What Roy did not know was that before he found this four-winged angel commander, Vulgrim had been waiting by the side for a long time!
He was waiting for this angel commander to die …
It could not be helped. Although Vulgrim was a high-rank demon, he did not seem to like fighting. Or rather, he was simply too good at fighting. When he noticed that there was a heavily injured angel commander here, he did not immediately rush forward to end the other party's life and take away his soul. Instead, he chose the safest method and waited for the other party to die.
Moreover, he was waiting from afar. It could be said that he was extremely timid and cautious …
However, what Vulgrim did not expect was that Roy would swim over at this time and immediately discover the angel commander buried in the ruins and dig it out.
Vulgrim felt as though the duck that was about to fall into his mouth had flown away. But he absolutely would not stand up and compete with Roy for the ownership of this angel commander's soul!
So after thinking about it, he still did what he was good at and appeared behind Roy, intending to trade with him.
Hearing what he said, Roy immediately understood, so he crushed the neck of the angel commander in his hand. Then he held the golden soul floating out of the angel commander's body in his hand and stretched it out in front of Vulgrim. "Is this what you want to trade with me?"
"Aha! The holy soul of a four-winged dominion angel! " Vulgrim looked at this soul greedily and stretched out his claws to take it. But Roy suddenly retracted his hand and let Vulgrim grab empty air!
This golden angel soul was a 'medium-sized holy soul' in the system's display! It was different from the souls of low-level angel soldiers, so Roy realized that this soul might be relatively precious. How could he let Vulgrim obtain it so easily?
Seeing Roy's teasing gaze, Vulgrim reacted. He pretended to cough to cover up his embarrassment and then pointed at the angel commander's corpse. "And the angel core. I want the angel core too!"
Roy looked at him and did not say anything. He stretched out his hand, and his sharp claws broke open the angel commander's lower abdomen. He took out a small, crystal-like object from his abdomen. There were many dense angel characters on its surface.
This was an angel core. From Araniya's inherited memories, Roy knew that some angels had such things. But even in the inherited memories, there was no mention of what this angel core did. Therefore, when Roy killed the angel soldiers earlier, he only took their souls but did not touch the angel cores in their corpses.
"Do you know the function of this thing?" Roy asked Vulgrim.
"Of course!" Vulgrim rubbed his hands and said, "I'm a rift demon. Thanks to my spatial ability, I know a lot of secrets!"
"Then explain it to me!" Roy tossed the angel core in his hand.
"You may not know … Some angels are artificially created!" Vulgrim's eyes rose and fell as he tossed the angel core, but he continued to explain, "Although angels are stronger individually than demons, their fertility rate is correspondingly very low! There are very few original angels that can truly be born from angel eggs. Therefore, in addition to forging weapons and armor, the Heaven Foundry has been working on researching artificial angels so that we can make up for our numerical disadvantage in the war against demons! "
"Oh?!" Roy was stunned. He looked at the angel core in his hand. "So, those with angel cores are all artificial angels?"
"That's right!" Vulgrim nodded. "They first cultivate angel embryos and then implant them into angel cores to carry souls. Then they transform the noble souls they collect into holy souls under the effect of holy power and place them into angel cores. An artificial angel with its own strength and memories is born. This is a method of mass-producing angels! If it weren't for the limited number of noble souls and the inability to create too many artificial angels, the situation between demons and angels might have been reversed in the war … "Roy was a little stunned.
Roy was a little stunned. No wonder he felt that the equipment on the angels' side looked much better. It turned out that Heaven was also developing scientific research. Not only that, but they even had artificial angels …
However, this kind of technology should be more inclined towards mysticism, right? After all, this angel core looks more like some kind of alchemy item …
"What's the use of this angel core? Is it used to create fallen angels? "Roy asked.
"No, no. Artificial angels can't become fallen angels!" Vulgrim shook his head. "Only original angels, that is, angels born naturally, can be transformed into fallen angels! Souls contain the driving force of all things. Just having a body without a soul is just a puppet. Only with a body and a soul can one form consciousness and will and become a true life. So in fact, this angel core is just a container used to store and restrain souls. After losing the soul, this container is useless. Its only remaining value is to be used for research … Hmm, perhaps it can also be used as a good alchemy material! "
Roy thought about it carefully and felt that Vulgrim might not be lying, but he should be hiding some things, such as the preciousness of this angel core …
Thus, Roy grinned and laughed at Greenwall. "Is that so? Since it's useless, I'll keep it for myself! It should be good to make accessories or something, right? "
"Uh …" Vulgrim was embarrassed when he heard Roy's words. He did not expect that his efforts to belittle this angel core would make Roy choke on his words.
That's right. The angel core was actually not very useful, but that referred to the cores of low-level artificial angel soldiers. And the angel core that Roy obtained now was obtained from a four-winged dominion angel. It was not easy for artificial angels to promote to the four-winged level. This meant that this four-winged angel might be one of the earlier batch of artificial angels that had survived for a long time. His soul had not been expelled back to Heaven because of his death, thus causing him to change bodies.
This way, the research value of this angel core naturally increased greatly, and it was far from what ordinary angel cores could compare to …
"Okay!" Vulgrim found that he had fallen into a trap, so he could only spread his hands. "I admit that this angel core is very precious, so what price do I have to pay to obtain it?"
"What do you have?" Roy asked expectantly.
He knew very well that this demon profiteer in front of him had many good things in his hands. With his spatial ability to travel freely, he could reach places that many demons could not reach and collect some relatively special things. Moreover, this guy had no standpoint. He could trade with anyone, even the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and angels.
Roy had not thought that he would encounter this guy before, but since he had encountered him, he could not let him go. Even without the soul and angel core of this four-winged angel commander, he planned to trade with Vulgrim. After all, Vulgrim still accepted souls as currency. In the past, he might have hoarded a large number of souls …
However, Vulgrim did not propose to use souls to trade with Roy at the beginning. Instead, he waved his hands gently and displayed an item in front of him. "You're currently promoting, and your body seems to be mutating. I think you might be able to use this …"
Roy looked down and found that what Vulgrim was showing was actually … a kettle?!
"Are you sure you didn't take the wrong thing?" Roy asked him with wide eyes.
"Of course! I stole this from under the nose of the angel of death, Azriel, with great difficulty! "Vulgrim said proudly." This is well water from the Well of Souls! "
Roy looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Okay, let's assume that what you said is true, but what's the use of this thing?"
"Ha, this thing has many uses!" Vulgrim waved his hand. "But its greatest use is to purify and strengthen your soul!"
