Chapter 156: Soul Summoning Array

In the Dragon Soul Continent, there has always been such a rumor deeply rooted in the hearts of the people——— the devils lurking in the depths of darkness are ready to move, and they are trying to come to the surface again and again to completely destroy everything here. Turning the beautiful surface world into a red, dark, and terrifying world world like their home ninth-order abyss. They lurk in darkness, death, and shadows, tempting foolish mortals with their sweet words all the time. Trying to use their hands to come to this world, to sow destruction and despair.

Just as there is light and there is darkness, and where there is justice there is evil, some people aspire to become police officers to maintain peace in the world, and some people are idle and bored and want to be terrorists. There are those who are willing to sacrifice everything for the happiness of others, and there are those who go to great lengths just to see the earth burn.

The Soul Summoning Circle is a product of the latter concept, and their original purpose was to tear apart the space between the ninth-order hell and the surface by consuming soul power, creating a passage that is enough for the devil to enter and exit, and then the other party can come to this world, and then call for wind and rain, omnipotent......... Well, that's just delusional. After all, compared to the devil who has no helper and can only remotely control and manipulate from a distance, the power of the light side is extremely strong here, and the sky under the soul of the dragon of light is full of angels flying around, and the undead nobles under the soul of the dark dragon are enough for them to drink a few pots, to use a not-so-appropriate analogy, a devil comes to this world through a ritual circle, as if a novice player has just finished building a character, but before he has time to show his ambitions and stretch his fists, the boss falls from the sky, Completely erase him mercilessly. I believe that players who encounter this situation will only use the keyboard to express their anger——— which is not playable at all!

And the devils have been in much the same situation, and after many unsuccessful attempts, they have readily given up on this practice, but the demons have discovered a plan to achieve their goals without their own hands, and the foolish mortals who live on the surface seem to be more enthusiastic about destroying and disrupting the world than they are. Although they are far from qualified in terms of skills, but in terms of enthusiasm and dedication, the seriousness of human beings makes the great devil in the Nine Abyss sigh to themselves. The devils soon changed their minds and began to tempt the depravity of mortals, allowing them to become pawns in the place of themselves to roil the continent, while they sat behind the scenes, leisurely watching the spread of chaos and death.

It is precisely because of the change in the attitude of the devils that the soul summoning circle that was originally used to tear apart the gaps in the space and achieve the hell passage has also been repurposed. Through this circle, the devil's followers can give their pure souls to the devils they serve, and thus receive the rewards of their masters for greater power. And for the devils, they don't need to risk their lives to easily obtain sweet souls, which is also something to celebrate.

And the same is true of the Soul Summoning Circle that is appearing here right now.

"In other words, there are believers in the devil here?"

Rhodes stared at the circle in distraction, the blood mark on it was not too old, indicating that someone here must have used it before.

"That's how it should be."

Celia turned her head to look at the forest-enclosed village not far away, her sword clenched in both hands, her face serious.

"This mission is not easy, master, I suspect that someone here is doing ghosts."

"I hope they don't play high, and they play themselves."

Rod replied coldly, then turned to Celia.

"How's the situation in the village?"

"Most of the place is normal, nothing out of the ordinary, except for a slight trace of dark power left in the cellar, but it is supposed to be the girl's residence, and I haven't found anything wrong other than that." ..., "Check again." ”

Rod was silent for a moment, then gave the order.

"Go and see the cemetery and the woods north of the village, since there are devil believers here, then they can't leave nothing, I will be responsible for checking the village again to see the situation."

"Understood, master."

Hearing Rod's order, Celia nodded quickly, and then she quickly spread her wings and flew into the sky. And after the angel girl left, Rod withdrew his gaze and beckoned to Lando and the others who were standing on the side.

"Come with me, we have important things to do."

The originally lively village was unusually quiet at the moment, and due to Rod's tough attitude at the beginning, the villagers had clearly classified them as persona non grata, but even so, they could not bargain for the slightest bargain under the other party's hands, after all, no matter what, the nobles who had angels and mages on their side would not be easy to mess with. So they can only barely suppress their dissatisfaction and bow their heads in submission. In order to avoid getting angry, they all chose to hide at home, lock the door, look out secretly with dissatisfied, angry and fearful expressions, and strictly prohibit their children from going out to play.

And Rhodes had no pressure to be treated unkindly, and he didn't even care about the villagers at all, especially after what happened to Christi......... Although she was not his sister, it was also very upset to see a girl who looked exactly like his sister being treated cruelly by these villagers, and he thought that he had not burned a torch here was very polite, and the villagers were not qualified to ask for more.

A group of NPCs really treat themselves as human beings.

"It's so cool."

