Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

“How amazing! If possible, Lord Rhodes, could you help me modify the three magic orbs on my body?” Kael'thas asked.

“No problem, but it will take ten years of your lifespan,” Rhodes said.

Chapter 162 Soul Weapon Experiment, Grand Astromancer Solanlian

“Lord Rhodes, my soul energy will gradually recover on its own in the future, so let’s use it for a hundred years!” Kael’thas said.

Rhodes's agreement to help him made Kael'thas very happy. These soul artifacts, which possess self-awareness and can unleash attacks, can greatly enhance one's own strength.

Ten years is a long lifespan for humans, but it is very short for elves, so he decided to use a hundred years to enhance his weapon.

Moreover, as a master of arcane arts, Kael'thas was not without ways to restore his soul power.

“Alright! Don’t resist, I’ll extract your soul.” Rhodes nodded.

They began to extract Kael'thas's lifespan, preparing to modify his magic orb, directly extracting one hundred years of Kael'thas's lifespan.

He then infused his hundred-year lifespan into the magic orb behind him, and also extracted some demonic soul energy, since these three orbs also possessed an aura of evil energy, so infusing them with some demonic soul energy was acceptable.

Instantly, the three orbs seemed to come alive and began to revolve around Kael'thas!

"It's finished! The quality of your three orbs is quite good. They contain fel energy, so I added some demonic soul energy to enhance their power. You're welcome," Rhodes asked.

He had already communicated with this Homie creation in private, and would not do so again unless he gave it a direct order.

Otherwise, if it obeys Kael'thas in all its actions, this Homie could become a surveillance object, constantly monitoring Prince Kael'thas for it.

In fact, if Rhodes wanted, he could give away all of the Homies’ creations to others, after all, Big Mom gave away quite a few to her children.

He even filled the entire Archipelago with Homies, but Rhodes always liked to have a backup plan.

“Thank you, Lord Rhodes. My magic orb, could you tell me what kind of power you possess?” Kael'thas thanked Rhodes first, then looked at the Homie creation behind him and asked.

"Master, in addition to my original ability to amplify your spells, I also possess the power to cast arcane and fel magic independently, and I can also assist you in casting spells, enhancing the power of your magic," the magic orb said.

Hearing this, Kael'thas nodded with great satisfaction. These three orbs greatly enhanced his combat power, even though he was just standing aside.

Without any command, the three orbs can cast fel spells and ordinary fire spells respectively.

However, in terms of power, it is still far inferior to Rhodes' Fel Staff. After all, Rhodes' weapon has reached the level of an artifact, and its materials contain soul energy, which are incomparable to his own orb.

"What an amazing ability! If Lord Rhodes only had a hundred years of lifespan, he could exchange it for such a powerful magical artifact."

"Then many blood elves would be willing to craft such soul weapons," Kael'thas said.

Upon hearing this, Rhode began to ponder. His current source of soul energy was partly the soul energy of the previously berserk werewolf, and partly the soul energy of the demon.

These two types of soul energy are extremely dangerous and ferocious, so they can only be created into weapons, and only Rhode can use them.

Kael'thas was able to use it this time because he was strong enough and also used his own soul energy.

His own warlock abilities allow him to capture the souls of demons, but Homies created from ordinary demon souls are still somewhat dangerous without his supervision.

Therefore, it would be even better if there were some soul energy from ordinary, normal life forms.

"Kael'thas! You said I would extract eleven years of the blood elves' lifespan, use ten years of their lifespan to create this weapon, and offer one year of their lifespan as payment. Wouldn't many people be willing to let me help them create weapons?" Rhodes asked.

"Of course, Lord Rhodes. If one possesses a weapon that can act on its own, it will certainly greatly enhance a professional's combat capabilities."

"For example, a mage could make their weapon cast spells automatically, or create a powerful steel golem that could move freely and become their personal bodyguard," Kael'thas said.

Isn't that right? A weapon that can move freely, obey commands, and assist in combat is like a second life for a professional!

Eleven years of lifespan is nothing to a blood elf, and the extracted soul energy can be restored with magical potions.

"Then can this be extended to other adventurers? As long as they give me some of their own soul energy, they can exchange it for Homie creations," Rhodes said.

The old lady's method was to have all the residents of the world voluntarily contribute their souls as protection fees, with each resident only needing to contribute two months' worth of their lifespan souls each year.

If I use this method, I will soon receive a large number of souls, and they will all be normal souls.

Creating several clones of the old lady that can collect souls isn't actually that difficult for Rhodes.

"Ordinary short-lived races might find it hard to accept, such as humans, orcs, goblins, and dwarves, who are only supposed to live for a hundred years."

Minotaur and dwarf might also be acceptable, given their lifespans of two or three hundred years.

However, Night Elves and Blood Elves should be able to afford this price, and even if you raise the price further, they will still be able to afford it.

"As for magical potions that can restore soul energy, they are quite expensive, and ordinary professionals can't even consider them," Kael'thas said.

"Hmm! Go and inform all your people that the demigod Rhodes has invented a brand new weapon called the Soul Weapon."

By modifying weapons, life can be gained; any weapon, even some defensive items and special objects, can be given life.

"Once transformed into a soul weapon, it will cooperate with them in battle. The price is eleven years' worth of soul energy," Rhode said.

Of course, if someone wants to live for a hundred or even two hundred years, that's not impossible, as long as you're willing. After all, it's a transaction, and it's a matter of mutual consent.

