What's the situation?

Hearing Shanna's report, everyone, including Rod, was stunned, to be honest, for the poor girl, although everyone was more sympathetic, but it was sympathy, just like seeing someone suffering on TV, at most they would say "Ah, that person is so pitiful, it's not easy to live........." and then what to do, and if you have a little spare money, you can donate some money to talk about it, and this matter is over. The two sides met each other in the water, and there was not much communication. And Rhodes handed over the matter to Shanna after the girl's health recovered, and asked her to send the young lady home, and then turned around and threw the matter to the back of his mind, as the leader of the guild and the territory, he had a lot of things to deal with, and poor NPCs like this were naturally not in Rhodes' heart.

Originally, Rhodes thought that this matter would be over, but he didn't expect it to become like this, what did those guys think? Think you're opening an online store and can't return it?

"What's going on?"

Slightly stunned, Rod quickly came back to his senses and began to ask, he felt that this thing was too strange, if you want to say that the other party disappeared halfway or was killed, this may still be a precursor to a conspiracy theory, but according to Shanna, they obviously sent this eldest lady to her, and then picked her up, what kind of trouble is this?

"That's ..............."

For Rod's question, Shanna has obviously also learned in advance, so soon, Rod and others knew the ins and outs of the whole thing——— in fact, judging from this incident alone, it is simply an otherworldly version of the eight-o'clock bitter drama. According to Shana, they did manage to send the girl back to her home in the Kohl Plateau. At that time, her family was also very grateful to these people who sent their daughters back, not only entertained them with a feast, but also asked them to convey their gratitude to Rhodes on their behalf, and everyone enjoyed themselves. It's also considered harmonious. Later, Shanna and the others planned to stay in the Cole Plateau for two days, to have a relationship with the Cole Eagle Guild, and then they could prepare to go home.

Originally, things were so simple, but just when Shana and the others were about to go home, they didn't expect the eldest lady to come to the door crying.

In fact, Ann was kicked out of the door for no reason. After the eldest lady was taken home, a lot of rumors about her spread everywhere, because Ann was captured by the infidels, so there are a lot of rumors in the streets and alleys, heretics are evil to the bones in the hearts of ordinary people, what they do must not be a good thing, not to mention that this eldest lady has been captured by the infidels for so many days, so most of them are not very clean, maybe they have been wheeled dozens or hundreds of times or something...............

And. Ann's family is a wealthy family on the Kohl Plateau, and this division of interests within the family is naturally bayonet-wise, as the eldest daughter, she could have received a large amount of property. However, since she was taken away by the infidels before, this money has been favored by many people, and everyone originally thought that she was dead, but who knew that she was now back safe and sound......... This certainly makes many people very unhappy.

So, under their prodding. The family found a spirit master and conducted a series of tests on Ann. The final result is very bad——— in the soul of this eldest lady, there is a dark power hidden.

This immediately made those people in the family who wanted to drive Ann away seize the handle, and they attacked one after another, and even suspected that those heretics had used evil magic to steal Ann's soul, and now it was not herself who was in Ann's body, but a devil. And this devil wants to use Ann's shell. Destroy their family completely! As soon as these words came out, the people in the family were immediately panicked, and the relatives who had a good relationship with An were now far away from her, and not only that, but some people were even worried that this matter would be known by the church knights. Then their family is likely to suffer a catastrophe!

Under such fear, many people in the Clark family immediately gathered and wanted to burn Ann to death. Under the threat of death, the girl had no choice but to turn to Shanna and the others who were still stranded there. Originally, in the face of Ann's request for help, Shanna and the others were very hesitant. Because these things have been spread far and wide, they are more or less aware of them. For ordinary people, no matter what the facts are, as long as they are associated with darkness, evil, devils, heretics, etc., it is certainly not a good thing. So at first, Shanna didn't plan to wade into this troubled water, but those guys really went too far, and they actually rushed to Shanna and the others' station to ask for someone, and even planned to rob it. In this situation, Shanna had to make a decision. In any case, this young lady was also rescued by the lord himself, and it was impossible for them as subordinates to watch the people who were rescued by the lord being killed under their noses. Eventually, Shanna stepped in to stop the barbaric acts, but it wasn't a problem to drag on like this, so in the end, Shanna decided to bring Ann back first and see what the lord had to say. Anyway, leaving the girl there alone is only a dead end, although it is very likely that she will be killed when she comes back, but there is always some hope, isn't it?

So after the worst comeback, Shanna and the others brought Ann back.

"It's foolish and barbaric."

Hearing the cause and effect of the whole thing, Marlene couldn't help frowning and complained coldly. Hearing Marlene's words, Rod couldn't help but smile in his heart, thinking that this was really interesting.

