Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 233 Everyone gets what they need
Based on Miss Justice's description, Klein also basically understood what happened:
Miss Justice had already digested the potion, so she planned to advance to Sequence 6 after returning to Backlund. However, Carula suggested that she could achieve this goal in one step, allowing her to directly become a Sequence 4 demigod.

Justice naturally declined the offer, wanting to advance step by step through his own efforts.

Of course, this may also be due to the fact that Miss Justice does not trust Carla that much.

However, Miss Justice's refusal did not mean that Carla would give up. She seemed to be thinking, "If you don't want it, then I'll give it to you." When Miss Justice was promoted, she forced a Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic on her.

Thus, Miss Justice, who was originally planning to advance to Sequence 6, became a Sequence 5 Dream Walker by accident.

"One word, absolutely!"

Klein was speechless. Overall, this wasn't a bad thing. But this experience was somewhat bizarre, so it was no wonder that Miss Justice didn't want to tell anyone else.

But to be honest, he also wants this opportunity for promotion without any risk!
If he had the same opportunity as Miss Justice, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to find the mermaid.

Miss Justice had already confirmed that her promotion had no side effects, but she was still a little worried. The reason she took the initiative to ask The Fool was actually to find out what Carla's purpose was.

however……

"I won't make it!"

Klein muttered silently in his heart. As far as he understood, there were four copies of the King's Soul in total. The first dead Nito, the Witch of Izalith, and the King of Sunshine Gwyn each held one copy. In addition, there was another copy which was the Dark Soul held by humans.

But according to Miss Justice's account, there are nine king souls in total.

Moreover, each King Soul has the ability to purify the pollution in the Beyonder Characteristics, turning it into the purest power core, so that people can quickly advance without the risk of losing control. No need to digest and act, no need for ritual assistance, as long as there are enough Beyonder Characteristics, you can even become a god in one day!
This was undoubtedly beyond Klein's understanding, but it was not that incredible.

After all, the power of the King's Soul is unimaginable to ordinary people, so it is not surprising that he can do all this.

The only question is, why Jiufen?

"Dividing the King's Soul that was collected with great difficulty into nine parts again is indeed something that Yu Jin can do according to his personality."

"But who has these nine king souls?"

"Carla has already been confirmed to have a king soul. If nothing unexpected happens, Clana must also have one..."

"So, what about the remaining seven?"

"In the world of Soul 3 alone, there are the Fire Keeper, Anri of Astra, Yulia of Londor, the leader of the Dark Moon Knights, Yurshika, Siris of the Kingdom of Dusk, and Irina of Kalim. That's six."

"If we include the DLC, we have to include at least the eldest sister Sister Friede, and even the youngest daughter of the Sun King, Felianore, and her knight Shira. We may also have to include Liliane, the youngest of the three sisters of Londor who only appeared in the CG. This is already seriously exceeding the limit..."

"And if we include Soul 1, then Krana's sisters, White Spider and Red Spider, will definitely not be able to escape. In addition, there is also Saint Leah and multiple Fire Keepers..."

"And Soul 2..."

Klein sighed. There were too many people to count.

But if you have to pick nine from them, it’s hard to say from his perspective.

what?
Why don't you count it as a male NPC? Nonsense, it can't be given to Patchy who hates dogs, right?
"But is Yu Jin's memory loss related to the separated King's Soul?"

Klein thought thoughtfully. In the worldview of Dark Soul, none of the original four king soul holders had a monopoly on the king soul.

The Tomb King Nito controls the death of all living beings, and devotes almost all his power to death. He sleeps with death in the deepest part of the Giant Cemetery where the gods sleep. Before the Sun King Gwyn went out to spread the fire, he distributed most of his power to the gods. Although the old witch did not directly reflect whether she distributed the king's soul in the game, she generally distributed her power to her daughters, so Clana was able to create a complete spell system...

The human ancestor who obtained the Dark Soul did not share the power with others, but directly shattered the Dark Soul, allowing all human descendants to obtain a fragment - that is, humanity. Among them, the one who possessed the most Dark Souls was called the Dwarf King.

