the last king of darkness

Chapter 417 The Moment of Human Destiny
This is the first day of the week, and the weather is good, and the Fire Day has been extended for an extra half day.

Even in the Storm Canyon far away from the royal city, the black mist has obviously become thinner.

The ruins of the former Storm Pass were brightly lit, and countless lights illuminated the area where death and terror had settled.

Neat street lights spread to an invisible distance, and the convoy carrying stones and supplies could not be seen at a glance.

Countless logistics and production personnel are building forts here.

Trorian's production capacity is astonishing. In just a few days, the new fortress has begun to take shape. The fire-guarding sacrificial field as the core of the fortress has been built. The fire priests and fire-keepers have even started a new prayer.

The light of fire appeared in this huge and deep canyon, and the towering and dark ashes mountains on both sides were not so scary anymore.

In Kashan's view, this kind of scenery is already quite "pleasant".

Rhode's aesthetics was also distorted, and he actually felt that this kind of scenery was good. After all, if it weren't for this, it would be endless black fog, barren land, or even more disgusting swamps, sewers and the like.

"Rhodes, are you saying that we are really going to fight another Fire King City?"

Cassan asked softly. During this period of fighting together, her grievances dissipated a lot. Rhodes fulfilled his promise with practical actions, so that she would no longer resent him. Rhodes' strong strength and skilled fighting skills also made her very admired. .

He was already a Trorian hero.

Kassan thought.

He grew up so fast and brought us so much hope. I shouldn't blame him. He is a human genius and our new star. It's just that I couldn't keep up with him.

But, why am I always unable to fully grasp this spark of anger?

Cassan fell into endless troubles again, and missed Rhodes' answer.

Ever since she obtained this strange relic, she has been in such troubles.

The Seed of Rage is the soul trait of Kashan's ancestors, which has undergone very special treatment. If her descendants consume this soul trait, they will get this legendary fire seed.

Others will die with their souls bursting if they take it.

Chief Dean Theodore gave this soul trait to her before he died, and she can choose to inherit this power, or keep it as a souvenir.

The archbishop once warned her that it is very dangerous to directly consume soul traits.

Even if this soul trait has undergone a special soul mutation, it is still very dangerous, and side effects such as repulsion, erosion, confusion, and mutation may still affect her.

Even if the inheritance is successful, it cannot be completely eliminated.

But Kashan did not hesitate and still chose the former.

So far, the eating ceremony has been very successful. Kashan has completely obtained the fire, without any rejection or adverse phenomena. Wang Cheng once trained her as a student of the [Strong] logo.

But as time went by, Wang Cheng gradually discovered that Kashan could not fully control the fire.

No matter how hard she trained, the Seed of Rage could not achieve a perfect fit with her.

After detailed research, Wang Cheng believes that it may be the result of the repulsive nature of the soul. Even the souls of immediate family members are quite different, and this difference is irreparable.

Therefore, Wang Cheng gradually gave up on Kashan and stopped her special supply.

At this time, Rhodes came.

He invited Kashan into the Black Warband.

Here again, she was provided with sufficient supplies and resources.

Although the fit level of Tinder of Wrath has never been improved, Tinder itself is still much stronger, and Kashan's own strength has also made great progress.

Therefore, in the bottom of my heart, Kashan is actually very grateful to Rhodes.

However, apart from gratitude, there were more things buried in her heart, but as Rhodes drifted away, she also thought that they would never be realized.

"Let's go and see Omir's passage of the dead."

Rhodes said.

"It won't be long before we arrive at Starry Sky City along this passage and start an unprecedented war. Maybe you can also have the opportunity to participate."

Kassan immediately beamed with joy, she was very concerned about everything about the war.

The two came to the coffin of the giant king Omir in the northwest corner.

The guards around saluted Rhodes slightly, and then let him go.

Kashan's eyes flashed, and she followed Rhodes without speaking.

The coffin of the giant is very large, covering an area of ​​thousands of yards. The coffin is pure black with strange patterns engraved on it. The coffin lid has already been lifted, and there is no corpse underneath. It is a very wide tunnel.

A watchman said respectfully: "Your Excellency Rhodes, this is Omir's Undead Passage."

Rhodes nodded and said, "Let's go."

Step into the passage with Cassan.

The passage is about a hundred yards wide and thirty yards high. If you don't have enough spiritual vision, you can't see through the black fog. Walking inside is no different from walking outside.

Probably because the exploration has just started, there is no spiritual lamp placed in the passage.

