Chapter 1594: Operational Preparation
Erathia.
Ever since he rescued Rowling, Rhodes has been far away from this ancient and magical land, but now, he's back here.
From Sally's mouth, Rhodes learns that Erathia, who belongs to the human race, once had a glorious past.
The human beings who follow the gods have gained supreme power, but now, the power belonging to the gods has long since died, and the only thing that can prove the glory of the past seems to be the angels in Cloudsdale. As for the knights and nobles on the surface, Rhodes never took them seriously.
"Are your men ready?"
Following Sally through the dark portal to the Thieves' Guild in White Rock City, Rhodes said in a deep voice, "This is close to the south of the continent, if you need it, I can summon necromancers and vampires from Vilning to help." ”
"Didn't I say that? You can't reveal your identity. ”
Sally shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.
"Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to attract the attention of the archangel, but fortunately, among the followers of the Demon King, there are also guild members, and they have a unique gem in their hands, which can summon doom fire from the sky, even the archangel cannot ignore this flame."
"You mean, Doomsday Crystal?" Rod seemed to have thought of something and took the initiative to ask.
Sally snapped her fingers and pointed at Rod, "yes, that's what they call that gem." ”
Rod nodded slightly, if he used the Doomsday Crystal to summon the coming of the Doomsday Judgment, he might really be able to attract the attention of the Archangel.
It just so happened that all over Erathia, there were signs of demon believers' activities, and the existence of those demon believers undoubtedly better concealed the true purpose of Rhodes and his party.
While Rod was thinking, Sally had been flipping through a pamphlet in her hand, writing something with a quill from time to time. The booklet in her hand was somewhat similar to the one Rhodes had obtained not long ago, except that the number of pages was thicker.
Bursts of heat surged from Rhodes' mind, and he lifted his head, his gaze as if through the thick walls of the ashram to see the flames falling from the sky.
"They're already on the move." Sally reminded.
Rhodes nodded, and before Sally reminded him, the demon blood in his body was signaled one step ahead, and he could feel the use of all doomsday crystals.
"The archangel is fending off the flames of the sky, and it's time to head to the Treasure House in the Clouds." After getting the information she wanted, Sally closed the booklet in her hand, quickly walked to Rod's side, and whispered.
"Wait......" However, Rhodes did not act in the first place.
In Sally's somewhat puzzled eyes, Rhodes grasped the eyeball pendant hanging in front of him.
Now that he knows the identity of the archangel stationed here, the treasure in front of Rhodes can also come in handy.
"Gabriel ......"
Reciting the name of the archangel in his heart, the eyeball pendant in Rod's hand slowly opened, transmitting the situation in the distance to Rod's mind.
Among the clouds, the seraphim with a golden crown and golden armor was raising her slender fingers to point to the sky, and ripples spread from her fingertips, turning horizontally into a huge portal, enveloping the crimson sky.
The flames that fell from the sky, before they touched the ground, were sent away by this golden portal, and they didn't know where they led.
Feeling this scene from the farsighted pendant, Rod's face gradually became difficult to see.
"It's not the time yet." Rhodes said in a deep voice, "With that archangel in his presence, the Doomsday Fire is not a threat at all. ”
"Really?" She tilted her head a little suspiciously, and after seeing Rod's solemn expression, she reopened the booklet in her hand.
Looking at the new content on the pamphlet, her face changed, and there were more different things in her eyes when she looked at Rod.
"It seems that what you said is true...... The archangel cast a spell to block the fire of doom without leaving the treasure house in the clouds. ”
Rod exhaled deeply, although angels are a symbol of omnipotence, different archangels are good at using different abilities.
Gabriel, who is stationed in the Treasure House in the Clouds, is even more adept at spellcasting. If Rhodes was not mistaken, the crown of the oracle she wore on top of her head was the one she had seen in Kane's memories.
In addition, the armor on her body was not ordinary, and the surface was shrouded in a layer of golden light, and even from a distance, Rhodes could feel the divine aura attached to it.
The spell she used to block the fire of doom was the door of another dimension that Rhodes was familiar with, and once upon a time, Rhodes also used such spells to fend off enemy attacks from the air.
If Gabriel was stationed in Standwick, I am afraid that before this, Rhodes would not be able to rescue Rowling with the Doomsday Judgment, and her existence would be equivalent to a legendary mage with no weaknesses.
With the blessing of the Crown of Oracles, Rhodes believed that whether it was a regular spell, or an underworld witchcraft, or even an undead spell, as long as the archangel wanted to, she could cast it.
"The Doomsday Crystal doesn't work, do you have any other plans?" Shaking his head, Rhodes asked quickly.
Sally pursed her lips: "The archangel is really difficult to deal with, even I, I may not be able to defeat her, so far, it seems that there is only one way." ”
"Retreat for a while, come back later?" Rod asked with some confusion, according to the style of those thieves, this seems extremely likely, but for Rod, there may not be such a good opportunity in the future.
"No, it's a hard break." Sally said slowly, "Although I can't defeat the archangel, I have no problem holding her back for a while. I've tried, and even the archangel can't see me in the dark, which obscures all traces of action. ”
As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and sighed slightly: "It seems that I can't enter the Cloud Treasure House with you." The treasure house in the clouds keeps rare treasures in the world, but each treasure is stained with a powerful curse, you must not be fooled by those treasures, only take what you need most. ”
From her words, Rod seemed to hear something and asked, "What about you?" Don't you want to know the secrets of the fall of the Holy City? ”
She smiled slightly, "I have found the most precious treasure. I don't want you to have too many curses on you. ”
As she spoke, she took out a treasure and handed it to Rod: "This is for you, I think you will need it." ”
Rhodes took the treasure that Sally had taken out, and after using the system to identify the efficacy of this treasure, he glanced at Sally with some confusion.
Without asking anything, Rhodes nodded: "I will use this treasure well." ”
