Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 38 Please help me hide this matter
in the face of absolute power.

Everything you do is just temporarily delaying the countdown of your life.

Voda has forgotten where he saw this sentence.

But when the demon hidden in the black mist pounced on him.

Voda felt that the power he possessed was just a joke.

The tentacles gushing out of the manifested rune pattern outlined by the crooning syllables, in front of the black mist demon, were like paper paste, and were crushed into a puddle of black slime with a single slap.

"Is this the real absolute power?"

When facing the devil in the black mist, Voda realized how small he was.

Even its begging and begging for mercy in a low voice is like the chirping of ants.

The moment the giant mouth of the dark abyss that can swallow everything swallows itself,
Death comes.

boom!
Voda's bloated and ugly body was blown apart by the violent bullets, and was completely destroyed. The rotten, squirming, sticky body wanted to be reassembled again.

Bang bang bang!
Accompanied by a series of violent bullets pouring out.

Voda was completely swallowed by the black mist demon.

He didn't even have time to utter his last lie.

Ding!
A nameplate made of pure gold fell to the ground.

Rhodes picked up the nameplate.

The weird octopus head with closed eyes is inlaid in a gold-outlined eye pupil, and there are a lot of wriggling tentacles like life around the eye pupil.

It is almost the same as the pattern on the altar in the distance.

On the back of the nameplate, there is a character of 13 engraved.

When Rhodes' fingers stroked the number 13, an inexplicable traction attracted Rhodes at this moment, as if he wanted to guide his consciousness into a certain area.

Rhodes let go of his fingers and put the nameplate in his pocket. He was going to go back and study this thing before proceeding to the next step.

Rhodes hugged Margaret with both hands, and placed her next to the golden stone pillar.

Get the wormwood from the medicine cabinet.

After crushing them, Rhodes put them into the mouths of the three of them.

Rhodes sat cross-legged next to the stone pillar, recording the harvest this time in a notebook, while waiting for the three of them to wake up.

Margaret had a very strange dream.

In the dream, she was restrained by tentacles in an extremely shameful posture, and at the moment she was about to be killed, Rhodes appeared in his dream.

The man who had impressed her so much.

After Rhodes rescued her, he even hugged her in the posture of a princess and walked towards a field of flowers. Before Margaret could react, she had already put on her wedding dress before Margaret could react. With the blessing of friends, he and Rhodes entered the marriage hall.

The sky also turned gray in the next second.

When I looked up, in the distant sky, above the boundless sky, a deep sea appeared, covering the city.

The raging tsunami engulfed the entire city, and in the submerged city, vicious demons invaded and killed countless humans.

In the deep sea in the sky, a pair of deep scarlet pupils suddenly emerged, and the head of an octopus with its eyes closed in the blurred phantom appeared in front of it.

"ho"

The sound of inhalation suddenly sounded.

Margaret opened her eyes.

The shriveled lung lobes suddenly revived, and the cold and damp breath permeated the tip of the nose.

Sit up straight.

Margaret looked at Mr. Plague Doctor recorded beside her, and subconsciously said:

"Mr. Rhodes?"

"Miss Margaret, you found out."

Rhode lifted the beak mask, a bright smile appeared on his handsome face.

He had no intention of hiding anything. With the settlement of Voda, the detective adventure game has come to an end temporarily. It would be inconvenient for him to contact Margaret in the future as Rhodes.

But when the epidemic doctor and Rhodes become one, maybe she will need to use herself when dealing with certain things.

Rhodes doesn't feel ashamed of hugging a rich woman's thigh to make money.

Margaret looked at Mr. Rhode's smile, and suddenly remembered the situation when she married him in her dream, her pale face suddenly flushed.

Rhode watched Margaret's reaction, and he put his finger on his lips, making a silent gesture.

"Hush, please help me hide this matter, I don't want anyone else to know my identity except you."

Margaret's eyes flickered, and she nodded slightly.

She knew that this was a secret among friends.

"Mr. Rhodes, I didn't expect you to be Mr. Plague Doctor. I am amazed by your wisdom and ability."

"It's okay, it's just so-so."

"I remember, when my brother recommended you, it seems that my brother already knew your identity."

Margaret remembered the excited expression when her brother introduced Mr. Epidemic Doctor to herself, as if he was talking about a former self.

A man who is expected by his elder brother to help revive the Golden Lion family.

If it is Mr. Rhodes, it is not impossible.

"Haha, Yorkshire specially made this mask for me. He said it fits my identity very well. I think it is true."

"This mask can help me do things that my identity can't do."

"Mr. Rhodes, actually"

Margaret wanted to tell Rhodes something about the situation in her dream, but when the words came to her lips, she thought of the pair of scarlet eyes that appeared in the dream, and the deep sea above the sky.

She forced herself to hold back the words.

"what happened?"

Rhodes asked suspiciously.

"No, I just feel a little lucky. If it weren't for your timely arrival, things would probably have developed in a worse direction. I think my strength is too weak. I plan to go back and continue my studies in the academy. Seek help in strength."

Margaret hugged her legs, her head was on her knees, her long golden hair was scattered between her legs, and her eyes were a little disappointed.

Failure is not terrible, but it is likely to be fatal.

It is the greatest irresponsibility to oneself to place one's life and death on other people, not to mention that Margaret also shoulders the heavy responsibility of family revival.

Voda has a good saying, in the face of absolute power, everything is just stinky shit.

"This is the enhancement plan I customized for you. If you can persist, I believe that you can make great progress in terms of physical fitness. At the same time, my swordsmanship training method is also attached. I hope it can help you."

Rhodes will tear off the exercise plan he just listed in the notebook and hand it to Margaret.

Margaret looked curiously at the exercise plan in her hands with light blue eyes, and her dim eyes gradually brightened.

"Is it really possible?"

Rhodes chuckled, pulled out the rapier from his waist, and held it high.

He used the strongest strength when human beings reached the limit of 4 points of physical strength to promote the spread of steam power.

Above the rapier, scorching steam instantly spread out to a diameter of nearly half a meter, and the length even reached 2 meters.

Margaret's eyes were filled with shock.

If she had had this power at that time, she would not have been bound by those disgusting tentacles at all.

Margaret carefully padded the paper in her hand, put it away, and put it in her arms.

At the same time, take out the check book that you carry with you.

"This is a money order from the Golden Lion Bank for 100 million crowns. Mr. Rhodes, you can withdraw it at any time."

Rhode glanced at the checkbook in Margaret's hand, and said righteously: "We are friends, since we are friends, money or not, it's just a trivial matter, if you have time, you might as well invite me Let's have a meal."

"No, since it's a friend, you have to pay the money you agreed to. As for the meal, I'll invite you to Simpson's after the matter has been dealt with."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Looking at Margaret's sunny face, Rhode chuckled and put away the check, one step closer to the goal of the steam car.
