Chapter 1803 Ability and Contract
On the shore of the lake of fire in the distance, Rhodes is testing the ability of [Travel in the Sand].
Having obtained a new ability, especially an ability that is very helpful in subsequent battles, Rhodes took a little time to test all the effects of this ability so that he can use it better in the future.
After completing the fusion ceremony, [Journey to the Sand] replaced Rhodes' legs, allowing him to save a large part of the optimization steps for his current body.
In Rhode's original prediction, after completing the initial fusion, he would also fuse his legs with the magma first, and then fuse them to the bottom of the magic ship, so as to enhance the mobility of his current body.
The emergence of the trip to the sand allowed Rhodes to temporarily avoid this process, and he could leave it behind to obtain other demon corpses, and then optimize the existing body.
Rhodes, who has legendary navigation skills, knows that optimizing his current body is not an easy task. He needs a lot of demon flesh and blood to achieve the effect he wants, so there is no need to rush it.
The soul contract with Hell Beamon allowed Rhodes to gain a lot of control over his body, but it also prevented him from merging with the dead Hellhound. This is why Rhodes finally let go of the dog trainers in the shelter.
In the system log, there is only one description of the trip on the sand, that is, it can allow the magic ship to sail on land, but there is no specific description of this ability, such as the speed of sailing, and the restrictions of the terrain. De had to try it himself.
After driving around the shore and turning the surrounding area into sand, Rhodes also had a deeper understanding of the ability of [Sand Walk].
This is true of any ability. It is more impressive to try it yourself than to read the instructions in the system.
The sailing speed of the trip to the sand is controlled by Rhodes himself, and the maximum speed is equal to the speed attribute of the Rhodes character. In addition, when driving on the shore, it is impossible to obtain a speed increase by burning the soul furnace.
The burning of the soul furnace is unlimited. When sailing on the shore, burning the soul furnace can't bring Rhodes an increase in speed, but it can trigger the effect of another characteristic [Fallen Spirit], which restores the lost HP for the creatures on the magic ship.
While sailing on the shore, turning off the burning of the soul furnace can trigger other characteristics of the lazy believer's magic ship, bringing additional attribute improvements for Rhodes' battles on the shore.
With the increase in the number of characteristics in the Soul Forge, no matter how Rhodes uses the Soul Forge, it can bring him great help, especially when Rhodes merges with the Percy, it is equivalent to an essential improvement. No other magic ship, or even any demon participating in the trial, could do it.
After testing the ability of the sand trip,
Just as Rhodes was about to lead the people on the boat into the depths of the lake of fire, he suddenly saw a dog trainer running towards him.
This discovery undoubtedly made Rhodes realize something. He stopped his movements and looked towards the shelter in the distance, only to see Kerrett standing at the door of the shelter, also looking at himself.
Soon, the short dog trainer came to the bottom of the Pesci.
"Master Kerrett, I would like to invite you to the shelter to discuss some important matters."
The short dog trainer cried loudly to Rhodes with a mournful face.
Facing the monster that destroyed his cherished magic ship and also took away the ability of the magic ship, the dog trainer at this time could not say any provocative words at all.
Without the protection of the shelter, the dog trainer knows that he is in extreme danger. On the nearby shore, the bloody smell of those hellhound corpses reminded him deeply of what kind of battle took place here.
Under the siege of a large number of dog trainers and countless hellhounds, he couldn't stop the terrifying monster in front of him, and it was even more impossible to do it with his own strength.
After thinking through all this, he kept his posture very low, for fear of arousing the monster's anger. Unknowingly, he thought the monster was his master.
"Kerett? Why is he looking for me?" Rhodes glanced at him and asked casually.
In Rhodes' view, he has nothing to talk to with Kerrett. After signing the contract, he can't hurt Kerrett's hellhound, even the dog trainer in front of him, otherwise he will be punished by the lazy king. curse.
However, it was just a contract after all. If Rhodes risked the price of being cursed to destroy those dog trainers, even the power of the contract would not be able to stop him in any way. Unfortunately, killing those dog trainers The harvest is not enough for Rhodes to do so.
In addition, there are also some ways to bypass the restrictions of the contract. In the previous game, with the arrival of the third expansion pack, Rhodes had also seen many players who made contracts with demons, so he knew many ways to bypass the restrictions of the contract.
Take the present contract as an example, it only restricts Rhodes from directly harming those dog trainers, but does not restrict him from using indirect methods. Rhodes can completely destroy the ritual circle of the sanctuary, so that all the dog trainers here will die at the moment the trial ends.
There is only one reason why Rhodes didn't do this, and that is that the benefits of doing so are not high, and it takes a lot of time. If the benefits really moved Rhodes' heart, Rhodes would not hesitate about the contract.
The existence of the contract is originally something developed by the demons of hell in order to lure human beings to degenerate. A devil who is good at contracts can find possible loopholes in any item of the contract, thereby severely entrapping the human beings who signed the contract.
Once the person who signs the contract puts all his hopes in this contract, he will not be far from death.
Rhodes believes that Hela, who is also controlled by the devil's contract, must have tested the loopholes in the contract during this period of time, trying to get rid of Tiss' control.
It's a pity that only the plague messenger can use the power of the gluttony contract to control the group under him, and Rhodes himself can only control the plague messenger. It was not Rhodes who signed the contract with Hela, but Tiss, who was watching from the bow of the boat. She had no experience on how to maintain the contract, and she couldn't make any strong response to Hela's temptation.
"Master Kerrett is looking for you to discuss with you about the task assigned to us by the lazy king." Looking at the huge magic ship, the short dog trainer said fearfully.
Listening to the dog trainer's words, Rhode's complexion also became serious.
