The Last Dark King

Latest website: Under the thick black fog, Rhodes looked around and saw a huge black shadow standing on the boundless wilderness.

Everyone fell silent. Even if some people came to this ancient city for the first time, they were still shocked by its depth and terror.

Guardian Ye Feng murmured: "It would be great if we could move this ancient city back. Our strength will definitely be able to improve several steps immediately!"

Rigel asked gruffly: "Why don't we occupy it like Star City?"

"idiot!"

Night Breeze cursed.

"Star City is only fifteen hundred thousand yards away from Trorian. It can be reached directly by crossing the Storm Pass and the Necromantic Passage. It can be regarded as an outer city like the City of the North. We can easily provide supplies and combat power."

"Sagus City is 8,000 yards away from the Royal City, almost to the edge of the Ashland Continent. With such a long distance, I ask you, how to provide support? How much does it cost to provide support? How to transport logistical supplies? How much does it cost to transport them once? How many?"

Rigel said dissatisfied: "Don't we have a magical black rice bucket?"

These ridiculous words actually made Ye Feng shut up. His flickering eyes turned to Rhodes, as if asking him if he could do it.

Rhodes covered his face and said dullly: "Don't look at it, I can't do it. Also, can you call me by my name?"

Ye Feng said in surprise: "Why? Although this title is a bit weird and funny, it is also your mark. Remembering it will help you maintain your true nature in the terrifying darkness and avoid going crazy."

Rigel smiled widely and said, "Yes, I like the title I like best when others call me, Iron Man of Ankama. It makes people happy just to hear it."

"Yes." Vito agreed: "I also like a simple title like 'White Smoke'."

Rhodes felt his heart hurt even more. If my name was half as normal as yours, it wouldn't be so painful.

He didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he turned around and asked: "Your Excellency Olivia, I heard that this is your third visit to Sagus City."

Olivia replied calmly: "Yes, no one in the royal city is more familiar with this ancient city than me. The only pity is that I was not there when the Book of Destiny was stolen."

"pity."

Professor Binns said regretfully.

"If it is not taken away by the doomsday cultists and destroyed, we may be able to work out a way to make a real artifact."

Rhodes asked curiously: "What is the difference between a real artifact and a quasi-artifact?"

Professor Binns replied briefly: "Real artifacts are made by gods, their power involves the fundamental source, and their energy potential is extremely high, while artifact-like artifacts are imitations made by humans. Although in some cases they appear to be It seems that the power and efficiency are about the same, but its core essence power usually only reaches the regular source law, and even the power of the source law is not used. "

"The same goes for semi-artifacts. It is an unfinished artifact. From its structure, you can easily tell whether it was made by gods or humans."

Professor Barrett said excitedly: "Your Excellency Rhodes, there may be a method for making the Book of Destiny hidden in Sagus City. If we can obtain it, the production technology of the Royal City can be improved to a higher level."

Rhodes touched the corner of his mouth: "Why do you feel that all technology relies on archeology?"

Professor Binns pushed up his glasses and said in a low tone: "Human civilization has been interrupted due to disasters. We can only see the glory of the past from the few words left in the ruins. We ourselves are survivors of the disaster. From It’s normal to find something useful in the ashes of the past.”

Professor Barrett smiled and said: "Of course, we are not standing still, we are also researching technology, new golems, new constructs, all of which have never been seen before, your little lover Mina , is really a genius in this area.”

"Cough cough cough."

Rhodes interrupted him with a series of coughs.

"Teacher Amides is indeed a genius in this field. I admire his pursuit of knowledge and truth very much. Maybe one day, he can really open the door to truth..."

Professor Barrett's smile grew wider.

"Sir Rhodes, you have a very deep understanding of Amides... So, as the founder, what do you think of this path?"

Rhodes replied cautiously: "I don't know. The future is full of fog. Every path is possible. Only by keeping trying can we find a way to finally save the world."

Professor Barrett held Rhodes' hand.

"It seems that we have another like-minded comrade."

Professor Binns glanced at them and said calmly: "I always believe that history is the most important. Only by understanding what happened in the past can we move towards the future."

Olivia said politely: "Professor Binns is right. The main goal of our trip is the remains of the God of Destiny. But under the main goal, we also need to collect as much as possible the remains of the God of Destiny in Sagus City." resources and explore its secrets.”

Her cold eyes scanned the entire place.

"This is one of the most important ways Trollian develops and why you are here."

"This time, we are trying to clean up the ancient city as much as possible."

She raised her right hand high.

"For Trorian!"

Everyone replied in unison.

"Humanity lasts forever."

"Set off!"

——

The team came out of the canyons in the two huge barren mountains and arrived at this boundless wilderness.

Rhodes looked back and saw the high mountains and canyons stretching to places he couldn't see.

They flew all the way without leaving the mountains and canyons.

This should be what they call the special route.

Otherwise, Trorian would never have been able to find the ancient city of Thagus.

Eight thousand yards has exceeded the limit of Trorian's exploration.

In such a dark place, the black fog is extremely thick.

The powerful smell of pollution hit his face, making Rhodes feel a little uncomfortable.

