Hearing Tang En's words, Aegwynn's face was filled with confusion. She glanced at Albern on the chair and carefully confirmed Tang En's words.
"You mean … deceiving his judgment? But … how should we do it? "
Aiguin didn't think that Tang En's guess was right. If they angered Albern, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although he knew that Albern was just a wisp of consciousness, Tang En still leaned close to Aiguin and whispered, as if he was worried that Albern would hear.
"You should have a way to restrain your energy waves and make yourself appear like a normal person, right?"
The warm air brushed past her sensitive area. It was as if an electric current had rushed from her tailbone to her brain. Aiguin couldn't help but twitch her ears and nod slightly.
"It's not possible to completely restrain it, but I can merge with the environment. Others won't be able to detect my presence. But are you sure this will work?"
"We'll know if it works or not when we try."
Tang En smiled mysteriously. In life, there were always things that were worth fighting for.
Thus, Aiguin began to restrain her energy. The aura she released became weaker and weaker, and her presence suddenly decreased. In just a moment, Tang En was completely unable to detect Aiguin's presence.
Even though he knew that she was beside him, Tang En still couldn't find her.
At this moment, Aiguin had become a part of the environment. In Tang En's eyes, she might have become a brick. In the forest, she might have become a tree, a blade of grass, or even a leaf.
This was the talent of the elves. With Aiguin's strength, even if she faced a Legendary master, this talent would help her to hide perfectly.
Not to mention Albern, who only had a wisp of consciousness left.
After Aiguin disappeared, Albern's reaction was obviously slower. He first looked around before finally stopping his gaze on Tang En.
"I am the wandering swordsman Albern Augustine!
"I am — the human closest to God!"
"Visitor, you were able to pass the test I left behind. This proves that you possess great potential and sufficient wisdom."
"This is enough to make you proud."
"Strength and wisdom are the two keys to the truth of the world. Neither can be missing."
"After obtaining my inheritance, you will become a true expert!"
"Visitor, are you ready to inherit everything from me?!"
Albern fell silent after saying that.
"It's different from what you said just now …"
Tang En muttered, and then whispered a few words to Elijah. Elijah immediately became nervous and said timidly, "Can I?"
"Believe in yourself, you can do it."
After Tang En gave his encouragement, he followed his original plan and completely suppressed his mana fluctuations.
Thus, as expected, Albern could only target Elijah and repeat what he had just said.
Elijah looked at Tang En and then at Aiguin. She said nervously, "I, I'm ready!"
Albern received a reply, and the flames in his eyes instantly surged. The surrounding candlelight also turned dark blue, and the atmosphere in the hall became abnormally strange.
"Very good!"
"I've waited here for a long time, and today, my successor has finally arrived!"
"Now, come over and place your hand here —"
Albern pointed at the sapphire necklace on his chest. "I will use my last flame of life to pass all my experience and wisdom to you! As for you, you will be the successor of me, Albern! "
Elijah walked up the stage nervously. Facing the skeleton-like Albern, she was very afraid.
Elijah pressed her hand on the sapphire necklace, trying her best to calm herself down and wait for Albern's inheritance.
"You need to endure all the pain, or else the inheritance will fail, and we won't have a second chance."
Albern stared at Elijah and warned her one last time. Seeing Elijah nod in agreement, the flames in his eyes shrunk and expanded. A cold aura flowed out of the sapphire and surged into Elijah's brain through her arm.
The inheritance began!
Tang En and Aiguin stared at Elijah nervously.
Heavy.
This was Elijah's first feeling. It was as if her entire body was tightly bound, and a heavy burden was placed on her shoulders, making it hard for her to breathe.
Cold.
The aura from the sapphire brought extreme coldness. A thick layer of ice had already appeared on Elijah's arm, freezing her hand and the sapphire necklace together.
Hot!
After the coldness, what occupied her body was an unbearable heat. It was as if a sun had exploded in her body, and she was sweating all over.
Pain.
The meridians in her body seemed to be scraped by a knife, and the rapidly flowing power rushed through Elijah's body.
Elijah, who was forcefully enduring the pain, suddenly remembered. Wasn't this the characteristic of the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind that Tang En told her when he taught her magic?
