Chapter 46: The Harvest
Tom returned to the barracks to explain the situation to Alyssa, who smiled and hugged the shrunken Tom, muttering to herself: "That is, Rod finally agrees with me, and I am looking forward to Rode's gift." ”
"Lady Elisa, please rest assured, the host's gift will definitely surprise Alyssa-sama."
Tom looked up lazily and saw only a gentle smile on Alyssa's face, and the beast instinct could make Tom sense that she might be in trouble.
"Little Tom is really not an ordinary magic beast, he can actually speak, this must be the effect of Rod's ability, I look forward to Rod's gift."
Rod smiled, Alyssa was a smart girl, as smart as Lisa, Alyssa had apparently discovered the secret of his left hand, but chose to remain silent.
Put yourself in her shoes, if Alyssa forced herself to ask herself, in order to get Elisa's help, she would indeed tell part of the truth, but because of this, the two would have a dislike and would never be able to become real friends.
Of course, this is not possible, and Alyssa at that time did not identify with herself at all, even if she found out that she was weird, out of politeness, she would not make such a rude and uneducated act as forcing strangers.
Ignoring the fussy Alyssa and Tom, Rhodes began to focus on the task at hand, nearly one-sixth of the magic crystals stained with the small cave were placed in a messy manner, and the shape of the altar could be vaguely discerned, this time the ritual was much more troublesome than the demon transformation ritual.
The ritual is called the Fallen Ritual, and you can have a bad feeling just by listening to the name, it was originally a ritual used by demon believers when they sacrificed, and they could collect energy on a large scale and sacrifice it to demons, and Rhodes planned to use this ritual to collect energy, which was just a reluctant move by Rhodes, and demons usually disdained to use this method.
When the sky was faintly white, the scattered magic crystals were piled up by Rhodes, and only about one-third of the huge altar was left in the cave, the demon's left arm suddenly turned into a black-red giant claw, and with a flick of his index finger, a drop of black-red energy fell into the center of the altar, and the magic crystal instantly burst out with magic power, turning into a pillar of light and immediately bursting into the sky, and the magic power splashed, and all the corpses in the town and the mine and the sky of the battlefield appeared at the same time, flashing like fireflies in the night.
Alyssa was playing with Tom and looked in the direction of Rhodes, her eyes widened with surprise, but her hands were distracted to tease Tom, and then she lowered her head and smiled happily, Tom, who was being played with by Alyssa, never noticed Alyssa's surprise.
"What an exciting gift."
"Meow? Did Alyssa-sama say anything? ”
"Well, I mean, Rod's gift is really exciting."
"Of course, don't be surprised when Alyssa sees it."
Seeing that the ceremony was officially launched, Rhodes immediately got up and walked out of the cave, waved his magic power with his left hand, covered the entrance of the cave with illusions, and then ran to the mine, without caring about the corpses of the bandit leader and Ness, without moving the dwarf artillery, and ran directly to the magic crystal mining point.
The crack in the ground has been expanded by the bandits, a minecart stopped at the edge of the crack, there is still a magic crystal in the car that has not had time to be transported, Rod's left hand turned into a black and red giant claw, pressed directly on the magic crystal, the magic power converged into a visible beam of light poured into the arm, and the magic power smoothly entered the heart, this time it was not converted into energy, but began to gather rapidly, and soon formed a cylindrical crystal.
After the crystal was formed, the demand for magic power immediately increased, and the suction of the left hand began to increase, and soon a circle of magic power was formed around Rod, and the rich magic power was restrained by the left arm within a radius of ten meters, without any escape, and was pulled by the magic storm, and the underground magic crystal and the magic crystal that was made into a bomb also began to overflow the magic power.
It wasn't until the sky was bright that the magic storm began to get smaller, and in the heart, the cylindrical crystal turned into magic power had a huge volume of nearly ten meters high and six meters in diameter, fortunately, the demon heart was originally a natural space treasure, and when the magic storm completely disappeared, the cylindrical crystal was exactly ten meters high and six meters in diameter.
After absorbing the magic power, Rhodes didn't listen, the black-red aura of his left arm slowly expanded, his face showed pain, his teeth clenched together due to pain, and a huge cylindrical crystal slowly emerged from his left arm, and the black-red aura was extremely thin, giving people the feeling that it would collapse at any time.
The pain came and went as fast as it could, and when the black-red aura was large enough, the cylindrical crystal was immediately spit out from the arm.
With a muffled bang, the cylindrical crystal with a height of ten meters and a diameter of six meters, tried to pick up the cylindrical crystal, using five parts of force, and the weight of the immovable line made Rod full of black lines, until he used eight points of force to pick up the cylindrical crystal, and when he was ten strong, he could easily hold the cylindrical crystal and act.
In the middle of the night, the speed of one step at a time made Rod frown and put down the cylindrical crystal, looked at the attribute bar in the lower left corner of the field of vision, the energy in his heart boiled, surging towards his limbs, and after the expected tearing sensation, his strength changed from 15 to 16 points, and his energy also dropped by 300 points.
When holding the cylindrical crystal again, Rhodes trotted out of the mine, the camp corpses were still in place, but there was no more red light on the corpses, and someone would definitely deal with the scene later, so Rhodes left these corpses.
The cloth has been burned by the flames, only an iron chain was found, the cylindrical crystal was tied and placed on the back, and it was checked hard, and then he strode towards the cave with satisfaction, and removed the illusion, the magic crystal had turned into powder and fell to the ground, leaving only the crystal wrapped in black and red breath, not as hard as the magic crystal, which was pinched by Rhodes' left hand, and automatically poured into his left arm as energy.
The energy instantly increased by 2620 points, plus the remaining energy, it reached exactly 2800 points, seeing that the time was close to noon, Rhodes rushed to the direction of the town with all his feet, sat on the personnel carrier parked nearby, put the cylindrical crystals in the co-pilot, first wrapped it with the cloth on the car, and then rushed to the direction of the barracks with full horsepower.
When he arrived at the camp in the afternoon, Tom, who was holding Elisa, was already smiling and waiting for Rod in front of the barracks, and beside Alyssa, the butler Sil, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and behind Sil there was a respectful general-like figure.
Rhodes suddenly realized that Alyssa had already sent Ciel to find foreign aid, and yes, as a descendant of the nobles of the fiefdom, it was impossible for Alyssa to hand over her safety to others.
Rhodes parked the car at the gate of the barracks, picked up the cylindrical crystal wrapped in cloth and chains and jumped out of the car, the ground banged muffled, and the troop carrier also creaked and shook, the smile on Alyssa's face was even worse, but the general-like figure changed his face greatly, stared at the cylindrical crystal carefully, looked at Alyssa, wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth.
"Welcome back."
"I'm back."
Rod smiled sincerely, such a simple four words, but it means that the two people have officially become friends, and are no longer someone with useful value.
Ciel also smiled, and he was sincerely happy that his young lady could have excellent friends.
Rhodes didn't ask anyone else about it, and walked directly into the camp with Alyssa, and Sil watched the two enter the camp tent, and said something to the general, and then stood outside the tent, the general waved his hand, and several personnel carriers quickly set off.
The cylindrical crystal was put on the ground by Rhodes, and there was another muffled sound, Rhodes untied the chains and opened the fabric, only to hear Alyssa exclaim: "Magic crystal!" ”
