The Last Dark King

Latest website: It’s the first day of the week, it’s good weather, and Fire Sunday has been extended by an extra half day.

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

The ruins of the original Storm Pass were brightly lit, and countless lights illuminated this area that was originally filled with death and terror.

Neat streetlights spread to an invisible distance, and convoys carrying stones and supplies could not be seen at a glance.

Countless support staff and production staff are building forts here.

Trorian's production capacity is amazing. In just a few days, the new fortress has begun to take shape. The fire protection sacrificial site as the core of the fortress has been built. The fire priests and fire guardians have even started a new project. prayer.

The light of fire appeared in this huge and deep canyon, and the towering and dark Death Mountains on both sides became less scary.

In Kashan's opinion, this scenery is already quite "pleasant".

Rhodes's aesthetic sense has also been distorted, and he actually thinks that this kind of scenery is good. After all, if it were not like this, it would be endless black mist, desolate surface, or even more disgusting swamps, sewers and the like.

"Rhode, do you think we are really going to attack another Fire King city?"

Kashan asked softly. During this period of fighting together, her resentment had dissipated a lot. Rhodes fulfilled his promise with practical actions, so that she no longer resented him. She also admired Rhodes' strong strength and skillful fighting skills. .

He was already a Trorian hero.

Kashan thought.

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

But why can't I fully grasp this fire of anger?

Cassian fell into endless trouble again and missed Rhodes' answer.

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

The Fire of Anger is the soul quality of Kashan's ancestors. It has been treated very specially. If her descendants take this soul quality, they will obtain this legendary fire.

If others take it, their souls will explode and die.

Chief Dean Theodore gave this soul quality to her before he died. She can choose to inherit this power or keep it as a souvenir.

The Archbishop once warned her that taking soul qualities directly was a very dangerous act.

Even if this soul trait has undergone special soul mutation, it is still very dangerous, and side effects such as rejection, erosion, chaos, 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 taking ceremony has been very successful. Kashan has completely obtained the fire without any rejection or adverse effects. Wang Cheng once trained her as a [strong] mark student.

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

No matter how hard she trained, the Fire of Fury could never reach a perfect fit with her.

After detailed research, Wang Cheng believed that it might be the result of the rejection nature of the soul. Even the souls of immediate family members were quite different, and this difference was irreparable.

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

At this moment, Rhodes came.

He invited Kashan to join the Black Order.

Here, she once again received sufficient supplies and resources.

Although the compatibility of the Fire of Anger has never been improved, the Fire itself has become much stronger, and Kashan's own strength has also made great progress.

Therefore, deep down in her heart, Kashan is actually quite grateful to Rhodes.

However, besides gratitude, there are more things buried in her heart, but as Rhodes drifts away, she also thinks that they will never be realized.

"Let's go see Omer's undead passage."

Rod said.

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

Kashan suddenly beamed, she was very concerned about everything about the war.

The two came to the coffin of Giant King Omir located in the northwest corner.

The surrounding guards gave Rhodes a slight salute and then let him go.

Cassan's eyes flashed and she followed Rhodes without saying a word.

The giant's coffin was very large, covering an area of ​​over a thousand yards. The coffin was pure black, with strange lines carved on it. The lid of the coffin had long been opened, and there was no body underneath. It was a very wide tunnel.

A watcher said respectfully: "Your Excellency Rhodes, this is Omir's Passage for the Dead."

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

Step into the passage with Kashan.

The passage is about a hundred yards wide and thirty yards high. If your spiritual vision is not good enough, you cannot see through the black mist. Walking in it is no different from walking outside.

Probably because we have just started exploring, there are no spiritual lanterns placed in the passage yet.

Kashan followed closely behind Rhodes and asked in a low voice: "Is this the passage excavated by the body of Giant King Omir?"

Rhodes smiled and said: "That's a rumor. We don't know where the Giant King Omir died. Binns, the historian of the Royal City, has verified it. This is actually a tunnel dug by the Silver Clan. In order to avoid being discovered, We just built a shell of the giant king’s coffin outside.”

"Silver clan?" Kashan flashed her blue eyes and asked curiously.

Rhodes replied: "They are the ancestors of mankind, a clan known as the Silver Humans. They took shelter under the giants, but were unwilling to surrender to the giant throne and tried to find freedom many times."

"But both the giant clan and the silver clan disappeared in the great extinction of the second era. Since then, the royal city has become an abandoned empty city. It was not until thousands of years later that our hero Trorian returned to the city again. The sacred fire was lit here, and we became who we are.”

Kashan's eyes were shining 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: "Kashan, people change. When I understand that I carry the burden of humanity on my shoulders, I know what I should do."

Kashan clenched her fist: "Humanity will win!"

Rhodes paused, shook his head and said: "Kashan, actually, we know that we may not be able to win. It is just a slogan that humans will win and fire will last forever. Maybe in the next moment, an extremely powerful monster will emerge from The darkness jumped out and killed us all instantly. The sacred fire was extinguished, and we slept in the darkness, just like the humans and civilizations in the countless ruins."

