Chapter 380: The Soul of the Centaur (Part 3)
As those black threads were severed, the flame of Bernardino's life was gradually extinguished.
Those spirits that were bound by the paper queen must have died and shattered soon.
…… In that case, it is better to let them make full use of their surplus value.
After a moment's thought, Annan raised his right hand and chanted softly.
"Frost for wheels...... The spirit is the way. ”
As Annan's chanting fell, five blue crystal transparent flames ignited and extinguished at Annan's fingertips. A hollowed-out gorgeous frost wheel flew out of his palm like a frisbee and quickly grew larger in the air.
As the Frost Wheel landed, it crackled as the ice shaft broke and immediately regenerated, leaving a white frost mark on the ground.
The wheels came out of their hands and turned back, crashing into the creatures trapped in the cage one by one.
Because of the more powerful spirits, they had already been burned to death by the paper queen when they first met—for example, the elves, demons, and more than a dozen silver-level transcendents with condensed souls...... and the rare, two golden-tier souls that have been dyed.
The rest of these bound souls, except for a silver-tier centaur, are all bronze-level transcendent souls.
- This was also the first time Annan had seen a centaur man.
Through the state of his soul, it can be seen that he was supposed to be a muscular, wheat-skinned young man - he had an upper body similar to that of a human male, except that his chest was completely flat and not bulging, his muscles were much stronger than those of humans, and his skin was oily and shiny, like a bodybuilder with oil.
And from the waist down the belly, it is almost entirely a horse. The skin of the lower half of the centaur is also shimmering brown like his upper body, and there is no hair like that of a normal horse.
His clothes looked strange—the horses were draped in clothes that resembled chain mail, mattresses or carpets. After hanging some distance from the sides, there is a row of metallic, shuriken-like dark iron spikes, which are used as decorations or counterweights.
He had no shoes on, and his hooves were directly on the ground. The upper body wears only a leather waistcoat with a V-shaped opening at the back, and the front hangs down directly, almost covering the belly of his horse.
He was clearly armed with a bow and arrows, but he did not attack Annan.
It's just that he has mixed feelings on his face, calmly watching the Frost Wheel tear itself apart.
The reason why Paper Hime didn't kill it is also simple - because centaurs don't attack others. Even if you can explain it clearly after being attacked, you will not necessarily fight back.
Centaurs do not misunderstand others. The moment they are attacked, even before that, they can see how to answer to clear up misunderstandings, how to answer to turn enemies into friends...... And which enemies are impossible to explain in any case.
Only at the last of these enemies will they attack - and fight back if the escape is ineffective.
Because the contradictions of the present are meaningless compared to the definite future, and the things that have been lost now are things that can be thrown away. If you look a little further, it doesn't even matter if you exist or not...... Because it is difficult to make any contribution or accomplish anything throughout their lives.
In this sense, centaurs are silent madmen.
- They clearly saw through their true nature as mortals, and therefore went mad.
This character is preserved even after their deaths.
This is the silence etched into the depths of the soul.
Even when he was killed by Annan, he did not try to resist. Maybe it's because of the paper hime, maybe he saw something...... He just looked at Annan in silence and with a smile, his left hand holding the bow and arrow drooping straight down. The right hand did not even go behind him to take the arrow.
The Wheel of Frost ran over these souls. The souls were slammed into the cage after being swept away by the wheels. But they could not escape, but were dragged forward and rolled forward, their spirits gradually frozen by the cold curse and then shattered by the churning of the wheels, leaving flying white ice chips in the air as they passed.
[Kill a bronze enemy in battle and gain 300 public experience points]
[Kill a bronze enemy in battle and gain 300 public experience points]
[Kill a bronze enemy in battle and gain 300 public experience points]
……
The next moment, very neat experience tips were displayed in front of Annan.
Perhaps because they only had souls, these spirits gave Annan only half of the experience.
It was the last hint that came to mind, belonging to the centaurs, that surprised Annan:
[Kill a Silver Tier enemy in battle and gain 1850 Public XP points]
…… How is this experience unusually high?
Although it is a soul state, the experience given is higher than that of all the silver-level transcendents that Annan has killed so far.
It's because ...... Is he a centaur?
Are centaurs so much more experienced than Yaserans?
For some reason, Annan always felt that there seemed to be a story in the centaur looking at him...... It was like something to look forward to.
- Does he see his future?
But it can't be......
The essence of prophetic spells is to know the information passed on by the "future self". Until death, no follow-up information will be obtained.
He died here, and it is supposedly impossible to continue to know the follow-up information......
…… Could it be that he knew Annan?
A thought popped into Annan's head.
What did Annan do in the week......
It's just a matter of knowing a bunch of true gods and false gods, and the centaur tribe that refuses to come into contact with outsiders, or even uses prophetic spells to avoid strangers, can also get in touch.
How the hell did he do it?
Did you spend a year traveling the world?
“…… That's it. ”
Annan withdrew his gaze.
After he progressed to Silver, the amount of experience required increased dramatically.
But these experiences are enough for him to move up the next level.
However, at this time, Annan does not plan to continue to improve.
He was going to save up some experience first...... Finally, you can card the attributes, use the experience to buy the class level of the Frostwhisperer, and directly rush the perception attribute to more than 50.
As for Bernardino's experience...... Annan didn't even think about it.
It's better to say that he didn't kill him just now.
If Bernardino could really get Annan's memories and knowledge – he was referring to his previous world, not the memories that arose in this world. Maybe Bernardino will really fit in with the Book of Cranes.
Although until now, Annan does not know what kind of book of truth the Book of Cranes is.
But for now, two realms of "immortality" and "ascension and change" have been generated, and with Annan's collection, it will produce the remaining four realms. Eventually, if Annan was to ascend to godhood, he would have to choose—or choose two of these realms at random.
And for now, "Immortality" and "Rise and Change" are both parts related to the player.
This may be the reason why Annan, as the main planner, can fit the Book of Cranes......
…… And Bernardino's experience, I'm afraid, will not satisfy Annan either.
With only one-third of his soul, the experience gained after killing him is only one-third at most.
Should it be said that he is worthy of the Soul Reaver wizard who was known as the "necromancer" in ancient times?
This advancement is almost like a lich in the traditional sense......
"He believed in the wrong God."
Looking at Bernardino's lifeless corpse, Annan could not see the slightest irony in his eyes, and even a faint trace of compassion.
"What?"
Paper Ji asked back.
Vaguely, she actually felt a trace of a saint-like aura on Annan's body......
"The Pope as a bell ringer...... but took the lead in escaping death. He will definitely be liquidated. ”
Annan said calmly: "Of course, there is another thing we have to watch out for before that. ”
"Nicholas?"
"Yes."
Annan nodded and made a hypothesis: "Even if Nicholas is really under the control of the Stone Father...... And what about Bernardino?
"If he has the power of the Philosopher's Stone, the power of the infinite elements, and the extension of his lifespan, who can control him?
"Nicholas...... Will it grant his request? ”
- I think so.
Annan said in a deep voice.