Walking on the uninhabited street, Joey, who was following behind Rod, couldn't help but pinch his hands with excitement. Of course, he also saw the grievances of the villagers who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, but he did not have any regrets and uneasy thoughts because of this, after all, when they came here before, they had been blinded by people, and even those dead children dared to curse and insult them, and now it is the turn of return, and the group of high-minded and angry guys at the beginning also have today, which makes these mercenaries really feel very happy. They finally realized the pleasure of the private soldiers under the nobles on weekdays.

"Captain, you are so great, I never expected to see this group of guys here bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes, ha, ha, it is very comfortable to look at their embarrassed appearance now."

"Alright, Joey, stop talking so much nonsense."

Lando frowned, interrupting his companion's speech, he knew that his friend was always a little arrogant and used to doing whatever he wanted, but after all, this was in front of his own leader, and Rhodes had always created his serious and indifferent image, which made Lando a little worried, he knew very well that Rhodes was a very serious person and would not allow anyone to challenge his authority. Although he seems to be easy to get along with in normal times, once you provoke him, then there is no priority for the other party.

But he didn't expect that Rod actually answered Joey's words casually.

"Strength and status are the prerequisites for dignity, if you mercenary group can take out a few idiots here with their own hands, and then be able to keep people from coming to you to trouble, I can guarantee that the next time they see you, they will worship you like their ancestors. Of course, there are idiots who don't have long eyes, although their existence value is not as good as a bee, but it is still a good stepping stone to consolidate their position again and again, provided that they are not turned over by the other party, then everything is over. ”

"The head of the regiment deserves to be the head of the regiment, and he speaks so incisively." ..., Hearing Rod's response, the thieves immediately hit the snake with a smile, as mercenaries, of course, they know very well how important it is to hold a good thigh. It's just that Rhodes rarely appears around them in normal times, which makes these mercenaries feel unapproachable, and now that they have such a good opportunity, they naturally can't let it go.

"The power gains power, and the power controls the power of power, which is the same in any world."

Rod muttered to himself, then he stopped and looked at a nearby cabin. It is located on the edge of the village square and looks no different from other places. But Rod always felt a faint and boring feeling coming from here, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"What is this place?"

"This looks like a warehouse......

Lando raised his head, carefully looked at the wooden house in front of him, and muttered to himself. Rod, on the other hand, frowned, walked to the door, reached out, and knocked lightly.

No one responded.

"Looks like no one, my lord, do you want me to .........?"

Before Joey could show off his thief's skills, Rhodes slammed his fist on the door, and then the fragile door panel shattered, and the sound echoed throughout the square, but no one dared to come out and inspect it.

Rod did not have the slightest scruples, and after slamming open the wooden door with a punch, he leisurely walked into the wooden house, as if he were returning to his vacation room. Instead, the thief looked nervously from side to side, and after a moment he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I really don't see that our regimental leader is still so violent...... But it's cool, I've never tried to break in! ”

"Shut up for me!"

Lando pressed his forehead and sighed helplessly, he glared at Joey fiercely, and then followed Rod inside.

The large room was littered with large wooden barrels, which were arranged in a neat row, and the smell of vegetables and fruit wine could be faintly smelled inside. Sunlight streamed in through the somewhat filthy windows, illuminating the warehouse——— and the dust was visible in the sunlight, slowly floating in the air and spreading out in all directions.

Nothing.

Rod walked around the room slowly, but found nothing. But the annoyance in his heart did not disappear because of this, on the contrary, it became more and more intense.

It wasn't until the sound of hurried footsteps came that Rode's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked up to see the old village chief rushing into the wooden house with a bitter face.

"Lord Rhodes, what are you doing here, if you want to come in, just tell me ......"

The old village chief complained in a low voice while wiping the beads of sweat from his head. However, Rod obviously did not intend to take his complaint seriously, he did not hesitate to abandon the virtue of "respecting the elderly", and stretched out his hand to point to the staircase leading to the underground next to him.

"That's the cellar?"

"Yes, my lord, that little ...... Christy lives here. ”

Hearing the old village chief's answer, Rod nodded, and then he walked down the stairs.

The icy chill came over my face.

With the help of dim light, Rod could easily see the cellar in front of him. The walls were made of stone, and the thick barrels were placed on the sides, and in a dark corner of the cellar, Rhodes saw a small dirty wooden bed, the sheets on which were a little white, and the shabby clothes neatly stacked beside it. But as you can see from the water marks on it, it is impossible for these clothes to dry at all.

Other than these things, there is no longer any smell of human habitation in the cellar.

"Big, my lord, you better come up quickly, it's damp and cold down there, it's not good for your health......"

"Lando."

Rhodes ignored the old chief's words, but hooked his hand back, and soon, the ranger stepped forward and looked at his head curiously.

"Go tell the others to assemble in the square tonight, we're ready to get started. So ask them to replenish their energy early......... Also, let Christie come along. ”
