the last king of darkness

Chapter 56 I must kill him
The Book of Knowledge once again answered his question.

Sure enough, the gold on the right side of the obelisk is divinity.

[The golden divinity comes from the order of the source, which increases the possibility of inheriting the fire of civilization, and drags the civilization that slides into the dark abyss, which will increase your divinity. 】

After reading this long passage, Rhode's heart turned cold.

Such a huge proposition is obviously not something he can do in the short term.

You give me infinite divinity first, maybe I can consider it, but you just give me such a little bit, it is very difficult for me.

Rhodes looked at the golden light that only occupied a thin layer at the bottom of the obelisk, and the feedback information on it showed:

Divinity: 55.
Only 5 copies.

But in the beginning, the golden light was far more than that, at least about 300 to 400. Rhodes encountered life and death crises in the dream twice, and both times he relied on the golden light to kill the enemy, so he consumed so much.

"No wonder."

Rhodes thought.

"The divinity is so strong, it cannot be obtained so easily."

Rhodes raised his head from the monument, not feeling particularly disappointed.

Although divinity is rare, fortunately, it does not consume much. Five divinities are enough to make five soul firewood.

At least for a while, there is no need to worry about strength issues.

After that, Rhodes learned about the function of the black altar from the Book of Knowledge.

It was originally called the Soul Altar. In addition to providing the eyes of the soul and preserving the soul, its main function is to sacrifice.

Said it was a sacrifice, but in Rhodes' view, it was more like an anatomy.

When he sacrificed the soul on the soul altar, its soul body part was absorbed by the obelisk and stored in the stele.

The spiritual part is separated and condensed into spirituality.

Rhodes tried the effect of sacrifice with the remaining dusty souls.

The dust-like light spots were distorted by inexplicable force at the fingertips, disintegrated, and disappeared, leaving behind a little bit of shining spirituality.

At the same time, there is an extra line of words in the obelisk:

Spiritless Soul: 7.
Rhodes understood instantly.

It turns out that in [Broken Blue], the item [Injection: Spiritless Soul] means this.

He only needs to burn the soul body part of the soul as firewood, and the spirit body part has another function.

It was obviously a loss to throw all my brains into it before.

"Okay, remember to sacrifice first in the future."

Spiritual material is also very important.

Rhodes glanced at his remaining stock.

8 small pieces of soul.

1 chunk of soul.

4 [Soul of the Mad Sinner]

1 [Soul of the Evil Crow]

Among them, [Soul of the Evil Crow] is very important.

When the black crow died, he dropped a piece of ashes and was picked up by Caramon.

If he can get this piece of ashes, he can make the "soul ashes" of the evil crow.

That monster had a very profound impact on him, and he and Raistlin had to fight with all their might to win.

If it can be made, it will be very useful whether it is used on the battlefield or used to resist invasion in dreams.

Moreover, it is also a "medium full soul" used to craft soul firewood.

[The soul of a mad sinner] is a weak soul, not qualified.

[The Soul of the Evil Crow] There is only one, how to choose, Rhodes has not thought about it, so he first sacrificed the small piece of soul and the big piece of soul.

A small piece of soul can decompose about 15-30 soulless souls.

A large piece can be broken down to between 60-70.

A dusty soul is only 2-3, about thirty times the difference.

So weak, it's no wonder that gray-level monsters are called dust on the battlefield.

The soul fragments of a non-level monster are thirty times stronger than it.

[The soul of a mad sinner] I will keep it temporarily to see if there is any other use.

After the sacrifice, Rhodes obtained a total of 241 spiritless souls and a group of spirits the size of a small fingernail.

It was like a group of transparent jelly, slowly wriggling on the nails, one large group was clearly gathered together, and there was a clear boundary with the small group next to it.

That's probably what it means.

Rhodes looked at it, thinking in his heart.

The book of knowledge tells me that only people have a lot of living spirituality, so this is dead?
No, no, not that way, normal spirituality and living spirituality.

Just like normal tables and live tables.

"What's the use of a living spirit?"

[You can create wraiths, ghosts, and puppets for brainwashing, mind control, or rituals related to the spirit world. 】

It's really evil... I shouldn't need it for the time being, maybe the black priest's blasphemy ritual will use this.

Afterwards, Rhodes stored the spirituality in a chest of drawers under the stone platform according to the suggestion of the Book of Knowledge.

This is the substance that is most prone to pollution and deterioration, and must be properly preserved, otherwise it will cause unknown disasters.

Finally, Rhodes turned his gaze to the back of the obelisk—there is where the invasion text appeared.

When he touched the surface of the stele with his forehead, he saw more detailed text:
After 23 rounds of sunset, the invasion will come.

Warning: You are about to cross the river of eternal death, and the invasion will produce unknown changes.

Possible invaders: Immortals, Nightmare, Spiritbinders, Dead River's Red Hunter.

Possible Invasion Environment: Nightmare Night.

Invasion and escape: no.

Invasion Threat: Mortal.

-

The flashing bright red word "must die" made Rhodes calm down a lot, and he is far from being able to get carried away with complacency.

If you don't step up your efforts now and prepare for the invasion in 23 days, it will be too late to regret it before you die.

