the last king of darkness

Chapter 205 The Tower of Light

Rhodes didn't go back, and Dalin asked him to live in the military war department for the past few days, saying that he was familiar with the legion and war affairs in advance.

Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning in the words was very clear - he was about to assume a certain level of position in Wangcheng.

This is also Theodore's arrangement.

Wang kept his promise.

Rhodes was inexplicably excited, he finally took this step.

Molly, the female dispatcher with a cold expression, arranged a room for him and gave him a crystal whistle for short-range psionic communication, telling him that if he needed anything, he could call her anytime.

Rhodes went to bed after a brief wash.

This time he didn't pinch the gesture, but meditated according to the method Theodore taught him, and entered the dreamland in the dreamland.

Darkness overwhelms the spirit, and absolute silence oppresses the eardrums.

After an unknown amount of time, Rhode suddenly felt that he could open his eyes.

So, once again, he saw the dream shrouded in a silent mist.

Everything about it is gray, like burnt ashes, and the idea of ​​color has faded from everything.

Other than the obelisk, it was the only thing in the dream that was strongly colored.

Today's obelisk is more than ten yards high, it is located in the very center of the dreamland, below is the huge Star Square, surrounded by huts and altars, and in the distance is a white jade square, where Theodore's statue stands. superior.

No matter how many times he watched it, Rhodes couldn't help marveling at its magic. It was like a creation that gathered all miracles, bringing him a new life and endless possibilities, as well as death and crisis.

But what exactly it is, Rhodes is still unclear, only knows that the dream actually has a boundary, it is floating in the river of eternal death in the spirit world.

And the crisis he is currently facing requires him to leave the River of Eternal Death.

However, he still doesn't know how to leave. He originally thought that he could get dream fragments in this mission, but in fact he didn't.

Am I wrong?The chief dean didn't think so far?

However, when Rhodes walked into the hut, he immediately noticed that there was one more thing in the hut, a sterling silver platform, at the bottom of the room, facing the stone platform at the front.

A silver foggy ball suspended on the silver platform, when Rhodes touched it, he immediately got its information in his mind.

Terrace of Light.

Rhodes' eyes widened in an instant. Isn't this the tool that can manipulate dreams as mentioned in the Book of Knowledge?

When did I get the shards?

Rhodes recalled carefully, but did not find any chance to obtain fragments.

The dream fragments have a strong attraction to him, and it is impossible not to notice it.

The only possibility is the gap between death and resurrection.

But unless there happens to be a shard where he resurrects, it's hard to imagine how.

Ok.

Rhodes thought for a while and couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, as long as the chief dean is good.

What to do now is to quickly manipulate the dream to leave the river of eternal death and get rid of the invasion of the ancient god Heragtos.

But how?
Rhodes tried to manipulate the Terrace of Light, but there was no response.

He went to ask the book of knowledge, but this guy hadn't recovered from the last rage, and he refused to open the pages of the book.

When he was at a loss, Rhode suddenly remembered that the book angrily told him last time not to touch its back.

Hmm, maybe try it.

So Rhode frantically touched the back of the book, and sure enough, the book opened with a bang, and the pages flipped. He seemed very angry, but he couldn't write a single word.

It seems that if I don't ask questions, it can't answer.

Rhodes thought to himself and asked, "How to operate the Terrace of Light?"

A large piece of garbled code suddenly appeared on the book of knowledge, and its speed was so fast, it was like a programmer smashing the keyboard frantically.

It wasn't until the garbled characters turned over half of the book that the normal dream text appeared.

"You shameless scoundrel! Scoundrel! Thur!"

Each word takes up an entire page and is bold and bold.

Rhodes smiled and said, "Answer my question, or I will hold you and touch it every day, during the day, at night, and even when I sleep, not only the back of the book, but also the front and back of the book, and the cracks under the pages."

The book of knowledge seemed to be frantic, all the pages were trembling, making a rattling sound, wishing to jump up and slap him to death.

Rhodes smiled and said, "I'll ask again, how to operate the Terrace of Light? You don't need to answer."

