In the huge blue fire, the soul firewood is still vaguely visible, like the core of the bonfire.
As soon as Rhodes thought, the world turned upside down in an instant, and the pure black night sky disappeared. He was standing in front of the stone tablet, pressing his forehead against the tablet.
He raised his head and touched the monument with his fingers.
Darkness once again filled the monument, and stars emerged.
Now, the blue star is much brighter than the dark red star, and its intensity far exceeds it.
But the position of the blue star is only "blazing fire".
Rhodes frowned. He now knew that the status of soul stars was divided into five levels.
"Unburned fire" is ashes, unlit stars.
"Desolate Fire"
"Fire"
"Golden Fire"
"Eternal Fire"
Only when it reaches the eternal fire will the star's state be fixed at "eternal burning".
And intensity not only represents the strength of the stars, but also the strength of his soul.
[Dark Devourer] is so much more powerful than [Frigid Blue], why is its strength only 30?
The Book of Knowledge has no answer to this question.
Rhodes recalled the many abnormalities that occurred when he first lit it, and could only conclude that [Dark Devourer] was a very special star, and everything about it was exceptional.
According to the information provided by the Book of Knowledge:
After adding soul firewood, the stars will have a burning core, which will greatly increase the burning efficiency.
After that, just continue to inject fuel. When the intensity increases to a certain limit, the stars will break through the barrier, increase their potential, and finally reach the "eternal fire".
After reaching the "Eternal Fire", the state of the stars is fixed, and no more fuel can be injected, and it can only be "quantified".
Regarding "quantified", the explanation of the Book of Knowledge is:
[Making the soul star reach its final form, spreading its power and affecting the spiritual world. 】
Rhodes has not yet figured out the concept of the spiritual world, but it is obvious that this is not what he can do now.
He had never even heard of what was needed to be "quantified".
but.
Rhodes quickly thought of another question.
[Bitter Blue] has now only reached the level of "blazing fire", far from reaching the constant burning state of "eternal fire".
Its intensity will continue to weaken.
That is to say, if he cannot increase the strength of the star to a high limit at once, its strength will continue to decrease, and he will need to add more soulless souls.
However, if he kept his soul, wouldn't there be a long vacuum period?
This is troublesome.
Rhodes had to ask the Book of Knowledge for help again.
Its answer is simple:
【Add humanity】
Rhodes was moved in his heart and asked again: "What are the functions of human nature?"
[The humanity in the human side of the obelisk can improve sanity, enhance resistance to madness and dementia, and increase resistance to dark erosion]
[The extracted human nature can be used as a making material or as an ingredient to add fire to the soul firewood to prevent the loss of fire power]
small book booth
I see!
No wonder the plague monster's wail didn't affect me at that time.
It turns out it’s because I’m very human.
It seems that I should store more in the obelisk, so that I don't have to be afraid of those strange and weird effects.
The best thing is that human nature still has this function.
Rhodes was very happy. He no longer had to worry about the extra humanity being useless.
Suddenly, he thought of the flower of humanity again.
When we came to the side of the obelisk, we saw a black flower at the foot of the obelisk.
"Flower of Humanity"
Condensed from human nature, it is an extremely precious thing, used to make powerful spells and concoct rare sanity elixirs.
You can also crush it to get 10 humanity.
——
This is of course impossible to crush.
After reading its information, Rhodes carefully picked up the black flower and put it into the storage.
There are already a lot of materials stored here. In addition to those obtained in the dream, there are also many that he purchased in the market area.
Because an unknown kind person gave him a hunter's license for free, Rhodes was able to save 10,000 silver cords and purchase a large amount of the materials he needed. Now things are progressing so smoothly.
Well, if you meet him in the future, thank him very much.
Later, Rhodes extracted a piece of humanity and added it to the blue stars.
The fire of the stars becomes stable in an instant, and a piece of humanity can last for a day.
And when converted, it's only ten points of humanity.
I go and have in-depth discussions with Kassan every day, and it’s more than that.
Haha, so simple.
Now, the only thing I have to do is to brush the soulless souls and add soulless souls without any thought, and the stars will quickly become stronger until they reach "Eternal Fire".
Thinking of this, Rhodes came to the Soul Altar and simply sacrificed the last four remaining [complete souls of crazy sinners].
The fire of the soul is twisted in the hand and divided by the invisible force. Its soul part is absorbed by the obelisk and stored in the obelisk; the spiritual part is separated and condensed into spirituality;
A total of 471 soulless souls, 5 multi-spirituals, and 4 frenzied traits were obtained.
"Frenzy Trait"
Condensation with "Frenzy" properties.
Rhodes frowned.
He remembered that the soul characteristic of the "crazy sinner" was madness. Was this the soul characteristic of the "mad sinner" extracted from it?
Could this also work?
How many things are hidden in the soul?
But the price for this "Book of Knowledge" is very high, one hundred radiance stones.
Why don't you go and grab it?
One silver cord can buy 3-5 red stones, and one shining stone costs 5,500 silver cords, which is not of the same level at all.
There was no other way. Rhodes could only write down these questions and plan to ask the teacher in the future. Mina was said to have a close relationship with the scholar, so he might be able to ask her.
Rhodes directly added all the soulless souls of 471 into [Bitter Blue].
Its strength suddenly increased to 87.
Rhodes' soul strength also became 117.
The strength has increased by about 10, with an average of 47 increased by 1, which is much more than before.
The effect of "Soul Firewood" is too strong.
In the blink of an eye, my soul strength was three times what it was before.
