After defeating the Mirror of Fate, it means that everyone has broken through the worst barrier, and the next thing they have to face is to step into this ultimate core and ignite the fire. Logically speaking, this should have been the most exciting, exciting, tense moment, but .........

"Sister Lijie, what's wrong with the head of the regiment."

Looking at the front footsteps floating like a ghost, the whole person is like a listless Rhodes who hasn't slept for several days. Anne asked in a low voice. After leaving the Wheel of Fortune, everyone walked into a staircase that swirled towards the Lun, surrounded by infinite voids and stars, which looked very beautiful. But now everyone is more worried about Rod's situation, since the end of the previous battle and the loot, Rod has always looked like he is out of the world, looking at him like that, it really makes people worry about whether he will step on the air and fall directly down the stairs, and then ......... There is no then.

"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with that crystal........."

In the face of Anne's inquiry, Lijie could only shake her head helplessly, she and Marlene looked at each other suspiciously, but they couldn't figure out what was wrong at the moment. However, this is only for them, and for Rod himself, he is already a complete tragedy.

The loot [Projection Crystal] that Marlene touched out is not even a piece of equipment strictly speaking, nor is it a raw material like the [Fantasy Magic Stone], on the contrary, it belongs to a type of prop, and it is a [Building Prop], that is to say, in terms of nature itself, it is the same as the [Mystery Ball], it belongs to the kind of species that will only play a role after being embedded in the system.

But...............

While it did possess a very strong force, it was of little use to Rod.

While it did possess a very strong force, it was of little use to Rod.

Because it's very important. So say it twice.

Projection crystal is a kind of construction prop, its ability sounds very powerful, in fact, it is also very simple——— everything within the scope of the system setting holder is visualized and presented in front of the holder, to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to adding countless surveillance cameras in Rhodes' territory that can monitor any place in all directions and will not be discovered. As long as Rhodes wants, he can directly call up any picture at any time, anywhere. And you can zoom in and out freely like shooting a movie, and flip it up and down. As the name suggests, the projection crystal is reflected on the crystal through magic fluctuations, so as long as there is magic in the place, whether it is heaven or earth, it will be clearly presented in front of Rod.

But that's about it.

If you want to talk about holographic maps, Rhodes' own construction system also comes with its own, and what the current projection crystal does is just to visualize ordinary holographic maps, as if a simple satellite map picture has evolved to the same extent that it can be taken on the street anytime and anywhere. That's what it ends up in. If there is any strategic value, I am afraid that through the projection crystal, Rhodes can monitor anywhere within his territory, no matter what kind of secret talks and conspiracies, it will not have any meaning in front of him.

Although on the plus side, this crystal can also be used to spy on girls taking baths and underwear or something, but for Rod, he is basically willing to wash with himself if he is interested in it. Rolling the sheets together, so he didn't need to look at the voyeur image so sadly and curled up in the corner by himself to exercise his right hand. Besides. The projection crystal is a soul binding, which means that no one else can activate this thing except Rhodes. But as a lord, Rhodes couldn't have been in the house twenty-four hours a day watching these things!

Because of this, after getting this "sounds great, but actually doesn't use himself" thing, Rod can only be speechless. If this thing isn't soulbound. Then he can also find a few people who are specifically responsible for using this thing to monitor his territory, which can be regarded as a special security system. But if only you can use it, then it's really only when you're bored and peeks at girls taking a shower......... On the bright side, voyeurism also has the fun of voyeurism.

Now Rod's only option is to see if Sara can use this projection crystal, after all, she is a corpse slave. It is through the power of the soul that you inject into yourself that you can move. It stands to reason that now Serra's soul fluctuations are the same as his own, and if he can use it, Rhodes can let Sara take charge of this matter, and if he can succeed, of course, it will be great. As an undead, Sara has first-class secrecy skills, and she doesn't need to rest twenty-four hours a day, so it's a good choice if she is placed under the hands of Seven Lovers.

Of course, this is based on the fact that she is able to activate the [Projection Crystal].

If you can't start it............... It's not a bad idea to take a peek once in a while for a change of taste.........

Thinking of this, Rod sighed helplessly, sure enough, this kind of distorted black hand aura, even if there is Marlene's red hand aura, its effect is not much better. As a result, what's the point of giving yourself something that looks good but is actually about the same as waste?

"That......... Rod? ”

Just as Rod was lamenting helplessly, Marlene's voice came from behind him, which also made Rode's consciousness return from the sea of tragedy to the real world. It was only then that he realized that he had finished the spiral corridor that seemed to be endless, and that he was standing in front of a heavy stone door, which looked almost identical to the metal gate that had been opened before, with all sorts of strange gears and bearings, and a gap in the middle of the gate.

Has it arrived?

