the last king of darkness

Chapter 247 Very Ice, Very Cold

Rhodes was very depressed.

He originally thought of many wonderful tricks, not just Fury of the Void, but also many other means of self-destruction.

As long as the monsters can be gathered together, it can cause huge damage.

But during this time, he has tried it, monsters don't keep chasing you like mindless idiots, they are chaotic and crazy, follow various instincts, in general, monsters It won't chase very far, and some monsters won't even attack you actively.

It is very troublesome to gather monsters together.

And Memphis has this talent.

Her calamity curse can attract a lot of monsters, as if tending to some kind of hatred, the monsters will chase after her and cannot be easily thrown off.

She also has powerful freezing ability and superb crafting skills.

From this point of view, this is simply a super perfect partner, learning from each other's strengths to make up for weaknesses, filling in omissions, a perfect fit, without any omissions.

And Rhodes once promised her that he would change her fate, this is a man's promise.

Of course, silver hair and silver eyes are also one of Rhodes' hobbies.

Of course, what's more important is her posture of attracting monsters.

What kind of demons and ghosts are not obstacles at all, and Rhodes is also very clear that she is a person in essence, a person who is emotional, happy, angry, shy and moved, so what if she is ugly?

He sees a lot of beauties, both with and without clothes on. With the blessing of the four great sorcerers, a pig can be compared to a fairy, and a beautiful biluo can be called a princess. It's a bit delicate, why can't it be accepted?
However, when Rhodes just started thinking about the name of the first child, Mephis was taken back.

How can this make Rhodes not depressed?

Although he said he would come back, he was not at ease.

No, I have to write to Horus and His Excellency Dalin immediately.

Rhodes thought to himself.

After taking a look at human nature, there are only five 10,000+ left.

The kiss cost nearly 30 people in total.

Is this the amazing pollution caused by her own curse?

Also, why wouldn't she be swallowed by the void?And why do you suddenly want to commit suicide?How did the twelve curses on her get out of control, and how did they unravel?
There are still many similar doubts, and Rhodes decided to ask Memphis in detail in the letter.

With his great achievements so far, Horus or Your Excellency Dalin should not hide it.

Now, all that needs to be done is to occupy Fanxing Town as soon as possible.

The monsters in Fanxing Town were almost pulled into the void by Mephis. If humans don't occupy it, monsters will.

Rhodes rushed back to the dungeon.

When he announced the news, everyone was stunned.

Since the expedition with Lord Rhodes, they have been stunned many times.

But this time the stunned was far more than the previous stunned.

O'Hara couldn't help asking: "Master Rhodes, are you right? There are several times more monsters in the west of Fanxing Town than in the east. How could you kill them all at once?"

Conder also said: "This is unreasonable."

Beowuld frowned and said, "Brother Rhodes, it's not that I don't believe you, but this kind of thing can't be joked about. I shoulder the task of protecting all students, and I can't let them take risks."

Molly looked at him with a very strange look, and did not express her opinion.

Rhodes was a little disappointed: "Don't you believe me?"

Annabelle in the crowd suddenly raised her hand.

Rhodes said with a smile: "That's right, senior sister, I know the friendship that we live and die together..."

"No, no, I want to ask." Annabe's face was a little red, and she hesitated before saying, "Are you wearing underwear?"

As soon as the words fell, the audience roared with laughter.

Her good friend and deadly enemy Mina was rolling on the ground laughing.

"Oh, Annabelle, you want to know so much, why don't you just get under his feet and take a look?"

Rhodes also felt feverish on his face. He was naked every time he was revived. He was very anxious just now and ran out with only a robe on. He didn't expect to be seen by this girl.

"Shut up! Be quiet!"

The laughter in the team gradually stopped. During this period of time, Rhodes had established a certain prestige among them, and one victory after another made them completely ignore Rhodes' age.

Rhodes coughed, and continued: "I used the last soul ripple that Lord Theodore gave me. It created a void and sucked most of the monsters in Fanxing Town into it."

