BXBX NOVEL Chapter 673 Sea Of Souls
Step. Step. Step.
Wain with a slow step headed toward the abyss as the light from the souls gradually fell on his body. Then he reached the edge, small stones fell down, and at the same time, his eyes opened wide.
"What the hell is this...?" Wain muttered with a dazed look.
Down below was a massive multicolored lake that slowly flowed in some direction. There were so many souls that visually they became one, so it was like rainbow water.
Crackle.
Suddenly a magical circle appeared on the ceiling from which several hundred souls of different sizes and colors burst forth, all heading toward the lake as they refilled it.
"These are all souls...?" Zero uttered while in disbelief, "That\'s incredible... I\'ve seen over a thousand souls in front of me a couple of times, but that\'s nothing compared to this... since it\'s a whole sea."
"Yeah. I didn\'t even think we\'d ever have something like this." Gisle smiled as he walked over to Wain.
"How many Souls are there in all?" Wain asked while not taking his eyes off the chasm, "You must have a way of figuring that out, right?"
"Sure. We\'re lucky that Vampire has some real pros at making formations out of magical circles, they\'re pretty damn useful stuff." Gisle said, summoning a crystal from the ring and tossing it into the air.
The crystal glowed brightly as several magical circles appeared in front of Gisle, but most of the symbols on them were rewritten into the normal language everyone spoke.
"Hmm? Did the Vampires do this?" Wain asked as he raised his eyebrows.
On the magical circles were the symbols of the Main Families that ruled in Terrin. Wain remembered them well, as he was familiar with some of the leaders.
"Yes. The Tran Family and the Dex Family have two real masters. They also worked together with Felix to build protection for the vault. Otherwise, it was impossible to get in or out of here." Gisle said as he waved his hand in a careless manner, "Well, almost done..."
The magical circles flashed as a massive table with various data appeared in front of it. Everything that could be determined was written there.
Which Dungeon had the most souls? What quality and Chronicle were these souls? How many souls were received per day, week, or month?
All of these questions were answered in the table. Of course, all they wanted to know was just the quantity.
"There are a total of 18,171,353 souls. There are eighteen million in all." Felix said in a calm voice, "Most souls go straight to the local vaults where they are distributed to all the people in Last Light and their allies, so here only what is saved for emergencies or special projects."
Felix had been here quite often, so it wasn\'t as surprising to him as it was to the others, especially Wain and Zero.
"Eighteen million..." Zero muttered while in disbelief, "How many souls come here every day?"
"Well, the vault started about three months ago. It\'s taken us quite a while to get it to the highest level." Gisle said as he shook his hand, "So... About 200,000 Souls come in here every day."
"That\'s just the supply." Felix said with a slight nod, "If you take into account the local storage facilities in the cities, it comes to about 400 or 500 thousand a day, however, most of it is immediately used to develop fighters, for smiths and other people."
"Damn... That\'s incredible... Isn\'t that crazy?" Zero muttered with a dazed look as she couldn\'t believe it.
"Huh, Zero, it\'s not as easy as you think. You have to stop thinking like a child." Gisle grinned as he raised a finger, "Only a fraction of the 18 million are Fourth Chronicle souls, the lower the Chronicle the more Souls of that type. The same goes for Rating."
"Hmm? Do you think I\'m stupid? I understand that, but 18 million is still a lot. Even if we\'re talking Fourth Chronicle, there still has to be a lot of souls." Zero frowned.
"Well, let\'s check it out." Gisle said as he turned to the table and his gaze fell on one line.
"Even though there are 18 million souls here, there are only 134 Ascendant Rating Fourth Chronicle Souls. There are only about 40 of them a month. Do you still think that\'s a lot?" Gisle asked in a mocking manner.
"Agh... Math is not my specialty..." Zero uttered with a disgruntled look.
"Hmm... Maybe compared to 18 million 134 seems like a small number, but it\'s still quite a lot. By the way, how many Legendary Souls are there?" Wain asked as he looked into the abyss.
The lake was mostly dominated by white, but Wain could clearly see all the others, even red, however, he couldn\'t see any amber, not even a thin streak.
"Well, they\'re not here." Gisle shrugged.
"Why?" Wain asked with a confused look.
"Legendary Souls are too rare. It\'s not that there aren\'t any, it\'s just that sometimes finding a Legendary Monster is a lot harder than defeating it, even with how many Dungeons we have. If someone defeats a Legendary Monster, they use the soul for themselves, or even if that person decides to give the soul to a vault, we quickly find who deserves to get it. Legendary Souls are special, I\'m sure you know that better than anyone." Gisle said as he closed the table and walked to the edge of the chasm.
"However, there is one Fourth Chronicle Legendary Soul." Gisle uttered with a serious look, "That one is in your share."
Whooooooosh.
Gisle waved his hand as several magical circles appeared on the walls, that out of the lake toward Wain headed a massive stream that consisted of hundreds of different souls ahead of which flew a huge as though sun amber soul.
"There are 5,683 Fourth Chronicle Souls here. Out of 18 million, that seems small, but in fact here is about a third of all the Fourth Chronicle Souls that we have." Gisle said with a slight smile on his face.