Ultimately, Rhodes decided to charge 1/10 of the soul as a reward for crafting soul weapons for people. This news quickly spread throughout Stormhold and the two floating cities.

Prince Kael'thas also personally demonstrated his talking, automatically casting soul weapon, three magic orbs, which attracted a large crowd of blood elves.

"It can cast spells automatically, which makes this weapon very useful for mages."

“It is also very useful for ordinary combat professionals. For example, the shield can automatically defend, and the weapon can be used to attack without being held in the hand.”

“The arcane golem can be modified, which would give the mage an extra bodyguard.”

A large group of blood elves began to discuss the future market value of this soul weapon.

"Eleven years of lifespan is such a cheap price. The demigod is truly generous."

"I don't care what you think, I've decided to make one of these soul weapons. At least it's like having another way to save my life."

"Me too, I want to make this kind of soul weapon too."

The Blood Elf race doesn't care about those eleven years of lifespan.

As a result, a large number of blood elves flocked to Rhodes, hoping to create soul weapons.

Rhodes was also very generous in creating a clone similar to the old lady who collects souls between the two floating cities.

This allows them to create Homie creations with a lifespan of up to twenty years.

A large number of blood elf mages, hunters, warriors, and rogues, armed with their staves, bows, shields, one-handed swords, one-handed hammers, and daggers, came to Rhodes for help in having the demigod craft Homie soul weapons.

In addition, some blood elf mages brought some iron golem creations and had Rhodes bring them to life, turning them into their personal bodyguards.

Eleven years of lifespan is nothing to the blood elves, and this weapon is essentially their clone.

After all, it was created from one's own soul, and it can provide unimaginable boosts during battle.

For the long-lived blood elves, the soul weapon that Rhodes created is a very worthwhile weapon.

In just a few days, hundreds of blood elves commissioned Rhodes to create soul weapons, and Rhodes also gained a large amount of blood elf soul energy.

This is a very pure and peaceful soul energy, belonging to a normal life form, unlike the ferocious, violent, evil, and chaotic souls of werewolves or demons.

Even the Archmage Solarian and Kael'thas's female Archmage lieutenant approached Rhodes, asking him to modify their staves.

Soul weapons seem to have become a popular item among blood elves lately, with almost all blood elves lining up to craft them. Right now, business is booming at Rhodes' two soul clones.

“Lord Rhodes! What do you think we should use? My staff? Or an ornament? Or perhaps a magical steel golem to act as a bodyguard?” Solarian looked at Rhodes.

"It's up to you. If you can afford the soul energy, you can have either one. I didn't say you could only make one weapon," Rhodes said with a smile.

“How about you give me a discount, Lord Rhodes? I can give you some extra compensation privately,” said the Archmage Solarian.

"We can both bite you together, or would you like to challenge a few female astromage?" The adjutant, the female astromage Caponia, pressed her delicate body against Rhodes's back.

“We can introduce you to her, and there’s also a female priest!” Solanlian revealed a charming smile.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ladies, I run a legitimate business, but you insist on making me run an illegitimate one!

Chapter 163 Void Holy Light Arcane Art, the Soul Energy of the Holy God

Just as the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly ambiguous, a soft cough and a knock came from the door.

Liadrin, dressed in paladin plate armor, looked at the scene in the room with a half-smile.

The three people in the room were in slightly different states. The two great astrologers were practically glued to Rhodes, and their hands were even touching Rhodes's private parts.

Did I interrupt your game?

“There’s no Liadrin at all. We’re discussing business with Lord Rhodes. We want to negotiate a price.” Solanlian looked at Liadrin with a strange smile.

"Yes, why don't you come over and negotiate with Lord Rhodes with us?" the astrologer adjutant on the other side said with a half-smile.

"Heh! Watch out, Sylvanas might come and give you both a banshee howl! Or rather, do you want that woman with the spiked club to come and cause you trouble?" Liadrin said.

Just these past few days, the Banshee Queen went to a gathering at the tribe; otherwise, she would have definitely given you two a good beating, you bunch of astrologers who practice magic. You're the craziest group of women in all of Silvermoon City.

"Tch! Don't spoil the fun! This is a demigod, you know. Don't you want to take on a demigod?"

"Why don't the three of us go together? You're probably here to find the demigod to make a soul weapon too, right?"

"Lord Rhodes! Can you really give me a discount on this?" Liadrin asked, almost as if possessed.

“Uh! Cough cough! If you insist, I’ll just take five years of your lifespan each, and I’ll give you a discount,” Rhodes said.

Damn! Three blood elf girls coming at once, anyone who refuses is a coward. As a real man, a true man, Rhode certainly couldn't refuse. He gritted his teeth and went for it.

"Hahaha! Liadrin, did you hear that? Hurry up and close the door! The demigod has agreed."

“Alright! It was just a joke, Lord Rhodes. Afterwards, the three of us will have no relationship, okay?” Liadrin turned around, closed the door, and locked it. She glanced at Rhodes and gave him a slight smile.

"Of course!"

"Then come on! Demigod, let us see the greatness of your demigod status."

"You want to experience the mystery of arcane magic first?"

"Or is it the heat of the holy light?"

"Or perhaps it's the darkness of the void?"

Three different lights shone from the three girls: arcane, shadow, and holy light.

Deep blue arcane radiance, dark purple shadow power, and golden holy light simultaneously shone within the room.

Three female elves, each radiating a different light, stood before Rhodes, displaying the energy they had cultivated.