What Yu Jin did was not fundamentally different from what they did, except that after he collected all the king souls, he divided these re-gathered king souls into nine parts...

But what’s the point of doing this?

Although the King's Soul itself is extremely powerful, its greatest function is actually to spread fire. But if the goal of the ember is to spread fire, how could it take the initiative to divide the King's Soul? And it was divided into nine parts!

Either Carla was lying, and Yu Jin did not give her the King's Soul on his own initiative; or Yu Jin had no intention of passing on the fire, and his obsession with "passing on the fire" was nothing but an illusion caused by memory loss!
Klein naturally prefers the latter, but he cannot rule out the possibility of the former.

But even if it is the latter, what is the purpose of dividing it into nine parts?

Theoretically, the four king souls at the beginning were all the "power crystallization" of the First Fire, and each of them represented a certain characteristic of the First Fire:
One day, the First Fire was ignited. As the fire rose, the world began to look different.

Heat and cold, life and death, light and dark.

The original four kings' souls are all closely related to this sentence.

For example, the 'Soul of Death' possessed by Nito corresponds to 'death' and 'cold'.

So he became the first dead, with power so strong that even immortal ancient dragons could fall.

The 'Soul of Chaos' held by the old witch corresponds to 'life' and 'heat'.

The 'Soul of Light' of Gwyn, the Sun King, and the 'Soul of Darkness' of mankind correspond to the 'light' and 'darkness' of the First Flame respectively.

In other words, theoretically, the King's Soul can be divided into six types of characteristics at most:

Life, death, cold, heat, light, dark.

So, why did Embers divide it into nine parts?

Klein resisted the urge to raise his hand to rub his temple, his brows furrowed.

His knowledge of the First Flame was limited to the game, and the real world of Dark Souls was definitely more complicated. The information he knew was not enough to analyze the truth of the whole incident.

He didn't know why Yu Jin divided the First Fire into nine parts, and to which nine people he gave it.

And do these nine parts of the "King's Soul" correspond to certain characteristics of the King's Soul...

"and many more!"

Klein was suddenly shocked, because he suddenly discovered that the behavior of Embers dividing the king's soul seemed to be very similar to the creation legend of this world!

Dark Soul: Fire is the source of everything.

Creation legend: The Creator is the source of everything.

Dark Soul: In ancient times, the world was not yet differentiated and was shrouded in fog. Everywhere were gray rocks, towering trees and immortal dragons. Then, one day, the initial fire was ignited. Creation Legend: The Creator woke up from chaos, broke the darkness, and created the first ray of light.

Dark Soul: With the rise of fire, the world began to differ, and the first fire also differentiated into the king's soul that contained the power of its rules.

Creation legend: The Creator completely integrated into the universe, transformed into all things, and evolved into twenty-two paths.

Black Soul: Those who possess the King Soul possess great power and can even be called gods.

Legend has it that the twenty-two path sequence 0 possesses great power and is called a true god.

"Does this count as proving Cheng Kun?"

Klein's eyes twitched, and he complained in his heart.

After hesitating for a while, he buried this guess in his heart. The main reason was that he himself felt that it was a little unreliable, and it would be inappropriate to speak it out. If he was not careful, it would make The Fool fall from the altar, so as long as he knew it himself, there was no need to tell everyone.

As for Miss Justice's experience, he could neither give any advice nor guess Carla's purpose.

Of course, if Carla's King Soul was really given by Yu Jin, and Carla's purpose was really to see Yu Jin, then she would definitely not harm Miss Justice, and this has been confirmed.

As for the way to confirm it, it was naturally through divination above the gray fog. According to the results of his divination, Carula would not harm Miss Justice, and Klein had no doubt about it.

After all, his divinations above the gray fog had been almost always successful, even true gods were within the scope of divination. Except for a few times when divination failed, as long as the divination was successful, the divination results had never been wrong.

But even so, Klein didn't know how to explain it.

You can't tell Miss Justice everything about the divination, right?

