Chapter 1764 Marking of Nautical Charts

"call……"

Returning to his own magic ship, Rhodes took a deep breath.

Although the incarnation of the king has left, the power belonging to the Flame King still remains in Rhodes' mind, and it has not dissipated for a long time.

The suppressed Hell Behemoth didn't dare to resist at all just by the aura of the incarnation of the king, and he couldn't even produce the slightest anger. If the king's body appeared in front of Hell Behemoth, Rhodes was afraid that it would surrender on the spot.

Thinking of the fifth-level magic cast on him by the Flame King before he left, Rhodes couldn't help feeling a sense of urgency.

"[Fire of Sin Karma]: Tier 5 fire magic. Mana consumption is unknown. Effect is unknown."

In the system log, under Rhodes' character attributes, there is an icon that will be ignored if you don't look carefully. Apart from this, there is no other prompt.

Unable to rely on the system's prompts to obtain the effect of this magic, Rhodes couldn't help but become more serious in addition to being secretly surprised.

There is no hint in the system, which means that Rhodes cannot rely on the power from the system to find out the flaws in this magic.

According to the incarnation of the king, as long as Rhodes did not complete the task, the flames that had disappeared before would reappear and burn Rhodes' body to ashes.

Even if Rhodes completed the task of destroying the shelter according to what the king's incarnation said, he still couldn't leave the shelter. Once out of the sanctuary, the fire of guilt reappears.

What remained in the sanctuary, waiting for Rhodes, was only the Vulcan Statue activated, and together with all the other demons, it became a sacrifice for the birth of the "beast".

The Flame King didn't give Rhodes too many choices. The only options left for Rhodes were to die now or die after completing the mission. Rhodes, who doesn't want to die now, will definitely choose the latter.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Rhodes seems to have gotten into trouble, and even disrupted his trajectory during the trial, so he had to go to the shelter mentioned by the Flame King first, and then try to solve the current problem. dilemma.

In the past, Rhodes, relying on the power of the great demon's blood, was not afraid of all fire magic, and even magic such as the fire of crime could not take effect on him. Until now, Rhodes felt the horror of the Flame King.

"Master Ailot, are you alright?"

Just as Rhodes was thinking, Tess's words suddenly came from his ear.

After returning to the magic ship,

With Hela's support, Tiss immediately came to Rhodes' side, and asked him with concern.

Seeing the fiery figure that appeared in the sky before, Tiss felt the terrifying power from that figure, and what she was most worried about was naturally Rhodes in front of her.

"Of course I'm fine. It's the Magogs who are in trouble. Hero Tiss, don't worry about me." Rhodes calmly patted Tiss on the shoulder and replied.

Hearing Rhode's answer, Tiss lowered her head slightly, and her tense heart relaxed a little.

Hela on the side didn't change her attitude because of Rhodes' words, she asked a little seriously: "Elot, I feel the breath of the king of hell, if I read correctly, it should come from jealousy king……"

"That's just an incarnation of her, not her real body." Rhodes glanced at her and replied.

"I saw that she cast some kind of magic on you. It comes from the fire magic of the jealous king. It's not a joke." Hela said with some vigilance, "It is said that the jealous king is the flame of the original birth. The flames enveloped far surpass all fire magic in the world."

Following Hela's words, Tiss's heart that had been let go was raised again. She looked at Rhodes with worry, and her body couldn't help getting closer to Rhodes.

Sensing Tiss' concern, Rhodes replied with some helplessness: "She wants me to complete a task. We have to change our course and give priority to the nearest Shelter No. 52."

"What does she want you to do?" Hela immediately asked after hearing what Rhodes said. She really wanted to know why the jealous king planned to let Rhodes go to an ordinary sanctuary.

"You will understand when the time comes." Rhodes gave her a cold look, and replied in a deep voice.

Unlike Tiss who is easy to fool, Hela is undoubtedly more knowledgeable and can find more problems from Rhodes' words, but Rhodes doesn't want to say anything more to her.

It was Tiss' question that made Rhodes more concerned.

"Master Ellot, how should we get to Shelter No. 52?" Tiss asked Rhodes with some concern.

"Don't worry, I got the nautical chart given to him by the Flame King from the fire elf, and it is not difficult to go to the No. 52 shelter."

While answering the doubts in Tiss's heart, Rhodes took out the two parchment scrolls that the fire elf took out before his death.

Open one of them, and the drawing on the parchment is exactly the nautical chart that Rhodes needs.

There wasn't much information marked on the nautical chart. Except for a small piece of terrain along the nearby Lake of Fire, there were only a few shelter locations, including the goal of Rhodes' trip, Shelter No. 52.

Looking at this nautical chart, Rhode fell into deep thought.

If it was another demon, after getting this nautical chart, they might frown deeply, and then turn the nautical chart up and down a few times, unable to understand the content at all.

Different from the map that everyone can understand, the nautical map is more complicated whether it is the topographical labeling or the overall proportion structure, not to mention that the nautical map in Rhodes' hand also has a map from that name. The various marks made by the fire elves made the overall nautical chart look even more messy.

From these marks, what Rhodes could understand was that it was a zigzag route, but the overall direction remained the same, and it was directly facing the route of No. 52 Shelter.

At the end of the route, there was an obvious deflection, as if they were avoiding something, but this time, the fire elves were unable to restore the route.

The fire elf wanted to confirm his position on the lake of fire, and the route marked by him undoubtedly explained this to Rhodes.

"Unfortunately..." Looking at the route on the map, Rhodes shook his head and commented in a low voice.

"What a pity?" Tiss heard Rhode's comment, she looked at the nautical chart that Rhodes spread out, and her eyes were deeply puzzled, "Lord Elliott, I can't understand it at all. The content... I must have let you down..."

