This soul is the first and most complete soul he obtained after just completing the "quantification" of [Dark Devourer].
Due to its special name, it escaped many rounds of sacrifices and has remained until now.
I didn't expect it to work at this time.
[Destroy and Burn]: Destroy the soul and gain an ability that it was best at while alive. Depending on the specificity and completeness of the soul, the longest duration is seven sunsets and the shortest duration is one hour.
This is an effort that the Altar of Souls possesses after reaching its complete state.
Rhodes had occasionally used it to destroy the souls of monsters to gain their abilities.
But the effect is not very good. The monster's soul is completely different from that of humans. Rhodes can actually only obtain part of its characteristics. Not only does it last for a short time, but it also requires the sacrifice of multiple souls to enhance the effect.
I wonder what the soul of this King of Thieves is like.
Logically speaking, since he is known as the King of Thieves, his best abilities should be sneaking and stealing.
But Rhodes was not so sure. He came to the Soul Altar, took out the soul from the crystal wall, held it in both hands, and activated [Destroy and Burn] with a thought.
Dark flames burst out from the depths of the soul, turning the large gray mist into a burning fireball.
After a few seconds, the flames fell and the soul disappeared.
A light gray light flashed over Rhodes.
He looked at his hands and felt that nothing had changed.
"Book." Rhodes asked uncertainly, "Did I succeed?"
The Book of Knowledge wrote impatiently: "You will know if you go out and give it a try? Don't bother me with this little thing."
After saying that, it ran away.
"This guy……"
Rhodes had an idea and returned to the material world. As soon as he walked out of the door, he realized something was wrong.
He is currently in the King's Hand's station, which is full of senior guards belonging to the King's Guard.
They are generally above level four combatants, have rich experience and strong perception, and are very sensitive to every move around them. However, on his way out of the room and out of the station, no one noticed him.
Rhodes turned around and walked back to the station.
This time, with a high degree of concentration, he discovered that, unknowingly, his steps were as silent as a cat, his body was as invisible as the wind, and his sense of existence had become very weak for some reason, different from the surroundings. The environment is integrated.
Rhodes tried to get close to a King's Hand who had just taken a psychic potion and was meditating on digestion.
During meditation, his perception was the most acute, but Rhodes came behind him quietly and saw a dagger in his arms.
As soon as the thought came to mind, he stretched out his sinful hands, and before he knew it, the dagger was in his hands.
Rhodes looked at it for a while.
This is a piece of spiritual equipment.
The sword body is made of pure silver and is embedded with star rubies. The hilt is a complete piece of ruby. The input spiritual energy will be rectified, making the true silver on the sword more stable.
This is a weapon with very strong additional damage to monsters. The user pays more attention to skill and speed, weakening the monster's spiritual energy with frequent attacks, rather than hitting the monster with heavy blows.
From this point of view, the characteristics of the King's Hand may be related to acceleration or avoidance, so he chose such a weapon.
After Rhodes finished looking at the dagger, he moved his hand and it returned to the arms of the King's Hand intact.
And he was still unaware.
I wipe it!
This king of thieves is extraordinary!
Rhodes was ecstatic to discover that this was not just some kind of skill, but also seemed to have a unique reason.
His body became hazy, as if shrouded in invisible mist, and some specific parts, such as his hands and feet, even became transparent.
Hahaha, he is indeed the King of Thieves, Mist.
Maggots, your doom has come!
Laughing wildly, Rhodes ran out of the station and ran along the street.
Sure enough, everyone on the road, including pedestrians and patrollers, turned a blind eye to him.
Whether it is people or shops, they are all transparent in his eyes.
He could take whatever he wanted and leave whenever he wanted, with almost no restrictions.
Along the way, just driven by instinct, he had a lot of worthless gadgets in his hands.
This is the result of his deliberate control, otherwise he could steal everyone who passes by.
good!
I don't want to do this. I can't bear the title of King of Thieves.
Now let you feel the fear of being dominated by thieves from thousands of years ago.
Hahaha.
Rod ran to the first target on his list.
The remaining six justices.
——
Justice Murray's residence.
This is one of the many luxurious mansions on Queen Street in the upper town.
As a descendant of the giant bloodline, Mori monopolized the position of the Eastern District Justice. His family had held this position for generations, but it was not until his generation that he became rich with the prosperity of the royal city.
The entire mansion is full of the nouveau riche temperament, with gold and silver everywhere, and even a pillar is covered with gold foil.
Rhodes was tearing apart as he walked, and many servants and their families exclaimed.
"Eh? Where's the gold on this pillar?"
"The walls are peeling off again."
"Hey, this house is too old. No amount of decoration can cover up its ancient history. It's time to... where is my money?"
Rhodes blew by like a gust of wind, blowing away the glitz and allowing them to relive the hardships of the past, remember the mission of mankind, and not lose their true heart in the face of prosperity.
It just so happens that the royal city is currently expanding its armaments and is quite short of supplies.
Just think of it as donating to the greatest cause of mankind.
