the last king of darkness

Chapter 516 Soul Weapon
The proposal to create a soul weapon for him had been proposed a long time ago, but due to various reasons, it has been delayed until now.

However, as Rhodes grew up, its specifications became higher and higher.

Not only did the caster choose Lei Lu, the best soul forging master, but the time it took him to make this weapon was also raised to an unlimited limit.

His time is precious, and few people have this kind of treatment.

And there is no limit to resources, you can use as much as you can.

For a rising star who is about to become the Son of Fire, his soul weapon should naturally be the best.

Seamans Factory is the only weaponry factory in Trorian, and its founder is Master Seamans.

He took the lead in inventing the concept of standard equipment, which greatly reduced the production cost and time of equipment, enabling most fighters to have cheap but easy-to-use weapons and equipment.

More than that, Master Seamans is a legendary casting master. He invented and improved countless weapons and equipment throughout his life. Psychic guns and psionic cannons are all his works, and the super-large resonating plate of the artifact is also his work. one of his masterpieces.

But it is a pity that he disappeared after challenging the realm of the gods to "make a real artifact".

Lost along with it are many of his works that have not yet been published.

Inheriting the mantle of Seamans has always been the lifelong dream of the foundry masters in the royal city.

Finding his remains is also one of Wangcheng's dreams for hundreds of years.

In the centuries since Seamans' disappearance, the Seamans Works has grown and grown, becoming both a concentration and a sanctuary for the Founders.

They are here to study, communicate and make progress.

When their skills are recognized and they have the title of master, they can get a piece of their own territory here, and they are allowed to establish their own family and forge weapons for high-ranking combatants.

It is the lifelong pursuit of all foundries to have their own foundry and foundry tower in Seamans Works.

The foundry masters in Wangcheng are all stationed in the Seamans workshop.

Soul forging master Lei Lu is the most famous of them.

In the second half of the Seamans workshop, there are many towers and foundries.

And his tower is the most conspicuous among them.

It was a huge building made of steel and copper, in a weird inverted ladder shape, and Rhodes saw it from a long distance away.

Crossing the avenue full of slag, under the roar of the big workshop and the fiery red light of the blast furnace, under the splashing sweat of the foundry maker and the sparks from the hammer, Rhodes followed the footsteps of Horus and walked into the building.

Under the inverted ladder building is a circular workshop.

There are many separate blacksmith shops in the workshop, and the sound of jingling can be heard endlessly. This place is different from the outside. The custom-made weapons are manufactured. The cost and power are much higher than the standard weapons, and they are mostly provided to middle and high-level combatants.

Those here are all apprentices with strong skills. They worship Master Leilu and learn his soul forging skills, hoping to occupy a place here one day.

All eyes turned when Horus stepped through the gate.

The archbishop is not an ordinary person. His visit must mean that Master Leilu will personally forge a soul weapon for a certain strong man.

Everyone was excited, and being able to witness Master Leilu forging soul weapons was the greatest learning in itself.

Immediately, someone rushed into the tower to report the news, and someone moved a chair for Horus, but he stopped them all.

"No, let's go to Master Lei Lu in person."

Under everyone's admiring and expectant eyes, Horus led Rhodes into the tower.

The interior of the tower is like a huge manufacturing workshop, full of iron ingots, iron felts, fiery blast furnaces, precious materials, and half-finished equipment.

Horus seemed to have been here many times, and led Rhodes to find Master Lei Lu in a corner of the third floor.

This is a standard burly man, wearing only a pair of shorts. His bare upper body is full of gnarled muscles, thick arms and thighs, tendons all over his body, bronze-colored skin, and beards all over his face.

At the moment, he is sitting on top of two cardboard boxes, with his right elbow propped on his left leg and his cheek resting.

That image reminded Rhodes of The Thinker.

"Relu."

Horus' voice woke him up.

"Rhode is here. The king told you that his soul weapon is quite special. I hope you can come up with the best plan."

Relu raised his head, his copper-bell-like eyes radiated an astonishing light.

"You are Rhodes?"

Rhodes took half a step back in shock.

"Uh, it's me."

Relu jumped up.

"Okay! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Your soul weapon will be my lifelong challenge and my first step into the realm of gods! I will inherit the mantle of Master Seamans!"

"Horus, you can go, and leave the rest to me."

