Chapter 38: What Use Is Soul Flame

~7 min read 1,272 words

Lan and Anna rushed in, one covering her mouth and holding her arms, the other holding her legs, and dragged Lisha out alive.

"Hmm hmm hmm... let me go! I want to preach to him, I want him to feel the power of my lord, let me go!" By the time Lisha broke free, she didn't know where she had been dragged.

Ang didn't know that Lisha was working hard to spread his prestige, but recently there were indeed many inexplicable soul flames drifting to him, especially the undead fire near the temple, and when Lisha and Ouke were near, it was as if these three things were registers for soul flames, and a large wave of soul flames would surge over after approaching.

However, there were more and more soul flames, but Ang didn't know how to use them.

Up to now, Ang had discovered several uses for soul flames. One was as energy for transferring items within the Palace of Rest. For example, transferring grain required soul flames, and transferring the Book of Huang Tong also required soul flames. However, the Book of Huang Tong not only required soul flames but also unsealing, because it was sealed.

This shattered Lord Nai Ge's dream of regaining freedom, causing him to like projecting more and more. Now he was almost always projecting on Ang, pointing fingers.

It was also fortunate that Ang was a skeleton and had no private life. Otherwise, he would probably find a way to add a few more layers of seals to him.

Secondly, soul flames could restore Ang's consumed soul energy. This was a very solid usage, but Ang didn't consume soul energy much. He didn't fight with others. Except for using Death's Scythe to harvest crops, the consumption of soul energy was very little.

Thirdly... hmm, there would be relatively large consumption when replacing damaged bones, but Ang had already found other ways to repair bones, which was the cool and refreshing aura contained in the Wind of Rest, so there was no need to replace bones anymore.

The soul flames that couldn't be used up were stored in large quantities. He, the undead fire, Lisha, Ouke, the little zombie, and the angel skeleton could consume a part, but that only occupied a very small part. Just the soul flames offered by people who came to worship at the temple every day couldn't be consumed by them.

Fortunately, Ang had a leather ornament that was like a bottomless pit. Just stuff the extra soul flames into it.

And with the increase of soul flames, the leather ornament seemed to have some subtle changes, and there were more and more magic runes on it.

Could this leather ornament evolve?

Ang asked Lord Nai Ge this question, but strangely, Lord Nai Ge couldn't see the existence of this leather ornament. He knew there was such a leather ornament on Ang's hand, but he couldn't see it, not knowing the reason.

Because there wasn't much use, Ang didn't care much about this thing and didn't realize at all that Lisha had already spread his prestige to Bingcheng.

But even if he found out, he wouldn't pay too much attention. He was just a skeleton who farmed. He didn't pay much attention to things that didn't help him farm.

…………

Two days later, his whole body was itchy, but only the place on his hand that had been touched by Lisha's holy light had no change. Silver Coin finally confirmed that a miracle had truly happened to him. The woman who was shouting 'My lord Ang' could really cure his sequelae.

"Lan, who was that beautiful lady the day before yesterday? May I visit her?" Silver Coin found Lan and Anna.

"Lady? What lady? Which day?" Lan looked blank.

"It was that lady who was dragged away by you and Miss Anna that day."

"Oh, that's Lisha. She went back. She lives in the extreme north, very far from here. It takes a half-year journey to get home. Do you want to visit her? That requires full preparation. The Wind of Rest in the wild is too fierce."

"Oh oh, so far away. It seems Lady Lisha has extraordinary strength, being able to walk for half a year against the Wind of Rest. Too amazing," Silver Coin said admiringly.

He now knew why this world was short of grain. The Wind of Rest that blew punctually every evening was the Wind of Death. All living things couldn't survive under the Wind of Rest, even undead couldn't live, let alone crops.

A delicate, tender living person actually walked for half a year under the Wind of Rest to get home? Tricking slimes? Only those brainless soft-bodied monsters would believe this kind of talk.

But Lan clearly didn't want them to meet, using this kind of lame excuse just to make him retreat in the face of difficulties.

On the way back, Silver Coin kept thinking about whether to use his ultimate move. Before he could make a decision, passing a corner, a clump of smoke suddenly rushed from the ground onto him. It was a ghost.

The two maids subconsciously wanted to take action, but were stopped by him, because a woman's voice came from the ghost: "When the Wind of Rest blows, go out against the wind and turn left."

Silver Coin vaguely remembered that this was exactly the voice of the woman who shouted 'My lord Ang' that day.

That evening, after the Wind of Rest blew, Silver Coin went out against the wind and turned left. The two maids were much more sensitive to the Wind of Rest than him and couldn't go out at all, so he could only go by himself.

Not long after going out, he was pulled into a ditch.

For thousands of years, people had long summarized a pile of ways to deal with the Wind of Rest, such as a large number of pits, caves, ditches, and tunnels. If there was the ability of a infrastructure maniac, it would be fine to directly dig out a city connected by ditches on the ground.

However, it was meaningless. The population was too small, and no matter how many ideas there were, they couldn't be realized.

In the ditch, Silver Coin saw Lisha. He wanted to say something urgently, but was given a shushing finger by Lisha, and then led him through twists and turns to a cave.

"Guild Leader Silver Coin, I heard you want to see me?" Lisha stopped and turned to Silver Coin.

Silver Coin rubbed his nose. He just went to find Lan and Anna, and was found by Lisha as soon as he went out. How much had this Bingcheng been infiltrated by Lisha?

After thinking for a while, Silver Coin pulled up his sleeve, showed the place that had been shone by Lisha's holy light that day, and asked: "You showed a miracle on my hand."

Lisha smiled slightly: "That is the power of my lord Ang."

Silver Coin pulled his sleeve higher, revealing the festering skin underneath, and asked: "Then can you show a miracle here again?"

The sequelae had already broken out, but because of Lisha, he endured it without taking medicine. He really wanted to figure out if Lisha really mastered the ability to cure his sequelae.

Lisha's face showed an 'as expected' expression: "I knew it was like this. Corrosion Mark, the Church of Light's means of controlling people is still so vicious."

Silver Coin's expression shook. Corrosion Mark? Means of control? Could it be that his guess was true? ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
