Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 104 The source of magic
The pouring rain was like a split prostate, watering old London.

Rhodes sat by the window, watching the heavy rain outside.

"Aesop, add more firewood."

Aesop, who was limp and lazily lying by the fireplace, raised his tentacles, rolled up some matches and threw them into the fireplace.

The original bleak fire became brighter after the addition of Xinchai.

Rhodes put the "Law of Ingeville" in his hand on the tea table aside, took a sip from the teacup.

He glanced at the two strong men in front of him, and said slowly:

"George, go back and inform everyone in the slaughterhouse that you can bring your family to live in the dormitory of the slaughterhouse from today onwards, and don't leave the slaughterhouse if there is no special matter.

Will, you take Ms. Angelina to prepare more food, and buy a batch of weapons from the black market by the way. You take the money and use it first. If it is not enough, I will find a way. "

Rhodes put a 100 million kroner and several checks of different values, a total of 200 million kroner on the table.

I left 13 crowns as a spare.

He originally wanted to keep the money to buy a car, but the situation seemed to be changing recently, so he decided to use the money to arm the remnants of the old era under his command.

Anyway, the gun was bought from the black market. Even if it is found, it will only be said to be for self-protection and will not be sanctioned by the law.

Moreover, the armed remnants of the old era are not just a group of simple thugs in the eyes of the old London government. I believe they will not make trouble at this juncture.

Rhodes glanced at the two big men standing in front of him again. Now the slaughterhouse's revenue has improved, and it is barely able to pay the workers' wages and daily food expenses.

But right now, when Rhodes heard the news about the deep sea, in order to avoid more accidents, he simply arranged and arranged the personnel in advance.

"Yes, little boss."

The two looked at each other, George took the money, and took Will away.

Neither of them said much.

Before Robert left, he had already greeted them in advance, and everything in the slaughterhouse was under Rhodes' orders.

Although they were curious about how the little boss got such a sum of money, he had also made efforts in various aspects recently.

In this case, the money left by Chief Robert that was supposed to be handed over to the little boss at a time of crisis can be saved for the time being for a rainy day, and can be handed over to the little boss when the crisis is over.

Before leaving, George glanced at Aesop who was sleeping by the fireplace again.

This tentacle demon gave him the feeling that it was very dangerous, and its strength should not be lower than that of a special type of advanced demon.

But the little boss was able to order this tentacle demon, which is very interesting.

Rhodes' growth is getting faster and faster.

George and Will looked at each other, and both saw a trace of relief in each other's eyes.

This means that their group of remnants of the old era based in the old London slaughterhouse will likely usher in a second powerful leader.

Watching the two leave.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes and pressed his temple.

Finished the placement of everyone in the slaughterhouse.

He also has to focus on dealing with the Dagon Church.

Originally, he didn't bother to help the Administration do things.

But who made him a man full of compassion?
And one of his patients was tied up by the group.

Rhodes didn't want to see ordinary people suffer.

Although he is ruthless enough to do things, at least there are principles in certain things.

Take the lives of ordinary people to summon the so-called gods in their mouths, in order to pray for benefits from the gods.

Only ignorant and arrogant and selfish fools would do it.

Rhodes glanced at the panel in sight.

[Name: Rhodes]

【Physique: 20】

【Spirit: 5】

【Perception: 2】

[Attribute point: 5]

[The Power of Sin: Unlocked (unlocked after the total attribute reaches 50)]

During this period of time, the attribute points have accumulated another 5 points. If it is added to the physique, it seems a bit out of date.

The current physical strength is enough for the time being, why not try to add it to the spirit, and see what kind of passivity you can bring to yourself after the spirit reaches 10 points.

Moreover, since the last time he came into contact with Mordiggian's Advent Body, Rhodes had a vague intuition that the role of mental power at certain times, compared to physical fitness, cannot be ignored, and even has important significance of.

The last time, if it wasn't for the black mist with the black mist demon to resist the spiritual attack from Mordiggian for him, perhaps his battle would have become much more difficult.

Thinking of this, Rhodes added all the accumulated attribute points to the spirit.

【Spirit: 10】

[Spirit reaches the primary peak, gaining passive: the source of primary magic power, and the growth rate of magic power increases by 10%]

magic?

This is a brand new noun.

He could vaguely feel that there seemed to be an extra thing in his body. Similarly, as this thing operated on its own, he seemed to be able to feel that some substance in the air was being continuously absorbed into his body.

Is this the source of magic power?

Rhodes had a vague guess in his mind.

Reminiscent of things related to magic that he had come into contact with in the past, what Rhodes could think of were Margaret's inheritance of the seven virtues, Plague Cindy's summoning water element, and Mordiggian's frost power.

By the way, maybe Xiuji's shapeless body transformation can also be regarded as an application of magic power?

Obey the principle of the law of conservation of energy.

None of these things can be conjured out of thin air, they need to be transformed through media.

Then the only thing that can be explained is that this thing called magic power is the transformation medium.

As for the magic power, the past self could not perceive it because of insufficient mental power.

Now that the mental power reaches the standard, you can feel this thing called magic power, and with the existence of the source of magic power, your body can automatically absorb the magic power in the air.

However, this magic power seems a bit vague, and there is no measurable standard in Rhodes' cognition.

In this regard, he can only study slowly.

At the moment, he is quite satisfied with the new gains brought about by the spirit reaching 10 points.

He was even vaguely looking forward to what kind of surprises he would be able to bring to him after his perception reached 10 points.

Of course, Rhodes didn't think about whether excessive perception would frighten him or not.

"Aesop, do you understand the existence of magic power?"

Feeling the substances that were continuously being guided into the body from the outside world, let's call them magical substances, Rhodes suddenly asked in a low voice.

Aesop lazily turned over, and the somewhat reddish tentacles that were scorched by the flames of the fireplace swayed.

"Great master, magic power is usually something that humans or demons with strong spiritual power can touch. Demons like me who can only control tentacles usually only have the means to defend against mental power attacks. The understanding of magic power is not enough. not much."

Aesop's answer also seemed a bit salty.

The corner of Rhode's mouth twitched, intending to insert an iron skewer on this thing, sprinkle some spices, and let it experience what an iron octopus is.

"Xiuji, do you know anything about magic power?"

Rhodes whispered a question to Xiuji who was still hanging on his waist as a pendant.

"Well, Xiuji doesn't know much about magic power either, because Xiuji's amorphous body transformation is a racial talent, spiritual talent is innate, and there are very few demons with spiritual talent."

"Ah."

Although he was a little disappointed, Xiuji's words gave him another understanding.

racial talent.

It seems that not every special type of demon can control magic power, and another type is only affected by racial talent.

And judging from its tone, there are not many creatures that can use magic power, and the number is even rare.

"Knock knock."

The knock on the door sounded at this moment.

At the same time, there was old Moore's voice full of respect.

"Mr. Rhodes, Old Moore has made arrangements, and we can set off."
