In the woods outside Moth City, Rhodes waited quietly without any anxiety in his heart.
What made Rhodes a little relieved was that after coming to the illusion, his body, which was always hungry, was relieved because he was no longer affected by the Gluttony Contract. He no longer felt real hunger, which also saved Rhodes a lot of money. trouble.
For some reason, when he came to the illusion, Rhodes felt a little itchy on his left shoulder. Looking down, he saw that the pustule that had grown after receiving the inheritance became more swollen, as if something was about to change.
It's a pity that Rhodes doesn't know how to use this unique ability, or extra power. The information about the inheritance mission has not been completely revealed until now. Perhaps only as Rhodes' body size further improves, the pustules Only then will the power be revealed.
Rhodes, who was in the illusion and had no sense of hunger, could not improve his attributes like the outside world, no matter how much food he ate, which made Rhodes feel a pity.
Shaking his head, there were still a large number of demon corpses outside the magic shipyard. Unfortunately, with Rhodes' current strength, he could not defeat Anyaveli who had those demon corpses. Maybe he could only wait until he completed this trial before thinking about it. Other ways.
He was just sitting in the bushes, thinking about the situation of this trial, and observing the people outside the city. Not long after, while Rhodes was observing, the crowd outside the city suddenly increased.
People gathered in the open space outside the city and were talking quietly. Judging from their clothes, they were just ordinary civilians. According to Rhode's previous observations, there should be a small wooden frame where these civilians gathered.
The abnormal changes that occurred in front of him immediately attracted Rhodes' attention. Regardless of the danger of being discovered, he came to the edge of the bush and took cover to observe carefully.
Fortunately, at this time, the attention of nearby civilians was all attracted by the wooden frame they surrounded. Rhodes, who was hiding by the bushes, was inconspicuous and was not discovered by these people.
Waiting for a moment in the woods, he saw that more and more civilians were gathering there, and the guards at the city gate were also lax. Rhodes just had the idea of taking this opportunity to enter Moth City, but he stopped his actions.
Following the words of a luxuriously dressed old man in the crowd, bursts of black smoke soon rose from the wooden frame in the center. Under the ignition of several guards, a blazing flame ignited below the wooden frame.
It was only now that Rhodes noticed that a human being was tied up in the wooden frame at some point. Under the crowd, Rhodes didn't notice it before due to the distance.
Without the blessing of Eagle Eye, Rhodes' field of vision is extremely limited, and the things he can observe are the same as other creatures.
No matter how the body's basic attributes are improved, it cannot affect the observation field of vision. Only a few treasures and the existence of Eagle Eye can help with this.
Also due to the distance, Rhodes couldn't hear the old man's words clearly. He didn't understand why those people wanted to burn the man among them, but it probably had something to do with the heretics mentioned in the mission introduction.
Burning heretics was a punishment used in ancient Erathia. In the most glorious era of Erathia, both necromancers and pagans would tremble in fear when mentioning this kind of punishment. Unfortunately, as the glory of Erathia ceased, the power of mages gradually showed up in the world. This kind of punishment Also forgotten.
Rhodes did not expect that he could see this special punishment again in the illusion at this time, and this meant that the illusion was likely to be the most glorious era of Erathia.
In addition to the creatures about to be burned to death, Rhodes noticed the defensive force on the edge of the wooden frame.
On the periphery of the crowd, there were many well-equipped Crusaders wearing full-body armor, who had already taken the strictest protection. In addition, even among the civilians, there were a few secret sentries with hidden identities, who were constantly communicating with their eyes.
This discovery immediately made Rhodes realize something.
To be burned to death by nearby humans, the person in the wooden frame was most likely a heretic, the sinner who allowed Rhodes to complete his mission.
But at this time, Rhodes did not dare to approach the heretic. Judging from the surrounding circumstances, the purpose of dragging this heretic outside the city for execution was not just to burn him to death, but to draw out other heretic accomplices hiding in the dark.
After discovering this, Rhodes calmed down and observed in the forest with peace of mind.
There was plenty of time to complete the mission, and there was no need for him to take such a big risk when the mission had just begun and no useful information had yet been collected.
The black smoke became thicker and thicker, and the man on the wooden frame struggled violently, but it seemed to be useless. The flames had reached the man's ankles, but Rhodes was waiting quietly.
At this moment, he seemed to have discovered something, and Rhodes felt happy. A sudden commotion broke out among the crowd, caused by several dark red-skinned creatures.
Seeing that the man was about to be burned to death, several nearby civilians stopped pretending. After the human skin cracked, the dark red body underneath was revealed, which was a sign of the devil.
Rhodes is very familiar with this form of demons. They are the abyss demons.
The appearance of the demon caused the crowd to flee, and some even fled in the direction of Rhodes. After the Crusaders outside the field discovered these demons, they immediately rushed forward with weapons. Relying on their numerical advantage and the sharp swords in their hands, they temporarily put these demons at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, the purpose of these demons' appearance was not to eliminate the nearby Crusaders. With their strength, they could not do this. The reason why they chose to reveal their identities was to rescue the man on the wooden frame.
Under the combined force of the abyss demons, the wooden frame in the field fell aside. These demons resisted the burning of the flames and released the man on the wooden frame.
In the bushes on the side, after Rhodes casually dealt with a few humans who might have discovered him, his expression suddenly changed, and he felt a powerful aura approaching.
According to Rhodes' estimation, the strength corresponding to this aura should have reached the level of high-level creatures, and is only one step away from legendary creatures.
If he were here in person, Rhodes would naturally not be afraid, but for him now, even the previous high-level demons would have a hard time defeating them, let alone such high-level creatures that are about to enter the legendary level.
Unexpectedly, creatures of this level would appear in the Sin Karma Trial, and he didn't know how many high-level creatures there were behind him, which also made Rhodes vigilant.
