Chapter 147 The Truth About the Invasion

During the day, theoretical knowledge class.

Different from the soft and superficial knowledge learned in the academy before, Churchill, a burly man, and Priscilla, a woman in black robe, took turns instilling in them extremely hard-core truths about the world, fire and soul.

Rhodes didn't know until now how much effort and sacrifice the humans in Trorian had made in pursuit of knowledge and truth related to survival.

They frantically seek the truth of history, trying to find the answer to survival and avoid the cause of destruction.

They frantically seek all means of truth that may help them survive, even if there is little hope.

It is precisely because of this that in such an extraordinary environment, research on physics, mathematics and conventional weapons still has soil.

It is precisely because of this that there are so many schools in Wangcheng, and everyone is looking for the path and truth that can save the world.

Although there is only one academy of the fire bearer, there are many academies of knowledge.

In the evening, combat class.

Sauron, the instructor who is a senior knight, looks clean and elegant, but in fact he is very irritable.

He drills everyone like a mad dog.

Especially Rhodes.

He is either running circles, jumping leapfrogs every day, or being beaten by wooden stakes that can spin circles.

Of course, this is not corporal punishment, but the basis of training physical combat - opening up and strengthening spiritual power.

The physical strength of monsters is very high, and the diffuse spiritual energy is always in a state of defense and offense. If you want to fight monsters in close quarters, you need the same super strength and defense ability.

Therefore, strengthening oneself with turbulent psionic energy to obtain super-high speed and strength, and opening stagnant psionic energy to defend against high-intensity blows are essential skills.

In Sauron's eyes, except for Rhodes' psionic use when escaping, he can score 1 point, and all other abilities are zero points.

It's no different than a beginner.

This made Sauron, who was known for being good at monster fighting and melee combat, extremely dissatisfied. He roared in the training ground almost every day, and he was about to become the Roaring Emperor.

"I've said it a hundred times! The turmoil of psionic energy should be as natural as breathing. Does your psionic energy have asthma?"

"Arouse the psionic energy at the moment of exertion! What are you doing with psionic energy before exerting force?"

"The psionic power starts to strengthen after half of the effort? Do you want to tickle the monster?"

"Don't open the psychic defense all the time! Are you a target who can only be hit?"

When Sauron said this, it was the most painful time for Rhodes.

Because the rotating stake would stretch out a wooden stick from time to time, he needed to deploy his spiritual defense the moment the wooden stick hit his body to resist the attack.

As long as Rhodes was slow to react for half a second, he would be hit hard on the head, arm or thigh by a wooden stick.

This is a solid blow.

Although the trauma doctor was standing by, mental pain was not curable.

Moreover, as the number of mistakes increased, Sauron not only did not slow down the speed of the rotation of the stake, but accelerated it.

Rhodes can only spread the spiritual energy all over his body and open up the spiritual energy defense.

But at this time, Sauron would stop him, saying that the only consequence of doing so would be to become a useless target and transfer the risk to his teammates behind.

then.

After one round, Rhodes had to be beaten at least a few hundred times. Although his whole body hurt, he didn't have a single scar.

After the combat class is over, other students can rest.

But Rhodes can't, he still has a language class.

The teacher of the language class is unexpectedly Professor Binns who once explored the sewer with him.

Thanks to the sewer map he presented, Rhodes went very smoothly in the subsequent sewer journey.

Although Rhodes no longer goes to the sewer, he is still very grateful to him.

And Professor Binns had a very good impression of Rhodes, and he appreciated his dedication to language and his research on rare ancient languages.

The discussion between the two was very pleasant, and it can even be said that it was a rare encounter with a confidant.

Although Professor Binns is a scholar who studies history, he has studied language very deeply.

Here, one cannot study history without knowing the language, and historians are not old pedants rummaging through piles of old papers.In addition to direct research on documents and antiquities, many scholars even have to follow expeditions or expeditions to explore the ruins in person.

With his help, Rhodes' understanding and mastery of the language system increased rapidly.

Soon, Rhodes figured out that whether it was the common language or various ancient languages, they all belonged to the same language family.

Many languages ​​and their variants can be figured out as long as one goes up the thread, and Dream Language is no exception.

This is simply too good!

Rhodes felt that within a few days, he would be able to unlock the secrets in the dream.

Time flies so fast when you are busy.

The special training was very hard, but it also gained a lot. After so long, Rhodes finally embarked on a correct fast track and rushed forward.

About ten days later, Rhodes' language ability finally broke through the barrier and reached a new level in one fell swoop.

He finally understood why he was always unable to understand the more complicated dream languages. Apart from the fact that the complicated grammatical structures could be superimposed on each other, it was also because their font structures could have different meanings.

Rhodes was able to guess some simple words and sentences correctly because it was difficult for them to have other meanings.

But a complex sentence has thousands of possible meanings.

Professor Binns appreciated Rhodes' talent in language. He told Rhodes that the group of monsters in the ruins of the royal city found in the middle of the sewer had been cleaned up, and now the excavation of the ruins is proceeding in an orderly manner. If Rhodes is interested If so, you can join the Ash Digger School and participate in it.

