Chapter 34

The leader's concern made his comrades feel the warmth of spring.

Bai Xiaowen pretended to be flattered, but his heart was full of disdain.

"Asking Grima to arrange something for me, and that's the reward? A dog tag for the resistance, a bed in the barracks of Helmet City, and a number of pots and pans? Impossible, I won't let go of such a good opportunity! "

Bai Xiaowen's face became serious, and he spoke with passion.

"There's no need to arrange anything, Usok. I left the warm Waldron to come here so that the North can be liberated as soon as possible! To me, a comfortable life is just a poison that corrodes my will to fight. What I want is to have more power and devote myself to the cause of the Vikings' liberation. "

Everyone in the hall had different expressions. Young people like Lorga, as well as the row of muscular Vikings on the right, were all in awe, as if they saw a moral example. Many of the civil officials on the left had strange expressions on their faces.

The Usok coughed, "Young warrior, you still have a long way to go. Don't be in a hurry to pursue power. Wait for the right opportunity."

"In fact, Usok, I have an opportunity right now. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity!"

Bai Xiaowen suddenly pulled out the Soul Stone in front of everyone in the Overlord's Hall!

"I risked my life to obtain this Soul Stone. It will bestow me with great power and help us in our cause!" Bai Xiaowen said loudly, "However, it is sealed. My lord, please help me break the seal on the soul stone! "

Bai Xiaowen chose to take out the soul stone at this moment after careful consideration.

First of all, the Usok and its subordinates couldn't go to the Northshire Monastery or the Imperial Knights to report him.

Secondly, Bai Xiaowen was a new warrior who had just made a great contribution. The Usok couldn't do something like this in order to attract people's support. It was impossible for the Usok to not understand the principle of buying horse bones with a thousand gold. If they took Bai Xiaowen's soul stone, who would dare to join the resistance army in the North?

The mages in the left row looked at the Soul Stone in shock. Then, they started whispering to each other.

The Usok glanced at the soul stone.

"Kevin!" The Usok looked at the first mage on the left, "Take a look at this stone."

The mage Kevin nodded and extended his hand to Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head. The soul stone was in his palm, and he had no intention of handing it to Kevin, "Master Kevin, I'll show it to you."

Although he wasn't afraid of being robbed, Bai Xiaowen was worried that the black-robed mage, Kevin, would get greedy at the sight of the treasure and use some magic to swap it out. Then, he would say that it was just an ordinary stone. Who could Bai Xiaowen cry to then?

Kevin's pale face showed slight displeasure, but he still obeyed the Usok's order. He closed his eyes and used his power of the will to sense the soul stone.

"My Lord, he's right. This is a soul stone, and it's now sealed by a strong force," Kevin opened his eyes and said, "I can feel the will of the dead from this soul stone. If we can make full use of the power of this soul stone, we'll be able to create a powerful summoning necromancer. "

The people in the hall frowned slightly. Obviously, to normal people, necromancers who could control corpses and skeletons were a synonym for eeriness and coldness. They were also people who should stay away from them.

However, the Vikings respected power and didn't have much prejudice against necromancers. If it were the people of the Empire who believed in the Lord of Light, they might have a more intense reaction.

The Usok asked, "Young man, are you really willing to give up the glory of being a warrior and choose the repulsive necromancer as your profession?"

Bai Xiaowen said without hesitation, "My talent is more suited to be a mage than a warrior. No matter what power it is, as long as it's helpful to the freedom of the Vikings and the independence of the north, I'll pursue it. No matter how great the sacrifice, I won't hesitate! "

Bai Xiaowen spoke vehemently and passionately, and the group of fierce Vikings nodded their heads.

Kevin's eyes seemed to scan Bai Xiaowen once before he said, "My Lord, this young man's physique is relatively weak, but he has a strong mind. He's indeed more suited to be a long-range caster. "

The Usok nodded, "It seems that I have no reason to stop him. Kevin, you're the most powerful mage in my territory. Can you help him break the seal on the soul stone? "

Bai Xiaowen's eyes immediately looked at the black-robed mage Kevin.

It had to be said that reaching this point in the S- class advancement mission was already a very crucial step. Bai Xiaowen was still very nervous.

He was worried that the black-robed mage would refuse to take over. If that happened, the other mages wouldn't take over. The resistance army's line would be cut off.

Fortunately, the black-robed mage Kevin didn't refuse and said straightforwardly, "No problem."

Phew. Bai Xiaowen heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Master Kevin." He handed the soul stone to Kevin with peace of mind. Now, he didn't have to worry about Kevin swapping it.

"But …" Kevin's words made Bai Xiaowen's thoughts rise again.

Bai Xiaowen wanted to beat this sickly person to death. How could he hesitate when speaking! Words like "but, but, but" were always dreadful. There was definitely no good news.

"But what?" Bai Xiaowen asked cooperatively since he had a favor to ask.

Kevin glanced around the hall and bowed to the Usok before leaving. Then, he said to Bai Xiaowen, "Follow me."

The two walked through the corridor and came to a study room. Bookshelves were placed against the wall, and there was also a lab table with many utensils.

"Sit anywhere you like. This is my lab."

Kevin played with the soul stone in his hand and said slowly, "You stole this soul stone from Falca, right?"

"How did you know?"

"Haha, every spellcaster has a unique aura. The seal on this stone contains Falca's spiritual energy. I met Falca once before. I happened to hear that Falca stole the sealed soul stone from the Northshire Abbey and was hunted down by the Royal Knights. He even fled to another plane. I didn't expect this soul stone to be in your hands. "Kevin was a little emotional.

"It has nothing to do with Falca now. It's mine. "Bai Xiaowen emphasized.

"Relax, relax." Kevin waved his hand. "I don't have any relationship with Falca, and I won't tell the Northshire Abbey's bitches. I just got the news yesterday that Falca was arrested, so I chatted with him for a while. Okay, let's get back to the topic. "

Kevin took a scroll from the bookshelf and gently unfolded it. A light of energy shrouded the scroll. He placed the soul stone in the center of the scroll and said while unsealing it, "It's not hard to undo the seal, but the energy in your soul stone seems to have dried up. If you want to gain power, unsealing it isn't enough. "

Bai Xiaowen was overjoyed, but his expression did not change as he asked, "Master Kevin, can you help me recharge it?"

Kevin shook his head. "The hunger of a soul stone can't be satisfied by ordinary energy. It needs to devour souls. The stronger the soul, the more it meets the requirements. I can't help you with this. But I can point you to a place. "

Bai Xiaowen was very cooperative. "Where?"

Kevin operated the scroll slowly. When the light of the scroll dissipated and it turned into a piece of scrap paper, he picked up the soul stone and handed it to Bai Xiaowen. He said, "It's 150 miles north of Pointy Helmet City. It's a forgotten cemetery where powerful ancient Vikings are buried. The souls there must meet the requirements of the soul stone. "

Notification:

"You learned about the Frozen Tomb from the chief wizard of Pointy Helmet City, Kevin."

"Quest progress updated."

"S- Class Advancement Quest: Black Soul Stone. Current progress: Unsealing 1/1, Recharging 0/100."

Bai Xiaowen thoughtfully took the soul stone and asked, "Master Kevin, I'll go to the tomb to collect soul energy. Is there anything I can help you with? "
