entirely because of the assistance of Malvasia's divine power.

If they really want to make it, Thorne believes that the other party will definitely be willing to use their magical power to help them.

What really troubled him was the second, the most realistic condition.

That is, the cost of the diamond golem is very expensive, because the material for making it is diamond, which is commonly known as diamond.

The main material of this legendary-level construct is to use diamonds to shape its body, and only the most local legendary wizards can make it.

The price of making a diamond golem, I am afraid that the financial resources of all the territories of the entire Emerald Field may not be able to be made.

In this regard, Thorne can only helplessly smile, planning to come back and think of a way.

"My teacher said that this soul spar is an advance payment to you." Seeing Thorne approaching, the witch Cecil put away the quaint magic amulet in her palm.

Advance payment?

Thorne's expression became clear, and then he put away the spar as if nothing had happened.

He looked at the witch with a little doubt and asked: "Since there is a reward, naturally there is something I need to do. Can you talk about it in detail?"

The moment he obtained this soul spar, he understood that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, and he was also prepared for this.

After all, this is a very high-quality soul spar, a treasured item that even legendary professionals will scramble for when they see it.

He wouldn't believe that someone would give in kindly.

"I don't know this for the time being." Cecil shook her head slightly, and turned her eyes to the altar where the mad prince appeared before. "Maybe enter the secret passage hidden under the altar and you will know everything."