The pain made Elijah's body abnormal. Her face was covered with protruding blood vessels, and she looked to be in great pain.
Aiguin and Tang En were watching all this, but in order not to affect Elijah's inheritance, they still suppressed their auras and hid their existence very well.
Nola was even simpler. As long as she didn't want to, no one in this world could see her.
A whirlpool seemed to appear around Elijah and Albern. All the candlelight was attracted to them, and the air became extremely restless.
The power in the sapphire poured into Elijah's body crazily. Tang En looked at Albern's face …
Why … do I feel like he's smiling?
Why is this smile so annoying?
Tang En had a bad premonition. His gaze fell on the sapphire necklace in front of Albern's chest.
Wait!
Sapphire?
Tang En's eyes widened. He suddenly remembered the use of sapphire!
In Prandal, all kinds of gems had their own magical uses. Rubies could store strong elemental power, emeralds could be filled with pure magic, and topaz could be inlaid on a magic staff to stabilize the release of magic …
Sapphire was often used in alchemy. It was the most commonly used gem in alchemy dolls.
This was because sapphire could store a creature's soul!
Oh no!
Tang En was shocked. He wanted to remind Elijah, but he realized that the inheritance had already ended!
As the last wisp of soul aura entered Eliya's body, the flames in the corpse's eye sockets were completely extinguished, and the candlelight returned to normal. With a crisp cracking sound, the sapphire turned into a pile of sparkling fragments.
The hall was silent!
"Hehe …"
"Haha …"
"Hahaha …"
Elijah suddenly laughed wildly. A tyrannical force rushed in all directions!
"Elijah?"
Aiguin and Tang En were shocked. They looked at Elijah worriedly.
Nola tilted her head and looked at Elijah. "It doesn't seem like Elijah … She gives Nola a strange feeling …"
"I, Albern, have been revived!"
Albern, or more accurately, Albern who had taken over Elijah's body, turned around with a smile.
"Albern!?"
Aiguin was stunned. Then, her eyes widened. "You took over her body!?"
"Elven Legend … Human Wizard … I thought it was an illusion. After all, it's hard to sense the situation outside through the sapphire."
Albern only noticed Aiguin now. He smiled. "Her body can help me break through the limits of humans and become a new God. It's her honor."
Seeing the familiar yet strange smile on that face, Tang En frowned. He felt very uncomfortable.
Tang En roared, "Get out here right now!"
Aiguin took out her dragonsteel sword and looked at Albern seriously. "Leave her body!"
"Are you ordering me around? Elf! "
Albern laughed wildly.
"Even if you're Albern, you're no match for me now."
Aiguin said word by word. She pointed the dragonsteel sword at Albern's head. "Leave her body!"
"That's right. After a long sleep and the side effects of the soul transfer, I'm very weak. I'm no match for you," Albern admitted frankly.
Then he walked in front of them and revealed a strange smile. "But, Elves, humans."
"Can you make a move against this body?"
Albern grasped Aiguin and Tang En's weaknesses.
He knew that if they didn't have a good relationship, they wouldn't be able to enter this place together.
Aiguin tried again and again. As long as she stabbed with her weapon, the sword could pierce through her heart. However, she found that she couldn't do it.
"Albern, you're a hero. Why do you have to do this?!"
Aiguin couldn't understand Albern's actions.
"So what if I'm a hero? Can't heroes have their own bodies? Heroes will also die of old age! "
Albern suddenly laughed wildly. "My only wish is to become a true God as a human!"
"Then I'll go and question that guy Yebierni. Why did my wife and daughter, who were such devout believers, die of illness in the end?!"
"When they were being tormented by illness, where were those high and mighty Gods?! Why didn't Yebierni send down holy light?! Why didn't they receive blessings?! "
"What's funny is that when I reached the demigod realm and finally had the chance to see those Gods, I had to join them in that war!"
"In the end, I became some kind of hero! How ironic! "
"What kind of hero! I'm just a piece of trash who can't even protect my wife and daughter! "
Albern's face was ferocious. He roared at the top of his lungs, denouncing the injustice he had suffered.
"If the Gods who created Prandal can't bring us glory, then we'll become the new Gods and replace them!"
Aiguin's expression changed. Albern's experience was pitiful, but what he said now was undoubtedly blasphemy!
