Although it was deep in darkness, it only took six hours for Rhodes and the four of them to return to the royal city along the safe route they had opened.
It is even faster than when we arrived. Its pace and handling of emergencies can be regarded as a model for high-level combat power to travel long distances.
When the four stepped into Trorian's territory from the dark world, Rhodes saw the influence of the Holy Fire more clearly.
It was as if there was an invisible boundary. Not only did the black mist appear clearly layered, it even became calmer, as if it was suppressed by some kind of force.
After crossing this boundary, the rolling black mist is like countless black bugs, active and ferocious, always trying to get into the warm skin and gnaw on flesh, flesh and soul.
"The sacred fire is indeed the foundation of human existence."
Rhodes thought.
"Without the light of fire, not to mention the black mist, monsters would be much more difficult to deal with."
The Great Demon God in the God Tower is far more powerful and more difficult to deal with than the Great Demon God encountered in Starry Sky City.
If he hadn't broken through level 14 of psychic power, he wouldn't have been able to defeat him.
Back in Starry Sky City, in his red God of War state, he could still fight against the Great Demon God, and he wasn't too far behind.
The only difference between the two is that there are three people, Qingyu, Jon, and Xingge, lighting up the battlefield in Star City.
As the "chosen people of fire", they themselves are equivalent to the protective fire.
Where there is fire, it is the home ground of mankind.
But in the divine tower, they didn't even dare to light up their peripheral vision.
"The influence of the environment is really great. The Chaos Demon, who is invincible in the Sea of Chaos, is like a piece of fat meat when he enters the dream. I kill him in one fell swoop."
Rhodes was thinking about it in his mind.
"We have to find a way to get one of the three of them to become a teammate in the future, otherwise we will be at a huge disadvantage."
"Fortunately, the Chaos Demon came to deliver the food and even took a ride on the spire of the Sun. Otherwise, this time it would have been terrible and we might have failed."
"I don't know what the reason is, and the Book of Knowledge can't figure it out either."
With countless thoughts rising and falling in his mind, Rhodes returned to the Royal City in deep contemplation.
When he stepped into the light of the holy fire, the cold feeling in his soul finally faded away, and a warmth spread into his limbs and bones, making Rhodes feel comfortable.
Liszt breathed a sigh of relief. Since No. 19 shouted Rod's name before he died, he was worried about Rod's accident along the way. Fortunately, everything was safe.
Under the light of fire, nothing unknown or weird will happen.
According to convention, those who return from a long journey in darkness must be baptized in the Soul Church as soon as possible to remove all possible contamination or curses to avoid causing disaster in the royal city.
Although Rhodes knew that his soul was extremely pure, he still came to the Soul Church with Lister and the others.
The three strong bishops took Liszt away, and only Rhodes was personally received by Soul Master Priscilla.
This is an old acquaintance. He once gave lessons to Rhodes, and later also cleansed his soul or held soul rituals for Rhodes many times.
She put Rhodes into a huge pool of soul crystals and wetted his body with special spiritual liquid, revealing his absolutely perfect body.
"Relax."
There was no expression on her delicate face, but her eyes as calm as a lake were always fixed on his exaggerated chest and abdominal muscles.
"Don't fight me, I will examine the filth in your body."
Priscilla increased the amount of water, but Rhodes still showed no trace of pollution, whether in body or soul.
The screams of Liszt and others could be heard from the side. Although Rhodes reminded them that their protection was in place, many areas of contamination and corruption were still detected.
The bishops are vigorously brushing their bodies with a feather duster-like object.
But Rhodes was as clean as if he had just been born into this world.
Priscilla raised her eyebrows and increased the amount of water.
Rhodes said helplessly: "Master, it's not like you haven't seen me before. I am pure."
"Impossible." Priscilla said coldly: "No one can remain pure when they return from the depths of darkness."
She continued to twist the knob, and because the amount of water was too large, the splashed spiritual liquid also wetted her robe.
Rhodes glanced at it!
Groove!
Master, your face is so pure, but I didn’t expect your figure to be so impure.
Priscilla noticed Rhode's strange behavior, a light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she took out a photo crystal from her chest:
"Here, just look here."
Rhodes scratched his head and said helplessly: "Master, I have watched it several times, but they all have the same content and I am not interested."
