Chapter 201 Expectation(1/2)
Although I didn’t understand what they meant, the shocking feeling still came over me.
Tommen deeply felt the invisible momentum contained in them, swallowed back his sarcastic words, and couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean?"
Rhodes smiled and simply changed the story behind these two sentences into a background they could understand.
Unexpectedly, he actually harvested two "flowers of humanity" from this.
Is this okay?
"Flower of Humanity" is a very precious material that is generally difficult to obtain. Rhodes only has five of them saved so far.
Can I move people if I just talk casually?
But Tommen refused to admit it.
"Bah, stop lying to children with your made-up stories."
"I don't believe it at all."
"I'm just here to make money, you don't need to give me chicken blood."
Rhodes smiled and said nothing more.
Dmitry used more objective language to explain the significance of the Kuroshio and this operation in detail.
Under his narration, Rhodes gradually understood everything.
As Tommen said, the black tide in the dark world is like the huge waves on the dark sea, and what Trorian endures is just the aftermath on its edge.
The cause of the Kuroshio is unknown, and its study has always been one of the important topics of the Trorian Kingdom.
The existing main theories are divided into "monster power change theory", "spiritual world change theory", "migration theory" and "civil war theory".
But no matter which theory, they all admit that Trolian is protected by the unique terrain and will not face the black tide head-on.
But this time, the situation changed somewhat. Part of the front of the Kuroshio turned around and rushed towards Trorian, who was huddled in the corner of the Dead Ember Mountains.
The Survey Corps and the White Tower simultaneously issued the highest level warning to the Royal City.
Wangcheng immediately summoned the leader of the Investigation Corps, Lister, the Lord of the White Tower, Meredith, the Great Prophet Ietta and the Chief Dean Theodore to discuss countermeasures.
Through a series of actions such as investigation, prophecy, stargazing, and exploration of the spiritual world, they determined that detonating enough rot at a specific time and place can trigger a regional chain reaction and send some people rushing to specific locations.
Lorian's Kuroshio front changes direction.
The plan also depends on this.
Originally, the last person in the team was Theodore's Conjuration Guard, but for some reason it was replaced by Rhodes.
The plan has also been postponed, which is why time seems so tight.
"However." Dmitri said: "Our operation went much smoother than expected. The two nodes are on both sides of the Eternal Sealed Land. We still have four hours, which is enough to complete the task."<
/p>
Tommen snorted coldly: "Don't think too much, you will definitely encounter an accident when the time comes."
No one replied.
I don’t know why, but what he said is not particularly offensive.
Soon, the three of them passed through the Land of Eternal Sealing and reached the first node.
This is a huge depression with broken holes underneath.
Demetrius rang the Bell of Silence again to cover up the psychic fluctuations of Tommen's characteristics.
Tommen sat down cross-legged, pressed his hands on the ground, and strong spiritual energy fluctuations radiated from his body.
The air began to twist, and a moment later, with a huge explosion, a metal cylinder at least five stories high fell in front of Tommen.
The scene was shocking, Rhodes thought to himself, this Tommen really has two brushes.
He looked very tired at the moment, and it seemed that it was very difficult for him to move such a large object.
Dmitry wanted to carry him on his back, but was refused.
"I can leave."
Tommen stood up unsteadily, but fell to the ground again.
Dmitri picked him up.
The two ran outside.
"Don't we need to open it?" Rhodes asked.
"No need." Dmitri said calmly: "Metal cannot resist the influence of so many rotten substances, and monsters will soon tear it into pieces."
Tommen cursed: "Stop talking nonsense and run!"
The black mist began to roll, showing some kind of ominousness. There was a faint whistling sound in the distance, and an uneasy atmosphere floated in the air.
Dmitri grabbed Rhodes, jumped into the air, and flew towards the second node.
For some unknown reason, the black fog in this area became very light, and Rhodes' sight distance was greatly extended.
He looked back and saw that in the distance of infinite darkness, there was a line of deeper darkness rushing toward them, just like a tsunami about to rise from the depths of the sea.
Suddenly, Dmitri suddenly fell down.
Overhead, a huge black shadow passed by, and its speed was so fast that Rhodes did not foresee it at all.
Immediately afterwards, more black shadows passed by, all flying towards the first node.
Dmitri quickly landed on the edge of the Forever Land and chose to walk.
But the ground is not peaceful either, and the wandering monsters have become active and aggressive.
Dmitri's invisibility was dispelled by some unknown influence, and he had to release it repeatedly, finally attracting the attention of an acid monster.
This is a battle that can be called a disaster.
The sudden attack by the acid monster prevented Dmitri from using the Bell of Silence. They tried to escape directly, but the abnormal movement attracted more acid monsters and a strange bird that fell from the sky.
They are very fast, and no matter how hard Dmitry and Rhodes run, they cannot escape.
"We are separated."
Dmitri said briefly, threw Tommen and the astrolabe at Rhodes, turned around and ran in the other direction.
He continuously activated his fire ability, and his invisibility flashed on him, attracting a large number of monsters to follow him.
"Sure enough, something marked him."
Tommen murmured.
"When we flew over the Land of Eternal Sealing, we were cursed by something."
Rhodes looked at the direction in which he was going. The light of spiritual energy was flashing, proving that he was overtaken and the battle had begun.
The aftermath of the battle attracted more monsters, making their way forward empty.
"Dmitri..."
Rhodes asked hesitantly.
"Can you survive?"
Tommen sneered, "Of course he can survive. He is known as the Invincible of Ironforge City. Although he only has six kinds of fire, he has already become a fourth-level combatant. He has superb combat skills, quick thinking, changeable tactics, and the ability to protect himself."
He has survived extremely strong and even more dangerous situations. Do you think it is you, a young boy who has not yet been born?"
Rhodes felt something dripping onto his back, it was cool and wet.
"You...cryed?"
"Fuck your horse." Tommen scolded angrily: "I am a tough man, I will not cry even if I die. Besides, I already knew that the mission would fail and everyone would die, so why should I cry?"
Rhodes was silent for a moment and replied: "We will not die."
"Stop dreaming. We are dead. The mission cannot be successful... This way, the direction is a little off."
Tommen held the astrolabe to guide the direction.
Rhodes ran with all his strength.
But the good times didn't last long, and soon they met another group of spike demons.
This is an abyss monster, proving that there is an abyss rift nearby, but this is not their mission, and such a distant rift will have no impact on the royal city.
Rhodes tried to get rid of them, but the spike demon was not only much faster than him, but also flashed in short distances.
Rhodes could only stop and fight them.
But once they fought, they realized how troublesome these spike demons were, which were slaughtered by Mephis like pigs. The large number of wooden puppets he summoned were easily torn into pieces, and his thunder stones and spiritual spears could not hit them at all.
What's worse is that the sequelae of [awakening] seem to be reaching their limit. There is a huge tearing feeling in the soul, and dizziness comes one after another.
Isn’t it? The mission is really going to fail?
Rhodes was very regretful. He actually had many trump cards, but he didn't have time to use them.
No, it's impossible.
