Ember Skywalker

Chapter 272 Who is the Mother?
"Lancet, I am your mother.

Your soul is a gift from me, and it is just housed in this body."

The woman's eyes turned completely gray, and she continued:

"My child, now that your soul has reached adulthood, it is time to wake up.

Forget Telana, from now on, I am your real mother."

The green light finally dissipated and Lanster regained consciousness.

As the woman looked on eagerly, a sword was placed on her neck.

"Are you Shabi? Tell me, what did you do to me?" Lanster asked coldly.

The woman was stunned.

"Impossible! How could the soul summoning fail!" she screamed, her eyes full of fear.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Your soul is not my son's! Who are you?
Where is my son's soul?"

The woman asked sternly, her grey eyes looking extremely frightening.

"Your son's soul?"

Lanster became serious. The woman's words revealed too much information.

"Still want to hide?! You killed my son and took over his body by some unknown means.

Now you are a completely different soul!"

The woman moved her hand, and the gem lit up again, with bursts of green light passing over Lanster.

However, this time he was well prepared and was not unaffected.

A deep bloody mark appeared on the woman's neck, where Lanster's sword had sunk into her skin.

"Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"

"It's really disappeared, my child, give me back my child! Ah!" the woman screamed heartbreakingly.

"Lanster, what are you doing! Put down your sword!" At this moment, the Duchess suddenly arrived.

She looked at the wound on the woman's neck and her distraught look, and suddenly exclaimed:
"Lanster, what did you do? She is your aunt."

"Aunt? Humph, ask her what she did to me." Lanster put away his sword and said coldly.

"Ulrika, what happened, how could he hurt you?"

The gray in Ulrika's eyes faded, and she murmured in despair:

"My child is gone, my soul...is gone..."

"What nonsense are you talking about, isn't Lanster here?"

Ulrika turned her head sharply and almost roared at the Duchess: "You know shit!"

She immediately pointed at Lanster and gritted her teeth and said:

"Just wait for me, I will definitely come to see you again!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Looking at Ulrika's receding back, the Duchess had a cold expression.

Originally, she and the Second Duke's Wife still maintained a superficial harmony.

From now on, even this harmony is gone.

"Lancet, what happened just now?"

Lanster thought about it and told everything.

He trusted the Duchess much more than he trusted Ulrika.

"I understand, you should have a good rest, let's call it a day today.

She is your father's second wife, and she comes from the Gray Family, so she behaves a little strangely. You should stay away from her."

The Duchess's expression changed several times, and finally she comforted him lightly.

Lanster nodded slightly.

Returning to the room, the Duchess suddenly turned pale.

Lanster's words frightened her greatly.

Considering Ulrika’s reaction, something must have happened to her son and she was kept in the dark.

"Hamo, immediately look up what soul summoning is. Also, ask Bishop Rega to come to the mansion. I have something important to ask you."

Telanna instructed the old man in red armor.

Raven's room.

"You mean, the Second Duke's wife is a member of the Gray Family and has performed a soul summoning on you?" Raven's face became serious.

He is no stranger to spiritual fuel.

Because Faye was a master in this area, he learned a lot.

The soul burning technique is the most mysterious and difficult, often invisible and traceless yet extremely terrifying. Soul burning practitioners are also the most dangerous among all the soul burning techniques.

However, due to talent limitations, there are not many Soul Burning Mage in the entire Qinglan sequence.

Among them, the most famous is the Gray Family.

It can even be said that the Gray Family is the representative of the Soul Burners.

"Yes." "Soul calling is not a negative force, its function is to awaken lost souls.

But the question is, why would she do it to you?

Is it because you have lost your memory?"

"My intuition tells me that it is not."

Lanster shook his head.

"She wanted to wake up 'her' child, but she found that the child's soul disappeared."

"I'm confused by you."

Angie rubbed her head.

"She is the Duke's second wife, and she watched you grow up. You are her child."

"No, there may be something hidden behind this."

But Raven shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"We may be caught in a vortex. Especially when the Gray Family is involved, it will be even more troublesome."

"Brother Raven, is the Gray Family very powerful?" Angel asked.

“That’s a terrible family.”

Raven's face was grim.

"You know the Gray Region, right? The Gray Family is the king of the Gray Region, and all forces in the Gray Region must obey the Gray Family's orders."

An Qi covered her mouth, revealing an expression of disbelief: "Aren't they just like the original emperor?"

"You can say that. But the Gray Region is a loose alliance and cannot be compared with the four original countries."

"Raven, let's leave here tomorrow. I don't want you to be involved." Lanster said decisively.

Raven did not answer, but asked in return:

"How do you feel about the Duchess? I want to know how you really feel, brother."

Lanster was silent for a while.

"I felt very close to her. It was a very strange feeling."

"That's it. Maybe you really have a close connection with her. I don't want you to miss the opportunity to solve this mystery."

"This could put you in danger."

"Bullshit, you are my brother, I hope you can recover your memory."

"Yeah, you're my brother too." An Qi stuck out her tongue.

"Okay, thank you then."

This was a messy laboratory with all kinds of materials scattered around and dozens of beasts of all sizes roaring irritably.

A Ranfa dressed in a black robe was busy.

He swung his staff and thrust it into the forehead of a wolf. Amid its screams, a gray mist was drawn out.

This is the soul of the wolf.

A black light flashed on Ranfa's hand, guiding the soul into a crystal ball.

As the crystal ball lit up, Ranfa breathed a sigh of relief.

clap clap clap!
There was a round of applause.

"Brother, your soul power has improved again." It was Ulrika who spoke.

"Why are you here?" asked the black-robed Ranfa.

"Why, I'm not welcome?"

"No, it's just that you've only been here once in eight years, and I found it surprising."

"Accident?"

Ulrika raised her head and said coldly.

"You have been guarding here for eighteen years, isn't it just because you want me to come and see you more often?

Now that I'm here, you have this attitude. "

"You are wrong. I am here because I promised to protect you forever, but I don't expect you to come often."

The male Ranfa was silent for a moment, then said sadly:

"After all, you are a duchess now."

"Oh? So, I am no longer attractive in your eyes?"

"No, there will always be!" Ranfa breathed heavily.

"So is the promise you made to me still valid?"

“It always works.”

"Then I want you to pull out a person's soul. I want to torture him thoroughly."

"who is it?"

"Lanster."
