Chapter 161: The Source of the Tinder
It's not always a good thing that your hands are too red.
Although Marlene did find a treasure that is rare for almost everyone in a thousand years, it is a hot potato for Rod. The value of the Fantasy Magic Stone in the Dragon Soul Continent is enough for a country to start a war for it. Rhodes was sure that if the revelation of his possession of the Fantasy Stone was revealed, he was afraid that the Night Kingdom would find a new target for attack. After all, for the undead creatures who are most comfortable using soul power, this is simply the most dazzling treasure. And if you can obtain the Fantasy Magic Stone, the overall combat power of the Night Nation will also increase by more than one level. Piff is not guilty, Rod himself has snatched this thing before, so he naturally knows what kind of danger this thing in his hand will bring to him now. At the beginning, Starlight occupied two-thirds of the Continent of Light, and the power was unparalleled for a while, and there were players who dared to risk being chased and killed to the risk of being deleted to steal this thing.
Fortunately, only Marlene and Rod knew about this matter, and after taking the Fantasy Magic Stone, Rod immediately put it into the spatial belt. And of course, Marlene also knew that the fantasy magic stone was enough for many people to make them crazy, and even start a war for it, so of course she wouldn't talk nonsense. As for the others, they were busy resting and didn't pay attention to Rhodes' movements here, so there was no need to say anything. And the fantasy magic stone is very rare, many people only hear its name and disappear, like Rod If he didn't have the assistance of the system, he could see the name at the same time as the props, he probably would only see the fantasy magic stone as a rare magic gem.
After storing the Fantasy Stone, this matter came to an end for the time being, and at present, Rhodes has not thought of what to do with the Fantasy Stone. Although it is not impossible to make a set of equipment that is fully immune to magical physical skill attacks like YY in the game, the problem is that Rhodes always feels that this is too unsafe, and to make this kind of difficult equipment, I am afraid that even Labis can't do it, and it is good to use it in magic equipment, just like the Tour de France. However, at present, Rhodes does not have a strong magic technology in his handsβββ he can only take one step at a time.
However, this is not Rod's primary goal at the moment, and he is now only one step away from the location of the source of the fire. It's only once, but it's ...............
"I want you to be able to teleport to a coordinate point once."
Rod looked solemnly at the bell in front of him, but the bell was silent, and after thinking for a moment, he stretched out his right hand, raised two fingers, and then stretched out his left hand. Shake it on for a while.
"Of course, I understand that it would be safer if it was two teleportes, but we can't guarantee that the next teleport will not run into the same troubles as we do now, or even in this one." Although I had YY before, if I could have a few more Celesger projections, I would have sent them myself, but that was just Rhodes talking, and it was already a blessing from God that Marlene could touch something like the Fantasy Magic Stone once. And Celesg is a relatively easy character to deal with in the Demon Kilometer. Right now, it's the center of the Chaos Lands. Although the barrier of the Tinder Source isolates the Chaos Monsters, just as the filter will always filter out the largest impurities, those powerful Chaos Monsters will also wander around. Maybe there won't be a more existence like Silask's projection inside, and there may be a guy who is even more difficult to deal with than Sellasger. One accident in the plan is enough. If it comes out twice, even if Rod has a good temper, he can't bear it.
"Can you get it right the first time?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
This time, Suzu didn't answer right away, she lowered her head and looked at the ground at her feet. Then, after a few moments, the girl looked up and made a fist gesture to Rod. Then he spread his hands and drew a big circle. Then she nodded, then shook her head again.
"If you have enough energy, you can give it a try, but there is no guarantee that it will be successful?"
Rhodes never realized that he had the talent to read sign language. Strange to say, although Suzu's gestures were mostly casual, Rhodes could basically understand what she was trying to say, and hearing Rhodes' inquiry, Suzu nodded. But soon, she raised her hands again, drew a circle around her body, then made a hard pulling motion, then shook her hand, and then stopped and looked at Rod in front of her quietly. And this time, Rod was also silent.
Of course, he understood what Suzu meant, in fact, as the owner of the power of order, Suzu could theoretically achieve what he said about a success, no, it could even be said that theoretically, after they stepped into the Land of Chaos, Suzu could also teleport them directly to their destination through only one teleportation. It doesn't take so long to teleport a dozen times like it does now.
But, after all, that's theoretical.
It's as if theoretically, a motorcycle can have a speed that surpasses that of a high-speed train, but only if it is given an airplane engine. This is a pointless theory, Suzuda can succeed once, but then she will explode and die immediately. Because the girl's petite body is completely unable to withstand the power of order output at that moment. In fact, there have been such signs for a long time, at the beginning, Suzu would only get dizzy at most when she teleported, and after teleporting a few times, the power of chaos became stronger and stronger, in order to break through the obstacles of chaos, she had to use more power of order to strengthen the teleportation in order to continue to maintain her connection with the coordinates of the source of the fire. This is also because the more it came to the end, the worse Suzu's physical condition became, and even when she faced Celesque's projection this time, she was directly unconscious for a while before waking up again. Of course, there is naturally a resistance bonus of Celesg as a demon archduke's projection, but as it goes deeper, Suzu's body becomes more and more struggling is also obvious to all. And now she has clearly explained to Rod that if she does this, her body is likely to be hurt to a certain extent.
