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 create 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 make this weapon, and give them one year of their lifespan as payment. Wouldn't many people be willing to let me help them make weapons?" Rhodes asked.

"Of course, Lord Rhodes. If one possesses a weapon that can act on its own, it will definitely 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 afford 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 mutual agreement.

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; this kind of weapon is very useful for mages."

"It's 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 create 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 Homite 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 create 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 reaped a large amount of blood elf soul energy.

This is a very pure and peaceful soul energy, belonging to normal life forms, 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 make 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 we could create an arcane steel golem as a bodyguard?" Solarian asked 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 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, 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!
