Chapter 96 Towering No. 7

Memories of death.

When Sauron saw the picture in front of him and heard the words from the mouth of the undead, he already realized what was happening in front of him. Because he has seen such a scene before, when an undead is restored to the soul form, it is possible to restore part of the mental memory, and it will recall some things at this time. This kind of memory is mainly concentrated in the time period before death, because the soul can remember very few things. This situation is a bit like that after the soul enters the abyss hell and reincarnates, it will also forget part of the memory of the material plane.

The soul is something like currency for many existences. Many low-level demons and demons in the bottomless abyss and Baator hell are reincarnated from the fallen souls of the material plane.

Only the most inferior and self-abandoned souls will be sent directly to the Styx for reincarnation.

Of course, this kind of reincarnation is to reshape the soul.

Anyone who has seen papermaking will be deeply impressed by this. The souls are directly squeezed together in piles, then ground into powder, and finally sent into the machine to make new white paper.

………………

The voice of the Earthbound Spirit gradually decreased.

He seemed to be remembering something, and suddenly began to cry, and after crying for a while, his expression became dull again, and he just looked at Vivienne and Sauron foolishly.

He doesn't retain much memory because he died so long ago.

Some people always can't tell the difference between soul and undead. In fact, the two cannot be put together. The soul is a pure energy body. The soul can become an undead, but the undead is not a pure soul. Almost all undead are close to evil, because they are born with a strong obsession, which is often full of aggression and resentment towards the living. Therefore, most of the detection spells are close to blood-red light when encountering undead.

Undead are existences that violate the rules of death, but souls are part of the rules.

Strictly speaking, it may be longer than the teachings of many gods. But to put it in a simpler way, the Earthbound Spirit in front of him was an undead at first, but now he is a soul that has lost most of his memory.

Exceed!

Maybe it's easier to use this term to describe it.

Vivienne's salvation is not a relief of kindness and justice, but a direct and domineering way to seal the soul, which is tantamount to killing the part of it that belongs to the undead and sealing the part that belongs to the soul in the jug. Therefore, the dead souls in front of us are also being saved. As long as it is released by the spell sealed in the flagon, its soul can return to the River Styx. This kind of soul has already consumed too much power, and it is difficult for a soul that is not pure enough to have too many choices.

Death doesn't have to be the beginning.

There are always new opportunities before the pure soul, good or evil.

………………

"elder brother!"

Vivian took the iron jug in her hand, then glanced at the undead in front of her, and asked, "What's your name?"

Undead: "..."

Vivian sighed. Looking at Sauron, he said, "It even forgot its own name. It seems that it really lost itself, and I don't know how many things it still remembers in the wizard's tower."

Forget your own name.

This means that the soul is about to be lost, and the name is very important, so Vivian's first question is this.

Vivian held the flagon and continued to ask, "Where is this? What's nearby? How do I get to the wizard's tower?"

Undead: "..."

The little girl asked three questions in a row. The undead were all dumbfounded and motionless, which made her a little discouraged. Because it made her feel that her decision at the beginning was wrong, and the undead had no effect after imprisoning the soul. It doesn't remember many things at all, and even the memory of death is a nonsensical passage.

"Give me the flagon."

Sauron spoke at this time. He motioned for Vivian to hand over the jug to him, then held the jug and said, "Where is the kitchen?"

The jug is a phylactery.

Or something like a phylactery. Only by holding it can you control the dead soul in front of you.

Compared to Vivienne's question, Sauron asked only the simplest question, so simple that it seemed useless. So under the little girl's puzzled gaze, the dead soul in front of her was slightly stunned. Then he led Sauron towards the second room at the back. There are three rooms here, which should be the kitchen, the storage room, and a room for unknown purpose.

Sauron nodded in satisfaction, and followed.

He seemed to have noticed the little girl's puzzled expression, so he said, "It seems that he was indeed the cook of the wizard tower before his death. If the arcanist who once owned the wizard tower was not a crazy researcher, he only needs to use If magic can make some food, then he must need a chef. Life in the Arcane Empire was all about luxury and pleasure. This wizard tower is one of the representatives at first glance. The nearby buildings are all for arcanists. provided by the servant."

After all, Vivienne is only nine years old this year.

The reason why Sauron said so much is actually guiding her thinking and using practical actions to teach her how to deal with things.