And Rod also knows very well that it is definitely not something that can be done by directly passing out and waking up from sleep. Although the old patriarch seemed to have sealed the channel of the power of order in Suzu's body from a very young age, and made her body constitution able to adapt to the flow of the power of order. But she's still too young after all, and even Suzu herself doesn't know how old she is because she lives in a shelter, but judging by her body shape and appearance. I'm afraid I'm only in my early teens. No matter how strong you are, you can't make up for your physical shortcomings, unless it's like Anne or Thor, and a half-breed like Lijie is the exception among the exceptions.
"Wait a minute."
Rhodes was silent for a moment, then he patted the bell on the head, then stood up and waved his hand at Lijie, who was standing not far away. And see Rod's movements. Lijie pursed her lips uncharacteristically and dissatisfiedly, and then walked over.
"Yes............ What's the matter? Mr. Rhodes? β
"Huh?"
Although Li Jie tried her best to show the same reaction as usual, her slightly stiff tone still caught Rod's attention, he is not the kind of eunuch male protagonist in harem comics who is stupid enough to play petty in front of him and know nothing like an idiot. Pretending to be stupid is not omnipotent, and the fire in the harem is the most troublesome thing.
"What's wrong, Lijie? I'm in a bad mood. β
"Nothing."
Hearing Rod's inquiry, Lijie pursed her lips. The calm that had been pretended to be was gone by this time, and she glared at Rod dissatisfiedly, and reached out to press her hand on her chest.
"I'm just not as big as someone's boobs anyway."
I see.
Hearing Lijie's answer, Rod shrugged his shoulders, he didn't need to think about it, I am afraid that the scene of his itchy hands before was seen by Lijie, but hearing Lijie's complaint, Rod chuckled inwardly. Since she is willing to complain, it actually means that Lijie is not angry now. And Rhodes was able to perceive it. Although Lijie's tone was dissatisfied, she was also a little more happy. A woman's heart is really a needle under the sea.........
"Small has small benefits."
Rod said, reaching out to gently hug Lijie into his arms, and at the same time, his right hand reached into Lijie's spirit master robe without a trace, and gently stroked it on the silky skin. This made Lijie's body soften, and she leaned on Rod's arms like this, while Rod's slender fingers were not hindered at all, and continued to caress deeply.
"Well, delicate and silky. Still just as sensitive. β
"Rowe, Mr. Rhodes!"
Holding the neckline with one hand, Li Jie looked at the people who were resting in the distance uneasily, for fear that this scene would be seen. Luckily, the Bow Knights sat in the distance chattering and chatting, while most of the others were asleep at the moment. No one noticed what was going on here, but Lijie was not as "shameless" as Anne, and she felt that Rod's hand was making dishonest movements, and she also stretched out her hands and pulled her clothes tightly.
"No, don't play anymore, Suzu is watching from the side."
Blushing and glancing at the girl who was staring at her and Rod with an expressionless face, Lijie whispered as if begging for mercy. Hearing her beg for mercy, Rod didn't say anything more, but gently pinched Lijie's chest, and then withdrew his hand. And Lijie also hurriedly arranged her robe, then glared at Rhodes dissatisfied, and then lowered her head with a red face.
"That's, that'......... What does Mr. Rhodes ask me to do? β
"If I remember correctly, Bubbles must have taught you a lot before."
"Yes, Mr. Rhodes."
Hearing this, Li Jie knew that Rod must not have come to her just for fun, so she also straightened her hair, and then nodded and answered. In the Land of Atonement, Li Jie also practiced with Bubble on weekdays, although the training of Bubble itself can be said to be inhumane, but when she reached the supreme authority level, she can give Li Jie more than just the use of spiritual skills. Players will gain access to a variety of rare spiritual spells in the later stages, and Little Bubblegum is no exception. And there are some spiritual skills that can't be learned in the church at all, and Little Bubblegum also taught them to Lijie, anyway, for Little Bubble Gum, her strength no longer needs to rely on that kind of low-level spiritual magic to make a living.
"So have you studied soul bodies?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Yes, Mr. Rhodes. β
Although he didn't know why Rod would ask himself this question, Lijie still nodded.
"However, the soul body is a very dangerous ..............."
"I know it."
Rod waved his hand, little bubblegum was his own spirit master, her skills and moves Rod knew as much about her as he did about herself. Of course, he knew what Dow Lijie was worried about, but Rod himself was not worried about it.
