Chapter 109: The Beacon of the Falling Eagle (VI)
"Christie!!"
Rod looked up, and the sharp pain that had erupted in his brain disappeared almost instantly, but it was soon clear that something was not right. At this moment, in his eyes, it was no longer a dimly lit tunnel, just like that, the howling wind brushed over Rod's face, and at his feet was a tower made of smooth stone bricks, and as far as the eye could see, he could see the desolate field not far away. But......... This time it's different.
The dark clouds that had once shrouded the horizon were surging rapidly, and as the clouds moved, Rhodes could see the silhouette of a huge building disappearing in the sky they shrouded. He lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw the figure in his imagination.
"Christie."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Christie, however, it wasn't Christie's girl who stood quietly in front of Rod. But unlike the softness and calmness of the previous meetings with Rod, this time "Christie" appeared with an unprecedented solemn and uneasy look. She looked at Rhodes like this, turned away, and held out her finger forward. With Christie's movements, I saw that in front of the girl, the originally heavy clouds immediately rolled and parted to both sides, and then, the dazzling sunlight shone down from above.
At this moment, Rhodes only felt that the world in front of him had changed.
Before this, Rhodes had come here in two consecutive dreams, but at that time, the impression of this world was desolate to Rhodes, the whole land was dry, no grass grows, and those dry trees stood lifelessly on the Death Desert like dry bones, and there was nothing in the entire wasteland except this tower.........
But now, Rhodes has seen a different side of this world with his own eyes.
With the gentle moonlight piercing through the clouds. The originally dim world was suddenly smeared with a layer of bright brilliance, the clear blue sky was beautiful and dazzling, and the thick and dense dark clouds also turned into white clouds at this moment. The fresh green grass on the earth broke through the soil one by one, covering the originally desolate land. Even the dead trees were rejuvenated at this time. However, this was not what surprised Rhodes the most, after the clouds dispersed. Rhodes was surprised to find that in the sky above his head, there was actually a majestic and tall city! It was built on top of the clouds, moving slowly under the night sky, and the whole city looked like a dreamlike picture, full of glory and majesty as one with the starry sky.
But in the next moment, the beautiful picture changed.
Rows of illusory, translucent soldiers with weapons in their hands appear from afar, and they line up the phalanx. He walked forward with a serious expression. And at this very moment, the earth trembled.
Rhodes lowered his head, and then he was surprised to find that at the end of the horizon in the distance, a flood of dark waves roared, engulfing and sweeping everything in their path, the soldiers trying to hold back the raging waves, but they had not even done anything before they could disappear. Wrath. The tide of darkness crashed against the tower.
"Boom!!"
Rod even felt the tower under his feet shake at this time, until this time. Christie turned her head back and looked at Rod with sad eyes and opened her mouth.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ I need your help......... Rhodes ..............."
"Commander!!"
Rod opened his eyes suddenly.
Lijie's anxious face greeted, and he shook his head and looked up. I saw Christie falling into Annie's arms at this moment. She closed her eyes tightly and seemed to be in a coma, and Rod reached out to make sure Christie was breathing evenly and that he was okay. Then Rod stood up. Shook his head.
"I'm fine......... You're all okay. β
"We're all good, except for Christie."
Lijie looked at Christie with some uneasiness, she reached out and placed it on Christie's body, and soon, a soft light emerged from Lijie's palm, and then wrapped the girl's whole body. And Christie's originally pale complexion finally improved at this time, but she still had no intention of waking up from the coma.
"Your Excellency, you're alright."
At this time, even Soth came over and asked with some worry, Christy and Rod suddenly fell down just now and he was also surprised, but fortunately, Rod was only in a coma for a while, and immediately regained his senses. But this still made Soth a little frightened, and he hurried to Rod's side, but what Soth didn't expect was that Rod didn't answer his question, but frowned and looked at Soth. Because at this time, Rod suddenly had a very terrible idea.
"Soth, let me ask you, if I remember correctly, you should use the staff to obtain the inheritance of the ancestors, there is nothing wrong with that."
"That's right."
Although he didn't know why Rod would suddenly ask this question at this time, Soth still nodded.
"So, can you tell me how you're going to get the inheritance of your ancestors?"
"This ....................."
Hearing this, Soth hesitated, after all, this is the absolute secret of the War Tactics Order. But now, now that Rod has become his nominal master, and now that he is here, it is not as simple as asking this question to satisfy his curiosity, so he still stubbornly continued.
"This ......... Actually, we don't know very well, but according to the legend of the War Law Order, those who have inherited the Inheritance Path will automatically embark on the path of the soul that they are seeking, and they will follow the back of their ancestors to their eternal resting place, where they will receive their blessings and eventually be recognized..............."