The Revenant stopped in the second room.

Then its expression became dazed again, but Sauron was really thoughtful. After looking at the surrounding environment, he continued: "Prepare the food."

Hear Sauron's words.

There was a slight change in the eyes of the demented dead soul, and then it started to move mechanically. In fact, it didn't pick up anything, it was just repeating the action of making food. In the end, it was filled with a pile of air as if holding a plate. As the chef of the Wizard Tower, the thing he did most was to prepare food, so it was also the thing that was most likely to be remembered by its soul. Even if it is almost forgotten, the habit close to instinct will still be imprinted deep in the soul.

It's like the undead guards in some places will still patrol and guard the ruins after forgetting everything.

This is the experience Sauron summed up in the past!

"very good."

A smile appeared on the corner of Sauron's mouth, and he said in a deep voice, "Send the food up."

The critical moment has arrived.

This house is built independently on the side of the Wizard Tower, and is not directly connected to the Wizard Tower. In fact, it is impossible to build a kitchen next to the wizard's tower. Just thinking about the picture is very unsightly. Therefore, there must be a route to the wizard's tower. This route is quite safe, and it should be a route that avoids the [Defense Mechanism] and [Magic Lock].

The dead soul froze in place for a moment.

Immediately, there seemed to be a slight change in its expression, it stayed in place for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the back door as if carrying something.

"Follow up!"

Sauron hurriedly greeted Vivian next to him, and said in a deep voice, "It should be taking a safe route. Let's follow behind and make a note of the route to the wizard's tower!"

Follow your normal eating habits.

A person needs to eat three meals a day, even if it is one meal a day, the soul in front of this route has traveled thousands of times during its lifetime, so even if it dies and forgets its memory, it is still possible to remember the route.

The two quickly followed.

After the dead soul walked out through the back door, it immediately entered the range of the fog, but it was an edge area.

Sauron and Vivienne followed closely behind it. When it moved, the two of them also moved, and when it stopped, the two of them also stayed. At the same time, Sauron was still using the ability of memory to memorize the route and the surrounding environment, and Be ready for a fight at any time. However, they did not encounter a battle. The two followed the dead soul for about two hundred meters in the mist, and then they seemed to pass through a corridor, and everything in front of them opened up.

They came to the wizard tower.

At this moment, they were less than 30 meters away from the wizard tower, and they could clearly see the traces of time on it, as well as a place on the left that seemed to be a side door.

The souls of the dead did not stay!

It headed directly towards the side door, because the shape of the soul was different, it passed through the door directly.

Sauron followed immediately, wanting to see if he could open the door.

But Vivian behind him immediately reached out to hold him, her little face was full of seriousness, and she said in a concentrated voice: "Brother, be careful! There seems to be something behind this door!"

The little girl's voice just fell.

With a creaking sound, the heavy side door opened in front of him, and then he saw the dead soul walking up the steps, but kept walking in place, and a man who looked like a life-like body made of metal parts. composed of living things. Beside it were two huge and heavy diamond golems. After noticing Sauron's approach, they activated at the same time and approached the side door.

"Soul scan!"

It looks like a mechanical body that constructs life. Its head is golden, and it seems to be mixed with fine gold and other substances. There are two golden gemstones in its eye sockets. After discovering the existence of Sauron, it shoots out two rays of light. It directly shrouded them, and at the same time said with the voice of the metal plate: "There is no soul imprint reserved!...Visitors who are not allowed by the authority!..."

"According to the first-level alert instructions!...Anyone who approaches without permission will be regarded as an intruder!..."

"Taling No. 7 takes over the command!..."

"Construct Spawn is activated!... No. 1 target scanning danger is E-level! ... No. 2 target scanning danger is C-level! ... There is no need to activate the magic armor! ... The magic crystal pulse cannon has been canceled! ..."

"Activate the diamond puppet golem!..."

"Initiate the command to expel or kill the intruders!...The diamond golem is fully charged!...The command is activated!..."

The series of changes is dizzying.

There seemed to be a faint light flashing on the top of the wizard tower, as if something had turned just now, and then there was the sound of extremely heavy footsteps, and two diamond golems about three meters high and weighing more than one ton moved. , the brilliance of energy appeared in their eyes, and they walked towards Sauron and Vivian.