Priscilla said expressionlessly: "This is mine."
Is there such a good thing?
Rhodes took it and took a look, his eyes almost jumped out of his head.
"Wow!"
——
——
When Rhodes came to his senses, he had been kicked out of the Church of the Soul.
Priscilla told him calmly that she had confirmed that he was normal and not contaminated in any way.
As for what caused her change of opinion, Rhodes is still unclear.
Unfortunately, after being kicked out, the photo crystal was also returned.
Outside the door of the Church of the Soul, Archbishop Horus had already been waiting for them.
After returning to the territory of Trolian, Liszt sent a concise and concise report of what happened back to the royal city.
Because many things were so unimaginable, he didn't even write them down, but only brought the mark of the Crown of Fire in the psychic transmission, indicating that this journey brought back a lot of extremely important information and gains.
Therefore, only after completing the necessary tests will the Archbishop personally greet you.
Of course, he couldn't come alone. Behind Horus, there were a large number of fire priests, two managers of the Royal City's Logistics Resources Department, Amides, Binns, and Barrett, the great scholars of the Jinworth Society.
As well as dozens of scholars and hundreds of support staff.
"Rhodes, Liszt, No. 7, No. 9, I am very happy to see you return to the royal city intact."
Horus said seriously, his eyes swept across their faces, and finally landed on Rhodes.
"The contributions you have made to mankind will always shine in history."
Liszt was surprised and moved at the same time. This kind of battle had never happened before.
But when I think about what they brought, I feel that this is a matter of course.
A strong trembling feeling rose from the bottom of his heart again, and Liszt couldn't wait to speak, but before he could speak, Horus said: "Rhodes, quickly take out the captured resources."<
/p>
Liszt said anxiously: "Your Excellency, Archbishop, this is not the point..."
Horus said in a deep voice: "Legion Commander, this is the key point... We are very, very short of resources and materials now."
Hu Lun, the manager of the Logistics Resources Department, was a super bald man. He immediately emerged from the crowd and shouted: "Legion Commander, Son of Fire, take it out quickly, I am almost driven to death! Logistics report is coming soon.
My table is flooded! If I don’t come up with logistics supplies, Mr. Dalin will come over and strangle me to death!"
The other steward was a red-haired sister. Rhodes didn’t remember her real name, but he only knew that everyone called her Feng.
Feng Ye shouted: "We originally had insufficient supplies, and it was difficult to supply our daily needs. As soon as the battle on the front line began, the demand surged, and we simply couldn't withstand it. Potions, various combat supplies, spiritual materials, phlogiston, and residual fire,
Out of the corner of my eye, even the lantern is beginning to be missing!"
Rhodes was surprised: "Why is there a shortage of lanterns?"
Feng blinked her big round eyes and suddenly changed her voice:
"Making a spiritual lantern requires spiritual materials. Due to the huge increase in demand in other areas, these materials are no longer enough...Brother Rhodes, give it to me quickly. I am so hungry and thirsty that I can't stand it anymore."<
/p>
Liszt's eyes widened. Feng had been the logistics manager for three or four years. He was at least twenty-six or seventeen years old. He was a few years older than Rhodes, and he actually called him big brother.
And he is obviously much older than Feng, but Feng always just calls him Little Bald.
It is worth mentioning that the bald man is the general manager, Jovi Hulen.
He turned around and looked, and sure enough, Rhodes fell into the trap immediately.
Feng's appearance is pretty, her eyebrows are alluring, her temper has dropped, and her voice has changed, it's like she's a completely different person.
"Okay, we can release other materials collected in the ancient city."
Although Rhodes had a questioning tone, he kept reaching out with his hands.
These materials should have been collected by Adam Yarrell, and only some doors and windows belong to the tower.
Hu Lun and Feng's eyes suddenly straightened.
"This is the best ruby!"
"Oh my God, so many super high-quality radiance stones?"
"Is this a door frame made of weathered iron? Who is so extravagant?"
"Wow! Ruby, sapphire, sapphire... so many, so many!"
Not only them, but Archbishop Horus, great scholars Amides, Binns, and Barrett, as well as hundreds of support staff and fire priests at the Holy Fire Sacrifice, were all stunned.
