The Last Dark King

Latest website: For the first time, Rhodes saw how a snow-white face turned red at a textbook speed.

But he didn't think about that aspect at first.

Because this is the sacred fire sacrificial site, the afterglow of the psychic upgrade ceremony is still flickering in front of the public.

You can't say that in front of the king, right?

Just when he was wondering, the next second, Rhodes' attention was attracted by the psychic panel in front of him, and the two big characters "14" on it instantly pierced his eyes.

Although he already knew that he had advanced, this number still gave him great joy.

Wang came to him and said with a smile: "Little Rod, you are now a real super combatant."

"Everyone, please bring fireworks to the birth of Trorian's eighth son of fire."

Bang!

The fire priests exploded spiritual energy at their fingertips, blooming into brilliant festoons.

The top of the holy fire sacrificial site slowly opened, and the golden holy fire emitted thousands of dazzling golden lights, rushing into the sky and covering the entire royal city in golden light.

Wang touched his chin and murmured: "Well, it seems there is something missing... Ah yes, how can I miss the kiss of a beautiful girl at this time?"

Mina's face turned redder: "Your Majesty, this is not good. I don't want to. Rhodes is too ugly and is not within my scope. But since it is your request, I can only do it... ugh Oh wow, you have to compensate me."

She leaned forward and kissed Rhodes' cheek carefully.

Rhodes wiped his face: "Why is there so much water?"

Mina rolled her eyes at him: "Can't I drink too much water?"

The bald master suddenly coughed repeatedly.

Mina looked slightly complicated and asked in a low voice: "Rhode, if you are free, can you help me with my research?"

Rhodes was surprised and said: "Are you encountering difficulties?"

Mina nodded slightly, biting her red lips with her teeth, her tone seemed very depressed:

"The No. 59 psychic construct has been put into actual combat, and its combat effectiveness has basically met expectations. Under certain circumstances, it can be equivalent to a first-level combatant, but it is not suitable for complex battles and does not have high-speed movement capabilities. It was expensive and we only produced twelve units.”

"In order to improve these problems, we designed the No. 99 psionic construct. Its combat effectiveness has been further improved, but it encountered serious engineering structural problems. Many parts require more intense psionic testing, but No special combatants are willing to help us..."

Rhodes scratched his head and glanced at Star Square.

There were a few golden lights flashing on it, proving that there was some divinity involved in completing this matter, but not much.

"All right."

Rhodes agreed, but added another sentence.

"If I'm free."

A smile suddenly appeared on Mina's face: "Great, I knew you would agree, Rod, our friendship will never deteriorate, right?"

Rhodes scratched his head. In fact, he really wanted to say, "Hasn't our friendship deteriorated?"

But it was difficult for him to speak in public.

The bald master also bowed to him and thanked him: "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to assist us in our work. Your move will help Trorian's civilization take a step forward."

"Goodbye, Lord Son of Fire, I hope you can come soon."

After the bald master and Mina left, Wang showed a narrow smile: "Come on, little Rod."

Rhodes clenched his fist and pressed it on his heart: "I will, King. I will definitely find Saint Rey during this dark journey."

Wang smiled slightly: "Little Rhodes, from now on, you have officially existed in the giant tree of Trolian. Next, Horus, Dalin, and Aleihan will tell you how to do it." Become a qualified special-level combatant, and I hope you can become a qualified towering tree soon and protect all living beings in Trolian."

I don't know why, but at this moment, Rhodes felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and honor and responsibility fell on his shoulders.

He is no longer a little person hiding behind a tree, his potential has been transformed into strength.

The king continued: "According to ancient concepts, Ling Lushi is a quasi-king, the most junior king in the realm of kings. Therefore, you are actually in the same realm as me."

Rhodes asked curiously: "King, what rank are you in?"

Wang smiled and said: "I am still at the king level, but I have vaguely touched the fundamental source. By now, you should know that powerful spiritual energy is the basis for touching the source of higher status."

Rhodes nodded slightly. The king's words couldn't be more correct. Even the quantification of dream stars requires a specific spiritual power level.

If he hadn't been promoted to level 14, the three stars might never have been quantified.

"Of course, just powerful spiritual energy is not enough. The will of the spirit, the power of the soul, and the chance in the dark are all indispensable."

The king looked up at the burning holy fire and sighed.

"Little Rhodes, you will soon clearly feel the meaning of the soul controlling the source. It is the authority of the universe and part of the power of the God of Creation. Only by controlling more sources can we control more life. ”

Rhodes actually understood all of this far better than they thought. Although the knowledge in the Book of Knowledge was sometimes unreliable, it was sometimes very profound.

He asked curiously: "King, what is the strength of your psychic energy? I still can't sense it."

Wang also fell into deep thought for a while, and then answered after a long time.

"I don't know too well. There is no instrument in the royal city that can measure my spiritual energy. The last time I tested my spiritual energy was twenty years ago. I have forgotten the specific number. Maybe this record is stored in the big library. If If you want to take a look, I can ask the manager of the big library to find it."

