Chapter 510 Soul Crystal
"A soul crystal exploded?"

In the flickering room, seeing the phantom of the mad prince completely disappearing into the blue flames, Thorne immediately stepped forward and waved his hand to disperse the flames, and picked up the one on the ground that he noticed the first time. Arrived black spar.

This is a pure black spar the size of a ping pong ball, and under the illumination of the light technique, it has a cold luster.

When the spar was placed in the palm of his hand, he also felt a cold touch similar to the breath of negative energy, crystal clear like winter ice.

After checking the properties of the soul spar, Thorn's expression flashed with joy.

From the deep black light in the soul spar in his hand, it can be clearly seen that this is a high-quality spar.

Feeling the power of death filled in the spar, he can judge with certainty that the purity of this spar is definitely more pure than the spar he exchanged from the manager of the demiplane back then.

This also means that the conservative quality of the soul spar is also a spar with legendary quality.

After all, this soul spar was transformed by an undead creature who had been trapped in this castle for thousands of years.

The mad prince who survived countless years of pain and suffering, the quality of the soul crystal turned into after death is naturally very high.

The soul spar is similar to a container for the soul, and the power contained in it is the power of the soul.

Usually only the life of undead creatures with pure spirit bodies can be transformed into material structures when they dissipate.

Like low-level ghosts, they can only produce some fingernail-sized soul fragments at most, and they are often used as charging materials by necromancer wizards, or to make undead puppets.

And like this spar of legendary quality in Thorne's hands, it can almost be called a priceless treasure.

Even so, it is not only spirit-like undead creatures that can produce this kind of spar that contains the power of the soul.

Many evil spellcasters also have many ways to imprison the souls of dead mortals, and then transform them into soul hedrons.

In this world, the demons from the bottomless abyss and the demons from Baator Hell are the ones who love souls the most, but these evil creatures don't want souls.

Even if the souls of kobolds who are as weak as goblins are given to them, they will not be interested.

Because the souls of these little guys are too weak, they can easily collapse due to being tortured during the tempering process.

This is like the jade stones that are divided into three, six, and nine grades, and the goblin kobolds are undoubtedly the lowest kind. It is almost as difficult as reaching the sky to make a fortune with this kind of jade.

Relatively speaking, these evil ones like to torture the mortals with the highest potential in the main material world most, and use this to obtain high-quality souls.

Especially those powerful professions.

Among the many professions, the most prominent are ascetics such as monks.

It is precisely because these self-masochists especially like to cultivate strong willpower through this kind of inhuman self-torture practice.As a result, even if the soul of such a professional does not need to undergo any tempering or torture, after being acquired, it will easily become a high-quality soul.

This kind of very cost-effective soul can easily be transformed into a powerful subordinate if it falls into the hands of demons.

This is why compared to the soul of the kobold goblin, the soul of an ordinary person seems inconspicuous, but their potential is simply incomparable to these weak little guys.

When these mortals go through some ordeals, or fall into the hands of demons, and survive all kinds of terrible torments that cannot be described in words, their lower quality souls become very pure.

In other words, the soul of every mortal is like a jade sealed in a rock without any polishing. As long as it is honed, it will bloom with the pure light of jade.

Of course, in the process of 'polishing', a lot of defective products will definitely be eliminated. If the spirit of the soul collapses in the pain, it means that the 'jade' has been broken and becomes useless value.

The elimination rate of weak souls is naturally very high.

Many evil spellcasters who prefer to use this method to obtain souls usually choose more targets to inflict painful torture on them.

In this indescribable process, often one or two excellent souls appear among these goals, which is a very good harvest.

The devil of Baator Hell is definitely a good hand in this method of tempering the soul through painful torture.

Because these cunning guys are best at using mental pain to torture mortals who fall into their hands.

Just like polishing jade, they carefully inflict pain and tribulation bit by bit, removing the gray shell of the soul layer by layer, and finally obtain those souls that can shine like jade.

Therefore, most mortals in the main material world would rather die than have to sell their souls to the devils under the persuasive temptation.

Relatively speaking, the demons of the bottomless abyss are much simpler and rougher.

They don't master exquisite polishing techniques like devils, and they usually like to inflict pain directly on their bodies, and it doesn't matter whether these poor unlucky ones can bear it or not, the forced torture is over.

As for how many souls will be broken during the whole process, that's not for them to worry about, they just need to collect what is left in the end.

Of course, in addition to devils and demons, many evil necromancers are also veterans of tempering souls, and their methods are even better than devils.

For how to extract the soul of the dead, how to refine it to perfection, and how to make it into a usable soul spar, wizards of any school of magic cannot compare with the school of necromancy.

If the wizards of the Necromancer School did not master this skill, it would be difficult for them to form a large-scale army of undead.

Because necromancers with soul spars usually transform high-quality souls into powerful skeleton knights, elite ghosts, and cadavers, while low-quality souls will summon vast numbers of skeletons, ghouls, zombies, and so on.

Therefore, refining the soul and making soul crystals are almost the necessary skills of every Necromancer, which means that they will often embark on the path of evil, and eventually become a lich that makes the world change their faces.

In the battle just now, through the intermittent words of the mad prince, Thorne guessed that the reason why the other party became like this was definitely from the undead lord Odyssey.

This made him want to understand one thing, that is, in ancient times, why the mad prince could sweep all the surrounding kingdoms and city-states with the Doomsday Legion in his hands.

