Chapter 861 The Resting Place of Souls
Leviathan continent.
This continent still has various nations and forces that have joined the Night's Watch in reclaiming lost territories.
But in essence, it has become the Night's Watch's territory from the outside world's perspective.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with saying that.
After all, this is the headquarters of the Covenant. At present, the Covenant's members are spread all over the world, but no other place is like this continent, where all forces have joined.
Because the alliance was essentially established to unite the forces on this continent that still had the ability to resist in order to deal with the rat plague.
And this most influential and famous building on the continent is undoubtedly the world's largest and tallest building, a colossal black tower that may not be surpassed for thousands of years to come.
Tower of Trials.
Surrounding the Tower of Trials are four cities planned and built by the Night's Watch, oriented in the cardinal directions.
It wasn't until later, with further development, that the four cities were completely connected, becoming a true city encircling the tower.
Of course, even now, although the four cities are developing in their own ways, they have not yet reached this point.
The most exaggerated development is naturally in the largest city, the South City. According to some people who have been there, this city has become the largest city in the world, and it is still expanding outwards every day.
Compared to this city, other cities are developing at a relatively slower pace.
Of these four cities, apart from the main southern city, the most famous city is actually the corresponding northern city.
This city is famous.
Naturally, it was because the Night's Watch had organized a major event at the beginning of the city's founding, which attracted countless people to witness, thus naturally spreading its fame.
After all, resurrection is right here.
With the success of the event, the city became famous throughout the world, especially among those with a keen eye or powerful figures.
Some people call this city.
The city where souls echo.
From the air, the northern city resembles a silver-gray gear embedded in the shadow of the Tower of Despair.
Twelve main paths, etched with soul runes, radiate from the obelisk, yet meander gently as they converge toward the central [Torch of Light].
The building's sharp edges are softened by creeping fluorescent moss, and the cascading filaments on the terrace scatter spores like fine snow in the night breeze.
This is the Soul-Soothing Fern, personally nurtured by Liswal, the Dragon of Life and Death.
As you can tell from the name of this plant, it is a magical plant and strongly associated with the soul. This plant is found all over the city and has almost become one with it.
Its essence can soothe the wrinkles of the soul.
Simply put, it has a calming effect, and on top of the basic magic circle, the effect is amplified and strengthened, and concentrated throughout the entire city.
For some of the Night Watchers, this place is also known as the city of healing souls.
The streets are not bustling with shops, though there are some, but not many, and the commercial atmosphere here is not strong.
In place of the shops are rows of "Heart Cocoon Therapy Centers".
Inside these buildings adorned with frosted glass lanterns, the resurrected watchmen lie quietly in silken hammocks studded with soul crystals, listening to the "Overture to the Homecoming" resonating from the crystal bowls.
Songs that resonate with the soul are inaudible to normal people. However, if you have a sensitive soul or are experiencing astral projection, you can hear these soothing songs.
In a way, it's a good thing that we can't hear this beautiful singing.
The "Spirit Master," dressed in a gray-blue robe, is a profession derived from the "Soul Guide."
Her fingertips danced with the [Soul Weaving Technique] personally taught by Liswal, and silver threads of light entered the brows of the resurrected, mending the tiny cracks left by death.
These are wounds on the soul, and they exist not only in the dead but also in the living.
Those whose spirits are traumatized, those whose souls are attacked, will also have wounds on their souls to some extent.
However, since they are alive, these wounds will be healed again during their recovery.
For those who understand the soul, its resilience is far greater than that of the body.
After all, when a normal person is injured, their body will leave scars, but when the soul is injured, especially minor injuries, it won't leave any scars.
"I dreamt of it again, on the battlefield, with a purple knife tearing my throat open. It was painful, mentally agonizing, and I felt like my brain was going to split open."
The newly resurrected shield warrior gripped his teacup tightly amidst the scent of lavender, his knuckles turning white.
"But the incense here is more real than prayer in the holy light."
Opposite him, the Soul Guide apprentice was drawing his nightmares into abstract symbols and throwing them into the [Emotional Furnace] in the center of the healing hall—that obsidian fire pit carved with dragons of life and death would temper pain into harmless wisps of light.
It's a very strange technique. This thing is a new invention that just came out this year. It's said to have been created by an alchemist who returned from further studies.
