Chapter 621: The Path of Awakening

"What went wrong?"

Not only Rod himself was puzzled by this, but even the other Holy Sword cards were puzzled. Celestina folded her arms and frowned, looking thoughtful. Celia also shook her head beside her, and even Gresil and Madaras did not smile uncharacteristically, but stood silently beside them. Only Herose didn't look like anything had changed, she just stood by with a weird smile shaking her body. Echhorn, Dona, and Catherine bowed their heads and exchanged a few words with each other, but looking at their appearances, it was clear that they had not drawn any useful conclusions.

"Is it because you don't use it often?"

In the end, the canary, who was still standing next to him, hesitated to ask, and for Rod only shrugged his shoulders, he didn't think about this aspect. But then again, if that's the case, then it's really troublesome. Because there is only time, this problem is the least solvable. Rhodes is most commonly used by Celia, Celestina, Greyhill and Madaras. The other swords were almost never used, and at most they occasionally used Heros. If you want to talk about the tacit understanding between Rhodes and the four holy swords, it is not to say, but the other swords are another matter. Especially Kalian, due to the lack of technical personnel under Rhodes, this holy sword basically appeared as a logistics technician after being summoned by Rhodes. Things like building a magic warship were all done by her, Labis, and Marlene. Among them, Karen is in charge of the most important basic part, so that although Rhodes summoned her very early, it is equivalent to saying that she has not used this holy sword at all. Originally, Rhodes didn't think it was a problem, but he didn't expect it, and now this problem has come to his door.

In fact, Rhodes can also feel that every time he uses Kalian. The other party's reaction will be slightly out of sync. It's like two people in the maelstrom, desperately hoping to hold each other's hands, but after trying several times, either this side is fast or that side is slow, and there is no tacit understanding at all. And it's not that Kalian's side doesn't work hard. He could feel that Kalian was also working hard, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cooperate or couldn't cooperate, and his efforts were in vain.

"This is not deep enough, regimental commander, drag it to the bed and solve everything with one shot! Let's get to know each other better! ”

The little bubble gum is obviously a typical example of the fear that the world will not be chaotic. Of course, the canary reached out and slapped her, knocking down the laughing schadenfreude bubble -- Bing'er and Christie were both nearby, and they didn't know how to be cautious when they spoke. Not everyone is as precocious as Bubbles.

"Indeed, brother, your run-in with other holy sword cards is still too low, and you don't know each other well enough."

Hearing Bubbles' words, my sister nodded slightly. Apparently she also "partially agreed" with Little Bubblegum's claim. In fact, even if his sister didn't say it, Rhodes was aware of the problem, but only this problem was not as easy to solve as other problems. Because there are some things that really can only be done by time. But now. Rhodes just took it out twenty-four hours a day, and it wouldn't be of much use to cooperate with the holy sword cards.

So if that's the problem, it's really hard to solve.

It's like falling in love and going on a blind date. Falling in love is a gradual and deepening process, because of mutual admiration, so they will fall in love, and during this period deepen understanding. And after each other is very familiar with each other and familiar enough to be able to tolerate each other's shortcomings, then marriage is a matter of course.

But what about blind dates? This is first of all to get married. I can't talk about any emotional foundation between the two parties, it's just because it's not good to be single anymore, and they want to find a partner for each other, so they will go on a blind date. For both parties, marriage is like a task rather than a heartfelt acknowledgment of each other. So after the blind date, as long as the other party is okay on the surface, then you can get married. But because of this, the problems of each other have not been revealed. This is one of the reasons why there will be a lot of flash marriages. I didn't know anything about it in the first place, so naturally I would have such and such conflicts after getting married.

If this is used as a metaphor for the relationship between Rhodes and the Holy Sword card, it is as if someone ordered them to have a good relationship, and they get to know each other in the shortest possible time like lovers in love, and whoever releases this will feel awkward. So even if both parties know that they should do this, psychological resistance is inevitable. And feelings are the most difficult things to explain, and it is more troublesome to express them. It's easier to leave sequelae, maybe even if the two sides are in love on the surface, the result is still in Cao Ying's heart in Han. Tossing for a long time is equal to tossing in vain.

"I don't think there's anything too good to do."

After thinking about it, Rhodes finally shook his head helplessly. At least he felt that this problem could not be solved in a short period of time, and as for what Bubbles said about dragging Karen to the bed or something, even if he heard the joke, he would lose if he was serious.

"It's not impossible."

However, what made Rhodes different was that at this time, suddenly his sister interrupted him with a smile and an opening of her mouth. Hearing his sister's words, Rod couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. Sensing her brother's gaze, her sister smiled and winked at him.

