Chapter 82 The King of Sewers

In the next few days, Rhodes spent time in the sewer.

He made a special trip to the Iron Cross neighborhood in the outer city and found a tavern to stay here.

In the Royal City, every block will have at least one square, a tavern, and a church, which serve as a place for people to gather and relax.

The tavern is also the only place that provides accommodation.

This tavern is located near the Defense Department of the Iron Cross District, and its defense chief Scarface is an official whom Rhodes is familiar with.

He has a very good impression of Rhodes, and Rhodes' plan is to find various opportunities to hunt monsters with him.

In addition, he is familiar with the sewers in the Iron Cross neighborhood. It is also very far from the sewers in the inner city, and those terrifying spiders will not come here.

Big Scarface welcomed Rhodes' arrival, and was also very resentful of what happened to Rhodes.

After finishing the plague monster hunting mission, he specially submitted a commendation report, but not only did the expected praise not come, but he received a huge criticism and a punishment.

The Internal Affairs Tribunal believed that he violated military laws and dereliction of duty by hiring people without combat qualifications to participate in dangerous hunting missions.

The Royal City Army War Department had to give him a verbal warning and cancel the additional rewards.

Scarface and his good friend Keith were so angry that they burst into the military headquarters, overturned the tables, and almost beat the adjudicator who came to hold a war meeting.

But even so, it does not change the fait accompli.

General Defense Minister Musso promised to give them an explanation and let them go back first.

Scarface could only return to the Defense Department of Iron Cross Block angrily.

The recent defense tasks have been very heavy. Although the cadets assigned to him by the military war department are all staying students, the defense is still stretched. He has been dispatched nine times in a row, but there are still 20 cadets seriously injured, and one person suffered an insurmountable injury.

Undoing the damage.

Big Scarface called hundreds of people to report, but there was no response from all of them.

There is no shortage of people in the Royal City. The original defenders, guards, and fire keepers have all gone to support the front line. The main defense force of the Royal City now is the more than 20,000 teachers and students of Jinworth College.

As the weather worsened, monster activities became more frequent, and the pressure on defense increased sharply. News of the casualties of teachers and students came from various places, and doomsday cultists began to prepare for action, poisoning, extinguishing lights, and extinguishing fires.

In the Iron Cross neighborhood, unknown disturbances occurred in the sewers. Monsters continued to spread from the depths upwards, eventually forcing the Outer City Defense Department to form an elite combat group to clean the sewers.

It was precisely because of this operation that the subsequent mission of hunting the plague demon was launched.

The only good thing is that it was a near miss and no one or residents died.

Afterwards, according to a joint investigation by the Jinworth Society and the Ash Digger School, it was believed that there was some kind of deep spiritual disturbance in the sewers, which disturbed the balance in the depths of darkness, causing the originally stable monster group to change and be squeezed.

The monsters that come out can only move to new places.

This resulted in a large number of monsters coming to the upper level.

As for why such disturbances in the spiritual world occurred, scholars have no conclusion and can only think that it is some kind of accidental event.

Although the elite battle group has cleared a large part of the area, the disturbance of the balance has not ended, and some sporadic monsters still appear.

Scholars believe that the disturbance may last one to two months before a new equilibrium point is found and calms down.

Because of this, the defense of the sewers has become a heavy burden, weighing on Big Scarface, making him very anxious.

At this time, Rhodes' arrival made him feel as if he had seen the legendary angel. The scar on his face was smiling so much that he wanted to hold him and kiss him fiercely.

Of course, Rhodes rejected this infuriating behavior.

He told Big Scarface that he had become a secret fighter for special students, obtained combat qualifications, and could participate in defense operations.

But Scarface doesn’t care at all.

Even if Rhodes had nothing, he was determined to accept him.

A few punishments are nothing, compared with the lives of the soldiers and the safety of the residents? So what if I lose my official position? I can kill these harmful insects just like I join the hunting group.

Therefore, he listed the defense of all sewers as an open task and hired the free fighter Rhodes to complete it.

In this way, every time you complete an item, you can accumulate merit and honor for Rhodes, which will be of great benefit to Rhodes in the future to improve his combat level, select high-level personnel titles, obtain rare resources, etc.