Rhodes looked at Wang in surprise. Although he knew that Wang was very strong, he did not expect that he would be so strong that even instruments could not test it.

As for the data from twenty years ago, it doesn't have much value. The king at that time might not be as strong as him.

"If it's not too much trouble," Rhodes said, "I just want to see how big the gap is between me and you back then, and when will I be able to catch up with you."

The king smiled and said: "Maybe there will be such a day. Although my spiritual power has reached an unimaginable level, the road to the true king has long been cut off. Maybe I will never be able to take that real step."

Boom!

The holy fire suddenly made a dull roar.

Wang looked back and said, "Well, another lost monster is approaching the Holy Fire... I'm going to fight, go back, little Rhodes."

After saying that, he turned into a golden light and returned to the holy fire.

Rhodes looked up at the figure in the blazing holy fire. His spirit had silently entered the spiritual world and fought against all monsters that threatened the holy fire.

Suddenly, he had a strange feeling. He and the king seemed to have the same identity, fighting on different levels, but their ultimate goal was to protect mankind, break through the black mist, and fight for the blue and clean world.

After leaving the Holy Fire Sacrifice, officials from the Royal City Government Affairs Department and Service Department found him.

They said that in accordance with the laws of the royal city, a mansion will be arranged for Rhodes as the exclusive residence of the Son of Fire. He can make any request, and high-level production staff will remodel the mansion strictly in accordance with his needs.

Rhodes was confused when he was asked. He had never thought about this matter, but fortunately, the officials had been prepared and took out a pile of thick notebooks for him to choose.

The dazzling array of illustrations in the book dazzled Rhodes. Various styles of decorative appliances are available, and he can even choose the production staff to rebuild for him. They have different soul characteristics. It only takes three days to build a mansion. .

Trorian's construction ability is very strong. As long as it does not involve high-strength defenses or buildings with special uses, it can be built in a very short time.

Therefore, as long as there are resources, Trorian can easily build a town in the wilderness.

But it is easy to build but difficult to maintain.

And if there is no output, only consumption, then its existence is meaningless.

Therefore, Trorian not only needs territory, but also good territory.

Fertile soil, water flow, and minerals, as long as these resources are available, a human settlement can be built.

As for the construction inside the royal city, it couldn't be easier.

Rhodes randomly picked someone he liked as his chief architect, chose a circular mansion, and let him do the rest.

But this is not over yet. The official then asked him to choose servants. As a giant tree in Trolian, his life should be completely worry-free and extremely comfortable. He should be satisfied with any enjoyment he wants, and there are countless people I am willing to do this job - you know, it is the dream of many people to go uptown, live in a big house, light a big spiritual lamp, and have no worries about food and clothing.

The officials of the Service Department even thoughtfully listed all the people he had interacted with.

On it, Rhodes saw Shasha, the hotel proprietress when he was fighting in the sewers of the lower city, Aduo, the water-spouting flower when he was in the hunter group, and many, many people he had forgotten into the corners of his memory.

"Are they all willing?"

"Of course." The official from the Service Department looked at him in surprise: "Is there anyone else who doesn't want to?"

"All right."

Rhodes selected everyone, but they were still far from the standards of the Son of Fire. Under the urging of the Service Department official, he had to turn to the standards at the back to recommend service personnel, and reluctantly selected many white-skinned and beautiful people. Longlegs entered his mansion.

"Okay, that's all, it's too much and I can't bear it..."

"Okay, Your Excellency Son of Fire."

The service department officials recorded every lucky person and compiled them into a book.

"Huh? Why are they all tall girls..."

Rhodes coughed quickly and changed the subject: "Is there more?"

The Service Department official nodded: "What food do you like, what colors do you like, how do you want service, do you have any special hobbies..."

This question lasted for more than two hours, which made Rhodes heartbroken.

But as soon as the officials from the Royal City Government Affairs Department and the Service Department left, the First Defense Chief Lin found him again.

"Little Rod."

Dalin already had white hair at this time, and the heavy scheduling work put heavy pressure on him, but there was still no trace of fatigue on his face, only a smile.

"I didn't expect you to become the Son of Fire so quickly. I never thought that one day I would be able to hold fifteen trump cards."

"So, I came to you specifically to tell you my experience on how to become a good special combatant."

Rhodes scratched his head. He didn't quite understand what Dalin said. The more powerful the special combatants are, the better. Does this need to be said?

Do you want to teach me how to become stronger?

But soon, Rhodes realized that this was a science.

In most battles, special combatants are the absolute core of the team.

How to fight side by side with teammates whose combat power is too far behind your own, how to maximize their role, how to preserve their vitality, how to make decisions at critical moments, how to tear apart monster clusters to maximize the results, how to win the fastest An overwhelming victory at speed.

Etc., etc.

Dalin explained to him all the key points in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

It doesn't matter if he can't digest it, it's all written down in his notes anyway.

Before leaving, Rhodes asked in amazement: "Have you ever been a special combatant? How do you know so much about it?"

Dalin smiled faintly, his white hair burning in the light of Uptown.

