"call……"
Returning to his own magic ship, Rhodes took a deep breath.
Although the incarnation of the king has left, the power of the Flame King still remains in Rhodes' mind and has not dissipated for a long time.
Just the aura of the king's incarnation suppressed the Hell Behemoth, and he did not dare to resist, and could not even feel the slightest anger. If the king's true form appeared in front of the Hell Behemoth, Rhodes was afraid that it would surrender on the spot.
Thinking of the fifth-level magic that the Flame King cast on himself before he left, Rhodes felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
"[Fire of Sin]: Level 5 fire magic. The mana consumption is unknown. The effect is unknown."
In the system log, under Rhodes' character attributes, there is an icon that will be ignored if you don't look carefully. Other than that, there is no other prompt.
Unable to rely on the system's prompts to obtain the effect of this magic, Rhodes was secretly surprised and his expression became even more serious.
There are no prompts in the system, which means that Rhodes cannot rely on the power from the system to find out the flaws in this magic.
According to the incarnation of the king, as long as Rhodes fails to complete the task, the flames that disappeared before will reappear and burn Rhodes' body to ashes.
Even if Rhodes completes the task of destroying the sanctuary as the king's incarnation said, he still cannot leave the sanctuary. Once you leave the sanctuary, the fire of sin will reappear.
What remained in the sanctuary, waiting for Rhodes, was that after the Vulcan statue was activated, it became a sacrifice for the birth of the "beast" together with all other demons.
The Flame King did not give Rhodes much choice. The only options left for Rhodes were to die now or to die after completing the mission. Rhodes, who didn't want to die now, would definitely choose the latter.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, Rhodes seemed to have gotten into trouble, which even disrupted his trajectory during the trial, forcing him to go to the shelter mentioned by the Flame King first, and then find a way to solve the current situation. Dilemma.
In the past, Rhodes relied on the power of the Great Demon's bloodline and was not afraid of all fire magic. Even magic such as the Fire of Sin Karma was unable to take effect on him. Only now did Rhodes feel the terror of the Flame King.
"Lord Eliot, are you okay?"
Just as Rhodes was thinking, Tisi's words suddenly came to his ears.
After returning to the magic ship, Tisi, with the support of Hela, immediately came to Rhodes and asked him with concern.
Looking at the flaming figure that appeared in the sky before, Tisi felt the terrifying power from that figure. What she was most worried about was naturally the Rhodes in front of her.
"Of course I'm fine, it's those Magogs who are in trouble. Hero Tisi, don't worry about me." Rhodes looked calm, patted Tisi on the shoulder and replied.
After hearing Rhodes' answer, Tisi lowered her head slightly, and her tense heart relaxed slightly.
Hela on the side did not change her attitude because of Rhode's words. She asked slightly seriously: "Elot, I feel the aura belonging to the King of Hell. If I read it correctly, it should come from jealousy. king……"
"That's just an incarnation of her, not her true body." Rhodes glanced at her and replied.
"I saw she cast some kind of magic on you. The fire magic that came from the Jealousy King is no joke." Hela said with some vigilance. "It is said that the Jealousy King is the original flame born. She is surrounded by The flames it covers far exceed all fire magic in the world."
With Hela's words, Tisi's originally relieved heart was lifted up again. She looked at Rhodes with worry, and her body couldn't help but move closer to Rhodes.
Sensing Tisi's worry, Rhodes replied helplessly: "She asked me to complete a task. We had to change our course and give priority to the nearest Shelter 52."
"What does she want you to do?" Hela immediately asked after hearing what Rhodes said. She really wanted to know why the Jealous King wanted to let Rhodes go to an ordinary shelter.
"You will understand then." Rhodes glanced at her coldly and replied in a deep voice.
Unlike Tis who is easy to fool, Hela is undoubtedly more knowledgeable and can find more problems from Rhodes' words, but Rhodes doesn't want to say anything more to her.
It was Tisi's question that made Rhodes more concerned.
"Lord Airot, how should we get to Sanctuary No. 52?" Tis asked Rhodes with some worry.
"Don't worry, I got the navigation chart given to him by the Flame King from the Fire Elf. It's not difficult to go to Shelter No. 52."
While answering Tisi's doubts, Rhodes took out the two parchments that the fire elf took out before his death.
Opening one of the parchments, what was drawn on the parchment was exactly the navigation chart Rhodes needed.
There is not much information marked on the navigation map. Apart from a small patch of terrain along the nearby Lake of Fire, there are only a few shelter locations, including the goal of Rhodes' trip, Shelter No. 52.
Looking at this navigation chart, Rhodes fell into deep thought.
If it were any other demon, after getting this nautical chart, he might frown deeply, then turn the chart up and down several times, unable to understand the contents at all.
Unlike maps that everyone can understand, nautical charts are more complicated in terms of terrain annotation and overall proportional structure. Not to mention that the nautical chart in Rhode's hand also has a symbol from the famous figure. The various marks made by the fire elves make the overall navigation chart look more messy.
From these marks, what Rhodes could understand was that it was a winding and tortuous route, but the overall direction remained unchanged, facing the route of Shelter No. 52.
At the end of the route, there was an obvious deflection, as if they were avoiding something. Unfortunately, this time, the Fire Elf could not restore the route.
The Fire Elf wanted to try to confirm his position on the Lake of Fire. The route marked by him undoubtedly explained this to Rhodes.
"What a pity..." Looking at the route on the map, Rhodes shook his head and commented in a low voice.
"What's the pity?" Tisi heard Rhode's comment. She looked at the navigation chart that Rhode spread out, with a look of deep confusion in her eyes, "Lord Airot, I can't understand it at all. The content...I must have disappointed you..."
