051. Problem solving (1)
"I know you have many questions, about the soul fire, about the frost crown, or anything else, and I am very happy to answer your victorious questions. However, considering that the clergy of the Order and the Knights' Temple is outside, we don't have enough time."
Urban I floated in front of Talos and said in a serious tone: "This is fine. I can answer the three questions you want to know most now. I will seal the remaining information in the Frost Crown according to the importance. When your strength reaches the requirements, you will naturally get relevant information. Let's start."
"Great." Talos blurted out, "What is soul fire?"
This question has troubled Talos for a long time. He had always thought that soul fire was the product of the accidental sublimation of the soul in an accident. Bruce's appearance made him begin to doubt the correctness of the conclusion, and the information revealed between the lines of Urban I just now proved this.
Facing Talos's hopeful eyes, Urban I shook his head: "A question I really want to answer but don't know how to answer. In fact, until now, I don't know what the soul fire is - put away your disappointed eyes, boy."
"I can only tell you that soul fire is a very rare unknown force that even the gods and evil gods are coveting. They will awaken randomly in certain creatures. The chosen ones will naturally hate and fight each other. You should have a deep understanding of this. The soul fire continues to devour other soul fires until the last chosen one falls and the most powerful soul fire is born."
Talos nodded. Before seeing Bruce, he never knew that he would experience such a deep hatred that he wanted to crush the other party's bones and ashes.
For some reason, Urban I's description of soul fire inexplicably made Talos think of a very appropriate description - raising a Gu.
"That's good, remember to hide yourself, the God of Order and the Knights, the Goddess of the Moon and the Lord of War, are all secretly looking for the Chosen One and trying to possess that power."
On the magic flying carpet, Talos's tail swayed uneasyly. Standing on the opposite side of the gods and being searched by three powerful divine powers are two different concepts, especially when these three powerful divine powers are the most powerful gods in the human camp, the elf camp and the orc camp.
"When I was the king of the ancient Sardinian dynasty and earlier, I met two chosen ones, one dwarf and one my queen Jane. Of course, they all ended in tragedy, with the dwarf's soul fire inherited by Jane, and Jane died of a gluttony curse."
"According to my speculation, if you can successfully strip out all seven original desires, your achievements can be comparable to any powerful divine power! But—"
Urban I changed his subject and warned with unprecedented seriousness: "When you are promoted to the fifth level and become an epic knight, remember not to use divine nature as material to ignite the divine fire, or randomly launch an impact on the divine realm, regardless of the advice of a certain elder or the knowledge from ancient books. If my speculation is correct, when the soul fire is promoted again, it will automatically transform into divine fire."
With the intuition of a male Naga, Talos subconsciously asked: "The soul fire may automatically transform into divine fire is just one of the reasons?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Urban I's face made of light and shadow, and he did not deny: "Yes, you feel very sharp."
"Why?"
"Gods are not the end of all living beings. There are other forces in the world that can match the gods. Most importantly, the way of the gods is wrong."
But the most critical part is why the path of the gods is wrong and what is the right path? Urban I did not intend to tell Talos now.
“What if my second question is this?”
Talos hates the feeling of being scratched by a kitten called curious.
Urban I ignored Talos' longing eyes and refused ruthlessly: "Then I can only suggest you change another question."
"I remember someone bragging just now, 'There is no one in the world who knows soul fire better than me'." Talos unwillingly used the provocation method.
"I can only reveal so much about Soul Fire at the moment. Other more important parts will be known after you advance to the fifth level. Sometimes it is not a good thing to know too much. Not to mention the gods, even the mages have the magic to read other people's memories. It's not that I stubbornly think that you can't keep the secret, but that your third level strength is really hard to reassure."
"What's more, the poor man standing in front of you now dies because he knows a secret that is too important, so hurry up, Talos."
"Well, then-" Talos recalled the secret and solemn advice that Urban I mentioned in his diary, took it out of the ring of space, and joined a piece of parchment, "Would you mind explaining the problem of the Seven Days Bible? Why would you warn later generations in your diary not to read the Seven Days Bible? What does it have to do with the Illuminated Sonata of Truth?"
“The Seven Days Bible!?”
At this moment, Urban I's face really changed. He grabbed the parchment from Talos's hand, his face was intertwined with shock, hatred, fear, and a deep sense of powerlessness. His hands were trembling, and even the light and shadow that made him flashed violently like distorted videos.
Inside the Frost Crown, it was quiet for a full ten seconds, and then Urban I asked in a depressed tone: "How many seven-day Bibles do you have in your hands so far?"
"Three articles."
Talos recalled that the first article came from ancient books found in the auction house, the second article came from the parchment paper passed to him by Bruce, and the third article came from the second movement of "Sonata of Truth" "The Enlightenment of Truth".
"Three articles? I can't help but look at you with admiration."
Urban I made a joke easily, but he was not very successful in his expression or tone. He quickly noticed this, so he stopped trying to disguise and let the most real solemnity climb onto his face.
He sighed and said, "The Seven Days Bible is a key, a key to unlock the truth of the world."
"The gods are not gods, but parasites in the world, cancers, the source of all evil, and a stumbling block to save the world with truth. If the so-called truth of the world you mentioned is the will of truth, I already know."
Talos retelled what Norman said to him after he woke up that day.
"No." Urban I immediately denied it, "that was just the most trivial appearance, or - an illusion!"