It was only at this time that Rod completely took his thoughts back from his previous tragic equipment, and even Lijie and Annie, who were relaxed just now, couldn't help but become a lot more silent at this time. Although they had only just faced the mirror image of their fate before, there was a more important issue to deal with in front of them——— and that was Marlene.

After being reprimanded by Rod, Marlene has confessed everything to them, and even the most arrogant Anne knows what Marlene will face next. But even Anne can't say to give up, she's just acting simply, and she's not a fool, everyone has worked so hard to get here. Risking their lives, some people even died for it. Let's say it now, because Marlene is going to be sacrificed, so everyone stops? How is this possible?

But......... To sacrifice their friends so coldly, this is not something that two people can do. Although Rhodes once said that even when it came time to sacrifice Marlene, he was sure to save Marlene, but after all, he thought of seeing his friend die in front of him. No one will remain indifferent.

"Mr. Rhodes, what's going on above?"

Li Jie frowned and couldn't help asking. Hearing her inquiry, Rhodes frowned, and after a moment of silence, responded.

"I've just spoken to Rasti, and the Chaos Folk have attacked ninety-eight times in a row, and although Christie has bought them three more days, it looks like they're at their limit so far."

"Huh? Three days?? How do I feel that we have less than two days now? ”

Hearing Rod's answer, Lijie couldn't help but cry out in surprise. It's no wonder that, after entering here, although there is an orderly flow of time, in fact, there is no real sense of time at all. At most, it's just the act of being hungry to feel when it's time to eat. But the problem is that most of them are not normal people here——— although Anne, a half-beast, is greedy, but her bloodline makes it not a problem for her to go without food for two or three days during the battle. Lijie is a half-angel, similar to an elf, and has a small appetite. Just eating a few fruits is enough to restore energy. Not to mention Rhodes himself, although it is not yet known what his lineage is. But at least not human. As for Marlene, although she "was" still a normal human, she didn't seem to be so human after being manipulated by another person in that strange space, at least she hadn't even drunk saliva along the way, and she didn't have the slightest hint of fatigue, except for the pale face caused by excessive blood loss caused by being pierced through the shoulder just now. There is hardly anything out of the ordinary.

It's too difficult to expect these perverts to rely on their own bodies to experience the true flow of time.

"Maybe there's a difference in the flow of time between here and above."

Hearing Lijie's inquiry, Rod couldn't help frowning, players in the game didn't care about these before, but after contacting Hasty just now, Rod was surprised to find that ten days have passed since the time on it. Chaos' attack was already pressing to the extreme, and the other Christie had already used the True Knowledge Scroll three times in a row to buy them time, but judging from the news she had just received from Rasti, it had also reached its limit. According to another Christie, the amount of energy she can use has reached a critical point, and if she uses the True Knowledge, Christie's body will completely collapse, so she will not participate in the battle again. But that's enough for Rod, and if it weren't for the help of another Christie, I'm afraid the top would have been wiped out.

But even so, the next stage is also the last stage, the guardians above have suffered heavy losses, and the mercenaries he brought have also lost nearly one-third, but the most troublesome thing for Rod is that Rasti has let the Valhallic Legion go to protect those mercenaries, so the archers he has the most high hopes for have also lost more than half, so Rod knows that he has no time to fish anymore.

Thinking of this, Rod found that the eyes of the other three people were quietly watching him, each with different eyes, but they all had the same meaning——— and then, it was time for him to make a decision.

"Forget it, everything is the choice of the stone door, it depends on the will of God."

Muttering to himself, Rhodes looked up and nodded at Marlene.

"Marlene, open the door."

"Good, Rod."

Hearing Rod's order, even Marlene, who was the calmest, couldn't help but look a little nervous at this time, she turned around, and then raised her right hand, and soon, the staff assembled from metal before appeared in Marlene's hand, and then inserted into the stone door in front of her with Marlene's movements. Soon, the gears and bearings, carved entirely out of stone, began to turn, and the door slowly opened.

There was no sound.

This heavy stone door, which was obviously more than five meters high, opened completely quietly, without the slightest sound, and inside it, there was a scene that everyone had never imagined at all.

"Wow ..............."

Look at the scenery in front of you. Anne couldn't help but exclaim, and even Lijie covered her mouth at this moment, revealing an expression of surprise.

In front of them was an endless starry sky. The entire world seems to have lost the distinction between up, down, left and right, no matter which direction you look from, it is all void and shining formation. The stars converged to form a river of light, slowly spinning. In the middle of this space is a sun-shaped sphere, which shimmers with white light, but it is not bright, and even a little dim.

"Is that the tinder...............

Marlene stared blankly at the ball in front of her and muttered to herself. Although as the heir of the Shania family and the destined sacrifice, she had long heard of Tinder, which was impossible to ignore in the Land of Order. But only when you see it with your own eyes can you feel that unprecedented sense of existence. At this moment, Marlene even felt as if every grass and tree in this world, every life, every river, and even every stone existed for it. She felt like she couldn't even take her eyes off the round fireball, like a moth to a flame, rushing towards the other party. And then completely melt in it......... It wasn't until she noticed Rod's palm pressing against her shoulder that Marlene stopped. Only then did she realize that she had unknowingly entered this sacred hall.

