Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 45 It's Really a Pleasant Thing
Hot steam boiled beside him.

That weird bird beak mask connected with mechanical gears, and that dark windbreaker.

The man who appeared in the eyes of old Huofen was like a savior sent by heaven to save him as an old man.

But when Old Huofen saw those hands wearing black leather gloves, his eyes widened, and a strange thought popped into his mind.

This thought prompted Old Hoffen to deflect his thinking into an extremely distorted state.

As in Rhodes eyes at this moment.

The green and purple balls of light floating above Old Hoffen's head represented greed and lust.

The old man seemed very interested in himself.

Rhodes felt that he might have encountered a pervert.

This is not the first time he has met someone who would be interested in him.

This time it was even more outrageous, even though he was wearing a mask, could he still attract the interest of other old men?

"Oh, great master, I think this old man seems to have taken a fancy to me, he insulted the great Aesop under the great master, can I swallow him?"

Aesop transmitted his own thoughts through consciousness, and at the same time a green light ball of greed power floated into Rhodes' body.

"This old man is still useful. He seems to have been bitten by a ghoul. In order to prevent him from becoming a ghoul, I will use him to do some pharmacological tests."

Rhodes responded in consciousness.

In order to save Bravo's life and recover the 1 kroner medical expenses, Rhodes had to find a way to find something that could cure ghoul poison. The old man was a ready-made material, and Rhodes thought he would agree.

"His eyes offended Aesop, and this feeling made me feel that he wanted to do something strange to me that humans would do."

Aesop's consciousness muttered.

"By the way, his body is filled with the breath of death. This old man should have killed many people. Great master, in order to prevent him from escaping, I think you can let me watch him first!"

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

"No, this is just a small suggestion from your humble servant Isoti."

"Well, then do as you say."

"As ordered!"

Rhodes took off the black leather glove on his left hand.

Old Huofen, who had been staring at Rhodes' hand, suddenly widened his eyes at this moment, and the greedy expression in his eyes could not be restrained.

What a slender and vigorous hand!

It was even more beautiful than the lady's hand that he treasured.

Poor lady, who asked her to take off her black lace and tulle gloves when she attended the funeral of Sir's lover alone?

This forced Old Huofen to bury the two of them together.

Under the mask, Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

The old man's greedy gaze made him sick.

Fortunately, in the next second, in order to prevent the old Huffin from making Rhode feel more disgusted, Aesop directly spread a large number of black tentacles from the glove, and tied him to the tree under the fearful eyes of the old Huffin. The tentacles bound Old Hoffen's head like a snake, and his vision was plunged into darkness.

Rhodes ignored the old Hoffin's struggle. He absorbed the greedy power that Aesop had continuously contributed after he bound the old Hoffin, and looked directly at the four ghouls in front of him.

After his physique reached 10 points, he hadn't conducted actual combat verification yet.

These 4 ghouls can just help Rhodes to conduct some simple tests.

The first is speed.

Rhodes took a step forward with his left foot, his right foot touched the ground, his leg muscles twisted and swelled, and suddenly exerted force.

boom!
Several cracks suddenly opened on the original ground, and Rhode's body appeared beside a ghoul.

The speed increase is far more than double the limit of ordinary human body. At the same time, the upper limit of the leg muscles after exerting force has also been increased, which can achieve continuous force between movements.

Greatly increased the speed limit.

This is followed by a test of physical agility and coordination.

Among the ghouls, Rhodes didn't attack.

He stood calmly for 1 second.

The ghouls that reacted began to pounce on Rhodes.

Perhaps, due to the limitation of intelligence, this group of low-level ghouls does not seem to understand the principle of coordinated attacks.

They attacked Rhodes at the same time.

Rhodes supported a ghoul's head with both hands, with a little force, with the help of the opponent's head, he made a flip in the air. At the same time, when he was in the air, he stepped on the birch tree beside him, and the muscles of all parts of his body were coordinated. With strength, Rhodes moved sensitively among the 4 ghouls, avoiding their attacks.

The physical sensitivity and coordination perfectly match the strength after the physique reaches 10 points.

Rhodes jumped and jumped backwards.

The 4 ghouls finally collided like headless chickens.

Finally there is the strength test.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, what strength would the power possessed by a 10-point physique achieve?

Rhodes legs exerted strength, and his body quickly approached the two ghouls closest to him. He pinched the head of one of them with one hand, and fully used his hand muscles.

Click!

A crisp sound.

The ghoul's sunken face completely collapsed in the middle at this moment.

The brittle bones of its cheeks on both sides were completely broken by Rhodes.

The strength test has come to this point, because the ghoul itself can bear the upper limit, it can no longer continue.

Under the mask, Rhodes frowned, and the fragility of the ghoul's cheeks made Rhodes a little puzzled.

At this moment, he lost his intention to continue the test, and knocked these ghouls unconscious. Rhode gave Aesop an order.

"Aesop, tie them up and the two dead ghouls over there."

"Follow your orders."

Wrapped in old Hofn, Aesop squirmed excitedly to the stunned ghouls beside Rhodes, wrapping his tentacles around them.

A sense of happiness arises spontaneously at this moment.

Aesop felt so happy.

Accompanying the great master for the first time, it is possible to harvest so much rich soul power.

Rhodes once again harvested the power of greed provided by Aesop.

Sure enough, it is very effective to have a sinful power generating machine around.

"I remember that on the way here, I saw a hut when I passed the forest. That should be where the old man lives?"

"Aesop, let's go there."

Rhodes pointed to the dark forest ahead.

"Obey, great master!"

Aesop followed behind Rhodes, his sticky black tentacles dancing vigorously, as if expressing his joyful mood.

Old Huofen was completely numb at this moment.

He just wanted to see his long-dead old father who had tricked him into inheriting his career as a gravekeeper earlier.

In a dim room.

A kerosene lamp was placed on the table.

Under the angry eyes of Old Hoffen, Rhodes threw all his cherished and beloved hands into the garbage bag, just like throwing away garbage.

"So you are the 'hand fetish demon' that the newspaper said?"

"It's really a strange hobby. Apart from collecting hands, you actually cut out all the newspapers that printed your bounty. It's really a pleasant thing."

"Let me do the math. From 1578 to 1588 this year, the total amount of rewards related to you has reached nearly 10 crowns. It is really an unexpected harvest."

Rhodes collected all the old newspapers marked with his bounty that Old Hoffen cut out and put them into a sealed bag.

There is no time limit for this thing, and when he researches the serum that can cure ghoul toxins later, he can exchange Old Hoffin for a bounty.

"Okay, let's proceed to the next step of research. If this thing is successful, it can save your life."

Rhodes glanced at Old Hoffen who was tied to the chair, and pointed to the large syringe in his hand.

He turned his gaze back to the ghoul tied to the table.

In addition to extracting the ghoul's blood, Rhodes had to conduct anatomical research on the two dead low-level ghouls because of something he discovered when he crushed the ghoul's cheek.
