In the huge blue fire, the soul firewood is still vaguely visible, like the core of the bonfire.
As soon as Rhodes thought, the world turned upside down in an instant, and the pure black night sky disappeared. He was standing in front of the stone tablet, pressing his forehead against the tablet.
He raised his head and touched the monument with his fingers.
Darkness once again filled the monument, and stars emerged.
Now, the blue stars are much brighter than the dark red stars, and their intensity far exceeds them.
But the position of the blue stars is just "blazing fire".
Rhodes frowned. He now knows that the status of soul stars is divided into five levels.
"Unburned fire" is ashes, stars that have not been ignited.
"Gloomy Fire"
"Fire"
"Golden Fire"
"Eternal Fire"
Only when it reaches the eternal fire will the star's state be fixed at "eternal burning".
And intensity not only represents the strength of the stars, but also the strength of his soul.
[Dark Devourer] is so much more powerful than [Frigid Blue], why is its strength only 30?
There is no answer to this question in the Book of Knowledge.
Rhodes recalled the many abnormalities that occurred when he first lit it, and could only conclude that [Dark Devourer] is a very special star, and everything about it is exceptional.
According to the information provided by the Book of Knowledge:
After adding soul firewood, the stars will have a burning core, which will greatly increase the burning efficiency.
After that, just continue to inject fuel. When the intensity increases to a certain limit, the stars will break through the barrier, increase their potential, and finally reach the "eternal fire".
After reaching the "Eternal Fire", the state of the stars is fixed, and no more fuel can be injected, and it can only be "quantified".
Regarding "quantification", the explanation of the Book of Knowledge is:
[Making the soul star reach its final form, spreading its power and affecting the spiritual world.]
Rhodes hasn't figured out the concept of the spiritual world yet, but it's obvious that this is not what he can do now.
He has never even heard of what is needed for "quantification".
But.
Rhodes quickly thought of another question.
[Bitter Blue] has only reached the "blazing fire" level now, and is far from reaching the constant burning state of the "eternal fire".
Its intensity will continue to weaken.
That is to say, if he cannot increase the strength of the star to the highest limit at once, its strength will continue to decrease, and he will need to add more soulless souls.
However, if he kept his soul, wouldn't there be a long vacuum period?
This is troublesome.
Rhodes had to ask the Book of Knowledge for help again.
Its answer is simple:
【Add humanity】
Rhodes was moved in his heart and asked again: "What are the functions of human nature?"
[The humanity in the human side of the obelisk can improve sanity, enhance resistance to madness and dementia, and increase resistance to dark erosion]
[The extracted human nature can be used as a making material or as an ingredient to add to the fire, and can be added to the soul firewood to prevent the loss of the power of the fire]
That’s it!
No wonder the plague monster’s wail didn’t affect me at that time.
It turns out it’s because I’m very humane.
It seems that I should store more in the obelisk, so that I don't have to be afraid of those strange and weird effects.
The best thing is that human nature still has this function.
Rhodes was very happy, he no longer had to worry about having extra humanity that would be useless.
Suddenly, he thought of the flower of humanity again.
When I came to the side of the obelisk, I saw a black flower at the foot of the obelisk.
"Flower of Humanity"
Condensed from human nature, it is an extremely precious thing, used to make powerful spells and prepare rare sanity elixirs.
You can also crush it to get 10 humanity.
——
Of course it is impossible to crush it.
After reading its information, Rhodes carefully picked up the black flower and put it into the storage.
A lot of materials have been stored here. In addition to the ones he obtained in the dream, there are also many he bought in the market area.
Because an unknown kind person gave him a hunter's license for free, Rhodes was able to save 10,000 silver cords and purchase a large amount of the materials he needed, and now things are progressing so smoothly.
Well, if you meet him in the future, you should thank him very much.
Later, Rhodes extracted a piece of humanity and added it to Blue Star.
The fire of the stars becomes stable instantly, and a human nature can last for a day.
And when converted, it's only ten points of humanity.
I go and have in-depth exchanges with Kassan every day, and it goes beyond this.
Haha, it’s so simple.
Now, the only thing I have to do is to brush up the soulless souls and add soulless souls without thinking, and the stars will quickly become stronger until the "Eternal Fire".
Thinking of this, Rhodes came to the soul altar and simply sacrificed the last four [complete souls of crazy sinners].
The fire of the soul is twisted in the hand and divided by the invisible force. Its soul part is absorbed by the obelisk and stored in the obelisk; the spiritual part is separated and condensed into spirituality;
A total of 471 soulless souls, 5 multiple spiritualities, and 4 frenzied traits were obtained.
"Frenzy Trait"
Condensation with "crazy" properties.
Rhodes frowned.
He remembered that the soul characteristic of the "mad sinner" was madness. Was this the soul characteristic of the "crazy sinner" that was extracted from it?
Can this also work?
How many things are hidden in the soul?
But the price for this "Book of Knowledge" is very high, one hundred radiance stones.
Why don't you grab it?
One silver cord can buy 3-5 red stones, and one shining stone costs 5,500 silver cords. They are not of the same level at all.
There was no other way, Rhodes could only write down these questions, and planned to ask the teacher in the future. Mina was said to have a close relationship with the scholar, and maybe he could ask her.
Rhodes directly added all the soulless souls of 471 into [Bitter Blue].
The blue fire became more intense, and its intensity suddenly increased to 87.
Rhodes' soul strength also became 117.
