Chapter 10 The Second Dream

 The dim, gray mist extends infinitely in all directions.

It is light-colored, as if the color has faded and there is no end in sight.

Rhodes stood in this dream that seemed to have lost its color, a little dazed.

"This...I'm back again?"

"So you don't need to go to a young lady for great health care?"

Regardless of his disappointment, Rhodes immediately became happy again.

If the way to enter the dream was so simple, he wouldn't have to worry about finding the truth.

Looking around, I soon saw the strange obelisk again.

But the evil ghost-like black shadow has long since disappeared, and the nagging pain has not returned.

This shows that change is real and dreams are continuous.

Rhodes felt a little happy.

The truth may be hidden in that obelisk.

He quickly ran over, and the dim mist and light dust passed by his side and feet. Everything here was filled with deathly silence.

Except for the obelisk.

It is green and full of vitality. The damage suffered last time has disappeared. Only a few tiny cracks on the monument remain and are healing very slowly.

Rhodes came to the monument, stretched out his hand, and touched it gently.

The surface of the monument once again became dark, and countless looming light spots like stars appeared again.

In the center is still the light spot emitting dark red light.

Its light is solid, flowing slowly like lava, and is much brighter than all points of light.

When Rhodes focused his eyes on it again, many incomprehensible words once again appeared in the light spot.

Rhodes suddenly had a realization in his heart.

Will it be "tinder"?

In the royal city, "fire" is a word with many meanings.

It is often used to refer to trialists and students who have unlimited possibilities.

It also generally refers to the buds of all hope and the dawn of the future.

At the same time, there is another important meaning.

That is the fire empowerer, also known as the fire holder of the "Spark" sequence, and the potential contained in his soul.

Every time a fire holder in the "Spark" sequence ignites a fire, he will gain an ability and strengthen his soul.

The simple criterion for measuring the strength of "Spark" combatants is the number of fire types.

According to Wayne, the average "spark" can only ignite three to four fires in a lifetime.

A few strong ones can ignite five to six.

After six, there are only a handful of them. They have always been the best in various fields.

But there was only one person who lit up the nineteen. He has become the most well-known legend in the royal city.

If this dark red light spot is a ignited fire...

Rhodes jumped up as if he had been pricked by a needle.

So, isn’t it understandable that the Archbishop’s strange partiality towards him is understandable?

Isn’t the test conducted by the Industrial Machinery Research Institute correct?

This dark red light spot must be the fire known as the "black rice bucket".

The strange text inside the light spot must mean "black rice bucket".

Rhodes looked up at these countless light spots, they were looming and almost invisible.

If this light spot can ignite.

Can all these light spots in the sky be ignited?

Suddenly, Rhodes felt a surge in his heart.

But he calmed down quickly.

He remembered clearly that the "black rice bucket" only really burned and became its current brightness after devouring the soul of a person named [Flowers on the Shore, Northern Prince Hegeor].

If we use the elimination method, this [Northern Prince Hegeor] is probably the black shadow that attacked him before.

After he killed it under the blessing of inexplicable golden light, he obtained its soul and burned it to the "black rice bucket".

If a soul is needed to ignite a fire, where can he find a new soul?

Moreover, doesn’t this method look very evil?

Rhodes suddenly and inexplicably thought of the destruction of the migration team and the strange patterns placed among the corpses.

Could that be some kind of soul sacrifice ceremony?

The murderer murdered the members of the relocation team and sacrificed their souls, thus obtaining some secret benefits.

Thinking of this, Rhode's heart suddenly went cold.

Did I really kill the person?

Am I the murderer?

"No, not necessarily."

Rhodes found it difficult to accept this inference.

"This is just my imagination, it may not be the case."

"There must be some clues that I haven't discovered yet."

Suddenly, Rhodes noticed a detail that he had not noticed before.

"This obelisk has four sides, will the other three sides be any different?"

He came to the other side of the obelisk and stretched out his hand to touch it gently.

Sure enough, new changes appeared.

The green stele surface was gradually dyed black, like ink dripping into water, and then quickly settling down.

The color of pure black gradually increases from the bottom, and the change stops about halfway.

Rhodes waited for a long time, but nothing changed, and he didn't get any information.

Rhodes didn't know why, so he had to come to the other side and reach out to touch again.

This time, the surface of the monument was dyed golden, and golden light penetrated from the inside of the monument and settled downward.

But just like before, when gold occupied one-fifth of the monument, the change stopped, and there was no more change.

Rhodes had no choice but to put down his hand, and the monument returned to normal.

He feels that these two sides are a bit like a thermometer, an indicator of something that already exists.

There is only one last side left of the obelisk.

Please, give me some useful information.

Rhodes stretched out his hand and pressed it on the monument.

The next moment, new changes really came out.

A line of blood snaked down from the top of the tower, forming dozens of strange characters on the monument.

They flickered slightly, as if they were some kind of strange warning, and seemed to be foreshadowing something.

But he didn't know every word.

Rhodes had never hated being illiterate as deeply as he did at this moment. He forcibly memorized the shape of each character, planning to go to Jinworth's library to find a way to decipher it as soon as he woke up.

After writing down the glyphs, Rhodes put down his hand, and the red characters gradually faded away.

There is nothing interesting to see in the obelisk anymore, and more information can only be learned after he finishes reading the illiteracy.

Rhodes glanced into the distance. The gray fog was boundless and endless.

Since you haven't woken up yet, just walk around for a while, maybe you'll find something new.

Rhodes walked outside and wandered casually in the gray mist world.

Anyway, as soon as you wake up, you will return to the real world, and you are not afraid of getting lost.

After walking for a while, suddenly, I felt a stab of pain on the back of my hand.

Rhodes looked down and saw that the strange eye pattern on the back of his right hand was burning, and the black lines that formed it were boiling, as if they were about to burst out of his body.

"What, what's going on?"

"Is my demon king's seal going to be released?"

Rhodes was a little panicked, but in the next moment, the eyes on the back of his hand shot out and turned into a large ball of black energy that fell to the ground.
