Before returning to the base, Rhodes first went to No. 17 Gray Street to find Yao Po. She finally came back and paid for the fifty Puppet Woods she had ordered previously.
Rhodes felt relieved now. [Wooden Puppet] now only lacks the spirit to live.
This thing can only be found in the souls of living people. Of course Rhodes cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately, but since the last black priest incident, most of the doomsday cultists have gone into hiding and are not so easy to find.
Rhode held it and tried to ask the medicine lady.
She actually has it, and the price is not expensive, only ten silver coins per copy, and the quantity is huge.
Rhodes refrained from asking where it came from and bought a thousand copies in one go.
The medicine lady pulled out a box from under the dusty counter and opened it. Inside the box, which was filled with auras, there were all translucent and wriggling spirits, like a bunch of unknown parasites.
The medicine woman carefully weighed out a thousand portions with a scale and handed them to Rhodes.
This spirituality extracted from the souls of hundreds of people is actually only a small ball, which cannot even be filled in a fist.
Rhodes took the spirit, turned around, and put his hands in his sleeves.
When I turned around and came back, the living spirit had been sent into the dreamland.
"Another fifty puppet trees."
A wooden puppet and ten pieces of living spirituality can be used to create a [wooden puppet]. Rhodes might as well collect the materials for a hundred of them.
There is no expression on Yao Po's wrinkled face.
"Okay, I'll pick it up in an hour."
"Why is it so fast this time?"
"The materials are all here."
An hour later, Yao Po handed fifty pieces of puppet wood to Rhodes on time.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate. I will come to you often in the future. Can I get a discount for old customers?"
Yao Po said expressionlessly: "No."
"Mother-in-law, don't be so ruthless and be more flexible in your business. Don't you want to maintain a big customer like me for a long time?"
"Don't want to."
"Well, you don't want to lose such an honest and honest big customer like me... Ahem, I'll give you a 10% discount, and that's it."
Yao Po looked at him expressionlessly.
Although he didn't agree, he still accepted the discounted payment of 22,500 silver cords.
"Haha, my body is quite honest... Ahem, um, mother-in-law, do you know a hunter named Mephis?"
"I don't know."
"Don't you know? A'duo said that all the hunters in her hunter's tavern have come to buy things from you."
The medicine woman said coldly: "Keeping secrets for customers is the principle of our industry."
"...Let's do this, I'll give you a thousand silver cords, and you make an exception."
"No."
But the medicine woman’s hand took the money.
"...Do you know where Mavis lives?"
"I don't know."
"Do you have her contact information?"
"No."
"She likes to drink marigold plum wine and lemon jam the most. Is it true?"
Yao Po's cloudy eyes suddenly looked at him and asked warily: "What do you want to do?"
"I want her to be my partner, mother-in-law, I don't know if you are a fire bearer or if you understand our fighting system, but I tell you clearly that we are a match made in heaven, and no one is more suitable than us.
Teammates, our power together has far exceeded one plus one, reaching the level of one times one..."
"Isn't that still one?" Yao Po pointed out keenly.
"You don't understand mathematics, don't interrupt. In short, without her, I am like a wolf without her. She without me is like a flower without its core, which is incomplete. Only when we are together can we learn from each other's strengths and make up for our shortcomings."
..."
The medicine woman said coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't see that you are suitable here. Mavis is also an old client of mine. She can complete many tasks by herself without your cooperation... If something happens to her, the internal affairs will make a decision
The police will find me here. I don’t want to cause trouble, so you can leave.”
Rhodes smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, you don't know Mavis well enough. It seems that she is also a vain woman who likes to distort facts and invent history to flatter herself. But this is normal. No woman does not love vanity. I
Let me tell you the truth... A few days ago, we encountered seven abyss monsters during a mission. She was so frightened that she turned pale and got into my arms..."
Rhodes artistically processed the experience of the last mission, highlighting his bravery, domineering pride, broad mind, superb combat skills and perfect response to the enemy.
If it weren't for one, two, three, four, five, six or seven reasons, he would have killed them all in one go.
Mephis huddled in his arms the whole time. The two flirted and flirted while fighting powerful vicious monsters. The twisted and terrifying monsters and dangerous battles became the background for their romance.
While performing classic scenes from various romance stories, he danced with the monsters. Then when the atmosphere reached its climax, he kissed goodbye, and an infinitesimal universe exploded, killing the monsters instantly.
