the last king of darkness

Chapter 219 Goddess
The task of hunting the dragon was successfully completed.

Only one hunter was seriously injured, and he was immediately sent to the church medical center. Several central medical practitioners came to treat his injuries and purify the corruption in his soul.

His injury quickly stabilized and his prognosis is good.

Others suffered only minor injuries and were quickly treated.

The only thing that is more worrying is that the black fog at the bottom of the sewer is thick, and the corrosion of the magic dragon is strong, and everyone has been corroded to varying degrees.

Fortunately, the time was short, and it did not invade the core of the soul.

When the soul priest cleaned up the corrosion for them, he unexpectedly discovered that Rhode's soul was pure and flawless, without any trace of blackening.

This is a very rare thing.

It is impossible for human beings born in this dark world to be completely inaccessible to the black mist, and there are traces of corrosion and blackening in anyone's soul.

"This is really strange. Your soul structure is very perfect, as pure as a virgin, as if you were born in a world full of sunshine and without any distortion, corruption, erosion and distortion."

The soul priest praised sincerely.

"And, you are still in that world."

Rhodes asked a little uneasy: "Is there a problem?"

"Problem?" The soul priest was surprised: "Why is there a problem? This is a miracle, the blessing of fire!"

The surrounding hunters all made exclamations of wonder.

Athos said with a smile: "As expected of our new star, the soul is different from others."

Jahan, the leader of the hunter group, was also smiling.

The corrupted dragon was successfully removed, and the threat of the sewers was reduced again.

Sooner or later, humans will completely control this royal city.

The Hunter Group will also be commended by Wangcheng for this, and this year they may be able to get more resources from the Supreme Council.

"Sorry, Mr. Rhodes, I misunderstood you as a bad guy who bullies others, but I didn't expect you to be our new star."

Jahan touched his bald head.

"In order to express my apologies, I decided to specially award you the title of Old Hunter. Together with the rewards of the Dragon Quest, your Hunter Medal of Honor has exceeded a thousand."

"Now, you can make an appointment with Master Leilu to forge a soul weapon for you."

Rhodes asked: "Who is Master Leilu?"

Jahan said proudly: "The best soul forging master in Wangcheng, he was also a hunter, so he will give preferential treatment to hunters who forge weapons with him."

Athos reminded: "But you need to prepare the materials yourself. The opportunity is rare. You must prepare the best materials to create a unique soul weapon."

Rhodes hadn't touched the soul weapon yet, so Athos briefly introduced it.

Weapon tiers are measured in rarity.

In ancient times, people believed that the more precious things were, the rarer they were. Although the current research shows that this view is not very accurate, in order to commemorate the achievements of ancient researchers and not cause confusion in the habit, Wangcheng still uses this standard.

The levels from low to high are flood (garbage), numerous, common, rare, extremely rare, and unique.

And the soul weapon that has reached the unique level is the most perfect weapon, with extremely strong spirituality, and it is very suitable for the master. It can make up for the master's shortcomings, or strengthen the master's strengths, or match the master's characteristics, so that the master's actual combat ability can be improved. Several steps.

But it is also very difficult to make it. In addition to a large number of precious materials, it also needs to be carefully crafted by the top masters, and there must be a certain chance to succeed.

Although it is not really the only one, it is also one of the few in the royal city.

"You can make an appointment now. Master Leilu is busy, and it usually takes a while to get your turn."

Rhodes thought for a while, he remembered that besides the Hunter Medal of Honor, he also had the Royal City Medal of Honor.

Wang once reminded him that it can be used to exchange materials.

"Okay." Rhodes agreed: "Make an appointment for me now."

So, things settled down.

It's another happy day and everyone is happy.

Except A Duo.

After the disturbance in the tavern, Rhode's true colors were exposed, but he didn't hide much.

But for A Duo, it was a major blow.

The big brother in her mind was originally three years younger than her. The dream of her big brother and little sister living happily together suddenly shattered, and many carefully conceived and indescribable scenes became unacceptable.

But Rhodes said a few words of consolation, saying that he looks like a primary school student (16 years old) on the outside, but inside is the soul of a big brother.

As long as he is a big brother in his heart, he will always be a big brother.

Having said that, A Duo turned his worries into joy again.

Rhodes also took the opportunity to inquire about some news about Memphis from her.

It's a pity that there is nothing particularly useful. I only know that she prefers to drink marigold plum wine.

Seeing that A Duo began to obsessively invite him to her house to see the flowing lily, Rhodes said goodbye and returned to the secret base to continue his practice mission.

The gains from this trip far exceeded imagination, 33 souls were enough for him to raise [Sense of God] to a higher level.

He also made an appointment with a weapon master, and Rhodes was determined to create a weapon that had nothing to do with sewers and rice buckets.

The only bad thing is that he owed Void a large amount of psionic energy, and he had to start borrowing money to survive, using [Awakening] like crazy.

[Stone of Resurrection] Hurry up, or I will hang up as soon as the debt is due.

Although the medicine woman disappeared, Rhodes was not worried, but it was a pity that the divinity had not been covered for two days, and it was almost used up again.

Before going to bed, he specially found a wealthy lady like Kashan to learn the social etiquette of the upper circle of Wangcheng.