Now, there are some powerful, mad alchemists among the Night's Watch.
They not only learn basic alchemy, but also come here to learn skills and knowledge about the soul, and to learn about demonic knowledge in the abyss, and to learn about knowledge from all over the astral plane.
Some cutting-edge alchemical technologies and some special alchemical works were created by them.
Especially some strange products from the last year or two.
Of course, alchemists are not alchemists from the beginning. For example, the person who made this furnace was originally a soul guide and then became an alchemist.
The harmless wisps of light emitted from the burning flames were inhaled by the resurrected Night's Watchman, soothing his soul, clearing away negative emotions, and mending the wounds in his dream.
Simply put, it's about getting used to and accepting the darkness and pain of the moment of death in a dream.
Resurrecting someone is not an easy task, and there are many aftereffects that need to be addressed.
These aftereffects have all been resolved one by one over the years by the Dragon of Life and Death and the Soul Guide.
In addition to these buildings, the city also contains sanctuaries for necromancy.
Inside the pure white spire next to the healing center, a "corpse reconstructionist" dressed in a black robe with silver trim is at work.
They were necromancers in the Mage Council, and they were not well-liked.
The Night Watch accepted some of the necromancers whose ideas were not extreme or fanatical.
Now, they use alchemical tweezers to pick up the star silver threads and sew them together like embroidery on the mutilated corpse.
"The wound on the left arm is corroded by chaos, and a soul imprint needs to be done first." Chief Restorer Elena gently tapped the corpse's chest cavity, guiding the soul energy overflowing from the Torch of Light into the crystal skull mold—on her workbench, the severed limbs were slowly growing like plants in the [Flesh Reconstruction Fluid].
Within the vast department of the Alchemy Laboratory, the number of Pharmacists and related laboratories is the largest.
After all, the Night's Watch is most famous for its logistical supplies, which consist of all sorts of powerful and large quantities of potions.
"We don't resurrect, we just repair the container."
She showed her new apprentices nerve conduits woven from threads of the blood and flesh of the dead.
"Only when the body's integrity exceeds 92% will the soul not experience disorientation or dizziness upon returning."
Outside the window, a team is escorting a corpse covered in white silk toward the base of the Torch of Light, with half of a reconstructed mechanical prosthetic limb visible beneath the silk.
Night Watchmen who were already physically disabled while still alive are the more troublesome type.
Because they might already be physically disabled when they become Night's Watch members, which makes things even more complicated.
However, the convoy that escorts the remains of heroes every day is also a unique sight in this city.
Without a doubt, this is a city of souls where life and death intersect.
The power of the soul is everywhere in this city; the dead and the living, as well as those who live towards death, all exist here.
Surprisingly, in this place, the Chapel of Holy Light stands at the edge of the Torch of Light Plaza. That sacred and gentle power of light also exists in this city, and it is present over a large area.
But there was no choir here, only ascetics dressed in plain linen kneeling before the rubbings of the dragon scales of life and death, meditating.
The saintess of the church, the Holy Soul Saintess, had a golden ball of light floating in her palm, within which were wrapped gray-white threads—this was the [Twilight Stitching] technique she had comprehended under the guidance of Liswal.
She is a level 12 legend, but only forty years old.
She was both a night watchman and a saint of the Church of Holy Light.
Because she joined the Night's Watch a few years ago at level eight, and then rose to level ten within a year.
After witnessing that ceremony, he came to study under the Dragon of Life and Death.
He advanced to Legendary rank in just one year, and has now reached level twelve.
The understanding of the rules of the soul seems to be innate.
"Holy light heals the body, and death teaches us to revere the cycle of life."
Her mentor, former Bishop Albert, is using data crystals to record the energy fluctuations of the torch.
His holy book's blank pages were filled with calculations, one of which was deliberately folded, vaguely revealing the words "Resurrection Spell - Spirit and Flesh in Harmony".
"Fifteen experiments, the only successful case was a soul guide with a broken heart..." he muttered to himself, the healing light that slipped from his sleeve now bearing the color of pearl gray.
This is also a legend.
Moreover, he is one of the archbishops of the Church of Holy Light.
After witnessing the ceremony, he stayed in the city and later built the Church of Holy Light.
