Chapter 330: Barbarians (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Goblet of Soul]: Special item, the goblet where the Barbarians’ souls are kept.

The Goblet of Soul was forged by Roche Crystals, which were finely processed from Roche Bricks. There was a total of thousands of cross-sections, which were sharp and biting cold, and holding it with one’s palm was as though holding an iron sword.

Tiny sparks of flames were burning in the middle of the Goblet of Soul. The fire wobbled and looked shaky as if it might extinguish at any moment.

‘What is this thing?’ Lin Jie flipped that goblet here and there, but he did not find anything special about it. Thus, he conveniently threw the goblet into his backpack. ‘This may be a mission item, so I’ll just leave it there first.’

Ding~

—’Living creatures are not allowed to enter the backpack.’

‘Oh?’ Lin Jie couldn’t help but grin. In The New Age, there were many immortals such as Liches or human Legendary Grand Mages. They would use means such as entrusting their souls on an object to prolong their lives. It looked like this Goblet of Soul also hid something.

“Barbarians pick: Come out to talk yourselves, or should I force you out?” Lin Jie played with the Goblet of Soul by spinning it in circles, but he did receive any response.

Lin Jie shrugged as wanting to deal with such a goblet was too simple. He placed the Goblet of Soul in front of him and blew gently...

“Stop!”

“Human, I will kill you!”

“Don’t extinguish the fire!”

Three voices could be heard from the goblet almost simultaneously as three small souls in the shape of a human appeared from within the goblet. Bloodlust was emanated viciously like ferocious beasts. They were three souls that belonged to Barbarians.

Lin Jie had come into contact with quite the number of soul containers, so how could the secret of this goblet be able to be hidden from him? For this Goblet of Soul, the souls would instantly disperse as long as the fire was extinguished.

[Barbarian Clan Head Lacarot]: Level 25 Rare Elite

[Barbarian Clan Head Mouma]: Level 25 Rare Elite

[Barbarian Clan Head Graham]: Level 25 Rare Elite

‘It’s actually clan heads? Looks like it is real that the Ancient Wilderness Temple had accepted Barbarians in.’ Lin Jie’s turned his eyes, and an idea instantly popped up in his head. He let out an evil smile and said, “Hello Clan Heads, I am an adventurer, who was attracted by your fame, and I came here...”

“Hmph, I can see that you are an adventurer, but I understand even more deeply that you are an alternate realm human, the so-called representative of gods. You could revive infinitely, being reborn repeatedly, and have endless growth potential.” The Clan Head named Mouma sneered, then he waved his hand and said, “Since you are able to sneak into the Ancient Wilderness Temple, it means your ability is quite strong. I have a mission here, go and kill the Magus Berserker hidden within the temple, I will give you some rewards that cannot be imagined!”

Ding~

—’Do you accept the mission [Kill Magus Berserker]?’

Lin Jie sneered and inverted the Goblet of Soul. The three little souls instantly turned upside down.

“You’re only left with a soul, and you still dare to speak like that. Giving me a mission? Barbarian, you better take a good look and understand your situation.” Lin Jie gathered Blade Aura onto his fingertips and pierced towards the goblet, accurately piercing into Mouma’s chest through the fire.

“Tssss” a sound like cold water was poured onto charcoal, could be heard, and the Barbarian Clan Head’s soul was so easily extinguished by Lin Jie. 1/3 of the fire in the goblet was evidently extinguished and became shakier as if it was going to go out at any time.

“Damned human, you dare do this to us? Do you know who I am? I was the Barbarian Head of 300 tribes and ruled the Northwest Wastelands... Ah, what are you doing?”

Amongst the two survivors, the Barbarian Head named Lacarot was about to reveal his impressive and shocking title, but what greeted him was the second Aura Blade, which pierced him. He did not even have time to say the second half of his sentence, and his soul disappeared!

Lin Jie casually looked at the last Barbarian soul, smiled calmly, and said, “How about you?”

“Respectable Warrior, it’s my pleasure to meet you.” The last Barbarian was obviously much smarter and changed into a straight face as he bowed respectfully. “Barbarian Graham shows my respect for you.”

“Very good, you are more tactful than the other two.” Lin Jie nodded laudably. “Since you have that awareness, then turn into a Character Role Card to show your loyalty as I have many questions to ask you. However, if you don’t show your loyalty, I can’t trust you no matter what. I don’t want a snake in my bosom, so I would rather kill you than take a bet of your betrayal.”

“You!” The Barbarian Clan Head’s soul let out a scream of Soul Rage and gathered to form a whirlpool, which was about to attack Lin Jie. However, once he saw Lin Jie’s cold glare, he hurriedly stopped his attack. He gritted his teeth and said, “Barbarians will never surrender, I’ll defend to the death the principle of the Barbarians! Even if you kill me—”

Lin Jie gathered his Blade Aura again and gradually closed in to the Goblet of Soul.

There are many dangers in the Ancient Wilderness Temple, so he was unwilling to bring some Barbarian that might get in his way.

‘What if the Barbarian triggers some trap, then wouldn’t I die a horrible death?’

The Blade Aura neared the goblet, it was almost about to extinguish the fire.

“Stop, stop! I’m willing to yield!” shouted Graham loudly. Then his body turned into a half-transparent Character Role Card but still in the soul state, which needed to rely on the Goblet of Soul to survive.

Lin Jie looked intrigued as he read the card.

