Chapter 501 Unfinished Missions
Under the gaze of a large group of murlocs, Rhodes reached the top of the altar again, and he put his hand on the stone pillar.

Transparent ripples rippled around his palm, and he heard the thoughts of those murlocs again.

"What's that glowing thing above? Do you want to swim over and have a look? Let's forget it..."

"What saved me just now?"

"Is that the god the patriarch said?"

"Why is it close to the altar?"

……

Rhodes listened quietly, he now roughly knew what was going on with these murlocs, and he tried to inject his spiritual power into the stone pillar.

"I am the god you believe in...

The messenger who showed you the way has died in battle, and now I want to re-elect my spokesperson in the mortal world..."

Rhodes tried to slow down his speaking speed as much as possible, because he clearly remembered that in every game he played, whether it was a demon god or other gods, the speaking speed was very slow, and he couldn't skip it.

After saying this, Rhodes floated above the altar without speaking, listening to the thoughts of these murlocs.

"Is the patriarch finally dead? We can finally live a good life, no, the evil god who bewitched the patriarch is still alive, it is the real original sin..."

"Damn evil god, you still want to continue to enslave us..."

"Oh, is there still no hope at all?"

……

After getting this information, Rhodes understood what this murloc group was all about.

Their patriarch, that is, the evil god that Rhodes killed just now, should have created an illusory image like the Lord of Radiance to gain the belief of these murlocs.

After all, these murlocs are very familiar with it, and it is difficult to have an aura and keep it mysterious in front of familiar people.

However, it is still somewhat different from the practice of the Lord of Radiance. The Lord of Radiance uses the real sun to create an illusory god in order to gain the power of faith.

The image created by the evil murloc has no real basis, and even ordinary murlocs don't know its image. This is a good thing for Rhodes, and he can use this to usurp the followers of the evil murloc.

"I have heard your thoughts, and I now announce that all affairs in your ethnic group will be decided by all of you in the future.

You elect 11 people to form a council, which will replace your original patriarch, and you must abide by the final decision of the council.

Every year that passes, I come here again for the election of new members of Parliament.

But I have a request, you can't step out of this river, and you can't hurt any human beings. Rhodes said slowly, his voice echoed in the minds of every murloc.

When the murlocs below heard Rhodes' voice, they all showed doubts. They couldn't understand the meaning of Rhodes' words for a while.

Some murlocs with good brains still figured out what Rhodes meant after thinking for a while.

"Continue to believe in me, I will lead you on a bright path, otherwise all that awaits you is destruction." Rhodes continued, "If the council abuses power like your patriarch and shouts my name, I will It will make them experience the most painful torture."

Rhodes was too lazy to manage these murlocs, so he proposed a more democratic parliamentary system and let them manage themselves.

If these murlocs couldn't provide him with the power of faith, he would definitely kill them all. After all, they were all alien races, and they might even threaten the status of human beings one day in the future.

"Now, it's up to you to decide the future of the ethnic group." After Rhode finished speaking, he removed his hand from the stone pillar.

The originally polluted power of faith in the stone pillar has been absorbed by the system, and now the newly generated pure power of faith will automatically enter his body without his contact.

This should have something to do with his real body appearing here, and there is no need for something like an altar as a medium.

After seeing several murlocs starting to organize elections, Rhodes slowly went upstream.

Not long after, he got out of the river, stood on the bank of the river, let the flames ignite on his body, and the river water on his body was instantly evaporated.

He lowered his head and asked about the smell on his body, and there was still a little smell left by rotten water.

Rhodes took off his clothes, took out the wooden bucket, rinsed his body, and put on a new set of clothes.

After burning the clothes stained with rotten water, Rhodes ran towards Strom City.

He turned on the system, and he only completed one of the tasks issued by the system. He only killed the evil murloc god, but did not destroy the murloc's lair.

So he can't receive the task's reward now.

But Rhodes is not in a hurry, the power of faith that those murlocs can provide is definitely more than the system rewards.

After a while, if the task doesn't disappear from the taskbar, he still has a way to complete it.

He can let those murlocs move to another place, and then destroy their current lair before they establish a new residence, which should be regarded as completing the remaining objectives of the mission.

It didn't take long for Rhodes to return to Strom City. He used the mage ball to find Missel's position and rushed over.

"The matter on my side has been resolved, how are you handling it here?" Rhodes found Misel on the pier.

"It's okay, the surviving residents are basically willing to go to your territory by boat, they have always heard that the residents in your territory are doing well.

It's just because they don't want to part with their property and friends here, so they haven't moved there.

Now that they have pretty much nothing left, they think it would be a good idea to go to your domain and start over. ’ replied Michelle.

"Are there enough boats?" Rhodes asked.

He felt that he seemed to be the biggest winner of this incident, and the only loss was that part of the pier of Riverview City was burned down by the murlocs, which was nothing compared to his gains.

"It should be enough. There are only less than 1000 people left in the entire city." Misel replied, "What did you encounter there? Why do I feel that your temperament seems to have changed a lot."

"To put it simply, let the remaining murlocs transfer their belief in that evil god to me, or in other words, they now think that they have always believed in me." Rhodes explained.

"By the way, I remember that you said that after this matter is over, you have something to say to me..." Rhodes said again.

"Let's talk about it later, let's make arrangements for the people in this city first." Michelle turned his head and looked at the merchant ships on the river.

"Forget it, you don't need to tell me, I already know what you want to tell me." Rhode smiled.

"What do you want to say?" Michelle asked.

"Let's talk about it later, let's make arrangements for the people in this city first." Rhodes imitated Missel's previous tone and repeated her words.

Then he quickly fled here with a smile on his face.