Kashan followed closely behind Rhodes, and asked in a low voice, "Is this the passage dug out by the corpse of the giant king Omir?"

Rhodes smiled and said: "That's a rumor. I don't know where the giant king Omir died. The historian Bins of Wangcheng has already verified that this is actually a tunnel dug by the Baiyin clan. In order to avoid being discovered, Just built a shell of the giant king's coffin on the outside."

"Silver family?" Kashan asked curiously with her blue eyes flashing.

Rhodes replied: "It is the ancestors of human beings, a family known as silver humans. They took shelter under the giants, but they were unwilling to submit to the throne of giants, and tried to find freedom many times."

"However, both the giant family and the silver family disappeared in the mass extinction of the second era. Since then, the royal city has become an abandoned empty city. Until thousands of years later, our hero Trorian reappeared The holy fire was lit here, and only then did we have the future.”

Kashan's eyes shone brightly, and she said softly, "You know a lot. I used to think you were a bad student who didn't want to make progress."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Kassan, people will change. When I understand that I carry the burden of human beings on my shoulders, I know what I should do."

Kashan clenched his fist: "Humanity will win!"

Rhodes paused, shook his head and said, "Kassan, actually, we know that we may not be able to win. It is just a slogan to say that human beings must win and fire will last forever. Maybe in the next moment, an extremely powerful monster will emerge from Jumped out from the depths of the darkness, instantly killed us all, the holy flame was extinguished, and we slept forever in the darkness, just like the human beings and civilizations in the countless ruins."

"but."

He twisted his words with one word.

"If we surrender just because there is little hope, then we deserve to perish. We can fail, but the human spirit must never fail. We must fight on, fight on, struggle on, until the fire burns out. a moment."

"In this way, when we die in battle, we won't regret our inaction, and we won't be ashamed of wasting our lives. We can say to our ancestors with a clear conscience that we did our best."

"Human beings, never give up."

Kashan's blue eyes were complicated, moved, and passionate. She bit her lips and whispered: "You are always so good, I can't compare to you."

Rhodes touched her head and said with a smile: "Of course I am excellent, but you may not be inferior to me. If you have the spark of anger, everything is possible. The great scholar De Lan told me that this is a person who can create The fire of miracles, the potential it contains is unimaginable, I believe you will be able to control it in the future."

He gently took Kashan's hand.

"Take hold of my hand like now."

In the darkness, Rhodes clearly saw that Kashan's entire face turned red.

"really?"

she asked softly.

"Rod, do you think I'm... fine?"

Rhodes nodded: "Very good."

Kashan's face was almost smoking: "But I'm not tall."

"I think it's high."

"Well, that's nothing big."

"I think it's huge."

"The combat level is not strong..."

"The future will be strong."

Kashan looked at Rhodes, her eyes almost filled with water: "You, do you really think so?"

Rhodes didn't answer right away, they walked a few steps, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

It turned out that there were several lanterns hanging on both sides of the tunnel.

In front of them is a very huge door, which is made of unknown steel, with a strange luster flowing on the surface.

The weird spiritual energy fluctuations reminded Rhodes that the seal ahead refused his approach.

This is what really gave Wang Cheng a headache.

People with more than ten levels of psionic ability approached it, and the seal would be broken.

Once the tunnel is destroyed, it will be very troublesome to dig it again. The Ash Mountain is a mountain created by the gods. The ground below it has been spiritualized and will be regarded as a whole. It is extremely difficult to dig.

If they couldn't pass through this sealed door correctly, it would be very difficult for them to reach Star City before the scheduled time.

Rhodes stopped in front of the seal and said calmly, "Kashan, can you smash this door?"

Kashan walked up curiously, examined it carefully for a while, but didn't feel anything unusual, and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

Rhodes replied: "This is the sealed door set by the Silver family. They may be afraid that their achievements will be stolen, so they specially set up this steel door and use the seal to ensure that it will not be opened by outsiders. There are some strange people in this family who are not born with high levels of psionic abilities, but are extremely powerful."

Kassan asked in surprise, "Can I open it?"

Rhodes replied: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't appear here."

Kashan froze for a moment, and then, her face quickly flushed red.

"You, you mean, you have been with me these few days just to let me open this door?"

"Correct."

Kashan's forehead was also red, and crystal tears began to reflect in her blue eyes: "But, but you said that I am tall..."

"No, you can't even reach my shoulders, no one is shorter than you."

"You, you said I'm big..."

"The washing machine is also called big?"

"I will become stronger in the future..."

