The golden text flashed across his eyes, making Rhodes happy, which made up for his regret of finding that the monster was not even ashes.
In the process of searching the pit, he couldn't find any monster ashes, and they all seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Alas, this approach still has flaws.
Rhodes thought with some dissatisfaction.
It was obviously me who caused the void, so why isn’t it me who killed him?
Even if the soul cannot be absorbed, at least some ashes should be left, right?
The void is too edible.
Well, it must be that [Dark Devourer] is not strong enough. Its quantification is still in progress. When it is completed, I will definitely be able to snatch my meat back from the mouth of the void.
Hum hum.
When the time comes, I will self-destruct everywhere. Will it still be a problem to occupy Fanxing Town? Is it still difficult to realize the Holy Fire Plan?
Hahaha.
The only trouble is that making the Stone of Resurrection requires divinity.
And now he only has 22 points of divinity left, so he can only make two stones of resurrection.
Moreover, there are souls who also need divinity.
Before obtaining more divinity, this method can only be used as his last trump card and cannot be abused.
While Rhodes was thinking, he and everyone else quickly completed a preliminary inspection of the giant pit.
The actual area of the entire underground city is very large, with tens of thousands of large and small rooms, and the layout is excellent. It has specially divided accommodation areas, functional areas, storage areas, and complete drainage and ventilation ducts.
On the edge of the underground city close to the earth, the thickness of the psychically reinforced wall has exceeded fifty yards.
Obviously, it is almost impossible for ordinary monsters to attack the pit from inside the land.
Psionic reinforcement requires a large amount of psychic and spiritual resources.
It is conceivable that the construction of such a huge underground city cost the Kingdom of Stars a lot of manpower and material resources.
However, it still perished.
In this ruins, Rhodes and others found a large amount of decayed materials, many weapons that had long been disabled, ores whose spirituality had been lost over the long years, and countless dregs left after being devoured by monsters. p>
From these relics of the previous generation of humans, Rhodes felt a kind of desolation and vicissitudes of time. Time has washed away all glory and pride, all struggles, struggles, efforts, failures and despair, and in the end only this one is left.
A pile of decayed matter whose shape has been lost.
But most people don’t feel this desolation.
They work enthusiastically to clean up garbage, purify pollution and corrosion.
Since the entire dungeon is too big, they can only clear a small area.
At the bottom of the big pit is a huge sacrificial site.
In the center of the sacrificial site is a large semicircular pit.
Obviously, this is the location where the starry kingdom is used to light the guardian fire.
The Horcrux carrying the protective fire has long since disappeared, leaving only a bare stone pit, and the fire has gone nowhere.
Molly decisively ordered the fire keepers to take root here and build a new fire keeper sacrificial site.
The Fire Keeper is an old man. Although his psychic abilities have declined, his rich experience still makes him qualified for this job.
He took out the lamp containing the guardian fire, embedded the prepared Horcrux into the stone pit, then piled the ashes of the fire, spread the firewood, and carefully took out the flames in the lamp.
Gently place it into the center of the Horcrux.
The fire keeper injects his own spirituality into the fire and piles a large amount of phlogiston around the flame.
Following his strange ritual movements, the flames quickly became blazing, and the blazing fire burst out, bursting into golden light like the sun was born, illuminating the entire underground pit and the buildings in the walls.
The black mist was dispelled, the darkness was evaporated, and this underground city that had sunk for more than a thousand years once again welcomed the light.
Everyone gathered around the fire, following the movements of the fire keeper and praying in a low voice:
"May the fire last forever, may the heroes be immortal, may the spirit continue, and may mankind be immortal."
A low voice echoed in this extremely empty space.
Rhodes looked up and saw that this place was like a giant well filled with golden light.
The sky outside the wellhead is thick and dark.
Just like the frog sitting in the well looking at the sky, human beings hide in such a safe space to survive. If someone climbs out of the well, they will see that this small sky is just a microcosm of the greater darkness.
Such a dangerous external environment really makes people want to stay in a house full of warm firelight
Rhodes suddenly understood those conservatives.
They are not all bad people, they are just frightened by the boundless darkness.
After the fire ceremony was completed, everyone had an inexplicable feeling, as if this place had become their home.
A warm current spread from their hearts to their limbs, dispelling the coldness of the darkness.
Vice-captain Kande sighed: "No matter how many times I see it, it's still the same as when I saw it for the first time."
O'Hara, a burly man, burst into tears.
"Woo woo woo, the fire is so warm, why is the world dark?"
The fire protector came over with his body crouched, coughing and said: "Sir Commander, after the fire of protection falls to the ground, its power will stabilize and will not be lost easily. As long as you pay attention to adding phlogiston, it will be difficult to extinguish." p>
Rhodes remembered what the king had told him before and asked curiously: "Is the ceremony of the fire falling to the ground the root of rooting into the sea of origin?"