"Let me do it first."

Rod winked at Lizzie and Anne, then he looked up and quietly stared at the fire in front of him. So far, everything is as I remember, no mistakes. Just follow the right steps. Then it should be possible to light the fire. However, if his guess was correct, then it was impossible for him to light the fire. But human beings are always reluctant to give up that one percent possibility, aren't they?

While thinking about it, Rhodes came to the tinder, and then. He stretched out his hand and placed it on the little burning sun.

Soon, a line of system prompts appeared in front of him.

[Tinder activation function is activated, trigger detected]

【Start Verification Process】

【Bloodline Matching Program Activated】

【Tinder Source ————】

"Toot ..............."

At this moment, a piercing alarm sounded in Rod's ears, which made his heart sink involuntarily. Sure enough, the next moment, a system prompt appeared in Rod's eyes that he definitely didn't want to see.

[Sealing system detected, system not touched]

[Unable to forcibly lift the seal, the fire source failed to start]

"Cut!"

Seeing this line of system prompts, Rod gritted his teeth and took a bite, sure enough, as he expected, the damn seal is the point, the seal that was automatically eliminated in the game because of the demise of the Shania family, and now he is showing off his presence in front of himself in this form. If he could, Rhodes would have liked to be able to slash it with a single sword. Unfortunately, Rhodes only summons swordsmen and is not familiar with sealing.

"Celia, Celestina, Gresil, Madaras, Syros, will you be able to handle this seal?"

With the last glimmer of hope, Rhodes asked for his summoning card through the soul connection, and at the same time showed them the body of the seal, but unfortunately, after a while, everyone said that they were not capable of breaking the seal.

"This seal belongs to the Demon God level, and it has also been strengthened by the pure blood and soul of humans, if it is forcibly broken, Sister Xiluo Si can still do it, but if you want to lift the seal, there is no way."

Eventually, Celestina, who is currently the most authoritative in magic, gave an answer. Hearing her answer, Rod raised his eyebrows.

"Forcible destruction?"

"That's right, if the seal is destroyed along with the seal, it can be done with Sister Xiluosi's ability."

“…………… Forget it. ”

Rod had no doubt that he could take out the Silos, which was projected by Celesque, with a single blow, and could also kill the sealed source of the fire with a single blow, but in this way, the meaning of his presence here was basically gone. Thinking of this, Rod gritted his teeth and sighed, then he turned around and stretched out his hand to the girl behind him.

"Marlene, it's your turn."

Hearing Rod's words, Anne and Lijie couldn't help but turn pale, and they looked at the girl beside them worriedly. Feeling the gaze of the two girls, Marlene smiled wryly and shook her head, and then she reached out and gently stroked Anne and Lijie's heads.

"Then, Lijie, Annie, I'll come as I go."

It's so easy.

For Marlene, she had never spoken to the two of them in such a tone, as if she was not going to die, but just to visit the front and see the scenery. On the contrary, Anne and Lijie couldn't say half a word at this time, they wanted to hold Marlene, but reason prevented them from doing so. In the end, the two could only nod silently, and watched Marlene just walk forward with a smile on her face and hold Rod's outstretched hand.

"Are you scared?"

Although Marlene had the same soft smile on her face as ever, Rhodes still felt the cold breath and a slight tremor the moment he held the other party's palm. Hearing Rod's inquiry, Marlene bit her lip, and when she turned her head and turned her back to Anne and Lijie, her expression finally seemed to show a trace of struggle, as if she was about to cry bitterly.

"Anyway, that's what I have to do, isn't it? Rod? ”

Saying this, Marlene raised her head, her two eyes looked at the man in front of her without reservation, at this moment, she tore away all her strength, the fear of facing death, the fear of fear, the worry of the failure of the plan, and the nervousness and uneasiness of self-sacrifice were fully expressed.

"That's right, and I promise you, I'll be there for you."

Hearing Marlene's answer, Rhodes nodded, and then he took Marlene's hand, staring at the screen in front of him with both eyes, while the other hand hung down, put it in his pocket, and held the fantasy magic stone. Hearing Rod's answer, Marlene blinked, and her burgundy eyes returned to unprecedented calm, and she was silent for a moment, then she looked up, and a soft smile appeared——— which was brighter than the sun in front of her.

Then Marlene reached out and placed it on the tinder.

Soon, in front of Rod, a new system prompt appeared.

[If the seal is detected——— the bloodline seal will be lifted, and the progress will be 1%]

PS: There are so many people who think that the projection crystal is used to summon another Rhodes............ I was amazed............ (To be continued......)