On earth, because of the development of science, superstitions such as cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will be regarded by the public as symbols of ignorance, backwardness and barbarism. But in fact, in the Dragon Soul Continent, this kind of superstition is also despised by those who have insight. However, contrary to Earth, they are not looking at things from a scientific point of view, but from a magical point of view. However, whether it is science or magic, there are objective laws, but superstition is completely delusional and empty talk, and it does not have the slightest persuasive power at all.

Take the devil as an example, it is always rumored in the world that the devil's purpose is to rule this continent, and they will climb up from the ninth-order hell and turn the entire surface of the earth into a sea of fire. But anyone who has a little bit of plane knowledge will know that in fact, the main battlefield of the devil is still underground and the devil grabs turf, although they will also do some actions on the surface, but for the devil it is just like leisure and rest after a fierce battle, just like a person who is tired from work and runs out of the devil to play golf. You can't just treat him like a professional golfer. In fact, even in the later stages of the game, when the Dragon Soul Barrier collapses, most of the people who appear on the surface are demons rather than demons.

Then there is the power of darkness, in fact, the power of darkness itself is not evil, even in the academy mage faction. Black magic is also a formal and respected sect. However, the public does not know about this, they just rely on their own fears to mix necromancers, dark magicians, etc., in general——— whatever they are, all in all they are terrifying and dangerous!

It can be seen from this that barbarism and ignorance are not the problems of civilization itself, but of human .........

"Where is she now?"

Rhodes was not interested in being a philosopher, he just sighed and quickly got back to business.

"In the reception room. My lord. ”

"I know."

Hearing Shanna's report, Rhodes nodded, then stood up.

"Let's go check it out."

In the reception room, Rod soon saw Ann sitting in a chair.

For this eldest lady, Rod was not very impressed, he only vaguely remembered that this girl was very shy, quiet, and a little introverted. It also has a bit of vitality unique to young people. But now, Ann, who appeared in front of Rod, was haggard and pale. His eyes were red and swollen, his cheeks were thin, his eyes were bloodshot, and he trembled like a little squirrel huddled in a corner, waiting for the giant beast in front of him to open its bloody mouth and swallow it in one gulp. Seeing Rhodes come in, the girl hurriedly stood up. He bowed deeply.

"No, I'm sorry to disturb you, my lord, I ..............."

"Don't say anything yet."

Before Ann could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a wave of Rhodes. Hearing Rod's words, Ann's body shrank suddenly, as if she was about to be killed, and her pitiful appearance made Lijie and Marlene feel a little unbearable. However, Rod was still expressionless, he looked the girl in front of him up and down, and then made a gesture to Lijie next to him.

"Lijie, come and see."

"Good, Mr. Rhodes."

Of course, Lijie knew what Rod wanted to do, and she stepped forward and came to Ann, and then, Lijie stretched out her hands.

“………………”

Soon, with Lijie's movements, a white glow appeared on Ann's body, which was the brilliance of the soul, and at this moment Ann trembled even more, she closed her eyes and lowered her head, as if she was enduring some pain.

"Huh?"

At this time, Rod and Marlene's eyes widened in surprise.

I saw that with the deepening of Lijie, Ann's soul brilliance began to change, and in the center of her white soul radiance, a bit of darkness emerged from it, and it suddenly looked like a burning black flame, suspended in the center of the girl's body. Seeing this scene, Rhodes raised his eyebrows, it seems that this is the source of the so-called dark power hidden in the depths of his soul. But.........

"What do you think? Lijie? ”

"This ......... I can't say it well. ”

After ending the temptation of the soul, looking at the girl in front of her, Lijie also seemed to be a little embarrassed. She looked at Ann in front of her, and carefully organized her words, for fear of stimulating the girl in front of her, who seemed to be mentally exhausted and extremely weak.

"There is indeed a dark force hidden in her soul......... But......... I didn't feel the smell of evil, and ......... I don't think this power is the same as the devil's........."

It's different............

Hearing Lijie's report, Rod looked at the girl in front of him meaningfully, feeling his gaze, Ann's body was almost curled up. However, Rod didn't pay too much attention to Ann's performance, and soon, he raised his hand, and then the light flashed, and then, Celia's figure appeared beside Rod. And seeing the sudden appearance of the war angel, the girl trembled slightly, she didn't know how this war angel appeared, but right now, this war angel appeared in front of her, did she want to kill herself?

"Celia, you try."

“……… Yes, sir. ”

Hearing Rod's order, Celia hesitated for a rare moment, and then she stepped forward, and followed. The war angel stretched out his right hand and placed it on the girl's forehead. Feeling the touch of the angel of war, Ann closed her eyes tightly, waiting in fear for the impending death and destruction.

