Chapter 156 Soul Summoning Array
Chapter 156 Soul-Summoning Array
In the Dragon Soul Continent, there has always been such a rumor that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The devils lurking in the depths of the darkness are ready to move. They try to come to the surface again and again to completely destroy everything here. They turn the beautiful surface world into a bright red, dark, and terrible world like their hometown's ninth-level abyss. They lurk in darkness, death and shadows, and use their sweet words to tempt those stupid mortals to be fooled. They try to use their hands to come to this world and spread destruction and despair.
Just as there is light, there is darkness, and there is justice, there is evil, some people are determined to be police officers to maintain world peace, some people are bored and want to be terrorists. Some people are willing to sacrifice everything for the happiness of others, and some people try their best to just want to see the earth burn.
The soul-calling array is the product of the latter's concept. Their original purpose was to tear apart the space between the ninth-level 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 the wind and rain, and do everything... Well, this can only be considered a delusion. After all, compared to the devil who has no helper and can only control and control it from a long distance, the power on the side of the light is extremely powerful here, under the dragon soul of the light.
There are angels flying around everywhere, and the immortal nobles under the Dark Dragon Soul are enough for them to drink a few pots. For a less appropriate example, a devil comes to this world through a ritual array, just like a novice player has just built a character, but before he can show his ambitions, the boss falls from the sky and completely wipes him mercilessly. I believe that players who encounter this situation will only use the keyboard to throw their anger - this is impossible to play!
The situation encountered by the devils is roughly the same. After many attempts without success, they gave up this approach easily, but the devils discovered a plan that could achieve their goals without their own hands. Those stupid mortals who live on the surface seem to be more enthusiastic than those of them in terms of destruction and disruption of the world. Although they are far from qualified in terms of skills, they are still far from qualified, but in terms of enthusiasm and professional attitudes and human seriousness, the great devils in the Nine Abyss sigh. So the devils quickly changed their minds, and they began to choose to seduce the mortals' depravity and let them become pawns that disrupt the continent instead, while they are behind the scenes, leisurely and freely enjoying the spread of chaos and death.
It is precisely because of the changing attitudes of the devils that the soul-calling magic array originally used to tear apart the gaps in space and achieve a hell channel has also changed its purpose. Through this magic array, those devil believers can give pure souls to the devils they serve, thus getting rewards from their masters to gain more powerful power. For devils, they can easily obtain sweet souls without risking their lives, which is also a thing worth celebrating.
The same is true for the soul-calling array that appears here right now.
“That is, there are believers of the devil here?”
Rhode stared at the magic circle in a daze. The blood mark on it was not too old, which means that someone must have used it here before.
"It should be."
Celia turned her head and looked at the village surrounded by the forest not far away. She held the sword tightly with both hands and looked serious.
"The mission this time is not simple, master, I suspect someone is making a fuss here."
"I hope they don't play high and play themselves in too."
Rhode replied coldly, then he turned to Celia.
"How is the situation in the village?"
"Most places are normal, nothing unusual, only the cellar is left with a slight darkness, but it should be the girl's residence, and I haven't found any problem."
“Check again.”
Rhodes remained silent for a moment, and then gave the order.
"Go and see the cemetery and the woods in the north of the village. Since there are devil believers here, it is impossible for them to stay without anything. I will be responsible for checking the village again to see the situation."
"I understand, master."
Hearing Rhode's order, Celia nodded quickly, and then she quickly spread her wings and flew into the sky. After the angel girl left, Rhode then withdrew her gaze and waved to Lando and others standing on the side.
"Come with me, we have important things to do."
The originally lively village was extremely quiet at this moment. Due to Rhode's tough attitude at the beginning, the villagers had clearly marked them as unpopular people. However, even so, they could not get any advantage under the other party's hands. After all, no matter what, it was not easy to mess with the nobles who were serving the side. Therefore, they could only barely suppress their dissatisfaction and bow their heads to surrender. In order to avoid getting angry, they all chose to hide at home, lock the door, and secretly look out with dissatisfaction, anger and fear, and at the same time, they strictly prohibit their children from going out to play.
Rhode was not under pressure for such unfriendly treatment. He didn't even care about these villagers at all, especially after Christie's incident... Although she was indeed not his sister, seeing a girl who looked exactly like her sister was also very unhappy when she encountered the cruel treatment of these villagers. He thought that he was very polite to burn it here without a torch, and that group of villagers were not qualified to ask for more.
Just a group of NPCs really treat themselves as human beings.
“It’s so cool.”