The strength has increased by about 10, with an average of 47 increased by 1, which is much stronger than before.
The effect of "Soul Firewood" is too strong.
In the blink of an eye, my soul strength was three times what it was before.
Now if I go to the Industrial Machinery Research Institute for testing, will my psychic powers be tripled?
Rhodes is full of confidence.
Now, if I look at Invasion again, it should not be "certain to die".
He knows very well that the only criterion for any evaluation provided by dreams is the difference in soul strength between the two parties.
Now that his soul strength has increased so much, the threat level must have dropped significantly.
Rhodes came to the back of the obelisk and touched the surface of the obelisk with his forehead. The blood-like words fell directly from his eyes and were reflected on his retina.
Invasion!
Invasion!
Invasion!
After nine sunsets, the invasion will come.
Warning: You are about to leave the Dark Abyss, and "Guardian of Darkness" will not be able to be produced.
Possible invaders: Eternal Death Spirit, Nightmare, Soulbinder Premus, Dead River's Hunting Red Spirit Tug.
Possible invasion environment: Nightmare Night.
Invasion Escape: No.
Invasion threat: death.
——
What?
Rhodes almost suspected that he had seen it wrong.
Or "Death"?
Is the strength of my soul fake?
Or am I too weak? There is no difference between ants and strong ants to the incoming invaders?
Rhode's heart suddenly went cold.
There was only a tiny bit of golden light left in the two life-saving efforts. According to previous memories, it takes at least a hundred points to kill an enemy with golden light. He simply didn’t have enough, and he couldn’t get the golden light——
It requires you to enhance the confidence and strength of the entire human race. With Rhodes' current strength, it is probably equivalent to a chicken pecking away at a mountain of rice.
He has already experienced the word "mortal" once. The Plague Demon's soul is "mortal". Even if it is seriously injured, if Rhodes challenges it alone, it will never survive the second second.
If the invading monster is about as strong as the Plague Demon, then am I dead?
What to do?
The only way Rhodes could think of was to use the remaining nine days to brush hard.
If you can get thousands or even tens of thousands of soulless souls, maybe you still have a chance to survive.
If you prepare various supplies, medicines, weapons and items in advance, your chances of survival will be greater.
That's right.
Rhodes felt a surge of pride in his heart.
I don't believe in "must die".
OK!
For the next nine days, I will live in the sewer and eat all my shit for you!
With strong determination, Rhodes returned to the material world and instantly fell into a dreamless sleep.
Early the next morning, Rhodes went out.
The lights of the college are misty and have not been fully lit yet. The breeze blowing from the lake gives it a rather early morning feeling.
But Rhodes was not in a sad mood. He went directly to a dormitory building and found Hines who had gotten up early in the morning to take care of his hair.
"What's the matter?" Hines was fixing each hair according to the predetermined bending rate. The heavy work made him a little grumpy.
"You said I could come to you if I have anything."
"Yes, besides borrowing money, you know, my maintenance solution is too expensive."
"I would like to take nine days off."
"Okay, the Ash Digger School has been contacted, let's go now."
——
This was probably the message given to him by Chief Dean Theodore.
The impact is not big. If it is done well, people from the school can become his wage earners.
Rhodes immediately went to the market area and used the remaining 4,500 silver cords to buy 5 grams of star ruby powder, 300 real silver bullets, and 30 thunder stones.
Ten thousand silver cords were officially spent.
He became a pauper again.
"Perhaps we can sell the rewarded herbal medicine and holy white tree fruit."
These are controlled products and illegal trading is not allowed.
But as we all know, the illegal ones are the most expensive.
Green herbal elixirs and holy white tree fruits are both items that directly enhance strength, but they are of no use to Rhodes because he actually has neither fire nor the ability to practice spiritual energy. He has already tried it, and the practice of spiritual energy is of no use to him at all.
He couldn't absorb the potions that enhanced his spiritual power. He drank as much as he could, and in the end, Rhodes secretly gave them to Wayne and Zales.
Therefore, after obtaining the "Jinworth Star", he kept these two items specifically to see if they could be exchanged for a better price.
For such a precious thing, one hundred thousand silver cords shouldn’t be a problem, right?
The thunder stone only costs thirty silver cords. With one hundred thousand silver cords, I will set up a mine array and blow up the monster to death.
Of course, Rhodes has not yet found a channel for this, and he is not sure whether this black market really exists.
The risks are also very high. The consequences of illegal transactions are capital punishment. It is best not to take action until the end.
Rhodes delivered the purchased items to the dreamland in batches, and then returned to the dreamland himself and came to the stone platform.
He is going to make [Spirit-Sealing Bullet].
Rhodes placed ten grams of real silver bullets, three parts of spirituality, one part of humanity, and one gram of star ruby powder on the stone platform.
With a slight click, the big hand flew out again, grabbing all the materials together and kneading them frantically.
A moment later, ten rusty bullets fell.
This is a true silver bullet with a spirit-sealing effect, which can hinder the enemy's spiritual energy and force the enemy to reveal its flaws.
Since Rhodes only had six spirits in total, he only made twenty spirit-sealing bullets.
This is his trump card.
Rhodes returned to the material world and carried ten thunder stones, fifty real silver bullets, and ten spirit-sealing bullets on his body.
Then put the poisonous pansy juice, red powder, and spiritual tree dew on one side of your waist.
Everything is ready.
Subsequently, he followed the address on the letter and went to the teaching area to find the ash digger's station in the college.
