Qing Kong didn't drink the Saint Devil's medicine, but she took the bottle and sniffed it.
"Stop smelling it. This medicine is not poisonous." said Goodwin. After all, the medicine had been hidden in his crotch for several weeks, so it was very safe.
Qing Kong ignored him. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she sniffed the scent of the Holy Magic Medicine again. After that, she closed the bottle and sat cross-legged on the ground as if she was meditating.
After meditating for about two minutes, she opened her eyes. "Indeed, this medicine is compatible with my soul.”
"What the hell? You can tell if it's a match just by smelling it?”Goodwin was speechless. "I think everyone else has to take a half-day test first. You're not professional.”
"It's more professional than listening to fate.”Qing Kong retorted. "This is a secret technique of our Darklight Clan.”
"Alright then. Can you drink it now?”he said.
Qing Kong looked at him as if he was an idiot.
"Oh, right, the Saint Devil's medicine can't be drunk directly. You have to use the World-Experiencing Chisels to carve a pattern on your soul first.”Goodwin remembered what Regina had told him. "People like us who have the Soul Imprint don't need these steps, so we forgot about it.”
Qing Kong picked up the bottle and drank the medicine.
"What the hell? You can drink it directly?”
"This is a secret technique of the Darklight Clan." she explained.
So what the hell was the Darklight Clan!
"Alright, you can go now. Go as far away as possible." she said.
"No, it's not that fast to kill a donkey after it's done grinding.”he said. "I gave you the medicine. You should at least exchange a few pleasantries before chasing me away.”
"I drank the Saint Devil's medicine and my soul is about to come out. A girl's soul can't be casually shown to others.”she said. "This is the ancestral teachings of the Darklight Clan."
Oh, now she knew she was a girl. By the way, what was there to hide from the soul?
"Alright, then I'll leave. I'll turn my back and definitely won't look at your soul, okay?”
Goodwin turned around and walked out of the forest. The Rebel Beast also walked out consciously. They walked side by side.
They had only taken ten steps when they suddenly heard a loud explosion.……What did this girl blow up?
Goodwin couldn't help but turn around.
Nothing exploded, but a huge soul emerged from the top of Clear Sky's head. It had horns on its head and fangs in its mouth. Its face was abnormally ferocious, and it looked like an evil ghost. Moreover, it could be considered a giant among evil ghosts. People with weak hearts would probably die on the spot if they saw this.
As the saying goes, the soul is the window to the soul. A person's soul would look like what their heart was like. Qing Kong had such a soul, which meant that although she looked fierce on the outside, she was actually extremely cruel on the inside.
"Didn't you say that you're not allowed to look at it!!!!”Qing Kong's face turned red as she covered her body shyly. He was not used to seeing her shy expression.
"No, calm down first and listen to my explanation.”He dodged the flying stone she threw at him. "It was a misunderstanding. I heard the explosions and thought that the Imperium had bombed us. I was just worried about your safety! If you don't like it, I can show you my soul. That way, we'll be even, right?”
"…Who wants to see your soul!"
He pulled out his ribbonfish from his head and placed it in front of her.
She hurriedly covered her eyes and peeked through her fingers.
Then, she was stunned. About two seconds later, she burst out laughing.
"How can someone's soul look like this?”
No, I only showed you my soul to make you feel better. Your reaction is really too much.
Qing Kong laughed hysterically, breaking Goodwin's heart. As an apology, she agreed to let Goodwin watch the process of her engraving.
There were already eight or nine imprints on the body of the evil spirit. This number made Goodwin jealous, but he comforted himself," Imprints relied on quality to win. His Death Chasing Imprint alone was enough to beat the other Imprints combined.
The Holy Magic Medicine flowed down from the head of the " evil ghost " and extended to its limbs. The white medicinal liquid that flowed through its skin near its heart suddenly burned. After the thick black smoke dissipated, a charred mark in the shape of a handshake appeared on his skin. The medicinal liquid that flowed to every part of his body flowed towards the mark at the same time, finally filling it up. In the end, the handshake mark emitted a purple glow. The magic learning ritual was completed.
The evil ghost returned to Qing Kong's body. She placed her right fist on her chest. "This is the Seal of Bond.”
"Oh, then what's the use of this seal?”
"It can materialize the bond between me and my compatriots.”she said. "It has many functions, such as-"
"-it lets you talk to your friends anytime, anywhere?”Goodwin interjected.
"Yes."
"As expected." Goodwin played with the black crumbs in his hand. "In this way, all the conditions are complete. We can already start a war that will overturn the empire.”
I was destined to be a traitor to the Empire. Goodwin thought. No wonder the name of the card was "Rebel".
However, even though the conditions were met, more preparations were needed to start a war. At the very least, they had to investigate the situation in Wangxia Town first.