Rhodes was also amazed in his heart. Adam Yarrell was not only a powerful warrior, but also a super powerful alchemist and pharmacist. He had collected many materials in the tower for thirty years and carefully prepared them.
Refining, some finished products are simply art!
Hu Lun continued to direct the logistics personnel to sort them into categories and send them back to the large warehouse in the royal city. His shiny bald head rose and fell in the crowd.
The wind gently touches each item, picking out any that are damaged or spoiled inside and setting them aside.
Her bright eyes shone brightly, and her rosy face looked extremely alluring under the firelight.
The three scholars carefully observed each item, trying to find the history left behind.
The fire priests surrounded the site with an intense fire ritual to cleanse the objects of any remaining contamination.
This feast lasted for about half an hour, and Rhodes' hands were tired before he finished collecting the supplies they brought back from the divine city.
After completing all the storage work, another golden light flashed in front of Rhodes' eyes.
Provide resources, bring hope, divinity 15
Divinity:179
Hahaha!
Rhodes laughed out loud immediately.
This feeling of immediately gaining divinity is great!
The Book of Knowledge also laughed wildly in his mind: "Hahaha, there is divinity here again, great, this is the normal state, I am finally not mentally retarded!"
Asa said in annoyance: "I know you are not mentally retarded, Broshu, can you stop shouting? You are disturbing my meal."
The Book of Knowledge said angrily: "What did you say? You are a piece of shit that pollutes the environment! You actually caused us to lose a little bit of our divinity!"
Asa sneered: "What I brought to the master is countless times more than that little divinity..."
The puppet came over, stood between them, and said calmly: "Stop arguing, it's not good for you, and the master doesn't like it."
Asa snorted, curled up again, and concentrated on chewing away evil thoughts.
The Book of Knowledge ignored him and shouted: "Master, have you seen it? This is one of the changes brought about by repairing the sun spire! Its strength has been greatly improved, and it has been able to obtain divinity.
That’s a lot of information.”
Rhodes nodded: "Well done, Shu."
The Book of Knowledge suddenly burst into laughter and said: "Master, the dreamland is about to enter the ice prison. We are about to encounter a battle in the spirit world. We must make all preparations. The repair of the Tower of the Sun is the top priority.
Heavy."
The puppet said: "You also need to complete the psychic upgrade ceremony as soon as possible. Several stars have been quantified for some time. Only when you enter the realm of the Herrscher can they complete the quantification."
Rhodes solemnly said: "I understand. As soon as the matter is resolved, I will go to perform the psychic upgrade ceremony."
After recovering consciousness from the dream, the scene was already immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and humanity once again flooded the screen crazily.
In fact, when he became the Son of Fire and Horus ordered the Holy Church to promote him as a hero, his humanity had been flooding the screen, but it was faster this time.
Rhodes tried to distinguish if there was anyone around him who had not contributed humanity, but unfortunately the names were flashed too quickly and he could not tell clearly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Unfortunately, the requirements for the Flower of Humanity are too high and cannot be used as a commonly used identification method."
Rhodes thought.
"Anyone given the flower of humanity is definitely not an ancient evil idea or a doomsday cultist."
Just when I thought about it, two more golden lights flashed before my eyes.
The Flower of Humanity 1, from Jolevi Hulen
Flower of Humanity 1, from Night Fire·Wind
Very good!
Rhodes beamed.
It seems that these two are not ancient evil thoughts or doomsday cultists.
"Thank you, brother Rod!" In the warm atmosphere, Feng came up and gave him a big hug.
Liszt said dissatisfied: "What about me?"
No. 7 and No. 9 also joined in the fun: "What about us?"
Feng smiled and said: "Thank you little bald man, thank you big beard, thank you one-eyed dragon."
The three people were dissatisfied and said: "Why am I not the eldest brother?"
Feng covered his lips and said with a smile: "This is because Mr. Rhodes likes it. He is our great savior. As long as he likes it, let alone big brother, father, grandfather and ancestors will be fine..."
Hu Lun interrupted her in time and thanked everyone politely.
"Thank you for the resources you brought to the Royal City. Humanity will be proud of you!"
Archbishop Horus nodded slightly: "With these supplies alone, it is enough to award you with 100 badges."