Walking on the uninhabited street, Joey, who was following Rhode, couldn't help but squeeze his hands with excitement. Of course, he also saw the depressed look of the villagers who dared not speak out, but he did not have any remorse or uneasiness. After all, when they came here before, they were always being looked down upon, and even those dead children dared to curse and insult them. Now, the retribution is repatriation. The group of high-ranking and arrogant guys are today, which makes these mercenaries feel very happy. They finally realized the pleasure of the private soldiers under the nobles' daily life.
"Sir, you are so great. I never thought I would see these guys here bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes. Haha, it's so comfortable to look at their current embarrassed look."
"Okay, Joey, don't talk so much nonsense."
Lando frowned and interrupted his companion's words. He knew that his friend was always a little careless and used to doing whatever he wanted, but this was in front of his leader, and Rhode had always created his serious and indifferent image, which made Lando a little worried. He knew very well that Rhode was a very serious person and did not allow anyone to challenge his authority. Although he seemed easy to get along with, once you provoke him, the other party would have no priorities at all.
But he didn't expect that Rhode actually answered Joey's words casually.
"Strength and status are the prerequisites for ensuring dignity. If your mercenary group can kill a few idiots who are not eyed here, and then they can ask people not to cause trouble for you, I can guarantee that they will worship you like their ancestors next time they see you. Of course, idiots with not eyed are everywhere. Although their existence value is not as valuable as a bee, they are still a good stepping stone to consolidate their status again and again, as long as they are not overturned by the other party, then everything will be done."
"The leader is worthy of being the leader, and his words are so incisive."
Hearing Rhode's response, the thief smiled and immediately beat the snake and followed the stick. As mercenaries, they certainly knew how important it is to hold a good thigh. However, Rhodes rarely appear around them, which made these mercenaries feel difficult to get close to. Now that they have such a good opportunity, they naturally cannot let go.
"Strength gains power, power controls power, and it's the same in any world."
Rhode murmured to himself, then he stopped and looked at a wooden house next to him. It was located on the edge of the village square and seemed no different from other places. However, Rhode always felt a faint and bored feeling here, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
“Where is this place?”
“It seems like a warehouse here…”
Lando raised his head, looked at the wooden house in front of him carefully, and muttered to himself. Rhode frowned, then walked to the door, reached out and knocked on the door lightly.
No one responded.
"It seems that no one should be there. Sir, do you want me to do it..."
Before Joey could come forward to show his thief skills, Rhode punched the door, and then the fragile door panel broke through, and the sound echoed throughout the square, but no one dared to come out to check it out.
Rhode had no scruples. After punching the wooden door, he walked into the wooden house leisurely, calmly as if he was returning to his vacation room. Instead, the thief looked around nervously, and after a moment he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I really didn't realize that our leader is so violent... But it's really good enough. I've never tried to break into the door!"
"Shut up!"
Lando held his forehead and sighed helplessly. He glared at Joey fiercely, then followed Rhode in.
The huge room was filled with thick wooden barrels, which were neatly arranged in it, and you could vaguely smell the smell of vegetables and fruit wine. The sunlight projected from the dirty windows, illuminating the warehouse - dust appeared in the sunlight, and they slowly floated in the air and spread around.
There is nothing.
Rhodes walked slowly around the room and found nothing. However, the boredom in his heart did not disappear, but on the contrary, it became stronger and stronger.
It was not until a burst of rapid footsteps came that Rhodes' thoughts were interrupted. He raised his head and saw the old village chief rushing into the wooden house with a bitter face.
"Sir Rhodes, what are you doing? If you want to come in, just say it to me..."
The old village chief whispered while wiping the sweat beads on his head. However, Rhode obviously did not intend to take his complaints seriously. He gave up the virtue of "respecting the elderly" without hesitation, reached out and pointed to the stairs leading to the underground.
“There is the cellar there?”
"Yes, sir, that little…Christy lives here."
Rhode nodded when he heard the old village chief's answer, and then he walked down the stairs.
The cold air hits my face.
With the help of the dim light, Rhode easily saw the cellar in front of him. The walls were made of stones, and the thick wine barrels were placed on the side. In a dark corner of the cellar, Rhode saw a small wooden bed with a little white sheet on it and the worn clothes were neatly stacked beside it. However, from the water marks above, it can be seen that these clothes were not possible to dry.
Apart from these things, there is no longer any human habitation in the cellar.
"Master, you'd better come up quickly. It's wet and cold below, which is not good for your health..."
"Lando."
Rhode ignored the old village chief's words and hooked his hand back. Soon, the Ranger walked up and looked at his regiment commander curiously.
"Go inform others, we will gather in the square tonight, and we are about to start the action. So we need them to replenish our energy early...and let Christie come together."
