This was the first clothed soul he had seen since entering the Inner Plane.
Yes, it was still a soul.
Because she was an energy body, her body emitted a faint luster. In the pitch-black cave, her existence was extremely dazzling.
The first thing he saw after entering the cave was a glowing little girl crouching among the stalactites, sobbing and wiping her tears from time to time.
Although the girl was crying, she was not like the undead outside, who covered their faces to hide their resentment and sobbed. From time to time, she would use her chubby little hands to wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
There was very little resentment in her, and her soul was pure and clean.
Unlike the other undead creatures outside, she was a pure soul that hadn't fallen into depravity yet.
When he got close to her, Toby became even more impatient and kept trying to fly towards the little girl. His gaze slowly moved from the top of her head to her hands.
The girl kept wiping her tears away while opening and closing her palms. When she opened her palm, Angor noticed a transparent bead emitting a faint white light.
"It looks like a clam bead. The more transparent it is, the better it is." This was how Grand Priest Bya described the Soul Orb.
The transparent bead in the girl's hand was exactly the same as described by the Grand Priest. Toby couldn't wait to get his hands on the bead as well.
Without a doubt, this was the Soul Orb.
According to the Grand Priest's description, the Soul Orb in the girl's hand was almost transparent, which meant it was one of the best Soul Orbs.
However, he didn't want to steal a Soul Orb from a little girl, even if she was just a soul.
Perhaps the Illuminating Spell had disturbed her. The little girl sniffled and raised her head.
She was about eight or nine years old.
She had wavy, blond hair, emerald eyes, red eyes, a broken nose, and freckles on her cheeks. All of these made her look both cute and ugly.
"She looks like …" Angor immediately remembered the skeleton of a little girl he found in an open coffin. The girl in the skeleton's necklace looked very similar to the girl in front of him.
There were still differences between a simple drawing and a real person, but the author of the drawing was very accurate. Curly hair, a broken nose, and freckles … she looked exactly like the girl in front of him.
The girl stopped sobbing when she saw the Light spell that looked like a "small sun". She reached out her chubby hands and tried to grab the tail of the sun.
"Are you a pretty big sister? Did you come to see me? "The girl's voice sounded a little soft.
Pretty big sister? Angor watched as the little girl floated into the air and chased after the Light spell. He was confused. Listening to this little girl's tone, would there be a "big sister" coming to see her?
"Where are you, big sister?" The girl looked around. she couldn't find her big sister. However, she still couldn't see her long-awaited big sister. She pouted and said, "Big sister, it's so cold and lonely here. Can I go back?"
The little girl sniffled as she talked to herself.
"Big sister, I want to go back. My brother gave me a painting. I don't want to stay here."
"Big sister …"
The little girl talked to herself for a long time before Angor figured out that someone must have brought her here from her coffin. The girl stayed here for a long time and felt lonely. She wanted to go back to the coffin where her brother gave her the painting.
The open coffin lid, the painting in the necklace, and the little girl's face, as well as her words. Angor was almost certain that the girl was the owner of the skeleton he saw in the coffin.
When he was almost done with his analysis, he finally decided to talk. "Who's this big sister you're talking about?"
The sudden male voice surprised the girl. She looked at Angor who was slowly showing up and backed away in fear.
"You're not big sister …" The girl's eyes were already filled with tears.
Angor rubbed his temples helplessly. He was not good at dealing with a child's emotions at all.
He took a few steps back and stayed away from the little girl's self-protection range. He lowered his voice and said softly, "I don't mean any harm to you. I just want to know who this big sister you're talking about is."
Angor wanted to get straight to the point and talk about the Soul Orb. However, he still had doubts in his heart. Why would this little girl have such a high quality Soul Orb? As a Soul Orb, undead creatures outside would go crazy when they saw it. It was impossible for the girl to keep it forever.
Angor's instinct told him that the girl must have gotten the Soul Orb not long ago, and it might have something to do with the "big sister" she mentioned.
The girl looked at Angor without saying anything.
Angor thought she was frightened, so he tried to say something to ease her mind. However, he suddenly felt a young and tender soul power touching him timidly.
Angor was surprised. So this was the girl's way of testing him.
Without hesitation, Angor sent out a spirit feeler to touch the soul energy.
The girl seemed to have sensed the pure and gentle nature of Angor's spirit. She slowly withdrew her soul energy and asked timidly, "Who are you, big brother?"