[Character Card: Barbarian Clan Head’s Soul Graham] (Silver)

Level 25

Health Points: 1,000

Attack: 56-135

Defense: 0

Additional effect: Graham is able to absorb souls to strengthen himself. When his soul is powerful enough, he will be able to form a real body and battle.

‘Silver? I didn’t expect that.’ Lin Jie was slightly surprised. He waved his hand and let Graham out of the Character Card.

When NPCs became Character Cards, it was equal to becoming the player’s slave, or it could be said that they had signed the Master-Servant Contract. Players could easily destroy the card with a flip of their hand, and the character inside would die, meaning they could completely decide whether the character lived or died.

Of course, no one would be willing to destroy the card. Even if it was just a Bronze Card, there would also be missions and information on treasures hidden in it.

Some people called those Character Cards as “treasure maps of another form”.

“You are the Barbarian Clan Head, why would you come here?” Lin Jie instantly asked the question that had bothered him for many years. Even if it was those people in the forum, who had researched the game’s history, they also had difficulties in answering this question: Why did the Barbarian Era, which prospered for a period of time, suddenly met its destruction? Just what was the Ancient Wilderness Temple hiding?

Graham replied respectfully, “Master, I know the reason, but please forgive me as the power controlling us is too powerful. It is so strong that once I mention his name, my soul would be controlled and fall into the bottomless abyss for eternity.”

“Magus Berserker?”

“Yes, and no.”

Lin Jie looked as if he was deep in thought, and then he continued asking, “What is the Goblet of Soul’s use?”

“Master, it is able to store Barbarians’ souls, and they would not disappear within 10,000 years. The goblet will also absorb the power of other souls to enhance ourselves until our soul grows and become the Immortal Barbarian Soul,” replied Graham replied. “As for you, Master, you can absorb the souls into the Goblet of Soul when killing Barbarians. Through burning it in fire, the souls can revert back to the most origin power to enhance yourself. If you can give me enough power, then I can even gather the strength of the souls to form an Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe and strike a deadly blow.”

Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe!

‘This Barbarian actually knows the Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe, which only the Legendary Barbarian Berserker was able to use?’ Lin Jie clearly remembered that in his previous life, the City of Barbarians’ leader had gathered an Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe when battling the invading devils from the Devils Fork. The number of devils that strike had sliced into two could be counted in the tens of thousands, amongst them also included two Legendary Devils!

This Barbarian actually knew this skill?

On second thought, Graham was also a nearly-invincible Barbarian Clan Head when he had been alive, a presence that could conquer the whole mainland. Thus, Graham being able to use such Barbarian’s secret technique was not weird at all.

Lin Jie nodded and said, “How many souls do you need to absorb to be able to use the Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe?”

The Barbarian’s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, “The Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe is the core strength of the Barbarians, so Barbarians’ souls are needed. Master only needs to let me devour 20 Barbarians’ souls. Then I will be able to recover the functions of the Goblet of Soul and activate the gathering of the Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe. However, I would need at least over 2,000 Barbarians’ souls to be able to gather the complete Battleaxe.”

“Ssss...” Lin Jie was shocked and took a deep breath. “2,000 Barbarians? Even the entire City of Barbarians doesn’t have that many, right? One should know that Barbarians are already a rare race now. Besides absorbing souls, are there no other ways?”

“Yes! You can let the Barbarians pray to you every day to gather Barbarians’ Will. The will that is produced by 100,000 Barbarians in one month would be able to gather the Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe!”

“Uh... We’ll talk about this matter another time.” Lin Jie waved his hand and kept the Goblet of Soul into his backpack.

100,000 Barbarians praying for one month? Then wouldn’t 2,000 Barbarians need to pray for two years to be able to use the skill once? Such a skill meant that it had a cooldown of a few years—it was not a skill that could be used often! Moreover, Lin Jie was not some powerful being like the Barbarian God. What reason did Lin Jie have to convince 2,000 Barbarians to pray to him?

“Master, there is quite the number of Goblet of Souls hidden around the Ancient Wilderness Temple, you can find them all. After I devour them and refine the souls, I can feedback to you.” Graham left that sentence and disappeared.

Lin Jie smiled thoughtfully. ‘Refine the souls, feedback to me? Haha!’

Ignoring Graham, Lin Jie summarized the information he had obtained:

Firstly, the Ancient Wilderness Temple did have a story unknown to everyone.

Secondly, the Goblet of Soul had an important function, which might even involve the fearsome skill [Ancient Wilderness Battleaxe].

Thirdly, there were many Goblet of Souls in the Ancient Wilderness Temple.

‘However, he had pointed out the positions to me. The God of War mission is likely related to that Magus Berserker. The reason why Barbarians had been reduced to this state definitely has something to do with the Ancient Wilderness Temple,’ thought Lin Jie in his heart.

He pushed open the door and walked in. What comforted him was that killing the two Clan Heads’ souls did not count into the number of the Ancient Wilderness Curse.

The rundown Ancient Wilderness Temple’s hall was filled with countless weapon racks, such as swords, spears, halberds, axes, and many more, all weapons were included! Numerous Goblet of Souls were thrown everywhere, but the fire within had already extinguished.

In the middle of the hall was situated a tattered and old sack, which seemed to have been slashed countless of times by weapons such as swords, revealing the treasures within.

Lin Jie could not help but exclaim in amazement, “The raw materials of Roche Crystals, Barbarians’ skin, hand bone of Barbaric Beast... These are all good stuff.”

Suddenly, Lin Jie’s body trembled as he stared at a shiny thing amongst the items. He swallowed his saliva hard. “Levitation Grass! There is actually Levitation Grass here!”
