After defeating the mirror image of fate, it means that everyone has broken through the final obstacle. What they have to face next is to step into this final core and ignite the fire. Logically speaking, this should have been the most exciting, exciting and nervous moment, but...

"Sister Lijie, what's wrong with the team leader?"

Looking at the steps floating in front of him as depressed as a ghost, Rhodes, who was as listless as if he hadn't slept for several days, he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked in a low voice. After leaving the Wheel of Destiny, everyone walked into a swaying downward staircase, with infinite voids and stars everywhere, which looked very beautiful. But everyone was more worried about Rhodes' situation. Since the battle ended before and obtained the spoils, Rhodes has always been wandering around. Looking at him like that, it really makes people worry if he would step on the air and fall down the stairs directly, and then... there was no more.

"I don't know very well, maybe it's related to that crystal..."

Faced with Annie's inquiry, Lijie could only shake her head helplessly. She and Marlin looked at each other in confusion, but they were completely unable to figure out what was wrong with this. However, this was only for them. For Rhode himself, he was completely tragic.

The trophy [Projection Crystal] that Marlin found is not even considered equipment, nor is it a raw material like [Fantasy Magic Stone]. On the contrary, it belongs to a type of prop, and it is [Building Props]. That is to say, in terms of nature itself, it is like [Mysterious Ball], which belongs to the species that can only work after being embedded in the system.

But……………

Although it does have very powerful power, it is of no use to Rhodes.

Although it does have very powerful power, it is of no use to Rhodes.

Because it is very important, so I have to say it twice.

Projection crystal is a type of construction prop. Its ability sounds very powerful, but it is actually very simple. It is also very simple. Imagine all the images within the scope of the system setting holder and present them in front of the holder. To put it bluntly, it means that there are countless surveillance cameras in Rhode's territory that can monitor any place in all directions and all day long and will not be discovered. As long as Rhode wants, he can directly call up any picture at any time and place. And he can also zoom in and out like shooting a movie, and flip up and down like shooting a movie. Since projection crystal, as its name is, reflects the influence on the crystal through magic fluctuations, as long as it exists, it will be clearly presented in front of Rhode.

But that's all.

If you want to talk about holographic maps, Rhodes' own construction system also comes with it. What the current projection crystal does is just to image ordinary holographic maps, just like a simple satellite map picture evolved to the extent that you can take street photos anytime and anywhere. This is the ultimate effect. If you have any strategic value, it is probably that through projection crystal, Rhodes can monitor anywhere in his territory. No matter what kind of secret talks or conspiracies it is, it will not have any meaning in front of him.

Although looking at the benefits, this crystal can also be used to peek at girls' baths and underwear, for Rhodes, those who are interested in watching are basically willing to wash and roll the sheets with him, so he doesn't need to look so sadly at the voyeur image that he curled up in the corner of the wall to exercise his right hand. In addition, the projection crystal is soul-bound, which means that other than Rhodes, it is impossible for others to even activate this thing. But as the lord, Rhodes cannot stay in the house for twenty-four hours a day to watch these things!

It is precisely because of this that after getting this thing that "sounds great, but is actually useless to me", Rhodes was speechless. If this thing is not soul-bound, then he could find a few people to use it to monitor his territory, which is also a special security system. But if only he can use it, it is really only when he is bored to peek at the girl taking a bath... Think about it better, peeping can also have the fun of peeping.

Rhodes' only choice now is to see if Sarah can use this projection crystal. After all, as a corpse slave, she can move through the soul power she injected into. Logically speaking, Sarah's soul fluctuations are consistent with her. If she can use it, Rhodes can let Sarah take charge of this matter. If she can succeed, that would be great. As an undead, Sarah has first-class confidentiality and does not need to rest twenty-four hours a day. It is a good choice if she puts it under Qi Lian.

Of course, this is based on the fact that she can activate [Projection Crystal].

If it cannot be started.........It's good to peek occasionally...

Thinking of this, Rhode sighed helplessly. Sure enough, this twisted black hand halo, even with Marlene's red hand halo, its effect is not much better. As a result, what's the point of giving yourself a thing that looks useful but is actually similar to a waste?

"That...Rod?"

Just as Rhode was sighing helplessly, Marlene's voice came from behind him, which also made Rhode's consciousness return to the real world from the tragic sea of ​​Dillac. It was not until this time that he realized that he had walked through the spiral corridor that seemed to never end. He was standing in front of a thick stone door. On the surface, this stone door looked almost exactly the same as the metal door that had been opened before, with all kinds of weird gears and bearings, and the gap in the middle of the door.

Have you arrived?

