What Rhodes was most worried about was actually finding out at the end of the investigation that the murderer was himself.
In order to avoid the tragedy of "I killed myself", it is best for him to find out the truth first, and at the same time, he must show his value as much as possible and find more backers.
Only in this way can he survive this crisis.
Because of this, he had to obtain the first-level "Kingworth Star" medal and gain free access to the academy.
Only by leaving the academy can he launch an investigation, verify the clues he obtained, find more backers, and obtain more souls more freely.
The last point is the most important.
The practical classes in the academy have a time limit. Once it ends, the source of the soul is cut off.
If the soul is cut off, the stars will gradually extinguish, his strength will decrease, and his value will decrease, which will trigger a chain reaction. In the end, he will either become an abandoned son and have his soul extracted, or die from the invasion in the dream.
Therefore, he not only had to take advantage of this opportunity to plunder enough souls, but he also had to figure out the mechanism of the stars in the obelisk.
Of course, the premise of all this is to avoid being convicted before he gets enough chips.
Although he now has the support of three grand adjudicators, he cannot take it lightly.
Rhodes put into his arms the fifty rounds of real silver bullets that he had just entrusted Green Hair to buy, and also pocketed three packs of the red powder that had just been distributed - this was the most useful medicine that he thought after actual practice.
After last night's actual combat, he already had some confidence and experience.
Tonight, he must kill more monsters and obtain more souls.
"We also need to find out what happened to that ex-girlfriend."
On the double-decker hearse bus, Rod silently made up his mind.
Exactly like last night, the hearse once again landed at Iron Cross Street Square, and Rhodes walked into the Defense Department of Iron Cross Street under the leadership of the driver.
The room was packed with people, including students who had come to hand over tasks after the first half of the night and students who were waiting to be assigned tasks for 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 are obviously much more sophisticated, while the former are mostly dressed as students and led by teachers.
The defense chief and several clerks, who had a big scar on their faces, were very busy.
Rhodes found the three Raistlins coming in another hearse on the other side. They were arguing fiercely about a topic:
"Is it better to put honey or salt in grass potato jam?"
Rhodes listened silently for a while and realized that it was the otherworldly version of Tofu Nao's battle between the sweet party and the salty party.
This topic is very boring. If there is no sugar in tofu noodle, is it still tofu noodle?
Rhodes coughed and joined in their quarrel, silently bridging the unfamiliarity caused by a day apart.
By the time the task was assigned, the atmosphere between them was no different from yesterday.
The patrol area assigned to them by the Defense Chief has not changed. It is still Baihua Street, Stone Street, and all the way to the Fifth Square. They still put the whistle and signal bomb into Rhode's hands, but he gave a special instruction:
"Today is the night of the dark moon. You must be careful. If there is any abnormality, please use the signal flare or whistle immediately. The watchman Wei Li will come quickly to support you."
Rhodes saw the guard wearing half an iron mask at a glance. He stood aside with a cold face and said nothing.
After Old Blind Moore's class during the day, Rhodes already knew that the watchmen were all combatants above level seven. Raistlin and the others had just become official combatants, that is, level nine, and he was still a combatant reserve. There was no class.
Rhodes instantly opened his spiritual vision and soul eyes, and at a glance he saw that his soul waveform was the same as that of the low-pitched tuba, which was very similar to old blind Moore's.
However, the human soul waveform is relatively complex, and he cannot tell what level of psychic power he has for the moment.
Turning 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 in a strong posture, and the lion roared more frequently:
"How is it? Isn't it very powerful?"
Rhodes turned off his spiritual vision and soul eye with some 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. Please introduce one to me when you have time."
He patted Rhodes on the shoulder.
"Go and perform your mission quickly. Don't be late. Be careful during patrols. If you encounter danger, use flares immediately."
Rhodes agreed repeatedly and hurriedly boarded the horseless carriage heading to the patrol area with Raistlin.
On the way there, Caramon asked in a low voice: "Rhode, you don't like men, do you? Let me declare first, I don't do this."
Rhodes took out the crystal ball: "Do you think I am this kind of person?"
The three of them laughed together, and Raistlin patted Caramon on the shoulder: "Your girlfriend is such a good person."
Caramon sneered and said: "Speak as if you have seen it. Apart from Brother Rhodes, who doesn't listen to what he says?"
The short Iger sat on the bench and swung his feet: "But Brother Rhodes' description is like the scene appearing before our eyes."
Rhodes was moved and took the opportunity to ask: "Can you tell me a little bit about your girlfriend? I'm very curious."
Raistlin grabbed his neck and said with a smile: "What do you want to do? Are you attracted 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 Hongfang Street for free."
Rhodes quickly explained: "No, no, I'm just curious. I think it's difficult for ordinary women to do this kind of thing."
Raistlin rubbed his chin: "That's what you said. Why did she do this? She didn't want to get along with Caramon, so she kicked him. Why did she need to give him a crystal ball?"
Egg shouted: "That's right! Is it possible that she wants to make fun of you for being small, short, and fast and unable to satisfy her?"
Caramon's face felt as if it had been cooked, and he said angrily: "If you continue to tease me like this, 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 a thief but not a thief! She didn't even touch her hands, it's not interesting at all!"
Caramon shouted angrily: "Shut up, you little dwarf!"
Egg jumped up instantly and punched him in the navel:
"Your grandpa and I are a size seven!"
Rhodes quickly intervened to bring the topic back on track: "Tell us about her situation. Maybe we can analyze the reason. Although we are separated, we must at least know why."
Caramon was depressed for a moment. After a long time, he sighed and said:
"The day I met her, smoke-like rain and mist floated under the holy white trees, sparkling waves shone on the lake, and she emerged from the lotus leaf boat like a goddess..."
"Her white body trembled suddenly..." Raistlin directly repeated a part of Rhodes' words, completely destroying Caramon's artistic conception.
A roar of grief and anger came from the carriage.
"You are all bullying me! I won't say anything anymore!"
