Lyon: "Are there any limitations and dangers in learning the Soul Trick?"
Nis: "For living people learning the Soul Trick, there are indeed dangers. But for the Undead, the dangers are minimal; at worst, it might result in falling into the undead state..."
"Learning this ability could lead to falling into the undead state?" Lyon freezes.
Nis nodded: "Yes, because learning the Soul Trick requires spending a lot of time in a death gas environment, sensing it, integrating it, understanding it, and ultimately controlling it. During this process, a large influx of death gas into the body makes falling possible."
"Is there a way to avoid falling?"
"There is, as long as a wizard is beside you to monitor. As soon as you can’t endure anymore, stop immediately to avoid falling to the greatest extent." Nis felt emotional: "Thinking back, when I was practicing the Soul Trick, my mentor was there to protect me."
Nis emphasized a few points, then had Lyon send him back to Originheart City.
As he left, Nis said: "If you decide to let him learn the Soul Trick, you can come to me or go to Cloudtop Library to find methods for practicing the Soul Trick. However, the books on the Soul Trick in Cloudtop Library are quite expensive; I suggest you come to me, I’m very cheap."
Lyon smiled silently, Lord Reine has already provided him with unlimited resource tilt. Though this "unlimited" isn’t truly without limits, it’s relative. Thus, using this opportunity to acquire some books from Cloudtop Library is surely doable.
After seeing off Nis, Lyon returned to the Mana Hut, looking at the silent Frode.
Frode’s eyebrows were furrowed, his expression somewhat hesitant.
"What’s troubling you? Are you torn between which method to choose?" Lyon: "Isn’t it obvious? Certainly choose to learn the Soul Trick. Although it sounds challenging, even if you truly fall into the undead state, don’t forget I have Samsara Overture, I can pull you back again without issue."
Frode hesitated for a moment: "But, I recall that you’re currently settling down, choosing the Soul Trick now feels inappropriate... I personally tend towards using the first method, consuming Soul Force, and after you’re done settling, when you have time, then I’ll practice the Soul Trick."
Lyon: "What Nis said about consuming Soul Force isn’t just about consuming the current Soul Force, it’s akin to cutting off some of the upper limit for Soul Force tolerance. It’s a rarity for you to elevate the upper limit to saturation and then consume it, it’s very regrettable."
Lyon paused: "Besides, settling down anywhere is the same. My trip to your place isn’t far, directly opening a Plane Corridor will get me there. Right, I can also have Tullas practice the Soul Trick together then."
Lyon’s tone was very firm, he was still preparing to go to Frode’s place to support their practice of Soul Trick.
This choice wasn’t decided hastily.
Initially he hadn’t planned on leaving the Barbarian Cave during this time. However, Frode’s matter was a cause, coupled with the news from Sanders that budding believers from the Outer Domain appeared near the Sky Mechanical City. Although they haven’t appeared near the Barbarian Cave, he plans to temporarily avoid it.
Additionally, not long ago he saw the Magic Painter Wizard’s name in the "Culori Chronicles", reminding him of the Tide World Map the Magic Painter Wizard drew.
If there are no surprises, Tidal World should be located within the Old Earth Continent.
This time heading to Frode, he can also conveniently make a trip back to the Old Earth Continent and explore Tidal World. According to the map, there should be many elemental lives inside, and right now he happens to need to find a compatible elemental life.
Hearing Lyon’s words, Frode no longer insists: "Then... thank you, sir."
Lyon: "I’ll set out in a few days. Meanwhile, in these couple of days, go back to Originheart City to keep an eye on Lyon for me. If he comes in, tell him I’m planning to go to the Old Earth Continent for a while, and ask if he wants to come along."
Frode nodded: "Alright."
After the instructions, Lyon took Frode back to Originheart City. Frode went to Sky Tower to handle affairs and keep an eye on Lyon, while Lyon prepared to seek Lord Reine.