Ha ha.
Rhodes quickly came to the hall, and his instinct suddenly made him hold his breath and tiptoe.
He stepped cautiously into the hall, and sure enough he saw Justice Murray himself.
He sat at the top, his face gloomy.
"Although the arrogance of that little bastard has been suppressed, the situation cannot be reversed. The royal city will inevitably turn to expansion. The king's new law has been implemented. All my properties have been severely damaged. If the war goes unfavorable in the future, our family property will also be expropriated. possible."
A slightly younger man asked: "Father, what should we do now?"
"Now I can only endure it for the time being. I have transferred all my real assets to the underground treasury. Whenever there is an opportunity in the future, we will try to interfere with the expansion. If the setback is serious, we may be able to make Wangcheng stop this unwise move."
Then they started discussing the specifics.
For example, how to carry out destruction without leaving any trace, how to add corrupted and expired medicine to good healing medicine, and how to wrap rotten matter in healing bandages.
When they win in the royal city, they will brag wildly and hold the victor high, as if tomorrow they can sweep away the dark world and bring mankind back to the era of light.
When the royal city fails, they will spread pessimism and despair everywhere and create chaos internally.
And so on and so forth.
Rhodes hid in the shadow of the pillar and heard half of it, and knew that this guy must be involved in sabotaging the expedition.
And that they can say such things unscrupulously in this hall proves that this hall is safe.
The evidence can certainly be found here.
As for the current conversation, Rhodes also recorded it.
Although it is also very serious, after all, without actual operations, it is impossible to uproot the family.
Rhode pressed the ground with one hand and found the book of the past that had been dusty for a long time in his consciousness. As soon as the thought came to his mind, the pages of the book began to turn.
Pictures from the past appeared before my eyes one after another. Various characters came in and out of the picture. Although the matters discussed were very over-the-top, they were not essentially different from today's dialogue.
As time goes by, the consumption of spiritual energy becomes greater and greater.
After more than a month, Rhodes already felt a little tired.
After more than two months, the consumption of spiritual energy suddenly increased sharply, like a cobra standing upright.
And after three months, the spiritual energy will double every day.
If this continues, he won't be able to hold on for long.
Just when Rhodes was anxious, he suddenly saw a scene.
In the picture, nine justices walked into the hall one after another, including the dead Laiweier, Amory, and Karama.
Among the nine people, the faint leader is Eliville.
He sat at the top and began to speak.
Although there is no sound in the picture of the Book of the Past, his words can be roughly distinguished from the shape of his mouth.
——They are very worried about the development of Fanxing Town, sad about the failure of the sabotage operation against Fanxing Town, and are planning a fatal attack on Fanxing Town, initially targeting the Aries Demon hundreds of thousands of yards away from Fanxing Town.
Rhodes was shocked and immediately returned to the dreamland.
Go to the hut, take out the Book of the Past from the bookshelf, and then take out the Image Crystal.
Open the book of the past, determine the time, input psychic energy, and the picture will appear on the page, clearly recorded by the image crystal.
Rhodes played the entire negotiation process at five times speed. Combined with the evidence found in Fanxing Town, where the internal affairs tribunal was previously located, this one photo crystal was enough to send all six of them and their families to the underground prison of the royal city, and they would face the most extreme punishment. penalty.
good!
You're done!
Rhodes beamed with joy and felt very excited. He rushed up to pick up the Book of Knowledge and took a few bites of it, which annoyed the latter.
"That's enough for you! Can you act like a master? Didn't you just kill a few bugs? What's there to be happy about? The previous master was not a super strong man who led the times and stood at the forefront of the era. He was the smallest person they had ever encountered. The trouble is tens of thousands of times greater than yours..."
Rod, who was in a happy mood, didn't even insert it angrily, but quickly returned to the material world.
The evidence had been obtained, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, as Justice Murray said before, he found his underground warehouse.
In front of the ultra-thick black iron door, a very exaggerated and complicated lock hung in front of him, but Rhodes only used two fingers to open it.
The warehouse is filled with all kinds of rare minerals and materials.
If it was not easy to obtain Rhodes before, traveling to and from dreams too frequently would be very damaging to the spirit.
But now, Rhodes only used a dream ritual to move the entire inner treasury.
Ha ha.
I told you to frame me!
Just think of it as my mental damages!
Lord left Justice Murray's mansion satisfied and went to find the next lucky person on the list.
As a result, the entire royal city ushered in an extremely extraordinary day.
Rhodes first ransacked the residences of the remaining five justices, not only taking out all their inventory, but also stealing all their money. The dream world was like a tornado, even taking away half of the land.
The only troublesome thing is that the dream ritual can only lock one item. After it is transferred in, it must be transferred out before another item can be transferred.
Therefore, after each act, Rhodes would go back to his mansion and store the acquired property in the basement.
The basement quickly filled up and he had to pile things directly into the courtyard.
Anyway, as the captain of the Hand of the King, no one dares to break into the mansion.
