Chapter 7 The Basil Inn

Renn quickly left until he couldn't see the church.

He rolled up his sleeves and looked at it. There was originally a bruise left by the beating on his arm. It was obvious when he looked in the mirror in the apartment before, but now it was so faint that it almost disappeared.

At this moment, a heat flow was felt at the locations of scars all over the body, the muscles were a little sore and swollen, and there seemed to be many ants crawling in the body, which was crisp and itchy, but itchy.

The same is true for the area behind the head where you are hit hard. Even if you press it with your hands, you won’t feel the pain.

Renn finally knew why he was beaten by Ramsey for so long, seriously injured and sunk into the river, but he was able to recover from his injuries so quickly.

This is the function of mobile phones to absorb the soul.

What he absorbed in the square just now was Ruiz's soul, and when he traveled through time last night, he absorbed the soul of his predecessor, that is, the previous "Ren"!

Without the contribution of his predecessor, Rennes now cannot be resurrected.

Thinking of this, Renne's mood was very complicated.

Not only did he occupy other people's bodies, he did not even let his soul go, and became the nutrient for his own body recovery.

"I will definitely avenge you with my own hands." Rennes said silently.

In addition to the surge in power and the injury almost healed, two or three icons were activated in the mobile phone interface. However, there were too many people on the street, and Renn did not immediately check the function of these icons and continued to find a place to live.

While walking on the road, Rennes quietly turned on the camera and observed the people appearing in their sight.

Under the strange eyes, everyone's soul is undoubtedly revealed.

Renn discovered that most people's souls are similar, at least in terms of strength, the difference between ordinary people is very small.

After observing hundreds of people secretly along the way, he gradually figured out some rules.

The color of the soul represents a person's emotions.

When people relax and calm and their emotions fluctuate very little, their souls will appear pale; if they are excited, such as angry or angry, they will change from white to red. The redder the color, the more intense the mood fluctuations and deeper the anger.

When you are depressed, such as sadness and mourning, your soul will turn blue.

Green means happiness and joy, yellow means concern or admiration.

Pain and fear are black, disgust and dissatisfaction are pink, and numbness and dullness are gray.

However, the color of the soul is not always pure and single. People's emotions are always changing, usually mixed with two or more colors, like a mixed pigment.

If a person is far away and Renn only looks at the color changes in his soul, it is difficult to immediately distinguish a person's emotional fluctuations.

Only when he gets closer to ten steps and concentrates on a goal can he intuitively sense soul fluctuations, like empathizing with others, and most accurately understand someone's mood.

As Ren looked over, the people in the Ryan area were mainly gray, mixed with some blue or pink, and few people had green and white in their souls.

Renne sighed inwardly, it was obvious.

How can people living in slums have a good mood? Few people will be satisfied with the life here.

Color is the external manifestation of the soul, and inside, it is the true essence of the soul.

Renn noticed that something strange lurked deep in everyone's soul.

This thing is like a symbol, very small in size, and it will easily be ignored if you don’t look closely. It consists of red and black, twisted into a ball, spreads its teeth and claws, and swims in everyone’s soul like a living thing, emitting a filthy aura.

Rennes is very familiar with this aura, which is very similar to the aura on Ruiz just now. Both are obviously from the same source.

"Blood Soul Curse!"

Renn recognized immediately.

What else can the evil things that everyone has in their soul besides the Blood Soul Curse?

"Is the Blood Soul Curse in my soul the same as everyone else?" Renn was not sure because he couldn't see his soul state.

Although I heard the whisper of the Lord of Darkness in a nightmare last night, and it was certain that there was a curse, his soul was made up of two people and there was a mutated mobile phone. I wonder if there would be any difference.

Except for the Blood Soul Curse, the soul form of most people is very simple. Rennes can see inside and outside clearly at a glance, which shows that they are ordinary people.

There are only a very small number of people whose souls are both powerful and unique.

The souls of these people are similar to those of the Holy Swordsman Demps, and their souls are more solid and layered. There are not only blood soul curses in the core, but also other foreign objects exist.

Some of these foreign objects are abstract characters, while others are the appearance of some kind of creature, and they are different.

Renn knew these things were soul elements!

Each element in the soul represents a ability, and those who possess the element are all extraordinary people.

For example, Renn saw an extremely strong man who was one head taller than an ordinary person, wearing light armor on his upper body, long-booted combat boots, and a round iron shield hanging behind him. There was a sword between the shield and the back, revealing only the hilt of the sword. However, from the thick hilt, the weight of this sword was definitely not light.

He walked on the street, his heavy footsteps made a muffled sound, but his speed was not slow. The pedestrians in front of him avoided him, fearing that he would hit him.

Anyone can tell that this is an extraordinary person.

Renn observed that the soul of this extraordinary person was several times stronger than that of ordinary people. It was divided into three levels from the outside to the inside, and there were two elements at the deepest point.

He was a little curious, quietly speeding up his pace to follow the other person, focusing on his mind and looking straight at his soul.

The details of the two elements are enlarged in the eyes, one is a white three-color symbol, and the other is a gray stone symbol.