Soth explained to Rod, but soon he noticed that Rod's face suddenly began to look ugly.
It was only at this time that Rod understood the ins and outs of the whole missionβββ eternal resting place? In the entire Dragon Soul Continent, there is only one place that can be called a hero's eternal resting place, and that is the Star Spirit Palace, one of the Seven Illusion Realms! There are the eternal heroic spirits of this continent, and those noble souls who have been celebrated in history will go to the Star Spirit Hall after their deaths. Originally, Rhodes didn't connect this matter with the War Tactics, after all, it was in his mind. The people who can go to the Star Spirit Hall are all legendary heroes, beings like Caless Duying, or noble heroes like Selestina (good or bad not to mention), as for the War Method? Ha, although these guys are highly powerful, they have never been famous in history. They have never appeared in any major battles, made any decisive sacrifices or contributions, so Rhodes has never connected them to the Star Spirit Temple.
But just now, after being guided by that Christie, Rod's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally understood that the reward for the task that the system would give him was about the Star Spirit Temple. Obviously, maybe the ancestors of the War Art Regiment are not qualified to enter the Star Spirit Palace, but it's not impossible to do things like the gate or something! What's more, judging by Soth's description. The ancestors of the War Art Order had clearly found a way to communicate with those ancestral spirits along with the Star Spirit Temple!
And now, these guardian spirits guarding the path are manipulated by the power of immortality, and it is very likely that there is a path to the Seven Illusion Realm, but it is sealed...............
Your sister!!
At this time, a cold sweat broke out on Rhodes's body, and it was obvious that the undead might be trying to break the seal and manipulate this passage connecting the Seven Illusion Realms. Although the Star Spirit Hall is different from the group of elemental creatures with milk and mothers in the four elemental planes. As heroes who were once heroes in their lifetime, they have their own persistence and perseverance, and they will not follow the commands of the undead at will. But the undead are perfect at soul manipulation. As you can see from the guardian spirits that were manipulated by the undead spells to attack them before, those damn undead creatures don't need to agree with the Heroic Spirits of the Star Spirit Temple at all, just summon them and then use the necromancer to manipulate their souls!
I have to admit that this is indeed a very ruthless move, if it really succeeds, then I am afraid that the place of Dongfang Mountain will be in chaos. No......... What's more, right now, I'm waiting for someone here. If the undead really succeeded, wouldn't they be worn to death by the endless army of Heroic Spirits?
Of course, considering that they have a "Return to the City Ring", it is not impossible to teleport back if they can't beat it. But the question is, if this opportunity is missed, then the genius knows if they will have a chance to complete this task next time.
"It's not a good situation right now, and we have to hurry."
After briefly explaining the situation to the crowd, Rhodes quickly gave the order. Hearing this, everyone also understood the urgency of the current situation, especially Soth, who was even more shocked and angry when he heard that the soul passage of the War Law Regiment was likely to be manipulated by the necromancer. Soon, the crowd regained their preparations and continued to gallop forward.
But the strange thing is that after the previous "earthquake", the guardian spirits who originally harassed and attacked Rhodes and others from all directions disappeared. Although this made everyone feel a little strange in their hearts, they did not slow down, and soon, under the leadership of Soth, they did not spend too much time to reach the end of the tunnel, where there was a heavy, tightly closed stone door.
"In the name of the Soul Dao Mark, I request that this ancient seal be lifted!"
Seeing the stone gate in front of him, Soth hurriedly raised the staff in his hand and called out loudly. This time, the stone gate finally reacted, and as mysterious magic runes emerged from the stone gate, I saw that the originally heavy and huge stone gate slowly spread out to both sides, revealing its inner form to everyone.
It was a huge underground plaza large enough to accommodate a thousand people. Around the square, there are carved stone statues of four or five meters high, all of which are the embodiment of the heroes of the War Troupe. The statues stood around the square, armed with weapons, and in the center of the square was a pyramid-like altar with a turquoise glow burning in the brazier in the middle of the altar.
"That's the fire of the soul! How is this possible? There is no way to ignite this flame without a soulless sign! β
Seeing this scene in front of him, Soth finally couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
And at this moment, suddenly, the burning flame began to move, and then, a figure condensed into shape from it, and walked out slowly. Immediately after, a hoarse, cold and eerie laugh rang out.
"Huhuhu.................. I didn't expect you to come back, Soth. β
"What ?!!"
Hearing this, Soth's face changed drastically, and he looked at the figure in front of him in disbelief, with a surprised expression on his face. Originally, Soth thought he would never hear it again, but now, when he heard it again, Soth even wondered for a moment if there was something wrong with his ears.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ It's you? β