"I'll tell you a secret. This is something only special personnel know. Thirty-six years ago, I was the strongest person in Trolian. No one, no exception."

After saying that, Dalin stepped onto the psychic carriage and returned to the Palace of Fire.

Rhodes was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. This sentence "No one, no exception" contains an extremely powerful spiritual field.

Unexpectedly, Dalin, who is proficient in combat power management, turns out to be a special combatant.

Did he withdraw from the ranks of front-line combatants because his fighting soul was damaged?

Rhodes didn't pay too much attention.

There are many such talents in the royal city, and many among the elders are such warriors who have once been glorious.

Open Dalin's notes and read them carefully.

The more he looked, the more surprised he became.

Dalin's research on special combatants has reached a point where no one can surpass him.

In addition to his experience back then, there are also thoughts over the past thirty years.

"What a treasure it is."

Rhodes quickly immersed himself in his notes, and the day had passed before he knew it.

Legion Commander Liszt completed the repairs, and by the way, he teamed up with Lucian to clean up the Survey Corps. Following the vines on No. 19, he actually found some doomsday cultists hidden in it.

At Rhode's suggestion, all these doomsday cultists were handed over to Mephis.

After she completely freezes the souls of doomsday cultists, she can tell who are the ancient evil thoughts. This is the only detection method at present. It is convenient, fast and cost-free. The only problem is that they will die.

Therefore, unless it is confirmed that you are a doomsday cultist, it cannot be used as a routine detection method.

What is surprising is that these people actually hide an ancient evil thought. He lurks very deep and does not show any abnormality at all.

If he hadn't been implicated by No. 19, he might never have been discovered.

Liszt was shocked and angry, but Lucien, the chief judge, praised highly: "The Survey Corps is the most disciplined regiment I have ever seen. Although there are doomsday cultists, they have never caused serious damage. This shows that although we It’s impossible to tell what’s in everyone’s heart, but discipline can ensure that the damage is kept to a minimum.”

"I propose that all institutions and organizations in the royal city should learn from the Survey Corps."

This suggestion was recognized by the king and the Supreme Council, and a silent change began quietly.

Rhodes gained divinity as a result.

Improve the overall power of the orderly, bring hope, divinity +12

——

very good!

My divinity has reached 191.

Rhodes clenched his fists.

Doomsday cultists, I want you to pay back all the destruction you have caused!

Liszt was also overjoyed and carefully selected five high-level investigators, including the only space user in the Survey Corps.

This was due to the fact that Rhodes had to give up materials when he moved the altar. If there was another space ability user, those precious materials would not have to be discarded in the dark in vain - many highly spiritual materials are not resistant to corrosion and will Corrupted by the black mist and turned into decay.

Rhodes is also gearing up and can't wait to set off.

However, to everyone's surprise, Rhodes was not among the three accompanying special combatants.

The king chose the time-rewinder Pebela, the hammer king Jelaba, and the Red Queen of Canberra.

When they heard the news, both Liszt and Rhodes were shocked and didn't understand why.

Wang also quickly gave an explanation.

In the prophecy made by the new White Tower Lord Ietta for this trip, these three people all have higher priority than Rhodes.

And Rhodes is more suitable to join the expansion battle.

Liszt was extremely regretful, but this was the king's order and he could only obey it.

So does Rod.

But he had no objection. Liszt would not be able to find the legendary Saint Rey in one visit. They would probably have to go through many trips to find another Fire Tower that had existed for eighteen hundred years in the Dark Age. Empire.

Although I couldn’t go with you this time, I can go with you next time and the next time.

In this way, Liszt's team and three special combatants set off.

Rhodes joined Trorian's expansion war.

Initially, he received routine tasks.

Of course, this "routine" is only for him. It is an existential threat to the soldiers on the mission.

Rhodes arrives and quickly saves them.

He can deal with those invincible monsters without much effort.

Rhodes dealt with those unresolved threats just by strolling around.

And these warriors are not weak, they are all high-level combatants, and most of them are above the second-level combat power, and many are even first-level combatants and guardians.

The arrival of Rhodes was like a god descending to earth.

No enemy can stop him.

And Rhodes also gave full play to the role of Dalin's notes, leading them to victory with an almost perfect posture.

The Book of Knowledge was full of praise for Rhodes' recent actions, and there were too many souls needed to repair the Tower of the Sun.

Although there are more than 20 billion souls in the obelisk, it is still not enough.

It desperately needs more souls.

And executing a mission is one of the most efficient actions to kill monsters. Searching aimlessly will not be so fast.

After a few days like this, Rhodes finally received his first king-killing order.

Go and destroy the temple, assist Qingyu, and kill the "King of Light" entrenched there.

The White Tower told them that although this monster was called the "King of Light", it had nothing to do with light. On the contrary, it was extremely polluted and highly corrosive, and was an important obstacle to the expansion of the royal city.

At the same time, the Book of Knowledge was telling him in his mind.

"The dreamland is about to cross the border. We are about to leave the Sea of ​​Chaos and enter the ice prison."
