the last king of darkness

Chapter 224 The Starting Point
Immediately after the rating was over, the news reached the king's district.

An attendant reported the king and Horus in detail.

Wang sighed: "Unfortunately, little Rhodes is beyond my imagination, and my arrangement has failed."

Horus looked uncertain, and whispered: "King, Rhodes' ability is too strange... Can he really be trusted?"

Wang laughed and said, "Little Hehe, if you don't trust Theodore, or think that someone might forge Theodore's soul communication, then you don't have to trust him."

"No...no, Wang, of course I believe in Rhodes' character, but the ability displayed by his fire makes me very uneasy, just like Memphis back then, they may eventually lose control, their souls will be blackened, and they will go to hell. Crazy, becoming a terrifying monster, causing devastating losses to the royal city... This is not without precedent."

Wang moved his eyes, and his golden eyes, like burning flames, looked at his closest comrade-in-arms.

"Little Hehe, you've been a little proud recently."

Horus asked in confusion, "My lord, why do you say that?"

"Do you think you have surpassed Theodore in the study of the soul?"

Horus was taken aback: "Of course not. The nature of magic is the property closest to the origin of the world. His Excellency Theodore's knowledge of the soul and the source surpasses all of us. I have no trust in him." reserved."

Wang smiled and said: "If you believe in this human legend without reservation, you should believe in Rhodes without reservation. If we don't believe in him, then don't use him in the first place, do you understand?"

Horus bowed his head.

"Yes, Wang, I understand. I'm going to investigate this battle rating. Anyone who dares to tamper with the rating must be severely punished."

Wang turned around and looked up at the holy flame reaching the sky. The surging golden light presented an unnatural distortion.

"Go, Xiao Hehe, but don't have too much hope, they won't leave anything behind."

Horus gritted his teeth and said, "One day, I will completely eradicate these maggots."

Although he couldn't see the king's face, Horus felt that the king must have smiled.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before I no longer need to use their power."

The king walked towards the holy fire, and the golden light ignited on his body, which reflected each other with the holy fire and gradually merged into one.

Before leaving, Horus looked back at the holy fire sacrificial field for the last time.

In the huge space, except for the burning holy fire, there was no trace of the king.

-

Uptown.

Leville Mansion.

The three justices left the Sealand military base immediately and returned to their mansion.

"What the hell is going on with that brat?"

"How could there be such a person?"

"Is it Theodore's remnant soul?"

Kramer interrupted their senseless disbelief.

"Have the traces been dealt with cleanly? We must not be traced. The position of the chief justice cannot protect us."

Leville said: "Don't worry, I've dealt with it cleanly, even if the archbishop came to investigate in person, he wouldn't be able to find us."

The expressions of the three of them improved a little.

Amory sighed: "Everyone, be careful, the king's laws are strict now, and our 600-year-old lineage cannot be broken in this generation."

"Yes." Levill also sighed, "The king always threatens us with destruction. Trorian has been passed down for more than 1000 years. When was it destroyed?"

"Without our little money, the royal city will be destroyed?"

"I really hope Lord Jon will inherit the throne soon."

"Stop complaining."

Karama interrupted: "Hurry up and contact Lord Manolobana and Lord Talinas, and think about what to do next."

-

Sauron immediately broke into the basement of the No. [-] training ground, but only saw crystal shards all over the floor.

"Smelly shit!"

"Run so fast!"

"Fuck, at least those four guys can't escape."

-

The seventh training ground was quickly surrounded by a large number of teaching staff and adjudicators.

With the help of Sauron, the four rating committee members were also arrested.

But Horus quickly found out that they had just accepted some bribes and did not go offline.

The bribers demanded that they give as low a score as possible, "to close one eye in the rating."

If Rhodes does not pass, each of them will also receive a reward of [-] silver ropes.

And the briber was just the owner of a bakery whose body was found in the sewer.

Obviously, he was being used, and the clue has been broken here.

Horus knew that this was the only way to find out, and there was no other way except to impose a huge fine and imprison the four rating committee members.

And all this, Rhodes didn't know.

After he was left alone for a while, he was suddenly surrounded by a large group of clerics, who enthusiastically took him to the cathedral of the Holy Church.

Under the lofty zenith, amidst the melodious bells, surrounded by countless flame drawings, Rhodes and sixteen newcomers completed the oath ceremony together, officially becoming a fifth-level combatant.

Subsequently, the military personnel of the War Department awarded them the fifth-level gold leaf medal and the fifth-level battle robe.

Announced to them new treatment, a weekly salary of 2800 silver cables, corresponding distribution of materials, higher authority, and corresponding responsibilities and obligations.

It's worth mentioning that these are the base perks, and there will be additional salary perks if they serve in any regiment or region.

Before Rhodes had time to be happy, he was brought to the Supreme Council by several bishops.

Under the witness of many elders and bishops, according to the original agreement, he was awarded the position of Hand of the King and officially became a member of the King's Guard.

He also obtained a very majestic golden red robe, a badge in the shape of a giant sword, and an additional weekly salary of 5000 silver cables, as well as higher authority, and more responsibilities and obligations.

Before Rhodes recovered, he was brought to the Supreme War Department.

In a gorgeous room, the first defense chief Lin personally conferred the post of third-level commander.

Another cyan commander's robe, a commander's medal, and an additional 1000 silver cable weekly salary.

Afterwards, he was immediately taken to the Wangcheng Government Affairs Office.

Beneath the main hall, the position of defender was bestowed by the chief consul Tarynus himself.

Guardians belong to the regional system, and the highest level is the guardian, responsible for guarding a place.

Defenders have the qualifications to guard a city and a town.

Tallinus told him that these were all in recognition of his immortal feats for Trorian, praising him for saving countless people and recovering incalculable losses for Trorian.

He received another robe, a badge, and an additional weekly salary of 1500 silver cords.

Before Rhodes recovered from this series of dazzling rewards, Archbishop Horus found him again.

He told him that the king was waiting for him and that the holy fire project was about to be officially launched.

Just like that, Rhodes came to the holy fire sacrificial field holding four robes, four badges, and a weekly salary of up to 10300 silver cables.
