Chapter 176 The Soul That Cannot Be Resurrected
Amber had seen the ghost ship and had just ridden on it.
But the ghost ship had become a spirit, and the person standing in front of him was a powerful demigod. Amber was still so surprised that his jaw dropped.
No wonder there are no other undead on this ship. A demigod ghost ship with self-awareness probably doesn’t like other people coming in and out of its body.
Amberxiu subconsciously floated up and didn't dare to step on the deck again.
This little action made Aige smile. Amberxiu was much smarter and more careful than those ignorant undead pirates under her command. If they were not both members of the Mourning Poets Society, she would really like to recruit the lich Amberxiu as her own.
Amber Xiu calmed down and continued, "Shipbuilder, ghost ship... Captain Aige, your original body must have turned into a ghost ship because of an accidental sinking. Did your creator die in this accident?"
Ai Ge nodded: "Yes, when I became conscious, he was only a skeleton left."
Ai Ge stretched out his finger and pointed, the door of the cabin opened, and a crystal coffin emitting blue and white light floated out from it.
Amber looked inside and saw a tall old man with white hair and beard.
"Is this his body? As expected, there is no trace of soul left."
Ai Ge explained to An Boxiu: "I tried many ways, but I only restored his body, but his soul has been missing."
An Boxiu suddenly felt something was wrong and thought, "The old man who was like a teacher and a father to you, because of his death, you are entering a new life... Wait, why does this plot look so familiar?"
"Captain Ai Ge, please wait a moment. I have something to ask you."
Ai Ge looked at Amber Xiu curiously as he took out a special gold coin. There was obvious divine power on the gold coin, which was obviously a divine weapon. What did the lich do with the gold coin? Could this divine weapon restore the soul that had dissipated? Amber Xiu didn't have any sense of ceremony, and directly said to the gold coin: "Teacher, are you there? I have a very important question for you?"
Ai Ge: ??? The gold coin shone with brilliant light, and the phantom of the God of Alchemy appeared on the gold coin.
"What's wrong again..." The God of Alchemy complained, then saw Ai Ge and said in surprise: "Wow, a powerful demigod! Did my troublesome student offend you? For my sake, let him go this time, and I will make him apologize to you."
Ai Ge showed a surprised expression. This was a true God. How could he be summoned with just one sentence?
Even the gods’ own sons may not receive such treatment.
An Boxiu interrupted and said, "Don't spread rumors about me. Am I the type to offend people easily? Let me ask you something. Have you ever built a ship?"
The God of Alchemy shook his head and said, "How do you build a ship? I've rarely seen the ocean. Oh, this is the bottom of the ocean. I didn't notice it just now. Have you found the artifact of the elves?"
"Have you really never built a ship?" Amber Xiu asked.
The God of Alchemy said dissatisfiedly: "Why would I lie to you? I am an alchemist, not a shipbuilder. These are two completely different professions!"
It seemed quite convincing, and Amber Xiu could only wave his hands helplessly: "Okay, then it's okay, you can go back."
The God of Alchemy gave Amber a look of contempt and then quickly disappeared.
Ai Ge's mouth opened slightly in surprise when the God of Alchemy appeared. Is this a god? He comes when he calls and goes away when he waves. Is this still a god?
She is a powerful figure in this Silent Night Sea. Even the Angry Tide Kingdom has to bow before her, and she is just a demigod.
How could a real god be so humble? But that divine power cannot be faked, this is a real god.
"You seem to have a good relationship with this God of Alchemy..." Ai Ge said tentatively.
"It's okay. This old man cheated me once before. I thought you were also cheated by him. Now it seems that I was wrong."
Amber thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong. The God of Alchemy said that he was not yet a god when Amber buried him. And the history of the ghost ship Aige is probably longer than that of Ryan, so the time doesn't match up.
These words left Ai Ge speechless. In all his years of life, this was the first time he had seen a god so easy to talk to.
As expected, the members of the Mourning Poets Society are all talents from the world of the dead.
Ai Ge gave up the idea of recruiting Amber Xiu and continued to ask, "Then do you have any way to help me restore his soul?"
Amber looked at the lifeless corpse again, pondered and said, "The wish can't restore his soul. There are probably three possibilities. First, his soul may not have dissipated at all. I don't know where he is living well, so the wish can't fulfill your request."
Ai Ge shook his head and said, "That's impossible. I am a pirate ship. When I became conscious, everyone on the ship had been killed and rotted in the sea. My creator is just a mortal, and his soul cannot be preserved after death."
