The Last Dark King

Latest website: Rhodes has never been so rich.

What is the concept of five hundred million silver cords?

One thousand silver notes alone filled a whole cart.

Rhodes' weekly salary was 10,000 silver cords. Calculated based on 515 days per year, he had to work for 136 years to earn so much money.

Hmm... Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like there are many?

Of course, this must be an illusion.

The ultra-rapid development of Fanxing Town is due to Rhodes' crazy spending of money.

He told Vilas, who was far away in the royal city, to spread the word about the pioneers of Fanxing Town, the first rising star of Trolian in 1325, and the great black bastard Rhodes.

All residents who move to Fanxing Town will not only be allocated a house for free, tax-free, but also receive a monthly resettlement subsidy.

Such favorable conditions immediately broke through the psychological defenses of the residents of the royal city.

Especially the residents of the slums in the outer city. They live extremely crowded lives. Dozens of people are crowded into a hut. Some people even have to sleep on the streets. They are often attacked by monsters at night. In the fantasy, they are surrounded by holy fire and have high walls. The protected royal city is far less safe than imagined.

They are extremely poor. They have no houses of their own, no residual light, and work in dark workshops day and night, earning only a meager salary.

Now that this is the case, why not give it a try in Star Town?

At least it can make a contribution to humanity.

Vilas cleverly exploited this psychology.

When he gave speeches everywhere in the royal city, he highlighted Rhodes' identity as a pioneer and built him into an image of a lone hero. He told a touching story of him going deep into the darkness alone, lighting fires, slaying monsters, and opening up a space for human survival. story, and hint that the hero needs their help.

Of course, the truth is quite different.

As a result, the residents of the Royal City, who had both spiritual and physical power, broke away from the high walls and sacred fires they once dreamed of, and took the direct line to Fanxing Town provided by the giant merchants in Maihara, starting their new lives.

When they crossed the endless darkness, passed through the rolling black mist, and arrived at Fanxing Town, they looked at the huge town bathed in bright firelight, the wide and clean streets, the buildings full of classical art atmosphere, and the lively crowds, As well as the bright copper lamps hanging in front of each house, the shock that hit everyone's face made the regrets that had arisen in everyone's hearts instantly dissipate.

When they settled in with the help of the newly hired staff from the Fanxing Town Administration Department and discovered that Fanxing Town was far from as dangerous as they thought, their admiration for Rhodes rolled in like a torrential river.

And after they sent their letters back through the Fanxing Town post office, the number of people trying to move to Fanxing Town exploded.

The special line established by Maihara's giant merchants was full, and they added dozens of large psychic mechanical transport vehicles overnight, but it could not alleviate the problem. Every day, the station was crowded with people from the slums in the outer city.

Everyone stretched their heads and looked to the west, eagerly awaiting the arrival of empty vehicles.

This grand occasion also spread to the Royal City Government Affairs Office and the Supreme Council.

Two of the three chief consuls had a greatly improved impression of Rhodes, and the elders even changed their previous harsh image and took turns bragging about Rhodes' achievements.

Some elders even severely criticized Guardian Qingyu for marrying more than 300 potential partners, including the great hero Rhodes, as a huge insult to him, and asked her to break off the engagement immediately so as not to block the position of the dozens of elders' granddaughters behind her.

The opponents could no longer sit still. The three justices, Karama, Amorri, and Laiweil, were particularly miserable. The large number of poor people fleeing greatly affected their workshop business and the income of the Kuyao mine.

After the Chief Consul Talinas and Manolo Bana came to visit personally, the three justices made up their minds and decided to make a desperate move.

At the same time, the opponents are uniting more closely around Jon, the candidate for king, providing him with a large amount of materials and money, hoping that he can provide convenience to eliminate Rhodes.

Jon took it all.

He gave part of it to Rhodes, cut off part of it himself, and told Rhodes about the conveniences he provided through Vivian one by one, asking him to be careful.

at this point.

Rhodes has only one feeling, that is, the world and the earth are all working together.

Everyone was trying their best to help him, and everything went smoothly.

The reconstruction speed of Fanxing Town is beyond imagination. Not only the professional builders hired, but also all the residents here are very good at building, remodeling, and renovating old objects. Once they got their own houses, they spontaneously started to renovate them. Work.

Not only your own house, but also the surrounding environment is changing rapidly.

This ancient town, which was destroyed 1,500 years ago, is now glowing with new vitality.

But Molly and others turned a blind eye to such things.

When Rhodes asked, they were quite surprised.

"Isn't that how it's supposed to be?"

"Isn't that how you think about it?"

In order to maintain his image, Rhodes had no choice but to cough: "I'm just testing you."

Molly's serious expression did not change at all.

Vivian gave him a huge eye roll to express her dissatisfaction.

Currently, they are in charge of the work of the newly built administrative office.

Although Rhodes is the supreme leader who controls everything, the specific affairs are handed over to Molly, and Vivian is Molly's capable assistant. This means that most of the affairs in Fanxing Town are handled by these two women, only the decision-making The affairs department will come to ask Rhodes for instructions.

But even so, Rhodes is very busy, and the busiest affairs are matters related to combat and defense.

