“These… What is going on?”
Looking at six gemstones in different colors, Sui Xiong fixed his gaze on the gas-like item that was spiraling slowly within the gemstones. With his power, he could see the true form of every cloud “gas.”
These were strong spirits that were sealed within. They were in a deep sleep, as though they were anesthetized.
“These are the six high priests of that higher order, whom they killed.” Snowflake said. “Frost felt that they couldn’t just let their souls go, so he imprisoned them in these gemstones. He urged me to inform you that, since these gemstones are his personal belongings, and because he expended them for official duty, you must reimburse him.”
“Why did he imprison their souls?” Sui Xiong felt perplexed.
“He thought that he couldn’t just let their souls go off into the ether. So, I think he did a great job.” Snowflake took out the little black board and drew a person lying dead on the ground. Then, Snowflake drew its soul, hovering over to the holy kingdom to lodge a complaint, while shedding tears.”If their souls were to head to their holy kingdom, the news would leak out!”
“Huh? The news is still a secret?” Sui Xiong was surprised. “After so many people died, they still don’t know who killed them?”
“Of course not. The souls of those people didn’t go to the holy kingdom, so how would they know?”
“If it was well-prepared and operations were carried out smoothly, it would be possible for the culprits to never be revealed, forever.”
“But wouldn’t Orc Gods know how to trace them, using divine power?”
“Which church would waste their divine power for that only a few high priests? They’re not worth it. Anyway, I haven’t heard of it before.”
Sui Xiong was confused. He could not understand how those high priests, who had shed blood, sweat, and tears, and who even sacrificed their lives, were considered not worth being saved. He never thought he would hear such comments!
He thought for awhile, then asked, “Could it be that there is some sort of error in your understanding towards human society?”
Snowflake was offended now. She lifted her head arrogantly, while looking down her nose at him. She then spoke proudly, “I am the Arctic Tyrant, who created Dragon-roar Town. You think that I don’t understand the human society?”
Sui Xiong thought and nodded. It was very convincing.
He thought again, then decided to contact Morani. Steel Lion was at least on somewhat decent terms with the Orc Gods. So, he might know some news.
Morani replied very quickly, explaining that, “In recent times, the Orc Gods really did send out quite a number of oracles, and they were working hard on the investigation of them. But, they were not investigating the assassination of the few high priests, but a very dangerous organization instead.”
“A very dangerous organization?” Sui Xiong asked in distress. “The Orc God system is considered to be the second most powerful among the God system, making it a very a dangerous organization…. Unless, it’s a human God system?”
“No, it’s an assassination organization,” Morani said. “That organization nurtured a scary female killer. Without poison, a curse, or any other supernatural measure, and merely depending on her skill in bed, she exhausted a legendary expert to death in a single night. And, she even has a divine power that allows her to block off tracking… Just imagining it, I found it surprising, too!”
Sui Xiong was quiet for a while. He thanked him and turned the connection off. Then, he couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Steele sure scored a lucky hit this time!
She, as a holy spirit, even though she was a counterfeit, possessed divinity, after all. So, the tracing of divine power would naturally be ineffective for her. But, Belem Syrah’s death, which she had been the killer within, had attracted the Orc Gods’ attentions. The chain assassination by Jose and Frost then became a small matter in comparison.
This is a surprise harvest!
After taking care of that, he looked at the souls that were imprisoned in the gemstones. He was worried. In order to prevent the leaking of information, these people couldn’t be released.
But, these souls… What should I do with them?
He took up a blue gemstone randomly, focusing his attention on the enshrouding aura within it. In his eyes, that neatly arranged cloud of aura gathered, then took up the form of a centaur woman that was in deep sleep. All of this happened within the gemstone!
The woman was beautiful and charming, and had a head of golden hair that shimmered. Her bone structure was slightly bigger, and her muscle looked a little too sturdy for a typical, ordinary female. All in all, she carried a typical image of a beauty soldier.
Oh, beauty knight, her bottom half is a horse.
How should I take care of the person’s soul?
In short… Should I brainwash her first?
How do I brainwash a soul?
That’s not right! Bro Xiong knows how to wash clothes, wash vegetables, reset gaming attributes points, but not brainwash!
