CH 157

On the night-like surface of the monument, the huge soul plunged into the bright yellow star, and the light of the star suddenly burned like flames.

When the soul of the distorted behemoth entered, the intensity of "Righteous Execution" increased from 1024 to 1159.

When the soul of the Abyssal Demon entered, the intensity of "Righteous Execution" increased from 1159 to 1510.

Rode's soul intensity also leaped from 1264 to 1750.

Increased by nearly one-third.

It seems that there is a huge difference between powerful souls.

The soul of the Abyssal Demon is nearly three times stronger than the soul of the distorted behemoth.

Looking at the third star that illuminated more than half of the monument, Rode smiled again.

The final position of the star is usually the sum of all previous positions, so when the intensity reaches 2000, "Righteous Execution" also reaches the highest position.

Rode continued to read.

Just two or three more trips outside.

After "Righteous Execution" reaches the "Eternal Flame," he will start making "Soul Firewood" and upgrade the "Spiritual Boat."

Although the "Spiritual Boat" is weak, its star power is very useful. After upgrading the position, the summoned "Spiritual Boat" may run faster and consume less spiritual energy.

This is another security guarantee.

If during this period, he can find monsters with special souls, he can ignite the next star.

Rode suddenly became full of confidence.

Returning to the material world, he enjoyed a delicious midnight snack at the Hunter's Tavern.

The grilled mushroom meat and honey flower wine were really appetizing. Food and wine were one of the most beautiful things in this world. Being able to enjoy them in such a harsh environment, it must be said that the humans of Thalorian are truly great.

The key is that it's free, courtesy of Ado.

There weren't many hunters in the tavern, only a few scattered hunters sitting in the spacious space of over two hundred square meters. They were all wearing long hunter coats and had hunter hoods on, silently drinking alone, waiting for something.

There weren't many hunters in the tavern during the day either.

Perhaps there weren't many people in the Hunter's Guild.

Rode thought to himself.

After about two hours, the Iron Wolf trio finally completed the handover of the mission.

The support mission in Qingcao Town rewarded them with nine thousand silver coins, and the killing of the Abyssal Demon rewarded them with six thousand silver coins. They also brought sixty experience points and sixty honor points to the Iron Wolf trio.

The Hunter's Guild had a total of nine star levels, and every one hundred experience points would increase one level. The highest level was a nine-star hunter. Star levels only represented one's past experiences, and high-level hunters were not necessarily strong, but they definitely had rich experience.

Hunter honor points were important rewards that could be exchanged for many resources and benefits.

Originally, Rode couldn't receive experience and honor points due to his low star level, but the Iron Wolf trio argued on his behalf, strongly emphasizing that Rode had contributed greatly and was not a slacker. After repeated confirmation by the Hunter's Guild headquarters, Rode was given the same rewards as the others.

Ado handed the honor box containing sixty small iron pieces to Rode with a smile on her face.

"This is your hunter honor. If you have any needs, you can exchange it at the Hunter's Guild."

"Soren, you're really amazing. You accomplished such a great feat on your first mission. My heart almost jumped out when I heard them talking about it..."

Ado praised Rode incessantly, praising his strength from various aspects, and said that from now on, anything he ate at her place would be free.

From her rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes, it could be seen that this "food" she mentioned obviously included more than just food.

"So, Soren, can you help me complete the new sixty-four sewer tasks?"

Smack.

Rode covered his face.

I knew it.

But how could he bear to refuse when he looked at the girl's teary eyes?

"Yay, I knew Soren is the best."

A fragrant breeze hit his face, leaving a moist and warm mark on Rode's cheek. The girl laughed lightly and ran away, leaving the space to the Iron Wolf trio.

Looking at Ado's receding figure, Sweet Tea pursed his lips and smiled, "Little Rode, Ado is really nice. Shouldn't you consider it? I can take care of her when she has a child."

Why do you always quickly associate a kiss with having children?

Rode looked at the thick stack of sixty-four mission briefs in his hand and felt very conflicted.

Cleaning the sewer was indeed not difficult for him, but his spiritual energy was almost depleted, and it would take at least a few days for "Frigid Green" to fully recover. The aftereffects of "Awakening" had also appeared, and his soul was filled with a sense of exhaustion.

Iron Wolf coughed and said, "After our discussion, the total reward for the mission is fifteen thousand silver coins. We decided to give you ten thousand silver coins since you contributed the most. If it weren't for you, we would most likely have died there."

Rode didn't know what to say.

If it weren't for him, the Abyssal Demon wouldn't have appeared, and they wouldn't have encountered danger at all.

But he was also in desperate need of money now. Killing the Abyssal Demon had depleted all his supplies.

He needed to go shopping again.

This ten thousand silver coins could just make up for his losses.

So, he didn't refuse and silently accepted the money.

Afterwards, the four of them chatted briefly and bid farewell to each other.Each of them had their own burdens to bear. Iron Wolf was a single father. His wife, also a hunter, had suffered irreversible injuries during a mission and had fallen into a permanent coma. She had to consume a portion of white bone marrow ash every day, or she would die. On top of that, he had four children to take care of.

Big Bug was another tragic man. His parents and nine siblings had all died from severe infections during an attack, leaving him with twelve children to raise. He had devoted himself to their upbringing, remaining single to this day.

Sweet Tea was slightly better off. Her husband had died honorably in battle, and the royal city had issued a large amount of compensation. Her two sons were grown up. Although they didn't have the talent of a Flame Holder, they were both studying hard, aspiring to become respected scholars. Her only hope now was to move to the safe, bright, and affluent upper city district, providing her sons with the best living environment.

They were all in desperate need of money, yet they were willing to share so much with me.

Such good companions. I should help them out if I get the chance.

Rode pocketed the money, planning to go back to Grey Street to get some materials from the medicine woman.

Wooden puppets were really useful.

But the recovery of spiritual power could only be achieved with the passage of time.

Rode's spiritual power was different from others. The potions for recovering spiritual power had little effect on him, and the bonus from the Guardian Flame was barely noticeable. Any spiritual power meditation training, spiritual power enhancement practice, or spiritual power growth potion had no effect on him.

Rode could only enhance his spiritual power by igniting the stars, and he could only rely on himself for slow recovery.

Therefore, in the following two days, Rode could only leisurely stroll in the sewer, using the most energy-saving method to complete sixty-four sewer tasks.

Although the efficiency was much lower than the feat of completing thirty-four sewer tasks in seven hours, Rode was also recovering his spiritual power.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

By the time he returned to Ado's Hunter Tavern to hand in the sixty-four sewer tasks, his spiritual power had recovered by nearly half.

Ado, who was overjoyed by the continuous praise from the Hunter Headquarters, shyly invited Rode to come to her house to see the spraying lilies after her shift.

Although Rode was slightly tempted, his leave had ended, and he had to return to the secret base.

He would have to arrange another time.
