The Book of Knowledge once again answered his questions.
Sure enough, the gold on the right side of the obelisk represents divinity.
[The golden divinity comes from mankind’s constant spirit of resistance, unyielding faith, and arrogance in contending with heaven and earth since ancient times. It enhances the possibility of inheriting the fire of civilization and drags civilizations sliding into the dark abyss. Increase your divinity. 】
After reading this long paragraph, Rhodes felt his heart freeze.
Such a huge proposition is obviously not something he can accomplish in the short term.
If you give me infinite divinity first, maybe I can consider it. If you give me just a little bit, it will be very difficult for me.
Rhodes looked at the thin layer of golden light that only occupied the bottom of the obelisk. The information fed back from it showed:
Divinity: 55.
Only 5 servings.
But in the beginning, the golden light was much more than that. Rhodes encountered life and death crises twice in dreams. Both times, he relied on the golden light to kill the enemy, and he consumed so much.
"No wonder."
Rhodes thought.
"Divinity is so strong that it cannot be obtained so easily."
Rhodes looked up from the monument and did not feel particularly disappointed.
Although divinity is rare, fortunately, it does not consume much. Five parts of divinity are enough to make five parts of soul fuel.
At least for a while there is no need to worry about strength.
Afterwards, 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 was to offer sacrifices.
It was said to be a sacrifice, but to Rhodes it was more like an anatomy.
When he sacrificed his soul on the Soul Altar, part of its soul was absorbed by the obelisk and stored within it.
The spiritual part is separated and condensed into spirituality.
If the soul is stronger, it will also separate out the soul trait, which is a crystalline substance that contains the power of the soul trait.
Rhodes used the few remaining dusty souls to test the effect of the sacrifice.
The dust-like light spots on the fingertips were distorted, decomposed, and disappeared by inexplicable power, leaving behind a tiny bit of shining spirituality.
At the same time, there is an additional line of words in the obelisk:
Soulless Soul: 7.
Rhodes understood instantly.
It turns out that in [Frigid Blue], [Injection: Soulless Soul] means this.
He only needs to burn the soul part of the soul as firewood, while the spiritual part has another function.
I threw everything in before, and it was obviously a loss.
"Okay, remember to sacrifice first in the future."
Spiritual materials are also important.
Rhodes took a look at what he had left in stock.
8 little pieces of soul.
1 chunk of soul.
4 [Intact Souls of Crazy Sinners]
1 [Complete Soul of the Black Crow of Evil]
Among them, [The Complete Soul of the Evil Black Crow] is very important.
When Black Crow died, a piece of ashes fell and was picked up by Caramon.
If he can get this piece of ashes, he can make the "soul ashes" of the Black Crow of Evil.
That monster had a very profound impact on him, and he and Raistlin were able to win the battle with all their strength.
If it can be made, it will be very useful whether it is used on the battlefield or used in dreams to resist invasion.
Moreover, it is also a "medium complete soul" used to make soul firewood.
[The intact soul of a mad sinner] is a weak soul and not qualified.
There is only one complete soul of [Evil Black Crow]. Before he could decide which one to choose, Rhodes sacrificed the small soul and the large soul first.
A small piece of soul can be decomposed into about 15-30 soulless souls.
A large piece can be broken down to between 60-70.
A dusty soul is only 2-3, which is about thirty times the difference.
So weak, no wonder gray-level monsters are called dust on the battlefield.
The soul fragments of an unleveled monster are thirty times stronger than it.
[The complete soul of the mad sinner] is kept temporarily to see if it can be used for other purposes.
After the sacrifice, Rhodes received a total of 241 soulless souls and a group of spirits the size of a small fingernail.
It is like a ball of transparent jelly, slowly squirming on the nail. One large group is obviously gathered together, and there is a clear boundary with the small group next to it.
This probably means one serving.
Rhodes looked at it and thought in his mind.
The Book of Knowledge tells me that only humans have a lot of living spirituality, so this is dead?
No, that’s not right. It cannot be understood this way. It is normal spirituality and living spirituality.
Just like normal table and alive table.
“Then what’s the use of living spirituality?”
[Wraiths, ghosts, and puppets can be created for brainwashing, mind control, or rituals related to the spirit world. 】
It's so evil... I shouldn't be able to use it for the time being. Maybe the black priest will use it in his blasphemous ritual.
Later, Rhodes followed the advice of the Book of Knowledge and stored his spirituality in a cupboard under the stone platform.
This is the most susceptible substance to contamination and deterioration, and must be properly stored, otherwise it will cause unknown disasters.
Finally, Rhodes turned his attention to the back of the obelisk - where the invasion text appeared.
When he touched the monument with his forehead, he saw more detailed text:
After twenty-three sunsets, the invasion will come.
Warning: You are about to cross the river of eternal death, and the invasion will cause unknown changes.
Possible intruders: the eternal death spirit, the nightmare ghost fish, the spirit binder, and the hunting red spirit of the dead river.
Possible invasion environment: nightmare night.
Invasion Escape: No.
Invasion assessment: certain death.
——
The bright red word "Death" made Rhodes calm down a lot. He was far from getting carried away yet.
If we don't step up our efforts now and prepare for the invasion in twenty-three days, it will be too late to regret it before we die.
This time, there was no golden light to save him.
Rhodes re-read all the information he obtained today and made a preliminary sorting out:
1. He is not the murderer. The murderer is the Doomsday Sect who is looking for the fragment. He can safely and boldly assist the investigation of the Internal Affairs Judgment Office. Of course, he can independently investigate some information that is not suitable to be disclosed.