"That's the second possibility. Some god has controlled his soul, making the wish ineffective. Does your father have faith?" Amber asked.
The most common situation is that the soul ascends to the kingdom of God. In that case, prayers cannot be used to rescue people from the kingdom of God, otherwise the gods will turn against them.
Ai Ge shook his head again and said, "He is not a devout believer. I am afraid he is not qualified to ascend to the Kingdom of God."
"How do you know it so clearly? Weren't you born after his death?" Amber asked curiously.
Ai Ge took out a thick booklet and handed it to Amber Xiu: "This is his diary. I know everything from his diary and the remaining logbook on the ship."
Amber opened the diary curiously and found it was full of shipbuilding records, starting from the sketch of the Aige and all the way to the voyage. The shipbuilder always called the ship his daughter in the diary, and it was obvious that he really had a deep affection for the pirate ship. He knew every piece of wood and every nail, and he took great care of the ship every time he maintained it.
However, he was very old, and after sailing on the ship for a few years, he felt that he would not live long.
On the last page of the diary, the shipbuilder wrote this sentence in a sloppy handwriting: "I will be buried in the deep sea, but my daughter can walk the Silent Sea for me. Aige, you will be the legend of the Silent Sea, and your name will be spread on the sea forever."
To some extent, his wish came true.
This ghost ship is indeed the most famous warship on the Silent Sea, but it is a pity that the shipbuilder is no longer with us.
Amber Xiu calmly read the diary and confirmed that Ai Ge's second statement was correct. The diary only contained the shipbuilder's deep feelings for the ship, and did not record many prayers to the gods, at most an occasional prayer for the gods to bless him.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This is definitely not a devout believer and should not be able to ascend to the Kingdom of God.
Since the soul still exists and it is not controlled by gods, it is strange that the wish can not revive it.
"Then there is only one possibility left. If your father's soul is resurrected, you will die. The most basic principle of the wish spell is that it will not cause the caster to die. No matter how outrageous the wish is, the laws of the world will only punish you, not kill you."
"What does this have to do with me? How can reviving a soul kill me?" Ai Ge expressed his incomprehension.
"It's indeed abnormal. I can't figure out the relationship, but there are only three reasons why a wish spell could fail. Maybe there are some details we haven't noticed."
Amber Xiu didn't know either. This really sounded unreasonable.
"Forget it. Actually, I don't have any hope." Ai Ge said calmly. After all, she has been through so many years and she has long been accustomed to repeated failures.
But An Boxiu had no intention of changing the subject. Instead, he said to her, "Captain Ai Ge, what I am going to say may be a little offensive. Please forgive me."
"Go ahead, don't be so nervous, we are all members of the Mourning Poetry Society."
"Well, I want to ask, is this shipbuilder really that important to you? As far as I know, a ghost ship is not like a lich, which requires a certain obsession to maintain its consciousness."
There are many types of undead, such as liches, which must have a strong desire to maintain their souls immortal and can be bound to the life box.
Vampires don't need that. They can eat and drink and have all kinds of feelings. They are no different from humans except that they are afraid of light.
Zombies don't need it either. As long as they are provided with flesh and blood regularly, they can survive. However, most zombies are stupid and have no IQ.
The same is true for the ghost ship. According to Amber's understanding of the undead, the ghost ship does not need a strong obsession like the lich. Moreover, Aige was born after the death of the shipbuilder, and he only knew this "father" by reading the diary. This layer of emotional separation will prevent the undead from being obsessed with him and using the wish to revive him.
This doesn't make sense.
Ai Ge listened, but said nonchalantly: "This question doesn't seem to make sense. We undead have eternal lives, so we always have to find something to do. Originally this was not my obsession, but after thinking about it for so many years, it has become an obsession."
Amber Xiu said helplessly: "That's right. If that's the case, then I'm afraid I can't help you. I might be able to fabricate a similar soul based on this diary, but that's not your father, just a fake substitute."
The fictitious soul can indeed be edited at will, and with enough details, he can create an "old father", but a fake is still a fake.
Ai Ge said in surprise: "You can also weave souls according to your needs?"
This ability is not simple, ordinary gods cannot do this.
"Yes, if you have any needs, you are welcome to order it. Members of the Mourning Poetry Society can get a discount."
Ambers is happy to have an additional sales channel.
"Then I really need to think about it carefully, but now let's go get that artifact first." Ai Ge said to Amber Xiu very seriously: "Are you ready to go to war with a kingdom directly?"
