CH 91

This was the first time Rode witnessed the process of igniting a star.

It also made him completely understand the entire process of obtaining a complete star.

As he saw, it was like a bonfire.

The special soul is its foundation.

The soul fuel is its core.

The fuel is the soul.

Before reaching a complete state, the auxiliary material to maintain the burning flame is human nature.

This is everything needed to fully bloom a star.

-

Rode exited the Soul Night and looked at the three souls on the monument, revealing a satisfied smile.

His spiritual sense felt this star, which was like a bright yellow ribbon. With a single thought, he could use its [Triple Soul Symphony].

[Triple Soul Symphony]: Gather a large amount of soul energy, use the latter soul energy to impact the former soul energy, obtain a more powerful and condensed soul energy, impact the star energy field, and release destructive energy cannon attacks.

Very powerful.

The first impression it gave Rode was that it was very powerful.

There was a destructive aura between the lines.

Moreover, it perfectly met Rode's needs, filling the gap of his lack of long-range attack methods.

If there is another invasion, it will definitely not be as difficult.

Rode's mood was uplifted. He added a touch of humanity to the yellow star and came to the back of the obelisk.

The green surface of the obelisk was empty, the invading words disappeared completely, and there were no new ones.

Is the invasion over?

A huge surprise exploded in his mind. Although Rode constantly reminded himself that this was only superficial and he couldn't be sure if it would appear again in the future, he couldn't suppress his excitement.

He had stayed in the shadow of the invasion for too long, although it was only a little over a month, it felt like one or two years had passed.

Even if it was temporary, it gave him a chance to catch his breath.

What surprised Rode even more was that when he left the obelisk, he suddenly found two things where the red soul died.

An old piece of paper.

A long-handled hook blade, his weapon.

He actually dropped his equipment, good things come in pairs!

Rode was in a great mood, his smile was about to bloom on his face.

He picked up the paper, put the weapon on his back, and walked to the edge of the stone platform with a happy stride.

He lit the candles on the stone platform, and the words on the stone tablet lit up.

Rode reviewed the materials for making soul fuel, then lowered his gaze.

He saw a few lines of text at the bottom.

Due to the current "River of Eternal Death" state, the special items that can be obtained are:

[Undead Spirit]: When crushed, the aura of the undead spirit permeates your body, you will not be killed by any means until the time ends, lasting for 30 seconds.

Requires Flower of Humanity, Living Dead Spirit.

Can only be made once.

-

Rode's eyes widened in an instant. Such a powerful item?

Thirty seconds of invincibility?

Then am I invincible?

Great!

This item must be made as soon as possible.

He already had the Flower of Humanity and needed to find a way to obtain the "Living Dead Spirit".

With a clear mind, Rode was about to leave when suddenly, the old paper in his arms flew out and turned into specks of light, entering the stone tablet.

Two new formulas appeared on the stone tablet:

[Wood Puppet]: Summon a wooden puppet to fight for you.

Requires Puppet Wood, Living Spirit x10.

[Resurrection Stone]: After death, your body and soul will be resurrected at a designated location.

Requires Resurrection Stone, Flower of Humanity, Living Spirit x10, Divine Power x1, Soulless Soul x10000, Living Flesh x1.

-

For the first time, Rode felt what it was like to dislocate his jaw.

Among the two new formulas, [Wood Puppet] was average, just adding a way to use "Living Spirit".

[Resurrection Stone] was an absolute miracle. To die and be resurrected is the domain of gods.

And this stone can actually do it.

If he held the [Resurrection Stone] and [Undead Spirit], then he would never have to worry about sudden death again. He could venture into any place!

Rode made up his mind in an instant.

He must make the [Resurrection Stone] and [Undead Spirit].

He also needed to find more of these old papers.

Under spiritual vision, it could be seen that they were marked with a seventeen-sided figure representing a cottage, making them easy to distinguish.

The items on the stone platform were so powerful. If he could find other formulas, there might be even more surprises.

Finally, Rode organized his materials and storage, and checked his own status.

Soul Strength: 240

Soul Star: 3

Humanity: 939

Divine Power: 45

Soulless Soul: 1973

On the Soul Altar, there were only 5 [Plague Rat Souls] left.

In the storage, there was still 1 portion of Spirit, 15 portions of Humanity, 1 Flower of Humanity, 39 portions of Living Humanity, 4 portions of Chaotic Traits, 2 Dark Guardians, and some materials.

