#409 - Chapter 409 Soul Spell
“Let’s start now!”
Hearing what the servant said, Carlos stood up and said in a firm tone.
Then, he turned his head and whispered to Wu Wei beside him.
“Um, Mr. Wu Wei.”
“You don’t have to rush to answer the question I just raised.”
“After all, I don’t think I have shown you my full value yet!”
“You might as well stay in Eternal Night City for a while longer and make a decision after seeing my abilities clearly!”
“So before that, let me help the great you solve some small troubles~”
Since Carlos had said so, Wu Wei had no reason to refuse.
After all...
No one would refuse free stuff, right? (Except readers).
————————————————
Soon, the ritual targeting Master Silas's soul began.
A humanoid creature wearing a black robe and wrapped in some kind of dark bandage, led by several of Carlos's bodyguards, came to the container where Master Silas's soul was stored.
This humanoid creature was the soul mage Carlos had called.
And he also took out a black candle from his carry-on package.
Although he knew nothing about soul magic, Wu Wei estimated that this candle was the “medium” he used to cast soul magic.
After he took out the candle, he quickly turned his head and glanced at Carlos.
His meaning was obvious.
Can we start?
Carlos naturally understood.
He nodded and said.
“Start.”
After receiving authorization from Carlos, the soul mage began his soul magic under Wu Wei's gaze.
He took out a…
Lighter, yes, a lighter.
After two clicks, he successfully lit the black candle with the lighter in his hand.
And after the black candle was lit, it immediately emitted a large amount of black smoke.
However, it was somewhat different from what Wu Wei expected.
The effect of these black mists was actually to be inhaled.
The soul mage put his nose up and took large gulps of the black smoke.
Then, Wu Wei noticed that after absorbing the black smoke, the energy value in the soul mage's body had more than doubled!
And after the energy value in his body doubled, he directly stretched out his hand and pointed at Master Silas's soul in the container.
The next second, a phantom appeared in front of Wu Wei.
This phantom was exactly what Master Silas looked like.
However, there were no longer any mechanical creations on his soul at this time.
But this was still not the end.
Because this phantom was just a projection.
It still couldn't communicate directly.
At least, it couldn't communicate directly with Wu Wei.
So after the soul mage extracted Master Silas's soul, he quickly poured Master Silas's soul into the head he had left in the world.
And after a shrill scream....
Master Silas's soul successfully returned to the real world.
Temporarily....
————————————
“Damn it, it hurts!”
Master Silas's head opened its mouth and said painfully.
“I never thought that the world after death would be like this.”
“It seems my guess was wrong. Ordinary beings cannot directly deceive the River Styx and gain a chance for eternal life.”
“Only liches and other non-native undead have a chance to retain their consciousness after death....”
Master Silas muttered to himself.
It seemed that Wu Wei was right. Master Silas, even after death, maintained some extremely strong academic research spirit.
“Then why don’t you consider becoming a lich before you die?”
“That way, you can continue your research.”
“My subordinate has such an undead.”
Wu Wei frowned and said to Master Silas.
If the other party did this, he could save a lot of effort.
“Heh, you don’t understand.”
“Eternal life after becoming a lich seems tempting, but it is actually a different kind of curse....”
“Because all undead creatures will be branded with the mark of the River Styx's slaves after death.”
“This kind of mark is something that I absolutely cannot accept.”
After speaking, Master Silas glanced at Wu Wei.
“By the way, you went to so much trouble to drag my soul back to reality, it shouldn’t be to ask such low-level questions, right?”
“I suggest you ask any questions you have quickly.”
“Because my current state is very painful!”
“That’s right, I didn’t expect that the only feeling after death would be pain!”
Hearing what Master Silas said, Wu Wei didn't waste any more words and directly took out the silver ball he had obtained that could hold the aura of chaos.
After placing the ball in front of Master Silas, making sure he could see it clearly enough, Wu Wei finally spoke.
“Do you know what this thing is?”
Master Silas's answer did not disappoint Wu Wei.
“Are you talking about this ball?”
“Of course I know, and I have a very deep impression!”
“But......”
