Rhodes has always been very concerned about his soul weapon.
He believed that changing his image should start with a powerful soul weapon.
"The most suitable soul weapon for me must be the same as my essence, tall, mighty and long-lasting... Well, what shape will it be?"
With a beautiful imagination, Rhodes came to the tower of Soul Forging Master Leilu.
The interior of the tower was a busy scene, with burning furnaces everywhere, the sound of the blower box one after another, and the clanging sounds of forging. The high-temperature flames ejected from the forge dyed the entire tower red, and the people were sweating. The apprentices were carrying materials in a hurry, and the blacksmiths were working hard while urging loudly, and the scene was lively.
As the kingdom recovers, their work becomes tedious.
Especially after acquiring new psionic technology.
Everyone was working frantically, and there were many who only slept two or three hours a day, but no one complained. Everything they did was for Trorian and to survive under the light of the fire.
Rhodes did not disturb them and went directly to the top of the tower.
That is Master Leilu's exclusive workshop.
Unexpectedly, the entire tower was busy, but the workshop was quiet, with not a single apprentice.
When the guard on guard saw it was Rhodes, he opened the door and let him in without even announcing it.
Rhodes immediately saw Leilu sitting on the big chair. He was only wearing a pair of shorts, with his feet under the chair, his back arched, and his head on his fists, revealing his bronze skin and tendons all over his body. Especially like the legendary Thinker statue.
The statue was not disturbed by Rhode's arrival, and Rhode could not bear to disturb his deep thinking, but the doorbell directly rang by the doorman woke him up.
"Ah, it's Mr. Rhodes."
Master Leilu's furious face instantly turned into one of surprise, and the muscles on his face even twitched due to the rapid changes.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have already built your soul weapon... This is the most perfect soul weapon I have ever built. For it, I have exhausted all my inspiration and racked all my brains. !”
Master Leilu jumped up from the big chair, but his feet cramped due to sitting for too long and he fell face down to the ground.
Without waiting for Rhodes to help him up, he jumped up again, pretending as if nothing happened. On the other side of the runway workshop, in front of a steel gate nearly a hundred yards high.
"Hahaha, this is my life's masterpiece. Before this, I have never had such a good work. After this, it will be difficult for me to reach such a peak again."
"Come out and show your glory, Omen of the Spirit!"
Master Leilu held the door with both hands, muscles rising on his back.
Rhodes clearly felt about level 10 spiritual energy erupting in him.
Master Leilu’s combat power is not weak.
He thought to himself, staring at the steel door, filled with anticipation.
With a harsh friction sound, the steel door was slowly opened, and a strong spiritual light burst out, almost blinding Rhodes.
"Hahahaha, such a strong spiritual light! This majestic spirituality is worthy of being the top weapon I created!"
Amidst the wild laughter, the light gradually fell, revealing the complex and pure structure inside. They were in the shape of fan leaves, guarding a shining crystal clear crystal in the center.
The mist-like spiritual light gradually dissipated, and Rhodes saw its true form.
It was a heart-shaped crystal. There were countless creases in the crystal, as if it had been pieced together after being broken. The pure light was refracted countless times in the crystal, and the gorgeous brilliance confused Rhodes' eyes.
Master Leilu smiled happier than ever, looking at the crystal heart as if he were looking at his only son who was only born when he was one hundred and eighty years old.
"Sir Rhodes, this is your soul weapon, the omen of the spirit. You should feel its throbbing. It is connected to your soul and is an extra extension of your limbs."
Master Leilu picked it from the steel fan with hands that were even more careful than holding his egg.
At that moment, Rhodes clearly felt a throbbing, a strong call affecting his spirit, and the crystal heart gave him an extremely familiar feeling.
Master Leilu walked up to Rhodes and held the crystal heart in front of Rhodes' eyes with both hands.
"Do you know why it's called the Bad Omen of the Spirit?"
Rhodes couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
"Because whenever it is activated, the monster will die tragically. The aura before activation is the omen before the monster dies."
Master Leilu untied Rhodes' robe and tore open Rhodes' lining, revealing his perfectly proportioned figure enhanced by [Blood Pact Resurrection].
"Ah, the perfect figure. This must be the son of fire's body that has achieved perfect spiritual and physical coordination. It's really sweet and delicious."