Obviously, the mad prince Alois sold his soul to the demon king Otis, and the price he paid should be to turn into an undead creature and guard the bone castle forever.

Thinking of this, Thorne vaguely guessed that this castle definitely hides secrets related to the undead lord Otis, and the purpose of Winster guiding them here may also be related to this matter.

Because in the process of killing the mad prince Alois, Thorne also heard the other party shouting Winster's name with endless anger before dying.

However, as an undead creature whose strength has reached the Legend of Destiny.

Not only did the mad prince Alois fail to kill them all here at the first time, but he was also suppressed by most of his strength, and he couldn't even leave this place.

So much so that he can only rely on small means to attract intruding adventurers.

It can be seen from this that when the mad prince was guarding the Castle of Bones, Winster definitely visited this place.

Not only did he explore the secrets here, but he also used his own means to successfully seal the mad prince here, so that the mental body of this unlucky bastard was suffering from pain all the time, otherwise he would not have hated Winster. so deep.

This is why the quality of this legendary soul spar in Thorn's hands is so high.

Because Winster's true identity was originally a lich proficient in the necromancy school, he naturally mastered the skillful means of tempering the soul, and this unlucky mad prince Alois obviously became his test product for tempering the soul.

In the end, under the guidance of Winster, the group of them not only eliminated the mad prince Alois, but also reaped the fruit of successful tempering.

As for Winster's real intention in doing so, why did he give up such a precious thing.Thorne believes that as long as they continue to explore, they will definitely understand the secrets inside.

Looking at this high-quality soul spar in his hand, he was very satisfied.

Because he often reads books in the wizard tower, he has mastered a lot of mysterious knowledge related to magic, so he naturally knows the true value of this spar very well.

The legendary-quality soul spar in his hand can not only be used as the soul core of the legendary-level diamond golem, or the high-intelligence tower spirit of the wizard tower.

At the same time, it can also make advanced magic equipment related to this attribute.

If it is handed over to a wizard who is proficient in making magic equipment, it is not difficult to produce a legendary quality magic equipment with enough raw materials.

The main reason why legendary equipment is so rare is that the most significant difference between high-level magic equipment and legendary equipment is that it lacks a trace of domain or law power related to the legend of destiny.

Magic equipment without this kind of power, no matter how good it is, still cannot be called a piece of legendary equipment.

And this kind of soul spar that has reached the legendary quality is one of the most critical materials for making legendary equipment.

For example, a pair of legendary wrist guards on his wrist.

The reason why the quality of this piece of equipment can reach the legendary quality is that the decisive factor is that during the production process, a soul spar of an elder of the wind element was fused, allowing this piece of equipment to successfully obtain a powerful wind element power.

However, it is a pity for Thorne that the negative energy aura in this spar does not match his own attributes at all.

If it is a soul spar transformed by a demon, he can fuse it to make his desert wind sword reach the golden and legendary quality.

Although he couldn't use this soul spar, he didn't feel much loss because of it.Because he has already thought of a plan on how to maximize the value of this soul spar.

Thorn decided to use this high-quality soul spar to make a construct with the strength to reach the Legend of Destiny: the Diamond Golem.

How could a complete wizard tower be without this top puppet golem.

If this kind of construct whose strength reaches the legendary level is successfully produced, then the Wizard Tower in Waterfall Town will truly have the capital to be free from any forces.

Even in the face of the legendary powerhouse, with the diamond golem, the wizard tower has the strength to challenge it head-on.

However, things are not as simple as imagined.

Although the most critical core material of the diamond golem has been collected by him, this does not mean that it can be completed in a short time.

After all, this is a puppet golem whose strength has reached the legendary level. If you want to make it successfully, you still need to think long-term.

First of all, this kind of diamond golem, which is close to the highest level, can be successfully activated only when the activation structure cast by the legendary wizard occurs.

Thorne wasn't too worried about this.

With their strength, the two steel golems made in the wizard's tower were also unable to activate them.The reason why it was able to be made was entirely due to the assistance of Malvisa's divine power.

If they really want to make it, Thorne believes that the other party will definitely be willing to use their divine power to help them.

What really makes him feel tricky is the second, which is the most realistic condition.

That is, the cost of the diamond golem is very expensive, because the material used to make it is diamond, which is commonly known as: diamond.

The main material of this kind of construct whose strength reaches the legendary level is to use diamonds to shape its body, and only the most wealthy legendary wizard can create it.

The price of making a diamond golem, I am afraid that the financial resources of all the territories in the entire Emerald Field may not be able to be made.

In this regard, Thorne could only smile helplessly, and planned to think of a way when he came back.

"My teacher said that this soul spar is an advance payment for you." Seeing Thorne approaching, the witch Cecil put away the simple magic amulet in her palm.

Remuneration paid in advance?
A look of understanding flashed across Thorne's face, and then he put away the spar as if nothing had happened.

He looked at the witch with some doubts and asked: "Since there is a reward, there is naturally something that I need to do. Can you tell me more about it?"

The moment he obtained this soul spar, he understood that things were not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and he was also prepared for this kind of heart.

After all, this is a very high-quality soul spar, a precious item that even legendary professionals will scramble for after seeing it.

He wouldn't believe that someone would give in with great kindness.

"I'm not too sure about this at the moment." Cecil shook her head slightly, and turned her gaze to the altar where the mad prince appeared before, "Perhaps if you enter the secret passage hidden under the altar, you will know everything."