After looting all the justices, Rhodes began to look for the people on the list one after another.
Everyone follows the same process, determine the location, determine the time, open the book of the past, record the evidence with the photo crystal, then loot the person, return the property to the mansion, and then look for the next target.
In just one day, Rhodes had removed almost half of the opponents in the upper city.
It was only in the evening that someone finally discovered the theft.
This matter is neither a big deal nor a small matter. Although the person involved cried and howled like a ghost, the Internal Affairs Adjudication Office just lazily followed the procedures.
It wasn't until the thefts continued to surge that the chief adjudicator noticed this.
But at this time, Rhodes had already arrived at the residence of Grand Adjudicator Manolo Bana.
After collecting a series of clues, he has determined that rallies of opponents are often held in his mansion.
This man is the leader of the opposition and he definitely holds countless secrets.
It will be revealed at this moment whether he is a doomsday cultist, a traitor driven by greed, or a stupid person being taken advantage of.
Rhodes stepped into the mansion with confidence.
However, this time the operation was far from smooth as before.
Rhodes tore through almost every part of the Book of the Past, but he couldn't find any evidence that could be used as evidence.
This is not right.
Rhodes keenly discovered the anomaly.
He looked at the scenes of the past three months in a small, dark underground room. No one had ever come in here.
But this room clearly shows signs of use.
Among them was a psychic imaging communicator, which had obviously been used multiple times.
And Rhodes happened to have the psychic fluctuations it recorded.
——That's Jon's communication mark.
Rhodes knew that Manolo Bana was close to Jon, but after this period of contact, Rhodes' impression of Jon had changed a lot.
As a candidate for the king, he absolutely puts Trorian's interests before his own life, and it is impossible for him to harm the interests of the entire Trolian human race for his own selfish purposes like the opponents.
What exactly is going on?
Rhodes returned to the dreamland and carefully checked the book of the past day by day.
Finally, he discovered something unusual.
What I see on some days is actually a static picture.
At the end of the day, some details on the screen suddenly changed, but no one came in during this time.
There is no doubt that this history has been obscured.
Rhodes asked the Book of Knowledge, who lazily fanned the pages and wrote.
"Of course you can, but there are some traces that can be found in the Book of the Past. Try increasing the input of psychic energy."
Rhodes followed his instructions and returned to the book, increasing his psychic input.
Sure enough, the picture of that day disappeared and turned into a blank.
The handwriting in the Book of Knowledge looked much more solemn, and he wrote.
"This period of history was erased by some mysterious force, which involves the power of God. It may be the influence of a certain artifact or semi-artifact, which intentionally obscures this period of history."
Rhodes remained silent. Based on this suspicion, Manolo Bana was suspected of being unclear.
But there is no evidence.
Wangcheng is very concerned about evidence. In the past history, there have been enough tragedies caused by arresting people without evidence.
It was impossible to cure Manolobana of his sins with just a few words from him.
What the hell.
Rhodes slammed the table.
This guy must be a doomsday cultist.
This matter was probably done by the Book of Destiny.
Rhodes was very unhappy. In order to calm down this mood, he cleaned Manolo Bana's house clean. He even used the instinct of the king of thieves to find his hidden warehouses hidden everywhere and emptied them all. .
To be honest, he didn't expect the Manolo Bana family to be so rich. None of the previous opponents had as much wealth combined as he did.
He has more than 100,000 tons of true silver alone, and its purity is close to 100%, which is equivalent to the output of the true silver veins in Fanxing Town in one month.
There are countless other types of materials.
Rhodes smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and suddenly felt that it didn't matter if there was no evidence.
After finishing this job, the last target is Chief Consul Talinas.
Nothing went wrong in this operation.
Rhodes soon found a lot of evidence that proved that he was not only an opponent who participated in the sabotage expedition, but also a pure-blooded doomsday cultist.
His heart is filled with a deep hatred for mankind, and he repented every day for his hard work. Everything he did so far was aimed at destroying mankind in the future.
This is fundamental among doomsday believers.
They believe that humans are evil and must be destroyed to gain peace.
Such people are also a minority among doomsday believers. Most of today's doomsday believers are people who are not living a satisfactory life and are trying to make huge profits and change their lives through the doomsday.
Since then, Rhodes' actions have come to an end.
In one day, he checked nearly 200 opponents, and only less than 10% of them did not cross the line, and they were later marginalized.
Ninety percent of the people participated in the destruction of Fanxing Town.
There are also several doomsday cultists mixed in, adding fuel to the flames and fanning the flames.
Rhodes spent more than 200 yuan on the photo crystal, and the confiscated property almost overflowed from his mansion.
At this time, the theft had broken out in full force. People were running and wailing everywhere in the upper city. A large number of judges and investigators were walking through the streets and alleys. Even the top brass were alarmed.
When Rhodes went to the Holy Fire Sacrifice to find the king, he happened to see the first elder Armando, and dozens of elders and senior figures in the royal city stood beside him.
Rhodes smiled slightly and strode forward.
