the last king of darkness

Chapter 428 The real king

Before Rhodes could speak, Armando's angry eyes swept over.

"Feixue, you can say these words in private, not on such a solemn occasion."

Feixue stuck out her little tongue.

"What if you say in private that he's coming?"

Amento's entire face turned red visibly, like a steamed orange.

"Punish!"

he growled.

"Heavy punishment! You are not allowed to go to the holy white tree for a month! Go to the botanical garden! Before I see you make substantial changes, you are not allowed to drink a sip of water from the clean blue lake!"

Feixue's face wrinkled into a ball, and she muttered in a low voice: "Grandpa Armando, this is too heavy, how about a day?"

Armando exhaled heavily from his nostrils.

"Shut up, you have no room for bargaining."

He angrily led the three of Rhodes away.

Rhodes glanced at her sympathetically, only to find that she secretly made a face at him.

This girl...is a child at all.

Rhodes thought.

But she has become a guardian so early, what a talent.

The next one was a middle-aged man with a straight figure.

He didn't wear the guardian's robe, but his upper body was bare, revealing his strong muscles. The crown of fire was printed on his neck. His lower body was only wearing a pair of shorts, his legs were clean-shaven, and he carried a long sword behind his back.

"The Gale of Cloud Village."

Armando's tone was still a little stiff.

"He is an old guardian. It has been ten years since he passed the enthronement ceremony. He has a lot of experience, a flexible mind, and great means of handling things. You can learn more from him."

Gale Feng nodded slightly to them, with a peaceful attitude and a little indifference.

"Hello, shining new stars, I am Gale Guardian, my soul characteristic is Moon Phantom, and my level is nine. This is a characteristic that is affected by the time of day. When the moon attribute is the celestial aspect, my characteristic is the most powerful. If you need to cooperate in combat, please come to me at this time."

He paused, then continued.

"I'm good at the front and middle positions, and my combat style is close to that of an assassin. I need a stupid, black and thick partner to fully exert my strength."

He examined the three of them for a moment, focusing on Jessica.

"You are very good."

Jessica pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, I will be that stupid partner."

Haifeng nodded slightly, and then disappeared into a phantom.

Rhodes touched his brows, and whispered to Taylor, "Why do I think he's a bit unreliable?"

Taylor replied solemnly: "Brother Rhodes, Lord Galewind is a very powerful guardian. He is one of the few men in Trorian who has the title of Sword Master, and he is known as the never-ending Wind Sword Master."

Rhodes was surprised: "Is it so powerful? How many Juggernauts do we have?"

"The old swordsman Galen, the first knight Lord Alan, the golden Valkyrie Teresa, and me who is launching an impact on the title of swordsman."

Rhodes was even more surprised: "Teresa? She actually has the title of Juggernaut? She hasn't become a first-level combatant yet, right?"

Taylor coughed: "She is in a special situation. Although she already has the strength of a first-level combatant, she cannot become a guardian."

"A special situation?"

"Yes." Taylor said seriously: "There are many first-level combatants, but not everyone can become a guardian. The first requirement of a guardian must be a fire bearer, that is, the star fire sequence or the spirit fire sequence."

Rhodes frowned. He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be more than two sequences. The fire bearer was not the only warrior with special characteristics, and igniting the soul was not the only way to cross the threshold of psychic power.

"You, you mean Teresa is not a fire-bearer?"

Taylor shook his head slowly.

"She is a white spirit bearer and belongs to the white spirit sequence. This is a secret, but you are qualified to know it now."

Rhode's brows frowned even deeper. He never thought that Teresa, whom he once regarded as a caring big sister, was not a fire holder.

"White Spirit Bearer... what is it? I can't remember..."

Tai Luo's face was solemn, and he replied in a deep voice: "Spirit bearers are the ones who support the soul, they can't ignite the fire of the soul, they can only gain power through other soul fragments with special characteristics, white represents resonance, white means spiritual inheritance Those who acquire power through soul resonance are relatively safe, but resonance matching is very difficult, and it may lead to a decrease in synchronization rate during fierce battles or serious injuries, which in turn affects strength and even leads to loss of control."

"But Teresa has never had a similar accident. Her spirit-inheriting characteristic is acceleration. This simple characteristic blooms infinite brilliance in her hands. She has a natural fighting instinct and unparalleled fighting talent. Under the effect, she is like a Valkyrie born on the battlefield, although her spiritual power is not particularly strong, although her characteristics are not particularly good, her actual combat ability is very strong."

Taro paused for a moment, glanced at the first elder, Armando, and seeing that he was still, he knew that the following words could be said.

"Therefore, Wang Cheng spent a lot of money to find a very powerful soul for her. Teresa completed the resonance after undergoing many dangerous soul transformations. Her psychic level is close to the eleventh level. Although there is no breakthrough, But the actual combat effectiveness has exceeded the standard of a first-level combatant."

"However, she is not a fire holder, she cannot be a guardian, she can only become a strong fighter."