Sensing the frustration in Tisi's words, Rhodes thought for a moment, and stretched out five hands at the same time. The two longest hands gently hugged Tisi, picked her up, and slowly placed her on Hell Behemoth. Above his head, the other two hands held both sides of the navigation chart and placed it in front of Tisi. The last hand stretched out a finger and clicked on the blank space of the navigation chart.
"Don't be discouraged, Hero Tisi. Navigation charts require professional knowledge to understand. It is normal for ordinary demons not to understand the meaning of navigation charts." Rhodes took the initiative to comfort him.
After hearing Rhode's comfort, Tis' expression relaxed and she asked softly: "Then can you understand this? Lord Ailot..."
"Of course I can understand it. I have mastered the most advanced navigation skills." Rhodes replied confidently.
As Rhodes said, with the blessing of the magic ship's characteristic [boundless divine power (pseudo)], his special skill of navigation has already reached the legendary level.
This level of navigation skills enables Rhodes to do things that other demons cannot do. As long as it is related to navigation, nothing can hinder Rhodes at this time.
In addition to god-level special skills, legendary-level special skills have reached the pinnacle of this world. Rhodes was skeptical about the existence of divine navigation skills. In Rhode's opinion, there was no room for advancement in legendary navigation skills.
"Look here. Although there is no sign on the nautical chart, the location I am pointing to is the magic dock where we set out."
Pointing to a certain point on the navigation chart at the junction of the shore and the Lake of Fire, Rhodes explained to Tisi.
Listening to Rhodes' explanation, Tisi nodded first, and then showed a surprised look: "Lord Ailot, how do you know this?"
"Through the scale of the nautical chart, and my feelings." Rhodes replied while slowly moving his fingers along the coast around the magic shipyard.
"We stayed at this magic shipyard for a long time, didn't we? We have passed by the side of the magic shipyard several times. Just by looking at the surrounding terrain and the proportion of the distance, it is enough to I confirm all this."
Tisi listened to Rhodes' story carefully, nodding her head from time to time and showing an affirmative look.
"And here." Rhode's finger stopped and landed on the road on the right side of the Magic Shipyard. "Do you still remember that when we bid farewell to the fallen and returned to the Magic Shipyard, I asked Are you running all the way to keep up with me, just to make you feel tired so that you can better utilize your heroic skills and pass this feeling of fatigue to our enemies?"
"Lord Airot..." After hearing what Rhodes said, Tis couldn't help but raise her head and glanced at the dark yellow monster, with a bit of resentment in her eyes.
Rhodes didn't notice Tisi's reaction. His attention was completely attracted by other things, and his expression became solemn.
Rhodes originally thought that Tisi's heroic specialty could be effective against any demon. Unfortunately, judging from the reaction of the incarnation of the Flame King, the situation did not seem to be that simple.
Creatures without a real body will not be affected by Tisi's heroic specialties. Rhodes has deeply remembered this.
In a sense, those elemental creatures do not have a real form and are not necessarily limited by the specialties of Tisi heroes. Rhodes still needs to make further attempts on this point.
Seeing that Rhodes was silent in thought, Tis pursed her lips and then asked: "Lord Alot, why did you say it was a pity just now?"
Noticing Tisi's confusion, Rhodes thought for a moment and asked her, "Have you seen the zigzag black line on the navigation chart that is obviously different from other signs?"
Following Rhodes' words, Tisi's eyes couldn't help but focus on the black line on the navigation chart.
The black line is very easy to identify. It is obviously different from other marks on the navigation chart. It is like using a flame to burn it out bit by bit on this not so precise navigation chart.
Recalling the previous Fire Elf, Rhodes could probably guess how he made his own marks on the navigation chart. For the fire elves, if you want to leave a mark on the navigation chart, you don't need to use any tools at all. You only need to slightly light the flame and then control the trajectory of the flame.
"I saw it, Lord Ailot." After finding the black line, Tisi explained softly to Rhodes.
"This black line represents the position that the fire elf sailed through before. The twists and turns on the navigation path represent the situation where they had to change their course."
Looking at the twists and turns of the route, which had been bent countless times, Rhodes's face became slightly solemn.
"If the purpose of those fire elves changing their course was to avoid the powerful enemies they were about to encounter, then the enemies he encountered along the way were too many, especially on the route to Sanctuary No. 54. superior……"
Unlike Tis who looked at the dark route and felt very confused, Rhodes could see more problems from every change of the fire elf's route.
On the navigation chart, the locations of five shelters are marked according to their serial numbers. From Shelter No. 50 to Shelter No. 54, they are all clearly marked on the navigation chart.
Among them, what concerned Rhodes the most was naturally the location of Shelter No. 54.
Judging from the deflection of the fire elf's route, it seems that there are a large number of magic ships sailing towards Sanctuary No. 54. Every time the fire elf encounters such a magic ship, it has to temporarily deviate from its sailing trajectory. Wait until the ship has gone away before resuming course.
After listening to Rhodes' explanation, Tisi also understood many things, but there was one thing she couldn't understand.
"I understand the meaning of this black line, but Sir Ailot, why do you say this is a pity?" Tis glanced at Rhodes and asked with some confusion.
Rhodes did not feel impatient at all because of Tisi's inquiry. He patiently answered Tisi's doubts: "Although the fire elf has been working hard to correct the route, he doesn't know what to do on this navigation chart. No matter how many signs there were, he still got his current location wrong."
Rhodes stretched out his hand and pointed at the end of the black line.
"If the last deflection of the course represents the encounter between the fire elves and us, then the end point of this black line symbolizes our current location."
Tisi nodded, but heard Rhodes continue: "This is a pity. Our location is not at the end of the black line, but further to the left from here. He worked hard to make These signs mean nothing to me."
Looking at the navigation chart on the parchment, Rhodes also made his own evaluation.