Klein's thoughts gradually returned to normal. He thought for a long time, put on an unfathomable look, and smiled:

"Don't worry, this isn't necessarily a bad thing."

At least the divination results show that this is not a bad thing. Since it is not a bad thing, it doesn’t matter.

"Is that so?" Audrey nodded slightly with twinkling eyes and said softly:

"I understand, Mr. Fool. Thank you for your advice. Don't worry, I know what to do."

"You know what to do once you understand it?"

Klein looked at the other person's seemingly enlightened expression, and his eyes twitched slightly.

But the atmosphere had already been set to this point, and he couldn't disturb it any further.

Of course, the most important thing is that if we continue talking, it is very likely that we will not be able to make it right...

Klein immediately removed the shielding of other people's perceptions and manipulated the 'world' to speak hoarsely:

"Ms. Magician, I would like to know if you have been promoted to Sequence 6 Records Officer?"

"Yes."

Magician Fors hesitated for two seconds, but finally nodded in acknowledgement.

Fors originally wanted to conceal this, after all, her promotion was indeed a bit strange. Because two months ago, she was only a Sequence 8 Magic Master. Although she successfully got promoted to Sequence 7 Astrologer before the New Year, it was only a month ago. In other words, she only took a month to digest the potion!
You know, at the moment when the potion was completely digested, even she herself felt it was a little unbelievable.

Although she had been working hard to perform under the pressure of Xiu and digest the potion step by step, a month was too short. This was something she had not been able to do at Sequence 9!

After thinking about it, Fors seemed to have discovered the reason why he was promoted so quickly.

From promotion to acting, everything went according to plan, without any unusual features. The only variable was the extraordinary characteristic of the astrologer she used, which was restored from a magical item to an extraordinary characteristic by Yu Jin using the "regressive principle" when she was in Conant City in Dixie County.

This was the only special feature that Fors could find. The Beyonder characteristic that had been restored through the 'Regression Principle' seemed to have undergone some changes and had obviously become easier to digest, even easier than the Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 9.

Of course, this is just speculation and has not been confirmed.

And the way to verify it is also very simple, that is to try again!
The Beyonder characteristic that Fors used to advance to Sequence 6 was also one of the Beyonder characteristics that was restored by the embers that time. If it can still be digested at a very fast speed this time, it means that her guess is correct.

But even if that was true, she didn't intend to reveal it.

The only people who knew about this were Xio, who lived with her day and night, and Yujin, who had already 'disappeared'. Other than that, no one else knew her exact sequence before, and therefore had no way of judging how long it took her to be promoted.

Of course, this certainly could not be hidden from Mr. Fool’s eyes, but Mr. Fool also had no reason to tell anyone else about this.

And now, combined with Miss Justice suddenly becoming a Sequence 5, Fors became more certain of his guess.

The promotion of 'Justice' is also related to Embers.

Of course, this still needs to be confirmed.

The method of confirmation is also very simple, you just need to visit Miss Justice and ask her in person.

After receiving Fors's personal admission, Klein secretly said, "As expected." He once again controlled the World and said in a deep voice:

"If possible, I would like to borrow that magic book from you for a while."

"Magic book?" The Hermit's eyes moved slightly.

"borrow?"

Magician Fors thought about it for two seconds and was not too surprised by the suggestion.

She knew that the magic book mentioned by Mr. World was actually the Travel Notes of Lemano. She had never mentioned this note to outsiders, but Mr. Fool would definitely be familiar with it. As Mr. Fool's follower, it was not surprising that Mr. World knew about it.

As for her, as an extraordinary person who often stays at home to write and rest, lending Lemanno's travel notes for a period of time will not affect her own safety and use.

Moreover, the ability of 'Lemano's Travel Notes' overlaps with that of Sequence 6 'Recorder'. For Fors, who has been promoted to Sequence 6, Lemano's Travel Notes is actually no longer that important.

So, even if I lend it out, it doesn’t seem like a big deal…

Fors suddenly felt a little moved and asked:
"Okay, Mr. World, when do you need it?"
