Chapter 120: Star Spirit Temple
The faint glow of the crystal-paved staircase stretched forward, suspended in the void, nothing to support or connect to, just floating silently. Rhodes walked up the stairs slowly, and came to the Star Spirit Hall located on the top of the mountain, and it was incredible that if he only used visual inspection, even if he walked along this staircase, it would take Rhodes half a night to reach the Star Spirit Hall. But in fact, in less than five minutes, Rhodes had already covered the entire journey. When his feet rested on the flat, clean and tidy square on the top of the mountain, Rod involuntarily looked back, only to see that the crystal stairs had disappeared without a trace. On the other side, Selestina also flapped her wings and gently stepped onto the square in front of her.
"Miss Ben has heard of the name of the Star Spirit Palace, and at the moment, it seems to be like that, although it is still a little worse than Miss Ben's castle, but it can barely be seen."
While carefully examining the palace in front of her, Selestina said that she didn't care. But after all, this is just the subjective evaluation of this devil lady. In fact, as far as Rhodes is concerned, even in his own world, he has never seen such an ethereal and beautiful palace.
The temple of the soul that unfolded before Rhodes was about twenty meters high, and its massive triangular roof was supported by nineteen tall statues of beautifully carved warriors in place of columns. In front of the palace is a flat square paved with turquoise stone slabs, and on both sides of the square are dozens of statues of young girls holding lanterns in their hands, and in the stone lanterns, they exude a white and soft glow. Although this glow is somewhat similar to the soul fire of the undead, it does not give people a cold feeling. On the contrary, even on this cold winter night, it makes people feel a little warm.
And the most attractive thing is the entire Star Spirit Hall itself, this building is completely unrecognizable what materials are used to build, in its tall and large. The smooth and flat walls reveal a dark night sky, in which the light of the stars shines and flows, as if it were a building made entirely of solid starry sky.
Rhodes walked to the gate of the Star Spirit Hall and looked ahead. The entire Star Spirit Hall exudes a faint light, under the illumination of the galaxy flowing under his feet, Rhodes can easily see everything inside, standing at the entrance, he can see the inner hall composed of three domes, and the shining starlight changes from time to time. A constellation is formed in an instant, then disappears. Those are the stars that once appeared in honor of the heroes of history, and now they are here silently telling the history of their masters.
On the way here, Rhodes had obtained all the information about the Star Spirit Temple from the system. True to its name, the Hall of the Stars can summon an army of all the famous Heroes in history. But it wasn't that Rhodes could summon whatever he wanted, as the most mysterious and sacred plane in the Seven Illusion Realms, Rhodes had to have something related to them in order to be able to connect with the passage to the Star Spirit Temple. Then summon those Heroic Spirits.
The current Star Spirit Hall is only the most primary, and Rhodes is limited to only one hundred Immortal warriors. It's not that Rhodes doesn't want to raise the level of the Star Spirit Temple, but it's a pity that the level of the Star Spirit Hall is not like the Silver Sea and the Burning Fire Plains, as long as there are enough materials and money to upgrade. On the contrary, it actually takes experience to upgrade the level of the Star Spirit Temple! And the source of its experience comes from the experience earned by the soldiers summoned from the Star Spirit Temple.
After seeing this, Rod himself thought that this was really a strange design. But fortunately, it is only the Star Spirit Temple itself that requires experience, and those Heroic Spirit soldiers do not need to be upgraded, as long as they are summoned, they will be in their peak state, which makes Rhodes breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if the Star Spirit Temple needs experience. Heroic soldiers also need experience, so let alone level eighty-five, I'm afraid it's impossible to get to level seventy.
"Jingle bell!"
Not long after Rhodes and Celestina walked to the gate of the Star Spirit Hall and stood still, there was a crisp tapping sound in the Star Spirit Hall. With the sound of this voice, a petite figure slowly walked out of it.
It was a girl, about Christie's size in appearance, dressed in a crisp white robe inlaid with gold thread, and dark brown leather boots on her feet. The girl held a silver tin staff in her small palm, and walked out expressionlessly, and after seeing the two of them, the girl stopped, and then she lowered her head and saluted Rhodes respectfully.
"Hello, my master, welcome to the Star Spirit Temple."
"You are ..............."
Rhodes raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl in front of him curiously, small and cute facial features, shoulder-length, and deep hair like night, making the girl in front of him look as delicate and beautiful as a doll. If there was a fly in the ointment, it was her lifeless eyes and expressionless face.
