the last king of darkness

Chapter 29 Bloom
Darkness grows outside the light, shadows flutter and sway, and in some remote corners, the falling black mist can be clearly seen.

In such an environment, people always have an inexplicable sense of fear and depression.

Maybe that's why they need to tell some nasty jokes on patrol.

However, although they looked very wretched, their eyes were clear, and their tense muscles also indicated that they were vigilant, at least half of their attention was on the surrounding environment.

"Rhode, do you think birth is a kind of injury?"

After talking about the crystal ball, they started talking about other topics, as if they were old friends.

Rhodes was stunned: "Isn't birth a blessing of fire?"

Raistlin laughed, "You are a bit like a bishop. They like to attribute everything to fire and blessing."

Iger imitated a serious tone: "May the flame purify my mind, and may justice gather like moths because of your light. The source of threat lies ahead. For the king's city, for the holy fire, soldiers! Go!"

All three laughed, only Rhodes didn't laugh.

Raistlin patted Rhodes on the shoulder: "Let's stop doing ideological education now, and just talk about our own feelings. Do you think birth is a kind of harm?"

"Isn't it?"

"I wasn't born without me, wouldn't I not be able to see anything?"

Raistlin smiled and said, "You guys are considered good. You have ignited your souls to become fire bearers, but what if you didn't ignite? You were eliminated in the first round of the trial of fire?"

Everyone fell silent.

Raistlin continued:
"Then we have to go back to living in the dark? Living in the outer city, I can't afford a big magic lamp, I can't afford good phlogiston, the dim light in the house flutters like a candle in the wind, and I worry about phlogiston every night Not enough for the lamp to go out, worrying about ghosts invading your home, worrying about inexplicable infection or curse, you work in the factory day after day, or make some small things with handicrafts for sale, and you can only take a walk in the street on the fire day, but You are reluctant to buy everything in the market, and no girls are interested in you. It has been delayed until you are thirty, and you have no wife. The neighbors around you have moved to the upper city, live in big houses, and light big magic lamps Yes, the children of one family lit eighteen fires, and they all became guardians, and you are still working in the lower city."

"At that time, would you feel that birth was a kind of harm? Would you resent your parents for giving birth to you without your consent?"

Everyone imagined such a hopeless day, and their faces dimmed.

"Think about it, if it's such a miserable life, why did I have to be born? Why did I come into this world? Why do I have to live this meaningless life in fear? Why do my parents have a house in the uptown How dare you give birth to me if you don’t have any? Others have powerful souls and superb spiritual vision, but I’m just an incombustible waste, a core of stone and wood without spiritual vision, what face do you have to give birth to me?”

Raistlin paused slightly and continued.

"Even if the fire of the soul is ignited, how good is it? When we leave the academy and leave the royal city, we will find that the outside world is so cruel. We will always face monsters that are much stronger than ourselves, and we will always worry about the black mist. Erosion and infection, medical supplies and aid are never enough, the light of the fire is only enough to illuminate your feet, looking up, there are endless layers of darkness, you fight day after day, fighting with countless monsters, There will never be an end in sight, and there is no hope. Your teammates will die one by one, or mutate, or go crazy. monsters in the dark."

"Do you think this kind of life is good?"

There was a deathly silence in the team, as if not even breathing had disappeared.

But Raistlin was still smiling, but there was something strange in his tone.

"No, I don't think so."

"Birth is a blessing, as dark as this world is, there is still a fire to light, as miserable as I am, there is room to dream, as beautiful as this world is, there is always something to bloom for me, and if not, I bloom for myself and celebrate my birth."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, even stopping their pace.

Suddenly, Caramon cried out: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,. I've never heard such powerful words. I don't care about Donna any more. I want a new life!"

Aiger praised: "Your level, should you consider changing careers, maybe you can become a bishop."

Raistlin smiled and said, "Come on, I can't stand the life of the church, I'm just talking about my feelings, you know, I was rejected in the first round of the Trial of Fire for three consecutive years from the age of sixteen to nineteen, 19 It was the last year, and I was able to pass. Before that, I was confused and confused, but I finally came out."

"Maybe it's really the blessing of fire. When I accepted all of this, I passed it instead."

Everyone applauded, and Iger whistled: "You deserve to be our power forward!"

Maybe this topic was not happy enough, it ended soon, and everyone started talking about some light topics, such as the top ten beauties in Wangcheng.

However, their level is relatively low, and they are all big, tolerant, long-legged, and very vulgar when they chat.

Rhodes couldn't listen anymore, so he slightly changed Fengyue Baojian and told it as a joke.

Thanks to the hard study during this period and his superb language talent, he can already use the common language relatively fluently. The words are so sophisticated and precise, and the artistic conception is so full that everyone who listens falls into it all at once.

When talking about the climax, Rhodes thoughtfully inserted a "next time decomposition" to deepen their bond so that he could continue to hug his thigh next time.

Caramon suddenly wailed: "There is nothing below? Are you human here?"

The other two also stared at him, and Rhodes hurriedly explained: "I really can't make it up anymore, my inspiration is limited, my inspiration is limited."

Everyone let him go, and Iger asked: "Then what should we talk about? The secret that the king and his lovers must tell?"

Rhodes was startled, and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the internal affairs ruling when you talk about this?"

All three laughed.

"How is it possible? The king himself said it was possible."

"It doesn't matter if the lover is a man."

"Why do you have such a strange idea? Wang Zhixin's law has been implemented for more than ten years."

Rhode quickly explained: "I have amnesia, and I don't remember many things."

Everyone was very surprised: "You really lost your memory?"

Rhodes nodded, and briefly explained the matter, but did not mention the specific circumstances, only saying that he was attacked by a monster.

"So, I actually don't understand anything, I'm really a newcomer."

Raistlin pondered: "Then why are you assigned to us?"

Iger guessed: "Maybe it's complementary, the three of us have very low spiritual vision, and we just need a scout."

"Makes sense!"

Rhode just didn't want to talk about those vulgar jokes anymore, so he hurriedly said, "You can tell me about the tactical position and what I should do, so that I won't be dragged back for a while."

This suggestion was unanimously agreed by the three people. Being a good teacher is also one of human nature.

Raistlin said: "The tactical position is the distribution method to maximize the combat effectiveness of personnel in a specific combat mode. It is generally divided into front, middle and rear positions. In our team, I am the main defense in the front position, and my duty is to be at the front. Withstood the impact of the monster ahead."

"Iger is the central control position. His white smoke can lock monsters, restrict their actions, assist us in attacking or protect us in retreat. This position is a test of IQ, but unfortunately he does not have it."

Iger jumped up and slammed Raistlin's knee: "You fart! Which time didn't I save you?"

Raistlin ignored him and continued: "Caramon is the back supporter. His main function is to heal us, adjust and replenish our spiritual energy. He is very fragile and needs our protection the most."

Caramon said angrily, "Where am I so fragile?"

"And you, Rhodes, the rear scout, your duty is to observe the whole field, provide information about monsters, provide early warning, and protect us from monster raids."

Raistlin turned sharply and swept out with a lightning-like sweep, smashing what seemed to be a shadowy dog ​​to pieces.

"like this."

Iger and Caramon stood in their positions in an instant.

"It seems that we have work to do."