It was not until this time that Rhode completely took back his thoughts from his previous tragic equipment. Even Lijie and Anne, who were still relaxed just now, couldn't help but become much silent at this time. Although they had just faced the mirror of their own destiny before, there was still a more important issue to deal with--that was Marlin.

After being scolded by Rhode, Marlene had confessed everything to them. Even Anne, the most careless Anne, knew the fate that Marlene would face next. But even Anne couldn't say what to give up. She was just simple and not a fool. Everyone came here with great difficulty. At the risk of their lives, some people even died for it. Let me say now, because Marlene was going to sacrifice, everyone stopped doing it? How could this be possible?

But... it was not something that the two of them did to sacrifice their friends so coldly. Although Rhode once said that even when he needed to sacrifice Marlene, he was sure to save Marlene, after all, when he thought of seeing his friend die in front of him, no one would be indifferent.

"Mr. Rod, what's going on above?"

Lijie frowned and asked involuntarily. When she heard her inquiry, Rhode frowned, and then responded after being silent for a moment.

"I just contacted Lasti. The Chaos People have attacked ninety-eight times in a row. Although Christie has helped them get three more days, it seems that it is the limit so far."

"Hey? Three days? Why do I feel that we have less than two days left?"

Hearing Rhode's answer, Lijie couldn't help but scream in surprise. It's no wonder that after entering here, although there is order to keep the flow of time, in fact, it is impossible to feel the real length of time at all. At most, it is just that through the behavior of "hungry", you can feel when you should eat. But the problem is that people here are basically not normal people - although Anne, a half-beast, is greedy, but her bloodline makes her not eat for two or three days in the battle. Lijie is a half-angel, similar to an elf, and has an appetite.

Not big. Eating a few fruits is enough to regain energy. Not to mention Rhode himself, although he doesn't know what his bloodline is, he is not human at least. As for Marlene, although she was "once" a normal human, she seemed to have become less humanized after being tampered with by another person in that weird space. At least she hasn't even drank saliva throughout the way, and she has no intention of fatigue. Except for being penetrated through her shoulders just now, she has lost too much blood and a pale complexion.

It is too difficult to count on these perverts to rely on their bodies to experience the real flow of time.

"Maybe there is a difference in the time flow here and above."

Hearing Lijie's inquiry, Rhode couldn't help frowning. Players in the game didn't care about these things before, but after contacting Lasty, Rhode was surprised to find that ten days had passed. Chaos' attack had reached its peak step by step. Another Christie had used the True Knowledge Scroll three times in a row to buy time for them, but from the news she just got from Lasty, it had reached its limit. According to another Christie, the energy she could use now has reached the critical point. If she uses the True Knowledge Scroll, Christie's body would completely collapse, so she would not participate in the battle again. But this was enough for Rhode. If there was no other Christie's assistance, I'm afraid the upper team would have been wiped out.

But even so, the next stage is the final stage. The guardians above suffered heavy losses and nearly one-third of the mercenaries he brought. However, what made Rhode the most headache was that because Lasti asked the Heroic Spirit Legion to protect the mercenaries, the bow knights whom he most hoped for also lost more than half. So Rhode knew that there was no time to fish again.

Thinking of this, Rhodes realized that the other three people were staring at him quietly. Each of them had different eyes, but they all had the same meaning. Next, it was time for him to make the decision.

"Forget it, everything is the choice of the stone gate, it depends on God's will."

As he murmured, Rhode raised his head and pointed a little at Marlene.

"Malin, open the door."

"Okay, Rhodes."

Hearing Rhode's order, even Marin, who was the most calm, couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this time. She turned around and raised her right hand. Soon, the staff assembled by metal appeared in Marin's hand, and then inserted into the stone door in front of her with Marin's movement. Soon, the gears and bearings completely carved from stone began to rotate, and then the door slowly opened.

No sound.

This thick stone door, which was obviously more than five meters high, was completely opened quietly without a trace of sound. Inside it was a scene that everyone had never imagined.

“Wow…………………”

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Annie couldn't help but exclaim, and even Lijie covered her mouth at this moment, revealing an expression of surprise.

In front of them was the boundless starry sky. The whole world seemed to have lost its distinction between up, down, left and right. No matter which direction it looked from, it was the formation of void and shining. The stars gathered together to form a river of light, which rotated slowly. In the middle of this space, there was a sphere like the sun, which shone with white light, but was not bright and even a little dim.

"Is that the spark......"

