Chapter 254: 252. The Power of Soul Returning

"It seems that if we want to know the truth, we have to go to the Holy City." Su Hong said.

The geographical location and nature of the Fire Shelter determine that it is isolated from the outside world. It is normal that he cannot get the latest news in the Fire Shelter.

Correspondingly, the safety and concealment of the Fire Shelter will be greatly improved, which is why the cult cannot find the Fire Shelter.

All in all, there are pros and cons. For him, the Spark Sanctuary is more like a safe haven for a short rest and escape from danger. If he really wants to explore the truth of the world, he will have to face the cult in the end.

Su Hong walked in the corridor and the projection moved with him. He took some time to review all the events that had happened in the past ten years, and gained a better understanding of the Uncrowned Knight.

"Helena..." Su Hong was about to speak when suddenly a loud bang was heard from the front of the corridor, and the ground shook slightly.

"Explosion? Did someone invade the shelter?"

Su Hong's eyes focused, he took a step forward, his body turned into a black shadow and disappeared on the spot.

In the dormant area, Su Hong's figure suddenly appeared. He saw that the doors of the rooms on the right side of the main hall were blown down, and thick smoke billowed, triggering the smoke alarm.

Before he could move, a figure stumbled out from inside.

"Cough cough cough..." The woman coughed and ran out of the accident room. She twisted her ankle and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!" She made solid contact with the ground.

Su Hong originally wanted to condense the shadow sword, but after seeing the woman's appearance clearly, his expression suddenly became speechless.

The woman had short black hair and her robe was burned into tatters by the explosion. The sprinkler also wet her hair and clothes, making her look quite disheveled.

She was not an invading enemy, and of course, there shouldn't be such a stupid enemy.

She was the old friend Helena mentioned - Jiang Nuannuan.

Su Hong asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Nuannuan groped the ground and picked up her heavy black-framed glasses. She looked up and saw Su Hong's appearance clearly, then quickly stood up from the floor.

"Senior, long time no see."

The woman said awkwardly, "I was just doing alchemy... but because I just woke up from hibernation, I didn't have much strength, and my hands were shaking, and I accidentally blew up the alchemy item."

Su Hong sighed and shook his head, "It's been so many years. You're still so reckless."

He walked towards the smoking room. "I heard from Helena that you have become the deputy director of the Alchemy Institute?"

Jiang Nuannuan murmured, "It's just a name... I don't actually have to do anything."

Su Hong waved his hand and summoned a cold wind to drive away all the smoke.

Looking at the messy laboratory and the wet ground, he had another thought, and the water vapor automatically condensed into ice and accumulated into ice cubes, and the ground became dry in an instant.

"Oleg, please move the ice out."

Oleg, who had just arrived at the laboratory, nodded, picked up the ice and walked outside.

"Huh? It actually worked." Jiang Nuannuan's puzzled voice sounded. She walked past Su Hong, came to the laboratory table full of debris, and picked up a purple stone.

"What is this?" Su Hong asked while standing aside.

Jiang Nuannuan pushed her glasses and said happily, "The Soul-Returning Stone is a powerful alchemical item made from a large amount of expensive and rare alchemical materials. It can help the user recover a large amount of soul power."

Su Hong raised his eyebrows, "Recover a large amount of soul power?"

This Soul-Returning Stone is indeed interesting. If it can restore 30% of his soul power, it will be quite useful. "Yes." Jiang Nuannuan nodded, "I heard from Helena that you are going to the Holy City. Although this Soul-Returning Stone may not be that important to you, it is a small gift from me. I hope you can accept it as a token of my gratitude for your kindness in the past."

Su Hong took the purple stone and the game immediately popped up a prompt.

“Soul Restoring Stone (Rare+): A one-time alchemical item created by Alchemist Master Jiang Nuannuan. After crushing it, it can restore a large amount of soul power.”

"Shelf life: 30 days."

Rare + quality?

Su Hong was stunned. He found that Jiang Nuannuan seemed to be too modest. It was the first time he saw an alchemical item of rare + quality. Maybe it could really play a big role.

But this thing actually has a shelf life. No wonder Jiang Nuannuan had to wake up and make it for him personally.

If he had prepared in advance, the Soul-Returning Stone might have turned into an ordinary stone by the time he arrived at the shelter.

Su Hong put away the Soul-Returning Stone and asked, "Helena and I are about to leave the shelter. Do you want to continue to hibernate or go to the Holy City with us?"

When the Holy City was mentioned, Jiang Nuannuan immediately shook her head. She clasped her hands together and cautiously asked, "Senior, I don't think I'll need it... The Holy City is so dangerous..."

"Okay, I know you are afraid of death." Su Hong shook his head helplessly. He had just checked and found that Jiang Nuannuan's current level was only the third level of the Undead Stage. She would not be able to help much in the Holy City. At most, she would be a cannon fodder. There was no point in letting her go with him.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You should be able to return to the hibernation pod by yourself."

Jiang Nuannuan hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand and said, "Wait a moment, Senior. I won't go into hibernation yet."

"Helena should be able to help you get in touch with the shelter. If you need any help, just let me know. I'll do my best."

"I hope you can bring Miss Anna back. It's too dangerous there."

"Well, show me the formula for the Soul-Returning Stone, and then go and have a rest."

After getting the formula, Su Hong said goodbye to Jiang Nuannuan, who looked uneasy, and walked towards the core database under Helena's guidance.

Helena said: "Fear and timidity are normal human emotions. Manager, you don't have to mind it."

Su Hong raised his eyes and looked at the camera, "Are you worried that I will blame her?"

"She wanted to go with me, but I wouldn't let her go. I couldn't bear to let an alchemist go to die."

"Helena, you seem to be a little doubtful of my vision."

Helena: "Helena is just a robot and cannot make subjective judgments."

"But the administrator is willing to hand over the Holy Soul Ring to Helena. Based on the data, I can infer that you are not a stingy person."

"I see you are just worried about her." Su Hong took out a wooden sign with a rat head from his body.

"If I can't protect one of my support personnel and still want to save the world, that's bullshit."

He chatted with Helena, staring at the rat head sign.

"Found a 'disaster item' rat head wooden plaque, do you want to refine it?"

By refining the rat-head wooden token in his hand, his inherited talent should be able to be upgraded.

This rat head wooden plaque is a replica in the simulation. After it is consumed, the number of real rat head wooden plaques will not change, so you can refine it with confidence.

Su Hong muttered to himself, and the wooden rat head plaque melted into blood and merged into his body.