At the foot of the wall outside the cottage, he still had his regular supplies. In addition to some canned food, purified water, and potions, there were 310 true silver bullets, 60 thunderstones, and 31 sealed spirit bullets.

Now he also had a long-handled hook blade.

Currently, he couldn't see any special features of this weapon, and Rode couldn't take it out of the dream, so he had to leave it here for now.

The dream had become his warehouse.

In addition, Rode had 5120 silver coins on him, which was his entire fortune.

Rode took one last look at the dream, shrouded in a thin mist, like a faded dream.

He left the dream and entered a real dream.

-

When Rode woke up, it was already the next day. His spirit felt better, but he still felt tired, and there was still a slight tearing pain. His soul also felt empty and weak.

This was obviously due to excessive use of soul energy yesterday, as well as the aftermath of using [Awakening].

Indeed, such a powerful ability couldn't be used casually. [Awakening] at least tripled his soul energy intensity, not to mention the constantly surging soul energy.

Wasn't there always a price for all the gifts bestowed by fate?

Everything had already been secretly marked with a price?

Rode shook his head with a smile, dispelling his random thoughts, and opened the door, walking downstairs easily.

There was no one in the tavern, quiet as the morning. This was the calmest time here, as the residents had gone to work at the factory and no one would come to the tavern.

The landlady, Sasa, was brewing mushroom wine by herself.

The various mushrooms produced in Mushroom City were one of the main foods in the royal city. Mushroom wine made from mushrooms had become their most commonly consumed alcohol.

She stuffed the cleaned green mushrooms into the wine barrel, sprinkled spices, sugar, and honey, poured the original wine into the barrel, covered it with a lid, sealed it with tree sap, and put it on the wine rack.

After about thirty days, they would be able to drink the mellow and delicious mushroom wine.

Sasa struggled to lift the wine barrel, finding it a bit difficult for her, but a pair of strong arms reached out from behind and effortlessly helped her put the barrel on the top shelf of the wine rack.

Sasa turned her head and sure enough, it was him.

Although he looked young, he unexpectedly had the demeanor of a mature man.

She smiled sweetly and said softly, "Thank you, Rode."

Rode laughed, "Miss Sasa, you look even younger and more beautiful than yesterday. Is time going backwards for you? Have you heard of the phrase 'exquisite and delicious'? I'm really hungry, please bring me a serving of mushroom stewed with clams. I love your cooking, your beautiful hands shouldn't be doing such heavy work. If they accidentally get damaged, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

He gently kissed the back of the landlady's fair hand and turned to sit in the front row of seats.

Although he knew that he was only complimenting her out of politeness, Sasa couldn't help but feel like she had eaten honey.

This talented fire wielder, who was young, elegant, powerful, and romantic, could be called the prince charming from the fairy tales in the great library.

But unfortunately, he would never belong to her.

Such an outstanding person would definitely marry a beautiful fire wielder, most likely his childhood sweetheart and classmate. They had average beauty, average excellence, and an average mission. They were the true blessed companions chosen by the fire.

However.

Sasa didn't feel jealous. She already had a perfect plan.

This outstanding student would definitely become a pillar of the royal city in the future, fighting for the protection of the holy fire and protecting everyone in Thalorian.

The royal family has always been tolerant of such people.

He would definitely buy a large house in the upper city, light a large spiritual lamp, and have exclusive servants and maids.

By then, she could use her cooking skills, which he loved, to become his cook and move to the upper city, where it was said that every day was Tuesday.

And when the lady of the house was not around, she could also comfort this great hero who fought for humanity, soothe his fatigue, comfort his soul, and reward his body.

She gently caressed her ample chest.

Hmm, although not as excellent as the lady of the house, I'm not bad either.

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Sasa almost burst into laughter. Suddenly, she was filled with confidence in the future.

With such an outstanding man, the child they would have together would definitely become a fire wielder.

Yes, come on, Sasa, you can do it!

-

For some reason, people's humanity kept floating out while Rode sat here.

And when he was eating, the landlady kept looking at him with a silly smile.

Rode didn't think too much about it. Right now, he only had one thing left to do, which was to go to Yusef's church medical center, declare that his memory had recovered, and provide all the information to Lauren and the others to quickly solve the case of the Redstone Village migration and catch the culprit.

Other things could be done slowly.

After breakfast, Rode left his room and bid farewell to the landlady.

Sasa seemed a little disappointed, but she wasn't too sad. She knew that her future man had left to grow.

"Grow up quickly, my little hero."

She said in her heart and waved to Rode.

Even though his figure was already far away.

The tavern was quiet again, with only her alone.