The defense master of the city defense army who made a special trip to Fanxing Town for inspection told him.

Fanxing Town is currently very dangerous. To the south is Ghost Lake, to the north is Blackwater Swamp, and to the west is the extremely dangerous Yin Soen Ruins. They are all crimson-level areas. The wandering monsters may change at any time due to the changes in Fanxing Town.

There are no city walls, no psychic barriers, no psychic generators, and no defensive facilities on the outside of Fanxing Town. Once attacked by monsters, it will cause huge losses.

Rhodes knew this very well.

But he did not accept the defense master's advice. He only built sentry towers around the area and used proactive attacks to eliminate incoming monsters.

The defense master admired Rhodes for pioneering the darkness, and was very anxious because of it.

"Sir Rhodes, this kind of defense is very weak. After countless years of permeation, the black mist has a strange balance. If you light the fire and disperse the black mist, the balance of this area will be broken. Monsters will definitely Something strange happened.”

Rhodes asked, "Are there any exceptions?"

"Unless there is good weather, the black mist becomes dull due to the influence of the sun, moon and stars, and the influence of fire is reduced."

"Yes, isn't tomorrow a fire sun?"

The defense master asked angrily: "What about the day after tomorrow?"

"Sunday."

"What about the day after tomorrow?"

"Sunday."

"Where does it end on Sunday?"

"Fire Sun."

The defense master was enraged: "You are farting, how do you know?"

Rhodes smiled and said: "I watched the sky at night, my sharp eyes penetrated the dark fog, my profound wisdom understood the trajectory of the stars, and my handsome face moved the stars, the sun and the moon, and they decided that the weather would be good in the next period of time. "

The Defense Master was so angry that his dentures spurted out.

"You brat, what are you talking about? This kind of rare good weather was not predicted by the White Tower full of masters of prophecy and astrology. How could you possibly predict it with your rookie astrology skills?"

Rhodes rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master, how about we make a bet."

"Just fight, I've never lost a stick bet on Tongchui Street. If anyone loses, whoever loses will eat the other's shit for a week!"

How much do you like to bet on shit... The corner of Rhodes' mouth twitched.

"Big stick...Master, I think it's better for us to be more harmonious and hygienic. If I lose, I will become your teacher and obey any of your instructions. If you lose, you can work for me for free for one year. How about that?" ?”

He blew his big brown beard with the big stick and said loudly: "Okay! What you said, Miss Molly, you are a famous beauty in the Supreme Military War Department. You will be a witness. Is that okay?"

Molly gave Rod a questioning look.

The latter gave her a confident look.

Molly nodded: "In the name of fire, I witness that the agreement between Mr. Vic Big Stick of Tonghammer Street and Mr. Rhodes of Red Rock Village is valid."

The defense master walked away angrily, and Rod gave Molly a victory sign.

Molly looked at him with serious eyes like a class teacher, and pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses.

"Sir Rhodes, I have to remind you that the possibility of your victory is extremely slim."

Rhodes didn't pay any attention to her words. He pointed at her slender legs and shouted, "Where are the black stockings?"

"There is no need to wear combat equipment during non-combat periods."

Rhodes said angrily: "Why is it a non-combat period? Don't you see how dangerous it is now? What if I need you to possess me when I go out to fight? And I work so hard that I can't even see the black silk. It will affect me." If you feel like it, go and put it on quickly, you are not allowed to take it off again without my order."

Molly gave him a cold look and walked away expressionlessly.

And Rhodes immediately entered the dreamland on the spot, and once again confirmed the trajectory of the stars and the shape of the sun and the moon in the huge Star Square. The weather will be good in the next dozens of days.

"Haha, I deceived another master."

The book of knowledge has been running around me, and there are two words written crookedly in every word gap in the pages.

"Divinity!"

It has been like this during this period. As soon as Rhodes enters the dreamland, it will chant sutras crazily in front of him.

There is a lot written on the page, but if you look closely, you can see that the word "divine" is written all over the page.

Rhodes was extremely annoyed: "I know, isn't this what I'm doing?"

The Book of Knowledge also wrote: "Star Town is your territory. Its prosperity and output directly determine your contribution. The stars have begun to move, the shining moment is approaching, and the dreamland will soon gain divinity! You must work hard Work! Every bit of divinity is our hope for survival!”

"ok, ok, I got it."

There are a lot more written in the Book of Knowledge, all of which are all kinds of details on how to obtain divinity.

Rhodes couldn't stand it anymore and had no choice but to escape from the dream.

But after a while, the book of knowledge started making noise in his mind again, and another spiritual monster was trying to attack the dream bubble.

Rhodes could only return to the dreamland and manipulate the air bubble to throw away the monster on the Light Platform.

Then he left the dreamland to receive new visitors.

These people only recognize Rhodes, not because of him. They are not willing to come to such a dangerous place deep in darkness.

Therefore, these reception tasks can only be done by him personally and cannot be shied away from.

After all, every bit of power now will make Fanxing Town stronger.

The more powerful Fanxing Town brought him more divinity.

More divinity will bring greater power to the dream and give him more protection.
