Chapter 106: Meeting Minuteman

'I sense that you have reached the very same conclusion I have,' said Fler'Gan

'The Chrysalis is growing a soul? Is that even possible?' said Aldrich He scraped his memory for all the lore he knew in Elden World and found he could not think of a single instance where a creature spontaneously just olems implanted with pure souls

Souls emptied of any memories or individuality from their past owner that could 'color' the an old one

This also isn't like that My soul is not 'pure' in that way It has all my memories It has all of who I am'

'Indeed I have also thus ruled out that possibility,' said Fler'Gan 'But there is one additional way in which a soul h the birth of new life Through reproduction That way, even beings with fully unique souls may produce an entirely new soul'

'Hold up, are you suggesting that so itself?' said Aldrich

'Indeed My current hypothesis is that it is incubating itself within your soul, utilizing it as a template to create its own much like a child's soul may take some aspects of the personality from their parents,' said Fler'Gan 'I am wondrously excited for the birth of this Chrysalis

By possessing a soul and taking in your y, it will be a perfect exae bothto mention the vast increase of its current powers'

'Ah, that hed Fler'Gan 'This generation of young ones, especially in this world, is far too rowdy for the likes of ed tendrils to deal with Good luck, Elder May this tuht'

With that, Fler'Gan's connection cut off, leaving Aldrich in the quiet hum of the carrier plane as it auto piloted out of Haven

"Where shall we head to next?" said Volantis "The center of this city where energy signatures gather the greatest? Where the stench and sight of death and battle eh the storm I've taken over that the forcefield still hasn't fallen I have enough time to touch base with the troops I put over Southside," said Aldrich "I have a corpse there to raise and a person of interest to ht about Minuteainst the horde of variants via the eyes of his undead, and he had also witnessed how theto lay down his life to save the Duds in the bunker

That was a rare quality of character that Aldrich respected It rereatly of his parents Of heroes that were, well, heroes He had heard of Minute a B ranker, Minuteman was fairly famous hi a man of equal and fair justice, but to see that it was not just a PRto see

In this world full of greedy, devouring flaood to see that there were a few fires that flickered to warm others, not just to burn and take
