With the corpse and the black suitcase in his hand that caused more than one murder, Xia De didn't stay in the urban area for long, but went directly out of the city and into the mountains. For safety's sake, he didn't choose to go directly to the abandoned tower whose basement was connected to the hidden space. Instead, he deviated from the main road into the mountain and found a small open space in the forest.
Make sure no one is around, put the moonstone ring on your hand, turn on [Quiet Moonlight] to prevent accidents, and then restore the body:
"Soul Echo."
With the use of thaumaturgy, the cold wind blew through the mountain forest in the evening, and the sun that had begun to fall behind Mount Xikar in the distance became even more dim. It seems that there are wolves howling higher up in the mountain, but if you listen carefully, it seems that the wind blows through the treetops.
In the quiet forest under the setting sun, Xia De stood beside the corpse with a frown, watching the spirit fragments appear above the corpse. Strictly speaking, the psychic ability of [Soul Echo] does not retrieve the complete soul, but only fragments like reverberations.
Therefore, the souls that appear at this time are weaker than normal souls, but because of this they will lose part of their memories. .
"Guide to death."
A cold gray light appeared on the fingertips, and Xia De's hand touched the surface of the soul fragment. He closed his eyes, and scenes flashed before his eyes.
Although still incomplete, the series of pictures basically supported Xia De's conjecture. The deceased who was shot on the fourth floor of the hotel a week ago, the businessman with two pistols, and the professor himself were all members of the Gray Gloves. Although they were not as high as the "Grey Eagles", they were still of a high rank. The purpose of the three of them being sent here was only to get the suitcase.
But what was in the suitcase, they also had no idea.
In the broken memory, there are still some password patterns and passwords common to the "grey gloves". Of course, these are changed at any time, so it is of little significance. And the most critical final delivery location is actually the gray glove headquarters in Willendale, the capital of Carson Rico, that small gray house on the side of the royal palace.
This means that it is the leader of Kasenrik's spy organization "Grey Gloves" who obtained the "goods" obtained by the Principality of Set, passed information through the "Gray Eagle", and was assisted by three top agents. It is an order issued directly by the royal family.
"What's in the alley?"
Shade looked at the suitcase he had thrown beside the corpse. The suitcase was not heavy, not even as heavy as the four metal banknote printing plates in his basement.
"Could it be a photo of King Larus III the Flame Jumper?"
He stood in the shadow of the mottled trees and thought, but this kind of lace news doesn't seem to be that important:
"Or is it evidence of treason by Rezia's other brothers and sisters?"
But the descendants of the Cavendish family should not have so many who want to treason:
"Or is it a blueprint for a new weapon?"
This is quite possible.
"Why are you fighting among yourself?"
Because of the effect of [Guide to Death], the soul in the state of ignorance is dissipating after "waking up". While Professor Higgins' soul hadn't completely disappeared, Xia De asked again, because he didn't see the answer in the picture just now.
"Because of betrayal."
Professor Higgins' voice is very dull, and it seems to come from far away:
"Shameful betrayal, one of them wants to hand over this suitcase directly to their superiors, and the other wants to hand it over to His Royal Highness Samuel Anjou."
Samuel Anjou is the oldest contemporary prince of the United Kingdom of Kasenlik. Shade knows this man not because he cares about foreign news, but because Kasenlik has only three princes and two princes in total. Princess, unlike Delarion who has double-digit direct descendants.
"Is this the reason for the infighting?"
Xia De felt a little amused:
"And you? Who do you want to give this suitcase to?"
"His Royal Highness Marguerite Anjou."
"Haha~"
Xia De gave a dry laugh, and really couldn't figure out how the upper echelon of Gray Gloves got these three people together and let them form a team to complete the task.
"Are you laughing at Princess Margaret?"
The soul of Professor Higgins asked, seeming to have misunderstood the reason for Shade's dry laugh.
"Of course not... Wait? Why did you take the initiative to speak?"
He looked at the soul in surprise, but saw that the soul that was disappearing into a white spot of light became solidified as if time was reversed. The white mist of unknown origin poured down from the head of the corpse lying on the ground, making the soul glow green and at the same time endowing the soul with the power of the elements representing "whispers".
"
Damn it, the soul is about to transform into an evil spirit, and it's the level 0 relic [Between Life and Death] that's affecting it! If I had known, I should have brought it back to Tobesk and channeled again. "
But this is not something that Xia De could have predicted. Iluna only said that after the earthquake, the local evil spirits will become more powerful and terrifying, but did not say that the local evil spirits are more likely to appear.
"I didn't laugh at the beautiful, kind, innocent and honest Princess Marguerite Anjou!"
Xia De hurriedly said loudly, hoping that this could stop the process of the soul fragments becoming evil spirits, but unexpectedly, these words made Professor Higgins' soul even more violent:
"ah!"
The shrill cry seemed to pierce the eardrums. If Xia De hadn't used [Silent Moonlight] in advance, I'm afraid it would startle a large number of birds in the forest:
"If you don't listen to advice, then I will let you listen!"
Step back to open the distance, and at the same time, lightly swipe your right hand in the air, and the arc-shaped light trace hits forward. But after hitting the spirit body of Professor Higgins, it only left a horrifying scar instead of cutting the spirit body into two halves as usual:
"It turns out that the stronger the evil spirit, the stronger the defense."
Thinking in his heart, Xia De put the extract on the tip of his tongue, took a step back and disappeared in place, and then stabbed from the back of the transformed spirit body with a sword in both hands.
Clang!
Silver light spots splashed everywhere, and the moonlight sword actually slashed on the translucent green light shield behind the evil spirit. The light shield wrapped the evil spirit's back like half an eggshell, even if it was covered by the moonlight. When the Guangda sword stabbed, there were only cracks like spider webs, which were completely repaired before the second sword summoned by [Blade of Chaos Time] stabbed:
"Isn't this enhancement~www.mtlnovel.com~ a bit too exaggerated?"
He really realized how terrible the impending disaster at Fort Midhill was.
The evil spirit roared towards the sky, and under the influence of the white mist from the narrow space, the whispering elements almost corroded it into a human form. The limbs were completely reversed, and black hands pierced directly out of the spiritual body. Even Xia De couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle seeing this scene.
What he is afraid of is not this enhanced soul, but the power that belongs to the narrow space, the power between life and death that should not appear:
"Evil spirits of this level are almost equivalent to human ring warlocks below the fourth ring."
With that roaring soul as the center, the grassland in the forest was completely withered, and even was shaken back.
The white mist blurred the vision, and in the white mist, carrying a large shadow and a miserable green airflow, the soul stretched out its hands towards Xia De. And that layer of translucent light shield was also deformed close to the spirit body, not giving Xia De a chance to break through the defense at all.
"The Great Sin Chains should be able to penetrate the protection formed by the soul power, but I don't want this soul to become even crazier."
So the left fist wearing the soul crystal ring struck out violently, but hit the light shield again, but it was not completely ineffective.
[Soul Resonance] [Mind Blast] [Guide to Death], the combined effect of the three thaumaturgy made this blow almost have the effect of a sonic boom in the air.
Although the attack power was blocked by the shield, the berserk evil spirit was also like a cannonball, drifting towards the forest behind, together with the white mist, green smoke, and black faces wrapped around him.
