The battle at Storm Pass has just begun, so it’s not necessarily going to fail, right?
Annabeth said: "There must be some emergency, I will send you there."
Rhodes shook his head: "I'll go by myself. You take Mavis and Cassian back to the station. If I don't come back and you are in danger again, you can take them back to the Rock Lighthouse."
In this team, the only core is him. As soon as he leaves, the team's structure collapses. Monsters that can usually be easily killed may be wiped out in an instant, so Annabeth must be present. If you can't defeat them, you can still run away.<
/p>
Although Annabeth was reluctant to admit it, she knew that Rhodes was right.
The three of them fell silent. Rhodes waved his hand, turned around and ran towards the seventh station.
The fog was thick, but he had the eyes of the soul and a good sense of direction, and he quickly found his location.
Like the third station, the seventh station is also a wisp of fire, which illuminates a twenty-yard radius, like a small oasis in the boundless black fog.
At this moment, this oasis is already full of people.
Everyone is wearing palace robes, with a double flame symbol on the collar, a lantern hanging on the waist, and a red tearstone brooch on the chest. They are all second-level combatants who are fighting.
They formed a circle, and in the center was Jon, the guardian and candidate for king. Next to him was a woman also wearing a guardian robe, whose age could not be seen.
Rhodes quickly recalled her name through his memory - Guardian Lilivi, the woman who controlled the never-extinguishing fire of chaos. They had fought together during the crusade against the Abyss Serpent.
When Rhodes stepped into the scope of the fire, Jon immediately said: "Okay, everyone is here. The situation is urgent. Let me briefly explain the situation."
"The big eyes of the White Tower foresaw a huge omen when observing the stars. The Lord of the White Tower, Meredith, used Holy Spirit divination to find the source of the crisis."
"The Castle of the Soul Eater King."
Within the firelight, there was silence, and everyone was silent. Those who can become Level 2 combatants have experienced countless crises and disasters, have been at the critical moment of life and death countless times, and have already experienced hundreds of battles (except Rhodes)
.
When facing a crisis, staying calm is the most basic quality.
Rhodes also didn't say anything. He doesn't have much experience, but many of the things he has experienced, no one here has experienced.
Jon continued: "The Ghost Eater King is an ancient evil spirit. It has been a potential threat since the founding of Trolian. This powerful king-level monster has been silent for thousands of years. The specific time cannot be verified. According to
Notes compiled by the Historical Society, it originated from the sage Aris of the previous era, and it did not automatically fall into silence, but was sealed when the Kingdom of Stars was at its most powerful."
"We don't know why the Starry Kingdom didn't destroy it, and we don't know why they didn't destroy the evil spirit's castle. Since the fall of the Starry Kingdom, the Soul-Eating King's castle has fallen silent again, until now."
Jon paused and continued.
"Some kind of strange movement has occurred in the Castle of the Soul Eater King. The seals of the stars are dissipating and failing, and the spiritual energy of the ancient evil spirits is resurrecting."…
Jon's voice became deeper.
"Unfortunately, at this critical moment, it is difficult for the Royal City to draw out special-level combatants to deal with the crisis, and we are not suitable to provoke a king-level war at this time. Therefore, the Royal City has decided to mobilize personnel from our Western Front to form an elite team. The combat team went to the Soul Eater King's castle to rebuild the seal."
He stretched out his hand, and there was a pure white rune in his palm.
"This is the starry rune that the Lord of the White Tower, Meredith, urgently imitated. Our task is to find the sealing point and use this rune to replace the old and failed seal."
"Therefore, I need a teammate who is good at runes and seals, a teammate who has strong spiritual vision and is extremely resistant to pollution and erosion, and a teammate who has the ability to hide and can transfer or remove curses and abnormal conditions. ."
Jon looked around and said solemnly.
"Please note that this is a very dangerous mission,
Please follow your own intuition to see if it is suitable and if there are any signs of danger."
"This is also the purpose of bringing everyone together."
Before he finished speaking, a tall man walked out.
His temples were gray and his face was full of vicissitudes of life. A long scratch scratched his cheek, leaving him with only his left eye.
"I, Hall of Mugu City, have soul characteristics of the seal of space, characteristic level 9, psychic level 10, strength 3600 kilometres, good at the front position, nicknamed scalpel."
