the last king of darkness

Chapter 37 My Goddess
What Rhodes was most worried about was actually finding out that the murderer was himself at the end of the investigation.

In order to avoid the tragedy that I killed myself, he must first find out the truth.

Only in this way can he survive this crisis.

It is also because of this that the first-level "Golden Worth Star" medal must be obtained.

Only by leaving the academy can he start investigations, verify the clues he has obtained, find more backers, and plunder more souls.

The actual combat class in the academy has a time limit, once it is over, the source of the soul will be cut off again.

When the soul confession is cut off, the stars will gradually go out, his strength will decline, and his value will decrease, which will trigger a chain reaction. In the end, he will either become an abandoned child and be interrogated to extract his soul, or die from the invasion in the dream.

Therefore, he must not only take this opportunity to plunder enough souls, but also figure out the mechanism of the obelisk and the secrets in the dream.

Rhodes put the fifty rounds of real silver bullets that he entrusted the green hair to buy into his bosom, and three packs of red powder that had just been issued—this is the most useful potion he thinks after actual combat.

Tonight, he must kill more monsters and get more souls.

"I still need to find out what happened to that ex-girlfriend."

On the double-decker hearse bus, Rhodes silently made up his mind.

Same as last night, the hearse landed at Iron Cross Street Square again, and Rhodes, led by the driver, walked into the Department of Defense in Iron Cross Street.

The room was full of people, all the students who had come to hand over the tasks in the first half of the night and those who were waiting to be assigned the tasks in the second half of the night.

It can be clearly seen that there is a big gap between the students in the first half of the night and the students in the second half of the night. The latter is obviously much more sophisticated, while the former are mostly dressed as students and are led by teachers.

The chief of defense with a big scar on his face and several clerks were very busy.

On one side, Rhodes found the three of Raistlin who came in another hearse, and they were arguing fiercely about a topic:
"Is it better to add honey or salt to grass potato jam?"

Rhodes listened silently for a while, and found that it was the dispute between the sweet party and the salty party of the foreign version of tofu brain.

This topic is very boring. Tofu nao does not contain sugar, so is it still tofu nao?
Rhodes coughed, joined their quarrel, and silently bridged the estrangement caused by the day's separation.

By the time the task was assigned, the atmosphere between them was no different from yesterday.

The patrol area assigned to them by the Secretary of Defense has not changed. It is still Baihua Street, Stone Street, and all the way to the fifth square. The whistle and flares are still stuffed into Rhodes' hands, but there is a special warning:
"Today is the night of the dark moon. You must be careful. If there is any abnormality, please use the flare or whistle immediately. The watchman Viri will quickly come to support you."

Rhodes saw the watchman wearing half an iron mask at a glance.

He stood aside with a cold face and said nothing.

After the lesson of Old Blind Moore during the day, Rhode already knew that the guards were all combatants above level [-], and Raistlin and the others had just become official combatants, that is, level [-].

And I am still a combatant reserve, without a rank.

Rhodes opened his spiritual vision and soul eye, and saw his soul.

It was a light-colored shadow, trembling slightly like water waves, and vibrating like a low-pitched tuba.

But the waveform of the human soul is more complicated, and the psychic power does not work all the time, so he couldn't tell how strong he was for a while.

Turning his head to look at the chief of defense, his soul waveform was like a lion, wandering and roaring violently.

The chief of defense noticed his gaze, raised his hands, and posed in a fit posture.

"How? Isn't it mighty?"

Rhodes turned off his spiritual vision and soul eyes in embarrassment, and praised against his will: "Of course, no one is more powerful than you."

The Defense Minister laughed loudly:
"You are right. The female teachers in the college must like such a man very much. You are a special student, and you must have come into contact with many teachers. Introduce one to me when you have time."

He patted Rhodes on the shoulder.

"Hurry up and perform the mission, don't be late, you must pay attention during the patrol, and use the signal flare immediately if you encounter danger."

Rhodes repeatedly agreed, and hurriedly boarded the horseless cart with Raistlin to patrol the area.

On the way there, Caramon asked in a low voice, "Rod, you don't like men, do you? Let me first declare that I don't engage in this business."

Rhodes took out the crystal ball: "Do you think I am like this kind of person?"

The three laughed together, and Raistlin patted Caramon's shoulder: "Your girlfriend is really a good person."

Caramon sneered and said, "It's as if you've seen it, except Brother Rhodes, who didn't listen to what he said?"

The short Iger was sitting on the bench, flicking his feet: "But Brother Rhodes' description is as if the picture appeared in front of our eyes. Hehe, your girlfriend is really very generous."

Rhodes' heart moved, and he took the opportunity to ask, "Can you tell me a little bit about your girlfriend? I'm curious."

Raistlin grabbed his neck and said with a smile, "What do you want to do? You've taken a fancy to Donna? Although she is indeed beautiful, I don't think she is suitable for you."

"That's right!" Caramon gritted his teeth and said, "That slut is only worthy of listing on Red Square Street, the kind that doesn't ask for money."

Rhodes quickly explained: "No, no, I'm just curious. I feel that this kind of thing is difficult for ordinary women to do."

Raistlin rubbed his chin: "You're right, why did she do this? She didn't want to get along with Caramon, so she kicked him off. Why did she give him a crystal ball?"

Iger shouted: "Yes! Could it be that she wants to make fun of you for being small, short and fast, and that you can't satisfy her?"

Caramon's entire face seemed to be cooked, and he said angrily: "You make fun of me like this again, I'm angry! I haven't even touched her hand!"

Iger clapped his hands: "That's right! She must be laughing at you for being ungrateful! You don't even touch your hands, it's meaningless!"

Caramon yelled, "Shut up, you little man!"

Iger jumped up instantly and punched him in the belly button.

"Your grandpa is a size seven!"

Rhodes hurriedly intervened to bring the topic back on track: "Tell me about her situation, maybe we can analyze the reason from it. Although we are separated, we must at least know why."

Caramon was stupefied for a moment, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and said:
"On the day I met her, there was a smoky rain and mist floating under the holy white tree, and sparkling waves shone on the lake. She was like a goddess from a lotus leaf boat..."

"Her white and tender body trembled suddenly..." Raistlin directly repeated a passage of Rhodes' words, completely destroying Caramon's artistic conception.

There was a mournful roar from the carriage.

"You all bully me! I won't say anything!"
