The Last Dark King

Latest website: Rhodes finally accepted Horus’ arrangement.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the archbishop of Trolian. Although he usually looks a little dull, his level at critical moments is really impressive. Even Rhodes was said to be a little excited.

Maybe it is indeed necessary.

Rhodes thought.

I should know more about this royal city and this country.

In the days that followed, Rhodes visited many institutions in the royal city step by step, and finally figured out how such a huge country operated and how more than 100 million people survived in such a harsh environment.

In general, fire is the first survival factor, the holy white tree is the second survival factor, the power to fight monsters in the dark is the third survival factor, and output and value are the fourth survival factor.

The selection of all human settlements in Trolian is very particular. Every large settlement has a flowing water source next to it and has resources that can be produced.

There may be fertile land suitable for cultivation, or large lakes suitable for breeding, or there may be mines, or there may be relics that can be utilized.

People gather around these elements to form settlements.

The size of the settlement is affected not only by the intensity of the fire, but also by these factors.

For example, the Royal City has four rivers flowing through it. The roots of the Holy White Tree in the Royal City penetrate the entire underground, and all water sources are purified. The powerful holy fire can even cover more than a hundred thousand yards away, on both the east and west sides. There is a huge mine and there are extremely deep underground ruins (sewers) that have not yet been fully explored.

It is precisely because of such powerful elements that a huge city of this scale can be formed.

Fanxing Town also has such a unique environment, so it can share Trolian's huge survival pressure.

The purpose of the institutions in the royal city is to maximize the use of these elements.

Rod believes that the most important of them is the Sigwe Food Factory.

This is a very large-scale food factory that processes a large amount of food into cans that can be stored for a long time. Most of the food that Rhodes currently eats is actually taken out of cans and then processed. It is relatively rare to use fresh ingredients directly. Generally only available locally.

It is precisely because of the Sigwe Food Factory that Trorian has completely gotten rid of the food crisis and fully digested the research results of the Life Priest Roport and the Mushroom King Laki Li.

There will no longer be a situation where there is too much food to eat in good years and starving people everywhere in bad years.

In Trorian, the definitions of good years and bad years are actually only related to astrology.

When there is more bad weather, the power of fire is suppressed, the life breath of the holy white tree will be weakened, food production will be reduced, and because monster attacks become more frequent, it will also lead to losses in food-producing areas.

This is the year of disaster.

And when good weather occurs frequently, the power of fire is active, the life breath of the holy white tree is enhanced, the production of various crops and livestock products will be accelerated, and the environment will be relaxed and safe, and will not be attacked too much.

This is the harvest year.

The gap between good years and disaster years is huge, and the difference in grain output may be several times or even dozens of times.

Without the Sigwe Food Factory, Trorian's population would not have grown as fast.

Its status in Trolian is quite high, and the name of its factory owner is Sigvey, in commemoration of the great scholar Sigvey who invented the large-scale canning process.

The current Sigvey is a young man who admires Rhodes extremely. During the visit, he simply wanted to stick to him.

When Rhodes left, he gave him all kinds of cans, which took more than a dozen trucks to transport, which made Rhodes very distressed.

Currently, the treatment he receives in the royal city is roughly the same.

Archbishop Horus's "Operation Flag" has begun. They are trying to shape Rhodes into a new hero who is approachable, has many minor flaws, but never disappoints at critical moments.

This move achieved particularly good results.

The younger the people are, the more enthusiastically they worship him. They are tired of the absolutely perfect heroes of the past in the royal city and are extremely interested in new heroes, which makes Rhodes even worried about being a star.

In this way, as the visit continued, time passed quickly until the tenth day of the tenth month of the Teslevian calendar year 1325.

This was the date agreed between Rhodes and the great scholar Amides to visit the Kingworth Institution.

The Jinworth Society is the highest society in Trorian and governs all societies, large and small, in the royal city.

Their main mission is to study various problems, pursue the truth of the world, find ways to make Trorian stronger, crack the secrets of the Black Mist, and let the world see the light of day again is their ultimate ideal.

In order to achieve this goal, countless people forget to eat and sleep, and work hard.