"Now Fanxing Town has become an empty town, we must occupy it as quickly as possible! This is an order!"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes, Commander!"

After moving Master Theodore out, everyone no longer had any doubts. To put it bluntly, their grandfather also grew up listening to Theodore's legendary stories. The magical Theodore is a concept that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. , and Wang Cheng has not released the news of Theodore's death.

Therefore, this is the most acceptable rhetoric for most people.

Finally, Rhodes added another sentence.

"Also, Annabelle, from now on, ask me such questions in private, not in public."

Amid the good-natured laughter, Molly quickly made all preparations, and the team drove towards Fanxing Town.

In addition to the fighters, [-] logistics personnel also followed behind, and they wanted to clean up the town thoroughly.

Like a long dragon of flames, the team came to Fanxing Town through the black mist that somehow faded.

The black mist in Fanxing Town was even lighter.

Everyone could even directly see the sky thousands of yards high and the houses and roads in the distance. It was the first time for many people to have such a novel experience, and they couldn't help but let out a voice of wonder.

It was also the first time for the Fire Guardian to leave the dungeon. He put the embers separated from the Guardian Fire in the square as their temporary base.

Molly divided the crowd into multiple teams, spread out in a circle, searched for and dealt with the remaining monsters in Fanxing Town, and protected the logistics personnel to clean up the town safely.

After the first round of searching, Fanxing Town was indeed empty, without any threat, and a few monsters were quickly killed by the soldiers.

Ecstasy spread throughout the team. No one expected that they would occupy Fanxing Town so quickly, truly taking the first step in opening up the human living space.

The second lap of the search begins soon.

This time very carefully, the soldiers will open the door of the house and search every corner of every building inside and out.

The logistics personnel will enter the building after confirming the safety, carefully clean up all the decayed objects, and bring back the valuable items to the researcher Mina for identification.

The square that was burning with embers was quickly filled with all kinds of antiquities.

They come from the Starry Kingdom 500 years ago. They have accumulated time and sealed the years. Even though they are decayed, you can still feel the residual warmth of history through them.

How did human beings more than 1000 years ago survive in this dark world?
What kind of brilliant civilization did they develop, and what kind of method did they come up with to fight against the darkness?How was it swallowed by darkness and disappeared in the long river of history.

These issues are of great concern to everyone, not just historians.

In such a dark world, the future is bleak, and the choice of survival is very difficult. One mistake may lead to the loss of countless lives.

The ruts of the predecessors may inspire them, allowing the surviving human beings to go further and avoid catastrophe.

Even a researcher like Mina, who is determined to pursue the truth, is used to finding answers from history.

It is also a very rare thing for a pioneering team like Rhodes not to be equipped with a special historical excavator, which shows that no one in Wangcheng is actually optimistic about them, thinking that they can regain Fanxing Town in a short time.

"Lord Commander."

In the depths of Starry Town, Rhodes is searching for buildings with the strongest members of the team.

Molly possessed him as usual.

"I have already sent a letter to Wangcheng asking them to send professional historians here. Fanxing Town is relatively well preserved, and many important histories can be unearthed, which is of great significance for us to understand the Third Era."

"Oh."

Rhodes didn't understand it very well. He was a fast learner after all. Even though he had been supplementing all kinds of knowledge and common sense, there was still a big gap.

History is one of them.

Molly continued: "Many schools will lean towards us because of this, especially the Kingworth school, and their influence is particularly large."

Rhodes listened quietly, Molly is simply a super all-rounder, very proficient in everything, an absolute super assistant, without her, the team would not be able to function at all, everything would be a mess, her role is second only to Memphis, in second place.

Even more commendable is that her loyalty is beyond doubt.

The only shortcoming is that she has a very big prejudice against Mephis, thinking that she is the scourge of human beings, and tried her best to prevent him from contacting Mephis.

Rhodes talked to her several times, but nothing changed. Instead, he revealed that Memphis was related to some disgraceful cases.

"It's really troublesome."

Rhodes thought.

"Use my expertise to make her change her mind in the future."

