Teacher Miller looked very happy and said approvingly: "I knew you were a good boy."
Afterwards, she and Rhodes talked a lot about the special students and this cooperation with Kalil's secret force.
Only then did Rhodes realize that Wangcheng had always had many disagreements about the future path, and the current general direction was to expand outwards.
Only with more territory, more resources, more people, stronger warriors and force can we protect the sacred flame and pass on human civilization.
Although the process is painful, it must be experienced.
The ultimate outcome of shrinking defense must be destruction.
Under the general direction, there are countless branch choices.
There is never a shortage of smart and enlightened people in the royal city, and they have found various methods and means for this purpose.
Some are reliable, some are ridiculous, and some are cruel.
How to judge which roads are correct, which roads are wrong, and which roads are harmful is an eternal theme in the Supreme Council.
But as long as it is inherited and continued by mankind, it will be tolerated by the king.
Except for putting out fires and throwing yourself into darkness, everything is allowed.
This is the law of the new king.
In the past, Trorian was very harsh and had many taboos. Anyone whose soul characteristics were contrary to fire, such as water, darkness, cold, mind control, or devouring souls, would be directly burned to death.
If a person like Rhodes with black letters in his Fire name appeared in the Royal City twenty years ago, he would only be thrown into the secret experimental base under Stone City.
"The Inhuman Voice of Khalil".
Just like where there is fire, there is shadow. In addition to the power of fire, Trorian also has powers other than fire.
In its long history, Trorian has encountered many crises of destruction. Before life and death, he could no longer care about anything. In order to seek more power, the king at that time set his sights beyond the fire.
The specific process is unknown due to the catastrophe in 708. Many scholars only know that after that, the secret experimental base "Kalil's Inhuman Voice" located underground in Stone City was established.
In the same year, "Khalil's Secret Force" formed by "Khalil's Inhuman Voice" was born.
It became the shadow beneath the light, the supplementary force behind the Trorian Legion of Firebearers.
"Kalil's Inhuman Voice" is Kingworth College in the shadows.
But it is far more cruel than Kingworth College.
Because it violates the belief in fire and is completely contrary to the worldview of most "citizens of fire", its existence is classified as top secret by the royal city, and only those with relevant permissions can know about it.
Rhodes can now know because his name is listed on the list of members of "Jinworth's Secret Force Experimental Branch".
This is a project jointly conducted by Kingworth Academy and Kalil's Inhuman Voice, aiming to quickly cultivate a group of mature, powerful warriors who can stand alone.
It is a helpless move.
For many years, Jinworth College has adhered to the training plan of the chief dean, always aiming at comprehensive and complete development, and has always opposed training students in the form of making weapons.
It is slow in effect and expensive. Students need to study for up to four years to thoroughly understand the history, culture, tactics and strategies, the kingdom's situation, medicines and potions, monster types, etc., before they can go to the battlefield after graduation.
There are always people in the Supreme Council who think this is unnecessary.
Students who are not very talented only need to quickly learn combat-related skills, and then they can go on the battlefield.
It not only saves expenses, but also shortens the cycle, and can quickly make up for the shortage of combatants in each legion.
However, His Excellency Theodore, the President, is extremely senior and has made countless brilliant achievements. He is powerful and has a high prestige.
Out of trust and respect for him, the college has been able to persevere.
"People are not weapons, people have countless possible miracles." This is the philosophy of Lord Theodore, and it is also the motto believed by all the teachers and instructors at Kingworth College.
It has indeed created countless miracles, allowing many ordinary people to finally shine with dazzling brilliance.
However, with the development of Star City and the coming disaster, the external pressure on the Royal City has increased sharply, and the weapons argument has reared its head again.
After many arguments, the two sides finally reached a compromise.
The Inhuman Voice of Khalil, who has always grown rapidly, is extremely precocious, and has strong combat effectiveness, cooperates with Jinworth Academy to form a "Ginworth Secret Force Experimental Branch".
Jinvos selects a group of students who are suitable for growing up in battle, and instructors from both sides are sent to jointly formulate a training plan to train them into powerful combatants as soon as possible to share the defense pressure on Trorian.
"Kingworth's Secret Force Experimental Branch" has been officially included in the order of battle.
Soon, they will go into battle like a regular army.
"We have divided an area in the east of the Heidler training ground as the base of the experimental branch."
Teacher Miller told him.