He originally wanted to allocate a few combat personnel to Rhodes, but the manpower in the Iron Cross Block was too tight. Anyone with a hint of combat ability went to fight. All logistics, medical, supply, chores, clerical and other work were all done.

It’s all borne by ordinary people.

There is only one combatant in the entire Defense Department, Big Scarface. He is the last trump card. When any patrol member encounters a problem that even the watchman cannot solve, he will appear.

This is the last hope for frontline personnel when they are in danger.

He can only sit in the Defense Department and cannot go there.

However, to his great surprise, a few days later, Rhodes handed over all the tasks of the iron cross block sewer, and provided a large amount of ashes, monster ashes and task images as evidence as required.

The scarred face was so shocked that the scar on his face almost fell off.

According to the mission description and the detection of the ashes, this too-young combatant not only destroyed a large number of unleveled monsters, but also eliminated primary-level and even intermediate-level monsters.

You must know that the combat effectiveness of mid-level monsters has already been formed. If their attributes are incompatible, even eighth-level combatants may not be able to deal with them.

And he is still a reserve!

No wonder the sewers have been quiet and peaceful these past few days.

Scarface thought it was good luck, but he didn't expect that someone was carrying a heavy load and moving forward.

Rhodes' explanation for this was to reveal his special student badge.

Big Scarface believed him, and even when he asked if there was any monetary reward, he gritted his teeth and gave him all his salary.

This is a task within the system and is rarely paid.

But Scarface doesn’t matter, his soul has been set, there is no hope of promotion, he is ugly, and he has no wife, so what’s the use of asking for money?

Guarding this neighborhood, protecting his fellow warriors, and seeing new hope for mankind rise are his greatest wishes.

The young man in front of me is so young and so outstanding. He will definitely become a rising star in the future, bringing new hope to all those who are still fighting in the darkness.

If you can help him, what’s money?

Of course.

Rhodes didn't know this.

After visiting the sewers for the past few days, he was really poor.

His fighting method is all about throwing money. Whether it's real silver bullets, spirit-sealing bullets, thunder stones, or potions, they all require money.

The unleveled monsters are okay, you can use True Silver Bullets or Thunder Stones to deal with them, and you can replenish them with one "Soul Crit" at most.

Level monsters must use spirit-sealing bullets. Rhodes almost died because he wanted to save money.

The spirit-sealing bullets are too expensive.

For every ten soul-sealing bullets, you need ten true silver bullets, one part of humanity, three parts of spirituality, and one gram of star ruby ​​powder.

A true silver bullet costs seven silver cords per gram, and star ruby ​​powder costs three hundred silver cords per gram.

Not counting humanity and spirituality, each stone is thirty-seven silver cords on average, which is seven silver cords more expensive than the thunder stone. It is like a gold-swallowing beast.

After several days of fighting, Rhodes had emptied all his supplies, spent his last piece of silver, and almost had no money to pay for the room. Fortunately, the tavern proprietress agreed to postpone it for two days because of his handsome voice and sweet voice.

Pay.

After handing in the task, Scarface gave him nine hundred silver cords.

This literally saved his life.

He immediately bought two grams of star ruby ​​powder, thirty real silver bullets, and some necessary supplies, and then paid off the money he owed.

I don’t know why, but when Rod paid back the money, the landlady looked quite disappointed.

Rhodes didn't care, returned to the house, and entered the dreamland.

Although he consumed a lot, he gained a lot during this period.

Rhodes touched the soul side of the obelisk, and his message appeared at the top.

Soul strength: 117

Soul Star:2

Humanity:472

Divinity:45

Soulless Soul:6322

Possessed souls: [Mad Sinner’s Soul] thirty-six, [Filthy Evil Corpse’s Soul] thirty-seven, [Maggot Man’s Soul] twenty-two, [Corpse Fly’s Soul] fourteen, [Undead Hound’s]

Soul] One, [Soul of the Deformed Demon Spider] Five.

——

All the soul dust and soul fragments were sacrificed by him, and he gained a large amount of soulless souls and spirituality.

"Spirit" is also a very important material. It is a component of the spirit, also known as the blood of the spirit. It has very magical functions, but it is easily corrupted and can only be stored in the "storage place" under the stone platform.

Due to the sacrifice of too many soul fragments, Rhodes has no shortage of "spiritual" materials.