This time, there was no Jin Guang to save him.

Rhodes re-read all the information obtained today, and made a preliminary arrangement:
[-]. He is not the murderer. The murderer is the doomsday sect who is looking for fragments. He can safely and boldly assist the investigation of the Internal Affairs Tribunal.

Of course, some information that is not suitable for disclosure can be investigated independently.

[-]. Dreamland can obtain more buildings and functions by looking for fragments. Near the fragments, he will sense the call, but be careful of the doomsday cultists who are also looking for fragments.

[-]. To ignite a new soul star requires a special soul, spirituality and firewood, the key lies in the "special soul".

[-]. Improving the potential of the stars requires the stars to add soul firewood in the extreme burning state. Gathering the materials for the soul firewood as soon as possible is his current priority.

[-]. Get more humanity as quickly as possible.

Sixth, the spirit-sealing bullet, the ashes of the soul, and the guardian of darkness should be manufactured as much as possible. These are all his trump cards to save his life.

In order to achieve these six goals, Rhodes must hunt more monsters to obtain their souls and ashes.

This can be done with patrol missions.

At the same time, he must perform better in order to get the first-level "Golden Worth Star" medal. In addition to [-] silver cables and a large amount of resource rewards, free access rights are essential.

He could consider buying a house outside the academy as a new base, so that he could hide things that were not easy to see.

Other materials can be bought with money or credits, and there are also personal distribution materials that can be won.

It is also necessary to frantically brush humanity, which is the material that is most in demand.

Finally, there is still a lot of knowledge in the book of knowledge, as long as he has time, he will return to the dream to learn.

Mastering the ancient language more proficiently can increase the efficiency of learning.

Of course, all of this must be done in a safe environment.

This kind of mistake today is absolutely not allowed to be repeated.

With his thoughts fixed, Rhodes was no longer confused, put the big book back on the shelf, squeezed the symbol, and returned to the material world.

It was quiet in the dormitory, and no one came to disturb me.

The students were still in class, and they had to patrol the gate of the college in the afternoon, but he asked for leave today, so he didn't have to go.

Rhodes hadn't closed his eyes much for two days. He put his hands flat on his chest, and quickly fell into a dreamless sleep, recovering his spirits for the next challenge.

-

King Trorian.

Uptown.

Internal Tribunal.

The disappearance of Alexis, the consul of the second largest district in the outer city, and her confirmation as a doomsday cultist caused a great commotion. The ruling chief, Lucian, rushed back from the king's district with three justices to deal with the matter.

The consul of a large district is not a very low position.

Although a non-Firebearer can also be an Archon, this does not overshadow its importance as the Chief Executive of a population of over a million.

Wangcheng is a very huge city. Since the establishment of the Lost Wall 500 years ago, it has been destined to be an unprecedented human settlement.

The sense of security that the high wall gives to humans is incomparable to anything other than fire. Although Wangcheng has implemented a strict household registration system, its population has inevitably swelled to 3000 million.

Coupled with a large number of black household registrations, it is generally believed that the number of people living in Wangcheng for a long time is between 500 million and 4000 million.

The outer urban area is the most populous area, and any of its large areas has a population of more than one million.

The governor of such a large region turned out to be a doomsday cultist, which made everyone feel terrified.

If he sabotages deliberately, the loss caused is absolutely unimaginable.

But what is even more incredible is how did she become the consul?

In further investigation, they discovered more incredible phenomena——

No resume was found for her.

There are no traces of her existence in the neighborhood or the affairs hall of the community.

No one knew how she was promoted, but no one doubted, nor was she surprised by her youth, as if it was something as natural as breathing.

But when the truth was revealed, they woke up again like a dream, and found all the abnormalities at once.

The investigation ended quickly, and the three justices came to the top of the Judgment Tower with all the investigation information.

The ruling chief, Lucian, was standing on a high tower, overlooking the royal city.

His body was as fragile and small as a dead branch, but no one dared to underestimate the strength in this body. The three justices respectfully handed over the investigation report.

But Lucian didn't answer.

"I noticed the twisting power of fate. Someone tampered with the established life and replaced the trajectory of the original consul."

The three justices looked at each other, feeling incomprehensible.

"Master Chief."

A giant-like justice bent so deeply that his forehead almost touched the ground.

"If the Doomsday Cultists have such abilities, why don't they choose a higher position?"

Lucien didn't answer, still looking down at the royal city under the majestic black mist.

The tiny gleams of the countless houses are like dust at the feet of dark monsters.

The higher you stand, the more darkness you can see.

This is really tragic.

Lucian sighed inaudibly.

"Find the former consul who lost his life, and we will know the answer from him."

The three justices said in unison: "Yes! Your Excellency Lucian."

-

outer city.

A dark sewer corner.

Four people in black robes gathered together.

"I'm exposed."

A female voice said in a low voice, with an unconcealable weakness in her voice, but it did not affect the hatred and anger squeezed out of her teeth.

"It must be that bastard! He saw my face! The sacrilege ritual must have been destroyed by him too! The action against the redstone village relocation team must also be because of his failure! He stole our power! Disturbed the coming of the gods! "

"Must kill him!"