-

the next day.

Rhodes got up early in the morning, cleaned himself up carefully, put on a set of exquisite clothes, left the base, boarded the carriage, and arrived at No. 17 Huathorn Street.

This is a very bustling street, and today is the fire day, the street is full of people, the shops on both sides are coming and going, and there are noisy shouts one after another.

Rhode walked according to the house number, turned from the bustling street to the gloomy alley, and found the house number of No. 17 Huathorn Street in front of an old attic.

Rhodes coughed and knocked on the door.

"Is Mephis there? I'm Rhodes."

The sound of crisp footsteps came from the door, and a few seconds later, with a creak, the old mahogany door was opened.

Memphis is inside.

Today, she has obviously done some dressing up, wearing a long dress as white as a white flower, which complements her silver hair and silver eyes.

A little bit of sunlight refracted in from the gaps in the alley and shone on her beautiful side face. The long crystal pendant swayed gently on her delicate cheeks, refracting thousands of brilliance, reflecting her like a goddess.

In this gray and old environment, only she is dazzling, like a white flower blooming in corruption.

Rhodes was a little absent-minded for a while, but he remembered what he learned yesterday, took a step forward, and bowed gracefully.

"Miss Memphis, it's an honor to meet you. Your beauty is as dazzling as the sun, and as elegant as the moon."

Since Mephis didn't move, Rhodes had no choice but to gently hold her slender hand and kiss the back of her hand.

A cool feeling came from her lips, and her skin was as white as jade.

Memphis watched his movements, the sun shone on her silvery eyes, reflecting an indifferent look, and said softly, "Come in."

She turned and walked in, and Rhodes hurriedly closed the door and followed her.

The dim light in the room proves that her spiritual lamp is small, the interior space is small, the layout is simple, and the furniture is old, which shows that she is living in poverty.

This is not normal.

While thinking, Rhodes racked his brains to find topics.

But Mephis didn't answer, and went all the way to the innermost part of the attic, her bedroom.

This place is even simpler and narrower, with only a bed with a gray curtain, an old wardrobe, and a table.

Memphis said softly, "Did you bring the puppet wood?"

"I have it, no, no, I didn't bring it, why should I bring that thing?"

Memphis took out a puppet wood from the table and handed it to him.

"Use it on me."

Rhodes frowned slightly.

The reason why the puppet wood is listed as a prohibited object is because it can control people's spirit and make people obedient like a puppet. Some lawbreakers use it to do some evil things, so it is strictly controlled by Wangcheng.

But when he saw Mephis' eyes, he still took the puppet tree, pointed at her, and poured spiritual energy into it.

An invisible spiritual thread rises from the puppet tree and reaches her.

Memphis didn't raise his spiritual energy, and completely gave up resistance.

However, after the spiritual thread came into contact with her spirit, not only did it fail to control her, but instead rolled back, trying to control itself through the puppet tree.

And Rhodes is protected by humanity, and all corruption, erosion, control, and seduction aimed at the soul will not work.

Hearing a clang, the thread of the spirit broke, and the puppet tree in his hand turned into powder.

Memphis said softly, "Disappointed? I'm immune to mind control."

Rhodes patted the crumbs on his hands, and said with a smile, "Why? Isn't this a good thing?"

Mephis looked at him indifferently, and said softly: "I feel loss and regret from your emotions."

"One of five hundred silver cords, why don't you give it to me?"

Memphis said lightly: "I have something more important for you."

She took a few steps back and stood by the bed.

"I am very grateful for what happened yesterday, and I also know that you only helped me because of my appearance..."

Rhodes coughed: "I need to reiterate my words. I hope you can be my companion because our abilities match very well."

Memphis said softly, "They all say that."

"But I'm different."

Mephis suddenly smiled, her silver hair and silver eyes shining brightly in the dim light.

She turned around in a circle, and the skirt flew up like white flowers in full bloom.

"Am I pretty?"

"No one is more beautiful than you."

"Am I in good shape?"

"Exquisite curves, graceful many times, swaying and shining, it is coveted."

"Want to sleep with me?"

Before Rhodes could figure out how to answer, Memphis had already put his hand on his collar, and gently took off the necklace hidden in his shirt.

"Let's take a look at my inner essence first."

In the next instant, silver-white starlight fell like a cloud, covering her figure.

When the star fog dissipated, the beautiful goddess turned into a monster-like old woman, with raised eyebrows, bloody mouth, and wrinkles like dead branches all over her face.

Her long silver hair turned into grizzled weeds, her silver eyes turned into cloudy eyeballs, the snow-white long dress formed a huge contrast with her haggard body, beautiful hair accessories and delicate crystal pendants reflected her The appearance like a ghost is even more disgusting.

This extremely ugly old woman is the disappeared medicine woman.

She showed a ghostly smile and asked hoarsely, "Want to sleep with me?"

The shock of this scene is enough to make any normal person go crazy.

However, Rhodes only showed a smile.

He bowed gracefully again, took her right hand like a chicken paw, and kissed the wrinkled back of her hand lightly.

"If you want, I promise."

A deadly silence reigned in the small bedroom.