Jon nodded: "Which station?"
"Eleven."
"Okay, combatants from the 10th and 12th stations, you are responsible for guarding this station at the same time."
Two voices in the crowd answered at the same time: "Yes!"
After the voice fell, another woman came out.
She looks very petite and weak, with a delicate face, not tall, and her voice is very thin and soft.
"I am Misol from Qianhu Town, soul characteristic receptor transfer, characteristic level 8, psychic level 10, strength 4000 kilometres, good at back position."
Jon nodded: "Which station?"
"Sixteen."
"No problem!" Before Jon could speak, two crisp replies came from the crowd, "Leave it to me."
"The last position." Jon waited for a few seconds and looked around, but no one came out.
Rhodes hesitated for a moment. He did not stand up immediately because the Book of Knowledge warned in his mind: "The divine benefits of this mission are unclear. There may be some changes. It is best not to take it. The garrison can at least have some security."
With 15 points of divinity, you can also gain a lot of powerful souls, which we are in short supply now."
Jon looked around for the second time, and a small man stood up hesitantly.
"Sir Jon, I don't know if I can do it. My psychic vision is 91, but my soul resistance is not particularly high. I often have to take purification potions to ensure the purity of my soul."
Jon was silent for a few seconds. The ideal candidate was of course Rhodes, but the fact that he didn't come forward showed that he might have a bad premonition.
In dangerous missions, the intuition and premonition of high-level combatants are also very important. People with bad premonitions should try not to participate. This is a basic principle.
The high-level combatant in front of me is named Eggers. He has suffered very severe soul trauma and strictly speaking does not meet the requirements of this mission...
Jon looked around for the third time, but still no one came forward.
In fact, he knew all the high-level combatants present, including each of their characteristics, habits and abilities, but the real key lay in their intuition.
This kind of spiritual feeling is very wonderful. Making full use of it is the experience accumulated by Wangcheng over the past thousands of years.
Jon sighed in his heart, and just when he was about to decide on the candidate, Rhodes suddenly took a step forward and stood up.
"Rhodes of Red Rock Village, Spark Sequence, Nine Fires, Absolute Spiritual Vision, Extremely High Soul Resistance, Very Strong Self-Purification Ability, Psychic Level 10, Strength 3000 Kilometers, Good at All Positions, No Nicknames." p>
There was some tremor in the crowd.
Rhodes' self-reported data is very dazzling. Although his reputation is widely spread, high-level combatants do not know much about someone who has not fought side by side in intense battles all year round.
This is the first time Rhodes has participated in a battle as a second-level combatant.
"Absolute visionary!"
"Oh my God, there is an absolute psychic among us!"
"The soul has extremely high resistance? It also has the ability to purify itself? This is not what a genius can describe, right?"
"He is of the Spark Sequence. I haven't had a comrade of the Spark Sequence for a long time. I always thought he was a spiritual fire and his soul characteristic was a black rice bucket."
"You are so young and you are good at all positions? You are a new generation of strong men, you are not exaggerating, are you?"
"Why would he emphasize that he has no nickname? If he doesn't have a nickname, he won't say it..."
Rhodes was very happy that Jon's words quickly cut off this question.
"Rhode, are you sure?
Do you want to participate? Is your intuition okay?"
Rhodes replied decisively: "Sure, no problem."
"Master."
The Book of Knowledge wrote in his mind: "I don't quite agree with this choice, but I support the master's choice to explore ancient ruins. The most dangerous thing is the unknown, and the most important thing is knowledge. The spirituality in my soul is fully restored.
Can find answers to certain questions for the owner."
"Very good." Rhodes was very satisfied with the changes in the Book of Knowledge and asked without hesitation: "Book, can you predict the biggest difficulty in this operation?"
The Book of Knowledge gives an affirmative answer.
"Okay, although it's not knowledge, but after my spirituality is fully restored, my inspiration is very keen, well..."
It held it back for a moment and wrote.
"I have a hunch that things related to the number 51 will bring bad omens, so avoid 51."
Rhodes suddenly felt confident and said happily: "Shu, you are great."
"Of course."
The book of knowledge turned over the pages and walked away proudly.
Ahead, Jon continued to ask: "Rhodes is in the third station, the second station and the fourth station. Do you have any questions?"