"Brother, haven't you ever thought about why I made the Holy Sword card?"

"What do you mean ..............."

Hearing his sister's inquiry, Rod was also stunned for a moment, and then he quickly reacted. Indeed, if it's just to create a holy sword enchantment, you don't need to use the form of a holy sword card to awaken at all. Because there are a lot of measures and equipment in the Dragon Soul Continent to protect the soul. The younger sister could have sealed them with physical equipment without having to bind their souls - because that would be too restrictive, and only by summoning swordsmen could they awaken these holy swords, not any other class. And now, when his sister suddenly said this to herself, Rod was also stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted.

"You mean......... Arousal. ”

"It's worthy of my brother."

Hearing Rod's answer, his sister smiled softly, and in the face of his sister's reaction, Rod also raised his eyebrows.

Awakening is a must-have class skill for every summoned swordsman. Most of the time, though, this skill is of little use. This awakening does not refer to the awakening of the summoned swordsman himself like a Super Saiyan, but the awakening of the cards. The cards that summon swordsmen are actually very similar to the cards in those krypton mobile games in the past, and when the card elves are upgraded to the full level, they can choose whether to awaken or not. If the awakening is successful, then the entire card will glow with a golden glow. And there will also be a few more patterns on the card surface, and then with the awakening, the appearance of the card elves will also change. But............ That's it, it's like spending money to change a hero skin, you won't be able to increase the hero's offensive and defensive range just because you change the skin. Therefore, for summoning swordsmen, the only meaning of the skill of awakening is to pretend in front of outsiders. After all, the card elves after awakening are still very gorgeous, regardless of whether the strength has improved, at least those gorgeous elves are enough to attract the attention of many people just by releasing them.

Of course. It's not surprising that the tree is a big move, and it's not surprising that it's often seconds in team battles.

Therefore, many mature summoning swordsmen, including Rhodes, will not choose to use the skill of awakening on their cards, because if the awakening is successful, it will certainly become extremely gorgeous. But if the awakening fails, the loyalty and attributes of the card will decline across the board, and the success rate of this skill seems to be random, in case the card you are good at using is due to failure and you have to practice it again, it will be too much to lose. So unless it's luck to get some flashiness. Card elves that can be used to pretend to be a skill that ordinary summoning swordsmen don't use. And now. Since his sister proposed it to herself, the only thing that Rhodes could think of was awakening.

However, this skill ...............

"Awakening is a bit flashy in the game, but in fact it's not that simple, the awakening skill was originally set ............up to let card elves and users get to know each other," he said. My sister raised her right hand and made a gesture. “……… Just like my brother, you and Karen, although you both know that you should cooperate better, but deep down you will subconsciously resist. You may not be aware of this subjectively, but it does exist. And the so-called awakening. It's to project your spirit into the subconscious of the card elves, and find a way to make them accept you. In this way, when you are successful, then these questions of value are not a problem. ”

"That's ............... so"

Hearing his sister's explanation, Rhodes nodded. He finally understood why the loyalty and stats of the card elves decreased after the failure of this skill in the game. Because the summoning swordsman has not been able to make his elves subconsciously accept him, then he will naturally refuse. And even if it succeeds, the summoned elves in the game are only a few jù after all, and it is impossible to have a heart-to-heart with the player or anything (of course, the investment in the virtual character must be in moderation). Therefore, when the table xiàn comes out, there will naturally be no other changes except for the elf changing into a gorgeous outfit.

But reality and games are different after all.

"So, in other words, I just need to use the awakening skill on Karen and then guò her subconscious. Will you be able to solve this tricky problem? ”

For Rod, this is good news, at least much better than two people getting to know each other as uncomfortably as they are on a blind date.

"That's true, but brother, I think you also realize that this is not so simple............ And ..............." The sister paused, then she looked at the crowd, and then smiled a little mysteriously. “……… And, brother, I want you to use Awakening on all of your Sword cards at the same time. ”

“………… Huh? ”

Hearing his sister's words, even Rhodes couldn't help but be stunned at the moment. But it soon became clear to him that it was a good idea. In fact, during the practice, Rod also found that not only Kalian, but also the cooperation between himself and the next few cards was not very tacit. It's just that their problems are within the scope of permission, but Kalian's problems directly affect the structure of the enchantment itself, so Rhodes specifically brought Karen up. And if you can let yourself through the subconscious of all the holy sword elves and make them accept themselves, then they can naturally achieve perfection.

Merely.........

"Will it take time?"

