According to the process Mardell said, Soshyan held the Hellfire Stone in one hand and the Phoenix Holy Grail in the other hand. Inside was a burning true fire. Then he walked over and placed the Hellfire Stone inside the open helmet. on the pedestal, then lift up the Holy Grail and carefully "pour" the flames inside towards the Hellfire Stone.
The white-gold flames were seen dripping on the Hellfire Stone like fluid, and then dispersed the red color, turning the entire gem into a shining translucent diamond form.
Soshyan took two steps back, and the head of the structure gradually closed, and then closed completely with a snap.
A few seconds later, the eyes on the bird's head suddenly flashed, and then burned with golden flames. The spiritual light structure also stood up staggeringly, and the materialized spiritual energy formed soft streamers like feather wings behind it. It looked gorgeous and noble, and the powerful surge of spiritual energy even gave some Bonesingers the illusion of drowning, causing them to cough. .
After moving its arms for a while, it seemed that it was still not used to this body. The body quickly swayed a few times, but it finally stood firm, then lowered its head and let out a rich voice.
"I am the envoy of the Phoenix, the communicator of the divine voice. The fire of Asuryan witnesses my rebirth, and the original Phoenix will surely return!"
Then it knelt down on one knee towards Soshyan.
"Soshiyang, you are the holder of the original fire. Accept everything calmly, including my loyalty."
Soshyan said nothing, but raised his chin slightly.
"Get up and come with me. I have something to talk to you in private."
A long time later, in the side hall of the Phoenix Palace, after listening to Soshyan's narration, Mader just stood there quietly, like a statue.
Soshyan glanced at him, and then said helplessly:
"You said nothing, why? Don't you know anything about Orod? Including Asuryan's plan."
It was only then that Mardell's head moved slightly, and finally he uttered a sentence.
"This is how dangerous a woman's life is. Who in the galaxy can be called the supreme?"
"Ha, that's quite elegant. What do you mean, you didn't know Orode would die?"
"What I am waiting for is the Lord of True Fire. If he is not there, then it is not. As for the original Phoenix's plan, I know nothing about it. I only do what I can do."
Soshyan sneered twice and walked behind Mader.
"Okay, okay, you don't say anything. You all think that I will follow each of your plans, so we'll see."
Mardel turned around.
"I'm not lying, Suo Shiyang, you don't need to be angry. The original Phoenix is greater than you think. Its thoughts are not limited to one clan or one country. It walks the path of truth. Since you are the person it chooses, then your It's just what it means, no need to worry about it."
Soshyan turned around sharply.
"How could I not mind? If it hadn't come up with the Gray Marrow Project, how could Xerxes be forced to a desperate end?"
"It was his father who drove him to a dead end. You know this better than anyone else."
Soshyan raised his hand.
"I won't argue with you about this. Now I just ask you, who might have killed Orod? The Deceiver?"
After Madel was silent for a long time, she said an answer that surprised Soshyan:
"It should be Xilego."
"Ada the Laughing God!?"
Soshyan's eyes widened.
"But Orold said he found traces of the Star God."
"Even the most powerful fragment of the Deceiver may not be able to kill Orod who possesses the Original Flame Pendant, so the so-called traces of the Star God are very likely to be the trap of the Laughing God."
"Evidence? Or what is the basis?"
"This is just my personal guess. What you asked about is only a possibility."
"Then what makes you make this guess?"
"It is very close to the Deceiver and has had contact with the Master of Mankind."
Soshyan walked back and forth for a few steps with his hands behind his back, sometimes lowering his head, sometimes raising his head, and after a moment he turned around to look.
To Mardell.
"Silego is Asuryan's opponent?"
"no."
"Then why?"
"It's unknown. Silegor may have his own goals, or he may be worried about being exposed. He is a god who regards secrets as everything."
For some reason, Soshyan thought of Erda. Things in subspace cannot be inferred by common sense, which means that his current thinking does not make any sense.
"Well, Mardel, your body is already in shape. How can you help me?"
"what do you need?"
Soshyan replied without thinking:
"A personal army that is absolutely loyal to me in the royal court, such as a Phoenix warrior."
Mardell nodded slightly.
"Okay, you first select 5,000 adult men. You don't need to consider their past identities. However, there is a risk of failure in this ritual. It's up to you to choose whether to inform them. In addition, I will teach the Bonesingers how to create the ability to experience The technology of armor tempered by true fire, or you can choose a Bonesinger you think you can trust to accept it."
Five thousand adult men is not a small number for the current royal court, not to mention the risk of failure, the consequences of which may not be acceptable.
"What is the risk of failure? What will be the consequences?"
"Twenty to three percent, the consequence will of course be complete death. The kind that won't retain the soul."
The failure rate of 20% to 30% for 5,000 people means that at least one fifth of the candidates will die completely. This price is a bit too high based on Soshyan's understanding of Ada.
And their relatives may not accept this result.
Sure enough, the Ada population problem is still the biggest drawback. If it were placed in the Empire, the success rate of transformation surgery like Space Marines might be only 20-30%. It would be easy to do without blinking an eye, but the mortality rate would be 20-30%. It's completely unbearable.
The point is that not even the soul can be retained. In the eyes of Ada, this is almost synonymous with being devoured by Slaanesh. It is a result that no Ada can accept.
After thinking about it again and again, Soshyan sighed softly.
"That's all, let's put this matter aside for now and let me think about it later. Do you know how to create a psychic beast?"
"Of course, what type do you want? The Nether Wolf Spider, a variant of the Dimensional Spider, the Glitter Beast, or the Void Salamander? Or the various star dragons? But these are more for mortals just for viewing and play, and are useful It’s a minority.”
"Well, the very huge ground dragons, such as mountain dragons, are very huge and have eight legs."
Mardell was silent for a long time, and finally uttered one sentence.
"Those are livestock. They are extremely boring mortals.