"but."

He turned his words around 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 not fail. We must keep fighting, keep fighting, keep struggling until the fire burns out. moment.”

"In this way, when we die in battle, we will not regret for doing nothing, nor will we be ashamed for wasting our years. We can say to our ancestors with a clear conscience that we did our best."

"Humans, never give up."

The expression in Kashan's blue eyes was complicated, touching, and passionate. She bit her lip and whispered: "You are always so good, I can't compare to you."

Rhodes touched her head and smiled: "Of course I am excellent, but you are not necessarily inferior to me. If you have the fire of anger, everything is possible. The great scholar Delan told me that this is a person who can create The miraculous fire has unimaginable potential, and I believe you will be able to control it in the future."

He gently took Cassan's hand.

"Just hold my hand like this."

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

"Really?"

she asked softly.

"Rhode, do you think I'm... very good?"

Rhodes nodded: "Very good."

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

"I feel high."

"Well, that's nothing big."

"I think it's big."

"The combat level is not strong either..."

"The future will be strong."

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

Rhodes didn't answer immediately. They took a few steps and suddenly their eyes lit up.

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

In front of them was a very huge door. It was made of unknown steel and had a strange luster flowing on its surface.

Weird psychic fluctuations reminded Rhodes that the seal in front refused his approach.

This is what really gives Wang Cheng a headache.

If anyone with psychic powers above level ten approaches it, the seal will be broken through the tunnel.

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

If they cannot pass through this sealed door correctly, it will be difficult for them to arrive at Star City before the scheduled time.

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

Kashan walked up curiously and examined it carefully for a moment. She felt nothing strange and asked in surprise: "What is this?"

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

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

Rod replied, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be here."

Kashan was stunned for a moment, and then her face quickly turned red.

"You, you mean, you stayed with me like this these past few days just to let me open this door?"

"right."

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

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

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

"The washing board 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 can you lose your strong identity?"

Kashan looked at Rhodes, her eyes filled with pleading despair: "You said I was fine..."

Rhodes yawned: "What's so good about it?"

Kashan clenched her fists, and her whole body looked like a roasted red lobster.

The fire of anger released powerful blood energy and enveloped her.

In the distance, University Scholar Delan and Archbishop Horus stared closely at her condition and said to Rhodes using psychic communication: "No, it's not enough..."

Rhodes showed a smile: "I'm sorry, Cass, 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, and her breasts are..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

Bloody light burst out, boiling breath spurted out, and red steam almost flooded the tunnel.

With an unprecedented loud noise, the sealed door set by the Silver Clan thousands of years ago was violently opened, and the seal attached to the door was automatically lifted.

Rhodes let out a long breath, and the mission was finally successful. Cassan still punched the door in extreme anger, and did not point it at him. It was a blessing in misfortune.

Several cheers came from afar, from Archbishop Horus, Great Scholar Delan and others.

They no longer hid and ran over quickly, praising: "Well done, Rod!"

"You're great, Kashan!"

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

Rhodes didn't say anything, he just waited quietly for the blood to drain away, revealing Kashan's figure.

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

She looked at Rod and said calmly: "I did it."

Rhodes nodded: "That's right."

"I know you're here 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 and said softly: "I know."

She staggered and then fell to the ground.

University scholar Delan rushed up, probed her forehead and between her brows, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's okay, her soul has not been irreversibly damaged, it's just that the side effects of the fire of anger have been backfired due to the power output beyond the limit. , the soul becomes very weak and may need to rest for two to three months."

Horus glanced for a moment and said in surprise: "The fire of anger has completely penetrated into her soul, and there is no gap left."

Rhodes didn't speak. Before carrying out this task, he actually already knew the reason why Kashan was not compatible with the Fire of Anger - she had not really let go of the soft part in her heart, and there was always room behind anger.

This is what the Book of Knowledge told him. After obtaining the root spirituality, it can use its knowledge-seeking characteristics without the side effect of damaging the soul.

Of course, the price still has to be paid.

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

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

The investment in her will not be lost.

When she understood sadness and became ruthless, she was completely in tune with the fire 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 but smile.

He must fill his Black Legion with such people so that he will never have to worry about souls again.

At this time, Horus pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Rhodes, Kashan's resource consumption is under great pressure, right? You have made such great contributions, and the royal city cannot let you be burdened. Let's do this, I will restore Kashan's strength. Sign, from now on her material supply will be provided by Wangcheng."

"no!"

Rhodes flatly refused.

If the girl leaves her environment, she will gradually degenerate, and he must use his resources to support her.

After finally reaching this point, Horus, you actually want to pick my peaches?

"Kashan will always be a member of the Black Legion, and no one is allowed to rob her."

Horus said somewhat sarcastically: "Little Rhodes, I have no objection if you want to raise her. After all, everyone wants to make their war group stronger, but Kashan is not what it used to be, and her material supply must be guaranteed." , otherwise it will affect her growth, and Wangcheng is qualified to take back her jurisdiction."

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

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

He looked at the open door and the deep tunnel behind, sighed softly, and said.

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