Chapter 543 Puzzle
There was nothing worth staying in the castle, so Tang Sen did some divination and found the location of the princess.
Tang Sen entered the forest, passed through the lush woods where various animals lived, and finally saw a forest cabin.
Before he even got close, he heard a commanding voice coming from inside.
"What the hell is this? Even dogs eat better than this! Can this be called meat?"
"This is the tenderest part of the deer that I specially hunted from the forest."
"Who wants to eat this kind of thing!"
There was a clanging sound, and something was hit on the ground.
"I want the best ingredients, the best chefs, and the best environment!" The voice sounds very young, but it has a temperament that makes people want to be addicted to it.
Even if you don't see anyone, just hearing the sound is enough to make people daydream.
"This is the best we can find." Another voice replied in a low voice. There was no grievance in the voice, but more humility and enthusiasm.
"Then find something better!"
"Go outside the forest, go into those villages, there are babies everywhere who can't walk yet—"
Tang Sen frowned.
This is different from what I saw in the story.
But thinking about the ordinary tone in which the butcher talked about these things, this is probably the world.
Fairy tales are beautiful after all, but most of the beauty is just a fantasy.
He walked slowly to the house. The door was not closed. In this deep jungle, there was no need to close the door.
The house is small and short. From the door, you can see the smaller-than-usual furniture inside, as well as small people.
Compared to dwarves, Tang Sen believes that dwarfs are more appropriate to describe them.
At the inner end of the house, where the sun shines best through the windows, two dwarfs are kneeling on the ground, with a girl wearing a gorgeous skirt sitting on their backs.
The sunlight reflected off her skin was dazzling.
Tang Sen couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
This girl's skin is as white as snow, but it is not unhealthy pale like Naomi, but natural, as white as a jade, and her black and bright hair like a black waterfall falls on the light yellow dress. The eyes are hazel, and even if you just look at them, it's as bright as the stars in the night sky.
She is a girl who is so beautiful that it can make ordinary people speechless.
It was obvious that the faces of those dwarfs were full of obsession, and Tang Sen had no doubt that even if this girl asked them to die, they would not hesitate.
The stranger's intrusion obviously shocked the dwarf and the girl. Tang Sen could see the girl's eyes looking at him up and down, and he could also see the dwarfs' expressions changing from shock, to frowning, to finally becoming fierce.
"Who are you?" the girl said, her voice no longer as commanding as before, but with the innocence and agility unique to a girl.
Tang Sen did not answer him, because the dwarfs were already rushing toward him.
"No entry into our house!"
"Damn, where are your eyes looking?"
"The princess belongs only to us!"
"Pull his eyes out!"
"Take out his heart!"
They were like wild beasts, wanting to kill Tang Sen.
Dong Dong——
There was a heartbeat.
The bodies of the five dwarfs who rushed over suddenly stopped, including the two dwarfs who were kneeling on the ground as chairs. Their bodies stiffened, and then they all fell to the ground.
Long's power directly shocked these fragile mortals to death.
The girl staggered and almost fell because the chair fell.
She looked at the dead dwarfs, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she showed an expression of joy on her face and said to Tang Sen: "Are you here to save me?"
She happily approached Tang Sen: "I've had enough of these dwarves, take me away."
Her tone was matter-of-fact, her steps were light, and her skirt fluttered like a butterfly.
"Sorry, I'm here to kill you."
Tang Sen's face was expressionless, and the magic power in his body was running. He raised his finger and pointed at the girl.
Soul extraction is as simple as killing a mortal.
It was completely foreseeable that the beautiful body would fall stiffly like these dwarfs, and the ignorant and confused soul would break away from the body, and it would be time for him to leave this meaningless world of the heavens.
But the smile on the girl's face remained. She seemed to be running towards her lover, trying to throw herself into Tang Sen's arms.
This made Tang Sen stunned for a moment.
"Failed?"
Tang Sen's research on the soul is pretty good. Although it is definitely not as good as those mages of the Necromancy School, it is definitely enough to deal with ordinary people. Otherwise, he will not be able to rescue Tom's soul from the wick.
But the fact is right in front of her, and the girl is not affected at all.
Tang Sen took a step back, avoiding the girl, frowning slightly, and the magic power running in his body became stronger.
"You don't look like you are here to kill me." The girl stopped and stood gracefully in front of Tang Sen. "I have never seen you. You must not be from the Queen."
"You're kidding me, right?"
She smiled like a flower: "No need for this, take me away, I can give you whatever you want."
Tang Sen's frown deepened.
It was still useless, his magic power did not affect the person in front of him at all, as if this person had no soul at all.
Thinking of this, Tang Sen was suddenly startled.
He quickly turned his head and looked at the bodies of the dwarfs.
They were obviously dead, but Tang Sen did not feel the presence of any spirits.
This is not normal.
After the death of any human being, his spirit body will not dissipate immediately. Even if there is some kind of god responsible for extraditing them, there will definitely be a process of separation from the corpse.
But these dwarfs didn't.
Then Tang Sen suddenly recalled the butcher he killed, as well as the queen, and neither.
"The creatures in the fairy tale world don't have souls?"
Tang Sen couldn't help but come up with such a guess.
But he quickly rejected this idea. The soul is the most important component of living things. At least in Tang Sen's understanding, unless it is a man-made object, there will definitely be a soul.
Even though there are all kinds of wonders in the world, there are indeed soulless creatures in the whole world, but——
You can't go wrong with your purchasing tasks.
Since the soul of the princess belongs to the purchased product, then this thing must exist, unless the existence of this world exceeds the existence that issued the purchasing task for himself. Tang Sen does not think this possibility exists.
"Things get complicated."
Tang Sen narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is it because I don't know enough about souls, or is it because the souls of these creatures-"
"disappeared?"