Horus frowned slightly.

"Lei Lu, you might be wrong, Rhodes can't give it to you, he still has a lot of important things, he doesn't have time to stay here, you only have a short time to customize a soul weapon for him, and then collect the materials, He will only be present during the final refinement."

Lei Lu's face suddenly collapsed.

"What did you say? Are you mentally retarded? Horus, the soul weapon that cannot cut the soul, there is not enough time to customize it, do you think the soul weapon is a toy made of urine and mud?"

Horus said with a worried face: "Lei Lu, you have to know that the person standing in front of you is a black idiot!"

Lei Lu's momentum became weaker, but he still refused to admit defeat and shouted: "What's wrong with the black idiot? If I want to create the most perfect, most powerful, and most suitable soul weapon, the white idiot has to stay here for me too." moon!"

The tone of Horus was obviously angry: "Lei Lu! Please pay attention to your words! You can't speak of a black idiot in such a contemptuous tone! He is the son of fire! The strongest new star of the kingdom! Our hope!"

Relu retorted: "But Soul Weapon doesn't agree with this! It takes time!"

Horus raised his voice: "You need to understand the weight of the words "black rice bucket!"

Lei Lu retorted with the same voice: "You need to understand the power of soul weapons!"

The two started a fierce argument based on the black rice bucket and the soul weapon, and no one gave in to the other.

Rhodes covered his face, trying to find something like a crack in the ground to get in.

In the end, Horus and Relu reached a compromise and decided to extend Rhodes' stay here to half a day on the basis of the original.

Horus said coldly, "You've wasted half a day of our precious time! Hope it wasn't wasted."

Leilu rubbed his big hands excitedly: "You will know that this half day is worth it!"

He turned his head, looked at Rhodes and said with a smile.

"Little guy, come with me."

Rhodes scratched his head, feeling that Lei Lu's smile was a bit like a strange uncle looking at goldfish.

But Horus was on the side, and there should be no danger, so he followed Leilu and walked over.

The three walked towards the top of the tower, during which Relu tried many times to drive away Horus, but failed.

Horus told him in a questioning tone that Rhodes was absolutely not allowed to leave his sight. Even though he and Lei Lu had been friends for 30 years, the suspicion that he would be controlled by Doomsday Cultists could not be ruled out.

Whenever Rhodes is in the royal city, he must ensure his safety.

Lei Lu hated it very much, but for the quality of the soul weapon, he still held his nose and accepted it.

Soon, they came to the top of the tower.

In a huge room, Rhodes saw countless soul crystals, they formed a precise formation, white light refracted between the crystals, making the whole room as bright as snow.

"Little Rhodes."

Relu suppressed excitement in his tone.

"This is the most precise soul detection. It can magnify and magnify your soul, and you can see every strand of hair clearly."

"I will get your complete soul configuration here, which is the basis of your soul weapon."

Rhode touched the corner of his mouth, walked in according to Lei Lu's instructions, and stood on the most central disc.

Lei Lu activated the soul crystal array, and countless white lights reflected in the room, blocking the line of sight.

Under his control, the white light quickly became orderly, sweeping across Rhodes with a certain pattern.

The result of the feedback appeared in a crystal in Leilu's hand.

With the deepening of the inspection, the blurred figure in the crystal gradually became clear with details.

Leilu muttered words, constantly manipulating the white light to scan the still blurred areas of the soul.

Horus frowned on the side, and murmured in a low voice: "His soul structure is very strange, why are these parts so long... and there is no typical configuration of the spark sequence..."

After about seven hours, the shadow in the crystal finally became extremely clear, and every detail was vivid.

At first glance, it looks like a dark cloud covered with hair, which is very weird.

Leilu shouted excitedly: "Okay! Very good! I like weird challenges the most! Seamans is blessing me!"

He turned off the soul crystal, and the white light gradually fell.

Rhode's figure appeared, and asked a little confused: "Is it finished?"

Leilu smiled and said: "It's done, Rhodes, you are really extraordinary. There are not ten thousand souls in my hands, but eight thousand. You are the strangest, weirdest, and most incomprehensible. I don't think you should It's called a black rice bucket, but it should be called a long-haired monster, and the soul is covered with tiny invisible long hairs, just like tentacles that receive fluctuations in the spirit world, it's really unbelievable."

