Chapter 72 Sealed World
In the next few days, Rhodes traveled frequently around Mole Town.

With the help of the craftsmen from the guild who came, they worked together to build the blast furnace.

The smelting work at the foot of the mountain is in full swing, and the work on the mountain is no exception.

At the mines, many pits that had been abandoned for a long time and were cluttered with rubble and debris were cleaned up.

Under the management of the newly established mining guild, the miners in the town have started working.

For a while, the mine was filled with the sound of pickaxes clanging.

With the support of iron ore output, the three military camps in the territory were also expanded.

In order to motivate soldiers to train more actively, Rhodes had the army hold a competition every week with generous rewards.

Strong soldiers with excellent performance were selected.

They will enter the First Guards Battalion and be trained as cavalry, with a total of fifty people.

The number of shield and spear soldiers in the Second Iron Wall Battalion also increased from two hundred to four hundred.

The number of longbowmen in the Third Divine Archery Battalion increased to one hundred, and the number of crossbowmen increased to four hundred.

After confirming that the arrangements were going in order, Rhodes did not rush back to Pingdingshan, but remained in Mole Town.

In a few days, he will need to go to the Dragon Breaking Fortress.

The round table meeting, which is held every three months, will be held at that time.

It just so happened that I was busy with the construction of various parts of the territory during this period and lacked external communication.

Rhodes also wanted to take this opportunity to learn about the specific situation of other pioneering knights.

Time comes to night.

He closed his eyes in the room.

Today is Monday, and as usual, I will enter the Northern Afterimage.

The soul sublimates to the Star Spirit Heaven, and after the familiar sense of chaos fades away, external resistance disappears.

Rod opened his eyes.

It is still Sanxue’s bedroom in the village.

But this time he was alone, and the three noisy sisters were not here.

Rod walked out of the room and saw the ash stove rat in the fireplace biting charcoal, with warm flames released from its tail.

This made him realize that Sanxue should have been there not long ago.

It seems that she didn't forget to feed the little guy when she went out.

This keeps the room warm when you arrive.

Thinking of the other person's shy and blushing face, Rhodes laughed and walked to the street.

After several previous contacts and Sanxue's explanations, the villagers have accepted his existence.

Normally, they would just stare curiously for a while and then leave.

But this time was different. Standing on the roadside, Rhodes was puzzled to find that the villagers were acting strangely.

These female villagers, armed with weapons, looked nervous and were walking quickly out of the village.

When she saw him, she just nodded, not looking at him curiously like before.

Rhodes looked around and found that this was not an isolated case.

At this time, he heard a loud thunder-like noise from the wall of the village, which seemed like the roar of some monster.

The snow on the roof trembled and fell, and Rhodes frowned and looked there.

After thinking for a moment, he followed the female villager and headed towards the source of the noise.

Follow along all the way until you reach behind the village wall.

Rhodes saw the figures of the three sisters.

At this moment, Sanxue was holding a broad-bladed battle axe that was taller than her, standing among a group of strange humanoid creatures.

White frost and coldness wrapped around the axe blade.

With each swing of her battle axe, the cold air turned into a huge fan-shaped shock wave, cutting the strange creature in front of her in half.

The separated upper and lower halves of the body were frozen by the cold air, and after hitting the ground, they shattered into countless ice crystals. What was that thing?
Rhodes stared at those strange creatures in confusion.

It has a human-shaped body, but its head is a canine with a long, protruding snout, and there is a pair of shriveled wings on its back.

The white skin adheres tightly to the bones, like a skeleton covered with skin, and no flesh and blood can be felt.

What really puzzled Rhodes was that he felt a kind of attraction from these monsters.

A powerful desire stemming from his blood seemed to urge him to move forward and devour these monsters.

"This is the Dragon Servant, a subordinate of the monster deep in the North." The dwarf blacksmith came to him and noticed the doubt in his eyes.

The dwarf blacksmith said in a bad mood, "This ghost thing makes me sick. It has only been a thousand years, why is the monster waking up again? No wonder the queen of the royal city wants to train the next princess."

Rhodes blinked, his doubts deepening.

At this time, an old woman with a hunched back, leaning on a cane and wearing a white robe with gold edges came over.

She stood in front of Rhodes and the dwarf blacksmith, looking at the monsters with cloudy eyes.

"The Dragon Servant is a servant of God, carrying the hatred and anger of that God for thousands of years after he was sealed."

"Now, the appearance of the Dragon Servant means that the seal is beginning to break. They will blow the first horn of the White Frost Doomsday, bringing an ice storm that freezes the earth."

The old woman coughed twice and looked at the dwarf blacksmith.

"How is the 'Ice and Snow Guardian' being built? It's time for the village's warriors to set out on the road to the Everwinter King's City to meet the newborn princess."

The dwarf blacksmith looked a little embarrassed, and quickly waved his hands and said, "It's almost done, give me another month, don't worry."

"The Dragon Servant has just appeared and is so weak. There is still plenty of time. The dwarves will only create the most perfect armor!"

Hearing her words, Rhodes next to her rolled his eyes.

Before this, he helped the dwarf blacksmith, and after many forgings, he successfully forged a set of armor.

It’s a pity that there are problems with temperature control, and the quality is only first-order excellence, not perfection.

Rhodes clearly remembered that the dwarf blacksmith was lying on a chair and drinking.

He was muttering to himself that he might as well just deliver the defective product.

Anyway, outsiders can’t tell the difference in quality at first glance.

Finally, under his contemptuous gaze, she smashed the failed product in shame and anger and started over.

After laughing, Rhodes thought about what the dwarf blacksmith and the old woman had said.

Dragon Servant, God's servant?

Considering the particularity of this spiritual world, Rhodes had a rough guess in his mind.

The truth about the remnant in the north.

This might be the sealed world that is recorded in the wizard’s manual, existing in the Star Spirit Heaven.

Because the bodies of some transcendent beings are so powerful, it is impossible to destroy their bodies in reality.

Thus, a seal for the soul was born.

Banish the soul of that transcendent being to the Star Spirit Heaven.

Then, using this powerful soul as the core, open up the spiritual world.

While sealing the soul, it also uses the powerful gravitational force it emits to maintain the existence of the spiritual world for a long time.

As long as the spiritual world is not broken, the soul cannot return.

The body that exists in reality will fall into eternal sleep, which is equivalent to death.

Those who are qualified to enjoy this kind of prison treatment must be at least demigod-level beings.

Rhodes looked at those dragon servants and felt a little numb.

It looks like there's something wrong with the seal here, and these dragon servants are the projection of the power of that being.

As the effect of the seal becomes weaker and weaker, the strength of these dragon servants will continue to increase.

The turmoil in the afterimage of the northern border will not affect me for the time being.

But if Rhodes guessed correctly, the body of that terrifying demigod might be somewhere deep in the North in reality.

The changes here are likely to affect the real northern border at the same time!