2. Dreamland can obtain more buildings and functions by searching for fragments. When near the fragments, he will sense the call, but be careful of the doomsday cultists who are also looking for the fragments.
3. To ignite a new soul star requires a special soul, spirituality and firewood. The key lies in the "special soul".
4. Improving the status of the stars requires the stars to add soul fuel in the extreme burning state. Collecting the materials for the soul fuel as soon as possible is his current top priority.
5. Get more humanity as soon as possible.
6. Soul-sealing bullets, soul ashes and guardians of darkness must be produced as much as possible. These are 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 accomplished through patrol missions.
At the same time, he must perform better in order to obtain the first-level "Goldworth Star" medal. In addition to 10,000 silver ropes and a large number of resource rewards, free access is essential.
He could consider buying a house outside the college as a new base to hide things that are not convenient for the public to see.
Other materials can be purchased with money or credits, and there are also individually distributed supplies that can be obtained.
You also need to brush up on human nature, which is the material in greatest demand.
Finally, there is a wealth of knowledge in the Book of Knowledge.
Whenever he has time, he will return to the dreamland to study.
Being more proficient in the ancient language can increase the efficiency of learning.
Of course, this all must be done in a safe environment.
This kind of mistake today will never be allowed to happen again.
With his thoughts fixed, Rhodes was no longer confused. He filled the black crystal with energy, stuffed it into the big mouth on the front cover of the Book of Knowledge, and repeated the question at that time.
"What qualifications do you need to become a king?"
[The only soul characteristic of the Fire Spiritgiver]
【Eternal Burning Fire】
[Anyone with this characteristic will become a candidate for the Fire Salary King. 】
The Fire Giver is the written name of the Spiritual Fire Sequence.
Their soul characteristics are unique and much stronger than the abilities of fire.
Rhodes nodded, some doubts in his mind were solved, and some new possibilities emerged.
He put the big book back on the bookshelf, pinched the symbol, and returned to the material world.
There was no change, the dormitory was quiet, and no one came to disturb me.
The students were still in class and had to patrol the college gate in the afternoon, but he asked for leave today so he didn't have to go.
Rhodes hadn't slept much for two days. He put his hands flat on his chest and quickly fell into a dreamless sleep to regain his energy for the next challenge.
——
Trorian Royal City.
Uptown.
Internal Affairs Tribunal.
The disappearance of Alex, the consul of the second largest district in the outer city, and her confirmation that she was a doomsday cultist caused a great sensation. Lucien, the chief judge, personally rushed back from the royal district with three justices to deal with the matter.
The consulship of a region is not a very low position. Although non-fire executors can also become consuls, this cannot conceal its importance as the chief executive of a population of more than one million.
The Royal City is a very huge city. Since the establishment of the Los High Wall and the Marina High Wall five hundred years ago, it has been destined to be an unprecedentedly huge human settlement.
The sense of security that high walls give humans is unmatched by anything except fire. Even though the Imperial City has implemented a strict household registration system, its population has inevitably expanded to 30 million.
Coupled with the large number of illegal household registrations, it is generally believed that the number of people living in the royal city for a long time is between 35 million and 40 million.
The outer city is the most populous area, with more than one million people in any of its large districts.
The governor of such a large region turned out to be a doomsday cultist, which frightened everyone. If he deliberately destroyed it, the damage would be unimaginable.
But what’s even more incredible is how did she become a consul?
During further investigation, they discovered more incredible phenomena——
No resume of this doomsday cultist whose pseudonym is Alex has been found.
There is no trace of her presence in the neighborhood or community administration hall.
No one knew how she rose to the top, but no one doubted it, and no one was surprised by her youth, as if it was something as natural as breathing.
But when the truth was revealed, they woke up from a dream and discovered all the irregularities at once.
After the investigation, the three justices came to the top of the Tower of Judgment with all the investigation information.
Lucian, the Chief Adjudicator, was standing on the high tower, looking down at the royal city.
His body was as fragile and small as a dead branch, but no one dared to underestimate the power of this body. The three justices respectfully handed over the investigation report.
But Lucian didn't answer and just said calmly.
"I noticed the twisting power of fate. Someone has tampered with the established life and replaced the original consul's trajectory."
The three justices looked at each other and found it difficult to understand.
"Master Chief." A giant-like justice bent deeply, his forehead almost touching the ground, "If the doomsday cultists have such ability, why don't they choose a higher position?"
Lucian did not answer, but still looked down at the royal city under the majestic black mist.
The tiny glimmers of light in the countless houses were like the dust at the feet of the dark beast.
The higher you stand, the more darkness you can see.
What a tragedy.
Lucian sighed inaudibly.
"Go find Gordon who has lost his life. He is now a homeless man on Baker Street. We will know the answer from him."
The three justices said in unison: "Yes! Your Excellency Lucian."
"Go. Also, Gula can be released. Tell him not to interfere in the candidate's affairs anymore. The passing of fire is the most sacred ceremony and no interference is allowed."
——
Outer city.
A dark sewer corner.
Four men in black robes gathered together.
"I was exposed."
A female voice said in a low voice, with an unconcealable weakness in her voice, but it still did not affect the hatred and anger squeezed out of her teeth.
"It must be that bastard, that waste! He saw my face! He must have destroyed the sacrilegious ceremony! The action against the Red Rock Village relocation team must have failed because of him! He stole the power that belongs to us! Disrupted The arrival of the Great God!”
"We must kill him!"