In the end, the Book of Knowledge calmed down, and a line of scribbled words appeared on the page.

"The book of knowledge must answer the master's question, but I can fill it with invalid answers. You must promise to feed me one hundred parts of spirituality every day, otherwise I will never give in."

Rhodes smiled and said, "Okay, I promise." He took out a hundred copies of spirituality from the storage under the stone platform and fed it to it.

The Book of Knowledge swallowed spirituality with the mouth made up of patterns on the cover. It looked much calmer, and answered Rhodes' question again.

"Infuse your spirituality into the silver core of the Terrace of Light."

"My spirituality? Is it in danger?"

"Spirituality is the blood of the soul. It is responsible for transmitting the power of the soul and the will of the spirit. As long as it is not used in excess, there is no danger."

"How do I get my spirituality out?"

"Use the thorn of the spirit to pierce the soul." The book of knowledge tells in detail the method of separating one's own spirituality.

The method is not difficult, and Rhodes quickly mastered it.

Looking at the 01:30 clear goo oozing from his fingertips, he felt genuinely miraculous.

"So it can be like this. In this way, spiritual items and spiritual materials all have souls?"

"No, they just have similar properties and can transmit psionic energy or the will of the soul. But in essence, the formation of spiritual matter is somewhat similar to the soul."

Rhodes patted the back of the book and said with a smile, "I understand, thank you, Book of Knowledge."

The Book of Knowledge wrote a word: "Humph!" and closed it with a bang.

Rhodes put the book of knowledge back on the shelf and came to the stand of light.

Pierce the soul as you just learned, and smear your own spirituality on the silver orb.

The silver ball emitted a misty light, and Rhodes felt a powerful attraction pulling his soul.

It was dark, as if falling into a black hole.

When the sight was restored, Rhodes found that he was traveling through the boundless sky.

Smoke, thin clouds, and light clusters shining with various colors quickly passed by.

And under the boundless clouds and mist, there is an incomparably huge river. It traverses the sky, with one end invisible and one end invisible. Countless gray water vapor rushes in the river, and in the water vapor there are countless skeletons, ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts. The body was ups and downs struggling.

Rhodes instantly realized that this is the river of eternal death!The ancient god Heragatos is silent in the depths of the Dead River!

He looked around, and everything was covered in fog, with clouds and smoke covering the sky and the earth.

This was different from the spirit world he had seen before. There were no messy color patches, no heavy colored light bands, and the smoke was so light that he could see far away.

Is this the upper echelon of the spirit world?

Rhodes looked down at himself, and a translucent spherical cavity was flying forward. Inside the cavity was a tumbling chaotic mist. Its color was dim and gray, as if it had lost its color, but it was densely condensed and invisible. to the depths.

Is this a dream?
Is it just an empty bubble that shuttles in the sky of the boundless spiritual world?
Rhodes tried to manipulate it, and the cavitation really changed direction, and the surrounding smoke and light clouds were disturbed and spread outward.

In the depths of the boundless dead river, a huge shadow flashed past.

Rhode felt a chill in his heart, as if something indescribable was watching it, thinking of the many abnormalities of the dream, and the invasion like a gangrene, I am afraid that the existence of the dream would not be tolerated by this world.

He quickly changed back to the direction of the bubble, thinking to himself: "I must pay attention to concealment, and don't disturb too much, so as not to be targeted by some unknown beings."

However, the high level of the spiritual world is boundless, he seems to be floating in the nebula of the universe, and the dead river below traverses the interstellar like a galaxy, with no end in sight, nor depth.

Looking around, I can't find my way.

However, Rhodes soon realized that the dream came from the "Abyss of Darkness" to the "River of Eternal Death".

So, just fly back in the direction, can't you leave the "River of Eternal Death"?
But is there enough time?
While hesitating, Rhodes suddenly saw that a faint trail was left behind where the cavitation bubble flew past. The farther away, the larger the trail expanded.

Uh...does this mean that as long as I fly forward, the influence will get bigger and bigger?
Rhodes decisively turned the bubble around and flew back along the trail.