He was also a legendary powerhouse, and his level had reached thirteen. However, he was already a legendary powerhouse before becoming a member of the Night's Watch.
He, along with his former apprentice, the Dragon of Life and Death, and numerous Soul Guides, exchanged and learned here.
There is only one purpose.
Resurrection Spell
A powerful spell that requires at least a legendary level of power to use, based on the power of holy light and constructed from the laws of the Dragon of Life and Death.
The resurrection ceremony was performed on the spot.
Moreover, this spell has been remarkably effective, as it has already succeeded.
It just needs further improvement.
In some ways, this city has gathered the largest number of powerful individuals among the four cities.
Let our gaze fall upon the torch of light in the heart of the city.
Another colossal wonder built by the Night's Watch.
The burning flames of the soul above eternally illuminate the entire city.
Entering the space between life and death from the fire.
The Liswal dragon's body is coiled around a totem.
Sensing Kana's approach, she instantly transformed into a mature, white-haired woman, her long black dress outlining her breathtaking waist and hip curves as she pressed herself against Kana.
"Can you feel the city breathing? The greenhouse of the soul you created."
She pointed towards the city, her peach-shaped buttocks resting lightly on Kana's arm.
"Those children invented the 'Soul-Soothing Incense' made from the powder I ground after shedding my scales. Even Anriville stole the recipe to heal her soul wounds."
Behind the distant pillars, the blue-haired sea dragon girl snorted coldly, but a crystal rose sculpted from her fingertips by a stream of healing light condensed.
As a sky dragon, she has stayed here since this place existed.
Although several years have passed, for the dragons, it seems that it was just a visit to chat with their best friends for a while.
The Sky Dragon, skilled in clouds and wind, is also a member of the life force, not just someone who simply flies.
The rules of the sky have a cool and gentle meaning, which also means that the sky dragon has the ability to heal itself.
This is why Henriville, the Sky Dragon, and Liswal, the Life Dragon, were once close sisters.
Because both are symbols of healing.
However, the Dragon of Life has now fallen into the Dragon of the Dead, and with the help of Kana, it has become an even more advanced Dragon of Life and Death.
It possesses a soul healing ability that even the Sky Dragon cannot match.
Kana's silver boots trod across the ground covered with star-like spores, which bloomed into fleeting epiphyllum flowers upon touching divinity.
The entire city whispered in silence, as if the river of life and death had formed a gentle whirlpool here.
"You did a great job, you could say you exceeded my expectations perfectly."
The search for the Undead Dragon was originally just an accident, but it was precisely because of this accident that things went wrong and ended up like this.
Using the transformation of the undead dragon into the dragon of life and death as a medium, Liswald became the ferryman who controlled the souls of the Night's Watch who returned from death.
To be honest, it takes a lot of courage to entrust such an important responsibility to a dragon.
However, that's not the case for Canna.
After all, he possessed the foresight he had in the game, and although he didn't use it much, the information it provided was extremely important.
And Liswald truly did just that, consistently doing what she was supposed to do.
Not to mention, she once used the Creation Stone, and later even used the entire Creation Stone to make a wish for power.
Although it was Kana who granted the power, a portion of the power she received also transferred to her; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to fulfill her duties.
It can be said that she is bound to the entire world and the Night's Watch.
If interests are completely aligned, then they are naturally trustworthy.
It's fair to say that even if a war breaks out with the dragons, she will stand firmly on the Night's Watch's side.
As for her enthusiasm, Cana could only say he was somewhat helpless.
He keeps saying he wants to have eggs with you, who can stand that?
"I've done so much for you, shouldn't you give me some reward?"
His entire body pressed against Kana's.
Others might feel awe because of Kanah's godhood, but she won't.
When has the Astral Dragon ever feared a god? Moreover, she is now a level 15 being, in charge of the life, death, and souls of the Night Watch. Becoming a god is a foregone conclusion.
Again.
"So when will it lay eggs?"
"We'll talk about it when Areris gives birth to my child of God."
Kana gave a casual, perfunctory reply.
"Then it's settled."
It's only a few hundred or a thousand years, it's not like we can't wait that long.
Dragons and humans have different concepts of time, even though humans have now become gods.
"Alright, enough of this nonsense, let's get down to business." (End of Chapter)