Rhodes thought he had performed perfectly, but when he looked up, he saw that the wrinkles on Yao Po's face were all squeezed together.
"I'm sorry, I don't see where you are suitable. If you don't want to buy anything, just leave."
"Hey, don't you see? As a team, we can hunt monsters more efficiently and create a better living environment for the people of Trolian..."
Yao Po's tone became bored.
"Don't you just want to get her? Don't you just want her to be a plaything on your bed? You bought so many puppet trees, who knows which ones you will use to control her and satisfy your perverted desires, you men
You are always full of obscene thoughts, but you still have to find a noble reason to cover it up. Leave quickly! Otherwise, I will ask the people from the Internal Affairs Tribunal to arrest you!"
"You are slandering..."
But Yao Po no longer listened to his explanation and forcibly kicked him out.
With a bang, the door closed in front of the nose.
Rhodes scratched his head, feeling that unless he took out the [Wooden Puppet] to show her, it would be difficult to clear up this misunderstanding.
It's really troublesome that the Puppet Wood actually has properties like ecstasy water and hallucinogens.
What's even more troublesome is Yao Po. He also didn't expect that a producer from a black workshop would have such a bottom line that he would dare to report him to the Internal Affairs Judgment Office.
Isn’t this the same as someone who operates without a license and reports smuggling and then sells the stolen goods to him?
Injure the enemy eight hundred and injure yourself a thousand.
Forget it.
Let’s think of other ways.
Rhodes could only leave Yao Po's black workshop and return to the secret base.
——
The first two days in the secret base were the same as before, training, studying, and making up lessons.
It's just that the overall improvement brought about by Rhodes' greatly improved soul strength has refreshed many people's perceptions.
Teresa praised: "Your spiritual power has increased very quickly, and I have some feelings now."
Since he took off his disguise, Rhodes suddenly became a lot younger. After all, he was only sixteen years old and his height was only a size seven.
And Teresa is already in her twenties. Not for some special reason, and her strength is still in the stage of rapid growth. She has already graduated from the academy, but her current status is also a student of special students.
The combination of these two identities representing strong men represents a more powerful fire bearer with infinite talents.
Coupled with the "strong" logo members in the secret branch, her strength has exceeded the sky.
Teresa is tall and has a mature temperament. She fits the role of a big sister in every aspect, even the way she holds him down.
"Get up! Your armor is cold and hard, it's hitting me!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, little Rod, I always forget that you are still a newbie, does it hurt?"
Rhodes slapped her hand away and snorted: "Don't be proud, I will surpass you soon."
Teresa smiled and said: "Really? That's great."
"Haha, don't forget our agreement, you must change your name to call me big brother from now on."
"Of course, Valkyrie will not forget her promise, little Rhodes."
Rhodes curled his lips. Of course he could hear the tone of a big sister trying to coax her little brother.
Even if you don’t believe it now, fine, I’ll let you call me from morning till night in the future, hum.
"Okay, let's train three tactical moves next, Weiss's spin, Theodore's smash, and four ways to get up."
In the training ground, Rhodes' wailing sounded again.
Many elders who had completed training were watching and cheering for him.
This is a rare leisure time in a day.
A group of beautiful older sisters also gathered around, watching and whispering.
"Wow, look at little Rod's waist. It's toned and masculine, with smooth lines. It's quite masculine."
"The abdominal muscles are well-proportioned, flexible and full, with inherent strength, toned and beautiful, and have strong sprinting power when exploded."
"Sister Jessica, your saliva is flowing out..."
"Teresa, this damn woman, is so lucky. I'm not weaker than her, so why can't I be an instructor?"
"Why don't you try releasing your magic power? Teresa can make you unable to stand up with just one finger."
"Wow...Sister Lisa, your words are so charming."
The beautiful big sisters sometimes fight and sometimes snicker, like waving flower branches and clusters of flowers, shimmering and competing for beauty, which makes many people’s eyes go straight.
Teresa also knew that Rod was working very hard. In order to attract more big sisters to watch, she tore apart Rod's coat bit by bit during training, revealing his well-proportioned and fit figure.
"Okay, okay, that's enough! If you keep doing this, I can do push-ups without using my hands."
Teresa asked in surprise: "Can your spiritual power be released?"
Rhodes glanced at her speechlessly, closed his mouth, and concentrated on training.
From these trainings, he has truly felt the benefits, and his actual combat capabilities are rapidly increasing with the training.