At this time, Beowuld suddenly heard shouting: "This is the fire protection sacrificial site in Fanxing Town."

Everyone stopped immediately.

Rhodes turned his head and looked, in front of him was a dusty square, which looked very old, and the surrounding buildings were very sparse, which seemed very empty.

In the middle of the square is a very large circular building.

O'Hara wondered: "This doesn't look like the Huo Huo Sacrificial Ground. It's located to the west, not in the middle of Fanxing Town."

Konder nodded: "That's right, the guardian fire is generally in the very center of the settlement. If it is not necessary, it is best not to adjust the projection range of the fire, which will consume additional power of the fire."

Hunter Awei found something different.

"The tradition of the Kingdom of Stars is to respect the queen. Only important buildings can have a queen's statue, you see."

Everyone followed her fingers to look.

Sure enough, the queen sitting on the throne was seen on the outer wall of the circular building.

She holds a staff in one hand, a sword in the other, wears a crown of stars and a robe of stars, her face is vague, but her expression is cold and inviolable.

Annabelle also noticed something unusual.

"Look, there are flame signs on the floor tiles under the building."

Molly said seriously: "It seems that there is nothing wrong. This is the Huo Huo Sacrificial Ground in Fanxing Town. Their Huo Huo used to burn here."

Rhodes asked curiously: "What will be left after the guardian fire is extinguished?"

"The seed of the guardian fire, and the embers of the fire."

"Can it be rekindled?"

"Yes, lighting a new guardian fire requires its kindling, embers, phlogiston, and firewood."

Hunter Awei interjected.

"Most of our current guardian fires are fire seeds obtained from the dark world."

Rhodes said happily: "Then we can just ignite the fire here? There is no need to move the guardian fire of the dungeon over."

Awei said regretfully: "It should be impossible. Wangcheng has a special way to find the fire seeds of the guardian fire. The surviving fire seeds within a range of two thousand miles have already been obtained by Wangcheng."

Molly glanced at her calmly: "Awei, you know a lot."

Awei smiled politely: "Thank you for your compliment, Sister Molly."

A wisp of Molly's mist flew to Rhode's ear, and said softly, "There's something wrong with her. This is upper-level knowledge, and most people don't know it."

Rhodes patted the fog and signaled her not to worry.

Captain O'Hara said with a smile: "You guys are so knowledgeable, we are all rough and wear-resistant guys, and we don't know much about these detailed things."

Konder said: "Even if the fire seed is not there, the Horcrux holding the guardian fire should be there. This is also a valuable item."

"Anyway, let's go in and take a look."

O'Hara strode up.

He has a body of pure steel, with extremely strong defense capabilities, and he has always taken the lead in dangerous things.

O'Hara pushed open the heavy door of the central building, the dust fell rustlingly, and the sound of stones rubbing against the ground could be heard far away.

The door was quickly pushed open, and everyone raised the lamp and shone inside.

This is a very large space, very quiet, the floor is covered with thick white ash, the terrain is sunken downwards, and there is a huge golden vessel in the center, covered by piles of white ash, it is almost impossible to see its original appearance.

"That should be a Horcrux."

O'Hara patted the ashes off her body.

"It doesn't look dangerous."

Annabel forgot the embarrassment before, and said joyfully, "There are so many ashes of fire, maybe the fire seeds are still buried inside? Let's go and have a look."

Rhodes looked around with the eyes of the soul, and there was no danger, so he stepped into the sacrificial field with everyone.

The thick white ash was knee-deep, and the only function of these ashes from the Guardian Fire was to serve as a base for the Guardian Fire to protect it.

They are not precious, unknown, but indispensable.

Rhodes came to the side of the golden vessel.

It was much larger than it looked, and more than half of it was buried in ashes.

Visually, it was at least ten yards wide and taller than a person.

Such a large guardian fire is not common.

Rhodes curiously blew away the ashes, and touched its edge lightly.

Very icy, very cold.

Suddenly, a gray shadow rushed out from the container, and a flash of lightning flew past, stabbing Rhodes in the chest.

Very icy, very cold.