"Starting from tomorrow, you will spend most of your time in the base. After completing the combat training, you will leave the royal city. Therefore, you must make all preparations as soon as possible."
Rhodes was inexplicably nervous, and it sounded like he was serious about it, but he had no choice but to go back on his word at this time, so he had to take out the whistle:
"Teacher Miller, its energy is used up. Can you please help me, the Chief Dean, refill it?"
Teacher Miller showed a little smile:
"His Excellency, the Chief Dean is out, but he specifically asked me to do this."
She took out a bottle from her arms, which contained a shallow layer of fluorescent silver liquid.
"This is his spirituality. Oh, you may not know what spirituality is. It is the blood of the soul, has unimaginable spiritual power, and is the purest spiritual material...especially His Excellency Theodore. Only he can
Take your spirituality out and store it like this."
Rhodes looked at the bottle of silver liquid in surprise:
"Isn't spirituality a translucent solid state?"
Teacher Miller praised: "Yes, it seems that the rumor that there is a special black rice bucket seat in the library is true. What is solidified is the spirituality that has lost its soul, just like dried blood. And this is the original spirituality, in addition to being a
In addition to being precious materials, they also have special functions."
She carefully poured the silver liquid onto the whistle.
"For example, restoring the power of soul creation."
The silver liquid is absorbed by the whistle, and it no longer looks dull, but full of luster.
Big brother is back again.
Rhodes happily took the whistle back.
With it, at least there will be some security.
Rhodes asked again: "My characteristic test is over, can I apply for the material quota of Sunstone?"
Teacher Miller shook his head slightly:
"No, there is no connection between your sewer characteristics and the Sun Stone. It is impossible for the Logistics Department to approve it. However, you are now a special-level student. In addition to your weekly salary of 630 silver cords, you can also be independent.
Choose the supplies and medicines you need. In addition, you also have the qualifications to apply for the preparation of elixirs and weapons."
"If you particularly need sun stones, you can choose it. With your salary, you can receive five of them every week."
"Okay."
Rhodes agreed almost immediately.
Five pills a week may not seem like much, but the water flows steadily.
This is a good thing.
"To prepare the elixir, you need to provide your own materials. Wangcheng will find a professional alchemist to prepare it for you. I will give you a brief list. Although there is no limit on the number of times, I suggest you not to occupy this resource too much. The frontline
Combatants are in great need of elixirs, which are life-saving materials."
Rhodes nodded. He didn't care about elixirs or anything like that. Is there any medicine that can bring the dead back to life? Is there a thirty-second invincibility medicine?
"The same goes for weapons. You need to provide materials. The weapons master will make a special trip to forge weapons for you according to your needs. There is only one chance. I suggest you stay in the future."
Rhodes nodded. At least for now, he doesn't plan to change weapons. The "Raven" is equipped with spirit-sealing bullets, which is very handy.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Meet at the Hedler training ground at noon tomorrow. Don't be nervous. I'm also one of the teachers in charge of the base."
Teacher Miller stood up and sent Rhodes back.
In the remaining time, Rhodes went to the largest market in the inner city for a huge purchase.
He spent 30,000 silver cords in one breath and bought all the supplies he thought he might need.
Rhodes now has more than 58,000 silver cords on his body, which can fully support him.
Later, he went back to the dreamland and asked the Book of Knowledge for information about the "Puppet Wood", "Resurrection Stone", "Living Flesh" and other items.
This is knowledge outside of dreams. The price for the Book of Knowledge is outrageous, requiring 90,000 red stones.
Red stone is a common material, generally used to make urns or urn bags. One silver cord can buy about ten pieces, and ninety thousand pieces equals nine thousand silver cords.
With Rhode's current net worth, it is affordable.
However, let alone whether the merchant has so much inventory, even if it is purchased, how will it be transported to the dreamland?
The combined left and right hands can only hold two at a time, and he has to transport them back and forth forty-five thousand times.
Rhodes couldn't transport his soul even if he blew it up.
What to do?
Rhodes thought for a moment, then had an idea and asked another question: "Who is the merchant selling the Puppet Wood in the market?"
Strictly speaking, this does not seem to be knowledge.
But the book of knowledge shook, and the pattern on the cover formed a line of words:
"A brilliant stone weighing more than seven grams."
Rhodes was delighted, there was something exciting!
Seven grams of radiance stone is very cheap, only 500 silver cords.
Rod soon bought it in a gem store.
After inserting this finger-sized radiant stone into the patterned mouth of the Book of Knowledge, the pages of the book automatically opened to reveal a line of text.