Before Angor could answer, Toby began to struggle even harder, aiming at the Soul Orb in the girl's hand.
The sound of Toby's wings fluttering attracted the little girl's attention to the little bird in pretty clothes. Her eyes lit up and she smiled happily. "Bird! It's a bird!"
"Do you like birds?" Angor gently comforted Toby. Under his gentle touch, Toby slowly stopped struggling.
"I like little birds. I used to have a little bird too. It's called Hua … Hua …" The little girl said happily, but when she said the name, she suddenly stopped. After saying 'Hua' for a long time, she finally gave up and lowered her head dejectedly. "I forgot its name."
"But it's your friend, isn't it?" While speaking, Angor created an illusion in his hand. It was the same bird he saw on the silk painting.
The bird had beautiful feathers that looked like peacock feathers, small wings, and a delicate appearance. The only downside was that the bird he created was black and white. Because that piece of silk was originally a simple drawing, it had no color.
"Yes! That's it! It's my friend! "The girl happily ran to Angor from the corner and reached out her hand to touch the bird.
He released the illusion bird and asked it to flap its wings around the little girl.
The girl seemed to understand that she couldn't touch the bird, so she put down her hand and watched the bird fly in the air with a happy smile.
"What color do you think the bird's feathers are?"
"Green," the girl answered without hesitation.
Angor smiled. The bird fluttered in the air, and its feathers turned bright green.
"What color do you think this pattern is?" "Red!"
"What about this place?" "What about its eyes?" "Its —"
Following a series of questions and answers, the illusory bird put on a set of beautiful clothes. Although it was a little strange, it was quite beautiful.
When the bird turned into what the girl imagined it to be, she laughed even louder. Her voice was soft and crisp like a silver bell in the wind.
Thanks to the bird, Angor was less resistant to the little girl's feelings and more friendly toward him.
Angor took the opportunity to ask another question. "Who's the 'big sister' you mentioned? Is the pearl in your hand given to you by little sister? "
Angor did not know what else he could do, but he did not have any better ideas.
"She's a big sister." The girl looked at the bead in her hand and nodded. "Yes. She gave me this bead. She said that as long as I have it, I won't feel pain anymore."
As the little girl spoke, she clutched the bead tightly and placed it in front of her chest, smiling happily.
Angor noticed that as the girl placed the Soul Bead in front of her chest, the grudge around her was slowly removed, and her soul became purer.
It seemed that the Soul Bead was used to remove the grudge from her body.
She had been staying in the cemetery in the outside world. Even if she was a pure soul at first, there were countless undead in the cemetery. Under the influence of endless resentment, it was normal for her to be contaminated with resentment. If she continued to stay in the cemetery, she would inevitably fall and become an undead.
Even if she left the undead's territory, she would still be corrupted by the grudge around her body.
However, the "big sister" took her to the bottom of the well and gave her a Soul Bead to remove the grudge. She also left a purifying spell at the mouth of the well. Without being corrupted by the undead, the chances of her becoming a degenerate would slowly decrease.
Angor's expression turned gloomy when he thought of this.
If that was the case, the Soul Bead would be irreplaceable to her. How could he steal it from a little girl?
Angor felt conflicted. She seemed to have read his mind.
She ran to Angor and handed him the Soul Bead. "Do you like it too, big brother? I can give it to you. I don't feel any pain these days, so I think I'm better now. "
Angor was a little surprised to see the girl's sincere look.
A moment later, he smiled and pushed the Soul Bead back to her.
"Thanks. I really want it too, big brother. But you can keep it for now. I'll go find that big sister of yours later. If I can get something from her, I won't have to take it from you. "Angor felt a little embarrassed when he said those words.
He rejected the girl's offer, but he left some leeway in his words: "I might come back if I don't get the Soul Bead."
Angor felt a little embarrassed, but it was true.
He felt bad for taking the girl's Soul Bead, but if he couldn't find enough Soul Beads in Dark Castle, he would still come back. For the little girl was only a strange soul to him, and he felt pity for her; but Toby was his dear friend, and his family. It was easy to tell who was close to whom.
The girl didn't understand Angor's thoughts. She only put away the Soul Bead with a puzzled look.
"You didn't answer me. Who's that big sister of yours? What's her name? "Angor asked.
The girl pondered for a moment. "She said her name is … Greya?"