Now if I go to the Industrial Machinery Research Institute for testing, will my spiritual power also triple?
Rhodes was full of confidence.
Now, if I watch Invasion again, it should not be "certain to die".
Rhodes knew that the only criterion for any evaluation provided by dreams was the difference in soul strength between the two parties.
Now that his intensity has increased so much, his threat level must have dropped significantly.
Rhodes came to the back of the obelisk and touched the surface of the obelisk with his forehead. The blood-like words fell directly from his eyes and were reflected on his retina.
Invasion!
Invasion!
Invasion!
After nine sunsets, the invasion will come.
Warning: You are about to leave the Dark Abyss, and "Guardian of Darkness" will not be craftable.
Possible invaders: Eternal Death, Nightmare, Soulbinder Premus, Dead River's Hunting Red Spirit Tug.
Possible invasion environment: nightmare night.
Invasion Escape: No.
Invasion assessment: certain death.
——
What?
Rhodes almost suspected that he had seen it wrong.
Or "must die"?
Is the strength of my soul fake?
Or am I too weak? Is there no difference between an ant and a strong ant to an incoming invader?
Rhode's heart suddenly went cold.
There was only a tiny bit of golden light left that saved his life twice. According to previous memories, it takes at least a hundred points to kill an enemy with golden light. He simply didn't have enough, and he couldn't get the golden light——
It requires you to enhance the confidence and strength of the entire human race. With Rhodes' current strength, it is probably equivalent to a chicken pecking away at a mountain of rice.
He has already experienced the word "mortal" once. The Plague Demon's soul means "mortal". Even if it is seriously injured, if Rhodes challenges it alone, it will never survive the second second.
If the invading monster is about as strong as the Plague Demon, then am I dead?
what to do?
The only way Rhodes could think of was to use the remaining nine days to attack.
If you can get thousands or even tens of thousands of soulless souls, maybe there is still a chance of survival.
If you prepare various supplies, medicines, weapons and items in advance, your chance of survival will be even greater.
That's right.
Rhodes felt a surge of pride in his heart.
I don't believe in "must die".
good!
For the next nine days, I will live in the sewer and eat all my shit for you!
With strong determination, Rhodes returned to the material world and instantly fell into a dreamless sleep.
Early the next morning, Rhodes went out.
The lights of the college were misty and not yet fully lit, and the breeze blowing from the lake gave it an early morning feel.
But Rhodes was not in a sad mood. He went directly to a dormitory building and found Hines who had gotten up early in the morning to take care of his hair.
"What's the matter?" Hines was fixing each hair according to the predetermined bending rate. The heavy work made him a little grumpy.
"You said I could come to you if anything happened."
"That's right, besides borrowing money, you know, my maintenance solution is too expensive."
"I'd like to take nine days off."
"good."
"But no credits can be deducted."
He had looked at the materials that the credits could be exchanged for, and there were sun stones that he couldn't buy outside.
"good."
"Do you have a request?"
"Yes, contact the Ash Digger School now, otherwise you won't be able to go anywhere."
——
Rhodes accepted Hines's conditions, which was probably what Chief Dean Theodore had given him.
The impact is not big. If done well, people from the school can become his wage earners.
Rhodes immediately went to the market area and used the remaining 4,500 silver cords to buy 5 grams of star ruby powder, 300 real silver bullets, and 30 thunder stones.
The ten thousand silver cords were officially spent.
He became a pauper again.
"Perhaps we can sell the rewarded herbal medicine and the fruit of the Holy White Tree."
These are controlled products and illegal trading is not allowed.
But as we all know, the illegal ones are the most expensive.
Green herbal elixirs and holy white tree fruits are both items that directly enhance power, but they are of no use to Rhodes because he actually has neither fire nor the ability to practice spiritual energy. He has already tried it, and the practice of spiritual energy is of no use to him at all. He couldn't absorb the potions that enhanced his spiritual power. He drank as much as he could, and in the end, Rhodes secretly gave them to Wayne and Zales.
Therefore, after obtaining the "Jinworth Star", he kept these two items specifically to see if they could be exchanged for a better price.
For such a precious thing, one hundred thousand silver cords shouldn’t be a problem, right?
The thunder stone only costs thirty silver cords. With one hundred thousand silver cords, I can set up a mine array and blow up the monster to death.
Of course, Rhodes has not yet found a channel for this, and he is not sure whether this black market really exists.
The risks are also very high. The consequences of illegal transactions are capital punishment. It is best not to take action until the end.
Rhodes delivered the purchased items to the dreamland in batches, and then returned to the dreamland himself and came to the stone platform.
He is going to make [Spirit-Sealing Bullets].
Rhodes placed ten grams of real silver bullets, three parts of spirituality, one part of humanity, and one gram of star ruby powder on the stone platform.
With a slight click, the big hand flew out again, grabbing all the materials together and kneading them frantically.
After a moment, ten rusty bullets fell.
This is a true silver bullet with a spirit-sealing effect, which can hinder the enemy's spiritual energy and force the enemy to reveal its flaws.
Since Rhodes only had six spirits in total, he only made twenty spirit-sealing bullets.
This is his trump card.
Rhodes returned to the material world and carried ten thunder stones, fifty real silver bullets, and ten spirit-sealing bullets on his body.
Then put the poisonous pansy juice, red powder, and spiritual tree dew on one side of your waist.
Everything is ready.
Afterwards, he followed the address on the letter and went to the teaching area to find the Ash Digger's station in the college.