They spend their whole lives just to get one step closer to it.

It is also because of this that so many societies were born in the royal city, and there were so many branches in the Industrial Machinery Research Institute. The paths they took extended in all directions, but they only aimed to achieve one goal.

The moment Rhodes stepped into the Jinworth Institute, he deeply felt the atmosphere of this collision of wisdom.

The breath of freedom permeates this sacred hall. Everyone is unrestrained and can speak freely, as long as your speech is valuable.

What Rhode saw were all the kind of people who pursued the truth in an unscrupulous way.

The moment he met them, Rhodes deeply felt why the royal city was like this. Advanced and backward, conservative and open, wisdom and ignorance coexisted.

This is an era of great change, and they are standing at a crossroads of destiny.

Although no one here noticed it.

But Rhodes knew.

If they take another step forward, they will enter the best of times and the worst of times.

But if they encounter an unimaginable disaster, they will take a step back and return to the closed and dark era.

Hope everything goes well.

he thinks.

Rhodes' appearance caused a sensation, not because of his heroic deeds, and even if he did, it was only a little bit.

But because of the book "Rhode's Electricity" he wrote.

It profoundly and systematically explains the use of electricity, connecting scattered knowledge points together, making everyone enlightened, inspired, and extremely interested in the later parts of this system.

They surrounded him all at once, shouting one after another.

"Sir Rhodes, is your electricity science plagiarized?"

"Is it really an ancient relic of Fanxing Town?"

"You shamelessly added your name, did you consider the needs of morality and personality?"

"Sir Rhodes, if you are willing to show me the following part first, I am willing to clear your name!"

"I do too!"

"Not only do I clear my name, I recognize you as my father from now on!"

"I believe you want grandpa!"

"I recognize my ancestors!"

…

Amid the noise, the blond elder sister Mina impatiently pushed aside these shameless guys and dragged Rhodes into the main conference room.

In the main conference room, six academics, including Amides, were sitting at a large round table, waiting for him.

This is a rare honor.

As the highest-ranking academic masters in Trolian, there are currently only fifteen academic masters alive, and only eight of them are active all year round. Each of them leads a large number of students and is in charge of hundreds of research directions. , extremely busy.

It is extremely rare for six great scholars to give up their busy work and pursuit of truth and wait for the arrival of one person.

"The Sword Comes"

Amides stood up first and introduced enthusiastically: "This is the young hero who wrote "Rhodes' Electricity". He is quite wise and his understanding of the truth is far beyond that of ordinary combatants."

This is a very high rating.

Usually, in the eyes of scholars, combatants are a group of rude warriors with well-developed limbs and brains filled with psychic energy. They do not understand the truth or the power of knowledge at all.

Most of them believe that as long as his path is successful, he will create a weapon that will destroy the world and destroy the world with one blow, destroying the source of darkness in the world and returning light to the universe.

On the contrary, the more knowledgeable academics are calmer and have a clear understanding of themselves and the current situation.

The great scholar Oberon raised his glasses and said kindly: "Mr. Rhodes, I have read your work. I personally think it is not a relic from Fanxing Town. We have no relics unearthed from Fanxing Town." There was no special use or love for electricity in their culture, even if they found no creation related to it.”

He paused and continued.

"Furthermore, I see quite a lot of teaching traces in your work. This is a work that was born for readers to grasp this knowledge more clearly. This is not consistent with common sense. I can only think that it is to master a higher level. You, who are knowledgeable, wrote it specifically for us to see.”

The scholars present all nodded slightly, indicating that they had the same guess.

The scholars standing in a circle looked shocked and incredulous.

On the side, Mina slapped Rhodes on the butt: "Okay, you, I knew you were the material to pursue the truth! You have mastered such profound knowledge without knowing it."

Rhodes slapped her hand away: "Don't slap it randomly."

"Take a picture of what's wrong, and you won't lose a piece of meat."

"Shall I try to shoot you?"

"come."

Rhodes ignored her. He just wanted to explain the misunderstanding clearly. His morality did not allow him to gain a reputation that did not belong to him.

"That's right."