Although Rhodes himself is often expressionless, his emotions are mostly calm and indifferent. But this girl is completely different, there is no sparkle in her dim eyes, and she doesn't even see any self-will at all, more like the kind of NPC that Rhodes often sees in the game where the spirit is manipulated or destroyed, so that she completely loses herself, if she doesn't speak, just standing there, she will even be mistaken for a beautifully made puppet.
"I'm the shrine maiden of the Star Spirit Temple, Rasti."
Hearing Rod's question, the girl immediately answered, but her indifferent voice sounded more like a computer answering her master's question, without the slightest emotion.
"I will act as the master's messenger, communicate with the Star Spirit Temple, and use the power of the Star Spirit Temple to assist the master when necessary, including ....................."
In the face of Rod's inquiry, the girl named Rasti began to introduce her "functions" to Rod like a humanoid computer, and under Rasti's narration, Rod finally understood the identity of the girl. She is not a human being, nor is she a Heroic Spirit, if you use the analogy of Rhodes's world, the entire Star Spirit Temple is a system program. Then Rasti is one of the portable AI core control devices. Rhodes needs to use her to summon the Immortal Soldiers, and not only that, but she can also summon the Immortal Soldiers to her side. This also means that if Rhodes goes out in the future, if there are too many soldiers, he can choose to take Rasti out directly. Once on the battlefield, Rasti can summon the Heroic Soldiers directly to fight. And Rasti herself will not be killed, as a virtual core, if Rasti is killed, then she will be resurrected in the Star Spirit Temple. Of course, as the level of the Star Spirit Hall increases, Rasti's strength will also increase, and she has a variety of auxiliary abilities. But now......... In addition to helping Rhodes summon the Immortal Soldiers, she is also a mascot.
"Does the master need to summon the Immortal Soldiers?"
I talked about it for nearly half an hour. Even when Celestina was about to fall asleep, Lady finally ended the long self-explanation (yes, if it were printed as an instruction manual, I am afraid it would be as thick as a hundred pages), but what made Rod feel admiration was that even as a listener, he felt a little headache, but the girl in front of him didn't even stop and asked directly. This suddenly gave Rod a kind of online game responsibility statement from beginning to end, and then couldn't wait to jump out of a confirmation box, and at the same time told you a fact very seriously, and asked for immediate confirmationβββ Dear player, I am your father.
"Of course."
"So. Please give me the proof of my soul. β
Summoning Immortal Soldiers requires a medium, and Proof of Souls is Rhodes' summoning card. This was made very clear by Rashty when she introduced herself. Hearing Rasti's inquiry, Rhodes paused, then looked to the side. At the moment, the only cards that Rhodes can use to summon Immortal Soldiers are four of the Holy Sword decks, and the others are meaningless. The little mermaid has a water spirit like Rhodes, and the Seven Loves also have the same PASS because they already have the Fire Plains. The Star Spirit Palace, which is rarely built, is naturally impossible to waste on summoning beings of the same attribute.
Originally, Rhodes wanted Celestina to summon her men. However, after Celestina's expectant eyes appeared, Rhodes suddenly dismissed the idea. He didn't want to summon a group of high demons to swing around in his fortress, which would be a challenge to Lydia's prestige in person. Not to mention that even those high-level devils who can turn into human forms, Rhodes has to worry about those devils themselves, and he doesn't want to make his territory a miasma.
Celia didn't have to worry about that. But Rhodes couldn't explain to the others how he had created an entire legion of War Angels. It's okay to say that if you run around the streets with a hundred war angels, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not arouse the suspicion and worry of others. What's more, with Rod's methods, he is not sure whether which war angels will really do what he says.
Then then all that's left is ...............
Rod stretched out his hand, and soon, a card appeared in his hand, and then, Rod took the card and handed it over.
Lady respectfully stretched out her hands and took the card from Rod's hand, and then, she quietly stared at the holy sword card in her hand, and soon, the originally blank, unfocused eyes began to brighten.
"βββ has confirmed, the Soul Proof βββ Greyhill βββ is about to start summoning mode........."
With that, Rasti raised her head again and looked at Rhodes in front of her.
"Do you use this as a medium to summon the Legion of the Immortals?"
"Of course."
"Understood."
Hearing Rod's answer, Rashty didn't say anything more, instead, the girl reached out and threw it, only to see the two cards float into the air, spinning incessantly. Then, Rasti raised the tin staff in her hand and pointed lightly at the two cards.
"Boom !!"
The shining thunder and lightning roared down again, hitting the top of the Star Spirit Hall hard, and then, countless bright and dazzling arcs of lightning flew down the palace, forming a huge oval portal suspended in the air in the inner court.
Immediately after, dim figures emerged from it. (To be continued......)