What made Rhodes even more happy was that during the evening foreign language tutoring, Professor Binns thought that his foundation was solid enough and taught him the core language cracking rules he invented.
After mastering this rule, many language problems suddenly became clear, and Rhodes' level of ancient Chinese immediately reached a big level.
In his dream before going to bed, he deciphered a long key content in the Book of Knowledge, and knew how to identify the size and ability of a star in a state of exhaustion.
More importantly, there is now a type of question for which he can get answers from the Book of Knowledge.
"Which star is most suitable for me now?"
After paying one hundred rubies, the Book of Knowledge gave the answer.
【Sense of God】
【Elegy of the Soul】
Rhodes quickly found these two ashes in the Soul Wilderness. Through the methods obtained from the Book of Knowledge, he learned the specific uses of these two stars.
[Sense of God] can greatly improve spiritual induction, allowing him to continuously understand the essence and gain inspiration during the learning process.
[Elegy of the Spirit] can greatly enhance spiritual energy, and its star energy effect is to enhance spiritual energy.
Sure enough.
These are the things that Rhodes lacks most right now - psychic strength and combat skills.
There is nothing more suitable for him than these two stars.
But unfortunately, the ignition conditions for these two stars are very high.
To ignite [Sense of God] requires [3 copies of source soul, soulless soul, and 1500 copies of spirituality]
To ignite [Elegy of the Spirit], you need [3 copies of source soul, soulless soul, and 1000 copies of spirituality]
[Soul of the Source] is a special soul containing the Source. Rhodes doesn’t even have one now, where are the three?
Moreover, they require a lot of soulless souls, and Rhodes' current stock is far from enough.
Only spirituality barely meets the standard.
Rhodes then asked the Book of Knowledge, what exactly is a special soul? Where is it?
But answering these questions requires tens of thousands of rubies.
Rub, it’s really poisonous.
I'll ask the teacher tomorrow.
Sure enough, the teachers in the "top class" lived up to Rhodes' expectations.
Guardian Lilivi told him that in the three-layer structure of the world, the essence of the Sea of Origin sometimes seeps out with the rise and fall of the void. The souls possessing these essences are special monsters, and they usually have
Many strange characteristics, powerful spiritual energy recovery and super high spiritual perception are the most common characteristics.
Eliminating such monsters will help restore balance to the Sea of Origin and slow down the spread of the black mist from the source. However, they are usually very powerful and are far from beings that Rhodes can touch now.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Isn’t it?
But I have already eliminated several of them.
Also, the black priest who loves to eat shit also has such a soul. Isn’t she also very weak?
Of course, Rhode didn't say these words, he just asked where he could find such a monster.
Lilivi told him that these monsters are usually outside the defensive circle, that is, outside the Trorian Kingdom. It is a real dark world where countless dangerous and terrifying unknown monsters lurk. Many monsters have fallen silent in the depths of darkness.
For tens of thousands of years, it has become an existence that is incomprehensible and indescribable to humans.
In contrast, the defensive circle is paradise, the safe zone is the cradle of babies, and the royal city is the hothouse of embryos.
Rhodes' first reaction was disbelief, which was very similar to what an adult would say to a child to trick him into not wandering around. His second reaction was a trembling chill. Her words were not a simple threat.
Rhodes knew that even dust-level monsters would mutate in the black mist if left untreated for a long time, or devour each other, or build nests, and gradually grow into deadly threats.
And outside Trorian, who will clean up the dark depths that humans have never reached? Who can imagine what they have become after countless years have passed?
Rhodes had also seen such a terrifying existence. Although it was just a glimpse, it left an extremely deep impression on him.
After getting the answer, Rhodes thought for a long time and finally determined that he could only wait for an opportunity to kill such a monster if he traveled with a strong person.
But the problem is that the Hunter Group does not seem to be involved in tasks other than Trorian. Maybe there is, but he has not seen it.
As for the secret base, he is not allowed to go out to perform tasks.
If you want to travel with those strong people, you must first become a strong person.
But the problem is, if I don’t hunt monsters, how can I become a strong person?
Rhodes felt that he was trapped in a paradox, and he had no way to break this logical cycle.
What to do?
Just when Rhodes was worried, a turning point came.
In the evening of the next day, instructor Solon finally returned from the front line.
At the same time, Dean Vera and the secret leader Khalil announced an extremely shocking news.