Rod replied.

"It is the knowledge that I have worked hard for decades to understand. My personal philosophy is that the value of knowledge lies in being mastered by more people. Easy-to-understand is its standard. The more obscure knowledge is written, the less it will be understood by others. The more knowledge he has, the more the author himself doesn’t understand it.”

After a few seconds of silence, Rhodes' wonderful speech received warm applause, and the academics applauded Rhodes.

Amides praised: "You are the most noble truth seeker I have ever seen. We should all learn from you."

Rhodes accepted the honor that belonged to him without blushing or heartbeat, and expressed on the spot that he was willing to write down all the knowledge he had learned throughout his life in the most understandable way for everyone to learn from.

He hopes that everyone can go further, build on the original foundation, and find a way to truly save mankind, save the world, and make the universe bright again.

There was thunderous applause in the large conference room, and many scholars had tears in their eyes. While they were impressed by Rhodes' greatness, they were also ashamed of their own insignificance and selfish desires. Many people were unwilling to share their knowledge for free.

The great scholar Amides even put forward a slogan and suggested that it be used as the motto of the Jinworth Society and be passed down from generation to generation.

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone. The great scholar Ward wrote a piece of paper in black and white on the spot and hung it on the wall after installing the table.

"Learn from Mr. Rhodes."

Rhodes pretended to be embarrassed, but actually he was smiling in his heart.

From now on, my name will be everywhere in the Jinworth Society!

After Rhodes's promise, the main purpose of their meeting had been achieved. There was no need to discuss the things that originally needed to be discussed. They only had to wait for Rhodes' new book to be released.

The university scholars took the initiative to introduce the current cutting-edge research results to him, which was a return favor.

University scholar Ward is best at making golems and constructs. This cold war machine is very powerful and is not afraid of pain and pollution. His latest creation, the giant golem, is said to have a combat power that exceeds that of ordinary "inhumans" Level warrior.

The only drawback is that it's expensive.

Even the weakest one needs to use piles of black iron, true silver, and psychic crystals.

He was very grateful to Rhodes. If it weren't for the mineral veins mined in Fanxing Town, he wouldn't have such abundant materials now.

The construct factory can operate at full capacity, and his contribution is indispensable.

Rhodes thought for a while, took out his wooden puppet and flesh puppet, and gave them to the great scholar Ward for reference.

Scholar Ward's eyes lit up as soon as he saw these two puppets. He turned over and over to observe their bodies and marveled at them.

In Ward's eyes, although these two puppets are not powerful, they have unique shapes and are very cost-effective.

His student was a little confused and asked: "Teacher, this should be a creation of characteristics. They use characteristics to produce these puppets. They cannot be copied by conventional means and have no reference value."

But Ward shook his head: "No, not just that, this is not a black box creation whose principles are completely incomprehensible. It seems to be something that can be copied. It is a product of some kind of more powerful, higher-level, and more mature technology. I want to study it carefully."

The great scholar Ward held the puppet and ran away on the spot.

Everyone is not surprised. For them, inspiration is the most important thing.

Afterwards, they also introduced their respective research results, which were so exciting and varied that Rhodes couldn't help but admire their amazing imagination.

However, Rhodes also discovered that no matter what the project was, it seemed to have some connection with ancient times.

The importance of history here is beyond imagination.

University scholar Amides explained: "The achievements of ancient times are far more brilliant than we imagined. The relics we have unearthed from the ruins of the past are not only powerful and mysterious, but there are also many who are far more advanced than us."

"Yes." University scholar Oberon said: "The soul working substance crystal of the Industrial Machinery Research Institute, the psychic working substance panel, the instrument for testing soul characteristics and fire, the crystal ball that displays the name of soul characteristics according to the soul fluctuation, and the testing of soul characteristics level The crystal fireworks panels are all products obtained from ancient ruins, and how they work is still unknown."

"The relics we get from ruins and ruins are much more than you think. They are not just powerful weapons, but also many ordinary items in life."

Rhodes was very curious and couldn't help but ask: "What was our past like? Why did it become like this?"

Hearing this question, the academics all showed solemn expressions.