Renne didn't know what these two elements were called, but the intuitive feeling from the elements made him understand the role of these two elements.

The white symbol represents pure power, giving the other party a huge power far beyond ordinary people;

The gray stone talisman can make people's skin tough and strong, with strong body, resist ordinary damage, and improve their ability to resist the whole body.

"This man is an 'iron guard', no wonder he is wearing armor."

Rennes doesn't know much about the extraordinary profession, but he also knows that the Iron Guard is one of the most common extraordinary professions.

Iron Guards are good at defense. Although their simple strength is not as good as "Berserkers", they are balanced in offense and defense, have a long-lasting physical strength, and are tough in will, and can adapt to various combat environments. Many nobles and chambers of commerce like to hire Iron Guards as guards, or even train them themselves, so they are very popular.

The disadvantage of the Iron Guard is its slow speed, but this is relative to other extraordinary professions.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this guard walked very fast, took a long way in one step, and left others behind in just a few steps.

Renn didn't want to follow him again, but saw him walking into a hotel on the side of the road.

This hotel is very large and occupies the best location on the street, almost in the center of the Ryan District, with a total of three stories high and a large courtyard behind it.

Even though it is far away, you can hear the noise coming from the hotel lobby.

“Basil Hotel.”

Renn observed for a moment, and from time to time, guests entered and left the hotel, and found that many of these people were extraordinary people. After a while, they saw three.

This immediately aroused his interest.

It's still morning and there's not even lunch time. This hotel is so lively and with so many extraordinary people coming and going, it's obviously not an ordinary hotel.

Rennes entered through the gate and a strong smell of alcohol came to his face.

Looking around, there were more than a dozen tables in the spacious hall, and half of them had guests. They were drinking wine and making loud noises, and no one noticed that anyone had come in.

People gather around the table, not just drinking, but playing cards.

"It's time for me to play cards, haha, you're dead in this round!"

"Fireball Technique, kill you!"

"What kind of luck is your hand?"

"Damn, I don't agree, I'll do it again."

Various voices came one after another, holding the cards in your hands, with a focused and rich expression.

Some people caught good cards and happily fed a big mouthful of beer; some people lost and cursed; some were scratching their heads and worried about their bad luck; the onlookers also made a fuss, and a few guys were walking through the hall with wine trays, and the entire hotel was noisy and non-stop.

Of course, not everyone is playing cards, they just sit at the table with their friends and drink and chat, as if they are communicating some information.

When Renn saw this scene, he was shocked.

This was completely different from what he expected. Then they remembered that they were playing a game called "Wanling Card".

This game has been popular in the Empire for many years. At first it was a simulated battle between the extraordinary profession "Witcher of the Spirits". Later, the gameplay gradually spread and more and more people played it. The Alchemist Association saw business opportunities, improved the rules of the game, and officially released various cards. Fans spent money to buy and collect them, and then fought with friends on the table.

The Wanling Card is not only popular among ordinary people, but many nobles and extraordinary people are also happy.

Some enthusiasts with strong financial resources have set up clubs for this purpose and hold competitions regularly. The competitions are divided into grades according to size. The winner not only has a bonus, but also receives special titles and is sought after.

With such popularity, there is even a profession that specializes in playing cards for a living, called a card player.

Renn has never played Wanling Card, he only watched his classmates play it.

Because cards are not cheap and are not easy to collect.

When playing a game of cards, each person must have at least one set of 60 cards in his hand. Depending on the quality of the cards, the price will also rise. The cheapest ordinary card only costs a few copper lisots, while the rarest legendary card is said to be worth tens of thousands of gold shields, which is amazing!

Rennes bypassed the group of guests who came to play cards early in the morning and came to the hotel counter.

Before he could speak, a thick voice came from behind the counter, and even in such a noisy hall, he could hear it clearly.

"Young man, do you want to stay in a hotel? Or come and play cards?"

A passionate face raised from behind the counter. There was no age on this face. Most of the face was blocked by the dense red beard. The huge nose was very conspicuous. There were brown eyes in the deep sleep sockets, thick eyebrows, and the red hair on the top was shaved into a very eye-catching Moxigan hairstyle.

When Renn saw this cockscomb-like hairstyle, he almost couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh.

Because this is a dwarf.

The counter was only half a person tall, and Ren could see the dwarf's body. Even if the other person was only tall to his chest, his figure developed horizontally, his arms were thicker than his thighs, his waist was big and round, and his muscles were strong, like a big wine barrel. His weight might be twice as heavy as his own. If he had a fight, he would have to be beaten.

Dwarves are not humans, they have never been cursed and are born with brute force.

Rennes secretly investigated the other party's soul. His soul was different from that of humans, but it was even more powerful than ordinary extraordinary people.

He was a little surprised that he could see a dwarf in the Rein District.

Dwarves are not uncommon in empires, especially in large cities with mountain or coastal areas. Many dwarves settled down and operated various businesses, and some became formal people of the empire.

Longshande also has dwarves, but they all live in the relatively wealthy Honeyton District or the Silver Star District where the Superior Academy is located, so they usually don’t come out easily.