-

Rode went to the Iron Cross District Defense Office to bid farewell to Scarface.

When Scarface heard that he was leaving, his entire face turned black, and the large scar on his face seemed to be about to fall off.

He kept saying that there were still many monsters in his sewer and many high-threat level missions. He would definitely find them. If he couldn't find them, he would forcefully create a new one.

The two clerks in the sewer cleaning office even held his hand and cried loudly, refusing to let him leave.

Rode had no choice but to use the excuse of special training for special students that would soon take place, and promised to come back often when he had time.

Scarface immediately stuffed a communication crystal into Rode's arms.

This crystal could be used to contact the Iron Cross District Defense Office.

He also announced that Rode's name had been added to the list of defenders in the Defense Office, urging him to finish his studies and return.

Finally, before leaving, he said:

"The sewers of the Iron Cross District are always open for you."

This left Rode speechless.

After leaving the Defense Office, Rode boarded a horseless carriage.

As a wealthy man, he threw in twenty silver coins in one go, making the traffic control officer who had been remotely monitoring the carriage through soul energy transmission say a few words:

"Sir, the money you put in is non-refundable. Please use coins in moderation."

Sure enough, there was surveillance!

If he wanted to have a tryst in the carriage, he had to disable the surveillance first.

"I understand."

Rode replied and directly selected the Inner City District.

Yusef's church medical center was in the Peaceful District of the Inner City.

From the names of the districts, Rode could see the difference between the Inner and Outer City Districts. The Outer City Districts were all numbered, while the Inner City District had specific names.

The administrative division of the royal city was very simple, divided into the Upper City, Inner City, and Outer City, three major districts.

Below the districts were the major regions, and below the major regions were the blocks.

Each area had a hall responsible for its administrative work.

Strictly speaking, the Defense Office was also a department under the hall, subject to the dual management of the higher military command and the hall.

In terms of organizational structure, Thalorian Kingdom was relatively advanced.

But no matter how good the system was, if the people weren't competent, it would gradually become corrupt.

Based on the people Rode had come into contact with so far, except for the iron-masked Manolobana, most of them were still acceptable.

"Well, let's find a way to get rid of him. Hmm, I'm from the Green Feather faction, so it shouldn't be a problem to create some factional disputes, right? Besides, that guy looks so sneaky, he's definitely not a good person. Who knows, maybe he's the mastermind behind the scenes."

"That's right, that's how it should be. I must expose him, force him to eat some shit, and then chop him up. Perfect!"

Lost in his thoughts, Rode arrived at Yusef's church medical center.

It was a standard medical-style square building made of green stones, covering a large area. Dozens of spiritual lamps hung on the walls, indicating a high requirement for lighting.

But for some reason, black mist still hovered above the building, forming a small vortex, even lower than other buildings.

When Rode got off the carriage, Yusef was about to close the iron gate.

As soon as she saw Rode, a look of joy appeared on her chubby face, and she rushed over to give Rode a bear hug.

"Little guy, I missed you so much!"

Rode hadn't had a chance to speak yet when his throat made a groan under the weight.

"Big... big sister! I'm suffocating!"

"Oh, sorry little guy, your body grows too slowly. Men should be stronger!"

Yusef laughed.

"It's been over a month since I last saw you. Let me see how much you've grown in the academy."

Yusef's finger flashed with a spiritual light and pressed directly on Rode's forehead.

"Mmm, soul... soul!"

She suddenly widened her eyes, looking at Rode incredulously.

"1200, no no, 1300 marks? Your soul energy intensity has exceeded a thousand?"

Yusef's face was about to burst, and the intense shock echoed in her eyes. Even her eyelids, which weighed at least ten pounds, couldn't cover it up.

"Oh my god, you've only been in the academy for a month? When I saw you, you were so weak and helpless, and your natural soul energy was only 5. In just a month, your soul energy has expanded by hundreds of times?"

From Yusef's expression, she was about to faint.

Rode couldn't help but worry, am I growing too fast? Am I going to be dissected?

But Yusef didn't lose her composure. She was just extremely excited, like a student who was originally not favored suddenly becoming the top of the class.

"This is great! You truly deserve my attention! Little guy, are you in the Starfire Sequence or the Spiritfire Sequence?"

Rode answered, "Starfire."

"How many fire seeds have you ignited?"

"Three."

Igniting three fire seeds in just over a month, what level was this?

From Yusef's expression, she was simply on the verge of fainting.

Rode was also taken aback. He had witnessed Yusef's treatment before, and it was completely different.