The Fire Keeper raised his cloudy eyes and glanced at Rhodes, then coughed:
"Commander, you are much more knowledgeable than you appear. Today's young people think that knowledge is useless. They only know how to fight and kill. Half of the young people have never heard of the name Sea of Origin." Kande smiled and said: "Isn't that true? But our new star is different."
"Yes, he knows a lot of gestures."
Rhodes ignored them and continued to ask: "When the guardian fire moves, won't the source be lost?"
The fire keeper looked up at the golden flames of this man, and continued to put his spirit into the fire.
"You are right. If the guardian fire does not penetrate the sea of roots, its source will continue to drain and eventually dissipate completely. The dormant fire must be stored in a special container."
Rhodes asked again: "Is the source of the Guardian Fire also time, space, and the active field?"
The firekeeper gave him a warning look.
"You know too much. The source of the guardian fire is a broken and lower law. They must undergo the transformation of the source before they can enter the realm of the three original pillars. The holy fire is not a simple super-powerful guardian fire."<
/p>
Rhodes instantly understood the meaning of the Fire Keeper's words.
Obviously, he is also a member of the Holy Fire Project.
He was telling him that the Holy Fire could not make up for the lack of source structure by swallowing the fire of the Guardian Fire.
And no one except Molly could understand what they were saying at all.
O'Hara scratched his short head and asked doubtfully: "What is the source? Is it delicious?"
Kande poked his buttocks from behind: "Shut up, you idiot!"
O'Hara slapped his hand away: "What are you poking? Don't you know your characteristic is bursting? What should I do if my butt is cracked by you?"
"Bah! Can I poke your pure steel body?"
The firekeeper ignored the noisy two people and forced out a wrinkled smile.
"Commander, if you have any doubts, you can ask Miss Molly. She is the hardest working girl among us."
There was no special expression on Molly's delicate face, she said calmly.
"Mr. Orma, please adjust the direction and area of the firelight as soon as possible. Only thirty yards are left for the underground part. The radius of the aboveground part must be more than seven hundred yards and the height must be more than six hundred yards. Try to cover the entire underground city.
."
"But don't exceed it too much to avoid attracting monsters. This stronghold is somewhat special. Please operate it carefully."
Fire Keeper Jaw: "I understand."
"The phlogiston must be reserved for at least ten days, and there must be at least one backup of firewood to stabilize the structure. If any of the supplies are in emergency, please tell me immediately."
"Okay, Miss Molly."
"O'Hara, Kande, move all the carriages into the underground city, block other entrances, reduce our presence as much as possible, and avoid unnecessary battles."
The two people who were still arguing about whether their buttocks would be cracked immediately stood at attention at the same time and replied: "Yes, Deputy Commander."
"Also, clear out our stronghold area as soon as possible. It must be completed before midnight. Today is a dark moon night, so there may be trouble."
"Yes!"
The two agreed and immediately led the soldiers to run out of the giant pit.
Everyone is busy again.
Two support staff are constantly purifying the pollution in the room, while the soldiers are quickly cleaning up the accumulated decay.
The carriages have also been moved down, and there are many large rooms in the dungeon.
The spirit horse returned to its sleeping state and turned into a small ball, all of which were kept by Molly.
The luggage in the carriage was moved out and laid out in the room that had been cleaned and purified.
With everyone's efforts, the work was finally completed before sunset, and a preliminary base was established.
Rhodes looked down at the vast space filled with golden light from the hole in the upper wall of the giant pit, and could hardly believe that this was the stronghold they established on the first day.
Behind him, the cleared accommodation area was clean and bright, and the ground filled with elf grass juice and dragon spirit flower essential oil exuded a faint fragrance.
Golden light echoed in the air, and no shadow could be seen.
The firelight of the Guardian Fire is not ordinary light, it is the power of fire projected in space and will not be blocked by ordinary matter.
Therefore, even if there are no lights in the room, it will be very bright.
Two support staff have already laid out beds and simple furniture for them.
Except for the temporary lack of water, this place can already be called a human settlement.
Strong joy fills everyone's heart, and confidence in success has never echoed in the chest like this.
Many soldiers are gearing up, eager to try, and even request to start fighting now.
But it was rejected by Molly.
"Fighting at night is very dangerous, and unnecessary situations should be avoided as much as possible. Moreover, today is the night of the dark moon, and the power of darkness will become stronger. There is no need for us to waste our strength."
What she said was very correct, and everyone knew it, but they just couldn't contain their passion.
So, after arranging the duty task, Molly dismissed everyone and asked them to go back and rest immediately, adjust their condition as soon as possible, and start fighting tomorrow.
The soldiers returned to the room with excitement, waiting for the moment to fight for mankind.
Evening.
After eating a box of canned clams as a simple dinner, Rod was preparing to sort out his dreams when Molly opened the door and walked in.
"Commander, I have a few things to report to you."
