Unsurprisingly, upon hearing Li Wei's very simple words, those ten Souls were all very excited. So even began to tremble all over. However, they didn't say anything, as if they were unable to speak.
In the end, nine out of the ten souls directly nodded in thanks to Li Wei. The next second, they were each taken away by a soft ray of light. They would return to their Howorld and have a relatively Perfect Ending.
At the sa ti, Li Wei naturally gained 9 points of Collective Sanity, going from 23 points to 32 points.
But the soul of that Fourth-Circle Legendary Mage stayed behind. At this ti, as a breeze swept past, the grey fog was gently lifted like fine gauze. That Mage soul, whose vague outline could only be seen originally, gradually beca three-dinsional, turning into a graceful, beautiful, and mysterious woman. Even though she was still in a soul body state at this mont, this scene still made Li Wei feel that it was quite brilliant.
Of course, none of this was important. But why was she unwilling to return to her Howorld? Did she have an unfulfilled wish, or—
Just as Li Wei was guessing, he suddenly felt Hathaway beside him beco a bit nervous. It seed she had already recognized this woman.
"I know who she is. The Chief Witch of the Moor Kingdom five hundred years ago, the daughter of the Moor Kingdom's King—Istana! She was once best friends with Princess Mary, and even served for a ti as the Vice President of the Locke Capital Mage Association, as well as the Dean of the Spellcaster Academy. However, she mysteriously disappeared four hundred years ago. And my master said that Istana was one of the Witches with the highest Innate Talent potential among the Nine Great Kingdoms. To think she was actually hunted down and killed by a Samsara Traveler!"
Hearing these words from Hathaway, Li Wei sighed in his heart. It seed this was fate. How truly wondrous.
At this ti, Istana's soul seed to be saying sothing, but it couldn't be heard at all. Fortunately, identical information quickly surfaced in front of Li Wei and Hathaway.
[Because the Moor Kingdom fell and was defeated as early as three hundred years ago, and the Moor Kingdom's King also lost and died in a battle with his whereabouts unknown, as a second-generation player, Istana's soul has nowhere to go. She is willing to stay and beco your Court Witch. She is willing to contribute her all to you, including her Loyalty, and only hopes that you can take her in.]
[Warning: As a princess in distress from a fallen kingdom, Istana carries an extraordinary karma upon her. Once she is Resurrected, she may cause unknowable effects to the person who takes her in.]
Eh?
This was truly unexpected. Right, a second-generation player didn't have a Howorld in the true sense. Moreover, this was a princess in distress, although a centuries-old princess...
Li Wei's heart was quite moved, but he was also sowhat worried. Just at this ti, Hathaway suddenly said, "Your Excellency Istana, it is impossible for you to have the opportunity to be a Court Witch. We cannot bring trouble upon ourselves. But perhaps you can inject your soul into the soul of my Hunting Pet. Only in this way will I take you in."
The next second, he saw Istana's soul reveal a brilliant smile. She first bowed in thanks to Li Wei, then subsequently turned into a streak of black light and sank into Hathaway's hand.
And Hathaway's expression imdiately beca faintly abnormal, though it was still considered controllable.
But a few seconds later, she still burst out with a curse.
"Fuck! This old bitch deducted ten points of my Sanity!"
"How could it be so much?" Li Wei was very surprised.
"Because this is actually a type of transaction, but I have no way to explain the specific details and principles to you. In short, from today onwards, I also have my own Adai. Ha, don't look at with that kind of gaze. It's not that exaggerated. She will regain her freedom after three hundred years, but during these three hundred years, she will be Diligent and Responsible in assisting . In short, although this kind of situation isn't recognized by the Nine-Star Council, it also hasn't been prohibited."
"Phew, darling, we'll have to work hard from now on and have a few more children. I still prefer the feeling of having 20 points of Sanity. The right now is like a despairing, irritable housewife."
"Don't you still have 10 points of Collective Sanity?"
"No, you don't understand. Or you'll know when your Collective Sanity drops soday. Anyway, don't worry. Now I can take so ti to open that Ancient Imperial Mage Purple Card. Rest assured, nothing will be delayed. I feel like I can even Upgrade the Mage Tower to Level 4. Exchanging 10 points of Sanity for this much knowledge reserve, I made a huge profit, okay?"
Having said that, Hathaway didn't bother caring about the remaining Souls in the grey fog and turned around to step out of the grey fog.
And at this ti, deep within the grey fog, there were still 27 even more numb and pitiful Souls standing blankly in place.
At this mont, a Human Silhouette also condensed from the grey fog. It was precisely that elderly Nine-Star Council official who had once planned out the Profession Cards and Combat Cards for Li Wei.
"Senior, since these Souls are holess, I wish to donate them to the Nine-Star Council."
Li Wei quickly said.
"Hmm, donation is a pretty good thod, but it's actually not necessary. They do not belong to the Alliance of Heavenly Lords, so the core rules of Humanistic Care cannot manage them. Even if you let them go, you won't receive the Collective Sanity reward. Therefore, don't be polite, accept them. This similarly will not lower your Collective Sanity either."