"Then I want you to prepare now. After a while, before the teleportation begins, the soul body is cast, and the recipient is Suzu, and the designated bearer is me. β
"Huh? Mr. Rhodes? β
Hearing this, Lijie's complexion changed slightly. As a spirit master, she certainly knew the dangers of the soul body. The spell itself is used to weaken the recipient's damage. In other words, a spirit master can use the soul to share the damage suffered by the other person. This move is also used among players, and soul body is a very rare skill, so most of the spirit master players who learn this move will be equipped with four meat shield-type classes, so that when they open the boss, their MT will take less damage. In the past, Rhodes would not have taken on such a task, but now ......... With his strong physicality, it's not a big deal.
"Is there something wrong with Suzu's body?"
"The next teleportation will have some impact on her body, so I'm going to share her damage on the sidelines."
"Yes. But then, Mr. Rhodes, you ..............."
"Don't worry, it's not like Annie's exclusive MT, but my ability to resist hits is still not weak."
"Then why don't you just let Anne do it!"
Li Jie glared at Anne who was sleeping next to her at this time, and it could be seen from her happy sleeping face that the girl in front of her must have met a rich Manchu and Han banquet in her dream, and she was opening her appetite to eat to her heart's content.
"Uh............ Don't............ Head......... Anne can't eat it..............."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Maybe you're eating a different protein-rich food?
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Mr. Rhodes, I still think it's better to let Anne do it. β
For a spirit master. Such a murderous tone is really rare.
"Alright, don't make a fuss. Go ahead and prepare. β
Glancing helplessly at Anne who turned over, Rod had to push Lijie away to prevent the fire that had been extinguished with great difficulty from turning into a prairie fire again, which would be a big trouble. But at this moment, Rod felt the corner of his clothes being pulled, and he turned his head away. I saw that Suzui stretched out his right hand, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and then shook his head firmly.
"No, Suzu, it's my responsibility."
But this time. Rod replied very firmly.
"You are my subordinate, if there is a way, of course I will not let you die alone, and besides, I am sure enough, you don't need to worry about this."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Suzu wordlessly let go of the hands that were pulling the corners of Rod's clothes, and then the girl raised her head, looked at the man in front of her quietly, and nodded vigorously.
The time has come.
Rhodes stood in the crowd, watching the storm howling outside the Chaos Barrier, and beside him, Suzu reached out her small hand and held Rod tightly. Lijie stood behind the two of them, and she stretched out her hands to reach forward, and she could see that a thread of soul connected Rod and Suzu.
"Let's get started, Suzu."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
There was no response, but soon, Rod felt a sudden movement in his soul, and then, a strong impact came from the inside towards his body. It was a pain that had never been felt before, as if a person had dissected his own body and let the internal organs of his body face the blow of a ten-level wind, and the strong impact came from the inside of the body, stirring up the blood vessels, bones, internal organs, muscles, and even the skin as if they were torn apart. This even made Rod frown, he knew very well that this kind of damage did not come from the outside world, but from the soul of the bell itself, which was completely condensed by the power of order. Although he had long known that this method might cause great damage to the soul, the difficulty of breaking through the chaos obstacle in front of him was still beyond Rhode's expectations.
His body floated in the void, and he had to endure this pain from the inside out, and the only thing Rhodes could feel was the soft little hand that held his palm. I don't know how long it took to pass, but suddenly, the chaotic and dark colors in front of me were swept away, and dazzling, bright and brilliant brilliance and solid earth appeared in front of everyone's eyes again.
It's finally over.
After confirming that the teleportation was complete, Rod let out a long sigh, and then he looked up at the sky.
In front of him was a beautiful, clear blue sky. Snow-white clouds drifted above, and beneath your feet was a verdant grassland. However, it is not the beautiful scenery that attracts the most attention, but the huge tower that has been reduced to ruins in front of everyone. Although it is dilapidated, the round tower that is still sturdy stands in front of everyone's eyes. Looking up, one could see that above it, a faint, barely visible light of fire had replaced the sun's brilliance and illuminated the land.
That's where the spark comes from.
"Hoo ..............."
Seeing this scene in front of him, Rod finally relaxed a lot, he lowered his head and looked at the bell beside him. Sensing Rod's gaze, Suzu also raised her head and looked at Rhodes quietly. Since Rod shared half of the pain of her impact, this time Suzu finally didn't pass out like before. Although she has experienced a lot of pain when she looks at her pale complexion, it is much better than before. Thinking of this, Rod let go of his hand and stroked Suzu's hair. But what he didn't expect was that Suzu smiled at him, then quickly retracted his expression, turned around, and returned to Christie's side.
"Mr. Rhodes, this is ..............."
Looking at the dilapidated but still majestic cylindrical tower leading to the sky, even Lijie couldn't help but lower her voice.
"That's right, Lizzie."
Hearing Lijie's inquiry, Rod nodded.
"This is our destination, the source of the fire." (To be continued......)