Then, he was surprised to find that the speed of the cavity was getting faster and faster, as if sliding on a smooth track.

But for a moment, its speed was at least ten times faster than before.

Rhodes frowned.

The phenomenon of the spirit world and dreams has gone far beyond his knowledge system.

I'm going to take the time to go to the big library mentioned by the chief dean to check the information.

Maybe it will be of some help.

Rhode watched the dream fly for a while, and then retracted after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

When Rhodes returned to the hut, he didn't feel anything special. The platform of light stopped glowing after he moved his fingers, but the cavitation bubbles could still be seen flying on the silver core.

Until he left, the dream was still speeding up.

From this point of view, there must be enough time. In a few days, he will leave the "River of Eternal Death" and return to the "Abyss of Darkness".

Rhodes was temporarily relieved, the crisis caused by "quantification" was finally over.

Afterwards, he inspected all parts of the dream.

The newly added [Flesh Puppet], [Flesh Armor], [Soul Defense], [Calus Tongwen Heavy Cannon], [Pioneer of Destruction] and other five new items on the stone platform can be made if there is a way to make them. His cards.

There are still enough materials in the storage place, but the spiritual consumption is a bit high, so pay attention to replenishing.

There are six stars shining in the obelisk, and the "quantified" [Darkness Devourer] has become the brightest star in the night sky. The dark red light is fixed in the center of the starry sky, like a giant star watching him. Eye.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Rhodes feels that its light is still getting stronger.

The other three stars have also reached the state of "eternal flame". If you can find "Ash of the Ancient God", "Sacred Blood Gem" and "Core of the Spiritual World", [Broken Blue] [Justice Execution] [Spirit Boat] can also " quantified".

But that's not something that can be done now.

The other two stars [Elegy of the Spirit] and [Sense of God] are still in the state of "dark fire".

None of them can be upgraded without "soul firewood".

But to make firewood for the soul, you need divinity.

Rhodes frowned slightly, and looked at the method of obtaining divinity again:

[Enhance the possibility of inheriting the fire of civilization, and support the civilization that is sliding into the dark abyss. 】

I have completed two major tasks in a row, and haven't I supported human civilization a bit?

Rhodes found it difficult to understand.

After killing Gregor and ending the trial, he gained a little divinity.

Couldn't these two tasks be compared to killing Gregor?

If there is no divinity, not only the stars cannot be promoted, but also important items such as the "Resurrection Stone" cannot be made.

Wait a minute.

Rhodes thought.

Maybe divinity will come after the battle is over.

After that, Rhodes looked at the stone vat of evil spirits, the altar of souls, the egg of evil spirits, and the statue of Theodore, but nothing changed much.

The only pity is that this time he didn't gain much from his soul. The phantom of the headmaster didn't seem to be his property, and the monster it killed had nothing to do with him.

Except for a little soul fragment, there is only one [Soul of Thieves King Mitus].

Rhodes went back to ask the Book of Knowledge again.

The book is much more honest now, it told him that the most complete soul, besides devouring and sacrificing, can also be destroyed and burned.

"Burning" destroys the soul, allowing him to acquire one of the abilities it is best at, which lasts for one star cycle, which is seven days.

Rhode's heart moved, isn't the king of thieves best at stealing?

Yes, this function is very useful and can be considered in the future.

Rhodes sacrificed all the fragments, added his soul to the stars, and glanced at the numbers on the obelisk:

Soul Strength: 15515
Soul Stars: 6
Humanity: 55611
Divinity: 6
Spiritless Soul: 0
I was a little satisfied, but also a little worried.

He let out a long breath, feeling that he had gained a lot this time. He had initially touched the essence of dreams, avoided the threat of the ancient gods' invasion, and successfully trained the Book of Knowledge.

The only problem is that the divinity is extremely lacking, and there is no hole card.

Work hard.

My future is definitely bright.

Rhodes smiled slightly, returned to the rocking chair, fell into a dreamless and sweet sleep, and hid the last sentence in his heart.

The road will also be lubricated.