"There is a high probability that there is no chance. Your fire is too monotonous, and the fit is not good. If there is hope for the future, how do you lose your strong identity?"

Kashan looked at Rhodes, her eyes were full of hopelessness: "You said I'm fine..."

Rhodes yawned: "What's the good thing?"

Kashan clenched her fists tightly, her whole body was like a roasted red lobster.

The flames of anger released powerful blood energy, enveloping her.

In the distance, the great scholar Delan and Archbishop Horus stared at her state closely, and said to Rhodes through psychic communication: "No, it's not enough..."

Rhode showed a smile: "I'm sorry, Kashan, I forgot to tell you, you are really annoying during the day, you always waste my time and delay my date with my lover at night, she is much more beautiful than you, She is gentle and cute, her thighs are long and white, her breasts are..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

Bloody light erupted, boiling breath gushed out, and the red steam almost flooded the tunnel.

Accompanied by an unprecedented loud noise, the sealed door set by the Baiyin clan thousands of years ago was violently opened, and the seal attached to the door was automatically released.

Rhode let out a long breath, and the mission was finally successful. Cassan still threw the punch at the door in extreme anger, instead of pointing at him, which was considered a blessing in misfortune.

Several cheers came from a distance, it was Archbishop Horus, great scholar Delan and others.

They stopped hiding, ran over quickly, and praised: "Good job, Rhodes!"

"You're great, Kashan!"

"You have made great contributions, Wangcheng will issue hero badges to you."

Rhodes didn't speak, just quietly waiting for the blood to fall, revealing Kashan's figure.

She stood there quietly, her expression became calm, even indifferent.

She looked at Rhodes and said calmly, "I did it."

Rhodes nodded: "That's right."

"I know you're for Trorian, but I'm still angry."

"It's right to be angry. In order to survive, we will always give up something. In comparison, the cost of personal feelings is the smallest, much smaller than blood, soul, and life."

Kashan was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I see."

She swayed and then fell to the ground.

The great scholar Delan ran up, touched her forehead, between her brows, and let out a long sigh of relief: "It's okay, her soul has not been irreversibly damaged, but due to the power output beyond the limit, she was backlashed by the side effects of the flames of anger." , the soul has become very weak, and may have to rest for two to three months."

Horus glanced around for a moment, then said in surprise, "The Seed of Rage has completely penetrated into her soul, there is no gap."

Rhodes didn't speak. Before performing this task, he actually knew the reason why Cassan didn't get along with the spark of anger-she hasn't really let go of the softness in her heart, and there is always room behind the anger.

This is what the book of knowledge told him, after obtaining the root spirituality, it has no side effect of damaging the soul by using its knowledge-seeking characteristics.

Of course, the price still has to be paid.

For this answer, Rhodes paid a lot of materials, and there is also a flower of humanity, which is also a bit heartbreaking.

But Kashan is not only related to the next task of the Holy Fire Project, she is also the only complete family member of Rhodes at present-everything she does will be regarded as Rhodes' doing.

Investing in her will never lose money.

When she realized the sadness and became unfeeling, she was in perfect harmony with the spark of anger.

Her growth will be greatly accelerated, and her combat power will also be improved by leaps and bounds.

At that time, Kashan's role will be fully revealed.

Rhodes couldn't help showing a smile.

He must fill his Black Warband with such people, and he will never have to worry about the soul anymore.

At this time, Horus pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Rods, Kashan's resource consumption is very stressful, right? You have made such a great contribution, and the royal city cannot let you suffer. Well, I will restore Kashan's strength." Mark, Wang Cheng will be responsible for her material supply in the future."

"no!"

Rhodes flatly refused.

If the dependents leave his environment, they will gradually fade away, and he must use his resources to support her.

It’s hard to get to this point, Horus, you actually want to pick my peaches?

"Kasan will always be a member of the Black Battlegroup, and no one is allowed to snatch it."

Horus said a little awkwardly: "Little Rhodes, I have no objection if you want to raise her. After all, everyone wants to make their battle group stronger, but Kashan is not what it used to be. Her supplies must be guaranteed." , otherwise it will affect her growth, and Wang Cheng is qualified to take back her jurisdiction."

Rhodes nodded and said: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Archbishop, with me, the Black War Group will not lack resources."

Horus showed a satisfied smile: "That's a good point, little Rhodes."

Looking at the opened gate and the deep tunnel behind, he sighed and said.

"Starry Sky City... the moment to decide the fate of mankind is coming."