Rhode's heart trembled, and he said with a dry smile: "Hahaha, isn't it? I think the name long-haired monster is also very good, better than the black rice bucket!"

Horus' face sank: "Don't talk nonsense! Rhodes, the black rice bucket is our banner and confidence now, how can we change it casually? I have already ordered people to build a big statue with the words "black rice bucket". On the cliffs of the Ember Mountains, if there are no accidents, these four words can be passed down for at least ten thousand years."

At this moment, Rhodes was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

He covered his face and didn't want to say anything.

Lei Lu didn't notice Rhode's discomfort, and asked in an expectant tone: "Little Rhodes, you should know the meaning of the soul weapon, it is the extension of your soul, the second life, the third leg, Its existence will greatly enhance your combat power, and even have the effect of turning fossils into gold. For example, Jeraba, the son of fire, his soul hammer has completely liberated his characteristics, so he has the current combat power. "

"However, there is no fixed form for the manufacture of soul weapons. Every soul weapon is unique. Therefore, I would like to ask you first, what kind of soul weapon do you need? In your most perfect fantasy , what weapon are you using?"

Horus replied first: "I think it's best to build him a black bucket-shaped weapon, which is more in line with his image and is also convenient for the Holy Church to promote."

Before Rhodes could speak, Leilu shouted, "Shut up! Don't interfere with the in-depth collision between our souls. This is his soul weapon, not yours."

Horus closed his mouth, and in absolute silence, Rhodes replied hesitantly.

"I, I don't know... I use swords most, followed by firearms, but I never thought about what weapon I should use."

Lei Lu thought for a moment, then asked from another angle: "What about your abilities? What kind of abilities do you think you need?"

Rhodes frowned and thought for a long time. Now he is almost all-rounder, whether it is melee or long-range, whether it is single or melee, whether it is conventional combat or explosive combat, he has the means.

The only regret is time.

He is always short of time.

"lasting."

Rhode blurted out.

"I need to last."

Lei Lu suddenly realized: "I understand! You need a soul weapon to strengthen the bed."

Rhodes almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, but luckily Lei Lu explained with a smile.

"Just kidding, don't mind, I know what you mean, after all, I have heard the legend about you, and my ears are callused."

Horus said angrily: "Be serious! Relu!"

"I just liven up the atmosphere."

Relu shrugged, he stood up, two heads taller than Rhodes.

"Rod."

He looked down at Rhodes, his copper bell-like eyes radiated a frightening light, and asked in an unprecedented serious tone.

"If the royal city is about to be destroyed, what will you do?"

The air became tense, and Horus did not speak.

Rhodes pondered for a moment, then replied cautiously: "If monsters attacked the city, I might use psionic multiplayer... If the holy fire goes out, then I can only bring the seeds of the holy fire with me, how many people can be saved, how many people can I save?" how many people."

In the dull atmosphere, no one spoke.

Until a smile appeared on Lei Lu's face.

"Rhode, one last question, if you can't divide the soul, how can I make a soul weapon?"

Rhodes immediately summoned the Phantom of Strong Wind:
"This is my phantom! It is inseparably linked to my soul! You may be able to use it instead of dividing my soul."

Relu's eyes widened instantly.

"This, this is the physical projection? Oh my god, I saw it, it's independent, but it's yours..."

He caressed the phantom like a rare treasure.

"It's just a miracle, no, no, it's not just a miracle, it seems to be enhanced."

Rhodes admired Lei Lu's vision very much. Summoning the phantom of the strong wind requires a degree of compatibility. 80% is the minimum value for summoning. A higher degree of compatibility requires his meditation.

Since there is not much time, what is summoned now is only the lowest value.

"Yes, it can be better."

Lei Lu grinned and said with a big smile: "Okay, I already have a plan, I will definitely create a soul weapon comparable to a real artifact, please lend me this phantom for research, on the day of casting the weapon, I will inform you, at that time, you must bring the most perfect phantom over."

Rhodes immediately agreed: "Okay, I will do it."

Afterwards, Lei Lu was immersed in the study of phantoms and ignored them.

Horus seemed satisfied with Relu's promise, and took Rhodes out of the tower.

After successively visiting the Sigvi Food Factory and the Byron Alchemy Pharmaceutical Factory, Horus finally received the news.

The king recovered.

His heart grew back.
