CH 87

After returning from the military battle department of the royal city, Rode was filled with energy. The heavy burden on his heart had been lifted, and he was only one step away from complete liberation.

Faster! Put in more effort and head towards the world of freedom as soon as possible!

Rode quickly returned to his room in the tavern, locked the door, hung up the warning sign, and made a lightning gesture. In an instant, he returned to the dream realm.

A faint mist flowed before his eyes, and the silent dream realm remained unchanged throughout eternity.

Twenty Sun Stones were placed at his feet.

Great!

With these, I can make twenty portions of Soul Ash, while there is only one invading monster.

Twenty against one, a huge advantage.

I'm sure to win!

Rode moved the Sun Stones into the cabin, lit the candles on the stone platform, and the words on the stone tablet lit up.

He placed one Sun Stone on it.

The "Sun Stone" in the "Soul Ash" section on the stone tablet lit up.

Rode smiled.

Yes, it's a real Sun Stone.

But the next moment, that line of text trembled, and the font twisted and stretched, turning into "Contaminated Sun Stone".

At the same time, "Soul Ash" became "Chaotic Soul Ash".

There was an additional line of description below it:

"Soul Ash made from contaminated Sun Stone summons uncontrollable spirits that go mad and attack all nearby entities."

What is this?

Rode frowned. He vaguely remembered that the Sun Stone seemed to be an important material for making the highest-grade fuel.

And the highest-grade fuel is usually added to the Holy Fire.

So, does this mean that the Cult of the Polluters is trying to use this method to contaminate the Holy Fire?

This method is quite sinister. I wonder if they can detect it.

Rode felt a bit worried. He didn't care about making "Soul Ash" anymore and quickly returned to the material realm. He wrote down his complete speculation, concealing how he discovered it, and only saying it was a random thought. He hoped they could check the materials used to make fuel, especially the Sun Stone.

He took out the spirit crow messenger that Lauren had given him and put the letter in its back pocket. With a light lift of his hand, the crow, shining with spiritual light, flew towards the Internal Affairs Adjudication Office.

After waiting for a while, the spirit crow messenger flew back. Rode took out the letter from its back pocket and saw the words written on it:

"Don't worry, we have conducted a detailed investigation of all fuel, fuel materials, and producers. It is impossible for contaminants to be sent into the Holy Fire."

After reading it, Rode felt relieved and returned to the dream realm, intending to directly make the "Chaotic Soul Ash".

Although the spirits summoned by it would attack indiscriminately, Rode was not a melee fighter. He could stay far away, throw the ashes, and shoot from behind. When there was an opening, he could use "Soul Crit" to attack.

As long as he paid attention, nothing would happen.

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

But which monster's soul should he use?

Rode looked at the countless floating Soul Fires on the Soul Altar. These were his harvest during this period.

Theoretically, it would be best to use the strongest one for each stone.

The strongest monster soul he possessed was the Plague Demon's soul.

Unfortunately, the Plague Demon's soul had already been used to make "Soul Firewood". Otherwise, if he could summon this monster, what else would he have to worry about?

Next was the soul of the Evil Black Crow, but its soul had also been used to make "Soul Firewood".

After that was the Distorted Spider.

Rode had killed quite a few of them and obtained five complete souls. In gratitude, Nightwing had also given him the collected ashes.

Well, let's use these five.

The combat power of the Distorted Spider was actually quite strong. It was not easy for an eighth-level combatant like Nightwing to deal with it. It was just that Rode had restrained it too much, which allowed him to kill quite a few of them like slaughtering pigs.

Thinking of this, Rode no longer hesitated and quickly brought the five "Distorted Spider Souls" and five portions of Distorted Spider Ash into the cabin. He also extracted fifty portions of humanity from the human faces on the obelisk.

In an instant, the humanity was almost depleted, leaving less than 100 points.

Rode felt a bit frustrated.

Unexpectedly, there was not enough humanity. Even after just obtaining a wave of it, he couldn't even gather fifty portions.

Hmm... this is because I haven't been in the academy during this period. I've been killing monsters in the sewers every day, so the growth of humanity has slowed down. Moreover, "Cold Blue" consumes 30 points every day.

I need to find a way to get more humanity.

While pondering, Rode placed all the materials on the stone platform. The "Chaotic Soul Ash" lit up completely.

With a light touch, the stone platform started working on its own. Mixing, grinding, solidifying, compressing, distilling... various tools flew back and forth, and each step was meticulous.

Soon, five clusters of gray lumps emitting a faint light appeared before his eyes.

"Chaotic Distorted Spider Soul Ash"

Disposable item, summons a chaotic Distorted Spider spirit that attacks indiscriminately until it is destroyed or its spiritual energy is depleted.

The gray lumps were only the size of a thumb, very convenient to carry. The way to use them was to fill them with spiritual energy and throw them.

Very good.

Rode stored the five ashes and returned to the material realm.

As he walked out of the room, he saw the innkeeper wiping the tables downstairs, and the tavern was almost full of customers. A gleam flashed in his eyes, and he quickly walked downstairs.

Upper City District.

Mibold Family.

Mibold Prosmor is the current head of the family.

However, he doesn't receive treatment like a high-ranking figure.

Bang!

The bedroom door closed right in front of his nose.

"Mibold! If you don't handle this matter properly, don't even think about coming back in the future!"

The golden-haired Mibold said with a bitter face, "Lily, isn't this for the sake of our daughter?"

A sharp voice came from behind the door, "Is this what you call thinking? What were you doing scaring that boy?"

"But Kassan is only seventeen. How can she have a child?"

Bang! The door forcefully opened.

An exceptionally beautiful woman stood in front of the door. She had golden hair, sky-blue eyes, and a graceful figure. However, the anger on her face was intimidating.

"Wasn't Kassan born when I was seventeen? Why didn't you say anything back then?"

Mibold was dumbfounded, and he stammered, "But, Kassan didn't want it. Lauren said she rejected Rode's confession with her fists."

"Isn't this what you taught her? Fighting all the time, killing all the time. You know that Kassan is not easy to get along with, yet you still went to intimidate that boy. Let me tell you, if you scare him away, I will tear you apart!"

Mibold's face wrinkled up.

"What can I do? I've already said it. I can't take it back, and I can't force Kassan to... hold his hand."

"I don't care. I've already seen Rode's spiritual energy image, and I'm satisfied. Before the end of the semester, I want to see Kassan bring him home. Otherwise, get out of the house!"

Bang!

The door closed again in front of Mibold's nose.

Contemplation Room.

Under the huge balance chart, Lucien sat on the tall iron chair, quietly listening to the crow's report.

After a long time, Lucien opened his eyes and asked calmly, "So, Manolobana has started again?"

The crow lowered its head and answered, "Yes."

"Can we find evidence of his collusion with Snow?"

"No, there is no evidence to prove this."

Lucien fell silent for a long time and muttered to himself in a low voice, "Why is that? Is he doing it on purpose, or is he trying to cover something up?"