Rhodes was silent for a few seconds, and asked, "How many first-level fighters do we have?"

Taylor thought for a moment, and replied: "There are about 200 official first-level combatants and similar personnel with combat effectiveness of first-level combatants."

"But there are only 33 guardians."

"That's right." Taylor said with a smile: "The guardian's standards are very strict. In addition to being a fire holder, you must also have enough honor, enough strength and room for growth, enough wisdom and leadership skills. Only the best can be Guardians."

Jessica nodded lightly: "Taylor is right. Guardians are the strongest and most potential fighters among the first-level fighters. Only we can hope to become the most powerful Son of Fire and join the ranks of super fighters." ranks of personnel."

Rhodes was proud and a little heavy in his heart. The road to promotion was far more stringent than he imagined. He was just lucky enough to become a Guardian so quickly.

After that, under the leadership of Armando, Rhodes met all the guardians on the scene.

They are very enthusiastic, very friendly to the arrival of new people, always introduce themselves in detail, and actively want to fight with them.

Rhodes memorized the names of each of them. Most of them were fighters of the Spirit Fire Sequence, but there were also a few of the Starfire Sequence. Some were older and some were younger, but he was still the youngest among them.

This made Rhodes very unhappy. Everyone regarded him as a junior, and they called him Brother Rhodes at best, and Little Rhodes, Brother Rhodes, or even Little Brother.

Among the 33 guardians, only eleven came to the scene, and six came in the state of spirits.

Among the 52 seats, half are empty, some are already covered with dust, and some are just vacant.

Rhodes saw Lilivia's seat, her name was still engraved on the seat, while the other empty seats had no names.

This made Rhodes feel very bad.

If her name is erased, what traces will she have left in this world?

However, Amando quickly told him that once the name appeared on the guardian's seat, it would never be erased. If the guardian was killed, they would replace it with a new chair, and the old chair would be stored forever in the in the old library.

Immediately, Armando walked towards the statue of Trorian and pushed open a door from its feet.

"This is the guardian's old vault, where all the guardian's relics are stored."

When the three of them stepped into the gray warehouse, they were stunned by the pieces of bronze seats.

The seats filled the room, up to the top of the warehouse.

Armando said in a deep voice: "The warehouse is no longer available, we plan to open another warehouse."

Rhodes asked in a voice: "Are these the guardian's relics? How many are there?"

"One thousand and five hundred and sixty."

Armando's voice was hoarse and deep, hiding a strong sadness.

"It's all the guardians who died in battle for nearly 400 years."

"What about 400 years ago?"

"Lost, mass extinction... oh, historians have changed the name now, after the second Trorian cataclysm, we have very few relics left, and there are gaps in history."

"Before the catastrophe... how many Guardians did we have?"

"I don't know, it is estimated to be several hundred."

"What about the first-level combatants?"

"two thousand."

"They are all dead?"

"They should all be dead. After the catastrophe, there is no one out of ten in Trorian, and there is no one out of ten strong and high-level combatants. It took us 400 years to return to our current appearance."

Armando's voice became calm.

"But now, we have a chance to go beyond the best of times."

"It's in Starry Sky City."

"A more powerful holy flame will ignite more souls and give birth to more high-level combatants and top powerhouses. We will have more people step into the field of the Law Commander, and human beings will eventually emerge as true kings."

He looked at the three people in front of him, and there was a light in his cloudy and yellow eyes.

"You are the hope of the future, this is the mission given to you by the fire!"

Tai Luo clenched a fist with one hand, pressed it to his heart, and said loudly: "We will definitely not insult the mission of fire!"

Jessica smiled lightly.

"Your Excellency the First Elder, you will meet an unprecedented super strong spiritual girl. My liberation will eventually save the world."

Rhodes thought for a while and asked, "What does the real king refer to?"

Armando replied in a deep voice: "According to ancient legends, in the domain above the Lawlord, he possesses infinite spiritual power and super authority, can resist the invasion of the unknown, protect the safety of human beings, and can tear Open the curtain of black mist, let the sun shine on the earth, he is the savior of mankind, a superpower who can really face the darkness, we respectfully call him the true king."

"However, this is just a legend. The true king-level combat power has not appeared for thousands of years. Since mankind entered the dark age, even the road to the true king-level has been cut off."

He paused and said.

"Okay, I've said too much. Now, you need to adapt to the status and responsibilities of guardians as soon as possible, and then set foot on the battlefield of Starry Sky City as soon as possible to play your due role."

"Go to the main hall, Archbishop Horus will lead you into Xinghuan Town."

After speaking, Armando turned and left the Guardian Hall.

Tai Luo grinded his fists, and said in a loud voice: "Let's go quickly, I can't wait to go to the battlefield!"

Jessica said lightly, "Let's go."

The main hall is in the middle and upper part of the castle, and it is an area that only first-level fighters can enter.

On the way to the main hall, Rhodes asked curiously, "Sister Jessica, are you really that strong?"