Marin stared at the ball in front of her and murmured to herself. Although as the heir of the Shania family and the destined sacrifice, she had heard of the fire, which was an existence that could not be ignored for the land of order. However, only by seeing it with her own eyes can we feel that unprecedented sense of existence. At this moment, Marin even felt that every grass and tree in this world, every life, every river and even every stone, existed for it. She felt that her sight could not even leave the round fireball, like a moth that was flying into the fire, rushing towards the other party. Then she melted completely in it... Until she noticed that Rhodes's palm pressed on her shoulder, Marin stopped. Only then did she realize that she had unknowingly entered this sacred palace.

"Let me do it first."

Rhode winked at Lijie and Anne, then he raised his head and quietly stared at the fire in front of him. Until now, everything was the same as in his memory, without any mistakes. If the next step is done, then the fire should be ignited. However, if his guess is correct, it is impossible for him to ignite the fire. But humans are always unwilling to give up the one-percent possibility, right?

While recalling, Rhodes came to the fire and then reached out and placed it on the burning little sun.

Soon, line of system prompts appeared in front of him.

【Tinder activation function is activated, trigger is detected】

【Start the verification procedure】

【Bloodline Matching Program Starts】

【Fire Source———

"beep……………"

At this moment, a harsh alarm sounded in Rhodes' ears, which made his heart sank. Sure enough, the next moment, a system prompt that he absolutely did not want to see appeared in front of Rhodes' eyes.

【Sealing system was detected, the system was not contacted】

【Cannot forcefully unseal, fire source startup failed】

"cut!"

Seeing this system prompt, Rhode gritted his teeth and spat. Sure enough, as he expected, the damn seal was the key point. In the game, the seal that was automatically eliminated because the Shania family was destroyed. Now, he was still showing off his presence in front of him in this form. If possible, Rhode really hoped to slash it with one sword. Unfortunately, Rhode only summoned the swordsman and was not familiar with the seal.

"Celia, Celestina, Grayhill, Madaras, Cialos, can you get this seal?"

With the last trace of helpless hope, Rhode asked about his summoning card through the soul connection, and at the same time showed the seal's true body to them. Unfortunately, after a while, everyone said that they did not have the ability to lift the seal.

"This seal is at the level of a demon god, and has been strengthened by human pure blood and soul. If it is forcibly destroyed, Sister Xiluosi can still do it, but there is nothing to say if the seal is lifted."

Finally, Celestina, who is currently the most authoritative in magic, gave an answer. Hearing her answer, Rhode raised his eyebrows.

“Forced destruction?”

"Yes, if you destroy the seal together with the seal, Sister Yiluosi's ability is completely possible."

“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Rhode had no doubt that he could kill Silasger's projection with one blow, or that could kill the sealed fire source with one blow, but the meaning of his appearance here was basically gone. Thinking of this, Rhode gritted his teeth and sighed, then he turned around and stretched out his hand to the girl behind him.

"Marlene, it's your turn."

Hearing Rhode's words, Anne and Lijie couldn't help but look down. They looked at the girl beside them worriedly. Feeling the gaze of the two girls, Marin shook her head with a wry smile, then she reached out and gently stroked Anne and Lijie's heads.

"Then, Lijie, Anne, I'll come."

Too easy.

For Marine, she had never spoken to the two in such a tone, as if she was not going to die, but just went to visit the front and saw the scenery as simple as this. On the contrary, Anne and Lijie couldn't say a word at this time. They wanted to hold Marine, but reason stopped them from doing so. In the end, the two could only nod in silence, and looked at Marine with a smile, holding Rhode's hand.

"Are you scared?"

Although Marlene had a soft smile as always on her face, Rhode still felt the cold breath and a slight tremor when she held the other person's palm. When she heard Rhode's inquiry, Marlene bit her lips and turned her head and turned her back to Anne and Lijie, her expression finally seemed to show a trace of struggle, as if she was about to burst into tears.

"Anyway, that's what I have to do, isn't it? Rhodes?"

Speaking of this, Marlene raised her head and looked at the man in front of her without reservation. At this moment, she tore off all her strength, and completely showed her fear of death, fear, worry about failure of the plan, and the tension and anxiety about self-sacrifice.

"Yes, and I promise you that I will be with you."

Hearing Marlene's answer, Rhode nodded, then he held Marlene's hand, staring at the screen in front of him with his eyes tightly, while the other hand drooped down, put it in his pocket, and held the fantasy magic stone. Hearing Rod's answer, Marlene blinked, and the wine-red eyes returned to an unprecedented calm again. She was silent for a moment, then raised her head and showed a soft smile - a smile that was brighter than the sun in front of her.

Then, Marlin reached out and placed it on the fire.

Soon, a new system prompt appeared in front of Rhodes.

【The seal is released by detecting the start of the blood seal release, progress 1%】

ps: There are so many people who think that projection crystal is used to summon another Rhode……I am really surprised……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