"The profiteers cut off their teeth."
Rhodes immediately left the dreamland and quickly found out the location of the profiteer's broken tooth.
He is in the easternmost corner of the market.
This is a very dilapidated small workshop, which is different from the clean and tidy streets around it.
The profiteer Broken Tooth is a yellow-faced man with sinister features and evil eyes. When he heard that Rhodes wanted the "Puppet Wood", a very wretched smile appeared on his face.
"One cord of five thousand silver."
In the dusty storefront, he lay on a rocking chair, crossed his legs, and stretched out his five yellowed fingers towards Rhodes.
Rhodes frowned, the price was obviously too expensive.
"Can it be cheaper?"
The profiteer Duanya chuckled and said: "It's cheap enough. These are all good quality goods. They can last for at least ten days. For ten days, you can play with them as you like."
"What do you mean?"
The profiteer Broken Ya smiled and said: "Stop pretending. Apart from channeling spirits and holding ghost rituals, the Puppet Wood only has the function of mind control. Everyone knows what you want to do. Hehehe, five thousand silver cords can buy ten
Isn’t it expensive to have such a wonderful time?”
Rhodes had a bad feeling in his heart. This thing seemed to be worse than imagined. He wouldn't get into any trouble, would he?
Seeing his silent expression, profiteer Duan Ya was surprised and said, "Do you want to do something else?"
Rhodes thought that he didn't have many trump cards now, so he gritted his teeth and said: "I bought it! Give me four!"
But the profiteer Broken Tooth refused to trade with him, stood up and drove him away.
"I'm not selling it anymore, no, no, I don't have this thing here, you can go, I was joking with you just now."
Rhodes persuaded him that he just wanted to hold a multi-person sports event and promised not to cause trouble.
The profiteer broke his teeth and sighed: "Okay, but I'm warning you, you'd better not choose people from Jinworth College, and don't use them in the college, otherwise you will not only be expelled, but also be arrested and sent to internal affairs
Judgment Court, I will also be unlucky."
He seemed to have acquiesced that Rhodes was a student of Jinworth College.
Rhodes heartbrokenly counted twenty banknotes with the largest denomination and handed them over.
The profiteer Broken Tooth took out four burnt pieces of wood, each of which was only about two fingers wide and one finger long.
"Excellent quality, absolutely authentic. If you have any questions, please contact me."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Rhodes put away the wood, turned to the corner as soon as he went out, held the wood and entered the dreamland.
He placed the wood on the stone platform one by one, and after confirming that the spiritual material in the [Wooden Puppet] was completely lit up and there was no abnormality, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The profiteers are quite honest, so there is probably something wrong with the price.
Five thousand silver cords are too expensive.
Rhodes has no choice now. In order to add a few trump cards, he can only spend this money.
After leaving the dreamland, he took a look at the workshop and thought that when I came back, he would carefully investigate the price of this product.
If I find you cheating on me.
Hum hum.
Finally, Rhodes came to a clothing store and asked the store owner for a piece of clothing that "the sleeves can be buttoned up and the hands can be completely covered when the hands are put together."
The boss had never seen such a weird request before and said it could be customized, but it would take ten days.
After being slapped in the face by Rhodes with banknotes, the time was shortened from ten days to one hour.
Although it cost another five hundred silver ropes, it was still worth it to see a dozen tailors tying up a robe.
The boss who had done a lot of business was all smiles, and he wished he could lie on the ground and serve Rhodes.
Rod tried on his new robe and it fit perfectly.
It has very wide and special long sleeves. When Rhodes pinches out the lightning symbol, he can button the sleeves from the inside.
Not only could others not see his gestures, but they also couldn't pull his sleeves apart, and he would wake up if he pulled hard.
In this way, he can enter and exit the dreamland at any time regardless of the occasion.
The robe is also very wide, which is very suitable for hiding things inside. Others will not be surprised that Rhodes suddenly took something out of his sleeves or that something disappeared in his sleeves.
Rhodes was very satisfied and left the clothing store amidst a series of "Come again next time" from the boss.
This big purchase almost drained Rhodes' economy.
The wallet that had just become rich was deflated again, and the huge amount of nearly 60,000 yuan was reduced to only 7,000 silver cords in an instant.
But the harvest was also full, and the purchased items were piled up into a small mountain in the dream.
Having made all the preparations he could, Rhodes began to look forward to the upcoming test.
