  Chapter 1688 Messika's hesitation
   "Other demons can also see this sheepskin What's in the scroll?"

Seeing Merciga's concerned expression, Rhodes asked, raising the parchment in his hand.

Mexijia slowly replied: "According to the requirements of other demon kings, on the fifth day after the Vulcan Trial starts, the Magic Dock will disclose the results of the illusion of sin, for the winner to build a magic ship. Sailing on the lake of fire, the tenth day will lead to the ten gates of the Flame Seal city."

Rhodes once said that he remembered that no matter how much time passed in the trial fantasy, in reality Only one day has passed, and it seems that there is still some time before the results of the Magic Dock are announced.

According to the meaning of Messika, in a few days, the result of the phantom of sin will be known to all demons, and then, about Rhodes' name and his ranking in the phantom of sin, Can't hide it any longer.

Thinking of this, Rhodes frowned deeply and said, "I didn't use my real name in front of those demons, and they'll find out when the results of the Magic Dock are announced."

"The Magic Dock will detect the real names in the soul. Those ordinary demons don't need to hide their identities." Speaking of this, Messika covered her mouth and let out a teasing laugh. "Fortunately, you met me. These magic docks were built according to my orders. Although I did not have the result of changing the illusion with the magic cultivator, I still have the authority to change your name."

Rhodes gave her a deep look, something no other demon had ever received.

Taking the parchment from Rhodes, Mexica asked, "What name did you use in front of those demons?"

"Elliot." Rhodes answer.

Soon, Messika handed the parchment to Rhodes again, and she didn't know what she did. The first name had changed from "Rhodes" to "Elliot" .

"How did you do it?" Rhodes gave her a puzzled look. Under Rhodes' gaze, she didn't seem to do anything, but the name on the parchment changed.

"It's just a little witchcraft, not worth mentioning at all." Messika shrugged, said.

Rhodes is silent. This is not a sorcery that is not worth mentioning as Messika said. Her attainment in sorcery is far beyond Rhodes' imagination.

Taking a deep look at Messika, Rhodes asked, "Is this your real power? Putting it that way, the power you showed in Sao City, even your appearance, is all the same. It's your disguise. The greedy king in hell is the real you."

"I have never disguised anything. Divination and revelation are all my strengths. As for appearance, it's just It's just a form."

Mexijia waved her hand and said nonchalantly:
   "I'm very old. Do you remember the illusion you were in? In that era, I was the strongest witch at the time, and even participated in the battle to kill the Spiritual God. Now, I can't remember my age. Sometimes I wish those demons would recast the statues in the temple, maybe old to flesh and blood All dissipated, and only the appearance of a skeleton is left, which is more suitable for me now."

She showed a rare look of loss, and Rhodes also realized something.

Rhodes knew that for a powerful Great Demon like her, permanently changing his appearance was just a matter of sorcery. Even so, the previous Messika chose a skeleton. The appearance, maybe as she said, in her heart, that is the appearance she should have.

“I don’t think so,” Rhodes said, looking at Messika.

Recalling the statue of Messiah in the temple of hell, if Rhodes hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been able to connect the rebellious witch in the statue with the Messiah in front of him. stand up.

In appearance, Messika at this time is consistent with her statue, but there is something important missing from her body, a certain pursuit, or will, Rhodes can Feel that clearly.

From the statue belonging to Messika, Rhodes can faintly perceive what kind of person she used to be. Rhodes is very familiar with that kind of eyes, just like Rhodes herself, her body is similar to Rhodes. There is some similarity, they are the same kind of people.

Unfortunately, with the passing of countless years, Messika lost this will. Rhodes doesn't know what happened to her, maybe it's because of the ebbing of time, or something else happened to her, and now she doesn't have the arrogant imposing manner she once had.

"I don't know what happened to you, but I can feel that you're missing something, a kind of...will," Rhodes said. "The lack of will is terrifying, it will Makes people stagnant."

"I'm not a hero, and will has no special power for me." Messika, shook the head, said.

“You are the king of greed, you should desire everything in the world.” Rhodes retorted, “A vibrant body should also be what you desire, why are you willing to use a skeleton body? Do you really think you're too old? Not even those Lich's say that."

"That's just your understanding of greed."

"Your I'm still unwilling, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have appeared in front of me with the appearance you once looked like." Rhodes slowly said.

At this time, Messika's expression also changed, and the imposing manner was different from the cold and severe of the statue, but a little more weak.

"You don't know anything at all..." she said hesitantly.

“I like you better now.” Rhodes said with a smile, “Keep it like this, heroes can be heroes because they believe they can be heroes. You do too, stop Maintain the appearance of a skeleton, and show your true posture."

Mexijia stared at Rhodes in a daze, from Rhodes' words, she had an inexplicable feeling.

Rhodes stood up from the fire, looked towards the dark space all around, and then asked, "The illusion of sin is over, why am I still in this Dark Space?"

"I left you here," Mercija replied, "I think you might need some spell help, I can teach you."

Rhodes turned around immediately, his eyes dead Staring at Messika, he asked, "Can you still teach me spell in this state?"

"Of course." Messika nodded, "spell is just a kind of knowledge, even if only It's impossible for me to forget the spells that I cast hundreds of times with the remaining soul. It's just that you forgot those spells, which makes me a little weird."

Missika glanced at Rhodes with some doubts.