Sensing the frustration in Tess's words, Rhodes thought for a while, and stretched out five hands at the same time, the longest two of which gently embraced Tess, picked her up, and slowly put her into Hell Beamon On the top of his head, the other two hands pinched the sides of the nautical chart and placed it in front of Tiss, and the last hand stretched out a finger, and clicked on the blank part of the nautical chart.

"Don't be discouraged, Tiss the hero, you need professional knowledge to understand the nautical chart. It's normal that ordinary demons can't understand the meaning of the nautical chart." Rhode comforted him.

After hearing Rhodes' comfort, Tiss's expression also relaxed, and she asked softly: "Then can you understand these? Lord Ellot..."

"Of course I can understand it. I have mastered the top-level navigation skills." Rhodes replied confidently.

As Rhodes said, with the blessing of the magic ship's characteristic [Boundless Divine Power (false)], his special skill of navigation has already reached the legendary level.

This level of navigation allows Rhodes to do things that other demons cannot do. As long as it is related to navigation, nothing can hinder Rhodes at this time.

In addition to the god-level special skills, the legendary-level special skills have reached the pinnacle of this world. Rhodes is skeptical about the existence of god-level navigation. In Rhodes' view, there is no further room for legendary-level navigation.

"Look here. Although there is no mark on the nautical chart, the location I am pointing to is the magic dock where we set off."

Pointing to a certain point on the nautical chart at the junction of the shore and the lake of fire, Rhodes explained to Tiss.

Listening to Rhodes' explanation, Tiss nodded first, and then showed surprise in her eyes: "Master Ellot, how do you know this?"

"Through the scale of the nautical chart, and my feelings." Rhodes replied, while slowly moving his fingers, across the coast around the magic dock.

"We stayed in this magic dock for a long time, didn't we? No matter which side of the magic dock is along the coast, we have been there several times. Just the surrounding terrain and the proportion of the distance are enough to let I confirm all of this."

Tiss listened carefully to Rhode's narration, nodded from time to time, and showed an affirmative expression.

"And here." Rhode's finger stopped and landed on the road on the right side of the Magic Dock, "Do you still remember that when we bid farewell to those fallen and returned to the Magic Dock, I asked You ran all the way to keep up with me, just to make you feel tired, so that you can better use your heroic strengths, and pass this tiredness to our enemies?"

"Lord Ellot..." Hearing what Rhodes said, Tiss couldn't help but raised her head, and glanced at the dark yellow monster lightly, with a bit of resentment in her eyes.

Rhodes didn't notice Tiss's reaction. His attention was completely attracted by other things, and his face became serious.

Rhodes originally thought that Tiss's heroic specialty could be effective against any demon, but unfortunately, judging from the reaction of the Flame King's incarnation, the situation seemed not that simple.

Creatures that don't have a real shape will not be affected by Tiss' hero specialties, and Rhodes has deeply remembered this.

In a sense, those elemental creatures do not have a real shape, and they may not be limited by the specialties of the hero Tiss. For this point, Rhodes has to make further attempts.

Seeing that Rhodes was silent while thinking, Tiss pursed her lips, and then asked, "Master Ellot, why did you say it was a pity just now?"

Noticing Tiss' doubts, Rhodes thought for a while, and asked her: "See that black line that is obviously different from other marks in the nautical chart?"

Following Rhodes' words, Tiss' eyes couldn't help but focus on the black line on the nautical chart.

The black line is very easy to identify, and it is obviously different from other marks on the nautical chart, as if it was burned little by little on this not-so-precise nautical chart with flames.

Thinking back to the fire elves before, Rhodes can probably guess how he made those own marks on the nautical chart. For the fire elves, they don't need to use any tools to leave a mark on the nautical chart, they only need to ignite the flame slightly, and then control the trajectory of the flame.

"I saw it, Lord Elliott." After finding where the black line was, Tiss explained softly to Rhodes.

"This black line represents the location where the fire elf sailed all the way through. The tortuous changes in the sailing path represent the situation where they had to change their course."

Looking at the zigzag route, which had been bent countless times, Rhode's complexion became slightly dignified.

"If it is said that the purpose of those fire spirits changing course is to avoid the powerful enemies they will encounter, then the enemies he encountered along the way are too many, especially on the route to No. 54 Shelter superior……"

Unlike Tiss, who looked at the dark route and felt very puzzled, Rhodes could see more problems from every change of the route of the fire elves.

On the nautical chart, a total of five shelters are marked according to their serial numbers. From Shelter No. 50 to Shelter No. 54, they are all clearly marked on the nautical chart.

Among them, what Rhodes cares most about is naturally the location of No. 54 Shelter.

Judging from the deflected trajectory of the fire elf's route, it seems that there are a large number of magic ships sailing towards Shelter No. 54. Every time the fire elves encounter such a magic ship, they have to temporarily deviate from the sailing track. Wait until the ship is far away before resuming course.

After listening to Rhodes' explanation, Tess also understood many things, but there was one more thing that she couldn't understand.

"I understand the meaning of this black line, but Lord Elliott, why do you say it's a pity?" Tiss glanced at Rhodes and asked a little puzzled.

Rhodes didn't feel the slightest impatient because of Tess' inquiry, he patiently answered Tess' doubts: "Although the fire elf has been working hard to correct the course, he doesn't know what to do on this nautical chart. So many signs, but he's still wrong about where he is now."

Rhodes reached out and pointed to the end of the black line.

"If the last deflection of the course represents the encounter between the fire elves and us, then the end of this black line symbolizes our current position."

Tiss nodded, but Rhodes continued to say: "This is a pity. Our position is not at the end of the black line, but a place further to the left from here. What he tried to make These signs mean nothing at all to me."

Looking at the nautical chart on the parchment, Rhodes also made his own evaluation.