Two loud voices rang out from the crowd: "No."
Rhodes hurriedly added: "I still have my battle group at my station. The three of them are auxiliary personnel and have no direct combat effectiveness. Please help and take care of them."
This time, there was a big shock in the crowd.
"What?"
"He also has his own battle group?"
"Isn't he a level two combatant? His psychic level is ten, and his strength is 3,000 kilometres. That's right!"
"Aren't only first-level combatants eligible to form a battle group?"…
Jon immediately suppressed his questioning voice.
"He is in a special situation! Now, please return to your respective combat positions quickly. The battle is not suspended. Team members, follow me. This mission will be led by Lilivi and I."
The crowd dispersed quickly, and the three of them, led by Jon and Lilivi, ran towards the west.
The billowing black mist rushed toward us, but it was blocked by the lanterns around everyone's waists and the red tearstone brooches on their chests.
This is the only force that can truly fight against the black mist. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the soul is, if it is trapped in the black mist, it will only be slowly corroded, gradually going crazy, and becoming an irrational monster.
The King's Candidate with "Eternal Fire" is no exception.
The petite Misor cast a pale shadow over everyone. According to her, this shadow can transfer the breath of life, the disturbance of the soul, and the fluctuation of spiritual energy to her body. p>
She can then use the silent blank rune to shield herself to minimize the disturbance.
Jon nodded slightly. This is indeed a very effective concealment method. If all members use the Silence Rune, the disturbance between the runes will greatly reduce its concealment effect. There is no problem in using it in general areas, but this trip is
In the extremely dangerous Castle of the Soul Eater King, the perception of powerful monsters will turn this small flaw into a fatal threat.
This is one of the reasons why he limits the number of people to 5 people.
On the way, Jon said: "There are mainly two kinds of monsters around the Soul-Eating King's castle: the Soul-Eating Demon and the Soul-Devouring Demon. They are both terrifying monsters born under the influence of the Soul-Eating King's characteristics. We try not to disturb them. According to this
The route goes inside the castle, finds the place of seal, and uses Lord Meredith's seal to replace the old and ineffective star seal."
Hall, who was in charge of the seal, asked in a hoarse voice: "Is there any information about the inside of the castle?"
Jon shook his head.
"The Ghost Eater King's castle is too dangerous for the investigation corps to enter. They have already lost three elite investigation teams because of this."
Everyone fell silent.
Jon continued: "However, we have inferred from some limited information that the sealed place of the Soul Eater King seems to be in the very center of the castle, and the castle itself is accompanied by a strong curse and pollution-this requires Mytho and
Rhodes."
Mishor said softly: "Sir Jon, I have no problem."
Rhodes didn't say anything. He had never participated in a similar mission, so he didn't know if there was any problem.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Jon didn't pay attention and continued: "The Soul Eater King is an extremely powerful evil spirit. The process of replacing and rebuilding the seal will suffer strong backlash. Hall, you must concentrate on it. We only have one chance. If we fail, the city can only use backup preparations."
Eucalyptus, we will suffer huge losses."
Hall replied hoarsely: "I understand, don't worry, I have suffered much more severe pain than this."
The scars on his face and skull were enough to prove the weight of his words.
Jon looked indifferent and said calmly: "Mithoor, you must bear the backlash for him."
The petite Misor nodded slightly: "I will, Lord Jon."
"Finally, our principle is to avoid fighting. If we have to fight, Lilivi and I will solve it quickly, and you will assist us to minimize disturbance."…
The three of them did not speak, only nodded.
The journey was uneventful. Rhodes' spiritual vision was very strong and he avoided all the wandering monsters.
About an hour later, everyone successfully arrived at the Castle of the Soul-Eating King.
Rhodes looked around and saw a majestic oval building standing in the darkness. Its outer layer was gray and black, and it was made of densely packed corpses. There were huge spikes on the surface, making it look like a giant sea urchin. One side of the castle has collapsed, as if a meteor had opened a huge gap.
Outside the castle and in the gaps, there are many huge reptile monsters wandering around. They are all black, dozens of yards long, with huge tails and extremely long tongues, with carrion and organs hanging out, like skinned lizards. p>
"Don't let them find you." Jon warned: "The soul-thirsting demons are very difficult to deal with."