Master Leilu put the crystal heart on Rhodes' heart.
Only then did Rhode discover that there were two completely transparent laces behind the heart. Master Leilu's dexterous hands directly tied them around Rhode's chest without even turning around.
The crystal heart was not very thick, only about half a thumb, and the size just covered his left chest. It looked like a transparent breast shield.
The moment it's put on, the feeling is gone.
Rhodes couldn't feel its existence, so he reached out and touched his left chest, just like touching his own chest muscles.
Is this my soul weapon?
Rhodes looked at Master Leilu with doubts.
what's it for?
Master Leilu understood Rhode's eyes and said excitedly: "Sir Rhodes, I have thought countless times about what you need most and what kind of soul weapon is best for you. After its shape is completed, It was my free time, but this moment was the most difficult time for me. I didn’t know how to choose. Until one day, when I was reading your combat file, I suddenly thought that you have countless combat methods. , and there will be more in the future, then, for you, the most important thing is not the way of fighting, but the spiritual power!"
Master Leilu danced while talking, and he was so excited that he couldn't stop at all.
"So, I chose this direction."
"The evil omen of the spirit, you can try it now."
He pointed behind him.
"Well, just use that iron ingot as a target. You close your eyes first, sense your heart, and let the spiritual energy touch it. Okay, that's it!"
The spiritual light burst out, and Master Leilu covered his eyes.
"Ah! My dog eyes!"
Rhodes felt that all his spiritual energy was stirring, and his heart was beating violently.
He came to the iron ingot, and just a few seconds later, he instinctively raised his hand, and his spiritual energy suddenly burst out, like a volcano erupting, like a mountain avalanching and the earth cracking, and the spiritual light as if it was substantial spread out radioactively.
At that moment, Rhodes felt as if he had passed an important pass, an unspeakable natural danger, and saw the vast sky and the infinite universe.
He punched out instinctively, boom!
With a deafening bang, the entire giant tower shook, leaving a fist mark one-fifth of a yard deep on the iron ingot.
Is this awesome?
Rhodes retracted his fist and looked at Lei Lu.
He opened his mouth wide, and bits of saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth, looking like a retard.
"This...is this the power of the Herrscher?"
Master Leilu looked at Rhodes in disbelief.
"Have you reached the thirteenth level of psychic power?"
Rhodes replied: "Yes."
"when?"
"just."
Master Leilu's expression seemed to be on the verge of tears.
"Sir Rhodes, this iron ingot is the main keel of this tower. It has incredible spirituality. It is a true semi-artifact left over from ancient times. It is an important platform for me to build weapons. Its hardness has reached the king level. It’s such a monster that no one can shake it except the Herrscher.”
A smile gradually appeared on Rhodes' face.
"You mean, it can increase my psychic power by one level?"
Master Leilu nodded gloomily.
"Yes, there are no restrictions. No matter how strong your psychic energy is, there will be no side effects. It will not even affect your normal psychic operation. Within a few seconds after being triggered, your psychic energy will be gathered in the form of resonance. , forcing it to a higher level.”
"It is the most incredible soul weapon I have ever seen. The soul fragments you provided are so strange."
After speaking, he added another sentence.
"Of course, the three times consumption of spiritual energy is certain. You know, energy will not be born from the void, nor will it disappear from the void. It is conserved."
At this moment, Rhodes' smile finally bloomed.
Master Leilu is indeed the most famous soul forging master in the entire royal city.
Nothing is more suitable for him than this soul weapon.
Rhodes said sincerely: "Thank you."
Master Leilu waved his hand.
"Don't thank me, I want to thank you. Without you, there would be no foundation for my creation. You are the pillar of Trolian, protecting the safety of countless people. Your life is our life, forged for you. Weapons are my glory."
He suddenly remembered something again and reminded him.
"By the way, Lord Rhodes, you don't have to worry about damaging this weapon during the battle. It is one with you, just like your chest muscles have suddenly thickened. Unless your defense is broken, it will not be damaged. , even if it is damaged, don’t worry, it will absorb your flesh and blood and spirituality and recover on its own.”
"The only thing that needs to be noted is that it cannot be used too frequently. The increase in spiritual energy will put a great burden on it. It also needs rest, just like humans."
Rhodes nodded deeply: "I understand!"
Afterwards, after explaining some details about its use, Rhodes politely left.
