Amon wore a seemingly sincere smile on his face, polite but not obsequious, and asked, "Excuse me, is this adult a Soul Hall Protector?"
"Kid, you have some insight. In this remote corner, not many people know about my Soul Hall."
"The great name of the Soul Hall resonates like thunder. I have admired your organization for a long time. May I have the honor of joining?" Amon asked.
"Join my Soul Hall? You?" This Soul Hall Protector sized Amon up and down a few times, then shook his head:
"You're overestimating yourself, kid. As a Dou Ancestor, I am merely a low-level 'Human Protector' in the Soul Hall. To join the Soul Hall, one must at least have the strength of a Dou Emperor, and have a high probability of becoming a Dou Ancestor. A mere Dou King like you is not qualified."
"Then can I work for you first, sir? As a temporary worker. Once I'm qualified, you can recommend me to join." Amon's smile remained unchanged.
"Work for me? Do you know what the goal of my Soul Hall is?" The Soul Hall Protector asked.
Amon shook his head, "How could I know that? But I heard that our Soul Hall captures souls everywhere, so I assume you, sir, must have a certain quota of tasks. Why not take me in? I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse."
I haven't even agreed yet, and you're already using "our Soul Hall"... The Protector muttered to himself.
He developed a certain interest in this overly familiar little Dou King and chuckled, "You mean, you'll collect souls for me?"
"Yes, that doesn't seem to be a difficult task. I am confident I can complete it." Amon smiled confidently.
Not a difficult task? If it wasn't difficult, I wouldn't have to run myself ragged every year...
"Heh, this job isn't that easy. To collect souls, I have to travel to many places every year."
Amon's face showed confusion, "To collect souls, isn't it just a matter of killing people? If one town isn't enough, then a city; if one city isn't enough, then a country."
Seeing him speak words that made even himself feel a chill down his spine in the most innocent tone, the Soul Hall Protector's face twitched. This kid... definitely has a serious problem!
The Protectors naturally understood such simple and straightforward principles, but no one would do that.
Currently, collecting the souls of the dead and hunting down some strong individuals with not too many ties, although still disliked, could only be tolerated due to the great power of the Soul Hall.
But this does not mean that the Soul Hall can recklessly challenge the bottom lines of all forces.
If they really did as Amon suggested, the Soul Hall would probably become the public enemy of the entire continent, attacked by everyone.
Additionally, because too many targets would be involved, it could very likely draw out some Old freak. The Soul Hall couldn't afford to provoke them, but killing a small Protector was still feasible.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, even people from the Soul Hall would not engage in widespread massacres.
"Uh... you're too extreme. Although people from our Soul Hall are not good people, we are not that deranged."
The Soul Hall Protector tried to correct Amon's thinking, to make him a little more normal.
Unexpectedly, Amon "tch" and gave him a slightly disdainful look.
The Soul Hall Protector's forehead twitched, and his voice became slightly cold: "To collect souls, you must first learn the Soul Capturing Secret Art. After capturing souls, you also need a special soul bag for storage.
"The Soul Capturing Secret Art is worth two Dou Emperor souls. You are allowed to gradually repay this while working for me in the future. After all, it is necessary for the work.
"However, you must pay the corresponding price for the soul bag. One soul bag is worth the soul of a Dou Emperor. Are you prepared to pay this price?"
Although Amon had just advanced to Dou Emperor, his spirit power was exceptionally strong, having reached the peak of the Mortal Realm and almost touching the threshold of the Spirit Realm. His main body's "volume" would be larger than that of a normal one-star Dou Emperor.
The clone's volume can reach a maximum of one-tenth of the main body's and cannot reach the Dou Emperor level, but the soul is different. A Worm of Spirit that has abandoned its body and is completely specialized in soul is even stronger than most ordinary one-star Dou Huangs.
This price was negligible for Amon, but he couldn't immediately pull out a Worm of Spirit to pay, so he could only feign a pained expression, gently stroking his space ring and taking out a sixth-tier magic core.
This was originally Yun Shan's collection, which Amon took for his own use. When going out, one always needs to have some money ready.
"I don't have a Dou Emperor's soul right now. Can this work?"
"Oh, a sixth-tier magic core, not bad... Since you can pay this price, I'll reluctantly take you in."
A sixth-tier magic core was nothing to him, a Dou Ancestor expert, but for a Dou King to be able to produce such a thing, it was enough to prove that this Dou King was no simple character.
Amon flicked his right hand, tossing the magic core to the Protector, then respectfully said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Protector. May I know how to address you?"
"Hehe, just call me Xiao Protector... Here, this is my spare soul bag." Xiao Protector threw a small black bag to Amon.
Amon took the soul bag, examined it, not hiding his curiosity. The soul bag felt cool to the touch, somewhat similar to silk, and its appearance was plain and unadorned, looking like an ordinary bag, but spirit power could not scan it.
Xiao Protector then reminded, "You must keep it safe. This soul bag is the foundation of our Soul Hall members. If it is damaged and leads to an unfulfilled quota, the consequences will be severe.
"In addition, this item is also our Soul Hall's token. If you encounter another Protector, showing this will reduce the chance of them attacking you.
"The capacity of the soul bag has an upper limit. The one you have can store souls equivalent to about two Dou Zongs at most. However, you probably won't have the chance to fill it up."
"I understand." Amon nodded.
Xiao Protector formed a seal with both hands, and a profound and complex mark appeared in mid-air.
"Go."
The black pattern transformed into a black light that submerged into Amon's chest, forming a light black, complex pattern on his chest.
"Hehe, this is my mark, which has a positioning function. Also, it is your protection. If another Protector senses your mark and still attacks you, it is a provocation to me. This is more effective than the self-identification of the soul bag."
Xiao Protector paused, then continued, "The scrolls for the Soul Capturing Secret Art are all one-time use and need to be exchanged at a branch hall. I don't have one on hand. Where will you be in about a month, kid? I'll send it to you."
"Near Jia Nan Academy... Peace Town." Amon replied.
Upon hearing this location, Xiao Protector frowned, clearly having some reservations about Jia Nan Academy.
He said, "Then let's make it Black Wind City. It's not far from Peace Town. We'll meet in Black Wind City in a month."
"Thank you, Protector."
"Hehe, I hope you can give me a surprise. If you can't satisfy me after I've spent so much effort, you know the consequences." Xiao Protector let out a sinister laugh.
"Of course." Amon nodded lightly.