The great scholar Amides smiled and said: "The big library will record your experiences in detail, and Trorian will remember this achievement."
Rhodes and Liszt looked at each other, knowing that this was only the most insignificant of their gains.
What would happen to them if the whole story was told?
Suddenly, the four of them had expectations in their hearts.
After that, the logistics staff left in a hurry, and Archbishop Horus took everyone to the Holy Fire Sacrifice.
Under the golden holy fire, Wang opened his eyes and looked a little tired.
Since the intensity of the holy fire skyrocketed, the original fragile balance has been broken. The inner and outer spiritual worlds have been greatly disturbed by the fire. Powerful spiritual monsters are constantly attacking, and there are even monsters from high-level spiritual worlds.
The king fights in the spirit world more frequently than before to protect the light cast by the holy fire in the spirit world from being polluted.
But after seeing Rhodes, the fatigue in Wang's eyes suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Little Rhodes, I'm glad to see you back from your journey deep into the darkness. Horus told me that you have important crown-level gains."
Rhodes nodded: "We have gained a lot, far beyond our imagination."
Wang looked at him with interest: "Then this is really good news."
Rhodes was not good at this kind of formal reporting work, so Liszt took a step forward and began to explain the process in detail.
He spoke very carefully, explaining the causes and consequences of everything clearly, clearly, logically and in an orderly manner. He was obviously a veteran who had experienced many battles.
I don’t know when, the Holy Fire Sacrificial Site became extremely quiet, leaving only the sound of the burning Holy Fire.
Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to Liszt's every word, for fear of missing every word.
When they heard that they had discovered the Divine City, everyone's eyes lit up.
When I heard that they encountered the great devil in the tower, the sounds of inhaling came and went.
When I heard that Rhodes killed the Great Demon God in a dark fog environment, there was another warm applause.
After they entered the pyramid, everyone was silent.
It wasn't until Liszt finished speaking that Archbishop Horus asked: "So, you have moved the Star Marrow Altar that is two hundred yards high and weighs tens of millions of tons?"
The breathing at the Holy Fire Sacrifice suddenly became much heavier, and everyone pricked up their ears.
Liszt corrected: "He was put into his food bin by Lord Rhodes."
Horus's deadwood-like face couldn't help showing a look of shock: "Rhodes, is your rice bucket so big?"
At this time, Rhodes really wanted to punch Horus in the face, and then kick Liszt away. Can your wording be more accurate? Can't you say storage space?
What a loser, you are the loser, your whole family is too!
Rhodes took a deep breath, calmed down, and replied: "In my space."
The next second, cheers rose from the sky.
Whether it was fire priests, scholars, or even respected people like Horus and Amides, they all cheered.
Star marrow is a rare spiritual material. Its greatest use is not to make weapons, equipment, or items, but to be used in star rituals.
From a spiritual perspective, star marrow belongs to star creation and contains the spirit of stars. In star rituals, it is one of the most important substances.
The star ritual is one of the important soul rituals and is widely used for the ignition, strengthening, control of fire, the upgrading of characteristics, and the quantification of the source.
Rhodes has never encountered similar problems, so he has never used star rituals.
But in the royal city, almost every high-level combatant has experienced the star ceremony.
If there are so many star essences, the combat power of the royal city will be greatly improved.
"Everyone."
Rhodes said calmly.
"I think it might have a bigger role."
Horus frowned: "What did you say? Do you mean the absolute refuge? It sounds like something from the Survivor Cult."
Rhodes shook his head slightly and briefly explained the concept of the Spirit Curtain, the Wall of Black Mist, and Adam Yarrell's "Great Wall of Black Mist".
Everyone felt unbelievable. Obviously, they preferred to use the star marrow directly.
Although the Star Marrow Altar is very strong, this is the royal city and there is always a way to dismantle it.
Only three great scholars, and Wang, looked at him with interest.
Horus asked in a dull tone: "Rhode, what's the use of this? The remaining words can't explain anything. Maybe Adam Yarrell was seriously corrupted at that time and was about to go crazy."
Rhodes had been thinking about this question for a long time. After communicating with the Book of Knowledge and the Doll, he suddenly had a new idea. Following this idea, he had a new idea.
This idea is very bold, so he wants to tell everyone.