The team's lanterns are all in the hands of the bishop. These are specially made spiritual lanterns. The light inside is not the afterglow but the afterglow. The power of the fire is emitted and envelopes the team, but the powerful black mist compresses the scope of the fire. When you reach the edge of the team, if you are not careful, you will touch it.

After Rhodes felt it for a moment, he saw that his humanity was declining rapidly, and his fingers were stained black. If he looked carefully, he could see boiling black bugs beating on his fingertips.

"They're getting close to black water levels."

Rhodes' tone was very solemn. Black water is a derivative second only to the black mist of the source. It has strong pollution and erosion capabilities and is the most damaging to fire.

After searching for a moment, I saw condensed black water.

Olivia said in a deep voice: "This is a place 8,000 yards away from the Royal City. It belongs to the deepest part of the dark world. According to our practice, on the whole, the farther away from the Royal City, the thicker the black mist. high."

Rhodes asked in surprise: "Is this due to the influence of the Holy Fire?"

Olivia glanced at him.

"Of course, besides the holy fire, what else can affect the black mist?"

Professor Binns said: "Fire and black mist are like light and shadow. The stronger the light, the duller the shadow. The closer to the holy fire, the weaker the black mist. The farther away from the holy fire, the stronger the black mist. This should be easy to understand. "

Rhodes nodded slightly: "I would like to ask, is there a limit to its range of influence?"

Olivia replied briefly: "For now, we haven't discovered a limit."

Rhodes said in disbelief: "That means that the range of influence of the Holy Fire is at least 8,000 yards... It was like this before the Holy Fire was not strengthened. After it is strengthened, the range will definitely be larger."

Professor Binns said softly: "Little Rhodes, in the dark world, the black mist is like the boundless sea, and the Holy Fire is like a bottomless whirlpool. The sea level becomes lower when it is close to it."

Rhodes frowned and said, "Then we are the center of the whirlpool."

"That's right."

Professor Barrett replied.

"The moment the holy fire is lit, we are the center of the whirlpool. Those capitulationists and shrinking factions are complete rubbish. No matter how you hide, it is useless."

Olivia sighed softly: "Little Rhodes, I originally planned to tell you this after you return to the royal city."

Rhodes looked at her: "What do you mean?"

Olivia's expression turned serious.

"Now that you're aware, I'll keep it brief. This is mainly about the responsibilities of special forces."

"You already know that the range of influence of the holy fire is huge, so you can guess that monsters within this range may be alerted by the breath of fire and rush towards its source."

"This is an unconscious action. The monster will approach it while wandering. It has no meaning in itself, it is just an instinct."

"You should know that the most serious problem Trorian faces is actually the invasion of king-level monsters."

"A battle aimed at killing king-level monsters is called a king-killing battle. However, with our strength, king-killing battles cannot be carried out frequently."

"Resisting king-level monsters and preventing king-level monsters from getting close to Trolian is the main responsibility of special-level combatants."

"Our combat locations are usually very far away, such as the Tower of Giants, the Tomb of the Dragon, and the Great Dragon Wall. Because we are too deep into the darkness, we often fight alone without assistance or support."

"But this is the mission of special forces, and it is also the reason for our transcendent status."

Olivia looked at Rhodes.

"Although you have become a son of fire, having a position does not mean having power. You still have a long way to go before you want to assume this responsibility."

Rhodes clenched his fists: "I know! I will fight side by side with you for a long time and share the responsibility of guarding Trorian. Please let me take another step forward! I can't wait!"

Olivia didn't reply, but the shining moonlight echoed in her eyes, which seemed to be overflowing with expectation.

She led the team down from the mountains and arrived in front of Sagus City.

From the front, this ancient city is very large and ancient, standing in the darkness, full of eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

"Go in here."

Olivia pointed to a collapsed section of city wall not far away.

"Based on last experience, there should be no monsters in this area. We can repair it inside and then officially start searching and exploring."

Rhodes asked: "What are the monsters in the ancient city?"

Professor Binns replied: "Mainly the greedy and weird fallen angels, and some black mist symbionts. Theoretically speaking, it shouldn't be as difficult as the previous times."

Olivia said in a deep voice: "Remember, you can't leave my sight at any time."

She glanced at the sky obscured by thick black fog and showed a faint smile.

"Today is the full moon. It's time for you to see the true strength of Olivia, the pure radiance and moon knight."

"Let's go."

She walked in first.

Rhodes and Lucian followed closely, with Mavis following him. The three of them crossed the collapsed city wall and arrived inside the ancient city.

The internal structure of Sagus City is very neat. Although the houses are seriously damaged, it can be seen that its layout was quite rigorous. The dilapidated roads are close to the residential buildings and spread straight into the depths.

There were many broken statues on both sides, and Rhodes quickly recognized that one of them belonged to the reborn ancient god Heragetos.

"That is the nameless god. There is no information related to her."

Professor Binns pointed at the statue and said.

"That was the Ancient God of Destiny. In despair, she dismembered herself here, hoping to provide strength to those who came after her. But unfortunately, only a small part of his body and soul were scattered outside, and the rest , has always been stored in the ancient city."

"Based on this, we infer that it is a divine city in the second era, and the gods it worships are none other than the nameless god and the god of destiny."

When Rhodes was about to speak, Lucian suddenly walked up and whispered in his ear.

"I found the suspect."