But Celia didn't mean to kill her, and the Battle Angel Maiden just closed her eyes, quickly. A soft white glow appeared on her palm, enveloping Ann in it, and after a moment, Celia's brow furrowed slightly, and then she withdrew her palm, and then, Celia turned her head, and there was an unspeakable helplessness on her always serious face.

"That......... Master. Can you take a step to speak? ”

"Of course there is no problem."

After instructing Lijie and Marlene to appease the unfortunate poor girl for the time being, Rhodes and Celia came to the next door, and the war angel at this time was unusual, her face was slightly red, and her eyes were a little uncertain.

And so it was.

Seeing Celia's unusual behavior, Rhodes knew that she must know something. The battle at the monastery was between her and the fallen angel, and now, the sacrificial girl who was supposed to sustain the fallen angel had a problem. So as a war angel, there is a good chance that Celia knows what to say. And because of that. Rhodes summoned her out to see what was going on, and now looking at Celia's appearance, Rhodes knew he had guessed correctly. However, he didn't ask immediately, but quietly looked at the war angel in front of him, and sure enough, after a while. Celia finally gave up her resistance, she lowered her head, sighed softly, and asked.

"Master, your ......... to our angels How much does reproduction know? ”

"I still know a little bit about it."

Although I don't know why Celia would suddenly ask herself this question. However, Rhodes quickly replied, because this is not a secret among players.

Angels are magical beings with both asexual and sexual reproduction abilities, because angels have a powerful vitality that cannot be matched by humans. So generally speaking, whether it is a single person or an angel who is in love with each other, it does not need to be mated to reproduce. After each angel grows to a certain stage, they will condense a life essence in their body, and the angel only needs to condense this life essence outside the body to create an egg-like object, and the new angel is born and grown from this "egg".

This is the "inheritance" of angels.

But in addition, angels can also give birth to their offspring by combining with other races, and then by mating and conceiving, but in this way, their offspring will only be half-angels, not pure angels. In fact, one of the most famous sisters in the Duchy of Moon is like this——— Lydia is the inheritance of the former Grand Duke through the condensation of the essence of life, pure angels. And Lijie is the crystallization of love between the former Grand Duke and her human lover, half angel.

The reason why Rhodes is so familiar with this is not because the Dragon Soul Continent still teaches angel biology or anything, on the contrary, this information is the research result of some very "gentleman" players after paying countless blood, tears and sweat, of course, they are not responsible for the game itself to mention the spirit to study the reproduction of angels............... Everybody gets the idea.

"As angels, we all have our own essence of life, and when the time is ripe, we will use our life force to condense the essence of life and let new life be born from it......... This is what we do for angels, and fallen angels ......... This practice has also been inherited. ”

"What do you mean ..............."

Hearing this, Rod raised his eyebrows.

"That young lady, pregnant with the child of the fallen angel who had possessed her before? If I'm not mistaken, that fallen angel seems to be a woman too..............."

"Oh, no, no, no!"

In the face of Rod's response, Celia waved her hand in disbelief with a slight panic, and a little blush appeared on her white face.

"That......... The essence of life is the source of life, and the source of life comes from the light. The fallen angels have given up their desire for the light and have completely fallen into darkness, of course they cannot have the essence of life, but ......... If you just condense your own strength, there is still no problem. That young lady used to be her possessed sacrifice, so it can be seen that that the soul fluctuation of that young lady is very compatible with her, and I am afraid that it is precisely because of this that she will choose to use this way to leave the last bit of her soul essence in this world...............

Celia's tone became a little complicated as she said "she", she looked up and looked out the window at the endless night sky, a flash of sadness in her eyes.

"So, what will happen to that young lady?"

Although Rhodes was also concerned about the emotional entanglement between Celia and the fallen angel, it was obvious that Celia didn't want to discuss it now, so he didn't ask any more questions and quickly got back to business.

"Since she has the soul essence of that fallen angel in her body, will she also become a fallen angel in the future?"

"It's impossible, master."

This time, Celia shook her head very resolutely.

"Her soul has been completely purified by the flames of light, and the remaining soul essence is only an empty shell of vain power, without a will of its own. Of course, if this continues, the young lady's soul will merge with this dark power, and gradually manifest itself. But it could not affect the young lady's own thoughts. Of course..............."

At this, Celia paused rarely.

“……… Because of the influence of the dark force, there are not a few human beings who succumb, fall, and bow down before it. But on the whole, the dark power that is currently lurking in this young lady's body is nothing more than pure soul power. ”

"I see."

Hearing this, Rhodes nodded, and at this time, he had already made a decision. (To be continued.) )