Rhodes euphemistically stated that he is currently undergoing special training in a secret branch.

Professor Binns didn't care, and only said that if you are interested, you can come to him at any time.

After finishing the last class of the day, Rhodes returned to the dormitory, returned to the dreamland, took out the book of knowledge and started working.

This time, it was as if the constipation that had been held back for many years was completely cleared.

The text that I used to look as stiff as old shit suddenly plummeted.

Rhodes was so excited that he wanted to bury his head in the book of knowledge and work hard.

About three hours later, Rhodes finally translated all the text about the invasion, but all the smiles on his face disappeared.

The translated text was written on the white paper beside it, and Rhode checked it twice to confirm that there was not much ambiguity.

I saw written on the white paper:

Dream Invasion:

When the dreamland ushered in a new master, the invasion would begin, this was Yuan's instinct.

Invasions vary greatly depending on the time of day and spirit environment.

Varies greatly depending on the state of soul corruption.

It becomes stronger with the influence of dreams on the spirit world.

Stronger as the world falls into darkness.

-

The original text is much longer, and this is the core content extracted by Rhodes.

It completely shows that Rhodes' dream is shattered, and his crisis has not passed at all.

Especially the last sentence, reminded him of a certain sentence from Teacher Churchel's first day of class——

"The world is slipping faster into the dark abyss."

Doesn't this mean that the monsters he meets in the future will become stronger and stronger?

The obelisk has been silent for so many days. In fact, it is not that the invasion has been interrupted, but a stronger invader is coming?
Rhode felt a strong chill rising along his back, and couldn't help shivering.

during the following days.

Rhodes very much hoped that his translation level was not enough and an error occurred.

But unfortunately, no matter how much he studied, he couldn't find any fatal translation mistakes.

He even disassembled the original text and gave it to Professor Binns to translate separately, but the general idea remained the same.

Professor Binns also became very interested in this kind of writing, and eagerly asked Rhodes where he found it. If its source could be confirmed, the history books might be able to add another chapter.

It took a lot of effort for Rhodes to prevaricate.

On Day No. 15, the worst came.

The invasion surface on the obelisk is no longer empty.

The blood-red words once again covered the surface of the monument, and they shone slightly, as if to symbolize some kind of terrifying ominousness.

caveat!

caveat!

caveat!

The scourge of the river of eternal death has awakened.

The invasion will come after 44 rounds of sunset.

-

Rhode's heart fell into the icy water all of a sudden.

The memory of the last invasion was still fresh in his memory. Hunting the Red Spirit almost used up all his luck, and he managed to kill it in the end.

There is no doubt that the disaster of the river of eternal death must be much stronger than hunting the red spirit.

No.

I have been stagnant at this stage for too long, [Justice Execution] is not full yet, I have to hunt monsters quickly.

We must hurry up and prepare the [Resurrection Stone] [Wooden Puppet].

If I continue to practice slowly like this, I will be finished.

Thinking of this, Rhodes was a little worried.

During the special training period, it is not that there are no tasks. The essence of the establishment of the secret branch is to fight, and the special training is only for them to better digest the gains in the battle.

And Rhodes was the last among them in terms of combat effectiveness, and there was a huge gap with the others. Instructor Sauron never sent him there.

really.

The next day, Rhodes' request was dismissed.

Sauron said that with his current physical combat skills, he couldn't even beat his grandma who was lying on the hospital bed.

Although Rhodes repeatedly stated that he was very capable, Sauron firmly disagreed unless he could beat any of these students.

If it's a life-and-death duel, Rhode's summons are all out, and all kinds of methods are used, and there is no guarantee that he will lose.

However, on the training ground, the two sides were only ten yards apart, and there were restrictions on the field, so Rhodes couldn't play at all.

People came up and disarmed him in a second, and he was out of action.

Later, Rhodes thought of a way.

He found the girl with red hair and gold armor.

This is the only one he can talk to among all the top class members.

"I'll give you a hundred silver ropes, and you'll pretend to lose to me later, okay?"

The Valkyrie smiled and clapped his hand: "No, the Valkyrie never says never."

"One thousand silver cords."

"it is good."

Money works its magic again though.

But Rhodes, who couldn't use ultimate moves, was too weak, and the Valkyrie couldn't even release water, so he just released a Pacific Ocean to lose the competition.

Because it was too fake, Sauron declared the competition invalid, which made Rhodes half dead.

The girl raised the bank note in her hand: "I won't pay back the money, but you can come to me if you need something later."

Rhodes was very frustrated.

[Justice Execution] requires a strong soul.

And monsters with this kind of soul are not allowed to exist in the [Safe Zone].

Once it appears, the Military War Department will immediately form a hunting team to clean it up.

If you go out alone, not to mention where to find it in the dark, it is very dangerous to meet alone without intelligence and logistical support.

After a few more days, things still didn't turn around.

Just when Rhodes was anxious like ants on a hot pot, a group of people suddenly came from the hidden branch base, which made his eyes shine.