In Rhode's sight, the soul fluctuations of these monsters are very powerful. They are all powerful and super-level. Monsters of this level cannot be killed easily, let alone in such a deep black mist.
"Go this way."
Rhodes chose the path with the fewest monsters.
Everyone followed Rhodes cautiously.
Rhodes' spiritual vision can still reach a distance of more than 400 yards in this environment, which is enough to ensure safety.
But an accident still happened. A soul-thirsty demon two hundred yards away suddenly rushed towards them, flicked its long tongue, and shot out electricity.
"Careful!"
Jon took a step forward and completed the psychic transformation in the blink of an eye. The powerful psychic energy instantly condensed on his wrist, blocking the long tongue of the Soul-thirsty Demon with a bang.
The next second, a rotating fireball hit the soul-thirsty demon, and the chaotic flames instantly covered its body, burning its soul.
The thirsty soul demon twisted and struggled, arousing all its spiritual energy to block the erosion of the fire of chaos, but it was in vain. In the blink of an eye, its soul was extinguished and burned to ashes.
The fire of chaos was extinguished only after it completely burned the thirsty soul demon.
Jon rang the Bell of Silence as early as the moment he was attacked, so that the disturbance did not alert other monsters.
"Good job, Lilivi."
Liliwei smiled faintly, but her eyes always stayed on Rhodes.
Rhodes was confused and couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency Liliwei, what problem did I have just now..."
Lilivi said softly: "No, little Rod, you did a good job."
"Oh..."
Lilivi's gaze remained unchanged: "Little Rhodes, do you remember Mr. Theodore?"
Rhodes felt confused, but still replied: "Of course I remember, how could I forget the chief dean."
Liliwei showed a strange smile: "I knew you would never forget him. His breath still remains in you."
She looked at Rhodes with fascination, but it was like she was looking at another person.
"The chief dean said that he will definitely come back. You have carried the last ripples of his soul. You must also feel this way, right?"
Rhodes was silent for a few seconds. The statue of the chief dean still stood in the dream. He said that he would be there when the stars returned.
The probability is back, but so much time has passed and the statue has not changed at all. He is not sure whether this is true now.
"Yes."
Rhodes thought for a moment and gave an affirmative answer...
"The chief dean said he might return with the return of the stars."
Flower of Humanity 1
At this moment, Lilivi's blooming smile made Rhodes feel like he saw the sun rising, dazzling, full of vigor and vitality.
"Great, this is really great. The chief dean did not lie to me. He said he had become a star in the sky. When the stars return, of course the chief dean will return."
Rhodes hurriedly added: "It is possible."
"Yeah, maybe."
Lilivi murmured, but the smile on her face showed that she didn't realize what Rhodes was talking about.
"The latest divination from the White Tower says that there are 51 days until the stars return, and there are 51 days until Hanukkah, and I will be able to see Lord Theodore again."
"Okay."
After Jon finished dealing with the traces of the monster, he walked back and turned off the Bell of Silence. It is a fixed space effect and cannot exist for a long time, otherwise it will have the opposite effect and cause irreversible damage to the Bell of Silence.
"Keep going as planned."
At this moment, Rhodes felt huge uneasiness in his heart.
The return of the stars is the greatest time in the sky, and Trorian uses it to divide the year. Whenever the stars return, it is the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year.
[An old book friend who has known me for ten years recommended this book to me, @@! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving and before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here]
But why is it exactly 51 days?
"Book!" Rhodes asked hurriedly in his heart: "Did you hear it?"
The Book of Knowledge asked in confusion: "What did you hear?"
"51 days! The number 51 appears. What does it mean? How can I prevent it?"
The Book of Knowledge asked in confusion: "What 51?"
Rhodes felt a chill in his heart: "Don't you have a premonition that the number 51 will bring disaster?"
I turned over the pages of the book of knowledge, but the writing is still confusing.
"What premonition? What disaster? Why does 51 bring this? When did I have the premonition? I am a book of knowledge, not a magic stick."
At this moment, Rhodes felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He suddenly remembered that there was a time when the Book of Knowledge was like this, and he forgot about its premonition.
Rhodes didn't know why, and he didn't plan to ask again. It was impossible to retreat at this time. He could only tense up to the extreme and approach the Castle of the Soul-Eating King step by step...