The beast with the head of a snake and the body of a beast was a very good means of transportation. It ran much faster than Goodwin himself. Goodwin estimated that its speed was even faster than that of a civilian flight, and it also saved him the time to wait for a flight. Qing Kong named it " Flying " and it gladly accepted it. Goodwin had thought that the Rebel Beasts were all bad-tempered creatures. After all, they were formed from resentment. However, Speeder was quite obedient. Perhaps its resentment was only directed at the Empire.
With the help of the Speeder, they arrived at King's Town easily and happily. Then, Cheng also sneaked into the town at night. Clear Sky used magic to cover Goodwin's glowing body, and he could finally do his dirty work openly.
They first scouted the armory of King's Town. There were not many guards here, but they were well-equipped and well-trained. Their combat strength could not be underestimated. There would definitely be mages in this kind of army, so it would not be easy to defeat them quickly. The most logical tactic was to launch a surprise attack on them first, killing the mages in the formation while they were unprepared, and then slowly deal with the soldiers without magic abilities.
Of course, the armory was not the focus of their investigation. Their primary target was the government office. The guards in the City Hall and the armory were equally well-equipped, but their numbers were more than five times that of the latter. This was only counting the guards on the ground. The hidden forces in the basement were still unknown. Moreover, Goodwin's Wind-reading Imprint detected an extremely strong magical aura. This aura did not come from the God's Punishment Cannon underground, but from an extremely powerful mage.
"To put it simply, with the strength of two people and one beast, it's impossible for us to take down this place.”Goodwin immediately came to a conclusion. This was obviously a matter of opinion. He began to regret making such a big fuss last time, but he had no choice at that time.
A small number of troops of the 'Original People' were lurking near the Imperium, and some of them were experts of the same level as Qing Kong. But even with them, it was still too difficult to take down Wangxia Town. If they gathered troops from further away, it was very likely that the army of the Imperium would notice something amiss, and the surprise attack would fail.
"The plan still won't work…?”
Although Clear Sky was eager to save her, Goodwin dissuaded her." It was not a good time to act rashly. The two of them returned to their hiding place in the forest dejectedly.
That night, Goodwin had a dream. He dreamt of the red-armored knight who had been killed by him.
The red-armored knight was called Chris. He came from a noble family and had some power. Chris had been eccentric since he was a child, and his methods were fierce. He often had conflicts with people over small matters, and several people had died on his hands. Most of the people who died at his hands were civilians, so he was not punished. Until he killed the only son of a small noble. He could not explain himself, and his father sent him to the army to avoid the limelight.
Chris's violent temper was very compatible with the army. In addition, he was quite talented in martial arts, so he quickly made a name for himself in the army and even got the opportunity to obtain the Saint Magic Medicine. Every year, the Empire's army would distribute a certain amount of Holy Magic Potions to the officers with potential. Firstly, it was to increase the combat power of the army, and secondly, it was to motivate the soldiers to perform well and fight bravely on the battlefield.
The army organized a grand martial arts competition, and those who ranked higher would be able to obtain the Holy Demon Medicine. Chris thought he would win easily, but in the end, he lost to Alexi, his partner and good friend, in the key promotion match and was eliminated. Alexi had overcome many obstacles and finally obtained a drop of the Holy Magic Potion.
Chris could not accept this fact. He pretended to hold a celebratory feast for Alexi, but killed him when he was drunk and stole the Holy Magic Medicine. It was only then that Chris realized that Alexi's Saint Magic Potion was not compatible with his, and he could not use it. However, he found an address on Alexie. It was a place known as the " Anti-Spiral Spinning Tower ". The smart Chris immediately realized that this was the secret place where the Rebel Beast was refined into a Holy Magic Medicine.
He found the " Anti-Spiral Tower " on the address, then lied that he was Alexi and tried to sneak into the tower. At this moment, another " double inverse spiral " ritual had just ended, and a new drop of Holy Magic Medicine was born. The priests who had gone through this ritual were in a state of extreme fatigue, so Chris took the opportunity to kill them all. He was very lucky because the Holy Magic Medicine this time was very compatible with his soul.
He obtained the magic to control fire and used it to fake the scene, creating the illusion that the ritual had failed and the priests and the beast had perished together. After that, he used his father's connections to cover up all the chaos and filth he had caused. Alexi's father did not believe the official investigation report, so he launched an investigation on his own. Chris's father pressured all parties and obstructed the investigation time and time again, but Alexie's father refused to give up. In the end, Chris killed him with his own hands.
The dream ended here. When Goodwin woke up, he felt uncomfortable all over and ran to the bushes to shit.
"What happened to you just now?" The clear sky asked him who had returned from pooping.
"I ate a filthy soul before and just pulled it out.”said Goodwin. "However, that thing did give me some useful information.”
"What information?"
"The address of the Anti-Spiral Tower."