"However, because they cannot return to their Howorld and their roots cannot be found, coupled with the fact that their own consciousness and mories have dissipated too much, once they are Resurrected, there is a high probability they will be unable to communicate normally. You can only treat them as your Royal Guard, or send them all to the All-Heavens Temple to farm so Four-Star Attribute Cards."
"In short, it's fine as long as you don't feel burdened. Moreover, if they stay by your side, as the days and months multiply, perhaps one day they will gradually recall sothing. But no matter what, no matter how, they will forever be loyal to you and your successors."
"Let it be so. As for my appearance this ti, it is also because there is a matter I wish to discuss with you. Li Wei, to be frank, currently on the Ascension Continent, you have basically strived for all the advantages you can strive for. Next will be a long wait. Regardless of whether Tyrant William or Duke Will and his son wins or loses, you will be the party that is roped in."
"Therefore, do you want to earn so extra inco? We currently have a Special Mission that requires a squad of Tier 4 Legend Multiverse Lords to execute. This mission is very rare, so I thought of you. On this trip, you and your other companions will all be strangers; there are no connections, nor will it expose your identity. How about it?"
"Ah? This works too? Isn't it against the rules?"
Li Wei was stunned, almost wanting to throw this old man in front of him out like an Infiltrator!
Are you joking? What he was currently executing was a Special Mission ah.
"It's a little against the rules, but the problem isn't big. That's why I'm taking this opportunity to tell you about it. Otherwise, why do you think the settlent ti was delayed to ten days? Actually, under normal circumstances, it could be done in five days—"
"I'm not going!"
Before the other party could finish, Li Wei flatly refused.
"No, listen to finish first. You really don't have to worry about the other aspects. It's truly because our departnt regards you highly that we're taking the risk of breaking the rules to talk to you privately. We wouldn't even be interested in other people. Listen to the details; it's not too late to disagree."
"I'm not listening. If I listen, I'll be forced to go."
Li Wei's attitude remained resolute, and there wasn't even a ripple in his heart.
Are you joking? 32 points of Collective Sanity was enough for him to think very clearly.
This wasn't a question of whether he could go or whether it broke the rules.
Seeing Li Wei's attitude so resolute, the old man also didn't know whether to laugh or cry and felt very helpless. Whatever he wanted to say was glared back by Li Wei's resolute gaze.
"Alright. Believe , when you reach my position in the future, you will understand. No, actually, in another 90 years, you yourself will also have to obey the Nine-Star Council's deploynt orders and go execute this type of mission. I know you're worried your strength isn't enough. Actually—sigh, then forget it. This matter cannot be leaked. Let it be so."
As Soon As The Words Fell, the old man helplessly left. And the surrounding grey fog suddenly began to shrink rapidly. The next second, along with those twenty-seven Souls, it turned into a fist-sized grey sphere.
At the sa ti, several lines of information silently surfaced.
[You have decided to take in these twenty-seven holess, pitiful Souls and bring them to the All-Heavens Temple for Resurrection. Due to their special nature, the All Deities of the Heavens need to charge a certain fee. Please pay twenty-seven Eight-star Golden Cards within the next fifty years.]
[Friendly reminder: Their recovery after Resurrection may take six months. And because their Profession Cards and Professional Fate, as well as Combat Cards, have all been lost, they will be reborn and Resurrected as fifteen-year-old youths. At that ti, you will need to dispatch soone or personally guide them, and give them new nas.]
[Friendly reminder: Their greatest advantage is their excellent plasticity, permanent Loyalty, and they will very easily promote to Tier 4 Legend, provided you are willing to invest enough Resources. Of course, Tier 4 Legend will also be their maximum upper limit.]
——
It sounded pretty good.
Li Wei imdiately stopped hesitating and went straight to the All-Heavens Temple, first resurrecting and rebirthing these twenty-seven Souls into fifteen-year-old boys and girls. He then randomly gave them nas and incorporated them into the Royal Guard sequence.
Below Tier 4 Legend, they were the best Warriors, but could not serve as commanders of any level.
After arranging these, the Inheritance of those nine Souls who had been willing to return to their Howorld finally arrived belatedly.
Although this wasn't the ti for the half-yearly supply replenishnt, Li Wei still received nine special Contract Docunts, representing his legitimacy in inheriting these nine people's territory Inheritance.
Of course, this was akin to opening a grand blind box. As long as he opened a blind box similar to Ah Qing's Territory, he would make a huge profit.
At this ti, Li Wei first took out the first Contract Docunt and gazed at the contents on it for a few seconds. He imdiately saw through this Contract Docunt an extrely dilapidated and desolate world. Let alone living creatures and humans, even the air no longer existed. The entire planet had even turned into shattered asteroid fragnts.
Fine, no need to think about this one.
The next second, this Contract Docunt turned into a wisp of smoke and dust, dissipating without a trace.