Jessica smiled and said: "Little Rhodes, you still don't know what is the 'magic liberation' of the seven characteristics of the royal city. People who have this characteristic are destined to be strong, and when I control the source corresponding to it , My state of awakening will change drastically, if there is one person who can save the world, that person must be me, if there is a group of people who can save the world, it must be our spiritual girl group."

Taylor glanced at her: "Jessica, I have to remind you, you are too arrogant, my Giant of Light is no worse than you, I never think that I can save the world."

Jessica raised her beautiful eyebrows: "How long can your light giant form last?"

Tai Luo frowned and said, "Half a quarter of an hour..."

Jessica smiled sweetly: "Taylor, it's not a good thing for a man to be too short. My awakened state is permanent. As long as I don't release it and my psychic power doesn't run out, I will always be a powerful multi-armed snake demon. When I control If I lose its source law, I will become a stronger super form, and on that day, you will know how I got the title of 'undefeated'."

Taro closed his mouth and didn't want to speak for the time being.

Rhode hesitated to speak, but still asked, "Sister Jessica, why is Annabelle different from you?"

Jessica smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry little Rhodes, although we don't want to admit it, Annabelle is a freak, her awakening state is very weak, and her growth is too slow, but it's not her fault, maybe If there is something wrong, you have to take care of her more, and I will take care of you after I become the real king."

She winked playfully at Rhodes.

"Satisfy your red heart to act like a baby in the arms of big sister."

Rhodes smiled awkwardly, he just wanted the girl to throw herself into his arms and act like a baby, not the other way around.

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Sister Jessica, where are the other members of the Spirit Girls Group?"

Jessica replied: "Except for Annabelle, all of them are first-level combatants. Trorian has a rule that only one person is allowed to be the guardian in the spiritual girl group."

Rhodes asked in surprise, "Why?"

Jessica frowned: "I don't know, maybe there is some kind of consideration."

Rhodes smiled and said, "Is my sister the strongest in the spirit girl group?"

Jessica shook her head lightly: "I'm not the strongest, Wendini and Sansa are stronger than me at this stage, and there are a few sisters who are no less powerful than me, but I will become the strongest, I can Feeling that my awakened state is about to move, it is about to master the law of origin."

"All right."

Taylor interrupted their conversation.

"Jessica, I say again, you should be more cautious."

Jessica raised her eyebrows lightly, and the charm that leaked out at that moment made Rhode's heart skip a beat.

"Taylor, my self-confidence is my source of strength. If one day I become inferior and cowardly, you will never see me again."

Tai Luo stopped talking, came to the gate of the main hall, and pushed the door open.

There were already quite a few people in the main hall. The moment the door was pushed open, all eyes were focused and saw the triple flame symbol on their collars.

Noisy cheers suddenly sounded in the hall.

"It's the newly promoted Guardian!"

"They are so young!"

"Yes, yes, especially the black rice bucket. I heard that he can grow up just by eating."

"Ah, my eyes, do I see the rising sun? I'm going blind!"

"Wow, that woman is so beautiful, her boobs are bigger than my head."

"Shut up, it's impolite for you to say that, she is Your Excellency the Guardian!"

"Heh heh heh, we are about to go to the battlefield, and I will let them see that even if they are not guardians, they are not necessarily stronger than us."

All kinds of discussions filled his ears, and Rhodes was surprised to find that he didn't know more than half of the people here.

He recalled what Armando said. There were nearly 200 first-level combatants and similar first-level combatants. He had only seen a small number of them as normal.

Taylor said: "We need to integrate their environment and atmosphere as soon as possible. On the battlefield, they are not only our side-by-side teammates, but also our combat resources."

Rhodes nodded, and when he was about to walk over, a girl with short blonde hair came over.

She staggered a bit, she didn't look like she was injured, but like a beginner walking, wearing a long golden dress, her appearance was delicate, and there were some small freckles on her fair face, but the flaws were not concealed.

"Hello."

She stared at Rhodes as soon as she came, and held out her hand to him.

"Are you the legendary black rice bucket?"

Rhodes stretched out his hand unhappily: "It's me."

"Great!"

She suddenly became excited and rushed up to hug him.

"It's really you, that's great, I finally met you, you know? You are the one I admire the most. In those dark days under Shicheng, I persisted only after listening to your legends. .”

She let go of Rhodes, took two steps back, looked at him carefully, and then remembered to introduce herself.

"Good day, Your Excellency Rhodes, I am Anne of Britannia, the destined savior of Trorian, and the true king of the future. One day, I will save this world, wipe out all the black mist, and bring you back Come to the light, this is the mission I was born with, but I am not fully ready yet and need your help."

Rhodes was stunned, he didn't say a word, and the blond girl crackled a lot.

Also, what's up with you and Jessica?Why are you so confident?
Still have something to rely on?
"Uh."

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, and decided not to puncture her ideal.

"Annie from Brittania, hello... May I ask what are your characteristics? What position are you good at?"

Anne turned her head sideways, her blond hair fell to one side, and her delicate appearance looked very cute.

"What trait? What is that?"