"The flow of time in the spiritual world is different from reality, brother, maybe you will feel very fast in the spiritual world, but time in the real world will flow very slowly. So even if you feel like you've been in the spirit world for a few years. In reality, it's just a moment. ”

"That's ............... so"

Hearing this, Rod couldn't help but nodded, and then he instinctively glanced at Lijie next to him. Sensing Rod's gaze, Lijie's complexion also turned red at once. Of course, she knew why Rhodes looked at her, although Lijie was not Rhodes' card elf, but if she had to say whose spirit world Rhodes had entered. Then it's just Lijie. That was a long time ago, when Lijie hadn't confessed to Rhodes yet, but deep down she was jealous of the intimacy between Rhodes and Anne. As a result, she fell into the path of the Chaos Heart Demon and sucked Anne and Rod into her spiritual world. She also fired a lot of fire at Anne and Rod -- Rod also collected two cards in her spiritual world, which was an unforgettable black history for Lijiena. So until now, Rod still can't use those two cards, otherwise Lijie will be ashamed to hang herself directly.

Of course, using Awakening on the Holy Sword card is not as simple as awakening the soul of the card elf in the first place, because it has to reflect the user's spirit into the subconscious of the elf. So in the process, Rhodes himself was defenseless. Therefore, this kind of thing naturally cannot be carried out in front of everyone. So in the end, Rod decided to do it in his bedroom at night, while his sister would watch over him to ensure that Rod's spirit would not be damaged and affected. Of course, this also requires the consent of all the other Holy Sword Elf cards, and if they themselves don't agree, then Rhodes won't even have the ability to enter their spiritual world, and they will be ejected directly. So for Rhodes. It's also important to ask for the opinions of the card elves. Luckily, it's clear to everyone that what's at stake. So I didn't complain much about this, but quickly nodded and agreed.

So, as night falls, the ritual of awakening is about to begin.

"I think you're mentally prepared, brother."

Looking at Rhodes lying on the bed and suspended in the air at the moment. Surrounded by the ten holy sword cards around him, his sister hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly. Hearing his sister's inquiry, Rhodes nodded.

"Well, I'm mentally prepared."

Under the narration of my sister. Rhodes also understood the whole process of awakening. The reason why my sister proposed to use the Awakening Skill on ten Holy Sword cards at the same time was not tight, but just to be on the safe side. What's more, because the spiritual world of these ten card elves is together, so by using Awakening on them at the same time, Rod can freely shuttle through the spiritual world of these ten card elves, without needing to clean them up one by one. Of course, in addition to this, the most important thing to note is that in the spiritual world, Rhodes will encounter more than one card elf spiritual projection, and these spiritual projections have no memory of Rod at all, that is, for them, Rod's storage zài is completely unfamiliar and does not save zài. It is only when Rhodes is fully acknowledged by these projections that their memories are linked to the external subject, thus recovering the part about Rhodes. And only after getting all these spiritual projections done, Rod can be regarded as officially recognized by the card elves and complete the entire process of card awakening.

"I hope you can remember, brother, that the mental projection is very likely to be completely different from the external personality, so it's best not to treat them with the usual eyes and attitudes. The spirit world is the home of the projection, and if you provoke them too much, there is a good chance that it will cause damage to your own spirit. So you have to pay attention to protect yourself, don't get hurt, and don't let others get hurt. ”

The younger sister didn't say much, but Rod knew what she meant. The spiritual world is a very fragile thing, whether it is your own spiritual projection or the spiritual projection of the card elves. If Rod's mental projection is hurt, then he himself will be hurt as well. But if the spirit world of the card elves is harmed, they will also have problems. In this case, any bit of instability is likely to turn into a guide and suffer irreparable damage.

Therefore, my sister's mention can be said to be rich and dangerous, if Rod can complete the test of the spiritual world perfectly, then it will naturally be better. But if something goes wrong with Rhodes, then no matter who the problem is, it is conceivable that the Holy Sword Enchantment will basically be completely out of play.

But Rod still agreed with his sister's suggestion because he had absolute confidence in himself.

"Let's get started."

After making sure he was fully prepared, Rhodes took a deep breath before turning to his sister and speaking. Hearing Rod's words, the younger sister just nodded, and then she walked to the side, only to see the girl stretch out her slender white fingers and volley at the holy sword card. With the sister's movements, soon, a bright light emerged from the holy sword card, and in the blink of an eye, all the ten holy sword cards around Rhodes were connected. Seeing this scene, Rod also restrained his expression, and then he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

Then, a dazzling magical light erupted around Rhodes, quickly forming a rotating summoning circle, enveloping all ten holy sword cards in it. Then, a dazzling light flashed.

The next moment, the whole room was calm again. (To be continued......)