Master Leilu's expression was filled with joy and reluctance, and his big face was twisted like a twist, as if he had married his beloved little daughter to a scumbag.
Rhodes didn't notice his struggle at all, and happily left the tower holding his new weapon.
He first went back to Star City. Most of the valuable relics in this former Fire King's city had been taken away. Because it was too far away from Trolian, the black mist gradually gathered again, and the pressure on defense gradually increased. big.
The corruption of Wanxingyi has gradually increased, and researchers from the Industrial Machinery Research Institute are unable to prevent this pollution from the source.
Molly regretfully told him that the Ten Thousand Star Instrument would not be usable for at most two weeks. The researchers had completely engraved its rubbings and sent them back to the Industrial Machinery Research Institute, looking forward to one day replicating it.
Therefore, Wangcheng expects to withdraw all its forces in Star City in two weeks.
Rhodes was also extremely regretful that such a great source of divinity was cut off.
But there was nothing he could do about it. He could only smear his spirituality on the Ten Thousand Stars Instrument in depression and hurriedly left the Starry Sky City.
After returning to the Royal City again, Rhodes first went to the Holy Fire Sacrifice. Although he did not plan to use the power of the Royal City, he still had to talk to the King about leaving the Royal City and taking the Black Legion with him.
Unexpectedly, Wang didn't seem to find it difficult to understand his unauthorized actions and immediately agreed, leaving many of Rhode's prepared excuses in vain.
"Little Rhodes, I agree with your battle plan and will inform Dalin later. It will not affect the arrangement of the battle sequence. If you need help, just talk to me or Dalin directly."
Under the holy fire, the king's smile was extremely dazzling.
"Remember, Trorian is your backing, and the Holy Fire Sacrifice is your eternal home. Here, I am invincible. No matter what danger you encounter, you will be fine as long as you come back here."
Rhodes was extremely moved. The king's words filled him with confidence. With such a leader in Trolian, revival was destined.
No matter Qingyu, Jon, or Xingge, they are currently far behind him.
The king will rule for at least another thirty years.
Rhodes thought.
Let’s see if they can catch up in these thirty years.
It's best that my identity as a hidden fire person never comes into use.
Thinking of this, Rhodes decided to visit Qingyu and the others when they had time. During this period, they were all working hard to upgrade the "Eternal Fire". After obtaining the star source, all three candidates showed active characteristics. Due to the situation, they all practiced behind closed doors in the Holy Grail Cathedral of Fire and made great progress.
Even the smallest Xing Ge has raised his characteristic level to nine.
As long as you take one step further, you will become a qualified king.
I hope you can advance soon.
Rhodes prayed silently.
After leaving the Holy Fire Sacrifice, Rhodes returned to his station.
Kashan has been undergoing medical treatment since her last injury. A senior soul master told him that Kashan's condition is not very good. Her soul is full of cracks and she has suffered too many injuries. She needs some time to rest. , otherwise the soul will be broken again.
The only people in the battle group who can accompany him are Annabeth and Mavis.
Rhodes sighed. There were too few people in the battle group. He needed to recruit more people.
But he still hesitates. What is really useful to him is the person who has his name engraved on the tombstone and becomes a "Dream Apostle".
But cultivating a "Dream Apostle" requires a lot of resources, and Rhodes can't afford it yet.
Cassanne and Annabeth are both gold-eating monsters, and Mavis is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
Let me book some candidates first.
Rhodes thought.
At the right time, pull them into the battle group.
With his thoughts fixed, Rhodes stopped thinking about it, rode on Annabeth, took Mephis with him, and headed towards the ancient city of Sagus once again.
This trip was much more difficult than the last.
Just as the White Tower warned, the black fog has changed. The original route was covered by thick black fog, and its pollution power was a hundred times stronger than before.
Rhodes had brought thousands of red tear stones and phlogiston, but they had all been used up. Fortunately, Annabeth's speed was unparalleled, otherwise they would have been trapped halfway by the black mist.
After finally arriving in front of Sagus City, Annabeth asked worriedly: "Rhode, what will we do when we go back?"
Rhodes smiled and said: "Don't worry, you can use the portal when you go back."
"Let's go, you can help me from behind later. A brand new me will completely kill the King of the Deep Sea."
"You guys watch out!"
